Chapter 181 – Baron Yu-Hee (8)
182. Baron Yoo-hee (8)
“… You mean swordsmanship?”
“Okay. Don’t you want to learn?”
While I was moving my luggage outside, the old butler came up to me and said so.
He said, he asks me to learn swordsmanship to protect myself and also for self-defense. At the same time, Bellic, the knight of the baron, was giving the servants a chance to teach in public.
Bellick is a knight I’ve seen when I met Darren at a clothing store, but in simple terms, it can be seen as Daren’s exclusive thug.
‘To do something.’
I already know that Daren is brandishing a sword in the open air arena far away.
But at most, what kind of favor did he do the servant? Looking at the head of the butler, who even applied unspoken pressure as if to answer that he wanted to, I could see his intentions at first glance.
If you nod your head and follow him to the gymnasium….
“Who is this? Raul? What’s going on here Could it be that you came to learn from Bellick?”
“Ah. Small worker. Actually, I decided to teach this in my free time…….”
Sure enough, Darren and Bellick were waiting for me, giggling.
Darren pretends not to know about this situation and takes it off, but how many people here are capable of plotting something like this.
“Flaw. Don’t be nervous that a high-ranking person is watching, and get a wooden sword here. Because there is nothing better than practice.”
Knight Bellic, a man with a stern appearance, soon approached me and offered to teach me. He is handed a wooden sword from him, so now his intentions are also clear.
Apparently they were playing with me as a punching bag.
‘They’ve become more serious than before.’
It’s like making a plausible justification to harass a servant……. He probably judged that since he was under the baroness, it would be difficult to beat him carelessly.
But what should I do?
An opportunity to show off his swordsmanship skills came unexpectedly. If I ever win and the atmosphere of the family is ruined, wouldn’t it change differently from the development I wanted?
I was thinking about how far I should show my skills for a moment, but then I realized that this was a pretty shriveled idea and shook my head inwardly.
In the first place, such things are only done by the strong.
Great. Let’s use everything we’ve learned from McAllen so far.
As I was handing over the wooden sword and swinging it around, I saw that the audience was gathering before I knew it. Even the maids who were working from a distance stopped for a moment and looked this way.
Most of all, Stella must have heard this exciting news, and at some point she came into her gymnasium and crossed her arms. She can’t feel good that she indirectly refused to be her servant some time ago. Judging by the grinning expression of her, it seems that I came out to watch because I thought it was good when I was in a situation where I was about to become porridge.
Stella approaches her brother her.
“Brother. It’s not fun because when Bellick goes out, he quickly wins, right? Why don’t you stick with people of similar age?”
“What? Hehe. I think that would be fun too. Bellick. Give the apprentice knight under you a chance.”
“I will do that. Treon! Grab a wooden sword from the training stand!”
“Yes!”
At Bellick’s cry his, Treon, who was called his apprentice knight his, picked up his wooden sword and came forward in front of me.
A young face of about 17, similar to mine, but the raised eyes don’t look very good-natured.
Most of the apprentice knights were sword users, that is, those who had not yet mastered the aura and were in the middle of honing their swordsmanship. . Most of the low-level swordsman adventurers were also sword users, so the apprentice knights were roughly at that level.
Well, is there a difference in skill?
“Then start!”
Treon nodded at Bellick’s gesture, then raised his wooden sword and spoke to me in a voice so quiet that others couldn’t hear it.
“Kick kick. Do not resent me.”
No, ma’am
Seeing Treon looking down at me from the start, all my thoughts about Genie and Mane disappeared. Even the lower end of the lower ranks ignore me like this, so even I feel a bit disrespected.
“Ha!”
– Tadak! Right!
Treon slashed at me with a textbook-like motion. As this is my first sparring since the cathedral, I am alert and alert by blocking his attack first.
I blocked all of his attacks by turning the wooden sword around. At this, he put a question mark on his face and showed a puzzled expression.
However, it is Treon who still takes the lead in the attack.
When I couldn’t overpower the servant, he bit his lip and attacked me with a random swing of his sword.
‘You come in so honestly. It reminds me of the first time I was dogged by McAllen.’
Even though her attacks her are n’t visibly fast or powerful, if she’s tracing an honest trajectory like that, there’s a way to block them anyway. If you were afraid of a continuous rush, you could just step back.
“Hot!”
Treon tried to slash me down with all his might with a slash attack that drew a long parabola, as if he didn’t want it.
However, as his movements increase ignorantly, even for a moment, his loopholes are captured. I watched Chui calmly while blocking the attack, then quickly dodged his downward attack to the side.
And…….
– Right!
“It’s great…… !”
As I swung the wooden sword obliquely and cut off his sword his, Treon, who had gathered all his strength his at once, let go of his wooden sword in vain.
The apprentice knight was subdued with just one attack.
“Hey, I won.”
Darren’s face hardened at my words.
“What a fool……. Pick up the sword and come back.”
Bellick, who was watching Treon from a distance, said that while frowning at him.
– Sin, sorry. Stop being careless.
– What an idiot! How dare you disgrace me and the Sogongjanim’s face. I’ll have to think about your excommunication.
At those words, Treon, who had grown pale, lowered his head and could not bear to lift his face.
While Bellick kept whispering something while feeding his apprentice the kusari, Darren gently gave him a chin gesture and gave him a silent gesture. And Bellick, seeing that, exchanged glances with Daren, then walked towards me with a big smile on his face.
“Heh, okay, okay. It seems like you learned some swordsmanship somewhere. This time you’ll be teaching me yourself, so you’re in luck. Are you ready?”
“Ah, yes.”
The picture is pretty ugly, but…. Are you still going to lose it?
A confrontation with an expert that I had in case.
It’s not often that you end up with an official article like this.
I was thinking in my head, ‘Can I win at this level?’ In the past, his body was small and he fought while dodging, but now his muscles are firmly attached and his power his has increased significantly.
“Come first.”
Bellick didn’t care, so he told me to try first. It seemed like he wanted to take some time off, but as he wished, I swung a wooden sword and stormed out.
Surely he must have been an expert, Bellic’s swordsmanship had its own system. He was the one who rolled his eyes and deflected my attacks one by one, and then stabbed them quickly with the same tempo.
Shashak!
“… Look at this kid?”
Bellick making an absurd expression.
If it hadn’t been for a brisk sparring with the Paladins, he would have experienced tremendous pain in his shoulder blades because he couldn’t block the stab.
However, in repeated mastery, his attack patterns also felt familiar.
Unless there is a vast difference in skill with the opponent, of course there is almost no way the confrontation will end with a single blow.
Usually, if you achieve a tie, you quickly figure out your weakness or poke a psychological loophole while competing against each other. . If there was a difference in weight class like me or Bellick, it was the scheduled procedure to stamp me with that superior basic skill.
However, I am fighting on an equal footing against Bellick.
Of course, he focuses on blocking from the middle, but he feels that his attacks his are getting simpler as time goes on.
– Tttadak. Right! Tadak!
“Gee, fuck….”
Bellick, very displeased with the situation in which we were competing, tried to finish me off quickly using brute force, but I was not pushed back either. I tightly gripped the handle of his wooden sword with both hands and calmly received all of his fierce attacks.
Right now, I am using one of the basic techniques that McKellen told me to use against monsters, which is to quickly place the weapon on the line of movement where the blow is expected to reduce the repulsive force.
If you defend against a powerful attack in a passive position, the wrist holding the weapon may be damaged.
I don’t know much about monsters, but this is a technique that I have a good understanding of when it comes to reducing people’s strength.
“… Hoo-wook. Whoa….”
As he exhaled heavily, his face almost turned red and blue. Even though they throw away their pride from time to time and poke holes in them, I somehow block all of them, so the heat won’t spread.
Rather than that, is this kid a bitch?
It was me who began to seriously think about whether I would win if I gnawed my teeth and attacked.
“……… Hehe. Quite….”
Stella looked at me from a distance, his eyes twinkling.
The same goes for other people’s eyes.
The servant who ran away is showing an amazing performance against the expert where he learned swordsmanship. Everyone’s attention was focused on what seemed to be interesting.
Except for Darren.
“………………….”
Darren looked at the sparring scene with an uncomfortable expression, and then rolled his eyes with a cold gaze and stared at Bellick. It’s as if he’s asking what are you doing right now.
Bellick, noticing the gaze of his, gnashed his teeth so small that others could hardly recognize him.
Who pays the salary and makes it a favorite?
He had just brought up the issue of excommunication about the apprentice knight, but now he was in danger of being in the same situation.
“It was pretty well blocked, but that’s it.”
Bellick seemed to sense a sense of danger in his current painting his, and he slowly started blowing mana into his wooden sword his.
He caused an aura to the sword, albeit slightly.
“Oh… !”
Taaak!
And his attack his, rushing in again, was different from the attack I had blocked so far. His fingers were all tingling from the pressure of different levels.
Cowardly foul…… !
In fact, I might be able to defeat him if I strengthen my body with the divine power management method I learned from the saintess. But he showed a lot even now, and I thought this was enough.
Above all, the number of audiences increased, and I noticed that someone was watching.
“Ah!”
“Hehe. Yes, you should pay more attention! Holding the sword tight like that…… ! Originally, swordsmanship is learned like this.”
Puck puck… !
In the end, Bellick beat me to the ground with a wooden sword. Numerous sword strikes hacked my body and swept away my flesh.
There really was no torture.
Dump!
“This…. Was it a bit harsh?”
“Not like that. Sometimes, when I’m sparring, this kind of thing happens……. Kick kick.”
“I guess so, right?”
Bellick glanced up at his master his, and only then did Daren smile contentedly at me as I collapsed into a puddle. And then….
“…… Everyone. What are you doing?”
A rich woman in an aristocratic dress.
Baroness Trisha entered the gymnasium accompanied by her maids.
“Ugh……. Ma, ma’am…….”
Trisha looked back and forth between me and Bellick, who lay tattered in the sand, and her lips her quivered. She immediately glared at Darren with her characteristic piercing eyes. Stella had been sneaking away from the moment she entered her gymnasium.
“Darren. What is this doing? Why is my servant lying here?”
“Ah, mother. This……….”
Darren shrugged her shoulders and hugged her moderately.
“She was just watching when she saw Bellick sparring with this guy. But my article……. Hmmm, that sure sounds a bit rough. I was about to dry it soon though. Bellick!”
“Yes. Little Gongja.”
“I will punish you severely. To go in and wait. Mother, are you okay now?”
Trisha looked at Darren trying to slip away like her snarl her, and she put on a puzzled look. This time, she looked at the old house owner, and he too said, ‘It is true that this child wants to learn self-defense as well, but she wants to learn it first… ‘ … ‘ She bowed her head cautiously.
That is, there is a reason.
“Whoa…. That’s it. Darren, we will continue this story later at dinner.”
After the main figures of the baron family defended Daren, she couldn’t help but put on a tired expression. The baroness gave Darren a quick glance, then she opened her lips to her servants.
“Move this child for now.”
“Yes, madam.”
