I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

late at night the next day. Philip received a visit from Stella, the chief of the Black Myo tribe. She entered Philip’s bedroom unnoticed and knelt quietly.

“Investigating the Earl of Earlroy you mentioned has yielded some results.”

“No, already?”

The fact that the results had already come out after a little over a full day meant that the Elroy family was not as thorough as expected, or that the abilities of the Black Myo were better than expected.

“I was lucky. An informant held in the Crescent recognized one of the Elroy family butlers. He was said to have been an assassin until a few years ago. I immediately followed him and searched for the materials you mentioned, and these things came up.”

Stella was clad in leather clothes. She opened the front drawer and pulled out the paper she had hidden between the linings. Part of her body was exposed in the process, but Philip did not blink.

“Here you are.”

Philip took the paper and unfolded it. Stella’s eyes narrowed slightly.

‘How can the pupils stay the same?’

A young man like Philip, no matter how well-disciplined, would have minimal interest in a woman’s body.

But Philip didn’t even roll his eyes, even though half of her breasts were exposed.

‘Is the mental power transcending imagination? Or else… .’

After checking the contents of the document, Philip asked with a shocked expression.

“… No, how the hell did you get this?”

It was truly shocking. The document was stamped with the official seal of Earl of Alloy, and it was a request to Crescent to assassinate someone.

Upon seeing the name of the assassination target, Philip sighed deeply as he touched his forehead.

‘Altair Alloy… This is the Countess’s name.’

“The butler seems to have found a way to live on his own after Crescent collapsed. Since he was an assassin, he would have expected to be abandoned soon. Well, thanks to that, we were able to find a useful weapon.”

“This isn’t good enough. This alone won’t be able to end Count Allroy, but it’s more than enough to be the catalyst.”

Philip felt an exclamation inevitably come out of Count Allroy’s plan to assassinate the wife of the king’s blood.

‘What the hell do you believe in? How many nonsensical things do they do?’

It was a move that was incomprehensible to common sense.

The connection with the princess in the first place did not go through the normal process. If the princess died in the process, the king would never tolerate it.

It was clear that he would try to punish Count Allroy by pushing back the northern knights who were dealing with the demons. If it wasn’t for the demons, this would have happened a long time ago.

‘Take the princess as a wife, get the position of Marquis of the West, what’s lacking in oppressing me and trying to assassinate his wife?’

There was nothing to be gained by touching Philip. Bluhan’s broken leg wasn’t much to use as a justification for formally declaring war on the Oswald family.

—… How amazing. He seems like a person who is eager to die, but seeing how well he has lived so far. How lucky do you have to be?

‘That’s right.’

Neria muttered. Philip, who answered without thinking, suddenly had a strange idea.

‘… What if everything I’ve done so far wasn’t actually done to succeed?’

The change of mind was simpler than expected.

Originally, taking a princess forcibly and becoming the king’s son-in-law had a low chance of success.

No matter how much she was wasting more than half of her national power on stopping the demons in the north, even if the victim herself, the princess, didn’t want the war.

Moreover, even if there was no family strong enough to replace the Earl of Earlroy among the Western nobility, the risk was too great. Unless the king was extremely calculating or extremely incompetent, he had no choice but to fear retaliation in some way.

“… But what if the purpose was to destroy everyone together? No, what if the purpose was just to cause trouble?”

“… yes?”

Hearing Philip’s muttering, Stella tilted her head.

‘I need to see the Countess. ASAP.’

Philip made that decision.

* * *

It was a street in Paloam, a city about three hours away by carriage from the academy.

Felicia punched Philip in the shoulder. It was a blow that was not very powerful, but Philip lowered his head with a painful expression on his face.

“… I can’t live because of you really.”

“sorry. But I must meet him.”

As expected by Philip, Felicia had maintained a friendly relationship with the Countess of Earlroy until now. It was at the level of drinking tea or having a conversation at a place promised once every few months, but that was enough.

He eventually persuaded his sister to arrange a meeting with Altair Alloy, the former princess and now Countess. she is

Philip was completely disguised.

Instead of the instructor’s uniform, he wore a moderately wide robe and even wore glasses on his face. Moreover, when he changed his impression with makeup, the slightly sharp atmosphere was gone, and only the gentle impression of a scholarly handsome man was visible.

“Because he is someone I really respect and love, so I hope you never offend him.”

“… What do you see me as?”

“What do you see? I see you as the idiot who beat a young student to the point of sickness just a while ago.”

Philip and Felicia walked the streets of an unfamiliar city and chatted. According to Felicia, Altair Alloy often visits a teahouse located in the shopping district.

“Here it is. Perhaps the princess will come first.”

True to Felicia’s words, the door of the teahouse, where noble ladies and young ladies were supposed to be seen, was originally closed. However, I could feel the presence inside, so it was borrowed entirely.

“… uh?”

Philip stiffened like a stone statue in front of the tea house. What I felt inside was a secret force. He looked at Felicia with a hardened expression, as it was a kind of momentum that people who are not very sensitive can feel.

“huh? why?”

“Is the princess a master by any chance?”

“What are you talking about? Did you eat something wrong?”

Felicia poked Philip’s cheek with her finger. It meant calming down. Philip tilted his head and opened the teahouse door.

‘No, I definitely felt it.’

A beautiful woman in a dress was sitting in the center of a small teahouse with only eight tables, and a middle-aged man who appeared to be an escort stood next to her.

The woman sipped her tea with graceful gestures and looked at Philip and Felicia.

“Come on. pretty How soon are we meeting?”

“Half a year. princess. It’s great to see you again.”

Felicia’s expression brightened. By her reaction, Philip recognized that the woman was Altair Alloy.

“Don’t stand still, sit down here. I really wanted to meet you too. Is that kid next to you your brother?”

“yes. Philip. Hurry up and say hello.”

Altair Elroy, who was close to forty, was young and beautiful enough to be considered a twenties. In addition, the atmosphere was strangely bright to say that he was the protagonist of a tragedy.

“nice to see you. countess.”

Philip greeted them politely. Altair Alloy smiled at Philip as if he was cute and offered him a seat as well.

“I saw it once when you were a baby. I was a little girl back then, so I don’t know how time flies so quickly.”

“… You are still young enough. If my sister hadn’t told me beforehand, I would have thought that my daughter had come instead.”

Philip’s low, soft voice had the effect of making even flattery hear sincerely. Altair Alloy nodded with a very satisfied expression.

“You bewitched the girls with that speech. If it wasn’t for my married body, I would have passed on too. okay. Did you say you wanted to meet me? What are you curious about?”

After taking a deep breath, Philip opened his mouth with a nervous expression.

“… Why are you keeping Earl Alroy alive?”

“What are you talking about? Philip?”

It was Felicia who was taken aback by those words. She glared at Philip like he was going to kill him, but widened her eyes when she saw Altair’s reaction was insignificant.

Altair Alloy stared straight at Philip with interest. Philip felt the pressure in that gaze and gulped.

‘You’re stronger than our head professor. Does that make sense?’

The strength I felt in her was at least Emil Panoy’s.

“I thought it would be our pretty girl who noticed first. Are you already feeling it?”

“At first, I thought it was the momentum of the escort standing next to me, but it didn’t seem like it. Now that I’ve met him in person, I know for sure. Is the Countess an Auror Master?”

“Before I answer your question, can I ask you one question first?”

“yes. Please.”

Altair Allroy asked while resting his chin and moving only his lips.

“Are you a member of the Temple of Swords?”

“no. I have no intention of entering such a group of psychopaths.”

Altair Alloy covered his mouth and laughed, apparently liking Phillip’s immediate answer.

“I really like you. Yes, I will answer all your questions. Did I ask if I was a Master? that’s right. It’s been over ten years since I reached that level. And, why are you letting Earl Alroy live? It’s simple too. Because he can’t die.”

Felicia couldn’t keep up with the conversation between Philip and Altair.

“… I’ll be out for a while.”

Altair dissuaded Felicia, who was trying to avoid her seat.

“There is no need for that. pretty Your brother is really great. I thought I’d been hiding it well for twenty years… It’s not like I realized it because I lost my energy, and he must have said he wanted to meet me because there was something suspicious about him.”

“Earl of Earl Roy’s behavior was very strange. I had a strong feeling that I was forced to work. So I pulled back a bit and this came out.”

Philip held out a request with Altair Alloy’s name on it. After receiving and reading it, Altair Alloy shook his head and smiled.

“You managed to get something like this.”

“I got a feeling the moment I saw this. If the Countess were harmed, I thought that His Majesty would not tolerate it this time. There’s no way Earl Earl of Earl of Earl didn’t make my guess. Even so, requesting the assassination was a move that did not think of the aftermath at all.”

Philip spoke again after a tempo break.

“Come to think of it that way, even the process of becoming a Marquess was a gambler who never thought of the aftermath. Now I have my doubts. Maybe Count Allroy’s purpose was rather a failure, I thought. Assuming that, it makes sense. And if there was anyone who could get in the way of that, it was the Countess.”

Altair Alloy opened his eyes wide as if he was quite surprised and exclaimed in admiration.

“You are a very good boy.”

“… In fact, everything was just a vain delusion until I felt the momentum of the countess.

“That was because I wanted to see how much our pretty girl’s skills had improved. okay. Now that this has happened, let me tell you a story from 18 years ago. It’s going to be a bit of a long story.”

After wetting his lips with slightly cooled tea, Altair Alloy removed his lips.

“Have you ever heard of an organization called ‘Changseonghoe’?”
