The Academy’s Savage Swordsman

8. first practice

Reaching the level of an expert at the age of 15 was an achievement worthy of being praised as a genius by others.

In fact, out of more than dozens of Mayer family knights, less than 10, including my father, have reached the rank of expert, so to say that reaching the position of expert at the age of 15 is not enough, it is said that he is more than full and arrogant. I also listened to

‘Not enough.’

But it’s really lacking. I know the future of this world. A future where dogs, cows, masters, etc. appear, and countless master-level talents die.

Power inflation that appeared because it was a game. In order to respond to this, I had no choice but to at least rise to the level of Master.

‘But how?’

Bone-breaking training every day, sparring that makes muscles burst, and training that makes your soul run out.

The skills and physical training I’ve accumulated over the years have made me feel like it’s impossible to get any stronger.

“Look at your body. I would love it.”

After training for almost ten years, this body has become a perfect muscle that is not enviable.

It’s not just a muscular mass that only increased the back muscle, but the perfect combination of the back muscle and the back muscle. Just like the muscles in Greek statues, it was a perfect inverted triangle that made exclamations flow out of nowhere.

“I don’t gain much weight anymore. The swordsmanship is also sluggish… … I have no answer.”

But I was already feeling the limit.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Neither the body nor the technique could be trained any further.

Of course, steady effort always comes back as a reward, so if you continue to train your muscles and swordsmanship like this, you will be able to rise to the level of a master one day.

when does that mean

thirty years old? forty years old? If not, after becoming an old man dying of old age?

‘It’s too late.’

I don’t want magic ways to get stronger right now. However, there was a need for such a way to see plausible growth in at least a few years.

I looked down at my sword. A sword that reached the level of an expert and received a gift.

To put the name of the sword to shame, this sword had never had a single drop of blood on it.

“… … It shouldn’t be.”

A swordsman is someone who cuts something with his sword.

I realized what I lacked.

And immediately went to see the Count.

* * *

“——I want to experience real combat.”

“Yes, Father.”

At my words, the Count began to let out his saliva. It takes my skills to blindly refuse because of my age, and it takes experience to believe in my skills and blindly entrust them.

But isn’t there something that modern people always say? ‘If everyone is looking for experienced people, newcomers should go somewhere to gain experience.’

After much deliberation, the count allowed me to participate in the actual battle conditionally.

“… … Take Sir Leon and Sir Moir. If there are three expert-class knights, they will be able to deal with anything immediately.”

“Two? What will Youngji do?”

“There is nothing busy right now. Well, there is one thing… Because my son said he would go there instead.”

At the words of the count, who answered with a smile, I bowed my head and left the room.

Permission was granted. offshore patrol. Finding and defeating thieves and monsters.

It was the real experience I had been longing for.

‘I’m already pounding.’

I grabbed my pounding heart and ran to the parade ground. At the parade ground, there was Sir Leon training the soldiers.

Since it was still my personal training session, Sir Leon tilted his head when he saw me suddenly appearing.

Soon after, Sir Leon, who heard my story, shouted in a voice mixed with astonishment, as if in shock.

“You mean the Count gave you patrol?”

“yes. I heard you go with Sir Leon and Sir Moir.”

“No, even Sir Moir… ?”

Sir Leon nodded and looked at me as if he understood why the Count had entrusted me with patrol.

“Well, even the young master cannot wield only a sword in the territory forever. Field experience is just as important as training.”

“yes. I’m looking forward to it too.”

“—I understand. I will pass it on to Lord Moir. Bocchan… You are preparing your mind for the patrol tomorrow.”

“Are you ready?”

When I asked again with a tilt of my head, Sir Leon burst out laughing.

“Yes, prepare your heart.”

“It’s okay to call it patrol, isn’t it?”

“Huh, you know when you experience it.”

When I saw him laughing sullenly, I began to be overcome with incomprehensible anxiety.

The next day, I could see for myself what that anxiety was.

* * *

“Move quickly!”

At the words of the senior knight, the trainee knights moved like crazy and started loading the military equipment onto the wagon. There were apprentice knights who were dissatisfied with the need to become a knight and do such chores, but what should they do? If it’s from above, it should be.

The knights who loaded all kinds of supplies on the wagon got on their horses and finished preparing to go out, and the Count held a ceremony standing in front of the knights who were all prepared.

“Go and clean it so that no territories are tormented by evil and demons.”

“”yep-!””

The spirit of the group of knights made the territory vibrate for a moment. Soon after, Sir Leon, who was at the forefront, led the knights out of the territory.

I turned the reins and caught up behind Sir Leon. The saddle of a horse I had never ridden other than when I was training was pressing my butt.

“Bocchan, is your ass okay?”

“—Sir Moir.”

“hahahahaha! die right now Can you still see the estate?”

Lord Moir said so and urged me to return. However, it is only a coward’s job to go back to a real battle that he has hoped for, nervous or afraid.

The heir of the family was not to be a coward. When I said that it was okay to come, Moir kept his mouth shut as if he understood.

I could tell he was testing me, but I didn’t think much of it. It was a suicidal act to ignore those with experience because of their high status in the first real battle.

‘How long will it take?’

This procession, which included three wagons, thirteen knights, and fifty cavalrymen, left the territory and quickly headed for a village within the territory.

When I arrived at the village, I stopped for a while to give the horses a rest, and when I made sure there were no immediate problems in the village, I headed to the next village.

This was repeated until sunset.

“All forces stop-!”

By the time the aura-enhanced buttocks caught fire, Sir Leon, who was running in the lead, shouted. Immediately the knights and soldiers halted their horses and set up their tents.

Looking at the apprentice knights who completed the tent in an instant, Kyle went inside the tent they had built.

It’s a different world with magic, but compared to the high-tech tents made with modern industry, it was nothing short of a mess. Still, it’s better than the old tents used in the military.

As I entered the tent and stood there blankly, Lord Moir approached me and asked what I was thinking.

“Are you disappointed?”

“Yes?”

“Isn’t it very different from the actual battle you expected? If you’re lucky, you might even come back without a fight. In the meantime, we have to spend the night in this uncomfortable tent.”

At Lord Moir’s words, I nodded cautiously. They told me to prepare my heart— is this the only thing?

Hagiya, from Leon’s point of view, he must have been very worried about himself, as he rarely went out of the territory and had never camped out.

‘But what? I’m of military constitution.’

However, if there was one thing Leon didn’t know, it was that he was so adaptable that he adapted well even in the army.

I didn’t want to do it even if a bug the size of my palm appeared, and I ate combat rations that were several years past their expiration date. Not to mention sleeping in a tent.

“It’s fine. This much.”

When I was in the army, three people slept in a tent that was only half of this size, but now, he is the heir of his own family and allows me to use this big tent alone.

There was nothing to complain about, as the trainees did everything from setting up the tents to collecting them.

“okay. Good luck then.”

“Is there patrol tomorrow too?”

“Yeah, well, actually, no fights are best. It’s a big deal if you fight for nothing and get injured.”

Sir Moir said so and confessed his true feelings. understanding goes. If the heir of an inexperienced family froze or was injured in a real fight, it would be better if there was no fight at all, since it would be the two of them to perform the sutra.

But I didn’t think so. This world is a game world. If you stay still, you fall behind. Falling behind means death.

“First of all, there won’t be any problems today… … Have a good night’s sleep.”

Sir Moir said that and grinned. It was a laugh that said it would never be a comfortable night.

I smiled at him and lay down on the bed in the tent. It was a bit stiff, but what the—.

‘This is heaven.’

As soon as I closed my eyes, sleep came over me. The fact that I didn’t have to wake up in the middle of the night was a big help for a good night’s sleep.

In the end, sleeping outdoors, which the drivers claimed would be uncomfortable, ended up not being so uncomfortable.

* * *

Early in the morning, I woke up to the sound of rustling as apprentice knights evacuate their tents, and I moved away to urinate.

As I went somewhere out of sight of the knights, pulled down my pants and took a piss, I realized that the tree in front of me was moving.

“… … yes?”

“—Chwiik.”

When I raised my head, a green-skinned giant was looking down at me.

It was an orc.

“ah.”

rumble-.

Urine was running down the orc’s feet.
