The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 103
New Gear (3)
The king took a break from his state affairs to listen to the news and show interest.
“Allen Esteban, that guy has a personal servant?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. The guy who even refused to be a knight escort now has a personal attendant… … .”
Is it because you are frugal or because you hate hassle…?
The first prince had never shown such a move except when he appointed a candidate for aide.
However, the fact that such a prince had a personal servant was enough to interest the king.
“Yes, in order to adapt to the state, you need a personal servant to manage. Who is it this time?”
“He is said to be a practicing wizard brought from the Magic Tower.”
“Huh? The rooftop?”
The king tilted his head at the attendant’s words. Was there any reason for the magicians to bring servants from the magic tower?
“Which family are you from?”
“That is… … .”
The attendant trailed off as if he was embarrassed, then opened his mouth cautiously.
“Considering that his origins are unclear, he is probably a commoner.”
“……also?”
“Yes.”
“her.”
From the king’s perspective, that was an area that was completely incomprehensible.
If the nobles are widely spread, how can we leave them alone and promote commoners?
“… … What a strange journey.”
“… … Yes.”
The two nodded simultaneously as if they had made a promise.
Those occasional outbursts of behavior could literally only be described as eccentricities.
But strangely enough, that judgment was not wrong.
‘The plan for the black magic that was destroyed this time was also revealed thanks to that guy’s antics.’
The connection between black magic and infectious diseases was so shocking that it was never made public.
But the king knew better than anyone that this was by no means a light matter.
That’s why he didn’t blame his son’s behavior even though he shook his head in dismay.
“Yeah, I’m sure he’ll figure it out. Especially since he’s probably more knowledgeable about the situation inside the Magic Tower.”
“Since the Lord also showed up, it seems like he must have something to do with it.”
“Hmm. So this time too, it’s not a completely unfounded judgment.”
… … Then that’s it.
Matapju was a great wizard who would go down in Esteban’s history. Just by being related to him, I could easily guess that there was a reason for it.
The king looked at his attendants with a pleased smile.
“But doesn’t that mean that Matapju and Allen were both interested in it? There must be some unknown talent, but why hasn’t someone like that been known until now?”
“Oh, perhaps it is because of the age of the person who brought it in.”
“age?”
“I heard he turns fifteen this year.”
“… … .”
The king felt dizzy and held his forehead.
… … As expected, it was a strange journey.

George was busy looking after the successor he had been given by chance.
But that was when I looked at it from afar. To be precise, that was what it looked like to others.
“Hey, what do you do with the letters that arrive at your office?”
“… … Just throw it away.”
“Wow! This guy looks pretty smart despite his fierce expression.”
The boy stroked his chin and smiled contentedly, as if satisfied with his education.
The sight of him finally raising his glasses was truly a sight to behold.
“Keep that in mind. Once you throw it away, the Baron will take care of it. Just remember that.”
“……huh.”
“Then what did you say about the exception?”
“An expensive-looking letter.”
“Mmm! Perfect.”
The guy looked at me with such a proud expression.
Because his face seemed to be asking if I had seen it, I opened my mouth without even being able to laugh in vain.
“Even putting aside that pathetic teaching method, wasn’t that your job?”
“That’s not true. Even when I worked at the top, it was standard practice for juniors to do the dirty work.”
“What a convenient excuse. I’m sure the Baron will be very pleased to hear it.”
“… … .”
Only then did the guy avert his gaze with a stinging look. But even so, it seems like the useless education continues.
“Ahem! Follow me. This time, this senior is a slacker. No, I’ll tell you a place where you can enjoy some free time.”
“……huh.”
With the new face of the royal family and the one rascal gone, the once noisy office finally became quiet.
And then, Baron Vidor showed up.

“A new wind has finally blown into this office. Roel, I have ordered a sword for that child to use.”
“Is the form as I said?”
“Yes, it is the type of rapier that suits that child, just as you said.”
“hmm.”
At first, they tried to teach swordsmanship in the form of a universally used longsword.
Its uniquely balanced form makes it a useful textbook not only for adults but also for children.
In fact, most of Esteban’s knights had also trained with longswords as their primary weapon.
The problem was that the guy was unusually small.
Even considering that he was a commoner who could be found anywhere before entering the Tower of Magic and that he was still young, he was still too small.
No wonder George and even the Baron were surprised when they heard his age.
‘The bigger problem is the power.’
In the previous duel, it was obvious that he was trying to be swayed by the weight of the sword rather than supporting it.
Although it wasn’t specifically mentioned, he was significantly weaker than other children his age.
That’s why I chose a sword of the rapier type.
“If it’s a rapier, it’s light enough for even that guy to use. Especially with a dwarf’s touch, not only will it eliminate its weakness in hardness, it’ll also be able to reduce its weight a little.”
“But Your Majesty, is that alright? The training method for rapiers is different from that for regular swords… … .”
“There is no weapon I cannot handle.”
“……ah!”
The Baron suddenly realized who the man sitting in front of him was.
A transcendent being who had already reached the realm of a master, the form of a weapon no longer had any meaning to such a man.
Actually, I too have been in battles and have experienced numerous martial arts.
In a sense, the rapier was a commonly encountered weapon.
From the prestigious Bonaparte family of the Empire to the lightning-quick swordsmanship of that distant continent.
In my head, I already had an optimal swordsmanship plan that I had created by breaking down the swordsmanship methods I had personally experienced.
“You just have to make them learn the swordsmanship that suits them. They are already complete.”
“……indeed.”
Above all, swordsmanship was meaningless.
As a result, swordsmanship was merely an additional element, and the real purpose was to teach how to develop that talent.
In that sense, the rapier that allows for explosive speed stabbing could actually be an element that supports that element.
“When will the sword arrive?”
“Since the priority of the work has been set as the highest, you will be able to receive the sword within six days.”
“I see.”
The corners of my mouth slowly began to rise.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
A talent of a whole new level that will blossom with my own hands.
The new fun I felt for the first time since my return was enough to make me excited.
* * *
As scheduled, the black dragon sent from the Galder Plains arrived at the palace before the end of the six days.
The Baron’s expression brightened as he looked at the appearance of the sword that had arrived.
“It’s beautiful.”
A pure white sword with thin width and thickness.
Below that is a cross guard that blends in with the grip and has a graceful star shape.
Wouldn’t it be like that if there was a star shining brightly in the darkness?
I was also very satisfied with the form in which he gave up on the slash attack and focused solely on the reach of his stabbing attacks.
I called Roel straight into my office and asked him to listen to it.
“Try to lift it and move your right arm.”
Swish- swish-
“oh……!”
Luckily, the guy was holding it and was seen swinging it around quite a bit.
Even though the length was adjusted, it still felt a bit cumbersome because of her small body.
But this will not be a problem as time passes.
“Then I will teach you swordsmanship in earnest.”
The guy also seemed to really like the beauty of the sword, as he nodded his head with a slightly red face.
So I came down to the training ground with the guy. Then, I looked at Roel and asked.
“Your talent is to be able to manifest greater power with less magic power. Amplification and manifestation, you know that, right?”
“……yes.”
“But you probably learned from the previous sparring that if you don’t hit that magic, it’s meaningless.”
“… … .”
The guy nodded with an expression that made it impossible to tell whether he understood or not.
But if you don’t understand, that’s okay too.
I picked up a suitable sword from the floor of the training room.
It was a very long sword, close to a zweihander.
“Then it’s simple. If it’s hard to match magic, just incorporate it into swordsmanship.”
“… … .”
“Exactly like this.”
Whoosh-!!
Kookookookookung!
In an instant, in the blink of an eye, the sword stretched out into the air and was thrust out, creating a massive shockwave.
The speed was so fast that it felt like a ripple was flowing out, and it even felt like the space around the sword was distorting.
Rather, the fact that the sound was heard late suggests that it was at least a stab close to the speed of sound.
It’s hard to believe that this was done with that huge, heavy sword.
“……ah.”
Roel blinked, his upper body curled up slightly.
Be that as it may, I slowly lowered the stabbed sword and spoke in a numb tone.
“Just put that energy into your sword like a knight’s aura. Then, just unleash it before your opponent can react.”
“… … .”
“What, what’s this noise?”
At that moment, the Baron’s terrified voice was heard as he came down after finishing his cleaning.
Soon, the Baron opened his eyes wide as he looked at the training ground that had become a mess due to the sword wind.
“Excuse me, oh, did a monster appear?”
“If you’re going to watch, just stay there and don’t make a fuss.”
“Ha, but… … .”
Of course, I didn’t want someone who didn’t even have basic skills to have this kind of power.
Even putting magic power into a sword. Even swinging a sword. Because I hadn’t learned anything yet.
So I calmly put down my sword and continued speaking.
“Today, I will teach you the most basic swordsmanship, the stabbing technique. However, I do not intend to teach you only swordsmanship.”
Phew!
In that moment, the magical seal on my right arm began to release stored mana.
Then, the magical powers that were formed thick enough to be visible to the surrounding area created a hemispherical defensive shield.
‘… … The distance is about 10 meters.’
Not only Roel, but even the onlookers tilted their heads in puzzlement at the sight.
I smiled slowly and said to Roel.
“Can you spread your magic like a blast to break the shield at this distance?”
“……no.”
“Then the first training is to destroy the shield from a distance. Of course, in between that, you will practice stabbing.”
A look of bewilderment appeared on Roel’s face.
It was just a moment ago that I said it was impossible. I thought it was ridiculous to have to practice stabbing along with using magical power.
Because it was common sense that it would be impossible to move and operate magic power roughly.
However, that would only be impossible in the theoretical realm of ‘magic’.
“Throw away the stereotypical theories.”
As if you could spread your energy during battle. The claim that it was different due to magic power was just an excuse.
It will take time for that series of actions to become natural, but it will be worth it.
The one who taught it was a man who had reached the pinnacle of knights.
“Remember, you will be reborn as a knight, not a wizard.”
