Chapter 121 – Chapter 13

“Sueuu-“
“Whoa-“

Kai Sent slowly approached the bare-handed knight and tried to find a gap in his opponent.

Sensing that the knight’s eyes glaring at him lost focus for a moment, Kai Sent suddenly jumped out with his big toe as an axis.

However, the knight, who deliberately pretended to lose concentration, was quickly stabbed with his knee.

Even a single hit would shatter his face, but Kai Sent gave strength to his ankles and toes and changed them in a diagonal direction.

“Ugh!”
“Hot!”

Since he was a knight trained under Akina, he did not collapse because his ankle was kicked, but he lost his balance.

Taking advantage of that opening, he burrowed into the knight’s side, piercing the opponent’s defenses and striking him with his elbow.

“Heuk!”
“There!”

The knight whose side was hit was knocked out, and Akina, who was in charge of the referee, stopped fighting because the situation was a win or loss.

“Come get treated.”
“Cool! Yes, yes…”

After sparring, the knight went to the infirmary where the clergy and wizards were standing by in the fortress to recover from the injury to his side.

“Isn’t that the skill the lord just taught you?”
“What is it, that kid? Where did you learn it, did you pretend you didn’t know?”

After teaching him how to inject mana into his muscles to strengthen them, Kai Sent used the power of his toes to minimize his movement and charge, winning the fight.

That’s why the knights learned the skill elsewhere and pretended not to know until Akina informed them, a reasonable suspicion was raised.

However, as she directly spread her skills to Kai Sent, Akina, who knew the truth about her, became engulfed in her troubles.

‘What about this? At this rate, I think I’ll have time to spare even if I give up all my money.’

His muscles are already in the best condition, so training seems to only hinder his growth.

‘I thought it would take a considerable amount of time to digest the technique as one’s own even after learning it.’

She thought that if Kaicent was given 5 years, she could be reborn as a strong person who would make her name known to the world.
But five years was a complete mistake.

‘Five years? No, 1 year is enough for this child.’

Powerful ankle and toe strength were essential for the technique of running with minimal movement using her big toe as an axis.

I thought it would take some time to get used to since I had never made a move like this before, but after a couple of moves, Kaicent digested it perfectly as his own.

‘The learning speed is faster than when I first saw it. I was astonished at that time, but to think that my talent has developed even more…’

“Count Akina. What should I learn next?”
“For now, let’s repeat what we learned in the morning and master it.”
“You only learned two skills?”
“Still, repetition is necessary.”
“Yes…”

Kai Sent wondered if she needed repeated mastery of such a simple skill, but since she had learned skills that Lillian and Priscilla couldn’t teach, she thought it was so and had to move on.

Akina went out of her training ground with the words that she would go around the estate business and patrol for a while because she had a mission as a lord.

-Looking at Akina-sama’s eyes and expression, it seems that she is more talented than expected and is trying to buy time.-

Artemis emphasized once again that his genius is not common to Kaicent, who tilted his head.

-Still, what Akina-sama said is not wrong. Mastering a skill perfectly and using it are two different things.-
‘But it’s boring.’
-I’ll relieve that boredom.-

She decided to give Kaicent practice close to actual practice rather than repetitive training so that he wouldn’t be bored repeating the techniques he knew.

-Please hand over control of the master’s bio device to me.-
‘Huh.’

Artemis controlled Kaicent’s device and instantly created a new program in 10 seconds.

-Completed.-
‘What is this?’
-Try it.-

When I ran the newly created program, numbers that were only visible to Kaicent began to emerge.

And the moment the number reached 0, I could see a human form unified in one color from head to toe and with a certain number attached to its head holding a sword and attacking it.

Of course, because he knew that this was a hologram using a device, Kaicent didn’t scream unsightly, but something attacked, so he reflexively threw himself away.

– You shouldn’t avoid it like that. You have to hit it back with a helix flow.-
‘Ah.’
– Master tends to avoid unconditionally when an enemy suddenly attacks. It’s good to dodge, but the problem becomes worse when you allow the enemy to pursue you. With Helix Flow, you can defend and counterattack at the same time, rather than avoiding.

When the hologram came closer and attacked again, he used Helix Flow to parry the opponent’s attack and counterattack.

The counterattacked hologram disappeared as it was, but a hologram was created again this time.
This time, it wasn’t a sword, it was an opponent with a spear.

-Unlike reality, you cannot feel the power of a hologram, so combat power is displayed on your face. As the difficulty level increases, it is designed to have stronger and more diverse opponents with different weapons.
‘Huh. Thanks, Artemis.’

Kai Sent grabbed his wooden sword for training and counterattacked by slashing the spear of a hologram with a combat power of 2.

After that, holograms with various fighting powers appeared at random, and Kaicent counterattacked after using the power of Helix Flow to parry or block the opponent’s attack.

As the difficulty level went up, the increase in combat power increased, and as the numbers increased, they even attacked from the left and right.

“Hey, that kid.”
“What is it? Shadow training?”
“It’s moving as if the real enemy is right in front of you.”

Shadow training is a method of training by creating a virtual enemy in your imagination.

Of course, since enemies are created through imagination, those who are not skilled in this method can create only simple and rigid virtual enemies.

However, Kaicent was doing shadow training so vividly that even the viewer could feel it.

“You can see the air currents of Helix Flow distort the surrounding air.”
“How can you do shadow training while controlling that kind of power?”
“Have you done shadow training already? How can you show such vivid movements?”

Kaicent is showing realistic movements to the extent that even knights who have undergone shadow training are amazed.

Unaware that it was thanks to Artemis’ virtual training program, they had no choice but to admit that Akina’s eyes were not mistaken when he saw the Helix Flow being used close to actual combat.

“Tch. I don’t like it. Something like an insect.”
“Hey, don’t let that sound go to the Count’s ears.”
“I know!”

However, there were knights who did not even know where they came from, monopolizing Akina’s favor, and when she showed such a talent, she showed jealousy.

Normally Kaicent would have been stunned by his outright hatred and jealousy, but he was busy training with a training program now.

The more mana you pour into Helix Flow, the greater the consumption of concentration to handle power.

Nevertheless, rather than reducing and increasing the inner energy according to the enemy’s level, he was using Artemis’ training program to the highest difficulty level, controlling the airflow by releasing the inner energy strongly from the beginning.

Like normal knights, Akina returned after a period of time to the extent that the airflow disappeared long ago due to lack of concentration.

‘This could buy me some time… Huh? That one?’

Having envisioned a way to buy her time as well while training her kai cent, what she witnessed was her vivid shadow training as if there were enemies in front of her eyes.

‘It’s not shadow training.’

However, through Kaisent’s movements and the flow of her eyes, she could tell that it was not shadow training, but real enemies appearing and disappearing in front of her eyes repeatedly.

The problem is that they can’t see it.

“Hey.”
“Yes, Count.”
“That kid, how long have you been training?”
“After the Count left, we continued until now.”
“Until now…”

She said that the time she went was about an hour.
During that time, did you train while controlling such a strong air current?

‘I’m very focused, but I’m remembering how my body controls air currents. A skill I learned less than a day ago… !’

Learning the technique and knowing the body is a matter of beating.
I made him master it repeatedly to buy time, but he’s already reached this level!

‘As expected, if I train this child in a normal way, even the family’s vision will be stolen.’

I wonder if it would be okay if she didn’t teach me, but she couldn’t stand her greed.

As Akina gradually moved her body and wielded her sword as if she were dealing with an enemy of high difficulty, I was looking forward to what the result would be after this training.

*                           *

“Did you like your lunch?”
“Yes.”

Kai Cent, sweating from her morning training, mastered the Helix Flow and her toe-axle lunge technique as her own.

As Akina dined with such Kaicent, she showed everyone her affection for him.

“Unfortunately, I can’t give you time for the training of the captain and vice-captain in the afternoon.”
“Then I can’t help it.”

Kai Sent, who prefers everyone to be strong together rather than only being strong himself, began to think about what to do in the afternoon.

“So I’d like to spend the afternoon here.”

Akina, who had moved somewhere with Kaicent, opened the door to a building that was a bit far from the rest.

“Wow!”

When he saw the inside of the building, he exclaimed as if he had found a great treasure.
This is because a library lined with at least thousands of books was spread out in front of my eyes.

“Lee Jong-in, you absolutely lack information about this world. Even if you hear from other people, that information is limited.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“So, in the afternoon, build up your knowledge here. The first floor has information close to common sense, the second floor has novels, and the third floor has various knowledge that cannot be easily learned.”
“Then can I learn magic too?”
“Of course. It’s up to you to decide what to learn first, but I recommend learning the knowledge of our world as much as possible. Since you have a look that’s almost the same as ours, people won’t think you’re a different species if you learn basic common sense.”

For Akina, it was very sad that such a genius child had to be discriminated against for being of a different species.

“And if you want to find a woman named Dang Seol-yeong, you have to know what kind of demon realm she is in.”
“Thank you so much, Count Akina. I’ll repay you for this favor no matter what I do later!”

It was enough for her to see the cute little boy, who came up just above her own waist, clenching her fists in her dainty.

‘Ah~! Why are you so cute! Is he really a son-in-law or what, should I just adopt him as an adopted son!?’

My daughters do not cling to me warmly just because their hair has grown thicker.
However, if it were Kaicent, she would have a cute appearance even when she grew up, and she would act like ‘Mother’.

“Oh, sometimes the second one comes to the library. I introduced you to my daughters, so if you meet by chance later, talk.”
“Yeah~ But can’t we just meet up with the noonas?”
“That…The first one is too timid, and the second one is too big of a personality… In addition, each of them has their own work to do, so it must be difficult to make time for them.”

Still unable to speak about her Daryl son-in-law, she excused herself appropriately.

‘If I told you that I was planning to take you as my son-in-law, you’d be burdened. My daughters are still angry. Let me introduce you when the anger subsides.’

“If you get bored reading books, you can visit my castle. Your card allows you to visit all but the most important facilities.”
“Thank you, but I like to read.”
“Sure? I’ll be back around evening.”
“Yes~”

Akina, unable to control her desire at Kai Sent’s bright smile, bent down on her knees and stroked her hair.

“Hee hee. It tickles me.”

Kai cent, who is bigger than the average adult, smiles as if he is happy to stroke her hair.

Until now, the memory of children who were scared and cried when she approached her became traumatic, and a smile was unknowingly drawn into her Kaicent’s smile.

She said, ‘No matter how hard she tries, she can never be as cold as this kid. My daughters weren’t like this either…’

Having controlled her desire to love Kai Cent like this all her life, she put her regret behind her and moved on to train Lillian and Priscilla.

Left alone in such a vast library, Kai Sent could not hide her excitement at the treasure trove of her knowledge.

‘First of all, the information about the demon world!’
-To find a woman named Seolyeong Dang. She’s honestly looking forward to it a lot. What kind of person is she to change the timid and introverted master like this.-
‘If I see Artemis, I’ll be satisfied.’

The books were sorted by shelf, so I went looking for a shelf related to topography.

When she arrived at the bookshelf related to world geography, Kai Sent quickly began to flip through the books.

‘Artemis. Are you recording everything?’
-Yes. No problem.-

If she had been acquiring knowledge normally, she would have just read each book carefully, but in her limited time, she had to find information related to the establishment of the party, so Kai Sent had her device scan the contents of the book.

After scanning hundreds of books at once, he took a chair, went into the dimensional warehouse, and began reading the scanned books in it one by one.

-Master. It is important to find Dang Seol-yeong, but it is also important for her to acquire knowledge of another world.-
“I know. Anyway, the information I know about the forest is fragmentary, so I have to read it carefully one by one.”

It was a world 10 times slower than the real world, so I was able to read the book without any impatience.

With a much higher memory and comprehension than ordinary humans, he quickly instilled the knowledge of this world into his own, ignoring useless rhetoric and using the speed-reading method of reading only the key parts of a book.

‘Wait, sister. I’ll definitely go find it.’

Kaicent, who trained stably under Akina and acquired knowledge.

He was convinced that the knowledge he would gain here would last his whole life, so he dutifully learned the knowledge while searching for information to find Tang Seol-yeong.
