Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 7

Episode 7

There was silence in the dining room.

I don’t know if he was so shocked that I would attend the banquet, or if he was surprised that I would go to Count Warrug’s house to deliver an invitation.

I continued eating calmly in the strange atmosphere.

Count and Countess Millennium made eye contact and opened their mouths.

“Raymond.”

“Yes father.”

“You’ve changed a lot.”

“I just have a goal.”

The goal is to survive.

In the end, either I kill the main character of the novel ‘Master of Talent’ or I die.

It’s one of two things.

I just had a goal: to kill the main character before he dies.

In addition, I also have the idea that if I can’t escape from here anyway, I should live well.

“Are you serious about attending the banquet?”

“I’m serious.”

“If I attend the banquet this time, I will have to go to the hunting ground.”

“I will go.”

He did not avoid Count Millennium’s gaze.

When I saw his eyes filled with complex emotions, I was able to completely understand the situation.

Four years ago, while attending a banquet, Jerion got into an accident, so it must have been a big shock to Raymond.

It seemed like he had not been attending the banquet since then.

‘This time… I have to attend.’

That way, I have at least one more chance to win Beatrice over to my side, and the same goes for Selina.

If you don’t move, there’s nothing you can do.

That was the natural way of human life.

“i get it. Then, know that and be prepared.”

“yes.”

“As for delivering the invitation to Count Warrug… we had better go together. “I’ll be there right away this afternoon, so get ready.”

“All right.”

I answered simply.

Is my obedient attitude not getting used to it?

Count Millennium shook his head once with an expression of no understanding and focused on his meal.

He didn’t know yet.

Change begins now.

***

The entire day was spent getting to know the Warrug family.

In my head, I remembered the description of Selina and the characteristics of the Earl Warrug family that I had read in a novel.

Perhaps because Selina was also a character who stood in the way of the main character until the end of the kingdom, the novel described her in comparative detail.

‘A woman with vivid silver hair and blue eyes.’

The novel described her like that.

Another word was added as if to emphasize it.

‘A beautiful woman with vivid silver hair and blue eyes.’

Even though there was no text praising Beatrice’s appearance, she was quite beautiful.

So, how amazing would a woman be who could emphatically describe herself as beautiful?

Even if you see Selina for the first time, you will probably recognize her at a glance.

I’m ruminating on Selina’s characteristics.

“It’s done, Master.”

Ellis said, taking a step back.

I took a look in the mirror.

He was dressed like a wizard, perhaps to advertise that he came from the Millennium family.

Basically, the Millennium family was the place that produced battle wizards, so they wore unique, active robes that were comfortable for battle.

“It’s not bad.”

It was a little awkward, but it didn’t look too bad, so I nodded once and turned around.

As I walked towards the gate, I heard a voice from behind.

“Raymond.”

“…Yes, father.”

I don’t know why the word ‘father’ is so awkward.

Count Millennium naturally walked side by side with me.

“If you go…”

“It won’t cause any trouble, so don’t worry.”

“…i get it.”

Count Millennium, who was quietly looking at me, responded and stood in front of the gate.

From a distance, I noticed two apprentice wizards who had been beaten by me not long ago standing politely.

I thought that was quite cute and made me laugh.

As I glanced at them, an apprentice wizard who caught my eye quickly lowered his head.

“We will operate.”

I heard someone’s voice.

When I closed my eyes and opened them, a sight I had never seen before unfolded before my eyes.

It was a sight that could not be seen at the Millennium Mansion.

Decorative swords were hung here and there on the walls, and the atmosphere created a strong sense of intimidation from the opponent.

“Welcome. Gerard.”

“It’s been a few months since I got cut.”

Bain, the head of the Warrug Count family, and Count Millennium greeted each other warmly.

Seonghyuk had also read that they were old friends, so it wasn’t strange.

Count Warrug’s eyes turned to me, who was quietly watching.

“I didn’t know your son would come too. “If I had known, I would have brought Selina with me.”

“I’m sorry for not letting you know in advance.”

“No, I’m sorry.”

Count Warrug said that and turned to me.

He bowed his head slightly and said hello.

“This is Raymond Millennium.”

“Why are you being so stiff? “The whole kingdom knows that you are Raymond Millennium.”

Count Warrug said, laughing.

But even as he said that, he directed his gaze towards Count Millennium.

Of course, Count Warrug also knew very well what Raymond was like and asked with his eyes what was the reason for his changed attitude.

Count Millennium just smiled.

“For now… let’s move. “There’s no need to stay here like this.”

Count Warrug said with a smile.

They moved to the reception room with Count Warrug.

After that, very formal words were exchanged.

“This time, I would like you to attend the banquet jointly hosted by the Millennium Magic Tower and Skylar Magic Tower.”

“Of course I should go.”

Count Warrug responded by nodding his head loudly.

In any case, he knew the purpose of Count Millennium’s coming here, and there was no need to break the long-standing tradition.

He took out an invitation from his pocket and held it out to Count Warrug.

With that, my role here is over.

I listened to the trivial conversations going on, watched the timing, and then opened my mouth.

“I… I’d like to come back after a long time and take a look around the mansion.”

“Feel free to look around. “Take Raymond the butler and take him on a tour of the mansion.”

“yes.”

Count Millennium glanced at me, but I tried to ignore it and walked away with my butler.

I had no desire to watch the men’s conversation forever.

Now I have to put into practice the reason I came here.

I walked around the mansion at a slightly faster pace.

But of course it was not easy to find Selina.

In the end, I asked a question to the butler who was following me and briefly explaining the mansion.

“I’d like to see a place like a training ground, but is that possible?”

The butler thought for a moment and answered.

“The first training ground is difficult because it is being used by knights, and the second training ground is being used by Lady Selina… I think it would be possible to just look around.”

found.

He was looking around the entire mansion to find Selina.

I couldn’t help but be happy that I found where she was.

“Then let’s go there.”

The butler quietly lowered his head.

***

There was really only one person in the second training hall.

Looking at her wearing leather armor and a leather helmet.

I felt a little strange.

Because it felt a little different from what was described in the novel.

‘Is it because I haven’t seen his face properly yet?’

But it wasn’t anything like that.

Because I wasn’t talking about a description of appearance.

Could it be the timing when her talent failed to ignite?

‘It seems a little… clumsy?’

Selina was swinging her sword, but it felt vague somewhere.

It was very awkward for the sword to go out first and the toes to change direction later.

“Hmm.”

I tilted my head and made a small sound, and just then Selina came out and stopped her sword as if she had spotted me and the butler.

She took off her helmet.

Shiny silver hair fell down, and only then was I able to see Selina’s face properly.

It was only then that he realized how high the standard for ‘beautiful’ described in the novel was.

‘Anyone can tell that she’s pretty.’

With beauty like that, there is no one on earth that can match it.

I slowly approached her side.

She tilted her head while looking at me.

“Master Raymond Millennium visited us this time to deliver an invitation to the banquet.”

“Oh, that day is today.”

Selina mumbled as if she now understood and held out her hand.

I immediately extended my hand and shook her hand.

“nice to see you. “It’s Selina Warrug.”

“…This is Raymond Millennium.”

“Ever since I started attending the banquet, you haven’t shown your face, so I wanted to see you at least once, and this is how I see you.”

Selina said with a slight smile.

It was a formal smile, but without realizing it, my eyes fell on her lips.

Raymond is currently 18 years old.

And Selina is 17 years old.

Considering my age, I am in my late 20s, but I was surprised that a 16-year-old could be so mature and beautiful.

‘First of all, more than that…’

That’s not what’s important.

“I guess you were practicing swordsmanship.”

“He’s from the Warrug family.”

I scratched my cheek at her words.

After hesitating for a moment, I told her how I felt a little while ago.

“It seemed like my feet were a little slow to follow when I swung the sword earlier… Is that how it usually works?”

Her eyebrows twitched at my words.

She looked at me with strange eyes.

Is it because of hurt pride or is there another reason?

Selina opened her mouth in a slightly sharper voice than before.

“I guess you know something about swords?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

I shook my head.

I knew full well that Raymond was a swordsman genius.

However, if you asked me if I knew anything about swordsmanship, the answer would be that I didn’t know anything.

Because all I knew was what was in the novel.

“You came to the Warrug family and pointed out swordsmanship. “You are a fun person.”

Selina said, looking at me with strange eyes.

Are you offended?

Her eyebrows twitched. I decided to apologize because there was no need to upset her and make things worse for her.

I am 16 years old.

It was necessary to be careful with even the smallest words.

Even more so if it’s someone I really need to get on my side.

“I didn’t mean to…”

Selina opened her mouth cautiously, but then slowly held out the sword she was holding.

“Kingdom basic swordsmanship. “If you know, would you like to try it?”

She said haughtily.

I apologized and tried to refuse.

But why?

My heart was pounding when I saw the sword Selina held out.

The hand goes out and grabs it.

Selina grins and steps back as if to give it a try.

I slowly raised my sword.

and.

The sword cried.
