chapter 25
“It’s not just the buildings. People’s clothes, status, and appearance are incomparable. Because this is the center of the kingdom.”
“That’s right. Everyone here seems to be pretty.”
Giranox sighed when he saw his shabby attire and the nobleman in a gentlemanly suit on the other side.
“If you’re that envious, buy clothes with the money I gave you.”
“Ah, what am I…”
We visited the royal road and headed to the Royal Knights Academy. The area is well defined and there are signposts, so there was no difficulty in finding it.
“Here it is. The Royal Knights School. It’s even more brutal here.”
“It’s like some kind of university.”
“yes?”
“no.”
The knights academy towered over other types of buildings like universities. It seems that they are taking classes elsewhere depending on the curriculum.
I didn’t decide on the curriculum or buildings, but it was amazing that those settings worked on their own.
“welcome.”
When I entered the largest building in front of me, the guide greeted me.
“What are you here for?”
“I’m here to request a visit.”
“Could you tell me your name and the name of the student you are looking for?”
“I’m Uren Rox, you’re looking for my brother Colin Rox.”
“ah!”
When the guide heard my name, he exclaimed.
“You’re Yuren Rocks, the one who caught the Orc fighter!”
Rumors have already spread here?
“Uren Rocks?”
As the receptionist was talking, someone called my name from behind. There stood a man with waist-deep silver hair and shining silver eyes. There is only one family in this kingdom with such striking looks.
“Duke of Elion…”
knight school
Since the northern part of the Kingdom of Cransis is haunted by large and powerful monsters, the title of the strongest was attached to the Duke of Elion who guarded it.
The characteristic of the Duke of Elion is that they are the only ones in the kingdom to have brilliant silver hair and silver eyes, and now a man with that characteristic was smiling brightly in front of me.
“Are you Yuren Rocks?”
“Yes, but.”
“hahahahaha, there’s nothing to be so wary of.”
He approached me with an unusual, aristocratic gait.
“My name is Carrick Elyon, and I am a student here.”
After all, he was Caric Elion, the second son of the Duke of Elion.
“Looks like you’re looking for Colin.”
“you’re right.”
“I’m Colin’s friend and classmate, so I know where he is. Can you guide me?”
Not a good feeling. I was reluctant to start with the atmosphere that this guy gave off, but I just nodded my head because it was ambiguous to refuse.
“Then please.”
“hahahaha, my friend’s older brother is my older brother. Come this way. I will guide you to the school on the way.”
Karik smiled and opened the door on the right. Then he smiled and held the door, as if telling him to come.
“Giranox is waiting for you here. I’ll be back soon.”
“Yes. Please go.”
Seeing Giranox smile and sit down on a chair in the lobby, he followed Karik.
“Do you know about this place?”
“No. I don’t know.”
“Since I’m bored on the way, can I explain? Status doesn’t work here. Status and rank are useless. The only thing that works is skill.”
“Is that so.”
“Yes. And Colin belongs to the highest class like me, the Master Class. The Master Class is a place where only the elite gather to nurture talents who will become masters in the future.”
He told me about the knight school, so I just sat down and boasted. First impressions don’t go anywhere. A guy I don’t like
“That’s really great.”
It was annoying, so I just adjusted the rhythm.
“Come to think of it, I’ve heard rumors.”
“A rumor?”
“Yes. Is it true that Yuren-sama and Ilia Markus-sama captured the Orc fighter?”
“Has that already spread to the royal capital?”
“Because Yuren-sama and Ilia-sama are both famous. Besides, Orc fighters aren’t ordinary monsters. It’s only natural that rumors spread like wind. Judging from what you’re saying, the rumors seem to be true.”
“Yes. It’s true.”
It’s not like I’m going to hide it now, so I told you honestly. When he said it was true, Karik’s smile grew a little thicker.
“You’re amazing. Did you really learn magic?”
“I can’t go into detail, but I’m not a wizard.”
“hahahaha, that’s right. I’m so curious. Ah, the conversation with Mr. Yuren was so interesting that I almost overlooked it. Here it is. Colin will be here.”
Carrick used the expression, as if he knew something about me.
“Come in.”
Karik opened the door to what looked like a gym and went inside.
Kwak!
Kyakyong!
bang!
Kwakwang!
Inside the gymnasium, the sound of swords colliding and something breaking were constantly being heard.
“Carrick!”
“Karick-nim. You’re back soon.”
“Let’s train together, Karik-nim.”
As soon as Karik entered, three female knights rushed in front of him.
“hahahaha, where’s Colin later?”
“Yes? Didn’t Karik take you to the professor earlier?”
“Oh, looks like he hasn’t come back yet.”
This child…
I don’t know what Gee’s thinking about taking Colin and bringing me to the gym. Do you want to make a fuss?
“Oh, sorry. I thought you were back, but you haven’t come yet.”
Karik was scratching the back of his head as if he was sorry, but his expression was not apologetic at all.
“Carrick, who is this?”
“Ah, this is Colin’s older brother, Mr. Urren Rox. You captured an orc fighter with Ilia Marcus not too long ago.”
“wow!”
“Come to think of it, you resemble Colin-sama.”
“You’re the one called the Wizard of Steel.”
“I’ve heard rumors! Mr. Yuren!”
Knights who were training here and there rushed in front of me.
what are these kids You obviously don’t like me, why are you here
“But Yuren-nim said he wasn’t a wizard.”
“Yes? Then…”
“As I expected, he’s someone who uses his body like we do.”
Karik was using the word ‘expectation’ as if he had even analyzed me on his own. He’s a guy I really don’t like.
“Then did you receive knight training?”
“I heard you threw a dagger?”
“I heard that it was an iron butterfly that ended the orc projection. What is that?”
“Now, stop, stop! Yuren-sama is uncomfortable. Stop it.”
The atmosphere here was controlled by Karik. no rank? That sounds funny. His skill was also skill, but the halo of being the Duke of Elion was moving people.
“Yuren-nim, since these friends are so curious, why don’t you show them your skills?”
I guess this was his main purpose.
Karik wanted to measure my strength. He might think the rumors are false because he doesn’t feel my strength.
Originally, pretending to catch a strong monster alone in the world of nobles was quite a popular method, so his suspicions were understandable.
“You want to show off your skills?”
I pretended not to know anything and asked a question.
“I want to ask Yuren-nim for sparring.”
Dalian, as expected.
“Dalian?”
“Yes. Yuren-sama is also from the Rocks family, so you must know. I heard that knights talk with their swords.”
“Yes. I heard.”
“Melai.”
“Yes. Karik-nim.”
Karik called a large knight who was watching from behind. The man called Mela was a tall young man who looked to be two meters tall.
“Because Melai is only an intermediate skill among us. Could you have a sword talk with this friend?”
“oh!”
“Is it a confrontation between Yuren and Melai!”
“What to expect!”
The wind catcher is very good. Carrick and the soldiers seemed like they would make a good living as swindlers in modern times.
“great.”
I accepted his offer as I thought it would be a good opportunity to figure out my physical abilities that had changed to heavenly intellect.
The sparring preparations were over soon, and the knights surrounded Melai and me in a circle.
“They say you’re using a dagger, but you’re holding a sword.”
“Yes. I will do this.”
I brought a training sword hanging on the wall and held it. I liked it because it was similar to the training sword I used to lose weight.
“Come, please.”
Melai was laughing as if he was going to attack with the same training sword as me.
I slowly walked up to him, filled my sword with energy, and struck it straight down.
Whoa!
I just hit the sword, but I heard the sound of an airplane landing at the airfield.
“Heh, with that…”
right!
“Ouch!”
Melai raised her sword above her head to block my sword, but was pushed back by my strength and hit the top of her head with her own sword.
“Kek.”
Melai, who was hit on the crown by his own sword, passed out with his tongue sticking out.
“ah…”
“uh…”
“eww…”
All the knights watching the scene fell silent. Karik didn’t know that this would happen, so he opened his mouth and didn’t say anything.
“hahahaha… I think Melai was too careless. This is really…”
After some time passed, Karik, who came to his senses, scratched the back of his head and stepped forward again.
“I’m sorry, but could you do it one more time?”
“I see.”
There was something interesting about the situation, so I nodded my head willingly.
“Lula.”
“yes.”
This time, a handsome man with a similar physique to mine came forward. The elongated limbs seemed to show flexible movements.
“Lula is in the upper-middle position, stronger than Melai.
“It’s disappointing that you’re comparing me to a muscle pig like that.”
“Yes. I’m sorry. Huhu.”
The people fell back again, leaving me and Lula in the middle.
“I’ll go.”
Lula gave me a kind warning and rushed at me. Whether it was true that he was stronger than Melai, his charge was quite agile.
Whoa!
I slashed my sword down like when I was stunning Melai, and Lula bent her knees and raised her sword while blooming.
right!
puck!
The moment the swords collided, Lula’s sword struck the master’s forehead, driven by the power contained in my sword, just like in Melai.
Like Melai, Lula fell backwards and couldn’t get up. He couldn’t even groan and passed out.
Even if Melaiya was caught off guard, even Lula suffered the same, and now the knights were thrown into confusion.
“Wait, what the heck…”
“Ummm…”
“Now, isn’t that a joke?”
Their pupils were shaking mercilessly at the first abnormal phenomenon.
“Does the fortress knight’s school raise only crappy people?”
I must have heard myself muttering, and I could feel the movement of people flinching.
“hahahahaha! It’s really embarrassing to say this the third time, but Yuren-nim seems to be less relaxed. How is it? This is really the last time. I’ll deal with you this time. You won’t be disappointed.”
Here’s what you’ve been waiting for you did well this child I’ll make it a black history that makes the blanket spurt while sleeping.
“great.”
“hahahaha, as expected, the grand duke of Roxga! That’s cool.”
Karik and I kept our distance and withdrew.
Shuuk!
Karik put on a serious expression and then rushed right in without saying a word. His movements were noticeably faster and more agile than the previous two.
I’m even writing this child’s aura.
He was aiming at me with a very thin aura. It was so skillful that the less skilled knights didn’t even know they were using the aura.
Shuaang!
Karik swung his sword horizontally. I didn’t block it, I evaded it with the small dragon’s treasure, and then slashed my sword at Karik.
Whoa!
Another bizarre sound came out when the sword was lowered. Karik saw it, twisted his sword slightly, and raised it.
Shedding the sword, Karik was performing an advanced technique to receive the opponent’s strong power with little force. but…
right!
thud!
“Kack!”
The Heavenly Muji took care of it and destroyed his sword shedding. In an unexpected attack, Karik was also struck by his own sword and fainted while making a shameful sound.
“What are you guys?”
I shook my head and opened my mouth at their pathetic.
The knights gathered around me are not people who like me. Karik encouraged me, so I matched the mood, but he must have hated me.
However, following Melai and Lula, even Carrick, the master class, was stunned with a single blow, so the knights were speechless and looked dumbfounded.
