Chapter 8
3 # Watch Training (2)
I thought the brain freeze was coming.
Engaged to Chesha Eutland?
Who is it?
Aiden the pig?
I mean, me?
I didn’t see that setting in the original.
Hearing the shocking story, I opened my mouth dazed. Linia asks with a worried tone.
“Young master, have you forgotten about the lady? ”
“· · · · · · · · · · · Eh. ”
“Oh my God.”
She covers her mouth with both hands.
Linia knows my memories are incomplete. In fact, as long as I was stickier than my family, it was clear that one day I would feel fundamentally different from my original ID, so I played in advance. After getting hit in the head by the Grand Duke, there’s something to remember.
Until now, I have been quite well soldered with a wealth of original knowledge that I do not have a memory as an ID. That’s why Linia never thought I’d forget something so important.
“I haven’t had a conversation in five years, but when I was a kid, she used to come to the Stroke Manor and have fun with him. ”
“· · Was. ”
The age of Aiden is similar to that of Chesha Utland, as of February 982. He’s my childhood friend.
This is my mistake. I should have kept in mind the possibility of intercourse in the neighboring territory. Moreover, I do not know in detail what is the relationship between Chesha and Aiden. When you meet her naturally, it becomes vague how you should treat her.
My head hurts.
I’ll just have to think about this when I get a chance to recruit Chesha. Still, being close to your childhood shouldn’t adversely affect your plans.
“Well, don’t you remember meeting him in person? ”
“You’ll open your eyes as soon as you see it! Rumor has it she grew up to be an amazing beauty. ”
I know that Chesha Eutland is an amazing beauty because she is also a few times highlighted in original novels. Honestly, I’m a little excited to actually meet you.
I turned the subject around.
“So, have you made any progress with what I’ve asked you to do separately? ”
It wasn’t about recruiting talent, but I entrusted Linnia with something as important as that.
It’s about finding someone through an informant. According to the timeline in my head, I’m an original figure somewhere in the capital of Stroke National right now.
“I found someone who fits the traits you mentioned. They’ve been staying at the Golden Apple Inn on the main street for about a week now. ”
Linia, who possessed the trait of “Espionage (B)”, was also a maidservant and was naturally good at collecting information.
I smiled.
This is great news.
[Grade A Attribute/Skill Random Option x1]
And if I could just meet the character, it would be the right place to use it.
4.
“sharuuu ─”
I breathed.
Then the high-grade gigawatts begin to circulate through the body. When I was finished, I put on the sword of Stroke Slash, which I practiced hard enough to put a stiff arrow in my hand.
[Stroke Slash (B) is the introduction phase. Increases the effect.]
It is a Class B skill.
The depth was different from the depths of the basic northern sword that could be pierced by Zec. I’ve only been practicing my sword for a few days, but I’m barely at the entrance stage.
Rinfred, who had corrected his posture with a strict attitude, started a leadership duel with a wooden sword.
“Hap!”
I drew my sword with a machete. However, Rinfred slammed his fist so easily, he swung his wooden sword and slapped me on the shoulder.
“Hehe!”
The user’s arm loosens with a heavy blow. I lost the wooden sword I was holding.
Linfred’s work has flown.
“In practice, you die when you put down your sword. Your palace is not only incompetent with swordsmanship, but also less mentally! ”
He looked at me with his pathetic eyes. I know it’s intentional to provoke you, but there’s still nothing to be mad about.
I gripped it and took part in training.
The [Muscular Overweight () characteristic has disappeared. This disables Agility stat growth slowdown.]
[Agility +1.]
Over time, I was one day ahead of the banquet, and my swordsmanship had become so prolonged that I exchanged more than 20 times with Rinfred. It was a very steep growth, even though he was considering that he was taking care of things appropriately.
Inspired by day-to-day skill advancements, I worked harder and harder at Stroke Slash.
At some point, the sword I drew possessed a strength unlike any other.
“ · · ·! ”
Rinfred strikes back inadvertently, not responding well to the scattered blade. It was the first time he was pushed out of a leadership match with me.
“· · Excellent. ”
“Phew, Phew · ·”
The strike was not a stroke.
[Stroke Slash (B) is the ‘Skilled’ stage. Increases the effect.]
The translucent line in front of your eyes proves that. The tripper system was objectively an indicator of my progress.
I floated the character sheet.
Iden stroke
[Level: 5/35]

[Description: Age 14, Human. The infamous Grand Duke of the whole country is doomed.]
“Haha · ·”
I had a smile on my mouth.
I still have a long way to go, but I still have a human look. The sheets were remarkably improved compared to the two months before the level of the burge.
The sum of stats other than magical power is roughly the middle of the household’s apprentice knights. Compared to the knights who received the official letter, I also thought of a way to close that huge gap in a month.
If things go according to plan, the battle with the plains will soon be over.
5.
When I arrived at the training ground the next day, I received an offer from Rinfred.
“From what I can see, the Confucius has already put some tricks into one-on-one combat. From now on, it would be a good idea to join a multi-faceted duel to gain a variety of experiences. ”
“You want me to take on a bunch of people? ”
“I think the current Confederate can handle two apprentice knights. ”
Sounds right to me.
My current stats are equivalent to that of an apprentice, but my skill grade or proficiency is higher than a few. After focusing solely on abilities figures, he seemed to have been fascinated by stereotypes for a while.
“I think it’s going to be okay. ”
“· · Then, based on the reputation of the Confucius, we will choose as many as possible to challenge as calm apprentices. ”
As soon as I heard that, I had a funny thought in my head.
Come to think of it, Aiden is a notorious mule. If we do well, maybe we can turn his accumulated karma into a driving force for growth.
“· · · Hold on. The Pokémon has one condition to choose its opponent. ”
“What if it’s a condition? ”
“Investigate the apprentice knights’ identities and select those who hold a grudge against me first. That way you’ll be dead meat, and it’ll be a practical exercise. ”
“It might be dangerous. ”
“It doesn’t matter.”
It was Lindfred for a moment, but I insisted so strongly that I accepted it.
So, two of the training camp’s apprentice knights, who were filtered out, stepped in front of me.
Jimmy Gardner
[Level: 2/16]
[Health: 05] [Strength: 07] [Agility: 03]
[Magic Power: 02] [Mind: 03] [Sense: 04]
[Holy: 00]
[Characteristics: Swordsmanship (C)]
[Skill: Northern Basic Slash (D), Northern Basic Skill (D)]
[Description: 15 years old, human race. An apprentice knight of the Stroke family.]
Victoria Phyllis
[Level: 3/14]
[Health: 04] [Strength: 03] [Agility: 07]
[Magic Power: 03] [Mind: 01] [Sense: 06]
[Holy: 00]
[Characteristic: Fighter (C), Swordsmanship (D)]
[Skill: Northern Basic Slash (D), Mercenary Basic Aid (D), Northern Basic Skill (D)]
[Description: 17 years old, human. An apprentice knight of the Stroke family.]
A pair of men and women stare at this side with a twisted gaze. If I’m not the next Grand Duke, I’ll put down the knife right now.
Ask Lindfred.
“No, what have they done to me? Are they staring at me like that? ”
“Jimmy Gardner and Victoria Phyllis are engaged. According to the report, the Confucius didn’t know about it and threw a huge chunk at Victoria. ”
From what I heard, that apprentice knight of hers looked quite pretty. But how can you look at her so harshly after throwing a punch?
“That’s it? ”
“· · · Victoria has a fiancée who has refused to pursue the prince. Then he began by saying,” It looks good to fit in with the children of a lowly nobleman. “He insulted both his family and his parents, and Jimmy who could not hear it stepped forward. The prince beat Jimmy like that, knocked him down, spit in his face and left. ”
Reading the report, Rinfred looks at me nonsense. Are you really doing this crazy thing? You look like you’re asking.
I shrug.
“I’m sorry, I don’t remember. ”
Boom!
Jimmy grits his teeth. If I wasn’t the blood of a high official, I’d swing my fist right now. I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to hear what Rinfred just said.
I looked at you two and said,
“If you have any complaints, use the wooden sword you’re holding. Isn’t this your chance to legally beat me up? ”
Hearing my words, Jimmy and Victoria’s expression hardened. Soon they will take the Riding Formation.
“· · Jimmy Gardner, apprentice of Stroke II Knights. I heard from Lord Milner that you want practical training. So even if it gets a little overwhelming, understand. ”
“Victoria Phyllis, apprentice of the Second Knights of Stroke. It’s the lower east gate.”
The reason why they didn’t look good was not just because they had a grudge against Aiden. My pride was worth ruining because I was told by an esteemed elite knight to cooperate with me who had just entered the path of the knight.
Rinfred turns to me and the two apprentice knights and declares the beginning of the duel.
“Start.”
“Hiya!”
Jimmy jumps in like he’s been waiting for this moment. I calmly half-bob my feet. Then his sword slashes through the air with its fleeting car.
Heavy and powerful, but slow.
Compared to Linfred’s flashy island, this strike was just a kid’s prank.
I was aiming for Jimmy’s rift caused by a reactionary blow, but then I switched my sword and threw a silent blow from the side.
Kick!
Contrary to earlier, it was a quick but light blow.
Victoria opens her eyes wide. He didn’t expect to respond to his own surprise. I punched her in the face with my left hand.
Puck!
“Ugh · · ·! ”
“Victoria!”
Jimmy, who sensed the fiancée crisis, rushed towards me like an ox. I pushed Victoria in the direction of Jimmy, and his lunge stopped in vain.
It’s so pathetic, I can’t stand it.
“Talking big, just the two of you playing separately. If you’re going to do it together, why don’t you do it right? ”
“ · · · · · · · · · ”
They are shocked that my skills are making fun of them.
Soon, Jimmy and Victoria’s gaze subsided coldly. The sandbag seems to have switched perceptions to an opponent who can punch as much as he wants.
The two people who caught my eye for a moment, immediately thereafter, pushed me with a tight breath.
Tak!
Ta-tak!
Three wooden swords were intertwined in the air.
After taking out Victoria’s clash, Jimmy takes a heavy blow. I endured relatively superior skills and swordsmanship, but I was clearly inferior.
But there is still a means to the spleen.
“sharuuu ─”
I calmly breathed through the fierce acceptance of two people. The hot energy emanating from the chest spreads throughout the body.
“Sh, stroke mastery! ”
“No way! How did the second one breathe his vision!? ”
I heard a slight malignancy of the knights I was watching.
