Chapter 718 – Thursday, Week 8 (9)
“Lauren gave me an undeserved position… I don’t know what to do either. I will work hard.”
“…The governor is a great man. He must have entrusted it to Fa Wen-kun, since he has the ability.”
It felt like I was hearing positive things about Lauren for the first time. After hearing only her gossip about her Lauren, Marei grabbed Nagisa’s hand as she felt something startled when she heard her praise for the first time.
“It may require a lot of responsibility, but the governor’s eyes are accurate. He might be clumsy at first, but he’ll be able to do it right away.”
“Thank you.”
Nagisa let out a small laugh. She was thankful that there were people who spoke positively about Lauren.
“Everyone makes mistakes at first, so please don’t be pressured and work hard.”
“Yes? Ah yes…”
As Marei, it meant thanking her for telling her nice things about Lauren, but seeing as Nagisa was looking down at her with very kind eyes, it seemed like there was a misunderstanding between her. Marey smiled bitterly.
“Looks like you’ve had enough rest, so let’s start again.”
Of course, I immediately became teary-eyed at Professor Nagisa’s harsh class.
She was the first Marey to touch a sword when she came to Valter, but her understanding was too great to not know that her family’s swordsmanship, which Lauren had taught her, was far from the rest. Although it cannot be said that it is entirely her own talent.
“Have you seen Lord Lauren’s sword, Parwen-kun?”
Her muscles were screaming. It was really limiting. Marey gritted his teeth, not because it was exhausting or tiring, but because his muscles were being pulled tight. She seemed to be about to scream.
Nagisa let out a long sigh as she looked at her broken wooden sword. Doesn’t she even have the energy to answer? Seeing Marey slowly nodding her head, she continued her words.
“That is not human swordsmanship.”
Nagisa’s hands were shaking. It wasn’t like fear. However, it was only a reward for not spilling her excessive strength and blocking it.
“It must be accurate to say that swordsmanship is not for humans.”
Her talent is top notch. You have to teach her her own martial arts to know exactly, but her growth rate and understanding of swords were a talent that could be known even at a glance.
“I remember talking about the knight’s sword. It is not a sword for killing humans, but a sword for catching monsters that can be called out-of-standards that are many times larger than humans.”
Nagisa didn’t take her eyes off her own wooden sword, which had been crushed from her midsection at her strangely bursting laughter.
“Among them, the Parwen family’s swordsmanship is unique. If you block it, it cuts, and if you brush it, it crushes it… Fence. No, I don’t know if you can call it swordsmanship, but it was captured with a sword.”
It was momentary, but I felt like I saw Lauren. Her face flushed red from how much she had strained her body, so she let out a long sigh as she looked at the boy who had turned dark.
“With that body… No, I think it’s accurate to say that it’s still inappropriate for Parwen-kun. It is a swordsmanship that guarantees the strength that a human body can handle. It is a movement based on durability that humans cannot endure.”
Nagisa let go of her wooden sword. As it landed on her floor, her wooden sword, with only her handle remaining, split her in half.
“The warrior’s sword is a grotesque sword that even knights who masterfully handle mana would get sick of if they followed it. It is a sword that destroys itself and twists and cuts through itself, leading to a one-hit death.”
“Very… It hurts.”
Marey braced himself for his slowly recovering body. After all, the bloodline of the warrior is bloodline. Or not…
“Of course, this is a common story. If you look at Parwen’s unusual resilience and strength, if you get used to it for a few years without overdoing it, you will be able to use the family sword skillfully.”
After recalling Lauren’s sword, Nagisa began to wonder if the boy in front of her could imitate him. A sword that cannot be blocked or spilled. I had to dodge. If you shed the sword that draws naturally without knowing how cool it is, your whole body will be ripped off with the blade.
“…Professor Nagisa, have you ever fought with Loren-sama?”
“I know that the word fight is a word that can be established only when the ‘levels’ match each other. When I was recruiting a swordsmanship professor, all I had to do was exchange swords a few times to check my skills.”
“Is Lauren-sama strong?”
“Yes.”
Nagisa nodded his head as if it were natural.
“We are of different races, but we respect you as a swordsman.”
I don’t know what being a swordsman means to the existence of Lauren de Parwen. Nagisa shook her head to erase her thoughts. Right now, the boy in front of me had priority.
“Is there any uncomfortable place?”
It was a movement that would not be strange even if the ligaments were torn. Even if the tendon was torn, there was nothing strange about it. Nagisa touched the boy’s body and asked several questions, but to her surprise, she couldn’t help but laugh in dismay at the fact that there was only muscle pain left.
“Yeah, not really… A little bit of muscle tension… I like it.”
Perhaps unconsciously, Nagisa was checking Marei’s arms and shoulders while holding her body close to her. Marey held her breath for a moment because of her scent of mature womanhood. What does she think of a married woman with a child.
Not a mad dog. Marei struggled to take her eyes off Nagisa. White neckline, sweaty body, sharp eyes, darker than Lee Ha-woon. No, it seemed as if a smell, incomparable to that of a married woman, that could only be named because it was inexplicable, was coming from her body.
“Have you ever received an elixir or a procedure from your family?”
“Yes? Not sure… ?”
Nagisa let out a small moan. When she checked it herself, she was only more surprised. She was like a newborn baby. If she was born in a samurai family on the east continent, what kind of warrior would she have become? The boy had a talent that sent chills down his spine just by imagining it.
What would have happened if there had been a boy like this in her hometown. It was obvious that it would become the eye of a bloody storm. In the East Continent, the future in which the blinded old monsters rushed was looming.
Well, it would be an absurd situation for this boy to use a sword himself, so I was overly worried. Professor Illien said that he has a tremendous talent for magic. I heard rumors that Ravella de Parwen, the director of the Inspection Bureau, is a monster who can do anything.
“Sorry.”
“Yes?”
“No.”
Nagisa shook his head.
Compared to Nagisa, Lee Ha-woon’s class was spacious and felt like play. Of course, it was also because she had little time to spare for her classes because she often tasted the sticky flesh of her snarky married woman teacher, but…
“After stretching, I will take a 10-minute break and then look at the basics again.”
The East Continent’s swordsmanship teacher, who knew her own limits exactly, was training Marei thoroughly.
Marey groaned and loosened the muscles that felt stiff, and the door of the dojo opened roughly as she was shaken by the sweet temptation of skipping class for a while during the exam period.
“Mom… ?”
Unlike the door that opened vigorously, a cute little mumbling voice unique to a child resounded. A little boy with big blue-black eyes and black hair that resembles himself. She was Professor Nagisa’s daughter. Was her name Lily?
“Lily… Ha…”
Nagisa let out a long sigh, covering her face with one of her hands.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Parwen. I’m in class… “
Nagisa blushed as if she had no respect for her.
“Lily! Didn’t her mother tell her not to come over while she was at work?”
“Hey… !”
Lily, who was approaching, hid behind Marei at Nagisa’s scolding. She was so cute that Marei carefully hugged her. Want to have children Did she think that way too much? She wondered why the child who leaned on her, frightened by Nagisa’s screams, looked so lovely.
“I’m fine, so please don’t scold me too much. Sleep, Lily. Shouldn’t it be wrong with her mother?”
“Boo… Now, I was wrong…”
Nagisa let out a long sigh. Marey patted the back of the sniffling Lily. As she whimpered to see if she remembered her and hung her arm around her neck, Marei soothed the child with awkward gestures.
“Lily, who brought you here?”
“Brother Jubalen…”
When Jubalen’s name came out, Nagisa’s face contorted for an instant. She immediately returned to her expressionless face, and the look of contempt and hatred she had just seen seemed like a lie.
“Didn’t your mother tell you not to be friends with Juballen?”
“That, but… Jubalen oppa buys me delicious things… Take me where Lily wants to go…”
“Lily!”
Nagisa shouted loudly. Lily clung even harder to Marey, her body shaking. It was no good for her to meddle in other people’s household affairs, but when she saw the little girl clinging to her, she couldn’t get past her.
“Professor Nagisa… Calm down a little…”
Nagisa glared at herself with her murderous eyes. Involuntarily, Marey took a step back.
“…Sorry. Emotions ran high.”
Nagisa apologized with her fists clenched. Speaking of Juvalen, she seemed to be that person who was forcibly engaged to Selene senior. She seems to have even pretended to be friendly with Professor Nagisa last time around.
“Lily stay over there until her mother’s class is over. I’m going to get scolded very loudly today. I am reflecting.”
“Yes, yes…”
She wanted to defend Lily when she sobbed, but because she had once experienced Nagisa’s vicious warning, Marei couldn’t say anything, so she had no choice but to carefully put Lily down.
Her shoulders drooping and her step towards a corner of her dojo from the back seemed like she was seeing herself before Baltaire came, so Marei couldn’t take his eyes off it easily.
