Chapter 3. Pretend to be relaxed and show off your guts. (6)
Information that the average person would never be able to perceive comes flooding in. You can pick up sounds you couldn’t hear before and detect smells you couldn’t smell before.
It truly felt like an animal.
More than anything,
“…….”
I closed my eyes and focused on the emptiness deep in my stomach. I gently coaxed it and it squirted out little by little.
I felt like something like a black thread was being unraveled around my body.
‘I can feel it.’
The existence of living things within the range of the thread is everything.
Absolute area.
One of the reasons why Requiem is called the strongest and worst sword. Wide detection range that does not allow the enemy to approach.
In the original work, Abel used this as if he were breathing. Like a passive skill.
‘That’s why the imperial army couldn’t even lift a finger.’
Neither surprise nor hiding works. There was no living being that could hide itself within the absolute realm of this Requiem.
‘The scope is still small, though.’
This was a problem that would naturally be solved once I got used to using Requiem. Now, every time I use it, a lot of my strength is lost, making it difficult to maintain it for a long time.
After retrieving the absolute realm, I looked back at the person currently closest to me.
“Are you here?”
“Master Abel.”
Liam, approaching the stables, stopped.
“Why are you here first?”
“just.”
Liam tilted his head and approached.
“The person who wasn’t like that to begin with….”
Liam’s steps stopped again.
“young master?”
“why.”
Liam frowned at me.
“It seems like something has changed.”
Boy, you’re quick to notice.
The other day, Philip also looked hesitant when he saw me. It seemed like it was the effect of obtaining Requiem.
“I guess it’s my mood.”
In this case, it is best to just remove it.
“No. There’s definitely something,”
“Is it just a day or two that I’m good-looking? Stop flattering me.”
Liam’s face crumpled at the blunt response.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Or at least I’ve grown taller. I’m in the midst of growing up.”
“…….”
Liam’s brow twitched. Before he could see through me further, I quickly changed the subject.
“Okay, let’s start sparring. I rested for too long.”
“……yes.”
Liam reluctantly answered and picked up the wooden sword he had brought with him.
“We’ll do it the same way we did before.”
“Start.”
I also stood holding a wooden sword. Because Ovest swordsmanship was ingrained in me, I was able to maintain my posture naturally without even being conscious of it.
“going.”
Liam lunged at me, holding his sword tightly. His wooden sword cut through the air.
‘… … uh?’
I blinked.
Liam seemed to be moving very slowly. As if she was going to show me all her moves.
‘This can’t be right.’
At that moment, I realized.
It’s not that Liam is slower, but that my senses have become that much faster. So, I am slowly accepting all this stimulation.
‘see.’
Where is Liam targeting my body, and how should I move my body?
It was almost impossible not to stop it.
widely.
Liam’s wooden sword was blocked before it could reach me.
“……?!”
Liam’s eyes dilated. he asked in disbelief.
“What… are you doing now?”
“I blocked it?”
Liam’s expression darkened with embarrassment.
“I couldn’t even reach it?”
“Didn’t you just come in for my right shoulder?”
“That’s right.”
Liam removed his sword and took a step back. He looked at my face as if gauging my words.

“……again,”
Finally, he opened his mouth.
“Try again.”
Liam wiped the embarrassment from his face and attempted to attack again. But the result was the same every time.
“……”
His attack was blocked before he could reach me. When he extended his sword, it stopped at the starting point and was blocked before he could swing, making it impossible to advance.
“What the hell is this?”
Liam lowered his sword and stepped away from me.
“Master, how did this happen? No,”
He finally asked this with a serious look on his face.
“Who are you? Are you Master Abel?”
No, no matter how much you change, don’t treat me like a different person. And what is that tone of voice again? I feel like the opportunity is now and I’m running at it like crazy.
“Are you crazy? Do you want to die?”
Liam flinched as he rolled his eyes, unable to see.
“You are Master Abel.”
“Then that’s right, who would it be?”
Liam quickly lowered his head.
“I’m sorry. But you’re so different from the master I used to know….”
He lifted his head and looked at me.
“What happened so far? It looks like your skills have improved significantly.”
“Is that so? I’m not sure.”
I deliberately frowned and pretended not to care.
“her.”
Liam glared at me with an expression that said this couldn’t be happening. I waved my sword pretending not to notice.
“What are you doing? Let’s continue.”
What followed was a repeat of the previous sparring. Liam’s attacks continued to return to meaningless attempts, and each time, the dark clouds on his face deepened.
I grinned to myself.
‘Ah, it’s fun.’
Since hitting Liam’s armpit during our first sparring, I haven’t been able to land a single effective attack on him.
No, I couldn’t even brush his collar. They are just busy defending against an overwhelming attack.
but,
‘If only now.’
Somehow, I felt like I could aim for more than that.
“for a moment.”
I smiled and took a big step back.
“-?”
Liam stopped his sword and looked at me. I looked at him and relaxedly lowered his sword.
His breathing was smooth and his arms felt like they could swing the sword hundreds of times.
It was different from before, when I got tired quickly. That fact gave me more confidence.
“You said before that you shouldn’t hurt me, right?”
“yes.”
“I’ll cancel that.”
I threw a large rock into Liam’s lake-like eyes.
“Attack me with real intent to kill.”
“…….”
Liam’s eyes widened.
Eventually, he calmed his shaking eyes. And he glared at me with a cold, stern face.
“Do you know what you just said?”
“I know exactly.”
I nodded heavily.
“I promise. Even if I get hurt, I won’t hold you responsible.”
“…….”
“And there will be no reduction in the amount of money you will receive.”
Liam’s jaw tightened, then relaxed.
“Are you serious?”
“Of course. When have you ever seen me talk empty?”
“…….”
He looked at me intently, as if gauging my thoughts, and then asked.
“In the name of your family?”
I really don’t trust myself that much. Well, looking at what Abel had done so far, it was reasonable to build up distrust.
I snorted but answered calmly.
“okay.”
“…….”
Only then did Liam’s frozen face relax a little. He slowly adjusted his sword and held it.
“If that’s the case, I won’t decline.”
The expression on his face at that moment was,
‘I can finally give this spoiled boy a good beating.’
was saying.
‘Look at this guy?’
I read it and laughed.
The next moment, a strong fighting spirit emanated from Liam’s eyes.
“You will regret it.”
Pot!
His new brother disappeared. No, if he were me before, he would have felt that way.
‘see.’
Liam kicks the ground and runs towards him.
His movements, the subtle twitching of his arm muscles, and the bending angle of his wrist were all clearly visible.
even,
‘Slow.’
As if the moment had been stretched out, the entire flow caught my eye.
Liam stood in front of me like a sort of freeze frame. When she was sparring with me, she looked more energetic and motivated than ever.
‘I guess you wanted to beat me up that much.’
I raised the corners of my mouth. And I gave strength to the hand holding the sword.
‘Did you say you would regret it?’
Perhaps the target is not me. The end of this fight was clearly visible to me.
widely.
I easily blocked Liam’s sword.
“…….”
As this had happened repeatedly before, Liam seemed to have anticipated this situation to some extent.
This time he started pushing me with his hands. In the past, he would have slipped his sword and walked away.
‘Let’s take a look.’
I wasn’t planning on doing that today. I tightened my hands.
I felt it ever since I blocked Liam’s sword. That my muscles were strong enough to stand up to him.
No, it’s going beyond.
“-!”
Liam’s eyes grew even wider. He looked very shocked that I was able to receive my sword without being pushed back in the slightest.
He gritted his teeth as if he couldn’t believe it. The next moment, the pressure from the sword became even stronger.
“…….”
I kept a smile on my face. And then I slowly strengthened my grip.
Surprisingly, and unfortunately for Liam.
I was still relaxed. For a long time.
“……what!”
Liam gaped. He could not contain his astonishment as he watched his sword being pushed away little by little.
“Oh my, this is ridiculous.”
“What nonsense?”
I smiled round and round.
“You said you were doing physical training, right?”
Liam gaped as if it was absurd.
“Well, like that.”
Meanwhile, my sword was steadily pushing him away. Finally, just before his arms completely folded, “Huh!”
Liam pushed me away with force. The distance from him widened along with the sharp metallic sound.
“…….”
Liam wheezed and glared at me. There was a deep sense of defeat in his eyes that he could not hide.
“Really, Master.”
Eventually, Liam regained his composure over his eyes.
“You surprise me many times.”
His voice sounded like he was chewing, as if he couldn’t control his emotions.
“Aren’t you happy with your student’s accomplishments?”
I grinned. Liam twitched his lips and responded.
“I’m glad.”
Oh my. It’s like he’s not happy at all.
Liam looked extremely uncomfortable. She didn’t want to admit that she had been pushed.
“Finally, I’ll go.”
He seemed to have made up his mind and adjusted his posture.
‘aha.’
I felt like I knew what he was thinking. If it doesn’t work out, maybe
‘It looks like they’re trying to compete with technology.’
He must have crossed the line of fire at the border dozens of times and had been a member of the Knights of Ovest for a long time. There are 2nd and 3rd types of sword techniques that I haven’t shown you yet.
Indeed, the posture in which Liam held the sword was different from before.
‘Is that 2 meals?’
A stable sword technique that strengthens the disadvantage of Type 1, which is that the lower part is weak, and further enhances attack power.
The starting point began to manifest itself at the tip of Liam’s sword.
“Let’s take this too.”
Can you really do it? It was as if he was saying this.
“Just come.”
Of course, I was fully prepared.
Semen-
Liam’s sword flew like a flash of light, aiming for my wrist.
‘shoulder!’
I clearly read his weaknesses. No, I could see it without even trying to read it.
chin.
Lightly blocks Liam’s sword with the side of the sword,
“-!”
Apply force and twist the sword one turn.
“Ugh…!”
Liam shouted in surprise.
Kang!
With a light hitting sound, Liam’s sword flew through the air.
Deep.
The sword flew in a circular motion and landed on the dirt ground.
