chapter 6
1. Ed Glead – (6)
***
Inside the Glaad Family Mansion – Underground Special Gymnasium.
It was a special place that could only be used by those who were given the Glead family’s castle.
All materials from the floor to the walls and ceiling are made of expensive special minerals, and each has been specially treated with magic, so it has strong durability that absorbs quite a bit of shock, as well as magic that is applied even if it is damaged. As a result, self-repair was carried out to a certain extent.
Therefore, he was able to freely develop and practice his own mana, as well as seasonal techniques such as arcane skills.
And now, there, the blue wave of sword energy breaks through the space as if it were flying all over the place.
-Shasha Shock!
Ed, wearing a blue knight’s uniform with the Glaad family’s insignia, was practicing his sword.
“… ….”
The blue waves embroidering the space continued to fill other spaces.
In an instant, Ed’s surroundings began to be covered in blue reverberation, as if being enveloped in blue waves.
Once one blue line embroiders the air, another blue line squeezes into the space and fills the rest of the space.
The blue lines connected in this way soon form a huge ‘blue wave’ like a huge wave.
Glead Family Swordsmanship Type 2 ‘Blue Wave’.
The older brother of swordsmanship called ‘Blue Wave’ was an attack in itself, and also a swordsmanship that reached the extreme of thorough self-defense.
Endless swordsmanship envelops oneself while freely moving and attacking.
Aisen Glade, called the Blue Shield of the Empire, was in his heyday decades ago. It was one of the technologies that made a name for itself throughout the continent beyond the Chaldean Empire.
The blue waves embroidering the space were bloody embroidering the space as if it were alive and breathing.
To see that it was created with a simple swordsmanship, it is an unusual skill that goes beyond the realm of swordsmanship and seems to touch a single magic itself.
It was a high level of skill that would naturally exude admiration if a knight handling a sword faced it.
“The mandible… !”
At the moment, Ed exhaled rapidly. At the same time, the blue light that filled the space faded, and the blue waves that embroidered the space soon disappeared leaving only pale blue traces.
Because the concentration was cut off, the sword energy, which should instantly form a blue wave, could not continue its flow and was cut off.
And at the same time, the older brother of swordsmanship who couldn’t finish properly brought an extreme load on the body.
“Huh!”
Ed bends down as if collapsing at the terrifying sensation of twisting his entire body, groaning repeatedly and covering himself.
Writhing silently in pain, he leaned over as if collapsing on the floor of the gymnasium, and after a while, when the pain subsided, Ed let out a deep breath.
Then, in a daze, he saw his reflection in the reflection of the sword body next to him. Reflecting on his sword body, his whole body was drenched in sweat and his expression was poor.
It was as if that image of himself was reflecting on his mind right now.
I feel dizzy.
No, more than that, I was confused all the time.
Heir to the Glaad family.
That is the meaning of Asherah, who says that he must be himself, not anyone else.
And the appearance of Aizen, the teacher who calmly listened to those words.
‘I already have a choice… ….’
The moment he realizes that even the favor that earned him the surname Glead was done because of Ashera’s will.
The moment he knew that, how could he go against Ashera’s will?
A person who expressed his thoughts and actions to the end, regardless of his status, while ignoring the jealous attitude of other direct relatives.
While he was adopted by Aizen and went through a difficult adjustment period here in the north. Asherah was the only person who showed interest in her, so it was all the more difficult for her to go against that meaning.
When I first arrived in the North and came to the Glead family, the other servants and even the vassals seemed to treat me well, but when the direct descendants of Glaad’s blood began to envy me and slander me, they immediately changed their attitude. .
After that, a whopping 6 years have passed.
My own time before being given Glaad’s castle. The period so far was like a billion eons of time to him.
Continued bullying.
Knowingly or unknowingly discrimination based on social status.
Spars that can lead to death the moment you make a mistake.
There were countless times when he almost broke his heart to the point where his determination to become a knight was blunted little by little.
There were so many moments when I wanted to let go of the sword that I had to keep swallowing those painful days in my heart.
And every time Ed had no choice but to face a memory that was the same as his conviction.
A memory like a memory.
It was a memory like a promise from when I was young that came to my mind clearly despite the passage of many years.
—-If we meet later, then I will be your knight.
Now that I think about it, it wasn’t like a promise with her, it was just like her own promise.
‘Chersha Kalua.’
She inherited the blood of a great mage.
The moment she met her in her nursery, she felt something like her destiny.
And after that, the moment she found out her identity, she didn’t even know that she was intentionally trying to get close to her.
Her own dark life in her nursery.
The person who will end the life of that nursery school where you have to face the dirty and ugly side every day.
After meeting her, her weekly visits changed her situation at the nursery school.
The situation at the orphanage, which was constantly suffering from extreme poverty, changed 180 degrees after receiving a huge donation from the Magic Tower.
Even those demons who persecuted and beat children far and wide every day began to have room in their hearts when the nursery school’s financial situation became more affordable, and at the same time, even the children living there took their breath away. It got better
The thing that completely changed the fate of dozens of people.
It all happened quite simply because Chersha was interested in her nursery.
To be precise, everything changed because she took an interest in herself in the nursery.
Chersha Chersha’s personality, which I got to know while getting to know her, was mature beyond her age, and at the same time had a twisted set of values and the same mind.
The gaze of an extremely outstanding genius looking at a criminal was inherently different.
No matter how much Chersha tried to get along with her peers, she couldn’t get along with a child her age.
I wanted to be close, so I tried to do something with my peers, but my thoughts were all different from one to ten.
Someone can’t do what he can do.
What they understand, they don’t understand a single thing.
At first, it was just a minor creak, but the children who got along with Chersha naturally feel that emotion.
Chersha, who instinctively felt that she was inferior to herself, as a child of hers, instantly looked down on her peers.
And her feelings gradually piled up, and it became a chance that Chersha couldn’t get close to anyone else.
And since she was a ‘similar’ like me, she had no choice but to know her naturally.
Chersha I could understand more than anyone else the frustration inside her.
However, Chersha’s inability to understand them was a big difference between her and herself, while she could feel them and understand them at the same time.
Understanding the differences from oneself.
Ed faced the filth of all kinds of human groups, he realized, but Chersha, who grew up like a flower in a greenhouse, did not realize.
That’s why it was easy for Ed himself to get close to Chersha.
The moment we both understood the same thing and thought the same thing, she and I felt extremely refreshed.
It was natural that they developed a crush on each other.
Even though they tried to create a subtle sense of distance, Ed took care of himself and relieved Chersha’s heart.
Due to her unfavorable environment from the start, Ed was quick to read her thoughts and thoughts, which helped Chersha a lot in dealing with her.
However, even so, he did not think that he was the kind of genius that people often talk about. He just has what makes him different from normal people.
It was the kind of thing that even Ed himself couldn’t explain.
And as the time spent with Chersha increased, Ed fell for Chersha with all her heart.
Despite the irreconcilable difference in status, he thought of a way for him to be with her, but there was no way.
Then, the moment he heard that a knight family was trying to adopt him, Ed had a crazy thought.
—-Chersha To become her knight.
It was to become a knight who signed an exclusive contract with the wizard.
Exclusive contracts were also contracts that could only be concluded by wizards who had reached the highest level of being at least a 5th tier wizard or a great wizard.
It was a contract made under mutual agreement between the wizard and the knight, but the peculiarity was that the knight who reached the highest rank signed an oath of allegiance to the wizard, not his master.
It was an unusual and unusual contract in itself, and at the same time, the knight who signed the contract was to devote the rest of his life to the wizard who would become his master without even having a family.
Of course, as a knight who signed a contract with a high-ranking mage, he is treated higher than a nobleman with a decent title in everything.
However, there was a fatal flaw that a family could not be formed.
It was because the wizard is the master and the knight is to devote his life as a knight who is loyal to the wizard.
It was also the biggest cause of continuing to struggle with the position of the heir to the Edgar Glead family.
That he will be the successor to the Glead family.
It was an unprecedented opportunity for Ed, who had the status of a commoner at an early age, and it was like a miracle of a rapid rise in status that could only come out of a novel.
That meant carrying many things at the same time.
Ed himself will no longer be able to exist as himself.
He acted for the Glead family, and it was a position where he had to think for the Glead family.
And the successor must establish a family and pass on the line.
That’s why a person claiming to be the heir of the Glaad family couldn’t and shouldn’t have an exclusive contract with a wizard.
It’s coming soon.
The reason why Ed himself wants to become a higher rank knight.
His fundamental beliefs were denied.
