Episode 4 The Baskerville Dog (1)
Eight years have passed.
Vikir van Baskerville was eight years old and, as is the case with children in the Baskervilles, was taking a number of lessons.
the tutor asked.
“Okay, last question. How did you say to classify the level of a swordsman?”
Bikir replied with a calm expression.
“Regardless of swordsmanship proficiency, a swordsman who does not know how to load mana into a sword is a ‘Sword Beginner’, a state that knows how to load mana into the tip of a sword, but the aura raised by doing so is weak like a gas ‘Sword Expert’, The state where the aura rising from the sword becomes sticky and dense like a liquid is called ‘Sword Graduator’, and the state where the aura becomes hard like a solid and the shape can be changed according to the caster’s will is called ‘Sword Master’. ”
Of course, all of these are separated for convenience.
Basically, combat is affected by numerous factors such as health, terrain, climate, humidity, gravity, experience, and the density of mana in the air.
You can calculate it, but when you calculate it, the result will already be different.
But the calculations for 8-year-olds aren’t that complicated yet.
When Bikir answered without hesitation, the other children around him raised their hands as if competing and bleeped.
“If a beginner and an expert fight, the expert wins!”
“If you fight an expert and a graduate, the graduate will win!”
“Master is stronger than graduate!”
“And the head of household is the master!”
Bikir was silently listening to the children around him.
The words of one of the guys stab me in the chest.
‘The head of the family is the master!’
Hugo Les Baskervilles, head of the Baskervilles.
For a wizard, he possesses as much as 7 circles of mana.
However, as a master of swordsmanship, he replaced mana with aura and used it on a sword, and it is said that his realm reached the respected sword master.
said the tutor.
“great. Hugo, the head of the Baskerville family, is a sword master. This is a stage that only 7 people have reached in this country, ‘Rock’, and each head of the 7 families corresponds to this.”
Of course, Bikir already knew this fact.
He even knew that there were several more sword masters in and out of the empire.
This is information no one knows at this point.
Bikir is thinking hard about something alone.
The tutor’s eyes were on Bikir from earlier.
‘He is a wonderful person.’
A truly overwhelming, almost violent talent at this point.
It is a small legend in the family that a child who was only 100 days old dived for more than 7 minutes in the River Styx.
But where only the body excels?
Even though it was overshadowed by the extraordinary of the body, the brain was also so bright that it was unmatched among peers in the family.
It is worthy of being dared to call it ‘a talent that awakens hundreds if one is taught’.
‘The family lord must be happy today.’
He was going to report all this to Hugo.
Originally, Hugo is not very interested in the rest of the children unless they are the eldest and second sons.
Hugo, who had been acting as if he was just a livestock wholesaler, stopping by occasionally to record the growth and value of livestock, has suddenly increased his interest in infant castles over the past few years.
Of course it’s because of Bikir.
It was extremely unusual for Hugo to come to this infant castle, a place where only children under the age of 10 are gathered and raised together, so the tutors who were in charge of this place have been straining their shoulders these days.
‘Thank you, Bocchan. I will do my best to assist you.’
Thanks to Vikir, the budget has increased a lot and his position has grown compared to other knights in the family, so everyone was looking at Vikir with favorable eyes.
Of course, Vikir himself was not interested.
* * *
After class, around the time when the children were going back to their rooms throughout the castle.
Vikir was looking back at herself now.
‘Hugo is the master, right?’
Unfortunately, that is true.
Its density and rigidity were on a different level from the ‘solid aura’ that only masters could express, and his own ‘sticky liquid’ aura, which was a senior grader.
Aww-
teeth are grinding
In this life, I will never live or die so meanly.
‘At least before the coming-of-age ceremony, recover all the powers of life.’
Currently 8 years old.
Bikir’s level had reached the advanced level of Sword Expert without anyone noticing.
In my previous life, it was a state that I had only reached after I was 20 years old.
Before returning, he had risen to the rank of Sword Expert at the age of 20.
In fact, even this much was great enough to pass as a genius by the standards of the world, but within the Baskervilles, it was mediocre, or slightly less than that.
Usually, the children of the Baskervilles knock on the door of advanced sword experts around the age of 20 and graduates around the age of 30.
If you can put ‘liquid aura’ on the tip of your sword in that way, you will rise to the position of an executive from here, and if not, you will move from one position to another.
Even the elites of the Baskerville family, who are said to be geniuses among geniuses, reach the age of 20 as the threshold for becoming an advanced sword expert.
But Bikir was stepping on it now, at the age of eight.
At an age when he had never felt mana in his previous life.
This is a state that even the super-elite within the family would not dare to surpass.
When Bikir is feeling a new emotion.
“hey.”
A voice called from behind.

Wanting something, I turned my head and saw three children in my 9-year-old class.
High Bro Les Baskerville, Middle Bro Les Baskerville, Low Bro Les Baskerville.
The surname of ‘Re’ given to boys of direct lineage, and the surname ‘Ra’ given to girls.
The three here are said to be direct descendants of the Baskervilles.
The pedigree is very clear.
Very clichéd, Hivero, the eldest in the front, started to argue with Vikir.
“‘Half’ trash, where are you going?”
“Where are you going?”
“Where are you going?”
If the guy in front sings the lead, the two guys behind sing the afterword.
It was a fight like a nine-year-old.
Well, anyway, the Baskervilles are thoroughly talent-oriented and skill-oriented, so when they get a little older, this won’t happen.
However, the reason Bikir kept a close eye on the triplets in front of him was for another reason.
‘… … The trident of Hugo Baskerville.’
In 10 more years, those guys will grow into quite troublesome enemies.
In fact, before returning, these are the three hounds who tenaciously pursued and stabbed Bikir, who escaped through the encirclement.
‘Come to think of it, these guys have bothered me a lot since I was young.’
Bikir’s growth was very slow when he was young because they took away so much food.
During various evaluations, he sneakily stepped on his feet or wielded a blind knife.
Because of that, there were many times when I almost died in various missions because I had a slight limp.
… flash!
Bikir’s eyes leaked bloody blood.
Knowing it or not, the triplets, who had just turned 9, giggled and surrounded Bikir.
“Hey trash, you said you submerged in the Styx for 7 minutes? And what, strangled two vipers in the cradle? bluff a little bit. Where can a guy who is only 8 years old lie!”
“lie!”
“lie!”
Hive, the most vicious of the three, took a step forward.
“Can you do this?”
At the same time, a small sphere glows faintly above the palm of his hand.
The young children of the Baskerville family are different from the cotyledon in mana sensitivity and mana management.
It was already possible to condense mana and gather it in a circle.
It seemed that he hadn’t been able to put it on his sword yet, but even so, it was enough to be praised as a genius in the world.
Of course, even within the Baskerville family, he can be praised for being quite talented.
“If it is a talent, then this is a talent. Do it soon too! See how much mana you can make.”
“Look!”
“Look!”
The triplets continued to push Bikir.
“… … .”
Bikir looked at the lump of mana that Loubro had created.
A mana sphere the size of a child’s fist. Yeah, at that age, I was good at doing just that.
But Bikir had already done that much at the age of eight months.
When he strangled two poisonous snakes in the cradle.
Since the mana proficiency of 8 years after the return was added to the 30 years before the return, where does that level reach?
Bikir took a look around.
There is not much to worry about in the ‘Little Fang Castle’ where only children live.
The few guardian knights and tutors are now all out to the outer castle.
… Pod!
The power of Bikir was expressed.
Bikir holds his palms high and collects mana.
Seeing this, the faces of the triplets turned into astonishment.
“… … !”
“… … !”
“… … !”
Nothing was created on Bikir’s palm.
The triplets put on a dazed expression for a moment, then started laughing loudly.
“Ahahahaha, you non-yungsin! Could it be that you couldn’t even respond to mana until you were older?”
“Couldn’t you?”
“Couldn’t you?”
The guys are so intent on ridiculing that they even shed tears.
… … but.
At the same time, a watchtower not too far from Yua Castle.
One of the guards on duty was perplexed by the unexpected change seen through the window.
“What, what? Why are there two suns above Baby Castle?”
