Swordmaster of the Red Light District

‘I thought I could hide it.’

It was a mistake in not being able to retrieve the monster’s corpse.

Realistically, it was far more plausible that a child who had just awakened mana killed a Wild Hog due to luck, rather than the hypothesis that a 9-year-old kid had reached the status of an expert.

Without evidence, the Count would have convinced himself that ‘Rei was just lucky’ and moved on.

However, the letter reveals that Jimmy must have reported in detail to the Count how and how Wildhogs were slaughtered.

‘If it’s Jimmy, there’s no way you can’t recognize the traces of swordsmanship even if you cut it a bit.’

Rey squeezed her temples.

The Earl of Phillips was clearly a generous, rational, and well-spoken nobleman.

If he knew of Ray’s achievements, he could have given him generous support through the medium of ‘appropriate price’.

Nevertheless, the reason Rey hid the information from the Count was because of the risk.

When they get a little older, they will start catching up with the frightening speed, but at this point, Rey’s achievements were way too far ahead.

There was no guarantee that even the most rational Earl of Phillips would turn his eyes to Ray, a seemingly unscrupulous genius, and not act suddenly.

‘Ha, there’s nothing I can do about it.’

You can’t break the earl’s pot to keep a secret.

Rey, who had been lying in bed for an hour or so, woke up with a sickening sound after Adele, who had asked him to rest in peace, left his seat.

“My whole body aches. I’ll have to suffer for a few more days. But where is Alesia…”

squeak!

Bright blonde hair swelled as the door opened vigorously.

Alesia, who confirmed that Rey had woken up, ran over.

“Ray! Wake up!”

“Why are you so talkative?”

Although it did rub, it looked very lively for being hit by a wild hog once.

‘Oh, he slept on my back.’

While Rey was gliding down the mountain, Alesia slept on her back and snored.

After arriving at the orphanage, Adele treated him with divine power, so it was understandable that he was full of energy.

As Rey was holding the weight with a very picky face, Alessia asked with a shriveled voice.

“The face… Why is it like that?”

Ray patted his face.

A gauze-like cloth was placed over the cut across half of her face.

Touching the wound brings back memories of the battle.

“I think my skin was torn from hanging on a tree branch while hanging on a wildhog. I’m glad my eyes weren’t pulled out. If I hadn’t raised my head, I’d have been carrying a cane for the rest of my life.”

“Ugh…”

Rey leaned her chin toward Alesia, who was restless in her place.

“What are you thinking about?”

“It’s a bit awkward to say thanks to the people who used nobles as bait…”

“This bitch is still out of her mind.”

“Ouch!”

Alessia, who was hit in the back of the head, grumbled and rubbed the back of her head.

“Take good care of it so it doesn’t look ugly. You don’t have a natural face, but it shouldn’t be a flaw.”

“Why are you worried about that?”

“Ray, I like good-looking people. But Ray’s eyes are fierce, so he’s far from my ideal type.”

“Are you arguing now?”

“So it means go ahead.”

Alesia, who cleared her throat while coughing, paused for a moment before raising her voice as usual.

“More than that, Ray, don’t be surprised to hear that. I saw something very rare today!”

“Hey, what kind of novelty did my little girl see in this little orphanage?”

“I saw a Cheonmin who could read and write! I never imagined that there would be another Cheonmin who could read and write other than Ray!”

Rey slapped Alesia in the back once more.

*

In less than two days, Alessia was taken care of at the orphanage.

There was nothing good about spreading the story of a noble girl in an orphanage, so with the consent of Count Yong-in, Alessia was given a fake commoner status for a while.

The problem is that Alesia ignored this agreement and continued to claim that she was a nobleman.

Rey, who gave up on keeping Alesia’s mouth shut, watched how things turned out.

At the end of every word, ‘Chunmin! Chunmin!’ I was afraid that I would be bullied because I was giggling and giving strength to my neck.

To be more precise, Alesia, who calls herself a nobleman, was pursued by the children of the nursery with their eyes twinkling.

For children who have never had a chance to encounter nobles in their lives, the existence of Alesia came to me very mysteriously and gracefully.

“Nobles don’t walk so vulgarly. Doesn’t it make a thumping sound from the heel to the floor?”

“Well, then, can I walk like this?”

“Your back is too bent. Give your hips a little more force, and your gaze should be directed forward.”

There was an untimely culture boom in nurseries.

The girls pampered Alesia and inquired about the nobles’ culture, while the boys looked at the white skin of the nobles and grabbed the railing and poked their heads into the room where Alessia was staying.

Of course, not everyone was like that.

For example, in the case of Karen, she did not believe that Alessia was a noble, and when she brought Alesia, Rey came back with a lot of injuries, and she didn’t like Alesia who kept pretending to be close to Rey.

I was still in a ‘bitch’ state, so I couldn’t ask anything to Ray, so it was even more difficult.

Rei, unaware of Karen’s feelings, touched her forehead while watching the noisy nursery school.

“Go out and spread all the rumors. The Phillips girl is here.”

Ray, who smashed the wall, saw the children’s attention and shouted.

“Everyone, get ready for class!”

Although his body was not in perfect shape, he could not skip class.

Some of the children who checked the timetable rushed to the classroom.

Seeing that, Alessia’s curious eyes lit up.

In the end, Alessia, who took a seat next to the church, trembled while attending class and grabbed Rey’s arm.

“Lee, Ray…”

“Why again?”

“You know how to play multiplication tables…”

Alessia, who thought that the poor could only count to ten, was shocked and lost consciousness.

Just as Rey was thinking about how many more times Rey would have to hit Alesia in the back of the head before she could wake up, Karen, who was sitting at the end of the classroom, smashed the desk and stood up.

“Hey! Liar! Are you going to keep pretending to be a nobleman?”

“A liar? Are you talking to me now?”

“Yeah, you liar. Even though you’re not a noble, you’re pretending to be a noble. What’s the difference between walking quietly and a nobleman?”

“Chunmin, who doesn’t even know how to culture, knows how to play multiplication tables.”

“So you’re a nobleman, and you know how to do multiplication properly?”

“It’s like a multiplication table, I took it off when I was just starting to walk.”

“Liar! If you’re that confident, why don’t you try hanging out with me!”

“Hey, are you saying you’re going to challenge me with math now? I’ll accept that challenge. It should be considered tolerance to tell the uneducated people why nobles are called nobles.”

That’s how the math battle started.

The two of them posed a lot of questions in the same way that Ray became the way it was supposed to be.

The skills of Karen and Alesia were close.

Karen seemed to have better computing power, but Alesia, who was older, had a better sense of finding answers.

As the match got longer, Karen’s face flushed red with excitement.

At this rate, it would be difficult to defeat Alesia, and even if he did, he would only be able to show a slight difference.

Karen wanted to cut off Alesia’s nose. Even if you let go of your self-esteem.

After repeated conflicts, Karen finally got up from her seat, holding her teeth tight.

As Karen ran out of the classroom, Alesia smiled triumphantly.

“Heh, you’re running away with your tail rolling.”

However, Karen, who thought she had run away, returned to the classroom with a familiar face.

Ray was shocked.

“No, isn’t that a bit rude? Are you going to use that asymmetrical power here?”

“…?”

Luna, who was suddenly dragged by Karen, blinked, unable to grasp the situation.

Alesia shouted confidently at that fierce look.

“Are you my next opponent? Bring more as many as you can. I’ll teach the stupid people the greatness of the nobility!”

*

“Ue uh… uh uh…”

Alesia, who was unilaterally bullied by Luna, was hugging her knees and squeezing in a corner of the classroom.

“Hey, there’s no way this can’t happen. I can’t be defeated by the common people…”

Leaving Alesia crying, Rey pointed to the playground.

“I’ll stop. I have Taekwondo class.”

“Ugh…”

Alesia, who continued to wrestle, showed her anger by waving her arms in the air when Rey really left the classroom.

“You can’t back down like this! You must build the dignity of the nobility!”

But how?

In a brain battle, it was clear that he couldn’t possibly be the opponent of that monstrous girl.

Is that the common man I know? Does that make sense? Could it be that Rei brought a nobleman from another territory to make fun of me?

Alesia, who was grunting and pondering the bitter defeat, looked down at her chest.

Alesia already had the most perfect and decisive means to establish the dignity of nobility to the common people.

“But my dad said that you shouldn’t show your magic to others…”

Magic is really a last resort.

It was clear that he would be ignorantly scolded by his father if he showed it recklessly to the common people.

Alesia, who had been thinking over and over with a droopy face, looked out at the playground.

All the children in the nursery were gathering and performing the same movement, and Alesia clenched her fists when she saw the scene.

“Yeah! If magic doesn’t work, I can show you my swordsmanship!”

Seeing an opportunity to restore her self-esteem, Alessia patted her knees and went out to the playground.

Seeing Alesia creeping out, Karen snorted.

“What, are you a liar?”

“I’m not a liar! Be silent, ignorant Cheonmin!”

“You said you were a noble and you lost to the common people.”

“Hey, that’s because I was careless! My body hasn’t recovered yet! So, you’ll be lucky today!”

The energetic Alesia tilted her head when she saw the children kicking.

“But you teach strange things. Why the hell are you learning that?”

“Are you ignoring the Taekwondo that Ray taught you now? Do you know how to do such a cool kick?”

“Woomun. What the hell do you mean by learning kicks and using them? It’s not like you’re just throwing away your sword on the battlefield and fighting with your legs.”

“Oh, that’s…!”

This time, Karen’s answer could only be difficult.

In the first place, Ray taught Taekwondo to children so that they could learn the senses of body use in advance, but did not expect much as a martial art.

Alessia smirked at Karen.

“A true nobleman doesn’t kick. Do you know how to use a sword?”

“Everyone, of course not!”

“Interesting. Would you like to fight a sword with me?”

Alesia’s taunts attracted a lot of attention from children, especially boys.

Children who were usually reckless playing knights with sticks gathered around Alesia.

“Alesia-sama, did you also learn swordsmanship?”

“Have you heard of the sword?”

“Hey, can you play a match with me too?”

“Alessia-sama, are you strong?”

“Can you fly a sword?”

In response to the enthusiastic response, Alessia tightened her neck and nodded her head.

“Wait. If you want, let me teach you one by one in order. You will know it by glory.”

Ray, who was watching the situation, murmured.

“That would be really one-sided.”

Alesia learned advanced swordsmanship from an early age, although she was educated.

On the other hand, the children of the orphanage had never encountered a proper swordsmanship in their lifetime.

The difference that came from that had to be very stark.

Under Rey’s watch, a wooden sword battle started with Alesia as the lead.

Puffy!

“Ahh!”

Whirick- Tap!!

“Wow!!”

Quick!

“aah!!”

To prevent an accident, Ray watched Dalian closely, but Alessia finished most of the children at the orphanage who applied for Dalian within 2 go.

A very one-sided result.

Even among the defeated children, there was a man several years older than Alessia.

As the children’s eyes began to turn with envy again, Karen clapped her hands.

Yohana, who was watching the swordsmanship from behind, approached.

“Karen, did you call me?”

“Johana, can you beat that liar?”

“Huh? Ummm…”

After thinking for a while, Yohana smiled softly.

“I’ll try !”
