34 – Watch and think (2)

“Is it okay to say that?”

“What?”

“Director, your older brother. He’s the eldest son of the family, so I was wondering if it was okay to run into him like that.”

“Ah.”

Silin replied with a blunt face.

“If you reject me or hate me for this, you are proving to yourself that you are not qualified to be the head of the household. Doesn’t care.”

I forgot that you just sided with me.

Silin originally had such a cold personality.

Does she think so? She was really like her just now.

“Do you like me?”

“What? No?”

“Look. You don’t like it.”

So there is nothing wrong with what I just said.

“… ….”

Eugene, stunned by Silin’s radical way of talking, trudged along to the training ground.

“Come here.”

He walked to the corner of the training ground as Silin led him. Since it was a personal job to look after the sword, it was the right thing to do in a place where others’ eyes were rare.

“Huap!”

“Ahh!”

At some point, the members started training autonomously in various places in the training ground.

With an appropriate distance from them, Silin and Eugene each raised their swords.

“Didn’t I ask you to look at the sword?”

“Yes.”

“Then try swinging it once.”

“Okay.”

Silin nodded her head and walked away from Eugene.

“I will practice the family swordsmanship in order, so please tell me if there are any shortcomings while watching.”

“Yes.”

Silin raised her sword and changed her expression to a serious one. She took her middle ground and began practicing her family swordsmanship.

Hooung!

Starting with the basic swordsmanship, which is the basis of everything, the higher swordsmanships were developed sequentially.

Love liquid!

The sword was imbued with magical energy, and sword spirit bloomed, and dozens of lines were drawn in the air.

The characteristic of the Duchess of Ruberta’s swordsmanship was that it was flawless in all respects. The biggest advantage was ‘completeness’.

The sword Silin unfurled had no blemishes, no gaps.

‘If you look at it from the point of view of an ordinary swordsman.’

How can I explain this?

A single report could not make an accurate judgment.

“Open it one more time.”

“Haa…… Ha…… Okay.”

Her breath caught up to the tip of her throat as she unfolded her sword, but at Eugene’s words, she began to unfold her sword again.

Eugene focused and looked at her sword. The hand that holds the sword, the movement of the fine muscles, and even the coordination of footwork and sword.

“Haa… …. Are you done now?”

Silin, who opened the sword twice without stopping, breathed heavily.

Eugene replied with her serious face.

“One more time.”

“…… Okay… ….”

Silin kept her mouth shut and raised her sword. From the beginning, it was not difficult for her to open her sword with all her might, but there seemed to be a reason for Eugene’s serious gaze.

“Whoa… ….”

Pushing back the silver hair that covered her eyes, Shilin unfolded his sword. Thus, three demonstrations were completed.

Silin’s whole body was drenched in sweat.

“…… That’s it…… ?”

Her clothes were damp, and the color of her body was subtly visible. Depending on the viewer, it could feel dangerous.

But Eugene wasn’t interested in that.

He chewed on Silin’s sword, which remained like an afterimage of her in her eyes, and thought about how to convey the ambiguous thoughts she felt now.

After a moment of silence, he opened her mouth.

“It’s hard to explain.”

“…… Uh?”

Silin made an absurd face.

She unfurled her sword three times with all her might, and such an ambiguous answer?

If it wasn’t Eugene, but another swordsman, they would argue about what that meant.

Since it was Eugene who had shown her unbelievable miracles many times, she put up with the question.

“What does that mean?”

“So… ….”

This is Eugene’s candid feelings.

Silin’s sword was excellent. She had already surpassed the level of her grade, and even in the upper class, she had a hard time finding a match.

But it was a story from an ordinary point of view.

‘I didn’t ask you to look at the sword to get an obvious compliment.’

Eugene saw her Shilin’s sword from her own perspective.

Her sword…….

It was full of parts to fix. She couldn’t pinpoint anything to say.

It’s not like that there, it’s like this!

I had to correct it throughout the swordsmanship in such a way.

I tried to straighten the sword somehow by condensing it into a few phrases, but it just wasn’t possible.

‘I asked to see it three times…….’

There was a limit to conveying in black words. It was faster to show it once than to say it for a hundred days.

So I have no choice but to show it myself.

“I can’t say anything, so take a look. I will imitate your sword and show you.”

“What?”

Follow me? My sword?

The sword of the Luberta family that Shilin unfolded was notorious for being difficult. Silin is also a sword she has devoted her whole life to learning. It wasn’t something she could follow eye-to-eye.

‘What is he talking about?’

Silin looked at Eugene with her trembling eyes. He was already taking a break.

“Look and think. What is different about your sword?”

Eugene put her foot back and began to move her sword.

It was the same movement as Silin’s unfurled sword. She was noticeably slower than hers, but there was no doubt that it was her family’s swordsmanship.

‘How can this…… !’

It took at least five years to wield the sword of the Luberta family like that. And that’s under the condition that her talent is the same as his.

‘How?’

The miracle Eugene is showing now is incomprehensible. I was naturally speechless. She just looked at Eugene’s sword with her ruined face.

Suddenly, I remembered what he had said before.

He said.

As you look at the sword, think about what makes it different from your sword.

The sword Eugene showed was the same as hers. It was shockingly similar. However, there were small and subtle differences among them.

Sillin could tell by looking at it.

That sword was more complete than her sword.

If you wield the sword as it is, it was clear that not only would the perfection of the sword method increase, but also the level of practical combat would go up to a different level.

This was a very rare sight. If possible, I wanted to remember it so that I would not forget it for the rest of my life.

Silin opened her eyes and looked at Eugene. She didn’t even blink to miss a single movement.

She had to remember the sword he was unfolding and unfold it. Then, it was clear that his swordsmanship skills would improve.

It was actually long, but to Silin, Eugene’s demonstration was over in the blink of an eye.

“Did you get anything out of it?”

“… ….”

Silin couldn’t bear to answer that question.

How can you say it like it’s nothing?

‘Did you get something?’

I got so much that I almost burst into tears.

I didn’t have the shame to ask for anything more.

However, she is a swordsman and needs to raise her level of swordsmanship, so she risked her face and asked for it.

“Once! Can I show you one more time? Then I’ll listen to anything!”

“Okay. Just look.”

It’s not that difficult.

Yujin raised her sword. Silene gulped down her saliva and slammed everything he did into her eyes.

This was something that the previous owner, who was lazy with the sword, could never have done, and it was only possible because Eugene burned everything with the sword.

That’s how Eugene’s second demonstration ended.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes!”

Silin nodded her head vigorously. She had to unfold the sword as soon as possible when the sword Eugene showed her was still vivid in her eyes.

She raised her sword with her rather serious face, and unfolded the sword, repeating what Eugene had shown her.

“Then I will go.”

Eugene said goodbye to her, but she didn’t even hear it.

She wasn’t in a trance, but she entered a state of extreme concentration, and Silin began training, staring at her sword.

‘I won’t be able to hear even if someone speaks next to me.’

If you interfere with that, you might get stabbed.

She looked after the sword as she requested, so the task was finished.

Without anyone knowing, Eugene quietly left the training ground.

‘That man… ….’

There was a female student looking at his back, so it was Justia von Ruiz.

She practiced privately not far away, watching Silin and Eugene while killing her presence.

She knew that it was bad manners to secretly look at someone else’s swordsmanship map, but her interest in Eugene made her take the risk.

Silin and Eugene were immersed in each other, so nothing was discovered.

She saw Silin’s sword, and saw Eugene’s sword copying it.

‘How surprised I was.’

Seeing that, Justia was shocked. She couldn’t close her gaping mouth until just a moment ago.

Her swordsmanship talent was lower than Silin’s, but since she was of royalty, she was well within the category of genius.

He had eyes to see how great Eugene had done and how high-level her talent was.

‘I think that would be helpful… ….’

She had to become her empress in order to get rid of the hateful things in her palace that brought her mother to her death.

Eugene seemed like a person who would help with that task.

‘If I could capture his heart from now on… ….’

In the future, when he grows beyond compare to now, won’t he bring him tremendous power? I thought.

She knew there was nothing she could do on her own.

Won’t you know if you were born on the ship of the royal family? She was just a body without a mother. Although her swordsmanship skills were outstanding, she was a loner in the imperial palace.

Though the emperor helped them survive and survived, the reality was that they had no strength whatsoever.

There was a right to succeed to the throne, but the possibility of becoming an empress was infinitely low.

‘If that man lends his strength, it’ll be a different story.’

A smile was drawn on Justia’s face. It was a beautiful smile, like an angel’s downfall. Of course, her thoughts in that head were far from beauty.

She knew my strengths.

It wasn’t a sword.

She thinks her most powerful weapon is her peerless beauty, which she inherited from her beautiful mother.

She was confident that if she put her mind to it, she would knock down every man in the world.

‘Should I win his heart?’

In Justia’s heart, the two letters ‘Eugene’ were clearly engraved.
