EPISODE.51
Kwajeok-!
With an explosion, Russell’s new model split the air like a pendulum with a broken string.
Thump, flop.
A heavy sound rang out as it flew all the way to the wall and landed, and soon Russell was rolling around on the floor.
“Ouch… … .”
I was so out of breath that I couldn’t even speak properly.
‘… … Even though it was blocked, it was still this much of a shock?’
What was even more surprising was that even though the fist was blocked, the iron spear was completely bent.
It is too strong to be considered a human body made of fabric.
‘I don’t know if it’s delicacy or skill, but in terms of the destructive power of one blow, I think he’s superior to McRae Hughes.’
Russell clutched his chest as he felt his fingertips shaking.
The bone didn’t seem to be broken, but the throbbing pain had been growing for some time.
“hmm.”
On the other hand, Gillian Pearlson, who pushed Russell, was not even out of breath, nor was a hair damaged.
Of course, if Russell had used magic, things would have been a little different.
‘Well, it’s only a little bit… … .’
Russell asked, cupping his ribs and raising his shaky legs.
“how… … “Is it?”
The reason Russell didn’t use magic was simple.
Today’s event was not to evaluate his fighting abilities, but rather to purely test his spear skills.
“Hmm.”
Gillian nods his head in response to Russell’s question, rubs his chin, and opens his mouth.
“Even with empty words, it is difficult to say that he is excellent at martial arts. Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean you’ll fail.”
If I were to be honest, it’s a little better than Beomjae, but.
‘There are many advantages.’
First of all, his concentration was excellent.
‘Even while being attacked, he didn’t take his eyes off me, let alone closing his eyes. Rather, I tried to read the next move.’
Perhaps due to his wealth of experience, his ability to delve into the gap between breaths was also quite outstanding.
‘Well, McRae Hughes. ‘I survived the battle with that damn bastard.’
If you lack experience, it would be absurd.
And Russell’s greatest strength, in his judgment, was flexible thinking.
‘I don’t know if it’s because my job is a wizard, or if it’s just my nature.’
The evidence is that even while the sparring was in progress, spear strikes came from quite unexpected angles and directions.
‘Of course, the movements were not yet complete due to lack of knowledge about martial arts.’
With just a little tweaking, this flexibility could lead to explosive growth.
‘Wouldn’t it be fun to watch?’
After thinking about that, Gillian asked Russell.
“Rather than that, there’s one thing I’d like to ask you.”
“… … “Tell me.”
Since the throbbing pain was still everywhere, Russell frowned and opened his mouth.
“It’s nothing special, it’s just the basic spear techniques you’ve learned now. Have you ever received guidance from anyone?”
Although he was wondering why he was asking about his sudden guidance history, Russell answered.
“doesn’t exist.”
“I learned it on my own by reading basic spear techniques… … .”
Obviously, one’s own interpretation and analysis would have been involved in the process. Maybe that’s where the flexible way of thinking came from.
“In that case, the basic training method itself will remain the same as before. Analyze and learn the spear manual yourself. “If you think you’re going down the wrong path, I’ll come out and point it out.”
There was also a possibility that the accident itself could become fixed if it was touched clumsily.
“You can choose the spear techniques you want to learn from my library yourself.”
He was a guy who had learned the basics of spearmanship by analyzing it and reading it here and there.
If that extraordinary brain is real, it will also be possible to find a spear technique that suits you.
Gillian, thinking that, added with a grin that revealed his healthy teeth.
“Oh, of course it’s not free.”
“… … ?”
“Well, once a week. “I will guide you, and after that, you can play against our kids.”
“What I’m asking you to do is… … ?”
“Shouldn’t our children also experience a battle with a wizard once? Of course, if you really come forward, how many people will you be able to deal with?”
The request was to help him gain experience in battles with wizards, using his discretion.
‘hmm.’
Russell also had something in his mind when he heard those words, so he nodded first.
“All right. “Instead, I would like to ask you something.”
“ask?”
“yes.”
Eventually, Gillian, who heard Russell’s request, made a strange face for a while.
“That too-.”
He then smiled, revealing his pure white teeth.
“-That’s a pretty interesting idea.”

.
After completing Russell’s guidance, Vincennes, who returned to the training ground and sharpened his sword, entered the castle.
It was a while later that I received a call from Gillian Pearlson.
‘What’s going on?’
As I tilted my head and headed towards the first training hall, the meeting place, I saw that several knights had arrived besides me.
Among them, five are second-level knights like Vincennes, and six are third-level knights… … .
‘Are the rest fourth-class knights?’
Quickly!
The 3rd and 4th class knights who found him all bowed in unison, and Vincen, who nodded appropriately, joined the group of 2nd class knights like himself.
“Are you here?”
“It’s a little late.”
“It’s not too late because the Lord of the Castle hasn’t arrived yet.”
After exchanging greetings and observing the surroundings, one of the knights asks him.
“Rather than that, does the Lord of the castle know anything about what has called us?”
“well… … .”
He tilted his head and muttered in an expression of uncertainty.
“Perhaps it is because of Lord Russell.”
“If you are Sir Russell…” … .”
“McRye Hughes, you mean the wizard who blew off that guy’s arm?”
“I see. “I was the one who escorted Lord Russell to the castle lord’s office around lunchtime today.”
“Oh, then tell me the story. “Is he really that young like the rumors say?”
“I heard there is a rumor that he breathes fire from his mouth. Is that true?”
Vincen made an embarrassed expression in response to the questions flocking to him.
Anyway, it’s still like that, it’s spitting fire out of its mouth.
No, there may be such magic, but whatever. The moment before the commotion broke out.
Tap, tap, tap, tap.
Someone came into the training hall. It was not one person, but two people: Gillian Pearlson and Russell.
“Everyone was gathered together.”
“See you Lord!”
Quickly!
As if they had been chatting for some time, the knights of Gaeul Dalseong all raised a military salute.
It was a military ritual in which the sword was raised vertically and held in front of the eyes, without even the slightest deviation.
Gillian, who had received a brief military service, looked around at them and said,
“There are several reasons why I called you here today, but first, let me introduce the people.”
I tapped Russell’s shoulder with a palm as big as a cast iron pot.
“It’s the divinity of the moment, Count Russell Raymond.”
“This is Russell Raymond.”
As soon as the introduction was over, all eyes of the knights turned to Russell.
‘That young man is the rumor-.’
‘As rumored, the red eyes and black hair are impressive, but… … .’
‘It doesn’t look like it’s going to spew fire from its mouth.’
It didn’t take long for a feeling of awe to appear in the eyes as if looking at a strange creature.
Perhaps it is because of the unique culture of knights that reveres the strong.
The funny thing is that it didn’t take long for those eyes to change.
“Starting today, you will take turns sparring with this friend once a week. The number of sparring sessions is two per person, of course one of them will be duel without using magic or Auror Sword.”
“-!”
Their eyes immediately changed at Gillian’s words and they murmured in surprise.
Of course, I could understand that they were sparring to gain combat experience with wizards, but… … .
‘Because it wouldn’t make sense for a wizard and a knight to compete and not use magic.’
This sparring was exactly what Russell asked Gillian to do.
The reason for this request was simple.
‘Sparring with an Auror practitioner is a good experience, but-.’
If you only use magic, you won’t improve your spear skills, which is what you need.
“i look forward to.”
Russell slightly lowered his head as if it was no big deal, and the knights looked at him with fire in their eyes.
The reason that anyone could see it was at a disadvantage was that they could not keep their eyes in shock since they were wizards.
Gillian smiled faintly as he read that atmosphere and took a step back.
He looked back at the knights of Autumn Reach and shouted.
“Now then, who will step forward and show their skills first?”
One of the level 4 knights who had been exchanging glances at the castle lord’s shout stepped forward.
“I am Baskin, a level 4 knight of Autumn Attainment. “It is an honor to be able to show off the sword to the rumored hero.”
As soon as he stepped forward, a green window appeared in front of Russell’s eyes.
[mission]
Sparring with the Autumn Achievement Knights.
Defeat the Autumn Achievement Knights through sparring and achieve consecutive wins.
Rewards are added according to the number of consecutive winning streaks.
The number of consecutive wins is reset each week when a sparring match begins.
[compensation]
Lesser Magic Stone (Edible) x Number of consecutive wins.
A low-level magic stone, it is not a very great level of compensation at this point.
However, the advantage of this mission was that it could be repeated every week.
‘If the number increases, it won’t be such a small amount.’
There is also a saying that gathering dust creates a mountain.
“This is Russell Raymond.”
Russell introduced himself once again and opened the inventory.
chuck.
Before coming to the training ground, I took out the long spear I had borrowed from Gillian.
As if in response, a man named Baskin pulled out his sword.
It was a bastard sword, a hybrid sword that could be wielded with one or both hands as needed.
Slurp-.
The sound of the sword coming out of the scabbard was quite sharp.
Although it was just a simple water extraction operation, it somehow felt theft.
Straight movements as if they were measured with a ruler, something out of a swordsmanship textbook. But why?
Not only is it worth doing more than I thought, but I even think it’s worth winning.
Hwaak-.
The energy of the Overlord and Wizard Body begins to swirl throughout the body, and the hot energy spreads out to the tips of the fingers and toes.
“Chahap!”
Baskin ran towards Russell excitedly.
and-.
Kang, kakak, kagagagagak!
Less than three months later, boom!
Baskin’s body, thrown out with an explosion of alcohol, rolled around the gym.
Followed by Chuck.
A sharp blade was pointed at his fallen neck.
“… … “Huh!!”
A heavy silence fell over the training ground.
