Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Practical (2)

86

Years passed and Ray turned 14.

However, winter was not over yet and the weather was quite chilly.

It was fortunate for the permanent residents that the area had enough wood to use as firewood.

Ray continued to hear from the Earl of Phillips about the prince.

Recently, I heard that the 1st Prince was ousted from the Crown Prince and the 2nd Prince was taking power.

The second prince said that he had a cold and cruel personality, and there were a lot of forces who were worried that a bloody wind might blow at him.

‘Well, your aunt says it’s okay…’

It is said that the Alstein family had a lot of fun after hearing about the last raid from the imperial family.

Even if the 2nd Prince becomes Crown Prince, the imperial family’s mistakes do not change.

If only the Alstein family remained, the imperial family could tear it apart more.

Meanwhile, Seria’s prestige was soaring high in the sky.

Rumors spread that he had won against two Royal Guards at the same time, and many people believed it to be true.

‘Even if there is a mixture of exaggerations, there is nothing wrong with getting a higher reputation…’

You have to be a little careful with your behavior, though.

Rey raised the spoon, remembering the last time Seria had seen.

it’s late morning Steam was rising from the meal Bella had prepared.

“I will enjoy this food.”

After Ray greeted him as usual, he smashed the egg with a fork.

Bella, who was sitting opposite her, looked at Rey and said in a calm voice.

“Mom is going to retire next month.”

“okay?”

Ray was happy inside, but he didn’t show his emotions outwardly.

“What are you going to do when you retire?”

“Well.”

Bella sighed.

It was not difficult to make a living with just the money I had saved.

There was almost no money going to Ray.

However, growing old and waiting for death in every corner of the house was not a happy thing for a human being.

Bella looked for various pastimes, but nothing really touched her heart.

“I want to raise a child…”

“Are you raising me now?”

Rey pointed at her with a puzzled face.

Bella burst out laughing.

“Raising a son is not so much fun.”

Even if you leave it alone, it flies well on its own, so from the standpoint of a parent watching, the taste of raising and teaching was diminished.

Ray smiled face to face, hiding her complicated emotions.

Knowing what Bella’s original aspirations were, she couldn’t shake her guilt.

Bella looked at her son happily, not knowing Rey’s inner feelings.

While there was talk about volunteering at the nursery school, a knock sounded.

smart!

Rey stood up first and opened the locked door.

Jenkinson stood at the door with a stiff face.

“Oh, Master. What are you up to here?”

Hearing Rey’s words, Bella hurriedly approached her and lowered her knees.

“Hello, Sir Jenkinson.”

“Hello.”

Jenkinson responded to Bella’s greeting with an example in his own way.

Considering the difference in status, it was a bit far-fetched, but since Bella was Rey’s mother-in-law, she couldn’t be rude.

Bella said hello and left her seat without notice.

Ray shrugged at Jenkinson.

“So, what’s going on?”

“Johana…”

“Did you have an accident?”

“I succeeded in demonstrating the sword for the first time.”

“…?”

Rey hardened her face instead of laughing playfully.

*

From the morning, Yeongjuseong was quite noisy.

Yohana showed off her sword during Jenkinson’s class, and Jenkinson immediately took Johanna to the lord’s castle.

Upon hearing the news, the knights, who had free time, all flocked to the Youngjuseong Fortress.

The count took Johana to the courtyard of the lord’s castle and had him demonstrate swordsmanship while watching the knight and Alesia.

After concentration, Yohana succeeded in demonstrating swordsmanship again.

Everyone couldn’t help but marvel.

Johanna smiled brightly, receiving the attention of the people, when she noticed Ray and Jenkinson approaching from afar.

“That… I’ll try one more time.”

Yohana closed her eyes and began to concentrate.

The compressed mana flows through the sword and shines brighter and brighter.

Soon, the flash of mana that became a flash of light generated a strong anticipation.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was an obvious swordsmanship.

Johanna, who picked her breath, swung her sword horizontally.

Kwaang!!

The fired sword struck a wooden target that was about 10 m away.

Although he could not even completely destroy the wooden target due to his clumsy swordsmanship, it was an incredible achievement considering that Yohana is now 14 years old.

Jenkinson couldn’t hide his confusion and asked Ray.

“What the hell did you feed your kids and raise them up, so these guys keep coming out?”

“…Iknow, right?”

Ray was starting to get confused.

Perhaps the power granted by the Transcendental was not the Orphan Gacha Rate Up?

It was around this time that the dog began to be seriously concerned.

murmured Jenkinson.

“Isn’t that kid learning the sword early?”

As Jenkinson said, the knights recognized Johanna’s talent and gave her full support for about five years at most.

Being an expert at the age of 14 is also a great achievement, and if I had taught systematically from a younger age, the time to become an expert would have been faster.

‘If I was really lucky… I might have become an expert at the same age as Harcia.’

Of course, that doesn’t mean that Johana has a talent comparable to Harsia.

Harsia pioneered the status of an expert in a much worse situation than Johana.

Harsia, a descendant of the emperor, must have enjoyed an incomparable luxury to Johana in terms of food, clothing, and shelter, but he was the bastard.

He had many eyes to see, so let alone learning swordsmanship, it meant that he was in a position where it was difficult to even hold a sword without the emperor’s permission.

Nevertheless, he rose to the status of an expert at the youngest age in history.

‘Well, anyway…’

There was no doubt that Johanna was born with a really great talent.

Yohana looked into Rey’s eyes while receiving everyone’s praise.

He couldn’t be the first to say goodbye, and it looked like he was waiting for Ray to come quickly and praise him.

The moment Rei was about to approach Johana.

Alessia caught Rey.

“Um, my knight.”

Alesia has recently succeeded in controlling her weight and has gained confidence, but somehow her voice is now deafening.

Alessia continued to speak after contemplating.

“Even if you take a concubine, I’ll make you close your eyes to up to three people…”

Ray burst out laughing.

Alessia grumbled, lowering the corners of her lips.

“Everyone is doing too much..!”

I don’t know why I’m so good-looking on a lowly subject.

Luna made a contract with a spirit the size of a house and took her with her, Johana reached the level of an expert at 14, and Karen’s clothes were scruffy and her beauty shone beautifully.

For Alesia, it was a job to catch the back of the neck.

“My knight.”

Alessia tapped Rey’s head, which was slightly higher than it had been a few months ago.

“I’m generous, so don’t forgive me for buying expensive jewelry for my concubine with the money I gave you.”

Ray responded by holding back his laughter as much as possible.

“If you’re using your heart, how about increasing it to six?”

“Are you going to take six concubines…?!”

“It was my dream to meet a different woman every day of the week.”

“My knight is a pervert…!”

Even if she died soon, ‘My Knight’ was Alesia who could not throw it away.

Ray giggled and waved his hand.

“I’m joking, lady. Anyway, be friendly with the kids. Maybe one day you’ll get some help.”

“Being friendly with your concubines, my knights are cruel…”

“Stop talking about concubines.”

Rei quickly approached Johanna and stroked her hair before she spouted.

Yohana tickled me not to touch my body, but Rey’s hand didn’t come off.

The next day, Johanna was admitted as Didier’s servant.

Having reached the status of an expert, it was necessary to make sure that he belonged.

Didier couldn’t hide her proud expression when she saw Johanna, who was brought in as a servant.

Jenkinson sighed heavily.

“That guy’s got a seed blessing.”

Where else can you find a talented, cute, and diligent servant like Yohana?

Jenkinson turned to his servant who was standing right next to him.

‘I’ll take care of it.’

I felt a sense of self-doubt, wondering if I was carrying this with me as a seed.

Meanwhile, Ray also clicked his tongue as he watched Didier slap Johana’s cheek lightly.

We’ll be seeing each other for a long time anyway. How nice would it be to end the contract in such a warm way?

However, his master showed the cruelty and silliness of bringing even rough-tanned gloves.

‘Anyway, it’s narrow inside.’

Jenkinson and Ray looked at each other and cursed in their eyes.

So it’s not long after Yohana becomes a squire.

I heard the news that Luna has become a 2nd circle.

It wasn’t that Luna reached the second circle at an incredibly fast pace.

Among the geniuses revered as future archmage, there were some who reached the second circle within two months of starting circle training in earnest.

However, Luna’s circle was no ordinary circle.

Only Luna and Lopilen knew this clearly.

Of course, Rey and the Countess Knights also knew that Luna could use magic much more powerful than the number of circles.

Rey shared one of the coordinates of the backdoor of the Lycilote Records as a reward for faithfully carrying out the magic class to Lopilen.

Lopilen groaned and slammed her forehead into the ground over and over again at Rey.

While Lopilen applied for a week’s leave to see the Lisilote Records, she was locked up in her closet.

Rey patted Luna’s hair and fell into anguish.

‘I want to see Luna use her magic properly…’

Even when she was in Circle 1, who didn’t even learn magic properly, Luna burned the forest with ‘ignition’ magic.

I wanted to check how much firepower has risen now, and whether I have learned enough countermeasures in a face-to-face battle.

“Luna.”

“…?”

“Would you like to think of me as an enemy and attack you with magic?”

Luna immediately shook her head.

“…I can’t do that.”

Rey, who was frozen for a moment in a knife-like rejection, pointed to Jenkinson who was next to him.

“Then can Sir Jenkinson attack?”

“…I can do that.”

“Then, would you like to unleash the magic that you are most confident in Sir Jenkinson with all your might?”

Hearing the story, Jenkinson was startled.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“No… Luna needs to develop her combat skills now. Can’t I have a duel opponent?”

“I refuse. Find another opponent.”

“Master, are you scared?”

Jenkinson grabbed the back of his neck and sharpened his teeth.

“Is he an ordinary 2nd circle? If I deal with him while looking at him, my neck will fly away.”

I don’t know if it’s possible to surprise Luna and slash her head with a single knife.

Jenkinson was not confident enough to put up with Luna’s firepower.

Rey smiled and waved her hand at Jenkinson’s refusal.

“Ah. Don’t worry, Master. I won’t die, I won’t.”

“Are you sure?”

“Ah, I’m sure.”

“Are you really sure?”

“Would you like to take an M-chang?”

“Such an idiot.”

In the end, it was said that he could not be sure that Jenkinson would be safe.

Enraged, Jenkinson drew his sword and swung it at Rey.

After about 5 minutes of duel, Ray subdued Jenkinson and asked bluntly.

“Then, Master, why don’t we go deeper into this winter training?”

“If you go deeper…”

“If it’s long, it takes about ten days to proceed.”

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Next to the Count of Phillips lies the Signy Mountains.

Regardless of the season, it was a very suitable place for training.

Of course, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes, so the knights usually did not leave the outskirts of the mountain range while conducting joint training with the children of the nursery.

“But now the kids’ heads are a little bigger, wouldn’t it be okay to go deeper?”

“You’re not wrong, but it can be very dangerous.”

The monsters were also monsters, and the possibility of encountering the rangers of the Rubyha Kingdom that existed beyond the Signi Mountains existed, even if it was very small.

Of course, there was no reason to oppose the rangers of the Rubyha Kingdom, but they could fall into the monster dragon trap they had set up and get injured.

Rey looked at Luna a few meters away and whispered low in Jenkinson’s ear.

“I’ll follow you too. Without the kids.”

“Okay.”

One way or another, Rey was a reliable power.

They also had to take some risks to develop their skills.

Jenkinson nodded his head for a moment.

“Let’s discuss it with the other knights .”
