[Siren wailing] How's your academic background going? It may be the old man's old age without saying a word, but I'm always worried because there are so many jackals in the Imperial Court. The construction of the elderly is well underway. Lately... (Approximately)

Send the old man's blessings, as always. Please accept it. I always pray for your health.]

- Mareus...

[P.S. I told you before, you're not just swinging swords all day, are you? Ignoring the academic needs of the Emperor... (approximate)]

"I'm sorry.I 'm actually swinging my sword all day long!" ’

Yurius apologizes to him a little, then turns around to see the real ‘gift’ he sent and finally finds his way.

Then he flips the letter over and begins to read with a decryption written by him and Mareus.

[The top contact is going well. But the Blue Dragon Merchants Guild Master has been insisting on seeing the Chief Executive. If you know your identity, how dare you say that... (approximate)]

Yurius shakes his head.

‘No, if it were him, I'd want to see the emperor for myself, not the prince. ’

He who is mentioned in the letter does not believe in anything unless he has seen it with his own eyes.

‘For the sake of smooth relationships, I should head north later. ’

But it's only after you've achieved everything you need to achieve within the Imperial Court.

‘Today is going to be a tense day. ’

Today was the first time he was going to receive a sword training from a superhuman.

Yurius will rendezvous with Lord Haynes and head for the Imperial Arena.

“The Master must not be very angry, right? ”

“Haha, you're surprisingly worried! Would he beat the crap out of me? ”

The supernatural person the emperor asked for his guidance was Grand Master Carlos.

The Empire had four superhumans, but two were now out in a change bag defending the border, and one was Duke Wilhelm, the only uncle of the two popes.

Therefore, there was only one supernatural person to guide him in the Imperial Palace.

Marquis Carlos, Imperial Attendant!

He was a young axial knight among the first to enter stage 4 in his relatively young 40s.

What is also unusual is his faction.

The Emperor thought of him as his own man, and the Grand Duke thought of him secretly as one of his own, even if he didn't express himself.

First of all, the reason for the Emperor's order is that he is the Head of the Approximate Crisis Master who only listens to the Emperor's order. Of course, those who prioritize authenticity think he is the emperor.

However, what took place here was another identity of Earl Carlos.

When Yurius thought about it, he had no choice but to split.

‘The Grand Duke was the fastest man alive. ’

Marquis Carlos has risen to his position purely from the lower nobles of the province! But it was Duke Wilhelm who recognized his talents early on.

Marquis Carlos was the head of the imperial guard, as well as the son-in-law of the Duke Wilhelm who had been married to the daughter of the current Emperor.

Thanks to him, he may be the Grand Duke's magician, but in his previous life, he was unable to move the imperial guards to defend neutrality, even in the imperial status when it mattered most.

“Your Majesty, are you here? ”

The Marquis of Carlos bows politely. In fact, unlike Lord Haynes' concerns, he didn't feel too bad.

The Emperor's request passes through his mind.

“I know you're not going to like it. But please show me the castle in front of my face. ”

“If that's what you're saying, I'll just do it. Don't worry too much. ”

In a word, he was a wooden figure.

Not only does he follow the Emperor's orders, but even his artisan counterpart does not instruct him. Perhaps the most prestigious knight in the Empire will always fit within three fingers.

Yurius is well aware of that.

"That's the kind of person who didn't help me in my past life, right? ’

Probably because he didn't get good grades in his previous life. In fact, even though the Near Crisis Bandit intervened, the aristocratic forces were already too dominant.

An empire that has been leaning toward civil war for a long time, so we don't know what will happen if we lose to the death squad.

But Yurius must change his mind this time. The Grand Duke may be someone else, but the late Carlos is a true knight of loyalty.

‘I must make it my own at this opportunity. ’

Marquis Carlos finishes his greeting and leads Lord Haynes and Yurius to the training ground.

“I already know what you're good at. ”

The monarch gives Sir Haynes a once-in-a-lifetime glance, fixing his gaze on Yurius.

“But I would like you to do a brief duel with me for further education. ”

The Grand Duke was determined to teach the Crown Prince as best he could, as he asked the Emperor. You are lying if you don't pay little attention to the Emperor 1st's ability to master swordsmanship.

“Well, take good care of her. ”

“You're welcome anytime. ”

Yurius faces the Marquis on the other side with his sword drawn.

“Hap!”

Yurius strikes the ground with a duel and swings his sword at the Marquis.

“Grab it!”

Of course, the emperor unwittingly flicks his sword.

You're much more talented than I expected, aren't you? ’

Marquis Carlos stabilizes all of Yurius' swords, swinging them at an invisible speed, without moving a single step in place.

‘The force flow is stable enough as it is almost three steps away. The basis of swordsmanship there is not bad for someone who grew up precious. I can clearly see the evidence of your hard work. ’

The emperor, who diligently meditated on Yurius' sword, began to frown slightly at some point.

Hmm?

The more you block Yurius' sword, the more suspicious he becomes.

“I'll pause for a moment. ”

The monarch stops defending and swings his sword lightly from side to side.

“Huff.”

With that simple gesture, Yurius had to bounce off at once and regain his position.

‘As expected……. ’

The monarch opens his mouth, gazing at Yurius with a expressionless face.

“You're hiding your skills. Is there a reason?”

He is a monarch of wooden character, but a gentle gesture to the eye whether he felt he was being played as an unmanned person.

The attack that just bounced Yurius seemed light, but his true nature required him to roll the ground.

‘It's impossible to hide your skills from a Tier 4 knight. ’

This is why Yurius has been struggling.

I may be a master, but a four-level knight is a superhero who goes beyond man! If you try to hide your skill a few times, it won't be hard to find out that he's a loose cannon.

“I'm sorry, Earl Carlos. I meant no disrespect! ”

Yurius apologizes with a deep burial.

The prince apologizes with his head down, but the prince also looks slightly questionable. Lord Haynes, who was watching in the corner of the arena, came to see if he felt anything.

“Your apology is hard for me to accept. ”

“Master, is there a problem? ”

Yurius sweeps the two and looks solemn.

“Marquis Carlos! Sir Haynes, can you promise not to tell anyone what you saw here? ”

[Tiring!]

[The trait ‘Emperor's majesty’ is triggered.]

[Increases charisma and charm.]

The emperor Carlos was a little embarrassed when he suddenly felt the pressure to see the emperor or the emperor in front of him.

Was the First Prince like this? ’

He was not at all interested in the imperial power struggle, but he knew that even though the first prince was quite good, he was not so sincere these days except by sword.

“If this is not harmful to the Empire and the Emperor, I promise to honor my knights and not tell anyone what happened here." ”

Earl Carlos has decided to investigate the prince's intentions.

“I pledge my allegiance. ”

Lord Haynes, of course, is not one to speak ill of himself.

Yurius nods.

“Then, my lord, come out and fight me again. ”

“I understand.”

Once again, Yurius and the Grand Duke face each other on the battlefield.

‘This time I will do my best. ’

Yurius takes his sword seriously this time, pointing at the Marquis.

“Whoo-hoo.”

Yurius pulls the force from the circle to its maximum output.

His black force is injected and the typed force aggregates out of the sword beyond merely a bluish glow.

"Phase 3! That's also quite skilled. ’

The Grand Duke takes himself seriously, feeling surprised. It's hard to deal with the First Prince with an unarmed man like this.

“Phew!”

As Yurius and the Marquis clash, a noise erupts from the arena.

A brawl is more than once. Immediately, a shimmering sword began to pour down like an egg on the Marquis.

But the Grand Marquis is the most famous superman on the continent!

Although not as lightly blocked as before, it combs through most of the swords and pierces them between Yurius' swords to prevent his aggression.

At first glance, Yurius suffers no small loss due to the skill of the seasoned Marquis.

‘I knew I'd be forced to use a pure sword. ’

Even though he has been training steadily since his previous life, his business is emperor. Since childhood, the skills of the sword itself that must be repeated continuously must be lost to the superhuman knights.

‘But I have other advantages now. ’

Yurius suddenly clenches his fist and slams into the Marquis's Blade.

The fist that surrounds Forsfield? However, if you protect your hands intensively, the density of the force that is aggregated elsewhere will weaken. ’

The Marquis raises his sword with a curious look. His sword is cleverly divided into two, one aiming at Yurius' fist and one at his shoulder.

Three-phase applications, such as forcefields and forceps, are useful on the battlefield, but they are very low in one-on-one utilization with unmanned personnel above a certain level.

This is because detailed control is required, which necessarily makes it difficult to control the force focused on weapons or defenses. With the same amount of energy, it was inevitable that it would be more efficient to focus on one purpose.

But...

“Phew!”

The Marquis's body shakes violently for the first time. Unlike his intention to block the focused fist of the Force and pierce its weakness, both of his attacks bounce off.

“!?!? ”

Not only that!

The monarch, who switched from fierce to defensive, senses an invisible hand trying to grab his neck.

‘Forgrip!? ’

The Marquis of Darkness is a superhuman. It was a sudden attack, but the monarch managed to stop it again. The user strikes back with a sudden burst of energy to blame its neck.

But Yurius presses the neck of the Marquis with a phosgrip, whipping his sword around like a storm with no control whatsoever.

This is the power of the quad core!

Regular knights can't manipulate a precise force by simultaneously strengthening the body and weapon, no matter how powerful the force controls are.

Forces circulating in circles generally strengthen the body and weapons, but cannot be quickly focused elsewhere.

But Yurius, who has four cores, is in a different situation.

The first core assists in the strengthening of the sword and the flesh.

The second core interrupts the Marquis's movement with a phosgrip.

The third core engages a surprise attack by aggregating the force on the fist and foot, not the sword.

The fourth core moves gracefully in mid-air, aiming at the duchess's blind spot.

Since these four cores have been organically assisting and attacking in strange ways with free materials, no matter how superhuman the Marquis may be, he can only regain consciousness for a moment.

[Tiring!]

[Skill multitasking has been created.]

This is called multitasking! It was one of the greatest achievements he gained after his return.

“Take it.”

Due to the panic, there's finally a slight gap in the Marquis of Doom's Iron Wall defense!

Opportunity!

A perfect opportunity for Yurius' sword to tear the Marquis apart in an instant.

He lunges at the duchess with all his might.
