How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

Chapter 35

35 – Beast Stalker (2)

object of envy.

That was what Mirenne Tilope thought when he first encountered ‘Edgar Mullique’.

An aristocrat who came from a magical family and became a ＜Prosecutor＞ hero.

Not only there, but also a new instructor who won the top spot with the best talent.

A hero who even participated in a cooperative operation with the Royal Knights of Clepe and achieved a tremendous result of ‘hunting 10 Hellhounds simultaneously’, proving his unknown skills that had only been rumored.

From the moment he heard these news, Mirenne couldn’t help but yearn for Edgar every moment.

That would be the case, because Mirenne was in the same situation.

She, too, has always been questioned as a child of a magical family.

-A swordsman hero was born in Tilope?

-hmm… I don’t know how much it will grow. At most, 3 sets-.

-Aren’t you an illegitimate child? There is a swordsman in a prestigious magic family… .

From noble mtl dot com

-I heard that Tanelli Tilope has already entered the Tristan Tower… .

The ‘compass of destiny’ is not something the hero can choose.

Even if you have the destiny you have always dreamed of, if the direction of your destiny selected by the compass is different.

I have no choice but to accept him.

That is literally fate.

Therefore, the fate of the ＜swordsman＞ who appeared out of nowhere could not be a blessing to Miren.

Miren is a descendant of the sorceress Count Tilope.

Those around her evaluated that she would not be able to properly capitalize on her family’s strengths, and Miren herself always had doubts about whether she would be able to grow well as a prosecutor.

‘however… .’

Then, Edgar Mullick appeared.

Marquis Mullik, who is much more famous than Thilope.

Born as the son of a great sorcerer family, he proved himself by directly refuting all the questions directed at him.

Even a wizard family can produce an excellent swordsman.

A hero’s reputation does not come from his family, but must be created by the hero himself.

The monster-hunting achievements he achieved in the Red Bush region are simply ‘An excellent instructor was born in Tristan!’ It was not news that would end like that.

At least.

For Miren Thilope.

‘me too… ‘I am like Instructor Edgar.’

It was from then.

Miren admires Edgar and decides to become his student.

She told that to the person closest to her, her older sister Tanelli, and started living an active military school life.

The ‘hero of the ＜swordsman＞ from the Mado family’ was no longer an inferiority complex to Mirenne.

A great teaching material that had already proved this was in front of her.

I didn’t bother to stick to Instructor Akina’s popular lecture.

He applied for an unfamiliar new lecture called ＜Balut Sword＞-.

All of this was possible for a reason.

– This instructor will directly check your battles and correct your posture.

-good night. A cadet of Mirn Tilope. make you in the first order

So, when the first special practice was conducted and Edgar Mulick gave a ‘one-on-one lecture’… Mir-N’s heart was pounding so he thought it was going to explode.

‘Looking at it up close, it looks better… no no.’

Like other female aristocratic cadets, it wasn’t simply because of his outward appearance.

In front of the hero he has considered his idol, he uses ＜Balut Sword＞, and receives guidance directly from him for problems related to it.

That fact alone did not calm my mind easily.

Of course, it was the first time in my life that I fought with the existence of a ‘monster’, and in the meantime, thanks to the lectures on real combat, I was blown away without a break… I did have some pretty crazy times.

Nevertheless, it was a special enough time for Mirenne.

-From now on, in-depth training on Balut swordsmanship- We will begin the demonstration of Bellum swordsmanship.

and.

When an existence presumed to be a ‘monster’ appeared in the lair, and Instructor Edgar started fighting him-.

Mirenne was finally able to realize.

‘… That’s a real prosecutor.’

The swordsmanship she had practiced so far was nothing more than an imitation.

Instructor Edgar fought by freely using his sword like limbs, and the beast’s huge body ran freely as if it were a stepping stone.

Its speed is beyond imagination.

It was invisible to Miren, who was still inexperienced, and even the demonic beast in the form of a snake could not easily follow his speed.

“The Knight of the Windstorm… .”

“huh?”

Mirenne turned her head at the muttering of Kayla, a fellow student next to her.

Like Mirenne, she couldn’t take her eyes off Instructor Edgar’s battle.

“Seeing Master’s battles, that expression comes to mind. Knight of the Storm… It’s as fast as the wind, but it’s hard and powerful. That… That’s the Bellum swordsmanship.”

＜Balut sword method＞.

The core of the swordsmanship they had learned so far and its advanced version, ＜Bellum Swordsmanship＞, was ultimately ‘speed’.

Whether you’re facing multiple enemies or single enemies.

The important thing is to knock them down quickly.

Since it was a swordsmanship that gave up defensive elements and only focused on attacking, speed was vital.

So, Instructor Edgar also kept ordering ‘move faster’ during the one-on-one lecture.

‘me too… I want to become a real prosecutor.’

Mirenne’s heart, who was looking at that figure, was shaken again.

first.

It is a different mindset than when Ed made Mullique his idol.

It wasn’t just to prove that he was from a magical family, but now he wanted to unfold his sword as a real ＜Prosecutor＞ hero.

Miren’s heroic consciousness, which had only been vague…

It was a real motivating moment.

“Master is really cool… .”

However, Mirenne hesitates for a moment at Kayla’s muttering.

‘… But why does he keep calling the instructor Master?’

After my heart was moved in earnest, the trivial things started to bother me.

* * *

Woo-!!

Chow-!!

The monster’s massive body falls over the swampy area and near the land.

Lahara, who was building a thorough defense system using her long and hard body, was indiscriminately cut by my ＜Bellum Sword＞ and suffered a huge blow.

In addition, a combination of evasion and attack using ＜Step of Fallen Leaves＞.

In the end, he ran up to his head and even inserted his sword into his eyes, his only weakness.

In this battle, I attacked him as best I could, and Rahara was helplessly defeated by that tight strategy and collapsed.

It was a perfect victory.

“Edgar, are you okay?”

After the battle, the cadets and Ray approached from a distance.

I asked if I was okay, but it was already clearly visible that I was safe.

Maybe that’s why Ray’s expression was filled with relief.

“As you can see, everything is fine. Did Lahara’s other attacks hit the cadets?”

“Fortunately, there was no such variable.”

Ray, who had been staring at Lahara, who had collapsed in the swamp, turned her gaze to me.

“It’s the second-tier demon, ‘Rahara of the Swamp.’”

“hmm?”

2nd tier magician.

Known for having the skills of a top-notch monster, it is a high-ranking monster that is evaluated to be able to hunt only heroes of at least 4th order or higher.

However, I tilted my head at Ray, who knew the exact information and name about this.

“I met you for the first time today. Was it a monster with a name?”

“It is said that Sir Chaser, a special hero who was born with the fate of being a ＜Monster Recorder＞ in the Holy Kingdom of Bedlien, can briefly grasp the names and information of demons that have not yet appeared in the world. I remember reading it in Volume 1 of the Special Encyclopedia published by the Holy Kingdom the other day.”

“… … .”

I was at a loss for words for a moment.

Ray really reads and studies everything.

Marveling at her incredible intelligence, I turned my attention to the cadets who followed.

“Are you all in good shape? The pressure must have been considerable.”

“Yes, no problem!”

“it’s okay!”

Mirenne and Kayla look at me as they answer the question directly.

For some reason, their eyes seem to contain intense envy and longing.

… Did you fight too hard?

Those are slightly strained eyes.

However, there was also a guy who went a little further.

“I am really tired, Instructor. How can I defeat the witch on my own… wow, wow… . Can we become like that if we learn the Bellum swordsmanship too? No, first of all, I quickly mastered the Balut method… .”

“Keep your cool, Cadet Lucas.”

“Oh, sorry.”

The cadet, Lucas, who hurriedly speaks out but shuts up at my restraint.

I’ve heard that he’s the eldest son of Viscount Chadbell, but looking at his way of speaking and choice of words, he doesn’t look like an aristocrat at all.

It feels like seeing a junior knight who was having trouble on the battlefield before returning-.

Anyway, among swordsmen families, there were many people who were out of line like this.

“… … .”

Finally, Reese just looked at me with a somewhat surprised look.

Even if you knew I was strong, did you not know that I was active to this extent?

As a cadet with many secrets, his reaction was cautious.

“I’m sorry to have you face the Witchbeast all of a sudden. Even if it was handled well, it is the instructor’s negligence that the unexpected situation occurred.”

Anyway, the important thing is that all four cadets are safe.

After confirming this, I apologized lightly to them and sorted out the situation.

“The special practice ends with this. I want to continue with the next lecture, but it seems like it will take some time in the process of reporting and investigating the appearance of the demons.”

Similar to the ‘Escape from the Witchbeast’ in the Red Forest, this is the first time a Witchbeast has appeared in a place other than its source.

If this is reported and the investigation team is dispatched, it may be difficult to conduct special practice for a while.

“Therefore, the schedule for the next special practice is undecided. So that everyone can wait until further notice.”

“yes!”

“All right.”

I announced the schedule to the cadets, and sent them back today as it is.

Even though Reese, who had insisted on ‘attacking the source’, seemed to swallow his regret, it was right to withdraw like this today, even if there is a case of attacking separately with her next time.

“ray. We’ll just clean up the demons and go back.”

“I understand, Mr. Edgar.”

Demon beasts are dangerous, so there are quite a lot of by-products if you succeed in hunting.

Manastones with different grades for each hierarchy and sturdy, tough leather.

Also, there were monsters who possessed artifacts from time to time.

There was a reason why ‘explorer heroes’ who only aim for these by-products were rampant.

And again, when we arrive at the place where the body of ‘Lahara in the Swamp’ is.

Ray frowned slightly.

“It smells awful.”

“I guess it’s more because it’s near a swamp. Just take the basics and go. I have to ask the kingdom to investigate anyway.”

“All right.”
