Episode 93. First boss, Lein (11)
A ray of light that absorbs the surrounding light.
Lein couldn’t even react.
When Renia realized that she had drawn her sword, a flash of light had already passed by her.
Quang! Kku kwa kwa kwakwaang-!!
“Ahh!!”
It wasn’t a scream that came out of Lein’s mouth.
It was a scream that came out from the mouth of Renia, the matriarch of the Leicester family.
“Oh, what should I do! “I had an accident again!”
Renia passed by him and headed behind him.
Lein could not help but be surprised.
This is because the wall behind him was cracked vertically.
‘Well, is that the one island!’
Lein controlled his breathing and tried to calm down.
Isn’t it worse than what I heard through rumors?
‘No, this is the lowest level of swordsmanship in the first place!’
Lein looked blankly at the traces of Ilseom.
Even a child can tell that Renia missed the mark on purpose.
Let alone getting hit, even if you just brush against it, your body will disappear.
‘… … A training ground that has been repaired like rags. ‘It was because of this.’
Renia’s ‘flash’ is so powerful that even the magic shield is useless.
It’s great technology. I really wanted to learn.
Even if it means risking everything.
“Aaaah!! It’s completely broken!? “What should I do with this?”
Renia was flustered. An appearance that does not befit the reputation of a great nobleman.
When Lein saw that, he inadvertently thought this.
‘It’s cute.’
Of course, I blew that thought away by punching my face.
“Uh, um. Darling and Butler said they would ban sparring if they broke up again… … “What should I do with this?”
Renia was scratching her head as if she was troubled.
He snapped his fingers as if a good idea occurred to him.
“okay! If Luna said she did it, she might get over it. “Let’s do that.”
Is it because they are great nobles? My thoughts are unique.
‘It’s very natural to pass it on.’
Still, I thought it was a little different, but after all, he was a nobleman from a prestigious family.
It continues as if it is natural to blame the subordinates.
‘Well, I don’t think he’s a bad person. ‘Isn’t it natural for subordinates to take over chores in a prestigious noble family?’
Lein was greatly mistaken.
This is because they did not know that Luna was just a newborn baby who had just started walking.
In other words, Renia planned to overcome this situation through Luna’s cuteness.
Lein, who did not know these thoughts, could not help but make such a mistake.
“Renia?”
“huh? iced coffee… … . Well, don’t worry. “Because I can fully resolve this issue on my own.”
After saying that, Renia bit her nails.
… … It doesn’t seem like it at all.
But a poor person cannot ask that question.
Lein said, bowing his head slightly.
“It won’t be of much help, but I will help with the repair work. “It’s partly my fault.”
“Well, will you do that? Well, thank you so much. One person will be scolded less. Ahaha, I’m glad.”
I can’t believe I’m happy that the number of people has increased.
‘You are quite foolish.’
He was a very cool person until a little while ago.
The Leicester family was a very mysterious family.
Aren’t you afraid that the head of the house will get scolded? Isn’t there a being called Luna who can break down walls like that?
It is a mysterious family in many ways.
“And I would like to stay here for a while and practice. “If possible, can I get a small room?”
“hmm… … Do by that way. “It seems like we’re on the verge of great growth.”
It’s a big growth. It’s just as Renia said.
Currently, his inner self was going through a big change.
Lein clenched his fists.
‘Improving the family’s swordsmanship? Not required.’
If only I could use powerful vision techniques like Ilseom.
The Fleur family will be able to escape from being a third-rate family.
I think it was from then on.
My thoughts changed.
* * *
A month has passed.
Lein knew very well that he had a knack for analysis, and began to analyze everything about Ilseom.
There were times when Renia would come and spar with me.
… … After the second sparring, there was a small incident where Renia was banned from entering the training ground.
I was able to find out some of the secrets and tricks contained in Ilseom.
Well, theory and practice are completely different things.
‘I had to give up some of the swordsmanship of other families because the muscles used were different… … .’
The Leicester family’s swordsmanship was worth it.
To the point where it’s okay to throw away everything you’ve built over the past five years.
The first draw of the Leicester family.
One island.
Kwakagak-!
A flash of light flew and cut down the bushes.
‘It’s a success!’
Lein clenched his fists in joy.
A level that only succeeds once out of 20 times.
However, it was important to successfully present it in front of Renia.
Just when I was expecting praise and advice.
“… … That’s too bad.”
“yes?”
“Instead of choosing a path that is difficult but full of honor, you choose a path that is easy but has no honor. “I can’t help but say it’s disappointing.”
Renia’s spirit was different from usual.
First of all, the pupils have changed. The eyes are not as fierce as usual.
Calm and serious. Something serious feeling.
‘What weight… … .’
I suddenly felt like I had grown bigger. Several times more than yourself.
“Lord Lein.”
“yes… … .”
“I guess I thought wrong. I helped Lord Lein because I thought it would be helpful… … I never thought it would have the completely opposite result… … .”
Lein couldn’t understand Renia’s words.
Wasn’t it possible to use Ilseom?
If I look and analyze just a little more, just a little more, I will definitely… … !
“This is not the path you should take.”
“Are you saying my efforts aren’t enough?”
“It’s not like that. Lord Lein thinks that the strength of swordsmanship is because it comes from a prestigious family, right?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Renia shook her head.
“no. “The strength of swordsmanship lies right here.”
Renia pointed to her chest.
“mind. This is where strength accumulates. “It’s not the shell of a prestigious family.”
Strength accumulates in the mind? And a prestigious family is just a shell?
Neither could agree. Especially the latter.
“The heart? Are you referring to the mana circle metaphorically? What are you saying… … “I don’t understand.”
“Whatever the family’s swordsmanship is, only the middle is different, but the beginning and the end are the same. I don’t know why you’re going down the wrong path. You have such a great foundation, so why… … .”
“This is the wrong way! no! I know. “This is the right way!”
Did he not like me yelling?
Renia started pushing herself.
Lein tried hard to resist, but it was no use.
‘W-what kind of power… … !’
He dragged himself by force. And that too with one hand.
After leaving the training ground, leaving the mansion, and arriving at the border separating the village and the castle.
“Get back to where you belong.”
An order to congratulate guests was issued. To be exact, it was an expulsion order.
Lein could not help but be embarrassed.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Are you saying that using Ilseom is a sin?”
“It’s not like that. “Wandering around means you have to stop here.”
“I’m not lost! I finally found the right path, but why… … !”
“… … I guess words don’t make sense now. Think about it slowly. Sir Leuin is a smart man, so I believe he will figure it out on his own.”
Kwaang-.
The gate was closed tightly. I got kicked out.
Just because I followed Ilseom.
‘He must have been afraid of my talent.’
If you analyze it further, you may lose a lot of it. That’s definitely what I thought.
but.
-Lord Lein, the strength of swordsmanship is not because it comes from a prestigious family. It’s right here, in my heart.
Why do those words penetrate my heart?
Lein began to sob. I don’t know why.
I just cried.
“… … “Do it.”
Please don’t kick me out.
Please explain what I did wrong.
Please tell me which way I should take.
This was when Lein was sobbing.
“I’ll tell you that. “You stupid human being!”
Suddenly, the devil appeared in front of Lein and handed him a contract.
Before he knew it, Lein was holding a sword in his right hand.
A magic sword overflowing with black magic energy.
Magi came up his right arm and began to pressure Leain.
“Huh!!”
Only then was Lein able to wake up from his long dream.
tweet-.
Lein, whose whole body was wet with sweat, opened the window.
Suddenly.
The morning sun was rising.
* * *
“Demons are divided into high-level devils, middle-level devils, and low-level devils. “Then is there a devil higher than the upper class?”
Elester’s class time.
Several children quickly raised their hands, and Euridia was singled out.
“The highest level of evil exists. They are called ‘Legion Commander’, and it is common to refer to them as the 6th rank (位), but it does not matter if they are called differently, such as six, bastard, or cub.”
“Exactly. Well, it seems like there’s a bit of personal opinion behind it… … “It’s not a bad title.”
ha ha ha!
The children’s laughter echoed throughout the classroom.
Elester began writing something on the blackboard.
To be precise, the writing utensil was flying around and drawing something.
‘Magic… … ‘I want to write too.’
Of course, you can use it later.
The number of magic-type hidden pieces is so large that it can be compared to swordsmanship.
The problem is that you can only get it after final exams or during summer vacation?
Until then, magic was like a piece of cake to me.
‘It can be used by imitating God, but… … .’
Now, there are a lot more better skills stored than that.
It was impossible to waste the [Imitation of God] slot because of personal desires.
It was a time when I lost my appetite out of regret.
“You all know what this magic circle is.”
A pattern of an upside-down star in a circle.
It is the symbol of a high-level devil, a reverse pentagram.
“Demons of the 5th level or higher have this inverted pentagram pattern floating behind them. “There are some who aren’t, but that’s not what you need to remember.”
Elester placed both hands on the table. At the same time, the atmosphere became heavier.
It means that we are going to talk about something very, very important.
“Run away. “If you see this symbol, you must run away.”
Because high-level devils are of a different class.
If there is a reverse pentagram, it is at least 5 ranks higher. It is safe to say that he is a high-level devil.
This means that you can’t compete at the student level, so you should run away at all costs.
“Remember this formula.”
The writing instrument danced again and listed numbers on the blackboard.
123456789 – star
987654321 – rank
“A 1-star knight and wizard can deal with a 9-level demon. 2 stars can deal with 8th level demons. “Then what about a nine-star knight?”
“I can deal with a first-level devil.”
“you’re right. Of course, it is not absolute since each devil uses different magic techniques. Even if you encounter a demon worthy of being dealt with, you cannot let down your guard.”
A simple formula to judge the strength of a demon.
Just change the star numbers to be the same as theirs, why bother?
‘Because the devil is basically a ‘station’.’
Beings that act in opposition to human actions. That’s the devil.
Perhaps that’s why people in this world attach a lot of meaning to the ‘station’, which symbolizes opposition.
As a Korean who pursues extreme efficiency, this is something I cannot understand.
Isn’t that so? A 1-star knight is a 1st-rank demon, and a 9-star knight is a 9th-rank demon.
If you change it this way, you will be able to compare power in an instant without having to memorize the formula.
‘A high-level devil… … .’
The inverted pentagram pattern drawn on the blackboard caught my eye.
