I Became a Madman in the Game - I Became a Madman in the Game chapter 25

Episode. 09 Ludwig’s right hand (2)

The story of Moritz, who applied for sparring vigorously, but was rather defeated, made Battenberg agitated.

Even though it was just yesterday.

The spectacle witnessed by countless knights was enough to make the unlicensed Dalian an official rank order.

“The immovable order has finally changed.”

Moritz is in danger of falling into the abyss.

“Has Master Richard’s talent finally blossomed!”

Richard, who trampled on him, drew attention.

Battenberg is a family that puts a thorough meritocracy on its lineage.

The weak were eliminated and the strong were praised.

“I heard that Master Richard used Shining Mana.”

“That’s the mana attribute, right? oh my god!”

At least, even the attendants were whispering.

Even the modifier, madman Richard, has now become a thing of the past.

In the meantime, more interesting stories leaked out from some corners.

-I heard that Leo, the 1st Knight Commander, will be guiding Richard’s training. Doesn’t this mean that you support him as the next successor!

“ha… … .”

A dry sigh was let out.

As for the successor, isn’t Sieg Battenberg, the second son of the family head, receiving great support?

Ignoring Aaron, who had a strange expression on his face, warmed up.

The injury received from Leo yesterday has been completely healed thanks to the precious potion.

I didn’t want to go through the pain of breaking a bone again, but the benefits of it were so sweet.

“The time has come soon.”

He said he would help with training from today, but Leo didn’t even show his nose.

‘This guy didn’t just jump out, right?’

After trying to calm my rising doubts, I started training my physical strength first.

It was two hours later that Leo came to my private gym.

“Why are you so late after breaking a man’s bones?”

Of course, my words can’t come out nicely.

When I looked at him with tears in his eyes, Leo smiled awkwardly and trembled.

“hahahaha… … A position is a position, so I am in a position where I have a lot of work to do.”

To sum it up, it meant that I was late because I had finished my work beforehand.

Did you say you’re late?

Given the time limit of two months, Aaron and I’s time was like gold.

“Looking at Sir Leo, it seems that the broken collarbone is starting to hurt again.”

“Ugh… … .”

He held out his hand as a sign of goodwill.

Leo, who put on a tired expression for a while, immediately faced him.

“The period I can help you with your training is three weeks at most.”

give it three It was a time when I wondered if it would be okay if I could fill in one more week of what I was doing.

Leo struck first.

“No more than that.”

“Why?”

“There was the name of the head of the household.”

If so, it is unavoidable.

“During that period, we will do our best to help. Because I still have a lot of questions about you, Bocchan.”

In an instant, his eyes sparkled.

Laughter escaped from his gaze full of determination to find out everything about me.

Big – Leo cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

“First, let me tell you what I felt through yesterday’s sparring.”

I straightened my posture and listened to Leo’s words.

“It is judged that the basic swordsmanship has matured quite a bit. His concentration was also very different.”

That’s natural. Basic swordsmanship achieved an S rank, and concentration is a special skill of super concentration.

They more than made up for the lack of talent.

“In addition, Bocchan’s mana traits seem to increase his physical abilities. Are you right?”

“That’s right.”

“In fact, you can see that the base is complete. What we need now is a more advanced swordsmanship… … .”

His gaze turned to the back of my hand.

“As long as you have Lord Balak’s imprint, learning another swordsmanship is not a very good choice.”

“Do you know the imprint of the test?”

“There are many swordsmanships in the world. It is said that among them there are swordsmanships that are passed down in various forms.”

Leo doesn’t know that Balak is a descendant of the Sword Saint.

However, it seemed that he knew the extent of his swordsmanship and how it was taught.

“He is a great swordsman comparable to the head of the household. When we stood on the battlefield together, it always gave me goosebumps.”

So, Leo added, do whatever it takes to open the imprint. That’s how it is anyway.

“Coming back to the main topic, there is something the boy needs to improve first.”

“What is it?”

“Mana control.”

He stretched out his hand in front of me.

“I heard that it was recently that you were cured of mana insensitivity. Then the total amount of mana is out of the question.”

Huung-

Leo’s hands were covered with mana.

An extremely thin, cloth-like form of mana.

“Mana control is a very important issue.”

Even though it didn’t have any special mana characteristics, the mana flowing through Leo’s hand was motionless.

The cloth of mana moved by itself and wrapped around Leo’s hand, and eventually changed into a light blue glove.

It was really great control.

“If you can’t control mana freely, you can’t weave auras either. Many knights are frustrated by being blocked by such a wall of superiority.”

I suddenly remembered someone, and I glanced to the side.

Aaron looked at Leo’s hand with a hardened face.

One of the knights who couldn’t weave an aura and was blocked by the wall of superiority was Aaron.

“Especially, the young master should train his mana control from now on so that he will not suffer such an unfortunate incident.”

Having said that, Leo messed up his mana.

“Sir Leo, do you know the proper training method?”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered to mention it, ha ha!”

Leo shouts with boastful words.

good night. Very good. It was just the training I needed, and I was the teacher I needed.

I stabbed Aaron in the side.

“Aaron, come and say hello.”

Why is this idiot standing there?

If you want to learn together, don’t you have to hold on to your pants and beg?

◈ ◈ ◈

A week has passed since I started training.

Leo looked at the two sitting with his eyes closed.

“It is not something that can be done by ignorantly hitting mana.”

Dozens of threads were held in both Richard’s and Aaron’s hands.

This is the mana control training method that Leo invented.

The first step is to infuse mana into all threads.

Giving mana to dozens of objects at once is no easy feat.

This is especially true for small, fine objects such as thread.

Leo added one more condition to this.

He was given a thread made of the hair of a monster with high mana resistance, Creep.

So, it was natural for Richard and Aaron to be covered in sweat.

“Concentrate.”

Leo looked at the two of them with a bewildered look.

Usually, he only smiled with a friendly smile, but after he started training, he was no different from a tiger.

Whirik-!

Ten of the threads Richard was holding floated into the air.

Soon, drops of sweat ran down his cheeks, and at the same time, the thread lay down on the floor.

Richard, who frowned as if he didn’t like something, continued to concentrate his concentration.

‘… … The master’s progress is faster than I thought.’

Leo looked at Richard and shook his head.

‘It must have been recently that mana insensitivity was cured.’

The penalty Richard was facing was fatal.

Those who have felt and cherished mana since childhood, and those who have just begun to accumulate mana in their mana hearts.

The latter was a condition inevitably different from mana affinity.

That is why he taught Richard this training method.

I had thought of it as a method of training that might seem rather vague, but his growth exceeded expectations.

‘Is it because of the mana attribute?’

Richard’s mana, holy power, was certainly different from normal mana.

A much more manageable and well-behaved animal, like a docile sheep.

An ideal mana attribute for Richard.

It could have been a blessing.

‘Compared to that… … .’

Aaron, he looked at the middle-class knight of the 3rd Knights, whom the cunning boy secretly invited to participate in the training.

At first, I only intended to teach Richard.

Even though he’s the leader of the knights, isn’t it hurting his pride to pass on his teachings to just anyone?

However, pretending to be unable to win against Richard’s annoyance, Aaron’s mana, which he roughly checked, was shocking.

At first glance, it seemed like normal mana, but Leo was able to recognize it at once.

That something very ferocious and ferocious was hiding deep within Aaron’s mana.

Needless to say, it was a mana attribute.

To think that another possessor of that rare attribute was right in front of you!

‘How amazing.’

Leo’s curiosity wriggled once more.

-Aaron’s characteristics will show their power only when they are formed in the form of an aura.

Richard said to him who was unable to speak in surprise.

Eventually, Leo became interested in Aaron as well.

Of course, perhaps because of that grotesque trait, Aaron was having great difficulty controlling mana.

It’s been a week since I started training, but I can’t even move five strands, let alone ten threads.

A sad light passed through Leo’s eyes.

‘If you jump over that wall, you’ll grow by several levels.’

It was when Leo was looking at Aaron.

Whirly-!

A strong voice came from Richard’s side. When I turned my head and looked, I saw fourteen strands of thread embroidering the air.

“her… … .”

It was clearly Richard, who had been shedding thick drops of sweat on only ten strands just a moment ago.

Now, he was infusing mana quite leisurely.

The corners of Leo’s mouth went up slightly at the rapid growth.

Aaron is also Aaron, but it was the young boy who stimulated his interest the most.

“Take more control. If the thread is shaking, it means that mana is unstable.”

At Leo’s point, Richard pouted wordlessly.

At that moment, Richard’s thread fell to the floor as if he had lost his concentration.

“Didn’t I tell you to concentrate?”

“… … Ah, suddenly, for some reason, my mind went wild.”

Richard opened his closed eyes and let out a disgruntled voice.

A system window appeared before his eyes.

『Special skill – Mana control proficiency has increased.』

『Current proficiency level F → E』

On the 5th day of training, I got the Mana Control skill.

Richard’s growth was the result of an increase in his proficiency.

‘It’s definitely efficient.’

Richard thought while looking at the threads in his hand.

At first, I thought it was nothing, but unlike what it looks like, it was a very arduous and difficult training method.

As such, the fast-growing mana control was quite sweet.

If you invest faith and continue training, you might be able to achieve A rank sooner.

Richard turned his head to look at Aaron.

With his teeth clenched, Aaron’s whole body, which gave mana to the thread, was covered with sweat.

pick-

The four strands of thread that had struggled to raise its head fell down.

I have to deal with the auror in two months.

From noble mtl dot com

The pressure Aaron feels must be considerable.

After staring at him for a moment, Richard opened his mouth to Leo.

“Sir Leo.”

“yes.”

“Let’s change places for a moment.”
