Episode 92. First boss, Lein (10)
“Lululu~.”
When I figured out Leuin’s strategy, I couldn’t help but hum.
‘Where is our Luna?’
I had to explain my plans for tomorrow.
Although I am the only one fighting, something unexpected can happen.
I was thinking of keeping it on standby at some distance in case an emergency situation arises.
“Zero! “Here!”
Luna waved her hand and welcomed me from afar.
Clack-clack-clack-.
Yes, I see. So you guys are glad to see me too, are you welcoming me?
Hahaha, you guys.
The smile disappeared from my face.
‘… … Are you still doing that?’
Luna, as well as Leger, still had chains wrapped around their wrists.
Well, it was natural since the two of them were one set, but I felt that people were looking at me strangely and I thought they would soon remove the chain.
“Wow, why are there so few people today? “Where did everyone go to play?”
“yes?”
“It’s really unfortunate. “If only someone had met me, they would have said they wanted to be friends with Leger.”
Luna grumbled.
No one? No way. There are dozens of people I passed by on the way here.
‘Then it seemed like he was running away from something… … .’
If so, then… … .
“It would have been really fun to walk around with this together. yes?”
Clack-clack-clack-.
The chain, bathed in the glow of the sunset, showed off its appearance.
I think it’s true. Dozens of children passed me by.
He must have run away from Luna and Leger.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“… … yes?”
“Quickly come to work and tie me up. “I have to find someone who can be Leger’s friend.”
“… … .”
And that evening, until I returned to the dormitory.
We couldn’t meet a single person.
* * *
Late at night. Lein’s office.
“Ugh… … .”
Lein covered his head with both hands. Because a terrible headache was tormenting him.
I picked up the medicine cabinet to take the medicine.
My right hand went out without me realizing it.
Since I have lived my entire life as a right-hander, it was a natural reaction.
Kkwajijik-.
The medicine bottle was crushed in my hand. He acted against his will.
As if the hands could think for themselves.
‘You mean devil… … !’
I picked up the half-powdered medicine with my left hand and poured it into my mouth.
The pain went away. Very slightly.
As I endured the pain, I remembered my encounter with Zero earlier.
“what? “You said meeting Renia was a lie?”
no. It is a lie to say that I received instruction directly, but it was not a lie to say that I met him.
That’s all. He stayed with the Leicester family for a month and also lived as a gourmet.
“Ugh… … .”
Lein lay down on the bed with difficulty.
Is it because my body is tired? Naturally, the memories of that day came to mind.
Made Leuin leave the Fleur family.
Memories of that day full of hurt.
* * *
“W-that’s ridiculous… … .”
Lein trembled at the unbelievable sight.
Lefael, the head of the Fleur family and his older brother.
He lost the duel. That too for a fourteen-year-old child about to enter the academy.
“under! Does that mean swordsmanship? I tried to build up my skills before entering school… … “You were in vain, right?”
He spat in front of Raphael.
When Lein saw that, his blood boiled.
“You son of a bitch! It’s a duel! “Unsheath your sword!”
thud!
“what?”
The floor suddenly rose up, came towards me, and crashed into me.
After a while, Lein realized one thing.
The floor didn’t rise, it was you who fell to the ground.
“Still, you’re a little older. But only if you train something that isn’t even a swordsmanship like this… … “It’s a waste of talent.”
Tsk!
Spit was spat in front of Lein. Just like his older brother, Rafael.
“Then I’ll just go. From now on, I’ll have to stop by the Count’s house or higher. I won before I even warmed up… … .”
And just like that, the boy left.
My whole body was filled with humiliation, but there was nothing I could do.
That person is the grandson of a famous marquis.
And here, there are far more people who don’t know the name than there are who know it.
Because he is a third-rate noble.
“Leain, are you okay?”
“Tongue, brother… … .”
If he was like this, how sick and sad would his older brother Lephael be?
Let’s not get angry. The older brother is called Lephael, a man with 100 battles and 100 defeats, but don’t be angry.
‘Because I promised that next time I lose again, I will abandon my family’s swordsmanship.’
There are only a few families that sell arcane sword techniques, but not so much that they cannot be obtained.
The same goes for the Tartel territory right next door.
It wasn’t a swordsmanship I liked very much, but it was much better than his family’s swordsmanship.
I will be able to use it sufficiently until I get another family’s swordsmanship.
“I neglected my training. I need to pay a little more attention. “I will definitely be able to win next time.”
“… … !”
A warm hand towards yourself.
Lein mercilessly slapped the hand away.
slam-!
“Leain?”
“I said I would throw it away! “I said I would give up if I lose this time too!”
The swordsmanship of the Fleur family to which he belongs.
No matter how you think about it, it was poor swordsmanship.
When other families draw their swords, light flashes and the surroundings freeze.
‘Why is our family only faithful to the basics!’
There was a lot of moderation, but that was it.
It has been a long time since the Fleur family’s swordsmanship began to collapse.
No, maybe it was a fencing technique that was flawless from the beginning.
It’s just that he was a poor swordsman from the moment he was born.
And today I became convinced of that thought.
Because I was defeated by a mere fourteen-year-old.
“Let’s stop now! “There is no hope for our family’s swordsmanship!”
“Leuin, that’s not true. Our family’s swordsmanship is excellent. It’s because I’m not good enough… … .”
It continues like this.
Lein couldn’t stand it any longer.
Not only his older brother, who was given the dishonorable nickname of “Hell-to-Heart,” but he also refused to let go of the Fleur family’s swordsmanship.
Even the image of myself being defeated miserably.
I couldn’t bear it anymore.
“If it keeps happening like this, I have an idea!”
“… … thought?”
“okay! I’m leaving! “I’m leaving this damn third-rate family obsessed with third-rate swordsmanship!”
haha.
Lein could not raise his head. No, he couldn’t lift.
Because his older brother must have a sad expression on his face.
I thought Lefael would hug me.
And I thought he would say that we should abandon the family’s swordsmanship.
but.
“… … If that’s what you think, then go.”
Lefael just turned his back coldly.
He was the older brother who always treated me warmly. Why on earth… … .
“brother?”
“Let’s abandon our family’s swordsmanship. As long as I’m around, that won’t happen. “I will protect this position, so you go out and make your dreams come true, Lein.”
That was the end of my brother’s words.
The next day, Lein woke up and immediately left the mansion.
If you leave the mansion, they will come to catch you.
If you go out of town, they will come to catch you.
If you leave the territory, they will come to catch you.
“… … .”
But no one caught him. Rephael could not see a single hair of his head.
It was sincere. He values his family’s swordsmanship more than his own.
‘More than just one family… … ‘Is swordsmanship more important?’
under!
After laughing out loud once, Lein, who was alone, thought.
He is different from his older brother.
Because he loved his brother and his family, he planned to protect them both.
‘What if we graft another family’s secret energy to our family?’
Wouldn’t the strongest swordsmanship be born?
That’s how Lein’s training began.
I ended up living as a wandering knight.
“Please teach me swordsmanship.”
I gave up everything for my family.
Pride, pride, and even pride.
Time passed like that, and about 5 years had passed.
Lein’s name began to come up on people’s lips.
With the nickname ‘Lein of imitation’.
While wandering around as a wandering knight, he searched for a sword technique that suited the Fleur family.
I stopped by the Lester family.
‘Well, you probably won’t meet someone like me.’
After announcing his visit, he stayed at an inn for about half a day.
The messenger of the Leicester family came and spoke.
“The head of the family invited us. Please eat inside the castle.”
The alcohol I was drinking flowed from my mouth.
Leicester family. What kind of family was that?
The family that raised the Answood Empire from a kingdom to an empire, and one of the eight current pillars that support the empire.
The head of that family invited him.
Lein couldn’t believe it.
‘Hey, this must be a boring prank.’
A prank by a great nobleman to make fun of a wandering knight.
With that in mind, I knocked on the door. however.
“welcome. “My name is Renia, the matriarch of the Leicester family.”
Fluffy light pink hair, flawless and clear eyes.
A youthful appearance that makes you look like you’re in your early 20s. But there are also cute features that cannot be hidden.
Lein could not help but lose his gaze.
‘It’s amazing that he rose to the position of head of the family in the body of a woman… … ‘You’re the child’s mother?’
It is even one of the ten swords on the continent.
After all, prestigious noble families are different. Birth determines everything.
‘My children will not be able to escape the situation of third-rate nobles.’
So, you should at least steal swordsmanship and teach it.
Only then will you be able to live proudly in this world.
“Lord Lein, thank you for coming to visit such a squalid place. “You’re truly amazing, wandering around the continent to practice your swordsmanship.”
“yes… … Well, that… … “It’s no big deal.”
When Renia let out a grin, Lein couldn’t come to his senses.
“I heard that in the world it is called ‘Lein of imitation.’”
“Well, not to that extent. “It’s just embarrassing.”
Renia laughed out loud.
All Lein could do was remain as polite as possible.
“Then, shall we go right away?”
“yes?”
“Weren’t you here to spar?”
“ah… … you’re right.”
Lein followed Renia and eventually reached the huge training ground.
Like the Leicester family, it is large and bulky.
What’s unusual is that all parts of the training center have been renovated?
The outside was clean, but on the inside, there were no rags.
“sorry. “I know you’re tired, but I’m not the type to put things off like this.”
Lein nodded.
Because the great nobles are busy. You will want to quickly see your skills and then leave.
And wouldn’t he go to his own space and laugh in secret?
‘however… … ‘Where is my partner?’
It was when Lein looked around.
“Lord Lein? “What are you looking for?”
“yes? ah… … “It’s because I can’t see my opponent.”
Then Renia said, Hahaha! She burst out laughing.
“Who are you looking for when you have someone right in front of you?”
“yes?”
Sereung-.
Renia drew her sword. At the same time, her eyes changed.
“It means that I am your opponent, Lord Lein.”
“… … !!”
The head of the Leicester family, one of the ten swords of the empire, would personally deal with me.
‘I thought they would give me a training article at most… … .’
This experience cannot be had even with money.
Lein immediately drew his sword.
That’s how the sparring began.
‘It’s sudden, but it’s nothing like this.’
Traveling around the empire, I had good, bad and amazing experiences.
This is Lein, who experienced all three.
A sudden sparring is an extremely benign incident.
“going!”
Lein poured out all the secret techniques he had learned.
However, Renia only lightly swung her sword to block or evade.
Clap-.
It was the sound of Renia’s sword being sheathed.
The speed was so fast that Lein noticed it by the sound.
And at the same time.
A ray of light shot towards me.
