Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 240
Episode 240 ‘How can I tell you this?’
Logan sighed and headed to his training room.
And when he saw the elderly superman already seated there waiting for him, he controlled his expression and bowed his head politely.
“It’s late, Master.”
“I know that the construction is all over, Your Majesty. Now that you have greeted me, please raise your sword.”
Instead of pulling out his sword straight away like usual, Logan hesitated a bit and then spoke with a dark expression.
“Master, I have to ask you to apologize.”
“…yes?”
The swordsman’s expression hardened slightly at the sight of Logan’s appearance, which was very different from his usual appearance.
When Logan couldn’t continue speaking with a hesitant expression, he also had no choice but to become serious.
“Please tell me anything, Your Majesty. If there is anything I can do…”
“Well… I wish I could get a little more help from Esperanza Estate.”
“…yes?”
The swordsman’s expression became momentarily blank as he closed his eyes tightly and spoke the words.
“…Have you been squeezing your budget that far?”
After hearing the explanation of the current situation, the swordsman asked back with a puzzled expression.
“Yes. It just takes one year.”
Logan himself felt like the words were spoken by a conman and was distasteful, but fortunately, the teacher nodded with a small sigh.
“Esperanza is not very wealthy either, but given the situation, there is nothing we can do. We will do our best to raise funds. But…”
“Thank you, Master.”
“…It’s inevitable that public opinion will worsen further. I’m sure you are thinking of a solution, right?”
“Once all this work is over and the harvest season begins again next year, we will be able to completely reverse the current public opinion. In addition, we will gain the power to take control of the kingdom.”
“…Please do as you say.”
“I will definitely make it happen!”
The swordsman, seeing his disciple’s burning eyes, sighed again.
We have already pledged to follow his will.
If you had decided to give strength, it was right to believe and support him until the end, but you couldn’t help but feel frustrated and put strength into the hand holding the sword.
“Good. Then, let’s start training.”
“yes.”
Sreung.
Logan sighed in relief and drew his sword.
‘If Esperanza gives me a little more help, I can last for three months. Then you’ll be able to breathe a little easier.’
A moment that touches your heart like that.
“careful!”
bang!
I was out of breath at the dizzying sword strike that exceeded expectations.
“Master Shi?!”
“Starting today, we will go even more like a real game.”
Is it an illusion that I feel like those words are filled with emotion?
Logan hurriedly increased his power with a pale face.
Training with the teacher continued after the coronation ceremony.
It had only one purpose.
‘It is important to strengthen the kingdom’s power, but superhuman power is also important. If I can’t definitely increase the number of superhumans, I have no choice but to become stronger.’
The sword shown by Tris Hornsby, which is now called the best sword in the Empire, or rather the best sword in the continent, was still vivid in my mind.
Even if he had never participated in an imperial war in his previous life, there was no telling what would happen now.
To put it to the extreme, if he could overcome that single sword, he might be able to clean up the dozen or so superhumans who trampled the kingdom during the imperial war in his previous life.
Of course, before that….
“I have a lot of distracting thoughts!”
bang!
Grumbling.
I definitely need to surpass the teacher in front of me.
Logan took a step forward, enduring the pain that throbbed throughout his body.
For a moment, his body seemed to be shaking, but then it split into two. It was a remnant that had been shown before.
The swordsman remained calm while dealing with two Logans who swung their swords in different ways.
Ugh.
“Remnants are not a technique that can be used multiple times on the same opponent!”
Logan gritted his teeth as he suddenly saw the reality and dodged his body backwards to avoid the teacher who was attacking him.
‘As expected…’
The teacher’s powerlessness is felt once again.
Only in the last round was he able to aim for a comeback with artifacts, his superhuman characteristics, and the vision of splitting life, but in sparring, he had no chance.
Even without using any special techniques, the sword that unilaterally pushed him had no gaps, and there was still a lot to learn from every little movement.
And just when I thought I was getting used to the movement.
visor!
The teacher threw away his sword and took a quick step back.
“Once you feel somewhat relaxed, try using your traits right away.”
“All right.”
Logan didn’t bother to decline.
This was because I knew that in my current state, even if I gave my all, a miracle like the spinning would never happen again.
Ugh.
The moment he made up his mind, another force core in his heart started to pop out and all his abilities began to double or more.
Speed, power and even feel.
With his combat power greatly amplified to the point where it was incomparable to his previous appearance, Logan began to push his teacher like crazy.
Skag. visor!
bang!
However, even the lightning strikes from all directions could not pierce the solid defense of the swordsman, who only calmly defended himself.
And the swordsman, who was watching Logan’s attack with blue eyes, blurted out indifferently.
“And try using that technique too.”
Logan pauses for a moment at those words.
“…Are you okay?”
The swordsman chuckled and replied that the person who had defeated him seemed to have suffered mental scars.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Now, let me show you.”
Smiling with his own childish smile, Logan took a deep breath and unleashed the strongest attack he could make.
‘Splitting life.’
If flame cleavage destroys the power of supernatural abilities, life cleavage is the power that destroys the essence of life itself.
Rather than being able to withstand the power of an Auror, it was a method that destroyed the very foundation, and it was such a devilish method that the swordsman who suffered from it barely came to his senses after receiving care from a bishop-level priest for three weeks.
Because of that, he never brought it up during the training that followed, but if the teacher said that, it must have been because he was confident.
‘Actually, even then…’
Strictly speaking, since he had guessed that he had lost, Logan had no hesitation in swinging the strongest blow again.
and.
The golden ray of light that stretched out as if encroaching on the front was unable to pierce the red aura that strangely penetrated the gap, and its power was exhausted.
“As expected…”
A light exclamation erupted from the golden light that had not yet disappeared.
Soon the light faded and the teacher’s appearance, vivid with red aura, was revealed to his eyes.
Logan could not help but open his eyes wide as he stumbled, feeling the force draining away like the ebb and flow of the tide.
“How can an Auror have the power to destroy the essence of the Force…?”
The swordsman answered Logan’s question with a bright smile.
“Because I couldn’t reach it.”
“yes?”
“By blocking the space in front of me, I blocked the power of light from approaching. Since it didn’t reach me, it couldn’t have been destroyed.”
Space was blocked.
Since the person who was calmly saying such nonsense was none other than a swordsman, Logan could only stare blankly at his teacher.
“Thanks to you, I was able to overcome the wall that had been blocking me for a long time. Thank you very much, Your Majesty.”
Logan’s eyes widened as he realized the meaning of those words a beat later.
“Master, no way…”
“Yes. Now I am finally no longer ashamed to say that I am the strongest superhuman in the kingdom.”
“Ha….”
The highest level of Auror user.
Excluding the legendary Auror Masters, the teacher has reached the highest level that a human who has learned the Force can reach.
Perhaps the level that Tris Hornsby has reached.
“Hahahahahaha! This is impossible!”
There was one more challenge to face against the Continent’s First Sword, which he vaguely thought he had to overcome.
That’s why Logan was able to spread his arms and smile brightly for the first time in a while.
And the swordsmith….
Sereung.
Seeing his disciple and ruler rejoicing in his accomplishments as if they were his own, he smiled again and raised his sword.
“…Master?”
“In essence, to be safe, you gain more from a situation where you are at your limit. Just like me.”
“Oh, that’s it…”
“Take up the sword. From today, I will teach you how to use that trait and then go beyond your limits even when you are exhausted.”
A smile that is gentle and benevolent, but even more murderous.
‘This isn’t really about budget, is it? Probably not.’
In front of him, Logan had no choice but to force his sword to twitch with his lips twitching.
Hehehehehehehe.
“Whoa….”
“Thank you for your hard work today.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
The swordsman calmly put away his sword in front of Logan, who was sprawled on the floor, out of breath.
It was clear that he would turn around like he always did, so Logan resisted the urge to lift a finger and forced himself to open his mouth and call out to his teacher.
“Master! Do you have any plans to raise more students?”
“…yes?”
What does that mean?
Even as he looked at his teacher’s slightly crumpled expression, Logan did not back down.
Instead, I took a deep breath and poured out the words I had been keeping inside.
“There are talented people who can become superhumans if they are taught and trained properly. If the teacher teaches them directly, the probability will be even higher.”
Something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
However, I couldn’t bear to say it for fear of being rude to my teacher.
But now I felt like I had to do it.
‘Luther Kyle and Wicken Callia are the worst teachers. Even I alone have my limits.’
I hesitated several times, but now seemed to be the best time as my teacher seemed to be in a good mood.
however.
“…Not everyone becomes a superhuman, Your Majesty.”
In fact, the teacher shook his head with a stern expression.
“It’s not just anyone, Master. He’s currently on a mission, but didn’t you admire him when you saw him? My fiancée, Sir Eilen.”
“…They are definitely talented. Your Majesty’s younger brother is the same. But they are talented people who will shine at any time even if I don’t have to teach them.”
High praise from the teacher.
The talent of those who will become superhumans in the future amazes those who see them in real life.
In fact, Eilen also recently became a top-level knight, and Victor, who is currently on a mission, was a few weeks earlier than him.
“I can’t wait for that time, Master. I watch their training whenever I have time, but I want them to grow even faster.”
The swordsmith’s eyes wavered as Logan continued to persuade him.
There.
“And, unusually, there is a talented person who has reached the highest level as an archer. Wouldn’t such a talented person be a good experience for you, Master?”
As Bourdel’s presence increased, the swordsman changed his attitude, showing signs of interest.
“Huh? A bow? Oh, okay. Let’s meet them all first. So, are there all three?”
“Yes. If Ronian comes back, there will be four.”
“That’s it… hmm. Well, the newly created Royal Knights can be left to Luther and Wicken, so there’s no need to shorten the training time with His Majesty.”
“…yes?”
I wonder why you were worried…?
“Okay, bring him in. I will teach you with all my heart. Of course, as the time is slightly shortened, His Majesty’s training will become more difficult. Are you okay?”
“…Yes.”
Logan couldn’t help but nod with a wry smile.
“But is your younger brother still…?”
The teacher’s next words reminded me of my younger brother, whom I had tried to forget for a while. He said it was
for the sake of training. It’s already been over a year since we last lost contact when we entered the depths of the southern mountains.
‘I believe it wasn’t a mistake, little brother.’
– You’re the king, right?! Mobilize the army and find your younger brother! Find him!
It was as if he could hear his mother’s voice in his mind again, telling him that she couldn’t sleep at night in the territory.
However, in this situation where they were preparing for war with the empire, there were monsters. It was impossible to send an army into the southern mountains, which were reputed to be the territory of the wildlings, or to send a small number of elites to that wide mountain range to find his brother.
Logan bit his lip to the point of bleeding and looked at his teacher.
“Ronian will come back at any time. .I grew up safely and unexpectedly.”
It was just a wishful thinking, but now I had no choice but to trust my younger brother. In
his past life, from a family that was ruined, he had the talent to become the youngest Auror user on the continent without any teacher.
* * * When intense training continued in the royal family and the magic corps was gradually taking shape,
another royal notice was posted in the capital and royal territories
– workers for dam construction were being recruited.
Considering the conditions, it was clear. It was a generous condition, and it was also helpful for farmers who had to go through the busy farming season after the winter.
However, for some reason, a rumor spread near the capital… that
the king is trying to exploit the people by implementing unreasonable policies again.
The royal policy. There was only criticism and swear words.
