Reincarnation of the Sword Master

"A. No way."

The guide spoke firmly as if it were nonsense.

"How can Mr. Caron be tired of you? I'm sure you did."

"He, is he?"

"Of course, you won't be defeated by a girl under age."

"I heard so."

At Asher's words, Sharon twitched silently around her eyes.

Of course not. Caron fought with all his heart and couldn't hold out on Leica.

Caron is definitely strong. He had enough ability to be admired by people.

It's just that Laika's talent, the heroes' talent, is in the realm of humanity.

"…let's get down to business. How's your transfer going?”

"Oh, yes, I see. If you're the owner of Caron, you deserve it."

The guide rushed to find Leica's papers. After signing several times, I held out to Leica.

"Then you can come to the place that's written here tomorrow for a test."

"What?"

Leica was taken aback.

"Test? I didn't say that.”

"I didn't tell you it was obvious. We can't get all the transfer workers because we don't have enough people. You'll be able to enter the school as soon as you check your minimum skills."

It was a test that Ashe had done. He was highly skilled in the Imperial Examination and passed it without any major problems. Leica asked urgently.

"Well, what's the odds of getting through?”

"About 3,400 people visit here every year. If two of them pass, it's a good harvest."

“…….”

The guide grinned and held the document in Leica's hand.

"You don't have to worry. How could your disciple fail?"

"A disciple?"

"No? You have the same article as Mr. Caron, and you can't learn from anyone else.”

"Oh, yes…."

Leica replied shamelessly.

***

"Oh, my God. Test."

Back in the hotel, Reika took off her jacket. She threw herself into the bed and muttered.

"What if I take a written test or something? I'm really not confident about that."

"You don't have to worry too much. There's no way you can't get through."

"It's easy to say. It's a test that only two out of four hundred pass."

Leica raised herself with a sullen face.

"…but you were such a famous article?"

"It's a story from the past."

"Still. He was at the top of the Academy.”

All swordsmen come to the Academy. Winning so many competitions and standing at the top was the same as being the best prosecutor of the day.

"Why did you come to the same countryside as us?”

"…there was an incident.”

"What case?"

"I'm sorry."

Caron refused to answer with a wry face.

"It's hard to say because I went under Mr. Rebeck on condition that I don't ask."

"…Really?"

Asher had a rough idea of what the accident was. Listening to the story with Doppelgänger, it wasn't that difficult to estimate.

I said brainwashing.’

A heathen, or a beast. I would have been overpowered by either of them, brainwashed, and cut my colleague. It was highly likely that it became a trauma and came to a small land after cutting ties with the world.

It would have been a life-changing event if an article of such great skill had given up honor and power.

But it has nothing to do with himself. Asher opened the door. Leica asked him urgently as he was leaving.

"Where are you going?"

"I would have told you. I have my business."

"Wait. You want to go?"

Laika blocked Asher's face. Asher shook her head.

"I don't want to leave right now. I'll be back, so don't worry."

"No, that's not it. Do you have any advice for the test? But you're still a teacher! You can't just go.”

"Advice?"

Asher shrugged her shoulders.

"Why do you give me advice when it's obvious?"

"Profits..."

Leica clenched her fist. But it was true. It was so obvious that an apple fell to the ground that it didn't have to be seen. Asher pushed her away.

"I'll be back in a few days.”

"Bad guy. Fall down and knock your nose. Where are you going?"

"The Sword Door."

"Uh. There?"

Leica's eyes were filled with interest.

"I want to go, too."

"You didn't know where you were."

"I asked on the way. When I heard the explanation, I wanted to go there."

"As you please."

"Okay. What about you, Caron?"

"I'm fine."

Caron rejected Leica's offer.

"I don't want to feel ashamed again."

***

"Wow…."

Leica looked around with excited eyes. I can hear the buzz of the market. Irak's territory was quite vibrant, but it's still rural. There was no comparison with the center of the empire.

Asher was also new to the emotion. The capital city is where he has lived for decades.

It was a feeling that I missed. More than 20 years have passed, but nothing has changed much.

After a brief lapse of emotion, he moved on. I walked past the centre of the empire and to the outskirts. As we went to the streets of all kinds of guilds, colorful skyscrapers were packed. And in the middle of it, there was a shabby building.

"Here."

"...here? Really?"

"That's right."

In Asher's answer, Leica skimmed the building up and down with a haggard face.

"It looks like a junk building."

The uncontrolled outer walls were dusty and looked shabby all over and over.

"That's right."

Asher went into the building. An employee, who had been half-stretched, just nodded and turned to Asher.

"I don't think you're in the right place."

"No, it's not.

"Oh? Really?"

The employee settled down with a perplexed look. Laika looked around and hated it.

"It's a total wreck."

The inside was worse than the outside. Books were scattered randomly and I could see worms crawling from time to time.

The employee coughed out the books.

"It's been a long time since I've visited. I'm not ready. You know what we're doing here, right?”

"Yes, it's been a while, by the way.”

"Huh? No one's coming here anymore. Once a year at most? That's about it. I'm here because I'm bored with the new test."

"…is it that much?"

In the last years of his life, he didn't come much, but in his prime he waited in line. But once a year.

The staff grumbled complainingly.

"And so does he. Even though it's the door to the sword. Most people can't even open the first one, right? But who would want to come? Anyway, right? There's no entrance fee... Write your name here."

He wrote his name on the book. The date written just above was really a year ago.

I'm screwed.

Asher groaned with a sour sense.

"Then go. You're free to try, but you shouldn't try to break the door."

"Boo, break it?"

"There's someone like that. But I can't break it.”

There was a small door in the place where the employee tapped his hand.

the door through which a man can pass Asher and Leica approached there. Leica stood at the door and turned around.

"How do I open this?”

"You can just push. If you are qualified, it will open."

"All right."

Leica rolled up her sleeves and put her hand on the door. The soft hand was strained, and the door did not move.

"Uh, uh?"

Leica's face was embarrassed by the feeling of pushing a giant tree.

"Isn't this blocked?"

"No, it won't work anyway, so go back."

The employee answered calmly while eating snacks. Leica clenched her teeth and gave her strength. His face turned red and veins stood out on his wrist.

Gosh, geeking!

"Uh, uh, uh!"

The door was edged out. It was a delicate movement that was embarrassing to say that it was opened, but an employee who was eating snacks jumped up.

"Oh, my God!"

"Huh.Huh."

Leica wiped the sweat with her flaky arms.

"This is dirty heavy."

"Oh, my God! I can't believe someone really opens this!”

The staff made a fuss as if they had seen the sky and earth with their eyes. Leica patted her arm with a shrugged face.

"Really?"

"Yes! I haven't seen you in my life! Oh, my God... miss. Your name?"

"Laika Halvark.”

"Laika Halvark... All right. Your name will now be known to all the prosecutors coming here. You've achieved that feat."

"Heh."

Leica's eyes glistened. I couldn't be offended by the compliment.

"Asher, you try it.”

Leica tapped Asher on the back with a triumphant face.

"I think you could do this next time."

"A. No way."

The employee replied firmly as if it was nonsense.

"There are very few people I know who opened the first door. And all of them were sodmasters, or sodmasters. And the fifth door in history has never been touched by anyone. It's impossible."

"I'll do that."

Laika smiled proudly. Opening the door was enough to raise one's self-esteem.

Asher touched the door, which was pushed by an ant's eye. Then he pushed.

Crying.

The door opened smoothly, as if it were originally open.

"…huh?"

"Uh, uh?"

The employee tilted his head. Leica looked at the open door with her mouth open. In the meantime, Asher went inside.

"It's going to be a while, so go back."

Without hearing the answer, Asher went inside. The door closed, and a scream burst from behind. There was nothing there that opened the door. It's just a small room, and there's a door in front of it.

Asher approaches, pulls the door. Open smoothly.

a sword door

It wasn't such a great place. It was not even a place with grand rewards. There are only seven doors inside.

Nevertheless, this place was widely known. Because the only ones who can open the door are those who train the sword.

doors open according to one's own circumstances All who once called themselves prosecutors were headed here. The door opened like a rite of passage. But it disappeared in less than a decade.

There was only one reason. It's okay if there's virtually no one who can open the door. Not to mention second-rate and third-rate prosecutors cannot open the first door. Those just below the Swordmaster managed to open only the first and second.

Crying.

The door opens again. Get to the fourth door and push your hand. The inside is seen as if it had been open from the beginning.

A place where even the Swordmaster will not know if he will reach the fifth. People have cut off their interest. I couldn't even open the door except for a very few, so I couldn't want to come.

The act of trying to open the door was useless, even saying that it was something other than proving the point of the sword. Later, only young prosecutors overconfident of their own talents.

Crying.

The fifth door opens. And the sixth one.

Asher moved forward without a hitch.

As it became known, no one could open the seventh.

Crying.

The seventh door opens. You can see a wide range of places that are different from before. And there was a golden sword in the middle.

The sword rang.

What? Long time no see.]

"Long time no see."
