《When I Opened My Eyes, I Realized That I Became a Genius With Sword Art》 Chapter 0 I am an only child. This means that I can be a main character, at least within the family. I thought I could also be the main character even when I went outside. In high school, I finally realized I was mistaken. In college, I realized that I was just an extra. I liked acting, and I bet my everything on acting. ¡°Hey, you can be the main character in the play.¡± ¡°You¡¯re good at acting¡±. Until high school, my acting was good. However, as I grew up, there were many people who were better at acting than me. They were even more handsome than me. While living like an extra, one day I woke up and I found out that I transmigrated in a novel. ¡°Hey, look over there. It¡¯s that jerk.¡± ¡°Wow¡­ You said he still stuck at 1st circle? I would die in embarrassment if I got stucked.¡± The count¡¯s son. And he is an extra like me. He was also brutally killed by the protagonist of the novel. ¡°This is driving me crazy.¡± Even in this other world, I have no time to despair over the fact that I was, again, an extra. I had to live for now, regardless of being the main character or the extra. Anyway, ¡°This is not bad¡±. The life of an introvert extra is actually pretty good. *** Chapter 1 ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?!¡± The shout of the Director filled the whole set. Turning my head to look at the director, I shivered. His hand was pointing at me. The director was actually shouting at me! ¡°Hey, you!¡± ¡°Ye-yes!¡± Looking at the angry Director, I stuttered without realizing it. I don¡¯t know what went wrong, but it was clear that he was yelling at me. Seeing the Director frowning, my body shrank even more. This was a difficult position to get by. ¡°Are you going to ruin the drama? Why are you the only one who stands out and goes crazy?¡± ¡­This was unfair. It¡¯s not that I couldn¡¯t act well, but does it make sense to be angry just because I stand out? In the first place, my role is to sell socks on the street out of the blue. That scene already stands out enough, and he didn¡¯t like it. What should I do then? I am not the one who wrote the script. There were all kinds of excuses formed in my head, but I held back and just bowed my head. In this case, admitting my mistakes and bowing my head rather than making excuses is the best way to survive. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Sorry? Hey, if you don¡¯t do it properly one more time, it¡¯s over. Did you get it?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pull myself together and do it properly next.¡± The Director eventually stopped nagging. Then, he looked at the main actor once again. Now I know the reason why he suddenly shouted at me. I really didn¡¯t do anything wrong from the beginning. The actor was just late for the filming, and the director was just trying to make up some excuse to re-shoot. Sadly, it was me who became the easy scapegoat. Sigh. This is really crazy. I didn¡¯t do anything wrong, but I was accused in order to cover up for someone. But what can I do? Extras really need to act like an extra. As an extra, the best situation right now is to bow my head as if I didn¡¯t know his hidden intention. This way, I can get by unscathed. ¡°We will shoot again!¡± At the director¡¯s words, other actors went back to their initial position. ¡°Ready, action!¡± The camera started to roll. The director gave his OK after filming the same scene two more times. This was exhausting and hard. I took off my outfit and put down the box containing the socks. ¡°Ha¡­ If there was another re-shoot, I would have given up filming and walked away.¡± I heard the main actor muttering. Lucky guy. A rising star in his mid-20s who gained enough popularity to be cast as the main actor. Regardless of how hard the staff suffers, for them, only their pride matters the most. That¡¯s why he¡¯s so focused on arguing with the director. Someone like me is struggling to get a minor role but he could get it easily because there are many people who wanted him. I envy this actor. At the same time, I also respect him. How hard it must have been to get to where he is right now? Wouldn¡¯t it be possible for me to get a little bit of his talent and luck? ¡°Great job!¡± After the filming, the staff will start cleaning up the set. I hurriedly organized the socks and the items around them. I got to be on their good sides in this way. After saying my goodbyes to the staff, I headed to the place where the extras waited. Now, the things I have to do are finished. ¡°Sunghyuk, Great job.¡± ¡°Thank you, mister.¡± ¡°See you at the set next time.¡± ¡°See you again next time.¡± I greeted back the supporting actor and left work. I really hope that the next time we will meet is on the set again. The life of an extra where opportunities are rare to come by is really tough. They will not know when they would be cast again. ¡°Break time!¡± I guess they¡¯re going to take a small break now. ~~~~~Read on krnvl.xyz for faster updates~~~ ¡°Argh! Oppa!¡± ¡°I was working and I heard that you were filming, so I came out right away!¡± ¡°Handsome!¡± Fans of the main actors gathered and flocked around the set. If one or two fans slowly heard that it was break time, they all moved together towards the waiting area of the main actors. Dozens of people quickly gathered next to the main actor. Ahh, I am really jealous of him. I smacked my lips at this appearance. I was keeping myself together at the thought that my acting is good and that I could become the main character someday. I just need to surpass my limits. I had never lived the life of the main character, but somehow I felt as if I may lose something If I become famous. ¡°Sigh¡­Sunghyuk!¡± Someone sighed and called me as I turned around. ¡°Hey¡­¡± ¡°Oh, yes. You over there.¡± The woman who called me is now standing in front of me. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Who are you looking for?¡± ¡°Oh, no. I came to see actor Lee Sunghyuk.¡± She smiled brightly. At that, I paused and looked at the woman. She obviously called me an actor. All my life, I¡¯ve been always called ¡®Hey!¡¯, ¡®You there¡¯, ¡®You punk¡¯. But to her, I am an actor. ¡°Actor Lee Sunghyuk.¡± She called me again. Even though I know that I shouldn¡¯t, my expectations got up by themselves. Swallowing my saliva, I opened my mouth to reply. ¡°Me¡­¡± ¡°Yes! Actor Lee Sunghyuk.¡± It wasn¡¯t an illusion. She really came for me. The woman smiled and continued to talk. ¡°It¡¯s my first time doing this¡­I¡¯m a little nervous too.¡± With that said, she bowed her head, blushing. My heart was beating hard. ¡°Look¡­I¡¯m a fan.¡± A fan that existed only in my imagination, is now in front of my eyes. ¡°Really, so¡­ Thank you so much.¡± ¡°What? No. I¡¯m more grateful.¡± I said, the woman waved her hand and answered. She handed me an eco bag. ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s a novel that I wrote. I wrote it while thinking of actor Sunghyuk, so I hope you read it. It¡¯s not complete yet..¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make sure to read it.¡± She wrote a novel thinking about me. How can I reject it? I took the eco bag right away. ¡°Thank you. Please read it all and tell me how it was later.¡± ¡°Yes. I hope to see you again next time.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± The woman replied and then checked the time. ¡°Oh, I have to go now¡­¡± ¡°Yes, yes. You have to go. Of course.¡± ~~~~Read on krnvl.xyz for faster updates~~~ As soon as I returned home, I took out the books from the eco bag. 8 books. It wasn¡¯t that heavy, but I was amazed that there were actually eight books in it. I looked at the eco bag for no reason. It was an eco-bag with a picture of a tree that is not that special. What is it? There was something special coming from the bag. I picked up the first volume and began to read the first pages. Perhaps because I already read so many scripts, I was already used to reading something. ¡°The Master of Talent.¡± It¡¯s the title of the book. ¡°I guess it¡¯s a fantasy novel.¡± I rarely read Novels because I¡¯m busy, but I sometimes read them when I was young. I tried not to miss a word by slowly reading. This is a novel written by my fan thinking about me. I didn¡¯t want to miss a single letter. The overall content of the book was about the main character¡¯s revenge play. The protagonist, who lost his parents because of a monster, went crazy to kill the monsters around him that day. Then, he awakened his special ability that no one else has. His ability enables him to see one of the greatest abilities that another person has. The brightness of light varies depending on the rank of the Abilities. When I read the novel till the middle of the first volume, I realized that the protagonist¡¯s ability was not simply enabling him to see. After killing the Orc King, he got the ability that Orc King initially had. He could not gain it if they are alive, he was only able to do so by killing the person. The protagonist, who has gained a new ability by killing Orc King, continued to kill other monsters and gain more abilities. I was now in the second half of the first volume and the protagonist changed. ¡°Hmm?¡± The development was strange, he suddenly killed a person. This is different from what killing monsters so far. It¡¯s his first murder. However, the main character did not care much about it and continued to work. ¡°The main character seems more like a villain.¡± Since it was a novel, there was no great reluctance to kill or anything. I am also not that nice of a person in the first place. ¡°But¡­ I think this is too much.¡± I¡¯m now almost done with reading till the sixth volume. I stopped reading for a while and scratched my cheek. I don¡¯t know how the story will end, but the protagonist has now killed the entire village. In order for the main character to gain stronger abilities, it was necessary to sacrifice the villagers. The main character did everything for his own purpose. I don¡¯t like the development, but I kept reading it. This was from my fan. Needless the plot or the virtue of the main character, I will still read it. ¡°By the way, in what part did she write thinking about me?¡± This was my biggest question. I don¡¯t know which part she wrote of thinking of me. Was it true that she wrote it while thinking about me? The protagonist eventually became a tyrant at the end of Volume 8, even then I still had my own doubts. Perhaps, because I read eight books in one time, my eyes were a little tired. As I organized the books, I took the eco bag to fold, but something strange caught my eye. ¡°What is this? I did¡¯t think there was anything inside until just now.¡± The eco bag initially only has a picture of a tree and nothing else. But now there was a text under the tree. ¡°I¡¯ll always watch you¡­¡± The moment I uttered those words¡­ Ping! As my sight went black, my consciousness gradually disappeared. My whole body lost strength, and I collapsed. Huh? I can¡¯t even open my mouth. I tried to look around but everything was darkness. Suddenly, texts appeared in front of me <> [¡°The Unknown God¡± has begun watching your story] Chapter 2 TL: The author would always switch between 1st POV and then 3rd POV. I decided to stick with 3rd POV because it is the most used in the later chapters. *** ¡°Ahh!¡± Feeling suffocated, he groaned without realizing it. He tried to sit up with a frown. He could feel his muscles flinching with strength, but his body showed no signs of getting up. He opened his eyes only then, he felt frustrated that his body couldn¡¯t move properly according to what he wanted. ¡°Aish, my head¡­¡± What¡¯s the problem? His head had been aching for a while now. He tried raising his arms but he felt that they were heavier than usual. Slowly struggling, his hands reach up to his forehead and rubbed it. Headache similar to a hangover. ¡°Did I perhaps get drunk?¡±¡® Last night, he returned home to read the novel without drinking. What¡¯s wrong with my body? I didn¡¯t even put alcohol on my mouth? ¡°No, that¡¯s not the problem¡­¡± He stared around blankly. Something is weird! This wasn¡¯t the same familiar studio. The ceiling of the studio where he lived was not that high. As his body¡¯s senses gradually returned, he was now able to raise his upper body. The thick blanket gently sweeps down his body. Was it because of the blanket that made my headache? That wasn¡¯t the point now. In a place where he had never come in his life, he was looking at the sight he had never seen before. This room was as big as his living room. ¡°Is this a set?¡± It was so well decorated that he wondered if it was a set for filming a movie. Old-fashioned furniture and sparkling decorations disturbed his eyes. ¡°What is this?¡± He was reading a novel back in his studio, but when he woke up, he was in a completely strange place. Is this a dream? No, this is not a dream. To call it a dream, the senses felt throughout his body were so vivid. Blankets and clothes, he could feel them rubbing against his skin. A lucid dream? It can¡¯t be. And then he thought¡­ Was this a hidden camera prank? But that didn¡¯t make sense either. He didn¡¯t know anyone to prank him like this. ¡°What¡¯s the point of doing a hidden camera prank against me? It will only cost money.¡± Then what is it? I am so confused. There were all sorts of things he didn¡¯t own in this big room. There are so many desks, books, closets, and doors. There are as many as three doors. ¡°I don¡¯t even know where each door is going to.¡± He got out of bed and walked to a desk on one side of the room. He was wondering if there was anything he could get information about. On the desk, there was a palm-sized notebook and a pen on top. He opened it out carefully. Although the shape was a little different, he was familiar because it was an item that he would frequently use. The moment he was going to read something from the notebook. Knock, Knock He heard a knock on the door. ¡°Young master, Alice is ready to serve. May I come in?¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah. Come on in.¡± His body went stiff, but his mouth moved by itself to answer. He was embarrassed by his random answer, but he tried to keep a straight face. Click. The door opened. Along with it, a woman dressed in maid clothes appeared. ¡°¡­¡­.¡± He closed his mouth. Although the room felt antique, he never imagined that a woman in a maid¡¯s clothes would appear. She looked at him and said with a tone slightly surprised. ¡°You woke up early today for some reason, Young master.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ What?¡± It was his first time experiencing this, so he looked awkwardly down. He can¡¯t help but feel awkward. He has experienced many things in his life, but this was his first time experiencing something like this. After he lost his consciousness while reading the novel, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a place he had never seen before. This was not a situation that made sense in the first place. In addition, even the woman standing in front of him was dressed up as a maid It was natural that his confusion increased. ¡°Are you not feeling well?¡± ¡°Huh? No. I am okay.¡± He shook his head and answered. Perhaps it was because he still can¡¯t process things straight, but whenever he answered, there would always be ¡°Huh¡±. ¡°You don¡¯t look good¡­ Are you okay? Did you drink too much last night?.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. More than that¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± He wanted to ask why he was here, but he thought it would be weird to ask that. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± He shook his head and acted as if nothing had happened. One of the things he is best at is acting. While acting, he carefully looked at the maid in front of him. Pretty, she is very pretty. But what was her name again? Was it Alice? The name sounds familiar. Was it because it¡¯s the name of a famous fairy tale, Alice in the Wonderland? Suddenly, he realized that it was also the same name as an extra from the novel ¡°Master of Talent¡± written by his fan. The ¡®Extra¡¯ character, Alice. Exactly, it was just a passerby role. There was a character that slightly interfered with the main character¡¯s path at the beginning of the novel, giving him proper growth, and allowing the main character to show off his talent. Raymond Millennium. The son of a Master Wizard (5-6th Circle Wizard), Count Millennium. Raymond, who used to act as a Tyrant, as usual, meets the main character and loses his life. He then became the cause of the sudden explosiveness of talent of the Main Character. ¡°Alice¡­¡± The description of Raymond¡¯s death was imprinted in his head. Either it was because he read each word carefully or because it was the first murder of the Main Character. ¡°I¡¯ll help you with changing your clothes, young master.¡± Raymond stood up straight without saying anything to Alice¡¯s voice. ¡°What clothes would you like to wear today?¡± Alice said, showing three sets of clothes in front of him. He chose one of the three clothes right away, without minding the style. He thought it¡¯d be awkward if he took more time on choosing his clothes. ¡°That.¡± He doesn¡¯t know why, but it felt natural to choose clothes. As if he had already done it several times. ¡°That¡¯s a good choice. As expected of Master Raymond¡­.¡± At Alice¡¯s words, his body suddenly stopped. He couldn¡¯t even hear his surroundings anymore. His brain has stopped working. He swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth with trembling lips. ¡°A-Alice.¡± ¡°Yes, young master.¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± ¡°What? I said Master Raymond has a good eye for choosing clothes?¡± He ignored the other words, and only focused on one. Raymond. Oh, God. He closed his eyes tightly. An unbelievable theory came to his mind and then disappeared. Those are ridiculous theories. But I think they make sense. Something big seemed to have happened. ~~~~Read on krnvl.xyz for faster updates~~~ It took 10 days. After 10 days he could finally accept that he transmigrated in the novel, ¡°The Master of Talent.¡± At first, he wanted to deny it, saying it was ridiculous. But as he lived as a Raymond Millennium, not a ¡°Lee Sunghyuk¡± for these 10 days, he accepted it on his own. He got used to Raymond Millennium¡¯s life little by little, and the name Lee Sunghyuk slowly faded. 10 days was enough time to finally realized that he really had transmigrated in the novel. In addition, it was time to decide on what path he would choose to walk on to. Knock, Knock. ¡°Young master.¡± ¡°Come on in.¡± With a knock on the door, he immediately replied to Alice¡¯s voice. At first, he felt that it was very awkward and crazy, but now he got used to it. To be exact, he got used to ¡°acting¡± as Raymond Millennium. Click. Alice came into the room familiarly. Before she could say anything, she chose the plainest clothes among the three clothes she brought. He thinks clothes are the hardest thing to get used to as Raymond. Most of his clothes are adorned with extravagant accessories, and they are so colorful that it became hard for him to wear this type of clothes. He was still used to Modern clothes. ¡°Today, I will be wearing this.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Alice answered slightly without hesitation and helped him change. ¡°Alice.¡± ¡°Yes, young master.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the rumors these days? He did his best to understand his current situation for the past 10 days. He busied himself these 10 days by comparing how same this place is with the novel he read and if there are some differences. And his conclusion is¡­ It¡¯s exactly the same. Raymond Millennium in the novel was an incompetent Son. A jerk who denied the reality after his mother passed away and grew up not believing in the world. ¡°¡­still the same.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°However, from what I feel¡­The young master has changed a little.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve changed a lot.¡± He replied by cutting off Alice¡¯s words. She shut up for a moment. After changing his clothes completely, Alice took a step back and opened her mouth. ¡°You¡¯ve definitely changed. If Master saw the current young master, he will feel the same way.¡± ¡°But I still have no talent in magic.¡± Alice flinched and couldn¡¯t reply to his sudden remarks. The Millennium family was one of the four prestigious families that supported the Magic Tower. In other words, it is called they are a Wizard Family. And Raymond, the only child of the Millennium family, possessed no talent for magic. At the age of 17 years old, Raymond still remained at the level of 1st circle at the age when most of the children of the other three Families are in their 3rd circles. ¡°It¡¯s not the young master¡¯s fault.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. Today is ¡®That Day¡¯.¡± He scratched his cheek at her words to comfort me. Once a month, there is a class where 1st and 2nd circle students gathered. A class with a special lesson about the basics of magic. It was being carried out at the Magic Tower because it would be a great help to the apprenticeship wizards in the 1st and 2nd cycles. ¡°Are you going to the Magic Tower right away?¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll go alone, so go to work.¡± ¡°Yes, young master. Then I¡¯ll guide you to the Gate.¡± Over the past 10 days, everything he could do has been done through Alice. Since he was already strange from the beginning, no one doubted him not coming out of his room these past 10 days. ¡°Will it be okay?¡± He was a little nervous because it was his first time going to the Magic Tower and meeting other people since he came here. It was also because there was little description in the novel about this. The ¡°The Master of talent¡± revolved only around the main character and it never describe the back story of the other characters. The Gate was a passage connected to the Magic Tower. A device that allows people to travel a distance that would usually take tens of days compressed into seconds. As a Wizard Family, of course, a Gate was installed in their residence. ¡°There are other people.¡± Alice found two apprenticeship wizards standing in front of the Gate and said. Apprenticeship wizards working for the Millennium family. These are now in their 2nd circle. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s been a while. Young Master Raymond.¡± The apprenticeship wizards smiled and greeted him. Their smile didn¡¯t contain any good intentions. ¡°Young master must be attending this class.¡± ¡°¡­¡­.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been attending it for nearly 10 years¡­ I hope that you gain enlightenment and rise to the 2nd circle.¡± The two apprenticeship wizards giggled and laughed as they pretended to encourage him If it were the original Raymond, he would not say anything. He would have just relieved his anger to his maids or servants later on. ¡°Look at these punks!¡± However, he had no intention of ignoring this situation. For the past 10 days after he came here, he had already decided on how he would live as Raymond. He never intended to be a useless jerk. If he is going to live his life as a jerk, it¡¯s better to be a proper reasonable Jerk. And to do that, he shouldn¡¯t stay still in this situation. He took a deep breath. [¡°The Unknown God¡± glitters in anticipation of your talent blooming] He closed his eyes and opened his mouth. ¡°You guys are crazy.¡± That¡¯s what he said before raising the corners of his mouth. It¡¯s time to ¡°act¡± as a true jerk. Chapter 3 Alice certainly realized that there was something different from how Raymond looked at the apprenticeship wizard. If this was before, Raymond¡¯s eyes would be lifeless. But now, his eyes were full of vitality, and emitting an aura befitting a young master. ¡°These guys are crazy.¡± The moment he said that. Alice felt suffocated. She knew he had changed, but she never expected that such vulgar word would come out from his mouth. She looked back and forth alternately at Raymond and the apprenticeship wizards. Raymond¡¯s mouth, which still has a cold smile, opened. ¡°Why do dogs bark at their owners?¡± Such an aggressive way of speaking. Alice quietly watched the situation going around. *** Just because you¡¯re a trash, that doesn¡¯t mean you will forever remain as a trash. While there is a fool who does nothing to a being stronger than himself, he treats those below him carelessly. ¡®There¡¯s also the trash who reveals his teeth to anyone.¡¯ The original Raymond was not just called incompetent trash for no reason. He used to speak rudely to beings weaker than him and sometimes use violence, but he did not say anything to those stronger than him. Raymond, a 1st circle wizard, could not do anything to the 2nd circle wizard, an apprentice wizard of the family. The previous Raymond, in this situation, would just ignore them. However, it¡¯s him now and he is different. As long as he lives as Raymond, many things will change. The ¡°Jerk¡± he is going to play will be a decent one, a true ¡°Jerk¡±. ¡®A classy jerk. This irony is too funny.¡¯ From now on, he will never allow anyone to trample him. Now, how should he make them give in? ¡°Why do dogs bark at their owners?¡± W9as my words so shocking? The apprenticeship wizards were stunned and looked at me. Facing a situation they could not understand at all. Well, when he think of the previous Raymond, he can somewhat understand their reactions. Originally, Raymond would just ignore them and then vent his anger elsewhere. Who wouldn¡¯t feel awkward if Raymond suddenly said something harsh? Anyone who knew Raymond would feel 100% absolute awkwardness. ¡°Young master¡­¡± His voice was mixed with absurdity and embarrassment. Still, it was funny to see these people calling him young masters, as he is the son of the count. Isn¡¯t their behavior and tone completely different from earlier? He couldn¡¯t help himself but laugh. ¡°What do you mean dogs barking at their owner, young master? You¡¯re going too far.¡± ¡°Those words feel very insulting. I hope you officially apologize.¡± The apprentice wizards stared at him harshly with their stiffened faces. This was so funny. These people will shut up in front of the count, but they act arrogantly in front of him. ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous.¡± They call him a young master, but no one has ever recognized Raymond as a young master. That¡¯s the same now. ¡°Young master! If you keep doing that, we can¡¯t just stay still.¡± Frowning, the apprenticeship wizard snapped at him and raised his arm. Mana flocked around his arm, and the atmosphere changed slightly. He was prepared to use magic at once. Inside, Raymond was a little fearful of the magic, but he continued to act calmly. ¡°You¡¯re going to use magic against me in my own residence, right?¡± It didn¡¯t make sense. The Millennium family was one of the best Wizard Families in the kingdom. What would others think if a subordinate of the Millennium family tried to use magic against Raymond Millennium? ¡°How should I accept this? This is definitely treachery.¡± He turned his head slightly and looked at Alice. Alice, who was preparing for any emergency that would occur, immediately bowed her head at what he said. ¡°It¡¯s clearly a treachery, and it¡¯s something to be officially reported to the head of the house.¡± Even though she said so, the apprenticeship wizards snorted. ¡°Even if you tell the lord, well, Do you think they¡¯ll embrace a son who¡¯s incompetent than us, who are talented wizards?¡± The way he is talking¡­ It really annoys people¡¯s feelings. ¡°Daniel, watch your mouth. Put that hand down right away.¡± Alice spoke in a low voice. He raised his arm to block her from trying to step forward. Alice stopped right away because of his words. When he thought about Raymond¡¯s current behavior, the apprenticeship wizard put on a mocking smile. Perhaps he thought that Raymond blocked Alice because of his fear of magic. ¡°Even if I put it down? If I use simple magic like this, will our incompetent young master be able to stop me?¡± He disregarded me, right? Raymond was speechless. He was able to know very well what you usually think of me. ¡°Why is this punk so arrogant?¡± Next to it, the other apprenticeship wizard was also preparing to use magic with his arms raised. There¡¯s something with their level. And it seems like they¡¯ve been out of the apprenticeship level for a long time. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Let them try it.¡± ¡°Young master. What¡­?¡± Alice, felt confused by what he said, she took a step forward to stop him, but now it was not the time for her to step forward. He stopped her and flicked his finger at them. He also didn¡¯t forget to give them a smirk. Daniel and the other apprenticeship wizard frowned. It was hard for them to know what he was thinking. ¡°Why? I told you to do it. Are you feeling scared now?¡± He deliberately provoked them more. In the meantime, inside his head, he calculated his distance from Daniel. He never bluffed without thinking. He is not that irresponsible. He had thoroughly analyzed and reviewed the ¡°The Master of talent¡± novel, that he had read over the past few days before coming here. Naturally, he also has a plan for this type of situation. ¡°Don¡¯t think I will not do this¡­¡± ¡°Do it. I¡¯ll tell you what happens when a dog barks.¡± ¡°You crazy punk¡­!¡± Eventually, Daniel, who couldn¡¯t stand it, reached out to Raymond. Manas flocked in front of his hand. ¡°Magic Missile!¡± Two arrows made of mana were created in the air. These two magic missiles, only about half the length of a regular arrow, flew at high speed. Facing it straight, Raymond kicked the ground and jumped forward. Alice opened her mouth, but there was no magic missile stuck in his body. One passed by Raymond¡¯s arm and the other near his head. ¡°What is this¡­¡± Surprised Daniel tried to say something, but the words did not last until the end because Raymond¡¯s fist struck the side of his face. ¡°Puh!¡± Daniel¡¯s face wrinkled at the dull sound. ¡°Gasp!¡± Before he could react, Raymond turned his body slightly. Magic missiles passed through his body again, but they were struck in the wall. The apprenticeship wizard next to Daniel hesitated and eventually used magic. ¡°How dare you!¡± Raymond lifted his foot and kicked the other apprentice wizard in the solar plexus. The movements that he couldn¡¯t do even when he was an actor, now there was no problem in using them. His body moved too flexibly, and he could now control his body the way he wants. He hit Daniel¡¯s face with his elbow. ¡°Pam!¡± He felt something breaking with his elbow. Daniel tried to use magic for the moment, but he had already kicked the other apprenticeship wizard, and the small flame that appeared in the air, disappeared immediately. ¡°Arghh!¡± Perhaps it was too painful, Daniel screamed. Even with that scream, Raymond didn¡¯t feel pity. Raymond raised his fist and swung it on his unlucky face. Fck. When Raymond punched Daniel¡¯s bloody face, he flinched and collapsed. ¡°Ugh!¡± Daniel screamed and shook his arm randomly to block Raymond¡¯s fist. If he had used magic in the meantime, things would have changed. However, Daniel didn¡¯t think about that. Meanwhile, Raymond saw the other apprenticeship wizard sneaking up and lifting his arm. Raymond immediately bowed his head to the chill feeling he felt from the back of his head. ¡°Bam!¡± The magic missile passed by his head and hit the decoration on the wall. Raymond had a cold sweat. If he were 0.5 seconds late, he would have died with the magic missile struck to his head. At the moment, he wanted to collapse because his legs were weak, but his body held on. When his body hardened by the shock of almost dying, the fear he initially disappeared and quickly calmed down. More precisely, his body moved on its own. He turned back and kick the ground. His body jumps up in the air. ¡°Fck¡± Raymond could feel the broken ribs on the back of his foot. The apprenticeship wizard, who was kicked in the chest by his foot, fell behind. ¡°Gasp.¡± At the same time, as if confirming that he fainted, Raymond hit his shoulder with his knee before he collapsed. ¡°Argh!¡± Raymond stood up slowly, gently pressing his neck with his palm. ¡®Fortunately, I didn¡¯t get carried by adrenaline.¡¯ If he was too caught up, he would still be swinging his fist even now. And then the lives of these apprenticeship wizards would be in danger. I have no intention of committing murder. ¡°Young master.¡± Alice approached him. Her eyes are on his hand. Glancing at her gaze, he tried to shake off her hands, but Alice was firm and wouldn¡¯t budge. Her voice, wiping off all the red blood, trembled a little. ¡°I never imagined you would look like this someday.¡± ¡°¡­¡­.¡± He also didn¡¯t expect this result. He just remembered what was written in the book, and he thought he could win against the 2nd Circle Wizard by a hair¡¯s breadth.¡­. ¡°I didn¡¯t know it would be this overwhelming.¡± He swallowed his dry saliva. This is his first time seeing such a radical appearance, so he can¡¯t help but feel weird. After confirming that she had wiped all the blood, she turned her head and looked around. Traces of magic missiles were everywhere, and Daniel, with the other apprenticeship wizard, was lying on the floor. ¡°Ugh¡±. Daniel grabbed his face with one hand and shook the air with the other hand, trembling with fear. The apprenticeship wizard was crouching and groaning in pain. Throughout his life as Sunghyuk, he had never punched anyone more than 10 times, and he had never seen so much blood. He has seen a lot of fake blood, though. I, who had never fought properly, made these two miserable. Strangely, he didn¡¯t feel any emotion. ¡°You¡¯ll be late for class. I¡¯ll organize this place, so the young master should hurry up and go.¡± Alice raised her eyes and said it to him. Realizing that he was moving to attend class, he nodded and moved. Being with her for the past few days, she was really a competent maid. At the same time, she was seriously thinking of Raymond¡¯s well-being. Alice will take care of it on her own. Standing in front of the gate, the light bothered his eyes. When he closed his eyes and then opened his eyes, he saw a blue shining gate. Mana¡¯s flow caught his eye right away, so when he looked at her, Alice reacted sensitively. ¡°Young master, are you okay?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s okay.¡± Nodding at her question, he took a step and entered the gate. The previous scoundrel Count¡¯s son, it¡¯s time to live as Raymond Millennium. As an unlucky swordsmanship genius born from a Wizard Family. Chapter 4 As soon Raymond opened his eyes, he saw the wizard managing the Gate of the Tower. ¡°Welcome.¡± Raymond nodded his head. His act could seem somewhat arrogant, the wizard looked at him unexpectedly. ¡°I¡¯m here to take a class¡±. ¡°The Lecture is being held in the 4th lecture hall.¡± ¡°4th Lecture hall¡­ Okay.¡± He passed by him with a light greeting. He felt many gazes looking at his back. This didn¡¯t happen once or twice, regardless of what are they thinking about him he walked away while ignoring their gazey. ¡°It¡¯s really big.¡± The Magic Tower was not the Magic Tower for no reason. It was large in size as it was a building containing all the current magical knowledge and magical elements developed so far. ¡°Crazy, there¡¯s even an elevator.¡± This wasn¡¯t written in the novel. He went inside feeling somewhat strange. How does this move? ¡°Is this flying magic?¡± He read in the novel about the magics existing, but he didn¡¯t actually know anything about magic. He ¡®tsk¡¯ his tongue and turned around, people dressed as apprenticeship wizards flocked. ¡°Aren¡¯t you Raymond? As expected, you attended this year as well.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± What are these guys doing? He took the lead and looked at the apprenticeship wizard talking to his. Unlike his welcoming words, there was contempt in his eyes. He had seen that look before. The same look the main actor who saw him playing an Extra. A look that completely ignored him. It was a great feat to still be a 1st Circle wizard after growing up as the only child of a Master Wizard for the past 17 years. ¡°Is it my fault that I don¡¯t have any talent?¡± It¡¯s not his fault that he don¡¯t have talent. But if they ignore him this much, he will start to get annoyed. That gaze that ignored him makes him want to crush his face. He clenched his fist. He wanted to jump at him and punch him, but he resisted. If he did that, Alice is not next to him at the moment Even if he makes a move now, it will become annoying if he can¡¯t take care of it afterwards. He wanted to act like a jerk, not trying to be an Idiot. ¡°I¡¯m sure Raymond looked forward to this year too¡±. ¡°Of course. Beatrice is here to give a lecture today.¡± Apprenticeship wizards chatted loudly. If they¡¯re going to talk to each other, why did they called him out? ¡°Beatrice¡­¡± Beatrice Skylar. A Wizard from the Skylar family. She is 18 years old, the same age as Raymond, but she is already on the verge of breaking through the 4th Circle wizard. Despite the lack of knowledge in magic, he knows the reason why he visited the Magic Tower today. ¡®She has to figure out what kind of person she is.¡¯ The protagonist of the novel, The Master of Talent, tried to destroy the entire world in the second half. It started with the kingdom where Raymond and Beatrice lived. He started a revolt by advocating that he would reform the kingdom, and more than half of the Great families have fallen because of him. In the meantime, it was the wizard Beatrice Skylar who remained until the end and tried to protect the kingdom. In particular, Beatrice has blocked the main character many times but still died at the hands of the main chay, even though she was already a 5th Circle wizard at that time. ¡°I lost my talent.¡± Beatrice is the opposite of Raymond, who is not talented in magic. She has a tremendous talent for magic, but her physical ability could not keep up with it, so she stayed in the 3rd circle for many years. Beatrice grew up long after realizing that her body could not keep up with her situation where her talent was too good, but it was not enough to fight against the main character. And of course, her talent for magic had became nourishment for the protagonist¡¯s growth. ¡°In the end, I have to get Beatrice to my side.¡± Eventually, he will also bump to the main character in the future. The protagonist will try to kill him as soon as sees him, and then he will try to destroy the world later. In order to live, he had to stop the main character. ¡®I will attract people who will stop the protagonist by my side.¡¯ That was the Path he pondered over the past few days. Recruiting people to his side and building power to block the protagonist. It¡¯s not like he has many options, anyway. First of all, in order to live, he must create a force that could protect, and later prevent the protagonist from trying to destroy the kingdom. There wasn¡¯t much he could do right away. If it¡¯s not him, who will stand as the enemy of the main character and fight? And who is the most talented of them? ¡®I have a talent for swordsmanship.¡¯ The same talent for swordsmanship that the protagonist will continue to use in the future. Raymond has the talent, but his talent for swordsmanship alone will not stop the protagonist. In the end, he will kill another being in some way and take away his talent. To stop him, Raymond needed another as talented as him. ¡°First would be Beatrice.¡± He took a step among the other apprenticeship wizards. It was fortunate that they were also on their way to the 4th Lecture hall. Otherwise, he should have asked others for directions but it will take time. As he sat in the front seat roughly, he felt other people¡¯s eyes starring at him. ¡°Hey, that jerk.¡± ¡°Wow¡­ He is still 1st circle? I would die with embarrassment if I were him.¡± ¡°He is here this year too. That¡¯s amazing.¡± ¡°He must really be embarrassed. He¡¯s the son of a Wizard Master, but he¡¯s still at the 1st circle.¡± Veins bulge out of his forehead at the words of two men and women talking. He tried not to make any mess as much as possible, but his body reacted on its own. If he had endured this much, he would have crossed the tolerable limit as an exemplary jerk. At the same time, however, a feeling of fear slipped out of his heart. This was not him, Sunghyuk, but this body, Raymond¡¯s feelings. Did you always allow people beneath you mocking you? Pathetic. You¡¯re already scared of this. That¡¯s why you¡¯re called you¡¯re incompetent. He sighed, he then turned around and looked at them. [¡°The Unknown God¡± watches in anticipation of a new incident occurring.] This is¡­ A phrase came to his mind It was quite bothersome, but now he had to focus on those guys. ¡°Hey.¡± ¡°¡­¡­?¡± ¡°Talk to me again.¡± ¡°What? Raymond, are you talking to us?¡± ¡°Yes, say what you just said again.¡± He got up from his seat, speaking roughly. Screech! The sound of the chair being dragged sounded in the whole lecture hall. Everyone in the classroom paid attention to him. They were suddenly interested on what will happen. ¡°Ha ha¡­ what did you say? Do you want me to ask again?¡± Looking at the person infront, he can¡¯t help but laugh. These guys were similar to the original Raymond after all. They talk hard behind the scenes, but they are afraid of actually coming forward. ¡°What a mess.¡± A cold voice. Along with his voice, his heart also became cold. His muscle started to tense and prepared to move at any time. As soon as he tried to fight, his body seems to react on its own. ¡°Huh?¡± Surprised by his cold voice, the female apprenticeship wizard made a small noise. The male apprenticeship wizard was seen flinching a little. It was obvious that he was nervous and showed an awkward smile. ¡°Raymond, I think there¡¯s a misunderstanding.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a fool? Why are making up excuses?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°I may be a trash and talentless. Everything with that is right. But I¡¯m not a fool.¡± He warmed up hi muscles by moving his shoulders. The female apprenticeship wizard slightly grabbed the man¡¯s arm standing next to her. Still, did he have the courage to be in front of a woman? The male apprenticeship wizard stared at Raymond with his eyes wide open. ¡°If you keep talking to us in such an open place, we can¡¯t stay still either.¡± ¡°What if you can¡¯t stay still? Oh, you¡¯re going to use magic? Then I can¡¯t stay still either. You said very insulting things to me in such an open place. Don¡¯t you think so too?¡± He sneaked a look around. Everyone was silent with their mouths closed. Until now, they have implicitly made fun of Raymond and ignored him. They must have definitely realized that Raymond is different from usual by now. They didn¡¯t know that the guy who was not talented and was just a headache in the family would suddenly appear like this. What kind of miscalculation did take place? The apprenticeship wizard confronted me head-on. ¡°Even bugs wriggle when someone stepped on them. Furthermore, the situation is just in place.¡± Raymond think they have notice to some extent how he has changed. ¡°Madness, incompetent, arrogant¡­¡± ¡°Oh. Shut up. If you¡¯re going to use magic, use it, and if you¡¯re nervous, just shut up, or just do one of the two.¡° The apprenticeship wizard was already preparing to use magic with his arms raised. If he used magic right in front of him, he will do this even though he know that there is a risk of serious injuries, even if it is only a 1st circle elemental magic. ¡°Sigh¡­ Why are you so slowy?¡± The apprenticeship wizard eventually started moving Mana faster at the words of Raymond. Red energy flocked around the man¡¯s arm. By the color alone, he already knew that he would be using fire magic. Raymond¡¯s heart was calm even though the magic was about to emerge right in front of him. ¡°Fire ba¨C¡­¡± He moved his body as he tried to shout the starting word. He quickly punch his body with his fist, he then raised his chin. ¡°Continue¡­¡± If he can¡¯t shout the incantation, no matter how hard he prepare, he won¡¯t be able to do it. Raymond laughed at him. ¡°Silly. You opponent is right in front of you, but you¡¯re trying to use magic?¡± The first thing one need to learn about magic is to widen a distance from the opponent. This guy didn¡¯t even know the basics. ¡°Pfft.¡± Raymond hit his chest. ¡°Gasp.¡± The manas gathered in the arms of the man immediately scattered as soon as the punches of Raymond Fe. He was ready to ouch the face of the beaten man this time. ¡°Shield!¡± A person¡¯s incantation sounded from behind, and a shield was created in front of the apprenticeship wizard. Smack! He felt a weak pain in his hand that hit the shield. He slightly narrowed his forehead and stood up from his seat to check who tried to protect him. ¡°What are you doing here right now?¡± He heard a cold voice, and as soon as he checked her face, he was stunned. Reddish hair, ruby eyes. It felt like he was looking at a beautiful jewel. ¡°Beatrice.¡± Beatrice Skylar. The reason why he came here was now standing infront of him. Chapter 5 ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Count Millennium asked, furrowing his forehead. Alice, who has her head bowed in front of him, said again with an emotionless face. ¡°The young master knocked down the family¡¯s apprenticeship wizards Daniel and Richard.¡± Upon hearing that, Count Millennium sighed and raised his hand to support his forehead. After closing his eyes for a while, he muttered quietly. ¡°This is crazy.¡± Alice heard it and continued to explain. ¡°Daniel and Richard ignored the young master first and tried to use magic against him.¡± ¡°They ignored him for something.¡± ¡°¡­they asked if young master was going to class again this time.¡± Alice, who was with him at the time, could clearly see that their words were words that clearly ignored Raymond¡¯s status. Count Millennium is also aware of their behavior to some extent. ¡°So? What did Raymond say that they tried to use magic?¡± ¡°Why does the family¡¯s dogs bark at its owner?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± At Alice¡¯s words, Count Millennium found this absurd. This has never happened before. Even when he had no talent for magic and his biological mother died years ago. It¡¯s his first time doing this. ¡®He has been crooked since then¡­ But he would always direct his anger towards the servants, it didn¡¯t go all the way to the family¡¯s wizards.¡¯ This situation was confusing for the Count Millennium. He could not understand why Raymond suddenly changed. He frowned, and then looked at Alice. ¡°By the way, how did Raymond knock them down?¡± ¡°He punched them down.¡± ¡°With his fist?¡± ¡°Yes. He moved his fists and kicked them few times avoiding all the magic casted by the two apprenticeship wizards and soon, Daniel and Richard Paul were already lying on the floor.¡± Alice spoke politely. Upon hearing that, Count Millennium looked serious. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Something he couldn¡¯t understand was happening. *** The situation was quickly organized. The apprentice wizard who was right in front of Raymond left with the help of the female apprentice wizard due to Beatrice¡¯s instructions, and soon the class began immediately. ¡°So you shouldn¡¯t try to accept Mana into your body easily. Mana and the Wizard can never become one¡­¡± Raymond looked at Beatrice, who conducting classes on the platform about complex magic introductory content. She was very attractive. Not just about appearance, but her magical knowledge made her stand out even more. In addition, her explanation was so neat, so he was able to gain a basic understanding of magic immediately. How magic is triggered, magical history and etc. Raymond learned the knowledge that he could not get by reading the novel, The Master of Talent. He just came here with the intention of seeing Beatrice and talking to her, but the contents of her class were quite interesting, so he wasn¡¯t bored. ¡°Excuse me.¡± Someone sitting in the back raised their hand. Beatrice looked at the apprenticeship wizard that looked a little clumsy. ¡°Yes, go ahead.¡± ¡°Just now, you said that Mana is making up the whole world.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Then, if you look at it, we are also made up of mana, so why are you saying that mana and wizard can never become one?¡± At that question, Beatrice has between her eyebrows wrinkled. It seems like she doesn¡¯t like the question that much. ¡°Where are you from? Who are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Nylon from Plain Magic Tower.¡± ¡°Good. Nylon from Plain Magic Tower. A long time ago, our Magic Tower conducted numerous studies. Among them, we also studied the correlation between water and people.¡± Beatrice continued her words without being blocked. Raymond was amazed by her smart appearance. ¡°Did anyone of you read ¡®Water and People¡¯ by Howard Royne?¡± Nearly half of her apprenticeship wizards raised their hands. Of course, Raymond didn¡¯t know what the content of book of water and people was, so he just watched quietly. ¡°Howard Royne¡¯s ¡®Water and People¡¯ explains the elements that make up a person¡¯s body, and it describes that 70 percent of our body is water. Is that right? ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Other scholars also put forward the same figures, 65 percent, 68 percent, but it is undeniable that there is a large amount of water among the substances that make up our body. Is that right?¡± At Beatrice¡¯s words, everyone nodded. Raymond also nodded at those same words because they were common sense. 70% of a person¡¯s body is water, which is something that he has learned since childhood. ¡°Then Nylon from Plain Magic Tower.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Can you become one with water?¡± ¡°¡­?¡± ¡°About 70 percent of your body is made up of water, so in that 70 percent you could be water itself.¡± The apprenticeship wizard could not say anything. Beatrice looked at him for a while before she spoke again. ¡°If you become one with water, you die. The same goes for Mana. If you try to be one with Mana, you die. Did you understand?¡± ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± ¡°Then, is it okay for me to start the class again?¡± ¡°¡­please.¡± There have been no questions since then. Beatrice proceeded with the class without interruption, and everyone listened carefully to her. Questions poured out only after the class was already over. ¡°Ms. Beatrice! I wonder how you are about to have four circles even though you are 17 years old. Is there a special way?¡± ¡°The person who just asked that question. Who are you and where are you from?¡± ¡°I¡¯m German from Pergio Magic Tower.¡± ¡°You are still at 1st circle, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°How did you become a 1st circle wizard?¡± ¡°Study hard, train hard¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I did too.¡± After Beatrice gave a simple answer, she opened her mouth, covering the book she was holding. ¡°Then, we¡¯ll wrap up the class.¡± That was the end. Raymond could only learn one thing about her by taking the class. ¡°This is quite difficult.¡±¡¯ That she has a stubborn personality. He quickly got up from his seat and chased after Beatrice. ¡°Beatrice.¡± Raymond called her name while walking slowly. Unlike other people¡¯s respectful name calling for her, he didn¡¯t put ¡°-nim¡± on Beatrice. First of all, she and Raymond are in equal positions. Beatrice, who was walking, glanced at him and immediately turned her head. Why is that? Beatrice saw Raymond. ABut she just ignored him? Her steps became slightly faster. Raymond called her back in embarrassment. ¡°Beatrice Skylar¡±. Raymond called her name once again. ¡°Barrier.¡± In front of Raymond, who was trying to follow, Barrier, a defensive magic spell, was created and blocked his way. Chin When Raymond was blocked by the barrier, he was a little speechless. Aside thinking that it was ridiculous, he don¡¯t understand why she¡¯s doing this to him. Raymond wondered if there was any other story he didn¡¯t know. ¡°What on earth¡­¡± Eventually, he couldn¡¯t catch up to her again, and so he headed home. *** ¡°You¡¯re back, Young master.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± As soon as he returned, Alice was there waiting. She calmly greeted him, perhaps because she already knew he would come back at this time. ¡°Did you stay here all day?¡± ¡°No, I just got here. I knew your class would be over by now.¡± She scratched her cheek and took a step. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the room.¡± ¡°Young master. I have a bath water ready.¡± ¡°Bath water?¡± ¡°Since you moved your body so hard, I thought you¡¯d want to wash your body.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll just wash up.¡± There was no need to refuse if she already prepared it. After returning to the room, he immediately took off his clothes with Alice¡¯s help and entered the bath. He moved for a while, and his muscles clumped up. He didn¡¯t forget to gently move his body to release it. ¡°This body doesn¡¯t have enough muscle yet.¡± When Raymond looked down, he could only sighed. Thanks to his talent in swordsmanship, his body moved on its own, but now his muscles were screaming. Since most of his muscles are under developed, it was natural to have muscle cramps after moving more than usual today I think I¡¯ll have a pretty hard time when I wake up tomorrow morning. He hope that he will soon avoid having muscles cramps in the future. ¡°Hmm¡­ I need to train my body first.¡± Since Raymond is well aware that he is not talented in magic, it was better to use his time for magic training to train his body in the future. knock, knock The knock on the door rang in the big bathroom. ¡°Young master, this is Alice. Can I go in?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll wash myself. Stay outside.¡± He wasn¡¯t used to having someone help him with washing himself. Above all, it felt burdensome and weird, so he just feel comfortable being alone. ¡°It¡¯s clear that Beatrice doesn¡¯t like talking to me¡­Did she just hate me because I am not talented or is there any other special reason?¡± He never imagined that he would be rejected so firmly. Raymond thought for a long time, but he couldn¡¯t reach up to a conclusion, he simply washed himself, put on a simple cloth, and went outside. Alice, who was organizing the room, approached him and handed over the clothes. Although he don¡¯t know any story he has with Beatrice, Alice has been with him for a long time. Wouldn¡¯t Alice know why Beatrice is avoiding him? ¡°ALICE.¡± ¡°Yes, young master.¡± ¡°You know Beatrice, right?¡± ¡°Are you talking about Beatrice, the young lady of the Skylar family?¡± Alice looks at Raymond and asks. Raymond¡¯s face was reflected in her clear eyes. ¡°That Beatrice Skylar.¡± ¡°Of course I know.¡± ¡°Did something happen between me and her? Today, I think Beatrice didn¡¯t like me.¡± Was the question strange? Alice looked confused. ¡°Young master, if you¡¯re not feeling well¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just forgot somethings.¡± Information about Raymond was all he got from novels and grasped over the past few days. Of course, he couldn¡¯t help but want to know the details. Alice lowered her hand to Raymond¡¯s waist and opened her mouth, while tying his belt. ¡°Four years ago, there was an accident.¡± ¡°An accident?¡± ¡°A group of Orcs suddenly appeared at a hunting ground where wild pigs would usually come out, and the young master was in danger. At that time, Jerion saved the young master.¡± Jerion? There was no such name when he recalled of the novel. If so, it means that this is a person who did not appear in the novel. Raymond just don¡¯t know who Jerion is. ¡°He saved me?¡± ¡°Yes, and four years later, he was still unconscious due to the exhaustion of mana and trauma received while dealing with Orcs.¡± ¡°So he became a Vegetative man? Who is Jerion?¡± At that question, Alice once again looks worried. He shook his hand and urged her to answer, and she stared at him for a while and said. ¡°Jerion Skylar, he¡¯s the elder brother of Beatrice.¡± Oh, God. Her words made his mind blank. I think I¡¯m screwed. Chapter 6 ¡°Explain it in detail.¡± Raymond felt like he was having headache. As he frown, Alice slightly lowered her head. ¡°At the annual banquet, like always, the children from prestigious families made a hunting bet.¡± ¡°There was also the Skylar family and the Millennium family.¡± ¡°Yes. Young Master and Young Lady Beatrice participated even though they were young. At that time, Young Lady Beatrice was still at 1st circle wizard, and she was allowed to participate to have an experience like the young master¡­¡± As she remembered that time, Alice frowned slightly and continued. ¡°If only normal monsters came out, there would have been no problem, but a group of Orcs suddenly appeared. Jerion, who was a 4th circle wizard at that time, could deal with the Orcs, but fighting while protecting the young master and Young lady Beatrice was a huge burden to him.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ So, he was attacked by Orcs while protecting Beatrice and me until the end.¡± ¡°Fortunately, the Guards came in time and he didn¡¯t lost his life, but he is still in coma. Even though he run out of mana, it¡¯s a big problem fight against Orcs without using magic¡­¡± This situation itself was ridiculous. Raymond lied down on the bed, exhaling briefly. He don¡¯t know how far this incompetent jerk¡¯s past was trying to ruin things he had planned. Knowing the backstory it was now impossible to exchange words with Beatrice, which he must brought to his side. Really, if the true Raymond was in front of him, he would have beaten him like dust on a rainy day. ¡°This is driving me crazy.¡± He messed up with his hair. He feels like the plan that he envisioned so far is ruined. Alice approached and laid a towel under his head. It was to make sure that his wet hair doesn¡¯t wet his blankets yet. ¡°Are you interested in Young Lady Beatrice?¡± What does this mean? Am I interested? Of course, I¡¯m interested. Didn¡¯t he plan to have this person in order to save his life? However, Alice was thinking of another type of interest. ¡°Beatrice is a genius.¡± ¡°Young Lady is definitely a genius.¡± ¡°She have the talent that I don¡¯t have.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I just need her talent, and nothing more.¡± Raymond sat up in the bad as he casually. Alice naturally came in front of him and dried his hair. ¡°You seem to be afraid.¡± ¡°¡­¡± At Alice¡¯s very sharp words, he couldn¡¯t say anything. To be honest, he was really afraid. I¡¯m scared. My fingertips are shaking. The thought of not wanting to die kept floating in my head. I had no choice but to be desperate to live, and I had no choice but to use my brain somehow. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± With a sigh, Raymond checked that his hair was dry and lay down again. ¡°I¡¯m going to eat breakfast at 10am tomorrow. Please get it ready by then.¡± ¡°You eat a little later than usual.¡± He usually eat breakfast at 8:30 recently. Because of the habit of always taking care of his health when he was an actor. But now, Raymond thought he had to change his schedule slightly. ¡°I¡¯m going to work out in the morning before I eat.¡± ¡°Okay. Then I¡¯ll prepare a meal at 10am.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Raymond said without thinking. At that words, Alice was stunned. She looked at him with a face full of doubt as if she had heard it wrong. ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep, so you can leave.¡± ¡°Yes, thank you. Young master. See you tomorrow morning.¡± There was a smile around Alice¡¯s mouth as she stepped down saying so. *** Exactly 7am. It was the time Raymond opened his eyes. If this was his original world, this time would be considered quite late but here it was still early. Count Millennium always wakes up at 9 am, and everyone tends to move according to his schedule. Perhaps their full-fledged morning starts at 8 o¡¯clock. ¡°Ahhh.¡± Raymond yawned and changed his clothes. As expected, it¡¯s because it was still too early, so his eyes was stinging a little. He wanted to lay and sleep again. However, he somehow overcame it and went outside wearing his clothes for exercise. Alice was standing by the door of his bedroom, waiting. She is really diligent. Why was she waiting for him already? ¡°ALICE?¡± ¡°Yes, young master. You woke up early.¡± ¡°You also woke up earlier than usual. What happened?¡± ¡°I thought the young master will wake up at this time, so I was getting ready.¡± He was a little embarrassed by her words. Is she saying that it was just out of her senses? Raymond looked at her for a moment and nodded once. There¡¯s no reason why he can¡¯t talk about his training. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the training field.¡± ¡°Yes, around 9 o¡¯clock, the knights will use the 1st and 2nd training fields, so you can use the 3rd training field.¡± Alice replied with her head down. When she said he could go to the 3rd training field, he followed her. Arriving at the training field, he started with jogging. Raymond Millennium. This guy didn¡¯t look too fat to look at, but his whole body was filled with fat rather than muscles. He was more like a typical skinny pig. First of all, he had to burn the fat in his body and build muscles. ¡°Hoo, hoo.¡± Soon after, his breath began to get rough. This is evidence of how trash Raymond¡¯s body is. He clenched his teeth and ran. In order not to think it was difficult, he deliberately thought differently. ¡®I may not be able to attract Beatrice to my side anymore.¡¯ It turned out that Beatrice didn¡¯t just hate Raymond because he was an incompetent man. But because he was the cause of her brother¡¯s coma. In the worst case scenario, he may have to give up having Beatrice. ¡°If only I can lead you towards me¡­¡± The more she grows up, the better it was. Hopefully, Beatrice doesn¡¯t become his enemy. ¡°Whoo¡± He breathed heavily and wiped off the sweat pouring down like rain. He didn¡¯t stop. He was going to run until his limbs can¡¯t move anymore. ¡®Beatrice will eventually be helpful when the main character tries to break the kingdom apart later.¡¯ Beatrice will eventually be helpful in a great way. But all he need is someone who can protect him. He might feel sorry but¡­ If such a strong talent appear in front of the protagonist, he will not covet Raymond¡¯s talent. So, even if he face the main character, they could be sacrificed instead of him. He need someone like that. ¡°Among the people who confront the main character in the kingdom, the talented people are¡­¡± There are two people depicted in the novel. Beatrice and Selina. ¡°Should I aim for Selina?¡± Selina Warlug. If he failed to attract Beatrice, he will have to put her aside. But the other won¡¯t be that easy. He still has a chance to often meet Beatrice as a member of the Magic Tower, but Selina was a completely different matter. There was little point of contact with Selina, the Young Lady of the Kingdom¡¯s best swordsman family, the Count Warlug¡¯s family. He will see them only a few times in a year, and it will be over just by saying hello once. ¡°Both are not easy.¡± He slowed down and muttered. The plan of roping Beatrice in his side was broken, so he couldn¡¯t help but vent his frustration. Sweat poured out like rain, and he felt like he was going to lose his breath. Alice, who was watching Raymond from afar, approached. ¡°You went too far.¡± She spoke with a worried face and held out a glass. It was a little reddish water. ¡°I think it¡¯ll be helpful if you drink it after exercising, so I made kuchi tea.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Raymond don¡¯t know what kuchi tea is, but he was thirsty, so he quickly took it and gulped it down. While drinking it, Alice wiped off his sweat. ¡°The housekeeper is here to ask if you could eat together with you father¡­ Should we get ready at 10 o¡¯clock as planned? Or¡­¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll eat with my father.¡± Father. It was just the moment he thought it was time to meet Count Millennium. ¡°Yes, I see.¡± Alice answered right away. *** After finishing exercising, he washed himself. Count Millennium was a father to Raymond, but that did not mean he should be taken lightly. He should be polite in the table with his father. He dressed up and strode away. The door opened, and the people inside the dining room caught his eyes. Count Millennium and Countess were here first. As soon as he entered, he bowed his head slightly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m late.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Count Millennium¡¯s eyebrows wriggled. With a strange expression, he soon beckoned. ¡°Sit down¡±. ¡°Yes.¡± He answered briefly and sat down right away. As soon as he sat down, the food was now being served. Count Millennium looked at him with indifferent eyes, and Countess spoke first. ¡°I think you woke up early this morning. Did you not sleep?¡± ¡°I just woke up early to work out. Thank you for your concern. Countess.¡± He smiled a little bit. This was one of the things he had been pondering about over the past few days. How should he call Countess Millennium? The current Countess Millennium is not Raymond¡¯s biological mother. It¡¯s hard to call her mother, but she¡¯s not just a stranger, so he can¡¯t just call her by name. So what Raymond chose was using the title ¡®Countess.¡¯ ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot.¡± Count Millennium looked at him with strange eyes. This wasn¡¯t what Raymond usually looked like, and it was natural for him to sense his change as his father. ¡°So you quit being a jerk?¡± Count Millennium asked him. He turned his head and looked at him. ¡°I didn¡¯t quit being a jerk.¡± ¡°Then?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to be a rational classy jerk.¡± ¡°That¡¯s irony.¡± As if it were absurd, Count Millennium shook his head. His sharp eyes looked through Raymond¡¯s whole body. ¡°Did you try to be a rational jerk by knocking down two family apprenticeship wizards?¡± ¡°Yes. Those who learned magic with the support of the family clearly ignored me. I needed to certify my position in their mind.¡± ¡°Huh¡­¡± Looking at his son, who had clearly changed, Count Millennium could not come to his senses immediately. Eventually, he changed the subject without saying anything. He turned his sight to the foods without paying attention to him. Perhaps because there was the count, the contents of the table were more than usual. While Raymond was thinking about what to eat first, he heard Count Millennium¡¯s voice. ¡°I don¡¯t care if you won¡¯t attend the banquet this year. However, I would like you to deliver an invitation to the Warlug family.¡± At that, a bell rang on his head. He was looking for other ways, but this is how opportunities came by. ¡°What did you just say?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to give an invitation to Count Warlug¡­¡± Count Millennium said, frowning in the middle of his forehead. Once again, Raymond bowed his head hurriedly when he heard ¡®Count Warlug¡¯. It was to hide a big smile. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°To deliver the invitation to the Warlug family. And¡­ I¡¯ll also attend the banquet.¡± As expected, there must be at least a back up plan if the first one is completely screwed up. Chapter 7 There was silence in the dining room. Raymond don¡¯t know if it was such a shocking thing to say that he would attend the banquet, or they were surprised because he would deliver the invitation to the Warlug family. With a strange atmosphere, Raymond continued eating his meal calmly. Count Millennium and Countess met eyes with each other and spoke. ¡°Raymond.¡± ¡°Yes, father.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot.¡± ¡°I just have a goal.¡± My goal is to survive. Eventually, it will be kill the protagonist of the novel, ¡®the Master of talent¡¯, or die. It¡¯s either one or the other. Raymond¡¯s only goal is killing the main character first before he kills him. In addition, if he can¡¯t return to his original world anyway, he still wanted to life here peacefully. ¡°Are you serious about attending the banquet?¡± ¡°I mean it.¡± ¡°If you attend the banquet again, you¡¯ll have to go to the hunting ground.¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± He did not avoid Count Millennium¡¯s gaze. Looking at his eyes full of complicated feelings, it was only then that Raymond could fully grasp the turning situation. Jerion had an accident four years ago when he went to a banquet, so it must have been a big shock to Raymond. He didn¡¯t seem to have attended the next banquet since then. ¡°This time¡­ I¡¯m going to attend.¡± That way, he had at least one more opportunity to attract Beatrice to his side, and also Selena, I he could. There is nothing you can do if you don¡¯t move. That was the natural reason for people to live. ¡°Okay. Then I¡¯ll keep that in mind and prepare.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Giving an invitation to Count Warlug¡±¡­ We¡¯d better go together. I¡¯ll be right there this afternoon, so get ready.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± I answered simply. Can¡¯t I adapt to my obedient attitude? Count Millennium shook his head once with a face that he couldn¡¯t understand and focused on the meal. He didn¡¯t know yet. That change is just beginning. *** Raymond spent the whole day figuring out Count Warlug. He organized the characteristics he remembered about Count Warlug¡¯s family, which he read in the novel, and also about Selina. Perhaps because Selina was also a character who blocked the main character until the end of the kingdom, the novel described her in a more detailed manner. ¡®A woman with clear silver hair, blue eyes.¡¯ The novel described her like that. There, as if emphasizing, another word was added. ¡°A beautiful woman with clear silver hair and blue eyes.¡± She was beautiful, even Beatrice¡¯s appearance did not have ¡®Beautiful¡¯ in her description. Then, how great her appearance would be if she was described as beautiful? If Raymond saw Selina for the first time, he can recognize her at a glance. ¡°Young master, it¡¯s done.¡± Alice said, taking a step back. Raymond took a look in the mirror. It was an attire that was obviously for wizards, as if he was trying to advertise that he was from a Millennium family. Basically, it was the robe that the Millennium family produced battle wizards, so he wore robes that were comfortable to use during fights. ¡°It¡¯s not bad.¡± It was a little awkward, but it wasn¡¯t that bad to look at, so he nodded once and turned around. Raymond took a step and headed to the Gate, when he heard a voice from the back. ¡°Raymond.¡± ¡°¡­Yes, father.¡± I don¡¯t know why the sound of this father is so awkward. Count Millennium naturally walked alongside me. ¡°If you go¡­¡± ¡°I won¡¯t cause any problems, so don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°¡­Okay.¡± Count Millennium, who was still looking at Raymond, answered shortly and stood in front of the Gate. Raymond saw two apprenticeship wizards standing politely, who were beaten by him not long ago. Their appearance was quite cute, so Raymond laughed. Looking at them, an apprenticeship wizard who made eye contact with Raymond hurriedly bowed his head. ¡°Let¡¯s start the Transfer.¡± He heard someone¡¯s voice. When he closed his eyes once and opened them again, the place has changed. It was a different landscape from the Millennium Residence. Decorative swords hang all over the walls, and there was an atmosphere that made a feel strong pressure. ¡°Welcome, Gerard.¡± ¡°Bain, how many months has it been?¡± Bain, the head of the Count Warlug family, and Count Millennium greeted each other gladly. In the novel it is that they were old friends so he did not feel strange because Sunghyuk has read the novel slowly and carefully. Count Warlug¡¯s gaze turned to Raymond, watching silently. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect your son to follow you. If I had known, I should have brought Selina.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t tell you in advance.¡± ¡°No, It¡¯s should be, I, to feel sorry.¡± Count Warlug said so and turned toward me. Raymond bowed his head slightly to greet him. ¡°Greetings, I am Raymond Millennium.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? The whole kingdom knows you¡¯re Raymond Millennium.¡± Smiling, said Count Warlug. However, while saying so, he looked at Count Millennium. Naturally, Count Warlug also knew well how Raymond was originally, and asked through his eyes what was wrong with his changed attitude. Count Millennium just smiled. ¡°First of all¡­ Let¡¯s move. You don¡¯t have to be like this here.¡± They moved to the reception room with Count Warlug. Since then, formal words have only been exchanged. ¡°I want you to attend a banquet co-hosted by the Millennium Wizard Family and Skylar Wizard family.¡± ¡°Of course I have to go.¡± Count Warlug replied with a nod. He knew everything about Count Millennium coming here anyway, and he didn¡¯t have to break the long tradition. He took an invitation from his arms and presented it to Count Warlug. That¡¯s the end of Raymond¡¯s role here. Listening to the conversations coming and going, he looked at the time and spoke. ¡°I¡­ It¡¯s been a while, so I want to look around the mansion.¡± ¡°Look around as much as you want. Butler, take Raymond and show him around the mansion.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Count Millennium glanced at him, and tried hard to ignore him as he walked with the butler. He had no desire to hear the conversations of the adults forever. Now he have to implement the reason why he was here. He looked around the Mansion. But of course, Selina could not be easily discovered. Eventually, he asked a question to the butler. ¡°I want to see a place like Training field. Is it possible?¡± The butler thought for a moment and replied. ¡°The 1st Training field is used by the knights, and the 2nd Training field is used by Lady Selina¡­ I think it¡¯s possible to just watch.¡± Found her. He was looking around the mansion to find Selina. He couldn¡¯t help but feel happy to find where she was. ¡°Then let¡¯s go there.¡± The butler bowed his head quietly. *** There was really only one person in the second training field. Looking at her wearing leather armor and swinging the sword. He felt there was something strange. He felt she was a little different from what the novel described. ¡°Is it because I didn¡¯t see her face properly yet?¡± Was it this time when her talent failed to manifest? ¡°I think her movements is a little clumsy.¡±¡¯ Selina was wielding a sword, and Raymond felt something wrong on her movements. It was very awkward for the sword to go out first and the tip of her toe to follow later. ¡°Hmm.¡± He nodded and made a small sound, and just in time, Selina came out and stopped her sword as she saw the butler. The shining silver hair slowly turned around, and only then could he see Selina¡¯s face properly. It was only then that he realized how high the standard of ¡®beautiful¡¯ depicted in the novel was. With that much beauty, he can¡¯t compare her to any stars from Earth. Raymond slowly approached her to the side. She looked confused gazing at Raymond. ¡°Young master Raymond Millennium has come to deliver an invitation for the banquet.¡± ¡°Oh, that day is today.¡± Selina mumbled as if she knew now and reached out her hand. He reached out to her actions right away and shook hands. ¡°Nice to meet you. I¡¯m Selina Warlug.¡± ¡°¡­Raymond Millennium.¡± ¡°Since I started attending the banquet, I wanted to see you at least once because you didn¡¯t show your face, but now, I didn¡¯t know I would be meeting you like this.¡± Selina said with a slight smile. It was a business smile, but Raymond couldn¡¯t help but look at her lips. Raymond is currently 18 years old. And Selina is 17 years old. In terms of his original age, he was surprised that he, in his late 20s, could be attracted to a beautiful person at the age of 17. ¡°First of all, more than that¡­¡¯ This isn¡¯t what¡¯s important. ¡°I guess you were practicing swordsmanship.¡± ¡°You¡¯re from the Warlug family.¡± Raymond hesitated for a moment, and he told her how he felt a little while ago. ¡°When you swung a sword, your feet seemed to follow you a little late¡­ Is that really how it should be done?¡± Her eyebrows wrinkled at Raymond¡¯s words. She looked at Raymond with strange eyes. Is her pride hurt or is there any other reason? Selina opened her mouth with a slightly sharper voice than before. ¡°Sword¡­ You must know something¡±. ¡°No, it¡¯s not like that.¡± He shook his head. He knew Raymond was a sword genius. But if he was asked if he knew anything about swordsmanship, the answer would be no. All he knew was from the novel. Selina looked at him with strange eyes and said. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you came to the Warlug family and pointed out our swordsmanship. You¡¯re a rude person.¡± Did I hurt her feelings? His forehead wrinkled. He decided to apologize because he didn¡¯t want to offend her. I¡¯m 16 years old. It was necessary to be careful at every step. Moreover, if he have to bring someone to his side, he needed to exert more effort and care. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to¡­¡± While opening her mouth carefully, Selina gently held out the sword she was holding. ¡°The basic swordsmanship of the kingdom. If you know it, would you like to try?¡± She said proudly. He apologized and tried to refuse. But why? When he saw Selina¡¯s sword, his heart was beating faster. His hand reached out and wanted to grab it unconsciously. Selina smiled and stepped back as if giving him a chance to try. Raymond slowly picked up the sword. And, The sword cried. Chapter 8 TL: the first part of the chapter will be in the first point of view of Raymond/Sunghyuk. See you again on Monday. This will be the last updates this week for the free chapters. I update every weekday with no specific time. *** How many opportunities will the general public have in their lifetime to touch a sword? At most, the kitchen knife is their limit. If someone ask me if I ever touched a sword, my answer would be yes. I also took some basic lessons. For filming and for showing off, I learned one or two moves. Naturally, it was not a real sword that could cut or hurt someone. So this was the first time I actually held a sharp sword. I swallowed my saliva. Was it because of the tension of grabbing the real sword for the first time? I¡¯ve never felt this way before. The feeling of fullness and excitement that I could do anything around me. My heart beat fast, and I was busy facing the sword. I could feel each of my cell responding sensitively. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. How should I swing the sword? In fact, there was no ¡®real¡¯ sword technique that I know of, and even if I swing it right now, I could only swing it recklessly. I do not want to hurt myself by swinging recklessly. ¡°What should I do?¡±¡¯ I thought for a while. To the point where this concern is overshadowed, I already knew the solution. There was a sword technique that I know. One sword technique that I know very well in detail. ¡®The Sword technique used by the main character.¡¯ A Sword technique without a name. Since it was often described in the novel ¡®The Master of talent¡¯, I had no choice but to memorized it in detail. ¡°Raymond? Are you okay?¡± Selina asked worrying about me standing still while facing the sword. As for her, of course, she thought I wouldn¡¯t be able to wield a sword. Maybe she was angry and wanted me to make a fool of myself if I swing the sword recklessly. ¡°Was it too much?¡± In this moment Selina was thinking like that. I took a short breath. That¡¯s how my own ¡®acting¡¯ began. I am the one who knows the main character better than anyone else in the world. Maybe more than the main character himself. What if I ¡®acted¡¯ as the main character? [¡°The Unknown God¡± glitters in anticipation of your acting.] Ignoring the message window, I lowered the sword. Whoosh. The sword swung neatly through the air. Raymond moves half a step forward and twists his body. The sword was being lifted before he knew it. Whoosh. In Raymond¡¯s hand, which he had never held a sword properly, the sword moved freely. The sword cried, as if it was finally freed from the previous ¡®bad¡¯ movements. It was a sense of freedom. Once again, Raymond moves forward half a step, bowed down, and thrust the sword forward. Sharp sound could be heard from the sword. He deliberately took a short break from breathing and swung the sword halfway around. The sword moved at high speed, cutting through the air. As he continued each movement, he kept thinking about the main character in his head. He needed to act the main character thoroughly. To perfectly imitate the main character¡¯s sword technique. He could feel that strong emotions were suppressed deep in his heart. It was wriggling in response to his sword. It was not known whether Raymond always had this feelings or whether it was caused by acting as the main character. Looking at it, he had one question. ¡°Was there a need to keep suppressing this?¡± The answer wasn¡¯t difficult to find. There was no need for him to hold back at all. He needed to free the feeling of suppressing it naturally. Crunch. A sound of something breaking apart was heard. Emotions spread throughout his body, and he felt like it was dominating his body. He could not allow this. His burst pent-up feelings, shouldn¡¯t be allowed to affect him. All of those emotions were put at the end of the sword. Whoosh. The sword was slashed stronger than before. At the end of the sword, he put his life experiences and continued swinging it. Thrust, thrust. As he executed each movement, it seemed like he was swinging it randomly, but after he swung the sword in succession, it became a sword technique with a proper execution. It was only then that Raymond could realize it. When be held a sword, he was no longer an extra. If he have a sword in my hand. At least at that moment, he was the main character. *** Selina laughed a little when Raymond took the sword. Raymond Millennium. Son of Count Millennium, a Master Wizard. Nevertheless, he is still at 1st circle and is an untalented jerk. She was, of course, very familiar with the rumors around Raymond. However, Selina wanted to see him and judge him rather than hearing it from the rumors. That¡¯s why he look at him as unbiased as possible, and tried to see what he was like in reality. Her first impression was, ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s such a jerk.¡± And the following criticism of Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship. ¡°Your feet seemed to follow a little late¡­ Is that how it¡¯s supposed to be done?¡± When Raymond said so, Selina could see that he had no malice in mind. Nevertheless, Selina instinctively acted defensively because she felt as if someone saw her weakness. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you came to the Warlug family and pointed out swordsmanship. You¡¯re a rude person.¡± Normally, she wouldn¡¯t care what Raymond would say about swordsmanship. The problem is that what Raymond has said had already been pointed out from others. She reacted sensitively because of that. ¡°The basic swordsmanship of the kingdom. Would you like to try if you know?¡± She gave him her sword while saying that, she didn¡¯t think Raymond would really accept it. When Raymond picked up the sword. She felt strange inside, but she stepped back thinking about how far he would go and created a space for him to swing the sword. Like that, Raymond began to move the sword. Selina was able to realize that Raymond¡¯s movements were not clumsy in just one swing. She was also a member of the Warlug family and knew well what swordsmanship was. I think he¡¯s a genius. It was not difficult to see that the movement of the sword wielded by Raymond is unusual. The sword split the air. When Raymond¡¯s sword tip headed toward her, Selina faltered without realizing it and took a step back. At that moment, she started to think instinctively about how to prevent the sword from heading toward her. She took her hand to her waist but then she realized that she had no sword. Selina clenched her fist. Her muscles were tense. The more Raymond swung the sword, the more terrible pressure spread around her. Killing intent. It was like a predator, and she was like a prey that couldn¡¯t move. Standing next to Selina, the butler carefully put his hand in his arms. He must have instinctively held his hidden dagger from the pressure caused by his killing intent. ¡°What¡¯s this¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t say it was perfect. Raymond¡¯s body wasn¡¯t suitable for wielding a sword, and perhaps because of that, the butler didn¡¯t feel like he was doing it perfectly. ¡°But still¡­¡± The butler didn¡¯t know how to deal with it. With countless thoughts from both of them, they watched Raymond swinging the sword. *** By the time his sweat began to flow, his sight started to get blurry. He exhaled briefly and stopped swinging the sword after stretching the sword from top to bottom as he did at the beginning. ¡°I¡¯m tired.¡± He turned around and look at Selina, who was trying to calm down her shaky arms. Raymond could see her astonished face. [¡°The Unknown God¡± looks at you with a satisfied face. He praise you for your perfect acting.] The message comes to mind again. Who on earth is this unknown god? Raymond shook his head after thinking for a while. Just thinking about it doesn¡¯t mean he will get the answer, but now there was something more important. He slowly lowered the sword and walked toward Selina. His acting is over. ¡°I don¡¯t know the basic swordsmanship of the kingdom, so I swung it at will.¡± He gave back the sword to her with a polite manner. Selina trembled her lips and received the sword he gave her. ¡°Have you ever learned swordsmanship, young master Raymond?¡± ¡®I don¡¯t know if I should say I learned¡­ Today is the first time I¡¯ve ever swung a sword with a sharp blade.¡± Although he swung sword when he was acting, it was not a real sword. He didn¡¯t even learn properly. So he answered truthfully. Honestly, he wanted to leave a good impression as much as possible. Selina groaned quietly. How can such a perfectly executed sword technique was executed when he didn¡¯t even learn how any swordsmanship? She was confused. ¡°You¡­ are very different from what I thought.¡± Selina looked at Raymond with eyes full of complicated feelings. He was very aware of rumors about Raymond. He knew what she was talking about. ¡°You are really different from what I thought.¡± ¡°What did you think about it?¡± ¡°I thought¡­ You look pretty with silver hair.¡± With a light smile, Raymond lowered his gaze towards his hands. He been bothered by the blisters in his hands since earlier. His palm that held the sword was badly peeled. Seeing that he was about to scratched a blister, he felt it was a little ridiculous. ¡°Ha.¡± Raymond don¡¯t even think he had swung a sword for so long, but he can¡¯t believe his palm is already like this. ¡°Your hands¡­¡± ¡°Oh, don¡¯t worry too much because I can treat it simply later.¡± It¡¯s nothing but a dry hand. It will not even take a day or two to heal this. If he did something wrong while acting earlier, these amount of wounds would be nothing. He tried to cover his hand because it wasn¡¯t something he needed show her, but Selina already saw it She ¡®Tsk¡¯ her tongue and turned her head slightly and looked at the butler. ¡°Butler.¡± ¡°Yes, lady.¡± ¡°Please treat Raymond.¡± ¡°Okay, lady.¡± The butler bowed his head slightly in response. *** ¡°I was surprised to see him run out of nowhere. Raymond must have caused an accident.¡± Count Millennium spoke to Count Warlug, looking at Raymond and Selina standing far away. Count Warlug was just looking at Raymond and did not give much answer. ¡°Gerard.¡± At the voice of Count Warlug calling him, Count Millennium turned his head. With his forehead narrowed, Count Warlug continued to speak. ¡°Your son.¡± ¡°Why Raymond?¡± ¡°He knows how to use a sword.¡± ¡°What does that mean? Raymond has never touch a sword in his life.¡± Count Millennium shook his hand as it was not the time to joke around. However, Count Warlug¡¯s face was serious. ¡°It was definitely the skill of a man who had learned swordsmanship.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°The swordsmanship he just shown is from someone who had taken thousands of lives.¡± Count Warlug muttered. He glanced at his arm. He got goosebumps. His body reacted by itself to the terrible killing intent. ¡®Something big will happen to the Millennium family.¡¯ He thought to himself. Chapter 9 ¡°How did you meet Selina?¡± Count Millennium asked. What is the intention of his question? He wanted to ask that question but Raymond saw the gaze of Count Millennium at him. ¡°I came because I was curious.¡± ¡°What were you curious about?¡± Count Millennium asked as he took a step forward. The space between his eyes narrowed. He had to use his brain to understand Count Millennium¡¯s intention for asking such question. ¡°Were you curious about her beautiful appearance? Were you curious about her swordsmanship?¡± When he heard the question, Raymond wanted to laugh. Because he felt like he knew what they were thinking about by asking such questions. Perhaps because of his previous ¡®Jerk¡¯ character, he only wanted to see Selina¡¯s appearance. ¡°I was curious about her.¡± At times like this, he knows it¡¯s better to answer honestly. He said it as it is. Selina Warlug. Meeting her was to identify her characteristics and bring her to his side as soon as possible. Fortunately, he haven¡¯t done any negative doings to her for now, so he thought they get together more after talking enough at the banquet later. Count Millennium¡¯s question, which followed after his honest answer, was unexpected. ¡°Where did you learn that sword technique?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never learned it.¡± ¡°You were holding a sword earlier.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my first time swinging it.¡± ¡°Huh.¡± Count Millennium slightly frowned. His old friend, Bain Warlug, said Raymond was definitely a swinging the sword with a top-notch skill. When it comes to swordsmanship, the best family was the Warlug family, and Bain Warlug was the most skilled swordsman in the family. But if he said so, it was clear that Raymond showed more than a certain level of swordsmanship, so it should be his first time swinging the sword today. ¡°Bain said that while you were swinging your sword, it was full of killing intent. You were definitely skilled in swordmanship.¡± What does this mean? His body flinched momentarily. Killing intent was ingrained? There¡¯s no way he can know that. He just swung it. But he could guessed why. ¡®Is it because I acted as the main character?¡± The protagonist of the novel, The Master of Talent, was a person who had resentment for the world and a desired to kill. It was not unreasonable to emmit killing intent as long as he followed the main character¡¯s sword technique. ¡°¡­I guess I¡¯m talented in swordsmanship.¡± It¡¯s not wrong. Raymond actually has a talent for swordsmanship. Count Millennium smiled as if that was absurd. ¡°The only son of the Millennium family is talented in swordsmanship. Everyone would laugh at me if the world knew.¡± He did believed that Raymond is talented in swordsmanship. Raymond¡¯s image that Count Millennium has seen so far had been just the image of an untalented 1st circle wizard. He¡¯s even a jerk. But now that someone said he was talented in swordsmanship, he couldn¡¯t take it seriously immediately. Raymond could see his thoughts, so he ¡®tsk¡¯ his tongue lightly. Like Count Millennium said. People in this world would not believe it immediately. Raymond born from a Wizardry Family, had actually talent for swordsmanship. But those things didn¡¯t matter to him at all. ¡°It¡¯s more important that he live.¡± Swing the sword and grow. For his survival. *** Since that day, he have steadily trained himself. When he went to Count Warlug and swung a sword, he realized something. That my body can¡¯t keep up with his talent. Raymond was certainly a genius in swordsmanship. The problem is that his body is not properly trained right now, so he can¡¯t even swing the sword properly. Even if he swung it a little, he would become fired and his palms would be full of blisters immediately. ¡°Young master, I¡¯ll wipe your sweat.¡± ¡°Oh, thank you.¡± Alice approached and began to wipe off the sweat carefully. He stood still for a while, stabilizing his rough breathing, and when be saw Alice stepping down, he took a step. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the first training field.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure the knights are training now¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m saying let¡¯s go.¡± He immediately replied to Alice¡¯s He wanted to see the training of the knights. He wanted to see the proper kingdom basic sword technique. Alice looked a little worried, but she didn¡¯t disobey him. It may be because she have known that he is a person who does what he wants. Alice just follow Raymond, one step behind him. ¡°Ha!¡± ¡°Palin! You put too much pressure on your shoulders!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll correct it!¡± As he headed to the first training field, he heard numerous sounds. Dozens of people were wielding training swords in the training field. Perhaps this is the most of Count Millennium¡¯s knight history. The family raise knights just in case, but they were more adept in training wizards. He stood far away and watched the knights wield their swords. It was similar to Selina¡¯s move from Count Warlug last time. The basic sword technique of the kingdom. ¡°But¡­ I think everyone¡¯s swordsmanship is similar to Selina¡¯s.¡± The movement was somewhat awkward, and even their movements were not efficient. He expected a little because they were knights of a prestigious family, but to be honest, he was disappointed. ¡°The knights over there¡­ Are they official knights? Still, he asked Alice just in case. He wanted to hear that they were knight in training. But¡­ ¡°Yes, these are official Knights of the Millennium Knights¡±. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Those are official Knights? Recognizing that Raymond seems to didn¡¯t like them, Alice took half a step forward and spoke. ¡°They¡¯re very strong.¡± ¡°Really? Honestly, I think they are no different from Selina.¡± ¡°Are you talking about the young lady, Selina Warlug?¡± ¡°Yes, that Selina.¡± He nodded. Rather, he thought she was better than them. Alice carefully opened her mouth. ¡°I heard that she is a genius of swordsmanship. Perhaps the level of swordsmanship itself is similar to that of formal knights. But if they compete in practice right away, it will be Selina Young-ae¡¯s victory.¡± ¡°Really? Do you have any experience? Is it like this?¡± Raymond was confused and asked. No matter how much he thought about it, he thought Selina and the knights in front of him would be neck and neck if they exchange swords. ¡°All formal Knights of the family can use Mana. No matter how good they are at swordsmanship, they can¡¯t become a knight if they don¡¯t use Mana.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Oh. If that was the case, he could understand it now. ¡°The master of talent¡± also mentioned the importance of mana several times. No matter how good someone was on swordsmanship is, it will be hard to fight without Mana. In fact, wasn¡¯t there a scene where the main character barely managed to deal with the Orc group because he couldn¡¯t use Mana even with Raymond¡¯s sword skills in the beginning? ¡°Should I learn how to use mana, too?¡±¡¯ It¡¯s because Sunghyuk doesn¡¯t know anything about Mana that he didn¡¯t took notice the of it, but he didn¡¯t think it would be too difficult simply to deal with Mana. In the first place, Raymond was a 1st circle wizard, and he could use basic elementary magic. While thinking inside himself, the shouts of the knights subsided. Whether the training was completed or not, their swords were facing the ground. A middle-aged man, who had been pushing the knights hard until just now, came out and found Alice and approached them. ¡°What brings you here?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Rather than welcoming him as the Young Master of the family they are serving of, it was close to the meaning of ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Seeing that the Knight was sharp, Raymond didn¡¯t get along well with the knights. Alice quietly stood behind Raymond and did not react much. In the first place, she seemed to have expected that this situation would happen. ¡°I was just wondering around.¡± Raymond¡¯s influence is great. In his words, a middle-aged man hummed and made a sound. He didn¡¯t seem to like him. ¡°You came to see us who only know how to swing swords ignorantly, so you must have been frustrated because the magic training didn¡¯t go well.¡± The middle-aged man replied. Alice, who was behind him, looked up and stared at a middle-aged man. Alice also knew that what a middle-aged man said now was clearly ignoring the position of Raymond. At first glance, they seem to talk while lowering themselves in front of their young master, but they were deliberately talking about magic training and mentioning that he was not talented in magic. Previously, Raymond has said that those knights are just swinging their swords carelessly so they didn¡¯t like him. ¡°Oh¡­¡± He raised his hand and scratched his head. He don¡¯t like the fact that he have to clean up Raymond¡¯s mess, but what can he do? This is his life now. ¡°In the end, I have to fix his mess again.¡± It¡¯d be nice if he could live a tranquil life. How can he let it slide because there are people who ignore him like this because of Raymond¡¯s usual behavior? He must let them now who is their master. He closed his eyes and opened them, and he started ¡°acting. [The Unknown God¡± is happy that there is suddenly something to see.] Ignoring the rising message window in front of him. He told him. ¡°I think you are not good enough for sure.¡± In his words, the middle-aged man¡¯s forehead narrowed. He didn¡¯t expect this answer. ¡°My my¡­ We¡¯re not that talented but we¡¯re necessary for the family. You can¡¯t live without the Knights.¡± The middle-aged man smiled and said. This time, too, his words ignored Raymond. They are still necessary for the family, and they were saying like, ¡°What are you?¡± ¡°Even a child can do swordsmanship. Is he necessary for a family?¡± Smirking. This was funny. He was thinking that such swordsmanship was necessary for the family. The forehead of the middle age man, wrinkled. ¡°Sword technique that even a child can do? Young master.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Middle-aged men eventually frowned openly. But he soon put a light smile around his mouth as if he had an idea. ¡°Then young master. Do you want to try it?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°If it¡¯s a sword technique that even a child can do, the young master can do it.¡± The middle-aged man said so. It was obvious what his intention was. Do you want me to take it or not? Raymond don¡¯t want to do what his opponent wants, but he worried that it will let their head bigger. ¡°Prove that it¡¯s a sword technique that even a child can do.¡± ¡°Well¡­ Like a fight. Even a child can do it. If it¡¯s a sword technique, you can do it.¡± A middle-aged man spoke provocatively. After listening to him. Raymond stopped laughing. Chapter 10 Gordon Corman, the commander of the Millennium Knights. He didn¡¯t like Raymond. How could he listen to the remarks coming from a person that would always show his contempt towards them? Aren¡¯t wizards and knights always at odds? It was regrettable that he could not lead the knights properly, but it was okay. Because he was proud and satisfied of being the Commander of the Millennium Knights. But, if it weren¡¯t for Raymond, who had been a Jerk for years, his reputation wouldn¡¯t falter. Gordon Corman was becoming a laughing stock among the knights. It started since the image of the Commander knight from a Wizardry Family has begun to change into the knight for the incompetent Jerk son of the family. It was when Raymond started beating his servants that he started thinking negatively about Raymond and his reputation had gone in ruin. Despite that, there is no denying fact that if Raymond becomes a runaway in the future, he would still have to follow him. He could see the future of being thrown out as pawns when dealing with stronger people just for Raymond to save himself. Still, he came all the way here while trying to calm down. Even if he is a Jerk young master, he is still his master. ¡°You came to see us who only know how to swing swords ignorantly, so you must have been frustrated because your magic training didn¡¯t go well.¡± Of course, he thought Raymond would be intimidated and wouldn¡¯t answer properly or just answer randomly and step down. However, the situation went completely different from what he thought. ¡°I think I¡¯m ignorant for sure.¡± Clearly Raymond responded back to Gordon Corman and even provoked him afterward. ¡°Even a child can do swordsmanship. Are you really necessary for the family?¡± When he heard that, Gordon Corman couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He felt like that the incompetent young master, who couldn¡¯t do anything alone and treated his subordinates like garbage, was now looking down swordsmanship. ¡°If it¡¯s a sword technique that even a child can do, the young master can do it. What about a spar? To compare this childish swordsmanship you deemed of.¡± Of course, he won¡¯t come forward himself. Since he was the commander, he didn¡¯t need to spar with the young master himself. But no matter which Knight comes out, aren¡¯t they strong enough to break down the incompetent young master in front of them? Of course, it would be done moderately, but at least they would be able to tell to their young master about the reality. ¡®I¡¯ll show you clearly that you shouldn¡¯t look down on knights.¡¯ Gordon Corman stared at Raymond, thinking inside. *** ¡°A spar¡­¡± Isn¡¯t it funny? Originally, it didn¡¯t make sense to ask him for a spar. Raymond was basically the Young Master of the Millennium Family, dubbed as one of the greatest Wizardry Family. Did any Millennium family member ever had a confrontation with Knights and swords? There was definitely none. In the first place, each if the Millennium family members had never touch a sword. The only sword they use was just a short dagger they carry around just in case. A spar against Raymond? Of course, they were trying to humiliate him by completely crushing him. Even though Raymond knew all of those intentions, he had no choice but to laugh inside himself. However, to be able to touch the sword once again, this was interesting. He know the opponent¡¯s capability is, so he can win if he do well. ¡°Of course, if you¡¯re afraid, you don¡¯t have to do it. I¡¯m not forcing you at all.¡± That¡¯s what the middle-aged man in front of Raymond said. The commander was really trying to lead to a direct of confrontation as much as possible. ¡°Young master¡­¡± Eventually, Alice tried to come forward, but he raised his hand to block her. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do it. What¡¯s the rule?¡± At that, Gordon Corman tried to hide his smile and spoke. ¡°Hmm¡­ Since you¡¯ve never learned swordsmanship, you can fight with our youngest.¡± He said so and beckoned and called a knight. A Knight, who was sitting on the floor watching the situation, jumped up and approached them. Gordon Corman, who confirmed that the youngest knight was coming, continued. ¡°Of course, no using of Mana. And¡­ If the young master hits our youngest, you will win. On the contrary, the youngest wins if the young master shouts to surrender.¡± As if he was asking if this was okay, Gordon Corman looked at Raymond. The previous Raymond wouldn¡¯t be able to win even if this were the conditions, but he is different. No matter how trained the youngest knight was, the knight was a knight, and it will not be easy for the knight to make him surrender. He isn¡¯t the previous Jerk anymore. He¡¯s a crazy swordsmanship genius. ¡°Bring a wooden sword.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Two wooden swords were prepared. It was a wooden sword with an iron core embedded in it, giving it a similar feeling to a real sword. Raymond grabbed a wooden sword. Even though it was not a real sword, his heart was beating hard. The desire to swing the sword quickly spread from his heart to the whole body. His muscles that are not trained wriggled and get nervous. ¡°Then we¡¯ll start the battle.¡± Gordon Corman looked through the knights sitting in a circle and spoke. Raymond wanted to start the battle immediately but he wasn¡¯t satisfied with just that. ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve said anything important yet.¡± ¡°What kind of¡­¡± ¡°Reward.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ If the young master wins, I¡¯ll admit that it¡¯s a sword trick that even a child can do, and I¡¯ll voluntarily step down from the position of the commander of the Millennium knights.¡± Gordon Corman threw out a strong bet. Raymond just shrugged. ¡°But if the young master loses¡­You have to admit that the swordsmanship of our Knights is not a sword technique that even children can do, and make a formal apology.¡± Admitting and apologizing, in fact, what Gordon Corman wants right now would be embarrassing Raymond in front of the knight. He looked around. The knights were looking at the both of them as if they had found something interesting to see. Raymond wasn¡¯t a very good young master for them either. ¡°Then let¡¯s start.¡± He smiled and looked at Gordon Corman. Gordon Corman marked the beginning of the confrontation. ¡°Go!¡± *** Raymond held the wooden sword. It has a proper weight and a tight grip. A smile formed around his mouth. He clearly saw the swordsmanship of the knights. It was a swordsmanship that don¡¯t use mana and only strike once. He slowly lifted the sword and took the proper stance. It looks pretty good. ¡°Come here first.¡± The youngest knight said as if he was mocking him. But Raymond, who had been obsessed with the idea of wielding a sword since earlier, did not mind it. He is confident in this confrontation and there¡¯s no reason to refuse. As he breathed heavily, he started ¡°acting. He dashed forward. Swush! Both the wooden sword collided in the air and made a sound. ¡°Huh?¡± The youngest knight exclaimed confused. Raymond was a much faster and wielded the sword sharper than he expected. An immediate Sword attack after knowing the weakness and clearly aiming for it. Raymond smiled at his reaction. If he hadn¡¯t block the attacks immediately, he would have lost at once for being careless. Raymond could see the youngest knight¡¯s eyes shaking. He must be confused. Because a guy who didn¡¯t seem to have learned anything about swordsmanship had actually swung the sword properly. In the next moment, the sword strikes at his chest. Smack! With a dull sound, Raymond sent another attack to the Youngest Knight. However, Raymond instinctively decided that it would be better to let it go because it was difficult to break the sword of the youngest knight due to the difference in muscle strength. They only bumped the sword twice, but Raymond could already feel the pain in his palms. ¡°It hasn¡¯t been long since I started. What is this?¡± His body was weaker than he thought. He had to finish this confrontation as soon as possible. His Muscle started to cramp and his palms were hurting. If this was drag long, he will only be at a disadvantage. He focused and thrust the sword forward. His sword quickly stretched out aiming for the neck of the youngest knight, but the knight dodge at a high speed and avoided the strike. ¡°Ha!¡± The youngest knight attacked him with the sword. At the moment, he took a step back and swung the wooden sword he recovered to avoid the strike and hit the youngest knight¡¯s arm. Hit! The wooden sword and arm collided and made a sound. According to the rules if Raymond made a strike, it would be his victory. However, neither the youngest knight nor him had any intention of stopping here. They were no longer in a state where they would stop. Raymond was drunk on the spar and tried to release the emotions that were overflowing deep inside. As he did last time, Sunghyuk released his inner feelings while wielding a sword. Argh! The suppressed emotions wandered all over his body and started emanating at the end of his sword. The Killing intent came out. Everyone around him flinched because no one expected that a Killing Intent would suddenly stretch out from the sword of Raymond. The youngest knight clenched his teeth and let go. In order not to lose to his life, he also instinctively showed his Killing intent, the same one he used to kill his opponent. He didn¡¯t use Mana because his reasons still remains, but it could be seen that the killing Intent of Raymond was thicker and more pressuring. At any moment he would have to use Mana and swung the sword without realizing it. Raymond slipped away with his sword and lifted his foot to kick the youngest knight¡¯s leg. This is a little different from the swordsmanship of the knights, who would only honestly swing swords. It thoroughly examines efficiency and performs swordsmanship that can be used in practice. This is the sword technique that the protagonist of ¡°the Master of talent¡± has. The reaction of the youngest knight, who had always spar with the other knights, was bound to be slow. ¡°Pfft.¡± The power of the slash of the sword with the shock of the kick of Raymond, the youngest knight staggered for a moment. Naturally, Raymond didn¡¯t miss the timing. Even those without talent for swordsmanship could see that this was an opportunity. The sword moved quickly and split the air. And just before hitting the back of the youngest knight¡¯s neck. The sword stopped. As soon as every spectator saw it, no one responded. They couldn¡¯t say anything. ¡°¡­¡± Silence. Amidst that silence, a message came to Raymond¡¯s eyes. [¡°The Unknown God¡± claps with joy.] Chapter 11 Gordon Corman doubted what he just saw. An incompetent jerk. That was the image of Raymond that Gordon remembered. A jerk who doesn¡¯t know how to do anything and always bothering others by relying on his background. Always ignoring knights, saying magic is the best. That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t doubt that Raymond would lose to the youngest knight. The match between Raymond, who had never trained before, and the youngest knight, who spent his entire life training his swordsmanship, the victor should have been decided before it started. But that wasn¡¯t the outcome he expected. The current scene he saw was the opposite. The youngest knight was being pushed by Raymond since the beginning. He was not a match to Raymond in the first place. The youngest knight¡¯s attacks did not work at all to Raymond. Did Raymond use magic? No. It was impossible. No matter how much a jerk Raymond is, did he have the guts to break the rules in the first place? Above all, Raymond is incompetent. It would be really funny if he used magic when he didn¡¯t know how to use it. And even if he use it, it did not mean that the youngest knight would be defeated. The Millennium family is a Wizardry Family, and as the family¡¯s knights they all learned how to cope up with magic. In many ways, the youngest knight should have really won. However, as Raymond held the sword, the atmosphere around him had changed at some point. He became more serious and sharper. The confrontation began, and Gordon Corman unknowingly admired him. Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship was practical. He knew how to effectively overpower the opponent. Gordon was curious. Raymond had never touch the sword, and he was from a wizard family, so why would he learn swordsmanship? Seeing his ability, this must be the reason why he was confident. At some point, his initial thoughts changed to astonishment. When Raymond¡¯s momentum changed, his Killing intent was so dense that he, the Commander, almost pulled out his sword. But in the end, he couldn¡¯t deny his admiration anymore when he saw Raymond overpowering the youngest knight. Although it was true that he didn¡¯t like him, there was one thing he was certain with. ¡®He¡¯s a genius. The young master was actually talented in swords, not magic.¡¯ Raymond possess an overwhelming talent for swordsmanship. *** ¡°Whoo¡­¡± Raymond took a deep breath. Slowly, the wooden sword pointed at the neck of the youngest knight was lowered. The Killing Intent that he had unknowingly exuded quickly disappeared. ¡°Good.¡± Yeah, this is how it feels. I love this feeling of wielding a sword and sweating. After looking at the sky, he slightly lowered his head and looked away. The youngest knight looked up to him blankly. It seems like his defeat hadn¡¯t sink in yet. ¡°Tsk.¡± Perhaps because Raymond broke away from his concentration, the pain in his palms started registering on his mind. When he ¡®tsk¡¯ his tongue, the youngest knight in front of him flinched and trembled. Raymond look down and he could see blood dripping down from his hand holding the wooden sword. It was too much for him to hold the wooden sword anymore. ¡°Take it.¡± He tossed over the wooden sword towards the youngest knight, who was still in daze. The youngest knight hurriedly accepted the wooden sword. And he was stunned when he saw the blood at the handle of the wooden sword. He seemed worried about what injury did the young master received. Alice rushed over as she saw the blood dripping from Raymond¡¯s hand. ¡°Young master¡¯s hand.¡± She took out a handkerchief and tied it around his hand. In this way, it will be able to stop bleeding. However, Raymond didn¡¯t seem to mind it because his mind was elsewhere. ¡°It¡¯s refreshing.¡± As he swing the sword, he felt free for some reason. By wielding a sword, he could pour out all the emotions he had inside. After wielding a sword, he felt better. ¡°It hurts.¡± The pain increased with the contact between the wound and the handkerchief. He wanted to tell Alice that there was no need to put the handkerchief, he could go directly to the clinic without it but he choose to shut up. Because the stunned commander was approaching. ¡°I will give up my position as the commander of the knight, as promised.¡± It could be said that this was his dream job. But now he had to step down from the position that he could barely get by with all his efforts If his past self knew the outcome, he wouldn¡¯t have bet his position. He is the Commander of the Knights from the Millennium family. No one could easily let go of what they got after hard work. ¡®I didn¡¯t mean to have him stepped down from his position in the first place.¡¯ It just amused him to see the commander looking down at his young master, also he wanted to hold the sword again. If he really step down from the position, it would become very annoying. He may be called by Count Millennium and be blamed. He was already busy, so he didn¡¯t want to waste his time on that. ¡°Young master.¡± Seems like Gordon knew what his face meant. ¡°Never mind. Let¡¯s pretend today didn¡¯t happen. Because I will be bothered if you put me down as the commander.¡± He shook his hand as if not to talk anymore. ¡°¡­.¡± The commander of the knight shut his mouth. Perhaps he was embarrassed by what he just said unexpectedly. ¡°Train properly. Don¡¯t be conceited and tarnish the family¡¯s name.¡± That was the last thing he said before he had gone back to Alice. However, the commander of the knight blocked him. ¡°What is it?¡± Raymond was now a little annoyed. Gordon should be contented that he didn¡¯t need to step down from his position. ¡°Young master.¡± ¡°What?¡± What did he want to say now? ¡°This bet is¡­¡± Was it hard to believe that he lost? ¡°This bet is nothing.¡± When he read the novel, there were many people like that. They made a bet with the main character, but they couldn¡¯t admit it when they lost. Was this different to the commander of the knight general? Raymond don¡¯t think so. Those who have reached the top have strong pride. Losing to a bum like Raymond, they hated it more than dying. Unlike what Raymond was currently thinking, Gordon did otherwise. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to learn swordsmanship?¡± He said something unexpected. He was asking him if he wanted to learn swordsmanship. Looking at him, he continued. ¡°Swordsmanship. Young masters your are talented in this field rather than magic!¡± Gordon began to get excited. His eyes flashed with greed. ¡°I¡¯ve met quite a few knights. But no one, is like young master. You can use that kind of swordsmanship already at your first time!¡± ¡°So what?¡± He stared at him. What Gordon just said was true. Certainly, it was hard to think that his swordsmanship was coming from a beginner. This was the natural reaction if he immitated the main character¡¯s sword technique. ¡°Young master has an amazing talent! From the leading sword technique to the method of effectively overpowering. If a stranger saw it, they would have thought that the young master had trained swordsmanship his whole life. No, you would have been known as a mercenary who already went the battlefield.¡± He talked too long. Raymond could understand it if only he just talked briefly. ¡°You talk too long. Just say it in simple words.¡± His lengthy words just confused him more. Even if he don¡¯t have to wrap it up, he can already see what he¡¯s trying to say. ¡°Learn swordsmanship from me. I will make you strong.¡± Strong. For Raymond, who has a strong desire to live, these words were attractive enough. Yeah, at least for those who have a strong desire to be strong over time. He want to be strong. But it was not something it could be done within few days. There were many more important things to him than training swordsmanship. And all of them are essential things to protect his life. Between what he can¡¯t obtain right away and what he can get right now with hard work. If anyone had to choose between the two, wouldn¡¯t they choose the second one? Especially if the circumstances is quite urgent; a matter of life and death. ¡°I don¡¯t have time for that.¡± No time. That was true. In order to create a force that could counter the protagonist, he have to move quickly and efficiently. ¡°But¡­¡± Even with his words, Gordon did not give up. Raymond¡¯s ¡®acting¡¯ must have impacted him greatly. Incredible talent. Anyone who wield the sword wants it and longs for it. ¡°Didn¡¯t the young master say he won¡¯t do it?¡± Alice stepped up as she noticed that Raymond was in trouble. Gordon glanced over her and then look at him again. Alice was angry to have been ignored but before she could say something to the commander, Raymond stopped her. ¡°Young master?¡± It didn¡¯t suit Raymond to have her step up. It was shameful for a man to hide behind a woman. He didn¡¯t accept the bet to get attention. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to learn swordsmanship. Instead, I¡¯ll take your sword.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± The knight¡¯s face hardened slightly by what he said. ¡°That¡¯s enough, right?¡± ¡°Do you know what that means?¡± ¡°I know. I know. That¡¯s why I¡¯m saying this.¡± The Commander hesitated for a moment. Then, he knelt down on his left knee, took the sword in his waist, and handed it over to Raymond with both hands. ¡°I will treat it well.¡± It was a little different from the youngest knight¡¯s sword. If a person receives the sword from a knight, they would also receive their loyalty. It can be said that having the commander¡¯s black sword wins the favor of the entire group of knights he commanded. As long as Raymond have this sword, the other knights can¡¯t easily touch him unless they are idiots. Because insulting him will insult the Commander of the knight. Getting a sword from the commander of the knight means that he recognized him as his master. Besides that, there are other things he can get, but he didn¡¯t want it right now. ¡®If I have this sword, in time I will also learn his swordsmanship.¡¯ Knowing that, the commander of the knight hesitated and but still gave him the sword. Raymond didn¡¯t think he¡¯d actually give it to him. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± *** 15 days has passed in a blink of an eye. During that time, he spent his time exercising and preparing for a banquet. ¡°This banquet is a battlefield.¡±¡¯ It was not possible to visit Count Warlug at will, so this opportunity was extremely rare. ¡°I¡¯ve prepared enough.¡± Exercising, choosing appropriate clothes for the banquet¡­ He had been really busy these days. Was it because his hidden purpose of getting close to Selina? To attract her on his side? As the banquet day approached, he became more nervous. Will he be able to do it well? This opportunity may be blown away by just a simple mistake. ¡®Must act like usual. Normal.¡¯ He took a deep breath. It¡¯s not good to be this nervous already. He must act like the usual. ¡°Tomorrow.¡± For tomorrow, when the banquet will be held, he needed to rest. Anything requires confidence and stamina. He closed his eyes with that thought. And, The banquet day had finally come. Chapter 12 Alice approached and knocked on the door. ¡°Come on in.¡± Alice came in with Raymond¡¯s clothes in her hands. She walked towards Raymond and showed him the clothes. ¡°Young master, I brought the clothes you have requested.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± A black suit. It was a simple outfit without other decorations. It was custom-made because the already made ones are not up to his taste. On top of the suit, he would be wearing a cape with the insignia of the Millennium family. ¡°This is not bad.¡± Yeah, this is what clothes should be. These clothes fit him better than those clothes with various accessories adorned. ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Alice brought a mirror in front of him. Well-combed dark brown hair? Suit? His appearance fits perfectly the description of a handsome man, moreover, wearing the black suit made him look elegant and classy. He put the sword he got from the commander on his waist. He is now perfectly ready. ¡°Good.¡± He nodded and walked along with Alice. ¡°Young master Raymond is here.¡± Alice told the knights. Even if she didn¡¯t announce his name, they all know him. This place was the Millennium Estate, and they were Millennium knights. Nevertheless, announcing his name was just for formality. The door opened smoothly and the knights all look at him. Looking at their eyes, it seems like they were telling him to go in. Alice looked back at Raymond and said, ¡°Young master, I have something else to do¡­¡± ¡°Yeah. Go ahead.¡± ¡°I hope you have a great time in the banquet.¡± Alice bowed her head and left. She have a lot of work to do during the banquet. Gazing at her back, she entered through the doors opened by the knights. Raymond looked around. Even though it was still early, the banquet hall was already filled with nobles from all over the world. There were nobles standing in front of the orchestra. They were smiling satisfied while listening to the sweet music. There was a large fighting ring at the edge of the banquet hall. It was a field built in case a fight starts during the banquet. Sometimes, the children who couldn¡¯t stand arguing to each other, would climb up to fighting ring and fight. The most interesting thing in the banquet was obviously watching the fights. ¡®Most of the nobles dressed similarly.¡¯ The current trend of clothes are clothes with colorful colors. Most of the noble¡¯s children are adorned with either lace or ornaments. And since the start of the banquet, their parents and powerful aristocrats have been talking with glasses up one by one. ¡°Hahaha, so¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m¡­¡± The nobles, who are in the same group together, showed off to each other. Their mouths were smiling, but their eyes were cold and we¡¯re looking for flaws to nitpick on. They shook their heads for show but behind their backs, they would speak ill of one another as soon as they notice a single gap. ¡°This kind of life is tiring.¡± Why do they backstab each other but then smile amicably in an event like this? Ignoring them, he took a step. ¡°Is there anything you want?¡± A servant who was walking around the banquet hall approached Raymond and asked. He shake his hand and sent him away. ¡°Huh? Who do we have here? It¡¯s Raymond. How have you been?¡± At that time, a man with a bulging stomach approached and talked friendly. Did Raymond know this person? He greeted him without expressing his doubt. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m fine. How have you been?¡± ¡°Hmm? I¡¯m fine too. But you¡¯ve changed.¡± He looked at Raymond with a strange look. His eyes seems like he was evaluating a product. Raymond ignored his gaze and answered ¡°People can¡¯t be the same forever.¡± ¡°Is that so? Hahaha. Well then, keep up the good work.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Raymond bowed his head slightly and left. He felt gazes looking at his back, but he didn¡¯t care. ¡°Huh? Raymond.¡± ¡°Why did you come out this time?¡± Surprisingly, there were many people who knew Raymond. No, maybe they knew him from the rumors. He must have been a popular topic among this nobles. From what he could remember at Raymond¡¯s memory, only few of them are familiar with him. He is already exhausted just from greeting each of them, one by one. ¡°I can¡¯t get tired this soon.¡± He sighed. It would have been better if he had ignored them, but because he is the son of the person who host this banquet, he was required to. Are they curious about Raymond, who attended the banquet for the first time after four years? They showed great interest to him as they approach for a talk. That¡¯s why he got tired immediately. ¡°There are more people.¡± There were so many people that he felt like the banquet hall was full. ¡°I have to find Selina.¡± His purpose of coming here, in the first place, was to get more acquainted with Selina. He never thought of building friendship with others. ¡®She must be surrounded by people.¡¯ Like Beatrice, she is a sword genius who fought against the protagonist until the end. Raymond met her for the first time when he visited Count Warlug to deliver the invitation. The basic requirement to get close to her have been established. ¡®For sure she is standing out among the nobles.¡¯ He could already expect it even if he didn¡¯t see it himself. The scene where many young masters are hovering around her, just for a talk came to his mind. ¡°Where is she?¡± It was time to find her. ¡°Young Master Raymond.¡± He turned his head to the voice calling him. And his body stiffened. ¡°You were here.¡± Selina in a white dress was smiling at him. *** There were five children around her. Each of them had a sword tied to their waist decorated with the same theme as their clothes. The way they looked at him while talking to Selina was full of hostility. From their point of view, Raymond would be like an uninvited guest who suddenly intervened in their group. ¡®I¡¯m sorry. I have an urgent matter to talk to her too.¡¯ No matter how they looked at him, he just continued talking to Selina. What¡¯s important to him right now was to develop a simple relationship with Selina. ¡°How have you been? At that time, I was worried that I shouldn¡¯t have intervened.¡± ¡°No, thanks to you, I was able to find a problem. Rather, I should be grateful. I was able to make a breakthrough thanks to you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m glad I helped you.¡± A good start has been established. She showed a simple smile. Feeling a little relieved, he remembered something he wanted to talk to her about. ¡°Ha ha. Don¡¯t just have fun talking to each other. Can¡¯t we join?¡± A man, who was watching their, conversation intervened. Taking a step forward, he cleverly stood between him and Selina. ¡°I¡¯m Kaham Luhaman.¡± To be honest, he was slightly surprised at him. Kaham Luhaman. After Warlug Family, the next family famous for swordsmanship was Luhaman. Kaham Luhaman was the eldest son of Count Luhaman. He was also a talented person. He is sociable and possess a wide network. He doesn¡¯t look bad. ¡®He wasn¡¯t describe in detail in the novel.¡¯ He appear for a while in the beginning, but he was among the extra he didn¡¯t bother to take note of ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°I know. You are Young master Raymond.¡± He had cut him off. Aside from already knowing him, why did he cut him off at the middle of talking? Is he of the same kind as those apprenticeship wizards? ¡®Let¡¯s not make hasty judgments.¡¯ To judge him in one word, there was little information about him. There was no need to pretend from now on. ¡°But. Young lady Selina.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°I never thought Young lady Selina would be close to young master Raymond.¡± The way he looked at Raymond was strange. His mouth was smiling, but his eyes were not. Unlike the way he looks at Selina, his way of looking at him is full of contempt. ¡°What does that mean?¡± ¡°That¡¯s¡­ As you know, Young Man Raymond is¡­ There are bad rumors, right?¡± ¡®Oh, I see.¡¯ ¡®I forgot for a while because I was only at the training ground these days.¡¯ ¡°He is incompetent and like to cause harm to others¡­ I heard he is only at 1st circle.¡± Yeah, he was definitely looking down at him. His eyes were like he¡¯s looking at a bug. He was worse than those apprenticeship wizards he beat up. ¡°What¡¯s that¡­? Apologize. Why are you rude to Raymond?¡± Selina¡¯s face hardened. His voice, when he said he was an incompetent Jerk was not low. Anyone around had hear it. ¡°Oh? It¡¯s true. Raymond is¡­¡± ¡°We haven¡¯t seen him coming for the past 4 years. Why did he come out with this time?¡± ¡°What is he going to do this time?¡± The nobles started talking to each other. ¡°Kaham Luhaman!¡± Selina stared intently at Kaham. What he did was to insult Raymond in front of everyone. If it was Raymond, the original, not me, Sunghyuk, he would have been greatly intimidated by the surrounding gaze. In severe cases, he could have run away from this place. ¡°This is fun.¡± Raymond looked at him face to face. Kaham was smiling as if this situation was amusing. Maybe the others could intimidate, Raymond the son of Count Millennium, however, he is not here anymore. Just like old times ¡°Incompetent Jerk¡­¡± Raymond uttered quietly. He thought thought he muttered it where only he could hear it, but Selina looked back as if she heard it. Her eyes contained complex feelings. He looked away from her and looked at Kaham. ¡°You¡¯re not wrong.¡± He laughed. Raymond showed a smiled. Kaham stopped laughing at his unexpected appearance. ¡°But there¡¯s one thing that Young master Kaham said wrong.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± While talking, he thought of a person who fits the current situation. [¡°The Unknown God¡± shines at a new incident.] Another sentence appeared to his mind. Ignoring it, his smile was also erased. ¡°I¡¯m a fool, but I¡¯m not incompetent.¡± Bain Warlug. The person who could pressure them, the most suitable for this situation. That¡¯s how his ¡®acting¡¯ began. ¡°But I wonder what made you say that.¡± Charisma, which he didn¡¯t initially have, started oozing out from his body. ¡°You must know that I¡¯m the only son of the Millennium family.¡± His charisma that slowly stretched around. Kaham and Selina, who were in front of him, started flinching and tremblinh. ¡°To say that I¡¯m an incompetent jerk¡­¡± He raised his hand and rubbed his chin. The energy in his body spread in all directions as if he could no longer contain it. Selina looked at him with disbelief at the charasma that filled the surroundings. Raymond could understand her gaze. What he see now, was very familiar to her. ¡°Bain Warlug.¡± The best swordsman in the Kingdom, Bain Warlug. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you brought that up.¡± Raymond don¡¯t know what Kaham meant, however, there is one thing that¡¯s clear, he showed hostility to him. That alone insulted Raymond. ¡°Can you take responsibility for that?¡± Raymond smirked. Kaham Luhaman¡¯s face turned pale. Chapter 13 TL: This will be the last free daily updates of the year. See you again next year on Jan. 3! Well, if you are also reading Apocalypse¡¯s Billionaire there would be daily updates starting on Dec. 20 for this holidays. The chapters for that novel will be automatically posted. There is no specific time because it depends on what time I submitted them. *** A predator. That¡¯s how Raymond appears to Kaham Luhaman right now. He once went hunting and encountered a bear before. At that time, the bear was a hungry one and he almost died. If the knight didn¡¯t arrive in time, he would have already become the bear¡¯s food. His memory from that time still lingers. A kind of imprint which settled like trauma, and now he is facing it again. ¡°Why?¡± A pressure like from the bear that he saw back then. Why is he feeling it from Raymond? His hands hidden behind him trembled and no matter what he distractions he could think of, the fear was still there. He wanted to ran away. He wanted to stay far from Raymond, however, it seems like his feet are nailed on floor. No matter how much he wanted to move his feet, he couldn¡¯t budge an inch. ¡°Is he the same Raymond, right?¡± He didn¡¯t seem to be the Raymond he knew. Raymond he knew was never like this. ¡®This can¡¯t be happening.¡¯ Kaham Luhaman never missed a banquet, so ever since he was a child he had always been meeting with Raymond. Therefore, it can be said that he knows Raymond to some extent. In his mind, Raymond was so timid that he couldn¡¯t express his own opinion. The pressure of being the son of a Master Wizard and inability to handle magic properly had always weigh on his shoulder. In order to ran away from that, he started to do bad things. And now he¡¯s showing that kind of pressure? ¡®I¡¯m sure he is a wizard.¡¯ It didn¡¯t make sense unless he used magic. Raymond. There is no way that he can show that without abandoning his reasons. ¡®You can¡¯t be swayed. If you¡¯re swayed, you lose.¡¯ Kaham said to himself. The gap between the before and after of Raymond was so great that Kaham could not face the reality. He wanted to deny what he just felt. This can¡¯t be. ¡®I have to take responsibility? No. I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. I just told the truth.¡¯ Why don¡¯t he propose a duel? ¡°Then why don¡¯t you have a fight with me?¡± He swallowed his dry saliva and looked at Raymond. What if he refuse? No. Raymond will not refuse. If Raymond accepts the duel, he will deal with Raymond properly. Through the duel, he can proven to everyone that Raymond is incompetent. That way, he can prove that his words were not wrong. ¡®I can fool others¡¯ eyes, but it can¡¯t fool my eyes.¡¯ Swordsman vs. wizard. Magic is close to omnipotence. However, no matter how much magical knowledge a person knows, if talent is not up to standard, it will be useless. Even if Raymond used magic, it didn¡¯t matter. Raymond is weak. Since he only achieved 1st circle by the age of 17, he will not lose to Raymond. ¡®There¡¯s no way Raymond will reject this duel.¡¯ Raymond cares a lot about his image in public. Otherwise, he couldn¡¯t have reacted to his provocation. So he was sure that Raymond will accept the Duel he asked for. ¡®While this is going on, I can also relieve the stress that I accumulated.¡¯ That arrogant attitude. He will crush that attitude of Raymond in front of people. Kaham has already imagine his victory, while Raymond is begging on his knees. While waiting for Raymond¡¯s answer, he imagined how he will humiliate Raymond. Thinking about it makes him smile. Kaham, who regained his confidence, stared at Raymond and said. ¡°What will you do?¡± *** ¡°Hmm.¡± Raymond didn¡¯t accept immediately the sudden duel. What can be gained through the Duel in this current situation? He looked around. Nobles were looking at them with expectations. ¡°A duel, right?¡± ¡°Oh. Kaham asked Raymond for a fight.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the winner already determined? Kaham is a talented swordsman. But Raymond is still at 1st circle wizard.¡± They were whispering among themselves and already predicting who will win or lose. Most of them were betting on Kaham¡¯s victory. Even though they saw Raymond exuding a pressure similar to Count Warlug¡¯s, they are not confident with his capability. ¡®Are they actually blind?¡¯ The more he listened to them, the more he could see how Raymond is being looked down upon by everyone. Thanks to their words, Raymond has suffered so much. If they had said this right in front of him, he would have hit them immediately. ¡°But a duel is not a bad thing.¡± A duel does not bring him any disadvantages at all. He knows that he is stronger than the youngest knight of his family, he don¡¯t know how strong are the others but he was sure that he will not lose to anyone of his age. ¡®Hmm, a duel right in front of a gathering of noble families.¡¯ A banquet hosted by a prestigious family of Wizard is special. Therefore, many nobles participated. Among them, there were people who will became famous in the future. ¡®There¡¯s nothing bad about showing them a good performance in advance.¡¯ They are people he would meet, at least once, in the future. It was like a kind of opportunity to inform them of his existence in the Kingdom. ¡°I accept it.¡± One duel would be fine. It was just a duel, but Kaham¡¯s face, who was carefully looking at me, brightened. Why is he so happy that I accepted the duel? ¡°Is he a pervert?¡± He could be someone who likes to be hit. Someone who likes to be beaten up when they¡¯re fighting. Anyway, it doesn¡¯t have to do with him. It¡¯s already been a while since he held a wooden sword. *** All the nobles in the banquet hall gathered at the Fighting ring. There is only one reason why they gathered. Raymond Millennium and Kaham Luhaman will be fighting! It was a big match. Raymond, the son of Count Millennium, was only a 1st circle wizard. Kaham, from the second best Swordsmanship family after Warlug, is a genius swordsman. Upon hearing the confrontation between the two, the nobles had already predicted who would win. Kaham Luhaman will definitely win. Nevertheless, the reason why people gathered is to spectacle. Think about it. Where else would they be able to see a Count¡¯s son being beaten up? This was a rare sight, so it was natural for spectators to gather around. ¡®But it¡¯s annoying that no one thinks I will win.¡¯ Who else would like to be openly looked down upon? Definitely no one. As they climb up the fighting ring, Selina approached Raymond and told. ¡°Please be careful!¡± Raymond can interpret it in two ways. The first is to be careful on not to get hurt. The second is to moderately knock down the opponent. Raymond was leaning more on the second choice. Even if she didn¡¯t say that, he will definitely moderately knock down the opponent. ¡°Hahaha. I¡¯ll deal with you in moderation, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much about him young lady Selina.¡± Kaham secretly approached Selina and when he heard what he said to Raymond, he intervened. Selina quietly bowed her head at him and left in order to get to her seat. ¡°She is still very shy.¡± I don¡¯t think so. ¡°Come on up.¡± Kaham, who had already climbed up to the Fighting ring before Raymond, look down at him and said. Let¡¯s break his wrist first, just enough to prevent him holding a sword for a couple of months. ¡°They are really dueling.¡± ¡°But the results is too obvious¡±. ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s still fun to watch.¡± People¡¯s voices are heard every where. They don¡¯t even think about whispering, they spoke openly without minding their volume. I¡¯m looking forward to their faces later. Standing at the Fighting ring, Raymond just ignored them, a knight approached. ¡°Please leave your sword to me.¡± Raymond didn¡¯t say much and handed him the sword from the commander Real sword cannot be used at the Fighting ring. But Raymond wanted to use a real sword. However, there is nothing he can do. Setting aside his thoughts about the sword, he grabbed the wooden sword given by the knight. ¡°It¡¯s heavier than before.¡± This isn¡¯t that bad. He clenched his wooden sword and looked at Kaham. Kaham was swinging his wooden sword and checking his physical condition. Then he nodded and smiled. Was he that confident? ¡°Are you ready?¡± Kaham looked at him with a relaxed face. He was so relax that it didn¡¯t seem like he was scared earlier. It was normal to be scared when facing the same pressure from Count Warlug. Now that the pressure from his acting has disappeared, he must have regained his confidence on his swordsmanship. ¡°But will it be okay? You are still a 1st circle wizard. I think it¡¯s going you are in a disadvantageous position against me. If you¡¯re scared, you can quit even now. Don¡¯t be humiliated for nothing.¡± Did he want him to lose face by emphasizing the words, 1st circle wizard? ¡°It may seem arrogant for saying this, but Luhaman¡¯s swordsmanship may be too much for you.¡± Kaham swung his sword for a few times. ¡°I¡¯ll show you.¡± [¡°The Unnamed God¡± watches you with sparkling eyes.] Lahaman¡¯s swordsmanship. Raymond is not that interested with their swordsmanship. In the first place, he couldn¡¯t even hear his voice. ¡°Whoo¡­¡± A strange excitement wrapped around his body, as he begin ¡®acting¡¯ as the main character. The heat he was feeling on his head subsided and his heartbeat slowed down. ¡°¡­.¡± The voices of the spectators surrounding the fighting ring became quiet. If it was too noisy, he wouldn¡¯t be able to concentrate. Raymond looked forward. It could be said that the stance of Kaham is pretty good. It could be used for either defense or offense. Just by looking at his posture, he can already see how much he has trained. That¡¯s good. Few people in his age barely train themselves to this level of understanding. ¡°But still¡­¡± He was worse than Selina. Without realizing it, Raymond had unconsciously compared him to Selina. Of course, Selina is better. Raymond put all his strength on holding the grip of the sword. Pat! He kicked the ground. With the push from his feet, he strode forward to Kaham. He swung his sword. ¡°Huh¡­¡± His first strike was a failure, but the eyes of Kaham, who blocked his sword, were wide open. Raymond back away. He turned the handle of the sword and aimed to his side. Pam! Kaham had managed to block the attack again. Raymond back away because of the rebound. Taking this opportunity, Kaham made his first move. Raymond pulled himself back and blocked his sword casually. ¡°This can¡¯t be!¡±¡¯ Clenching his teeth, Kaham swung the wooden sword. Pam! Pam! For the consecutive strikes, Raymond had manage to block them all. Avoiding the wooden sword, Raymond had strike Kaham¡¯s side successfully. His wooden sword hits his abdomen. Kaham groaned and faltered. Raymond reached out and grabbed him. Kaham stared at him even though he is in pain. He still hasn¡¯t grasped the situation properly. Kaham tried to shook off his hand on his collar by swinging the wooden sword, however, Raymond was faster and he had already hit him. ¡°Ugh!¡± Kaham groaned and swings the wooden sword toward the air. Hit! Kaham hit Raymond¡¯s hand on the side of the wooden sword. The wooden sword fell to the ground. ¡°Ugh.¡± Kaham faltered and step back. Raymond hit was quite strong so his whole body was aching. When Raymond grabbed the wooden sword, he took a step forward and swung it. With the last strike, Kaham¡¯s body collapsed. Wiping off the sweat flowing down to his chin with his sleeves. He looked around. Chapter 14 Everyone couldn¡¯t take their eyes off from the fighting ring. Was this still a reality? Or perhaps a dream? Some of them even raised their hands and rubbed their eyes. They couldn¡¯t believe the scene in front of them. Raymond Millennium beat Kaham Luhaman. It was Raymond¡¯s victory. Something that no one expected had happened. Is that all? Raymond shouldn¡¯t have won. Who is Kaham Luhaman? From the young age of five, he was already a prodigy. There were even rumors that if he went against a knight, he would have won. Although, Selina is more talented and better than Kaham now, nevertheless, Kaham Luhaman¡¯s swordsmanship should be great than Raymond¡¯s. Even Count Warlug approved his swordsmanship. When he nodded was when Kaham performed his favorite sword technique. That means that Kaham Luhaman handled swords so well that Count Warlug has given his approval. Kaham shouldn¡¯t have lost to someone that is only at 1st Circle. No matter how much magic he will cast, Kaham would not be beaten. If he lost, it could have been attributed to luck. For example, Kaham has slipped or he unluckily let go of his sword. The opponent could have won miraculously. If that was the case, they wouldn¡¯t have been this surprised. However, Raymond Millennium won by overwhelming Kaham. Kaham Luhaman had never even made a proper counterattack. Yeah, let¡¯s that they are equal in terms of strength. If only Raymond has used magic, they could have understood that Kaham Luhaman lost. But¡­ Kaham Luhaman was defeated by Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship. That was the problem. Raymond Millennium faced him with a sword, not with Magic. He beat Kaham Luhaman with swordsmanship. And he won overpowering the opponent. ¡°Is this possible?¡± ¡°Was Kaham Luhaman this weak? That¡¯s not it. Kaham Luhaman is strong. That means¡­.¡± Eyes were shifted their gazes from Kaham, who was lying down, to Raymond. The person who created this impossible situation. A monster who beat Kaham Luhaman, a pure swordsmanship prodigy. ¡°Did Raymond ever learn swordsmanship?¡± ¡°No, he only learned magic, and he is a 1st Circle Wizard¡­¡± ¡°Then did he use magic?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no sign of using magic. He only used the sword.¡± Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship had beat Kaham even without using magic. Looking at Raymond Millennium, people couldn¡¯t hide their disbelief. His swordsmanship was not beautiful. It wasn¡¯t even cool. A practical sword technique. It aimed at the opponent¡¯s weaknesses rather than showing fancy techniques. That¡¯s why it was more shocking. Aiming exactly at the opponent¡¯s weakness and disrupting his balance. Wasn¡¯t it like an adult playing against a child? ¡°Considering he was so confident¡­ I¡¯m disappointed.¡± Raymond mouthed to himself. His volume was so low that only Kaham in front could hear it. Still, Raymond was expecting that he would fight back like the Youngest Knight and amuse him. But that was only his illusion. Why Kaham didn¡¯t even do a proper counterattack? Why was he confident with just these skills? ¡°Ugh¡­¡± Raymond stared at Kaham. Kaham was also staring at him with shock. His face, which looked like bees have stung him, was swollen due to Raymond¡¯s beating. Raymond was annoyed by his continued provocation that he beat him a few more times. He lowered the wooden sword and ¡®tsk¡¯ his tongue briefly. He knew it when confronting the youngest knight, but his body was really too weak. His palm was already bursting in pain after swinging the sword just a few times. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± While looking around, Raymond made eye contact with Selina. Her eyes, which met his eyes, sparkled. To the extent where it looks like she was seeing a star. To be honest, looking at her eyes¡­ ¡°I feel pressured.¡± Her eyes were so burdensome that Raymond turned his head away without realizing it. *** When Raymond accepted Kaham¡¯s duel, Selina had already expected that this would be the result. The day Raymond came to deliver the invitation, the sword technique he showed at the time again was really strong. The swordsmanship he performed was a big shock to her. ¡®I can¡¯t even see a way to win.¡¯ Since that day, she has done image training hundreds of times. And as a result, she found herself losing every time. No matter what attack or defense she could think of, she felt like the attack wouldn¡¯t work at him. Her pride as a Swordsmanship genius was seriously hurt. She couldn¡¯t believe that she wouldn¡¯t even win, despite the fact that it was her own image training. She never thought she would feel this way at some point in her life. ¡°Kaham lose.¡± At Raymond and Kaham¡¯s duel, Selina already predicted how the duel between the two would end. Raymond¡¯s victory. This was the result Selina expected. She couldn¡¯t imagine Raymond losing if he used the sword technique he showed back then. Whoosh. When Raymond¡¯s sword touched Kaham¡¯s neck, Selina realized that she had been holding her breath until then. She only focused on Raymond from the beginning until the end. And as she expected, it was Raymond¡¯s victory. ¡°What kind of swordsmanship is that?¡± After the confrontation, she couldn¡¯t say anything. His killing intent was nothing compared to the pressure he exuded before the duel. Winning against Kaham by a luck? That was absurd! More than that, she was shocked by the sword technique used by Raymond. Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship contained all the Intent she had been wanting to find. Just looking at his swordsmanship, it was clear that his technique far surpassed their family¡¯s. But there was a problem. ¡®It only focused on killing.¡¯ Every move he performed contained Killing intent. Others may have only seen Kaham¡¯s overwhelming defeat, but she could see through each of his moves. ¡®I haven¡¯t felt such intense killing intent from my father either.¡¯ Count Warlug had participated in wars several times, he had killed countless enemies. But whenever she saw his father practicing his swordsmanship, his killing intent wasn¡¯t as intense as Raymond¡¯s. It was like Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship existed only to kill. ¡°How can he use such swordsmanship?¡± Fear and oppression. Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship made her feel both at once. This new sword technique, which she had never encountered before, greatly stimulated her curiosity. ¡°If I were him, would I be able to learn it?¡± This was impossible. Even if she was a genius, she wouldn¡¯t be able to exude such killing intent. As such, Raymond¡¯s sword technique was very difficult to execute. ¡°If It was a father, would he be able to get it?¡± She listed all the famous swordsmen she knew but, none of them would be able to stand against Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship. At least there was no one she knew who could beat him with just pure technique. How can this happen? ¡®He said it hasn¡¯t been long since he started learning swordsmanship.¡¯ But what was that? It was the same back when he came to deliver the invitation, however, this wasn¡¯t something a beginner would be able to learn just after some months of practicing. Seeing him wielding the sword with his sword technique, it was as if he had already killed several people, or perhaps hundreds or even thousands of times. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Who in the world did he learn that swordsmanship from? Even though it was right to think that Raymond had learned swordsmanship from a master, strangely, she didn¡¯t think he had learned it from someone. ¡®I have never seen such swordsmanship.¡¯ Being the daughter of the greatest swordsman in the kingdom, she had met several great swordsmen. When she met them, she also saw their swordsmanship. But she had never seen a Sword technique like that. No, she never thought that there would be something existing like that. A Sword technique existed only for killing. ¡°Did he make it himself?¡± But that didn¡¯t make sense either. No matter how genius a person is, they can¡¯t make things they don¡¯t know. In other words, many sacrifices are needed to create a sword technique that exudes killing intent on each move. ¡°What kind of person he is actually?¡± She was curious about him, and about his swordsmanship. Who in the world used such a sword technique? Her heart started beating faster as she thought of Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship. *** Raymond didn¡¯t want to look at Selina. He felt like there was a laser coming out of her eyes from the way she looked at him. He thought of what strange behavior he had done to get much of her attention but, he just acted as usual. ¡®There wasn¡¯t any different from when I dealt with the youngest knight.¡¯ Rather, I dealt with it more relaxed than then. Kaham was weaker than he thought, so he didn¡¯t have to exert much effort. Then what is it? ¡°Hmm¡­¡± There is only one thing he could think of. Did she really like his swordsmanship? When he recalled Selina¡¯s description in the novel, aside from her beautiful appearance, she was obsessed with swordsmanship. Every time she saw new swordsmanship, her curiosity would spark up. ¡°Not bad.¡± There is a good result from the duel, at least he got Selina¡¯s attention. Being able to get her attention was a plus factor in itself. ¡°Won¡¯t you announce the winner?¡± Raymond turned his head and said to the Knight staring blankly at this side. The knight looked at Raymond with eyes as if he were looking at a monster. As he slightly nodded, the knight went up the fighting ring with a puzzled face. ¡°The winner is Young Master Raymond.¡± Even though the knight had already announced the victor, the nobles haven¡¯t yet escaped from the shock. At that time, someone clapped. Sneaking a glance, Raymond saw that it was Selina. Clap clap clap clap. People who came to their senses at the sound of her applause also started applauding. I¡¯m feeling shy. It felt strange to receive attention from many people. He returned the wooden sword to the knight and bowed his upper body to them. This much should have changed their perception about him a little bit. Although it was difficult to completely change the perception that he is an incompetent jerk, what happened today will remain in their memories. The incompetent jerk is no longer incompetent. ¡°This much is fan service.¡± His reason for staying in the Fighting ring has disappeared. He already showed everything he wanted to show here. ¡°Raymond.¡± ¡°Oh, did you see that?¡± Count Millennium look at Raymond while he was going down from the fighting ring. The count¡¯s face was complicated. ¡°Are you trying to question this?¡± Well, he did cause some fuss. If he had been humiliated in a place where countless nobles gathered, that would have remained a disgrace to the name of the Millennium family. ¡®But it worked out well.¡¯ There will be fewer people who will look down on him this time, and Count Millennium will be paying more attention to him. Whether it¡¯s in a good or bad. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± It was a matter that he shouldn¡¯t be bothered about. There was no need for him to care. ¡°You¡­¡± Still, Count Millennium¡¯s thoughts must have changed a little. He alternately looked at Raymond¡¯s hands, where the flesh burst and blood flowed, and at his face. His eyes were slightly shaking. ¡°Is the sword technique that I used bothering you?¡± That¡¯s understandable. His son, who had never trained properly, suddenly was a genius in swordsmanship. What parents wouldn¡¯t be surprised? ¡°We can solve this later¡­But what¡¯s wrong with him?¡± He looked to Count Warlug next to Count Millennium. ¡°What do you want from me, Count?¡± At Raymond¡¯s question, Count Warlug grabbed his shoulders and asked back. ¡°What do you think of Selina?¡± Excuse me? [¡°The Unknown God¡± frowned at what he said] What¡¯s wrong with him? *** TL: Even the Unknown God Doesn¡¯t like any sub-romantic plot developing lol. Chapter 15 It was not easy for Kaham to admit his defeat. He place great pride in his swordsmanship. He has grown up hearing that he is the eldest son prodigy of the Luhaman family. ¡®Kaham Luhaman won against a knight.¡¯ When he beat a knight only with sword techniques, his confidence and pride grew out of control. Within his peers, he thought that even Selina may not be able to beat him. When others flattered him, he thought it was natural. However, an uninvited guest came between his conversation with Selina. This was the first time he face a person that ignored him. The uninvited guest even insulted him in front of everyone. He dared to insult, Kaham Luhaman? He must have been tired of living! He was angry and annoyed. He didn¡¯t want to see this person, who couldn¡¯t even advance above 1st class, getting ahead of himself. So he suggested a Duel. And Raymond accepted the Duel. Everything went according to his plans, he even imagined how to humiliate Raymond in front of everyone. He didn¡¯t think he¡¯d lose to Raymond, in the first place, he already won against a knight with swordsmanship alone. But he will never have thought that Raymond has also won against a knight, and overwhelming at that. He prepared himself, he tried to strike, yet, why did it become like this? His whole body aches. His thighs, shoulders, and face were burning with pain. But what Kaham can¡¯t stand the most was¡­ Raymond¡¯s gaze looking down at him. Those indifferent eyes, as if he already expected such results. Silence surrounded them. The gaze of the people filled with surprise slowly returned to themselves and praised the winner. Clap, clap, clap, clap. Even Selina¡¯s applauded. All that going towards Raymond right now, should have him instead. It had to be himself, not him, not others, only him. This can¡¯t be happening. ¡®I¡¯m sure he had done something.¡¯ This shouldn¡¯t have happen if he didn¡¯t cheat. A wizards must have given him a buff magic so he could overpower him. ¡°Scaredy-cat.¡± How can you let others help you in a fair game? ¡°How dare you.¡± As he was staring at Raymond, he saw Count Warlug approaching. Did he come here to announce the real winner? ¡®Yeah, who is Raymond? I am confident that I would become great with my sword techniques in the future.¡¯ However, Count Warlug did now head towards him, but Raymond. ¡°What do you think of Selina?¡± There was a spark in his eyes. ¡®Why, why are you saying that to that guy?¡¯ What suits Selina is him! He¡¯s never like that. ¡°Without him, without him.¡± If it weren¡¯t for Raymond, he¡¯d be the one in the eyes of Count Warlug. ¡®I will never forget this.¡¯ Kaham didn¡¯t like the guy who took what it was meant for him. ¡®I¡¯ll take my revenge. It will make you regret everything you¡¯ve done.¡¯ ¡°Young master, are you okay?¡± As Kaham was busy with his own thoughts, his servant hurriedly approached and helped him. His legs kept trembling, so he stood leaning against him. ¡°Go to our Lahaman¡¯s Estate right now and get the stuff on the bookshelf.¡± ¡°Young master, that¡¯s¡­¡± The face of his servant stiffened. He looked as if he had heard something he shouldn¡¯t have heard. ¡°Don¡¯t say anything, go get it right away.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The practitioner, who hesitated, nodded. ¡®We can¡¯t move on like this.¡¯ He stared at Raymond. ¡®You have to pay back for this.¡¯ *** On the last day of the banquet, the biggest event will be held. They will divided into a teams and only the noble¡¯s children will participate and hunt. It may be divided into teams but there was still a competition between swordsmen and wizards. The winning prize wasn¡¯t very good, but this was a perfect event for Young Masters who wanted to show off. In addition, it was an opportunity for the children from each prestigious family to get closer. Most of the children must have waited for this day, and it was clear that they already created their own team. ¡°The most ideal for me is to team up with Beatrice.¡± Raymond from the Millennium and Beatrice from the Skylar family. It could be said to be the best combination. But¡­ ¡®There¡¯s no way to get close.¡¯ Trauma is something like that. His brother sacrificed himself to protect Raymond, so it is not easy for him to reach out to her. Furthermore, it has been rumored that the person who he protected was not a good boy, but an incompetent jerk. ¡®Of course she¡¯ll hate me.¡¯ Without me, her brother wouldn¡¯t have been hurt. ¡®I think it¡¯ll work out somehow if it is Selina.¡¯ He had a conversation with her at the banquet, and they¡¯re situation was not bad either. Also, the probability of attracting her to his side increased a little. ¡®Hunting events does not allow swordsmen and wizards to be together.¡¯ That was the main problem. Selina was a swordsman, so it was hard for him to team up with her. If he break such rule and try to team up with her, other children would be wary if him. Honestly, it didn¡¯t matter. But If didn¡¯t have to step up and work it out¡­ ¡®Will be there anyone who want to be in same team as me?¡¯ Other children are reluctant to go with him. It¡¯s much better to go around alone than to be interfered by others for no reason and argue. ¡®But the place we¡¯re going to is the habitat of Orcs.¡¯ The home place of the orcs. Although knights went around the day before and killed the Orcs. Still, one or two orcs could still appear. ¡®Can I handle an Orc alone?¡¯ Even if he won against a knight with swordsmanship, it was still impossible for him to face an Orc The difference between the knight and him was in Mana. Using and not using mana. He can¡¯t use mana with his swordsmanship. He had never done it. There is a clear difference between how a wizard and a knight used Mana. ¡®I¡¯ve never even learned swordsmanship properly.¡¯ What he did was simply ¡®acting¡¯. He didn¡¯t think it would be possible to do that essential thing. ¡°Then what should I do?¡± If there¡¯s no one who wanted to team up with him, he may have to remain alone. ¡°I can¡¯t be accompanied by a family knight.¡± He wanted to hunt on his own power. Therefore, there is no point on asking a family knight to accompanying him. Furthermore, he didn¡¯t think they would listen to him. He treated them so bad, so no one would want to help him. Well, unless they are perverts who like to be beaten up. ¡°First, bring a sword.¡± He looked at the sword from the commander again. This time, he would be able to handle a ¡®real¡¯ sword. ¡°I hope to do well.¡± Wielding a wooden sword and wielding a real sword. Fighting to spar and fighting to save his life were completely different things. No matter how much he acted, will it be possible for him to kill? ¡°U have to do it even if it doesn¡¯t work.¡± Make the impossible become possible. There was a reason that this quotation existed. He mustn¡¯t show his weakness from the start. ¡°I have to prepare properly.¡±¡¯ The hunting ground was a dangerous space where one wouldn¡¯t know when and what danger would come out So he had to prepare as much as possible. He went to the Knights and got leather armor. He armed himself enough to cover only important parts that does not interfere with his movement at all. As he tied his shoelaces, he suddenly remembered something from yesterday. ¡®What did that mean?¡¯ The words of Count Warlug still lingered in his head. ¡°What do you think of Selina?¡± What did he mean by asking that? Did he like him for her daughter? Was his meaning to be more than friends with Selina? ¡°That can¡¯t be true.¡± It didn¡¯t make sense even when he think about it. Selina was a natural swordsmanship genius. On the other hand, he was a fool whose rumors were not good. The count was trying to connect him to Selina? If others heard it, they would only laugh. ¡®Maybe it¡¯s because he is curious about the changed in my temperament.¡¯ The original Raymond and him were completely different. In addition, the relationship between Millennium and Count Warlug could be said close, so they would have met often. Then, he would have seen how Raymond acted previously. ¡®Was he doubting that I became someone else?¡¯ Even Raymond would be suspicious is someone he knew would suddenly change. Well, it¡¯s not a bad thing though. ¡°Was it just a joke?¡± It would be good if what the count said was only heard by me, but there others too. The impact of his words wasn¡¯t small either. ¡°Why did he say that?¡± Thanks to that, be had to return home without having a proper conversation with Selina. ¡°Is there any other way?¡± Is there other ways he could hang out with Selina? If he doesn¡¯t get closer with her, it may become more difficult to rope her in his side. ¡°I really hope it¡¯ll work out somehow.¡± After hunting, there will be a big problem on teams. Raymond and her would be in different teams, so they would fight each other. ¡°It¡¯s hard.¡± He tied a sword to his waist and put a robe over it. Wearing the robe with the patterns of the Millennium family, it symbolizes that he was a Wizard himself. Knock, knock, knock. ¡°Young master, I¡¯m here to pick you up.¡± He heard the voice of a man, for the first time, it was not Alice who came to starve him. ¡®Alice did say she had a lot of work to do.¡¯ On banquet day, the maids becomes busier than usual. Although Alice was his maid in charge, she still needed to help the other maid. ¡®You don¡¯t have to make her work hard for my convenience.¡¯ Just because she¡¯s not here, doesn¡¯t mean he cannot do anything. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The servant looked at him and took the lead. Unlike in the past, when the servant looked at him with contempt, now they looked at him as if they were looking at a mysterious animal. ¡°This is a better treatment than the beginning.¡± It was a better response than before. The entrance to the hunting ground was noisy. The children were busy bragging about themselves surrounding to others. And among them, there were many children gathered next to Selina and Beatrice. ¡°Beatrice?¡± Why is she here? Shouldn¡¯t she have been busy at the Magic Tower? What happened? ¡°Was there such a content in the original work?¡± Beatrice has not attended the banquet since ¡°That Day.¡± Because the ¡°banquet¡± itself became a trauma to her. But the fact that she appeared at the banquet means that there was a reason. ¡°No way¡­¡± Just once Beatrice appeared at the banquet after that day, to be exact, only on the hunting day. ¡®The Master of the Tower she belongs to must have told her to go out to overcome her trauma.¡¯ Almost semi-forced, she went hunting. In the original work, he didn¡¯t know the exact day because it was only describe briefly. Was that today? Having made eye contact with him, she turned her head away. He knew that she hated him. But still he walked away with a bitter smile. ¡­. When he arrived at the meeting place, it became quiet everywhere. The Initially noisy surrounding it become quiet within an instant. ¡®Yesterday result must have shocked them.¡¯ People¡¯s reactions have been like that since Kaham was defeated by him. ¡°It¡¯s not bad.¡± Rather than cursing at him and mocking him, avoiding him was better. It suited him. ¡°Did you sleep well? I¡¯m worried if you couldn¡¯t sleep well because it¡¯s a strange place.¡± Passing by them, he smiled and talked to Selina. ¡°Oh, Raymond.¡± She looked back at him with a tired face. Unlike the banquet hall, she was dressed like a female knight. Wearing iron armor that covers her important parts, she was like a painting in itself. ¡®I didn¡¯t expect a woman in armor would look cool.¡¯ As before, she was unrealistically beautiful. ¡°Thanks to your consideration, I had a comfortable night.¡± Saying that, she looked behind his back. And seeing that no one was left, he slightly frowned. ¡°By the way, where¡¯s your teammate?¡± Who can be on his team? Someone called him when he shook his head and tried to say no. ¡°Young Master Raymond.¡± Looking back, he frowned without realizing it. ¡°Will you team up with me?¡± Because Kaham Luhaman stood there. Chapter 16 Raymond doubted his ears for a moment. Was it another person who said that? But, only Kaham Luhaman remained standing in front of him. He was wearing leather gloves and light armor that focuses more on movement He even possess that beaten face. Obviously, teaming up with Kaham Luhaman was good. Still, why is he talking to me? Raymond was flustered. It was amazing that he talked to him even though he was hit like that yesterday. If I were him, I wouldn¡¯t dare to come out for the hunting itself. Who would approach the person who humiliated him in a friendly way? All Raymond could think of, that were some kind of scheme. Or maybe he was a masochist. ¡°Me?¡± I really hope that I heard it wrong. No matter how thick skin Raymond was, the skin on his face was not thick enough to go with a person he had beaten. ¡°Don¡¯t you want it?¡± It was natural that I didn¡¯t like it. Raymond couldn¡¯t figure out what he was thinking, he even thought of open Kaham¡¯s head. I hope he is just joke and he is not sincere. If he were serious, it would be difficult to turn him down. Raymond was sure that his intentions were far from being sincere. ¡®Your eyes are full of killing intent.¡¯ His mouth was smiling, but his eyes weren¡¯t. Kaham¡¯s eyes seemed to say, ¡°I¡¯m going to make trouble for you.¡± He shouldn¡¯t be close to someone with that kind of eye. But it may be more dangerous to keep ignoring it. If he leave it like that for no reason, things would get bigger and more difficult. In a different sense, he was like a poison. Dangerous to keep close and dangerous to keep away. Raymond was worried that Kaham would stab him in the back as soon as they were alone. It was clear that, because of yesterday¡¯s confrontation, he was very resentful of him. ¡°But will it be okay? You are a swordsman and I am a mage.¡± ¡°That¡¯s okay. You can still be considered swordsman because of yesterday¡¯s.¡± ¡°If you say so¡­ Let¡¯s go together.¡± I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re up to, but you won¡¯t achieve what you want to do. Whatever you do, I¡¯ll block it thoroughly. *** ¡°It¡¯s dangerous, so please don¡¯t go too deep.¡± Before entering the hunting ground, a knight has warned them. Only after receiving a definite answer a couple of times did the knights let them in. Because there was a large number of children from prestigious aristocrats, the knights warned them more than as usual. ¡°Shall we go in now?¡± ¡°Right.¡± Kaham kept a smile, trying not to raise the corner of his mouth. His effort was remarkable to the point he could see it immediately. What method will he use? As they entered the forest, he thought of things that Kaham would do to him. Attack, trap, and provocation. Other than that, nothing else came to his mind. There wasn¡¯t much content about him in the original Novel. Maybe there¡¯s something inside those gloves. ¡°Why are you wearing gloves? I don¡¯t think you wore it yesterday.¡± ¡°Oh, this¡­¡± He avoided answering, scratching his cheek awkwardly. Raymond took a step while watching him. Crunching. As they walked in silence, the bushes shook. His footsteps slowed down and beckoned Kaham behind him to be quiet. He don¡¯t know what¡¯s in that bushes. It was possible to be an Orc.. There was nothing bad about being careful in advance. He put his hand on the handle of his sword and looked at the bushes. Raymond can feel the hot gaze from the back of his head. But it doesn¡¯t matter. From now on, he was going to ¡°act¡± as the main character. There was nothing better than the power of the main character in ¡°hunting.¡± He looked carefully. He saw long ears and white fur. That animal from the bushes is a rabbit¡­. No! It was an Orc that caught somebody. He knew that there was an Orcs, but he didn¡¯t know he¡¯d meet him this soon. Within the nearby area, it was normal for Knights to kill all the life threatening monsters, so there shouldn¡¯t be any Orcs But meeting an Orc right away¡­ Boom! Burnt! Kakaka!! Because of the noise by the Orc, the birds flew away. They should be suppressed by the knights, but now they are making ruckus as if they weren¡¯t afraid of it. But what can I do? Okay¡­ Raymond took a closer look at the Orc eating the rabbit¡¯s neck. He only knew about them by reading books. This was his first time seeing a real Orc this close. Muscular body and the face of a wild boar. It covers only important parts by weaving animal skins. If he had only seen his face lying down, he would have misunderstood him as a wild boar. It seemed that it had no weapon. It was holding a rabbit with both hands so Raymond couldn¡¯t see anything around it that could be used as a weapon. Originally, Orc goes in groups. In the original Novel, at least three or four of them would be together when hunting. But right now, there was only an Orc eating a rabbit. It looks like it was abandoned by the group. Sometimes there are Orcs like that. They don¡¯t fit in the group so they want to get in separate ways. Raymond was sure that Orc was that kind of monster. He waited a long time, but no other orcs appeared. He pulled out his sword. And then he looked back. Kaham was staring at him without saying a word. He seemed to be watching what he would do against the Orc. ¡°That¡¯s better.¡± If he step in to help for no reason, it would become difficult in its own way. It was better to move alone from the beginning. And fortunately, Kaham showed no signs of movement. The cool blade was pointed at the Orc. The Orc haven¡¯t noticed anything yet. [¡°The Unknown God¡± looks forward to your performance] Raymond jumped forward ignoring the message that came to his mind. Grrr? The Orc with blood and fur on its face looked back at him. The Orc¡¯s eyes stared at him blankly for a moment. After a while, the Orc screamed and swing its fist. Argh! Raymond bowed his head and poked the Orc¡¯s chest avoiding his fist. ¡°It is fast.¡± Raymond swung his sword against the Orc Swish! Blood poured out from the Orc¡¯s chest. The Orc, who saw his blood, breathed heavily and attacked him. Bam! After moving a step to avoid it, Raymond swung his sword again and the tendon of the Orc¡¯s wrist was cut off. Soon the Orc¡¯s left hand drooped. Arghhh! The Orc made another attack regardless of the missing hand. He turned to the side to avoid the Orc and slashed its thigh. ¡°Whoo¡­¡± He breathed briefly and swung the sword. Right now the Orc¡¯s whole body was full of wounds. Argh!!! Orc shook his fist in anger. He escaped the fist and slashed his arms. Grrr. He jump up and stabbed the flustered Orc in its head. Argh! Raymond could feel that he had penetrated it¡¯s skull. As soon as he pulled the sword out, the Orc drooped down. Bam! His heart was stuffy. His head was confused and he was out of breath. What¡¯s wrong with me? His view was starting to get blurry. I¡¯m going crazy. He had never felt this way before. The guilt of killing a life? Or was it because of his first time? Various complicated feelings bothered him. Maybe, because he just killed a monster similar to a human-like form. Whatever it was, what¡¯s important right now¡­ He can¡¯t stand this feelings. [¡°The Unknown God¡± look at you with worried eyes.] [¡°The Unknown God¡± recommend ¡°acting¡± the main character] Acting? Raymond thought about what kind of mentality the main character would have now. Let¡¯s do that. ¡°Whoo¡­¡± Surprisingly, his mind quickly calmed down. He was no longer reluctant to kill. He took a deep breath and straightened his back. He looked down at the dead Orc. Unlike earlier, when his heart was beating like it was on a verge of exploding, right now he was feeling calm. Currently, he was thinking that this Orc was just a humanoid pork ¡°Your tusk would be mine now.¡± Raymond took out the dagger hanging in his arms and opened the mouth of the Orc. In a case of defeating such a large body, it was okay to bring by-products such as the tusk. It would be better to take his whole body, but he was not strong enough to carry a body of this size. And there was no reason for that. All he have to do is take the evidence that he had defeated the Orc. ¡°As expected, you¡¯re are very capable Raymond.¡± As he pulled out Orc¡¯s tusk and put it in his pocket, Kaham, who had been stunned until then, approached him. ¡°I didn¡¯t know you would defeat and Orc. Honestly, I was a little surprised.¡± Were they close enough to have this kind of conversation? Why is he talking to me? He was even talking to him in such a friendly manner. ¡°I apologize for yesterday.¡± He was taken aback by Kaham¡¯s sudden apology. Raymond wondered if he heard it wrong for a moment, so he pricked his ears. ¡°Then let¡¯s move.¡± Kaham took the lead. *** Beatrice decided to move alone. She was confident in her skills, and she didn¡¯t want to hang out with the children of other nobles. It was annoying and hard to get rid of them. They were really sticky. Above all, she refused to attend the banquet after what happened back then. This is the order of the Tower Master. I must Participate in this banquet. If her master had not ordered it, she would not bother herself to come here. ¡°I hate noisy places.¡± She attended the banquet, but she only stayed in the accommodation. Even if she didn¡¯t get out of the accommodation, she was still updated of what was happening. This is because the children, who wanted to get her attention, informed her of various news. ¡°Raymond beat Kaham.¡± This was the most talk among the news she heard, it was also the only rumor about Raymond. As soon as she heard him, she remembered hearing about happened in the previous banquet she attended. ¡°How come my brother saved such a guy?¡± She just couldn¡¯t understand it no matter how much she think about it. Why did her brother sacrificed himself for that kind of Jerk? Beatrice shook her head to shake off what she was thinking. She didn¡¯t like the way she thought of him. So she decided to stop paying him attention. Rejecting the offer of joining other children, she entered the forest alone. She moved with the idea that it should be enough to catch a rabbit or deer. ¡°Uh¡­¡± How far did she walk? Her legs suddenly stiffened. In front of her was an Orc with red eyes.it looked back at her. ¡°Ahh!¡± Her legs trembled. She thought of her brother, Jerion. Her brother was in coma, while trying to protect Raymond and herself from Orcs. The memory of that time bothered her. Grrrr! The Orc roared at her. Beatrice¡¯s face turned white looking at it. Chapter 17 TL: Happy new year everyone! Hope you got a very Happy Holidays! We will now resume our pace of 2 advance chapters per day and 1 free! (Only during weekdays, weekend is my rest day.) *** Raymond followed Kaham despite not knowing the intention behind. The person, who used to be hostile to him at the banquet hall, was now friendly. He need to be careful around a person like him. Kaham might be kind now, but later¡­ He might stabbed him at the back. ¡®Why are we going deeper to the forest?¡¯ They¡¯ve been like this since earlier. Kaham had been leading him towards the deepest part of the forest. As they continue to search for suitable prey, Kaham lead him deeper and deeper as if his main purpose was to go there. It was then¡­ ¡°Ahhh!¡± The two of them heard a woman¡¯s voice. Bam! At the same time, a Red Flare soared into the sky. Raymond already knew what that flare mean. ¡°Emergency signal.¡± It was a signal that Beatrice often used to inform people around in case of an emergency. Did Kaham do something? Looking back at him, Raymond saw his forehead frowning. His face seemed to be saying that something did not go well. After looking at him, he ran towards the place where the flare rose. ¡°Barrier!¡± It was Beatrice¡¯s voice. She surrounded herself with her Barrier spell, with that, the Orcs were unable to touch her. Each of the Orcs were holding a Club. There was also a bigger Orc in the middle. It was twice as large as the other orcs, and it was wearing an armor. ¡°Orc Warrior!¡± A very strong and destructive monster among Orcs. It was a powerful entity that has its strength on par with Knights using mana. Why is such a monster here? The knights shouldn¡¯t have left that, wondering around the hunting area of the nobles¡¯ children. Like the Orc Warrior, the current situation itself was strange. The Orcs were all weird. They were drooling and their eyes were red. Usually the Orcs possess green eyes, like their own bodies. It was very weird to see these kind of Orcs. It looks like they have taken stimulant. ¡°O-Orc Warrior!¡± The astonished voice of Kaham was very loud. The Orcs shifted their eyes towards where the sound cane from. Kaham hurriedly covered his mouth as if he knew that it was his fault. However, the Orcs were already showing their teeth towards the two of them. Growl! Some of the Orcs came running towards them, while other Orcs remained and kept attacking the Barrier Spell of Beatrice. It seemed like they were more interested in women rather than men. ¡°Aahhhhhh!¡± Beatrice screamed at the Orc¡¯s vicious look. She was unable to counterattack even with her Barrier on. It was strange. If she was the same person from the Novel Raymond had read, it should be easy for her to solve her current predicament Her power when she met the main character was already great. No matter how weak she is, she was a 3rd circle wizard. Right now, at least half of the Orcs left and followed the two of them, but, she still was scared and unable to do anything. ¡°Why?¡± Raymond didn¡¯t have time to think. Before he knew it, the Orcs came closer and started swinging their club. He also took out his sword and counterattacked. Whoosh! His sword cut off the neck of the nearest Orc. Argh! Angry by the smell of blood of the same race, all Orcs surrounding Beatrice rushed towards him. Whoosh! Another Orc fell because of Raymond¡¯s attack. Pam! In time, Raymond avoided the club of the Orc. As soon as he started to act as the main character, he slaughtered Orcs like a machine. The number of orcs that first attacked Beatrice was only five, including the Orc warrior. But now, there were eight orcs in total Except for the Orcs he just killed, he still had to deal with the other six. This was an impossible feat to do, even if it was done by a Knight wondering alone. Kuaa! This Group of Orcs had an Orc warrior, double their size, leading them. One Orc warrior was equivalent to one knight, if the knight was using mana. The difference between using mana and not using it was like heaven and earth. ¡®What is it?¡¯ Raymond felt something strange while dealing with Orcs. Obviously, Kaham was with him, but strangely, the Orcs only attacked him. When he peeked at Kaham with doubt, he was just looking at them beside the Brown Barrel. From time to time, the Orcs glanced at Kaham, but still, they did not bother to attack him. It was strange, but Raymond didn¡¯t have time to care about it. He was busy dealing with Orcs. He looked around quickly. ¡°There¡¯s no chance of winning.¡± His reason thinks that his chances of winning were slim. Even if Kaham helped and Beatrice sorted herself up, they still wouldn¡¯t be able to win. The Orc Warrior was that dangerous. Furthermore, Kaham didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of helping him But why? Push. Even though he is in dire situation, deep inside, he didn¡¯t think he would lose. Was it because he was still acting as the protagonist, who killed thousands of monsters? This kind of thing felt like nothing to the main protagonist. While Raymond¡¯s mind was full of thoughts, he didn¡¯t stop dodging the Orcs¡¯ attacks and counterattacked. Whish! Whish! In just a minute, two more orcs were killed by his sword. ¡°Haa¡­¡± He started to feel heat coming from inside. He felt good. Cutting off their flesh. Breaking bones. Argh! Hearing their scream. He felt like he was going to get addicted by this situation. Plop, plop. He grabbed one Orc, and poked his sword into its chest one after another. Whenever his sword dug through its flesh, blood splattered all over his body and face. His fear for his first kill seemed ridiculous just now. ¡°It¡¯s not bad.¡± He was satisfied with killing these Orcs. Wham! Raymond avoided the club just in time. What is it? ¡®I think my body got a bit stronger.¡¯ Crack. His sword cut the Orc¡¯s head with a single slash. If it was him before, he wouldn¡¯t be able to slash even half of it. ¡°My strength got stronger.¡± His overall physical ability has increased. He didn¡¯t do anything else, but why did this happened? While Raymond was busy with his thoughts, Beatrice looked at the Orc behind him and gathered mana in her hand. ¡°Fire!¡± The Orcs, which were preparing for an attack from behind Raymond, was burning. While attacking the Orcs, her hand and body started trembling. ~~~Read at krnl.xyz for faster updates and advance chapters!~~~ Argh! With Beatrice¡¯s help, all Orcs, except the Orc Warrior, fell to the ground. The fallen orcs didn¡¯t look very good. The appearance of their whole body burning was so ugly that no matter how great his tenacity was, he still felt nauseous. Boom! The Orc Warrior, who had stayed still until then, stamped his foot. As he stamped his foot, the ground rang. The body was filled with red veins, and his already red eyes seemed to be filled with blood. Argh! The Orc warrior¡¯s roar rang in all directions. The trees around him shook violently and even twigs broke. Raymond could hear his tinnitus beeping due to the Orc Warrior. His eardrum seemed to burst at just a single roar. ¡°This is the Orc Warrior.¡± The reason was unknown why he stayed still in the midst of his fellow orcs¡¯ death. The momentum of the Orc warrior was great. As Raymond was facing it, his body started to tremble. Am I scared? That¡¯s not it. Now matter how strong that Orc Warrior will be, he was trembling because he was looking forward to see if it could satisfy him. Moving his left leg forward and his right leg backward, he bent his knees and pointed the sword at the Orc Warrior. Boom, boom! The Orc Warrior shook the club he was holding to break down the surrounding trees.Then, he screamed and rushed in. The Club was going up and down. If he were to block that, not only his arms would break, but also his head would be crashed. While, Raymond dodge it left and right, he didn¡¯t forget to leave some scars to the Orc Warrior. Arghh! The Orc warrior¡¯s arm was now full of wounds because of the attack of Raymond. Slash! Slash! It seems like the wounds was nothing to the Orc. Raymond knew that the Orc Warrior would not be easily shaken because of it. Raymond leaned down, and swung his sword down. The club scratched past the sword. Push. The sword stabbed the side of the Orc Warrior, however, it was shallow. Only the tip of his sword went in. Argh! The Orc Warrior screamed and punched his fist towards his head. ¡°Barrier!¡± A weak blue barrier formed over his head and blocked the Orc Warrior¡¯s fist. The Barrier was easily shattered, but thanks to it, it was able to buy some time to escape. If the magic was a little late, his head would have burst. Strangely, he was not afraid even though he almost died. But that was not enough. He started to realize something as he exchange blows with the Orc Warrior. He seemed to be more and more immersed on acting as the main character right now. He was starting to became the main character from his personality, behavior, and power. [¡°The Unknown God¡± is worried at your excessive immersion on your ¡°acting¡±.] A pale blue energy started surrounding the sword. The thought of ¡°losing¡± disappeared completely, and the thought of ¡°killing¡± filled his head. Argh! His swords swung towards the club of the Orc warrior. No matter how much he exercised in this short time, his body was still weaker than his peers. Nevertheless, he was able to win because of he was acting as the main character. He realized that as soon as he was ¡°immersed¡± as the main character, he was able to use Mana like his hands and feet. Because of that, his arms and legs were strengthened with his mana. He turned around and let the club slip away. Orc Warrior¡¯s body couldn¡¯t overcome its strength and tilted forward for a moment. ¡°Bind.¡± He casted a spell and stopped the Orc Warrior¡¯s movement for a moment. Thanks to it, he was able to poke the sword on the Orc Warrior¡¯s body. The sword with mana pierced through the tough leather and reached till its head. ¡°Whoo¡­¡± When the sword was removed, the Orc Warrior¡¯s body faltered helplessly and collapsed forward. He immersed completely to the main character. He was only immersed for a very short time, but he immediately killed the Orc Warrior. ¡°It¡¯s not enough.¡± Nevertheless, Raymond felt thirsty. He wanted to see more blood. Someone shouted in my head, saying, ¡°You have to kill more to gain talent.¡± He looked around. And then he saw her. A woman who shines brightly. She was Beatrice, and he wanted to take away her talent. If I kill her, wouldn¡¯t I have the talent she has? Don¡¯t. Stop! His body moved differently from what he thought. ¡°Raymond¡­¡± She stared up at him blankly. He looked at her indifferently and swung the sword. ¡°Bare, barrier!¡± Multiple barriers piled up over her body. He swung the sword regardless. Although he have a small amount of mana, it was not enough to broke the barrier from a 3rd Circle wizards. He continued slashing the Barrier and slowly it started to crumble. ¡°Ahhh!¡± With her scream, his sword barely stopped near her neck. His other hand grabbed the blade. As he held the blade, blood started dripping down. Raymond¡¯s head hurt more than his hands. He felt nauseated so he let go of the sword. He stumbled and leaned against the tree. His heart was thumping very fast. After a long time, he could barely come to his senses. ¡°I almost got eaten up.¡± He was too immersed in the main character. He felt like he became the main character, and he almost killed Beatrice. This was dangerous. No matter how good a sword was, it cannot be handled if the handle was a blade. ¡°Acting¡± was like that. If he was too immersed in the character he was portraying, he would lose his reasons. Raymond was afraid that if he was too immersed, his personality would drastically change. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± He approached her and tried talking to her. *** If you like this novel and translation donate Ko-fi or buy Mana to access the advance chapter! The money will be use in order to buy the chapters from the raws to support the author! Chapter 18 He took a deep breath and looked around. The place was now full of Orcs¡¯ corpses, and Kaham was nowhere to be seen. He looked between the bodies, in case there are some that weren¡¯t dead. However, there wasn¡¯t any. If the monster was busy with something else, most people would probably run. The same case happened with Kaham. He ran away without helping¡­ He was strange from the beginning. Starting with his gloves, luring him towards the deepest part of the forest, and the brown barrel. All of that pointed towards Kaham as the culprit. ¡®The Orcs were drugged. ¡°How?¡± Then, he remembered something. Orc stimulant. A drug that took away the reasons of the Orcs and make them go insane. However, it should not be possible to avoid Orcs just because they were the one who gave the drug. Something else was needed to avoid Orcs¡¯ gaze. An item that could hide his scent from the Orcs. Recalling the brown barrel beside Kaham, there might be something there that could prevent the Orcs from going near him. But how can Raymond prove that it was Kaham who instigated the Orcs? He needed more solid evidence. Yeah, evidence like the Orc stimulants. ¡°Ugh.¡± He heard a light moan. Looking down at the sound, Beatrice was looking down holding her ankle. ¡°Does your ankle hurt?¡± After asking the question, Raymond looked at his own body. Perhaps because of the orcs, the clothes he was wearing were dirty. She said nothing without raising her head. Raymond could feel that she didn¡¯t want to talk to him yet because of what happened earlier. ¡°You have to tell me so that I can help you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need your help.¡± She fixed her hair and said with her cold voice, still, she did now raised her head. Ouch. Raymond forgot that he had a big wound on his hand, so the pain reminded it to him He looked down at his hand and covered it with a clothe by cutting his sleeves. Still, Raymond actually hoped that they would have gotten a little closer while they were fighting together. Recalling what happened four years ago, she haven¡¯t forgotten that event yet. ¡°Can you go back alone? There could be more orcs.¡± Her body flinched and trembled at the word ¡®Orcs.¡¯ She didn¡¯t want to talk to Raymond, but her fear for Orcs was stronger. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s nothing I can do.¡± As she tried to move, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed Raymond¡¯s pants. ¡°Help me.¡± It¡¯s only then that Raymond let out a small smile. Beatrice must have been afraid to be alone in this forest. ¡°Then let¡¯s look your injuries first.¡± Raymond squatted down and grabbed her ankle. She flinched, however, Raymond didn¡¯t care and continued rolling up her pants. It was very swollen. It was amazing that she could endure such pain for a very long time. ¡°Get on my back.¡± Raymond turned around and showed his back to her. ¡°What?¡± ¡°I will be carrying you on my back. Your ankle would become more swollen if you force yourself to walk.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Raymond could feel her hesitation for a moment. After a while, he could feel a weight on his back. ¡®She is heavier than I thought!¡¯ She was slim but heavy. Still, she was not that heavy to him. Whether this was the results of his exercise or whether the Mana¡¯s influence was still there. ¡°I¡¯ll move slowly, so tell me if you ever feel uncomfortable.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± As she nodded, her hair passed by his cheeks. It smelled good. After a few minutes of walking¡­ ¡°What is this?¡± Something blocked his view. A leaf had fallen off from branch because of the wind, and now, it stucked on his face. ¡°¡­.¡± He took it from his face and look at it closely. It was not actually a leaf but it was shaped as leaf. Its color was faded yellow. Except that the holes were unnaturally drilled, there was a thread at the end. ¡°It smells bad.¡± There was a pungent smell coming from the holes. It smelled like rotten excrement, or fermented durians. In short, the worst smell. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s¡­¡± Listening to him, Beatrice, who was on his back, pretended to know. Then, she told him to put her down. ¡°Do you know what this is?¡± While asking, Raymond went closer to her. ¡°If what I think is right¡­ Your face is too close.¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry.¡± At her remarks, he distanced himself a little. She looked at him fiercely before speaking. ¡°¡­And until when are you going to speak formally? You¡¯re really weird.¡± Raymond was actually feeling uncomfortable talking to her, that¡¯s why he used formal tone unconsciously. Fortunately, she told him not to use the formal tone and he nodded willingly. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Without saying anything else, she bowed her head silently. Her eyes looked at the leaves for a while. Seeing her curious eyes locked on the leaves, Raymond also looked at it with a serious face. ¡®I don¡¯t think that¡¯s the only one.¡¯ He moved away from her, and looked between the bodies of the Orcs. Looking at the branches above their heads, he wondered. There were more things that resembled the leaves Beatrice was holding. He reached up a branch and got three more of those. Other than that, no matter how much he searched anywhere else, it seemed to be that weren¡¯t any of them anymore. He look at it for a while and went back to Beatrice. When he handed over the leaves to her, she nodded after checking what she received from Raymond. ¡°Do you know what it is?¡± ¡°This are stimulants.¡± Stimulant? If she said it was stimulant, then, his assumptions were right. ¡°Using this raises all the Orcs¡¯ desires. Things like appetite or greed.¡± She continued with a serious face. ¡°Among them, this especially increases appetite explosively. Humans are the main prey for Orcs.¡± Raymond understood what she was trying to say. Orcs blinded by hunger will rush in at the same time as they discover humans, and those living nearby will surely be in danger. Above all, the fact that this was hanging here means that someone installed it to kill people. ¡°What should I do to avoid them?¡± ¡°Their predator¡¯s stool. At least a Troll who hunt for Orcs or their stool, is needed. A stimulated Orc can even find a hidden wizard.¡± If so, their current situation wasn¡¯t strange. The stimulant belongs to Kaham, so he had the Troll¡¯s stool to avoid the Orcs¡¯ gaze. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to stay near the brown barrel. Then, how should they explain this to the knights? ~~~Read at krnl.xyz for faster updates and advance chapters!~~~ *** Somehow, Kaham was able to lure Raymond inside. He knew that Raymond was suspicious of him, but he still followed. Then, at the sudden scream of a woman, Kaham¡¯s heart seemed to sink. Was there anyone else? Kaham, who arrived along Raymond in a hurry, got his plans broken. ¡°Beatrice¡­ What¡¯s wrong with her?¡± There was a person who shouldn¡¯t have been there. Beatrice. The eldest daughter of a Master Wizard equivalent to the Millennium Family. The original plan did not include her. There was even an Orc Warrior there. The Orc Warrior was too dangerous to him. Orc Warriors doesn¡¯t mind trolls so the stool he prepared were useless. He have to run away. If he stayed here, he would also be attacked. Even if Beatrice was here, he wouldn¡¯t want to help her. When Orcs¡¯ eyes faced his way, Kaham immediately opened the lid of the barrel. Then it began to smell disgusting. He resisted it but it was too disgusting smell. The eyes of the Orcs flinched for a while, then they focused their gazes to Raymond. Raymond, who was dealing with Orc, look back at him. Kaham, who had eye contact with Raymond, flinched and shivering, also stared at him for a while. ¡®What¡¯s the point of noticing now? You¡¯re going to die anyway.¡¯ There was an Orc warrior. Even the knights might not be able to defeat them. There was no way that incompetent man can survive in front of an Orc warrior. Kaham ran away without looking back. Suddenly, what happened yesterday came to his mind, but he shook his head. Raymond will never beat an Orc warrior. ¡®Rather, it turned out well. If it¡¯s him, It¡¯ll definitely kill him.¡¯ Although there was something unexpected in his plans, the results would still be the same. There was Beatrice, but there¡¯s nothing he could do. She was caught, and it wasn¡¯t his fault. Kaham, who was running to the meeting place, suddenly stopped and looked at his body. He was too clean to say that he ran away by himself. Kaham tore up his clothes and injured himself and returned to the entrance. ¡°Hmm? Why are you here alone? Where¡¯s your party?¡± ¡°Oh, there is an Orc Warrior!¡± At the words of the article, Kaham shouted with a very scared face. ¡°What do you mean ¡®Orc Warrior¡¯? When we looked there, it wasn¡¯t there.¡± ¡°Are you saying that I lied? They really came out! I barely ran away by myself!¡± Kaham¡¯s voice spread in all directions, and all eyes finally looked at him. Only then did the Knights recognized the seriousness of this matter and urgently ask. ¡°Who were you with?¡± ¡°With Raymond¡­ Oh, there was also Beatrice.¡± Kaham spoke in a voice full of anxiousness and sadness as much as possible. ¡°Where are they?¡± ¡°Hey, hey.¡± At the question of the Knight, Kaham raised his hand and pointed in one direction. Knights with a stiff face headed immediately towards the direction he pointed. ¡°Are you okay? Your face is very pale.¡± People around him gathered and gave him words of consolation. Kaham bowed his head deeply. In order not to show a smile forming. Now that his obstacles had disappeared, Count Warlug and Selina¡¯s interest would return to him. Although there was an unexpected sacrifice. What can he do? That¡¯s was her unluckiness. ¡°Uh, uh, uh. Excuse me.!¡± ¡°It¡¯s Raymond!¡± What? Kaham¡¯s body, surrounded by people, stiffened by his words. When he saw him, Kaham¡¯s face turned pale. Raymond was carrying Beatrice, and approached them with a fierce face. Coming under the escort of the knights, he shouted. ¡°Healer! Bring a Healer!¡± He put Beatrice down on one side. All the people gathered around Kaham, were now running towards them ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Is it true that you encountered and Orc Warrior?¡± ¡°How were able to come back alive?¡± People wanted to hear their stories. But Beatrice remained still with her mouth closed. Raymond loosened his shoulders, walking out from the crowd, and approached Kaham. ¡°You ran away fast, huh?¡± Raymond glared at Kaham with a deep Killing intent in his eyes. Seeing Raymond, Kaham faltered and stepped back. *** If you like this novel and translation donate Ko-fi or buy Mana to access the advance chapter!

Maybe it was because all his strength was now all used up after the battle. His palms were sore, his thighs and forearms were throbbing. ¡°Young master Raymond!¡± When he was almost at the entrance, the knights found him and rushed towards him. And when they saw Beatrice on his back, they were stunned. It was already a big problem that the son of a Master wizard was injured, but now another one of the same status was also injured. ¡°Healer! Bring a healer!¡± After telling the knights, he carefully dropped Beatrice off. And then he looked around. ¡°I found him.¡± Kaham¡¯s face, who made eye contact with him, turned pale. He was really surprised that Beatrice and Raymond came back alive. It was really surprising. Because he, whom Kaham was trying to kill, came back alive against the Orc warrior. ¡°You were alive. I was surprised that you suddenly disappeared.¡± Raymond tried really hard to prevent his anger from bursting while talking to Kaham. ¡°Oh¡­ Ahh..¡± Looking at his shivering face, Raymond had the urge to hit him. Yesterday, he beat him until his face was red and his bones were broken. He shouldn¡¯t be able to wield the sword for a few months, but his clothes were torn and full of wounds, it was as if he participated in the battle. Seeing that he took the brown barrel with him, he must have been really scared that the Orcs would follow him. ¡®That¡¯s the container from before.¡¯ Due to that barrel, it was possible for him to escape. He looks so obvious. ¡°You must be very sad that I came back alive.¡± ¡°What a-are you saying?¡­ I¡¯m glad you came back safely.¡± ¡°Really? But you look too tense to be happy.¡± His face let out a forced smile. Watching his reaction, Raymond took out the leaves he had put in his pocket. ¡°I found something quite interesting there.¡± He showed him the leaf. Looking at his trembling eyes, Raymond was sure that he was the culprit. If he weren¡¯t the culprit, he would be confused and assumed that it was a leaf. ¡°It¡¯s an Orc stimulant. Thanks to this, it attracted an Orc Warrior.¡± People¡¯s eyes were on the leaves Raymond was holding. Kaham¡¯s complexion grew dark. ¡°That¡¯s weird. This was installed on the hunting ground. It was as if he was trying to kill someone.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°However, it was impossible to enter the hunting ground unless you¡¯re an official.¡± ¡°What are you saying¡­!¡± ¡°Why are you getting angry, I didn¡¯t say anyone in a specific way. Do you feel guilty about anything?¡± ¡°That doesn¡¯t make sense. There¡¯s no reason for me to do that.¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s right.¡± A Knight approached them, it could be seen that they were angry. Beatrice was also with him. After being healed, she now looked fine. ¡°I don¡¯t know who the culprit is, but the prank was too much. Thanks to him, Beatrice and I almost died.¡± The word ¡°died¡± gained the gasps of everyone. Death was a very sensitive word to aristocrats. ¡°You know what¡¯s funny about this leaves? It is toxic, so if you touch it with your bare hands, you will get black spots.¡± Raymond showed his hands to everyone. Black spots appeared over the hand that touched the leaves. ¡°This doesn¡¯t even require treatment, so the spots will subside after three days. Fortunately, these spots are harmless to the human body.¡± People look at his hands. ¡°If you can¡¯t believe it, someone else should touch it. Then you¡¯ll know that what I¡¯m saying is true.¡± A nobleman sent an apprentice Knight to touch the leaves. The apprentice Knight carefully touched the leaves. Not long after, the same spots appeared on his hand. ¡°It¡¯s true!¡± ¡°Does that mean the culprit is here?¡± People looked back at each other and stood away. They don¡¯t know who the culprit was. They knew that there was nothing good about being close to each other. ¡°If the culprit is here, he must have spots on his hand like me.¡± This has been in Raymond¡¯s mind since he learned that it was an Orc stimulant. In the original, the protagonist used it to attract Orcs, so he was very familiar with it. ¡°Everyone, please show your hands. This is an issue that needs to be solved by catching the criminal. I believe you all know why.¡± This was the law. A situation in which no matter how high status they were, he or she must be punished for the crime. Each of the people present showed their hands to the knight. ¡°Why doesn¡¯t Young master Kaham show his hands? If you¡¯re not the culprit, please show us.¡± ¡°¡­why should I do that?¡± Kaham pulled his hand back and gritted his teeth. Raymond tried to resolve it peacefully because there were many people¡¯s eyes, but now he was losing patience. It was hard to endure it anymore. ¡°I already know that you did it.¡± Raymond approached him. ¡°There¡¯s no evidence, right?¡± ¡°Evidence? Ha¡­¡± Raymond reached out and grabbed the brown barrel. Kaham¡¯s body flinched and tried to take it back, however, Raymond was stronger. ¡°No matter how bad my magic is, I am the eldest son of Count Millennium. Did you think that I will not recognize the magic here?¡± Then he opened the lid. A disgusting smell came out of the barrel. It was so strong that they could even see a light green smoke. ¡°Ugh!¡± ¡°What¡¯s this smell?¡± The people around freaked out and grabbed their noses as they stepped back. Because the smell was too strong, Raymond closed the lid immediately. ¡°I knew it from earlier that this as a conservation magic.¡± At this point, Kaham was too stunned that he didn¡¯t. Raymond took this advantage to take the gloves. Then his hands full of spots that were revealed. Hearing all the exclamation of the people around, Kaham hurriedly covered his hands, but it was too late, the people had already saw it. ¡°I told you. I knew you were the culprit. Or¡­ are you saying that you carry this around as a hobby? That¡¯s a really bad hobby.¡± Raymond called Beatrice. Having been treated by a Healer, she was able to walk to some extent. She walked past him and grabbed Kaham¡¯s wrist. And¡­ ¡°Light.¡± She used magic. Then light surrounded Kaham¡¯s hand, and his hands turned all black. ¡°Oh, oh¡­¡± Surprised and embarrassed, Kaham hurriedly pulled his hand back. Seeing it, she spoke. ¡°Orc stimulants are like magic drugs. Using a light magic, the area where the Orc stimulant had touched becomes black.¡± What she says made people nod in agreement. Her words were heavier than his, in front of these people. Raymond already talked to her along the way. He asked for help in catching the criminal. Because she was almost killed, she naturally agreed. And the result was this. *** As soon as she finished speaking, things went fast. Kaham, who failed to withstand the continued interrogation, eventually confessed, and even the servant, who agreed to the work with him, was also imprisoned. ¡®I can¡¯t end it with this.¡¯ Just because he was in jail doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s over. Although he had sinned and went in jail, that doesn¡¯t mean that he won¡¯t be bailed out. So he will be released soon. If Raymond wanted him to repent more, he could appeal to the court, but he didn¡¯t¡¯t want to go that far to develop things. He had worst impression among the nobles. Above all, he still have one thing to solve. ¡°Prison¡­¡± After the hunting event. The nobles returned to their own home one by one, while Raymond went to the prison where Kaham was locked up. ¡°Stay somewhere else until I call you.¡± Although, the gatekeeper who was guarding the prison protested, he used his family name to enter. ¡°I thought prison would be the bad¡­ but this is quite decent.¡± ¡°You, you¡­¡± Kaham, who saw him, pointed his finger and stuttered. Ignoring him, hs looked around the prison. His prison wasn¡¯t really bad. A bed, a clean blanket, and luxurious food that were not usually given to sinners were was in his prison cell. Although he is a sinner, a noble was still a noble? Contrary to his cell, his servant¡¯s prison was dirty and full of bugs. ¡°Did you think Luhaman¡¯s family will stay still and watch you do this? I¡¯m going to be released soon. As soon as I go out here, I will never forgive you.¡± Kaham growls like a beast. He really doesn¡¯t understand the situation. ¡°I can¡¯t believe you are still loud even when you are already locked up in prison. In a way, that¡¯s also a talent.¡± ¡°Are you insulting me?¡± ¡°Is it an insult?¡± It was really an insult. Raymond can¡¯t help but laugh. If Kaham really knew his situation, he would have never said that. He should take this opportunity to warn him. On how to act when he meet him. ¡°I¡¯m going to insult you from now on.¡± ¡°What¡­¡± ¡°I have a philosophy of returning what I received.¡± With the key he received from the gatekeeper, he opened the door of the sell and went inside. ¡°You tried to kill me, so I¡¯m trying to kill you too.¡± Crack, crack. After loosening his fist, he went near Kaham. Kaham stepped back. Only then did he notice what he was trying to do. He called the gatekeeper in a hurry, but the gatekeeper never came. He might have gone drinking in a bar at Raymond¡¯s order. ¡°I¡¯m generous, so I¡¯ll beat you just before you die.¡± ¡°Well, wait¡­¡± Before making a noise, Raymond stuffed a cloth into his mouth. He knew that he would be noisy if he didn¡¯t stuffed his mouth with clothe. Kick! Kick! Starting with his legs, Raymond continued to kick him. He should have done this before. When they had a fight in the banquet hall, he should have broken every bone to prevent him from doing anything. He didn¡¯t know that doing something in moderation would result to such a bothersome thing. ¡­crack. ¡°Ugh!¡± Kaham¡¯s face was covered with tears and runny nose. His face was filled with pained expression. Not long after, the stuffed clothe started to loosened and he was able to say some words. ¡°S-stop! P-please stop!¡± Kaham grabbed Raymond¡¯s leg and begged him to stop. I¡¯m so sorry I don¡¯t mean to stop. ¡°Gasp! Do you think you¡¯ll be safe like this? My father will not forgive you!¡± Raymond¡¯s fist stopped. Did he think his threats were successful? Looking at Raymond stopping for a moment, Kaham was delight. However, Raymond wasn¡¯t threatened. ¡°The family that you mentioned. Let¡¯s see what will happen in the future. I¡¯m looking forward to your expression at that time.¡± He screamed at Raymond incoming fist. *** If you like this novel and translation donate Ko-fi or buy Mana to access the advance chapter!

At the training ground in the middle of the forest, Raymond stood in a squat position. He was in that position for a long time. His legs were shaking and we¡¯re ready to give up at any moment, but he didn¡¯t stop. After 30 minutes, he stood up and shook his legs to prevent cramps. Then, he started doing push-ups. A month has passed since the banquet. In this past month, he spent his time exercising and be has gained quite a bit of muscle. ¡°From the Skylar family¡­¡± Next to him, Alice was reporting news she had gathered. First of all, information on Luhaman family was the main priority. He asked Alice to collect all the information related to Luhaman¡¯s work. Alice carried out her work steadily. It even came to the point where he curious about how she found out such information. ¡°¡­There¡¯s a rumor going around that Young Master Kaham has been abandoned.¡± This was the information she had learned. The Skylar and the Millennium were very angry that their children almost died because of him. Zachak Luhaman acted quickly. Even before the two families did anything, they already came and apologized. He brought a lot of wealth and gifts to ask for forgiveness. But that wasn¡¯t enough to calm down the two famous families. The first thing the two family did was to stop transactions on magic items to the Luhaman¡¯ family. And also they banned them to use of their Gates. In addition, all the nobles who interacted with Luhaman will also be refrained from using the Gate. The mode of transportation to the Luhaman¡¯s Estate were cut off. As a result, Luhaman Family was isolated. Even merchants stop coming from them. Moreover, during this month Zachak Luhaman came to apologize again with Kaham, who was released from prison. The two of them went to each houses and apologized by hitting their heads on the ground. The father even asked for forgiveness by trampling on his child¡¯s pride. In the first place, Raymond didn¡¯t want to forgive them, and so did Beatrice. Who can easily forgive a person who threatened his or her life? ¡®But I was surprised when Luhaman Zachak bowed his head to me.¡¯ It was really surprising in many ways that a noble with high pride bowed his head to him. ¡°¡­In the end we¡¯ve decided to forgive him.¡± The Millennium Count decided to forgive him on the condition that he would have half of his land for free, and Count Skylar on the condition that he would have Ores for several years. Losing half of his land and ore, the main source of income, was a big blow to their Estate economy. Luhaman had no choice but to cry and accept this unreasonable deal As a result, both families were able to get hundreds of gold coins, and great benefit. Because he was one of the victims, he received a huge amount of money and now the monetary problems in future is solved. ¡°And Young Lady Beatrice went to the Magic Tower private training center and didn¡¯t came out for a few days.¡± ¡°Really? She must have been greatly stimulated by this incident.¡± The biggest reason why she entered the training center may be the Orcs incident. She must have been shocked that she almost died without counter-attacking properly. ¡°Some of these news are not accurate because they are just rumors.¡± ¡°Okay, good job.¡± Knowing her characteristics, as Alice said, she really have gone into training. For sure she had a big pride as a genius, so what happened in the banquet might have ignited her desire to become stronger. ¡®Well¡­ Having her busy with training, It¡¯s not a bad thing for me.¡¯ It was a good thing for him if she¡¯s gotten stronger, because if she did, his chances of surviving will increase. ¡°I need to hurry up and have on my side.¡± It would be great celebration if she became stronger, but she wasn¡¯t on his side yet. The stronger she becomes, the busier she will be and also lesser the days to meet her. In severe cases, he may have no chance to get close to her. ¡°¡­The Count told me to go to his study room as soon as the training is over.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± He stopped moving at Alice¡¯s words. What¡¯s the reason? If the reason to call him was that¡­ As expected, swordsmanship is everything. They haven¡¯t talked about what happened a month ago. ¡®I should talk about it to him at least once.¡¯ Just in time, he had something to say to the count. ¡°Whoo¡­¡± He stood up. Perhaps because the weather got colder, he could see steam rising from his body with his naked eye. Alice quickly approached him and wrapped a towel around his body. ¡°You¡¯re going to catch a cold.¡± ¡°Oh, thank you.¡± Was it because his body cools down as his sweat cools down? His body definitely cooled down quickly. He headed to the bathhouse, while roughly wiping sweat off his body with the towel. ~~~ Read at krnvl.xyz for faster updates and advance chapters!~~~ *** After the banquet, many rumors floated around. It was surprising that Zachak Luhaman took his son around and apologized. ¡°You just saw young Raymond, right?¡± ¡°Yeah. But he look like a different person. don¡¯t think he¡¯s the young master I know..¡± ¡°I know. He look like a completely different person.¡± Apart from everything else, the biggest rumor was about a man. ¡°To be honest, it was already surprising that he accepted the duel with young master Kaham, but he even won! I really thought it would be young master Kaham¡¯s victory.¡± Incompetent. Bastard. Scum. Jerk. Those are the words that usually describe Raymond. ¡°Have you seen young Raymond hunting? He even hunted the Orc Warrior.¡± ¡°Really? Isn¡¯t Orc Warrior a monster that even knights find hard it hard to defeat? Young Master Raymond hunted that?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! The knights went to the place, and there were six more orcs¡¯ body, as well as the Orc Warrior.¡± Raymond Millennium. It was even harder to find a maid who had never been insulted or bullied by him. That¡¯s why, despite the news that Raymond won against the youngest knight and his exercise in the training camo, they find it hard to believe in the news that Raymond had changed. No, they didn¡¯t want to believe it. Raymond, their young master that have always beat them. His change, no matter how good it was, they were not still happy about him. Just because he changed, there was no guarantee that he wouldn¡¯t beat them again. However, some of the servants thoughts changed a little after the banquet. ¡°Young master Raymond helped me when I was bullied by a noble. ¡°He forgave me even though I spilled water.¡± Raymond¡¯s appearance at the banquet came as a big shock to them. Raymond showed such a good performance that they doubted if what they saw was right. In addition, they were really surprised at the fact that he defeated an Orc warrior. But there are people who dislikes him. ¡°Did he really change? That¡¯s not funny. How does that jerk change?¡± ¡°He is just pretending to change. He might be the same if there¡¯s no one around.¡± ¡°Orc Warrior? It might be defeated by Young lady Beatrice, remember, she was with him.¡± There were also those who viewed him with a negative perspective. They had a grudge against Raymond after being severely bullied by him. It would be very difficult to change their minds. ¡°Young master Raymond is passing by.¡± The maids who were cleaning the floor lined up. ¡°Greetings to young master Raymond.¡± Raymond glanced through the maids. The maids flinched at his eyes. Although they knew that Raymond had changed, they were still afraid because of what happened before. ¡°You must have been cleaning.¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Raymond looked at them and scratched his cheeks. ¡°Okay, good luck.¡± At Raymond¡¯s words made the maid¡¯s eyes was tearing a bit. Then she bowed and said loudly. ¡°Thank you!¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Raymond was now out of sight. The maids looked at his back as if they still couldn¡¯t believe at his sudden change. ¡°Did he just told me to good luck didn¡¯t he? I¡¯m not the only one who heard it, right?¡± ¡°Yeah. I heard it, too. He definitely told us good luck.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe young Raymond told me good luck.¡± The maids¡¯ gaze moved and look at Alice, who was following Raymond. The woman with a strangely bright face. Raymond¡¯s exclusive maid has been very happy these days. Wouldn¡¯t she know it better than they do? All the maids thought about talking to Alice later. ~~~ Read at krnvl.xyz for faster updates and advance chapters.~~~ *** On the way to the count. Raymond organized his thoughts on what to say to the count. ¡®Why did the count call me?¡¯ It was most likely about the sword technique he showed during the duel with Kaham. He didn¡¯t mean to hide about swordsmanship. He would answer as much as he can. But, that wasn¡¯t what was important now. There was something he wanted from the count. The Count¡¯s permission was required to do it. ¡®I have to go to the academy.¡¯ He definitely need to go to the academy. The first place where the protagonist, who just learned that he could get talent by killing people after Raymond¡¯s death, was the Royal Academy. The place where most talented people gather from all over the kingdom. For the protagonist who wanted talent, the academy was like the best buffet place. The kingdom would be destroyed if the protagonist attacked the academy. Those who should have lead the future generation of the kingdom, died in the hands of the main character, and it was impossible to cultivate more talent because the academy could not be operated. ¡®He had to block him.¡¯ He needed to prevent the main character from attacking the academy. Although he was not sure if he can beat him with his current strength. It was impossible to kill him, but he¡¯ll be able to stop him to some extent. In addition, he could recruit more unexpected talents not written in the novel there. In many ways, he had many reasons to go. ¡°You¡¯re here, young master Raymond.¡± The butler, who was waiting for him in front of the door, bowed. Then the butler raised his hand and knocked on the door. knock, knock ¡°Young master Raymond is here¡±. ¡°Let him in.¡± Squeak. ¡°You can go in.¡± Before going in, Raymond looked back at Alice. If he go in like this, she¡¯ll keep standing in place and wait for him. ¡°You, go and do your job.¡± ¡°As you command, young master.¡± Alice bowed her head. He nodded and went inside. Raymond thought he¡¯d be busy with documents as always, this time, he was sitting on the sofa sipping tea. It seems that he was waiting for him. Raymond sat on the sofa in front of him. ¡°What would you like to drink?¡± ¡°Water.¡± He didn¡¯t like the taste of the tea, it was the same in earth and here. At the same time, as the butler put the water down in front of him, the count signaled him to go out. The butler bowed his head and went outside. Thump. The door closing could be heard, and the count put down the teacup. They stared at each other for a while without saying anything. The first one to break the silence was Count Millennium. ¡°You changed a lot.¡± The count¡¯s finger knocked on the armrest. That sound was kind of annoying. ¡°Because you said you¡¯d change.¡± ¡°Yeah¡­ I did. I¡¯ll be a rational jerk.¡± Rains just shrugged as he responded. The count¡¯s eyes were filled with complex feelings. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that a rational jerk would be like this¡­¡± The count stopped in the middle of his sentence. He seemed to be thinking about what to say next. And when he tried to continue speaking, Raymond took the initiative to cut him. ¡°I want to go to the academy.¡± ¡°What?¡± The count¡¯s expression became strange. Raymond blinked as if wondering if he said something wrong. *** If you like this novel and translation donate Ko-fi (ko-fi. com/karnevale) or buy Mana to access the advance chapter!

He looked at his face as if he was trying to deduced Raymond¡¯s thoughts. And soon after, he frowned when he had realized that Raymond was really serious. ¡°You want to go to the academy¡­¡± He didn¡¯t seemed to be pleased that Raymond wanted to go to the academy. Anyway, Raymond already expected this kind of response from him. ¡°The Royal Academy is a place where commoners and aristocrats are equal.¡± Royal Academy. Another name was ¡®Talent Training Institution.¡¯ It was an institution supported by the royal family in order to gather and raise talented commoners. The royal family sponsored all the accommodation and meals. It didn¡¯t take much money to attend the academy. The only thing that has some cost was the travel between the academy and the student¡¯s home, that was if they didn¡¯t stay in their dorm. Although it mainly accepted commoners, it also allowed Nobles¡¯ children to attend. Mostly, only Nobles with names but without power. Nobles with poor land, etc. The children of aristocrats who could not afford to hire private teacher or do not have connection to be entrusted to other families, have no choice but to attend the academy. However, unlike commoners who did not need any cost, the nobles had to pay a registration fee. The higher the position of their family, the higher the amount. However, so far, there had been no record of children from higher nobles attending the academy. They all thought that they don¡¯t need to. Each powerful family has its own educational system. Coming from a family with a long history of lineage, the children from the branches and the main family were enough to create their own school. Their education system was higher than the Academy¡¯s anyway. Each family has atleast either a swordsmaster or Master Wizard teaching their children. There was no way that the academy¡¯s education system could stand against the educational method by experts from each field, just by hiring decent teachers. Above all, nobles have high self-esteem. There were many nobles who thought that it was impossible to receive education in the same space as commoners. They were inferior than them! Therefore, even if other Noble did not have a separate education system, their will still entrust their children to other prestigious families, instead of going to the academy. The original Raymond wasn¡¯t afraid of the huge sum he would need to pay to attend the academy, his pride was just high. And that was the same with Count Millennium. He knew Raymond wasn¡¯t talented in magic. And at this banquet, he learned that he had a talent for swordsmanship. The talent that the main character of the Novel covets, and also what surprised Count Warlug. ¡°Is it because of swordsmanship that you¡¯re going to the academy?¡± He said as he stood up. ¡°Yes.¡± Raymond answered without any hesitation. This was a good justification for him to go to the academy. Swordsmanship. The Millennium family was a Wizardry Family. Education on swordsmanship was bound to be somewhat poor. But there was one thing that he forgot. ¡°You can learn better swordsmanship without having to go to the academy.¡± That is, the Millennium Family¡¯s power and wealth was enormous. Even if he didn¡¯t go to the academy, he could still learn better swordsmanship. However, he can¡¯t possibly back out. He must go there, otherwise the kingdom would be doomed. ¡°I know.¡± ¡°You know¡­ Still, you want to go to the academy?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Count Millennium frowned and became uncomfortable. ¡°What if I told you not to go?¡± Raymond just shrugged at his words. That alone was enough as an answer. Count Millennium remained silent for a while. Looking at him, Raymond thought of others reason to go to the academy. He needed to be able to refute his words at any time. He organized his thoughts until Count Millennium spoke again. ¡®First of all, to learn swordsmanship¡­¡¯ ¡®Great swordsmanship was good, but I want to experience more swordsmanship¡­¡¯ ¡®I want to experience the life of a commoner, not the son of a count¡­¡¯ If these didn¡¯t work out, he could sneaked out, but that was the last resort. While he was thinking about what to say or what to answer. What Count Millennium said was beyond his expectations. ¡°The day you said you would be a rational jerk¡­¡± He rattled a teacup and narrated what happened in the past. ¡°I couldn¡¯t believe it.¡± Then his brown eyes looked at him. At first glance, Raymond face was expressionless, but Count Millennium still saw his eyes wavering for a moment. ¡°I couldn¡¯t believe it. Over the past 12 years¡­you¡¯ve told me countless times that you¡¯d change.¡± Raymond quietly listened to him. It was unexpected for him to say this. However, it was true that the Raymond before only said empty words. ¡°Every time you break your promise, you would also betray my expectations.¡± ¡®This was about the previous Raymond, not me.¡¯ The days where he started as an incompetent jerk began at the age of six. The influence from that time remained until now. Raymond¡¯s influence remained so thick that even the way he ooked so far was insufficient that it did not want to disappear. Therefore, he silently listened to the count. He didn¡¯t do it, but he was Raymond anyway. ¡°That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t take much of what you said this time. I wondered if you would make more mess, so I thought you would still be the same as always.¡± In the Novel, Count Millennium was not a very talkative person. He was a person who was always serious and didn¡¯t said unnecessary things. It felt somewhat strange for Raymond to see his father talking this much. ¡°You are my son.¡± No matter he Raymond lived, he was still a son to him. Seeing that Raymond was persuading him so much about going to the academy¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t expect much from you, but I am looking forward to what you will do.¡± He said contradictory things. ¡°Since that day, you¡¯ve done something out of my expectations.¡± His son knocked down the wizards, beat Kaham with swordsmanship, and hunted an Orc warrior. ¡°Especially that sword technique I saw. I decided to have my hopes up again because of your swordsmanship.¡± ¡°That means I can go to the academy.¡± ¡°However, this is the last time. If you disappoint me this time, my hopes for you to change will be crushed.¡± Raymond nodded quietly. *** ~~~Read at krnvl.xyz fr faster updates and advance chapters!~~~ *** When Raymond was getting ready to go to the academy. Count Warlug visited Count Millennium immediately. This was because Count Millennium informed him of the news that Raymond would be attending the Royal Academy. The content was really too shocking to him. ¡°Are you really going to send him to the academy?¡± Sending Raymond also meant sending the whole Millennium to the Academy. Count Warlug couldn¡¯t understand why. Count Millennium just smiled at him. ¡°You don¡¯t understand why I allowed him.¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking about the obvious thing.¡± Yeah, he really couldn¡¯t understand it. ¡°It means that I¡¯m a father too¡±. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Count Millennium laughed at Count Warlug. ¡°12 years. It¡¯s been 12 years.¡± In these 12 years he had hoped that, Raymond, would come to his senses. Even when he came to ask for forgiveness after doing something wrong. Even when he admitted his fault and said he would never do it again. Because Raymond was his son. He believed and endured it because he was his son. In this few years he had been cleaning the mess his son did, and everyday he begged God to have Raymond change. When will he come to his senses? How long did he have to wait? When he heard a report of his different behavior than usual, he just let it go. This wasn¡¯t a strange case, but no matter what he did to change, he was still a jerk. However, as soon the new reports was delivered to him, and his confident appearance when they ate together. When he beat Kaham with swordsmanship at the banquet hall and defeated the Orc Warrior. ¡°Can I trust his this time?¡±¡¯ His expectations arose again, for the first time after many years. Count Millennium thought his son might have come to his senses, acting as what a son from a prominent family would do. But he wasn¡¯t sure yet. It¡¯s only been a month now. It was too short to say that he bad changed. Now he will watch him. And above all, there was another separate reason. ¡®It was a firm eye.¡¯ The eyes of Raymond was really determined. His will to go to the academy somehow. As his father, he was curious what will his son determination would do. ¡°I don¡¯t know if he¡¯ll do well on his own¡­ I thought you¡¯d send Raymond to me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I was thinking.¡± To his knowledge, Count Warlug was the best in terms of swordsmanship teacher. His daughter Selina proved it. It¡¯s hard to imagine how strong Raymond would become if he use Mana. Raymond beat the youngest knight even though he just started swinging the sword, also he overwhelmingly trampled on Kaham, dubbed as a sword prodigy. If his talent was helped by Count Warlug, it will surely become the greatest in the whole kingdom. ¡°There¡¯s a reason why there¡¯s a saying that there¡¯s no parent who wins over their children.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Children will grow up someday. If so, wouldn¡¯t it be better to let them do what they want to do? ¡°You look happy.¡± ¡°Me?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Count Millennium picked up the tea cup silently and drank cold tea. ¡°The academy¡¯s quiet days will soon be gone.¡± Count Warlug muttered quietly watching him. The sword technique that Raymond showed him and a different side of him. Those two alone were enough to make the academy become noisy. Having multiple experiences was very helpful to a swordsman. Because he will experience how to respond to many variables. ¡®Hmm¡­ Let me also send Selina to the academy.¡¯ Looking at Count Millennium, Count Warlug seriously pondered. *** ~~~Read at krnvl.xyz for faster updates and advance chapters!~~~ *** There are days like that in life. It¡¯s not like there¡¯s something wrong with his body or the weather was bad, but he felt uncomfortable for no reason. ¡°Is there anything you feel uncomfortable? Alice, who noticed his condition, asked him with a worried face. It seemed strange that Raymond was frowning this much. She looked worried that he might be sick. ¡°I just feel bad.¡± She nodded. Raymond was not feeling sick anywhere, but he felt quite uncomfortable. He always felt this a few times back when he was a minor actor. At that time, something always happened in times like this. However, he cannot postpone the departure date. A little delay could ruin his plan. ¡°It¡¯s nothing special, right? It¡¯s not that I¡¯m feeling uncomfortable.¡± It was uncomfortable, but not to the point he would affect him. It was just moderately unpleasant. ¡®And now I¡¯m Raymond Millennium, not the minor actor Lee Sung-hyuk.¡¯ So there was no reason to postpone what he wanted to do just because he feel that way. The wagon moved with a rattling sound. Chapter 22 Raymond felt a stinging gaze. Even if he tried to ignore it, it was hard because it was too strong. When he turned his head and looked to his side, he saw a knight turning his head away from him hurriedly. ¡®Why is he staring at me for no reason?¡¯ Raymond got off the carriage frustrated. He stayed in the carriage all day long. No matter how comfortable the carriage was made, he still felt pain in a$$ staying still without any significant movement. Also, the seat wasn¡¯t that soft. It was very hard because it was made of hard leather sheets. In addition, the mountenous path was so rough, so he would always bounce up and down. Raymond was worried that his back would become stiff at this rate. So he got off. Since they moved slowly in the first place, there was no significant difference between him walking or riding inside the carriage. By walking he was also going to increase his muscles, while seeing the surrounding scenery. He was going to relax for the first time in a while. ¡°Who is it?¡± Just by turning his head, he could feel a hot gaze. However, it was not with good intention. Raymond could feel that the gaze directed at him was from someone with bad intention. He tried to ignore it at first, because he was already use to it. The majority of people in the mansion looked at him like that. However, it felt uncomfortable passing by knowing that someone was gazing at him with bad intention. ¡®I thought that people would have changed their view of me after what happened in the banquet, but it seems like it isn¡¯t easy.¡¯ ¡°Why?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Even if he went to talked to one of the knights, he wouldn¡¯t answer. He just looked at him for a few seconds and turned his head away. ¡®Ha¡­ Is he testing my patience?¡¯ Unlike when the commander of the knights was with them, the gaze around him were different. Right now there was only, Alice, and the knights. So there¡¯s no one to blame for looking down at him. ¡°But I can¡¯t hit him.¡± It has only been a day since he talked with the count. If he were to beat him right now, without even arriving at the academy, for sure the count would send someone to retrieve him. He can¡¯t make excuses because he was not here, and above all, Raymond didn¡¯t want to tarnish his reputation for that. And somehow, he had a hunch that something would have happened between them and him. Between the previous Raymond and them, to be precise. ~~~Read this on krnvl.xyz~~~ But, he didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for him. And also, it seems like the knights wouldn¡¯t follow him either. They already have a grudge against him, and now he wanted them to suffer more? Therefore, he decided to move with ease. ¡°¡­.¡± He was lying on the carriage seat and closed his eyes. In front of him there was Alice talking about the information she had gathered before leaving the Millennium State. Raymond didn¡¯t know how she got hold of those information, but it was true that she was very reliable in this matters. Whenever he asked her to do something, she would look into it properly, so he didn¡¯t have to worry too much. The information she told him this time was about Selina. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Alice said that Selina was preparing to go somewhere, but she didn¡¯t know the location. Well, that was enough. ~~~Read this on krnvl.xyz~~~ The coachman was restless and looked back at the knights alternately. ¡°Don¡¯t come out of here.¡± ~~~Read this on krnvl.xyz~~~ Alice nodded blankly at Raymond. When he got off the wagon, the knights looked at him while frowning. He felt that Raymond was just making a scene by pulling out his sword and suddenly stopping the carriage. ¡°Did you not feel it?¡± Killing Intent. The countless Killing Intent was thrown at him. If they felt this, they wouldn¡¯t have reacted like that. They should have drawn their sword out like him and become wary of the surroundings. ¡°¡­!¡± ~~~Read this on krnvl.xyz~~~ ¡°Why is the Blood Lust Axe¡­!¡± The knights became shocked when he introduced himself. Raymond was also surprised. Leonard was also a character in the novel. He was an extra character like him. Still, he was notorious among merchants, and he posses a strong power that it was difficult for knights to deal with. Even if he didn¡¯t encounter the protagonist, he was still mentioned in the novel from time to time. Obviously, it was clear that they wouldn¡¯t be able to win with their current power, but Raymond didn¡¯t think he would lose. It was the same feeling he felt back when he faced the Orcs. Maybe because he defeated an Orc Warrior? A much bigger and stronger than him? ¡°I don¡¯t think you know me either.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll die anyway, so you don¡¯t have to know my name.¡± The bandits burst into laughter at what Raymond said. The knight looked at him like he was crazy. The bandit¡¯s laughter stopped and the bandit boss said. ¡°You don¡¯t know how scary a Goblin was.¡± ¡°Why are you talking so long? Are you scared?¡± ¡°Hey!¡± The bandit boss ran toward him roaring. The ground thumped. The knight rushed towards Raymond, but the swing of the ax came faster toward Raymond¡¯s head than him. A situation where everyone wouldn¡¯t suspect his death. Like what was happening right now. The sword Raymond held flashed, and it swung like a thunderbolt. Swish, roll. The head of the bandit boss fell to the ground and the body that lost its head fell. Silence lingered. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World .

You¡¯re not doing your job.¡± Raymond smiled and looked at the knight. *** Chapter 23 *** After the bandit¡¯s attack, the knights were even more speechless. Sometimes they glanced at him with complicated eyes. He didn¡¯t care much because he wasn¡¯t the previous Raymond anymore. ¡°Hurry up and walk!¡± After staring at him, the knights shouted at the bandits, who were tied up. They seemed to blame themselves for not being able to do anything when the bandit appeared. They were Knights, but were protected by their master, there was nothing more humiliating than that. However, those feelings didn¡¯t stay longer. ¡°In the first place, they don¡¯t think I am their young lord. Well, it¡¯s not something I care about.¡± Recalling the feeling he felt while confronting the bandits, he felt good. A fight in which he could exert his potential. The feeling that everything around him becomes clear and he could see the enemy¡¯s movements clearly. The more he thought about it, the more his blood boil. Obviously, the bandit boss¡¯ movements was fast. It was so fast and powerful that it should be hard to avoid, even to Knights using Mana. ¡°However, I dodge it.¡± When the attack came to him, his surroundings had gone slow-mo. ~~~Read this on krnvl.xyz~~~ ***~~~Read this on krnvl.xyz~~~ ¡°Yes.¡± ~~~Read this on krnvl.xyz~~~ ***~~~Read this on krnvl.xyz~~~ ¡®I have two talents.

Thanks Other than that, there was no way to explain why the main character ignored me. Furthermore, what he said. ¡°Why would you use that kind of thing?¡± If he had seen the talent of swordsmanship, he would never have said it. He treated it as a useless talent because he saw acting, so ignored him. ¡°Huh¡­¡± What was the meaning of the hardships he had faced so far? The reason he was honing his skills was to survive against the main character. But if the main character doesn¡¯t want to kill him, was there a need to suffer? ¡®You have to be strong.¡¯ To live.

However, it was fortunate that the website was in some sort of maintenance. I noticed some wrong grammars in the previous chapters that I posted before exam, I will correct them later. Happy Seolla! (Chinese new year in Korean.) *** After four days, they arrived at the city where the Royal Academy is situated. The exterior of the Academy was so spectacular and extravagant. Gold and silver were used as decorations on the white outer wall, and the statue of King were erected behind the fountain in the center of the academy. The city, where the Royal Academy is, was huge. Perhaps because there were many noble¡¯s children present, the security to the city was quite tight. The guards were so strict that they wouldn¡¯t have entered the city if the knights did not present an ID card with the pattern that represented the Millennium Family. ¡°Can we even able to enter today?¡± ¡°Sorry, sorry. The Knight sweated a lot at Raymond¡¯s words. He said it as a joke, but there were so many people in the city that he started wonderinh if he could actually go to the academy within this day. Fortunately, he was given a VIP treatment thanks to the carriage he was riding, which seems to only be done to noblemen. The streets, which was full of people lining up, divided into two sides leaving the middle empty. The scene, where so many people split towards each sides, was a satisfying scene. However, he let out a bitter smile at the fact that encountering a noble was a nuisance to commoners. They arrived to the inner walls of the Academy like that. ¡°We¡¯ll be on our way home now, young master Raymond.¡± As they came all the way here, the knights changed their view of him little by little. He said goodbye to the knights and entered the academy with Alice. ¡°Young Master Raymond?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Jamie, who will guide Young Master Raymond inside. Please follow me.¡± Wearing a dark blue uniform, he had a warm aura. With a gentle smile, he guided Raymond inside the academy. ¡°That¡¯s where swordsmanship students can train. Over there¡­ ¡± While going inside, he started orienting him about the academy. Despite arriving early in the morning, a large number of students already gathered in the training grounds and classroom. Seeing an unfamiliar person, all the students were curious who he was. ¡°Do you know him?¡± ¡°Look at his outfit. It looks so expensive.¡± Raymond felt the eyes of the students looking at him. They were looking at him with curious eyes. From what he wear to why he have a maid. From their point of view, it was strange for a high-ranking aristocrats like him to come here. ¡°This is the place¡­¡± ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°This is the Vice-Principal¡¯s office. The Vice-Principal is looking forward to meeting Young Master Raymond.¡± ¡®So him guiding me was for the vice principal, huh?¡¯ For a while, Raymond saw a contempt in the guide face. The expression appeared for a very short time and disappeared immediately, but he could see it clearly. Knock, knock ¡°Vice-Principal, Young Master Raymond is here.¡± As soon as Jamie¡¯s words came out, a voice came from inside. ¡°Let him in.¡± Before coming inside, he ordered Alice to gather information. Unlike the Count¡¯s office full of documents, the Vice-Principal¡¯s office was well organized. There was a bookshelf behind the chair where the Vice-Principal sat, and a large window with a clear view of the outside in front. ¡°Sit this way.¡± Jamie lead Raymond to the sofa in front of his desk of the Vice-Principal Jamie looked very tired with dark circles and skinny, for the Vice-Principal, it could be seen that he enjoyed wealth with thick flesh. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Kuharam¡¯s Tea was just delivered to us. Young Master Raymond, if you don¡¯t mind, let me pour you a cup of tea.¡± After saying that the Vice-Principal himself poured him a tea. Then, he beckoned Jamie, who was still standing. ¡°What are you still doing here? Go and do what you need to do.¡± Jamie bowed his head and went outside. ¡°I wonder why Young Master Raymond came to the Academy.¡± The Vice-Principal went straight to the point as to whether he could not stand his curiosity anymore. His question was understandable. No matter how much hard he work at the academy, he knew it better how lacking was their education system compared to a prestigious family. Furthermore, the Vice-Principal knows the situation of his family. He already thought of an answer. ¡°I just wanted to experiences something new. No matter how good my family¡¯s education system is, there are still things that I can only be obtain from the academy.¡± ¡°I see. I¡¯m glad to hear that you think highly of the Academy, Young Master Raymond.¡± ¡°Young Master Raymond, you¡¯ll definitely become a great Swordsman..¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°But¡­ If there¡¯s something I¡¯m worried about¡­.¡± He was now pretending to hesitate to speak. The Vice-Principal was so good at acting that Raymond wouldn¡¯t suspect that he was trying to read his mind. ¡°Will Young master Raymond be able to get along with the rest of his children? Oh! Please pretend you didn¡¯t hear this. I¡¯ve heard rumors about you, young master Raymond¡­¡± ¡°¡­.¡± He said, quickly after scanning Raymond¡¯s face. ¡°But seeing you in person, I can¡¯t believe the rumor. When I see you like this, who would¡­.¡± ¡°I have this side of mine?¡± ¡°What?¡± He stuttered at Raymond¡¯s surprising remark. He could see what the Vice-Principal was thinking. Did he think he would just stay silent when he was swearing at him? If the Vice-Principal thought so, Raymond would be very sorry. Looking at him, he raised one corner of his mouth. ¡°Many people looked at me and reacted similarly to the Vice-Principal. I wonder what the Vice-Principal thought of me.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s¡­¡± He broke into a cold sweat. He was put in an awkward position at Raymond¡¯s sudden words. ¡°I¡¯m just kidding. Just kidding.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ hahaha. You¡¯re quite mischievous, young master Raymond.¡± He, who was smiling awkwardly, spoke quickly to change the subject. ¡°You still didn¡¯t know where your class is, right?¡± ¡°Yes, I came to see the vice principal right away¡­¡± ¡°Young master Raymond will take classes in class A-2. Class A has a large number of noble children, so you won¡¯t be able to meet any commoners. And I¡¯ve told the teachers, so if you have any inconvenience, please feel free to tell it to me.¡± ¡°Thank you for your consideration. Oh, I brought a maid. I think I¡¯d feel uncomfortable without her¡­¡± ¡°If that¡¯s it, that¡¯s fine. There are also other children accompanied by their servants.¡± ¡°I see.¡± ¡°I¡¯m worried if I¡¯ve held you for too long.¡± ¡°No, I drank good tea thanks to you.¡± ¡°Thank you for your compliment, young master Raymond.¡± Raymond stood up and bowed his head lightly to him. The Vice-Principal bowed his head facing him too. As he went outside, he could feel the deep gaze of the Vice-Principal. *** Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World .

He preferred doing surprise attack rather than a head-to-head confrontation, in which, he prevented the protagonist from sleeping for nearly a month. Even if he were to have a head-to-head match with the protagonist, he didn¡¯t easily lose. The reason why he was not caught by the main character, even though he possess a monstrous talent, was because of his personality. ¡°But I don¡¯t understand. What could be the reason on why the young master is interested in him?¡± Even Alice, who went to investigate under Raymond¡¯s order, couldn¡¯t predict her master¡¯s thoughts. ¡®It was exactly how his personality was that hid him till the end.¡¯ Even though that man was being bullied, he did not rebel, and when he was cursed, he accepted it as it was. ¡°Just like that¡­¡± The man hid himself thoroughly.

What does he look like? How will he react to me? ¡°This way.¡± Alice guided me to the class I was going to attend in the future. Class A-2. It was already crowded with students. I glanced inside. There were students gathering in a corner and flirting, students lying down at their desks and sleeping, and students making loud noises. There wasn¡¯t any difference from the scenery of any other school on Earth. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite.

I went around a total of 12 classes. As expected, class A facilities are the best in all aspects. As for class C, it was the opposite. Half of the Class A are aristocratic children, Class B are mostly commoners, but with good grades, and the Class C are the commoners with poor grades.

They are the real power here¡­¡± I looked down at Alice who was introducing to me the hierarchy of the school. All the practical information, which I could find out if I took the time, was gathered by her in less than an hour. Having learned so much information in such a short time, she must have some formidable abilities. ¡°¡­?¡± She was confused as she felt my gaze. I shook my hand, saying it was nothing. I turned my eyes away from her and looked at those groups of people again. They are all made up of nobles. It was clear that they reign like kings here, where the majority of the students are commoners. Although they were children of aristocrats who had no powers, even the teachers of the academy would not be able to hastily touch them because of their statuses. That¡¯s how Noble¡¯s status are highly regarded in this world. No matter how short of power they have, they could still act like the son of a minister or the son of a chaebol (rich family in Korean) like in modern times, possessing power from the moment they were born. ¡°I feel like I would be enjoying my time here.¡± The moment I appeared, the son of the count, the hierarchy of the academy would be swept away. I was curious about what would be their reaction, if they knew I am the Count¡¯s son and when I revealed that I am Raymond. Rumors of the previous Raymond have spread quite far. An incompetent jerk. It would take more time for rumors to circulate about what happened at the banquet, so I presume that most of the people here will know me as some incompetent son of the count.

Chapter 26 Sorry for no update for 2 months, it is not procrastination this time. I had some problems in life that I needed to care of. This is the first chapter of the paid chapters. *** Laughter filled the training ground. Those passing by, ran away after hearing those laughs, and the bird sitting on a nearby branch flew farther away. ¡°Bastard!¡± ¡°Hey, don¡¯t overdo it. He might die, hahaha.¡± Voices could be heard between giggling and laughter. Mahol tried hard to contain his anger. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at those who touched his body. He endured it all, he needed to endure all of it It didn¡¯t hurt much, perhaps, because he had been in this pain for too long. He felt that the world was unfair for making him go through this kind of situation. One day, this group of people came to him for no reason and began to bully him. At first, they only bothered him with words, but the harassment got worse, and now they started beating him openly. ¡°Hey, there¡¯s someone there.¡± ¡°What? Hey, hey.¡± Mahol couldn¡¯t even hope for someone¡¯s help. Those who bullied him were those who couldn¡¯t be touched by teachers. They reign as kings as they are the only aristocrats among the commoners in the academy. No one would want to help a commoner with no power like him. No one has given him a helping hand for these past three years, and it would still be the same in the future. He would just grit his teeth by himself and vowed to pay it back later. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen him before. Did he just transfer?¡± An unexpected event occurred for the first time in Mahol¡¯s academic life. Someone approached him. Mahol tried to see his face, but it was hidden by the bullies. All he saw were 2 pairs of legs of a man and a woman. One of the bullies approached the person who just arrived. The bully must have been annoyed to have been ignored, for it was the first time someone went against their words so far. ¡®He¡¯s probably the same.¡¯ So did the others. At first, he come to see himself (Mahol) being bullied, and then went away like he didn¡¯t see anything. That¡¯s how it has been. And it would be the same for that man too. However, it didn¡¯t take long for this idea to change. Mahol heard the sound of joints twisting. The bully collapsed screaming. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Only then did Mahol realize that this was an entirely different situation than before. The bullies faltered and stepped back. As the light of the sun illuminated the man¡¯s back, he asked Mahol. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Mahol looked at the face of his savior. It was the first time that someone looked at him with such a worried look. ¡°I think these guys are bothering you¡­ Can I help you? I¡¯ll take care of them if you want.¡± A stranger, which Mahol had never seen before, brought up the word ¡°help¡± to him. ¡®Is he really trying to help, or is there any purpose behind it?¡¯ Mahol was tired of thinking about anything. All he knew was his despair for that help. So Mahol nodded. A woman, who was with his ¡®savior¡¯, approached and helped him. Mahol looked at his back. ¡®What if he will get bullied by them like me?¡¯ ¡®Can he really help me?¡¯ Mahol had all kinds of thoughts. Although, he agreed to be helped. Mahol didn¡¯t know why he was trying to help him, can he really help him (Mahol)? ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± The woman who was with his ¡®savior¡¯ opened her mouth. ¡®Did she read my thoughts?¡¯ Mahol showed a soft smile, trying to say that he was okay. ¡°The young master is a man who keeps his words.¡± Mahol felt relaxed by her words. Strong faith. In order to have this belief, that woman must have seen it countless times. ¡°You acted as if you were going to rush in.¡± His savior spoke. And Mahol felt the air getting heavier. Something started weighing down mercilessly as if there was a stone on top of the body. After a while, it disappeared. No, it only disappeared for him and the woman. ¡°Gasp!¡± Each of the bullies in front of his savior was suffering. They were either holding their neck or chest. Mahol noticed that his savior only emitted his aura towards the bullies. ¡°Is this possible?¡± Was that possible? Was it possible to emit and control Aura at will? At least none of the people he met could do that. Maybe, those who exude this heavy Aura were frequent in the world of Nobility. That¡¯s why doubts arose in Mahol¡¯s heart. He didn¡¯t know why his savior came to help him, but by carefully looking at his savior he could tell that he was a person nobler than his bullies. Luxurious clothes, expensive jewels as decorations on top of them. He even got a maid with a luxurious appearance. This was only possible if he were from the higher nobles. Mahol was certain that he was grateful to his savior. Thanks to him, he was able to avoid getting heavy hits before class began. However, it was strange for a nobleman to confront a fellow nobleman just for a commoner. Thinking of the weird taste of the nobles, Mahol started to get headaches. *** Read at Krnvl. xyz *** Watching them run away, Raymond turned around and looked at Mahol. Mahol also looked at Raymond with eyes full of complicated feelings. Mahol might be doubting why Raymond had helped him. His conflicting feelings of gratitude for helping him were revealed on his face. ¡°Let¡¯s go get you some treatment.¡± His body was full of wounds, so it might become hard for him if they were left untreated. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks There was a clinic inside the Academy. If Mahol went there, his wounds could be treated immediately. However his face hardened and shook his head fast. Alice looked at him blankly. Holding his left arm, Mahol bowed his head. ¡°Thank you for your help. I won¡¯t forget this grace.¡± And he limped out of the training ground. Raymond was dazed for a moment by his appearance. Mahol¡¯s face hardened when Raymond said he would take him to the treatment room. That means something happened inside the treatment room. ¡®First of all, I¡¯ll have to be satisfied with this alone.¡¯ He can find out about what happened separately on another day. Raymond was quite satisfied that he made a good impression with him today. ¡°Where he lives and how he lives here¡­ Know everything about him.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alice bowed her head. A day has passed. After meeting Mahol, Raymond returned to his accommodation and slept right away. When bd woke up at the time he usually worked out, Alice was already waiting at the door. Since there was a long way to go before the class begins, je headed to the walking course he saw yesterday. A garden beautifully decorated with flowers and various kinds of trees. If they go straight that way, they will find a vacant lot. A suitable place to exercise moderately. ¡°What information did you get about him?¡± ¡°His family is¡­¡± Walking side by side with Alice, Raymond listed the information she had found out. The first was that Mahol¡¯s family was composed only his younger brother and him. His parents died when he was a child, and Mahol is currently taking care of his younger brother as the head of the household. This information was already written on the Novel. ¡°But where they live is not good.¡± Second, she talked about the accommodation where he lived in. When she said that they live in an environment that seems to not be human, Raymond furrowed his eyebrows slightly. Just by listening to her explanation, he was sure it was a place he would never want to set foot on. ¡°His brother was initially very healthy, but now he has a disease¡­.¡± About the younger brother. It is said that he got sick because he was unable to adapt to the environment where they lived due to his weak immune system. No, to be honest, if they live in such a place, no matter how good their immunity is, they will inevitably get sick. ¡°¡­That¡¯s it. I think I need more time to find more details.¡± ¡°Okay, good job.¡± It¡¯s great that she was able to find anout those details right away. Others won¡¯t be able to bring that much information in less than half a day. Especially if it was a case like Mahol, it¡¯ll be even harder. Because the people around him won¡¯t even try to talk because they are wary of the bullies. Knowing her hard work, he had no intention or reason to blame her for not finding all his information immediately. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± *** Class A-2. Standing in front of Raymond was man with a muscular body and said. ¡°From now on, you¡¯re a student and I¡¯m a teacher, so I won¡¯t respect you.¡± Raymond smiled and nodded to him. It seems that it was difficult to treat him recklessly, the son of the Count. ¡°Okay.¡± The teacher sighed with relief, opened the door of the classroom, and went inside. There were a lot of noise. This is exactly what a class room looks like. As several students gathered and chatted loudly, it created a chaotic atmosphere. ¡°Quiet! Everyone, sit down on your proper sit!¡± When the teacher shouted loudly and hit the desk with a book, the students went to their own seats and sat down. That all looked at Raymond curiously when he came inside with the teacher. And among them, there were some bullies he saw yesterday. ¡°Huh? That¡¯s him.¡± ¡°Oh, my. Why did he come to my class?¡± The teacher said quiet, but there were still some students chattering with each other. When Raymond stared at them, theu closed their mouth and tried to turn their head and avoid his gaze. ¡°There would be a new classmatemy on class today. Let¡¯s all welcome him.¡± Students applauded the teacher¡¯s words. ¡°He will no introduce myself, so everyone listen quietly.¡± Then the teacher looks at Raymond. It was a signal to introduce himself. Raymond cleared his head and thought of what to say. Hiding doesn¡¯t mean hiding the identity, and Raymond decided to reveal himself. ¡°I¡¯m Raymond Millennium. I look forward to your kind cooperation.¡± He said it short and concisely. ¡°Raymond Millennium? The Count¡¯s Jerk Son?¡± ¡°Hey, hey, be quiet. He¡¯ll hear it if you do that.¡± Raymond already heard it all. The reaction was more intense than he thought. The students whispered looking at Raymond with mysterious eyes, and some looked at him with contempt. ¡°This is normal.¡±¡¯ He sighed a little. He didn¡¯t know Raymond¡¯s atrocities spread all the way here. Maybe it¡¯s a given. Only the nobles knew about what happened inside the banquet, and those who were there did not attend the academy. So the rumor would have not come this far. That means that their perception of me is¡ªAn incompetent jerk. An incompetent Son of a Count, who was born as a child of Master Wizard but could not use magic at all. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only And above all, it would be strange that the child of a Master Wizard entered the swordsmanship department. *** I¡¯m saving up money to buy the raws. I might start advanced chapters after 5 more chapters. Chapter 27 The first class Raymond took after entering the academy was very confusing. The bullies were playing on their own in the corner, and some of the students were dozing off or doing something else. Yes, this was a common classroom even in his original world. It was a scene he was very familiar with. However, the problem was the reaction of the teacher. The teacher acted as if it didn¡¯t matter whether the students were being noisy or sleeping. It seems like he was already accustomed to it, the teacher only said what he had to say and did not stop the students doing their own things. Raymond realized the reason why. ¡®This was a world where nobles existed.¡¯ The teacher doesn¡¯t have power in front of nobles. Although there were few commoners, the class A-2 was mostly for aristocrats. Among them, there were sons of a baron or viscount. The very few commoners were either the son of commoner working for the nobles or the son of a rich merchant. On the other hand, the teacher was a commoner with decent abilities. No matter how famous the teacher is, he or she cannot treat the aristocracy recklessly as long as he or she is a commoner. Rather, what he is doing now by ignoring the students, he wouldn¡¯t be suspected if anything happened. That¡¯s why they leave it like that. To be honest, it will take a lot of courage for a teacher to speak informally to the son of a noble. Ring! Ring! Ring! The bells started ringing throughout the school. The teacher, who was conducting the class amid countless disturbances, said: ¡°¡­Class dismissed.¡± The class is over. Raymond was a little disappointed with that. The class this time was about what happened on the continent and what kind of person the Emperor was. They were all contents that Raymond hadn¡¯t read in the original novel. It would have been better if it weren¡¯t for the noisy bullies. ¡°It¡¯s him, isn¡¯t?¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right.¡± After class, an annoying fly came. ¡°This is getting crazy.¡± This is because everyone¡¯s eyes were on Raymond as soon as the class was over. ¡°You¡¯re the one I know, right? The incompetent jerk.¡± ¡°Why are you here? Leaving that good family alone.¡± Alice is currently away beside Raymond to perform what he ordered. Raymond didn¡¯t want to talk to anyone, and for him, who was the seed of interest, it was a pain to sit still and feel the gaze. The gaze felt from all sides was quite burdensome. ¡°Really? Raymond?¡± ¡± That sucks, I can¡¯t believe that incompetent jerk is so handsome.¡± They might have been whispering to each other, but Raymond heard everything. ¡°This is driving me crazy.¡± The name Raymond Millennium showed a tremendous influence beyond imagination. However, it was in a bad way. As Raymond already felt at the banquet, no one looked at him in a good way. Who would like someone who is known to be an incompetent jerk? ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Raymond looked around. Those who made eye contact with him freaked out and turned their heads away from him immediately. The Raymond, who they knew, was a bad guy who would quarrel with everyone he make eye contact of. Raymond was strong only to the weak, and at least there was no one here who could confront him. So now, he needed to try not to stand out even more. ¡®The previous Raymond was strong for the weak.¡¯ The people here must have heard rumors and similar things often about him. For commoners, rumors of a noble was the truth. Furthermore, Raymond was of the same age as them. That¡¯s why they can¡¯t talk to him while showing curiosity. They were afraid he¡¯ll pick a fight with them like what rumors have said. Nevertheless, looking at him because of curiosity, cannot be hidden even in fear. But soon, even that will disappear soon. ¡°Wow. That¡¯s the end of them.¡± ¡°Right. The Count¡¯s son is here. What can they do with being fallen nobles?¡± If there¡¯s anything good Raymond brought was that the existing bullies were unable to rush at him. This was a place where son of fallen nobles and his servants reign like kings. But with Raymond here, that was bound to disappear. Unlike them, Raymond was a full fledge noble. Being the son of a count alone is tremendous, but he was also the son of a Master Wizard that even the continent recognizes. No matter how incompetent Raymond is, he remain untouchable. No one can take away his surname, Millennium, even if he was incompetent. However, they were even more wary of the idea that he could be in a team with the existing bullies. If he become a team with the bullies, the academy will be completely dominated by the bullies. ¡°Oh, hi.¡± A group of people came to Raymond while waiting for the next class. These are the same guys from yesterday. Trash guys who bullies others using their name. Looking at them, no one was a full fledge noble. Anyway, Raymond wasn¡¯t interested with them. He looked though the whole room, Mahol couldn¡¯t be seen anywhere. He might be in another class room. Even though they were humiliated yesterday, he was amazed at the people who approached him without a leader, so he stared at them. They flinched and shivered at Raymond gaze. They remembered the memory of being beaten by him yesterday. Nevertheless, they still approached Raymond with a smile. ¡°We are sorry yesterday.¡± They rubbed their hands and apologize. ¡°You should¡¯ve told us earlier.¡± They are asking if they misunderstood him because he didn¡¯t tell them. ¡°If we knew that you were the son of Count Millennium, we wouldn¡¯t have done that! Don¡¯t you think so?¡± ¡°Of course! Would you say we¡¯re crazy?¡± The other bullies agreed with him. Hehe, there was a hidden anger at the way they smiled and looked at him. If he weren¡¯t Raymond Millennium, wouldn¡¯t it mean that they would take revenge? Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°So what?¡± Of course, there was no way he would be saying good words. One of the people that he despise the most are those who are greedy of power and money. And they are included in that category. ¡°Are you angry? I really didn¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Is there anything you want? We¡¯ll listen to everything. Huh?¡± Their voices were not small. Their voice was loud enough that everyone in the classroom could hear them. Everyone was looking at them with contempt, but they didn¡¯t care about such eyes. Raymond doesn¡¯t have anything to say or want to say to them. ¡°Get lost.¡± Just one sentence. It was the first and last thing he said to them. They said other things, but Raymond already closed his eyes and ears. He thought about Mahol. How to embrace him, how to lure him in his team. Thinking about it, the noise slowly disappeared around him. *** Read the original at krnvl.xyz *** ¡°Everyone, gather at the training ground!¡± A voice was heard asking for student to come out while waiting for class. Unlike learning theory classes inside the classroom, outdoor classes were held this time outside. All the students of the swordsmanship department gathered, regardless of class, in a training ground wide enough to embrace the entire swordsmanship department. ¡°Do you want to try this? This¡­¡± The bullies clung next to Raymond, while heading to the training ground. They were trying to flatter him. ¡®They are annoying. They are really annoying.¡¯ Raymond was annoyed that useless people, who only knew how to lick others feet, bothered others and stuck together. ¡°Hey, I told you to lick it. Do you think it is funny?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t get hit enough.¡± Entering the training ground, Raymond once again felt a deep resentment. He saw a few bullies sticking next to Mahol and playing a game. Among them, Mahol crouched down without any rebellion as he did when he first saw him. ¡°These punks¡­¡± Raymond was really angry. What kind of person was he? Raymond was angry to see that the person he save yesterday was being played by such people. ¡®I think I warned them yesterday, but that wasn¡¯t enough.¡¯ Raymond shouldn¡¯t have defeated them with words, he should have made them suffer. ¡°Hey¡­¡± It was time to approach them, clenching his fist, he approached them. ¡°What are you doing there?¡± He then heard a loud voice. He is the teacher who introduced him to his classmates. Yeah, at least the teacher wouldn¡¯t stay still in front of blatant bullying. Raymond thought he might be different from the students who watched quietly because they were scared of the bullies. However, he was wrong. The teacher only glaced at them. That was all. He only looked at the bullies gathered and that was it. There was no admonition or disciplinary action. As if it was natural, he ignored the bullies harassing Mahol. ¡®How should I accept this?¡¯ ¡°He is really like a jerk.¡± Since the teacher was a commoner, he would have had no choice but to ignore them. If the teacher step in for no reason, he will just bring bad luck to himself. It¡¯s not that Raymond didn¡¯t know that, but he was more angry than what he imagined when he actually went through it. Raymond wanted to relieve this anger. At times like this, it¡¯s best for bullies to pick a fight. No matter how high ranking their family is, they can¡¯t think of picking a fight with him, the son of the count. ¡°As everyone knows, there is a new classmate who entered this school. Come forward, Raymond.¡± He went forward at the teacher¡¯s call. The teacher wanted to make him say hello to the students. After he said hello, he will go back. ¡°There is new classmates, so we can¡¯t miss out on letting him see your skills. You can duel with each other from now on, as there will be additional points on the test.¡± These words make the students excited. The teacher looked through the students and pointed to one student. ¡°You there. Come forward and point at the other person.¡± A man of a strong a physique to be a student stood in the Duel Ring. As the teacher said, he looks through the students once and called another student as his opponent. That¡¯s how the duel started. However, Raymond wasn¡¯t interested in the Duel. His attention was only directed at Mahol. In the meantime, a poor guy got hit so much that his whole body is bruised and swollen. ¡°Hey, bugs. Come out.¡± It¡¯s already the turn for the bullies. A bully pointed to Mahol. He said while holding a wooden sword. ¡°I¡¯ll teach you properly. Wow, you should be honored to have me here as your sparring partner.¡± ¡°Hahaha! That¡¯s right! Go up, bug!¡± ¡°What are you doing? Jones wants you to come up!¡± The bullies forced Mahol to stand up and go to the Duel Ring. The teacher just watches it still. ¡°I will go.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Raymond grabbed the shoulders of the bullies and pushed them to the side, taking the wooden sword from Mahol. The bullies looked at him and was embarrassed. He turned his back on him and stared at Jones. His face, was embarrassed as if he had not expected this situation, came into view. ¡®You punk! I¡¯m going to kill you.¡¯ Chapter 28 Trash. Trash. A bug, a failure¡­. Mahol was that kind of guy. An incompetent man who can¡¯t even rebel properly without knowing how to do anything. At first, it started at a simple word of a person, but soon it became something fun to the bullies. Bugs really looked like bugs, and beating the curled up guy seemed to be playing with toys. Jones, the son of a Noble, was the one who took the initiative to bully him the most. So the other student were scared to be involved if they were to talk to him. Even the teacher wouldn¡¯t even take the initiative to help him. ¡°Argh!¡± But that didn¡¯t last long. A man suddenly appeared. The son of Count Millennium. Something seemed to have gone wrong the moment, the man, rumored to be an incompetent jerk appeared. But that was okay. Most of the bully thought it would be over quickly if they just praised him and make him part of their group. ¡°Get lost.¡± However, that wasn¡¯t the case. Raymond was already pointing his blade to them from the beginning, to the point where they couldn¡¯t even talk to him. When Jones saw him closing his eyes and ears completely ignoring their words, he almost shook his fist at him in anger. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he was the Count¡¯s son, Raymond would have been rolling on the ground earlier. With that thought, he headed to the training ground. Jones and his friends were beating up the bug. His crime could let him die, but they decided to replace the punishment by becoming their toy. And what was his crime? For having been help out by Raymond. ¡®Come to think of it, this bug seems to have a younger brother.¡¯ ¡°You¡¯re here? What do you think?¡± ¡°No. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s going to work. That incompetent son of the count didn¡¯t even look up to us.¡± ¡°Really? Can¡¯t help it.¡± They decided to quit attracting the count¡¯s son to their side. However, they will not to disturb him. ¡°I need to see your skills¡­¡± The teacher¡¯s words continue. He smiled. Jones waited for this moment. Time to publicly crush others and build their reputation up. This is an event that will let him beat someone without any restrictions. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m jealous. You go first.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll solve it properly once.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jones went up to the Duel Ring. ¡°Who will you choose?¡± ¡®Who am I going to pick?¡¯ Isn¡¯t it already decided? He raised his finger and pointed to a crouching bug among his friends. ¡°Hey, come up.¡± The bug wriggled up. Then he staggered and grabbed a wooden sword and came up to the Duel Ring. Looking at him, Jones started imagining how to hit him. His own sandbag. ¡°Come out.¡± However, Raymond stepped forward again. He took the wooden sword from the bug and stood in front of him. ¡°I will face him.¡± Looking at the face where he can feel his anger. Strangely, Jones was shaking when he faced that face. However, he calmed himself by saying: ¡®He¡¯s an incompetent jerk.¡¯ After all, he is nothing but an incompetent jerk. Even if he showed that momentum, that¡¯s all. ¡°It¡¯s not a matter of my own decision. You should have the other person¡¯s consent.¡± The teacher looks back at Jones. A face that asks for opinion. Jones looked over Raymond once and nodded. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± There was no reason to refuse. According to rumors, he doesn¡¯t seem to be powerful. And above all, Raymond was in a bad mood because he seemed to have ignored him so he may make mistakes. ¡®I¡¯ll crush that arrogant face of yours.¡¯ No matter how powerful the Count is, he will not take action on what happened in the Duel Ring. When else will there be an opportunity to legally restrain the son of the count? ¡°I think it¡¯s your first time to hold a sword do you want to attack first?¡± Still, he decided to give him a chance first. ¡°Oh, really? Thank you.¡± A frosty smile When he became anxious about the smile, Raymond had already disappeared from sight. *** Read the original translations at krnvl.xyz *** Raymond looked at him while tapping his toes with a wooden sword. He was not sure if this Jones was well trained in the field of Swordsmanship. He has a strong physique. His posture with the wooden sword was also quite well established. But that was all. He just have a strong physique, however, he was full of loopholes. How can he look so confident with his poor skills? ¡°I think it¡¯s your first time to hold a sword do you want to attack first?¡± Jones provoked him, thinking that it was still his first time with swordsmanship. Even though Jones told him to come in first, he was confident that he can win no matter what he did. His attitude was even more irritating to Raymond. ¡°Oh, Really? Thank you.¡± This opportunity was a waste to knock it down right away. Because he can quickly defeat him. Let¡¯s make it simple. Raymond clung close and swung the wooden sword. ¡°Ugh!¡± Jones hurriedly picked up his own wooden sword and blocked it. Yeah, he have to block this much. Raymond was swinging with a lot of strength. Swush! Raymond turned to the side of the man, who was struggling to block, and swung a wooden sword. Swush! ¡°Gasp!¡± Jones grabbed his side in pain and look up. ¡°You can¡¯t faint that early.¡± Raymond smacked his face. Crunch. His nose bone was definitely cracked. Jones stepped away from Raymond, he stumbled and grabbed his face. With his action, Jones already let go of his wooden sword. ¡°You can¡¯t let go of the wooden sword. This is a duel.¡± Raymond hit the hand of the man holding his nose with the wooden sword. ¡°Argh!¡± He heard the sound of a broken finger bone. Looking sideways, the teacher only looked at the two of them with a serious face and did not stop him. ¡°I told you that it isn¡¯t good to let go the wooden sword.¡± Raymond picked up the wooden sword that Jones dropped and by using the wide part of the wooden sword, he slapped it at him. Pak! Pak! The bones of both of hands were broken in order to protect his face, so they were not in a state where they could hold a wooden sword. ¡°This isn¡¯t enough.¡± There are still many people left to deal with. Raymond lifted the wooden sword at an angle and slapped him on the neck. Finally letting him faint. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks He looked around, leaving the fallen man behind with many spectator gasping. Everyone looked surprised by the different results than they expected. Their reactions was the same at the banquet. They were surprised that Raymond, an incompetent Jerk, knocked down someone by swordsmanship, not magic. Some were surprised by what happened. Some laughed at the bully who lost to the incompetent Jerk. No one liked Jones, who liked to show off his skills and looked down on others. ¡°Hey, you.¡± Raymond kicked the man who was lying down in Duel Ring and pushed him out. After that he looked over the bullies and pointed at someone. It was the one who was sitting on a chair. Raymond pointed to the person, wondering if it was Johnson or Jones. It seems like he didn¡¯t expect Raymond to win. ¡°Come on up.¡± And he wouldn¡¯t have known Raymond will point to him next. ¡°Ha!¡± He snorted. Raymond looked bullies next to him. ¡°No, all of you come up.¡± ¡°What? You crazy¡­!¡± ¡°Was he crazy about wanting to die?¡± The bullies were angry at his provocation. How can they stay still when Raymond look down on them in front of everyone? ¡°Ha, really¡­¡± They couldn¡¯t think of hastily coming up to the Duel Ring, shaking. The bullies were worried about what if would happen to them if they go up. Raymond could see their hesitation. So be was willing to provoke them more to break their worry. ¡°Why? Are you sleepy? I guess I am scary. I understand.¡± ¡°What a son¡­!¡± ¡°Come up.¡± Raymond stared at the person who tried to swear at him. They were people who run wild with the power of Jones on their backs. Raymond need to step on them one by one to relieve this dirty feeling. ¡°Especially you there¡­¡± Next, Raymond looked at the teacher. ¡°Oh¡­ It¡¯s okay. This happens often.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± The teacher closed his mouth. Then he looked around and nodded. ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t do if the other person agrees.¡± Fortunately, the teacher didn¡¯t took side with anyone. The teacher told them that it was possible. If the bullies say they won¡¯t go there, they will be seen as scared and wanted to run away. Can they accept that? No. If they run away here, the power of the bullies will disappear, so how can they reject it? ¡°Okay. If that¡¯s what you want, we¡¯ll do it.¡± ¡°Oh, thank you for that.¡± The bullies came up to Duel Ring with wooden swords. The teacher came down from Duel Ring and watched with his arms folded. Raymond turned his head to the bullies and said. ¡°Isn¡¯t it boring if we just beat each other up?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we make a bet? If you win, I¡¯ll do what you want. Whether it¡¯s money or people.¡± What Raymond said made them excited. Even the students watching with the teacher were surprised. Raymond was just throwing a bait at them. ¡°Since you said anything, what if I ask for something impossible ?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t do.¡± ¡°What should we do when we lose?¡± They bit the bait. In the first place, Raymond didn¡¯t want to just beat them up. He will feel better only when they wouldn¡¯t dare to raise their heads at the academy. ¡°It¡¯s simple. You¡¯ll crawl around the academy today and become an animal. Well, you look like a wild boar, so that would be perfect.¡± They hesitated at what Raymond said. Although they were in a group, they are thinking about what if they will lose. Raymond provoked them again. ¡°Can¡¯t do it? If you can¡¯t, don¡¯t do it. Am I that scary?¡± Raymond said while smirking. Then they burst into anger. ¡°We do. We won¡¯t say we lost because we were scared.¡± ¡°In other words, it¡¯s a deal.¡± All right, then. Raymond smiled brightly at them. ¡°Why accept it?!¡± Jones shouted at them. ¡°There¡¯s only one person anyway. He may have won by fluke, but we¡¯re different.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Sleep now. If you can¡¯t do it, get out.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not! I¡¯ll do it. I can do it!¡± They held up the wooden swords. A total of five people. It¡¯s neither a lot nor a small number. Raymond looked around, everyone thought he would lose. He was an incompetent Jerk and they were experienced on sword. Above all, it was impossible for one person to beat five people in their common sense. ¡°Ha!¡± They came running towards Raymond. They want to defeat him as soon as possible. He looked at the attack quietly. Slow. It was so slow that Raymond yawned. Rather, it was not a threat to the extent then dealing with Orc. Raymond dodge and hit their head. He grabbed the shoulder of the fallen man screaming and pushed his aside. ¡°Argh!¡± The bully, who had been making a surprise attack, collided with the pushed man and fell down. Crunch. He swung a wooden sword and knocked them out the same way as Jones. ¡°Die!¡± He reached out to the person running while screaming. The wooden sword swung in the air, and Raymond hand grabbed the man¡¯s head and stamped it on the ground. ¡°What, what?¡± The other two hesitated in embarrassment. Raymond ran to them and swung the wooden sword from bottom to top because it was a waste of time to wait. There was a sound of a bone breaking, and they fell down like broken doll. The last one. Jones looked at him with trembling eyes. Raymond slowly approached him and swung the wooden sword. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Thighs, sides, and forehead. Raymond stabbed him fast. If it was a true sword, the skull would have penetrated as it was. He looked away from the falling man and looked at the Mahol. Raymond showed him a twinkling smile as Mahol stared at him blankly. Chapter 29 Rachel, the teacher in charge of the Swordsmanship department, frowned while looking at scene of students full of wounds again today. Whether it was an outdoor class or an indoor class, she would always see students who are beaten up. ¡°If it was a commoner, I wouldn¡¯t let it go.¡±¡¯ The academy had its own power structure. Except for the principal, who does not appear unless it is a big deal, the academy follows the order of the Vice Principal. He enjoys everything he can enjoy while the principal was absent. Teachers moved by the vice-principal¡¯s words, and even the nobles¡¯ children could not move carelessly without the permission of the Vice-Principal. As the nobles entered the school, the Vice-Principal took half of the donations they paid. A Sneaky Snake. This was the nickname of the vice-principal among the teachers. The Vice Principal seemed to have boiled dozens or hundreds of snakes. He himself became a snake because he couldn¡¯t boil himself and eat it. He live by grilling teachers and aristocrats with money. And those who could not be solved by money are just let go of. Even the Vice Principal can¡¯t touch students carelessly. If something goes wrong and catches the Principal ¡®s eye, the academy will be overturned within just a day. Maybe the Vice-Principal would be demoted to a tea her or worse, fired. Even though he knew that, the Vice Principal called in all the teachers and gave him one order. Ignore everything that happened happen to Mahol. It was a simple but scary command. Something that can ruin a person¡¯s life. However, all teachers nodded that they would. He just told them to ignore them. So far, she have watched all the tyranny of the Vice Principal. The addition of one more student did not change anything. It¡¯s just that she felt a little guilty. However, she was just doing what they were told to do, that she did not have to take responsibility. There was no need to bother the plant and suffer damage. ¡°Poor guy.¡± After that, Mahol and his younger brother¡¯s accommodation were moved, and so-called bullies began to bully Mahol. It was getting too much, but no one came forward. She felt sorry for him. Every day will be like hell for him ¡°Pathetic guy.¡± However, on the one hand, his appearance was pathetic. Without proper rebellion, Mahol, who was just bullied, became pathetic. If he had rebelled at least once, he wouldn¡¯t have been bullied like that. After a long time, there was a new student enrolled in the academy. It is neither a commoner nor a child of a fallen Noble. It was the son of the count. It was not just such a count, but the son of Count Millennium, who was considered a Master Wizard. However, he was also a student with bad rumors. An incompetent jerk. He was notorious because of the rumor. Rumors says that he will find trouble with other for no reason. Because of that behavior, he was called an incompetent jerk. When the Swordsmanship class gathered to measure their skills, Mahol was undoubtedly bullied by bullies. And one of the bullies pointed him out as the opponent. ¡°Tsk.¡± She didn¡¯t want to see the weak who couldn¡¯t swing the sword properly beaten. However, it could not be prevented because there was an order from the vice-principal. An unexpected event occurred when Mahol tried to come up to Duel Ring using a wooden sword as a support. ¡°I¡¯ll replace you.¡± The incompetent jerk came out. He frowned as if he didn¡¯t like this situation and took a wooden sword from Mahol. ¡°If the other person agrees¡­¡± She was speechless while talking. When the bully chose Mahol, she didn¡¯t say anything, but now he needs permission. Fortunately or unfortunately, the bullies provoked Raymond as if it would be difficult. And the result was disastrous. Both the nose and finger bones were broken. That alone is a tremendous result, but Raymond did not stop and provoked the entire gang. Even hearing it from the side flinching and provoking enough to shake their body. The bullies fell for it, and he allowed it again this time. ¡°Argh!¡± ¡°What? What?¡± ¡°It hurts!¡± The bullies were beaten till they were devastated. They fainted without properly wielding a wooden sword. ¡®Maybe this is¡­.¡¯ The teacher felt her heart beat as Raymond played with the bullies alone. The son of a count who even the vice-principal carelessly cannot treat carelessly. A jerk who hates bullies. Wouldn¡¯t a storm come to the academy because of his appearance? *** Read the original translations at krnvl.xyz *** Rumors of Raymond have been spread all around the academy. An incompetent jerk. A mean jerk who is strong against the weak and weak against the strong. Mahol heard rumors about him, so he had no choice but to suspect Raymond¡¯s help. All he could think was about why such a jerk helped him or was he aiming for his younger brother. However, there was no answer. ¡®I¡¯m not Raymond, and how can I know about what he is thinking?¡¯ Mahol just hoped that what would happen next would not affect him. It was already hard enough to go through what he is experiencing now. ¡°Hey, bugs. Did you like it? Were you happy that someone else helped you?¡± ¡°You must be happy. He¡¯s taking your side.¡± He had to go through a bigger ordeal because he received help once. He wanted to fight back and rest comfortably over everything. But he had to endure it because he had a younger brother who was his everything. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Come to think of it, you have a younger brother, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s dirty, but I think it¡¯s okay.¡± Mahol mind went blank. They put his younger brother in their mouths. Those who had never cared about his younger brother, are now interested in him. No. He shouldn¡¯t let them pay attention to his younger brother. That¡¯s why he stuck to him and begged him not to touch his younger brother. If his younger brother is bullied by them, he didn¡¯t know what would he do. ¡°Huh? That guy.¡± At their words, Mahol realized that Raymond had stepped inside the training ground. ¡°You are going to measure your skills.¡± Fortunately, the teacher came even before anything happened. The teacher was still watching even though he saw the tyranny of the bullies, but the bullies did not stop. ¡°Hey, bugs. Come up.¡± One of them pointed to Mahol. He was already expecting it. Because they will always point at him everytime there was a sparring session. Mahol grabbed a wooden sword and headed to Duel Ring using it as a cane. ¡°Let me.¡± Someone grabbed him by the shoulder like that. He took away the wooden sword. ¡°Why¡­¡± Mahol wanted to shout, ¡°What the hell is wrong with you?¡± With help, the bullies would bother him more, and even his younger brother would suffer. He wanted to tell him that he didn¡¯t need any help. But he couldn¡¯t do that. The wooden sword held by the bully was scary. He remembered being beaten up by bullies as an excuse. On the one hand, he want to get help. He knew he would be more bullied if he got help, but he wanted someone to help him. ¡°Hey, bugs, what are you doing?¡± Even before his thoughts were over, a bully beckoned toward Mahol. Mahol replied, ¡°Be a chair.¡± Crawled, and bent over. Too heavy. He felt suffocated The bullies were giggling and laughing at what was so good. But their laughter didn¡¯t last long. ¡°Crazy!¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on.¡± Their shocking voices. Above all, Raymond called all of them at the Duel Ring. All of them headed to the Duel Ring and then Mahol was able to stretch his back. He was shocked by what happened in the Duel Ring. Raymond avoided the attacks with soft movements and overpowered the enemy. He looked at the wooden sword of Raymond. When the bullies fell one by one and even Jones collapsed, Mahol felt a strange sense of excitement swirling around him. ¡°Wow! Crazy!¡± ¡°What swordsmanship is that? So cool!¡± Students around him shouted. They shout wildly at appearance of Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship. In their cries, only Mahol saw the true side of Raymond¡¯s swordsmanship. ¡°Swordsmanship only for killing.¡± Swordsmanship made to eliminate unnecessary movements and kill enemies only with necessary movements. He didn¡¯t even see such swordsmanship from teachers. A sword technique that is more practical and powerful than any other sword technique you have seen. ¡®I want it. I want to make it mine. Wouldn¡¯t I be able to fight against the bullies if I could perform that sword technique?¡¯ But soon he shook his head to shake off his thoughts. That swordsmanship is not just a technique that can be imitated just by looking at it. This was a swordsmanship that can only be achieved after swing the sword after hundreds or tens of millions of times. ¡°It¡¯s refreshing.¡± But he felt good. Seeing the bullies rolling on the ground, he felt like the lump blocking his heart was lifted. Too cool. ¡°I¡¯m going to finish my class.¡± After all the classes, Mahol ran straight to his accomodation. He want to tell his sister what he saw. He can handle the sadness alone, but he wanted to enjoy the joy together. ¡°Laina!¡± ¡°¡­Brother.. I¡¯m here¡­¡± A person who was lying in a clean bed in a garbage dump-like accommodation, greeted Mahol. He ran to his younger sister who was trying to get up somehow and slowly raised his upper body. ¡°You look so happy.¡± ¡°Yeah. Do you know what happened today?¡± Mahol told her what happened today. When Raymond appeared and knocked down the bullies, the younger sister laughed together, and at the end, her face darkened. When Mahol asked why, she was worried that he might be bullied more severely. Mahol smiled at her. He was worried too. But that was for the future. Now, he just want to enjoy the joy of the present. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m hungry. ¡°Oh? Oh, yeah. Okay. We talked too much.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mahol told Laina and got up in a hurry and went outside. He tried to head to the food storage that I had made to avoid the eyes of the bullies. ¡°Mahol!¡± He went stiff. Someone saw him, he looked back and there was Raymond waving at him. Chapter 30 As soon as the class was over, Raymond could see Mahol leaving quietly without anyone else knowing. Mahol was so careful that Raymond almost missed his movement, even though he was completely focused on him. Mahol didn¡¯t do anything else. He seemed to be just moving normally, but he looked blurry. Raymond can¡¯t see him even though he was so focused, but if Mahol were to attack him without knowing¡­. It was terrible just imagining it. ¡°But where is he going?¡±¡¯ Seeing that he left as soon as class is over, it seems to be an important place to go in a hurry. ¡°Young master.¡± As soon as he was thinking about following, Alice returned. It was her who found out about Mahol. She talked to him. ¡°Will you follow him?¡± Raymond nodded at her question. He didn¡¯t want to drag time on recruiting talented people. Following Mahol, the place they arrived was a garbage dump full of dirt and all kinds of miscellaneous waste. Mahol entered a dirty place. ¡°Why is he going in there?¡± At his words, Alice replied. ¡°That¡¯s his accommodation.¡± ¡°What?¡± Frowned. Alice didn¡¯t need to lie to Raymond, and she doesn¡¯t tell inaccurate details either. That means Mahol really live there. ¡°Was it even possible to live there?¡± Even homeless people didn¡¯t live there. That was too much. It was a place where people could not live and should not live either way. It was wrong for people to live in a garbage dump itself. In front of the garbage dump, he stayed still at the place where the Mahol entered. ¡°This is the garbage dump, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Raymond should have noticed by looking at the dirty appearance of his face and clothes. If he knew then, he wouldn¡¯t have finished it just by knocking out the bullies. ¡°No matter how commoners are treated, proper accommodation would have been given.¡± ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± When Alice tried to speak, Mahol came out of it. Raymond called him out out of joy and of wanting to get him out of here as soon as possible. ¡°Mahol!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mahol¡¯s eyes were wide open when he saw Raymond. His face was full of strange feelings and wanted to ask what was he doing here. Before Raymond approached him, he asked Alice to buy some tea and snacks to drink. And his action was an excellent choice. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. This is all I have to give you.¡± In a cracked teacup full of dirt, there was water. When he looked inside, it smelled worse. To the point where he felt unbelievable that Mahol was still not sick. Everything inside was so dirty that he couldn¡¯t sit on the floor hastily. Everything was so disgusting that he didn¡¯t even want eat delicious food here. There was a bed was placed in a very small space, and a girl was lying on the bed. ¡®So it was actually a younger sister.¡¯ The novel never mentioned about the gender of Mahol¡¯s younger siblings. Raymond just assumed it was a younger brother. ¡°Since when did you start living here?¡± ¡°Three, three years¡­¡± Mahol shrank a lot and flinched every time he spoke. Three years¡­ If someone were to stay here for that amount of time, they will inevitably get sick. ¡°Have you ever asked teachers to move your accomodation?¡± ¡°I did¡­ But I can¡¯t. I can¡¯t do that according to the school rules¡­.¡± Raymond can¡¯t help but sigh. Mahol reacted greatly to each of his actions, and his sister looked up at him with eyes full of fear. ¡°Let¡¯s move you out first.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mahol didn¡¯t understand what he was saying. Raymond didn¡¯t want to be here for another second. He was barely holding back the nausea he was feeling. Mahol hesitated. Raymond could see him thinking about whether Mahol should follow him. ¡°It¡¯s the not time to think about it. It¡¯s better to get out of here for your sister.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± Mahol immediately answered to the question at the mention of his younger sister. He showed his willingness to do anything for his younger sister. He passed by him and approached Mahol¡¯s sister. She looks up at to him. When was the last time she washed up? Her face was dirty and smelled bad. However, it was not unbearable. At least it was better than the smell of the dump. ¡°Excuse me for a moment.¡± Raymond reached out and held her in his arms. ¡°¡­.¡± She looked at him with a surprised face, having no power to scream. ¡°Uh¡­Uh¡­¡± Mahol looks at him with an astonished face. Then he nodded and asked him to come out to the side. ¡°Follow me.¡± ¡°Uh¡­Uh¡­¡± When they left the garbage dump, they ran into Alice, together with the refreshments. She quickly came out, looked at Mahol¡¯s sister in his arms, Mahol¡¯s face, and then nodded slightly. ¡°I¡¯ll guide you.¡± Alice came forward, and they followed her. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s that?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°He look like Raymond. And who is that person in his arms?¡± The surrounding eyes were focused on them. Mahol shrank further, and his sister tried to cover her face with her hands. However, she couldn¡¯t raise her hand properly due to lack of strength. ¡°Wow¡­¡± They arrived in front of the biggest private accommodation in the academy. Mahol and his sister looked around Raymond¡¯s accommodation blankly. He took her to the bathroom and told Alice: ¡°Wash her clean, put her on new clothes and throw these away.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± When I came out of the bathroom, Mahol was still staring at him blankly. ¡°What?¡± ¡°No¡­ That¡­¡± Mahol couldn¡¯t even speak properly and hesitated. Raymond sighed softly at his timid behavior. ¡°First of all, I¡¯m sorry for doing this without saying a word¡­ It would be good for your sister if she wasn¡¯t washed clean.¡± ¡°Yeah¡­¡± ¡°After your sister comes out, you should wash up too.¡± ¡°Yeah¡­¡± He nodded his head. ¡®Will he still nod at what will I say next?¡¯ ¡°And stay here from now on.¡± ¡°¡­Huh?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want to stay in the garbage either. I¡¯m sorry to call your accommodation a garbage dump. Anyway, if you stay in such a place, it will be bad for you. That place can make people even though they are healthy. Alice will tell you where you will stay. I¡¯ll tell the Vice Principal, so don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Okay?¡± Mahol bit his lips. His clenched fist trembled. ¡°Why are you doing this to me? There¡¯s nothing to gain from me. There¡¯s nothing I can do for you.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Raymond looked down at him. For him, it is normal to not to understand his behavior. Because what Mahol knew about him was an incompetent jerk with no talent and no power. He must have a headache on how to accept Raymond¡¯s actions to do this to himself. Unlike him who lives in a garbage dump, he was the son of a count. ¡°Why are you curious about that? If you help me, I will just say thank you and accept it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°And if you really want to hear the reason, I think it¡¯s because I want to.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°If this is not enough¡­ Yeah, you can think of me as a crazy man.¡± Mahol shut his mouth. He looked up at me with a confused face. Then Raymond shrugged. *** Read the original translations at krnvl.xyz *** Raymond headed to the Vice Principal ¡®s office with Alice. It had been a long time since he threw away clothes stained with dirt while hugging Mahol¡¯s younger sister, and he had already taken a refreshing shower. By now, Mahol and his younger sister are getting accustomed to the new accomodation. If Raymond wanted to move Mahol and his younger sister¡¯s accommodation, he still needed the permission from the Vice Principal. They used the school rules when Mahol asked to move their accommodation, so it was clear that they would not let Mahol moved out from his previous accommodation without saying anything. Therefore, it was better to move first before being caught. ¡°You didn¡¯t go anywhere else, did you?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± And above all, he should look into the affairs of Vice Principal right now. ¡°So, the reason why Mahol lives in the garbage dump is because of the Vice-Principal, right?¡± ¡°Yes. And he even ordered other teachers to ignore everything that happened to him.¡± Now he knew why the bullies were able to bully Mahol freely and why the teachers ignored him even though they saw him being bullied. ¡°The Vice Principal¡­¡± Since it was an order from the vice-principal, the teachers would have no choice but to follow the order. ¡°It is said that the Vice Principal is holding the teachers weaknesses. If there was no weaknesses, the Vice Principal will just make one to control them.¡± Raymond doubt that it was just about weakness. The moment the teachers disobeyed his order, their personal life will be ruined. Even if the Vice Principal was playing dirty, they have no choice but to follow him. ¡°And he told the highest-ranking students to bully him.¡± Yes, this was the biggest problem. The fact that the Vice Principal was behind his bullying. In addition, the reason for doing so was funny. ¡°It seems like the Vice Principal came to know about his younger sister and he coveted her, Miss Laina. However, the bullies never knew about her gender because Mahol tried to hide it to prevent them on coveting his sister like the Vice Principal.¡± The Vice Principal saw Laina¡¯s appearance and wanted to make her his. He fell in love with Raina when he saw her. To be honest, Raina was beautiful. Taking off the dirt that covered her face, it was so beautiful that wouldake other women want to cover their faces. Only when Selina comes forward can she cover her beauty. It was not unreasonable for the Vice Principal to like her. Even Raymond was surprised to see her after washing up neatly. But the method was wrong. The Vice Principal knew there was no way to make Laina his own, so eventually, he attacked Mahol. This was so ridiculous that Raymond can¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°The age difference is 40 years old.¡± Laina was only 14 years old. The Vice Principal is 54 years old. How can the Vice Principal be good if he coveted a young child? ¡°He also restricted them from eating. Two slices of bread a day. It¡¯s a bread that¡¯s hard and expired.¡± Alice¡¯s expression while talking was also not good. They¡¯re young children. Although Mahol was at the right age to go to work, Laina was not. She was still at the age of playing around. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World .

It was done by the Vice Principal in the first place. Punishment is not what he needed. He should be killed.
