◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (97)

A month later, the old man who had first brought Lian to the border returned there.

Because I couldn’t just ignore the young man’s words asking me to come back in a month.

“……Haha, the old man is being reckless.”

But strangely enough, I couldn’t just ignore what the young man said.

Thanks to that, I came all the way here and stood like this for more than half a day.

The old man got back into the carriage with a bitter expression on his face.

I’m an old man who’s just waiting for the day I die anyway, so I don’t regret the time, but

‘I wanted to see you again, what a pity.’

Well, I felt like I wanted to meet that young man again.

But that too is now a useless thought.

The old man turned the carriage around again to go back. At that moment,

“Where are you going?”

“……?”

Before the carriage had even made it halfway around, someone’s voice was heard clearly.

The old man turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

“……Heh heh.”

I saw the young man I broke up with a month ago. And,

“What, what the heck is this…….”

“There are a few more people, right?”

“That…… Ah…….”

The old man simply felt speechless.

Because there were literally hundreds of people standing behind where the young man was standing.

Then Lian said.

“It’s starting to arrive now.”

“……?”

The old man tilted his head at Lian’s words.

What else is coming?

Maybe 5 minutes had passed since then?

It seemed as if a rustling sound was heard, and soon dozens of people appeared again from afar.

Everyone was wearing armor, and the one riding the horse in front approached and spoke to Lian.

“I’ve come to pick you up, Commander.”

“You’re not late, thank you for coming.

Lian said, looking at Brandt, who was at the very front. Then Kyle, who came with him, burst out laughing.

“Hehehe, did you finish your work well?”

“okay.”

Lian smiled pleasantly and said to Herilda.

“They will guide you. Come together.”

“What about Lian?”

“I have to go with this person.”

Lian got into the carriage of the old man who brought her.

“Brant, take them to Kurtain as instructed. And Kyle, you……”

Swish.

Lian said as he looked at the nearly four hundred thieves.

Even though they’ve been stripped of their weapons and their hands tied, you never know when they’ll run wild.

Lian said to Kyle.

“If you feel like rebelling, do as you see fit. There will be no punishment, no matter what happens.”

Everyone knows what ‘no matter what’ means.

Kyle too, and the thieves too.

Kyle let out a low laugh.

“Hehehe, I guess I can take you with me comfortably.”

Kyle got off his horse and looked at Jekaline at the front.

The only surviving captain of the Black Ogre.

Jekaline flinched as Kyle approached.

Although Jekaline is quite tall, she momentarily cringed when Kyle, who was over 190cm tall, approached her.

Kyle said to Jekaline.

“If you get bored, just tell me. I’ll smash your head in.”

“Oh, no.”

Jekalin, who is quietly closing her eyes.

Kyle quickly turned around and shouted.

“Okay, then let’s go!”

With that shout, Brandt and Kyle started leaving, leading the people away.

And Lian, who was left alone, looked at the old man who came to pick her up and said.

“I have a place to go.”

“Where should I go……?”

The old man asked cautiously. Lian answered briefly.

“It’s the capital.”

Is it almost over for you now?

* * *

If there was a rumor that would shake the kingdom, it would be this.

Everyone in the Silver Knights, as well as the knights within the kingdom, were shocked by the absurd incident that occurred in the Silver Knights.

Outsider.

An outsider who was thought to be nothing but a nobody made it to the Silver Knights’ biggest event, the promotion exam finals.

Yes, there have been instances in the past where outsiders have achieved high rankings in the Silver Knight promotion exams.

However, these were only knights who already had outstanding skills or held a similar position.

Additionally, most of them were five years older than the average age of the Silver Knights, which was 20 years old.

Since he came with a long career, experience, and skills, he would have been able to produce good results within Silver Knight.

But this time it was different.

“……It’s the final.”

“Isn’t this the first time an outsider has made it to the finals?”

The Silver Knights are a place where aspiring knights from noble families gather.

In fact, it is a place where the powerful people in the kingdom gather to obtain special privileges to go to higher places.

Therefore, those who were selected as the top ten in the promotion test were those who had skills comparable to at least the middle level or the top level of any knight order in the kingdom.

But this outsider was different from the ones in the past.

Only 17 years old.

This was because he was three years younger than the average age of the Silver Knights and the youngest among those who advanced to the final round of the promotion examination.

Although he had an unusual background, how could he be compared to those who had received elite education and support from their families since childhood?

But Isaac shattered everyone’s expectations and made it to the finals of the Silver Knight promotion trials without allowing a single right-handed hit.

“I thought you’d come up. This is the best result since an outsider came to Silver Knight.”

“We will try to end this great achievement with a win.”

Isaac answered Shark’s words calmly.

Sling.

And Isaac drew his two swords. Shark also drew his sword.

At that moment, a crushing silence began to fall over the stadium.

Those who were watching also watched the two people with bated breath.

It had to be that way.

Shark had already been known for his skills among the nobles for several years.

Shark Bartheon.

The Barseon family, which rose to the rank of Marquis in the past and then fell to the rank of Baron.

He was praised as someone who could restore the status of the Barseon family.

That is why the Barseon family did not spare any support from the moment Shark’s potential was revealed.

Why else would they spend astronomical amounts of money to purchase and learn the excellent magical techniques of other families?

Of course, this led to the creation of a political marriage partner.

Shark also did not disappoint his family’s expectations.

Rather, I decided to train harder and harder and bring honor to my family.

Swish.

Shark’s eyes became cold and sank.

There was not a shred of hesitation in the eyes that stared at Isaac.

Twenty years have already passed since I first took up the sword.

Twenty-three.

Now isn’t the best stage prepared for you to prove yourself?

Just this once.

I will definitely win and seize the glory at the end.

Shark exhaled lightly.

Pot-!

The first one to move was Shark.

Knock!

Shark’s sword, which had been running quickly across the ground, extended towards Isaac.

It’s a stab that’s been done hundreds, thousands of times.

It’s perfect, needless to say.

Fit-!

Before Shark’s sword could even touch Isaac’s body, Isaac suddenly disappeared from sight.

‘fast……!’

I’ve already seen Isaac fight several times.

Because I’ve seen every match he’s fought in since the finals.

I thought it was fast when I saw it from outside the stadium, but when I experienced it in person, it was beyond my imagination.

Ding-!

Shark quickly retrieved his sword and spun to the right, blocking Isaac’s attack.

But his attack wasn’t just one time.

Shake-!

Isaac’s sword slashed toward Shark’s opposite flank with a sound like the air was being torn apart.

It happened so simultaneously that it felt like a huge wild beast was turning its head to the side and biting me.

‘Can’t stop it… …!’

At that moment, Shark’s eyes flashed and he kicked Isaac in the chest.

Because if we couldn’t stop them, we planned to attack together.

puck!

bang!

After the promotion test, Isaac rolled on the floor for the first time.

Isaac had never allowed anyone to attack him until now, but Shark’s attack just now was bold and sharp.

However, from Shark’s perspective, the damage was greater.

“Huh-!”

Unlike Isaac, who rolled over and got up from his seat, Shark grabbed his right side with a look of considerable pain on his face.

Because there was an impact that felt like a crack in my ribs from the attack a little while ago.

But I couldn’t keep making that stupid expression.

Because Isaac, who had bounced up like a spring, was already running towards me again.

‘I will never… … give up!’

Shark also started to run towards Isaac.

* * *

Slowly, slowly.

Lian, who had entered Allendrian without realizing it, looked outside from inside the carriage.

Because memories of the past flashed through my mind, the events here came back vividly.

‘It’s been a while.’

I haven’t been to the capital very often, but I still remember it vividly because I have so many strong memories.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Lian hurriedly got out.

I barely made it to the date, but I had a feeling that I might be late.

“We have arrived, Your Majesty.”

“Thank you, sir. Thanks to you, I was able to make it on time.”

“But what’s going on in the capital…….”

“My beloved younger sibling is taking an exam.”

“A test? I don’t know what it is, but I hope you get good results.”

Lian smiled slightly at the old man’s words.

“I hope we can meet again someday.”

“Hehe, if it’s fate, won’t we meet again?”

“Please go back carefully.”

Lian handed the old man a small pouch and walked away.

If my memory serves me right, the Silver Knight promotion test will be held right there.

Lian, who had been walking quickly, soon started running because even that wasn’t enough.

* * *

Wow-!

Well, the match between Shark and Janiel before was also quite intense, but the atmosphere was a little different then.

The match between Shark and Janiel was truly a meeting point. It felt like a tight tug-of-war between two knights with different styles.

But now the match between Shark and Isaac,

“……oh my god.”

“Hehehe, am I seeing it right?”

“I hate to admit it, but I feel like I have to.”

The instructors who were watching the match seemed to have somewhat relieved their surprised expressions.

The instructor, who had been laughing out loud, turned his head and looked at Instructor Arcon.

The only person who predicted the outcome of the match differently. However,

“Instructor Archon, I think you might be right.”

“…….”

Although he said that what he said was correct, Instructor Arkon couldn’t just laugh.

This is because he also knows how talented aspiring knight Shark is.

But that kid… …what on earth is he talking about?

Phew!

“Ugh!”

Shark staggered back after being hit in the stomach by Isaac.

He quickly raised his sword and looked at Isaac, but Isaac just stood there and looked at Shark.

“Ugh…… Ugh…… Ugh…… Ugh…….”

Before I knew it, my breathing had reached the tip of my chin, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

Has the thin armor on your body ever felt this heavy?

Shark looked at Isaac.

The same calm expression as before.

Judging by the slightly shaking chest of the guy, it is true that he is also under physical pressure.

But that’s all.

After successfully kicking Isaac in the stomach the first time, he hadn’t landed a single proper punch on him.

An overwhelming difference in power.

Of course, Shark was holding up well, but he was literally just holding on.

As time passed, the gap became more and more evident, and it was quite some time before the cheers of the watching audience could be heard.

An unusual event taking place in the kingdom.

In the scene, people were quietly watching the match between the two people, holding their breath.

Isaac stared at Shark.

‘He is a strong person.’

To be frank, he is the strongest opponent I have faced since coming to Silver Knight.

And by an overwhelming margin.

Even compared to his unit members, Shark alone would be able to take on two or three dozen soldiers.

but,

“Do you surrender?”

Isaac asked Shark, but Shark shook his head.

“absoluteness.”

“I thought so.”

Isaac picked up the two swords that had been hanging down.

I know that he is an unbreakable person anyway.

You can tell his character just by looking at how he has managed to block his attacks so far.

‘I’m finishing it this time.’

Just looking at his breathing, which is not properly controlled, you can tell that he has reached his physical limit.

Any further delay would only be disrespectful to him.

Swish.

Isaac lowered his stance, holding the sword on his left in reverse.

Shark’s eyes shook momentarily as if they were about to jump out at any moment.

Because Isaac’s momentum felt different than before.

“What the heck is this…?”

Suddenly, a tingling sensation as if my whole body was being stabbed by invisible needles came over me. Shhhhh!

Isaac ran towards Shark.

* * *

The arena where the Silver Knight’s promotion test is held.

When Lian arrived there, she could see Isaac on the stadium.

A situation where you can tell the winner or loser at a glance.

And then, suddenly, Isaac lowered his stance and held the sword in one hand in reverse, and Lian’s expression changed slightly.

“……That guy?”

Lian’s gaze turned to the person across from him.

‘Is there a guy in Silver Knight that Isaac really needs to fight against…?’

Lian knows what level Isaac is at now.

I know that the Silver Knights are an exceptionally excellent unit within the kingdom, but only as a unit that trains aspiring knights.

No matter how strong they are, there is no one who can reach Isaac now.

But Isaac, at this last moment, truly entered the battle.

Another person who entered Lian’s sight at that moment.

“……uh?”

Why is that person there?
