Episode 40.
I smiled shyly.
“Sword Saint… long time no see!”
“That’s right, it’s already been quite a while since you left just one letter.”
Apparently, my ominous premonition seemed to be referring to the Sword Saint.
The Sword Saint looked clearly angry.
“Ah, another present for the Sword Saint…”
“A gift…?”
There is still a long way to go before the snake liquor made with the Ancient Snake can be completed.
“Ah… that… I… the present isn’t ready yet.”
“Oh, did you think you could ward off my anger with a present?”
“Oh no! Absolutely not. But now the academy is on sabbatical…”
Obviously not. I remember that it was still there.
“I finished all the lectures early and came to find you. It looks like he changed his name.”
“Yes, I briefly changed it to Hans Rike.”
“But you are so bold that you do not change the color of your hair and do not cover your face. Did you really want to find out?”
I just didn’t think it would come this far.
“no. No, actually, I had a heart that I wanted Sword Saint-nim to come to me.”
“You speak well. Anyway, you’ve improved quite a bit. Block my attack.”
I couldn’t block it properly and it bounced off…
“You don’t have to look at me now.”
Ah, so this was the purpose. It seems that he intends to take care of it properly with the excuse that his skills have improved.
“wait a minute!”
“Oh, did you mean to leave a will?”
What do you mean, did you come here with the intention of killing me? It’s a joke, but it’s not like a joke.
have to somehow get over it
“Do you know snake liquor made from ancient snakes?”
The swordsman’s eyebrows rose. The response was clear.
“…”
“I was lucky enough to catch an Ancient Snake recently.”
“Hoho…”
The swordsman’s expression gradually brightened.
“So I’m making sake, but it still takes time to complete. Originally, it was planned to be brought to you as soon as it was completed as a gift from the Sword Master.”
“Not bad.”
Contrary to his disinterested tone of voice, the expression of the swordsman suddenly brightened. He nodded as if satisfied.
“Whew…”
The crisis seemed over.
“Anyway, my skills have improved quite a bit, so I should try sparring with me. I will teach you personally.”
It seemed that even an expensive gift could not be finished without being hit.
I had no choice but to quietly agree with the Sword Master’s words.
“thank you.”
‘Please finish without hurting me.’
As I said, the gap between sword master and sword expert is huge.
It seemed like all I could do was end it as painlessly as possible.
Even so, I give you presents, but I have no doubt that you won’t hit me that painfully.
‘But every time I believed in him, he would betray my belief.’
I had an ominous thought for no reason, but I shook it off and told the Sword Saint.
“Let’s go to where you live.”
“Oh, I have something to do at City Hall for a while.”
“What are you going to do?”
Har is sleeping soundly in my arms. Haru looked so calm that he couldn’t believe that the situation had been tense until just now.
“It’s because of this guy.”
I grabbed Haru by the neck and showed it to the Sword Saint.
The swordsman looked at Haru and thought deeply.
“Yes, I asked where I saw it, and it turned out to be a silver wolf cub.”
“Yes, that’s right. So, we need to keep up to date with City Hall.”
“Hmph, it’s so nice to have a pet.”
First of all, after I went to City Hall with the Sword Master, I informed them of Haru’s current situation.
Fortunately, Haru said that he was growing properly.

Now it was necessary to return to the sword castle and home.
“for a moment.”
The swordsman stopped for a moment. I had no way of knowing why.
“What are you doing?”
“Do you have any antidote at home?”
“uh···.”
I don’t have a lot, but I’m sure there will be a small amount.
“There are a few.”
“Hmm… that’s not enough. Buy lots of antidote.”
It’s a sudden detoxification plant.
Could it be that the Sword Master is thinking of poisoning me?
From nob le mt l. co m
No, if I had intended to poison myself, I certainly would not have bought an antidote.
Why the hell would you buy an antidote?
“You will know when you see it.”
The swordsman, noticing my question, didn’t say anything.
Following the words of the Sword Master, I headed home after climbing to the antidote plant.
Upon arriving at the house, Geomseong started to smell it as soon as he opened the door.
“Sword Saint…?”
“Wait!”
The place where the swordsman arrived with his eyes closed was the wine cellar.
I was amazed by the swordsman’s sense of smell.
“How did you know just by smell? Besides, this is in the basement, and I would have sealed the alcohol.”
“You will know when you become a lover. Let’s taste it first…”
From nob le mt l. co m
Now I wonder if I heard it wrong.
“Sword Saint, what did you just say?”
“I said I would like to taste it. Why don’t you like it?”
“It’s not that I hate it…”
If you drink the poison, you will die.
Ah, now that I think about it, the reason I bought the detoxification plant is…
“I have a lot of land, and even if there is poison, it is enough to eat one antidote.”
“…”
After all, do you think sword masters have surpassed humans?
Ancient Snake’s venom can be detoxified with just one antidote.
It’s ridiculous.
“Let’s see…”
The swordsman opened the lid of the keg and scooped it up with his hand.
It made me think that he was a dwarf who likes to drink from a fairy tale.
The Sword Master spoke as he chewed on the antidote.
“Kyaha, you dipped it very well! Suhar, I never thought you would have such a talent.”
“Ahahahahaha… I changed my name, so please call me Hans.”
“Eh, tsk tsk. How can you give up the name your parents gave you? I will call you Suhar.”
To be honest, it doesn’t matter. There was no one around, and Patrick, who had gone out for a while, also informed me that I was using an alias.
“Sword Saint-nim… by any chance…!”
I had an interesting thought.
First of all, I brought up the story, thinking that the sword saint would get angry.
“Actually, I accepted the disciple.”
“Oh, actually, Suhar’s skills have improved considerably, so it’s worth taking in a disciple.”
“But there is one thing I am teaching my disciple right now.”
The sword training method.
When I said that the training was in progress, the Sword Saint laughed evilly. I laughed along too.
“That’s right. Apparently, what if I teach your pupil a move?”
“you’re right!”
To be honest, it would be more helpful for Patrick if the sword master, the Sword Master, did it rather than me.
Of course, the swordsman’s training intensity was higher than mine.
“Well, it doesn’t matter. Because I was very bored looking for you.”
In the meantime, a question arose.
“But how did Sword Saint find me right away?”
It’s a long distance away, so I didn’t bother to change my appearance.
Even so, it found me too soon.
“Have you forgotten what kind of family is my family?”
I forgot.
“Aren’t you from the Sarkid duchy?”
“Yes, the Duke of Sarkid. The important thing here is the artist. The Duke’s family has a lot of money, a large territory, and power. If you use this power, you can give the intelligence community some trouble.”
It was said that he used his power enough to find me.
I thought that I should do well with Geomseong from now on. If it looks wrong…
‘I don’t even want to imagine.’
“By the way, Sword Saint…”
“Why are you calling me again?”
Because there is no choice but to call.
Geomseong continued to drink, probably thinking of drinking all of it.
“Now stop drinking…”
“Eh, is the alcohol you give me so wasteful?”
“no. But if you’re going to drink, you’ll need well-dipped wine.”
“Um… yes, I got it.”
thank god. It seems he won’t drink all of it.
furthermore···.
“Shouldn’t Sword Saint show a move to my disciple? Being intoxicated can lead to serious problems.”
If the swordsman makes a mistake in controlling his powers, Patrick dies. Incidents like that shouldn’t happen.
“Okay. You can get some mana and sober up.”
I know that, but why doesn’t it turn mana?
I guess you know roughly Just looking at it, it’s clear that he wants to stay drunk.
“You really need to sober up.”
“By the way, why don’t you try sparring with me now!”
I thought I would be able to get past it, but I didn’t forget the swordsman.
“That… Sword Master is in a drunken state, wouldn’t it be a waste to break the alcohol quickly?”
It was the perfect excuse, I think.
“You don’t have to worry. Isn’t drunk enough a handicap?”
If I die because I can’t control my strength, what am I going to do?
“To be honest, I fear that I will die if the drunk Swordsman shows off his skills.”
“Isn’t it possible that I can handle it enough even if I don’t have to adjust my strength?”
That sounds wrong. What kind of sword expert can handle a sword master?
It was clear that the swordsman was drunk. I mean, you’re talking nonsense.
“Sword Saint, please have mercy…”
“Aw, that’s noisy. Do I have to return mana to get rid of drunkenness!”
“That’s what it is for me…”
“Think of the next situation where I have to return mana!”
As long as you drank a good drink and got rid of the drunken feeling, a situation to be prepared for will come.
It seemed that he had to engage in a sparring with the drunk swordsman.
I didn’t get drunk for nothing, but it seemed like it would be better than an angry swordsman.
“Come out!”
I made up my mind. I was about to leave the wine cellar, but the swordsman was still staring at the barrel.
“Think about drinking the perfect drink later!”
“Yes, it is. If the time comes and I don’t have my share of alcohol, I’d better be prepared.”
“of course! Do not worry.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Near the house, for some reason, it seemed that the sword castle would destroy the field or house, so I moved to a place a little farther away.
Additionally, the surprise event could fail if Patrick came along during the sparring.
“Now, Sword Master, I will do my best.”
“Yes, come!”
I rushed to the swordsman. I wrapped telekinesis around my body and approached at maximum speed. And immediately swung the sword.
However, the swordsman evaded my attack too lightly. I was thrown back by the counterattack of the Sword Master that immediately followed.
thud!
I hit my back against a tree.
“100 million! No, what kind of handicap is this?”
“Tsk, be quiet and come back soon!”
I pondered for a while. I don’t think I’ll be the Sword Saint’s opponent just because I use a secret technique.
But isn’t there a power that the Sword Saint doesn’t know about? telekinesis.
going to use it
‘Honestly, there’s no need to hide it from Sword Saint-nim.’
I decided to organize my thoughts and write a secret story. I gathered mana and threw it at the swordsman.
The swordsman lightly avoided my attack and approached me, raising his sword above his head.
“I’ve only risen to the top, but I haven’t progressed at all.”
The moment the swordsman was about to strike the sword, I used telekinesis.
The sword of the swordsman who was about to strike was tightly tied. My head began to ache to the point where blood came out of my eyes because of the force the swordsman was trying to strike.
Still, this was an opportunity. I swung my sword towards the sword castle full of gaps.
