The Academy’s Genius Magic Swordsman

It was the ceiling of Perdalos Mansion, which he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Three days ago, at the after-party, I proposed recruiting a party to senior Xian.

After drinking more than usual and taking Stella and Lulu to their dorms.

Two days ago, I hurriedly prepared and got on the carriage heading to my hometown.

From the ecliptic to the Marquis of High Garden. It took a full day to move from High Garden Margrave to Perdalos Mansion again.

It was yesterday evening that I entered my room as soon as I arrived tired from traveling.

To be honest, there was still work to be done at the academy, so it was a bit of a cumbersome schedule to come down to the manor.

If it wasn’t for this vacation, it would be difficult to even set foot in the estate for a while until graduation.

The most leisurely part of the rest of the vacation was the summer vacation of my sophomore year.

Delphina will enter the academy from next year, so we will be able to see each other often.

This summer was my last chance to talk face-to-face with my parents.

Even if he was a bit busy, he made time to visit the manor.

In fact, Delphina’s admission to the academy was one of the things that had not been accomplished in her previous life.

After my mother passed away without being able to survive the winter. My father was almost drunk like a disabled person and didn’t take care of Youngji.

Since I was busy at the academy for a while, I didn’t have time to look at the situation in the estate.

Delphina, who had a strong sense of responsibility, gave up going to school and focused on managing the estate.

In the past, I found out that my younger sister had given up on going to school until the first semester of my third year.

At that time, it was after she had already missed the time to go to school.

Of course, if the territory had stabilized to some extent, Delphina could have been admitted to the Alexandros Academy spear department even the following year.

In his previous life, the Perdalos estate and management difficulties were like words that always stuck together.

In the end, Delphina could not take her hands off the management of the Perdalos estate until she became an outsider due to an arranged marriage.

It was this part that I felt most guilty about my sister in my past life.

The biggest reason was that I left the management of the estate to my younger sister, which I should have taken over as the eldest son.

The second reason was that he couldn’t even spread his will to learn because he was taking care of me.

Lastly, in order to somehow maintain the territory, it was the last thing that I had to marry as if I was being sold through an unwanted marriage of convenience.

Of course, in this lifetime, as much as my mother got up safely from the hospital and is actively participating in the management of the estate.

It probably won’t flow into a pitiful future like the previous life.

Still, I needed to confirm with my own eyes that the future had changed.

Of course, I didn’t have a very leisurely schedule either, so I’d just check the status of Yeongji’s work and go back to the academy right away.

In the meantime, I will help a little with the management of my mother’s estate.

It was because he had risen to the level of a 4th circle wizard, a category with his own skills, so there were plenty of places to use his strength.

“I need to take a shower first.”

Yesterday, I was so tired that I skipped dinner, and I collapsed as soon as I got home.

My attire was the same as a dirty street clothes with a cape on it.

No matter how far away nobles were, they had to have the minimum courtesy, so a simple customs and change of clothes before breakfast was essential.

Because the inside of Perdalos Mansion was a place where not only the family but also servants and other residents of the territory came and went.

Even if I can’t play a noble lady who is breathtaking in every moment like Delphina.

At least in a mansion where many people knew that I was Conrad Perdalos, I had to dress like an aristocrat.

I took off my cloak and top appropriately and hung them up near the bed.

I took a cold shower using water magic in my private bathroom.

When you return to your bedroom after washing away the dirt from your body with cool water that awakens your mind.

There was an uninvited guest in the room I didn’t know.

“Ah, Bocchan! It’s breakfast time soon, so the butler says to bring the young master… .”

The new maid, who came into my room without permission from the room owner and was tidying up my clothes, greeted me calmly as soon as she saw my face.

“Kyaaa! Do, young master?!”

As soon as she saw me, who had just come out of the shower, she screamed like a girl.

… Come to think of it, around this time, Line started working as a housekeeper.

“Are you the new maid?”

“Oh, yes, yes!”

“Next time, don’t come inside until you’ve been given permission from inside the room. Especially in the male master’s room.”

Even if they were of the same gender, they would have been taught that the basic thing to do when a servant enters the master’s room is to seek a doctor.

No matter how much I judged that I wasn’t there, it was an act that was out of common sense.

That’s why I couldn’t get a trainee maid ticket for seven years in my previous life.

“I’m sorry!”

“If you know, get out quickly. Tell the restaurant that you will be coming down soon.”

“Sir, excuse me!!”

I thought quietly as I watched Line hurriedly carrying out the laundry.

Will that child be able to get the probationary maid ticket this time?

After breakfast, we briefly took a walk around the yard of the mansion.

Although the time order has changed a bit due to fatigue. I couldn’t take a break from the exercise that I used to move my body every morning and evening.

I was going to train my stamina while running in the yard.

It’s been a long time since it’s already become my ‘routine’ to do physical training with Stella at the academy in the morning and evening.

These days, if I didn’t move my body even for a day, my body would ache the next day.

In his previous life, he would have spent more time training for magical power sensitivity or researching magic to raise his magic circle.

Now that I know how to increase my magic circle and pretty much all kinds of magic, I didn’t have to spend time on such things.

Of the things I was lacking right now, I only trained from what I most definitely needed.

Fortunately, several months of physical training and daily guild appearances seemed to have helped quite a bit.

My physical condition now is much more energetic than I was in my previous life.

If he maintains this condition, even after graduating from the academy and entering the demon slaughter party, he will not be pointed out by party members because of his stamina.

By the way, I advised the maid who was rude to me in the morning to leave it to Maria, the head maid, to train again.

In my previous life, I felt sorry for making mistakes at such a young age, so I forgot about the mistakes I made.

I don’t know if it’s because of that, but Rinne couldn’t get out of the apprentice maid’s seven years working at Perdalos Mansion.

Somewhat strong discipline would be essential even for her sake.

I couldn’t let him work for half a gold coin a month forever.

In the afternoon, while I was running, thinking about taking a quick look around the Perdalos estate run by my mother.

‘Hyun, hyung.’

My gaze moved naturally to the sound of a spear blade cutting the wind from one side of the yard.

I wondered if Delphina was training, so I shifted my attention to the direction where I heard the sound.

Surprisingly, the person who trains his body is not his sister, but his father.

“… … .”

Even though it was a familiar sight, a feeling of awkwardness passed through my head.

Soon, I was able to immediately realize what was the cause of the incongruity.

In a previous life, my father, as soon as my mother passed away, was immersed in sorrow and spent every day indulging in alcohol.

In the aftermath of that, he let go of the swordsmanship he had been with for the rest of his life and spent his days wasting away.

So, in a future where the mother’s life is intact, it is inevitable that the image of the father who still neglects to practice spearmanship feels awkward.

I stopped running for a moment and quietly watched my father brandishing a weapon.

Even though it seems simple, if you watch it carefully, you can automatically feel that it is enough to rise from a commoner to a noble with just one spear skill.

Mother’s magic was also great, but father’s spearmanship had more authenticity than it seemed.

If you collect all the spearmanship formulas established by Dmitri Perdalos, you’ll be able to get a book’s worth.

I waited for my father to stop the movement of the genitals leaking out even with a small swing.

I said morning greetings in time for taking a break.

“Are you practicing, father?”

“yes. If you stay still, your body will rot.”

As soon as the very brief conversation between the father and son was over, the father, wordlessly, again began brandishing his spear in the air.

A conversation between father and son is usually something like this.

The word ‘father-son relationship’ was another expression for ‘a relationship that becomes awkward when the two of them talk alone’.

I don’t know if it’s with other family or alcohol. It would be normal to have a conversation like this when there is nothing.

Even with such a seemingly dry conversation, sincerity was communicated.

As I watched my father repeat swinging and stabbing himself in the air, a good idea suddenly popped into my head.

I called my father, who was continuing his training right away, once again.

“father.”

“yes.”

“Can’t you have a sparring with me just once?”

My father stopped swinging the spear and moved his gaze toward me.

Then, ‘Is this the Conrad I know?’ He looked at me with the same eyes.

“It’s not Delphina, what’s the matter, you.”

“I want to know how much I have grown.

And other than when I was very young, I haven’t shown my skills once since.”

Hearing my will, the corner of my father’s mouth went up for an instant, but then he euphemistically expressed his refusal.

“Do you know what the confrontation between a spearman and a wizard means? Even your mother has never beaten me in a proper one-on-one match.”

“Then if I beat my father today, I must be stronger than my mother.”

“Delphina said in your letter that you were only boasting, but I don’t think you were completely wrong.”

My father stepped out into the wide area of the yard and pointed the window to the other side and said,

“200 meters. Stand apart.”

The distance was enough to give the wizard a little more advantage in battles with wizards and melee classes.

Also, it was a story that my father officially accepted sparring with me.

“Thank you, Father.”

I walked to where my father’s spear was pointing and held the broadsword hidden inside my cloak in reverse.

In my previous life, I had never had a chance to do a proper sparring, so my heart was pounding a little for my first experience.

In particular, even after returning to the past, you would not have known the existence of my favorite sword, which I had already swung hundreds of times and had become completely accustomed to.

It occurred to me that if I could use an unexpected variable just once, I could beat the war hero Dmitry Perdalos.

“How far did you open the magic circle?”

“I opened up to the 4th circle.”

“… Aren’t you lying?”

“If you don’t believe it, you can see for yourself.”

“… ok, got it Don’t give up.”

“thank you.”

I gratefully accepted my father’s last consideration and began memorizing the most powerful magic among the 4 levels of magic I could use.

I had to tie Dmitri Perdalos tight enough that there was no blind spot at all.

I added two magics to the first magic, and memorized a total of three middle-level magics at the same time.

No matter how strong the human being is, if one of the three gets hit properly, he will definitely lose his mind.

… There was a time when I thought that way too.

“Good job, Conrad.”

“… Thank you for your hard work, Father.”

The point at which 30 minutes have passed since the start of the match.

I thought, staring into the air as I lay my completely battered body in the yard.

No matter how 20 years have passed since retirement, the title of war hero is not for everyone.
