2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 3

Regression-3

“…that…what is that…? miss?”

At those words, Ariaspil even felt frustrated.

If Jehad, the escort and guidance knight, doesn’t know, then Ariaspil himself doesn’t know.

I had never heard or seen such a mana training method.

‘…but… the principle is…’

But she calmly looked at the boy’s swordsmanship and mana. One after another, they calmly began to unravel how they worked.

“…clearing mana particles.”

“yes?”

“It’s splitting the mana particles around him… and absorbing them into his body.”

“…that…how is it possible…”

Ariasviel felt a deep sediment sticking out of his throat at that unfamiliar sound.

“…ha… I’ll talk to you first.”

“no. miss! I will go first!”

Before getting permission, Jehad ran to Leo’s place.

Even young Ariasviel could see that that hasty act was to make up for his incompetence.

Jehad ran, approaching Leo, who was training, and said,

“Look.”

“…Suck…!”

But Leo only swung his sword.

“Look!”

“hot…!”

There was still no answer.

“Hey!!”

“…ha…well…”

Leo stopped training as if he couldn’t call himself three times in a row.

“What are you doing?”

“I have a precious guest looking for you. Hurry up and follow me.”

“I don’t like it.”

“…What?!”

Simultaneously with the rejection, Leo swung his sword again.

[Can I not go?]

The wise man next to him scratched his beard and asked.

Leo answered him with a small voice.

“it’s okay. If it’s a really valuable guest, I’ll come to you in person.”

[It is so.]

“More than that, can the wise man not hide?”

[it’s okay. I can only see the guy with the Philosopher’s Stone.]

Somehow, when I said that I was too proud, was it because of that? It would be convenient

[But, looking at that bastard, he doesn’t seem like an ordinary knight fluttering.]

As the saying goes, Jehad’s attire was reminiscent of a high-class aristocrat. From neat and clean armor to decorations, the sword boasted the status of the family he belonged to.

‘Jehard, you used to be Ariaspil’s escort.’

Leo also remembered him.

He was a knight who was fired from his family not long after because of his humble skills and useless pride.

“Yeah, man! What safety!”

“Usually, it is polite to come in person if you are a guest, whether you are noble or lowly. Please come by yourself.”

Considering the territoriality he committed when he became the family’s servant, it was a fairly gentlemanly rejection.

“You are so precious that you can’t even imagine. Can’t you come soon?!”

Jehard tried to grab Leo’s arm. Perhaps it was a craft that was trying to intimidate him by using his power.

Pak!

“aah!!”

“Put your hands away.”

Clutching his arm backwards, Leo glared at him.

[What country’s way is to ask people to put their hands away when they are strangling by their arms?]

Oh, I admit that.

Leo let go of the hand he was holding on the advice of the sage.

“…this…! this…! The kid doesn’t even know the subject!!”

Unable to bear the humiliation, Jehad drew his sword from its scabbard.

“stop it. Jehard.”

Ariasviel, unable to watch any longer, stopped him.

“Ah… Miss?”

“Put in the sword.”

“Ha…but…”

“Put the sword in.”

At that, Jehad took a deep breath and put his sword in.

“The escort was rude. I apologize.”

At that apple, Jehad opened his mouth. So far, I have seen her apples while serving Ariaspil because it was only because I could count my hands.

“It’s okay to know. It was my fault for not going right away.”

“This child…! If she apologizes…!”

Ariaspil stared sharply at Jehard’s shout.

“Do not interfere. Jehard.”

“…Ah…I see. miss.”

[Why is that bastard so hot all by himself?]

That’s right though. If you don’t have the skills, you have to have good personality.

“So why did you come? It was late.”

“Duel with me again. properly.”

She grabbed the long sword in its sheath. It must be the promise I made when we first met that I will not be vigilant.

“…I’m sorry, but I’ll turn it down right now.”

Her eyes move sharply.

“…why are you refusing?”

“It takes time to get used to a new training method. I don’t want to fight until I finish it.”

With those words, her attention was turned to Leo’s training method in Dalian.

“Is that mana training method?”

“Yeah, that.”

“It was a strange training method. Did you break up the mana particles and let them absorb into your skin?”

My mouth naturally opened at the correct answer that came out immediately.

[Certainly, jealousy only drives me. I just figured it out.]

So, that’s a real genius.

“I haven’t been used to mana training for a while. The body didn’t even have a core.”

“…What? No core…?”

Ariaspil couldn’t believe it.

You moved so fast, you didn’t even have a mana core?

“How come It was after fighting with you that I came up with this training method.”

[How come you seem to have forgotten that a great teacher taught you?]

When you talk about someone who is already dead, the atmosphere suddenly becomes cold.

“…so you can’t fight right now. From your point of view, it’s better to fight a decent guy.”

“By the way, when exactly can we fight?”

When she refused, her expression darkened a little. I’m still a kid, I’m still a kid.

“When are you going?”

“…you have to go back in a week at the latest.”

“Then let’s fight. on the last day. If that’s the case, wouldn’t there be any complaints?”

At Leo’s suggestion, she nodded.

“okay. Then I will come.”

“okay. It’s late now, so let’s go.”

“No, before that.”

Ariasviel had one last question before leaving. In a way, this was the most important thing.

“What is your name?”

“…uh? I don’t know?”

“You suddenly came and told me to fight. Without self-introduction.”

Was it because of his mood that the eyes of the ghost next to him got cold like that?

[Child, you are always the same. It was the same when I smacked the guardian of someone else’s house]

No. It’s not my mood

“Ugh…! My name is Leonardo.”

“Don’t be cocky and tell the saints. Where dare you.”

Why is that yangban glowing again?

[Isn’t that enough to be an escort, not a gangster?]

That ghost bastard should listen to that escort gangster too.

Oh, it’s a shame.

“How do you say no last name?”

“You don’t have a castle?”

“I don’t have an Abby. So there are no saints.”

[What about your mother?]

The mother did not inherit the surname. It’s not a castle to be proudly raised, or something.

“So I am just Leonardo. Don’t vomit unless you’re going to make a baby that doesn’t exist.”

“…OK got it.”

Saying so, she walked out of the inn.

“…you didn’t introduce me. I am Ariaspil Reinhardt.”

Looking back for a moment, she said.

“ah…! miss! The surname here is…”

While saying that, Jehard glanced at Leonardo.

I couldn’t stand it because I wondered how servile the cheeky little boy would be in front of the heroic family.

“Oh, yes. Reinhardt, be careful on the road at night.”

But it surprised me in the evening. more than 10 years ago.

At those words, it was Jehad who fell like a gallbladder. Ariaspil didn’t care and went on his way.

[I went. But Reinhardt? Is that the warrior family?]

“Yes, that’s the warrior’s family.”

[Somehow, I thought he resembled that little Ruben, but he was a descendant.]

“Yes?”

Reuben Reinhardt, 300 years ago, was the name of the first hero.

I hope that means…

[Oh, didn’t you tell me? Ruben That little boy also learned magic from me. It was pretty loud.]

“…ah…”

The teacher that Leo met was a great person than I thought.

[Do you have any respect for this wise man now? That’s right! My existence itself is a natural monument and a legend…!]

“…how can a person live as an eunuch for 300 years?”

How could that be possible for humans?

It was really great.

[It really kills me.]

Unfortunately, I couldn’t kill him.

***

It was strange.

Obviously, when I first saw him, he was just such a mercenary.

A mercenary who has only third-class talent if it doesn’t work, and second-class if it’s okay.

But in an instant, his gaze changed.

I’ve seen those eyes before.

‘grandfather…’

her grandfather.

It was like the eyes of Marken Reinhardt.

Normally, only a soft energy flowed like flowing water, but when holding a sword, it reminded me of Sura.

In Sura’s eyes, at the same age as her, that child reached that level.

‘…Obviously you said that you don’t have a mana core or a castle…’

He must be a mercenary with no name even for his family. What I was interested in was his outstanding ability, regardless of his origin or ancestry.

no property, no environment,

Without any family, without any teacher,

Leonardo has reached that level.

In terms of talent alone, he would be superior to himself who is called a genius.

What’s more worrisome is that

“…why…?”

Just thinking about that boy made my heart race.

It was the first time I felt it, and I was overflowing with hot and heart-pounding emotions to the extent that I felt that all my life so far was boring.

‘…Should I ask Jehard…’

That thought stopped right away. As he always felt, Jehard was the most unreliable knight he knew.

‘Then what?’

I can’t decide what to do with the feeling I’m experiencing for the first time.

“…”

Her steps were already out the door. He carefully left the inn until he erased the sound of his footsteps with mana.

‘…why am I doing this?’

It was the first time he had acted like this or made a deviation.

But why?

‘My heart is beating…!’

As I went to the boy and to the place where the boy was, my heart beat faster.

Boo-woong!

The closer you get, the stronger the wind noise.

It must have been the sound of Leonardo himself swinging his sword.

“Hey! It’s inspirational!!”

Then Leonardo’s voice was heard.

Boo!! Paang!!

“I don’t even touch my dog when I eat!!”

Leonardo swung his sword through the air like crazy.

“Because there’s nothing to do, do you take a look at people’s internal organs while eating?!”

Leo was making a lot of noise around him with his sword, making unintelligible sounds.

“Why do I have to look inside your body?! You vomited up all the meat you bought with your money!!”

The great thing about being so outrageous was that he was maintaining his mana training in the midst of doing that.

“If you want to show off your chess like that, would you cut it in half? Master!?”

At the same time as the shout, mana began to gather in Leonardo’s sword. The mana was compressed to the limit and cut horizontally.

Aww!!

The giant tree in front of me was cut down in an instant.

“…uh?”

When the giant tree was cut, the tree fell toward Ariaspil.

‘hurry…!’

She tried to draw the sword that was cold beside her. However…

‘You don’t have a sword?!’

He didn’t even bring his sword because he came out in a hurry.

Koo!!

The trunk of the tree fell and a thick dust rose.

“…uh…huh?”

Ariaspil did not respond properly. Even for a genius, it was inevitably difficult to deal with without weapons or posture.

But she wasn’t hurt.

“…are you okay?”

Because Leo ran away holding her with both arms.

‘Thump … pound … pound pound pound pound pound pound …!’

suddenly

the heart speeds up
