The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 14

Episode 14

But why didn’t Reynaldo stop Count Randall and his group?

From Reynaldo’s point of view, Raoul was a grateful major shareholder, and Count Randall was nothing more than a useless nuisance.

The reason was to impose a debt on Raoul.

If everything went according to plan, there should have been a picture of Count Randall and his group persecuting Raoul and his group.

Then, Reynaldo himself would appear with the guards and help Raoul in trouble, and that would be the end.

Randall guys only have fifteen regular drivers. On the other hand, Raoul’s group’s number is less than ten even if you add the three regular knights and apprentices.

Considering that one regular knight can deal with dozens of regular soldiers, wouldn’t it be natural that the results wouldn’t be much different no matter how many people in Raoul’s group?

From anyone’s perspective, it was a calculation that was neither very complicated nor difficult. But….

“Oh my!”

Surprised, Reynaldo dropped the telescope. This is because Raoul got up from his chair and looked exactly in the direction where he was.

‘It must be an illusion. ‘How far is it from here to here?’

Reynaldo swept away his shocked heart.

However, the golden eyes of Raoul I met at the end were not easily forgotten.

Anyway, Reynaldo decided to try the calculator again.

The youngest son, known as a weak man, was actually a monster who could defeat fifteen knights by himself. So what else is hidden in the Ashton family?

‘Do you know anything? Is there a hidden sword master? No! Could it be that the Count actually became a Sword Master?? Even if that’s not the case…’

Even in my complicated mind, there was only one thing that was certain.

“I will have to become friendly with the Ashton family from now on.”

The mayor trudged off the roof of the building, wondering what to give as a gift to Raoul.

* * *

Raoul stopped retaliating exactly one hour later.

The assholes of Count Randall begged for their lives, shedding tears and snot, and knelt down and apologized for their actions.

Raoul left the place after extorting appropriate compensation from them.

The cleanup was handled by the security forces according to Mayor Reynaldo’s orders. And officially, it ended up being a friendly sparring between the two families.

After returning to his lodgings, Raoul sat down quietly and reflected on today’s battle.

From the beginning, I had no intention of dealing with them alone. There was no reason to leave my subordinates behind and suffer alone.

But the moment I arrived at the scene, my thoughts changed. No, it had no choice but to change.

This is because an appetizing food called [Surprise Quest] appeared before his eyes.

‘Quest window open!’

〈Surprising Quest: Challenge of a Rival Family〉

Grade: F~B

Goal: Rescue the subordinates captured by the rival family.

Additional goal: Appropriate punishment for challengers.

Description: Quest grades and rewards are adjusted depending on the rescue method and response to the challenger.

ex1〉 In case of rescue through unfavorable negotiation – F grade

ex2〉 In case of rescuing prisoners and punishing all challengers on one’s own – B grade

Quest result: Rescue and punishment completed. Measurement Grade B

Reward: 30,000 experience coins (player store only), random B-rank skill book drawing ticket.

It didn’t feel like it was a bit unreasonable, but in the end, I was able to receive a generous reward.

‘But it would have been difficult if you didn’t have telekinesis, right?’

The thing that helped him the most in planning this battle was, of course, telekinesis.

No matter how limited his mana skills were, the physical stats of the expert-level knight were clearly superior to Raoul’s.

And although he successfully stole the sword, he obviously couldn’t match Jeremy in terms of skill.

What made up the difference was telekinesis. To be more precise, it was a technique that Raoul himself called [Telekinesis Enhancement Art].

When it comes to telekinesis, it was easy to think of it as the ability to move objects at a distance just by thinking. However, Raoul used his supernatural powers in various ways.

[Telekinesis Enhancement Art] began with concerns about how to compensate for insufficient physical abilities.

The answer wasn’t difficult. Using telekinesis according to the direction in which the body or weapon moves.

In other words, the idea was to superimpose telekinesis on top of the body.

However, it was not easy to actually get used to it.

This is because activating telekinesis precisely in sync with a fast-moving body required very precise control and power adjustment.

The first time I was able to use this skill was a year after I started playing the game, and it took another 3 years before I could use it naturally.

However, the reincarnated Raoul was able to use [Telekinesis Enhancement] without difficulty.

This is because sense and tact were more important than anything else in this technique.

In this battle as well, when Raoul stabbed his sword, he used telekinesis to push the sword from behind to supplement his speed and strength.

When striking the sword, force was applied in the direction in which the sword was swung, and when shaking the blade, force was applied in all directions to induce an anomaly.

As a result, Jeremy was unable to keep up with Raoul’s ever-changing movements and was defeated.

He probably didn’t realize the exact reason why he lost to Raoul until the end.

“Now then, shall we check the reward?”

First, Count Randall placed the compensation he had ripped off from the bastards on the table.

There is one gold coin bag containing 5000 gold.

One shiny black pocket.

A luxurious rapier and mangoche set that sparkled in silver took their place.

‘I can’t believe I got a space expansion pouch in my hand. ‘I had a lot to write about, but it turned out well?’

The black pouch was an artifact with a space expansion magic that could fit the luggage of a wagon.

Although it was expensive, it was a more valuable item due to its rarity.

The rapier and mangoshu set were unique weapons made of mithril alloy.

It was clear that Ramon, the original owner, would be angry because he was unfairly treated, but it was none of Raul’s concern.

After receiving the reward from the quest window, a cool feeling passed through my entire body.

The level increased to 47.

A small silver ticket sparkled in front of Raoul’s eyes as he smiled pleasantly.

The two random skill books I received as tournament rewards earlier came out to be nothing but useless. So I decided not to place my hopes on the drawing, but…

it was a B-rank skill book. How could you not look forward to it?

Raoul politely held up Ticket with both hands and prayed in his heart.

‘You don’t need to hit the jackpot, so even if it’s a medium hit! No, just let me have skills that I can use!!’

Raoul closed his eyes tightly and held both sides of the ticket, giving strength to his slightly trembling hands.

Squeak!

-You have acquired the skill book [Rivera Spear (B)].

“yes!”

Raoul stood up with clenched fists.

To be honest, it wasn’t a huge hit. Because his main skills were swordsmanship and telekinesis.

However, spearmanship was a necessary skill in the next destination, the capital.

Although there was a C-rank spear skill in the skill book, I felt it was not enough, but I was lucky because a B-rank spear skill appeared at the right time.

After organizing all the rewards he received today, Raoul went to bed with a relieved heart.

‘There’s still one big thing left to do in Mira. Everyone in the group invested nearly a month just for that, so we must make it a success!’

Raoul closed his eyes, thinking about his future plans once again.

* * *

A week later.

Raoul was still engrossed in hunting in the cursed forest.

Shoooouk!

A stab like a flash pierced the heart of the orc warrior.

And the very moment the orc warrior fell helplessly to the floor.

[Level up!]

– Player Raoul’s level has exceeded 51LV.

-Achieved a promotion level. Determine whether or not you are eligible for an upgrade.

-The promotion conditions have been met. Occupation [Sword User] is changed to [Sword Expert].

-The occupation [Beginner Telekinesis] will be changed to [Intermediate Telekinesis].

Paaang!

A golden airflow burst out from Raoul’s body.

About 30cm of golden sword energy (mana blade) erupted from the bastard sword he was holding, and dozens of fist-sized stones on the floor rose into the air and swirled around Raoul’s body.

‘Go!’

When Raoul lightly snapped his fingers, the stones surrounding his body spread out in all directions.

Bub bub bub! Ujithong!!

The waists of five adult-sized trees within a 5m radius burst simultaneously.

Then, when Raoul struck the bastard sword at the large rock, the rock over 3 meters tall split in half with a loud sound.

As if that wasn’t enough, Raoul jumped into the air and fell down, shouting loudly.

“Bear strike!!”

Quaaaang!

The rock that had been split in half was not only shattered into pieces, but also dented all the way to the bottom.

Clap clap clap!

As Raoul grabbed his sword, Philip and Jake approached, clapping.

“That’s great, Confucius!”

“It’s amazing! “I became a sword expert at the age of 15!!”

There was admiration and pride on the faces of the two people.

But Raoul spoke calmly as if it was no big deal.

“Now is the start. “I still have a long way to go, so you two can help me a lot.”

Then Jake stuck his tongue out and made a fuss.

“What can we do to help you? You’re doing well on your own. And can’t we go a little slower? At this rate, you’ll become a sword master in your 20s! “Ah ow!!”

Phillip pulled Jake’s ear and rolled his eyes.

“Is that what you want to say to Confucius? Anyway, the moment you fall behind Confucius, think of yourself as having fallen asleep. “I will beat you to death.”

“Oh, just kidding. Just kidding. “I just thought it was time for you to take a break since you worked hard, Confucius!”

“Anyway, just keep your mouth open!”

After letting go of Jake, Philip asked Raoul.

“What are you going to do now? Shall I contact my family? “The Count will be very pleased.”

But Raoul shook his head.

“There’s no need to make a fuss about something like this. “I’ll tell you about it myself later, so let’s keep it a secret for now.”

The angular stone was the right fit. There was no reason to expose one’s military power in a situation where enemies targeting the family were on the move.

“All right. “Just in case, I’ll have my subordinates check in as well.”

And Philip silently glared at Jake. Then Jake flinched.

“Why why? “What did I do?”

Philip silently made a gesture of zipping up the zipper with his fingers.

“I understand! Even if I tell you, no one will believe me. 15 year old sword expert? “Oh my goodness.”

Ignoring Jake’s grumbling, Raoul walked towards Mira.

I had enough monster hunting, now I had to prepare for another hunt.

The groundwork has already been laid and the stage has been set. All that remains is for the prey to take the bait.

‘Move quickly. ‘Dogs of the Empire!’

The time to begin avenging my past life was approaching.
