Episode 155:
Why is he going in such a hurry? He didn’t even show any signs of telling me where he was going.
I just had to hold on to his shoulder and wait for him to drop me off.
One second felt like an hour, and I arrived at Count Warrug’s training ground.
‘What?’
I wondered if there was a need to drag me all this way since I was going to his training ground.
“Block the left!”
“What are you doing now...!”
That thought completely disappeared as soon as I entered the training hall.
The knights were gathered together.
Somehow, they were all bleeding.
I wondered if there was an intruder, but that wasn’t the case.
The only ones in the training hall were the Warrug knights, the Count, and Selina.
‘Selina?’
The person surrounded by knights was none other than Selina.
Her condition was very strange.
Not only was she breathing hard, but there were scratches all over her body.
It was strange that Count Warrug, who cared so much about his daughter, would leave her alone, even though she wouldn’t die that much.
“Isn’t it dangerous if I leave it like that?”
“It’s dangerous.”
He nodded heavily as he set me down on the ground.
Although it seemed strange for someone I knew well to remain still, I could understand his behavior.
‘It’s really going crazy.’
The biggest problem was that Selina was out of her mind right now.
Her pupils were out of focus.
“How did it become like that?”
“I guess he came to enlightenment while sparring with the knights, and that’s what happened.”
He rubbed his chin and drooled.
If you’re so worried about your daughter, you can do it yourself, so why are you looking at me like you’re asking me to help you?
“Why don’t you come forward yourself?”
“Do you think I wouldn’t want to do it? It’s not that I don’t do it, it’s that I can’t do it.”
I, too, am afraid of someone who can be defeated with one hand, so why can’t I do it?
I looked at him with a frown, and he sighed and said.
“I know what you’re thinking. That’s the problem. “I’m too strong.”
“...?”
You’re not kidding me.
The problem is that it’s too strong.
“Selina’s condition right now is like a blank slate. “Your future will be determined by what you accept.”
“....”
“I can deal with you. There is, but it doesn’t help Selina. Rather, it has a negative effect. “If I want to deal with Selina, I have no choice but to look after her.”
He continued speaking with a gloomy face.
“He is a skilled person of the same level who can take care of Selina’s needs and engage in a life-or-death struggle rather than a strong opponent.”
“Um...”
“But unfortunately, that’s not possible with knights.”
I understood what he wanted to say.
To put it simply, he wanted me to deal with Selina instead.
Why are you repeating something that can just be said simply?
It didn’t matter if I dealt with her.
It was a welcome sight for her to become stronger.
“But am I any different from the Count?”
“I know you are strong.”
He said without taking his eyes off Selina.
“That’s why I’m asking you a favor. Overwhelming strength doesn’t help, but neither does being mediocrely strong. “If you’re going to do it, four levels is just right.”
I scratched my cheek when he said there was nothing to worry about.
I thought that if he said that, there must be a reason.
There was no way he would hurt his daughter.
“All right.”
“request.”
I wonder if I can figure it out somehow.
Pulling out his cotton cloth, he passed the knights surrounding Selina and went inside.
“Huh... Huh...!”
I could feel the fighting spirit in Selina’s body as she was breathing heavily.
The heat rose like a haze and she glared at me as she appeared.
“I will take charge from now on.”
“...Please take care of our young lady.”
They glanced back at the Count and bowed their heads to me with joy.
The knights were worried that Selina might get hurt if they used Auras, so they dealt with her without using Auras.
Selina’s swordsmanship was superior to that of the knights, but not inferior to them.
That is why knights from famous swordsmen have a hard time dealing with her.
If you use Aurors, they won’t be this tired.
It was the result of only thinking about Selina’s safety.
‘You don’t recognize me at all.’
This was my first time seeing Selina like this.
I even wondered what kind of training it takes to make people like this.
I approached her, trying to suppress my curiosity about what would have happened if I had trained like her.
Blocked her sword.
As if to tell me not to lose my focus while dealing with her, she rushed at me without giving me any time to rest.
‘I’d like to play more.’
I calmly blocked her sword and scanned her body.
Although it was fortunate that she used her aura, her body was unable to withstand it.
Her limbs were trembling slightly.
Her body was convulsing so violently that it seemed like a miracle that she could stand.
‘It would be dangerous to do more.’
She is dangerous and I am also dangerous.
You might not have known it before she started using Auras, but the moment she started using Auras, things changed.
Her swordsmanship was outstanding.
Enough to suppress quite a few knights.
By using her aura, the synergy of that power is more than doubled.
It is difficult for me to easily prevent it.
“Let’s finish it quickly.”
You won’t hear it anyway, but this was what was said to me.
He lifted the cotton at an angle and filled it with aura.
He concentrated on her movements, pushing the auras into her legs and arms.
She looked at me from a distance, probably nervous about my sudden change in momentum.
It also circled around me for a while, looking for an opening.
Quaaaang!
She comes running.
The ground where her feet touched was hollow. Having just awakened the Aura, the Aura’s operational ability is very good.
‘see.’
Her movements slowed down.
I could see how her arms, legs and sword were moving.
Her sword swung towards my neck.
“Ha!”
He burst into spirit and swung his name.
Kwajangchang!
Her sword collided with Nameless and shattered into pieces.
Undaunted, she threw away the handle and swung her fist.
He wrapped his arm around the cotton and pushed it to the side, clenching his fist.
Kwaaaaang!
My fist hit her in the stomach, making a loud noise.
“Oh girl!”
The knights are scared.
She fell limp on my fist, unable to even scream.
He slowly lowered her to the ground.
Count Warrug and the knights hurriedly approach.
“Ignorant guy.”
Count Warrug looked at me as if I was dumbfounded.
His face said he had no idea he would hit a woman like this.
‘Is there any difference between being a woman?’
Whether you are a man or a woman, you must give up the idea that you will look after the other person as long as you are holding a sword.
Because if I do something wrong, I could be in danger.
“I told you. “Are you okay?”
He shook his head when he saw me shrugging my shoulders.
“Anyway, thank you. “Thanks to you, I was able to get through it safely.”
“no. it’s okay.”
“Then why did you come here? “I remember you said you wouldn’t be able to come for a while because of the 3rd prince.”
He gestured for the knights to take Selina away and then turned to me.
I can’t believe I’m asking that now. Actually, if I had had time to think about it, I wouldn’t have left Selina like that.
“I’m here to learn the next training method.”
“training? Ah... I did. “So did you do everything I told you?”
“yes. “Now it’s not that hard.”
“The progress is faster than I thought. “Can I touch you for a moment?”
As he spoke, he reached out and kneaded my body.
Although I was embarrassed, I calmly accepted the touch.
“It’s true. “You got the muscles right.”
Could you tell by touching it?
Before I could say anything, he continued.
“Then I’ll tell you the next move. What I told you would be vertical cuts, horizontal cuts, and diagonal cuts.”
“yes.”
“Then what should I do next? Simple. All you have to do is apply this movement.”
He brought a wooden sword and showed me three moves as before.
It’s a move I’ve seen from Selina before.
Kingdom swordsmanship.
“You just need to practice until you can maintain the posture with your eyes closed.”
It was a simpler yet more difficult order than I thought.
“Oh, and when the 3rd prince returns, come see me right away. You have somewhere to go with me.”
What do I want to ask you for this time?
When I frowned, he burst out laughing and hit my shoulder.
“You’ll know when it comes.”
I got goosebumps all over my body when I saw him licking his lips, saying it would be a lot of fun.
