The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

064. City of Linchester (3)

morning.

In the restaurant, maids were diligently serving meals. And a man he had never seen before sat beside Benek.

“Sylvia! Long time no see!”

The man got up as Sylvia and Ethan entered the restaurant. Standing up, he was about half a hand taller than Ethan, and he was a young man with dazzling silver hair that looked good on him.

“Ah, brother, have you been well?”

Sylvia once bowed to Aen.

A person who has recently made a name for himself in the Lynchester family, Aen von Lynchester.

Lynchester Barn was located in the westernmost part of the empire, and outside of the empire there was a demonic world full of primeval forests.

And Aen was the one who protected the Lynchester class from the Witchbeast on the Western Front.

“I heard you were coming back to Lynchester, so I hurried into the city and looked around. You’ve become more beautiful while I couldn’t see you.”

“It is overrated. Brother. Ethan, say hello. This is the proud knight of Lynchester.”

As always, Sylvia responded in a calm tone. Ethan lowered his head slightly to show his respect.

“Hoo? Ethan? It’s Ethan. Did you say that this child is your disciple?”

The silver-haired young man smiled at Ethan. Even at a glance, Ethan looked ridiculous as he did not deviate from the childish tee.

‘Sylvia’s favorite disciple, so I’m just saying that. I don’t know if he’s trying to do his job properly.’

Aen smiled. However, he did not reveal his true feelings.

“He’s a proud guy who killed two demons in one semester after he entered school.”

“And Sylvie is the one she likes.”

Sylvia was subtly taken aback by the head of the family who interrupted. Seeing Sylvie like that, Aen smiled kindly.

“Sylvie! It’s amazing that there are people who like you.”

Aen looked at Ethan once again as if it was new.

“Yeah, you look very young. But skill has nothing to do with age. Did you say Ethan? How old are you? If it’s enough for Sylvia to admit, it’s definitely more than 6 stars… .”

Sylvia stopped Aen and stepped out.

“My older brother, Edan, is still a candidate for a hero. I’m not even qualified to be called a few stars yet.”

“ah… , this. I was unknowingly excited at the news that Sylvia had brought in a disciple. sorry. Ethan.”

“no.”

Ethan smiled and replied.

The meal soon began. During the meal, Dangju asked Aen questions, and Aen smiled and showed humility.

“Ah, you said you killed several named monsters while guarding the entrance to the Devil’s Land, right?”

“Yes, my lord. The frontier is gradually expanding. At this rate, sooner or later we will be able to build a city in the Demon Realm.”

Benek laughed.

“Please try a little harder. If you were the leader of the western guard, it’s a shortcut to success in advancing to the center.”

“For the Lynchesters.”

“Yes, yes. For the family.”

The atmosphere was quite bright.

“You know what? Rumors like this also circulate in the Lynchester class.”

“What rumors are you talking about?”

“Anyone who did not watch over the Empire from the Demonic Realm is not even a man.”

Anne laughed out loud once.

“As much as it protects the western region of the empire, it deserves applause.”

“It’s an honor that the head of the household said so.”

As the meal was over, Sylvia stood up first. If the story related to marriage came to the surface after sitting for a long time, it would be uncomfortable.

* * *

‘It’s very inconvenient.’

I muttered to myself once.

It was okay to come to the Lynchester barn. It wasn’t just because the bed was changed that I felt this way.

It must be because of the high-pressure atmosphere.

I could see why Master didn’t want to come home.

‘Even if it was me… , I don’t want to come home. Just pay attention.’

Then Master called me.

“Ethan. Calm down. It’s training time. Grab your sword.”

I grabbed the wooden sword standing next to me.

From five or six paces away, Master was lowering the rod of love.

“Release your mana and do your best to attack it. I need to figure out how you grew up.”

After all, if I don’t do it right, I’ll get beaten up like I did at the beginning of the semester. I easily released my magic and leaped straight to my master.

A prelude to grasp each other’s skills. In response, a cheerful sound rang out in succession.

f*ck! f*ck!

Master easily blocked my double attack with one hand. It was the 4th formula sword dance of the Linchester swordsmanship.

“Can’t you just do that! So how can you take me?”

damn

I raised my wooden sword horizontally to block the blow to the top of my head. Master’s combo attack was imbued with magical power. If it was the beginning of the semester, the attack would have been allowed.

“Master! I have no intention of taking Master.”

“Is it something you don’t like about me?”

Whiik-

The stick flew through the wind. It seems that there is some emotion in it.

“It’s not like that.”

“Hmph, you won’t be able to take me for the rest of your life with such poor skills anyway.”

Concentration was naturally disturbed because of the image associated with the word drunk. driving me crazy.

Besides, Master wasn’t just pretty, she was beautiful.

Every time he swung his sword, his silver hair fluttered, and when he continued his swordsmanship ceremony with a well-balanced body, it seemed like he was dancing like a butterfly.

“Ethan! Concentrate.”

I can’t. I also have to say something.

“Master! There is something I really want to tell you.”

stop.

It’s been a while, but Master’s fighting spirit has faded. I wanted to be at this time, so I hurriedly continued.

“Couldn’t you use the expression ‘drunk’?”

“What is this disciple saying?”

“I am also a man before being a disciple, but if I keep hearing that… .”

Would you even understand this?

I sneakily looked into Master’s eyes. A pleasant smile appeared on Master’s lips.

“Ethan… , How dare you imagine a teacher!”

Oh, you poured oil on the fire.

Sylvia smiled and started lashing out at me. I forgot. Master’s tendencies are sadistic.

That means I enjoy suffering.

“Huh, with those skills, you can’t even function as a man properly.”

And I confessed that I was suffering.

“As expected, I will give a fair punishment to your foolish imagination.”

It seemed that the chain attack was faster than before.

It also had more mana. In this way, beyond the skirmish, even calling it a true sword match was no inferiority.

The wooden sword and the stick crossed.

We pushed each other’s weapons and exchanged strength once.

Master aimed at the bottom and walked. I hurriedly took a few steps back, kicked off the ground, and shortened the distance again.

‘Linchester swordsmanship 4th, sword dance’

Master received the following case with the same technique. A faint smile appeared on Master’s lips.

Cut, stab, block and cut again.

The gently curved movement of the sword, the blade moving in semicircles and circles cut through the air dozens of times.

In an instant, Master took a leap backwards.

“Ethan! I said stop.”

“yes… ?”

It’s not ‘Stop’, it’s ‘Stop’.

It meant that he had already ordered the sword to be drawn.

When he came to his senses, the ground was hollowed out by the runaway mana. The wooden sword was so damaged that it could not be reused.

ah… .

Only then did I have a chance to look back on myself. There were throbbing all over the body. I don’t know if I was beaten here and there while exchanging battles.

And a trickle of blood flowed from Master’s mouth.

“Master… Blood on the lips… .”

“It’s just a torn lip.”

Sylvia wiped her mouth as if it was no big deal.

“I know your skills well. Ethan. I was terribly disappointed. How futile is a sword wielded without taking care of itself?”

I hung my wooden sword powerlessly.

“Now it is lunch time. Cool down and come.”

I couldn’t bear to follow Master, who turned around first.

* * *

Sylvia sat down in a chair and leaned against the soft backrest. It was as if the feeling of the sword colliding with the fingertips was still alive.

“You’ve become stronger, Ethan.”

An arc line was drawn over and over again. The disciple was stronger than expected.

“If that’s a talent, it might really surpass me sooner or later.”

Sylvia pressed her throbbing head. Do not give vain praise. That was Sylvia’s conviction.

Vain praise made it easy to misjudge one’s skills and become arrogant. She wanted her one and only disciple to wield the sword for a long time.

“… For a while, he also stepped into the ‘trance of the sword’.”

Of course, Sylvia did not show all her skills. However, he did not know that he would allow Edan’s sword to attack.

If this had been a real battle, they would have been caught off guard and might have met each other.

Still, Edan’s skills definitely improved. Still, wouldn’t it be too much of a shame?

‘I hope you don’t get offended… .’

The trouble deepened.

Sylvia closed her eyes and reviewed the battle once. He was seen exchanging swords with Edan in the dark void.

‘Couldn’t you use the expression “drunk?”

‘I’m a man before being a disciple, but if I keep hearing that… .’

Sylvia opened her eyes slowly, with an attitude of not being in any hurry.

“I also feel sorry for you. disciple Did you have an outrageous imagination in front of your teacher?”

The content was serious, but the way he spoke was cute.

‘Hey, did you even imagine the teacher’s naked body?’

When her thoughts reached that point, it seemed that Sylvia would finally understand Ethan.

“It must be fun to make fun of such a disciple.”

smart.

Then a knock was heard. Someone said it was Dania. After permission was granted, Dania entered Sylvia’s room.

“Sylvia-sama, it’s time for lunch. But are you doing anything good?”

“Ah, Dania. I just had a funny idea.”

Dania watched Sylvia blankly laughing. While serving Sylvia, I had never seen her smile so mischievously.

“Nia, do you know how to tease a man?”

“yes? Are you kidding me?”

“Yes. The meaner the meaner the better.”

Hmm, Dania hummed once. Rumors that marriage was mentioned between Sylvia and Edan had already spread among the retainers.

Of course, along with the word that it was discontinued.

“What if you say it’s a mean way?”

“It’s about how to bully Ethan.”

“Oh, I just remembered something interesting.”

“okay? Please tell me in detail.”

Dania told how to do it with a single smile on her lips. It was a good way for Sylvia to hear.
