Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 15

Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master (15)

As the one-on-one duel between the two ended with Leonard’s victory, the outdoor training that took place in the forest also came to an end.

It was an ending no one expected.

Group 5, who had been treated like beggars because they could not belong to any faction, took a shocking turn of events. Even though he received some help from Leonard and No. 3, it would have been an impossible victory had his skills been poor.

The instructors themselves wondered if they were too caught up in the numbers, so the surprise of the trainees was bound to be even greater.

“Hey, you guys are doing something!”

“Tch! Even if I wasn’t so tired… .”

“Are you going to say that in real life too? “I have to admit it.”

“that’s right. “It’s the same with number 25. You shouldn’t judge it solely based on the number.”

The children’s reactions were all different.

There were children who admired the performance of the 5 members, others who grumbled because they could not admit their defeat, and there were children who thought it was pitiful and there were several children who broke down stereotypes.

‘… It was a huge departure from our plan, but I think it turned out even better.’

As a result, the purpose of this training itself was successfully achieved.

Bruno, the senior instructor, looked around at the children with a happy expression while playing with his mustache.

It was more than expected that the 5 trillion members who had been depressed without knowing their own strength and potential regained their confidence, and that the children who had become lazy due to a sense of superiority that was nothing special regained their sense of improvement.

‘No. 1, William also seemed to have realized something.’

He, who was obsessed with being the best, as if something was holding him back, was seen smiling with a relieved expression after losing to number 25.

Those who do not know failure become more frustrated.

Even if the person has genius talent, no, that makes him even more frustrated. It was as if the road I had been moving along, which I thought was a solid road, had suddenly collapsed.

If it is during the training process, there is a chance to get back up again, but in actual combat, the failure and frustration will end in death.

‘It’s all thanks to number 25.’

Bruno looked for number 25 Leonard, the person in charge of this training and could be said to be the number one contributor, and immediately tilted his head.

This was because he could not be found among the children laughing and talking noisily. There is no reason to be happy except for number 25, who is the main character of victory.

Colin, the instructor who read that expression and approached, whispered.

“I went to see a wolf for a while 25 times.”

“Oh, I see.”

It was a short period of time, but since he followed me so well, I guess he became attached to me like a pet. Despite his swordsmanship skills, which made it hard to believe he was 14 years old, it occurred to him that he was still a child.

Now that I think about it, this was another good opportunity.

Before returning to the mansion, I had something to say separately to Leonard, the new number one.

“Instructor Colin, once the children’s excitement subsides, settle down and get ready to go back. “I called for the carriage.”

“All right.”

“I’m going to talk to number 25 for a moment.”

After passing on the remaining chores to the instructors, Bruno walked into the forest with his back to him.

Even though it is not a very fast walk, it jumps several meters at a time, and soon finds a place where it can feel the 25th sign.

It didn’t take long.

‘Ohh.’

Bruno, who found number 25, was impressed without even realizing it.

It wasn’t a deliberate hiding, but he tried to hide his presence and approached, but Number 25 had already turned towards him.

The report did not say that it was ‘highly likely to have extra-senses’ for nothing. It would be in a similar vein that he was able to repel all of the consecutive attacks that even used the first trait.

“Should I call you number 25 or number 1?”

“Do whatever is convenient for you.”

“Then I’ll call you number 25. William, no, number 1 has been doing it for so long that it doesn’t stick to his mouth very well.”

Leonard nodded solemnly at those words.

‘You still don’t have the personality of a child.’

Even though he won the number 1 spot, which signifies the strongest jockey, he doesn’t seem to have any interest in the title.

Neither the calm eyes nor the repeated breathing at regular intervals looked like someone who had just fought fiercely.

“Hmm.”

Bruno knew people who felt the same way.

The atmosphere of the monsters, who have accumulated practical experience at the level of literally building mountains with corpses and creating oceans with blood, and have become indifferent to any situation.

Even though it’s been over a dozen years, the memory is still vivid, the moment I first encountered the 1st Division of Cardenas’ Red Dragon Knights.

A world that has become desolate, as if we were in the eye of a typhoon.

-Move over, kid.

The smell of blood and the presence of death were so vivid that I almost forgot that I was blocking the road.

From that day on, Bruno realized.

Those who can be said to be Cardenas’ true force are in a different realm than he is. They are people whose blood has been tempered to a level that cannot be surpassed by talent, effort, and resources.

So it was more difficult to understand.

‘Number 25, are you saying this child is the same as them? He has never held a true sword or stood on a battlefield? ‘Is that possible?’

He was caught up in unanswerable worries due to his clumsy sense of good.

But Leonard didn’t wait for his silence any longer.

“Senior instructor?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I looked away for a moment. “Is that the wolf you said you tamed?”

Bruno, who had finally regained his senses, looked the other way.

He changed his words as if he was seeing a wolf hiding behind Leonard’s back. The wolf, who had already lowered his eyebrows, trembled at the gaze directed at him.

‘That’s clever.’

This is evident from the fact that he hid behind Leonard as soon as he realized that he could not win against Bruno.

Look at those pitiful eyes and stroke the bridge of your nose a few times,

“Yes, that’s right.”

“It was great to use wolves to search the 5th group members scattered throughout the forest and recruit them into the 6th group. “If you and number 3 had run with both feet, we wouldn’t have been able to find even half of that.”

Leonard didn’t deny that.

Because it was absolutely true.

“Do not use wolves to attack or threaten Ostrich’s trainees as a means of negotiation. That was the promise.”

“I didn’t mean to make a point. On the contrary, I would like to praise you. “If a loophole in the rules was found, it would be the responsibility of the instructors who did not anticipate it from the beginning.”

“thank you.”

Bruno, who had nothing to say, just laughed.

“Where did the potion given to trainee number 3 come from?”

“When I was coming out of the medical room after receiving treatment, the therapist gave me a few bottles to drink if I got sick.”

“Did you bring that with you? “The preparation is thorough.”

Even if you are of Cárdenas’ bloodline, a fracture does not get better after a few days of sleep. If it weren’t for the recovery that had increased several times with sufficient nutrients and potions, number 3 would still have had a splint on.

After that, Bruno asked a few questions about things he didn’t know or had doubts about, and listened to the answers.

And Bruno, who heard all the circumstances, spoke.

“Aren’t you curious as to why you’re asking so trivially?”

“If there is a reason I need to know, I think the senior instructor can tell me more.”

“Keu, it doesn’t taste like teasing.”

Bruno clicked his tongue at his childish attitude, but he had no intention of hiding what he wanted to say or dragging it out.

“Number 25, since you have become number 1, I want to give you information that matches that number.”

“no. 1… Is it that important?”

“It’s important. Why would training centers assign numbers to children and encourage competition through trivial differential treatment? “The higher the number, the more you can gain.”

It wasn’t something that went far beyond Leonard’s expectations.

Because direct superiors such as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 knew about this outdoor training in advance. I thought there must be a reason for maintaining the top number despite the inconvenience.

Bruno continued.

“At the end of this training, the children are divided into several groups and begin the full-scale Cardenas training process. Based on your grades at this training center, the areas you can go to and the distribution of training resources will change significantly. “If you become number 1, you will receive the best treatment among them.”

“okay.”

“Hmm, don’t you think it’s unfair? “My immediate superiors knew all this and prepared in advance, but other trainees knew nothing.”

Of course, it was an unfair story.

Even though he knew that, Leonard was not impressed.

In the first place, life is rarely fair from beginning to end, and most of those who promise it are fraudsters.

Those in power had no choice but to hope that their children’s futures would be at least a little more prosperous, and it was not unusual for them to provide benefits to their immediate descendants whose potential was several times higher than that of other trainees.

‘It’s a much healthier way than letting incompetent and treacherous trash climb up the ranks.’

Because I needed to at least prove my skills.

Leonard thought so.

“… You look like an adult. Then, after listening to my explanation, you will understand more completely.”

Bruno added, admiring his opinion.

No matter how great and well-ordered the Cardenas family is, it is impossible to completely block the love for one’s own flesh and blood or self-interest. So, it was decided to establish some rules within the family and prohibit unauthorized help.

To interpret the words in reverse, it was like saying that ‘permitted help’ would not be specifically prohibited.

They let you know the training schedule a few days in advance.

It teaches you what the assigned number means.

Permission was granted at a minor but helpful level.

Rather than blocking it completely, it was left alone to preserve some degree of fairness.

“Among the rules established by the family, there are cases where trainees like you, without any help, took the top numbers.”

“… “What did you ask about earlier?”

“Yes, the questions were to check whether you had ever received help from anyone. “I’m sorry if I offended you.”

“no.”

Bruno said with a grin.

“I came from a branch and advanced to level 1 without receiving any help, so according to the regulations, I will receive more than three times the amount of training resources as the previous level 1. “Congratulate me in advance.”

“thank you.”

Leonard couldn’t help but be a little surprised by those words.

Three times the training resources!

Doesn’t this mean that even elixirs triple the quantity or quality? It was a reward that was enough to ease the minds of even children who were dissatisfied with the benefits they received from their direct relatives.

Bruno added a few more explanations and was about to turn,

“Senior instructor.”

“hmm?”

“What happens to this wolf?”

At Leonard’s question, Bruno, who could barely see him as a child, chuckled.

“ha ha ha! “Do you have feelings for me?”

“Well, it was cute. “I was in trouble one way or another.”

“do not worry. “I will stay as a watchdog in this forest, so I will not be disposed of or have anything to do with it.”

Leonard, a little relieved by the answer, asked.

“Can you give me a little time before I leave the forest?”

Bruno readily agreed.

“Don’t be too late. “Isn’t it okay for the hero of the day to be ruined?”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Nodding his head once at Leonard’s words, Bruno walked away faster than when he came.

Leonard caught a glimpse of the man who had disappeared out of sight in an instant and turned around. Perhaps because the person who had scared him had disappeared, the wolf stood up again and gently shook its tail.

However, his eyes were wet without knowing it.

“Don’t you want to break up too?”

The wolf answered with a yelp.

It wasn’t a long time, but in just a few days, I felt the wolf’s heart come to think of him as its own family.

The emotion of an animal is more pure than that of a human.

Even Leonard was momentarily shaken by that pitiful gaze.

“sorry. “We can’t go together right now.”

He said, “Kkngh,” and ruffled the hair of the wolf that lowered its head.

“I will become stronger. “If you want to meet me again someday and go with me, you too must become stronger.”

There will come a day when I leave this family and go out into the world.

At that time, Leonard would have become stronger than he is now, and a journey that a wolf raised for the purpose of testing trainees would not even dare to follow would begin.

So this promise had little chance of being kept.

“If I become strong enough to follow that journey. “That day, I will give you my own name.”

Leonard touched the top of the wolf’s head and closed his eyes.

Yeongsuchukyangjingyeol (畈獸畜養眞訣)

The secret, not the secret, of the Namman Beast Palace was the mental method imprinted on the body of a spirit creature when raising it.

In addition to having to do Jindo-in in the body of an animal, not a human, and if the animal’s intelligence is low and it cannot remember the way, no matter how hard you try, it could be in vain.

‘You only get one chance.’

With a body that had not built up internal energy, it was quite a burden just to draw in the natural energy and force it into the wolf’s body.

“… … “It’s big.”

Swallow the blood rising up your throat, look inside the wolf’s body, and imprint the flow of .

Until the wolf himself can lead the energy with the flow.

Turn your energy over and over again.

Nanman Beast Palace is not an idiot, so why didn’t he use this method on all the beasts? If you didn’t have spirit-level intelligence, it would be meaningless to try for 100,000 days.

and.

“Success, I see.”

Surprisingly, the wolf perfectly memorized the flow as soon as it went through the five rounds, and was able to circulate the energy without any problems even after Leonard let go.

Its intelligence was superior to that of most spiritual creatures.

Wow! Kkkkkkkk!

The wolf must have felt the power overflowing through its body, jumping up and down in place several times.

Jumping power alone has nearly doubled compared to before.

Considering that he had just entered the workforce, his combat ability would soon be at a level where he could single-handedly kill a low-level spirit.

“Don’t be lazy or arrogant, but practice consistently. “If you become wild or intoxicated with the taste of blood, I will kill you with my own hands.”

Wow!

“Don’t worry,” the wolf cried powerfully.

Leonard, who saw that, smiled and turned around.

The wolf quietly watched his back, and only when he was no longer visible did it raise its head and howl for a long time.

Awwwwww——… !

The two humans parted ways like that.

Promising a reunion that may or may not happen when.
