Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 167:

A small feast was held in the Marquis of Easton.

It was a feast to welcome Count Warrug and a feast of joy for having prevented the Kairos tribe’s surprise attack in advance.

“…If I hadn’t known in advance that such a person existed, it would have been dangerous. Thank you. “If it weren’t for you, we would have been in big trouble.”

“no. It’s not like I did it for the sake of it. The people who went with me suffered more than that. “I haven’t done much.”

“I already heard everything from the report.”

“Hahaha….”

The Marquis of Easton and Earl Warrug chatted while holding glasses filled with milk, not alcohol.

Easton was under wartime conditions 365 days a year, so drinking was not allowed.

So, just to cheer myself up, I poured hot milk into a glass and drank it.

It wasn’t a bad feeling to enjoy the feast with a pig’s hind leg in one hand and milk in the other.

And since he had lived in the South for several months, he knew how extravagant his current actions were.

“Anyway, are you okay? “It is certainly powerful, but I know it has side effects on your body.”

“Hmm…”

Count Warrug smiled bitterly at the Marquis of Easton’s words.

His right hand was shaking as he had just thrown away a pork bone.

He hid his hand so that the Marquis of Easton could not see it.

“Still, I have no regrets. “Because I was able to show it to the people I needed to show it to.”

Count Warrug looks to one side.

For some reason, Raymond was seen surrounded by rangers and being attended to by Lanos, who was about to turn on the lights and rush in just before leaving for the mission.

Rangers approached him and asked him to share his experience.

Lanos surrounded Raymond from the rangers.

In the midst of all the noise, Raymond was the only one who was very quiet.

He was resting his chin as if he was not eating his food, as if he was worried about something.

Count Warrug looked at him and remembered what happened last night.

I thought I could never stop it.

I just prayed that he would stay alive.

‘At that time…’

When the halberd full of aura was aimed at Raymond, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.

That thing can’t be stopped.

Should I just watch him die?

Was I this helpless?

How should I tell Gerard about this?

All kinds of random thoughts were giving him a headache.

My heart sank.

All I could think about was that Raymond was going to die.

For a moment, I was at a loss as to what I should do.

This was my first time like this.

It was common for people to die in war.

Even if it was a strong knight, it was the same.

It was a war in which deaths from blind arrows were common.

He had been wandering around such battlefields for over ten years.

He was reacting sensitively to Raymond’s death.

‘But I really didn’t know how to stop it.’

Raymond’s unexpected Auror operation caught my eye.

An unknown Auror helped block the warrior commander’s halberd for a moment.

“Ugh…”

How long has it been since my heart was moved this much by one person?

It was the first time since I met my current wife.

I never thought I would stop that attack.

It was an attack that was difficult to block even for advanced Sword Experts.

‘He was more talented than I thought.’

His eyes shined sharply as he looked at Raymond.

“…?”

Raymond, who must have sensed his gaze, lifted his head and looked around.

Count Warrug looked at him happily from afar.

‘My hand is completely healed, so I can just roll.’

Any broken hand can be healed.

It is possible even if the bones turn to dust.

His father is an archmage who can use top-level recovery magic, so why worry?

The archmage was even able to restore a severed arm.

Even if it rots and a long period of time passes.

However, the price is high and the wizard who uses the magic becomes ill for several days when used, so the magic cannot be used unless you are an archmage.

You have to pay several million gold to receive treatment once, but it is impossible to receive treatment unless you are a significant loan holder.

“Where are you looking?”

As he was looking at Raymond for a while, the Marquis of Easton looked at him and said,

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“It’s bland… By the way, is that guy really that good?”

The Marquis of Easton shook his head helplessly and pointedly asked Raymond.

Count Warrug made a strange expression at that question.

“Should I call it skill? If talent is skill, then it is something like that.”

“Aren’t you too stubborn for your own good?”

“I can’t help it. “Everyone who saw him would have no choice but to give the same answer as I did.”

“Hmm… talent, talent.”

The Marquis of Easton, who had been looking at Count Warrug for a moment, turned his head to Raymond.

His eyes landed on his son pacing next to Raymond.

“He hated talented people more than dying.”

“You mean Lanos?”

The Marquis of Easton nods.

“To be honest, Lanos is not without talent. It belongs to the ordinary axis. Well, if that body were talent, it would be talent.”

“That body definitely surpasses those Kairos guys.”

“Yes, but strangely enough, I have no talent with a sword. The reason he was able to get there was because of his natural body, not because he was talented with a sword. “Those Kairos guys always compete head-on, so there’s almost no way they’ll lose.”

“I guess so.”

I know Lanos well, having seen him since I was young.

At first, it felt like I was looking at the mercenary king’s childhood because of how good his body was.

“That guy says he uses swordsmanship, but in reality he just uses force. “You can tell just by looking at the great sword he uses.”

“Yes.”

“Well, you know very well that you have no talent for swordsmanship. Last time, I had a sparring match with a knight from the royal supply unit. At that time, I only pushed with force and lost completely. That couldn’t even be seen as a couplet. “I was almost fooled.”

The Marquis of Easton’s eyes frowned as if he was remembering that time.

“Back then… it was the worst. There were other things, but from then on I started to despise talented guys. Well, in a way, it’s natural. “Because my first loss was to that guy.”

“Hmm…”

“But it’s surprising that a guy who hates talent so much cares for someone with talent like that.”

At those words, Count Warrug glances at Lanos and Raymond.

One person is annoying and the other is trying to cling somehow. It was a funny sight.

***

It was a strange feeling.

It’s my aura, but it feels like it’s not my aura.

The feeling of that time when the external Auror became my Auror and pushed away the halberd was still vivid.

For a moment, I was creating a sword.

A real sword lecture, not a fake sword lecture that I used to imitate from other knights.

There was nothing it couldn’t cut and the destructive power that could destroy anything was still clear.

Let’s think about it.

If I can make that feeling my own, I will become stronger than I am now.

“I said Raymond. “This is good for wounds.”

“You need to recover your stamina, so eat plenty of meat!”

“Not even Sannim! hey! “Go get some more meat!”

I was trying to somehow regain the feeling of that time, but the people next to me kept interrupting me.

“I’ll take care of it.”

It was nice to get his attention, but I disliked too much attention.

Although it was better than when they despised me and showed hostility for no reason.

‘You keep talking, so I’m losing concentration.’

As soon as I returned, I took the time to acquire this sense.

I thought I could just add a little more, but I was frustrated because I couldn’t get it right.

I don’t want to be disturbed here.

If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have attended the feast.

I never thought that coming out because I had to participate would bother me so much.

‘Why are they doing that again?’

Lanos alone was too much, but all the Rangers in the Marquis Territory came in droves.

It wasn’t just the Rangers.

I don’t know what Count Warrug reported, but even knights, including rangers, gathered to talk to me.

It was quite annoying because I felt like I had unexpectedly become an idol.

“Do something! “I’m still not eating!”

“That’s right! “It doesn’t make sense for someone who did something like that to barely eat that much!”

“Now drink! Because it’s goat’s milk! “It’s very precious!”

The rangers joined Lanos’ words.

The knights stood behind the rangers and looked at me with strangely excited faces.

“Raymond…”

Then one of them spoke to me with an expression on his face that said he couldn’t bear it anymore.

“I heard about your performance well. “It is said that he took the blow of a warrior.”

“….”

What on earth are you trying to say that you’re so hesitant about?

I raised my head and looked at him, and he lowered his head towards me.

“I request a sparring match. “Please teach me something.”

“Oh, this is shameful! “I was going to tell you first!”

“I want to do it too! Please spar with me too!”

Starting with that article, even the rangers have been requesting to spar with me.

“These! “I come first!”

Lanos didn’t think about stopping them and instead intervened.

It’s not a good idea to spar with someone who just went through a hard time last night.

Most people do this when they dislike the other person or are bullying them.

Please tell me to leave on my own.

But looking at their atmosphere, it wasn’t like that.

From the way they bowed their heads to me, I could tell that they were very serious and cheerful.

Even though I hadn’t been drinking, my face was turning red.

If you want to spar, get excited.

‘So you’re a Southerner….’

They are the people of the South who start with battle and end with battle.

For them, fighting against the strong is a valuable experience that helps them survive the war.

Moreover, they knew how strong the warrior commanders were.

I experienced them every day, so I couldn’t not know.

That’s why he thought highly of me.

Receiving the warrior commander’s blow meant that I was similar to or stronger than Lanos.

‘It’s sparring…’

I looked around.

Looking at it this way, they seemed to want to share a sword with me rather than listen to my story.

This was another new reaction.

It didn’t feel that bad.

On the contrary, it felt good to feel like I was being recognized.

“Well… I was itching too.”

Sparring with them wasn’t all that bad.

In order to regain my senses, it was better to move my body rather than sit still and worry.

If you swing the sword, you will be able to get more information.

“great. “Let’s do it.”

“It’s sparring!”

In response to my response, the rangers shouted, demanding that the entire Marquis territory leave.
