Episode 41.
I swung my sword at the sword castle, but it was blocked.
“What have you done?”
It was the Sword Saint who released my telekinesis with force and blocked my sword.
It was a trump card, but it was blocked too easily.
“This is the power I got by chance. It is the so-called telekinesis.”
“Hoho…”
The Sword Saint looked at me with interest.
The gaze of the swordsman was strong enough to be burdensome.
“I never thought you would have this kind of power.”
Seeing what the Sword Master was saying, he was talking as if he had seen this kind of power before.
I asked just in case.
“Have you seen anyone other than me with this kind of power?”
If you have the same power as the owner of the exorcist sword, you must be a descendant of nobles.
Because this special power was given to nobles.
“Isn’t there a lot of them? There are also street performances.”
It’s a different power than street performances. Street performers have tricks, but this one isn’t there.
“There is no such trick as street performance in my ability!”
I used my telekinesis to pick up a stone. A stone that floated in the air and landed in my hand.
I looked at the Sword Saint and put on a triumphant expression.
However, the swordsman’s thoughts did not change.
“I don’t know, but there are many people who don’t cheat in street performances.”
“yes···?”
The street performers I know do things that are like enduring pain or even torture. And there were also people who breathed fire.
“I tried to uncover their secrets, but I couldn’t. They all had unusual powers. As you.”
“Like me…”
“Skin hard as steel, breathing fire, or creating ice in the air. And that, unlike magic, without using mana.”
same as me.
“They said that using their abilities gives them headaches.”
“What is the name of that street troupe?”
“I heard it was Noblesse.”
Somehow I’m interested. If the Sword Saint’s words were true, they were definitely people like me.
Or maybe they were born with abilities unlike me.
“Can I find out where they are performing?”
“I do not know.”
Geomseong said that the Noblesse troupe had disappeared without any rumors since one day ten years ago.
I was thinking of telling you about the owner of the exorcism sword, how to transfer this ability to others, and what the owner of the exorcism sword said about the demons.
“That’s too bad···.”
“Anyway, you’re sober to think you had that ability.”
“I was also very embarrassed because it was a skill I had recently acquired.”
I don’t really train for this ability.
At best, it was just pulling something that was out of reach when I didn’t want to move normally.
“I can’t tell you what, but that ability will be of great help to you.”
“Sword Saint-nim just let it go.”
“I was embarrassed for a moment.”
What can I do with a little panic?
“If you get the timing just right, even for that brief moment, you can seriously injure your opponent.”
Although it is.
It won’t be easy. The more I put strength into my telekinesis, the more my head hurts, so it’s not easy to concentrate.
“So, keep working hard.”
“yes!”
Fortunately, the sparring with me ended with this.

Now is the time to show Patrick the hard work of the swordsman’s training.
***
In the distance, I saw Patrick return. The swordsman was in a training outfit.
I looked at Patrick quietly. It was dark, but I could see Patrick’s face properly.
“Hey, Master? Does training start right away?”
“Yes!”
The Sword Master answered, not me.
“Master’s voice…is it a bit strange?”
“It’s because I caught a cold.”
“Is that so… the person who was healthy until morning.”
If he said any more, he might get his identity revealed, so he asked the swordsman to start training right away.
The swordsman nodded and moved his body.
‘He looks like an assassin, not a swordsman.’
In an instant, I also lost sight of the Sword Saint.
What is certain is that the swordsman is going to attack Patrick, so you can just focus on him.
“…”
Patrick looked around, concentrating. Then, a black shadow appeared from behind Patrick.
it’s a sword
right!
The sound of the head colliding with the wooden sword was so clear and cheerful.
“As expected, Sword Saint-nim’s clubbing. No, sword quality is different from the sound.”
I want to master that skill someday.
A pain that feels like a bone aches if you get hit sincerely. In my opinion, it was clear that most of them would not be able to do it except for the Sword Saint.
“Ugh… Master… Today…”
Patrick covered his head in pain.
I wanted to shout out to Patrick. If he covered his head like that, there would be a series of follow-up hits.
And like I said, the swordsman struck Patrick with a follow-up.
‘Roll on the ground and avoid it. Then at least it won’t be right.’
Patrick began to roll on the ground as if my advice had reached his heart.
However, old memories suddenly came to mind. Roll and hit, roll and hit.
‘Don’t roll!’
That was bad advice.
After Patrick rolls, the Sword Saint hits his head, and after Patrick rolls again, he gets hit in the head.
It’s what I’ve been through before. At first glance, the swordsman’s expression caught my eye.
The expression of the swordsman looking happy. Was it like that for me too?
Before long, the exhausted Patrick passed out.
“Sword Saint… You look very happy.”
The Sword Master, who had been smiling until just now, became serious.
“What, who enjoys beating people?”
“Is that so?”
I looked at the lying Patrick. I planned it, but it was so evil.
Besides, I felt like I was being assaulted.
“It might have helped Patrick, though.”
Being trained by a sword master is not an easy task.
Sparring with those who can’t bridge the gap will help enough.
“Anyway, I moved around a bit and I’m hungry.”
“If that’s the case, my disciple over there is very good at cooking.”
“Then wake me up immediately.”
I forced Patrick to wake up.
Patrick woke up and frowned. Maybe it’s because of the pain coming from the hit.
“Uh… Master, something a little…”
“I didn’t do it.”
“yes?”
I pointed to the sword castle.
“Keron Sarkid, the swordsman of the Roto kingdom. He is the one who taught me at the academy.”
“A swordsman…?”
Patrick couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
“If it’s the Sword Saint I know…”
“He is the Sword Master.”
Patrick made a thrilled expression.
For some reason, unlike when I became a teacher, I was a bit grumpy.
Patrick approached the Sword Saint and bowed his head.
“Thank you very much!”
“done. If you are a disciple’s disciple, you can only teach them.”
Those words sound like the Sword Master gave me a lesson.
Of course, I was taught, but I remember that I was almost beaten.
that disgusting attitude. The anger at the academy came to mind.
“I’m hungry. I heard you’re good at cooking?”
“Yes, I will prepare right now.”
The moment Patrick opened the door and entered the house, there was a guy coming out opposite to Petri.
It was Har.
“ah! Haruya, I forgot you.”
left it at home Haru continues to sigh as if he is very angry.
I approached Har.
“Sorry.”
I forcibly held the struggling Har in my arms.
The swordsman approached me.
“You’ve brought in a pretty decent guy as your disciple.”
“Yes, it is. I am good at cooking.”
Since Patrick became a disciple, he has been eating well.
“Don’t do that. That guy is quite talented.”
I agree with the words of the swordsman. I have no doubt that Patrick’s talent will suffice for him to rise to the level of a sword master.
However, the talent the swordsman was talking about was slightly different from the talent I was talking about.
“You were a nice guy too, but that guy is exceptional.”
I had never felt that Patrick’s senses were better than mine.
“is that so?”
“That guy must have been hunting monsters since he was little.”
“Perhaps?”
He must have fought monsters while following a man named Aud.
“Maybe that’s why my senses have developed a lot. I don’t know if he had talent in the first place, but if his senses were developed to that extent, it could be considered a talent.”
“Uh… then…”
“It would be much more helpful to have you sparring than late night training.”
I don’t want to end it already.
And you couldn’t even react to my attack.
“But Patrick is trained by me and has never stopped my attacks.”
The swordsman sighed. The eyes looking at me were as if they were pathetic.
“Yeah, it must be because you can’t live properly. your boy is so gentle That’s why I can’t even contain the sticky life.”
“…”
“That guy simply couldn’t block my attack due to the difference in level, he must have noticed it long ago. I won’t say anything.”
Since the Sword Master said that much, this training wouldn’t be helpful anymore.
Anyway, after the Sword Saint came to visit me, it seemed that only bad things could happen.
He had to relieve stress, no, finish Patrick’s training, and the Sword Master drank alcohol that he had to sell later.
“Now that you have said that, we must move on to the next training session. Anyway, what should I do next training?”
“Isn’t there something good for you?”
What do you mean good for me?
“Use that power to train your pupils while training yourself.”
“yes···?”
“Attack Patrick using telekinesis.”
The new training method the swordsman taught me was a way for Patrick and I to grow at the same time.
“By the way, shouldn’t training such as growing persimmons be over?”
“As you recognize the sword with life, now it is your turn to recognize the sword without life.”
Patrick was told to close his eyes and block the sword with only his presence.
I told him to find such an opening in Patrick and use his telekinesis to pierce the sword.
“It’s a good way.”
Kill two birds with one stone. It was a word used at a time like this.
To be honest, I’m looking forward to it a bit. To use this telekinesis as if it were the original owner.
I sat by the shore for a while and talked to the swordsman. Mainly asked about the current situation of the Caldert family.
“Since the four of you ran away, the succession plan is gradually being finalized.”
“is that so···.”
It seems that the purpose of the runaway is being carried out.
“That is very fortunate.”
“Maybe it will take another year or so. By that time, the successor will be decided. Even the vassals will accept it.”
“By the way, I’m going back later.”
“Why?”
The first purpose of running away was because I did not want to change the current succession structure.
But let’s not forget the second purpose either.
“Thinking about the future, I’m trying to find out what I want to do.”
If possible, I want to continue resting.
But that’s practically impossible no matter how much money you make.
In my personal opinion, I want to find something to do even from time to time. Of course, it wasn’t a mercenary job.
It’s more like a hobby than a job.
“Well, unless I’m inheriting the county, I’ll have to find my own way. You seem to be making quite a bit of alcohol, so why not try being a brewer?”
The eyes of the swordsman who gave me advice were filled with black heart. It was too obvious what the intention was.
“hahahaha, I’m not going to do it because I think I’ll have to devote all my alcohol to the swordsman if I become a winemaker.”
“Eh, tsk. A boring guy.”
While laughing openly, I heard Patrick’s cry.
The news that the meal is complete. Swordsman and I went home.
