The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 86
Episode 86:
The Villain Master and the New
Prince Giloshan proposed to set off for the Duchy of Weiler with the Little Princess in a week.
“Why don’t you leave right away?”
“The Little Princess won’t be able to come back, so wouldn’t you need some time to sort things out?”
“….”
This was the reason that even a strict corps commander had no choice but to accept.
However, opinions clashed over the route.
“what? “You’re going to use movement magic instead of land?”
“Yes, we will use the large movement magic circle at the Revolutionary Army headquarters to move to the Principality of Wyler.”
Palamir clicked his tongue at those words.
‘Huh, this bastard hasn’t completely drained the luxurious imperial palace yet?’
When using movement magic, costs naturally arose, and of course that was the responsibility of the 1st Corps.
And above all, it becomes difficult to ‘monitor’ them.
Therefore, Corps Commander Palamir shook his head resolutely.
“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible. “There is also a limit to the budget of the corps used for this operation.”
But Giloshan just smiled and shook his head.
“Then take my share of this mission. “Okay then?”
“huh? “What does that mean?”
“I’m going to spend my own money and go on a magic circle. How much teleportation magic can you do? “I am.”
“….”
In an instant, the corps commander’s pride was wounded, and the corners of his eyes trembled.
And Gilroshan was looking at it with amusement.
In the end, it was the prince who won.
“Hmm! Then let’s do it like this!”
Corps Commander Palamir, who was completely taken by his provocation, proposed a new proposal.
“The cost of using the magic circle will be borne by the Legion. However, we do not control your travel route. “How is it?”
Gilroshan clicked his tongue at those words.
“No, if you don’t want to do it, just say no. What is the point of petty travel control? “Isn’t this why you’re not an escort but an attendant?”
“If you don’t like it, quit!”
“Oh, I understand. “Then let’s do that.”
But at the same time, Giloshan was grinning inwardly.
Even grunting and throwing another provocation was all a calculated action.
‘I’m sure they’ll tell you to go through the ruined city of Foravert.’
At least it was.
Corps Commander Palamir must have been in secret with the Duchy of Wyler…
That same liaison was operating from a place called the Foravert Ruins City.
‘Lafer Kit, one of the butlers of the Wyler family and a 7-star swordsman.’
He was also Gilroshan’s target now.
Clearly, if he was caught, his ‘connection’ with Corps Commander Palamir would be revealed.
I was planning to snatch it right away.
“The route goes through ‘Porabert Ruined City’. “No objections will be allowed.”
…also.
Gilroshan laughed to himself and pretended to grumble.
“Oh, so you’re going to a place with cheaper transportation costs? “This is too bad.”
“I told you to stop if you don’t like it!”
“Yes yes. “I will follow your orders.”
Gilroshan grumbled quietly.
The prince took a quick look around Eve’s room.
He smiled as he bid farewell to the corps commander.
“I’ll see you then. Balam… no, Corps Commander Palamir.”
“…Okay, I’ll see you in a week. Shan Alredro.”
Palamir Sodin turned around, feeling uneasy at the vaguely ominous-sounding farewell.
And before long, the ominous feeling of the corps commander returned to reality.
* * *
5 days of free time.
Eve and I started our own preparations.
Eve left the Legion’s headquarters under the pretext of meeting up with her friends and wandered around.
I started ‘training’ right away.
He decided to learn frontier swordsmanship from Carls.
“He’s a damn guy who hasn’t learned the magic of learning since 7 years ago.”
“….”
The swordsmanship class began in the backyard of the ‘Pink Monkey’ Inn, with the grumbling Tyrvaen watching.
“For your information, I have never taught anyone swordsmanship.”
“I guess so.”
Although Carls had a genius sword skill, he was a twenty-year-old who had just reached the 7th star level.
So it was impossible for him to have any experience teaching swordsmanship to anyone, and he seemed very nervous since I, the lord, was his first student.
“So I’m just going to teach you the way I was taught. “It may be a very difficult process for you.”
But I just chuckled.
‘I’m going to use the system to learn skills.’
Does it really have to be that hard?
However, Carls raised his iron sword with a very determined expression.
“For your information, the frontier swordsmanship I will be teaching you is famous for its extremely arduous training process.”
“….”
“Among the training knights I studied with, only about two out of ten survived all the training and mastered the Frontier.”
…That much?
Is training that difficult?
Carls handed me a training sword and said to me, who was skeptical.
“So, it’s okay to say that it’s hard at any time and that you should take a break. “If you try to be rude, you might get hurt.”
A system message suddenly appeared, along with gentle yet terrifying words.
[The comprehensive skill ‘Frontier Swordsmanship’ is taught from ‘Carls Silion’.]
[The grade is adjusted according to the learner’s proficiency.]
[The current grade is C grade. Do your best to practice your skills!]
That is how swordsmanship training began in earnest.
“First, spread your legs shoulder-width apart. Then, hold the sword vertically and point the tip of the sword…”
Following Carls’ words, a new graphic effect began to be created.
It instructs where the sword and my body should be positioned according to the posture of frontier swordsmanship.
As I followed along, I was a little embarrassed.
‘what? ‘It’s harder than I thought…?’
To be honest, I was a person who was confident in control.
But now this was not something that could be called control.
‘Is this just learning real swordsmanship?’
Carls taught me the basics step by step, making me understand the sword’s trajectory and body movements one by one.
But the progress was much slower than I expected.
[The technology is being passed on.]
[The current progress rate is 2%…]
“That’s amazing! “I didn’t know you could learn the basic posture so quickly.”
But 2 percent?
The pace was so terribly slow that Carl’s praise went unheard.
‘Huh…’
I couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at the awkwardness.
‘Learning the manatee sword technique was nothing short of a cheat.’
Well, I couldn’t even understand and learn the principles in this way…
It was understandable that the Manatee Sword Technique didn’t work properly.
Even great S-class swordsmanship ultimately needed a coach to truly shine.
…anyway.
‘It’s a big deal. ‘Is this why it’s taking so long?’
The reason I am learning this sword technique now is not because I had extra time.
Coincidentally, that guy named Deacon Lafer possessed the same sharp sword technique as my manatee sword technique.
Therefore, the battle that would take place in the ruined city of Foravert was not particularly advantageous to me.
Even if you have S-class swordsmanship, it doesn’t work at 100%.
‘…I guess I’d say it’s similar or at a bit of a disadvantage.’
So it was necessary to clearly gain the upper hand in advance.
First, I decided to occupy the high ground in the sword fighting castle, just like I did with the Marquis of Reut.
‘The quick sword technique is strong against the soft sword technique, but it is weak against the beaten sword technique.’
The utility of this compatibility was so powerful that it could easily overturn one grade.
Of course, it was classified as a captain-level sword among the sword classes, and it was the S-class vanguard swordsmanship of the Marquis of Royt.
‘But Carl’s A-level frontier swordsmanship isn’t bad either.’
In fact, Frontier is better than Vanguard in times when swordsmanship proficiency is low.
As a player, the information I knew was that proficiency levels could be filled faster.
…and yet it’s this slow.
‘Then how tough is Vanguard?’
My mind keeps getting more complicated.
But I shook my head and tried to organize my thoughts.
‘…For now, let’s follow Carl’s instructions at least until today and tomorrow.’
Because I haven’t learned all the basic movements yet.
And the next day.
I had no choice but to take this situation more seriously.
* * *
“Sir, I’ll leave it at that for today.”
“Huh huh…” As
I was repeating attack and defense techniques while sweating, I lost my grip on the sword and collapsed.
Carls was correct in saying that Frontier training would not be easy.
“Whoa whoa….”
“You need to control your breathing a little more. “Not yet, but we will soon be using magic power, so if you don’t keep the circulation of power in mind, you might get hurt.”
For two days, he really pushed me without blood or tears.
It wasn’t easy just to maintain my posture, but they were nagging me and making all kinds of problems.
Thanks to this, my entire body was completely destroyed.
“Still, that’s great speed. “At this speed, you will be able to learn frontier swordsmanship in no time.”
With those words, I quietly opened the skill information.
< Frontier Swordsmanship (Incomplete) >
[Comprehensive Skills] [Class C] This is an arcane swordsmanship used by elite knights of the Baltic Empire. Pursuing the precision of the sword by using the linear movement of the one-handed sword.
Special: 10% increase effect when equipped with the Imperial Knight’s Sword.
Current acquisition progress: 3.25%
…3.25, not 32.5.
I’ve been training for two days, but I haven’t even reached 4% yet.
It wasn’t some kind of slug, and even though it was slow, it was too slow.
But Carls was in an uproar because it was fast.
“You are truly amazing. “Maybe I’m a sword genius.”
Well, in the real world, people learn swordsmanship for a lifetime.
The gap between the game and reality was this big.
“Carls, how long do you think it will take for me to learn all the Frontier sword techniques?”
“If you continue at this pace…”
Carls, who was contemplating with his arms crossed, nodded.
“I think about a month. Then you will reach the level of 4 stars. “You can probably use it in real life.”
For the player, that meant 100% acquisition progress.
In conclusion, it is impossible to learn and use Frontier Swordsmanship within a week.
‘…Did I just trust the system and think too easily?’
Should we change our strategy now?
But ironically, I felt like I couldn’t give up learning swordsmanship from Carls.
After learning swordsmanship myself, I definitely realized something.
‘When I got the Manatee Sword Technique through the skill tree system, something was incomplete.’
Now, I definitely felt like my swordsmanship was going the way I wanted.
Therefore, the conclusion was that we should not just skip over it, but should learn it clearly one by one.
‘But it’s too slow.’
Time was short and a faster way to learn was needed.
What should I do with this?
“Whoaaaam.”
At that time, Tyrvaen, who was watching, opened his mouth, yawned, and said.
“It’s so boring. “When are we going to spar?”
…This kid is real.
“Master, what kind of sparring is this? “Did you see the 7-star sparring with the 2-star?”
“Hmm, you are only a 1 star right now.”
“Carls? “Be careful.”
The little witch scratched her cheek and responded.
“Then can’t Lord Silion move slowly and accept it? “That’s the method used in magic sparring.”
Move slowly?
“…!”
At the little witch’s words, an idea struck my head like lightning.
‘That’s right, that was there, right?’
A way to secure the time you currently lack.
That method came to mind.
“Hehehe.”
I grinned as I picked up the training sword.
“Carls, we will be training at the Cathedral of Cysiris starting tomorrow morning, so please prepare to stay there for a month.”
“…yes? “Did you say the Cathedral of Cysiris? And ‘one month’?”
