Chapter 27

Chapter 27. Results of the princess's swordsmanship remodeling plan (1) It wasn't long before King Theonel heard rumors that Arell was teaching swordsmanship to his older sister, the second princess Cania.

The girl holding the wooden sword and the figure of him continuing to teach something while looking at it caught the attention of the ladies-in-waiting and soldiers, and rumors naturally spread.

“Is it that Kania is receiving swordsmanship instruction from Arell?”

“yes. It is so.”

The king's exclusive butler, Jenefel, replied.

The king, who was puzzled by the rumors of the soldiers and court ladies, ordered him to check it out himself.

“Hmm... I certainly knew that that child had been studying the theory of swordsmanship for some time.”

I was well aware that Arell had recently been asking about textbooks on swordsmanship or articles about Aurors, and I had already heard it from him.

However, the king did not hold much hope for his youngest son's behavior this time.

It does not mean that he is not interested in the youngest prince.

‘No matter how smart I am, I can't master swordsmanship only with theory.'

Swordsmanship was, after all, the realm of knights.

It is the realm of the body.

I thought it was an area that could not be reached with only the talent of civil servants.

In particular, as he built his body through hard training in his youth and still boasts strong muscles, he believes that swordsmanship can only be reached through hard training.

It is even more difficult to imagine that a child with a weak body will realize something by studying.

‘Even though this body allowed it....

However, it was only to the extent that I allowed it to learn and see it once because I was interested and also a very smart child.

I expected to give up soon after.

“...When you see it, are you teaching it properly?”

If you learn swordsmanship even a little wrong, it will remain as a weakness for the rest of your life.

Of course, since Kania was a princess, it wouldn't be a problem if she didn't reach such a high level, but she didn't want to learn the sword incorrectly.

In response to his concern, he gave Jennefel a meaningful smile.

“The 2nd princess has awakened her aura.”

“...is that enough?”

It was hard to believe.

Was it simply a theory that taught the young princess to awaken her aura?

It was at the age of 18 that even he first realized his aura.

And Crown Prince Jeil also realized his Aura at the age of 20.

Those two were also regarded as considerable geniuses within the kingdom.

“Are you sure Genga?”

“I saw it with my own eyes.”

“That's... that's amazing.”

The king was sincerely impressed.

“He awakened his auror with the theories he developed...

he murmured in a low voice.

Although it was only a small voice, there was something deeply anguished in his eyes.

“Would you like to see it for yourself?”

As if reading his intentions, the old butler asks. He seemed to be thinking for a moment, but the king shook his head.

“No. You are still watching.”

Now is just the time to pretend not to notice yet. he judged it that way.

“Now let him do what he wants.”

I even gave him permission to do whatever he wanted. If so, it would be wise to observe more.

It's still time to put up with going to meet.

As he said that, there was quite a bit of anticipation for his son in his eyes.

“I can’t wait to see what the outcome will be.”

Three months have passed since full-scale training began.

I watch Kania noona from the side as she concentrates her mind with her sword raised.

In just three months, the aura rising from Kania's sister's sword became clear.

Compared to the others, the color is much stronger.

I'd say it's closer to cobalt blue.

It is proof that the purity of mana is high and the output is strong.

If you go to the next stage, Aura Expert, that level of talent is even more valuable.

Even in the kingdom, there were less than thirty knights who had reached the level of expert.

Expert superlative? even more precious

As far as I know, there are only two masters in the kingdom.

The higher you go up, the harder it is to reach that level, and the talents who reach that level are inevitably precious.

In that sense, Kania noona's growth was by no means slow.

It is only natural that the knights who watched our training would be astonished every day that a beginner who had just awakened to an aura had jumped to that level in such a short period of time.

Even being overtaken by a flower-like girl, some of the knights seemed to be swallowed up with a sense of shame.

that's not what i know

If you're just that frustrated, then you're done.

The bottom line is that my sister's growth is not smooth, so there is nothing strange about hearing that it is a foul pace.

However, in the eyes of the former professional, that is still not enough.

It's far from the standard I was aiming for in the first place.

You have to grow up a little bit more.

“Are you too blocked?”

When I asked, Kania nodded after hesitating.

“This ideal seems difficult, but she seems to be feeling a wall right now.

After all, since I grew up in a short period of time, I feel like I've hit a wall.

“No matter how you swing it!”

Raise your sword.

A deep blue light was reflected on the blade.

When he struck the sword as hard as he could, he tore the old armor that had been put up for practice into two parts like cutting tofu.

“More than this, the power does not increase.”

Kania noona, who continues to wield her sword and expresses feelings of being blocked by something.

You look pretty frustrated.

“It's just that my sister hasn't realized it yet.”

I gave her advice and instructed her to refocus.

“First, I refine the imagery again. I will teach you how to get over walls.”

“tips?”

“Do you know what the driving emotion you need to jump over the wall in the first place?”

I didn't know at all, so I just gave the correct answer.

“The answer is negative emotions.”

“Nonsense!”

I deny at once whether I even thought of a joke.

“It's true. As always, humans who grow stronger the fastest tend to be obsessive and sinister.”

For example, it is a similar logic that humans who are obsessed with revenge quickly acquire power.

Insanity, obsession, or anger that transcends the mind.

Sometimes you need that.

Positive emotions purify the sword, but they do not become the driving force for explosive power.

However, on the contrary, negative emotions play a role in breaking the limit of the amount of mana that you are unknowingly limiting.

An advanced master must deal with those two feelings freely.

It's a real contradiction in that respect.

You need a clear mind to realize mana, but you need negative emotions as a driving force to pursue a higher level beyond the wall

.

After I explained this, my sister made a tired face.

“So that is. Like Arell?”

why do you think of me What do you think of my image!!

Um... I have to say it, but that and my strength have nothing to do with it.

I'm not insidious.

Incidentally, this theory is not made by me.

That's what the bachelor's examination claimed.

Both me and him insisted on this theory often, as if for some reason there was a bit of a perverse side at the time.

The important thing is that the theory almost fits.
