Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 132:

When he decided to spar with Raymond, Bane took it easy.

I saw her spar with Selina and even tried to block her, so I had some idea of her skills.

At best, you’re intermediate to Sword Expert.

And that thought did not change even during sparring.

Raymond was exactly as talented as he thought.

However, it was difficult to see that he was hiding his power.

Those who hide their powers generally have some freedom.

Raymond didn’t have that.

The expression on his face when he revealed everything about himself was clearly visible.

‘Still, at this age, this is incredible.’

Raymond is now twenty years old.

Among all swordsmen, it was impossible to search the entire continent to find a sword expert in that age group.

Raymond was a truly natural genius who never existed in the past or exists in the present.

That’s how dazzling Raymond’s talent was.

‘The only thing that is disappointing is that the swordsmanship is sloppy.’

There was no heavy taste.

It was difficult for Raymond to find his own unique color.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was just imitating others.

That’s very unfortunate.

If he had discovered his swordsmanship, if it were his own and not someone else’s, he would have shown himself to be much better than he is now.

‘It’s a huge drink just now, so I won’t be able to fill up after the first drink.’

We must focus on the fact that Raymond uses sword techniques.

A symbol of sword users and the first route to becoming a sword master.

Raymond was clumsy, but he was following that path.

If I hadn’t actually seen it, I would never have believed Raymond’s rumors.

Even if it wasn’t Selina, I personally wanted to share the sword with Raymond and teach him.

It would be a great pity to let that talent go to waste.

I didn’t know something like that would come like this.

“Wow… Is that a sword?”

“If you’re seeing it too, then what I’m seeing is correct. “Wasn’t Raymond 20 years old?”

“You’re 20 years old.”

“Wow… that’s crazy. “If you’re an intermediate level at that age… isn’t it the first time?”

The whispers of knights could be heard in his ears.

Raymond’s talent was so incredible that even the knights of the famous swordsmanship were surprised.

‘But I’m still very disappointed. If I just sharpen this talent a little more…’

Even a sword master in his twenties would be capable of it.

Raymond’s talent surpassed that of Selina, whom even he admired.

‘Shall we stop now?’

I’ve seen enough of everything I need.

Now it’s time to finally finish.

“I guess I should show you at least one thing too.”

Since I only showed Raymond too much, I thought it would be okay to show him at least one thing about myself.

His sword rose high.

From top to bottom.

The basis of swordsmanship and the way knights most often swing their swords.

He made a vertical slash.

When I say simple, it was a very simple operation.

‘This is inevitable.’

It was an attack that could not be prevented unless one was the leader or vice-leader of one’s own family.

Because it contained a bit of the essence of the swordsmanship he had lived so far.

‘I guess I just have to stop at an appropriate line.’

I just wanted to show you at least once.

Because it was a path that anyone who uses a sword or follows the path of the sword must take.

I thought that if I gave them some experience in advance, they would accept it and develop further.

I never thought it could be prevented.

A sword swung like that.

“…?”

At that moment, Raymond’s mood changed.

The boiling emotions that had caused me so much excitement disappeared and I became infinitely calm.

Everything in Raymond became as quiet as water.

“…!”

And when he started moving, Bane couldn’t help but be surprised.

Although a bone in his wrist was broken, Raymond was able to deflect the attack to the side.

The power contained in the vertical cut is enough to break off a troll’s head in one fell swoop.

I never thought something like that would be let go so easily.

‘They’re even going to attack here?’

Although his fists were shaking, the attack was an attack.

He could be seen as having done enough simply by attacking rather than blocking his own attack.

Okay.

“…!”

And Bane’s pupils dilated as the sword belatedly dug into his flesh.

When the blade touched my skin, I shook my fist without realizing it.

Kwaaaaang!

Raymond flew away like a paper blowing in the wind.

He looked between his fist and blankly at Raymond.

‘Have I failed to control my strength now?’

This is my first time like this.

There has never been a time when he was unable to use his strength against someone weaker than him.

If it hadn’t been for Raymond’s surprise attack in the first place, he wouldn’t have swung his fist.

“Talent is scary.”

“Count, are you okay!”

“Blood!”

The knights came running towards him as he looked down at Raymond and smiled helplessly.

“Take care of that guy rather than me. Take him to the infirmary. “You are a precious guest, so please treat me with respect.”

“insect!”

The knights place their fists on their chests.

Raymond’s shoulders shook and he was supported by the knights.

Count Warrug’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Raymond, who was limp and heading toward the infirmary.

‘The future is going to be interesting.’

***

When I came to my senses, I saw a pure white ceiling.

“ah! “Raymond has woken up!”

“what? where are you!”

As I raised my upper body, I heard a loud noise and several people approached along with a crashing sound.

“How are you feeling?”

“Does your face or head hurt?”

“Is it true that you’ve been using a sword for less than two years?”

Two men who appeared to be therapists and three knights spoke at the same time.

Their chatter seemed to make my head hurt more than the aftereffects of sparring.

Still, since it wasn’t a bad intention, I obediently answered whatever they wanted.

“Hmm… I think my head hurts a little.”

The bridge of my nose and the back of my head still throbbed from being hit by Count Warrug.

Even after receiving treatment, the lingering effects seemed likely to linger for a long time.

“The Count left a message to come and visit Raymond when he wakes up.”

“ah. All right.”

Since lying down all the time didn’t suit my constitution and it didn’t really hurt, I got off the bed right away.

-Jiying-

My vision was shaken by the dizziness that occurred momentarily.

I must have been embarrassed because I stumbled, so the knights hurriedly came over and helped me up.

I blinked for a moment to adjust my vision and then slapped their arm.

“It’s okay now. Where is the Count waiting?”

Following the guidance of the drivers, we arrived at the reception room.

As if they knew in advance that I would come, fancy refreshments were prepared on the table.

Naturally, I took a seat in front of Count Warrug and took a sip of the tea poured by the maid.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“Thank you.”

“I’m sorry. “I didn’t mean to do that.”

“it’s okay. It wasn’t intentional. what.”

Even though I said it was okay, he looked at me and didn’t say anything for a while.

He also poured me some tea and said,

“I thought about it carefully, but I think it would be difficult to tell you my sword.”

“yes?”

What does this mean again? I was already dying from a headache, but I was embarrassed by his sudden words.

“ah. Don’t misunderstand, but listen. “It’s not because I don’t want to tell you.”

“Then what is it?”

“Because there is no point in teaching you my sword. No, it would actually be poisonous.”

I didn’t quite understand that.

Why is learning swordsmanship poisonous?

It’s hard for me to say this, but I was confident that I could master any sword technique well.

Learning swordsmanship would be poisonous to me like that.

“Your sword is a bit unusual. “Rather than saying you have your own swordsmanship, it feels like you’re copying someone else’s swordsmanship.”

Those words stung me a little.

The swordsmanship I used was the same as copying that of the main character, Ahar.

It is the swordsmanship most frequently seen in the original work, and it also possesses unrivaled power when it comes to killing.

I can’t deny that it has helped me a lot so far.

“That doesn’t mean it’s bad. In an empire, there is imperial swordsmanship, and in a kingdom, there is kingdom swordsmanship. “The majority of knights learn and use those sword techniques.”

“Then what’s the problem?”

“You have no originality of your own.”

“Originality?”

“Even if they learn and train in the same imperial swordsmanship, each knight has a different personality and color. “The root of imperial swordsmanship is the same, but the branches and fruits extending from it are different.”

“….”

“Otherwise, there is no reason why some people cannot become sword masters and others sword users by learning the same imperial sword techniques.”

It didn’t seem like it was wrong.

Even if you think about blacksmiths, they all work differently.

The work method was the same, but the experience and skills contained within it were different.

Therefore, ordinary blacksmiths and master blacksmiths are divided into two.

It’s like doing the same thing, but some people are good at it and others are bad at it.

There are things that suit each person, things that are appropriate, and things that do not suit each person.

“You don’t have that. The swordsmanship itself is not bad. “The practical swordsmanship can be seen as several times better than the flashy swordsmanship of the kingdom.”

“….”

“But why don’t you have any color? All you do is simply follow along. So you can’t go deeper or farther. Honestly, it’s amazing. “To be able to become that strong even though you have no depth.”

He muttered quietly, ‘I guess talent is the answer, after all.’ He looked at me intently.

“If you don’t find your own color, there are limits. You may be able to rise to the highest level, but it will be difficult to become a sword master if you don’t find your own.”

It sounded like a bolt from the blue, but I was able to remain calm.

I was vaguely feeling it.

I came to see him because I thought it couldn’t go on like this.

I thought that if he could understand this much through one sparring session, he would be able to fix my problem.

“Have you ever done any basic exercises?”

“Basic stuff?”

“okay. “Like 10,000 horizontal cuts and 10,000 vertical cuts.”

“Uh…”

Was it there? No, there isn’t.

I was just trying to improve my physical strength, but I had never used such an ignorant method.

“doesn’t exist.”

“I thought so… but this is shocking in a different way. “I haven’t done anything like that, but my skills are at that level.”

He tapped his fingers on the table.

Knock knock knock.

“Then we’d better start with that.”

“yes?”

“He said he would learn swordplay from me. “Then shouldn’t you leave it to me?”

“…All right.”

He is not only a sword master by name.

He was a person who became a sword master through his own power.

No matter how old-fashioned it may be, it cannot be refuted that the methods he talks about are helpful.

“When are you going to start doing this? From now on?”

“We have to do it right away…”

“Master!”

Just as I was about to say that we were starting today, Raina came into the living room in a hurry.

“what’s the matter?”

“That’s it…”

Rayna noticed Count Warrug’s gaze and carefully approached me, putting her mouth to my ear.

“….”

“what?”

After hearing her words, I couldn’t help but wrinkle my face.

I heard a very frustrating story about having to go back to my hometown.
