Episode 25
– It’s really disappointing.
After subjugating Eileen, who had become the main target of the 6th Corps commander, Mikhail murmured bitterly.
Ryan took my word for it.
-If she hadn’t been captured by them, he could have continued his will.
There were really few beings that he could call ‘him’.
Because he was very proud of his sword and did not readily acknowledge anyone.
Even so, to respect is to be a being that is above that level.
And it really deserved it.
That would also be true, because
‘him’ was the one who destroyed the commander of the 7th Corps, a member of the Demon God’s 12th Commander.
The Sword Emperor of the West,
Milium Aria.
The most heterogeneous sword master in history and a swordsman outside the empire.
Of course, in the process of annihilating the 7th corps commander, Milium also lost his life, but it is an undeniable fact that it was a tremendous achievement.
she wasn’t a knight
He didn’t systematically learn the training methods or swordsmanship of a prestigious family, and he didn’t care about things like face.
To borrow the expression of the Imperial Knights… …Yes, it could be said to be close to the sado.
The sword she wielded was long, thin, and easily bent.
It wasn’t weak either.
It moved irregularly like a whip and used that ‘anomaly’ to tear opponents apart.
-I’ve seen him before. I was looking for it very earnestly.
in a sad voice.
– An existence that will fulfill one’s long-cherished wish.
It was a little later that I found out about the secret wish.
* * *
“…You say you will find me a mentor?”
Eileen frowned and looked at me.
“It’s funny to say this, but I didn’t come here because I lacked teachers.”
“Yes, I guess.”
There is no place as rich in swordsmanship and teachers as the Lindell family.
but.
“You think I’m telling you this because I don’t know that? I just calmly judged that you had nothing to gain here.”
“…What do you mean?”
Eileen asked, glaring at me.
Her reaction is natural.
After all, I am a wizard.
He must have dared to think that I, as a wizard, was interfering in the swordsman’s realm.
“It’s just literal. Didn’t you come all the way here because you wanted to prove yourself as a prosecutor?”
“…!”
At my words, she opened her eyes wide and looked at me.
“Uh how…“
Because if you roughly look at the circumstances, the answer will come out. For the sake of Lindel’s face, she won’t visit Count Paslov’s house because of her engagement.”
Eileen is definitely a genius.
However, you may not have ever compared yourself to your peers to the point where objectification is possible.
And you’ll realize
That what you’ve learned so far isn’t optimal for you.
In the long run, a completely different training method is needed.
‘Until then, I wouldn’t have been able to move in earnest because I was paying attention to my family.’
Anyway, the sooner you learn the Auror training method, the better.
She must have learned Lindel’s training method in a hurry, but it is clear that it was not the best training method for her.
“Yes you are right. It is true that I just felt the gap with Prince Lian. It’s also the fact that the things I’ve learned aren’t the best. but…”
she said in a cold voice at my words.
“I don’t think you, as a wizard, have the qualifications to judge which training method is right for me.”
“Ah, that’s not it. princess.”
Then Ryan intervened.
“This guy’s eyes are trustworthy. He was the one who taught me how to train in the first place.”
“…yes?”
Eileen widened her eyes.
“Oh no, that’s nonsense.”
At those words, Eileen widened her eyes.
“No matter what, a wizard teaches Aura training. Could such a thing be possible… …“
Even if you say that, it is true.”
Aileen looked confused at Lian’s words.
“That can’t be…”
“Tsk, it can’t be.”
I looked at her and clicked my tongue.
“It is true that I cannot use the Auror training method. But that doesn’t mean you can’t teach. As long as you understand the principles, teaching is possible.”
“No what…”
Eileen looked at me with a bewildered expression.
“Even if you say it as if it were obvious, there are no wizards who can do that.”
“Can I?”
“What the hell happened to you like this?”
She let out a small sigh and shook her head.
“Anyway, I understand. If the person who has learned the training method says so, then it must be true.”
When she concluded that, she let out a small sigh.
It’s a disturbing look anyway.
‘Of course.’
The training method is the source of aura.
Rather, it’s strange that you’re not careful.
After a while, she opened her mouth.
“sorry.”
“Suddenly, what kind of apology is this again?”
“First of all, you gave me advice as a favor. But I have neglected it, so I have to apologize.”
“her.”
Until now, I thought she was pretty stingy with apologies, but that wasn’t it.
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No, I thought you had a conscience.”
At my words, Aileen’s forehead grew sinews.
However, as if he couldn’t come up with anything else to refute, he puffed up his cheeks and turned his head away.
“Anyway, I understood that Confucius Lian’s training methods did not suit me. So, what does it mean to find that teacher?”
“Oh, that’s nothing.”
I shrugged and said.
“I will introduce you to the person who will be the best fit for you.”
“Then let me introduce you.”
“….”
Change your posture faster than anyone else.
It’s hard to see the attitude of the guy who was suspicious of me just a moment ago.
“…You are amazing too.”
“It’s been a long time since you’ve been showing favor, so you have to accept it when you receive it. My father said so too.”
Did Duke Lindell say that?
Well, it wouldn’t be strange if he said such a thing. He had good insight and quick calculations.
“What good.”
I smiled and held out my hand to her.
“Then give it to me.”
“…yes?”
“I bet you didn’t mean to listen to this kind of advanced information for free, right? Of course you have to give me something.”
At my words, she tilted her head in bewilderment.
“I didn’t think of that.”
“Then you can do it now.”
“Uh um…Aileen
was deep in thought with her arms crossed.
“…Can’t you pay later?”
“Oh no.”
At my words, worry began to appear on her face.
He seemed to be worrying too much.
and after a while
“I can’t help it.”
She took something out of the pocket on her waistband.
A jewel that glows in five colors.
Inside, mana was continuously circulating.
“Can this be enough?”
“her?”
I laughed out loud when I saw the jewel.
I didn’t ask for a price without thinking.
Of course, I thought I would have something with a value comparable to the Mulière training method… ….
“I never thought I would see a ‘flawless mana stone’ here.”
“You know, too.”
she gave it to me
“I was originally thinking of negotiating with this. The flawless mana stone itself is a monster that lowers the difficulty of dungeon exploration.”
“It’s not their main use.”
“But it is also used for that purpose. It’s hard to get, but it’s also true that it’s a very valuable item for those who want to clear dungeons.”
I tried to use the items needed for the dungeon raid as negotiation materials.
In other words, the family of the Duke of Lindel already knew the dungeon of Count Paslov’s family.
…Anyway, that snarl is like an old man.
“how is it? Isn’t this enough for the price of information?”
“Surely so.”
as she said
You can see that this is full and overflowing.
“By the way, the decision is quicker than I thought, isn’t it? Even so, I thought you would think about it a little more.”
“under.”
She snorted as if my words weren’t even funny.
“You are Walpurgis.”
“yes.”
“I think you said that as long as you name your family, you must promise to be responsible. Well, maybe I don’t have the qualifications to say this to me, but… …”
She looked at me.
“Are you different?”
“Hmm.”
It was the first time.
All before the regression and until now.
The way she looks at me with this expression… ….
Ironically, it felt pretty good.
Doesn’t every single one of these little things tell you?
I’m not doing anything wrong.
At least it’s different from the past.
“What good.”
I looked at her and said.
“Then let’s come right away and talk about training methods.”
“great. Please tell me.”
I straightened up and waited for her to say my next words.
“Do you know that he is the Lawless Judge?”
“…!”
At that moment, Ryan shouted.
“Isn’t the Lawless Judge a wild west? One of the few non-Imperial sword masters on the continent!”
“Oh right.”
After answering what he said, I turned to Eileen.
“The ‘teacher’ I will introduce you to is him.”
* * *
“Uh uh…Eileen ,
unable to hide her bewilderment, barely asked.
“…It’s not that I’m ignoring you, but Lawless Judge is a person who failed to recruit even the Western Marquis?”
“yes.”
“No matter how Walpurgis you are and how talented you are, how can you deal with a person who has failed to capture even that western margrave…“
You don’t need to know that.”
I turned my head to Ryan.
“Ryan, you remember what I said the other day? The temple thing.”
“Oh yes. don’t remember When can I go?”
“tomorrow. and…”
This time I looked at Eileen.
“You prepare too. Because we have to go to the capital together.”
“…yes?”
Eileen widened her eyes.
“Why me?”
“Don’t you want to learn the training method quickly? So let’s go together.”
just at this time.
Originally stuck in the western border area, she sets foot in the capital.
Selecting a warrior no one trusts.
and Cassandra the Prophet.
The ‘Lawless Judge’ will appear in the capital at that time.
‘Good.’
We can handle all of these at once.
“No matter how much it is, is it too sudden?! All I said to that family was that I was going to be here for a while… …!”
“are you okay. ‘Cause I’ll tell my father Anyway, His Excellency the Duke also said he would stop by my family to apologize.”
“What do you mean you’re suddenly going to the capital?! I have to explain it so I can do what I do!”
“It’s nothing.”
I continued talking as I saw Eileen staring at me vigorously.
“I wanted to try playing a hero.”
“….”
Her face as she looked at me cooled.
i believe in this
I guess you could say it looks like that.
“You understand. Everyone has a dream of becoming a hero in a corner of their heart when they are young.”
Finally, harsh words came out of Eileen’s mouth.
“No really. Fuck.”
* * *
[They’re funny kids.]
Set talked to them as soon as they returned to the room after somehow persuading them.
[Unlike you, they were children of my age. Can’t you live like that?]
“I’m a bit twisted.”
I gave a rough answer and put the flawless mana stone I received from Eileen on the table.
[Hmm, it’s a flawless mana stone.]
“It’s an amazing item.”
Ordinary mana stones simply contain mana.
But this was different.
It has the property of producing mana from within.
[Where are you going to use this?]
“You should use it like a wizard.”
Even before returning, I obtained this flawless mana stone.
Actually, I planned to get it as quickly as possible this time, but I thought it would come like this.
[If it’s for wizard-like purposes… ….]
“Is there anything special?”
Before returning, where did I use this flawless mana stone?
I put the subspace pouch I got from the tomb on the table along with it and said.
“From now on, I will make artifacts with these things.”
It’s also mine only.
A very special artifact.
Great mage who transcends by regression
