Episode 275
“I heard you’re a sword master.”
“Who, who are you talking about?”
“You.”
“No, Your Majesty. Who would have dared to call me a Sword Master…….”
Evan, who had been asking stupid questions several times, finally came to his senses. It was the same during the trial, and it seemed like there were strange rumors going around.
At that moment, the teacher opened his mouth as if he was embarrassed.
“Wait a minute, Your Majesty. I haven’t explained anything to Sir Evan yet.”
“What did you do without even explaining it, Captain?”
“…….”
Walter barely managed to hold back the urge to touch his forehead. He had brought him to the training ground because he had been told to, but he had never expected that he would suddenly be asked to swing his sword.
“Your Majesty, I understand that you want to confirm this as soon as possible, but….”
Yes. If we only consider the kingdom, it is the first time in 30 years that a new Sword Master has been born, so I understand that you want to check it out quickly. If it were up to you, I would have urged you to unleash your sword spirit right away.
However, according to Baedong, Evan only became a little stronger due to the awakening of the Wolang tribe, and did not become a sword master through pure skill.
Of course, since it had already been successful once, he said that if he could just remember the feeling of shooting the sword properly, there would be no problem, but since Evan’s situation at the time was not normal, Walter had no choice but to be cautious. Furthermore, even if he had treated him, who knew what side effects there might be?
“…Evan Sir suffered a serious injury, his wrist being cut. Would you mind giving him a little more time to recover?”
“I thought you were cured using an advanced potion. Are you still not fully recovered?”
“I guess not yet……”
“Oh, it’s okay, Master. My hand is fine.”
“…….”
Walter almost slapped Evan on the back in front of everyone. He was such a useless piece of shit… … .
“They said it was okay.”
“…Mana hasn’t recovered yet,”
“Then, should I bring you a mana potion?”
After saying this, His Majesty poked the side of His Excellency the Prime Minister who was standing next to him.
“Abel, hand over what you’ve been hiding.”
“…Your Majesty, please be careful with your words in front of everyone. And why do you think there is something hidden?”
“Isn’t there any?”
“…there is.”
In the end, even the mana potions that His Excellency had secretly hidden were completely taken away.
Walter watched the chancellor take potions out of his bosom one by one, and quickly checked what he had in his hand again.
‘Boss, if anything happens to Puppy, break the rock.’
‘What kind of stone are you talking about?’
‘There’s that lucky cat-shaped stone I gave you before.’
‘… … .’
‘I know what’s on the desk in the director’s office right now.’
‘Big, what happens if you break it?’
‘I know where it is. Think of it as a rescue request.’
So, even though I broke the stone in two, I didn’t know if it was properly delivered to Baedong.
Break.
Walter tried again, just in case, to force the rock once more. Now it was completely shattered, its original shape was no longer visible.
– Captain, isn’t that too cruel? Stop destroying it while I’m watching.
‘… … !’
Walter was startled by the voice in his head. However, since this was not his first experience, he was able to quickly regain his senses.
“Sir Evan, here you are.”
“Ah, no, Your Majesty. The state of your mana heart seems to be fine.”
Then, the prime minister insisted on offering the child a mana potion, and the little puppy refused it and turned around in awe. It was truly a heartbreaking scene.
-Tsk tsk, you should pretend to be tired, not so simple…
‘That’s what I’m saying.’
Walter couldn’t hear Baedong, but he kept agreeing inwardly and lamenting his disciple’s naivety.
“What do you think, Sir Evan? Do you think you can shoot the sword?”
“Actually, I wasn’t in my right mind at the time, so I don’t remember whether I fired the sword or not.”
“Okay, just give it a shot.”
“…What happens if I can’t shoot?”
“You’re being kicked out.”
“…yes?”
“I’ll give you time to say goodbye to the prince.”
“Huh?!”
Evan, who had come with a light heart, only then realized the gravity of the situation and his face hardened. Who could have imagined that this ridiculous test would be his last bastion…?
Evan stood in front of the wooden doll, a little nervous. He thought that since it was like this, he should increase his aura as much as possible to make it look plausible. If it seemed possible, wouldn’t you consider holding off?
“Okay, wait a minute, Evan!”
Walter, who was listening to Nihil at that time, quickly stopped Evan.
“Master?”
“If you’re going to shoot your sword, shoot it into the sky.”
“If you treat me like that, teacher, how can I handle it later?”
Evan replied and took four or five steps away from the wooden doll. He felt confident because even his teacher said something like that.
‘If you just pour out all the mana you have, wouldn’t it look a little more plausible?’
To be honest, I couldn’t believe that I had become a Sword Master. Maybe the traces of sword energy that were said to have appeared in the forest weren’t real sword energy, but just a large, stupid aura.
Evan concentrated his aura as much as possible while thinking about that. He had done a lot of training with the lynx guy to strengthen his manpower, so maybe…
‘If you hold on to the aura that is about to scatter.’
However, contrary to Evan’s expectations, the aura that had grown longer did not shoot out, but simply returned to its original state. It was the same no matter how many times he tried. It didn’t even close on the wooden doll.
“Then that’s right.”
“What is Sword Master….”
“Ahem, I’ll go in now.”
“Hmm…….”
The nobles who had come out to watch began to show their displeasure one by one. Evan scratched his head, feeling embarrassed for no reason.
“I guess it wasn’t like that,”
“No, I think it will work. Let’s try again!”
“Doesn’t it feel like it’s being absorbed again?”
“Can’t we increase it a little more?”
“No, try throwing it!”
“Evan, try again!”
However, the reactions of His Majesty and the other knights were quite different. It seemed to be the difference between those who handled Aura and those who did not.
“What do you expect from a young adult? I guess that’s acceptable for an achievement like that.”
“What about achievement…? It’s just a catch technique….”
Of course, there were some who were secretly wary, but most seemed to want to try again.
“Sir Evan, how about we try to recapture that feeling we had before?”
At that moment, the prime minister, who had been watching quietly, intervened.
Evan, who was looking down at the sword with tears streaming down his face, muttered with a slightly dejected look.
“But… I don’t remember at all.”
“Then how about creating a similar urgent situation as that time?”
Walter was the one who flinched at those words. He felt sorry for Evan, but he didn’t think he could do it again if he was asked to do that again.
It was possible because Baedong helped in the first place, and Evan collapsed because he took medicine at that time, otherwise he would have been rampant for a long time.
-Well, how about just telling him to shoot into the sky? I’ll shoot at the right time.
At that moment, Baedong spoke again. Baedong said something ridiculous, saying that he was keeping the sword that Evan had used before. Even if it was true, Walter was not happy about it.
-I guess you don’t feel like it.
Baedong asked himself questions just by looking at my subtle changes in facial expression.
‘I already have a lot to apologize for… … .’
Even if we leave aside how Evan was storing the sword he shot, it was impossible to imagine how disappointed Evan would be when he found out about it later. How could it be said that it was entirely Evan’s power?
So, I hoped that Evan would succeed in this position.
-Haa… You really are annoying.
Rustle, rustling rustling. Rustle rustling rustling.
As he finished his grumbling words, he heard a loud noise from somewhere that was hard to ignore, and then Baedong appeared from under an old tree a long way away. It was under the commemorative tree of Autumnum Palace.
‘You shouldn’t climb that tree… … .’
While Walter was worrying about that, Evan discovered the pain.
“…A cat?”
When Evan pretended to know, the child raised both hands as if he was happy and started jumping around.
It was too far away to see his expression, but to those who didn’t know the true nature of Baedong, it was a gesture that seemed really cute, like someone waving their hand.
‘Were you watching from that far away…?’
I’m afraid that such a question will arise,
A stick.
“……?!”
The old tree made a loud noise, twisted strangely, and slowly leaned to the side.
“You little squirrel!”
Evan was surprised and screamed at the top of his lungs, but Baedong, who was trying to dodge, fell over with his legs twisted.
“……!”
Walter instinctively leapt forward, even though he knew that the landing was not ordinary. However, the distance to the landing was considerable, and the altitude was even higher.
Before they even reached the halfway point, the old tree was on the verge of crushing the child.
‘Are we too late… …!’
But at that thought, a terrifying golden aura passed over his head.
“……!”
Kwaaaaang!
It smashed the old tree with a loud noise.
… that too, along with the corner of the Autumnum Palace.
Krumbling, rumbling-.
“…….”
“…….”
Dust rose out of nowhere, and the remains of the broken palace rolled along the floor with a loud noise. Those who were watching, even Evan who had fired the sword, just stared blankly at the scene, and no one opened their mouth.
Clap clap clap clap!
It was then that the sound of applause was heard. The child who had suddenly gotten up from the floor began to clap his hands and jump.
“…….”
Walter looked at the scene in bewilderment. Unless he was an idiot, he couldn’t have not known that Baedong had provoked this situation.
The white hair that was particularly shiny and reflected the sunlight bounced around. It looked very lively, but Baedong’s liveliness was all fake. Walter could tell. Because a particularly dull voice echoed in his head.
-I’m going, captain. You take care of the rest.
“…….”
Walter was once again speechless at the tremendous sense of disconnect.
-So, if I just do as I’m told from the beginning, will it be better?
The child made that sound, waved his hand in greeting, and then disappeared.
“…….”
“…….”
“…sorry.”
Only Evan’s voice echoed softly in the wide smokehouse.
* * *
“Rian, I’m here. Sorry I’m late.”
“Neil! It’s been twenty minutes!”
“Kuiyah!”
He said he’d be here in 5 minutes! Rianus pouts his lips in protest, feeling a little offended for no reason. Nihil finds that cute, so he pats his lips and puts them in, and Somnus follows suit, sticking his snout out.
“I heard a loud noise. Did something happen?”
Lianus asked with concern, as if asking when he had ever felt sad.
Nihil responded lightly, tapping Somnus’ snout.
“Well, it’s nothing. The palace was a little ruined because of the puppy. You can comfort your dad later.”
“……?”
“Have you chosen your clothes?”
Nihil changed the subject. Most of the servants of Autumnum Palace were taken away for questioning, so there would be no casualties, so there was no need to worry too much.
“Wait a minute, what do you mean the palace collapsed…?”
“Oh, yeah! Look at this!”
Pinkie was about to ask something, but Miyeok intervened and suddenly handed her a booklet.
“How about this?”
“Well, that’s fine. What color is it?”
“We decided to match it with a blue color scheme. My brother will use light blue as his main color, and I will use dark blue as my main color. I will also make Ariel’s dress by combining these two colors.”
“I see.”
Nihil nodded as he watched the chattering Rianus. It seems that since everyone’s hair color is different, he chose a color that would go well with them.
“Neil, how about wearing blue jewelry with a white outfit? Oh, and embroidery with subtle pearls would be pretty too!”
As he said that, Lianus jumped up. He was planning to call the designer right away. Although there were only three days left, it wouldn’t be difficult since he was just altering clothes that had already been made.
‘This is definitely going to be the best birthday party ever!’
It was definitely going to be like that… … !
“But Lian, I can’t attend the banquet.”
“what?!”
It was a bolt from the blue.
