Episode 013. The good times are gone

“It seems that this is enough for physical training.”

The first week after training begins. Gardi said, looking Aaron up and down.

Stone-hard muscles were attached to the limbs that seemed likely to break with a blow, and the narrow shoulders were wide open, exuding the energy of a warrior.

It was such a big change that I couldn’t believe that I had only been practicing for a week.

Gardi was surprised to see Aaron change every morning when he came out to the gym.

“That means… … Does that mean I can hold the sword now?”

At Gardi’s words, Aaron asked with a face mixed with anticipation.

“yes. From today, I will teach you swordsmanship. take it.”

Gardi grinned and handed the wooden sword he had hidden behind his back.

Aaron looked at it with an excited expression, like a child who received a long-awaited toy.

“How are you? Are you willing to listen?”

“It’s heavier than I thought.”

“It is a wooden sword used by knights. It is heavier than a normal wooden sword.”

What Aaron received was a wooden sword for actual combat training with an iron core embedded in the blade.

Although it is for training purposes, the weight is like a real sword, so if you wield it recklessly, you could get hurt.

“Originally, I was going to start with a wooden sword for beginners, but I thought it would suit you.”

“is that so? It’s definitely better to use this rather than a normal wooden sword.”

Aaron took a few steps back and started swinging his wooden sword.

Cuts diagonally twice, steps back, and stabs while moving forward. Then lower your stance, turn around, and finish with a horizontal cut.

Contrary to the word “heavy”, his movements were neat and unnecessarily.

It was like seeing an apprentice knight who had completed basic training.

‘It’s okay too. I don’t have to train to lose my sh*t.’

Aaron muttered to himself.

As expected, the body reacted first without having to train separately when the technique was acquired through the book.

The moment I made up my mind to swing the sword, my body moved on its own and performed the action.

‘In this way, not only swords but also spears and bows would be possible.’

Even when I dealt with Drake before, as soon as I grabbed the spear, the spearman’s knowledge was activated and I was able to hit the reverse.

Although that knowledge disappeared as soon as the spear was placed, it could be used as permanent knowledge if one reads something like a spearmanship manual.

“Where did you learn that?”

At the end of Aaron’s thoughts, Gardi, who had been watching his movements as if possessed, asked with his mouth open.

Aaron hung down his wooden sword and scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“I tried copying what I saw in the swordsmanship manual, but it’s still clumsy, isn’t it? hahahaha. This has become like crouching in front of slugs.”

“You copied what you saw in the textbook? Didn’t you practice separately?”

“yes. I didn’t have a chance to hold a sword like this, so I thought about it a few times in my head.”

“hahahaha… … .”

Gardi laughed involuntarily.

What Aaron showed me just now is one of the herbivores in the Beginner’s Guide to Empire Swordsmanship.

It takes months to simply train slashing or piercing, but the first person holding a sword showed such perfect movements.

I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it myself.

‘It seems certain that you have received Oberyn’s blessing. A monster was born in Oddhaken.’

“Sir Gardy? Could it be that I did something too risky?”

As Gardi stood there silently, Aaron asked with a worried face.

He seemed worried that he had offended his master with his hasty actions.

Gardi suddenly came to his senses and shook his head.

“no. I was surprised at how well you did it.”

“I am… … Did you do well?”

Aaron asked with a worried expression.

It seemed that he had no idea how great the move he had just shown was.

Gardi saw this and smiled.

“Could you show me some other moves you saw in the textbook?”

the next morning.

As soon as Gardi woke up, he went to the baron’s office.

“Yes, Knight Commander. What are you doing early in the morning? Is there something urgent?”

“If it is urgent, it is urgent. It’s about the young master.”

“Aaron? Why Aaron?”

The baron, who had been working leisurely with a sleepy face, widened his eyes.

Hearing that Aaron had an urgent matter, he fell asleep.

“hahahaha. It’s not a bad thing, so don’t look at it that way.”

“Hmm. What are my eyes saying? So, what is that urgent thing?”

The baron cleared his throat when he saw Gardi laughing.

Gardi continued.

“I think I can teach you Odd Haken’s swordsmanship.”

“what? Didn’t you say you started taking swordsmanship lessons yesterday?”

“yes. It was.”

“But you’re already teaching the family swordsmanship? Haven’t the foundations been laid yet?”

“Three days are enough to lay the foundation. No, maybe it has already been hardened.”

“What are you talking about again?”

The baron frowned.

I couldn’t understand what this big knight was talking about.

“Bocchan understands what he has seen once and embodies it the same way. Not only what I saw in the book, but also what I demonstrated.”

Gardi explained in detail the moves Aaron performed at the gymnasium yesterday.

“Heh heh, I’m not surprised anymore.”

The baron didn’t even ask if Gardi’s words were true.

This is because the abilities and behaviors that Aaron showed from the first meeting were far beyond common sense.

Now I thought I would believe him even if he spewed fire from his mouth.

“Gardi. Give him wings so he can fly. Let’s see how far it flies together.”

The baron said with a serious face without a smile.

Since ancient times, those who have received the blessing of heroes have accomplished great things that will leave their names in the world.

All Oddhaken had to do was give Aaron wings so he could go out into the world.

“I will follow your orders.”

As if he knew that would happen, Gardi proudly saluted and left the office.

smart-

Not long after Gardi left, someone knocked on the office door again.

“Gardi? Anything left to say?”

The baron, about to begin his duties, put down his quill and raised his head.

“master. This is the butler. May I come in?”

“It was Derek. come in.”

After permission was given, Derek opened the door and came inside.

“Today there are many customers since morning. What are you doing?”

The baron, who had been in a good mood from the conversation about Aaron a while ago, trembled and asked.

But Derek didn’t seem to be able to afford to accept his generosity.

After closing the door with a stiff face, he paused for a moment before speaking quietly.

“The madam will be arriving soon. With Master Zeke.”

“You seem to have been born to wield a sword.”

late afternoon. Mansion dance hall.

Gardi, who was teaching Aaron, stuck out his tongue and said.

Aron passed the basic swordsmanship and beginner swordsmanship just one day after holding the sword, and was now learning the family’s swordsmanship.

‘It would be much faster if I learned this from a book.’

Aaron muttered to himself, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Odd Haken’s swordsmanship manual was owned by the baron, the head of the household.

It would be much faster if I took classes after watching that, but the baron didn’t allow it.

From noble mtl dot com

Its purpose was to learn and awaken directly with the body without preparation.

‘Should I just use a swarm to ask for it.’

Learning from Gardi was efficient enough, but Aaron didn’t want to roll his body for nothing.

“Today’s training ends here.”

The training, which started early in the morning, ended late in the evening.

Aaron dropped the wooden sword he had wielded all day and looked around.

The knights who finished their schedule first were watching him from afar.

“What the captain said was true.”

“Still, isn’t it a bit like catching a drake?”

“Isn’t that what the lord said? You don’t believe what the lord says?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Maybe if you’ve been blessed by Lord Oberyn.”

After Gardi’s full-scale classes began, the eyes of the knights at the gymnasium were all focused on Aaron.

When he first came to the mansion, the baron gave Aaron a lift by explaining his fight with Drake.

At first, I thought he was simply saying this to help Aaron stand up, but when I saw him training himself, I realized that it wasn’t just a lie.

If I had just heard the story, I wouldn’t have believed it, but since I watched the whole process, I can’t help but be surprised.

Multi-faceted multi-

I was about to pack up my training tools and go in when I heard the sound of horses hooves outside the mansion.

“What are you doing! Come on, open the door!”

“Yes, yes!”

When the clatter of hooves stopped, someone’s shouts of displeasure fell.

The guards standing at the gate hurriedly unlocked the door and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, a knight with a shield pattern engraved on his breastplate and a chariot decorated in gold entered.

“Who are you?”

“… … It looks like your wife has returned. The leading knight is the count’s knight.”

Gardi answered Aaron’s question with a hard face.

“A Count? You mean your aunt’s mother?”

“yes.”

That shield pattern is the symbol of Oddhaken’s maternal family, the Arnin family.

Seeing as he had no acquaintance with him, he seemed to be a recently appointed knight.

‘The good times are gone. Tsk.’

Gardi clicked his tongue and muttered.

Seeing that the count’s knights were in the lead and they were accompanied by that large wagon, it seemed that they had come with a very strong aspiration.

“Madam, Bocchan. Are you here?”

When the carriage stopped, Gardi approached and greeted him.

After being escorted by a knight, Zenith got off the carriage and opened her fan with a distorted face.

“I came to cool my head for a while, but as soon as I came back, I saw something dirty.”

“The dust stings my eyes. It smells like sweat too.”

Odd Haken’s son, Zeke, helped her.

Zeke, who turns 15 this year, has no independence unlike Aaron, and has a strong tendency to rely on his mother, Janice.

It was for this reason that he went to his mother’s house despite his father Kane’s objections.

“It is because the training of the knights has just finished. Please understand.”

Gardi lowered his head with a stiff face.

“Do you think your mother just saw the articles and talked about them? Are you calling my mother a rude person?”

Zeke frowned as if he didn’t like Gardi’s answer.

Gardi clenched his fists and shook his head.

“no. young master.”

No matter how much he was a vassal of his family, it wasn’t pleasant to hear criticism in front of his subordinates.

Of course, Zeke didn’t care how Gardi felt.

He pointed with his chin somewhere in the parade ground.

“My mother said it when she saw that lowly fellow over there.”

“… … Are you talking about Master Aaron?”

“Oh, did you become a young master? I thought I was the only Bocchan in this Odd Haken. What a strange thing.”

“It’s the Lord’s decision.”

Gardi turned to Aaron and said.

He must not have known that Aaron was listed in the genealogy.

That was a very intentional remark.

‘Hmm, I said Zeke.’

Aaron watched the front door pretending to wipe away his sweat with a towel.

When I saw Zeke, a sense of deja vu kicked in, and information about him flooded into my head.

Compared to his father Kane, Zeke lacked the qualifications as a monarch.

He sits in the head of the household after Kane resigns, but coolly destroys the family that his father created with difficulty.

It was because he was greatly influenced by his mother, Janice, and had a quick-tempered and child-like temperament.

[11]

‘The level is quite high.’

Apart from his twisted personality, his level is on the high side.

He said he went to his mother’s family for training, but it didn’t seem like he had just come to play.

‘First of all, I’ll have to fix that guy’s quirk.’

After thinking, Aaron walked towards it with a towel wiping his sweat on his neck.

“Hello, Grandmother. nice to see you. My name is Aaron.”
