I Aim to Be an Adventurer with the Jobclass of “Jobless”

Elysia's Secrets ⑥ Elysia's Past Preliminary

* Elysian Perspective *

There was something I wanted to be before I realized it.

Becoming a knight.

Being a stronger knight than anyone else.

Still the same, that was my only goal.

You're a girl, how could you?

Sometimes they said that.

Each time, I...

"I want to put everyone away, like an old horse!

This is what I was answering.

My house is a family of knights.

Bok's father, who spawned many knights from generation to generation and prominently excelled among them, was a man whose many achievements were appreciated after he was head of the First Knights of the King's Capital and even became a Kingsguard knight under the direct command of the King.

My father was proud of me.

I guess that's why.

I was taking the sword, too, when I realized it.

My dad told me about the kid.

"Ellie has a gift for a sword."

He stroked his head pompous and smiled at me.

That I was told I was talented.

That my father was happy for me.

I couldn't wait to see it, and I waved my sword without resting every day.

When I was seven years old, I tried to compete in a swordsmanship tournament in Wangdu.

Even when it comes to competitions, they are small competitions that only children of the same age can participate in.

All the contestants but me were boys.

I asked my father to join me because he couldn't.

And I won that tournament.

That's what I kept waving my sword at.

"Guys, you see, my daughter won!

That's what my father said all around me.

"Ellie is a genius! You're gonna be a great knight in the future!

I was going to do the same.

I believed I could be.

"It will be like you!

When I said it, my father stroked my pompous head, as he always did.

Those big hands are gentle, warm and reassuring.

I loved my father.

I respected it.

It was a goal.

It was ideal.

Then again, I did the sword arch as time allowed.

On the day my father had time, he sometimes asked me to give him an audition.

Even when it comes to archery, I just ask my father to take the sword.

It was like a toy game now that I think about it.

Still, I was satisfied.

Because I felt a little closer to my respected father.

"Ellie is a girl, so how about a piano or a dance over a sword?

My mother has said that from time to time.

Maybe he didn't like me very much to encourage the archery of swordsmanship.

"Oh, my God, Ellie better have a sword."

When I said that, my mother looked in trouble.

But even my mother never tried to force me to stop.

I think my father and mother respected my feelings.

That's why I waved my sword.

Eight, nine, ten.

The trophy that won the swordsmanship tournament was lined up at home.

Once in a while I stopped, my father looked at it and smiled.

I'm happy now.

I further encouraged the archery of the sword.

It was about that time that my father became a Kingsguard knight.

A proud father became a more proud father.

And I felt even stronger about becoming a knight.

I didn't doubt it then, believe me.

In the future, I believed I could be a fine knight no one could beat - a knight like my father.

But...

"Eh."

The wooden sword was played.

It's an 11-year-old swordsmanship tournament.

I lost the final.

This is the first time I've lost.

In front of my father watching.

"You're a woman, aren't you? Why is there a swordsmanship tournament out there?

The other child told me that.

I still remember that.

Because she's a woman?

What does that mean?

I didn't know what his words were meant to be at this time.

But at that time, I just regretted losing.

I almost burst into tears.

But I did.

I can't believe I'm crying over losing, because I didn't want my father to see me.

"Ellie, I'm so sorry."

"Huh...?

As always, my father stroked my pompous head.

But that's all they said.

We don't have enough archery!

The cut is sweet!

Move faster!

I thought you were gonna say some tough words.

But I was relieved that I wasn't angry.

Then every day, I did a tougher audition than ever before.

I don't want to regret it anymore.

Definitely win the next tournament.

I kept waving my sword like that.

And a twelve-year-old swordsmanship tournament.

"Father, watch! I will definitely win!

I swore to my father.

"Right. I'm looking forward to it."

My father smiled at me.

Now is the time, I will definitely win!

I'll make my father happy!

Games I wanted in that way.

World War I, World War II and won up.

But I felt uncomfortable.

It wasn't as easy to beat as it used to be.

I should have done all those arches every day and polished my swordsmanship.

I'm sure I'm getting stronger.

There was also that awareness.

But I never felt stronger around me than that.

And WW3.

My opponent has won before.

I've never lost before.

You must win.

I thought so, and I held the sword.

As soon as it started, the other guy cut it off.

The sword and sword collide.

Try to push it back - but I couldn't push my opponent's sword back.

He was pushed down hard as it was, and I fell in and dropped the wooden sword I was supposed to be holding.

I saw a sword over my head.

Hit.

But the sword was never wavered.

The referee stopped, and I lost.

It's just WW3.

I should have loaded an archery to win, but the results weren't exciting at all.

I promised my father I'd win.

I wonder what didn't work?

Was there not enough archery?

But I can't take any more sword time.

At school, you must also learn academics.

If you're going to be a knight, your father said you have to be able to read, write, and so on.

I am also learning court manipulation.

It seems necessary when greeting the nobles.

My father tells me I need this too.

What am I supposed to do?

There is limited time to do sword arches.

My father stroked my flashing head.

Like always, my father's hands were sweet.

"I promised I'd win... sorry"

I won't cry if I lose.

That's what I had decided.

But I couldn't stop crying.

"Ellie... if it's hard, you can stop with the sword, okay?

My father said that when he saw me crying.

I shook my head to the side.

Did Dad think I didn't like swordsmanship?

I saw my father's words that way at this time.

But I soon learned it was a mistake.
