My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 5. Making ropes (5)

“Come to think of it, you killed Dink.”

“… What?”

Thump!

The ground rumbles. The floor of the arena was cracked.

Yes, in this world, only S rank is not the strongest.

Because of the real facial expression management skill, I go crazy, go crazy.

Isn’t it too much to put an aura on a wooden sword? That i am weak please take a look

But I couldn’t bear to speak servilely in front of the imperial family and all the nobles.

“Whoa… ….”

First of all, let’s blow it away.

Because the body atrophied, the movement might be a bit dull.

[Activates the skill 「Living」.]

The moment I opened my eyes, Conver disappeared from my sight.

I only turn my eyes to look to the side.

There Conver was swinging his sword at my neck.

“High-speed movement.”

I moved quickly to dodge Conver’s sword.

“Ohh!”

What was thought to be a sparring battle that would end in one shot, exclaimed as if unexpectedly when it continued.

I’m really glad. Because my shoes are relics.

It was a shoe design that didn’t go well with a suit, but I couldn’t help it.

I had to wear this at least, so I didn’t take it off because I could escape in case of an emergency.

Above the arena, Conver stood where I was, and I stood where Conver stood.

Only the seats were changed.

“What a move… …. Wasn’t that a clumsy bravado? I need to do this more seriously.”

Damn it!

Perhaps he gave more strength to his legs, the arena is mercilessly broken.

Seriously, let’s take it easy. I can’t fight

Pain!

With the sound of the ground exploding, Conver’s figure disappeared.

“I can’t avoid this.”

I couldn’t even react. There was no time to shout ‘fast move’ in the movement of Conver, who was digging into the front.

Looking at the wooden sword coming through my side, I thought.

f*ck. f*cked.

At the time Prause was having trouble with sparring, Iris, Maria, and Ariel, who couldn’t attend the New Year’s party, were walking around the market and eating food.

“But Ariel.”

“Huh?”

With her chicken skewers in her mouth, Ariel turned her eyes to Maria.

“That wind blessing. What kind of magic is it?”

“Oh, that? It’s a skill that counterattacks when Prause gets a fatal attack. Although it is a one-time thing.”

“To put such a thing on Master, does Ariel worry about Master like I do?”

“What… ….”

‘Because I am weak…… I have to do that at least.’

Ariel smiled and agreed.

‘By the way, when will these kids think Prause is weak? Should I just let him know?’

Actually, everything is just equipment.

Just as Ariel was thinking her playful thoughts, Maria, who was walking alongside her, opened her mouth.

“Is Master important to Ariel?”

“Huh? Important person…… ?”

At Maria’s words, her mouth stopped at her chicken skewers. Ariel, who chewed her words over and over again, scratched her head.

“Yes. What… He is an important person.”

‘The person who connected my relationship with Phasma… …. Besides, he’s a fun person.’

Ariel grinned at the thought of Prause.

‘It’s absurd that he speaks harshly and even pretends to be strong on a subject he is weaker than anyone else. Still…… The power to handle weapons was real.’

She recalled the sight of Prause destroying a mountain.

‘I really don’t know, even though I know. Even though it seems like a person who is using mana for the first time, it feels like a person suddenly changes once in a while. It is unclear whether it is weak or strong. Of course, that’s why it’s more fun.’

“But won’t there be misunderstandings from the imperial family if I give you divine protection? She said she was using magic. According to Master, there are many talented wizards in the imperial family.”

“Ah, don’t worry about that. It’s not my mana, it’s a protection that uses Prause’s mana. So it’s hard to detect with magic. I’ve already used it on Phasma, but the palace mages didn’t recognize it.”

“You mean Phasma? Are you talking about the person who dwells in the sword?”

Iris, who had been listening quietly, interrupted the conversation.

“Yes.”

“I see. Miss Phasma said that she would learn a lot from her master, and that if there was a teacher, she would really be that kind of person.”

‘It’s funny that all the focus is on Prause. For these kids, Prause must be a lifesaver. Maybe me too…….’

“Anyway, nothing will happen. As long as I have my protection—”

Ariel couldn’t finish her words.

From noble mtl dot com

Ariel dropped the chicken skewers startled at the feeling of the divine protection being activated.

‘What? Why did Gaho suddenly…… ?’

Ariel shook her head in a cold sweat. She frowned at the imperial palace, which was built to pierce the sky.

‘Prause, what are you doing again… ….’

* * *

Quang!

“What is this…….”

Dust rose violently from one of the walls of the imperial palace.

Everyone in the room was staring at it in awe.

That was the same for me.

Because I couldn’t figure out what was going on.

“What happened…….”

“Everything, Captain!!”

The referee knight hurries down the arena.

The roaring voice of the knight intensified among the people watching the Dalian.

The dust settles and the silhouette gradually becomes visible.

I saw a limp Conver leaving a huge crater on the wall.

The wooden sword he was holding was shattered, leaving nothing but the handle.

The impact was so great that the famously hard golden armor was dented and greatly damaged.

The pauldrons on his shoulders fall helplessly.

“Keah… !”

Convert vomits blood.

“Healing Mage!”

At the words of the referee, the wizards who had been waiting in advance hurriedly ran.

I was the only one standing on top of the arena, bewildered.

“Wow! After all, Master!”

Tina cheers and praises.

Without time to listen to her praise, I explored the possibilities of what might have happened.

Apparently, right before Conver’s wooden sword touched her side, she felt something enveloping her.

What was that?

“Is this enough… ….”

“Huh, to subdue Conver so easily?”

The imperial family was looking at me in amazement, while the aristocrats had a look of fear.

They were swallowing fear, speculating that they might harm themselves.

“Even the S ranks had a hard time with Conver…….”

“I didn’t come out confidently for nothing.”

Listening to the voices coming from all directions was just embarrassing.

Because I didn’t know what had happened, I had no choice but to think about how to react.

“Is the rumor true?”

“You mean the rumor that a new 8th S-class adventurer has appeared and is beating the other S-classes?”

“I thought that would be a commoner… …. I thought you came from the Todia family.”

After listening to the chatter of the nobles for a while, I let out a sigh.

Let’s think about what happened later.

For now, avoiding this situation was the first priority.

“Is this enough proof?”

I spoke calmly with my facial expression management skill at the forefront.

After hearing my words, Chris came to his senses and nodded heavily.

“…… I just want to ask you one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Was that skill a while ago ‘power’?”

Power and Nabal.

I don’t even know what happened.

Still, it’d be better to say no than to say it’s all-powerful, to put pressure on it, right?

“If that was power, I wouldn’t have said that.”

“Such words… Ah, you mean that you can kill everyone in this place and leave leisurely?”

I never meant to say it, but I didn’t know it would connect like this.

“Seeing how you made Conver like that, you can trust that word.”

“From now on, I hope you will not say that I am not formal in what I say.”

“…… Okay. It was a promise, so do it.”

I was just about to go down the arena after finishing the tightrope walk.

“I thought it was a name I had heard somewhere. Are you not the son of Parocco?”

When Prause’s father’s name came up, my head turned around involuntarily.

“…… Uh?”

There, the Marquis of Medith, who accepted Prause’s father as his butler, was pointing at me.

Ah, come to think of it, this is where all the nobles gather…….

It was something to beat on the forehead and go crazy.

I was already at a loss as to what to explain to my father.

* * *

Dalian was said to be light entertainment, but everyone was filling the banquet hall with stories of sparring.

Of course, I was at the center of the topic.

I didn’t expect it to be this strong, and I had to send it to a place on the border with the demon realm right away.

“I didn’t expect to meet you here like this.”

Marquis Medith was a rare character in the game, so he had forgotten about it, but Prauss, the former possessor, left a warm impression in his memory.

“…… That, that’s right.”

Since he is a person who takes good care of his father, he wanted to use honorifics but couldn’t.

My facial expression management skill was not as flexible as eye mucus, nor did I notice it.

“I never thought there would be such a talented young man under Parocco.”

Fortunately, I didn’t point out the way I spoke, as if I was more impressed by defeating Conver in one shot rather than my speech.

“You said that your child would definitely grow up, as if you were eating a meal, but he really was a person who would grow up.”

“…… Thanks… all.”

Thank you, but how can I say thank you!

You don’t use honorifics until the end? Who really should try to win later?

“…… What are you planning to do later?”

“What if?”

“It is literally. With your strength, you can do anything.”

“I don’t have anything scheduled yet, but I have no intention of misusing this power.”

“I see.”

“…… I’m going to go to the bathroom for a minute.”

I took advantage of the break in the conversation and quickly left the banquet hall.

The knights flinch when they see me. The knights who were watching me hurriedly stood up and stood guard.

I glanced at them and then moved on.

“After… ah… …. Did you see that atmosphere? Are you crazy?”

“I was deliberately hiding my power, that one.”

I walked down the hallway looking for the bathroom while listening to the admiring whispers of the knights.

But here, why is it so wide?

It was around the time I was lost for a while.

“Wait a minute!”

Today, I heard the voice of a strange woman I had never heard before.

I looked back.

Contrary to his somewhat shrunken gesture, his golden hair fluttered.

That’s right. I knew you would catch me

From the moment he was mentioned, I thought he would keep an eye on me.

“…… Princess tax collector.”

It seemed like the time had finally come to use the artifacts I had prepared.
