Learning magic is difficult.
Many wizards train themselves to improve their level, but they cannot enter a new level.
Some are so frustrated that they go half insane.
That is why magic was a fearful science.
However, Leo was able to assert.
What I’m really afraid of is not magic, but physical exercise.
Compared to physical training, learning magic in a corner of a room was like heaven.
“Huh… Whoop… Huh… .”
Leo was running with a face that looked like he was going to run out of breath at any moment.
Celise asked in a worried voice from the side.
“… Are you okay, low?”
“This, this… It’s fine… see?”
“… You’d better get some rest.”
“… … .”
However, Leo did not nod his head at her words.
He knew too.
That my eyes are already spinning tight.
However, even after vigorously telling her that he had come to exercise, he hadn’t even completed one lap of the gymnasium yet.
But rest?
‘People have pride!’
But that thought disappeared after exactly 30 seconds.
“… huh huh yes… Let’s rest for a bit.”
I couldn’t help it.
A person’s willpower collapses like this in front of the body.
Leo forgot all about being a member of the royal family and collapsed onto the floor.
Celise handed her a handkerchief and water.
“Thank you Celise. I’m so sorry. I feel like I’m taking away my training time.”
“There is absolutely no need to think like that.”
Celise shook her head resolutely, then smiled softly.
“On the contrary, I am just glad that you are with me for my morning training.”
It was a daily training, but it was even more powerful when the loyal master was with him.
“But can I ask you something?”
“then. What are you curious about?”
“Why did you suddenly come to the training room in the morning?”
“Ah, that.”
Leo frowned as if he didn’t want to even think about it.

Just yesterday
Leo ate the elixir Sonia made and sent.
It was an elixir that randomly erased penalty characteristics.
He took it and immediately went to the mirror to check.
Thanks to the trait [Insight of All Things ＜U＞] he acquired a few years ago, he was able to check his condition when he looked in the mirror, just like looking at his stats in a game.
As a result of checking… .
‘I would have thought the body traits would have disappeared.’
The missing penalty was ＜Body＞.
What I wished for in my heart was ‘talent from heaven’ or even ‘chronic lack of stamina’, but it didn’t work out as I wanted.
‘Tsk. I prayed so hard.’
Of course, even if I complained like this now, it’s not too bad that my body has disappeared.
It was because he could use the arcane magic, Breath of Frost, which he was learning right now, a little better.
“Whoa… I’m finally breathing a little bit.”
After taking a short break to catch his breath, Leo looked at Celise.
“Selise. Could you teach me some swordsmanship?”
“Yes? Swordsmanship?”
“yes. I want to learn it for self-defense.”
“what… Okay. It is not very difficult to tell lightly.”
Celise nodded.
Until now, Leo hadn’t been able to do it because his stamina was so weak, but if he was a noble or royalty, he would of course learn little by little about self-defense swordsmanship.
“Then I will bring you a sword for you to use. Please wait a moment.”
“There is no need for that.”
Leo got up from his seat and stretched out his hand.
[Freeze Structural Formula – Long Sword]
– Damn it!
A translucent blue longsword was created in his hand.
“This is fine.”
“… That’s a really good ability.”
Celise stood next to Leo.
As she demonstrated, she grabbed the sword with both hands and struck it down.
A neat trajectory fell in a straight line.
“Did you see?”
“yes.”
“Try the same. First of all, 100 vertical cuts… would be too hard Considering the low stamina, I will try only 10 times.”
Leo nodded, then took the same pose with the ice sword he had made.
And.
– Wedges!
I swung my sword wide once.
“… … .”
Celise’s eyebrows twitched.
She just blinked, wondering if she had seen something wrong.
“… Would you like to try again, my lord?”
“Okay.”
And Leo’s vertical slash that continued once again.
Seeing it twice, Selize realized that she was not mistaken.
Her eyes widened.
‘It is perfect.’
The trajectory of Leo’s sword was not much different from his own.
Sellies knew better than anyone that he had never learned swordsmanship.
This must be the first time, but at this level!
“… You have great talent not only in magic, but also in swordsmanship.”
Leo shrugged at Celise’s words.
‘That’s what. It’s because the body traits are gone.’
＜Body＞ is a characteristic that makes you unable to do anything with your body.
However, if you remove that characteristic, you will not go back to normal.
Your body works in the complete opposite way, and you become good at everything you do with your body!
‘That’s why, if the lack of stamina disappeared, I would have become the king of stamina.’
Then, no matter what I did, I wouldn’t be short of breath.
Of course, there was a good point because the body was gone.
‘Now I can prepare for close combat.’
Weaknesses of wizards and other long-distance occupations.
It’s just that at a distance right in front of you, you can’t help but be weak.
In the past, when he had a fight with the Warlock of the Casein Guild in the capital city, he showed an overwhelming advantage over Lord Hanson from a distance.
However, in a close state, it was slaughtered by the sword steel.
Unfortunately, the compatibility between wizards and knights was proportional to the presence or absence of distance.
However, there were a few wizards in history who went beyond that limit, and one of them was Karst the Great.
The method was simple.
freezing structure.
Using it, he participated in battle while wearing an ice sword and armor.
According to history books, close knights were directly slaughtered, and distant enemies were shot and killed with magic.
Leo, who was sick of anything he did with his body, couldn’t do it even if he knew about it until now…
‘It’s different now.’
In a situation where terrifying monsters such as the Vampire Prince and the Lord of the West are infested, it is a good thing that there is a swordsmanship card in addition to magic.
Because of this, there was a lot of work to do, but Leo was genuinely happy.
Because I could have gotten stronger faster.
“Selize, do you think it’s okay when you see me?”
“Yes! This is enough to really teach you how to use a sword properly!”
“Then tell me. I will try hard.”
“It’s an honor, low!”
After Selisse’s eyes twinkled, she began teaching her sword in earnest.
The unfortunate thing was that even after working so hard, my stamina was weak.
“Huh… Heo-eok… Now, wait a minute. Let’s rest for a bit.”
“You haven’t swung it thirty times yet, have you?”
“The arm… I think it will fall.”
Weak lung capacity, cardiorespiratory endurance, and soft limb muscles.
No matter how much one’s bodily talents increase, the body is so weak that it will not be able to demonstrate 100% performance.
Sellise murmured in pity.
“If he had only a little better stamina, he could have gotten stronger faster than me.”
‘… That’s what I regret more.’
Leo muttered inwardly.

King Biden has been busy for a while.
“Then, today’s agenda will be dealt with like this. Majesty.”
“Yeah.”
When one of the nobles of the count class withdrew, he leaned on his back.
“after. It’s hard.”
In the past few days, he has been frantically busy taking care of state affairs.
To be precise, because of one agenda, the nobles were called over and over again to have a meeting.
The arrival of the Mage Tower in the Duchy of Ryant.
Normally, I wouldn’t have cared too much.
It was because the dukedom was so independent that it could almost be regarded as a single country.
However, if the incoming Mage Tower was the Dark Mage Tower, the story was different.
As for the warlock Logan, he was reliable because he had done a rough investigation in the palace, but it wasn’t until the other warlocks under him.
That’s why I was taking care of it with great care.
“Why did the duke not tell me in advance about this and make me suffer like this?”
The King tutted and clicked his tongue.
Even if he said that, I could easily guess the reason.
It was obvious.
His youngest son, who has been rotting lately, must have asked for it.
After running around the outside hard, I did not want to be scolded, so I threw such a large incident to my father.
There was no mate.
The Marquis of Merverde, who was next to him, scolded the King of Byden.
“hahahaha. Don’t be too angry, Your Highness.”
“marquis. Aren’t you even angry?”
The King looked at the Marquis Merverde with a disgruntled expression.
He had been so busy recently that he had suddenly taken on an academy job, so he could hardly see his face, but today it was time to visit the royal castle.
“well. I’m not particularly upset.”
Marquis Merverde smiled.
‘Rather, I’m more curious about what changes would have happened to lower Leo.’
Originally, it was Leo who should have returned to the castle right away from the hydra’s poison, but he wandered around without a break.
And the Marquis Merverde knew.
Whenever Leo did that, there was always something great going on.
I hadn’t met Prince Leo yet because I had just entered the palace, but I was already looking forward to seeing how he would grow up.
“Eh. Tsk tsk.”
The King looked at the smiling Marquis Merverde with a disapproving face.
“Anyway, for the time being, I’m thinking of letting Leo stay at the castle.”
“Isn’t there a request from the Empire?”
“I have to decline.”
This morning, a messenger from the Julis Empire arrived.
Not too long ago, all but a minimum of troops deployed in Hydra’s docks withdrew.
I expected that there might be a conflict as the new vampire archduke was replaced, but it passed without any damage.
To commemorate that, a banquet was held at the Imperial Castle, and it was said that he wanted to invite his ally, the Kingdom of Rome.
In particular, the god of death praised Leo and said that he really wanted him to come.
– The commander-in-chief, Earl Guillotine, wants to see Lady Leo again.
– Kuhm. Right. I’ll take a look at the schedule.
When he heard those words from the god of death, King Biden had a hard time managing his expression.
He said that the happiest thing in the world was praising his children, and the corner of his mouth naturally went up.
But that’s for a while.
Thinking of Leo’s reprehensible attitude, I didn’t want to send him anywhere else.
“Huh… If lower Leo finds out, he will be disappointed.”
“Don’t tell me to be sorry! I’ve been more upset over the past few months!”
“… … .”
King Biden shouted as if he had no idea.
Seeing that, the Marquis Merverde shook her head.
It was a king who sometimes showed a really good figure.

Meanwhile at that time.
Leo was meeting Gawain, accompanied by Celise.
“How about the businesses you acquired this time?”
“Earl Darren was running a lot of crappy businesses. In particular, 3 alchemy workshops and 2 smithies have very good future potential. I think it will be a great source of funds for the guild.”
“Good.”
Leo smiled at Gawain’s words.
He took care of an aristocrat who dared to keep his eyes on Sonia, but the price was more than he thought.
Gawain’s information guild was like a hippo with money, but there were several funding lines that could be quite helpful.
“And the current situation of guild advances… .”
Gawain reported on the overall situation of the organization after that.
Leo listened to it quietly and gave little feedback.
It’s because it’s helpful enough to use the future knowledge he knows in the game to control the direction.
‘This is the insight of a 12-year-old… ?’
However, whenever Gawain heard Leo’s words, he was shocked inside.
no matter how royal
I got goosebumps at his wide field of vision that he sometimes showed.
The two talked for quite some time.
Then, by chance, Gawain spoke.
“Oh yeah. By the way, did you hear the news? An envoy from the Empire came this morning.”
“In the Empire? Why?”
“The Hydra’s monopoly situation has been resolved, so they are holding a banquet. As far as I know, the Empire is trying to invite me too… Didn’t you know?”
“… … ?”
Leo tilted his head.
Didn’t know at all
‘Why didn’t this news reach me?’
He thought about it for a moment, but Leo roughly passed his thoughts.
There must have been some misunderstanding.
‘Well, that’s good. I had to go to the Empire to see Countess Ermeri.’
This was a good opportunity.
