[The mind’s eye is activated.]
Then my eyes began to look at the guy carefully.
[Public opinion (12)]
[Talent: Swordsman, Iron Man]
[Trait: Timid, Survival instinct]
[Likeability: 0]
‘Wow.’
Phrases that appeared above the guy’s head.
As I read them, a smile came to my face.
Swordman. Iron Man.
The word attached to talent was very simple, but it was valuable in itself.
‘Those two.’
Sword Ghost.
It literally means the ghost of the sword.
Since it was one of the more famous talents, I naturally knew about it.
It was a talent that not only allowed one to receive powerful swordsmanship corrections, but also had the characteristic of causing all hesitation and distracting thoughts to disappear the moment one held a sword.
When you take up a sword, your personality completely changes.
Of course, it was a talent that only gave users a strong swordsmanship correction.
‘Anyway, if it’s a swordsman.’
It was a top-tier talent among swordsmanship-related talents. The talent next to it also had great synergy.
iron man.
This is because it is one of the talents related to the body, and it is a talent that gives a powerful corrective effect to the body.
Because he was able to build muscle quickly and heal wounds quickly, he was able to possess physiques that were far superior to those of ordinary people. It could be said that he was a perfect match for the Sword Demon.
‘But the characteristics are somewhat symmetrical.’
Even if you think about it logically, it was like that.
It was safe to say that the survival instinct had the best synergy with the Sword Demon, but it was not timid.
‘I think he’s a unique guy.’
At a glance, I got a sense of how they would act.
He’s usually timid, but he’s a crazy guy when he holds a sword.
It wasn’t bad for me either.
In fact, it wasn’t that difficult to persuade timid people.
‘Have you learned the Auror method?’
When it comes to professions that use swords, the most representative one was a knight.
The difference between a knight and a soldier was simple.
Whether or not you have learned swordsmanship.
Along with this, the two were distinguished based on whether or not a certain amount of aura had accumulated inside the body.
Of course, in order to build up that aura, you had to train using the aura method that was not easily taught to outsiders.
It seemed like he hadn’t learned the Auror method yet.
Even when I played, I couldn’t find the secret method inside the arena.
‘By the way, if it’s a saber tiger… … it might be a bit tough.’
In fact, the beginning is similar to the tutorial course.
After choosing the main character, it was safe to say that the monsters you would face in the arena were comprised of fairly weak monsters.
I’m saying that I didn’t fight a guy like the shovel tiger that the host is pointing at and shouting at the top of his lungs.
That was a pretty powerful monster.
Sabre Tiger.
He is a guy nicknamed the human hunter.
Even though talents were given in the beginning, the user was the one who moved the character.
Of course, unless you’re a rotten piece of water like me, most users will get a game over without even being able to get past the tutorial if they fight someone like that.
So in the early stages of the game, when you were playing in the arena, it was common to fight against goblins, orcs, or even fellow slave gladiators.
But now, the public opinion was aligned with the Shavel Tiger.
‘Definitely. Something got mixed up.’
Games and reality.
Those two were cleverly mixed together, and quite a few things had changed. Of course, there were also many things that had not changed.
Soon the audience began to cheer as they watched the boy gladiator.
?Public opinion!
?Public opinion!
?Show me! Just tear it apart!
?The theory of madness!
Perhaps because they had seen so much blood in the matches so far, the excitement of the spectators was at its peak.
Public opinion.
The guy who was now receiving a warm cheer from the audience was trembling as he looked at the growling Sabel Tiger locked in the iron cage.
On the surface, he seemed like the epitome of a very timid person.
but.
‘It’s madness.’
When you see what the audience is shouting at the top of their lungs, you will see a complete change the moment the fight starts.
The theory of madness.
I hesitated for a moment whether to watch the scene leisurely or to stop the game.

‘If you have the traits of a swordsman, it might be worth a try even without an aura.’
The Shavel Tiger was a tiger-type monster whose power could be roughly equivalent to that of two orcs.
Those two orcs are equivalent to ten regular soldiers.
In a word.
It meant that it was a monster that would require about ten soldiers to rush in and catch.
The worry didn’t last long.
‘If he’s the main character, then of course he has to be caught.’
I was planning to come here and see what kind of play he would show.
After smiling brightly, I looked at my companions.
“It’s that guy.”
“Is this the person you are looking for?”
“uh.”
Erciel tilted his head at my words.
“Then shouldn’t we stop this game? That person… … seems to be shaking right now.”
“It looks like it would be difficult to deal with the Sabre Tiger… … .”
My answer to both of their questions was simple.
After shaking his head slightly.
“Watch carefully. I was wondering why you wanted to recruit me. Let’s test my intuition to see if it’s right or not.”
The answer was given.
With that guy’s talent, it would be possible to catch a saber tiger.
Shy?
The moment you hold a sword, you will be swallowed up by a great talent in an instant.
If you can show the talent of public opinion to those two, then you will surely understand why I asked you to recruit them.
Crucially.
I was quite curious as to how that guy fought.
A high-ranking gladiator.
It wasn’t a position given for free.
That sword must have been covered in a lot of blood.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a human or a monster.
If you watch this match, you’ll understand why he was matched up with such a vicious guy.
And, we will also be able to see how the Sword Demon works in reality.
Whether or not he will truly show the appearance of a sword-crazy ghost.
That’s what I’m talking about.
? Alright! The final match is finally about to begin! A life-or-death showdown between Seron, who earned the title of ‘Madness’ at the age of just twelve, and Shavel Tiger, nicknamed the Human Hunter! I hope you all enjoy watching!
The moment the host finished speaking.
Knock knock.
The iron bars that were imprisoning the saber tiger began to slowly rise.
Shiver.
Even at that moment, Se-ron was shaking like a crazy person suffering from epilepsy.
Sniff sniff.
Immediately after, the saber tiger flared its nose.
Lick.
I licked my lips with my tongue.
As if they had discovered a very tasty prey.
Then, his sharp fangs began to flash, and he leapt at the boy gladiator on all fours.
A rush mixed with the monster’s explosive power.
In a situation that could be called a life or death crisis.
Sling.
The trembling man finally drew his sword.
That moment.
His eyes and expression changed.
Expressionless, like a mannequin without emotions.
And within that expressionless face, there was a tiny smile.
This guy is funny, huh?
Khuu …
When a giant tiger measuring three meters in length approached him, public opinion finally began to stir.
One step.
After narrowly avoiding the bastard’s claws with that movement, he extended his sword without hesitation.
Shhh!
Inside the arena, red blood began to spray.
It was clear whose blood it was.
The massive forearms of the saber tiger.
Because there was a long sword engraved there.
Leonhard’s eyes became heavy as he witnessed that scene.
I smiled at the guy and asked him a question.
“how is it?”
“… … I understand why you covet that child. It’s as if you’ve been possessed by a sword. It’s hard to tell who’s in control.”
“Don’t you want to teach me once?”
“… … Me?”
“Huh. You can tell at a glance that he hasn’t learned a single proper swordsmanship. Since he can’t use his aura, he probably doesn’t know anything about the secret method. Since he’s a blank slate, it should be easy to teach him, right?”
“Twelve is a rather late age to begin swordsmanship.”
“That’s the story of ordinary people. Geniuses like me are different. You saw it too, didn’t you?”
“… … You are too self-praising.”
“I was just stating the truth. Anyway, what’s the answer to my question?”
“It is impossible to teach the vision of a family.”
“Then why don’t you just show me some basic swordsmanship? As for the secret method, I’ll figure it out for you or ask my father about it.”
The Marquis of Celtarion.
As a family renowned for swordsmanship, the knights of the family were expected to learn swordsmanship and auror techniques that could not be taught to outsiders.
Well, honestly, even if what lower-level knights learn were leaked, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
It would have been a different story for a knight like Leonhard.
Except for the mind and sword techniques that are only passed down to the head of the family and his immediate descendants, he was able to learn all the techniques that exist in the Marquis family.
As such, it would be burdensome to carelessly take someone as a disciple, right?
In order to impart knowledge like that, you would need the Marquis’ permission.
Despite the situation, I can see his eyes sparkling.
It seemed that the swordsman was a bit greedy.
‘but.’
Because the current appearance of me was one that would make even the Marquis of Remton drool.
Twelve years old.
At that age, without any proper swordsmanship or Aura techniques, you can strike a saber tiger that is over 3 meters long?
That in itself was a guarantee.
A sure guarantee that you will soar in the future.
“I will assume you mean to teach me.”
“I haven’t gotten an answer yet… … .”
“No, if you’re going to say that, then at least erase the greed in your eyes before you say it. Just look at the basics. You can do that much, right?”
It would be better if you moved on to the advanced course.
The escort knight frowned as if he was pondering what I said.
No, to be exact.
That’s just pretending to worry.
“That’s the way to help me. Save that guy. Won’t you follow me faithfully? If you raise that kind of loyalty, it will naturally be good for me too.”
“……All right.”
You punk.
I wanted to teach, but I was rejected.
While we were talking like that.
On the body of the Shavel Tiger, which had become a rag, a sword demon was already in place.
Phew!
Phew!
Could it be a bed that doesn’t shake?
The guy was thrusting his sword so naturally into the head of the Saber Tiger, who was starting to go wild.
Without any change in facial expression.
wow.?
When did you go up there?
Anyway, that guy is a pretty good fighter.
If you learn swordsmanship and mind techniques formally, it will be much more interesting to watch.
After stabbing the sword into its head five or six times like that, the movements of the saber tiger gradually stopped.
After a while.
He stuck his tongue out and didn’t move at all.
“madness!”
“madness!”
“Public opinion!”
“Public opinion!”
?Ah! The madness of public opinion! Today, as always, he lives up to his reputation! At the age of only twelve, he single-handedly takes down the enormous Saber Tiger! He’s truly amazing!
While the host is livening up the atmosphere.
Dozens of slaves began to drag away the body of the saber tiger.
?Okay, now all the games for today are over… …
Now that today’s games were all over, there was no need to listen to the announcer any longer.
After calling the attendant who was waiting outside the room.
“I would like to see the gladiator I fought just now in person. The name of the guy in charge of this place is Evan, right? Could you bring him over?”
As soon as I said that, tipping 1 gold, the attendant started to run away in a hurry.
Slave gladiator theory.
Now it was time to meet that guy.
