Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

35 – Time Attack (1)

“Ugh! Really, if you’re under attack, you need to send a signal first. “You can handle them now, but what if they were dangerous?”

“Well, so I did blow the trumpet later… “

“It blew! The situation is almost over! The maid who assists with that too! “I know this because I will definitely submit it to the Academy’s report!!”

After the unexpected attack situation was resolved, senior Stella returned and scolded me severely.

The main content is not the battle, but the crime of not reporting properly.

I have nothing to say about this. Even after seeing the guy who had served in the military, he didn’t do anything properly and got excited and just sat there fighting in the name of experience farming time…

If those people were really much stronger than me, then the mistake I made must have been a really big one. If anything happens, you will be attacked from behind and your response will be delayed and helpless.

“I’m sorry, senior. “I will never do that again.”

“Whoa…” Okay. Still, everyone else responded as expected, so I’ll trust you. “I’m sorry, John, for criticizing you too much when you achieved the feat and won.”

“No. “You told me because you were worried about me.”

“…John is definitely different. Other knights said not to interfere when they give advice… “

Isn’t it because there are so many strange kids in this world?

I always feel this too, but there are many people in this world who place so much importance on honor that their rational thinking is not working properly.

In some ways, this can be seen as a similar but quite different aspect of the modern times and the Middle Ages that I am familiar with. Even in modern times, there are many people who are crazy about fame and do irrational things with bad intentions.

“Senior Stella is very different from the senior drivers. From what I heard, there were many stories about senior knights treating junior knights as more than squires during subjugation requests.”

“There are quite a lot of people who have a bad mentality and want to give back to others what was done to them. But I don’t want to do that. “That doesn’t mean you can make money.”

Although it seems like he secretly reveals money, he never gives in to money when it comes to something really precious.

Why did this person become like he appeared in the game?

Although Stella likes money, she is not seen as pessimistic or wary of people.

I feel like she needs to pay a little more attention to her.

“Senior. If you ever need my help in the future, please let me know at any time. “Don’t think about things like respect or common sense.”

“hahahaha! Just saying thank you. Still, I’m not the type of person who lives with a lot of debt. So it’s okay! “I will just accept it with gratitude.”

I don’t know what exact incident will break her, but if I appealed to her this much, she will remember me.

As much as she doesn’t create debts, once she gets her debts she pays them back thoroughly.

This small expression of kindness now may come back in a big way someday.

We returned two days after departure and became the group that returned the fastest among the groups that went out on this subjugation quest.

– I thought I would enjoy the banquet, but it was a shame. Sincerity is also a knight’s virtue, so you don’t have to worry about it. In fact, it looks better. I’ll see you again next time I get a chance.

After Princess Angela heard our schedule at her dinner table, she canceled the light dinner party she had prepared.

Senior Stella was a bit embarrassed because it seemed rude for the princess to refuse the favor she had prepared, but since she really didn’t seem to care, she just decided to accept it gratefully.

Well, since he is currently busy with his work at the Sanghoe, he probably wants to go back to work as soon as possible.

I also had a goal, so I expressed my gratitude for the consideration and quickly returned to the academy.

“The document completing the subjugation request for the Arpen Territory has been received. Thank you for your hard work, Sir Stella and Sir John.”

A staff member in the administrative office checks the documents submitted by senior Stella and calmly gives her a confirmation certificate.

The performance was good and the period was the fastest, so even considering the travel time, you can expect better results than others.

“The group that returned the fastest can carry out additional subjugation quests if another group requests support in the future. Are you willing to do that?”

After completing the request, a staff member in the administrative office told me what I wanted.

Time Attack.

Originally, the game had a system where when you cleared a dungeon within a certain time, you would be given an additional opportunity by increasing the difficulty.

For this reason, in order to develop the character a little more in the beginning, players paid a lot of attention to time attack during the tutorial.

Some people came back early to see if the system in the game might be reflected in reality, and it didn’t seem to disappoint their expectations.

“I will stop. “I have other plans.”

“I understand, Sir Stella. What will Sir John do?”

“I will do it. Any request is fine, so please let me know when it’s confirmed.”

“I understand. Then, I will contact Sir John separately from the administrative office later. I think the estimated time is about a week, so I hope you can rest comfortably in the meantime.”

After completing all the procedures, I was able to say hello to my senior and enjoy my freedom.

“Oh, I came right away after hearing that my student was here, but he looks much better than I expected.”

A really short period of freedom.

“Huh, Sword Saint?”

“This guy, as soon as he came, he didn’t even think about saying hello to Master and just minded his own business. “The empire’s duty has fallen to the ground.”

The Sword Saint, who was making noises like something out of a martial arts scene, grabbed me by the back of my neck and started dragging me somewhere, and as a weak man with no strength, I had no choice but to do as the Sword Saint wanted.

“Yes, Sword Saint. My disciple has just returned from a subjugation quest and is a little tired… “

“Why are there so many things to say after visiting the royal family’s child’s territory, which is only a short distance away by horseback at best? “I assigned you there myself, so there’s no way you wouldn’t know the schedule.”

I thought it was a good deal because it was so close, but it turns out it was all thanks to Geomseong-nim laying the groundwork.

I feel proud because I have an unexpected and reliable supporter.

“Okay, now let’s go practice. “I missed training for two days, so I need to focus on training for at least a week.”

“Master, after resting for at least a day… “

“The elixir I got for you just arrived today. “It’s best to quickly absorb the elixir and practice, but are you really planning on resting?”

“Thank you for your training guidance, Master.”

Even though I’m tired, I can’t stand the elixir.

This elixir was obtained after knowing my level, so it will probably be the most effective.

When you’re tired, the best thing to do is drink some elixir, exercise hard, wash up, and then sleep.

After returning from the subjugation quest, I received a generous reward for my time attack.

“Status window.”

-Tiring!

“Now, we have grown to the level of a truly low-ranking name… ?”

Now, even though I have only had intermediate level experience in the academy, my strength and agility have reached 60,

“The growth in mana is crazy, crazy.”

This growth rate is achieved just by the Sword Saint’s slight modification to the mana practice method and the consumption of elixirs.

I think this is probably due to the synergy between the long-term chronic characteristic and the sensitive sense, which is a passive skill, resulting in this ridiculous growth rate.

Perhaps it is because Yohan’s body has never received any training before, but it feels like a torrent of mana and knowledge of swordsmanship is seeping into each and every cell.

The Sword Master also recently told me that if I put in a little more effort, I would be able to create my own new sword technique…

Everything is smooth.

As if it were compensating me for the hardships of my life so far.

“Then, once we receive additional requests, we can begin our activities in earnest.”

Once this mid-term evaluation passes, the final evaluation of the semester begins.

The curriculum of the Imperial Knight Academy is a repetition of training, practical combat, and sparring.

In the meantime, we continue to study other areas such as liberal arts, but since it is a ‘knight’ academy, the most important thing is to become as familiar with the role of a knight as possible.

In addition to me, people who have completed subjugation quests are slowly starting to appear, so soon…

“This guy looks to be in very good condition.”

“Are you here, Sword Saint?”

As I was thinking about additional missions, the Sword Saint came as usual.

What kind of training is today? Fence? Mana practice? Otherwise tactics…

“Looking at my condition, I think I can complete additional missions without difficulty.”

“Oh, it looks like the additional mission has finally arrived.”

If among the students who have currently received a subjugation request, it is difficult to carry out the mission or support is needed due to unexpected variables.

The additional mission is to support students who have already completed subjugation quests.

To me, it feels like an additional quest due to Time Attack.

“So, where should I go?”

Is the southern region showing quite a few signs of civil unrest by now?

Maybe it’s a mission to hunt down the imperial guard and rebel organizations in the imperial capital…

In my ears, guessing expected events and anticipating things to do,

From noble mtl dot com

“The place you will be supporting this time is the Tarkashan region near the northern front, where Lena Sartien is currently in charge of subjugation requests.”

I heard a region and name that I was not expecting at all.
