Mentor and mentee (3)
“Please be my mentor, Ren-senpai. No, Ren.”
“….I thought so.”
The person I chose as my mentor was Ren.
He nodded calmly as if he knew he was going to be elected, but just by looking at the faint smile on his lips, I could tell how he was feeling right now.
This was especially true because Ren was usually less expressive of his emotions.
“…why is that guy?”
Of course, the rejected mentor candidate, Karl Ernor, couldn’t laugh.
He threw away his sword-like appearance and showed off his embarrassment for the first time.
“He is the current 4th year chief, and he is the epitome of the 3rd greatest duke of the Empire.
It’s a gorgeous story.
First of all, the 4th year senior certificate that proves that you have successfully attended the tight academy for 4 years.
The spirit of the Ernor family, one of the three great dukes of the Empire.
After graduating there, as an apprentice knight of the Imperial Guard Corps, he is an existence that will cut off the start that a knight would not be able to look forward to.
It would be hard to find a mentor as good as this one.
Because he has a strong position within the academy, as well as outside, and he can even pave the way for the future as a knight.
However.
[Karl Ernor]

Stamina: B (S-)
Agility: B (S-)
Intellect: B- (A)

‘…As expected, Ren is more suitable as a mentor.’
Only one of Ren’s swordsmanships was superior to all of Karl Ernor’s.
‘A chivalry that becomes stronger when protecting the master or by the side of someone, especially a lord to whom he has been loyal. A sword that makes you handle the sword as if it were your own body and maintains sharp tension all the time. Up to Myungkyung Jisoo who doesn’t panic under any circumstances. It’s definitely full of good qualities, and the skill level is high like a duke… but it’s still not enough.’
Karl Ernor was born as a knight to the bone.
He is definitely strong, but if his strength is at the mid-level, Ren could be said to be effective even in the second half.

‘…to see it again, it’s bloody.’
The status window you saw in the waiting room during the honor duel.
Mana went up a notch and went from C+ to B-.
It’s only been a few days, but it’s a status window with changes.
Even if Ren and Karl Ernor fight in this state in the first place, it would not be my misunderstanding that Ren has a higher chance of winning.
But I couldn’t say that I decided by looking at the status window, so I gave Karl Ernor a good reason to convince him.
“Isn’t Carl senior in the graduating class? I just thought that mentor and mentee classes shouldn’t be a hindrance to graduation preparations. For the reason I said in the first place, I heard that 4th graders and seniors do not participate as mentors in mentor and mentee classes, so I am curious as to why.”
“…I just thought that your appearance in the honor duel and the kindness you showed to Duke Berrys was worthy of chivalry. If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do but i have a good look at you If you need anything, come find me.”
Graduation preparation.
As an academy student, it is something that must be done unconditionally, whether it is the spirit of a duke or a princess.
On Earth, it’s like a college student’s graduation work.
Of course, there is no way that Karl Ernoir made his graduation preparations poor, but he already has a life as an apprentice knight who can be called an intern.
Naturally, I was reluctant to say that Karl Ernorr could be in a hurry in the mentor and mentee classes.
At least for superficial reasons.
“Thanks for the favor. I hope that Carl-senpai will also remove the apprentice knight ticket as soon as possible and become a full-time knight.”
“…even if it’s just a word, thank you.”
Karl Ernorr, who had secretly expressed his joy at the word of an official knight, returned with his characteristic expressionless face after a while.
Exuding a sharp atmosphere like a single sword, he eventually left the faculty room.
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to play the role of a mentor well… but let’s go.”
“Yep.”
I also left the faculty room with Ren, who is now my mentor.
“Good mentors and mentees were born.”
Newly born mentors and mentees.
Seeing this, Belmont shed a happy smile.
The biggest treasure he discovered in the Knights Department is that the two have come together in the name of a mentor and a mentee, so how can he not welcome them as an educator and as a knight?
That’s how the first day of the mentor and mentee passed.

“Before starting training… can I take a look at your body?”
“It’s not going to happen.”
backyard.
We showed up in a fairly large backyard, and before we started training right away, Ren had time to check my condition.
shoot-
Ren’s mana gently stirs my body with the cold wind.
And after a while, Ren’s mana disappeared like snow.
“…Hmm, again.”
Seeing the mana disappearing naturally even though he hadn’t collected it, Ren nodded as if he knew it.
“I will skip the mana-related classes. It’s your body, so I can say something, but… there’s no answer. How can I not touch my body? You must have a constitution that can’t collect mana.”
Rarely, Ren, who had expressed his disbelief in the current situation with a kick to his tongue, put his hand on his scabbard.
“Mana believes you will take care of it. As shown in the honor duel.”
“Yeah, I didn’t even believe that Ren would solve my mana problems. You are already looking for ways through other people, so please teach me only what you do best.”
“It’s daring, but… I rather like it. It’s nice to be clear about what you want.”
Put aside the mana problem and teach them what they are good at.
If I shortened it, it meant that, and it wasn’t something I had to say to Ren, a senior and mentor, but rather, Ren was pleased with the words.
Sureung-
The sword in the scabbard is gently pulled out with one light touch.
A foot sword that is not lacking to be called an art.
Reflecting sunlight and shining brightly, it is aimed at me.
“Look at your skills. I will not spend mana. However, be aware that natural enhancement of the body through mana cannot be ruled out.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“You can use Manastones like in an honor duel.”
“All right.”
The moment Ren, who was calmly telling the conditions of the match, curled up the handle of the sword and pulled out the sword as I swallowed dry saliva as it looked like it was about to pop out at any moment.
“…But if I use Mana Stones, do I have to pay the price?”
With a trembling voice, Ren asked if he had to pay for the magic stone, and the steam leaked out.
‘…By the way, Ren was also a commoner.’
The sight of him speaking the same words as when I first received the magic stone from Walpurgis made me even laugh out loud.
Well, it was a natural question.
For the price of a few manastones, the money that commoners can buy for several months or a year comes out.
Otherwise, it could be the equivalent of an academy tuition.
Of course, Ren went to the academy on a scholarship as an outstanding student, but the structural limitations of being a commoner were clear.
“…I think it’ll be fine because I got it too. Or maybe you can claim it as a tuition fee and charge it to the academy.”
“Great, I’m sorry. The money of the commoners is managed by your sister, and the funds that the commoners deal with are not large…”
“I mean, you’re talking about using pocket money.”
“Heh heh heh!”
I’m a little bit out of breath
Swordsman Ren.
Seeing the hidden side of him, who is a cool guy just by hearing his name, and who always took the top spot among male characters while playing games, it made me laugh more than just lose my temper.
The future swordsman is spending pocket money on his older sister!
And worrying about the price of mana stones that might be used in the Dalian for teaching?
‘Money is the best. I’ll have to figure out a way to make money in the future.’
The common people are a place that can be a big help to me.
After that, it can be said that after the imperial faction, the aristocratic faction.
The thin line of funds of such a commoner group is likely to become a problem in the future, so I grabbed my sword after thinking of ways to make money.
“going.”
“…Yes, come!”
Now, even if I shouted out loudly, my illusions were all shattered, bro.
The Ren I knew had been broken for a long time, so I quickly rushed towards the sharp-pointed Ren.
*
wave-
The dirt floor in the backyard was dented, and with that power I ran forward as if it were being shot.
A huge force is contained in each step, and it is quickly displaced.
‘Is it the strength of strength A- agility B-?’
It was only one step difference, but changing the front seat made a huge difference.
B+ to A-.
C+ to B-.
It was only one step, but I could feel it with my body that it was much faster than it was at the time of the honor duel.
Is that so?
“Fast!”
All of a sudden, I arrived in front of Ren with his sword raised.
Facing the steel sword glistening in the sunlight, I raised my sword as it was.
‘Three Hammer Sword.’
He muttered to himself the name he had become so accustomed to by now and slapped him from top to bottom.
The power to break the mountain and relieve bone pain.
That power fell straight down towards Ren.
However.
“Your power is well known. And heaviness is weak to softness.”
“…!”
Whirick- Boom!
The moment the sword meets the sword
There was no heavy hand taste characteristic of Seham Gum.
With the softness of just smashing cotton candy, Ren took my sword and threw it to the ground.
“…”
“…”
Silence lingered.
only one number.
I felt like I was being overwhelmed again after I overpowered Duke Berrys by that one move.
Of course, it was a battle between a wizard and a knight, and the difference was that quite a lot of mana stones were used back then-
‘…this is a little hot.’
got hot
No matter how Ren
Even though it’s dark.
Shouldn’t it be said that just gently passing over the power that I have is denying my very existence?
Ren, who was angry at me, said with a soft smile.
“again?”
“…Do it again.”
“A magic stone?”
“I don’t write.”
He suggested again that he could use the Manastone, but he did not want to use it.
“do whatever you want. Come when you are ready.”
“…I will go right away.”
There were no two recommendations.
Seeing him straight away, I sprinted back to my seat.
Even though her body was devoid of mana, her body that had already surpassed the level of a knight literally approached Ren very quickly.
Ren didn’t care about how I approached in an instant.
‘Three Hammer Sword.’
I raised my sword again and recited the name of the Seham sword.
Kugugugu-
Ren clicked his tongue at the enormous energy that was gathering again.
“It’s the same repertoire. I wore it all day in honor duels, wasn’t it too simple?”
“…”
Because I’m not a genius like you.
Like the name of Rensik Comprehensive Swordsmanship, various swordsmanships could be used, and I could be like that someday, but at least for now, there was only one heavy swordsmanship.
So, without giving away any diversity, I unfolded the three-hammer sword again.
Whoo!
A single sword that fell down from the top of the head.
Faced with the power that would break the mountain and break the bone pain again, Ren prepared to take it seriously while kicking his tongue.
‘It’s not going to be used if it’s badly beaten.’
From the time of the Honor Duel, Ren didn’t like it.
It was the appearance of focusing on power and relying on a single technique called the Sehamsword.
So, on this occasion, he raised his sword at an angle to show how bad and useless it is to cook and eat with a single sword.
‘….the Four Liang Balcheongeun.’
A technique that a student from a distant country, Mu Empire Han, demonstrated in an exchange match last year.
When it comes to handling strong and heavy objects with just a little force, Ren showed off that skill, which is not an exaggeration to say the least.
and-
Qwajik-
“….what.”
I sensed something strange.
It all starts with taking the first attack lightly.
However, the strength and weight he felt from the sword he had erected at an angle was not normal.
“Wait, something is wrong with this-”
“Aww!”
To that, Ren informed him of something strange with a thought like, ‘What, this is scary,’ but with Heize’s energetic appearance, Ren felt his feet sink.
‘…I think this is ruined.’
A situation in which his feet are tied and his arms are being used to block the three-ham sword.
When the arm that blocked the Seham Sword trembled with intense power.
Ren could see.
“ah.”
Paang!
Heize unleashes one of her sword hands and throws a fist at herself.
And feeling the overwhelming power that he could not escape even though he was crushing himself with one hand, Ren had to face Heize’s tightly bandaged fists.
