●
It seems that if people are too dumbfounded, the reaction will not come out as violently as expected.
The poker face that Gideon always wears doesn't budge, so it must be true.
"…"
No, it's just ridiculous, right?
Say something.
"…"
However, silence continues.
He continued to look at me with an emotionless gaze, and then crossed his fingers.
in empty space.
"…?"
what are you doing
I don't understand what you're doing, so let's just stay still.
"Learn the sword from you."
Those words broke through the silence that lasted for a long time.
"Master asked for it."
"Yes."
"…"
Again Gideon was silent.
As if trying to measure something, it continues to look at me with slightly narrowed eyes.
"…You don't seem capable of that."
Again, after a long silence, the words came out.
no. That, of course, is a common sense reaction-
"You are already dead."
Having said that, Gideon snapped his fingers once.
and at the same time.
-!
The space right in front of me was 'cut'.
In a space where there is nothing, as if someone planted a slash in advance.
'…an intangible sword?'
A skill that allows you to use a slash even without a sword. Simdeuk has reached a natural phenomenon and is in a state where he can cut the opponent with his own body.
It's not a class that cuts through the entire space like the first Duke of Tristan, but this is a crazy skill that penetrates most of the armor if used while holding a sword. Because there is a record that even pierced the dragon's scales.
'…Are you crazy?'
No, isn't this attached to the final tier of knight skills?
I realized that the title of the strongest knight in the empire was not obtained by playing a card game.
Considering that the current swordsman's whereabouts are virtually unknown, he is virtually the only one in the Empire who can use this skill. That level of support.
And, I'm trying to scam a guy like that right now.
"If you want to teach me, you must be more capable than me. But you couldn't even react."
Gideon continued, still expressionless.
"If you're going to make a ridiculous proposal, why don't you make it a little more manageable?"
"I just thought I didn't have to react to unfinished technology."
However.
'…it took.'
smile inwardly
If he showed anything because he was halfway strong, it would have been like exposing all of his base.
Rather, since he showed no reaction, there is a gap to intervene.
"what?"
"If it was a completed technique, the 'movement' itself would have been omitted. Isn't it?"
"…"
Originally, this is information that even no one should know about.
It is only a skill to imitate even the current head of the Duke of Tristan, a master of swordsmanship. There would be no human who knew the finished version.
'…Except for me.'
uh. really.
Even though it was a movement used by a character in a game, I was perfectly aware of the direction, level of completion, and how to use this technology.
You can do anything as long as you 'pretend to know'.
"…"
In fact, Gideon's eyes widened slightly after hearing my words.
This guy will be able to agree with me.
You know best that this is incomplete.
"…"
"…"
Silence follows.
Gideon glares at me with a slight frown.
'…'
However, it is different from before.
Because I can clearly feel that I am taking the lead. Rather, you should wait patiently.
Probably, calculations were going on like crazy in Gideon's mind right now.
something about this guy what is identity
Even though he showed the strongest technique he could produce, he saw through it right from the seat.
Then, the reaction that follows…
"…You're quite good at turning your tongue."
First of all, back off and spy on the other person a little more.
thank god.
The most difficult gateway has passed.
The worst case was that he put a knife through his neck for no questions and answers, asking if he was mocking me, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
It seems that scoring points in the previous sparring were very effective.
So, one more thing here.
"Try to make the rotation a little stronger."
"What?"
"It must be because the lines are not drawn perfectly at moment the image is formed. At that moment, try putting a little more spin on it."
In fact, I don't even know what I'm talking about.
However, these are the words that the person himself leaves in the future.
'Gideon's diary.'
The items Elnor obtained after Gideon's death during the story have everything written about how this guy practiced his swordsmanship until now.
Elnor also grows rapidly based on that. Elnor's combat power, which would cut dozens of regular knights single-handedly, could be said to have been prepared by this person.
And, I remember all the contents of that precious diary.
Smile inside.
'…the teacher is a bitch.'
That is, I
I just hand over to myself the realm that this person will pioneer in the future.
It's just packaging it as 'teaching' to this person.
"…"
Gideon, who had a frown upon hearing what I had just said, was silent for a moment before closing his eyes.
And, this time.
A slash was created upwards in space, with absolutely no motion.
"…"
And Gideon's eyes widened when he saw it.
"…what."
Then, at the same time as a slightly trembling voice came out of Gideon, several spears appeared in succession in front of my eyes.
[Skill: A fatal attraction is activated! ]
[ The villain is amazed at your far-reaching accomplishments! ]
[ Rewards are added to the Gift tab! ]
[The number of villains who felt emotions other than 'like' to you has exceeded a certain range! ]
[Fulfill gift enhancement conditions! ]
['Gift #1: Fateful Attraction' is enhanced! ]
…was this supposed to be reinforced?
As I was silently blinking my eyes at such content, a voice flew in front of me again.
"you."
What hangs over Gideon's face is not the icy expression from before.
"…what is it?"
What lies at the base of that is undoubtedly 'tension'.
It is said that the strongest knight in the empire has now recognized me as a 'strong enemy'.
'…not really.'
No kidding, I can kill you with just one finger.
However, just making them admit it is a success.
"Didn't you tell me?"
So, this time I take my time and take my word for it.
"I was asked. to teach you."
"…"
He continues to speak to Gideon, who is silent.
"I heard that you have a purpose you want to achieve."
Choose your words slowly.
"There is something you want to cut."
This time there was a reaction.
Seeing his eyebrows squirm, he seemed somewhat surprised.
Perhaps the only person this person directly revealed this to was really the Sword Saint himself.
"…"
However, it's a problem because the guy who wants to cut is a crazy guy who corresponds to a natural phenomenon.
That is why Gideon wants to reach the level of the first Grand Duke of Tristan.
The madness passed down from generation to generation in the Tristan family is the product of a curse derived from him. This guy wants to cut it off.
Eventually, Gideon, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.
"…that's something even Master couldn't do."
Those words bring a smile to my heart.
"Are you sure you can do it?"
The strongest knight in the empire.
It was because he was accepting that he would receive 'teaching' from me.
So, you should answer honestly.
"It is possible."
Gideon's expression became serious.
uh. it's possible If you think about how far Elnor can be strengthened, you can grow this human similarly.
And if that's the case, you can definitely do it.
You can break the family curse.
'And if we strengthen this side…'
It can drastically reduce the chance of Elnor's corruption.
It's no exaggeration to say that the catalyst for the gray devil's resurrection depends on whether this human is alive or dead.
"only."
But, what else do you do to end it there?
As I added, Gideon's expression went blank for a moment.
"Didn't I say I would do it yet?"
"…"
He smiles broadly at Gideon, who is more than dazed.
"…what is that…?"
He answers with a single smile even when the answer comes out in an absurd voice.
"Honestly, why don't you teach me this with your bare mouth?"
"…"
"Let's negotiate for a moment. Yes."
mister.
I'll do it though
I never said a word about doing it for free.
Give me a reward.
●
I look down at the sheet of parchment held in my hand with a grin.
When I asked for this, Gideon's response was that it was too much of a burden, 'so why don't you learn swordsmanship?' In a word, after sinking. I can't help but laugh
[ Disclaimer ]
[ Item: Special ]
[This is a document delegating immunity from immunity to the Duke of Tristan for one time only. ]
Immunity, in a word, means that no matter what accident you do, you will never be judged by the law.
Even for a human who can become a Grand Duke, the fact that he possesses it is an extra-legal right that can be excommunicated.
This is in line with the reason why Gideon is assigned to the 'villain'.
'Executioner of the Empire.'
Taking on all the dirty work in the imperial family and handling it is the hidden side of the Tristan family.
He seems to be a duke with omnipotent power, but in the end, the leash is held by the imperial family.
"…"
And when the faces of some of the scum related to that side came to mind in the imperial palace, a sigh naturally flowed out.
I wish I hadn't had anything to do with it.
Anyway, receiving this even once is a great achievement.
'…Midterms after a while, right?'
If you scan the timeline drawn in your head, it's time for just such an event to happen.
It is also an incident that becomes a turning point that starts the second chapter in earnest when the saintess Lucien and the boy king are intertwined.
It is also the time when one of the villains who plays a large role in the scenario, 'The Emperor', appears.
And I'm there
A major accident is about to happen.
It's the boy king and the emperor, and that's the only way to screw them all.
"…"
Well.
Originally, doing so would be an act of suicide, but the Duke of Tristan, who gave you this document, will take care of the mess for you. That's it.
'Oh, there was one more.'
Come to think of it, there was something else besides this.
＜Special Gift＞
Gift #1- Destiny Attraction
[ You will learn various rewards as the favorability of the character with evil tendencies increases. ]
First reinforcement
[ The more evil characters acknowledge you, the more rewards you receive. ]
People involved
Hasmed of the current moon
Riverback Galdier
Gideon Galestud La Tristan
[ There are rewards available! ]
'Are you admitting it?'
Although the meaning is a bit vague, the rough nuances come to mind.
Perhaps the more you treat me with fear, or respect, or awe, or something special like that, the more you get rewarded.
So, what would be the possible rewards?
＜System Message＞
[ Obtain 'Skill: Guidance'! ]
＜ Skill Info ＞
[ Skill: Genealogy ] [ Grade: E ]
[ If you bloom the ability of an evil character, the same ability is added to the skill. The added ability can be used temporarily as well. ]
"…"
As soon as I saw the explanation, I stopped walking.
'…Isn't that crazy?'
If you grow others, you get the same ability?
Although there is a temporary restriction attached, I have just entered into a priestly relationship with the strongest knight in the Empire.
I can only see that the timing is extraordinarily added.
"…"
And, additionally.
It is also the ability to give wings to what I am going to do from now on.
I move on and go to the student council room.
Of course, he is looking for Elnor.
We have to do one thing together.
'The ability to grow right now is…'
If you have developed swordsmanship, the next thing to develop is divinity.
It won't be long before I awaken the consciousness of the spirit within the amulet, and divinity itself is playing a big role in what I'm going to commit in the midterm exam.
And I'm about to start using one of the easier ways to grow them.
"I am looking for Professor Grieber Ranfeld. Are you seated now?"
"uh. That bird… No, that professor is on probation right now, so he's probably only in the faculty building of the Divinity Faculty. Will I be able to visit you anytime?"
"okay. thank you."
Hearing such an answer from one of the faculty members on the way, I burst into laughter.
Professor Grieber Ranfeld is that guy.
A priest belonging to the faction of the Marquis Riverback who purposely refused to spread his blessings in order to feed Elnor during the monster disturbance that occurred at the freshman welcome party earlier.
I still remember how people stretched out for political reasons in a situation where they were about to die. If I hadn't stopped him, Elijah and Elnor would have killed him on the spot.
It's obvious why he's on probation. It has been revealed that Marquis Riverback is a devil worshiper, and all the people involved are being punished, so there is no way that you will be safe either. Reputation is also stuck in the gutter in the academy.
"…"
Laughs spill out.
In other words.
It means that no one cares much no matter what happens to you right now.
'It's not that I didn't save you last time for no reason.'
Now is the time to make full use of it.
a little, viciously.
