Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 12
Episode 12
Ellis came over and knocked on the door.
“come in.”
Ellis, carrying clothes, opened the door and came in.
She came up to me while I was stretching and showed me some clothes.
“young master. “I brought the clothes you provided.”
“uh.”
And he helped me change my clothes.
Black suit. It was a simple outfit with no decorations.
I couldn’t get used to the extravagant clothes, so I ended up having them custom-made.
Above it was a cloak with a symbol representing a famous magic family drawn on it.
‘Not bad.’
Yes, this is what clothes are.
These clothes fit me better than clothes with various accessories, which I thought were flashy.
“It’s done.”
Ellis brought a mirror in front of me with a slightly flushed face.
Well-groomed dark brown hair and eyes.
Pure white skin. Since he has a look that perfectly fits the description of a handsome man, a black suit suits him even better.
He wore the sword he got from the knight commander on his belt.
With this, preparations are completed.
“It’s okay.”
I nodded and walked after Ellis.
“Master Raymond has arrived.
Ellis speaks to the knights.
Even if I don’t reveal my name, they know me.
Because this was the Millennium Counts and they were the Knights of the Millennium.
Nevertheless, revealing the name was a formality.
Sigh.
The door opens softly and the knights look at me.
The look in your eyes telling you to come in.
Ellis then turned to me and said.
“Master, I have something else to do…”
“Uh. “Go.”
“I hope you have a nice banquet.”
Ellis bowed his head and left the place.
She will have a lot of work to do during the banquet season.
I looked at her back and went through the door the knights had opened.
I looked around. Even though it was still early, the banquet hall was filled with nobles from all over.
There were nobles in front of the orchestra, whose tone filled the banquet hall.
They were smiling and satisfied with the sweet music.
There was a sparring hall at the edge of the banquet hall.
This is a sparring hall created in case there is a conflict in the banquet hall.
Sometimes, children who couldn’t overcome their anger would go to the sparring hall and spar, which was secretly popular with the nobles.
After all, what was fun was watching the fight.
‘Most of them wore similar clothes.’
Children of noble families wearing white or brightly colored uniforms and dresses with lace and jewelry.
And after that, their parents and powerful nobles were having a conversation, each holding a glass.
“Hahaha, so….”
“I mean….”
The nobles gathered together show off their boasts to each other.
Their mouths were smiling, but their eyes were cold, looking for flaws in each other.
I shook my head at the sight of them looking like they would criticize me if they found even the slightest loophole.
‘You live a tiring life.’
Do you really want to promote yourself like that?
I walked on, ignoring them.
“Is there anything you want?”
A servant walking around the banquet hall saw me and came up to me and spoke to me.
I waved my hand at him and sent him back.
“uh? Who is this? It’s Raymond. How have you been?”
At that time, a man with a bulging belly approaches and speaks to me in a friendly way.
Does Raymond know someone? I greeted him without showing my surprise.
“Ah yes. how are you?”
“hmm? I’ve been doing well. But something has changed in you.”
He looked at me with strange eyes.
Eyes as if evaluating a product.
He ignored it and spoke indifferently.
“People can’t stay the same forever.”
“is it? ha ha ha. “Then, good luck.”
“yes.”
I bowed slightly to him and left the place.
I felt harsh gazes from behind, but I didn’t care.
“uh? Raymond.”
“How did it come out this time?”
Surprisingly, there were many people who knew Raymond.
No, maybe it’s natural. It was Raymond who was rumored to be an incompetent idiot.
In fact, there are probably very few people who don’t know.
As I greet them one by one, I feel exhausted.
‘I shouldn’t be tired already.’
I sighed softly.
It would have been better if he had just ignored it, but maybe it was because he was the son of the person who held this banquet.
Or is it because they are curious about Raymond, who came out after 4 years?
They showed great interest in me and talked to me one by one.
Maybe that’s why it took up quite a bit of time.
‘There are more people.’
There were so many people that it felt like the banquet hall was already full.
‘I need to find Selina.’
The purpose of my coming here in the first place was for Selina.
It was definitely not my intention to become friends with others.
‘She would be noticeable from afar.’
Like Beatrice, she is a swordsman genius who fought against the protagonist until the end.
When I visited Count Warrug to deliver an invitation, I met her.
The basic steps for becoming friends with her have been laid.
‘He will be surrounded by other noble children.’
I expected it even without seeing it. The sight of young people circling around her to have at least one more word with her.
‘Where do you want to be?’
It was time to take steps to find her.
“Raymond Youngsik.”
I turned my head to the voice calling me.
And my body became stiff.
“You were here.”
Selina, wearing a pure white dress, was smiling at me.
***
There were five children around her.
Each of them had a sword tied to their waists, which were decorated in their own way.
The way he looked at me while talking to Selina was never good.
From their perspective, I would be like an uninvited guest who suddenly barged in.
‘I’m sorry. ‘I also have my own circumstances.’
I couldn’t help how they viewed me.
What was important to me now was to progress my relationship with Selina.
“how are you? “At that time, I was worried that I might have meddled for no reason.”
“no. Thanks to you, I was able to find the problem. Rather, I should be thankful. “Thanks to you, I was able to take a step forward.”
“I’m glad it helped.”
It’s a good start.
She was smiling softly.
A face that doesn’t feel bad at all. I felt a little reassured by that and thought of something to talk about with her.
“haha. “Why don’t you just have a nice conversation, and can we join in as well?”
A man who had been quietly watching our conversation intervened.
He took a step forward and deftly stood between me and Selina.
“My name is Kaham Ruhaman.”
To be honest, I was a little surprised by him putting his hand on his chest and lowering his head.
Kaham Ruhaman. After Count Warrug, the next family famous for swordsmanship was Viscount Ruhaman.
Kaham Ruhaman was the eldest son of Viscount Ruhaman and was also quite a talented person.
He is very sociable and has a wide network of contacts. Just looking at it, it doesn’t seem like it would be a bad thing to be friendly with him.
‘There was no detail about him in the novel.’
He was also a character who only appeared briefly in the beginning, so I didn’t pay much attention to him.
“I…”
“I know. “You are Raymond Youngsik.”
He cuts me off. Let alone the fact that you knew me, you cut off the speaker mid-sentence.
Is he also the same type as the apprentice wizards?
‘Let’s not judge hastily.’
There is not enough information to judge him based on one word.
There was no need to pretend now.
“however. “Lady Selina.”
“yes?”
“I never thought Lady Selina would be friendly with Raymond Youngsik.”
But the way he looked at me was strange.
The mouth is smiling, but the eyes are not.
The way he looks at me is different from the way he looks at Selina.
“What does that mean?”
“Well… you know. “Isn’t there some bad rumor about Raymond Youngsik?”
iced coffee. I see
These days, I was just at the training ground and forgot about it for a while.
“He’s an incompetent idiot who likes to cause harm to others… I heard he’s only in the first circle.”
Yes, that was contempt.
Eyes as if looking at an insect.
That guy was worse than the apprentice wizards.
“What… do you apologize? “What kind of disrespect are you to Raymond Youngsik?”
Selina’s face hardened.
His voice, calling him an incompetent idiot, was so loud that everyone around him could hear it.
“uh? It’s true. “It’s Raymond.”
“I haven’t even seen a snout in four years. “What kind of guts did you have to come out this time?”
“What kind of accident are you planning to cause this time?”
The whispering sounds of the people’s nobles were heard.
“Kaham Yeongsik!”
Selina glares at Kaham.
What he did was to humiliate me in front of everyone.
If it had been Raymond, the owner of my body, and not me, I would have been greatly intimidated by the attention of those around me.
If it were worse, I could have run away from this place.
‘That’s fun.’
I looked at him.
Kaham was laughing as if this situation was funny.
That guy. Maybe something happened with Raymond. So, as the son of Count Millennium, he can do that to me.
Maybe you think I can’t do anything.
As before.
“You incompetent idiot….”
I muttered softly.
I thought I muttered something very softly, but Selina looked back at me as if she heard me.
Her eyes were full of complicated feelings.
I turned my gaze from her and looked at Kaham.
“You’re not wrong.”
I laughed.
I smiled at him as he looked at me.
His smile disappears, probably because he was embarrassed by my appearance being different from what he expected.
“But there is one thing that Kaham Youngsik said was wrong.”
“….”
As I spoke, I thought of a person who would fit the current situation.
[‘The nameless god’ eyes light up at the new incident.]
That phrase from the example came to mind.
I ignored that phrase and wiped my smile.
“I may be a fool, but I’m not incompetent.”
there is.
The person with the sense of intimidation that best suits this situation.
That’s how my ‘acting’ began.
“But I wonder what you were thinking when you said that.”
A charisma that I didn’t have was slowly showing its head.
“You probably don’t know that I am the spirit of the millennium.”
Charisma that slowly spreads around.
Kaham and Selina in front of me trembled.
“For you to call me an incompetent idiot…”
He lifted his hand and stroked his chin.
The energy in my body spread everywhere, as if I could no longer hold it in.
Selina looked at me in disbelief as the momentum filled the surroundings.
I could understand her gaze.
The way I look now must be very familiar to her.
‘Bane Warrug’
I was ‘acting’ as Bane Warrug, the head of the Count Warrug family, a renowned swordsman.
“I don’t know what you were thinking when you said that.”
Kaham I don’t know what he was thinking when he said those words to me.
One thing is clear: they showed hostility towards me.
That you insulted me.
“Can you take responsibility for that?”
Eat.
Seeing myself smiling faintly.
Kaham Ruhaman’s face turned pale.
