The Regressed Son of a Duke is an Assassin Chapter 5

Episode 5. The duke’s incompetent son (4)

After the interview, the Duke immediately returned to the front.

Although we had a hard time persuading him until the very end, we eventually succeeded in leaving room for him.

When I first said I wanted to go to the front, the duke treated me like I was crazy.

Well, I guess it’s not too much of a problem.

I want to go to a place where strange monsters run rampant because I don’t have any blood on my head.

In fact, I was glad that it ended on the crazy side.

Belias, the western territory of the empire.

At present, this is the only place on the entire continent called a ‘front line’.

It is not in contact with the same human territory, such as other kingdoms or foreign races.

The so-called habitat of different races, commonly known as the Demon World.

It is a continent inhabited by demons, an evil race that has been destroying and slaughtering since its inception, and Belias was the territory closest to such a dangerous land.

Among them, ‘Lemea Valley’, which can be said to be the front line, is a fierce battlefield where battles with demons have continued for hundreds of years, and fierce bloody battles are still going on every day.

An unknown world where you have no idea why you are crossing over or what lies beyond.

At this point, no one will know about it.

Except me.

“Oh my gosh!”

Emily hurriedly opened the door and came in.

I don’t know where on earth I came from, but I’m sweating like rain.

I didn’t care and continued with my strength training.

“S-is it true?!”

“what?”

“Whatever! “I heard you told the Duke that you wanted to go to the front lines?!”

Rumors are so fast.

There’s probably no one to spread it, so who’s talking about it?

“Oh, I did. I haven’t received full permission yet… … .”

Emily finally screamed with a shocked look on her face.

“Are you crazy, master? Are you saying you know where it is? “It’s a place full of scary demons?!”

To be exact, it is not a place filled with demons, but only demon beasts.

There is an illusion: there are no intelligent beings living in the Lemea Valley.

In other words, in this sense, only animals live, not people.

Well, right now, nothing is really known yet, so I’m using it without distinction.

It may not seem like a big deal, but this is a very important fact.

In other words, do we want other races out there to treat us like animals?

It’s the same context.

The reason I want to go to the front line is also to target demonic beasts, not demons.

“Well, then what happened? “If it wasn’t complete permission, did the Duke put any conditions on it?”

Anyway, you’re surprisingly quick to notice.

As she said, my father placed one condition on me.

one month.

Be qualified to go to Lemea Valley during the given month.

He said that if I did that, he would allow me to accompany him to the front line.

You haven’t said what those qualifications are yet… … .

“after… … .”

The moment the target count was reached, it spread.

Although it is really my body, I feel once again how weak I was at this time.

How on earth did I live in a body like this?

Emily brought me some water as I spread out on the floor.

“You really don’t suit me as a boy who works out.”

I wish I hadn’t said anything… … .

I’m still worried about how to lift this weak body right away.

If it’s the duke’s personality, I think he’ll probably prepare for another sparring.

I guess I want to see if I can survive when I encounter demonic beasts on the front line.

I think they’ll probably give a penalty to a high-ranking knight like Yulken and force them to spar… … .

Is it possible?

Honestly, I’m not bragging, it’s possible to have up to 10 senior knights instead of just one.

After all, I am a person who was part of the continent’s highest assassination group.

I remember all the secret techniques and techniques I acquired at the time, and I can still use them well.

The problem is that the power that can be used is limited.

There are still many things to check, but the penalty is too great to use the power of my previous life with this old-fashioned body.

If you use Biggi even once, your body will literally explode.

However, you can’t use magic.

It’s funny that at an age when he’s barely able to generate mana, he uses magic that can overpower high-ranking knights.

I already confirmed last night through mana sensitivity that the mana and magic power I had honed in my previous life remained in my body.

Of course, the energy is now hidden so that others cannot see it.

Actually, not everyone does this… … .

Anyway, I couldn’t show it to others without permission until I entered the academy and figured out what the appropriate attributes were.

In other words, the only thing I can show you is swordsmanship.

I have to beat a high-ranking knight with strength that can’t even lift a vase.

Well, honestly, there’s nothing I can’t do… … ,

Anyway, in order to increase the odds, you need to increase your strength as much as possible within the given time.

I resumed exercising by taking up the push-up position again.

– Roaring Roaring

“Is it noisy outside? “Has anyone come?”

At least the soldiers in the territory will change shifts, but that is nothing to worry about right now.

I continued exercising regardless.

Emily, unable to contain her curiosity, went outside to check.

I feel like I can finally exercise quietly.

“… … .”

Has it been about 5 minutes?

Urgent footsteps are heard from the end of the hallway.

Even though I was exercising, I unconsciously listened to the sound.

A knight’s steps are not heavy,

Judging from the thinness and lightness of the steps, they look like women’s steps, but they’re not too careful, right?

This isn’t something for a noble like a duchess, and if that’s the case, then there’s only Emily, so why are they rushing in so quickly?

Height is about 170 and weight is about 55… … .

Isn’t this enough for a maid’s steps?

Emily is much stockier than that, so she can’t walk like this.

Who is it?

This is like a powerful heroine… … .

“draft!”

I lost my posture at the grandly opened door.

A strange woman strides inside.

The moment I saw her face, I was completely entranced.

“Eh, Sister Elise?”

I was lost for a moment, but then she grabbed my shoulders and shook me back and forth.

“Are you crazy? You told your father you wanted to go to the front? “Do you know where it is?”

“Nu, sister, let’s leave this for now… … .”

It was such a sudden meeting that I felt very dazed.

“I was wondering what was going on because I thought I beat Kranz, what on earth were you thinking?!”

I was rocking back and forth against my will, so there was nothing I could do about it.

What kind of situation is this?

Why is Elise here?

Blue eyes filled with various emotions were looking at me.

This warm touch was by no means an illusion.

The day comes when I meet my sister again… … .

Even though I was clearly being scolded, my face was full of smiles.

My sister tilts her head at that sight.

“Are you sick, Sian?”

He shook his head and said.

“I’m just glad to see you… … .”

She tilted her head for a moment, then smiled and stroked my head.

“Yes, I am glad to see you. I couldn’t come for a while because I was busy preparing for graduation. “I’m glad you look healthy, though.”

One year.

It may have been just a year for her, but for me it was a reunion after decades.

The second child of the dukedom, and a woman who was evaluated as the next generation head of the family along with her eldest son, Eshel.

As an incompetent child, the only family I could rely on.

She was also the only woman I wanted to protect in my past life.

“When did you come to the mansion?”

“Just before. After you graduate, it will be even harder to come home. “I came here once before.”

My older sister’s current age is seventeen.

After six years of academy life, I was about to graduate.

This is what my family, and indeed the world, called my older sister.

God’s child.

At the Royal Academy, where the continent’s greatest geniuses gather, including swordsmanship, magic, and academics, he achieved an unprecedented S grade in all subjects.

Unlike me, who was an incompetent child, she was a genius with versatile abilities who could do anything.

In addition, her appearance was so beautiful that she was revered as a goddess, so she was worthy of being called the child of God.

Although he was about two years older than his eldest son, Eshel, within the family, he was considered a candidate to lead the family along with him as the next generation head of the family.

Actually, the person concerned was not interested at all.

“Oh, by the way, what happened to you saying you wanted to go to the front? “Did you really ask your father that?”

“Yes, that’s right, but… … “Where on earth did you hear that story?”

“Well, that’s not important!

My sister was avoiding answering.

Meanwhile, I made eye contact with Emily, who was peeking through the door.

Looking at her expression, I knew right away that she was the culprit.

She really seems like a tactless maid… … .

“I wanted to experience many things before entering the academy. “I thought the front line was the closest and the place where I could feel a lot of things.”

The Bert family’s mansion is located in the easternmost part of the territory.

It is the furthest place from the Lemea Valley, the front line.

This location selection was definitely made at the duke’s command.

In any case, the purpose was to allow the family to reside within the territory while creating a situation where they could retreat immediately if an emergency occurred where the front line was breached.

First of all, like the duke, I gave the best answer I could.

However, my older sister had a strange expression on her face after hearing the answer.

“Xian, do you really want to continue the family legacy?”

* * *

A late night with the sun setting and the moon rising.

As the night fog thickened, a chill chill hung over Dalian.

“Do we really have to do this?”

“Don’t complain, Sian! “It’s all to test you!”

It’s not like jogging on a moonlit night, so what are you doing?

Even though the sparring with Krantz was only half a day ago, the same situation was unfolding.

And with a sword in his hand.

“I think your desire to carry on the family legacy is admirable. But there are some things that can be done with just the mind and some that cannot. “I think this is my ordeal to overcome my father’s ordeal.”

maintenance of the family.

In other words, it is to protect the peace of the continent from demons.

I’m telling you this many times, I have no intention of ever doing something like that again.

My desire to go to the front has nothing to do with that.

However, since I couldn’t tell the truth, I just said ‘yes’.

I had no idea that he would open his arms like that and ask to spar with me.

“The ordeal is simple. You can either hold on to my sword for three minutes from now, or aim your sword at my neck before then. “If either one succeeds, I’ll send you to the front lines.”

Simply put, they’re just saying they’ll never send it to you.

First of all, it came out of nowhere, but I had no idea what to do.

Can you withstand a swordsmanship sparring against a S-rank child of God in all subjects at the Royal Academy?

As someone who has just started strength training… … .

It’s very easy.

Honestly, I could have finished it as soon as I started.

Not only is it clear how to dig in, but the body has already become smaller, making movements lighter.

But what would happen if that were the case?

Since Krantz is the same age, there is no problem in winning or losing, but he is an adult who is seven years older than him.

Can you defeat her in one go, even though she has completed all the professional training at the Royal Academy?

This is something that is impossible to imagine.

There’s no need to mention the possibility to anyone, you just have to lose.

If you win without thinking, your talent will no longer be enough to cover it up.

“Now, the moment you draw your sword, it starts right away! “Pick it out quickly!”

under… … .

Well, I guess Alice doesn’t really intend to attack me either.

I will give it a moderate amount of attention just to test my skills.

If you take your time and take your time, I think you will be able to get over it.

The moment I pulled out my sword thinking something would work out,

“… … !”

The tip of her sword darted in and aimed for my neck in an instant.

-visor!

Although I blocked it without a problem, I could feel it right away the moment I experienced the first blow.

This sister, I honestly have no intention of looking at you… … .
