Episode 62

When Xian returned with Erze, the high orcs who had invaded the garrison had already been sorted out.

Of the 50 that attacked, only about a dozen were able to escape.

This was a big win.

The injured students, including Xian, were laid in a large tent for the injured.

After receiving simple treatment from the normal students, Xian fell asleep.

I slept through the whole day like that.

“Haam.”

Xian yawned and woke up.

A tent full of the unique spicy herbal scent. With a pressure bandage firmly fixed from his shoulder to one arm, he stood up.

It was early morning, so all the other injured people were sleeping.

Gulp.

After quenching his thirst with the water bottle by his bedside, he let out a deep sigh.

Then, first of all, I checked Ravi’s condition.

Ravi’s abilities he had acquired so far were quite numerous.

The stamina recovery ability that I had from the very beginning. And the black sword, the spear, and the sword wheel.

There were already four of them, but this time there was one more sword obtained by absorbing the power of the baby Orc.

‘If you think about the character of the guy… … Are you a prisoner of a mountain of garbage?’

The characteristics of various demons from Psyche passed through my mind.

It wasn’t accurate because he didn’t fight directly, but for now, the most likely guess was that he was a prisoner of the garbage mountain.

And the sword obtained by defeating him.

[ Sword Spirit (劍靈) – Secret Sword (飛劍) ]

A sword named Big Sword.

He took out his secret sword.

The black sword grew longer. To be exact, the handle was still the same, but only the sword body had increased by nearly 1.5 times.

A long blade with a light green color and a white cloth fluttering at the end of the handle.

The ability of the sword, as the name suggests, was a sword that could fly.

‘Ravi.’

He called Ravi.

‘Ravi, try flying.’

‘Ugh?’

Xian said that, but Ravi just tilted his head.

I heard that what are you talking about all of a sudden?

Xian frowned for a moment.

You probably know how to fly. Because it’s already acquired.

It’s just that I’ve never flown before, so my body subconsciously rejects it.

yes it is difficult

Xian got up from his bed, put the secret sword on his palm, and lifted it high.

‘yes!’

What kind of game do you think it is? I could feel Ravi laughing and being happy.

Then, with a swish, Xian removed his hand.

‘right-!’

Ravi, who had lost the floor, fell in fright.

Xi’an’s own hard line.

If you can’t fly and fall, there’s no problem. It wasn’t a sword that would break if it fell from this height, and there was a blanket in the first place.

Of course, if this doesn’t work, I’ll raise it higher.

‘Boo… … yes?’

Fortunately for Ravi, however, he succeeded in coming to mind at once.

Just before touching the futon, it frailly stopped in the air.

Once it came to mind, that height was enough.

Realizing that he could fly, Ravi flew higher.

‘yes!’

Soon, I saw a guy flying around the tent excitedly.

Boom bung bung.

The flying shape was similar to that of a bee rather than a bird’s flight.

Good thing.

Because it meant more freedom to fly.

‘This will be quite useful.’

It doesn’t look useful as a main force, but it seems to be good for responding to various situations.

In the first place, the black sword that I use as my main force is enough.

Xian smiled in satisfaction.

Even then, Ravi was still flying around the tent.

Wriggle on the ceiling or dive on a tall ledge.

Should I take him for a walk outside later?

While watching Ravi so heartily.

‘… … .’

Suddenly, a thought passed through my head.

The smile disappeared from Sian’s face.

With a serious expression, he called out to Ravi.

‘Ravi.’

Ravi stopped flying and landed lightly in Xian’s hand.

Xian came out of the tent with the secret sword still in his hand.

The quiet air of dawn greeted him.

Xian looked at the sword with a serious expression.

Then.

Poof!

threw a sword into the air.

“Ugh!”

Ravi flew here and there, probably because it was outside.

Leaving him alone, Xian looked at a tall tree behind the tent.

A tree that looks perfect for a target.

Looking at that, Xian sent his thoughts to the flying Ravi.

[ Sangcheon Sword – Island ]

Right after that, a sword light flashed from the air.

The morning passed and the sun rose.

When daytime came, the mercenaries who had left the fort attack returned.

They were very surprised to see the mess of the garrison.

“How did this happen!”

“What happened!? What about students? Are you all right!?”

Instructor Tail and the students explained what had happened to them, who were frightened and surprised.

On the other hand, Xi’an had been in the woods outside the tent since dawn and hadn’t come out.

There, he was devoted to training.

I didn’t move my body because I had a shoulder injury, I just focused on training my aura.

‘It’s definitely much stronger than before.’

A black aura rises from his hand.

I could feel it just by looking at it.

Much stronger energy than before fighting Haqsh rose up.

That’s why Xian focused more on the operation of the Aura.

Once you have attained enlightenment, you should not be content with it.

The process of not letting go of that realization, constantly contemplating it, and digesting it as one’s own was important.

And another realization I felt during the battle.

‘It seems better to spread my energy wider and bigger than to compress it.’

As the sun goes down, the veil of night covers the sky.

I felt that training in that direction was the right direction.

It was something that deviated from the common sense that an aura becomes stronger when it is compressed, but there was no delusion.

He was a man who trusted his own senses more than the common sense of the world.

In addition, I tried to melt the energy of the elixir remaining inside the body with a stronger energy.

A solid aura the size of a thumb, smaller than before.

But it failed.

Even with the stronger energy, it didn’t even melt.

It doesn’t matter.

If this doesn’t work, you just have to find a new way.

―Accumulating failures is the fastest way to success.

One of the many things he learned from Yeomno.

He wasn’t afraid to make mistakes.

Knowing that it will make you stronger.

“Sian Agrid.”

Then, someone came to the forest where he was.

It was Isaac.

“You are back.”

“Just.”

Isaac looked at Xian with his eyes wide open.

He had just come to hear about everything from Instructor Tail.

Among them, of course, Xi’an was also active.

A student who single-handedly defeated the leader of a group of orcs. The student even used an aura.

It was hard to believe, but it was impossible not to believe it.

because.

Roaring!

Even now, a black aura was rising from Xian’s hand.

And that also meant that Sian wasn’t the person Isaac thought he was.

‘If he was the rumored guy, it’s impossible to manifest an aura at that age.’

No matter how genius he is, it is impossible for him to manifest an aura if he is said to have been doing stupid things like rumors.

A state that only those who are crazy about swords can reach. that was auror

Isn’t Xian even a young age of 17?

Isaac closed and opened his eyes for a moment, then bowed his head.

“sorry.”

Xian frowned.

“What do you mean sorry?”

“It puts you in danger. If it wasn’t for you, there could have been irreparable damage.”

The garrison was attacked due to one’s carelessness.

That’s what Isaac apologized for.

Before coming here, I apologized to Instructor Tail and the other students for the same.

“The captain has no reason to apologize.”

Xian shook his head.

He had no intention of accepting an apology from Isaac.

Who would have predicted that the precious warp magic would be engraved in the ruins here.

In addition, he gained a lot from this work.

He was able to see Isaac’s aura, and risked his life against Haqshi, who used an aura higher than himself.

In the process, he gained enlightenment, and thanks to Erze’s kindness, he even acquired a new weapon called the secret sword.

He said his shoulders were a bit split, but isn’t that enough business?

Isaac slowly raised his head and looked at Xian.

“It really has changed a lot.”

“I went through that kind of accident.”

Xian answered without hesitation.

This is what I always say to people who point out that I am different from before.

He suffered a carriage accident and lost some of his memory.

Because of that, it may look very different from before.

It was a simple but effective excuse.

“okay… … . Then let’s go. Sorry to disturb you.”

Isaac turned.

There was still a lot of work to be done because the messed up garrison had to be cleaned up.

“It’s not a matter for me to interfere, but I’ve been thinking that you’re not suitable to be the successor to the Sword King.”

He spoke one last time before leaving the forest.

“I see now that it is different. There must be a reason why the Sword King made you his successor instead of Chesha.”

Leaving only those words behind, Isaac left the forest.

Xian, who was left alone, only smiled bitterly.

He is himself who only wants to get out of the family, let alone a successor.

* * *

“wow! Is this guy the hero!”

“Because it is! Wow, who would have known that a classmate could use an aura!”

“okay? Are you really using Aurors at that age? I can’t believe it.”

“Because I really saw it. That high orc was also a guy who used an aura, but since Xian was quick, it just… … .”

On that day, mercenaries and students were noisy all day long.

Xian became a hot topic among them.

Because he was the one who beheaded the captain of the high orcs who invaded the garrison.

Fortunately, there were no injuries, but no fatalities, and no one was seriously injured to the point of being disabled.

That’s why the garrison, even though it was messed up, had a festive atmosphere.

A large fire is lit in the middle and a party is held with the remaining food and alcohol.

The conversation that came and went was mainly their own saga.

The saga of mercenaries, the saga of students.

Xian quietly left the place.

Then he came to the shade of a tree in the back.

“You always look out for me.”

There, Ergé was squatting, watching the mercenaries and students holding a festival.

Xian looked at her.

Her eyes, originally black, turned red for some reason.

I asked if she had suffered anything while fighting the prisoner in the garbage mountain, but she just shook her head.

In the end, I didn’t know why it happened.

“Why don’t you go and join in too.”

“are you okay. I haven’t done anything.”

“Nothing was done. If you hadn’t caught that baby orc, it could have done a lot of damage.”

“Because it is not. He wasn’t even that strong.”

Not like that.

Considering the amount of energy that entered Ravi, the prisoner of the mountain of garbage had about the same energy as a Dark Eater.

If there was another enemy at a similar level to the Dark Eater at the time when the high orcs were destroying the garrison.

To be sure, the situation could not have been rectified without death.

“Would you like to go and brag with the kids? Doesn’t it matter if your performance isn’t known?”

The Ergé he knew had a passive personality, but still wanted to be noticed by others.

A characteristic of her lack of presence. Because of that, he hated himself for being easy to forget.

So, why not take advantage of this opportunity?

If you publicize your achievements and go further, if you build up achievements that are widely talked about.

One day, she too will be able to become an unforgettable existence.

“huh… … .”

At Xian’s words, she trailed off.

She remembered the time she fought the baby orc.

When time seemed to stop for a moment because of realization.

That time when my body didn’t move as if it was frozen.

There was a landscape passing by her eyes.

A pure white world covered in snow and ice.

There, the figure of a person wearing a white cloak and walking in modest clothes.

[The reason why I take up a knife in this cold world. ]

[One ray of warmth was enough. ]

She buried her face in her arms and turned her head slightly.

There was Xian watching the festival while leaning against a tree.

An image of Xian formed in her red eyes.

“I don’t need it, now.”

If only there was one person to find me.

Swallowing back the words, she smiled a little.
