Episode 91
Episode 91. First boss, Lein (9)
Finding Leain wasn’t difficult.
Training ground number 2 on a low hill.
This is because one of his daily duties was to watch the children’s training there and give them advice.
“hmm? “Zero?”
As soon as I entered, Lein welcomed me.
Even sending away the child he was teaching.
“Hehe, hello.”
“Zero, what’s going on here? “I understand they usually use training ground number 3.”
He knows exactly where I am going.
You might think he’s a stalker, but that’s not true.
‘It’s natural to keep an eye on it. ‘Because I am a person of interest.’
Ranked 3rd in the entrance exam.
It is attracting the attention of the Eurydia faction and the Teron faction at a glance.
The first recipient of this award.
They even gave me instructions to bombard me with penalty points, and more recently, instructions to give me a store.
From Lein’s point of view, it would be a situation in which he had no choice but to not remember.
Well, the fact that I’m good-looking probably plays a role.
“Hehe, teacher Lein’s reputation is well-known at the academy. “She has many shortcomings, so she came to receive teachings.”
“haha! It’s giving me too much air. “If you don’t look at this properly, there will be backlash.”
A bright smile appeared on Lein’s lips.
The start is successful.
‘We need to get as many puzzle pieces as possible.’
A puzzle about a character named Lein.
There are quite a few empty pieces, but the two most important ones are:
‘The reason for the family’s own downfall, and the conditions for repentance.’
After working as a wandering knight and learning the secret techniques of other families, Lein visited his own family and defeated the head of the family.
He suddenly challenged his older brother to a duel and defeated him.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand it.’
Learning the swordsmanship of another family is an act that diminishes one’s pride, pride, and self-esteem as a noble.
But excluding that, it can be said that there is no particular problem.
Some prestigious families even paid money to teach arcane arts.
In other words, Lein learned the swordsmanship of another family and returned to his own family to challenge him to a duel.
‘It means that these two have no correlation at all.’
There is no causal relationship.
To be precise, the middle is empty.
The reason why he, who had a reputation as ‘Imitate Lein’, suddenly returned to his family and challenged them to a duel.
I had to figure it out.
And that reason will be the ‘key’ to repentance.
“Yes, Zero. What’s the problem? fence? Or how to fight? Just say anything. “I will do my best to guide you.”
“Hehe, that’s fine, but I came today because I wanted to know something.”
“Is this a question? Well, that’s not bad either. Ask me anything. “Zero is an excellent student, so I should tell him everything.”
Are they happy that I, who ranked 3rd in the entrance exam, came here? Or maybe I’m just happy because I have something to say to my friend.
Blank checks are overused.
‘Is it because it’s the boss in Chapter 1, or is it because I mainly deal with Charon…? … .’
The difficulty level of conversation is too easy.
What can I do if I give them a blank check? You should pick it up and use it right away.
He asked with a kind smile.
“Anything… … Does it really matter?”
“of course. I have to leave out what I don’t know, though. ha ha ha!”
A hearty laugh. But it didn’t take long for that smile to turn into a straight face.
“Why did you visit my family and ask for a duel?”
Doljikgu.
Lein’s expression became blank. As if I had been hit by a real stone.
“ah… … sorry. Originally I was going to ask something else… … They said they would answer anything, so stop. Hehehe, was that too rude?”
I scratched my head as if it was a child’s mistake.
He left his family and became a wandering knight, and after training for 10 years, the family he visited.
What was the reason for challenging the head of the family to a duel and brutally defeating him?
What is the cause of the hatred that led me to train for 10 years?
What was the reason for the downfall of the family, risking the dishonor of being called a traitor?
This is a question that can answer all three questions at once.
The odds of him answering were low, but there was no harm in throwing it out.
“… … “It’s because our family’s swordsmanship was poor.”
Eh? You can tell me so easily?
I was a little surprised, but I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
“Hehe, it’s a little hard to say this, but… … “It’s a bit hard to say that’s the reason.”
Cruelly trampling on his older brother because his swordsmanship is poor?
The reason was too weak. It means there is something more hidden.
Lein burst out laughing.
“I had an older brother. He was also the head of the family.”
“I know. “He ascended to the position of head of the family relatively early.”
“It did. But no one had any doubts. From what I can see, my brother’s abilities were outstanding. Swordsmanship, except for one thing.”
Lein began to grin.
Of course, it was a laugh full of unpleasant feelings.
When the gentle Lein made that expression, he seemed like a completely different person.
“Zero-kun, do you know what my older brother was called?”
“… … “I’ve never heard of it.”
“I’ve never heard of it… … . “It seems my efforts paid off.”
After muttering to himself for a moment, Lein spoke to me again.
“He was called ‘Lefael of all battles and defeats.’ This means that I have never won even in sparring, let alone a duel. Tsk tsk tsk!”
I’ve been thinking about it a bit, but this is the first time I’ve heard of this tinnitus.
For now, I kept it in my head and continued the conversation.
“Hehe, isn’t that possible? “The world of the powerful is different.”
“Yeah, I thought so too. Until you were defeated by a mere fourteen-year-old.”
“… … .”
I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
The head of a family was defeated by a fourteen-year-old child who hadn’t even entered the academy.
“What makes me even more angry is that I couldn’t win either. Then I realized. “There is a gap between a prestigious family and a third-rate family that can never be bridged!”
Only then could I understand Lein’s actions.
It is said that children of prestigious families train from a young age and receive various supports.
I can’t believe I was defeated by a kid who couldn’t even take off his boyish appearance.
‘From then on, I became obsessed with the prestigious family’s vision technology. ‘Because the brother I trusted was defeated miserably.’
It must have been quite a shocking event for Lein at the time.
“It’s not just that. The guy had his brother on his knees and was laughing heartily. “Is this even swordsmanship?”
Lein’s fists trembled.
It seemed like I was recalling memories of that time.
“What makes me more angry is that my brother endured it. To endure such insults… … That’s when I found out. “It’s the sadness of the weak.”
“… … .”
“The very next day, I left the family home. “I realized that what I had accumulated over the past 20 years was nothing.”
After that, it was as I knew.
Challenging the prosecutors, asking for guidance, putting aside pride and relying on a prestigious family.
After training for 10 years, he returned to his family and challenged his older brother to a duel.
“I wasn’t planning on having a duel. But my brother was still stubborn. So he had no choice but to show his skills… … however… … .”
Lein’s words ended there.
His head jerked and turned towards me.
“Do you know why I am saying this to you, Mr. Zero?”
I felt it before, but it was strange.
Not only did he answer the question that was difficult to answer without getting angry, but he also revealed his secrets.
“… … I do not know.”
“It’s because I feel sorry for your brilliant talent.”
Lein continued speaking, placing his hand on my shoulder.
“Be sure to learn the swordsmanship of a prestigious family. Only then can you succeed. “This world was designed to be theirs from the beginning!”
I could feel Lein’s hand on my shoulder trembling.
‘That’s what it was.’
Ranked 3rd in the entrance exam.
Not only is it something that many people talk about, but on the outside, I am full of talent.
However, he was not from a noble family, but from a commoner background.
From Lein’s perspective, he will be seen as a foolish disciple who is trying to walk down a thorny path on his own.
‘That’s too bad.’
Lein is consumed by a sense of inferiority and has no idea that he is being destroyed.
I felt truly sorry and sad.
‘… … Maybe it’s because he’s a good teacher.’
However, Lein is the boss of Chapter 1. And I’m a gamer.
He has to do his thing and I have to do mine.
He raised his arm and removed the hand from his shoulder.
“Hehe, I see. But that doesn’t make it okay to lie.”
“Are you lying? “What lie did I tell you?”
“You said you received guidance from the head of the Leicester family, right?”
“… … “That’s right.”
“Hehe, I actually know the real Ilseom.”
Lein trembled.
As expected, it was a lie to say that I received direct instruction from Renia.
It’s time to put pressure. He continued speaking while using the [Open Eyes] skill.
“There’s no way something like that could happen. That I met Renia. “Isn’t that in itself a lie?”
“Not like that!!”
It’s almost like a scream.
Leuin’s voice echoed throughout the training ground.
The children were surprised and glanced this way.
Ugh-.
At the same time, something flowed from Lein’s right hand.
A black energy full of ominousness.
‘Magida.’
It leaked out in a noticeable way.
Leain was embarrassed and quickly hid his right hand behind his back.
I turned my head, pretended not to see, and got lost in thought.
‘There may be more hidden stories… … .’
Any more than this is dangerous. The first party, including Rodelin, will attack Lein tomorrow, not today.
If I delve any further and go crazy here, the story will get twisted and everything will be a mess.
‘It’s a little disappointing. ‘I wanted to know the full story.’
But you have to give up your regrets.
Because I didn’t want to ruin the game by being stubborn.
If I clear this game and return to reality.
I’ll have to try again then and listen to Lein’s full story.
‘There’s one more reason to clear this game.’
He said to Lein.
“He said that if you want to succeed, you should learn swordsmanship from a prestigious family.”
“… … “I see.”
“I don’t think so. I am a person who believes that the beginning and end of all swordsmanship is the same. “The only other thing is the middle.”
“… … !”
Lein’s eyes widened. It was as if she was extremely shocked.
what. I was just trying to conclude the conversation. Why is it like that all of a sudden?
‘Are they really trying to run away?’
Just when I thought he might be taking out a magic sword.
“… … I’ll go first. “Take care of yourselves, Zero.”
Lein left the training ground in a remote location.
It was only after he was completely far away that I was able to take a breath.
‘Whew, I guess it was close? ‘I have to be careful.’
I leaned against the wall of the training room and started cleaning up.
A puzzle about a character named Lein.
I put the puzzle pieces I had just obtained there one by one.
Hard work.
An inferiority complex that goes beyond that.
The swordsmanship of the Fleur family, the family of Lein.
A noble family’s obsession with swordsmanship.
10 years of training.
A duel with the head of the family, his older brother.
Until the downfall of the family.
‘It’s finally finished.’
Not completely, but I was able to complete about 90% of it.
furthermore.
‘I know how to make him repent.’
Defeating him with the swordsmanship of the Fleur family, which Lein had ignored.
This was the way to make him repent.
Just because it’s from a prestigious family doesn’t mean it’s that great.
It makes you realize that the Fleur family’s swordsmanship is also excellent swordsmanship.
Then, you have no choice but to regret and repent, saying that you were wrong until now.
As I thought, it’s a perfect operation.
‘After all, it’s me?’
huh? Where are you going to learn the Fleur family’s swordsmanship?
Of course.
“Hehe, you should learn from Lein himself.”
Skills I have.
With the power of [Imitation of God].
