Chapter 125 – Chapter 13

The next day, in the morning.

After eating, Kaicent headed to the training ground where Akina taught him the technique, and found that the atmosphere was more lively than usual.

‘What? Why is everyone glancing?’

Everyone is training passionately as if they want to show it to someone, but their nerves have been sold elsewhere.

When I followed the glances of the knights, there was a woman with white silver hair and cat-like eyes full of mischievous coquetry, with a slightly bored expression on her face.

‘Uh? Did you see me?’

Then, a woman noticed Kai Sent, and she was slightly surprised, then she gave a mischievous eye smile.

‘What purpose do I have?’

She smiles at herself as she puts on her bored expression towards others?
She is like saying she has a purpose to herself from the beginning.

‘It’s as my sister said. Aren’t you a very small and cute kid? It makes me want to take it to my room and try it on.’

Partisha became dissatisfied with her feeling that she was cute at the sight of Kai Sent, who had a beauty that everyone would believe even if she was a woman if she just put on a girl’s clothes right away.

‘But you’re too young and you look young.’

She admired her mother for her strong, uncompromising character, but the first thing she complained about was that she was too young.

‘You’re going to make such a small, unmanly, and weak-looking kid your son-in-law? What the hell is Mom thinking?’

On the outside, she looks timid and unreliable.

‘Did she bring someone who looks like her brains like her dad?’

Her father is from a low-class aristocrat with a good brain.

Originally, it is common to lead and manage a noble’s estate by leading various vassals, but Akina decided that administrative power was needed to revive the estate, so she dragged a man with her brain and married her.

It’s common sense for her to find a marriage partner among nobles of equal rank, but Akina’s flaws were so great that she had to marry in this way.

So, like her father, she had a reasonable suspicion that she would bring a person with good brains in advance to train her body and tell her about the estate.

“Patisya? What did you come to the gymnasium for? You said you don’t like places where you sweat like this normally?”

At that time, Akina, who came to the gymnasium, found her second daughter and approached her.

“Of course I came to see who her future son-in-law was brought by her mother.”
“It’s free to look around, but don’t disturb the other knights.”
“I know. But Mom.”
“And I told you to be formal in front of others and call her mother.”
“Ah~ How is it? We’re alone anyway.”
“Ha ha. Yeah, what’s the matter?”
“Are you really going to make a son-in-law of a kid who doubts whether he’s eating properly? Do you think I’ll win if I fight by force?”

Partisha is the only member of the Karaiden family who has become a wizard with the ideal constitution to fight both men and women.

She also has her talent as a warrior, but she avoids it because she doesn’t look pretty while fighting like that, so she naturally became a wizard.

Fortunately, she also has a talent for magic, although the level is not very high, she has risen to the level of contributing with the support of her family.

She expressed her confidence that she could easily defeat Kai Cent, even though she was not an ignorant force-fighter as a mage.

“Huh.”
“What is that smile?”
“Then watch for yourself. You’ll know at a glance why I’m greedy for this child.”

Akina finished her conversation with her words and turned to Kai Sent.

“Did you enjoy your breakfast?”
“Yes~”
“Originally, today I tried to review what I learned yesterday, but it seemed like there was no need to waste such time. The skill I’m going to learn today is called Deadly Impact.”
“!!”

At the word Deadly Impact, even the knights and Patissia who were training nearby became shocked.

They were surprised for two reasons.
The first is that it is a technology of the Karaiden family.
The second is that it is a skill that is ranked at the highest level of difficulty among family skills.

In particular, the other knights who had no choice but to accept that letting them know the skills of the Karaiden family meant that they would accept Kaicent as a member of the family, made complex faces.

‘Deadly Impact is a skill that took half a year for even my older sister, who is said to have the same talent as her mother, to learn? Besides, I’m still groaning because I can’t even use it in practice.’

Being a direct descendant of her family, Patisha, who naturally knew what technology it was, did not understand her mother’s request to fly to a child who could walk.

‘Now I’m going to whine that I can’t do it any time soon. To see a child whining in front of the knights. I don’t know what your mom is thinking?’

However, her predictions were completely reversed when Kaicent’s training began.

*                           *

Deadly Impact is a skill that concentrates mana inside the weapon and then explodes the mana while attacking the enemy, giving the same effect as two attacks with one swing.

If you have this skill, you can hit the enemy’s weapon and then apply an impact to double the impact. It can be made into, etc., And can be applied in many ways.

If you just listen to the story, ‘Isn’t it enough to explode mana while attacking?’ In fact, anyone can use this type of attack if they practice.

Nevertheless, this technology is the vision of the Karaiden family, and there is another reason why it is difficult to learn.

The strong all overlaid their weapons with mana.
Geomki, sword steel, mana blade, aura blade, each has a different name.

You fight while covering the mana like that, but you have to pay attention to the mana that will explode at any time in the weapon.

If you’re in the middle of a life-threatening fight with the enemy’s weapon, you have to put another mana inside the weapon to manage it, and if you lose even a little concentration, you can’t properly emit the explosion or explode inside the weapon, and the weapon flies.

You have to use two types of mana, and your weapon explodes if you fail because your thoughts are tangled?

A skill that is absolutely powerful once properly learned, but takes a tremendous amount of time to fully learn.

No matter how unusually genius Kaicent is, this is not a problem that can be solved by learning skills quickly.

Kwaaang!

“Ugh!?”

Akina vomited in astonishment at the explosive power of mana pushing her weapon away.

“Can I do this?”
“…”
“…”

After following Akina’s advice a few times, she sparred right away and used Deadly Impact to easily parry her attack.

“This is amazing. Even with simple calculations, the attack power doubles, and if you hold on to the weapon, the mana explodes stronger, so how to use it… Count?”

At first, Kaicent, who was delighted that he had learned a new skill, felt something strange and began to pay attention to his surroundings.

“Uh…Did I do something wrong…? I think I did what I was taught…”

Kai Sent, who could not stand the excessive stares of people he did not yet know, lowered his head and tried not to meet everyone’s eyes.

“…Kaisent.”
“Yes…”
“How did you do this?”
“Yes?”
“To use this skill properly, you have to manage both the mana applied to the weapon and the mana drained into the weapon at the same time. Combat is a highly focused fight where you have to anticipate the enemy’s movements and think in real time how to respond if you attack them. “

At Akina’s words, several knights subconsciously nodded.

There are at least dozens of cases where I anticipate the enemy’s movement, quickly anticipate how the enemy will avoid my attack, and fight.

Calculating it in seconds and dealing with two different types of mana in the middle of a fight is almost impossible.

Deadly Impact is a technique that would be absolutely impossible to use without learning prana and accelerating brain rotation.

“Uh…I just split the consciousness into two…”
“What?”
“As the Count said, we have to fight by calculating the enemy’s movements… So we divided the consciousness into two and managed them separately…”
“Split consciousness? Did you learn a special technique to split consciousness?”
“Everybody in my family said that, right?”

‘Split consciousness? Is that a skill I can barely do?’

I heard that the Murim people divide their consciousness into special martial arts, but that is the power of martial arts after all, and it is impossible to divide them without martial arts.

Anyone in Kaicent’s family can do all the skills that even those who have reached the realm of Origin can only do without learning special skills?

Until now, Kaicent had the ability to split consciousness, but he didn’t use it because he didn’t really need to use it.

In the original world, it was a timid personality that avoided fighting, so the only time I used this ability was to run multiple games.

Besides, my parents and older sisters all did it, so I didn’t even think of it as a special ability.

“…”

The trump card he deliberately brought to training for a long time ended up becoming Kaicent’s power too easily.

In addition to Akina’s talent for seeing and learning anything, and her consciousness being split, I felt a sense of fear at the sight of her casually following difficult and complicated techniques.

‘Could I… Maybe I’m creating a monster that shouldn’t exist?’

Akina expected Kaicent to learn Deadly Impact, but never imagined that he would be able to follow it perfectly after only seeing it once.

“Um…What did I do wrong…?”

Kaisent, who witnessed Akina’s eyes go erratic, became her weeping face and looked up at her abandoned puppy-like face.

‘What am I thinking! You’ve confirmed time and time again that this child isn’t the type of person who will change her mind just because she gets stronger! The stronger you become, the better it is for me and my family!’

Coming to her senses, she blamed herself for being wary of Kaicent and smiled.

“No, I didn’t do anything wrong. Shall we train in a more complicated situation this time?”
“Yes!”
“First 5 people! Come if you want to be me!”
“Yes!”

At Akina’s call, her knights began flocking to her regardless of distance.

After selecting 5 knights like that, she trained them to use Deadly Impact proficiently even though Kaicent was besieged from various sides.

Despite his small physique, Kaicent, who was not pushed by the giant knights, created gaps by cutting off the knights’ weapons with Deadly Impact.

And, that appearance gave a great shock to the party shah who was watching her from afar.

‘Deadly Impact in one day? No, not even a day. I learned it immediately on the spot.’

In addition to his genius talent for learning difficult skills at once, he is training hard without whining even when he is surrounded and attacked by several knights.

‘I think I know why Mama said she was a wild genius.’

Compared to his crazy talent, he has a soft personality and appearance.

Creepy- creepy-

At the sight, Patisha’s first thought came to her, and her whole body felt a shudder.

‘How fun it would be if such a child became my toy.’

If you get bullied, how cute would that delicate appearance turn into a crying face?

Patishia felt possessive for the first time she wanted something, and she watched as Kai Cent overpowered the five knights.

*                           *

Jinglang!

“Take it and go away.”

Kang Myeong-cheol, who had been commissioned to deal with large monsters located around the territory, was distorted when he saw the knight deliberately throwing a bag of money to the ground while on horseback.

“What is that expression? Is it dissatisfaction?”

The knight treated him with even more high-handedness.

“Go, thank you, knight! This guy is a foreigner and he’s not used to our world!”

At that time, Jericho, feeling that the atmosphere was unusual, hurriedly grabbed his pocket and lowered his head.

“Next time, you’ll have to take care of your eyes properly, Lee Jong. Let’s go.”

The knight returned to the manor with his cavalrymen following him.

“Whoa… I lived…”
“Thank god…”

The Jericho mercenaries breathed a sigh of relief as the knight stepped back gracefully.

“You shouldn’t quarrel with the knights. You never know what will happen if this species knocks the knight down.”
“Ha, fuck it. Because of these bastards who aren’t even a dick…”

Kang Myeong-cheol felt that his patience was gradually fading away.
He who saved a world and even built a kingdom, should he be treated like this?
In terms of strength alone, he is strong enough to make the emperor of the East Continent jump out barefoot?

Suppressing his bubbling anger, he grabbed Jericho as if taking a bag of money.

Rather than entrusting money to mercenaries he hadn’t learned from, he decided that it would be better for him to do it himself.

The faces of the other mercenaries slightly distorted at the sight, but he had to keep his mouth shut because they were afraid of his power.

“Huh?”

After checking the contents of the money bag, he felt something strange and turned the bag inside out.

Fixing the falling coins in the air with magic, he checked the type and number of coins and then frowned.

“Hey.”
“Yes yes.”
“Wasn’t the payment we received was 80 silver coins?”
“That’s right.”
“But why are there only 40 of them?”

In response to his question, Jericho checked the number of coins and found that there were indeed 40 silver coins.

“Fortunately, they gave me half.”
“You have more conscience than other nobles.”

The other mercenaries laugh and chatter, saying that it is rather fortunate that they were taken away this much.

“What’s the situation now?”

However, Kang Myeong-cheol couldn’t understand how they said they were glad that the money was taken away.

“That is…”

Jericho explained the situation.
It is common for nobles who treat commoners to be insignificant to pay the full amount.

In severe cases, there are cases where they are kicked out without even paying the completion fee, but it is extremely partial, and in most cases, it is said that only a partial payment is given.

The problem is that even if you do this, you can’t follow it.
If you say you received less money, you will be summarily executed for insulting aristocrats.
Mercenary Guild? If you protest against the nobility, you will be executed for contempt of nobility and treason to the state.

In other fantasy worlds, mercenary guilds acted as a breakwater to prevent mercenaries from being consumed openly, but in this world, because of the democratic ideology propagated by heterogeneous species, when mercenaries or commoners try to create their own power, all nobles flock to it and hack it to pieces. Because.

Nod-

“You dare… Me…!”

When Kang Myung-chul learned how he was treated, the limit of his patience was cut.

“Huh? Now, wait! Where…!”

Jericho instinctively tried to stop him from suddenly moving in the direction the knights left,

“Aaaaa!!”

He rushed towards the knights with an angry spirit.

“What, kuck!”
“Kreuk!”

Surprised by the sudden death, the knights drew their weapons and tried to counterattack, but they swung their swords at an unrecognized speed and cut half of their necks.

“Ah, ah! Mu, mu, what are you doing…!”

Jericho, who rode a few horses to join the mercenaries, screamed at the sight of the dying knights as his neck was half-slit.

However, Kang Myeong-cheol plundered the sword that looked good among the weapons of the knights and moved his steps in the direction the knights were going.

“Uh, where are you going!?”
“To clean up.”
“Yes?”

Around the time Kang Myeong-cheol went to another world, it became a basic trend for the main characters in genre novels to show a cider-like move.

“I can see why there is a guilt-by-association system. You think you’re going to mess with one guy and cause trouble for the others? Then why don’t we just pull them all out?”

The knights died trying to hand over their wages.
Unless you’re an idiot, you’ll be the first to put yourself on the line of suspicion.
But what if an entire noble family disappeared?

No one would have imagined that a mere mercenary would have done such a thing.

‘I am justice. You guys who dared to anger justice did something wrong!’

I came to follow the steps of the main characters of Cider Pass, but I overlooked one thing.
They either do this in secret, or they work with trusted colleagues.

He only cared about his cider-path-like moves that relied on his own emotions, and he didn’t even care about the feelings of others and took care of them as if they were natural.
