Chapter 387
The moment you are born, everything is decided. There are people who have limits on what they can do and what they can achieve in their lives, while there are people who do not have those limits.
If you are not born with status, you must be born with talent.
So what is innate is the whole of the human being.
Liberto de Gardenia thinks so.
It was only natural that Liberto, the first in line for succession to the royal throne of the Kingdom of Gardenia and the most gifted in the history of the Gardenia royal family, would be immersed in such thoughts.
Although it is not as strong as Kernstadt, which is said to be the most powerful empire, Gardenia is also one of the powerful countries with formidable prestige, so Liberto, who is certain to be the next king, is of a very high status.
Temple, that is, regardless of status, entered the royal class that only the best talent can enter, and even there, when he was given A-1, which is the number 1 in the talent hierarchy among the same grade, Liverto said he was the first in the world. There was no doubt that he was a talent to be counted and a king’s timber.
‘Would you like to get hit from behind?’
Even until it suddenly exploded with a 2nd year senior.
Liberto thought he had acted quite gentlely. If the royal class is ranked by talent rather than status, then you are at the top of the status assigned to that talent. No matter how class A they are, they cannot be the same.
No matter how senior he was, he thought that he had answered in a very polite way, given that he had given at least an honorific title to the 11th subject.
But what came back was violence.
Liberto never thought that he was rude. The mere fact that a boy who had lived in a palace and treated everyone except the king with respect to someone was saying everything, even if that person was a commoner.
It was beaten by something like number 11, and also by a commoner. Just for the reason that he is a senior who came in a year before him.
At the time of the meeting, I was asked if I would really do it properly without knowing it, and I said no, but Liverto regretted it.
I should have been able to show that cheeky commoner the swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Gardenia.
Winning a freshman tournament? Liberto didn’t know what winning the tournament meant. Because he couldn’t even see it himself.
So, if that cheeky commoner started another fight, he was willing to step on it. Senior or something, he said he would show the true nature of the swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Gardenia.
Not to mention restoring your rumpled face and honor… … .
“What is it, Yari?”
“Oh, no.”
“Roll your eyes softly, you’re going to make noise, bastard.”
– tuk tuk
Reinhardt bumped into Liverto while passing by and patted him on the cheek, but he was frozen and unable to say anything.
what a person is
Apart from the attitude, the fear imprinted in the bones cannot be easily overcome.
With twin wicks lit in his eyes, Liverto glared at Reinhardt’s back as if he was nothing, even rudely slapped him on the cheek.
“!”
Then, suddenly, when Reinhardt looked back, he covered his eyes with lightning speed.
“If you’re going to open it, open it.”
Reinhardt said that with a smile, probably because the back of his head also had eyes.
“Just do one, kid.”
This time, Liberto couldn’t even look at Reinhardt’s back properly.
* * *
To Liberto de Gardenia, Reinhardt, a senior in his second year, was nothing more than a rude commoner who had gathered from the first day and made himself a fan.
However, my classmates seemed to think differently.
“You know that senior from last time.”
“Oh that… … . Senior Reinhardt?”
“Yes, that person.”
It was such a strong impression, so although the seniors I actually met were Ellen, Harriet, and Reinhardt, the impression of Reinhardt I saw for the first time remained very strong in everyone’s memory.
Grade 1 A-7, Sicilla von Gleione.
She was the daughter of the Earl of Gleione, who studied for a very long time from Temple Elementary School. He was also a classmate who recognized Reinhardt as well as Harriet and Ellen.
Talents are Spearmanship and Mana Induction. She, too, possessed the most outstanding talents and qualities among her combat majors.
Sicilla was sitting and chatting with other classmates in the freshman year lobby. Liberto pretended not to listen and stealthily listened to the girls’ stories.
I don’t think it’s stealing. He just thinks that the story just naturally flows into his ears.
“Honestly, aren’t you handsome?”
At Sicilla’s words, Liverto suppressed the urge to get up from his seat and held back.
What on earth is that guy who looks like a parasitic brother so handsome?!
Liberto, who had praised it in his heart, held back the heat from bursting out.
“okay… … ? I was so scared then… … .”
“I think it looked scary… … .”
It was A-3 Rosrie and A-10 Cardina Ain who answered. When they saw the senior they saw for the first time terribly stepping on Liverto, they were so scared that they remembered their first impression very frighteningly.
“No, it was only at that time. I wonder if the impression is something like that… … ?”
Since the first impression she saw during the tournament was more important to Sicilla, it was clear that Reinhardt was more important to her than being her senior.
Even his major is close combat.
“Your skills are amazing! You’ve already been able to strengthen magical powers that even 3rd years can’t do since 1st year? I saw it myself.”
“really… … ?”
strengthening power.
At those words, Liberto’s thoughts seemed to stop.
It is a high-level combat skill that even the many talented people who have picked and picked can not learn even if they train for more than 10 years. I was able to do that already in first grade.
Liberto felt like shouting out not to lie.
“I want to get to know… … .”
At Sicilla’s airy words, Liberto’s already twisted judgment felt even more twisted.
“I thought you already became friends with Lucinil?”
The unique silver-haired girl who skipped grades and was number 11 in the first year almost lived in a second-year dormitory.
“therefore… … . How did you do it? I’ll ask later.”
Reinhardt.

Just hearing the name made Liverto sick.
I want to feed you somehow.
Enhancing magic power? He must have done some dirty tricks. Receiving full support from the royal family, he ate all the good things that were good for his body, and even he, who had trained in the best environment, could not have realized the magic enhancement that even he had not realized.
Liverto vows to uncover Reinhardt’s filthy identity someday.
A few days later, Liberto headed to the main auditorium of the Temple Headquarters for the weekend.
He said he was looking for the owner of Alsbringer.
It wasn’t that I didn’t have the slightest expectation that it might be me.
What should I do if I become the owner of Alsbringer?
It was an honor for this holy relic to choose me because I was a descendant of Gardenia, but I was worried if I should say no because I had to prioritize the duties of the royal descendant inevitably. After that, he wondered how to resolve the uncomfortable relationship with the Church of Als politically.
Well, you can do as much as you think about it, and you can’t do anything that has no possibility.
Liberto was even thinking about that.
Having made that decision, Liberto de Gardenia faced an unbelievable sight.
“… … .”
– Woo woo woo
Seeing Reinhardt chosen by Alsbringer, he couldn’t help but think that something was very wrong.
-Alsbringer… … .
– Reinhardt… … .
-Alsbringer’s choice… … .
There was a lot of noise around.
However, as he watched the scene, Riverto felt something out of place in the expression of his unlucky senior, Reinhardt.
I was chosen as a saint.
however.
like.
It was the expression of a person who seemed to be facing something he hated.
Reinhardt’s expression hardened in front of the great honor of being chosen as a sacred object.
Seeing Reinhardt’s expression, Liverto couldn’t help but feel it.
The intuition that that person is a different being, qualitatively different from oneself.
* * *
The warrior’s sword, Alsbringer.
An item that can summon Ars, the god of war. However, the price must be paid with life. Lagann Artorius summoned the god of war and defeated the demon king, and he lost his life in return.
There are two sacred objects that appeared in the original work.
Only Lament and Alsbringer. Ellen’s sword, Lament, was an extremely sharp sword with the same effect as an Aura Blade. Ellen was unable to draw out the true power of the relic.
Alsbringer’s true power is to summon the War God. If you put it that way, Alsbringer is a sacred object, but it’s out of balance because it’s an overly powerful object by itself. That’s why the setting was added that Lament also has true power, but Ellen just couldn’t bring it out.
I know as much as Alsbringer.
Saturday.
The main hall of the main building where all the royal class are gathered.
There weren’t too many people.
The imperial family is now trying to find a new owner for Alsbringer.
Its owner may not be selected from among members of the Royal Class. If so, I’ll try to find the owner elsewhere.
“In the current situation where the Demon King’s forces are acting secretly, the empire needs a new hero. Something like that might come out of the students here.”
The emperor said so while standing in the auditorium, looking at all the royal class.
“If the owner of Alsbringer is decided here, you will have to keep it a complete secret. The Demon King will try to get rid of the next owner of Alsbringer before he becomes a concubine.”
Trying to find a new owner for Alsbringer.
And, if the owner is found, its existence must be kept in strict secrecy.
The tension on everyone’s faces was bound to be young. It is to realize that the name of the devil is close enough to touch the skin.
That’s why the empire was looking for promising new warriors or armed groups like the Knights or the Royal Class, and was going to try to find a new hero.
That’s why there were only a handful of people, including the Emperor and the high-ranking priests of the Church of Als, as well as less than two hundred people in total, including all members of the Royal Class.
The processes were complex.
But the results are right in front of you.
I was floating in the air, watching Alsbringer waiting for me to hold it.
Everyone was watching me, who had been chosen by Alsbringer.
It had to be Ludwig’s.
Originally, this should have chosen Ludwig.
If I say no, will Alsbringer choose another owner?
If I refuse, Alsbringer may accept my rejection and go to another owner.
It is very likely Ludwig.
that.
What is different from asking Ludwig to die instead of me?
Ludwig doesn’t know what Alsbringer’s true power is, but he will naturally know it when the time comes.
The phrase engraved on Alsbringer’s blade was shining brightly.
[It will be done through sacrifice.]
Alsbringer’s keyword is sacrifice.
Actually, this was to be expected.
this sword.
Alsbringer.
Because this sword is such a sword that only those who can die for the world choose as its master.
everyone is looking at me
Some are jealous, some are astonished, and some are in such gazes as if they admit it.
– Flash!
I grabbed the sword of the god of war. The radiant sword of the God of War was pouring out fierce brilliance as if it recognized me as its owner.
– clap clap clap clap
Emperor.
The soft applause of Nelliod de Gradias echoed through the auditorium.
Soon followed by numerous applause from others.
The situation was very ironic.
Alsbringer.
If you have to ask.
I was chosen by the thing that killed my father.
* * *
It will be kept a secret that I became the owner of Alsbringer. But I don’t know if that secret will be properly kept. However, a strict mutiny order was issued to all those present at the scene.
Because I might be killed by the Demon King, the Empire will have to keep this secret strictly, and the Royal Class students who watched this scene will be asked to keep it strictly a secret.
Without knowing that it was the demon king who was chosen by Alsbringer.
Anyway, he hid the fact that he was the owner of Tiamata, but many people now know that he became the owner of Alsbringer.
It’s not official, but I’ve become the person chosen by the sacred object.
It was a natural process, but I had no choice but to meet alone with the emperor, who personally observed the ceremony to find the owner of Alsbringer.
“The owner of the two sacred objects.”
The emperor was looking at me with a solemn expression.
“I don’t know if a hero greater than Lagann Artorius is in front of me.”
Lagann Artorius also had two holy relics, but in the fight against the demon king, he only had one.
I couldn’t reply to the emperor’s calm words.
In fact, Ellen also has two holy relics, but she didn’t tell me about them.
The emperor put his hand on my shoulder. It would have been a great honor for him to touch my body himself.
“Reinhardt.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“… … .”
He just looked me in the eyes and didn’t say anything for a while. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t seem to get his mouth to come out.
finish
“… … You have become too important to ask for personal favors.”
He smiled bitterly, not answering what he was trying to say.
“I ask for the future of mankind.”
It’s not like he intentionally didn’t say the word empire.
the future of mankind.
okay.
Beyond that, the future of the world.
that’s what i want
“Somehow, I will try.”
A nuclear weapon was placed in my hand.
Although it is a nuclear weapon that must be used with my own life.
The fact that it is nuclear does not change.
* * *
After encouraging me, the emperor quietly returned to the palace. A huge incident happened, but as if nothing had happened.
As if nothing really happened, the people gathered in the main building dispersed, and I went back to the Royal Class dormitory.
“I don’t know if this is something to celebrate.”
“I think it’s a headache. You already have one holy relic.”
“therefore.”
Ellen seemed to think that being the owner of Alsbringer wasn’t such a good thing. Of course, it’s nice to have one holy relic, but it seemed like they thought it might be a problem that other people knew about it.
After Ellen said that, she said something very nonsensical.
“For now, talk to me later, then go see Harriet.”
“Why are you upset?”
“I am crying.”
what?
why is he crying all of a sudden?
Are you moved to cry? Saying that our Reinhardt was chosen as a sacred object?
Why?
but.
The reality was completely different.
“Ughhh!”
When I went to my room, Harriet blindly hugged me and burst into tears.
“Don’t do anything, don’t do anything. huh? Ugh! Ugh!”
ah.
To Harriet, the Holy Relic had a different meaning.
Harriet doesn’t know that I have Tiamata.
Since I became the owner of the sacred object, I felt inevitably that I had to fight the demon lord.
i think i will die
I was crying because I was afraid.
“scared… … . I’m so scared, Reinhard… … . Ugh! Black! Hehe!”
“no… … . What kind of death is this?”
“still… … . still… … .”
As Harriet was held in my arms, she sobbed endlessly as if the world would collapse.
“I won’t die.”
“Lord, if you die… … . can’t die Understand? He said he was fighting the demon king. I’m just messing around then no. Understand? Promise. Promise… … .”
“okay. why do i do that uh? Because you won’t die.”
“Black… … . Me, I’m getting stronger too… … . Sure, you… … . I will protect you… … .”
“Yes, yes.”
I became the owner of a sacred object that would kill me if I drew out its true power.
i won’t die
He comforted Harriet.
* * *
If this was a public event, there would have been a lot of uproar, and it was a big event that the name Reinhardt should have spread to every corner of the continent.
However, because the timing was the timing, it was quiet even after Alsbringer chose a new owner.
Even inside the Royal Class dormitory, talking about Alsbringer was strictly forbidden. My teachers strictly enforced my mouth, and the eyes of seniors and juniors looking at me became awe-inspiring, as they looked at a being of another dimension.
Of course, even though it’s strictly forbidden, you can share as much as you want to.
Olivia also came to visit me.
“… … .”
Now that I have become the owner of the sacred object, I have no choice but to believe that the demon king and I are destined to fight. As Harriet is, so is Olivia.
Olivia gently hugged me. Knowing why, she couldn’t push her away this time.
Olivia stroked my hair.
Olivia is saved by the devil. That’s why she, Olivia, would be in trouble if the demon lord and I were to fight. Olivia, she said, because now she doesn’t seem to hate the Demon King at all.
“I am on your side.”
“… … .”
“I’m on your side no matter what.”
If I had to fight the demon lord, it seemed like I was ready to become the enemy of the demon lord who saved me.
But those words give me a completely different resonance now.
“I know.”
Olivia Ranze.
Even if she knows that I am the Demon King, she will be by my side.
* * *
The way everyone looked at me changed little by little.
It is no different from taking something that should have belonged to Ludwig, but Ludwig does not know that Alsbringer should have originally belonged to him.
To be honest, I don’t even have much self-consciousness about stealing it.
If I tell this to someone who is ready to sacrifice for humanity at any time, it might use it against me.
For Ludwig and for me, it is right that I become the owner of this.
“I’ll try my best too, so I can be of any help to you.”
“okay.”
Those were Ludwig’s words.
“you… … . That’s really great.”
Those were Cliff’s words.
“If you kill the demon king, I can marry you.”
“What bullshit?”
“Anyway, let’s not die. both of us.”
Riana looked at me and out of the blue threw out those words and patted me on the shoulder as she passed by.
“That’s great, Reinhardt. Even Alsbringer chose you.”
Charlotte congratulated me with a bright smile, probably thinking that becoming stronger couldn’t be a bad thing.
and.
“The owner of the two sacred objects.”
On the terrace, Bertus looked at me and said that.
I thought I’d find out someday. As Bertus always did, he already knew.
