That's it!

Seeing Rick's defensive posture unwittingly, Basque cries out in joy.

That's exactly what Earl Great Gen showed us when he stopped Caroc from going blind!

Rick, obsessed with ecstasy, is unaware of it. Just instinctively swinging the wooden sword.

Basque has to deal with Rick carefully so that he doesn't wake up from the flow.

If I woke up wrong, I might literally wake up and bury the realization on the other side of my memory again.

However, Basque's sword against Rick gradually rises to a new level. Occasionally counteracted on the defense side, including a high-level attack with a master's guilt. Rick moves instinctively, stopping or avoiding them.

Suddenly, the duel between the father and the youngest son was transformed into an unmanned battle.

Of course, Rick is still at large, but the one who is bleeding to death is Basque.

It's because Rick had to be careful to make sure that landscape was his own. If I had made one mistake, it would have been something I would have regretted for the rest of my life!

‘There's nothing to make your father suffer. ’

Basque is more nervous than when he participated in the civil war and deals with Rick carefully.

Phew! Phew! Puck!

The wooden sword joyfully collided.

Rick has now begun to blend his speedy style into a master-level aesthetic. I was instinctively searching for the most effective sword I could.

As Rick's dazzling speed continues to overwhelm him, Basque decides to become more skillful. It's a strategy that puts pressure on Rick's aggression by giving him a strong body fight.

Despite the overwhelming hardship of the error master, the basic stamina conditions were far superior to basque with a strong body and strong stamina. Even Duke Meutt's aggressive force was supported by such stamina conditions, in addition to his favorable temperament.

With respect to the basque being pushed strongly into a body fight, Rick steps left and right to respond in a way that avoids a head-on collision. He instinctively knew that if he stepped back, he would get stuck in a hurry.

‘Now I have to make a decision. ’

Basque felt its timing was ripe. Soon.

“Different!”

Kuang ―

Blade protrudes out of the Basque Wooden Sword with a loud clash.

The blade flies straight at Rick. I had the strength to pull both sides of my body from my head.

Surprised, Rick raises his reflective wooden sword at an angle and takes a defensive action. But Rick's life seems at stake because one of the wooden swords was ready to stop Blade.

But then something amazing happened.

Kuaaaaaaang!

The aftermath of the conflict shook the entire training ground.

Two error blades clash and struggle.

“Huh? Huh?! ”

Rick makes a peculiar sound, startled by the fact that Blade stopped Basque's deadly blow. I couldn't believe he made a blade to come. Also, it was not an error blade that disappeared after a few seconds, but that of a real error master.

Woojik ― Qajik!

In the end, the two wooden swords did not withstand the pressure of the condensed error at high density and were shattered.

Basque swung out his remaining wooden sword and laughed at his son with a frowny face.

“Congratulations."

Then Rick realizes he has what he dreamed of.

The memories of me sweating to become a master came to my mind.

It also reminded me of Duke Meutt, his father, and the martyrdom of the great powers he had seen firsthand.

I think I finally understand the nature of swordsmanship. No, that's what I knew from the start. Everyone who was an unmanned person already knew, but he was not aware, so the seaweed was the truth of nothing.

After a near-death ordeal, Rick walks to the end without giving up, finally achieving his goal.

“Ahh…! ”

Tears poured out from my heart. All that effort has finally been rewarded. It was not in vain.

Rick finds out that his father led him.

Before, I didn't know, but now that I realized the drama of nothingness, I can now see what it meant for my father's actions in that duel, such as "play."

Rick kneels.

“ ……?! ”

Basque was surprised at his actions. It would not have been pride if it had been Rick.

“Thank you for your kindness, Father. ”

“You……. ”

Basque glanced down at him with a joyful look.

Two unmanned men walking the same path.

Two men with a struggle to outrun each other.

But before that, it was a father and son who were related by blood. What father would want his son to accomplish?

“What's the matter, Father?! ”

“Lord!”

Later, Arthur and his family's knights flocked to the training ground. I was surprised by the tremendous collision that left the entire villa in ruins.

On their knees, they see Rick weeping and Basque glaring down at him. And I could see what had happened not to be difficult.

“Rick! You did it! ”

Arthur was the first to be pleased, and I suddenly raised my hands.

“Oh!”

“Confucius Rick! ”

“Another person's error master was born! ”

The knights were also overjoyed and envious at the same time.

In their cheer, Basque places his hands on Rick's shoulders without concealing his gratitude.

“Boy, you've finally found the right eye level. Yeah, any son should respect his father like this. ”

That's enough to make Rick's respect disappear like a tide.

Rick looks furious. With all his dignity, why does he inspire such gentle pride?

Rick snores.

“It must have been hard for you to be jealous of my genius, but I can't thank you enough for helping me. ”

This time, Basque's eyebrows twitched. The heart of joy disappeared like a lie.

“This guy's doing great, but he's ruining the ending! ”

“Who's picking on you first?! ”

“You insolent bastard! ”

“You've fulfilled the truth of the bluefin fish, and now you want to acknowledge my genius? ”

“Genius? Then I'm a genius father! ”

“It's been a while since you've said that. ”

“No need to talk! Draw your sword!”

“Do you know who's scared? ”

Both of them drew their swords.

“What, what? Suddenly, they're fighting.”

“Are you trying to compete? ”

“No, you're arguing. ”

“What's wrong with you two? ”

In the blink of an eye, the two of them returned to fight like usual. Arthur and the knights who were watching this also stopped cheering and began to be embarrassed.

Anyway, Basque made his intention.

He was the perfect person to send to the 3rd Legion on his behalf.

The next day.

“If you know His Majesty, please respect his honor. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“Be sure to be polite. ”

“Oh, I get it. ”

“I will!"

“Oh, my God! Am I a child?”

Arthur pins on the irritating Rick.

“Don't I worry about your usual behavior? I heard that Caroc is called" The Mad Spirit "in the Kingdom. What would the status of the Kunt family be like if you even let go of your mind? ”

“Ouch! Okay, okay. I also know how to imitate a solemn and upright knight because I learned something from him. Just trust me, sir! ”

“So it's not an imitation, but a sincere heart.... ”

“Yay, should I hire about 300 disciples now?! ”

Rick doesn't listen to Arthur. He whistles on the horse.

“You bastard!”

“Here I go! ”

Rick sprints to the horse and starts running north.

Arthur shakes his head and smiles as he sees his brother leaving.
