I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

“There is nothing I can do about it. I need to go get some Mrs. Cynthia.”

Philip murmured as he watched Cassler fall into a trance. I didn’t want to interrupt a moment that might not come again in my lifetime, and that didn’t mean I couldn’t stand there guarding him all the time.

“Where is he?”

Lizriel asked, and Phillip pointed west.

“If you walk that way for about 20 minutes, you will find a spring, and you should be playing in the water with the kids there. will you come Would you be scared?”

Lizriel snorted at Phillip’s concern.

“Do you know what a child I am? No problem.”

“Of course there is no problem with you, but the ghosts must have different thoughts. I won’t stop you if you want to go. Instead, you have to be careful.”

“Boo, ominously what do you mean… .”

Lizriel was nervous as she swallowed dry saliva, but she didn’t give up. As she disappeared, Philip asked, looking at Privia.

“This man, how much enlightenment must you have gained?”

Freevia pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

“That is not something anyone else can know. I can only say that the realization he gained is different from those that oblivious humans call the great sages. If you look at those who were called great sages from before, none of them were decent.”

“What do you mean?”

“To put it in human terms, it feels like being forced to wear clothes that don’t fit. huh? Dude, why is that expression on your face?”

Philip hardened his complexion at Privia’s words, but soon returned to normal. The words of Pribia were somewhat close to the secrets of those called the great sages.

“no. It is an unexpected opinion.”

“You’ll see all the weird guys.”

While they were talking, I saw someone running at high speed from afar. I couldn’t see it clearly, but I thought I could tell who it was from the dust and leaves rising relentlessly.

“Oh my God, honey!”

“Kyaaa ma’am! Please let this go!”

Cynthia Murella, wrapped in a towel, was running towards her with Lizriel at her side. Lizriel clung to her with a stunned expression, like a farce.

As soon as Cynthia Murella reached the vicinity, she immediately tried to check on Castler, but Philip intercepted her.

“Well, if you don’t intend to suffer for the rest of your life, you’d better not touch Mr. Castler. Right now, he is on the verge of a big realization.”

“This, what the hell is this?”

“While talking with us, you must have suddenly felt something, and you suddenly became like that. I’m not sure how long it will take, but it would be nice if Mrs. Cynthia could stand by her side.”

“ah… thank god. He said that his condition was strange and that he needed to go urgently… .”

“Rizriel has no knowledge of the situation, so it can’t be helped. Besides, it’s not entirely wrong, is it? It’s because I didn’t communicate properly.”

“How dare I blame you? They are like my husband’s benefactors. A miracle happened to my husband. thank you.”

Cynthia Murella got down on one knee and tried to thank Philip.

‘… uh?’

Philip heard a rustling sound, like a knot coming undone, and with superhuman reflexes spun his body backwards.

“Oops!”

Cynthia, who couldn’t even wear clothes properly because she ran in, panicked when the towel that covered her body came loose, and quickly rectified it.

“To react to that… !”

Even the dragon, Privia, was surprised by her great coping skills. The decision to put aside my reflexes and turn around was surprising.

“really sorry. What kind of bullsh*t… .”

“it’s okay.”

Soon, Johnny’s, Lua, and an elf girl named Luriel were seen coming after Cynthia with her clothes.

Their hair was all wet and their lips turned blue from how much they were playing.

“… Why are the instructor and my older brother here?”

Janice swallowed and asked, as if the atmosphere of the gloomy outskirts of the forest was uncomfortable. Philip responded with a smile.

“The elf elder said that there is a very powerful and old ghost here, so he came to exterminate it.”

Johnny’s face went pale in an instant. She trembled her knuckles and put on a firm smile as if nothing had happened.

“Eh, ghosts in the elven forest, there are all sorts of strange things.”

“A wizard who was a great power just happened to be judged out of power, so I hope you help.”

At Philip’s request, Johnny’s body shuddered once.

“water… It’s Ron! only me… Trust me, Instructor! Everyone, of course I have to help.”

In fact, to Johnnys, Philip could no longer be called a stranger.

She was a lifesaver for her, and she even gave great favor to the family she loved the most, Castler Murella, so it was only right that she be respected as a family savior.

Johnny’s, who had hardly ever put anyone above his parents, was all about showing the utmost goodwill.

“Are you going to take the little ones with you again?”

When Privia asked, Philip nodded.

“Well, since I came here, there is nothing I can do about it. Actually, isn’t this all experience? You never know when you will fight a spirit body in your life, but if you meet it once in a safe situation, it will be of great help later on.”

“Basically, the soul has no physical form. It is in line with the fact that the means of attack we can use against the spirits is very limited.”

Philip briefly explained to Lua and Janis before he started searching for the ghost.

“If our goal is to simply eradicate the ghosts rather than destroy them, there is no need to resolve them through battle. Usually, the souls with resentment are those who died unjustly, so in most cases, if the resentment is resolved to some degree, they ascend to heaven.”

“Well, then what if the spirit intends to fight?”

Johnny’s raised his hand with an anxious expression.

“Usually, curses or mental attacks are the main means of attack, but there are also objects that exert strong physical power depending on the object. It depends on how strong the grudge is and how much karma he accumulated in his lifetime, but the ghosts we will face this time are likely to use all of them.”

After Philip’s explanation of wealth, Lua raised her hand this time.

“Then what should we do?”

“Lua, there’s nothing you can do right now, so you just have to remember how me and that wizard sister deal with the ghosts. Johnny, if I give you a signal, try some spirit magic. Confusion or perception-damaging magic would work well.”

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a story.”

Johnny’s head was tilted at the opponent’s method, which he had never heard of before. Meanwhile, Pribia was amazed at Philip’s knowledge.

‘How do humans know that?’

What Philip said was a method that dragons only use when defeating very powerful spirits.

“There’s no need to search, just go in the dark direction, so everyone move together, and Johnny and Lua stick close to me.”

“… What about me?”

Lizriel raised her hand and asked a question. Philip looked at Privia in silence.

“Don’t play tricks and come over here. If you are afraid, you can hold me in my arms.”

Rizriel stood next to Privia with a tearful face at the trick that was blocked from the start. With a mischievous expression on her face, Privia wrapped her arms around Rizriel’s waist and pulled her.

“Stay closer. If you’re that far away, you won’t be able to stop the ghosts from possessing you.”

“Why, why are you like this… ?”

Feeling pity for Lizriel, who quickly became Privia’s toy, Philip tried to ignore her.

It wasn’t that difficult to find the ghost.

After going a little further north, I saw an irregular object made of black mist wrapped around several trees and swimming in the air, as if asking me to find it.

“… Hee-ik.”

Even Lua, who was quite nervous about the hideous and ominous appearance, was frightened and held on tightly to the hem of Philip’s clothes.

“ah… OMG… .”

Johnny hid himself completely behind Philip’s back, holding onto Philip’s sleeve as if it were a lifeline.

—… … this… human… … human?

The ghost seemed to sense the presence of the party.

Soon, the irregular fog gathered into one place and turned into a round shape with two empty eyes and a large mouth.

—… I am… here is… my hometown… miss… Betrayal… human… I am… … who?

The ghost muttered a few words of unknown meaning, then glared at the party.

“It is still before the ego is revived. Then it’s easy. Magician child, you can defeat him with your own strength. The power he has is strong, but he won’t be able to use it properly before he has reason yet.”

Freevia, who was slightly stained by Philip, kindly explained.

“I… I… mental world… No, does mental magic really work?”

Asked by Janis, who gained confidence in those words, Pribia nodded.

“then… .”

Janice raised her cane. At that moment, something was about to pop into Philip’s mind.

‘Elpenia Forest, resentment, soul, betrayal, and hometown… ?’

If it had been a few years ago, something would have come to mind in an instant, but Philip, who had last cleared the original game for a long time, still couldn’t immediately come up with the necessary information.

‘I’d like this.’

After deciding on the magic to use, Johnnys waved his staff, made hand signs, and even chanted.

‘Mind Shock’, one of the lieutenant magics of the mental world, is a spell that confuses the opponent and makes them stop thinking.

The moment Johnny’s spell was completed, the pieces of memory in Philip’s head were also completed. Philip hurriedly shut Janice’s mouth and pulled her outstretched arm.

“mind… Shock!”

As she was about to complete the spell, she bit off Philip’s finger when he closed his mouth. Philip apologized to Janice without blinking an eye.

“sorry. Johnny’s. Wait a minute.”

“In regret… .”

Embarrassed, Johnny answered without taking Philip’s finger out of his mouth, then suddenly came to his senses and stepped back.

“Why?”

Freevia tilted her head. There was no reason for Philip to stop Johnny. Philip muttered as he looked at Privia in disbelief.

“It’s like a ghost I know.”

“what?”

“It is literally. I think I know the identity of that ghost.”

Philip took a few steps closer to the ghost. As he approached, dozens of tentacles sprouted from the ghost’s dark body.

“… I can’t believe it’s still before it falls into the hands of the demons. If this is the case, the story will be different. Isn’t that right, Elseus?”

At the mention of the name Elseus, the movement of the ghost stopped.

—… … name… familiar… .

‘This is exactly what the saying about catching a mouse while stepping backwards from a cow. I never thought I’d meet one of the demon dukes here.’

Elseus was a name Philip could never forget. That ghost was a being who would become a duke of the Demon Realm in a few years if the story progressed normally.

A thousand years ago, the era of Master Solvein.

Elseus, the first high elf swordsman who acted as his colleague, must have been the true identity of that soul.

Of course, that was when Philip wasn’t wrong.
