The heads of each school were shocked when they saw Ren Argen’s amazing skills.
I heard countless times from somewhere that he had reached the level of mastery.
However, there is a big difference between just hearing about something and seeing it in person.
‘Ren Argen was like this? And just now, what the hell is that sword… … !’
Homan, the leader of Bihoryu, felt goosebumps all over his body when he understood the secret behind Ren’s swordsmanship.
A shiver runs up your spine.
How on earth can Ren, who has never even dabbled in Bihoryu, wield a sword like that?
‘Was that true?’
A story that Scarlett hinted at after returning to the family.
The saying that Ren’s swordsmanship is better than anyone else in the family. It is said that he improved and developed his swordsmanship just by looking over his shoulder and seeing the swordsmanship performed by his family’s knights.
It was such an absurd story that no one believed it, but at this moment, it was the first thing that came to Homan’s mind.
Homan, who was looking at Ren, who was calmly receiving people’s attention with his arms crossed, this time cast his gaze towards Colin.
Colin returns to the group of people with a gloomy face.
‘A protective sword?’
I don’t know what Len was thinking when he said those words, but Homan’s eyes kept being drawn to Colin.
“Scarlet Argen. “Choose.”
“You, come out.”
The guardian knight chosen by Scarlett is the guardian knight of the Saebi style.
As he was pointed out once again, the expression of Aisen, the leader of the Ssoebi Ryu, crumpled.
Although he was not as skilled as Colin, he was strong enough to be Arjen’s guardian knight.
Scarlett wins after a very close battle.
Next up is Marcia, the family’s guardian knight.
It was the guardian knight who greeted Ren at the entrance.
‘Marcia… , has been in the family for a long time.’
In order for a Guardian Knight to participate in the Sword Initiation Ceremony, he or she must become a Guardian Knight and contribute to the family for 10 years.
Until then, you have been honing your sword skills by learning the techniques of each school, but once you are officially recognized as a family sword at the sword initiation ceremony, you become a true member of the school from that moment on.
‘Ho… … .’
Marcia chose the guardian knight of the middle class.
Senior Knight Lieutenant’s Knight. There were easier options, but she chose a fairly strong knight, perhaps inspired by the previous two battles.
‘It’s pretty good.’
The result is victory.
The left arm was cut and bleeding, but this was a minor wound during the sword initiation ceremony.
“Sevilla, you are eliminated.”
The last participant in this test, a Guardian Knight named Sebia, narrowly lost to the opposing Guardian Knight and was eliminated.
This sometimes happens when the person you choose grows up rapidly without you even seeing him.
Ren leisurely waited for the next test.
“Next is the showdown with the Sword Initiate.”
Leonora explained the next test to the three people.
“Participants must select and defeat those recognized as the family’s sword.”
The most cruel test in the sword’s initiation ceremony was the second test.
This test is also the reason why the Arzen family has continuously produced excellent knights.
Even if you become the family sword, the family badge is taken away the moment you are defeated twice in a row at the sword initiation ceremony held every year.
Even if you were lucky enough to pass the sword initiation ceremony, if you were singled out and defeated in the next or subsequent initiation ceremony, your luck would end.
Therefore, even prosecutors who retired from the front line had to constantly train themselves. If you become weak, you will be bitten and pushed away.
A world of survival of the fittest. That was Arzen.
“Ren Argen, choose.”
At Leonora’s command, Ren went up to the sparring hall.
The knights of the family are everywhere.
And they had already passed the sword initiation ceremony and received the certificate of being the family sword, and their eyes wavered every time they made eye contact with Ren.
A knight who has reached the level of master.
His skills had already been proven by defeating Guardian Knight Colin in just one move.
Colin was also an inductee recognized as a family sword, but the first test was separate from the disqualification of an inductee.
“You can choose the same person if you want.”
“No, I don’t plan on doing that.”
Ren immediately rejected Leonora’s words and slowly looked around.
Most of the drivers who turned their heads or lowered their eyes as soon as they made eye contact were disqualified if they lost this time.
Ren’s gaze, which had been scanning the surroundings, stopped at the audience area where his direct relatives were gathered.
He then turned to Arhaan, who was sending burning eyes towards Ren.
“me?”
Arhaan points to himself with his index finger and tilts his head.
As if he had never thought that they would choose him, he twisted his face and stood up.
“Please come out. older brother.”
“This damn bastard… … .”
With his pride completely damaged, he cursed and went up to the sparring hall.
An exhilarating feeling of death that made his skin tingle enveloped Ren.
“I’m proud that my skills have improved a bit.”
“Probably not a little bit.”
His expression crumpled at the words he could not refute, and he drew his sword.
Among the sword initiates, Arhaan is one of the most difficult opponents in terms of skill alone.
Skills that reach the highest level of a senior knight. In addition, he was never selected for the initiation ceremony because he had great swordsmanship and natural sense.
But being singled out like this made me feel very bad.
Even if it is Ren.
“good. “I wanted to hang out with you once, and it worked out well.”
“I feel the same way.”
As before, the knights who had expected to select knights from the three major schools and crush those schools with their skills showed interest in the unexpected choice.
Sreung-!
Ren wrapped the blade of Chohon in gray energy.
“Brother Arhan’s swordsmanship is the best in the family.”
“… … .”
“In the past, the person I envied the most was my older brother.”
Arhaan frowned at Ren’s words, which he recited as if recalling past memories.
“Ha, now that I’ve surpassed you, I’m not jealous…” “Is this what you want to say?”
“It’s not like that.”
Ren sprayed energy into the air with a light twist of his wrist and then took a step and took a stance.
“I wonder how much that greatest talent has caught up with me now.”
Ren twitches one corner of his mouth.
Arhaan’s eyes filled with anger at that mocking look.
“I was just curious about that.”
Ren’s sword was crushed along with the gray sword energy swirling around Chohon.
Kaaang!!
Arhan calmly receives Ren’s sharp sword attack.
“joy!”
Conceit was creeping into a corner of his mind as he felt that Ren’s attack was more acceptable than he thought.
In an instant, dozens of sword strikes were exchanged.
At first glance, the battle was so intense that it felt like a close match.
But as time passed, Arhaan’s expression gradually hardened.
The difference in power was not as overwhelming as what was seen in the Holy Kingdom.
But every time the swords clashed, and every time he felt like he could win, Ren’s sword strike became sharper, and the gray sword fiercely dug into Arhan’s wounds.
Arhaan’s mood went up and down every moment.
The competitive spirit that had been burning when Ren killed the demon lasted only for a moment.
I was definitely annoyed at being worse than the younger brother I had ignored in the past, but I didn’t feel like putting in a crazy effort to beat him.
But the more he crossed swords with Ren, the more something in the corner of his heart began to stir little by little.
“Brother, is this all there is to it?”
Damn!
The chohon split Arhaan’s cheek, leaving a line of red blood.
In this situation, wounds are accumulating little by little all over the body, and blood is flowing steadily.
Arhaan felt as if he was being toyed with by Ren, and his annoyance welled up.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Arhaan’s face was distorted in anger, and his sword was imbued with blue wind.
In an instant, the trajectory wavered and the accelerating blade pierced the air at super speed.
Shhh shush!!
Sharp and secretive.
The invisible sword aimed at Ren’s vital points in rapid succession, like the wind, but all failed.
Wow!!
Arhan’s sword struck Chohon’s side accurately and vibrated loudly.
Arhaan narrowed his eyebrows at the sight of the unharmed Chohon and took a step back, glaring at Ren.
“What on earth is that sword?”
No matter how famous the sword was, if it had just been hit by that blow, it would have been broken or at least cracked.
But Ren’s sword didn’t even scratch the surface, let alone crack it.
“It’s a sword with a soul.”
“… … It can be said to be a treasured sword. “I want it. Can I have it?”
“I’ll give it to you if you beat me.”
Arhaan’s expression subtly relaxed.
His face was already covered in sweat and his whole body was covered in blood, but his eyes became even more alive.
“You will regret it.”
“What would you do if you lost instead?”
Arhaan’s eyes sank. A burning desire in his calm blue eyes.
No one watching the fight between the two predicted that Arhaan would win.
A battle between a master and a high-ranking knight.
Arhaan, covered in blood, and Ren without a single wound.
Victory in the fight was as if it had already been decided.
Anyone could see that it was foolish for Arhaan to bet anything on the outcome of this fight.
However, Arhan calmly answered Ren’s question.
“If I lose, I won’t go under you.”
“Arhan!!”
Third Cassius Argen, who was in the stands, shouted.
Even though he simply called his name, everyone in the room felt that it meant, ‘Why are you saying such a stupid thing!’
Not only Cassius but all the family members were making noise.
Arhan is one of the highest-ranking knights of the family that they all recognize.
Not only that, but everyone knows that her swordsmanship skills are on par with Eden Arzen, who is likely to be the next head of the family.
However, his lazy personality and debaucherous lifestyle were preventing his talent from blossoming.
And most people thought that Arhaan would never become a master because of his unchanging nature.
But despite this, we have no choice but to acknowledge his fighting ability.
For Arhaan to fall under Ren’s control was not a matter to be taken lightly.
Although he hadn’t shown much yet, Ren’s skills were real, and everyone in the room felt that he would become a very threatening figure if he entered the competition for the next head of the family.
Arhaan going under him is no different from giving wings to the already threatening power of Ren.
“What nonsense are you talking about! Cancel it now. Arhan Arzen!”
Aisen, the leader of the Sobi-ryu, threw a fit and tried to dissuade him.
It was during the sword’s initiation ceremony, and the head of the family was also there. It was a situation that could not be ignored by saying it was a lie.
“Everyone be quiet. “The sparring is not over.”
However, the crowd quickly became quiet due to the family head’s words.
“great. older brother.”
As Ren smiled and answered, Arhaan’s face became a little more serious.
Everyone around him thought Arhaan’s words were impulsive, but they were not at all.
Arhaan was calmer and more rational than ever. Rather, he was becoming more confident.
And in the first place, even though Arhaan was lazy and self-indulgent, he was not the type of person to throw himself away emotionally.
“Don’t be sure you will win. “It will be a little different from now on.”
Arhaan’s mood changed in an instant.
From Noble mtl dot com
Subtly changed posture. The eyes shine sharply as if they could eat the other person.
Arhaan’s sword moved along with the wind that blew out of nowhere.
Huh!
Ren twisted his body.
A razor-blue blade grazed his arm.
The thrust became faster than before.
Shhhhh!!!
Without stopping, the sword strikes become faster and faster at a speed that is difficult to perceive, scattering blue flashes in all directions and flying through the air.
‘… … Huh.’
Even Ren, who had never lost his composure, was extremely nervous at this moment.
A faint spirit of fighting spirit is visible in his blue sword.
The smell coming from beyond the wall as a crack appears in the thick wall.
– Ren and Arhan need a chance. An opportunity to break the shell that surrounds you. I want you to play that role.
When I heard Brother Lian’s words, I was skeptical.
But now I think I know for sure.
‘Indeed, that’s crazy talent.’
Every time his sword swings, a line of cracks appears in the wall blocking him.
“Hmph!”
Wow!!
Blood seeped out of Ren’s arm for the first time.
As if he was in a state of trance, Arhaan’s eyes lost focus.
A frantic sword attack.
It’s as if we’re in a typhoon, and the fierce winds are blowing non-stop.
We can’t just accept it like this.
Ren raised his brain power.

It’s shaky… … !
At the same time, a dark gray spirit radiates out, combines with the brain energy, and moves forward, burning the floor of the sparring hall black in an instant.
Googoo googung!!
A thunderbolt encroaching on the flow of a storm.
As the two swords collide, the swirling torrent spills out beyond the sparring hall and into the stands.
“Ugh… … !”
“Guardian knights, prepare for impact!”
“Unsheath your sword! “Unfold your spirit and don’t get caught up in the aftermath!”
With a flash of light flickering in the storm, Chohon spewed out blue brain energy in all directions.
