The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant - The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant chapter 103

New Cogs (3)

The king was interested in the news that came after he was dealing with state affairs.

“Allen Esteban, did he have a personal attendant?”

“That’s right.”

“hmm. The guy who refused even the escort knight hired a personal attendant… … .”

Is it thrifty or hates trouble… … .

He was the first prince who had never shown such a movement except when he appointed an aide candidate.

However, the fact that the first prince directly brought in a personal attendant was enough to be of interest to the king.

“Yes, in order to adapt to state service, you do need an attendant to manage personally. What kind of person did you say this time?”

“It is said that he is an ascetic wizard brought from the Mage Tower.”

“hmm? Magic Tower?”

The king tilted his head at the attendant’s words. Was there any reason for the wizards to bring an attendant from the Mage Tower?

“If so, which family did you say you were a descendant of?”

“That is… … .”

The attendant blurted out his words as if embarrassed, then carefully opened his mouth.

“Looking at his background, which is unclear, he is probably a commoner.”

“… … also?”

“That’s right.”

“her.”

It was an area that was completely incomprehensible from the king’s point of view.

Wide and wide are the nobles, so how could they leave them behind and hire commoners?

“… … What a quirk.”

“… … That’s right.”

The two nodded their heads at the same time as if they had promised.

Those actions that popped up from time to time were literally a situation that could only be described as eccentricity.

But oddly enough, if that judgment was wrong, I would say that it is not.

‘The black magic plan I broke this time was also revealed thanks to his eccentricity.’

The connection between black magic and plague was so shocking that it was not disclosed to the public.

However, the king knew better than anyone else that this was not a light job either.

Because of this, he shook his head excitedly, but did not blame his son for his actions.

“Yeah, he’ll do just fine. Not to mention, he’s probably brighter when it comes to circumstances inside the Magic Tower.”

“Since the Lord also appeared together, it must have something to do with him.”

“hmm. As expected, this time too, it is not a completely unfounded judgment.”

… … Then it is.

The Mage Master was a great wizard who would go down in Esteban’s history. I could guess that there was a reason just because I had a relationship with him.

The king smiled happily and looked at the attendant.

“But doesn’t that mean that the owner of the Mage Tower and guy Allen were both interested? There must be some unknown talent, but why has such a person not been known until now?”

“Ah, that’s probably because of the age of the person I took as an attendant.”

“age?”

“They say they’ll be fifteen this year.”

“… … .”

The king felt dizzy and grabbed his forehead.

… … Sure enough, it was a stroke of luck.

George was busy taking care of the successor he had accidentally taken on.

But that was when looking at it from a distance. To be precise, that was what others saw.

“Hey, what do you do with the letters that arrive in the office?”

“… … Throw it away.”

“Big! Contrary to his fierce expression, this guy is quite smart.”

The guy stroked his chin and gave a satisfied smile, as if he was satisfied with his education.

The sight of him raising his glasses before long was truly spectacle.

“Keep in mind. Once you throw it away, the baron will take care of it. Just keep that in mind.”

“… … huh.”

“Then what was the exception?”

“An expensive-looking letter.”

“hmm! Perfect.”

He looked at me with such an elated expression.

His face seemed to ask if he had seen it, so I opened my mouth with a feeling that I couldn’t even laugh.

“Apart from that pitiful way of teaching, wasn’t that your job?”

“No. Even when I was working at the upper level, it was customary for a subordinate to do the dirty work.”

“A very convenient excuse. The baron will be very happy to hear it.”

“… … .”

Only then did the boy avert his gaze with stinging eyes. But even so, that useless education seems to continue.

“Kuhm! follow me This time, senior Lee is fooling around. No, I will tell you a place where you can enjoy a little leisure.”

“… … huh.”

When the new face of the royal family and a bastard left, the noisy office finally quieted down.

And it was Baron Vidor who came just in time.

“A new wind has finally blown in this office. Roel, I ordered a sword for that child to use.”

“The form must have been as I said, right?”

“That’s right. As you said, it is the type of rapier that is suitable for that child.”

“hmm.”

At first, swordsmanship was taught in the form of the universally used longsword.

Its unique, well-balanced form has become a useful textbook not only for adults but also for children.

In fact, most of Esteban’s knights had been training with the long sword.

The problem was that the guy’s body was abnormally small.

Even considering the fact that he was a commoner everywhere before entering the Mage Tower and that he was still young, he was too small.

If so, would George, as well as the baron, have expressed surprise upon hearing his age?

‘The bigger problem is the power.’

In the previous match, it was visible that he was trying to be swung by the weight of the sword instead of enduring it.

I didn’t mention it, but it was much weaker than children of my age.

That was the reason I chose a sword in the form of a rapier.

“If it’s a rapier, it’s light enough that even that guy can use it. Especially with the touch of the dwarves, not only can you get rid of the weakness called hardness, but you can also lighten the weight a little.”

“But Your Highness, are you all right? Rapiers are taught in a different way from normal swords… … .”

“There is no weapon that I cannot handle.”

“… … ah!”

The baron suddenly realized who the man sitting in front of him was.

A transcendentalist who had already reached the level of a master, the form of arms was meaningless to such a man.

In fact, I too have experienced numerous martial arts while leading the battlefield.

The rapier was, in a sense, a common weapon.

From the prestigious Bonaparte family of the empire to the lightning-like swordsmanship of a distant continent.

In my head, there was already an optimal sword path created by disassembling the sword techniques I had personally experienced.

“It should be enough to make them learn the swordsmanship that suits them. Because they are already finished.”

“… … indeed.”

Above all, swordsmanship was meaningless.

As a result, swordsmanship was just an additional element, and the true purpose was to teach how to blossom that talent.

In that sense. The rapier, which made it possible to stab at explosive speed, could rather be an element that supports that element.

“When will the sword arrive?”

“It is said that the priority of the work has been set as the highest priority, so you should be able to receive the sword within six days.”

“Right.”

The corners of my mouth began to rise slowly.

“I look forward to it.”

A talent of a completely different dimension that will bloom with my hands.

The unique fun I felt for the first time after the regression was enough to make me look forward to it.

As planned, they arrived at the royal castle before the six black days they had sent from the plains of Galderd had passed.

The baron’s expression brightened as he looked at the arrival of the sword.

“It is beautiful.”

A pure white blade with thin width and thickness.

Below that, a cross guard that blends with the grip and takes on the shape of a graceful starlight.

If there was a star shining bright in the dark, would it look like that?

I was very satisfied with the form of abandoning the slash attack and focusing entirely on the reach of the stab.

I immediately called Roel into the office and had him listen to it.

“Lift up and move your right arm.”

Shuuk- Shuuk-

“oh… … !”

Fortunately, the guy picked it up and wielded it easily.

Although the length was adjusted, there was a feeling of cumbersomeness due to its small body.

But at least this won’t be a problem with time.

“Then I will teach you swordsmanship in earnest.”

The guy also nodded his head with a slightly reddened face, probably liking the beauty of the sword.

So I came down to the training ground with him. Then, he looked at Roel and asked.

“Your talent is that you can manifest a greater power with a small amount of magical power. Amplification and expression, you know?”

“… … yes.”

“But you must have also learned from the previous sparring that it is meaningless if you can’t hit that magic.”

“… … .”

The guy shook his head with an expression that he didn’t know whether he understood or not.

But if you don’t understand, that doesn’t matter.

I picked up a suitable sword from the floor of the smoke room.

It was a very long sword, close to Zweihender.

“Then it is simple. If it is difficult to match magic, it is enough to melt it into swordsmanship.”

“… … .”

“Just like this.”

swish-!!

Koo Goo Goo!

In an instant, the sword stretched out into the air in the blink of an eye and was slashed, creating an enormous shockwave.

The speed was so fast that not only did waves that seemed to burn flesh flow out, but it felt like the space around the sword was distorting.

Rather, judging from the late sound, it was said that it was a stab at least close to the speed of sound.

From noble mtl dot com.

It would be hard to believe that it was done with that huge and heavy sword.

“… … ah.”

Roel blinked his eyes with his upper body slightly bent.

Like that or not, I said in an insensitive tone as I slowly lowered the stabbed sword.

“Like a knight’s aura, put that energy into your sword. And if you say it before the other person reacts, that’s it.”

“… … .”

“What is this fuss about?”

At that time, I heard the frightened voice of the baron who had finished cleaning up and came down.

Soon after, the baron widened his eyes as he saw the training ground that had become a mess due to the sword wind.

“U-ho, did any monsters appear?”

“If you’re going to watch, don’t make a fuss and stay there.”

“Ha, but… … .”

Of course, I didn’t want this power to be connoted to someone who was not even basic.

Even putting magical power into the sword. Even throwing a sword. Because I haven’t learned anything yet.

So I calmly put down my sword and continued talking.

“Today, let’s learn stabbing, which is the most basic of swordsmanship you will use. However, I have no intention of simply learning swordsmanship.”

Whoa!

In an instant, the magic imprint on my right arm began releasing stored mana.

Then, the densely formed magic powers that were visible around them created a hemispherical shield.

‘… … The distance is about 10 meters.’

Not only Roel, but even the baron watching, tilted their heads as if wondering.

I smiled slowly and said to Roel.

“Can you spread your magical energy like a gigam to break the protective shield in this distance?”

“… … no.”

“Then, the first training is to destroy the protective shield from a distance. Of course, stabbing practice will be done in parallel.”

A look of bewilderment appeared on Roel’s face.

I just said it was impossible. He thought it was absurd that he had to practice thrusting along with mana management.

There was no way that common sense would allow mana to be used wildly.

However, that would have been impossible only in the theoretical realm of ‘magic’.

“Abandon stereotypical theories.”

Like being able to spread aura during battle. Being different in terms of mana was just an excuse.

It will take time for that series of actions to become natural, but it’s worth doing.

The person who taught it was a man who had reached the pinnacle of all knights.

“Remember. You will now be reborn as a knight, not a wizard.”
