chapter 7
Episode 7. The lower body is very weak (2)
Anise’s exclusive escort was unreliable.
‘Brother Annis… lost?’
Although it was said that he opened the way to Kether easily enough, it was not because he was afraid of Kether.
Because the third boy is strong.
Keter was also bizarrely strong, but it was because he was certain that he wouldn’t be able to win as much as Master Anise.
There was also an expectation that the young master would scold Keter.
But what about the results?
Keter and Anis were tossing and turning for an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the match was over. With the defeat of Anis.
The movements of the two were so fast that he couldn’t see them closely, but the senior soldier could tell that Keter had overpowered Anise using only skill.
Alex, the subordinate he was with, had been sent to the main building to report the situation. So it was even more regrettable. To think that I was the only one watching the battle scene between the two that took place in an instant.
He probably wouldn’t believe it even if he told the other soldiers. That Keter had subdued Anis in one fell swoop.
‘How the hell, Master Anise… … .’
As part of her training, Anis frequently sparred with soldiers. And never lost.
Basically, I deal with three people at the same time, and on days when my condition is good, I have a record of winning even fighting nine people.
He excels in archery, but is also a master of martial arts. If you ask who the lineage of the Sephira that the young soldiers envy is, it was definitely Anis.
It was impossible to admit the defeat of Anis, whom everyone envied.
‘This was a surprise. Master Anise did intense training for several days in a row, and he was even injured. Master Keter was cowardly and attacked first.’
The senior soldier was watching from Keter’s back, so he didn’t know that Anis had attacked first.
‘It’s true that Keter is strong, but… But I can’t leave Anis-sama alone. What do we do?’
As the senior soldier watches, wondering what to do. As Anis, who had fallen, tried to stand up, Keter spoke.
“Why does the body rise?”
If it was a real battle, you would have already died. Anis, who understood Keter’s words, responded.
“This was not a fair fight.”
“Oh, at what point?”
“I trained without sleeping a day from three days ago until now. Besides, distance is life for archers. If you were my enemy, I wouldn’t have given you this distance in the first place.”
“Ah, so that’s what you mean. Fighting the enemy who wants to kill you, making your presence known when you are in your best condition and your mind is ready. Is that what you mean by ‘fighting’?”
“Don’t mock. I don’t know, since you’ve lived your whole life as a commoner, but dignity is like life for aristocrats.”
“For whatever reason, you lost. I can’t even make excuses because I’m alive now, and I can’t even make excuses after I die. You just end up being a stupid dead idiot.”
“What do you know about teaching me?”
“What are you doing pretending to know? The truth is, I’m a kid who doesn’t know anything.”
“this… … !”
When Anis, who was beaten up in anger, tried to stand up again, Keter pushed Anis in the chest with her bow and knocked her down.
“A winner can’t have everything a loser has, but he can certainly have one life.”
“So, are you saying you want to kill me?”
From the first meeting, it is a situation where you have to kill or not. The senior soldier watching was already so nervous that he forgot to breathe.
If Keter said he would kill Anis, he braced his feet, intending to run away immediately.
But Keter spoke generously.
“Why kill my precious customer if I killed it?”
Keter pulled out a business card from her breast pocket, held it between her fingers and held it out to Anis.
Business card with magic coating on stiff paper.
Anis saw this and blinked.
“What is this… … ?”
A business card in this situation?
However, according to the law of the nobility, it was impossible not to accept the business card the other person handed over.
– Fixer, Keter.
We will definitely solve your problem at an unreasonable price.
Anis turned the card over at the strange feeling she felt from the back of the card.
On the back of the business card, the tangential rune of the ‘Akashic Code’, a long-distance communication magic used by wizards, was engraved.
“They say you’re from a lawless city. Was it a wizard?”
To use the Akashic Code, mana and magical knowledge were essential.
Keter shrugged.
“I’m not a wizard, I’m a solver. I think you’re finally ready to talk, but I can’t leave you sitting on the cold floor.”
Keter held out her hand to Anis.
But Anis did not hold Keter’s hand and stood up on her own.
“A solver? That’s not even funny. I know my problem well and I already know how to solve it. I don’t need anyone’s help Stop nagging and let’s fight again. This time, I will fight with all my heart.”
“If you want to fight me, the waiting list is quite long. Do you have any money to get a ticket? I am willing to give a family discount.”
“Befitting from a lawless city, you reveal the money first.”
“So how much do you have? Do you have more money than me?”
Anise was speechless again. I had never really thought about property in my life.
‘How much money do I have?’
Soon, Anise shook her head as if to dispel her thoughts. Strangely, it felt like I was distracted when I talked to Keter.
“stop! I don’t care if you’re from absinthe or a fixer. quit now I don’t have time to waste time like this.”
Anise exclaimed.
Then Keter held out two fingers.
“I don’t take requests verbally. Two hundred gold to get out.”
“It is absurd. There is no such money.”
“Don’t worry. I also take bills.”
When Keter pulled out a pen and paper from her bosom, Anise hated it.
“Did you carry it? You’re crazy.”
Then Keter grinned and said:
“Looks like you know a little bit about me.”
Keter obediently returned the bow and arrows to Anis. Even while accepting the bow, Anis had a slightly uneasy face.
“I’m not asking for money.”
“Today is like this. Eat well, get plenty of rest, and come visit me when you feel better.”
It’s not ‘come find me’, it’s a command tone. Anise’s expression frowned again.
“Why should I?”
Be that as it may, Keter had already turned his back and was walking towards the entrance. He responded as if it was natural.
“Because I lost.”
Anis interpreted it arbitrarily as saying that Keter was accepting a rematch.
“good night! i will find you Let me tell you clearly that your victory was a fluke.”
If there are no customers, the Keter way is to create them.
It was the moment of making the first customer in the Sephira family.
* * *
The first fight after returning.
I was not satisfied. Because no adult is happy to beat a baby.
I could feel very well what the problem was. The body cannot keep up with the skills the head knows.
It was natural. The skills the head knows are from the previous life, but the body is from the present.
How much mana did I have when I came to come at this time? Concentrating his consciousness, he checked the amount of aura and mana accumulated in his body.
7 years worth of aura, 2 years worth of mana.
At the age of 18, this is enough to get your shoulder tendons in order. By normal standards, that is.
By my standards, this is just a snot.
The power used against the monarch, ‘Ain’, is the power of fusion of Aura and Mana, and basically both Aura and Mana are required for 100 years in order to fuse.
Did it take 30 years in your previous life? Even that was accelerated at the cost of my lifespan, and I wasn’t a perfect subhuman.
As an imperfect child, he couldn’t defeat even the monarch, let alone the queen. Therefore, you must obtain a perfect sub-human, and you must obtain more power than that.
Ain’s next stage, Ein Sof.
This was a power used by those who were worshiped as gods. I need that power too to face the queen.
But I only know Ein Sof exists, I don’t know how to get it.
First of all, you have to recover from the level you achieved in your previous life. Beyond the ‘6-star grandmaster’, the last level allowed to humans, the ‘7-star prime’.
It took 30 years in my previous life, but-
‘Let’s shorten this life to 5 years.’
Within 5 years, you will obtain the power of Prime, the highest and highest realm that humans can reach. And instead of the imperfect Ajin he used in his previous life, he will obtain a perfect Ajin.
People who know about Ain’s power will laugh at it when they hear it, but if you return and you can’t do this, you’ll have to stick your nose in the dish and die.
However, now was the time to praise one’s achievements and enjoy the rewards. It was also confirmed that there was no difference between the previous life and the present life, and the result of making Anis the first customer was achieved.
‘This is three birds with one stone.’
After seeing the pleasant gains, the empty stomach that had been forgotten raised its head.
‘Isn’t saving the family and killing the queen all about eating well and living well?’
I was on my way to a restaurant I already knew where, but my eyes met Jacques, who was looking for me. He hurriedly ran and said.
“young master! Why did you go to the West Hall alone? If you get lost, you could die of a heart attack from an acute panic attack!”
Zach’s fuss, given away as much as possible, is still the same whether it was before the return or now.
“Wait a minute, Bocchan. The blood on your shoulder… ? Come on, can you?”
“It’s not my blood.”
I had a fight with Anise and it seems that his blood was on my clothes.
“yes? I beg your pardon? That’s more of a problem! Who, who did you kill? yes!?”
“I don’t kill anyone.”
“Oh, you don’t kill anyone? What else are you talking about? Please, please. Can’t you just stay still for the first day? You still don’t know anything about the Sephira family, do you?”
“Hmm.”
That’s right. only half as much.
On the surface, he knows almost everything about the Sephira family. It’s not like I just played for a year.
But again, I don’t know the details. Because in my previous life, I had no interest in family affairs.
Certainly, it was necessary to obtain information from someone who knew the details of the situation inside the family.
You don’t have to go far, it’s right in front of you.
Old Man Zach was born into the Sephira family, received training as a butler, and has sworn allegiance to this day. In other words, it is said that it is a living witness of history.
He shook hands with Old Man Zach and said.
“Inspired. Let’s go get something to eat.”
“Suddenly?”
“Then you’re leaving all of a sudden. Do you make plans and eat?”
“Ah, yes, what. It’s lunch time anyway. Guidance to the restaurant… Before you do, please change your clothes. Aren’t the attendants frightened by the blood on it?”
Looking around, I can see the servants who met my gaze are scattering like rabbits in front of a hound.
“hmm. It’s what the old man says, so I’m listening to it for free.”
I stopped by the dressing room and picked up the clothes I liked, ignoring the stylish clothes recommended by old man Jacques.
It was a dark blue and black outfit, like the darkness of the night sky. There’s a bit of crimson on it, and I really like it.
The buttons were not fastened. Because it’s frustrating. Perhaps the old man knew that I had given in as much as possible, so he didn’t mumble.
A bald head chef was waiting for me in the restaurant.
“Nice to meet you, Bocchan. As of today, I am Altin, who has been assigned as your exclusive cook.”
Altyn. how can i not know its name He is a kind octopus man who made me anything I wanted to eat in my previous life.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Octopus.”
“octopus… ? Keuheum, yes, thank you very much. Shall I prepare the meal right away?”
“4 servings, 20% vegetables, 80% meat. There’s nothing I can’t eat, so I cook with confidence using fresh, seasonal ingredients.”
“Sah, you are quite specific. All right.”
As Altin entered the kitchen, he soon heard a tumultuous preparation sound.
“young master. Then, I will be waiting outside, so please enjoy your meal.”
As he was about to leave, he put his hand into Zach’s armpit, lifted him up, and seated him in a chair.
“What are you waiting for outside? we are not strangers Eat together.”
“… It is against the law of the nobility.”
Even though old man Zach rides a sucker in front of me, he is a faithful loyalist who gave his life until the Sephira family perishes and is a heavy-mouthed man.
No matter how friendly I try to dig up information, I will never answer questions that cross the line.
But I know old Zach’s weakness.
He pulled the cap off the bottle of wine on the table and filled the glass.
“The law is a piece of sh*t. My word is law here. Come on, get yourself a drink too.”
After filling old Jacques’s glass, I raised my own.
“Come on, you’re salty. We should congratulate today’s meeting.”
“ah… uh… … .”
Crack!
I bumped into the old man’s glass first and drank the wine.
see, see
The image of Old Man Zach swallowing his saliva while watching the gurgling of my throat as he coolly inhaled.
“The old man?”
Shaking the cleanly emptied glass, old man Jacques’ neck twitched as well.
“Then, let’s have a little drink.”
Old Jacques took a sip of wine, as if reluctantly, and set it down on the table.
Man, why can’t you be so honest?
All I have to do is write a little impression. Then, old man Jacques emptied all the glasses with a tearful expression. If anyone sees it, you’ll know they’re forcing you to drink it.
Old Man Jacques is a nobleman who does not like to drink alcohol. However, during work, he is extremely restrained from doing so.
Aren’t you still looking at an empty wine glass with regretful eyes?
cubby.
I’m not the one who will just watch it. As soon as the wine glass is filled up, Zach’s expression changes every moment.
joy, worry. And joy again.
I was about to pour my glass, but Old Man Jacques snatched the bottle from my hand and said,
“If you receive a drink, it is the law to return it. I will follow you.”
Jureuk.
Elegantly and gently, old Zach, who had filled my wine glass, was about to put the bottle away.
I waved my wine glass again to express my displeasure.
“I don’t think the old man is happy to meet me? I see you give me a little bit like this.”
“Oh, no. I think it will be bad if you eat too much from the first day.”
“Are you saying I’m weak in alcohol?”
“I didn’t mean to say that… … .”
“You hurt your pride, shall we bet? who gets it first The loser will grant the wish.”
“How can I make a bet with the young master?”
Zach sternly refused, but this was also an expected category.
“Oops, I’m sorry. Since old man Zach is old, he must be weak in alcohol. You’re suggesting an unfavorable bet in the first place. Tsk, that’s it. Let’s talk about something that never happened.”
As he said that and tried to put away the bottle, he could clearly see old man Zach’s eyebrows going up. Zach, a drunkard, hated being told that alcohol was weak.
teouk.
Old Man Jacques grabbed the wine bottle and said with a serious face.
“young master. what you just said. Are you serious? It’s a bet that the loser will grant the wish.”
A large fish was caught.
“On my honor… No, what are those disappointed eyes? I knew. I swear by the blood of the Sephira family. If I lose, I’ll grant you any wish.”
“… I will swear.”
Contrary to what I had sworn in informally, old man Zach went through the ceremony of oath quite seriously. Close your eyes in a reverent posture, as if you were praying.
“I swear on my soul to Queen Lillian. If you lose this bet, I will grant Master Keter one wish as long as no harm is done to the Sephira family.”
“… … .”
“young master?”
“huh? Ah, I heard you.”
Lillian. Hearing that b*tch’s name made me feel bad for a moment.
Yes, Lillian must be like a god to Zach. It’s not just Jack. Everyone honors Queen Lillian as a ‘god’.
In the first place, even the name of this country was ‘Lillian Kingdom’.
Lillian proved herself to be a god by maintaining her youth for nearly 800 years since the founding of the country, or even thousands of years before that.
Of course I know that b*tch is not God. The kings of other kingdoms other than Lillian’s kingdom all claim to be gods – but they are all capable of killing them.
In any case, the Sephira family is important now, followed by kings and gods.
“I’m going to cook!”
The meal began in earnest with Altin bringing a large bowl from the kitchen. At the same time, drinking with Zach.
“You salt it.”
Jacques starts drinking confidently first, which in my eyes just looks cute.
Do you know the inspiration? In liqueur, whenever there is a drinking contest, he calls me and asks me to referee or mediate.
Why?
that’s because i’m god
god of wine.
From the age of seven when I started drinking until now, I have never lost a drinking battle.
