The Genius at the Swordsmanship Academy chapter 113

113 Episode Southern Conquest (2)

“Damn it… … !”

Klauwice was swearing alone in the office.

It’s been a week since the all-out war with the Academy began… The Shreière family was on a losing streak.

In addition, Ernas Landsstein was wandering around the southern regions alone, ravaging the rear of the Schreier family.

“So my plan is… … !”

Originally, Klauwice had planned to unite the forces supporting the Schreiers to form a large corps.

He was planning to take over the empire with that power, but before he could properly form a legion, the entire family was being ravaged by the academy and Ernas.

While the Shreière family is suffering a lot of damage… The Ignias family is rapidly expanding its power in the east, and the Agrippa family is steadily building up its stability.

Even if they somehow defeat the Academy, will the Shreiers, who have suffered a major blow, be able to defeat the Ignias and Agrippa families?

‘We have to draw new power from somewhere.’

The first thing that came to mind was the Black Heavenly Magic Bridge.

But I quickly erased it from my mind.

Henry Lancaster tried to borrow the power of magic, but in the end the Lancaster family was destroyed.

‘The Blood Sword Elders Association alone is not enough. A power that can be pulled from somewhere else… … .’

Where should I borrow power?

Klauwice looked at the map and thought.

“Lord, are you okay for a moment?”

“What.”

Hearing the voice from outside the office, Klauwice responded with an annoyed tone.

“Lady Berrysrize has returned. I want to say hello to the owner… … .”

“Berrys Rize?”

Klauwice’s only daughter and heir to the Schreier family.

Berrys Rize, who had left the academy, had now arrived here.

“done.”

“yes?”

“There is no reason to waste time with him. If you have any information to pass on to me, ask me to submit it in writing.”

“Oh, I see.”

The last time I met Berrys Rize was about a year ago.

As the only daughter who returned home after a year, Klauwice did not feel the need to meet face to face.

For Klauwice, Verislyse was just a tool.

And now… It was a useless tool.

‘Incompetent.’

Berithrize has never defeated Ernas at the academy.

Had it been for the least amount of checks, things would not have happened this way.

‘It would have been better if I had stayed at the academy and played the role of a spy. You can’t even judge that much and come back to the South in a hurry.’

Berryslyse is useless now.

Even thinking like this was a waste of time.

‘The important thing now is where to draw new power… No, wait.’

right then

A thought flashed through Klauwice’s head.

An idea came to mind that could make good use of berryslyse.

* * *

“The Lord is busy right now, Berrys Rize.”

“Right… … .”

Berrys Rize sighed.

I wanted to say hello and talk about the current situation, but I wasn’t even allowed to see your face.

“Luclezia, how is your father now?”

“To be honest, planting a fortress is not very comfortable.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“You would be better off not seeing each other.”

Lucletia is Klauwice’s closest confidant.

Seeing her even talk like this, it would be better not to really meet her.

“I should have been of some help to my father.”

“I think Berrisrize did her best.”

“Still, because I never defeated Ernas.”

“… … .”

“Your father must have been disappointed.”

Berithrize knows how cruel his father is.

If she judges that even her own daughter is a useless person, she takes a merciless attitude.

“I will wait patiently until my father calls.”

“Berrysrize-sama, the Lord… … .”

right then

Klauwice’s cold voice was heard.

“Berrysrize, wait.”

“… … !”

Hearing his father’s voice, Berrys Rize hurriedly bowed his head.

“Ah, Father, in the meantime… … .”

“Goodbye.”

As Berrysrise cut off her words, Clause said in a calm voice.

“Berisrize, I have a mission for you.”

“… … !”

Verisrize was startled by his father’s words.

“No, leave it to me, Father. I will faithfully carry out any mission.”

“Good.”

A smile crept across Klauwice’s lips.

“Do you know the name of Salvatore Attilion?”

“of course.”

Berrys Rize nodded her head hurriedly.

“It’s a climax grade that doesn’t belong to any family.”

Speaking of the highest grades representing the South, Klauwice of the Schreier family and Brantley of the Agrippa family are considered.

However, in the South, there is one more prosecutor who has reached the peak level.

It was Salvatore Attilion.

“After graduating from the academy 60 years ago, he returned to his hometown and established his own swordsmanship dojo… A prosecutor called ‘Maestro’.”

“Yeah, my family tried many times to sign him, but in the end it failed. It is a neutral force in the South that has always kept a distance from the Agrippa family.”

The Salvatore Swordsmanship Dojo attracts many swordsmen from all over the world.

Most people go to learn swordsmanship for a short time, but there are also a lot of people who sit down and become Salvatore’s faithful subordinates.

It was not comparable to the Academy, but it had a considerable presence as an independent force.

“But last time there was an offer from Salvatore.”

“What was it?”

“Beris Rize, I had a conversation with you.”

“… … !”

Berrys Rize’s eyes widened.

“Ah, father, I heard that Salvatore is over eighty years old. Even though… … .”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Klauwice frowned.

“Your opponent is Vincentio, Salvatore’s real son and chief disciple. I saw you in a swordsmanship contest two years ago and they said they liked it.”

“Ah, if it’s Master Vincentio… … .”

Berrys Rize recalled the memory.

It reminded me of a strong, middle-aged man who was a judge who said something to him.

“Still, Master Vincentio is also over forty… … .”

“Berrysrize.”

When he expressed his displeasure with the marriage with a middle-aged man who was twice his age, Klauwice immediately hung up.

“At the time, I had put on hold for the wedding. Because I thought it was too early to decide what to do with your marriage.”

“Ah, father… … .”

“It might be better later to marry Heinrich or Rufus or Ernas.”

“yes? Ernas?!”

Hearing the unexpected words, Berrys Rize opened her eyes wide.

“Hey, you were thinking of marrying me and Ernas?”

“At the time, Ernas was engaged to Serine, but there was a possibility that the engagement would be broken because Serine hated Ernas very much. And it actually happened.”

“Oh, Dad, then… … .”

“However, since this has happened, there has been no possibility of working with Ernas and the successors of other families. You have to find another soulmate.”

“… … .”

In front of the silent Berrisrize, Clause continued to speak.

“If you become Vincentio’s wife, the Salvatore Swordsmanship Dojo becomes an ally of the Schreiers. Salvatore is at the pinnacle of grade, and Vincentio is at the level close to the pinnacle. If we get their cooperation, we can reverse the current disadvantage.”

“Father, but… … .”

“Berrysrize.”

Klauvice looked at Berrislyze with bitter eyes.

“For the sake of the family, carry out the orders.”

“… … .”

In front of her father’s absolute command, Berithrize bit her lip and had no choice but to bow her head.

* * *

three days later.

Verisrize arrived at the Salvatore Swordsmanship Dojo.

It was with Klauwice’s henchmen, including Lucletia.

“I’m glad you came this way, Miss Berryslyse.”

“Ah, yes, Master Vincentio… … .”

In front of a middle-aged man who was sitting in his seat, Berithrize was overcome with a complicated feeling.

Vincentio is a man with a strong physique and a handsome face.

But I’m over forty… The problem was that he was an opponent he was not attracted to at all for Berrys Rize.

“Now the Salvatore Swordsmanship Dojo and the Schreiers have become one, Maestro.”

Whether or not she knew the heart of such Berries Rize, Lucletia was speaking intently to the old man sitting at the top of the table.

“So, in the future… … .”

“You don’t have to fuss like that.”

A cracking voice leaked out from the old man, skinny like a branch.

“I know the current situation of the Schreier family. Klauwice also needs my help, so I’m going to re-promote the marriage talk that I ignored in the past.”

“Maestro, that’s… … .”

“done. I just wanted to fulfill the wishes of my son and chief disciple, so I have no complaints.”

Saying so, the old man got up with his cane.

“I will personally meet with Klauwice to discuss the future. The Shreière family is currently in a situation like a lantern before the wind, so it would be better to reorganize it as soon as possible.”

“Go, thank you. I’ll see you right away!”

On the surface, he looks like a dying old man.

But if that old man wants to… It would be able to annihilate everyone here at once.

Such a great swordsman was ‘Maestro’ Salvatore.

“Then, Father, I will follow.”

“done.”

“yes?”

“You don’t have to follow the crowd. You stay here with your wife.”

Salvatore said, pointing at Vincentio and Verisrize.

“It will be difficult to hold a wedding in this state of affairs, but it is possible to establish a relationship as a married couple.”

“… … !”

Understanding what he meant, Berithrize swallowed his breath.

She looked at Lucletia with a feeling of asking for help, but she only blinked as if to do what she was told.

Eventually, Lucletia left the dojo to guide Salvatore and his men… Berrys Rize was left on the dojo.

‘How did this happen… … .’

Until a few days ago, I never imagined I would be in this situation.

I was only thinking of fighting with my life for the Shreière family… You’ll find yourself suddenly in a situation where you have to sleep with a middle-aged man who is twice his age.

‘By now, Serine Bastian must be fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Academy’s leading graduates, but I… … .’

When Berrys Rize was holding back her tears, thinking of her roommate Serine.

Vincentio’s calm voice was heard.

“I’m sorry, Miss Berrysrize. My father is very stubborn.”

“Ah yes… … .”

“You must have been thinking about us in his own way, but don’t worry too much about it.”

Vincentio was looking at Berrisrize with a soft smile.

“I think Ms. Berrysrize’s heart is the most important.”

“Master Vincentio… … .”

“It starts with getting to know each other.”

Saying so, Vincentio placed his hand on Berrisrize’s shoulder.

At that moment, Berithrize felt goosebumps all over her body.

‘Ugh… … !’

I was a little distracted by Vincentio’s soft voice.

But the moment he touched his shoulder, he could feel the dark desire hidden inside of Vincentio.

‘Yeah, no matter how gentle I pretend to be… … .’

Berrysrize looked into Vincentio’s eyes.

Vincentio was smiling softly, but… A dark light was hidden deep in the eyes that looked at Berris Rize.

No matter how gentle he may be, this is a man who demands a girl less than half his age as his wife.

“First, I will guide you from the inside of the dojo.”

“oh… … .”

Vincentio grabbed Berrisrize’s shoulder and pulled him closer.

Unable to resist, being dragged along, Verisrize bit her lip.

‘After all, I… … .’

Following Serine, Ernas’s face came to mind.

The activities of Ernas that I had been watching at the academy so far were more free and subjective than anyone else.

Even now, Ernas will be moving forward without hesitation, wielding an inexorable sword.

But now, Veris Rize obeys her father’s orders, bowing her head next to a middle-aged man who is twice his age.

‘Ernas, I… … .’

remembered the past

The day when I was excited by Ernas’ interest at the first ball I participated in when I was young.

At that time, after having an affair with Ernas, I continued to be hostile to Ernas, but… Now that I think about it, it seems that in the end, he wanted to be recognized by Ernas.

In any sense, I wanted to be recognized by Ernas.

So I’ve been struggling to beat Ernas all this time, but… … .

‘Now, there will be no chance of being recognized by you again.’

Can not help it.

All humans of the Schreier family are the tools of the headmaster, Klauwice Schreier.

Berithrize has no choice but to obey her father’s orders.

With that resignation, Verisrize followed Vincentio with tears in his eyes.

But, right then.

“Master Vincentio, I think you should come out for a while.”

“What’s going on?”

“There was a person who suddenly appeared in front of the front door… … .”

One of the swordsmen at the swordsmanship said to Vincentio with a perplexed expression on his face.

“You… My name is Ernas Landsstein.”

“… … !”

The person Berrys Rize had been thinking about in her mind a while ago.

Ernas Landsstein, he is here now.
