Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 40

A week has passed since Julius left the estate.

Allen behaved as usual, as if nothing had happened after he had made his way to the royal road.

In the morning, he learns swords from Bestla, and in the morning he practices an instrument as a hobby.

In the afternoon, he is educated on the knowledge he needs to learn as a heir to the family, and studies magic in a small workshop in the mansion.

In the middle, he has tea time with his mother, and checks the progress of what he had secretly done to Inelia.

Allen’s daily life was faithful, and no one saw anything strange.

Even Gaiel, who had been watching him quietly, lost interest as Allen did not move for a week.

The morning of the eighth day started like that.

“You seem to be meticulous in everything, but surprisingly, the basics are weak. That’s probably because he never learned the sword properly.”

Now was the time to learn swordsmanship from Bestla.

“I don’t think that’s bad. I think it turned out better.”

When he questioned it, Bestla spoke as simply as teaching the basics.

“The main premise of swordsmanship is ‘to attack without being hit’.”

She and Allen were located in a training ground used exclusively for direct use.

“Isn’t it shorter than a black spear? If we were to wield an attack from a distance, it is natural that we would be at an absolute disadvantage.”

As Allen listened intently to her words, Bestla took an active role in his leadership.

“That’s why we have no choice but to avoid and attack within the range of the sword. However… .”

She immediately denied the premise mentioned.

“It’s not ‘we’.”

Shh! The blade of Bestla’s blade brushed against Allen’s skin thinly.

“Why do you avoid swords? Because, of course, you get injured. Because my skin is cut on me. But what about us?”

The blood peaks that had bloomed on Allen’s skin disappeared in an instant as if nothing had happened.

“Look. It plays fast, and ordinary cutlery doesn’t work either. If it wasn’t for you, you wouldn’t even be hurt, would you?”

Allen couldn’t help but agree with that statement.

I haven’t had a single scratch since my body changed.

“It doesn’t matter what kind of attack you get.”

Bestla said to Allen as if presumptuously.

“Then you don’t have to worry so much about technique.”

“… But isn’t technique important?”

Allen recalled the fact that the knights of the family were fighting, and asked as if he did not understand. But she snorted and objected.

“Can you shed an ogre’s fist?”

“If you learn swordsmanship, someday… .”

“In that case, wouldn’t it be better to avoid the fist and aim for the gap?”

“If I have a body like yours, can I just hit and counterattack?”

Allen was speechless.

Bestla explained step by step as if teaching a child.

“Allen, virtuosity works only with opponents with similar powers. It’s all useless in the face of overwhelming power, right?”

Bestla increased the size of the sword to show Allen on purpose.

As the gigantic sword was swung, I felt a sense of pressure as if a pillar was flying. Its size had grown so large that it obscured the entire field of vision, so any technique seemed useless.

“Even between humans, power is divided, and each race has different powers. If you were a normal knight, would you break an ogre’s arm first?”

Bestla stopped the attack and returned the sample to a small size.

「If all living things had the same physical condition, then swordsmanship could have developed based on technology… , isn’t it?”

Allen nodded blankly. After a few laps around Allen’s body, she came back in front of him.

“So, one thing you should think about is ‘power’.”

“strength… .”

Allen repeated those words over and over again.

The swordsmanship he began to learn from Bestla was different from what he had vaguely imagined.

It was simpler and more concise.

“Your body is so excellent, there’s no need to dodge the attack. Ignoring all kinds of attacks, I can return a strong attack with the correct posture.”

Ignore minor injuries. because you can recover.

The same goes for attack. I don’t care if you can stand it.

‘A sword that crushes everything with one overwhelming force.’

“That is the sword of the giant you will learn from me.”

Allen was convinced as he learned the sword from her. She said it was good to bring Vestla.

‘If I had left it, I wouldn’t have been able to use this changed body properly.’

I learned the sword from her for a short time, but I could feel that she had a tremendous prowess with the sword.

As she listened to her explanation, Allen spit out the question that came to mind.

“then… , don’t you have any proper skills?”

There are hundreds of swordsmanship books floating around in the market.

Such things may not have any special characteristics, but the swordsmanship of the noble family was different.

“It’s a vision that lightning strikes from the sky with a single sharpening of a knife and can spit out some kind of sword, if not something like that.”

The vision of the noble family also created a gust of wind and set fire to it.

There are a lot of rains that are no less than magic, but isn’t there something like that in the swordsmanship of the giants?

At his question, Bestla sighed and opened her mouth.

“Actually, I want to teach you a proper vision, but… .”

She wiggled her tail as if hesitatingly, unable to overcome Allen’s continued staring at her, and continued.

“Do you remember? When I got out of the sewer.”

“sewer? Then… .”

As soon as I returned to the city, I remembered it because it was the day when I defeated a group of bandits from the underground waterway.

“I asked if I had time then.”

“It did.”

Even if I asked you what was going on, did you just ignore it?

“Actually, since then, I have been remodeling my vision for you to use. By the way… .”

“By the way?”

“It was very difficult. Because you are different from us in terms of body size. I’m sorry, but I think it will take more time to fix it so that it can be used properly.”

She said sorry, but Allen didn’t think much of it.

‘It’s enough just to make you realize how to use your body already.’

This ideal was her good intentions and was not forced.

‘Is it possible to revamp the original technology as needed?’

Even Allen, who does not know much about swordsmanship, can see how difficult and difficult what she does.

‘Is it true that I said that I was a creepy genius?’

No matter how genius she was, she didn’t think she would be able to fix it for Allen in a short time, less than a few days.

Even if that statement is true, it will not be resolved in a short time.

“Okay.”

So Allen didn’t rush her.

“Because there’s no rush anyway.”

There will be no battles until Julius returns from the royal capital.

‘Is he trying to save Young-ae, who is now running away?’

While on his way to the royal capital, he accidentally saves a young girl from a royal noble in a dangerous situation.

After that, he returns to the royal capital and intervenes in the succession problem of the aristocratic family, helping her to establish her as the heir.

‘After that, I fight the enemy who broke into the auction house, and I meet the princess who hid her identity while getting caught up in the black market strife… .’

So he had to wait at least one more month to return to the estate.

“I won’t rush you, so please feel free to ask.”

“Wow! It was hard to fix, but thank you!”

As she smiled broadly and thanked, Allen smiled faintly and picked up the training sword she had laid flat on the ground.

“Then, let’s start training.”

Then, a question that came to mind suddenly popped into my mouth.

“Oh, but what is the name of the vision I will learn?”

“The name of the vision is J?tunnsverd. It is a swordsmanship that consists of a total of nine secrets.”

In that way, Allen could learn a lot from Bestla.

In response to the opponent’s attack, he unconsciously took a pose, and he developed the courage to ignore attacks that touched his body. Even the radical attacks that were hesitant to act are now okay.

While I was moving my body like that, someone knocked on the door of the training ground.

“Confucius, the time has come.”

“already?”

After shouting loudly to come in, Enelia came to Allen with plausible steps now.

“thank you for your effort. Confucius.”

Allen was handed the canteen she handed to her, and with a familiar expression she took her hand to wipe her face and neck.

Bestla returned to Allen’s hand from the moment she knocked on the door, and was silent.

“What is Linbell doing?”

Enelia answered, trying to erase her dark expression.

“… Since returning, I have been working hard on my training. As soon as Confucius calls… .”

Allen shook his head.

“No, it’s fine.”

It was Allen who gave her free time. She was able to finish her judgment quickly on Mount Nicaea, because she checked her training achievements.

‘Swordsmanship is rising steeply.’

A state in which Allen could be defeated if only fighting purely with swordsmanship.

So Allen decided that it was better for her to grow up than to follow him.

‘… The first murder seemed shocking.’

You’ll get over that soon enough.

Aside from the way she is now, the image of her past life is strongly engraved in Allen’s mind, so he trusted him more than she did.

So I didn’t worry about her.

Because I didn’t think she would break down that much.

Allen was worried about something else.

‘Will Linbell be able to realize prana in this life too, but… .’

Prana is a special power.

A noble power that is rarer than magic, and those with prana are praised as true knights.

‘I’ll have to wait and see until I go to the academy.’

I’d like to wait until she realizes prana on her own, but if there’s no progress by the time he has to leave, I have to let her use magic.

Because Allen’s growth was essential to achieve what he was aiming for at the academy.

‘I’m preparing a number of ways, but… .’

The best way to see her getting stronger was through painting.

“Rinbell will get over it on his own, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“… Would it be? Confucius only sits once… No, no. It was off topic. sorry.”

Allen opened her mouth to encourage her overly concerned.

“It will be fine. Linbell does not collapse at that level. still… If you’re worried, check it out.”

“… If that’s the case, would you mind if I ask you?”

“okay. It is natural for parents to worry about their children. by the way… .”

Allen encouraged her, who was deeply concerned about her daughter, and widened her heart’s senses.

‘Okay, there’s nobody there.’

Upon confirming that there were no people around the training ground, Allen leaned down and opened his mouth.

“How did that happen?”

Inelia wiped the smile from her lips at Allen’s question, then quietly approached her and whispered in her ear.

“The investigation of the ‘goal’ you mentioned is over.”

Allen asked with a cautious face at those words.

“How big are these guys? What is he doing now and where is he?”

Inelaa did not know why Confucius wanted to see him. But it is natural for her maid to obey her master.

She did the job perfectly without question.

“On the surface, it was just a collection of the city’s bastards… , not behind. More details can be found in the report.”

She handed him finely dried parchment.

“Also, he’s been in the same bar for several days, so if you leave now, we’ll see you in three days.”

‘Have you not prepared properly yet?’ It’s the right time.

“Shall we prepare the carriage?”

Allen remembered a person he would meet in the future and answered immediately.

“Get ready right now.”

The one who will spearhead Julius’ revenge.

One of many who opposed him in a previous life, and spokesman for the Avengers.

A man who loses everything and dreams of revenge again.

‘Arcanthus Fern.’

Time to meet him.
