A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 4

Growing up (1)

For all warriors and wizards in the world, including swordsmen, there was a level scale indicating their skills from 1 to 10 stars.

A 1-star warrior who has begun to use mana becomes so fast that he can avoid a stone fired from a slingshot by seeing it with his eyes, and his overall body power becomes strong enough to climb two stories high with an easy jump.

What about durability? Not only do they recover and shake off most wounds easily, but their skin becomes slightly tougher and their bones become harder, so they are less likely to get hurt compared to ordinary humans.

From the 4th star onwards, you enter the rank of expert and are given the title of ‘lower knight’.

They can climb high places with a light jump, can avoid flying arrows, can freely emit sword energy from their swords, and even for a moment, they can cut through magic using sword steel.

From 7 stars… … This is the realm of superhumans, or ‘sword masters.’

Your senses become alert enough to catch an arrow flying from behind, and you become able to perceive everything around you even without looking.

In addition, he could always surround his sword with a sword, and it is said that the earth splits and the air vibrates with a single blow, so from this point on, he was truly at the level of a ‘superman’.

What about Fillion, an old knight belonging to the Calladun family?

He is a 6-star intermediate knight and a ‘subordinate knight’ who learned swordsmanship from Kaladan, and is said to have once made a name for himself on the battlefield.

With 6 stars, he is on the verge of becoming a sword master, a level that every swordsman dreams of, so there are many people in the world who want to learn from him.

Fillion, an old knight respected by knight trainees. Today, he even forgot his own dignity and was horrified when he saw Harang’s atrocities.

Break!

“Are we done now?”

Already the third one. It was the ‘Cheongmok Fossil’ that Harang destroyed with one blow.

It is not another ordinary log, but a fossil of bluewood.

It is said to be a tree as hard as a rock, and is often used as a training material by the Caladun family.

‘Even those who are called geniuses take at least a year, and most trainees are unable to break a single bluewood fossil in over three years, so they cannot even enter the formal training course.’

The conditions were too harsh for young children, but in a way, they were natural. I’m trying to learn the great Kaladun sword technique, but do you think I’ll be able to do it if I can’t even do that?

‘But, to succeed in one go.’

It’s been three months since the people from my family came to visit. Harang turned 7 years old and officially entered basic swordsmanship training.

Of course, I had no intention of teaching Kaladan sword techniques right away.

Equal opportunity for everyone.

Harang also had to completely destroy a bluewood fossil in order to learn the Kaladun sword technique, but as soon as basic training began, he ended up breaking one of the bluewood fossils.

At first I thought something was wrong.

I thought he might have broken another trainee’s bluewood fossil, which was already cracked.

So, I prepared a new bluewood fossil and brought it in front of him.

Break!

Three, no, four were already being shattered by Harang’s hands.

“S-stop. “Stop it now.”

Since the bluewood fossil was an expensive item, Fillion hurriedly stopped Harang.

“Uh, is it okay?”

“That’s enough. Master Harang is skilled enough to be taught the Kaladan sword technique.”

“… … !”

The person who jumped up was not Harang, but the other brothers who were listening to the story behind him.

“Nonsense!”

The first person to shout was Taron, a Kaladan collateral blood relative who was receiving training at the 7th Training Center. He was a 10-year-old boy, 3 years older than Harang.

“That doesn’t make sense! That damn kid is only seven years old! They say I’m a genius! I heard you’re a big fan of Caladern because you destroyed the Bluewood Fossil so quickly? “Didn’t you give that guy something weak?!”

Taron cried out in a voice of injustice.

In fact, he succeeded in breaking a bluewood fossil wooden doll in just two years, which was a rare talent.

However, Harang only lasted one day.

When you turned 7, you destroyed a bluewood fossil in just one day… … This was absolutely impossible.

“Little brother, be patient. “When that guy starts learning how to use a sword, then you can fight him in a duel.”

When the second older brother made a comment right next to him, Taron huffed but kept his mouth shut.

Taron showed remarkable patience for a child, and turned his head to return to his seat.

But they did not know.

Today, just one day.

Only at this moment, Harang has not yet been taught basic swordsmanship… … .

The fact that it was the only day where Taron had even the slightest chance of winning.

* * *

Before learning Kaladan’s sword techniques, Harang had to learn basic sword skills first.

This is truly absurd.

Originally, the usual order was to learn basic swordsmanship and train it through repeated learning every day before finally breaking the bluewood fossil.

“This is the basic sword technique of Kaladun.”

Mangyeolgeombeop, which means that ten thousand swords are connected and become one. It included downward strikes, top and bottom cuts that Harang already knew, but it went a little deeper and did something different.

In particular, Harang liked the sharp thrusting movements from time to time.

In the game, Harang used stabbing very often and quite usefully.

The strategy of quickly closing the distance to the enemy using unique walking techniques was often used, but in this case, a simple cut was too large and the sword did not have the power of speed, so there was no choice but to use thrusts often.

During his time as an active professional, Harang, who had raised his stats to the highest level by perfectly farming movement speed increasing items, was said to run faster than the wind and throw a thrust that no one could avoid, and was also called the ‘unguardable attack’.

Boom! As I was swinging the wooden sword casually, the instructor looked perplexed.

‘what? ‘Where did you learn from?’

Harang’s movements were so perfect.

Even in his past life, he had swung a sword every day and received the blessings of the system, so there was no way the basic movements would have been difficult, but there was no way he would have known that fact.

“Uh, um… … .”

“why?”

“Master’s progress is quite… … That’s fast. “I originally planned to learn the Mangyeolgeom technique in about a month, but I can go a little earlier.”

There were no students who objected to the instructor’s words.

There were a few older trainees who were jealous of Harang, who was making progress at an unrivaled rate, but after all, they were blood relatives, so why complain?

“Hmm… … .”

Fillion, who was watching from the side, couldn’t shake off a strange feeling.

‘Just like three months ago, Master Harang already has a very solid foundation.’

It was as if he had trained his sword skills for a long time.

But where and from whom did you learn it?

Fillion also doesn’t really like Harang.

The reason was simple.

This is because, although he was Kaladun, he was the child of Melise, who gave up the sword.

Not only Fillion but everyone in the Kaladan family has the same idea of ​​hating the weak.

So, no one would ever think of teaching Harang how to use a sword.

‘Then self-study? No, that’s impossible. ‘My posture was strong and solid.’

Fillion recalled Harang from three months ago. Even though it was clearly his first time holding a real sword, he swung it perfectly and cut a thin log into two pieces.

Yes, it seemed like there was only one conclusion if you had a strong foundation from the beginning even if no one taught you.

‘You’re a genius… … .’

In the eyes of the knights, Harang had already learned enough basic sword skills, but he continued to swing his sword again and again as if he was lacking something.

The instructor at first tried to stop him because he thought he was overdoing it on his first day, but Harang answered while sweating profusely.

“Because I couldn’t complete my goal.”

It’s only the first day and I don’t know what goal he set, but no one has stopped him since then.

Even though his arms and legs were shaking, he swung the wooden sword without stopping, and did not stop until the sun finally set and the training ended.

“young master. Regular training session has ended.”

He put down the wooden sword for a moment, drank some water, and then glanced at the instructor.

“Just because the regular training time is over, do I have to end the training unconditionally?”

“… … “That’s not it.”

However, most of the children were so tired that they fainted even after regular training, so there was no one left beyond that.

“Then I’ll swing a little more and go.”

“I wonder if I’m overdoing it…” … .”

“Because I couldn’t meet my goal.”

It’s that sound again. I don’t know what goal they are trying to achieve, but I don’t know how long that persistence will last. Are you going to work hard every day and stay at night to swing a wooden sword alone?

‘Are you struggling to get noticed because you’re an illegitimate child? There is no way. ‘I’ll be glad if it lasts three days.’

It would probably be a relief if I didn’t start crying because I was sick before three days had passed.

Just like that, even after everyone left.

Harang swung the wooden sword for more than several hours. To say that there is a ‘target’ in the first place is half a lie.

Although I didn’t have a specific goal in mind, it was true that I had a purpose.

A few days after that.

Even after completing all of his regular training sessions, Harang remained steadfast and swung his sword.

At first, instructor Hans thought that he was just playing tricks, but it was only a week into Harang’s training that he changed his opinion.

Late evening, after all regular training was over. Hans, who stopped by the training ground to look for supplies he had left behind, was horrified.

‘Huh, really… … ?’

It has been over 4 hours since training ended.

Even though no one was watching, Harang was still swinging the wooden sword. Even though her palms were all torn and a mixture of blood and sweat was dripping down, she seemed unaware of the pain and swung the sword again and again like a machine.

‘How can that happen?’

Hans was truly afraid.

I have heard of many people who simply show outstanding talent at a young age.

However, most of them quickly fell before they could even spread their wings. It was because he was so absorbed in his own talent that he neglected his efforts.

however… … If a person with talent puts in several times more effort than others, what will it be like when they spread their wings later?

Boom! Teong-!!

“omg!”

The wooden sword slipped out of Harang’s hand as he was constantly swinging, and it hit a nearby scarecrow and fell.

When Harang collapsed on the floor as if out of breath, Instructor Hans moved his body without realizing it and ran to him.

“Gwae, are you okay?!”

“… … Ah, Instructor Hans.”

He was laughing heartily even though he looked like he was almost fainting. Although I had only known Harang for a week, it was the first time I had seen him smile.

“Why are you making such a fuss… … “You’re not trying to swing me any further, are you?”

“No, I achieved my goal.”

“Target… … ? Are you still thinking about that?”

Harang slowly raised his head and looked into space.

[Acquire the trait ‘Challenger who never gives up.’]

[Ability growth speed increases by 200%, and efficiency decreases slightly each time the ability increases.]

This was it. One of the characteristics in the game that Harang so desperately wanted to have.

However, the effect of the characteristics obtained in this way was beyond Harang’s imagination.

It shows efficiency that is more than twice that of the characteristics in the game, which only had a 100% increase effect!

‘… … As long as I have this, I won’t have to worry about physical training at all.’

He got up weakly, grabbed the wooden sword he had dropped, and staggered back to his dorm. Hans felt goosebumps rising as he looked at the back.

What on earth awakened that little child’s obsession?

Is it anger over the birth of an illegitimate child?

Is it revenge on those who insulted my father?

Or, if not even that.

As Kaladan, as a swordsman, is it just a pure desire to become stronger?

Either way.

‘He is too precious to have grown up in such a remote training ground.’

He had to be taught somewhere better and with more opportunities than here.

For example, the Gemstone Training Center of the White Night Castle, where only selected blood relatives can enter… … .

Hans thought so and closed the door to the training hall. Normally, he would have fastened the clasp firmly, but he didn’t bother to do so. He wasn’t going to lock it, at least not until Harang left here.
