Price of Management

“Huff!”

Patrick throws himself off the ground and dodges.

What the hell is he doing? What if my Patrick gets hurt?

While Patrick is under attack, Richard charges at his father. A fierce assault rages like a storm.

However, he calmly stopped them all, and rather, he wanted a chance to fight back.

Patrick has been compromised as well.

When Richard strikes from the front, Patrick is an unified, swift, bludgeoning attack. I was amazed that it was a well-breathed joint.

However, his response was even more subtle.

It was urgent to attack two people, but my father couldn't afford to lose his time.

How is that possible?

I realized that my father's movements were much more concise than before after the observations.

You defend against only critical hits aiming at the critical point, and avoid other good attacks with minimal movement. Even Patrick's sharp senses couldn't touch his father's fur!

He was better than ever.

You can easily evade or stop both Richard and Patrick's attacks.

That was proof that my father was training to become a master, and was bearing fruit.

Then Patrick stabs you again. The tip of the sword is swarming towards his father's glabella.

He turned his head to the side and avoided.

But there was another bar Patrick was after.

He tried to grab his father by the collar with his left hand, not the sword.

Is that a magic trick?

Patrick's dazzling surprise, from prick to euphemism!

My father was flawed at the same time.

“Great!”

He leans his torso back and barely dodges Patrick's hand, grinning.

His father grabs Patrick's right shoulder and throws it to Richard, who's trying to attack.

“Grrrgh!"

Patrick and Richard stumble at each other.

“Krriaa!”

Rrrrgh!

Screaming, my father accepted two tangled men into his body.

“Grrrgh!"

“Ugh!"

The two men fly far away, rolling around on the floor in a fistfight filled with Father's super-strength.

My father smiles faintly, putting a long sword into the sword.

“Hahaha! You can't beat me even if you two come at me? Weak! I have no enemies! ”

“Hnng... ”

“Ugh.”

Richard and Patrick look furious.

It's my turn to take the lead.

Uh-huh.

I walked into the training ground and yelled at my father.

“You must be bored without an opponent? ”

“If you say so... Huff! ”

My father was furious when he saw my face instead of talking. Richard and Patrick look surprised to see me.

I laughed and approached my father.

“My father says he's bored because he has no enemies, but I, the famous saint, cannot stand by and do nothing. ”

He was embarrassed.

“Crucible. Oh, no. In fact, Sir Richard and Sir Condol are both excellent opponents. And since when did you become such a famous saint? ”

“Oh, no. I'm not enough, but I will be your opponent. ”

“Okay, I got it. He just got back. He must be tired. Why don't you rest? ”

My father was afraid of losing to me as a son. You're afraid you'll be face-to-face, huh?

“Are you afraid? ”

I opened my eyes and asked. The simple father was tenacious.

“Myself, when did I become afraid?! I'm just tired. I just finished a duel. ”

“I think you're still full of energy.... ”

“Aye! Shut up! Today's training is over! I'm tired. I can't do this anymore. ”

Tsk, tsk. That's how you hate losing to your son!

Anyway, the knights cheered. It seemed to be suffered by my father a lot. I don't know how hard my father's training must have been. Poor guys...

“Lord!”

Patrick rushes forward with a happy face. I was glad to see Patrick's face.

Future mercenary king! The more I look at it, the more relieved I feel. The way Emperor Kars carried Earl Halstein around like a shadow. It's kind of my emergency.

“What do you think? I've suffered a lot from your father while I was gone. Will this lord avenge me? ”

Father, you underestimate me. Ahaha. Of course, I never meant to embarrass my father, but it was fun to see him. When else could I embarrass my father in my life?

Good Patrick shakes his head with a smile.

“No. It's been hard, but my skills seem to be accelerating. ”

“That's true. Growing at a normal rate, but things have gotten strangely sharp since I've been to Orient Kingdom. I couldn't be more careless. ”

“I've fought Duke Britain in the Orient Kingdom. As expected, the struggle with the error master seems to play an important role in growth. Your father was stronger than Duke Meutt. ”

“By the way, Caroc, was it true that you fought Duke Joel Briton? Tell me that story. ”

I shook my head.

“It was a draw, but Duke Britain wasn't doing a very good job. If it was a fight that really had to kill each other, things would be different. ”

“Still, you're not defeated by the famous Duke Joel Briton, are you really Carroc? ”

He looked at me with a face filled with awe and asked. Then I'm Caroc. What is it? Is it weird that I look great?!

“I have more hot news than that. ”

“What's that? ”

“During the Baden River negotiations, Duke Meutt and Earl Halstein of the Horn Empire fought. ”

“What?! ”

“Huff! The Battle of the Masters! ”

“Duke Meutt? ”

“Earl Halstein, Castel Castle! ”

My frightened father, as well as the knights, came to me with deafening ears.

Hmm. How do you tell a story to give a sense of urgency?

Ah! Let's use animisty!

While thinking about it quietly, I suddenly came up with a good idea.

“Noum! Wounded! ”

- Did you call him?

- Yeah!

Norm and Woundee appear.

As soon as Woundee was summoned, she sat on my shoulder and kissed me on the cheek and expressed her affection.

By the way, I thought Wounded and Salamander might be disappointed because they only summoned Norm for a while.

You need to focus on the future.

I conveyed my thoughts to the two spirits.

- This is gonna be fun!

The enormous gaze of gnome flashes.

- Yeah, it'll be fun.

Woundee also became as excited as a child who heard her father say to go for a picnic tomorrow.

“What the hell are you doing? ”

A curious father asked me, and I smiled.

“What do you do if you talk hard with your mouth? I can't just show you. ”

“Show it to me? ”

That's when Norm and Woundee began to perform.

The gnome draws out a pile of dirt from the depths of the earth. Then Woundee pours water and turns it into mud.

The mud twitches into two large chunks, and the shape begins to twitch.

My arms and legs were raised, and I stood on my feet, and my face was made. Fingers and toes were made and facial features were made.

After a short time, the two chunks of mud became Duke Meutt and Earl Halstein.

The detail looked not only the same size, but it was the same size as the reality.

If I painted it with paint, it would be exactly the same, but let's not get too greedy.

I'm not an artist.

“Oh!”

“Duke Meutt! I've seen you before! ”

“So that's Earl Halstein on the other side. ”

“Are we going to see a duel? Amazing!”

I told the excitement knights.

“Come on. Calm down. We're going to recreate a duel between the two of you, so step back. ”

My father and the knights retreated widely and made room.

“Of course, we can't reproduce the heavy pressure that overwhelmed the left and the choking shock waves that shook the air around us, but we're going to show you exactly the same technology and speed as before. It's not an opportunity every day, so you'd better keep your eyes open. ”

Knights swallow expectations and open their eyes.

The battle has finally begun.

The two Mudskippers began to fight at incredible speed.

The detailed movements from head to toe were completely reproduced, from head to toe.

It's because the Spirit, Norm, remembered them perfectly.

Fight from the left and then from the right.

Two clay dolls that use the entire training ground almost like flying around and are screened like a storm.

When I saw the Judgment at that time, I couldn't help but feel that I was choked by the powerful power of the blade, but now I see that their pure swordsmanship was also enormous.

Every movement of blocking and cutting was perfectly balanced, like a textbook of swordsmanship.

I'm a master of error.

The knights fell in love with the battle.

However, his expression was almost frozen.

Workshop that fits perfectly like a cog.

A more sophisticated fight than the two of you coming together and making a perfect one!

The high-quality swordsmanship skills demonstrated by the two Mudskippers seemed to have completely moved my father.

He was a father close to the master, so he recognized the value.

Maybe it was a good opportunity.

I eagerly hoped that this would be the opportunity for my father to come and cross the Master's Wall.

The battle is over in a long time. It was a draw just like then.

“I knew it!"

“Duke Meutt is amazing. ”

“Earl Halstein was a tough guy. ”

The knights excitedly chatted with each other and created an upbeat atmosphere.

However, there were some who did not.

Those who were overwhelmed by the perfect sword the Lord of the Two Swords showed them and could not say a word.

My father did. Richard and Patrick did.

My father looked at me and opened his mouth tightly.

“Caroc. How does this fight look to you? ”

“I was the judge of that moment. In my judgment, you were both in a draw. But when I looked closely at the battle with my senses and my gnomes, I saw that there was a very slight difference between Duke Meutt's dominance. ”

“Yes, that's what I thought a little bit. Duke Meutt's side was more spare than I could say. It's a very minor difference, but it's hard to tell the difference. ”

“Yes, you did. ”

I spoke aloud so that even the knights could hear.

“By the time they pulled out their swords and faced each other, they were already fully aware of each other. But even if you fight in broad daylight, it's not a draw. Obviously, there was a difference between the two to determine the advantage. I think it's a view from a distance. ”
