The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (62)

Free Trade City Pyleus (2)

Benio went to the swordsmanship hall for dawn training, and there he saw Radritsh, who had arrived before him and was already swinging his sword so much that his clothes were soaked, and he snickered.

“Radish.”

“Senior.”

When Benio called his name from behind, Radritsch turned around and bowed his head. Benio looked at Radritsch’s hair, which was shining with sweat, and spoke to him.

“Does it hurt that much?”

“….”

“You must know that you can’t live your whole life winning the moment you pick up a sword. Don’t be so hard on yourself.”

Radritsh bit his lips. Radritsh still couldn’t accept his defeat. That’s because he was young.

However, that does not mean that Radritsch does not admit his defeat. Radritsch was clearly eliminated from the preliminary round due to his lack of skill.

Radritsh was greatly shocked simply by his own shortcomings.

“I thought I would win.”

“You took it easy Severus.”

“No. I didn’t take Senior Severus lightly. It’s just that, as the son of the Sword Master, I thought I absolutely had to win.”

The third place in the preliminary competition was ultimately taken by Severus. In the third and fourth place match, Radlish lost to Severus by a very small margin.

That defeat must have been quite a bitter pill for Radritsh. Coming out so early in the morning and swinging his sword means that he has complicated feelings.

This is not the first defeat for Radritsh.

However, all of the opponents Radritsh has defeated so far have been clearly superior to him.

Even if you just look at Benio right in front of you, he was a genius who had developed his aura in just a few months.

But not Severus.

Up until now, Radritsh had never lost a duel against someone of similar skill level to him. That’s why he was confident that no one, except for Lumen and Benio, could beat him.

But I lost.

The reason was simple.

Because Severus was stronger than him.

“Look at this guy.”

bean!

At that moment, Benio grabbed Radritsch’s head. Radritsch unconsciously grabbed his head and jumped up. That was because it was a honey-punch hit with a lot of force.

“Why, why are you doing this, senior?”

“Did the swordsman teach you to turn the aura like that?”

“Ugh.”

Radritsh realized this after hearing Benio’s words. This was because the small mana within the Aura Hole that had begun to form little by little was shaking unstably.

Mana Reflux.

It was only later that they realized that this phenomenon, which was tantamount to a death sentence for those who dealt with auras, was about to occur.

If it weren’t for Benio, the Auror Hall that was just starting to take shape might have been destroyed. If that happened, Radlish would never be able to hold a sword again.

“Thank you, senior.”

Radritsch blushed as he realized his own shame. He realized how shaken he had been.

“Radish, you’re only twelve. A freshman. If Severus, who’s five years older than you, had lost to you, it would have been even more miserable for him.”

“….”

There was a gap of five years between Radlish and Severus. In a period of growth where each day is different, these five years are a gap that can never be narrowed.

However, Radritsch had already reached a similar level of skill as Severus at that point. Those who had been defeated by Radritsch and eliminated would have grabbed him by the scruff of the neck if they had heard this.

Not knowing that, Radrit continued to cry.

It’s not that she really cried, it’s just that Benio saw it that way.

“At this time, jump in. At this time, you should struggle to improve your skills even a little. This isn’t the end. You have to win next time.”

Benio swung his wooden sword around. Radritsh gritted his teeth at Benio’s words.

I had no intention of giving up here. I definitely wanted to grow up and return to Geomgongryeong to show my father and older brother that I had grown.

That’s why I entered the academy.

To show that he can do well on his own, free from the shadow of the insurmountable barrier and the shadow of his superior brother.

So I had no intention of giving up here.

“Hey, man!”

Radritsch raised his sword and rushed at Benio, creating a gust of wind.

“Severus.”

Severus was about to leave the dormitory to do the dawn training he had been doing every day with Benio, Lumen, and Radlish when he heard a familiar voice calling him.

“Aker, Honor.”

Aker and Honor.

They were close friends known as the Guardians’ Three Musketeers along with Severus. However, their relationship has recently become distant. This started when Severus began spending more time with Benio and Giovanni.

“Are you going out to train?”

“hmm.”

Severus took on the role of leader among the three musketeers, as he was the perfect balance between the hot-tempered and impetuous Aker and the quiet Honor.

But the reason they grew apart was because Aker and Honor didn’t understand Severus hanging out with people like Benio.

“What are you doing at this early hour?”

Severus looked up and down at Acher and Honor. They should have been deep in dreamland at this hour. But they were holding wooden swords and wearing training clothes.

“Well, we want to practice too.”

Honor said this to Severus. Then Severus’ eyes widened. Severus’s efforts to break the prejudice against Benio while practicing together at dawn were not working.

But then, for some reason, Aker and Honor approached first.

“I see. You guys also realized something after watching the preliminary round. Right?”

Aker and Honor also participated in the preliminary round. However, they were eliminated. Severus spoke to Aker with a faint smile on his face.

“It seems like it was quite a shock for you to be eliminated by a freshman?”

“Ugh.”

Aker and Honor both lost to Radritsh. Radritsh, who made it to the semifinals in the preliminary round as a freshman, is a genius beyond the norm.

However, hearing about a genius through rumors and actually encountering him were completely different things. Even Severus was shocked.

“How did you win?”

“That’s right. Our skills were similar.”

The two seemed curious about that. Severus smiled. The three of them had been best friends since childhood, holding swords together.

They grew up together, entered the academy together, and as vassals of the Marquis Meyer, they aspired to become knights of the Marquis Meyer.

So even though he had been wishing for them for a while, they were still Severus’ own friends.

‘That’s right. I’m just telling them the way since they asked first.’

Severus masturbated to himself, then smiled brightly and told Acher and Honor.

“I’ll tell you how. Let’s go together.”

“…okay.”

“okay.”

Although the place where they were going together was the swordsmanship hall where Mangjong Benio was, Aker and Honor did not object like before and refused to go.

This was because they were shocked when they saw Severus, who had been similar to them, defeat Radritsh, who had eliminated them, and participate in the exchange match.

There is a clash between Lumen and Benio in the final match.

If you have eyes that see that, and if you wear the name tag of a student of the Swordsmanship College, you must admit that the old Mangjong Benio no longer exists.

The blindness caused by prejudice and stubbornness only lasted until just before the preliminary round. Benio, who had achieved the unbelievable feat of being the top student in the swordsmanship department and the second top student in the magic department, could no longer be called the worst dullard or a loser.

Benio is a new star.

So, if there is something to see and learn, you should learn it. That way, you can narrow the gap in skill between you and your friends.

Boom, boom boom!

But as soon as I arrived in front of the swordsmanship hall, I couldn’t help but stop as I felt an earthquake-like vibration and an explosion.

Then a welcome voice was heard.

“Severus! Acher! Honor! The three Guardians have all gathered!”

It was Lumen, who would become their master in the future. Lumen approached them with brisk strides and spread his arms wide as if he was glad that they had come this far.

“Welcome. Trying to improve is an essential virtue for a knight. Come on in. It will be more helpful if we train together.”

When Lumen said that, they couldn’t just stand still. Aker and Honor followed Lumen into the fencing arena.

Looking at the backs of the two, Severus tried to ignore the guilt that was making him raise his head and muttered to himself.

‘Because I said I wanted to become stronger. It would be good if we all became stronger together. And since they asked me to tell them first, I’m not at fault.’

Aker and Honor entered the fencing arena without even realizing that Severus was doing this behind them, and their mouths opened slightly without them realizing it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This was because Radritsh’s greatsword flew through the air with only pure muscle power, and every time it collided with Benio’s wooden sword, a sound like air bursting echoed.

“Hey, is that a sparring match?”

“How can it be considered sparring when you act like you’re going to kill each other…?”

Despite his immature physique, Radritsch swung a greatsword the size of his torso. However, Benio blocked it with his skewer-like wooden sword.

Yet, there was no sign of him being weak or struggling.

rather.

Wedge!

Boom boom boom!

Every time the light-speed stab shown in the final selection burst out from the wooden sword in Benio’s hand, Radlish was pushed back along with the greatsword, fell down with a thud, and then got up repeatedly.

“end.”

Kuang!

“Ugh!”

Radritshu dropped his greatsword and fell backwards. With his hands off his weapon, the duel was over. At that moment, Lumen, who had entered first, grabbed his spear and charged straight at Benio.

“It’s my turn now!”

Shhh!

Lumen’s thrusts unfolded with momentum no less than in the finals. Benio dodged the attack by just taking a step back.

Aker and Honor realized it the moment they saw it.

The reason why Severus suddenly became so strong, and why the freshman Radlish defeated the upperclassmen.

‘Oh, crazy. Sparring like a real fight. It can’t be helped if you do this kind of thing all the time.’

‘Whoaaaa.’

No one in the academy teaches you to train and spar this brutally. That’s why the cadets receive education and train just to that level.

But this wasn’t the place.

They engaged in a fierce, near-real-life sparring match, even though no one had ordered them to do so. At that moment, Aker and Honor saw Severus, who had entered last, draw his wooden sword and rush toward Radritsh.

“What the hell.”

Aker unconsciously placed his hand on his chest.

When I see Lumen or Benio fighting like they are from another world, I don’t even feel a sense of triumph. That’s because they are people with talents that are on a completely different level from mine.

But not Radritsh and Severus.

Radritsch is a freshman, only twelve years old, and Severus is a friend who was of similar skill until recently.

It means that they are an opponent they can surpass.

They were swinging their weapons at each other as if they were in a real fight, revealing their will to live. When Aker saw that, he felt his heart pounding.

I wondered if there was any special method, but there was no special method.

Aker and Honor knew it too. They had only actually seen it with their own eyes. And as one of those who held the sword, it would be strange if their blood did not boil when they saw such a thing.

“Honor.”

“uh?”

“I’m going too.”

“Aker! Aker!”

Aker came between Radritsh and Severus with his sword in hand. What had been a one-on-one duel had turned into a multi-person duel. Honor, who was watching, was also a helpless teenage boy.

“I’m going too!”

A hot-blooded teenager who can’t stand seeing things like that without getting involved because his blood boils.

A new member has joined Benio’s swordsmanship school.
