Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

26 – Ego Sword (1)

‘I have to be thankful…’ ‘

-He who carries on the name of Marhen must always be aware of its weight. Anywhere else.

This saying, passed down to all direct descendants of the Marhen family, also applies to Eunwon.

-John said to call you too? I will be receiving lessons from the Sword Saint in the evening. Are you going?

Eleanor nodded her head calmly in response to what her roommate, Lena Sartian, had said, but she could not calm down at all.

The teachings of the Sword Saint that I never asked for, never expected, and never expected.

If I could learn her sword, which is said to be the guardian sword of the empire, it would never be a dream to surpass the sword of her mother, the duke.

And as a result of the actual teaching in the evening, she also saw the clue.

-It would be a good idea to gradually learn weapon techniques other than shields. The attack pattern is so monotonous that it is predictable.

She was just grateful to the Sword Saint who concretely told her what she thought was blocked.

Eleanor’s height is shorter than that of men.

Even though she didn’t know about her shield, there were limits to how she could use her sword.

Even if you have a talent for swords, if you can use a longer weapon as a side weapon, you might be able to create something unexpected.

She herself would have realized this at some point, but it was thanks to John who introduced himself to her swordsman that she learned this quickly.

‘I have to repay you…’ ‘

I don’t want to be a person who doesn’t know grace.

“So, what do you mean by what you want to do, Princess Marhen?”

Eleanor looked up at John, who spoke to her with her smile.

In her gray sky, her golden hair flutters and her red eyes shine upon her like her moonlight.

“……”

“Princess?”

“…Eleanor.”

“Yes?”

“Call me Eleanor.”

When I look up at this man, I feel dazzled by something, so I turn my head to speak to him. I’ve never had anything like this…

“Yes, Miss Eleanor. You said you had something to tell me. “What is it?”

“…I want to thank you for introducing me to the Sword Saint, and I want to repay you.”

“Oh, that wouldn’t have happened if Eleanor wasn’t talented. “I just said it because I had a connection with the Sword Saint and it came to mind.”

It does not change the fact that this itself is a tremendous grace.

Although there was a difference between the duke’s direct lineage and the commoner’s status, Eleanor did not mind that fact at all.

As equal quasi-knights, we must move forward on the same path.

Perhaps, she only seemed like someone who could become a comrade who would make her long-held wish come true.

“Still, I want to return the favor. Tell me what you want Money or elixir? Weapon? Just tell me. “I’ll be sure to get it for you.”

Therefore, she was Eleanor who wanted to give what she could.

To Eleanor

“Then, Miss Eleanor.”

The golden-haired man who was the only one shining in her gray world

“Do you have any time this weekend?”

It threw her mind, which had always remained calm, into confusion.

* * *

“Wow, this is how the snowball rolls.”

A week after entering the academy.

When I think back on the times when I was able to gain more than I expected, I can’t help but laugh.

“Status window.”

-Tiring!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

In just one week, all abilities except mental increased.

Now, everyone’s abilities are over 50.

After learning the Sartien Mana practice from Aunt Lana, I am just happy to see my abilities, which had grown explosively and stagnated for a while, increase in a short period of time.

In line with my rising abilities, I feel like my condition when I wake up every morning is getting better with each passing day.

It was worth it to run hard every morning in my armor and even take classes in sparring. As expected, efforts are never betrayed.

In particular, it would not be an exaggeration to say that my time with Geomseong was truly an opportunity for me.

-Sir Sartien taught me the proper method of mana practice. However, considering Yohan’s talent and gender, it might be a good idea to try something a little different. Now, remember the path of my mana.

It was simply a slight change in the mana flow path, but without the effects of elixirs or anything like that for a week, the mana level rose by 5.

I soon became accustomed to fighting wearing armor and helmets. Wearing armor no longer interferes with my senses like before.

“The specs have now been raised to the level where one can be active during the imperial civil war.”

It is not that much longer in the story than now, but in terms of time, there is an episode of division of the empire and civil war about two years later.

In the game, it was just characters dying, but here, countless people will be caught up in the chaos.

“I have to become stronger.”

If only to protect the relationship I found here.

I have always lived a life of losing.

I barely gained a little bit of fame, and when I was about to soar, I lost my life.

A life given again only after such loss and loss.

It will never be taken away.

“Lena, Aunt Lana, and Eleanor.”

A new family and prospective colleagues.

I have no intention of losing anything. If I had taken it, I would have taken it.

This is the first step to be taken.

In order to get weapons to become stronger, we will head to the dungeon today as we have free time.

“I should go out soon.”

-Clap, clank.

Wearing armor, I go out to visit the dormitory.

“Look over there. He… “You’re Johan, right?”

“It’s covered by the armor, but I think it’s true.”

“Training with armor on the weekend… “It’s really poisonous.”

The sounds of women around you. As always, I get attention.

But now the perspective is quite different from before.

“That’s how a man can become a driver, even a second driver…” “That’s amazing.”

“You can’t lose to a man. Hey, let’s go training too.”

“hahahaha, hahahaha… Look at the eyes through the helmet… I think I’m getting redder… Sigh… Sigh… “

At first, the reputation of being the top student in the written test and all that started to disappear as I became more active in the academy’s classes, including the basic swordsmanship class.

The controversy was completely dismissed by showing everyone the swordsmanship sparring between Lena, Sharon, Meron, and Eleanor.

“What is the chief of the written exam? It turns out that I was the top student in the practical exam. “With swordsmanship like that, it’s understandable that he’s second place.”

“I think physical strength and strength are no joke. If I talk to you later, will you spar with me? “I think I have a lot to learn.”

“But I did so well on the practical test that I beat Princess Marhen, and I got second place. “Then how bad did you miss the written test?”

Instead, it seems like a new controversy has arisen. But that’s based on facts…

Ac, it’s okay for a knight to use his sword well and manage his territory well later, don’t worry about culture or anything like that.

Ignoring my slightly flushed cheeks, I walked out of the dormitory and headed toward the place where the carriages were gathered.

“John!! “It’s here!!”

“Our employer, you have finally arrived?”

“Look at the armor… No matter how many times I see it, it looks good on me.”

“…Hello.”

Four women already gathered, excluding me.

Like me, Lena, Sharon, and Meron were wearing armor and helmets provided by the Academy, and Eleanor, unlike usual, brought her own family armor and weapons.

The wagon prepared in advance is fully loaded with camping supplies.

‘Of course, money is the best.’

Suddenly, my wallet, who was able to prepare all these things, comes to mind.

-Prepare everything written here on the weekend. Oh, and cash for the amount written there. Understand?

-Wow, this is too much! They say they will continue to rip you off from now on! If this is the case, I have to sell all my belongings…

-Noisy. Choose. Do you want to quietly give up the money or get expelled?

-Ugh, uhm… This guy is like a robber…

Honestly, I didn’t know that he would save me, but Majella was so special that he saved everything thoroughly.

When the money was taken away, the sad look on his face pricked my conscience a little, but did someone threaten to r*ape me with a knife? I’ll pay you a lot of money from the settlement, so hold on with all your might.

There was no benefit to me even if he died or was expelled from school, so it would be better for me to just stay and act as an ATM machine that takes out money. Because they do such miscellaneous things.

“Sharon, Meron. Now, here. “The advance payment that was promised.”

“Oh… It’s true. “John, it turns out he’s quite rich, right?”

“If this is the case, then you are our employer! Please take good care of us in the future too, customer!!”

Part of the money earned by ripping off Majella to conquer the dungeon was used to hire Sharon and Meron.

They may not be as skilled as Lena and Eleanor, but they are sufficiently skilled, so they will be helpful in conquering the dungeon.

As soon as Lena asked me to help her get to the dungeon, she said she would protect her and gave up her precious weekend time.

Thank you Lena… I’ll definitely give you a special weapon later. Because I remember the weapon settings that Hannah wrote down… !

And the key to this strategy

“Miss Eleanor. Thank you. “Please make time like this on the weekend.”

“…Because it’s a promise. Huh. “Because it’s a promise.”

Our human rights fan was twisting her hair with her hands, her face slightly red, as if she was feeling a little uncomfortable.

Of course, it might be a little annoying to be out like this on a weekend, one of the few free days available at the Academy. Sorry.

After she was under the guidance of the Sword Saint, I asked her to go to the dungeon together on her weekends, and her face turned red.

Considering that his pale skin had changed into a very red, feverish look, it may have felt quite insulting. Because it could be seen as treating them like mercenaries rather than knights.

Still, in the end, she bowed her head and accepted her offer, and she was just grateful.

“If you don’t mind, would you like some candy, Miss Eleanor?”

“…I want to eat.”

As if she couldn’t help but like her sweet tooth, she took her hand out of her hair when she put the candy in her mouth.

If we can take our human rights character to raid the dungeon in this way, there will be nothing left.

“Then let’s leave now.”

So I came to this world, and for the first time, I found a hidden piece, a weapon for myself.

I boarded the carriage to find the ‘Ego Sword’.
