My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 2. Awakening of the Hero (5)

[Your way of speaking, something pisses me off.]

‘What can I do if I get angry? My mouth has a filter on it, so I can’t say what I want.’

“So what are you going to do? There’s nothing you can do.”

[What a position to listen to a guy who doesn’t even have blood on his head. It’s a tool.]

“I didn’t come here to listen to your shinpa.”

I rolled my eyes here and there, trying to find Phasma. However, it seemed that he would not be able to see him unless he drew out his sword.

[Malbonsae is very dirty. The person who came to me must be like this. What is fate?]

“The dead talk too much.”

To the point of admiration for my muzzle, which does not hesitate to insult the deceased.

[If I were alive, I would have cut off your head.]

“Isn’t it a waste of time, useless thoughts? Take care of the truth. I have come to make a deal with you.”

I drew my sword and threw it into the ground.

[Equipped with 「Unshakable Vengeance」.]

[You can temporarily use the skill 「Ghost」.]

The moment I grabbed the sword, I began to see a red heroic spirit in front of me.

Despite the passing of many years, with two generations changing, he was a muscular man who looked only about middle-aged.

Is there only Hellchang in this world? All men are muscular.

[Deal? You mean dealing with the dead? What, are you going to give me life?]

“It is too much for the dead to covet.”

[Other than that, what are you planning to give me?]

“I can tell you the framework of ‘Welcome to the Dance’ that you could not complete in your lifetime.”

Welcome dance.

It was a sword dance that made dozens or hundreds of cuts so fast that the body looked like an illusion. The number of times varied depending on the situation, but it was a technique that moved as if drawing a circle and had irregular movements.

In fact, it was Tina’s implementation in the game, so it was unclear how far she could follow what she saw with her eyes.

[What?! How do you guys know my skills? I don’t remember raising a disciple!]

“It doesn’t matter. The important thing is that I can give you the framework of the technique. What are you going to do?”

[Then what do you want?]

As expected, he’s a quick-witted man.

Thanks to that, the conversation seemed to move quickly.

“What I want to ask for is ‘Ariel’s shoes.'”

[The shoes worn by Ariel. Surely, you intend to take it buried where I died? However, they cannot enter because of the barrier Ariel created. It’s a place only I can go to.]

“Yes. Only you can enter But I also have a way to get in. If you, the vengeful spirit, are possessed by my body, then I can enter too.”

[Huh. He’s a real crazy guy. If you enter the barrier created by Ariel, he may think you are an intruder and try to kill you.]

“Meeting the Spirit King is not easy, so it is worth looking forward to.”

[If you meet, you will surely die. I recognized the level of your body touching my sword. You are weak Motor nerves, muscle strength, elasticity, sense, dynamic vision, none of them are properly developed. Not even the weakest villagers are like this. An incompetent person who appears only once in a hundred years―]

“Enough with the rubbish. It’s unpleasant.”

Are you thinking of breaking bones with facts? He’s a bad guy this.

I was still thinking that I might become a bit stronger, but when that hope was shattered, I started to hate him.

[Still, one magic power is excellent. The inherent magic power is incredible. It wouldn’t be bad to live as a wizard.]

“Give me a bottle and give me medicine?”

[What are the attributes of the skill you have?]

He easily ignored my words and responded with a question.

“Nothing like that.”

[If you don’t have it, you’re disqualified even as a wizard.]

“Shut up, damn inspiration.”

[Woah, inspiration?! This bastard! I am not old enough to be called an inspiration!]

The heroic spirit is indignant. I feel pressure all over my body. His body began to shrivel at the energy emanating from him.

[Skill [Survival] Is activated.]

When he opens his eyes, his spirit is consumed in an instant.

[Kuhuheugh! Oh, what kind of spirit do you mean! Its spirit is at a level that even the commander of the legion of demons could not achieve! Could it be that you have powers that even I can’t recognize? However, it seems that the muscle mass and motor nerves are not very good…….]

Hana life seems to be a real gem.

If even the sword master admired it, there was no doubt anymore.

Only five people have entered the level of sword master throughout the history of the empire.

Phasma was the last fifth, and since then no sword masters have appeared.

However, as Tina becomes the sixth Sword Master, a new history begins to be written.

In just a few days, he completes the unfinished dance of illusions and becomes the best swordsman that surpasses Phasma.

And then he started being called a hero.

“I didn’t come here to compete with you. Say it again What I want are the shoes Ariel wore. As a negotiation tool, I will inform you of the welcome. How is it?”

[…] … I’m sorry, but I can’t give you the shoes Ariel gave me.]

I expected it, but I need to add one more.

“Then I will give you a chance to defeat the demons. How about this?”

[What?]

His spiritual body shakes. He looked bewildered.

His resentment stemmed from the regret of not being able to protect the people from the demons.

He recalled an episode of him terribly beating himself up even as he was dying.

“I know what you have lingering attachments to, wandering this world.”

[Even, how the hell do you guys know about me so well?]

“I don’t want to tell you that.”

[…] … How do you plan to give that opportunity?]

Pasma cautiously asked if his curiosity was piqued.

“Raise a disciple.”

[I don’t raise disciples.]

A sigh came out at the determined attitude. He’s a really inflexible and stubborn person.

“For you to remain in this world, someone must remember you. The reason you have been able to remain in this world up to now is not only because of your position as a sword master, but also because Ariel remembered you.”

[What? Does Ariel remember me?!]

I don’t think it’s a true birth solo.

I actually shed a tear at the drama between the two.

Looking at it up close, it’s f*cking pissing me off. Ji is the stuffy dull main character of the light novel, what is it?

If you’re going to do this, go out with a sword, why are you obsessed with Ariel? It’s almost NTR.

“…… Go ahead and ask yourself about it. Anyway, there’s a girl you might like, so I’ll introduce you. Defeat the demons together with that child.”

[…] … I just want to ask Isn’t that your guy?]

“No.”

[Then let’s take a look at the status. Whether or not he is capable of defeating demons. If it’s okay, I’ll accept the child as a disciple.]

I admit that I’m weak, but I don’t like the nuance of what you say.

Still, the recruitment was successful. In this state, it seemed that he could be raised to the ranks of the warriors much faster by reducing the time.

* * *

“Is this here?”

It was near the driveway in the forest connected to the entrance of the village.

[You need to enter more.]

Go into the forest. As I go deeper and deeper, thick trees and vines block my path. The moment I passed through it, I came to an area where the forest was greatly damaged.

A strange plain lay in the middle of the forest. Now that the grass has grown, I couldn’t see it closely, but I felt a sense of incongruity as if it had been artificially created.

“Here you go.”

Tung! When I reach out, something blocks me.

Obviously there is a way, but I can’t move forward as if it’s blocked by a wall.

“This is where you died.”

[Yes. It was to buy time for the villagers to evacuate. But it failed.]

“What is the name of that corps commander?”

[How did you know that the corps commander killed me?]

He looks surprised.

“In the next few years, demons will attack the empire once again. Even then, the corps commander who killed you will come. I plan to prepare for that time.”

[How many years later? Are you a prophet?]

“Answer me.”

[…] … The name of the legionnaire who killed me is Peremus, who crushes all living things with force.]

Is that Peremus?

The information is unmistakable.

The second-in-command in the Demon Realm, a strong man with overwhelming force that says that a city can be razed in half with a single punch.

In the game, it was a mid-boss.

He had to put the warriors to the top as soon as possible because he was a guy who could only win if three warriors joined forces.

If you put it on the top, you’ll be able to fight and defeat them easily.

[That level must be a little weaker than the Demon Lord. If he attacks again, will he be able to stop it…….]

“It can be prevented. Because I am.”

[Huh, what can you do with a subject with a weak body?]

“If you think in one dimension, you can see it that way. But a fight begins before it becomes physically attached.”

JP keeper 100 times 100 times.

My greatest weapon is ‘information’.

There is no way I can defeat the corps commander just by covering my whole body with artifacts.

Considering the artifact’s ability applied at a percentage rate, even if I applied 200% attack power to my body, which had a value of 1, it would only be 2.

So I desperately sought and raised a hero.

“Then I will enter the barrier. Phasma, are you ready to be possessed?”

[…] … No problem.]

“Don’t worry about that. Then we begin.”

[Equipped with 「Unshakable Vengeance」.]

[You can temporarily use the skill 「Ghost」.]

“「Ghost」.”

Vengeful Ghost is a skill that allows you to possess the soul of Phasma that dwells in this sword into your body.

This means that he can temporarily use his swordsmanship, which was a sword master, and the range of skills varies depending on the user’s ability.

“As expected, it is a rotten body.”

My mouth was moving, but it wasn’t what I was saying. These were the words of Phasma possessing my body.

I feel like I have two selves in one body.

“I can feel the strange power. But is magic really real?”

The moment he loads mana into his sword, it glows blue.

It was an aura sword.

It’s similar to how Incuro borrows the power of spirits to put mana on a sword, but it could be said to be a more pure power than that.

Even if it’s just a hard steel sword, the moment an aura is applied, it becomes the best sword that can cut through anything.

I would say it is a sword that even the King of Spirits can cut.

“Go in.”

“…… Okay.”

He didn’t move his body as he answered.

“Are you embarrassed to see it after a long time?”

“Uh. To be honest, I don’t know what to look at.”

I guess so. We haven’t seen each other in over a hundred years.

But the fact that Ariel still remembers him proves that he loved him so much that he could not forget it even after a hundred years.

“Perhaps Ariel still loves you.”

“Love…… ? How can she love me I’m just a human, and she’s the spirit king.”

“Asshole.”

“What?!”

I don’t like it because I feel like swearing at myself.

“You don’t know even though we’re together like that, you’ve been single all your life.”

“But I… ….”

“It was useless. I don’t have time I plan to go back soon after I see something to see.”

I couldn’t wait forever. Since he had already spent a lot of time with the purification stone, there was a possibility that Dex and the boys would come to him if he dragged on for longer.

I had to finish everything before that.

“You are more heartless than I thought.”

“It’s better than a ignorant nobleman.”

While grumbling like that, I stepped into the barrier.

My body, which had just been pushed out of repulsion, naturally passed through the barrier.

“Go to the location where you died. She would have buried her shoes where you died.”

“How on earth do you know such things-“

Wheein!

A strong wind roars.

“Ah…… You are right. Phasma.”

“…… ?”

“Come. Your girlfriend.”

“Girlfriend?”

I listened to his bewildered words and looked into the air. There, green winds gathered and swirled.

“How did humans break through my barrier? This is a place with memories of the person I loved. If you don’t leave immediately, I will destroy your body and soul!”

A voice resonates in my head like a telegraph from martial arts. You look pretty angry.

As the vortex recedes, Ariel appears.

Her appearance was as beautiful as a combination of her fairy and elf.

She was wearing a dress with a noble design that seemed to be made of leaves down her long blonde hair.

The description is the same whether in the game or here.

I will praise you, real illustrator. It’s terribly pretty.

“Nice to meet you. Ariel. No, the wind spirit king. I am-“

“Eri.”

Phasma interrupted me. It was a voice full of longing for him.

To be honest, I was a bit surprised. The fact that a voice mixed with emotions came out of my mouth.

Are you saying I’m the only one whose facial expression management skills apply even if I use one body?

“You dare to scorn me, the King of Spirits!!”

“It’s me, Eri! Me… Phasma!”

He puts his hand on his chest and shouts.

“…… What?”

Wow, that bewildered expression is spectacle.

The hand that was stretched out to use wind magic on me droops.

“Pasma?”

What should I say about this?

Do I have to watch this cheesy new wave to get a relic? Can’t I just leave it out

But since I was the original owner of the body, I had no choice but to watch the touching reunion of the two right in front of me.
