Episode. 08 Ugly Moritz (3)

Caan-!

center of the arena. Moritz demonstrates violent swordsmanship.

It was Richard’s basic swordsmanship that prevented that.

Who can see that appearance as a third month of training?

“Brother Moritz has lost his temper.”

Moritz went over to Richard’s provocation.

The assortment of Dalian had long since been erased, and the tight pressure was tug-of-war as if they were fighting for their lives.

Swoop-

A senior knight who was watching the two put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

If it was judged to be dangerous, it would immediately block the two.

Richard is enduring it well now, but it is unknown how long that will last.

If you make a mistake, the worst could happen.

“Just watch.”

“hmm?”

Someone spoke to such a high-ranking knight.

When I turned my head and looked, it was Aaron, a mid-level knight of the 3rd Knights.

He was not taking his eyes off Richard.

“Everyone will find out today. Master Richard’s real face… … !”

Aaron muttered meaningfully.

A blissful bliss flashed on his face.

‘Now, show it to everyone!’

After today’s sparring, when he thought of Richard, who would get rid of the stigma of being a fool and gain a reputation as a genius, Aaron’s heart started beating wildly.

“Huh… … Heo-eok… … !”

Soon, Dalian fell into a lull.

Compared to the calm-looking Richard, Moritz was breathing heavily.

It seemed that he had run amok like an unbridled colt all the time, and finally ran out of stamina.

In the eyes of not a few onlookers, Richard only had Moritz in his eyes.

He was aiming for this composition and provoking Moritz. Now it’s time to strike back.

When Moritz takes a breath.

Dig-!

Richard’s legs kicked the ground.

It was Richard’s first attack since the start of Dalian.

“omg!”

Moritz’s breathing stopped.

The timing of entering and stabbing the gap between inhalation and exhalation was exquisite.

Kang, Kagan!

Once again, sparks began to fly in the gymnasium.

However, the flow of Dalian was completely reversed.

Moritz’s new type, which was only attacking, retreated behind the extension. And Richard’s sword followed him tenaciously.

Moritz waved his sword as if in a seizure, but his swordsmanship was already imprinted in Richard’s mind.

“Ah!”

With a sword that gets clogged before even swinging the sword properly.

And Richard’s training sword, which cuts through his breath without a break.

‘Why?’

Moritz felt as if his limbs were tied.

From noble mtl dot com

Why are you being pushed helplessly?

To the idiot you’ve been ignoring and belittling so much?

why? why me?

“This is nonsense!”

Moritz’s eyes grew more and more dangerous.

It was obvious how he would be treated if he lost to Richard like this.

That pressure made Moritz’s mind a mess.

gooh-

A blue light radiated from his body.

It started to use mana.

To use it in a sparring with Richard, who was insensitive to mana, it was an act that went beyond the limit.

Even if you win now, you won’t win.

But Moritz didn’t care.

Only the thought of winning against Richard in front of him was filled with thoughts.

“Oh, no! No, Master Moritz!”

The knights watching the battle shouted in astonishment.

Among them, Hendrick, Moritz’s loyalist, was particularly severe.

It was a big deal for Moritz to be defeated, but harming Richard using mana was another matter.

He didn’t know that maybe he would be disadvantaged for putting a line on him.

After making his decision, Hendrick immediately prepared to kick the ground.

But it was a misfortune.

“I knew it would come out like that.”

The knights felt strange.

Why is Richard so relaxed?

Even while the sword wrapped in mana was slamming right in front of my nose.

At that moment, the light exploded.

Kagaga River-!

A terrible sound resounded in the gymnasium.

The two brothers stood sword to sword.

Moritz’s sword, flowing with blue mana, and Richard’s sword, which had divine power, were intertwined.

The two swords, which had been struggling for a while, began to lean sharply to one side.

Quadduk-

With the sound of digging into the dirt floor, Moritz’s new model mercilessly pushed backwards and left a long mark on the floor.

The divine power had the power to improve physical abilities. In addition, divine power itself was higher than normal mana in many ways.

As the divine power rushed through the mana route developed by Balak, Richard felt the power rising out of control.

“Hey, what the hell is this!”

Moritz let out a scream-like shout.

What does that white light mean?

Why did Richard, who is insensitive to mana, have such power!

He had no idea, and even the proper accident didn’t follow anymore.

Richard’s clenched fists were lodged in Moritz’s face.

Wow!

He rolled on the ground with an unpleasant sound like kicking a rubber ball.

Soon, silence fell over the gymnasium.

Aaron looked around.

A silent gymnasium.

Knights standing like wooden stones.

And Richard, catching his breath with his sword hanging down in the middle.

“Is what I just saw right?”

“Mana Traits… … ! The rumors were true!”

The silence quickly turned into a murmur.

Some looked at him in disbelief, while others looked at Richard with admiration and admiration.

‘young master… … !’

Aaron was thrilled.

Richard’s true face had finally become known. From now on, the modifier ‘sh*t’ will not follow him.

How happy Gide would be if he saw Richard now.

Gide, who often referred to Richard as a sore finger and showed deep concern, would not be able to control his emotions to the point of shedding tears.

‘I will reach a higher level as soon as possible!’

Aaron kept repeating his promise to himself.

◈ ◈ ◈

“really… … I can’t believe it.”

A high-ranking knight next to Aaron muttered. He turned his head and looked at Aaron.

His eyes seemed to ask if you already knew Richard’s true face.

“From now on, Master Richard will grow even more unstoppable.”

“ha ha ha! I really ate this one. I never thought he was hiding fangs like that!”

As the high-ranking knight’s gruff voice resounded loudly, the murmur grew even louder.

“Has mana insensitivity been cured?”

“No, maybe he was acting to hide his mana characteristics. Just remember that scene!”

“oh my god! Battenga’s lineage is even given mana attributes!”

“It’s mana, but it’s a very mature swordsmanship.”

Meanwhile, Richard shook his head at the sound of the knights’ voices ringing in his ears.

The chattering appearance was like a luxury, not a knight.

Still, it didn’t feel bad.

『Speciality – Basic swordsmanship proficiency increases.』

『Current proficiency level A → S』

‘bye. You were a good sacrifice.’

Richard meditated as he looked down at Moritz who was spread out on the floor.

In fact, in terms of swordsmanship alone, Richard was no match for him.

The decisive factor in winning or losing is cool judgment and concentration.

Moritz lost his temper, and Richard concentrated.

That was all, and that was the most important thing.

Richard fully enjoyed the afterglow of the victor.

clap clap-

At that time, applause was heard from somewhere.

Following the sound, Richard turned his head and opened his eyes wide.

Not only that, but the knights around him were also startled.

“Sir Leo?”

The leader of the 1st Knights of Battenberg.

Ludwig’s right-hand man, a reliable battlefield commander with numerous achievements.

Such a great person was looking at Richard.

As he clapped with all his might, his eyes sparkled uncomfortably.

◈ ◈ ◈

Although the word “the family head’s right-hand man” puts it into disrepute, Leo is a man full of curiosity.

To him, the news that Battenga’s gore was sparring was an unbearable spectacle.

To think that Richard, whom he had been interested in lately, was the protagonist, Leo eventually moved to the short swordsman’s gymnasium.

Even though he had to postpone the work he received from the head of state, he never regretted his choice.

“You are very good, Master Richard.”

clap clap-

A satisfied smile appeared on Leo’s face as he clapped his hands.

To think that Richard would win against Moritz.

Wasn’t Moritz the cat’s position and Richard’s the mouse’s position?

But now Bonnie Richard is a cat… … no it was a tiger

“I didn’t know you could use mana.”

You said that insensitivity to mana, which was called incurable, was cured?

What is that pure white mana?

An intense curiosity stirred in Leo’s mind.

I wanted to dig up Richard. I wanted to know what he was hiding.

Leo struggled to suppress his simmering emotions.

He always has this problem.

The inability to contain one’s curiosity. Didn’t Ludwig always scold for this?

As he adjusted his expression, Richard threw a questioning look at him.

“Sir Leo, what are you doing here?”

“Well, I came to see the masters’ sparring. Thanks to you, I had a very good viewing.”

Leo was too high a tycoon to be panting for kids’ fights.

The leader of the 1st Knights of Battenberg.

A person who tries to surpass the realm of a sword master.

The man the sons of Battenberg most want to win over to their side.

that was leo

“Is that so.”

After answering calmly, Richard’s gaze scanned the gymnasium.

The knights around them only rolled their eyes, watching for an opportunity to escape.

They were the ones who had been forced to come here because of Moritz’s half-forced recommendation.

I didn’t know what kind of tail I would get if I stayed here for no reason since I came to Leo.

In any case, the current situation was Dalian without official permission.

Perhaps knowing their feelings, Richard opened his mouth.

“How long are you planning to stay here? This is my personal gym.”

At the same time, the raised finger pointed to a corner.

Moritz, forgotten by everyone, was scattered there.

“Brother, if you leave it that way, you might get a bone disease. Hurry up and take him.”

Only then would the knights be caught, so they hurriedly left the gymnasium.

Moritz, whose nose collapsed, exited with Hendrick on his back.

Eventually, only Richard, Aaron, and Leo were left in the small swordsman’s private gymnasium.

Richard’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Leo.

It’s as if you’re not going out, with an attitude.

“hahahaha! Don’t notice too much!”

Aside from his morbid curiosity, Leo has a fairly kind and smirk personality.

Even now, he only had a cheeky smile on his face, and he showed no sign of displeasure at Richard’s glances.

Then Leo scanned Richard’s body.

“It doesn’t look like you were seriously injured in the previous sparring.”

“Well, yes. Although I was a little tired.”

“also! Then… … Would you like to try sparring with me?”
