Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 65

Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Swordsmith (65)

After leaving the training room, the two went straight to Zephyrus Hall and requested the rental of a space used to discuss employment and contracts.

Because the space was plastered with the magic tower’s soundproofing magic, could not eavesdrop on the conversation there.

As soon as I entered the conversation room, Ninian kissed my lips.

“I remembered. If it’s ‘Aquamarine’, wasn’t it an adventure group that was demoted to B rank 8 years ago when most of its members were killed? “So you’ve started full-fledged activities again?”

“okay.”

“According to rumors, there are rumors that he has a falling out with the ‘United Council’ and that he is also on bad terms with ‘Moby Dick.’ “Did you come here with the intention of recruiting me to that place?”

“It’s just as you said.”

Leonard calmly agreed to her words.

Despite the negative comments being made about ‘Aquamarine’, the light in Ninian’s eyes has not yet gone out.

‘Is this going to lower the Aquamarine Adventure Team’s evaluation and negotiate in a more advantageous position? ‘That’s a very honest method.’

In the first place, just looking at Ninian’s personal details, it turns out that his speaking skills were not outstanding. Speech tends to be largely proportional to sociability and affability, and if you are of mixed elven blood, you are bound to be shunned in human society.

While working as an adventurer, she may have seen her own negotiations and negotiations, but putting that experience to use was another story.

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of engaging in your nonsense.”

Leonard, who cut off Ninian’s words, shot back.

“Needless to say more, the Aquamarine Adventurers are in a bad situation in many ways. Neither the nor takes our side. “If you can’t get out on your own, this is a ship that will sink to the bottom.”

“then.”

“Isn’t that the same for you too?”

With one word from him, Ninian’s mood suddenly changed.

A thick, lifelike energy emanates from the only pupil, spreading as if coloring the entire room.

However, since weapons are not allowed in the chat room, the two were bare-handed. Otherwise, Ninian would have taken out his bow and aimed at Leonard instead of just unleashing his deadly force.

I might not have been able to bear it all and fired one shot. Regardless of what the outcome would have been.

“… … “What do you know about me?”

To Ninian’s questioning, he answered with a calm expression.

“I don’t know anything.”

“what?”

She looked stunned for a moment at Leonard’s honest words, but then her eyes returned sharply and she shouted.

Because it was not something someone who knew nothing could say.

“Do not be ridiculous! “Are you trying to fool me, human?”

Take a step closer and extend your fingertips.

The intention was to grab his collar, throw him hard on the floor, and strangle him to get an answer.

However, Ninian was greatly mistaken.

It didn’t even matter how many levels of mana training I had or whether I had a weapon or not.

There was no chance of her beating Leonard at this interval.

Quang!

Until it spun halfway in the air and fell to the ground, Ninian could not understand anything about what had happened.

“Oops!”

The lungs, which had been pushed up by the impact of the fall, vomited out air.

If Leonard had hit him properly, his ribs would have been shattered and his lungs would have been pierced, causing fatal injuries. Because he slowed down just in the nick of time, he ended up with a simple bruise.

“An outsider should not carelessly touch the body of an unmanned person.”

It was the Geumnasu (擒拏手) and Chiljeolsubeop (七絶手法) of the Jeomchang school.

If you fail to respond to the seven breaks, you will lose the flow of power.

‘It’s useless if it’s so fast that you can’t go in to cut it off, or if the power is so strong that cutting it itself doesn’t work.’

Ninian’s case was neither.

Even if I attacked him a hundred times, I was able to throw them all away a hundred times. Even with a bow, I was confident that I would win, but with bare hands, I could easily defeat it even if I could only use one hand.

The B-class adventurer was no stranger either.

Even though it wasn’t a proper competition, Ninian’s complexion turned pale as he realized the gap with his opponent. If he continues to fight in this state, he will not be able to last even a few seconds and will be beaten to death.

“Get up.”

said Leonard, who knocked her out with one throw.

“I meant to provoke you, so I’ll skip this time. “If you try to attack me again, I will break a limb or two first.”

“… Stimulation? “Have you tried to betray me?”

“okay.”

Ninian raised his upper body and glared at him.

My lower body still didn’t have enough strength.

“What I found out before coming to you was that you were saving all the profits you earned as an adventurer. As if accepting requests every single day wasn’t enough, I was also saving money on equipment and consumables. “Why?”

“… … .”

“There’s no reason to save on equipment and supplies if it’s for yourself. If the rumor that they have elf blood is true, their concept of time would be very different from that of humans. But moving hastily means that there are more urgent circumstances than that.”

Leonard’s guess, which quickly got closer to the truth with only a few clues, was enough to send shivers down even Ninian’s spine.

The inference is completed using even her reaction as a clue.

“You are not acquainted with anyone in this city. It means distrusting all humans living here. You are saving money for someone else, not for yourself. “If you put all the stories together, the conclusion is very simple and clear.”

The person Ninian is trying to save by saving money is a new soldier who has been deceived and detained by someone in this city. This meant that either someone had demanded a huge amount of money, or that a rescue attempt could only be attempted if that amount of money had been raised.

Ninian, whose true feelings were revealed, looked up at him with a devastated expression.

“… … You did very well. so? “What more can you say after revealing my secret?”

“I should have told you my business from the beginning.”

“A recommendation from the Aquamarine Adventure Team? “Is that really the point?”

If that was going to be the case, there was no need to go this far, Leonard declared with a glaring attitude.

“Aquamarine cannot afford to trust anyone right now. In that case, we have no choice but to build trust first and then let them join.”

“what?”

“The reason you don’t ask anyone for help is because, like the Aquamarine Adventurers, the other party’s power is too strong. We’ll solve that problem for you, so become a member of the Aquamarine Adventure Team. “That was the offer I came to give you.”

Ninian forgot what to say for a moment and quietly looked into Leonard’s crimson eyes.

As if she was trying to see through the true meaning hidden within, she met her gaze fiercely and closed and opened one eye.

“… “How can I trust you?”

“You don’t have to trust me. Just remember that the Aquamarine Adventure Team needs new members, and you need help.”

“Is it a matter of interest? “There is no end to human cunning.”

“Are you confident in accepting favors without reason?”

Ninian smiled bitterly at what Leonard said.

“No. I accept your offer. “If you can solve the problem I am currently facing, I will join the Aquamarine Adventure Group.”

“I will write a contract.”

“good.”

Although it is less than a formal contract, the binding force of a simple contract is considerable. The two people read the simply written contract and dropped a drop of blood on the signature line.

Ugh.

It was evidence that was very easy and simple to make, showing that Leonard and Ninian had agreed to the contract. Even for a great wizard, it was impossible to touch or cancel a contract once it was completed.

It was decided that Leonard would be in charge of keeping the simple contract.

“Now it’s your turn to tell your story.”

Ninian sat across from Leonard again, chose his words, and soon began to talk.

It was a detailed record of life spanning several decades.

* * *

Ninian, a half-elf, had been unhappy since childhood.

Her mother was captured by slave traders outside the forest and sold to an unknown nobleman, and only after she managed to escape and return to her hometown did she realize that she was pregnant.

It wasn’t so harsh that they spewed out resentment on the unborn baby or blamed the unborn child.

―I’m sorry, I can’t love you.

Her mother was crying, saying that every time she saw Ninian, the pain in her memories came back.

There was nothing wrong with her, but I still couldn’t hide that I was sad and hurt because of you.

Was that why?

The forest elves ostracized Ninian, who had human blood mixed in, as a hybrid, and although she did not have any inconveniences in food, clothing, or shelter, she also did not develop affection with others. She grew older, letting sadness and pain flow away like leaves swaying in the wind.

The thing that added color to Ninian’s otherwise dull life was thanks to her younger sister.

-sister! Sister Ninian!

―… … Why do you call me sister?

-huh? I call you sister because you’re my sister! Sister, you idiot!

-You are the fool. I don’t have a sister.

-It’s not! My mom said she was my sister!

―… what?

Our fathers were different, but our mothers were the same.

They were half sisters.

Unlike Ninian, whose ears were only half grown, her younger sister Vivian’s ears were those of a full-fledged elf.

His mother, who could not approach Ninian due to trauma, and his father, who shared that pain. Unlike them, Vivian continued to follow Ninian with an innocent look on her face.

Vivian was the only one who liked her, who no one liked, even herself.

-sister! Let’s climb up to that mountain peak today!

-I can’t use elemental magic like you. It’s a mixed breed.

-They said hybrid was a bad word! What if I can’t use elemental magic? You can go up there holding hands with me!

―… I can’t win against you.

The goodness that crushed all the thorns that had unintentionally protruded, and the warm approach like the spring sunlight melted away the sorrow and pain that had been building up inside Ninian.

Thanks to Vivian’s presence, Ninian gained the strength to live again and the courage to try life outside the forest.

―If you need my help, call me anytime, Vivian.

-Sister, why are you leaving?

-Because you are the only person here who likes me. I’m going to find people I love and can be loved by, and I’m going to tell your story. When that day comes, I will come see you again.

It was painful to leave Vivian, who was crying for the first time, but Ninian did not stop walking.

As I left the forest, which was as familiar as looking into the palm of my hand, a mountain of hard and difficult tasks came to me. Sleeping on the side of the road and lighting a bonfire for the first time. Having to force myself to eat food that didn’t suit my taste was all difficult.

The difficulty of living as a half-elf in human society was beyond imagination. Some people coveted her beauty, while others tried to find out her hometown.

It would have been dangerous if Ninian had not been able to overcome the external force realm from his hometown due to his talent in mana practice.

―It is said that the Arcadian Empire does not discriminate against sub-races… . It’s too far to stop by once. If you want to use the Space Gate, you will have to focus only on making money for a few years.

This happened after dozens of years had passed since I left my hometown forest, a considerable number of years even in the lifespan of a half-elf.

Some news arrived from Vivian.

It was an advanced elemental art of the wind that could convey the voice of a family member related by blood even hundreds of kilometers away. Ninian was delighted with the contact and heard Vivian’s voice.

―… … Atlantis, Maritime Alliance!

As soon as I heard her desperate request for help, I left the house and ran towards Atlantis.

Even though it was only a small amount with an 8th level external force mirror, it was still a long distance even with the use of wind elemental techniques. It took several months to get to the beach, and I finally found a boat to get to Atlantis and search for Vivian.

and.

―Vivian!

-ok? What is this bitch?

I encountered the A-rank adventure group ‘Santa Maria’, who were abusing my lovely younger sister with fraudulent contracts.
