Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 138

Whoop!

The sound of swords being swung increased in the training hall.

Next to me, the 3rd prince was sweating and swinging a wooden sword.

His breathing became quite heavy, as if he was very tired.

“Are you having a hard time?”

“Oh no!”

The 3rd prince shook his head and began swinging the wooden sword, which had slowed down, back to its original speed.

‘It’s holding up pretty well.’

Looking at him like that, I felt like I saw a side of him, so I saw him again.

Even if I can’t do it now, I’ve been swinging for two hours.

I have swung it close to 6,000 times now, so the 3rd prince must have swung it at least 4,000 times.

“Ugh… Ugh…!”

The sight of him moaning as if he was going to die at any moment and trying his best to keep up with my speed felt amazing.

‘If I heard something for nothing…’

If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have gone to see William.

After hearing those words, I began to look at the third prince’s every action differently.

I came to give meaning to each of his actions.

That’s why I feel sorry for him, so I have to understand.

I can’t say it was a good thing, but for me, who didn’t really like him, I could say it was a miraculous change.

“If you’re having a hard time, you can quit.”

“no! “I will do it until the end!”

Two days.

I trained at the training center for two days with the 3rd prince.

Although it was a short period of time, the 3rd prince followed my training well.

Even though he was staggering as if he was going to collapse at any moment, I could see him trying to hold on somehow.

Another change was that he started using honorifics.

Even when he just came here, he used to speak informally to everyone.

But now, even though it feels awkward, I can see that he is trying to be polite.

‘It means keeping your promise…’

I could tell a little bit that he was not a person who just talks.

“Your Majesty is training.”

“Have you ever seen Your Majesty smile so brightly? “I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a pure smile except when I was young.”

“me too. “I don’t know why, but Your Majesty looks very happy.”

The voices of knights watching from afar could be heard.

They looked very confused.

They didn’t like the sight of the 3rd prince being friendly with me, but the sight of him smiling and swinging his sword happily stimulated their hearts.

“Nine thousand nine hundred seventy-two nine thousand nine hundred seventy-three… ten thousand times!”

In the end, the 3rd prince, who had filled the bowl 10,000 times, sat down and lay down.

“Huh… Huh…!”

He was breathing hard and trying to catch his breath somehow, so I grabbed his shoulder and raised his upper body.

“It’s harder to breathe when you’re lying down.”

If you lie down straight, if you twist your body like the 3rd prince, you may find it more difficult to breathe.

The 3rd prince, who had been looking up at me with round eyes, looked at me as his breathing became easier.

“…thank you.”

He took a deep breath and bowed his head to me.

As my use of polite language has improved, expressing gratitude and bowing my head has become easier than before.

“How long will Your Highness be here?”

“…Do you not like me being here?”

“It’s more of a worry than a dislike. “Your Highness has already been here for almost a week. Shouldn’t you go back soon?”

“It’s okay… no one is looking for me anyway…”

His last words sounded particularly lonely.

Is it true that no one is looking for him?

No matter what, they are royal family.

It made no sense not to look for the royal family, but I remembered what I heard from William.

The emperor is a man who is not bound by family love, and the third prince’s mother is dead.

That may have been the reason why he was crooked.

I understood that the child was crooked because not only was there no one who could properly tell him what was wrong and what was right, but there was also no one who gave him love.

There’s no one who can tell him the right things, and people around him say he’s good at whatever he does.

In some ways, we may have to consider ourselves fortunate that we haven’t made any major mistakes so far.

“Is there something on my face?”

“no. “I just didn’t know it would catch on this well.”

“Hi-Hi.”

He laughed like a child.

It’s not like a kid, but it’s a kid. It suited him to act and think like a child.

Although he is said to be 16, his appearance, size, and everything else did not suit him.

It feels like I’m wearing an adult’s suit that doesn’t fit a child.

It was better to laugh when I wanted to, like now, than to intentionally get angry and speak informally and bring the other person to their knees.

The only problem is…

“Is it delicious?”

“What do you think about this…?”

“Where are you going?”

It wasn’t like when I accepted his offer, it was even worse when he chased after me.

The only difference is that he follows me openly rather than secretly.

“His Highness the Third Prince is chasing you, right?”

“It’s really amazing. “People who didn’t get along very well with each other.”

People looked at me and the 3rd prince in amazement.

I was just being annoying, but it was something that didn’t make sense to the people of the count family, who knew that if they didn’t like me, they would reject me.

They don’t know why I don’t drop the 3rd prince.

“let’s go together!”

For now, I had no choice but to let the Third Prince follow me.

***

It was that night.

It was time to finally put the 3rd prince away and lie down on the bed to rest.

-human!

The hatchling, which had been quiet, screamed loudly and jumped onto my boat.

“Ugh!”

A tingling pain spread around the boat the hatchling was on.

-Human, go out with me!

The hatchling was excited.

He must have seen something and was grabbing my collar and pulling me.

“What’s going on?”

-I discovered something strange!

The hatchling shouted at me, still unable to control his excitement.

What on earth did the hatchling see that made him so excited?

“For what?”

-There’s something strange in the forest!

“forest?”

-Yes! Something strange is happening in the forest! The flow of mana has changed!

The hatchling’s words made him frown.

Those words were like predicting that an event would soon occur.

It was clear that this was something I absolutely did not want, as I wanted to be quiet and comfortable.

“Aren’t you mistaken?”

-no!

The hatchling shook his head, saying that couldn’t be possible.

He said he would never make a mistake because he was great and urged me to go to the forest.

But even so, it wasn’t like I could move as I wanted.

‘There’s no way the Count didn’t feel that.’

The Archmage, who could be said to be more sensitive to Mana than anyone else, was silent right now.

If it was a threat, he would have stepped forward or ordered the knights to resolve it.

However, seeing as he was quiet and didn’t say anything, it would be safe to assume that you don’t have to worry too much

– you’ll regret it if you don’t go!

I wanted to ignore it, but the hatchling’s warning stuck with me.

Hatchlings never act this excessively over trivial matters.

To get his attention, at least a large-scale spell that imprisons the forest must be unleashed.

If the scale itself was something that Hatchling was interested in, the job could get really dangerous.

“Do you really have to go today? “Can’t I go tomorrow?”

I knew that, but I didn’t want to move now.

I was so tired both physically and mentally that I wanted to rest a little more.

Moreover, it is night now. The door connecting the outside and the inside was closed and the security was raised to the highest level.

Although it was possible to move freely during the day, it was difficult to move at night.

Even when you plan to go out at night, you must report the reason and destination.

And you can only leave if you get the earl’s approval.

‘If you say you’re going to the forest during this time, you can’t help but be suspicious.’

It is best to move quietly during the day rather than at night.

That way, you can move around more comfortably.

Although the 3rd prince got caught, he is a good listener these days, so it will be okay to leave him alone tomorrow for just one day.

If you can’t decide, just ask Daria to take care of it for one day.

-Hmm….

The hatchling looked in the direction of the forest, tilted his head and was lost in thought.

The hatchling, who was nodding his head occasionally, looked back at me.

-I think it will be okay! So, are you going with me tomorrow?

“okay. So, let’s get some rest today.”

-I get it! Rest!

A hatchling crawled under the blanket next to me as I lay on the bed and curled up next to me.

I played with the silky hatchling’s head and closed my eyes.

***

Morning dawned and I faced a dilemma.

“Take me too!”

The 3rd prince, who I thought would stay calm, became angry and said he would go with me.

“It’ll just take a moment. “Didn’t you want to be with Daria?”

“That’s true, but… that still doesn’t work! “I’m going out too!”

Why are there so many flocks like this?

The 3rd prince was behaving foolishly to the point where he was becoming more and more irritated.

“You’ll regret it if you don’t take me with you.”

Now, I was embarrassed by his behavior as he glared at me with venom.

I was wondering whether I should be angry at him for trying to match my acceptance of a little.

-Humans must go quickly! It’s getting weirder!

The hatchling is urging him on from the side and the 3rd prince is trying to follow him somehow even though he tries to ignore him, which is frustrating.

‘I know where I’m going. And if he dies…’

I thought about it for a moment and realized there was no reason for me to worry about him.

Whether he follows me or not, I tried to stop him, and even if he followed me and died, I can just say that I don’t know.

Of course, you could be held responsible for going out with me, but from the beginning, I was planning to go out while hiding myself using the hatchling’s magic.

When I left the city, there was no one to follow me.

In the first place, there was no one following him except the 3rd prince.

If you don’t listen to me anyway, you can just ignore it and leave.

There was no way the Count would allow him to die.

‘Because there are knights too.’

I don’t necessarily have to hide my going to the forest; I am simply going out to inspect it.

It would be easier for me if the knights of the empire helped me there.

Still, I asked the last question just in case.

“I cannot take responsibility for you.”

“It doesn’t matter. “I will protect my body!”

The 3rd prince, wearing leather armor tightly, pounded his chest and shouted.

I clearly warned you, and the third prince ignored it.

Now it was too much of a hassle to stop the hatchling, and it seemed like it would run wild if I left it like that.

“All right. I said it clearly. “I can’t protect you.”

“All right!”

His face was so innocent that I doubted whether he had listened to me properly.

It seemed like he thought going with me was like a picnic.

‘Yeah, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to experience it at least once.’

If you scold them properly, acting out like that will decrease.

Didn’t William do the same?

The 3rd prince is a guy who only believes what he sees.

And so the uncomfortable movement began.
