Marquis' Express Butler

The clue was Mana.

I've been using Mana as my own. I had no reason not to use my abilities.

So far it has been in the face of the enemy. Dangerous or not, I used the Mana Pistol and sometimes put Mana in my sword to destroy or disable the opponent's weapon.

And now?

I was still held captive by the chains of Manara. When my body is hard, my heart reacts and tries to gush Mana out. He had unconsciously chosen a fast and comfortable path, like the modern man's habit.

But what if instead of relying on Mana, I only use my pure physical strength?

“Even if there are no dramatic changes, there is a possibility that something new will appear. ”

When I came to that thought, my heart was calm like a lake.

At that moment, Arthur and his eyes met. I'm intrigued by his eyes, but I think I've realized something.

“Okay, let's do it. ”

I made a decision to take the sword.

I didn't even think about what pose Arthur took, and how he wielded his sword. The sword just aims in the direction it wants to go and strikes.

Whee!

“Huh?"

Arthurs was amazed. Of course, I was surprised when he wielded the sword.

The sound changes. I think I can find the answer in just a few more steps. I broke through the shackles of Mana and wielded my sword.

Shhh!

It sounded similar. The power was also considerable. It seemed like you were wielding a dark sword, not a wooden sword.

“How the hell……. ”

Arthurs was the one who asked. He stared at me frankly, surprised.

What was just a clue has now turned into a solid theory. It would normally take decades, but I did it in just a few minutes.

You told me to be a genius when the time was right.

I wanted to argue that way, but now I had to focus more on this feeling. Somehow, after this moment, my sense of smell will disappear completely.

So I kept swinging my sword.

I let it slip out of the frame and go where it wants.

At the same time, I raised my physical abilities to the limit when I was reborn. To push the envelope, sealing Mana thoroughly.

This time, you swing your sword in succession.

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

I wonder how many times he wielded his sword.

As I was struck by a truck and suddenly opened my eyes from another world, more sudden and surprising changes have come.

I felt like I was gradually getting away. All movements appear slow, as if submerged, and you feel a ghostly sensation that gradually fades around you.

In the end, the whole world was filled with fog.

I lost my way, but I just swung my sword relentlessly as if there was a purpose to what I didn't have.

I fell into a trance.

…….

Oh, shit!

I felt a tingling sensation in my fingertips.

“Huff!”

I retreated in horror. The distant surroundings return to normal. The fog was fading.

It was a dream, all of a sudden.

How long has it been? I woke up and looked around. Once I was drunk, I was still holding on to that sword.

“Hey, you okay? ”

Arthurs asked.

You feel the pain of your palms ripping at the sight of how you swing your sword.

But it wasn't just pain.

I felt pretty good. I felt like I had come to the sauna after sweating coolly.

“Hey, Dylan! Wake up!”

“Huh?"

Then I came to my senses.

Arthur was holding a wooden sword, and he must have swung it and struck me with it. And the sound and the shock got me out of the trance.

The moment I realized the reality, I was overwhelmed with overwhelming fatigue. Arthurs rushed to me.

“Are you okay?"

Nevertheless, I did not resist once and sat down. My head is spinning. It felt like all of my body had gone out.

“What--what's going on? ”

When I put my hands on my chest, my heart was beating irregularly.

Not only that.

Manawa, who was gathering in her heart, was shaking unstable. Even some of the Mana circuits close to the heart were damaged.

I just realized that I'm in a very dangerous situation.

In a no-nonsense novel, Arthurs said not to interrupt when he was ecstatic. He thought he might have died training if he woke up a little later.

“Are you really a genius? How could you do this? What the hell did I see? Huh? What? Talk to me! I don't know what you did! ”

Arthur still doesn't seem to believe it. But there was only one option I could answer.

“What did I do? ”

“Don't you remember? ”

“Nothing.”

However, my body was lighter even in the fierce fatigue, and my hands were full of confidence. There were only two changes I could feel right now.

Arthur raises his voice in an excited tone.

“You wielded your sword! With tremendous speed and strength! Like a madman with a sword! ”

“I don't remember at all...... I really did it? ”

Arthur nods.

I don't think he's lying.

“Me?”

I stare blankly at the wooden sword in my hand. I never thought a CCTV moment like this would ever come again. I wish there was a camcorder.

I stood up again, rejoicing in the confidence I felt in my sword hand.

“Hey, don't overdo it, sit down! ”

“It's okay.”

You sprinkle Arthurs and take the sword he gave you.

Knng.

Grip naturally builds strength, and a sword is drawn in your head. No, the moment I realized it was drawn, it was already flowing along the Black Sword.

Clamps!

A Processable Attack. The sound of the wooden sword cutting through the wind was an art. If you only see power, you can overcome it.

“No way.... ”

Arthur was not a fool. He's been holding a sword since he was four years old, and he was the most hardworking genius of all.

But I couldn't help but acknowledge myself as long as I saw this incredible scene.

I've clearly gone beyond one step.

“Why are you looking at me like that? You told me to be a genius when the time was right. ”

That's all I could ask. Arthur laughs silently for a while. Then I shook my head several times.

“He really doesn't understand. You.”

“You don't have to try to understand what you don't understand. ”

“Is that so? By the way, that move you learned is the basic sword from our Mercianne family. The Mercianne Sword Formula 1. Slash the line.”

“What a magnificent name. How about two?”

“It's good to master the first expression completely and then learn it, but I feel like I need to teach it right now. Are you gonna be okay? ”

Arthurs twirls his wooden sword with provocative bites. I turned the wooden sword around, too.

“When I'm done here, I'll throw away my appetite. Let's get to the end. Let me see how good your family's swords are. ”

“You don't know if you're going to fall? ”

“Only death will do. ”

Now I was able to suck water like a dry sponge.

“Then take a good look. The second, horizontal cut of the Meridian sword. This is how you swing the sword after the first move. Ha! Haha! ”

Arthur demonstrated in succession, and I followed that posture.

I don't know how much time has passed.

But when we were tired of falling down, the morning sun was rising on the other side of the sky.

“White...... burnt. ”

I muttered like that, reaching out to the battlefield as a godfather and closing my eyes.

It was not a lack of results.

I have mastered the fifth formula of the Meridian sword with the realization of the Abyss. Above Arthur himself, as a prototype.

* * *

My whole body aches. I feel like I have a cold and my fever is rising to 40 degrees.

“Not Manaro either. Hah. This is the worst. ”

I tried to use Mana to restore my health, but it failed. I felt that I shouldn't overdo the damage to Mana circuits near my heart.

The damaged Mana circuits were recovering gradually, although at a very slow rate. I think I'll be back by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

“I don't think we should overdo it until then. Do you think you can get some medicine? ”

Of course, there is a hospital in the Adeline mansion. A few doctors, full of precious medicines.

But the problem is that all of those facilities are not available to apprentices.

I think we can work something out with Arwen. I think we should talk about it over breakfast later.

I can't take a vacation because I'm sick. Of course, I have numerous award holidays, which have been added to my training and practice. Unfortunately, it is difficult to use on the same day off.

Moreover, I am not an ordinary job and I am supporting Sapiella's love life, so I cannot rest freely.

“Let's eat first. Fill your stomach and you'll feel better. ”

I went to Rosetta, but there was no room.

There were too many senior officials than none. I didn't want to eat breakfast uncomfortably without noticing.

So I moved to Alio, the fifth restaurant, where I began to eat slowly and comfortably.

But peace was brief.

“Dylan! Is that true? ”

“Sir Laurentz and I are fighting. Everyone's in a frenzy right now. When are we fighting? Huh?”

I sigh. I put down my fork for a moment and forced them to smile.

“I'm sorry, can I eat something? I'm a little tired. ”

“Oh, well, well…. ”

Is your face too rotten? The colleagues walked away with a nice smile. They used to be good guys, but I'm sorry about that.

After finishing breakfast, I returned the dishes and went back to my room to refine my clothes. After that, I was able to go to the abode of spiritual life.

There, Lord Laurentz, is the leader of the rumors.

“Hello.”

I'm not denying that life is in the way that you look at me. I could draw my sword right now.

“Good morning. Lord Laurentz.”

“Good morning. What the hell are you talking about? You damn apprentice. ”

“You're talking too much. I'm afraid the lady will listen. ”

“Ha!”

Lord Laurentz snorts. He rubs his sword and comes at me loudly.

“Who's a coward? He really doesn't know the fountain. You really don't know you can take a punch? Don't you see I have shown you mercy for your patience? ”

“If I'm being honest, I don't know. I haven't lost the will to compete yet. ”

If you raise your mouth once here, he'll be caught in my trap.

Yikes.

I laughed and Laurentz was furious. He took off his gloves and threw them in my face. Of course, I didn't just get hit, but I grabbed the gloves.

Good. This concludes the duel.

“Tomorrow I will personally slit your throat! I hope you don't run away because you're scared. ”

“This is your chance to learn. Please take good care of it."

“What are you studying for? Tomorrow, you won't be a man of the world! ”

Then you hear a door open behind you. A maid reaches out her head with a tense face.

“My Lord. I'm sorry, but the lady wants to know what's going on. ”

“Hmph, nothing! ”

Laurentz returns to his seat. I followed the maid who opened the door with a relaxed smile and entered the spiritual home.

The dice were thrown.
