Vision of the Sword Star (1)

After completing the duel for rankings, Harang was called separately by Lauren Chagan.

“Now, this is a certificate showing that you completed the training at the top. “Every member of the Kaladan blood family has one, but since you are young, it has a special meaning.”

“Now you call me master?”

“of course. Because I finished my education. Well, anyway, I’m not leaving the White Night Castle. I’m going to go to the 2nd Gemstone Training Squadron and learn the Kaladan sword technique, but I’m sure you won’t run into me.”

White Night Castle was a fortress so large that it could be considered a small city. From now on, unless Harang makes up his mind to come visit me, I won’t have to face Lauren.

‘Hmm, I wanted to learn some magic, but I guess I’m just greedy.’

The fact that he used magic was a secret he did not reveal to others.

There is no particular sin in using magic. As far as Harang knew, some of his blood relatives, the Folden Knights, even learned magic as an aid.

Likewise, it is said that wizards from magic families learn martial arts to improve their physical strength.

The reason why Harang did not reveal his magic right away was largely because he was hiding it as a kind of secret weapon.

Someday, when fighting for your life, you will be able to reap great benefits if you use magic as a surprise.

“Do you remember that you have to participate in the Honorary Swords Club in half a year? You’ll probably be competing against kids your age, and most of them will win easily… … “Beware of the girl named ‘Chorien’ from the Emblitz family.”

“Chorien? “Who are you?”

“It’s not as good as you, but it’s a gem that reached 1 star at the age of 8 and beats up swordsmen older than itself.”

“oh.”

Harang’s eyes twinkled with interest. When he became interested, Lauren also excitedly explained.

“I’m one year older than you… … I’ll probably participate in this year’s honorary sword meeting as well. “Yes, you are only a 2-star swordsman, and you, who have overcome the 3-star sword, can easily handle it, but that child has already learned the Emblitz family’s peak season and five righteousness.”

Geukseongjeolgi (極成戰奇) is the strongest technique that a warrior can use, and is usually only taught to a select few among the direct lineage of the family.

Not all families have it, and it is known to be passed down to direct blood relatives in a few prestigious families, including the three great swordsmanship families.

Of course, the Five Righteousnesses and the Polar Seasons existed in Caladern, but Harang had not yet learned them. Now that he has completed his basic training in the Midnight Night City, he cannot afford to learn such things.

From now on, I will go to the second training center and learn the seasons and five rites… … There will not be enough time to master it completely within half a year.

‘Hmm, it’s the peak season. I think I’ll learn about Oui soon through quests, and I think I can make that one if I put my mind to it.’

While Harang was thinking such irreverent thoughts, Lauren continued to give advice.

“Hopefully, it would be best not to be defeated by Chorien. “If you do that, Your Majesty will be very angry.”

“I’ll engrave it.”

The Emblitz family was one of the three great swordsmanship families.

In other words, since he was no different from Caladern’s rival, Duke Kal-El had no choice but to react sensitively.

‘Even if there are no such circumstances, I have no intention of losing.’

Lauren, seeing Harang’s strong will, smiled in satisfaction and took something out of her arms. It was a thick magic book that had just been bound.

“This is a graduation gift. “This is a binding of a battle spellbook I wrote myself.”

“Is it really a magic book?”

“okay. You may be busy learning the sword right now, but one day you’ll have to deal with a wizard, right? In that case, magic knowledge will be quite helpful. “I’m giving it to you specifically because you’re a student I really like, so don’t ever show it to anyone else.”

“of course. This is so precious… … .”

‘Something valuable?’

Usually, children of knightly families tend to look down on magic.

From their point of view, where they aim to be the strongest as a sword, a magician with weak physical strength who flails flames and thunderbolts indiscriminately seems pitiful.

So, I almost felt a little disappointed when I heard the answer, ‘I deal with wizards and the like, so I don’t need to study,’ but I was shocked to hear an answer that was completely unexpected.

Maybe it was because he had been recognized as a wizard by Duke Kal-El before, but Harang’s words sounded especially happy. Harang’s wide vessel, which even accepts magic as ‘power’, almost seemed to overlap with Duke Kal-El’s.

Sigh!

As if he wasn’t just saying this, as soon as he received the magic book, Harang opened it and was frantically looking through it.

With such incredible concentration, he even forgot that Lauren was standing in front of him and was completely absorbed in it.

‘I can’t believe a swordsman’s family, or even Caladern’s son, is so interested in magic… … .’

The more you look at him, the more surprising, unique and amazing he is. Harang, who was absentmindedly reading the magic book, her eyes sparkled.

‘Hey, isn’t that great? It’s my first time seeing magic used in this way.’

Contrary to Lauren’s thoughts as to whether she really understood, Harang went beyond understanding and was already starting to grasp the details.

‘It’s battle magic. ‘I tend to focus on memorizing and accelerated casting.’

It was a very interesting magic, so I was immersed in it for a while, but Lauren snapped her fingers and I had no choice but to wake up from my thoughts.

“Come on, read that later. “Now that we’re breaking up, I’d like to give you one more piece of advice. Is that okay?”

“Do you need permission? Any advice from a 7-star wizard is welcome.”

“… Ha, thank you for saying that.”

Since Lauren was from a family of knights and was looked down on by knights because she was a wizard, Harang’s treatment like that was refreshing.

“From now on, you will learn the Kaladan sword technique in earnest. He may be frustrated that he has to spend more time living in the White Night Castle, but he must keep this one thing in mind. He must not go outside the White Night Castle until he is sufficiently able to fend for himself. Not even one step. okay?”

Harang nodded.

His thoughts were the same. I had no intention of leaving the White Night Castle until I achieved 4 stars in swordsmanship.

His current achievements.

2 stars in swordsmanship, 1 star in magic, 1 star in dragon language.

It’s definitely amazing for its age, and it’s definitely at an unbelievable level, but it’s still not enough to protect itself.

‘The moment you officially become Foldon, there is a possibility that you will be caught up in the family ranking war. There must be some brothers who want to attack me.’

The Midnight Castle is the final defense system to protect young Kaladan, and no matter what happens, a ranking war must not be fought here.

‘The goal is… … 4 stars in swordsmanship, 3 stars in magic.’

If you reach that level of achievement, you can say that you have achieved a certain level of self-care.

“I don’t plan to take a single step out of the White Night Castle until I achieve the goal I have set for myself.”

Lauren looked into Harang’s firm eyes and smiled.

‘I hope that the young master in front of me survives and causes a great change in Caladern.’

* * *

After finishing his conversation with Lauren, Harang returned to his dorm and opened the door.

“huh?”

There was a pile of gift boxes on the desk.

“What is all this?”

As Harang was staring at the box in confusion, a girl’s voice was heard from behind.

“There is a culture of giving gifts to congratulate the first graduate from Gisu. “I didn’t expect that the first graduate would be just one person.”

When I looked back, I saw Cheren looking at Harang with his arms crossed. Theon was standing next to him, and it was surprising because he looked even more proud of himself as he watched Harang running ahead.

Cheren grew taller faster than the boys, and Theon was also taller than average, so it felt strange that they were both looking up at Harang.

“Giving a gift to the first graduate? “I didn’t know there was such a thing.”

Then Theon laughed and gave a sharp blow.

“I guess you didn’t know because you didn’t make any friends and lived alone.”

“… … .”

That’s right. Even after training time was over, I stayed in my personal training room and studied magic, ran simulations through meditation, and trained my sword, constantly becoming stronger.

Cheren pursed his lips as he looked at Harang, who was standing quietly.

She knows too. As a ‘direct pureblood’, Harang was born with the qualities of a king more perfect than anyone else.

Cheren maintains a ‘close’ relationship with the trainees at best, and has a somewhat informal relationship with his friends, so there is no doubt that he has developed a closer relationship with them.

What is Harang like? He did not maintain a close relationship with his trainees.

However, he had become a ‘leader you can trust and rely on’. He is a world away from Cheren, with whom he maintains a close friendship at best.

But that wasn’t Harang’s intention. He had no idea that the trainees trusted and followed him. This is because he is running only looking ahead without paying attention to the people behind him.

“You can’t do that if you want to survive in Caladorn.”

“huh? why?”

Harang had a strange feeling because he never thought Cheren would say such a thing. She slightly averted her gaze.

“No matter how strong you are on your own, you can’t do anything if you lose in a political battle. You may not be able to build any achievements because you are only sent on arduous missions, or you may be deprived of all training time. You must have someone in your family who supports you. I’m not saying you should do it for yourself. “It is absolutely necessary to protect your precious people.”

Harang couldn’t help but be slightly surprised by Cheren’s words. He thought she was mature for her age, but she was much more thoughtful.

‘Is that what you were thinking about?’

A story too difficult and dark for only twelve girls to tell.

Harang chuckled and tried to pat Cheren’s head, but held back. She would be angry if she did something like that because Cheren was now two years older than Harang was.

“Yeah, I’ll keep that in mind.”

“… … “You just need to know.”

When Cheren, who was grumbling, tried to go back, he quickly grabbed her arm.

“Cheren.”

“… … “I’m older than you.”

“Yes, sister. “Is your goal to become the head of the family too?”

Cheren looks like he’s wondering what kind of nonsense that is.

“As long as you are born as a direct descendant of Caladun, you can’t help but dream of becoming the head of the family. “There is nothing more honorable than challenging the pantheon.”

She didn’t bother to talk about the curse.

As Kala’dun, there is nothing more weak than saying out loud, ‘I train my sword to survive.’

“Don’t answer like that. honestly.”

“what… … ?”

What kind of question is this? Cheren stared at him blankly for a moment, as it was not a question a pureblood from Kaladan could possibly ask a pureblood.

Harang’s deep, bright silver-white eyes looked right into her.

“I-I…” … .”

She hesitated for a moment.

Definitely, as Harang said.

‘… … I don’t want to be the head of the Caladern family.’

Due to the oppression of my parents and to survive. So she had no choice but to set her goal of becoming the head of the family and train her sword, but what Cheren really wanted to do was something else.

“I have no reason to tell you.”

“are you okay. “Because it’s important that my sister’s real dream is separate.”

“what?”

Harang said with a grin.

“Someday, in the distant future. If I reach the peak of Kaladun as a sword and become the head of the family… I will lift the curse from all blood relatives. “Every single one of you.”

“what? “That is impossible.”

“There is nothing in this world that is impossible. “Just like when I defeated a 3-star swordsman and took first place in a ranking duel.”

I couldn’t bear to refute whether that was in the same context as this.

Cheren felt a strangely mysterious feeling. As she stares into Harang’s eyes, she somehow gains strength in those words and begins to believe them.

A strong belief that things will really turn out as he says in the future.

“People who help me. People who love me. “I will save everyone who protects me.”

After hearing those words, Cheren blinked blankly.

It feels like I’m talking to a righteous knight… … .

I couldn’t believe that my younger brother was shorter than me.

“… … “Why are you telling me that?”

Harang smiled softly at her question.

“If at any time you feel like giving up, just tell me. “I will protect you.”

Cheren’s eyes widened at that, and for the first time she had the expression of a girl of her age, and threw up her arms in embarrassment.

“No thanks? I’ll take care of that. “I’m going to leave now, so please say goodbye to the kids properly before you leave.”

Saying that, Cheren quickly ran away to his quarters. Theon stood still and spoke to Harang.

“If you want to say hello to the kids, tell them. “I will collect it for you.”

Harang chuckled.

“done. Everyone will have graduated from here anyway and will be seen at the next training center as students, so why are they doing such a thing? go first “Tell them to follow me.”

“… … !!”

After Harang spoke indifferently and took his bag and left, all the trainees who were hiding near the dormitory and eavesdropping on their conversation were so moved that they put their fists in their mouths and shed tears.

‘her… … ‘That’s what you were thinking?’

Theon looked behind him with a bewildered expression.

Although Harang’s back was quietly leaving, it felt tall and big.
