Duke Meutt's castle.

Temple of knight.

Duke Meutt and the knights of a hundred disciples gather in the Kingdom of Leaden as well as the entire continent.

Many knights have visited here because they admire their reputation and insist on being an unmanned person. The word Temple of Night was the nickname that was born.

A man appeared here on a horse.

Strong gates and tall walls greet the man.

The man was impressed.

“It is the fortress of Duke Krail Meutt. I don't think a million troops will attack and shut me down. I wish our family could build Kunt Castle like this. ”

Writer Kunt's gaju basque looked around the castle and was amazed.

The majestic wall of Meutt Castle itself seems to represent the spirit of Duke Meutt, who himself will defend the kingdom from the Horn Empire. As a man, as a knight of a country, how proud would I be to have this castle?

“I should tell Arthur to renovate Kunt Castle like this. Given the atmosphere, my family seems to have a lot of money these days. ”

Basque thought that building a strong wall wouldn't be difficult if he could use the skill of the animist, Caroc.

I was looking around the castle for a while, and a group of riders rushed towards him. The heavy equipment with armor and barding makes it appear to be the official cavalry of Duke Meutt.

The cavalry quickly surrounded Basque.

‘Wow, your training is going well. The Duke of Meutt! ’

Basque was busy admiring, rather than being nervous.

“Identification, please! I'll assume you're a spy when I'm not sure who you are. ”

“Huh?"

What are you, some kind of a spy?

Then Basque realized that his actions that he had been wandering around the castle were enough to be suspected of being a spy.

Basque smiled and pulled out his ID in his arms.

“Bird of Kunt Basque. Duke Meutt's disciple, Rick Kunt, is also my son. ”

A leader who appears to be the leader of the cavalry approaches and confirms his identity.

“Excuse me, Mr. Kunt. I've heard a lot about you. ”

“I'm sorry. Seeing the magnificence of the castle was the act of a spy without fail. ”

“Haha, thank you. The Duke will be pleased to hear that compliment. But are you here to see your son? ”

“I'd like to see his face, but the duc has his business. ”

“I see. Then we'll show you. ”

“Thank you.”

Basque went inside the castle with the cavalry for good. The cavalry members whispered as they accompanied him.

“That's Duke Kunt. ”

“He looks just like Rick said. ”

“But is his personality really as bad as Rick says? Doesn't look like it. ”

“Usually it's decent, but once you see blood, your eyes flip. ”

“It's a berserker, a berserker. ”

I whispered that I didn't hear it, but I could hear it all in Basque's ear, who became a master of error.

"Rick, this guy! If you're bored here, you're just gossiping about me. You must have had a grudge against me for your defeat. You little twerp. I'm going to expand your spirituality to a whole new level today. ’

Basque, the mouse with his fists clenched in vengeance, could not say that he was also broad-minded.

The head of the cavalry sent word to Basque.

“The Duke never meets his guests during training hours. You may want to wait until evening. ”

“Is it still training time? ”

“Yes, it's time to lead your disciples. Take ten people in shifts each day. ”

“Even better. ”

“Yes?”

“No.”

When he finally arrived at the mansion, the cavalry said goodbye and left.

Basque went inside.

A cavalry member informs you that Bird of Kunt has arrived, and your servant is standing by.

“Kunt, I'll show you to your room. The Duke is currently training with his disciples, so we will see him only after dinner. ”

“I want to see you now. ”

The servant says with a brooding face.

“Sorry, no one will see you during training. ”

“Don't do that. Tell him. I'm sure you'll agree to meet him. ”

“…… Now that you mention it, I'll give you some news. ”

“Got it.”

The servant guides Basque to his room and disappears.

Basque took off his coat, threw it on the bed, and sat on the floor.

“Let's get started.”

Shiek smiled at Basque and started brewing.

After gaining enlightenment, the dramatic increase began to swing around like a tidal wave.

Duke Meutt will notice.

The fact that an error master like himself is here.

* * *

Duke Meutt looked at the ten disciples who were studying hard with cold eyes.

I just stood still with a solemn look on my face, but occasionally I gave my disciples sharp advice.

“Rick.”

“Yes? Did I do something wrong again? ”

Rick stops the sword and turns around.

“I'm weak. ”

“Oh, I just needed a little more speed. ”

“Speed and skill are sufficient, but sometimes you must be able to inflict great destructive power on one attack. Only then will the enemy fear you and begin to fear your swift speed. ”

“I understand.”

Rick takes a deep breath and releases his sword again.

Long Sword, full of powerful errors, cuts through the air forcefully. The sound of cutting the wind sounded so loud that the other disciples who were training together were flawed.

But it was then.

“Enough.”

A restraining order has been issued from Duke Meutt.

Everyone stopped training with a curious look.

“Guests are coming. Stand back and wait."

“Yes?”

Ten disciples, including Rick, still face the unknown. However, they all withdrew from the training ground because the teacher's orders were a rule.

A servant appears shortly after.

“Duke. ”

“Who are the guests? ”

“Yes? Ah, the Bard, the Baron of Basque Kunt. ”

The servant stutters, startled by Duke Meutt, who already knew his guest was coming.

Rick is surprised by the words "Bird of Kunt," too.

“Were you my father? ”

Duke Meutt ignores Rick and says to his servant,

“Take her.”

“Yes!”

The disciples murmured as Duke Meutt had never met a guest during training. Even a few decades ago, the anecdote that the king had kept waiting until evening was told like a legend.

However, when I heard that Bird of Kunt had come, I called him even though it was time for training.

“Is it because of your father? ”

“Son, would you treat my father any differently? ”

“Brother Rick, you said your father was a great man. ”

“Hehe, no matter how skilled you are, you're one step ahead of the teacher. ”

“Rick. Why don't you respect your father? ”

“Hmph, I write 'Father' and read 'Ahasuk'. You'll see. If I get better, I'll show you the bitterness of defeat. ”

While the disciples were chatting nonsense, Basque appeared.

Basque bowed one knee and stood before Duke Meutt.

“Have you been well? ”

“What are you doing to my health? If I had a cold, it would be ridiculous. Anyway, it's been a long time. Get up. ”

“Yes.”

Basque got up from his seat. Then I bent my waist and invited him.

“I dare ask you to teach me one more time. ”

“I wish. ”

The disciples are dumbfounded because they don't know what's going on.

It would be rude to ask the master for a duel. It is common courtesy not to ask again if you have fought once. The Pokémon never becomes the opponent.

However, Duke Meutt is responding as if he was waiting.

Duke Meutt chose the best sword he had ever received from Caroc at the waistdance. Smoothly stretched misrel long sword.

Basque also walked out to the training ground and took out his long sword.

Bang bang.

My heart was racing like crazy.

It was like a dream to become an error master and finally be able to compete with the most respected unmanned. Duke Meutt felt as if he were flying because he recognized himself as the enemy.

‘I'll show you everything I have. I will be recognized by him for being a great unarmed man. ’

Basque focused his mind.

You put in the Kunt family's household basque and took away their nature lurking on the other side of the ritual.
