Episode 111.
He raised his sword and threw all of his energy upward.
The energy slowly disappeared as it rose to the sky.
I looked at the sword castle.
It was a slightly fuzzy look.
“Would you like more?”
I thought about hitting the back of the head once, but no matter how much I thought about it, it was a handshake.
How could he hit his teacher in the back while many people were watching?
‘If there’s a sparring later, I’ll aim for that time.’
So I thought.
The Sword Master shook his head with a gloomy expression.
“No… it’s done…”
I looked at the audience.
Everyone was bewildered by what I had done.

No matter who looked at it, it overpowered the Sword Saint.
In addition, the energy lightly spilled enough to know that it was the swordsman’s greatest attack.
I would be the only person anywhere on the continent who could do something like this.
From nob le mt l. co m
No, there will be only Veles and me.
The dumbfounded king came to his senses and said.
“It’s a disciple’s victory…”
He seemed quite perplexed.
“I will declare it here. Suhar Caldert appoints you as the second swordsman of the Loto Kingdom!”
what?
the second swordsman?
I was embarrassed and opened my mouth.
“There is already a Sword Castle in Roto Kingdom, but a second sword castle!”
Wasn’t there only one sword star in the kingdom?
“Any country can have an infinite number of Sword Saints. It’s just that talent doesn’t come out.”
It seems I was misinformed.
I thought that only the empire could have multiple sword stars.
But it seemed it wasn’t.
In fact, it was an illusion caused by the fact that there had never been two Sword Saints throughout the kingdom’s history.
I humbly decided to accept it.
‘Because it would be difficult if the Sword Saint-sama ceased to be the Sword Saint-sama just in case because of me…’
Anyway, being a swordsman was an honorary title, so it didn’t matter.
It doesn’t have to be tied.
‘Because I’m going to live a leisurely life.’
Everyone present cheered at the king’s declaration.
A second swordsman was born in Roto Kingdom.
“And Suhar Caldert, come find me separately! Promises must be kept.”
And everyone left.
As I scanned the stands, Dave caught my eye.
He seemed quite surprised.
I spoke to Dave hyung in a mouthful.
‘I never lied. Did you see it?’
But Dave hyung was lost and my words didn’t reach him.
Well, it didn’t matter.
I approached the seated swordsman.
“This is more than a sword master.”
“It’s amazing… that’s great… is there any other name for that realm?”
“It is called the state of the half-god.”
The swordsman’s expression looked complicated.
“The state of half-body… perhaps I can’t reach that state….”
The Sword Saint is also old.
Moreover, the Sword Master saw the end of the Sword Master.
But even though I saw the end, I didn’t think that there would be a stage beyond that.
It was because the wall to the level of half-body was high.
It was a state of half-body that was so high that it was inevitable to feel like a state that did not exist.
“it’s possible.”
“It’s possible… you mean I can reach the level of being a half-body?”
If the direction is right, it is possible enough.
You just have to accept the two spirits.
However, the power of nature is impossible alone.
However, it does not mean that the Sword Master has a special ability, that is, natural power.
So, there are two possible ways.
“I ask you one thing. Do you believe in God?”
I didn’t want to tell her that it was possible if she accepted Magi.
Wouldn’t it be a shame if you can’t stand in the sun even if you get strong power?
So, the only way I could suggest was to accept the divine power.
“Why are you suddenly asking me if I believe in God? Was that power given by God?”
“No, it’s the strength I gained through hard training.”
To be honest, it probably wasn’t without God’s help at all.
It was because I had grown up through the trials of the sanctuary and had grown in my understanding of the sword.
But this was more my influence than God’s.
In the end, it was I who had the ordeal.
“Then why are you suddenly asking if I believe in God?”
“The half-body state is a state that can only be reached by possessing two types of energy.”
“Two kinds of energy?”
In my case, there were three energies.
“It means that you have to accept one of magic and divine power.”
“…”
“But if you reach the level of a demigod with Magi, you won’t be able to stand in the sun. That’s why the only way to do it is by divine power.”
The swordsman was quietly listening to my words.
“But divine power is the power that comes out when you believe in God anyway, so I asked.”
I also tried to use the divine power several times, but it was impossible.
Maybe it was because I didn’t believe in God.
‘Because believing in God and believing in God are two different things.’
I didn’t believe in God because I hated the life of relying on God.
Even if God exists.
The Sword Master fell into trouble.
“Hmm…”
“…”
I quietly waited for the Sword Master’s answer.
“I will have to be satisfied with this. I don’t like having to borrow someone else’s hand to reach an absolute level.”
“Well, you should spend the rest of the day with your granddaughter. It would be better than neglecting training for nothing.”
In an instant, the swordsman’s fist swung aiming at the back of my head.
But I easily dodged it.
The Sword Master, who only passed the air, scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.
And right away he was angry with me.
“Yeah, the rest of the day. To those who still have a bright future.”
“Yeah, sorry.”
I raised the Sword Saint and stood him up.
“Come on, let’s go back.”
“Chuck, now I can only feel the back of your head far away.”
“You’ll have a sparring with me later.”
“It’s okay.
uh?
It shouldn’t be like this.
I still haven’t hit the back of the head with the Sword Saint.
“Ah, you have to fight with me to improve your skills.”
“Okay, I have nothing more to grow.”
“You must grow for the kingdom of Loto! Shouldn’t another country invade, shouldn’t the Sword Saint come out!”
I made a vociferous speech for future sparring, but the Sword Master ignored all of my vociferous speech.
“Do I have to? Now I don’t have to fight even with you.”
I had no choice but to give up at the words of the Sword Master who were so firm.
‘I’d just hit it without paying attention to the crowd’s eyes…’
From nob le mt l. co m
No matter how much I grudge against the back of the sword saint’s head, I couldn’t hit it without any reason.
The only opportunity to strike was sparring.
However, the swordsman declared that he would not engage in sparring with me.
‘Goodbye… my grudge…’
I had no choice but to let go of the accumulated resentment neatly.
***
In the audience room, there was the king, his escorts, and, for some reason, Princess Letia II.
“Looked good. To say that the swordsman is so easily defeated, it must be true that he is at a level higher than that of a sword master.”
“Everything I said is true.”
“Yes, I will believe you.”
finally proved
“Then send me an army!”
“That is a different story.”
what?
“What is it?”
“In case of victory in this Dalian, I only said that I would trust you, Suhar, but I never said that I would give up my troops.”
Come to think of it···
Well, it didn’t matter.
I had already guessed to say this.
Its original purpose was one.
“I request a royal trial.”
It could be achieved by obtaining soldiers through trials in the royal family.
“Ohhh… you seem still young, but you know the trials of the royal family.”
In fact, I didn’t know for a long time even before the regression.
It was only later that I learned that I was a royal ordeal.
That’s because the royal family’s ordeal didn’t happen.
“Okay, I’ll give you the royal ordeal.”
“Thank you.”
I looked forward and thought what a royal ordeal would be.
‘Since there is no fixed trial in the royal family… I’ll choose the one that looks as difficult as possible after seeing my skills.’
The king thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“Do you know the existence of a dragon?”
“Uh… I know.”
In fact, I’ve tried it too.
But what about the dragon?
As far as I remember, there were no dragons in this era.
He had never seen a dragon even in his life before returning.
All there is is gear made of dragons, and dragons…
‘wait for a sec! Come to think of it,,,’
said the king.
“Have you heard of the recent discovery of a place believed to be a rare dragon?”
Dragon Rare!
The dragon’s home and treasure house was called the dragon’s rare.
Come to think of it, even before returning, dragon rares had been discovered on the outskirts of Roto Kingdom.
Of course, only insignificant items were found, so I didn’t pay much attention.
“I am hearing this for the first time.”
“The ordeal for you is to find the dragon rare.”
Apparently, the exact location has not yet been found.
“Then, I’ll be right there.”
“for a moment!”
what?
The royal family’s ordeal was usually one.
It was normal that he had nothing more to say to me.
“There is only one condition.”
Oh, I thought it was so easy, but it seems it wasn’t.
“Take my daughter Letia!”
uh···?
“What is that…”
“My daughter wants to see the world, but it’s dangerous, so I have to give her permission.”
If so, you can do it with an escort.
Why do you have to get involved in my ordeal?
“But just in time, the second Sword Saint of our Loto Kingdom is going on a trip to undergo a trial.”
“An ordeal is not a journey…”
The king cut me off and continued talking.
“So I decided to accompany my daughter through the ordeal. Well, if you say no, I will have no choice but to pretend there was no trial.”
king, sorry
To be honest, I know the king’s purpose.
I’m young, and I’m strong enough to beat the swordsman.
Can such a talented person be left alone?
He would want to somehow make it on the side of the royal family.
‘Looks like he’s trying to marry Princess Letia 2.’
Princess Letia 2’s beauty was famous even within the kingdom.
It was even nicknamed the royal flower.
But that has nothing to do with me.
I’ve already made up my mind
That’s why it didn’t matter if I accompanied them.
‘Because my heart won’t change.’
I nodded and accepted the king’s terms.
“All right.”
“Kuhm, I’m just worried.”
From nob le mt l. co m
No, what else are you worried about?
“Because my daughter is so pretty.”
I forced a smile and agreed with the king’s words.
“It certainly is. So, by the way, to accompany you to the ordeal is… a bit,”
However, the king was a king who only continued his own words, apparently not paying attention to my words.
“I’m afraid my daughter won’t be able to achieve premarital virginity.”
It was no different from saying that I was going to touch the princess after all.
“You don’t have to worry.”
“Hmm… are you worried… that’s right! Then it will be fine.”
If I were to propose an engagement here, I would reject it at once.
“If my daughter is not allowed to have premarital virginity, you will be responsible for it.”
“yes···? Ah, yes, I see.”
Doesn’t that mean that you can resist temptation in the end?
To be honest, no matter how beautiful Princess Letia 2 was, it was the same as Ephinia.
Even when I went on a trip with Ephinia, nothing happened.
Well, no need to worry.
“Then, I will believe you. Son-in-law… No, Suhar. Honeymoon… No, I will call the ordeal as soon as it is ready.”
I keep hearing strange words, but I decided to pretend I didn’t hear.
I couldn’t bear to catch the pod from the king.
And in a moment I saw
That Letia gave me a sticky look.
‘This ordeal… must be quite a headache…’
