37 – 37. Knights of Verdant (2)

“Bale, welcome.”

Irina greeted me with a grin.

However, perhaps because the Knights Templar was formed, his tone of voice became a bit more adult.

“I came because I heard there was a problem with Allen.”

The princess and I looked at Allen at the same time.

Then Myeongjaje smiled and waved his hand.

“Well, is that possible? I am perfectly fine. “Just a little while ago, I was wondering how I could teach the cadets well.”

The face of the boy cadet who was watching crumpled at the shameless lie.

“Is that true?”

However, Irina was different.

She folded her hands and rejoiced like a girl when she heard that Allen had come to his senses.

“Of course, I’m already on my way to the sparring hall to teach the cadets.”

The maniac picked up the wooden training sword displayed on the wall.

And headed straight to Dalian.

We all looked at him like that.

“I can’t believe you can become so passionate in a short period of time.”

“That’s right. “I guess I was depressed for a moment because of the rain.”

I said while looking at the sky that was tracking me.

However, the princess was not fooled by my excuses.

After Allen left, she asked me again with an adult look in her eyes.

“How did you convince that kid?”

“I just told you that the princess’s prospects for the knighthood are good.”

“When I tried to persuade him, it wasn’t even that difficult… .”

Irina pursed her lips as if Allen was arrogant.

I told her in a friendly way that it was not her problem.

“Originally, the persuasion of peers is more relevant than that of superiors. and… .”

I passed the princess and picked up a wooden sword on display.

And he said as he entered the sparring hall.

“I said I would accept the instructor offer you mentioned earlier.”

“Well, is that really true?”

“Yes, I will not join the team, but will only help with training as a temporary instructor.”

I firmly drew a line without even looking at Irina.

However, the princess seemed satisfied with even that and came towards me.

“That’s enough!”

We arrived at Dalian together.

And I watched as Allen gathered the teenage cadets and began training.

“Now, what we’re going to learn today is strengthening weapons through mana.”

Unlike usual, the maniac raised only one sword.

Then he raised it into the air and spoke firmly.

“Everyone is talented in mana, so it won’t be that difficult.”

Blue air currents soon begin to swirl around the swordsman’s arms.

Eventually, the airflow rose up the handle and gently wrapped around the blade.

“Just think of focusing your entire body’s mana solely on your arms.”

Allen spoke confidently to the boys and girls holding the sword.

Then he walked around and instructed the children to follow along.

It was good up to this point.

However, since teaching him one lesson a day wasn’t enough, he immediately taught him the next level.

“The next thing is to swing the mana-enhanced sword in a series of slashes.”

Allen raised his sword.

And he swung the mana-infused sword twice with all his might.

「――――!!」

A sword that has become more powerful thanks to containing mana.

A sharp wind strong enough to blow the children’s hair hit the sparring grounds.

“Wow… .”

The cadets were all impressed by Allen’s performance.

However, soon their expressions turned white.

“Did everyone enjoy it? Now, imitate it.”

He only showed me once and instructed me to follow the movements from before.

“This might be difficult… .”

Irina, who was watching from the side, also tilted her head at his unreasonable education.

It seems like it would be too much for the princess to see, but how could the children follow suit?

The cadets would often fall over while trying to swing the sword that was imbued with mana.

Because I focused all my attention on my arms and sword, it was difficult to strengthen my lower body.

“Whoa!”

Out of 10, only one succeeded.

However, the remaining nine repeatedly fell over in the training hall.

“Well… “How difficult is this?”

Allen frowned as if he couldn’t understand.

It was only then that I realized.

He doesn’t have any talent for education yet.

It was a typical genius type article.

Since he instinctively did everything he was asked to do, he knew that others could do it too.

Moreover, as he came from a prestigious family, he was supplied with elixirs from a young age.

Thanks to this, even if I concentrated my mana on my arms, I was able to support myself with the remaining minutes.

However, children from commoner backgrounds are different.

Since I have never even tried an elixir, let alone an elixir, my body cannot withstand if I concentrate mana on my arm.

So what should we do?

Actually, the method is simple.

It will teach you the correct posture to endure with little mana.

“Allen, stop for a second.”

I approached him holding a wooden sword.

“I don’t want to interfere, but there are a lot of problems with your current teaching method.”

The cadets who fell on the floor raise their heads.

They looked puzzled at the sight of the defense knight daring to challenge the princess’s escort.

“what?”

Allen also frowned as if he was displeased.

“It’s not time for these children to learn mana management yet.”

I also grabbed a wooden sword.

And I spoke to him with a humble expression.

“It is customary to teach children when they are young, focusing on physical strength and posture correction.”

“So what time did you raise it? “In my time, most people mastered mana management around this time.”

Allen shrugged, saying it was a matter of the children’s talent.

“That’s because you drank elixir when you were young.”

I laughed as if I was pressing down on his high shoulders.

Then Allen’s face became distorted like it was at the banquet hall.

“You’re not going to interfere with other people’s knight training courses, are you?”

Allen approached me without hesitation holding a wooden sword.

And he gave his own reasons.

“This is a process I learned from the imperial knights. Are you really ignoring their teachings?”

He huffed and pushed his face towards me.

However, I answered the excited Allen calmly.

“Well, if I don’t want to see the kids getting hurt, I’ll just ignore it.”

I approached the girl who had fallen while swinging the sword too forcefully.

And he said as he helped me up.

“That’s my job.”

I looked down at the child coldly.

When she saw my shadowy face, she got scared.

“Do you want to hold the wooden sword?”

After gathering the children in a line, unlike Allen, who showed off himself, I approached each cadet.

And we started giving customized lectures according to their physical characteristics.

“When using mana on your arm, practice only one slash.”

“Because your wrist strength is weak, don’t use mana yet and focus on training for hitting trees.”

After a few minutes of training.

I watched to see if the children followed the training well.

However, he soon tilted his head.

The cadets concentrated their mana on their arms again and followed Allen’s training.

Then the maniac smiled and came towards me.

“Hey, based on common sense, would children trust the education of a mere defense engineer?”

Name value.

Allen was famous as a genius prosecutor from a prestigious family.

Thanks to this, the children decided to follow Allen, who was famous and their boss, rather than the nameless knight.

“… .”

“No matter how much stronger you are than me, it’s useless if you don’t have any certification.”

A guy who doesn’t think he’ll get beaten up in front of the princess.

I looked at that guy intently.

“okay? “Then I’ll have to authenticate.”

My black eyes lost focus.

Allen looked at that and immediately became speechless.

This familiar atmosphere.

Because I definitely felt it at a banquet hall.

A wooden sword was slung over his shoulder.

And I said to Allen.

“Come, let’s spar for a demonstration.”

Allen quickly shook his head at the familiar suggestion.

“Are you crazy? “Why am I sparring with you?”

“To prove that my training is more effective than yours.”

Allen smiled awkwardly, probably because he didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of the kids.

Then he tapped my shoulder and tried to avoid sparring.

“it’s okay. “I’m a little tired today.”

A guy who makes a fuss about things.

I decided to throw a decent bait to catch him.

“If you’re tired, I’ll give you a special handicap.”

“handicap… ?”

“So, it’s my Sword Auror that you’re afraid of, right?”

I rolled up my shirt sleeves.

And I looked down on him arrogantly, as if provoking him.

“I won’t use any mana.”

Allen snorted in bewilderment.

As if that wasn’t even close to that point yet.

However, his ridicule soon disappeared.

Because they added a handicap that makes it really worth trying.

“Besides, let’s just use the ‘cutting’ technique we taught the kids, without any other techniques.”

Allen, who was slyly trembling, trembles under his eyes.

Soon he asked me with a straight face.

“Are you ignoring me now?”

‘Okay, I asked.’

“Is it wrong to give a penalty against a weak opponent? Rather, it is generous.”

I inherited the same slyness that guy had been shaking.

Then Allen showed death in his eyes.

“Are you really not going to use mana?”

“So, you’re saying you’re only going to use slashes?”

For the first time in a long time, the maniac returned with animal-like eyes, as if his blood was boiling.

“Use your sword skills to your heart’s content. “If you don’t have a sword auror, you’re not a big deal.”

Allen picked up the wooden sword that the cadet had dropped and raised his dual swords.

Then the children all open their eyes brightly and stare at him.

“The knight wielded dual swords… .”

Allen is revered by the cadets.

When he raised his main weapon, the children collectively held their breath.

“It’s all pretentious. “Come in.”

I smiled and held the sword with both hands.

And I took the basic stance to use only the ‘slash’ sword technique.

“This bastard… ! Let’s see how long you can bluff!”

Allen concentrated mana on both wooden swords.

And then it lunged at me like an animal.

A series of slashes followed immediately.

When I stepped back and avoided the first blow, it spun around and attacked me violently.

‘I improved my skills while I didn’t see you.’

On the outside, it is clearly visible that they are making an effort while pretending to be skeptical.

Taaa!!

The sound of wooden swords clashing together.

However, unlike Allen’s, which was strong with mana, only my sword began to crack.

“Do you understand now? “You’re nothing without the Sword Auror?”

Allen struck his sword roughly as if he had guaranteed victory.

The children, who were watching how fast the speed was, gaped at Allen’s rampage.

「Wow… .」

However, Irina was different.

She avoided even responding and leisurely watched me step back.

“Whoa… .”

Allen soon began to breathe heavily.

Because I’ve been manifesting mana for a long time and I’m getting more and more tired from dancing wildly.

However, I was still fine as I just moved without mana.

“Are you breathing hard? “Do you think you lack the basic skills?”

In response to my question, the boy clenched his molars as if he was trying to get angry.

And he must have thought that this was his only chance to defeat me, so he focused all his attention on the tip of his sword.

“bouncer. I’ll show you the secrets of the family that I couldn’t show at the banquet hall… .”

The dance became faster and sharper than before.

And just as the wild dance was about to end.

A blue light like a thunderbolt shot out from the guy’s sword.

“It’s a lightning sword!”

I twisted my head at the sudden magic fired from the sword.

Thanks to this, his sword skills slowed down for a moment.

I was at that moment.

He stopped walking backwards and then took a step forward.

And just as he was about to swing his sword and raise it again.

From noble mtl dot com

He struck Allen’s temple firmly with the wooden sword.

―――!!

The sound of a watermelon breaking hits the sparring hall.

Thanks to this, Allen’s previously relaxed face became distorted.

“It’s a cut.”

He mentioned the name of the technology, so I tried saying it too.
