Asher climbed the hillside near the territory. He took a deep breath while taking a deep breath. This is the place where he always used to wield his sword. his second home town

The fluctuating mood of emotion subsides. As usual, there is a deep calm in the heart. a feeling of unwavering in nothing

"Whoow."

Raise the sword. If it was a training session, you could have done it in the training center of the land, but there was a reason why you came out. When the muscles were strengthened, the whole body became firm.

He can't use the auror, but instead he has other strange powers.

Hit the stick as usual. The muscles explode. It hits the tree in front of it, and it breaks into pieces.

Whoo-hoo!

They lose their shape because they can't stand the force applied. Like being hit by a carriage, the bottom is smashed and the tree falls down. The leaves are shaking violently to block the view. Soon it will be stuck on the floor with a thud.

Asher lowered the fallen tree. It was quite a big tree. If you use it for firewood, it'll last a few days. It was a tree that had to be shot dozens of times with an axe.

Such a tree was knocked down by a blow. Obviously, it was a force that humans couldn't produce.

"What power is this?"

Asher narrowed her eyes. In his previous life, he did not have this power. Other sodmasters only wake up for a long time, but muscles that transcend human beings are not salty and formed.

It was the power that only he had. Swipe the sword again. A tree struck by a sword bounces over the vacant lot with a harsh sound.

Coo-oong!

step on an advance The earth is dug deep and the wind blows everywhere in the aftermath. The leaves shake and make a shooting sound.

'I really don't know.’

This is the power of this type. I didn't know why it came to me. So I couldn't show it to Hiban either.

But I didn't mean to ignore it. Whatever it was, his power. Then it was natural to figure out the type and limitations.

'Once you use it, it's muscles.

Funny enough, it's a power that transcends human beings, but what is actually consumed is human muscles. The muscles creaked whenever I used my power. Even now, the whole body was screaming just by using the muscles three times.

Asher clapped her tongue and clenched her body. His body was now in training. Training beyond the limits of only two months has produced stronger muscles than moderate tests. But you can't stand it three times.

I know it's useful, but the cost of consumption was too high. Asher closed her eyes and thought. To what extent can the body of a previous life hold out?

"About ten times."

That's the limit of a body trained to the limit. In addition, the muscles were used up, so it was useless in a long-term war. It could be a blow to the spleen, but it's literally a blow to the spleen. It's a blow to the disadvantage when blocked.

Furthermore, in this world, human beings who have crossed the human limit were not uncommon. In that sense, it was not a very useful force.

But Asher laughed.

Ten times is the limit even if you train to the limit? You're wasting your muscles? What's wrong with that? Then, you can go beyond the limit and train your body. You can build up the muscles of the iron that are not damaged.

There is power to move forward. You don't have to walk in place anymore. He was content enough with that alone.

All that's left is to raise the body. Asher swung the sword again.

***

It was already evening when I returned to the land. Asher returned to the training camp. There was a high class waiting.

"Lica."

"She has gone back. She's got a longing for you.”

"Have you talked to him?"

"Yeah, it's fun.”

"I don't know why she does that."

Leica has a talent. If the sword reaches the point, we can reach the high-ban area. But I admire him and want to be like him. Asher couldn't understand.

"What's wrong with that?"

"You know. That I'm not talented.”

"There is no way that a man without talent should not be a object of admiration."

Asher paused at Hiban's words. Hiban grinned.

"The child respects his parents. Even if a parent is worse than a child. It is not limited to children and parents, but to all things in the world. It's not uncommon for a great king to get advice from a humble beggar, and sometimes a sodmaster learns from a snubber child."

“…….”

"He's been and you're being too pessimistic about himself. The gift of swordsmanship is only a gift. That doesn't make a difference."

"But."

He wanted to be a prosecutor. I wanted to walk the path of a great sword. But I had no talent. I couldn't even step into the street. I can't believe he was someone's target. Highban shook his head.

"I don't know what happened to you, but you don't have to push me away. The child's respect for you doesn't change."

“…….”

Asher was silent. My head was complicated. Heiban said bitterly.

"Let's stop talking about this. I told you a few hours ago. I have something for you."

"Yes, but you know."

What Sodmaster gives him doesn't mean much. Heibans have talent, but Asher doesn't. Hiban waved his hand.

"Don't worry. I know everything because of him. I said this and that, but you don't have any talent for swordsmanship. That's for sure. All you can learn is the Imperial sword."

The swordsmanship that exists in this world is that of the heroes of the past. Every prosecutor learns it and wants to be like them.

But Asher did not. He had no talent. Therefore, I could only train swordsmanship made by ordinary human beings. Heiban grinned.

"Aiya, you can't just use swordsmanship, can you?"

"Creature, catching, this and that."

The Imperial Examination is to lay the groundwork. There was no such thing as a mausoleum, so the name of the sword was given, but it could be applied to the entire soldier's organs instead. Asher has dealt with spears, axes, and daggers quite well.

"Of course. That's your good point. Other people who have learned swordsmanship or singing skills can only use one. It's weird to think about it. It's the same Sgt. Shouldn't you be able to use the spear as well if you use the sword well? But if you try to teach, you can't use it. Hmm. So do I."

"So what do you want to say?"

"Well, it's simple. If you can use multiple weapons, you should."

Hiban threw something. Asher received and confirmed it, it was a black wrist guard. The material was made of metal.

"Wrist Guard?"

"Try it on."

I was wondering, but I didn't care about it and kicked it on my arms. It didn't affect my movement much if I took out something a little heavy.

"So, you gave it to me to train with this? I think that's going to require more weight."

"No, it's more fun. Put your arms together and imagine a weapon."

"What is this?"

Asher closed her eyes and tightened her arms.

A weapon. Then a dagger.

At that moment, a dagger popped out of the wrist guard.

Clap!

Asher hastily grabbed the dagger by breaking his wrist and falling. I lowered my dagger blankly. Hiban giggled.

"Fortunately, you got something stored inside. I didn't think of anything strange."

"…what is this?"

"What do you think? Don't you think it'll be fun? We made it for him. "But he died before he was made."

Asher quietly examined the dagger in his hand. The edge was sharply divided and the decorations with smooth inscriptions announced that they were high-end.

"Magic, is it?"

"Yeah, space magic."

Hiban replied with a smile. He raised his chin.

"You can imagine putting it in if you want to. Then we'll be right in."

At his words, Asher closed her eyes and thought. At the same time, the dagger suddenly disappeared. Asher frowned.

"This is."

"It's your first time, but you're good at it. I had a lot of trouble."

"…is it a storehouse of weapons?"

"Yeah. What do you think? Sounds useful, right?”

Asher did not answer and imagined again. a black sack At the same time, the sword ran out onto the wrist guard. Asher caught a sword in the air.

"For now, almost all of the weapons will be stored by type. Oh. You can't put anything other than the Sgt. It's hard to make a space without restrictions. But that would be useful."

"…That's all right."

It wasn't all right. The thought of Asher putting the sword in disappeared. It is no exaggeration to say that the speed at which it appears is fast, and the speed at which it disappears is immediate. He groaned.

'This.'

If you use it well, you will be very efficient in the field. If you attack by changing the type of weapon, you can't be embarrassed.

To him, who supplemented his falling swordsmanship with techniques, he was no better than a deadly weapon. but

"Why did you make this big, useless thing?”

It's a story that's limited to only one Asher. It was of no value to most prosecutors.

Weapons handlers are obsessed with the form of weapons. Form is them, and everything. That's how I deal with it. Furthermore, those who have mastered one kind of weapon cannot use another. Even if various soldiers were stored, it would be a pie in the sky.

If you have to consider it, it would be meaningful to keep it, but that doesn't mean much. The fact that you carry weapons makes you avoid trouble.

In the end, Asher was the only one who could use it even though it had a great function. Hiban chuckled.

"But it'll be useful to you. Are you obsessed with the form of a weapon?"

"No way."

He has no talent. I managed to survive only by using everything available. It was only handled because the sword was the most convenient to handle, but not obsessed with the form of the weapon.

It is said to walk the path of the sword, but it was different to be exact. Black is just a weapon. He was headed for something bigger. He nodded as if he knew it would happen.

"Yes, you are different from us. That's why I made it happen. I made it for him in the first place.”

"…are you close?"

Asher was frankly embarrassed. I was close to Hiban, but I didn't give him much emotion. Not only that, but they also had ties to all heroes, too.

He has no talent. So it's not worth it for the talented. I thought that, and I acted that way. So Hiban's reaction was awkward. You had enough affection for him to make this?

"Well, I thought we were close, but… I don't think he was. I've been keeping a distance. But I liked him."

Hiban muttered with a longing face.

"He didn't complain. I accepted that I had no talent, but I didn't give up. He just walked calmly down his path. It was kind of like a piece of paper. How can you hate it?"

“…….”

Wrong. He couldn't walk calmly. I put everything down in despair. But I just couldn't let go.

That's depressing. Asher sighed lightly. As I was born again, I felt emotional ups and downs. Asher reached out her hand. Then a window appeared above his palm.

"Then let's just practice.”

"How's your wrist?"

"I'm fine for a moment. I need to get used to it."

Asher posed. Hiban grinned and raised the sword.

He kicked his foot.

***

It's been a week since then. During that time, Asher fought with Hiban every day. Thanks to this, I was properly adapted to the new tool.

But she was still awkward with Reyka. The relationship between a teacher and a student who taught and learned remained, but there was a gap between the two.

Asher couldn't understand her, neither could Leica. The relationship will not change unless someone moves.

And finally, he came to Hiban from the empire.

"The Knights of the Imperial Household meets the great Sodmaster."

The knight bows himself. Since then, more than a few dozen soldiers have recovered without a single error. At the magnificent sight, Leica opened her mouth.

"You've come at last, troublesome bastards."

"The Emperor is looking for Hyban. Please come back to the capital with us."

"Tut."

Highban frowned. First of all, he ate the rust of the Empire. There was no justification to refuse the emperor's direct order.

'Well, is it time? '

I was thinking of going to the capital once, so it wouldn't be bad. He nodded his head.

"Okay."

"Thank you, master of the great sword."

"Well, you haven't changed in 20 years. By the way, I thought the captain of the guard was coming."

"He's working on something else."

"I was wondering who his successor was. Well, if we go to the Empire, we'll see it."

Hiban moved his steps. He stood in front of Reveloc and waved his hand.

It was nice to see you after a long time. Don't die until the next time you see me.”

"Good-bye. Swordmaster."

"And child. You…."

Highbahn's eyes naturally turned to Leica. Not a glance went to Luke next to him. Luke clenched his fist at the attitude of openly ignoring him. His body trembled with shame, but Hiban didn't care.

"You'll see it someday. I don't know what path you're going to take."

Leica nodded quietly. And Haiban looked at Asher. He smiled a playful smile.

"Yeah. What about our student?"

“!!”

The knight, who was recovering from the words, hurriedly looked up. So did the soldiers in the back. Asher sighed after feeling the shock in it.

"I said I wouldn't be a disciple."

"But didn't you learn this and that? He's got material stuff. Let's make it a temporary student."

"I didn't ask you to....”

"Just accept it. There's nothing bad about it."

"Whoow."

That should be fine. It was true that I received a lot. To be exact, it was too much. Asher slowly opened her mouth.

"What do you want from me?”

The horse made Hiban flinch. My eyes sank, but for a second. He grinned and whispered in Asher's ear.

“…….”

Asher nodded gently. Highban turned round and round.

"Then that's the end of course. It's late today, so leave tomorrow. Go rest."

"Oh, well, yes, I understand."

The driver looked at Asher and was embarrassed, but soon lowered his head. They left. Asher looked at the back of Hiban as he moved away.

It's night. Asher opened her eyes. The land was quiet. It was natural for everyone to fall asleep.

He pulled himself up. I kicked my wrist brace out. Let's go to the training ground where the sword was always wielded, there was Haiban.

"Have you come?"

"I'm here because you called me. What's the matter?"

"I won't be able to see you for a long time after this. I'm just a temporary student. You two should have some time alone."

Heiban said jokingly, but Asher remained silent. Hiban's face sank slowly. He spoke heartlessly.

"I tried to kill you."

"I know."

Asher nodded. When I first saw him, I felt that he was going to kill him. It's a very dense, real flesh.

"But I didn't. The moment I saw you, I knew it was different from what I was worried about. Of course, it doesn't change that it's weird... But I'm human."

He knows that Asher is hiding something. Motion and sword. Values. Spirit. It wasn't all children's.

But he didn't ask. In addition, he gave Asher a lot of things. I even gave Asher what I had prepared for my friend. It was too much of a favor. So Asher asked. What do you want?

"What I want from you? Nothing. It's just for confirmation. Don't you think it's funny?"

Heiban laughed. It was a smile that looked somewhat hollow.

"You and he both had the gift of being a warrior. He survived with only one skill. But I can't believe I'm not talented in swordsmanship. Does that make sense?"

"The sword is meant to get out of the human race.”

There is only one imperial sword that does not. Hiban smiled again at the answer.

"Yeah, that's funny. Swordplay is for humans. But the more you learn, the more you get out of the human race! Take off the yoke of life and live for hundreds of years! It's no comedy!"

Hiban laughed loudly. A vain smile filled the training ground.

"I've been around the world for 20 years. To find contradictions and to experience a changed world. That's why I'm interested in you. Thanks to you, I got a sense of it.”

Desperate eyes turned to Asher. The feelings contained in it were enough to make even the brave tremble, but Asher calmly faced each other and opened her mouth.

"What."

"What lies I believed in were."

Crying.

I can hear the sound of animals. Something rumbles in the subdued darkness. Disgusting and disgusting things lift up the body.

Laughing.

It laughs derisively. Spread your body. Darkness expands to block your view.

"This is what I've gained from my twenty-odd years of traveling. I'm sick and tired of him trying to stop him from digging."

"Umpert."

the beast that feeds on the shadow of man the existence of hell

"Oh, I didn't think you'd know this."

"…they would have been driven out of the world by warriors."

The warrior killed the devil. At the same time, the darkness of the world was chased over there. Therefore, the era of peace has arrived. That was the truth known to the world, and the history he went through himself.

"It's a well-drawn lie."

Heiban said cheerfully.
