How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman - Chapter 52



52 – Special training and special lectures (6)

After returning from ＜The Demon’s Den＞.

When preparing for a special lecture with Ray in earnest.

I came up with a topic for the lecture without taking much time.

“I think I need to explain about the escaped beast.”

“… “You mean the escape monster?”

“hmm.”

A magical beast that escaped the ‘origin’.

Now, many heroes of the continent were aware of its existence, but the fact was still not announced in the Kingdom of Klepe.

A little more solid information and achievements.

And it was because of the desire to catch the most effective time and announce it.

I focused right there.

most effective time.

It was, perhaps, something I could have made up.

“The operation that the royal family first asked me for cooperation was to search for the escape monster in the red forest area. And this became an opportunity for me to become known as a prosecutor hero, and also thanks to that, I was able to take on the role of a special lecture at an invited symposium.”

“… ah.”

Hearing that, it seems that Ray also understood.

Yes.

This could also be the justification for persuading the royal family.

“Many heroes of the continent are not yet aware of the danger of escape. that would be natural Until now, monsters were monsters that could only be seen at the source of monster dens or in the land of ruins. The royal family is probably thinking about how to publicize it widely and efficiently.”

“… Edgar-sama is doing that role.”

“Accurate.”

As expected, the royal family accepted our offer.

The fastest way for me to contact the royal family is, of course, my father.

My father had a personal interview with His Majesty King Lucius Clepe and returned an affirmative answer.

“His Majesty allowed it. An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will come soon.”

This is why everyone seems to be in a relationship.

Since he had a marquis-level hero as his father who could face the King directly, it was definitely quick and easy to deal with when he was about to proceed with a large task.

Thanks to my father, I was able to continue preparing for the lecture at a rapid pace.

“By the way, Mr. Edgar. How are you going to communicate the danger?”

In the meantime, Ray suddenly tilted his head and asked.

A face that shows no idea how to prepare for a lecture.

I answered him with a smile.

“I have to call the Witchbeast myself.”

“… yes?”

“Of course, not really.”

The answer lies in the unfinished magic tools being produced by the Special Education Department.

It is a magic tool called a ‘model monster’. It is a special magic tool that creates the shape of a specific monster by combining various magic stones and by-products, and allows you to directly experience its majesty.

Its original purpose was to help hunt more efficiently.

Basically, monsters are unique individuals, so when heroes hunt, they all encounter them for the first time, so even if they know how to hunt, they don’t know what variables will arise when they encounter them.

The ‘model monster’ was intended to reduce variables as much as possible by directly showing its shape.

“We are expanding that territory a little bit more.”

I decided to go a step further and use this guy as a training material.

In other words, by assuming this model monster to be a kind of escape monster and appearing at the beginning of the lecture… It’s directly imprinting that danger on the heroes.

What if a demonic beast suddenly appeared in the auditorium of the military academy?

if.

What if the Witchbeast rushes through the citizens in the middle of the capital?

It would probably be a mess to the extent that it couldn’t be compared to the appearance of ‘escape monsters’.

“Like, like in the auditorium here right now.”

I looked at all the heroes gathered in the auditorium one by one and said.

They thought that the real Demonic Beast had appeared just 10 minutes ago.

That, too, is a powerful third-tier monster called Red Burn Grills-.

In an instant, the inside of the auditorium became a mess, and some cadets ran outside.

And after the situation is over.

From noble mtl dot com

It was for the same reason that the vice-captain of the Guard Knights was very angry with me.

The monster really appeared, and I thought it was a threat to Her Highness, the 3rd princess.

“The high-ranking heroes here must have already heard about the escaped Demon Beast being tracked by the Kingdom of Klepe. Either through concrete information or through rumors.”

At my words, the heroes who came as representatives from other countries nodded little by little.

You probably won’t know.

The ‘Beast Hunting Squad’, a group of heroes that the kingdom cherishes the most in the Kingdom of Clef, was dispatched to related operations, and diplomatic problems arose as they invaded the borders of the Kingdom of Kespa.

In particular, ＜The Witch’s Lair＞, which was discovered in the process, was already emerging as a hot topic in academic circles on all continents.

“There is a huge difference between imagining a risk in your head and experiencing it yourself. It must be the same reason why Count Katumen, vice-captain of the Guard Knights, urged me on. I just thought the situation was really dangerous.”

“… Great.”

Count Katumen, who had been brought back unintentionally, cleared his throat, but his actions showed the danger of the situation most clearly.

What I intended in this special lecture and its content.

＜Escape and Danger of the Demonic Beast＞.

The title of the lecture was exactly right.

“Hoo… .”

Although facing the front, I can feel a strange gaze from one side of the front row.

The third princess, Bellaria Clepe.

At first, she asked me for an explanation with icy eyes, but now she was looking at me with eyes that seemed to be even more interested.

It’s the first time I’ve seen him, so I don’t know what the emotions in those eyes are.

‘Is this enough to pass?’

… At least you won’t be dragged away for threatening royalty, right?

It seems to have satisfied me, but the anxiety did not go away.

Besides, just staring at her with such a beautiful appearance, it seemed that she was somehow burdened.

“Now, wait a minute. Instructor Edgar, then, are you really saying that witchcraft from earlier is fake?”

Fortunately, there was someone nearby to help me.

Likewise, a representative special hero from another country is sitting in the front row.

It was Sir Chaser, the ＜demon beast recorder＞ of the Bedlien Holy Kingdom.

I nodded and continued explaining.

“That’s right. To be exact, it is a special magical tool called ‘Model Demon Beast’. “It is still an unfinished magic tool, but for today’s special lecture, we went through some adjustments and presented it first.”

“So, there is such a magic tool?”

“yes. However, commercialization still requires a lot of time. You must be at least level 4 or higher to be able to use this magic tool properly, and among them, only heroes with a significant amount of magical power can do this. Of course, as I said before, the magic tool itself is not a finished product.”

“ah… !”

That means I am a hero who not only possesses the 4th crossroads but also possesses an overwhelming amount of magical power.

I could feel the heroes looking at me with admiration at that special declaration.

But I wasn’t interested in those longing gazes.

… Now is your chance.

I took advantage of their concentration and quickly said thank you.

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my infinite gratitude to His Majesty King Lucius Clepe, ruler of the great kingdom, for allowing this production. We would also like to thank Antonio Seifen, the dean of the Military Academy, and senior Rodrion, an honorary second-class chair instructor in the Department of Special Education, who provided us with the magical tools.”

This direction has already been discussed with the military academy and the royal family during the production process.

The official in charge received approval from His Majesty the King, and Dean Antonio Seiffen also gave approval, saying it would be an interesting lecture.

However, for the dramatic effect of the lecture, it seems to have been kept secret from Princess Bellaria and members of the Royal Guard.

In other words.

Even when Count Katumen said earlier that he would submit a report to the royal family, I wasn’t scared at all.

… This is because the royal family approved it in the first place.

“Keu, keuhm.”

Count Katumen, perhaps realizing this fact too late, cleared his throat in embarrassment once more.

“Instructor Edgar. Then, how did the center of the auditorium stage collapse when the Witchbeast first appeared?”

This time, a female hero with rugged clothes and a sharp impression raised her hand.

It is a familiar appearance.

This is the person Ray emphasized when he informed the number of attendees for this lecture… Was it Viscount Bel Karenina of the Ben-Hur Kingdom?

I heard that he was in charge of the captain of the special fleet, and indeed he could feel that momentum even across the stage.

For some reason, ‘Clan of the Sea’ Reese said, “Instructor! That person is our kingdom hero!”

I answered her questions honestly.

“I took it down myself.”

“directly… You mean?”

“yes. To be exact, I used a bit of coincidence. At the same time as using it, a replica monster appeared, and it would have seemed to everyone that the replica monster destroyed it.”

Wooyeon used the ＜Vortex in the Sword＞ contained in the treasured sword ＜Polik＞.

A powerful special coincidence that pulverizes a single target by utilizing magic while stabbing the sword.

When this was used in the center of the stage in the auditorium, a large hole was made in the center and it was smashed.

It was an overly destructive performance, but it was certainly effective in the dramatic appearance of the Witchbeast.

“That, that… !”

But did they find out the identity of my treasured sword ＜Polik＞?

I can see Viscount Bel Karenina looking at the sword in surprise.

Most of the heroes who want to make a name for themselves in the Ben-Hur Kingdom seem to know that they are the ‘Lost Treasure of the Kingdom’.

“This part isn’t that important, so let’s skip it. Now, would you all take a seat?”

I thought I had finished the most important Q&A, and asked the seated audience to take their seats.

It was only then that the heroes in the auditorium calmed down little by little and began to sit down.

… and.

‘… Why are you staring at me?’

I can feel it from the left side of the front row…

Intense gaze with no intention of stopping.

The pressure of those gazes was constantly letting me know that the lecture was not over yet.
