6. Please Live Quietly (4)

-Quiet Siu: Unus. This is the first person to visit Nsis. He returned with only brief advice from Hastina. He seems unlikely to be in much trouble.
-Quiet Siwoo: Ensys’ ten most notable habits. First. When I drink tea, I always…
-Jo Yong Si-woo: Duo. He is the second person to visit Nsis. Since I haven’t been able to play Ensis properly yet, Hastina responded. She sparred with Hastina and went. I don’t know if I would have been satisfied.
-Jo Yong Si-woo: (Video)
-Joyongsiu: The unique posture and gait of the Anima family. To reproduce Ensis, you must follow it perfectly.
-Jo Yong Si-woo: Spear. He is the third person to visit Nsis. For the first time, I stepped forward and dealt with him. I made a few mistakes along the way, but I don’t think I noticed. He is not from a prestigious family. There is little chance of it being a problem. What I need to fix in my behavior today is…

-Counseling Siwoo: I have free time now.
-Counseling Siwoo: If there is anyone who would like to receive counseling, please tell me.
-Jo Yong Si-woo: I have something I want to get advice on.
-Counseling Siwoo: Because of NSIS?
-Jo Yong-si-woo: Oh, right.
-Jo Yong Si-woo: I feel like I’m going crazy trying to play Nsis all day long.
-Jo Yong Si-woo: I feel like I’m disappearing and becoming a machine.
-Jo Yong Si-woo: How can we solve this? It’s awkward for me to even speak casually right now
-Counseling Siwoo: In that case, consciously try to act differently from Nsis, even in a house where no one is present.
-Counseling Siwoo: Acting itself puts tension on the mind, but if you continue to be tense for that long, you may develop obsession or paranoia later on.
-Jo Yong Si-woo: I understand… I’ll try that first

-Jo Yong Si-woo: Flower. He is the 1753rd person to visit Nsis. He was someone who had visited me a few times in the past, and he brought a flower pot as a repayment. I’m glad you seem to be doing well. I don’t think my poor advice was a problem.
-Joyongsiu: Angcora. He is the 1754th person to visit Ensis. He shared his experience of how he achieved expert enlightenment and provided some guidance on how to become a master. He tried his best to keep the texture of Ensis from getting on, but he couldn’t rest assured. Since I am not Ensis, I have to be more careful and cautious.

In front of a mansion located in the capital of a certain kingdom.
The blond man picked up a handful of papers that were tightly packed in the mailbox. It was all a letter from her man.
The letters were clichéd, as if they were tailored to a standard. ‘Dear Respected Spear… The demands begin with a boring introduction that starts with ‘.’ And end with the statement that they want to be taught in exchange for compensation. All of these were letters the man received after he reached the level of Lance Expert.
Even though this is only the beginning of Expert level, how many requests are the Masters experiencing? Her man felt that he had new respect for Siwoo, who had helped him so much three years ago.
She was able to reach expert level on her own thanks to her experience at that time. A time when I was wandering without even being able to tell what was right and what was wrong.How helpful the little hint Woo left was.
Spear, reminded of what she felt at that time, opened her letters one by one. I’m not just a person who has a vague fantasy about becoming an expert and thinks that if I get taught by an expert, I’ll definitely rise to the level, but I wonder if there’s someone who really experiences difficulties like my past self.
But there was no such person. Everyone was fascinated by the expert’s reputation and wanted to be taught, but there was no one who was truly blocked and frustrated.
Well, if you’re stuck on a wall, you’re probably close to expert level among lance users, but I wouldn’t bother looking for lance expert. At best, it’s just a step difference.
Spear eventually became so discouraged that he threw all the letters into the fireplace. The smell of burning ink danced in the smoke, mingling with the smell of firewood.
At that time, I thought that today would end without much incident.
For some reason, a comfortable yet catchy bell rang outside the door.
“A letter has arrived!”
“Ha, another letter…”
Spear sighed and opened the door. It was obvious that it was an ordinary letter, so I was planning to quickly receive it and throw it into the fireplace.
But the person waiting for him was no ordinary postman. A black uniform worn all over the body. A winged staff cross-stitched on the chest and two snake figures coiling around it.
They were Perlator, people who would chase goods to the end of the continent and deliver them to the recipient.
Spear recognized him at a glance and had a hunch that the black letter he was holding was not something out of the ordinary. Because Perlator was a global organization that could not be used by anyone.
And that intuition was proven by the beautiful gold writing on the letter.
Ensis Anima
Before even thinking about the meaning of the name, Spear’s hand was holding the letter as if possessed.

Inside the training center, where the dust is slowly settling. Ankora was sitting in the middle meditating quietly.
Her mind was filled with Siwoo’s advice she heard a week ago. Even though a considerable amount of time had passed, the words seemed to ring vividly in my ears, as if I had just heard them.
Each piece of his advice was so valuable that it could be exchanged for the entire royal treasury. The advice appropriate to her situation and concerns was so easy and detailed, as if it had been broken down so that even the average person could understand. However, it did not hinder enlightenment, so I was not overly immersed in the language.
These words are like a work of art that ties together the metaphysical and the metaphysical.
In fact, thanks to Siu’s advice, Ankora was able to completely recover from the Sword Expert’s enlightenment. Although she had only just taken her first step as an expert, it was very fast considering that many people take more than a year to take this step.
In order to accelerate it further, Ankora reproduced every word Siwoo said without exception. She tried to find the hidden tasks in those words, and she pondered and pondered them intensely.
So, after five hours in her inner world, Angkora took a deep breath and stood up.
A bell rang far outside the front door.
“A letter has arrived!”
“… Letter?”
Ancora ‘hasn’t even announced that it is an expert yet’“Did you see it?” He muttered, running to the front door in one leap and opening it.
In front of her, a man in a black uniform stood.
Ankora, who was looking at the man curiously, smiled brightly when she saw the name written on the letter the man handed her.
Sending it in the name of ‘Ensis’ rather than Siu meant that the ‘Sword Master’ needed him.

Siwoo’s mansion, which was always quiet and quiet, was crowded with numerous guests. All of them were people who received help from Siwoo.
Not everyone who received the letter attended. Some people sensed danger when the Sword Master called, some had unavoidable circumstances, and some respected Ensis but did not bother to visit him.
Nevertheless, the number of people who came was close to a thousand. It’s a shame that Si-woo doesn’t tend the garden, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to accommodate so many people.
Their average level was even at the border between users and experts, so the people gathered here alone were on the verge of surpassing the power of the Anima family.
Since the reputation of each guest was considerable, an atmosphere similar to a banquet or party was quickly created. They exchanged opinions with each other and discussed what Ensis’ purpose might be.
There were also several kingdom intelligence agents near the mansion, perhaps for the purpose of monitoring such a large gathering. Although the atmosphere in the mansion was lively and joyful, from a political perspective, it was a close call.

It had to be that way. It was a situation where a military group that surpassed even the most prestigious family in the kingdom had gathered in one place.
However, there was no action they could take right away. Among the people gathered, there were many people from other countries, and since most of them held important positions in other countries, a diplomatic dispute could have arisen if they made a mistake.
While the onlookers were confused and just watching the situation, the late guests also entered Siwoo’s mansion one by one. It was almost 5pm, the time Siwoo originally called.
It was around that time that Siwoo, who had been watching the situation in the reception room, finished preparing to appear in front of his guests.
“Hastina. How is it? “Is there anything else I’m lacking?”
“No. I don’t think there is one. … Mr. Siwoo.”
“Okay, that’s enough… Uh?”
Si-woo, who was about to leave, felt something strange and looked behind him. Because Hastina called his name for the first time.
Hastina avoided Siu’s gaze with her embarrassed face.
“Just seeing people like this… “I thought Siwoo did a lot of work too.”
Hastina did not think Siwoo’s good deeds were special. He thought that this was what Ensis was doing anyway, and that Siwoo was just replacing him.
Another problem was that Siwoo lacked a lot of skill compared to Ensis. Even as I watched Siwoo helping people, I thought to myself, ‘If it had been Nsis, I would have done better,’ so Siwoo’s good deeds seemed insignificant.
But seeing Si-woo remember the names of all the people he helped, and seeing the people who received Si-woo’s grace rally together in this moment.
Hastina realized one thing she did.
Even if it is said that it is a good deed done with Ensis’s body, imitating Ensis, borrowing Ensis’ honor, and using Ensis’ words and treasures.
In the end, the good deedThat this is what ‘Siwoo’ did.
And that realization made Hastina reflect on herself.
She was afraid that when Ensis returned, she would end up calling him Siu, but she thought nothing of calling Siu Ensis.
“I’m sorry for calling you Ensis all this time. Mr. Siwoo.”
Hastina clasped her hands together and bowed her head deeply. His attitude was quite polite, but it was not as extreme as when he was dealing with Ensis.
However, it was rather evidence that Hastina was looking at ‘Siwoo’ correctly.
Siwoo, who roughly understood the situation, smiled softly.
“Okay. You could just call my name right now. “Thank you for your help so far, and let’s do better in the future.”
Siwoo stroked Hastina’s water-colored hair a few times. Hastina’s cheeks flushed slightly at the touch.
Whether it was just shame, Hastina herself did not know.
“Then let’s go. “To end this situation as quietly as possible.”
Siwoo opened the door and climbed onto the podium prepared in advance.
The attention of the guests who sensed his presence immediately focused on Siwoo.
Since most of those gathered had hearing that was far beyond that of a human, Siwoo opened his mouth with ease.
“Hello. Today, I stand here as Ensis. The reason we have gathered you all here is… “
And in that casual tone.
He dropped a bomb that would turn the kingdom upside down.
“Because the kingdom is trying to purge me and the Anima family.”
The audience froze at the shocking words. The furrows of the shadows spying from afar in the mansion became palpable.
And not long after, the crowd shook with anger and murderous intent, as if to fill the silence of the moment several times over.
In that noisy scene, Siwoo smiled with satisfaction.
Hastina, who was watching from behind her, touched her forehead and muttered, wondering if that was the behavior of someone who wanted to live quietly.
