CH 36

It has been four days since I have been doping training with one pack of Ginseng extract a day.

Thanks to running hard, I gained the combined effect of four weeks of training, and Rigid Body has already reached Lv.17. My physical condition had changed a lot and I felt as if I could participate in track and field as a part of the national team and win a medal right now.

“Hehehe. It’s all thanks to the instructor’s support.”

On the fifth day of training, Agnes conducted a theory class before starting full-scale weapons training.

“Yes! Sword Master!”

“Um, well…….”

Agnes did not delay the time as if it was natural to not know.

Agnes, who embodied her ghostly form in front of me, started the demonstration. She had a twig in her hand.

Swish.

As Agnes shook the twig, a white aura of energy overlaid on the branch. It was a sword called, Aura Sword. Of course, it’s not a real sword, but an energy reinforcement.

“Beginner, Expert, Master!”

“Wow, so everything around you can become a weapon?”

The white light on the branch gradually increased in length.

“Oh, the Sword Aura is taller than me.”

Tuk.

Even though Agnes dropped a branch on the floor, the white light remained in her hands. Then I remembered the name of the weapon made of that light.

“Sword……so, Aura Blade?”

I inadvertently said wuxia martial arts terminology, but corrected it in the middle.

“Ah….”

Agnes let go of the Aura Blade, but it did not fall nor vanished.

“What?!”

The sword of light floated in the air and revolved around Agnes. Then, at some point, it stood tall and exploded into seven.

“Oh god…”

Crazy. This is the Ten Thousand Swords.

(Note: I’m so in deep-level of Wuxia termology at this point that I want to cry.)

“Wow! Sist-, no, Instructor you are so cool.”

I felt like falling in love for real. At this point, should I push Aura as my main ability instead of just divine power?

“What? Is there another after Aura Master?”

“Ah.”

(Note: The divine counterpart used is called언령-Kodama. The act of words having power. So, if you say Die, and you have plenty of divine power for it, the person dies. Proxy of God is pretty much near it.)

“Wow….”

I felt remorse from the words she added with a smile. 

The theory class ended with the seven spectacular swords disappearing.

“Yes, Instructor!”

I took out the ‘training weapon package’ I bought at the cash shop for today’s class. It was a kit containing various types of weapons such as swords, spears, bows, and whips.

Agnes, who praised my readiness, said. 

“T-the bad news?”

“Hik. The good news is?”

“…….”

“Aha.”

Nodding my head in agreement, I thought to myself.

‘The instructor is lucky too. Because….’

I checked the buff in the system window with pleased eyes.

[ ‘Blessings of high-speed growth’

The protection of the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau that raises the achievement rate of all abilities by 5 times.]

‘Because her cadet is an OP.’

It’s time to show off your true value, After-Life Insurance Benefits!

“Yes! Ya! Ya!”

[ congratulations! Basic Wood Swordsmanship Lv.2 has been achieved.]

[ congratulations! Basic Wood Swordsmanship Lv.3 has been achieved.]

Even before the 20 minutes passed, messages popped up one after another.

“Yes! Hyaa!”

[ congratulations! You have achieved Spear Lv.2.]

[ congratulations! You have achieved Spear Lv.3.]

Level up was also fast with the next one.

“Yes! Whoa!”

[ congratulations! You have achieved Archery Lv.2.]

[ congratulations! You have achieved Archery Lv.3.]

What does frustration taste like? I don’t know.

“Yes!”

[ congratulations! You have achieved Whiplash Lv.2.]

[ congratulations! You have achieved Whiplash Lv.3.]

“Hehe?”

“Instructor?”

I think it’s the best compliment I’ve ever heard. I’m so proud.

Agnes sighed and assessed me.

“Oh, then I…….”

There was a weapon I had in mind from the beginning.

Without hesitation, I chose the sword as my primary weapon and the whip as my secondary weapon.

Agnes was silent for a moment, and I waited for her reaction.

“Yes.”

“A little?”

I laughed softly.

Agnes, aware of my true intentions, seemed to smile a little, but soon changed to her serious face.

I also looked at her with a serious gaze.

“Yes.”

I’ve learned a bit about Agnes.

Agnes Azlit.

A paladin who wields a Whip-Sword that freely changes length and path according to the flow of Aura.

She was famous as a hero of the continent and a Saint of the Holy Country who stopped the ‘Ice Palace Dungeon Burst’ decades ago, from the front lines.

But even before such achievements, she was a promising aura user with unrivaled skills inside the Vatican.

Already mastering all weapons in her teens, she earned the title of Weapon Meister, and in her twenties, looking for a deeper realm in martial arts to dig into, she mastered the whip-sword and devised her own swordsmanship.

Is constantly argued that if she hadn’t died and were still alive, she might have defeated Prince Hispenril, the strongest in the current setting.

‘Maybe she would have reached the level of Soul Sword.’

It is a special sword technique made by a person who became a role model regardless of nationality. It was absolutely necessary to learn it.

“Yes. Please teach me.”

“I know.”

“Really? You promised!”

I got a chance. I gave an immediate bow.

“Thank you, Instructor!”

✠

The rewarding life of a transmigrator continued.

I pray early at dawn, lightly lap over obstacle tracks, do morning swordsmanship training, weigh herbs at the dungeon farm in the morning, craft potions in Dad’s lab in the afternoon, and train again for the rest of the day…

The time to be a playmate of the Count’s Young Lady was diminished. Bianca has also been busy with her successor classes these days.

We could only see each other for a moment in the evening, like now.

“Mr. Rodellaine and Eli’s potions are finally on display in the shop from tomorrow.”

And as always, it’s a work topic.

Gillette’s estate had three dungeons. The subjugated dungeon is always crowded with adventurers who have come to dig up resources.

The places where my potions would be delivered were the potion shops around there.

“This is the contract document. Read it.”

“Okay.”

As I took the papers Bianca gave me and looked through them, I spontaneously yawned.

Uninteresting content is also a problem, but I was really tired from continuing training even after the effects of the Ginseng extract had decreased fatigue….

“……hot!”

I came to my senses after I dozed off, but when I saw Bianca sitting across from me. 

“oh!”

“…….”

“…….”

She was doing the same.

We checked each other’s condition and laughed.

“You look very tired these days, Eli.”

“Bia. Is the successor class very difficult?”

“A little. I have a lot of homework, and I have exams every day.”

“You take exams every day?!”

“It’s okay. But it’s hard because I can’t see Eli’s face often.”

“Bia…….”

Her buzzing words did not end here.

“Would you like to sleep in my bed tonight?”
