34 – Ready (2).

One month has gone by so quickly. So far I’ve only done one thing. It’s just pushing yourself and improving your skills.

As promised, my father continued sparring with me, and because of that, my skills grew at an overwhelming speed. In fact, I didn’t need to learn how to handle skills or mana from my father.

However, sparring with someone stronger than me always made me immediately judge what I lacked, and pointed me to the direction I should go.

He did not neglect the training of his body and mana, and devoted himself to training except for sleeping time. Even though I don’t get tired of pretty much anything, I’m always tired and fall asleep, and when I wake up, I’m going to go to the gymnasium.

And so, when the time of one month had finally passed, none of Ortaire’s knights could beat me anymore.

face. My father looks at me and takes a pose. I, too, take a stand against him.

Dalian continued for a month. He should be used to it now, but every time he confronts his father, it feels new.

The development was always the same. My father is a wooden sword for training. I am a steel gauntlet. The seonsaeng is me.

I kick off my feet and run to my father.

A speed that can’t be compared to a month ago. The results of my training were so noticeable that I could tell just by kicking the ground.

Perhaps my father also realized that he couldn’t pass my blows carelessly anymore, so unlike before, when he swung roughly, he struck me with a firm yet stable attitude.

Jjoong!

With the sound of wooden swords and steel gauntlets clashing, a strong shockwave came out and spread around my father.

A different aspect than a month ago. I stretched out my fist and blocked my father’s outstretched sword. The advantage of martial arts is that the range of techniques that can be applied widens as long as the distance is secured.

I tried to grab my father’s sword with my hand, but my father didn’t take it easy either. In the interval between the two steps back, my father’s sword regained freedom, and again began to encircle me.

I could clearly see the path my father’s sword was moving, but my body couldn’t keep up with it. Even if he increased his speed around mana, he couldn’t keep up.

The slow flow of several breaths eventually led to the completion of the sword master’s drawing. It was simply a sword pointed at me, but it was the same as before.

That sword could be moved in any way, and could change into any power. Perhaps, if I were my father’s enemy, and had moved one step further, I would have immediately fallen off my neck. Realizing that fact, I immediately loosened my posture.

“I lost.”

“… … yes. Good work.”

As expected, the title of swordsman was not a title that could be obtained simply by sharpening a knife.

The body and skills that my father perfected through decades of training were impossible for me to catch up with.

If it was my body in my previous life, I would have been able to overwhelm my father, but my current body is only 4 months old since I started training. There was no way I could follow.

Moreover, my father still has a lot of energy left. The strength of the body, the total amount of mana, and purity were all far away to me now, so I couldn’t dare to look at them.

No matter how overwhelming talent is, even if it shortens the time, decades of equally talented people cannot be easily surpassed.

I didn’t regret it It is natural. If you regret it, there won’t be a thief sign.

Rather good. Because I have the conviction that I can become stronger than I am.

However, it won’t take long.

“You got the gap. I can’t believe it.”

“I saw it. But my body couldn’t keep up.”

“If your body had been a little higher level, you could have grabbed the sword. That’s enough. Probably, no matter who comes out of Yeongjijeon, they won’t be able to surpass you.”

“But I am not going to let my guard down. The world is wide, and there are many strong people. There may be some variables.”

“hit. Aiden’s prestige has declined considerably, and it has become a merchant family, but in the past, it was a family that produced noble knights. I can help anywhere. It’s a great mindset.”

“Then we will finish our preparations and depart for Rodenov tomorrow. There are still three days until Yeongjijeon.”

“yes. Do as you please.”

“You worked hard, Father.”

My father nodded and went back to the office. I started packing right down the road.

finally tomorrow. I’m heading to Rodenov.

It was a particularly cold day. Today is the day Physis’ warrior qualifications are verified.

But somehow, the mood continued to be low. Everyone asked me what was going on with my low mood over the past month, but I simply replied that it was nothing.

Everyone was puzzled at how I, who had been lively just for the National Foundation Day, had become so gloomy, but when I shut my mouth without giving any reason, everyone just chose to leave me alone.

In fact, both of their choices were right. My low mood was all because of the dream and the insecurity that had settled in me.

Those things, no matter what other people say, aren’t helpful.

It’s just something I need to control myself well, but I’m just not able to do that.

What I have to do now is to control my emotions. Hiding insecurities, forcing a low mood to hide.

After I had prepared myself mentally, Sarah came to me and informed me that Physis had arrived.

“Come on, Sarah.”

“Yeah. miss.”

“Long time no see. Adilune.”

“… … Yeah.”

Adilun, whom I hadn’t seen in a month, somehow seemed to have no energy. And that’s not all. Not only did he have no energy, he also looked depressed.

It seemed like she was trying hard not to show it, but it was clear that something bad had happened to her recently.

“Me, Adilune?”

“Yeah?”

“Are there any bad places? You don’t look good.”

“… … it’s okay.”

She hesitated a little. sure It was clear what had happened.

“I don’t think it’s okay.”

“it’s okay.”

Cool, yet determined eyes are directed at me.

Even so, golden eyes that showed uneasiness that could not be hidden. It was the eyes of a ruthless dragon that would not allow even a single question.

“… … If so. All right.”

Anyway, what happened? My expression automatically darkened.

“Go. Because your father is waiting for you.”

“Yeah.”

Adilun led me to the gymnasium. At the gymnasium, the knights of Rodenov, including His Excellency Johannes, stood in line.

“Here you are.”

“Yeah.”

“Did you train hard?”

“I did the best I could. My father was sure of it. With my skills, there will be no problem in the Yeongji War.”

At my seemingly bold words, His Excellency’s eyes lit up.

“Hoo. Giltheon said so.”

“Yeah.”

“good night. However, for Giltheon’s assurances to recognize you as the great warrior of Rodenov, the knights’ resistance will be considerable.”

At that moment, along with the pressure from the knights, their bloody hostility turned towards me.

Although my relationship with Adyllun has improved recently, from their point of view, I am still a disrespectful person who insulted the heir of the family.

“Are you ready to take the test, Phishis Ortaire?”

be prepared The resolution was already made a long time ago. If I hadn’t been determined, I wouldn’t have worked so hard for a month.

However, is it necessary to point out such a fact?

If you are determined, just one word is enough.

“Yeah.”

“Prepare. From now on, I will test you to see if you are worthy to be selected as the Great Champion of Rodenov.”

I nodded at those words and put on my armament.

The test method was simple.

It is to compete with the strongest knight that Rodenov boasts of and measure its level.

If my level does not reach the standard set by them, I will have to pack my bags and return to Ortaire, and if I reach the standard, I will become a champion of Rodenov.

The simplest, most accurate way.

I don’t know how much of a reference point you’ve assigned to me, but if there’s one thing that’s certain.

I will far exceed the standard set by you.

I put on the gauntlet in the middle of the gymnasium and finished arming myself.

My opponent was a middle-aged man with a sharp look.

The strongest knight in Rodenov, Sir Lucas Wintes.

He was otherwise called the Knight of Winter, and of course he was inferior to his father, but he was a knight with great skills.

He immediately looked at me and gave off quite a menacing spirit.

Eventually, he raised his sword and took a stance.

“under!”

It rushed at me with elation.
