After saying that, the butler brought some people right away.
As more and more strangers approached him, he growled. The servants flinched and retreated.
“Stay still.”
I calmed him down and said calmly.
“These people will help you adjust to this place in the future. Never attack or show hostility. Do you understand?”
purr.
As if he understood it, he immediately became meek again.
So, after leaving the guy to the servants, I went into the building.
‘Where is Ashel?’
It’s not strange if I’ve seen it before, but it hasn’t shown up yet. When I came out, I tried to brag a little.
Entering the castle hall with a curious mind, for some reason, I could feel the magical power rushing downstairs faintly.
“···········?”
Is this Ashhel’s magic power?
It was something I had felt every day, so I was able to recognize it at once.
I went straight down to the gym located downstairs.
And soon I could find the Reef brothers and sisters and Ashel standing in front of them with their eyes closed.
Using her racial traits, she had her whole body painted white, and a faint haze of pure white magic flew around it like a flame.
Asking what the situation was, the Reef brothers and sisters found me and opened their eyes wide.
“What’s going on?”
Reef answered my question with a bewildered answer.
“I don’t know. Sir Ashel was dealing with Lygon, but suddenly he stopped standing tall, and then he closed his eyes and looked like this…”
Rigon, who was holding his sword while breathing heavily from the side, also had a puzzled expression on his face.
I let out a small sigh as I looked at Achel, who was still standing still.
‘Ah, maybe…’
Did you come to any realization?
Just listening to Riff’s words, I wondered if something like a sudden realization came while fighting Rygon.
It didn’t look like there was anything wrong with her body, looking at her calm face, so I stood still and watched.
uh uh
The magical power that was rushing in was captured in an instant by her body, and she was able to witness an amazing sight.
【Lv. 82]
·······There is no difference, but the level of Ashel floating above her head has risen.
Ashel returned to her normal state and slowly opened her eyes, with an expression of satisfaction and disappointment.
Then he found me standing on one side and was startled.
“Ron-sama, since when…”
I couldn’t find anything to say, so I just nodded my head and spoke softly.
“You’ve grown even more.”
Achel, who was bewildered at him, gently smiled awkwardly.
But what kind of sudden level up is it really?
Shadow Freon (1)
When the situation was over, Ashel explained to me what had happened.
“While teaching Rigon swordsmanship, a sudden realization came.”
Enlightenment came during swordsmanship guidance?
When I heard the details, I was even more shocked.
While he was receiving Rigon’s sword during a free match, realization came in an instant when he saw Rigon applying the magic training and swordsmanship that he had just taught him a while ago, and unfolding it in his own way.
There are things that can be learned by teaching others, but I didn’t know that Ashel would level up while teaching Rigon.
‘······no.’
But it wasn’t just Ashel that grew up.
I just checked Rigon’s level and immediately doubted his eyes.
【Lv. 21]
Level 21.
It’s not level 11, it’s level 21.
Wasn’t he only level 3 before he left…?
It was said that it was in a state of blank paper with nothing piled up because it had barely recovered with only the damaged magical power.
However, in less than a fortnight, he had grown to a whopping level 20.
At the rate of abnormal growth beyond my imagination, I let out a sigh of astonishment inwardly.
‘What is this really….’
Isn’t that a completely insane talent?
With such a genius, was it possible that the teaching Ashhel also came to enlightenment at the same time?
“Congratulations on that achievement, Sir Ashel.”
Riff stuttered and said awkwardly.
I was thinking about what I should say, but I barely spit it out.
“Thank you.”
Ashel smiled softly and turned her gaze to Rygon.
“Thank you very much too. Thanks to you, the wall that has been blocked for a long time seems to have been torn down a bit.”
“Ah, yes. I’m really happy that it helped Sir.”
Lygon said with a bright smile.
“I, but if it’s okay with you, can you continue the matchmaking?”
“Huh? Oh, I see.”
Ashel nodded and raised her sword again.
Rigon’s expression changed to serious in an instant, and he took a stance.
I watched the scene with slightly curious eyes.
Although the goal is to teach rather than win, it was because I was curious about Rigon’s swordsmanship that brought Ashel to enlightenment.
Paah!
Rigon stomped his feet, and the blade quickly aimed at Ashel’s neck.
The level difference is so far away that it wouldn’t be dangerous, but he didn’t hesitate at all to aim for a vital point in a sword battle.
‘Did Ashel tell you to do that?’
Ashel lightly deflected the sword attack with a calm face.
And the subsequent attack was also blocked by swinging the sword here and there. A very fast-tempo battle ensued.
From the top to the bottom, Rigon swung his sword, aiming at every part in various ways. Occasionally, he held the hilt in reverse, bending his body flexibly and attacking from a strange angle.
“············”.
What should I say about that?
I don’t know anything about swords, but as I kept watching, I had a feeling that Rigon’s swordsmanship clearly resonated with me.
‘It’s very free.’
There is a large frame, but should it be said that there is no system in it?
But it felt much closer to the freedom of being unconstrained rather than crude.
And it wasn’t just the visible sword that felt that way.
The flow of magical energy felt in Rigon’s body, he too was moving very freely in his body according to Rigon’s movements.
When Ashel was fighting, she didn’t use her magic that way.
‘······her.’
【Lv. 22]
Rather than that, the level rose again during the battle. It’s getting stronger by fighting.
Rigon swung his sword faster and faster with a face that soared in exaltation.
Kaang!
Achel, who was constantly being attacked and fired a moderate counterattack from time to time, at some point spilled Rigon’s sword down and pressed it to the floor.
“ah······.”
Rigon smiled awkwardly with a look of disappointment.
Ashel looked at her a little tiredly and said.
“The more the workshop intensifies, the closer to the instinct to wield the sword.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. When I get excited, I don’t become the subject…”
“I don’t mean it’s bad. It’s about fine-tuning and controlling that instinct.
Ashel gave some advice to Lee Gon, pointing out various points about the recent matchmaking. Lygon nodded and listened.
“Then let’s end it here today.”
“Yes, good job!”
“Good job, sir.”
Lygon replied loudly, and Reef bowed her head politely.
The two brothers and sisters went out first, and I and Ashel remained in the dance hall for a while.
I looked at their backs as they left and asked.
“You seem to be teaching well.”
“Ah, yes… it’s not that I’m good at teaching, it’s that both of them are excellent.”
“Especially Rigon.”
Ashel nodded in full agreement with my words.
“The innate talent is really good. If there is such a thing as a genius of non-expenses rather than empty words, I think it would be like that.”
Is it so overrated?
I was just kidding and asked.
“Achelle, how do I compare to you?”
“Yeah? Of course you’re much better than me.”
Ashel cut it off without any hesitation.
Well, he’s not the type to be proud of something like this.
The conversation was cut off, and there was silence for a while, but as if she had just remembered it, Ah, she said with a sigh.
“I’m sorry. You came back, but I couldn’t meet you…”
“Okay.”
“Did you get the Wyvern?”
I nodded.
“Would you like to go see it?”
So, for a while, I gave Ashel a look at the Tillongyi.
***
About a week has passed since I returned to the Monarchy.
In the meantime, I looked at Ashel’s swordsmanship map, played with Thiyong, and learned about the situation in neutral countries, waiting for the date of the meeting to come.
“A knight test?”
I turned my gaze away from the book I was reading and looked at the butler.
“Yes. It is a test that selects new apprentice knights, and also selects those who will be promoted to official knights among the existing apprentice knights.”
“Okay. But why?”
“It’s no different, and we want to know if the Leaf brother and sister want to participate in the test….”
Oh, is that what you’re talking about?
Of course, the butler knew that I was paying attention to the Reef brothers and sisters in many ways.
I closed the book and pondered for a while.
‘It’s a test.’
It’s enough to give the title of knighthood to two people whenever I want.
However, if there was a formal ceremony such as a test, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have them go through it.
Reef is at a level enough to become an official knight right now.
‘And I’m a little curious.’
Although he continued to live in the castle, he had never been interested in knights.
I decided to have Riff join the test to see what the test would be like.
“I will participate!”
When I called her and asked for a doctor, she replied immediately, as expected, as if there was no need to worry.
Lygon, who was next to him, made a sad face.
Although he could be an apprentice knight at the level of Rigon, it was still a little insufficient to become an official knight.
Of course, with the current growth rate, it will reach that level in an instant after a little while.
A few days passed and the day of the knight’s exam came.
“It’s an honor to watch the exam!”
The commander of the Iron Blooded Knights saluted with a truly moved face. Was his name Akin?
A huge number of knights gathered in an orderly manner in a huge outdoor dance hall.
Now, I was sitting with Ashel on a chair on the dansa on one side, looking down at the scene.
Reef was also armed and could be seen mingling amongst them.
“The monarch personally walked here to watch the duel of the lords! So, do your best…”
After the commander’s brief speech was over, the test began immediately without delay.
First of all, it was the test of apprentice knights who were promoted to official knights. Most of the knights are level 30.
The form of the test was a duel with members of the Iron Blooded Knights, the most elite of the monarchy, and passed if they endured for more than a certain amount of time.
Even though the time was only 3 minutes, more than half of the knights could not stand it and quickly fell off.
‘Well······.’
I watched the scene with a little bored eyes.
It looks a little tighter…
I don’t know what I was expecting to see the exam, but seeing it in person, it wasn’t as interesting as I thought it would be.
Not long after, it was Riff’s turn.
Her opponent, the Knights Templar, was an elf knight in the mid-level 50s, not a sword, but a spear as a weapon.
Nettle!
As soon as the duel started, Reef turned his head to avoid the spear blade stabbing him in the face.
She tried to narrow the distance by barely avoiding and blocking the one-sided attack by using the difference in her reach.
As we saw in Actipole’s game, it was a bold move that didn’t seem to care at all. The members who attacked him also seemed a little surprised.
