Episode 11 The Beginning of Swordsmanship (2)
Eil wanted to scream as he pointed his finger at the sky.
‘Use a sword aura at fifteen? I didn’t even imitate it until I was over 20!’
Ale, who released a sword aura at the age of 20, was also not a bad quality.
No, on the contrary, it was safe to say that he was a genius.
But what does Ray, who entered the user group at the age of 15, mean?
“Hahaha… Today’s class ends here.”
Eventually, Ale lowered his tail.
Sein, who was watching the scene, said pathetically.
“Is it over already? I’m glad though. It didn’t fit.”
“Uh huh. is that right? So you’re saying I have to punch my son?”
“I heard you learn while being hit? Hurry up and finish class, Master.”
Having said that, I have nothing to say.
He gritted his teeth and injected mana into his sword.
In the blink of an eye, blue energy gathered on the sword and a sword aura erupted.
Clearly, something darker than Ray’s aura looked different from Ray, who created a sword aura simply by understanding mana.
Ale smiled and said.
“Now, let’s go for real.”
Looking at him, Ray swallowed his saliva.
‘Aren’t you really learning while being hit like this?’
Ray liked being hit, but not being beaten.
Moreover, the thought of being beaten by a man was not as much as ant poop.
As he straightened his posture, he squeezed the grip of the sword tightly, and Ale’s sword cut right into him.
His sword aura, which emits sharp force, was blocked by Ray’s sword.
Kaga River-
There must have been wooden swords colliding with each other, but a sound like metal rubbing was heard and sparks flew everywhere.
‘If I do this, I will be pushed back.’
Ray’s expression hardened.
The sword aura that Ale created was stronger than the sword aura that he made poorly.
No matter how much pure mana was put into the sword, the sword of a true Aura user created through experience and realization was stronger than imagined.
In the end, before entering the power struggle, Ray had no choice but to step back.
Furthermore, in the case of Ale, the body was activated with mana. It was several times faster and stronger than himself.
“Ugh. It hurts…”
Ray’s grip was in a torn state, unable to withstand the shock caused by a momentary bump.
‘If you go on like this, you’ll only get pushed back. Somehow…’
The more I searched for a way, the more magic came to my mind.
Ray realized how much he relied on magic.
Moreover, unlike the first time, it was not easy to even think about dealing with Ale, who did not wait and continued to attack.
Unlike him, Ale was relaxed.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Don’t worry too much. When I hit it, it will remove the aura.”
Ray gritted his teeth at his father’s mean words.
‘This is the judge’s decision. Push with sheep!’
“Whoa…”
Ray sighed and stepped back again.
Then, he began to suck up all the mana around him.
It was to the point where I was mistaken that the air was moving.
“Uh huh…?”
Ale and Sein were also surprised by the tremendous flow of mana.
The amount of mana attracted to him was so enormous that he could not even imagine collecting all the mana in this world.
Powerful and pure mana began to gather and condense into the sword in Ray’s hand.
As mana was injected, the sword aura naturally had no choice but to increase in size.
The sword aura that erupted from Ray’s sword grew bigger and bigger.
Eventually, when the sword surrounded by mana reached three times the size of Ray’s body, the flow of mana stopped.
“….”
“….”
Sain and Ale watched the scene without saying a word.
I was ignorant to the point of being dumbfounded.
They wondered if their son had a fountain of mana.
Ray wiped the sweat from his forehead once and smiled.
“Whoa… is it fair now?”
“…”
There was no reason left to answer now.

In the dark of Billo Village, I saw figures moving around busily.
All were information traders.
Most of them were working at the request of Viscount Gade.
That’s also because the family’s life and death were at stake, so they didn’t save money and put in random requests to information guilds or black dealers.
At the back door of the bar at the far end of the alleyway, two figures were facing each other.
The bald man in the hood said as if he was dumbfounded.
“Could that be the end?”
“exactly.”
The bald man pounded his chest and said.
“No, they gave me a small down payment, so I tried to do my best… What kind of bullshit is that to find someone based on hair color and age?”
Then, the other person’s expression slightly distorted.
“You speak harshly. That’s why I gave you a lot of money, didn’t you?”
“Impossible is impossible even if you pay a lot of money. How many people do you think have the same hair color? Besides, it’s not a physical characteristic, it’s an age group.”
“I don’t care about the color of my hair. He is a white-haired boy.”
The bald man tilted his head at his words.
‘He?’
“It is very rare to have such clean white hair. I think you are probably the only one in that age group.”
I don’t know who he is and why this man is using an honorific, but the bald man had to work because he received a down payment.
“Hmm… I see. I will try to find it as much as possible, focusing on the village.”
“Expect good news.”
The man spoke and rose from his seat.
Watching him quickly leave the alley and disappear, the bald man patted his head and muttered,
“Huh true. Don’t you use honorific names for your child? Isn’t it said to find it only by hair color? Does the world hear Mangjo?”

Holy Kingdom Gaia.
It is a country with a history and meaning that has produced saints and saints as ‘revelation’ since the past.
The pope of such a holy country was sitting on his knees and clasping his hands as he always did.
Seeing him concentrating on prayer while exuding his divine power, it was common for everyone to avoid his seat.
After three hours had passed, a voice began to be heard in the Pope’s brain.
– Your sincerity is commendable.
The benevolent voice in his brain opened the pope’s eyes.
“Lord God!”
Tears flowed from his eyes.
It was the first time that he answered his endless prayers even after becoming Pope.
Gaia, the Goddess, continued, not paying attention to his tears.
– It’s my country’s child. find a new saint Find the gray-haired man in the country of Celia.
The pope tilted his head at the sound of her voice.
“…is that the end?”
Unexpectedly, when she heard the pope’s words that seemed to be really all there was, rather than an answer of obedience, she also asked back.
– What do you mean?
“There are too many people with gray hair in the Kingdom of Celia. Right now, even in our holy country, it’s a significant number. If you go looking for a saint in such a place, in the worst case, you may not find him until he dies.”
Gaia’s sigh seemed to be heard towards the pope who lowered his head and spoke.
– The new saint is fifteen years old. Find him and bring him to the Holy Land.
“Yes, I understand.”
As soon as I heard the pope’s answer, the voice that had passed through my mind disappeared without a trace.
A small moan escaped from the pope’s mouth as if he had been dreaming.
The thought that he had finally received an answer from his god did not stop his joy.
It seemed like he let out a sigh at the end, though.

The Holy Kingdom informed the Kingdom of Celia that they would find the saint the next day.
Since it was clear that the Holy Kingdom would disregard their lives and declare a holy war if they refused to do so, the Celia kingdom had no choice but to permit it.
The Holy Nation’s envoys and intelligence groups cross over to the Kingdom of Celia first, and the dispatched battalion that starts looking for people in earnest is sent afterwards.
Their contingent is made up entirely of paladins and priestesses.
So, naturally, the fighting power was about to exceed that of a single knight.
The dispatched battalions are the upper and middle battalions and the lower battalions. It was divided into three groups, and the Sanggyeondae was a contingent composed of those with the most outstanding skills.
Next, there is the junior squadron, and when the three battalions are together, the senior squadron plays the role of leader.
Due to the nature of their divine power increasing as their faith level increases or they are trusted by the gods, usually the older ones are the highest and the lower ones are the youngest.
The two paladins of the lower class were talking.
“The new saint is said to be very young?”
“There is already a saintess, but the revelation of a new saint…”
“Well, if there is one more saint, our holy kingdom will grow even more.”
“Well…because there’s never been anything like this in history.”
Even in the history of the continent, including the Holy Kingdom, there have never been two saints and two saints in one era.
Since the pope, who has already received a revelation from their god, has given the order, they are only going to find a child who is a ‘saint’, not a person who ‘might be a saint’.
Unlike the saintess who came to the Holy Land, was baptized, and was endowed with divine power by God, he was a saint from the beginning.
I was really looking forward to what kind of child it would be.
The priest of the Sanggyeondae, who noticed their commotion, gave notice.
“Don’t make a fuss. We are now going to keep the sacred word of the Lord God. I will not forgive your recklessness.”
Then, the two paladins straightened their postures and bowed their heads.
“sorry. I will be careful.”
“sorry.”
Receiving their apology, the priest shook his head quietly.
he also knows
Being young, it is unavoidable that I am not restrained.
Even in the Holy Kingdom, it is kept secret from other countries, but there are cases where vigorous paladins and priestesses break the doctrine and excommunicate.
There were a lot of nonsensical things as he led such a squad, and there were also people who went into the forest and secretly fell in love.
Even though they ruled with strict words, the priest knew that it would not be easy for them to control everything and live only for God.
That’s why I’m deliberately talking to make it more military.
to avoid the worst.
