The Savior of the Villainess in a Romance Novel

5. real man in romance

[The mastery of swordsmanship has increased by 1.]

I’m at the training ground now. While wielding only the sword with dignity.

I don’t know when the duel will be scheduled, but for me right now, every minute and every second is precious.

A movement so violent that it made you sweat. The schoolteacher who was watching this spoke up.

“You work hard.”

“I have a duel scheduled soon.”

“duel? with who?”

“This is Prince Edelian from Ruterra.”

The teacher’s eyes widened.

“Are you crazy?”

“I’m not crazy.”

But why is that bastard pretending to be friends from earlier? He said all he did was open the door to the training ground.

“You know the famous swordsmanship, the Adelian family, right?”

“Sure.”

I could tell by looking at the teacher’s face. He must have thought, ‘What kind of bastards are there?’

“That, yes. Work hard…”

As if the student didn’t want to get involved with me, he hurriedly left the training ground.

No, is the Adelian family that scary?

Seabarger. When I become a swordsman later, I will buy the Archmage’s Path package and establish a family. It is also a prestigious magic swordsman family.

A prestigious magic swordsman family! how cool is that

The time when I was swinging my sword while thinking nonsensical things.

“Is Hound Agil here?”

A golden haired blonde appeared shouting.

“Here I am.”

“The duel has been scheduled. It’s three days from today.”

Ruterra Adelian’s servant? You look like an aristocrat…

“okay.”

“okay? Do you know what you have done?”

The white hair approached and pointed with a finger.

“It wasn’t enough for the garbage to go wild at the entrance celebration party, even to challenge the eldest son of Duke Edelian to a duel. Did the liver come out of the boat?”

Looking at the distorted eyebrows and flushed face, it seems that this bastard is more angry than Rutera for some reason.

I said, stamping the tip of my wooden sword on the floor.

“So what do you want to say?”

“her. See what this guy is saying? It sounds like you know the subject. You have plenty of time, so abstain on your own.”

abstention? No way. never. I planned to beat up Ruterra Adelian, but there’s no way I’ll miss that opportunity.

“Sorry, but I have no intention of abstaining. Because I will win.”

Hearing my words, the old white hair picked up the sword in the training ground as if very angry.

“A guy who doesn’t even know this subject!”

I narrowed my brows and glared at my all-white hair.

“Would you like to fight with me?”

“okay. To let you know that the sky is high.”

Rather good. I didn’t know my skills right now because I lacked practical experience and trained alone, but I can’t believe this opportunity came.

There is such a thing in the world. Jipijigi is invincible.

It is said that if you know the enemy and know yourself, you will be stunned. something weird but right

“Then I’d like to ask you a favor.”

Looking at the angular posture of the all-back hair, it seems that it was not unfounded confidence. Small muscles peeking out from the rolled up sleeves and calluses on the palms. Is that guy a swordsman too?

Taat! The all-back head grabbed the wooden sword with both hands and charged.

‘hmm?’

The direction of the attack is drawn with a red line.

‘Upper left corner.’

Swoop. I dodged his attack just by turning my shoulder.

“what?”

“He doesn’t have much sense of swordsmanship.”

“This is…!”

“I’m sorry, but what about your family?”

“I am a vassal of the Viscount Lauren, Duke Edelian!”

Somehow, that makes Ji more angry? I thought I was ignoring the owner.

The white-haired man charged at me brandishing a wooden sword. Seeing him grit his teeth, his anger reached me. However, anger and skill are different, and I easily dodge that attack.

“Heo-eok, heck…”

“You know what?”

“Huh. what?”

“I didn’t move one step from my seat.”

“⋯⋯.”

“The sky is high is what I’m talking about.”

I filled the wooden sword in my hand with an aura and swung it hard.

Quick! The all-back head blocked the horizontally swinging attack, but the wooden sword broke and flew away.

‘I didn’t intend to hit it this hard?’

All-white hair grabbed his right arm and stood up swaying.

“You, what the hell are you…!”

“Um… well. did i say I think I will win.”

I didn’t expect it to be this much, but… is he just weak?

“I am two stars, but this much, your power is not the power that a commoner can have! Did you use witchcraft!”

Was it 2 stars? So now my level is 3 stars… 4 stars may not be far away.

“Sorry, but I have three stars.”

“So that doesn’t make sense!”

“Because I’m a special student.”

What did I answer wrong? The all-white hair makes a bewildered expression.

“I see that my right arm is swollen, so I need to go to the infirmary. Shall I give you some help?”

“I do not need! I will definitely remember you.”

All-back head grabbed his right arm and limped out of the training ground.

Memories suck. A baby who flew away after being hit by one is still alive. Is this what the empty cart is making a fuss about? Well, it was nice to be able to fight. It was a sparring that wasn’t even sparring.

‘Anyway, that red line, is it really worth doing with Ruterra Edelian?’

Even after finishing the sparring, I was swinging my sword without rest.

Then, at the training ground, a woman came in and told me.

“The lady is calling.”

“If you are a young lady, are you by any chance the lady of the Marquis Merian?”

“yes. He ordered you to come right away.”

Come to think of it, I haven’t talked to Mikaris since leaving the party. It didn’t make sense to say that it was just because I was in a bad mood.

I followed the attendant to Mikaris Merian.

smart. The attendant carefully knocked on the door.

“My lady, I brought you Hound Agil.”

“come in.”

Upon opening the door and entering, Mikaris Erian was sitting with his legs crossed.

“Why did you call me?”

“Let’s start with the main topic…. Yesterday, I was embarrassed too, so I inadvertently appointed you as an engineer under your direct control. What is your purpose?”

“Did you tell me? It’s a purpose, it’s just because I feel bad.”

“Do you think that is an acceptable answer?”

“⋯There is no particular reason.”

Mikaris stood up and shouted.

“There must be some purpose!”

“If that’s the case… I just wanted to beat Prince Rutera. And I turn my gaze away from the young lady.”

“What is that?”

Mikaris shook his head and let out a sigh.

“After… You seem to be the kind of human being I can’t understand, so that’s it. However, if you win the duel, I will do as much as possible for you.”

“Is that true?”

“okay. No matter what, you’re fighting for me. If you lose, prepare for the punishment you will receive.”

What windfall is this? Do you want to hear what you want?

“Thanks to that, I am full of motivation. Do you have anything more to say?”

Mikaris said while looking out the window with her chin resting.

“okay. Go out now.”

“Enough then…”

When I left the tea room, I burst out laughing.

“After, later”

It was an unpleasant laugh even for me.

It’s one request, so what should I ask for?

‘No, don’t be careless. You haven’t won yet.’

The only people who have fought so far are that long hair and Fenrir. There was too little data. It was said that if you were a Jipi, you would win 100 times, but it was a situation where the opponent did not know me, the most important thing, even if he knew.

“⋯⋯.”

A good idea came to mind. Go to the swordsmanship instructor and ask him to check my swordsmanship.

Then I can definitely check my current skills.

So I went to the swordsmanship instructor.

“You want me to teach you swordsmanship?”

“Yes, I would like to know what level my current level is in Dalian.”

“Why do I have to go to sparring with you and let you know your level? What kind of swordsmanship in a commoner’s system…”

The swordsmanship instructor didn’t even look at me. Are the commoners in this world being treated like pigs and dogs?

Seeing the instructor’s plain expression, he seemed unwilling to engage in sparring, so he decided to provoke him.

“Are you sure you are not confident?”

“what?”

The instructor’s brow furrowed.

“Or are you afraid?”

I smiled and continued.

“there’s nothing we can do. You must know that my skills are enough to scare even the instructors.”

“Do you think I would fall for just such a provocation?”

“From the look on your face, it looks like you’re already halfway there.”

The instructor scratched his head as if everything in the world was annoying.

“…I’ll fall for that provocation especially this time.”

It turned out to be surprisingly simple.

I followed the instructor to the training ground.

⋯

The instructor asked while fiddling with the wooden sword.

“Don’t you know how to use Aura?”

“I know how to write.”

“Okay, then you use your aura. I won’t take out my aura.”

“I guess you are confident.”

“It’s not a level to lose to a kid who doesn’t even know the subject.”

The instructor raised a wooden sword and took a stance.

“I give up three attacks.”

Looking at him, the muscles of the wrists, shoulders, thighs, and calves. Seeing that it was well-balanced, it reminded me of myself before being possessed. If it was me before I was possessed, those muscles wouldn’t be a big deal.

But now this isn’t important…

I focused my gaze on the instructor in front of me. definitely an instructor Unlike his long white hair, he couldn’t find any gaps.

“Why? Although I said I would give up the first attack.”

“⋯⋯.”

I put an aura on the wooden sword in my hand. Blue light flowed from his heart and wrapped around the sword.

Taat! I ran to the instructor. First of all, it is a surprise attack with a horizontal cut.

“What?”

widely! The instructor countered my attack with a sword and lightly let it go.

“This is technology.”

I swung the wooden sword in succession. However, the instructor continued to spill it leisurely. Now the swords don’t even touch properly.

“Now, is it my turn?”

At that moment, without a gap to feel the red line, the instructor’s sword came right in front of me.

“Huh!”

I dodged the instructor’s attack by bending my waist halfway.

“I was seriously attacking you…. Aren’t you flexible?”

“I heard a lot.”

Suddenly, the instructor threw the wooden sword to the ground.

“I’m not a special student for nothing. Well, this is enough.”

“I only did this, but I passed?”

“Okay, what are you going to do with a serious sparring with a student? Also, I apologize for ignoring you as a commoner. Looking at the aura… is it three stars?”

“you’re right.”

It seems that you are not an instructor for nothing to confirm your level just by feeling the power of the aura.

“If you look at your level right now…”

The instructor scratched his chin and continued.

“I won’t fall behind the descendants of the swordsmen.”

That’s it? It’s a body that even bought a special privilege.

“okay. Thank you Dalian.”

“I am looking forward to future growth.”

The instructor left the training ground.

“⋯⋯.”

It’s a level that doesn’t fall behind the sword family…

I may have been a little arrogant all along. Because my opponent is the highest peak of the swordsmanship family.

I started swinging my sword more vigorously and more seriously than before. At the same time, he began to collect auras.

It wasn’t impossible, but the mental exhaustion was unbelievable. I could feel the fatigue in my body building up in real time. That can’t stop it. 3 days is a short time.

I could feel my clothes getting wet from cold sweat. I wanted to give up right away. Nonetheless, he persevered through it. Just the thought of beating Rutera, who was not cheap or had basic manners.

Three days passed with rigorous training.

***

-The eldest son of Adelian, the great master of swordsmanship in the empire! This is Ruterra Edelian’s position!

Wow-!

Cheers and cheers rang out as Rutera entered the crowd waving her hands.

Now it’s my turn.

– And a commoner who entered Estrada Academy as a special student! Hound Eggil, a commoner, enters!

Boo-!

Unlike when Ruterra entered, I was full of boos. But did I really need to emphasize that I was a commoner?

Mr.⋯.

Looking up, I saw Mikaris Merian watching from the special seat. She was watching with an expressionless expression, as if not expecting anything.

‘That expression makes me smile.’

The duel with Ruterra Adelian has begun.
