Episode 28. The road to the tower
Since time immemorial, a famous sword shines as if it was reborn when exposed to fire, even if time passes.
Grumbling.
‘Like this guy right now.’
Let’s put the rusty sword we bought from the weapons dealer into the fire. The blade glowed as if it were filled with flames and took on its original appearance.
Just a little while ago, I thought I wouldn’t be able to use my teeth because of them, but I never thought it would recover so quickly.
“how is it? “Master.”
Siegfried raised his thumb as if satisfied. The smile on his lips showed just how outstanding this sword was.
“Do you know how great a sword he is?”
“well.”
“That’s one of the seven famous swords created by humans in the past to kill gods. “It contains a curse so strong that ordinary humans cannot handle it.”
“curse?”
“Yes, they say that anyone who uses that sword will die from exhaustion. But what… . “You don’t have any problems now, right?”
I answered, looking at the brilliantly shining blade of the sword.
“Yes. By the way, this sword was made to kill gods?”
“Yes, the name of that sword is ‘Misteltein’. “He is said to be the best among famous swordsmen.”
Know.
Because I’ve heard about this in my past life. But I looked puzzled as if I was hearing it for the first time.
“That was a great item. But why was that sword in a place like this?”
“Misteltein wanders the continent on his own, looking for someone to become his master.”
“A sword?”
“Yes, just as it was originally created. “He’s a guy who keeps wandering around trying to kill God.”
“ah… .”
“But how did you know this sword was there?”
“I just got a feeling.”
“persimmon?”
“Yes, I think there is a good sword here. And Master will be able to find the sword. “A feeling like this?”
This sense was triggered in a past life.
I had a similar conversation with Siegfried back then. Siegfried also had the same reaction.
“Awesome guy, you are the ghost, not me.”
Of course, I could not become the master of this sword at that time.
At the time, I came here when I was over 15 years old, and the reason I came here to buy a sword was to give it to Brother Gunther as a gift.
‘I regretted it.’
Why on earth did I hand this sword over to Gunther? I was so stupid back then.
If I had known he was trying to kill me, I would never have done him any favors.
‘Well, it’s in the past, so let’s not think too much about it.’
Anyway, in this life, I am the owner of Misteltein.
I smiled brightly and answered.
“I will take it as a compliment.”
“That’s right. By the way, is this your first time handling a sword this big? “I’ll take a look, so why don’t you take a swing now?”
“Yes, Master.”
I swung a sword as long as my body in the air.
Boom- Boom-
The blade is too long, making it difficult to swing properly.
Of course, it is not that difficult to handle for a two-handed sword, but my current body is too short to use this sword, which is designed for an adult.
“It’s uncomfortable.”
“It has to be that way. “Even just with the blade, it’s much longer than your arm is now.”
“But I’m glad it’s not heavy.”
“It’s not heavy?”
“Yes, it’s much lighter than a training sword, isn’t it?”
It’s not a joke, it’s true.
There was no strain on the hand, as if swinging a bamboo sword. It felt even lighter than the dagger I received from Valentine.
“No way.”
“It’s true.”
“… “Then it seems that the sword chose you as its master.”
“Me as your master?”
“Yeah, well, it’s not something we can talk about, so I can’t say anything exactly. “The fact that it feels light means that the master and the sword communicated with each other.”
I held Misteltain above my head. As expected, it didn’t feel heavy even when I was in this position.
‘The famous sword Misteltein.’
Did you really choose me as your master?
Boom.
After swinging the sword again.
Crash.
He inserted the blade into the scabbard attached to his back.
“Master, would you like to use my body for the first time in a while?”
* * *
-Wow!
A cheer rang out in the arena.

The crowd held green flags above their heads and waved them vigorously.
“Pereira! Ferreira! Ferreira!”
Everyone cheered for the same person.
As their voices began to get louder, five men wearing black cloaks appeared from the entrance to one side of the arena.
Turf, plod, trudge.
“It’s noisy.”
One of them lifted his hood. The green-haired Ferreira, a knight directly under the Bourbon family, raised his index finger to his lips as if making a fuss.
-Waaaa!
The audience cheered even louder.
“Hahaha!”
The person next to Ferreira lifted his hood. A plump woman with long green hair held her stomach and laughed.
“Why do those guys like you so much? “The only thing he knows how to do is fight.”
“Shut up, Nunes. “I’m smarter than you.”
“Oh, is that so? So you said the North Pole is colder than the South Pole?”
“That is true. “The North Pole is colder than the South Pole.”
“Isn’t it true? You stone-headed knight. “I heard Antarctica is colder than the North Pole?”
“It’s the North Pole!”
“Antarctica!”
Thump, thump, thump.
A large man wearing a black cloak approached and whispered.
“Shut up you idiots. “If you’re that curious, shouldn’t we both go?!”
Ferreira and Nunes answered simultaneously.
“sorry.”
“sorry.”
“Stupid guys.”
Puuuuu!
As the person in the center of the stadium blew his horn, five people wearing black cloaks gathered in the center.
And five other knights who had arrived first and were waiting for them politely bowed their heads in respect.
“I am said to be an Orca of the Foxtail Knights.”
“It’s called Pereira.”
“Nice to meet you, Lord Ferreira. “It is an honor to meet someone who is in the gold class.”
“okay? “I’m not.”
“… yes?”
“Are you silver class?”
“That’s right.”
“under! I’m out of luck… . No, why did we have to face off against this trash this week?”
“You are speaking too harshly.”
Ferreira twitched his eyebrows.
“It’s not my words that are serious, it’s the guy who made the bracket to match you now.”
“… … .”
“What kind of idiot put Silver Class and Gold Class together? huh?”
As the conversation continued, the referee came between the two.
“Okay, now – you two, calm down. If Orca wins, he will become a gold class. Ferreira, if you win this match, won’t you get the right to challenge for the Diamond class?”
There was no answer.
Ferreira and Orca continued to glare at each other.
The referee must have thought that things would escalate if left like this, so he quickly started the game.
“Then, the match between the Foxtail Knights and the Second Bourbon Knights will begin now!”
The beacon rising high in the center of the arena caught fire.
Grumble!
At the same time, the knights of the Foxtail Knights, armed with swords, shields, spears, and axes, sprinted towards the enemy.
Doo doo doo doo.
“We will take them down one by one!”
Orca raises her voice.
“yes!”
The knights following him responded.
In contrast, the Bourbon Knights were not even prepared to fight. Ferreira just went forward and met them with his bare hands.
You don’t pick up a weapon in an arena where you can’t use auras and mana? Isn’t this the same as asking me to kill you?
Those who had never seen the Battle of Ferreira would have thought this. But those who have seen his skills say this.
‘He has fists of steel.’
bang!
Ferreira struck one of the Foxtail Knights in the abdomen with his fist. The impact crushed her armor, and her body flew into the air.
dump.
One knight was defeated with a single blow.
Ferreira gestured to the remaining knights with a smile on his face.
“Go away, you guys don’t have the skills to be in the gold class yet.”

Lily, the pink-haired female employee at the Legion Arena, smiled broadly.
“Then, I will help you find the three adventurers who were unable to save the party.”
I made an inevitable choice.
In an arena match, five people must participate as a party, but right now we only have Rox and me.
“I’ll ask for decent people.”
“Yes, then…” .”
Lily looked at the list of bronze class participants in the arena.
Frowning, she slowly traced the list with a ballpoint pen, circled the names of the people at the bottom, and showed it to me.
“Chihuahua… . collie… . Bichon? “Isn’t this the dog’s name?”
“It may seem like that at first glance. “They say he is a knight who uses some strength in the western Gerard County.”
“Count Gerard? “This is my first time hearing it.”
“So I also asked a merchant in the west, and he said he was quite prestigious there.”
“okay.”
The name is strange, but the skills don’t seem to be bad. Since there are 4-star knights on the list, it must be above average.
“Then, would you please make a party with these people?”
“Could you please wait a moment? Even if one side wants it, the other side might not want it… .”
“yes.”
I waited in the waiting room for the three drivers she recommended. To start the game, you just need to match the numbers, so unless there is a special problem, you must be accepted as a party member.
To get to the tower as quickly as possible.
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone knocked on our waiting room door.
Rox approached cautiously, checked the gap in the door, and suddenly frowned.
Judging from the fact that he was shaking his head, it was clear that this was not a good reaction.
“Don’t be surprised.”
“why?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Rox took a deep breath and slowly pulled the doorknob.
Mei profit-
Three knights were seen outside the waiting room. The chain armor was quite expensive for a 4-star knight to use, and the weapons seemed to be above mid-level.
Seeing as they are all properly armed, I think they are good enough to be accepted as party members.
Turf, plod, trudge.
“Nice to meet you, I am Baron Bichon, Count Gerard’s bodyguard.”
It’s a bichon. It was a real bichon.
No matter who looked at him, he looked so similar that anyone could say he resembled a Bichon.
So much so that I can understand why my parents gave me that name.
“This is Verdin.”
The Bichon came in smiling brightly and held out his hand to me.
I stood up and shook his hand lightly.
“Verdin! That’s a good name. My young knights said they wanted to have me as a party member, so I came. “Are these really cool friends?”
The Bichon looked at me and Rox in turns.
He looked proud as if he liked us.
“I heard from my Miss Lily that you are from Strange?”
“you’re right.”
“Wow, this is an honor. “I can’t believe I can compete with Strange!”
“Do you mind if I take this to mean that you are with us?”
“then! Thank you, thank you. “Actually, I couldn’t play because I couldn’t find my party members.”
“Thank you, but we also didn’t have enough party members.”
This is how we became party members, and were able to find Lily and participate in today’s Bronze Class match.
“Today’s match starts at 5:30 PM. If you are even a little late, you will be disqualified, so please come on time.”
