2nd Rank Has Returned

chapter 4



Regression-4

“…are you okay?”

I didn’t know that Ariaspil would suddenly appear from behind the tree. Have you ever seen all the crazy things I did before?

[So who would call you eunuch?]

“I know, so shut up! A little!!”

Is it because he’s an eunuch? What kind of sage is understanding and not even a fingernail?!

“…Uh…? sorry…”

When Leo suddenly shouted, she apologized. In Ariaspil’s eyes, he asked ‘Are you okay?’ and told him to shut up right away.

“Oh sorry. I didn’t tell you.”

“What…?”

“How do you feel? Are you not hurt?”

He asked as calmly as possible to hide his crazy behavior.

“Uh, it’s okay.”

Ariaspil’s face was dyed red. Her heartbeat could be heard through her wrist.

No matter how strong she was, she was only a 13-year-old child.

‘It’s not unreasonable to be surprised.’

With that in mind, Leo carefully set her down.

“Sorry, I was too focused on training.”

“training…? that is…?”

I vaguely remember what I did before.

Without even needing to recall, I could see the madness just by looking around the messy surroundings.

[Whoever looked at me was crazy. that.]

For whom is that old man

You might think that Leo was over-excited, but he couldn’t help but get angry.

Imagine suddenly an old ghost superimposes its own body on its own face.

What if it wasn’t even in the form of a whole, but even the dense organs inside were perfectly realized?

Even if it is not a situation to eat, the vomit will be focused.

‘Thinking about it now… Ugh, especially the kidneys…’

At that time, I was eating meat bean stir-fry. When I tried to supplement the protein, I vomited it all up.

“…I’ve never seen such an angry practice before.”

Leo did it for the first time. I didn’t even want to try again.

“That’s… so this was the case. In order to protect our dignity as human beings…”

[Without being dignified.]

are you really going to kill me he’s already dead

“…uh! Anyway, I never really thought of this! I’m really sorry!”

Relieving his anger from the old man, Leo bowed his head and apologized to Ariaspil.

After all, the victim was her.

“…it’s okay. I wasn’t hurt, and it came out just the way I wanted it to.”

“But… why are you here?”

There was still plenty of time until the Dalian date. It must have been only a day since we promised, but now she has come.

“…that…”

Ariaspil hesitated to answer.

That would be…

‘…why am I here…?’

Because she herself didn’t know why.

I was drawn to this place by the beating of my heart.

‘…However…’

I couldn’t say that out loud.

It was clear that he would think that she was a strange woman.

“…I’m curious about the unusual training method you did…”

“…how to practice? Could it be that?!”

Leo remembered the madness of the past. Paying attention to such madness was very detrimental to my mental health.

Thinking like that, Ariaspil shook his head at high speed.

“Not that! Mana training method!”

“Ah… were you talking about mana training?”

The sage’s eyebrows twitched at the name.

[Mana training? Did you name it that way?]

Leo responded in a low voice, minimizing the movement of his mouth.

“I don’t have a good naming sense… but it would be nice to have a name at least.”

[No, that’s fine. I don’t have the physical skills to teach you.]

“What are you saying to yourself?”

Still, as much as he murmured, he had no choice but to see the person in front of him.

I’ll have to come up with a way, and if I keep going like this, I’ll look like a real madman.

“…No, just. I talk to myself a lot.”

“I see. It’s special.”

Luckily it passed that way.

“…I’ve never seen such a water lily. There was no such training method in our family.”

Is it because of his mood that the corners of the sage’s lips rise at those words?

[After all, he is a descendant of Ruben! Unlike any idiot who gave me a chance!]

It’s not the mood. The corners of his mouth could not go up, so he was bent vertically and rising.

“I’m a little lacking in character, but I have a good teacher.”

[Yes, no.]

Oh, not really. Not a little, but a lot.

“I see…”

Ariaspil nodded and looked at the sword that Leo was holding. What that gaze meant, Leo could easily notice.

“Would you like to practice together while you are here?”

“…training?”

Ariaspil’s expressionless eyes twinkled at the word water lily.

“…but I don’t have a sword…”

“Then take this.”

Hearing that there was no sword, Leo pulled out a sword from the other side of the waist and held it out.

“It’s cheap, but it’s worth it.”

For a young girl of a brave family who has only used swords made by famous blacksmiths all her life, it would be a bad sword, but for Leo, it was a decent weapon.

“…thank you.”

“What?”

It was a strange feeling.

Leo lived as a servant of her family and received few thanksgivings. It was probably small enough to count if I counted my fingers and toes.

“…why?”

But when you say thank you, it was rude to show such an attitude.

“Oh… nothing. I just didn’t hear it well.”

Leo erased his trembling expression and raised his sword.

“Then we begin.”

“uh. Okay.”

She also started collecting mana while holding an old sword.

[…what is that kid?]

As soon as he saw her training method, the sage ripped his chin apart.

“It’s genius. A real genius.”

Ariaspil Reinhardt, as soon as she saw Leo’s training, she was equally splitting mana particles.

No, it wasn’t the same.

‘You are splitting mana particles finer than me.’

That was the level of grinding particles, not splitting them. You will be able to absorb enough mana without having to use the training method.

‘…for a moment…’

But when she started training, she felt uncomfortable.

“…what…”

[what? why? Aren’t you good at it?]

It’s right to be good at it.

“On the level of the general public.”

A genius, Ariaspil’s talent doesn’t end there.

It means that we do not stop at the level of only ‘good at’.

‘Come to think of it, it was the same when we first fought.’

When I first fought, I thought that I could be weak because I was young. However, the second time I watched the swordsmanship, I could clearly see the problem.

“Stop for a moment.”

“…why?”

“That’s not it.”

At that, Ariaspil tilted his head.

“…the particles are very well cleaved.”

“Not that. The swordsman side.”

Leo grabbed her sword.

“The swordsmanship is wrong.”

At that point, Ariaspil’s eyes became sharp. She was usually proud of her swordsmanship.

It was a swordsmanship that even the knights of the family, Jehard, the leader, and the head of the family recognized.

“What’s wrong? I did what you taught me.”

He was angry at pointing out his swordsmanship like that.

“who? That escort?”

“Uh, just as Jehard taught me.”

Despite his personality, Jehard was a knight recognized by the Reinhardt family. His skills and achievements were not even compared to those of other families.

“Then that’s the problem.”

“…What?”

[…What?]

The sage and Ariaspil asked at the same height and voice.

“…that’s the problem?”

“Uh, that’s a problem.”

In Leo’s eyes, that was beyond a doubt.

“…why is that a problem?”

“Then I’ll ask, what’s the similarity between you and that Jehad?”

Ariaspil hesitated for a moment to answer that question.

“Same…dots?”

“Yeah, do you have any physical similarities?”

She didn’t hesitate to answer.

‘that…’

because there was no

Jehad and Ariaspil differed in gender, build, height, flexibility, muscle mass, and even talent.

“No?”

“…uh.”

“What’s the point in copying the same swordsmanship of another child from that face to the claws? It’s a completely different case of swordsmanship.”

Imitating the master’s swordsmanship, that was a class that was taken for granted when learning swordsmanship for the first time.

‘But that’s only if you’re a beginner in swordsmanship.’

If you have become accustomed to swordsmanship, you need to take your own tricks and shape. The more talented you are, the better.

‘But Ariasviel didn’t.’

It wasn’t because Ariaspil wasn’t talented. Rather, it was the opposite.

‘Because it’s still inflexible.’

Ariaspil was too honest. He was a guy who always put rules and discipline first.

So, you always use the knowledge you have learned. I was able to develop higher than anyone else in the direction I was taught, but I couldn’t use it in a different direction.

[The growth power is crazy, but the application power is falling.]

It was an exquisite summary.

‘Before the regression, that bastard must have been cut off, and he had more success.’

But there was no need to wait until then.

“Take a stance.”

At those words, Ariaspil grabbed his sword and took a stance.

“…outline…”

Leo lightly grabbed her leg with one hand and began to move.

“Is this like this?”

“…?!”

Her face reddened at the sudden touch. Your heart beats faster and your face heats up. But Leo, who was only looking at his legs and body, couldn’t figure it out.

[Can I just touch you like that?]

<It’s okay. I’ve been fighting for several years, and I’ve figured out all about this guy’s muscle and bone structure.>

In that field, Leo was the top more than anyone.

[I’m not saying that… It seems a bit perverted. In many ways.]

what do you mean Anyway, if this was to fill her black heart, she would either wield a sword or slap her on her side.

[Wait, but how can you communicate without opening your mouth?]

<Ah, I’m talking about the auror now.>

[What? Auror?]

<The mana is supplemented, and the core is formed to some extent.>

It wasn’t perfect, but it was able to spit out an aura like this.

[Are you telepathic? Auror doesn’t have such a function, right?]

“It’s not telepathy. It vibrates with an auror to create a small sound near the heart.>

I thought that doing so would cause the wise man’s stone to reverberate and make a sound.

I was dubious, but I didn’t know it was going to be a real success.

[…Hey, if you’re not a genius, what are the others? will you fall? waste? What is it?]

<Look at the guy in front of you now.>

Leo finished correcting his posture and released his hand.

“Come on, swing it now.”

“…uh?! uh!”

Why are you so upset? Is it because I suddenly touched you too much? But he wouldn’t be the one to care about that.

Whik!

Confused, she swung her sword.

Short and sharp voice.

The long and thick wind pressure that followed that blow.

[crazy…]

The trees of the forest sway,

[what…]

The leaves in summer turn into fallen leaves like in late autumn.

The scene was like the appearance and disappearance of a storm.

‘Cause this is a real genius

I’ve never been able to break

It was the look of a true genius.
