Sword Whisperer

"…… Reading a knife? Is that possible? ''

I trembled at Nurse, but I don't know if it was natural. But Dnoa didn't care. Whether he had removed Shichimi or not, she seemed indifferent to him as if it was a story that had nothing to do with her.

It may not be possible, it may not be possible. I've heard enough stories, and I don't think I can give you a definitive answer. But if you weren't swallowed by that yogi, there must be a reason. ”

"I'm sure. ''

Dnoa looks back on Van. Her face was as charred as the farmer's daughter, but nevertheless the face was definitely the princess's. Even though her head was pushed, even though she was wearing more shabby clothes than she is now, Van still thought she would look like a princess. She had a guitar that could not be captured by the appearance alone.

"So this might be meaningless advice. But if you're one of the owners, the kingdom will never stand in your way. ”

".. that's a scary story."

"Yes, but I don't want that to happen. This advice will be meaningless, and it should be meaningless."

Van smiled speechlessly.

It was a story he already knew from a long time ago.

Story of a family guarding the Karlsmori Library in the North.

The stories of the librarians who used to write, listening to the voices of all things.

What did people call them?

Oh, yeah. They are…….

§

The mission of escorting D'Noa, precisely to become her marble friend, ended in a week.

I don't know if it was a mission that was left, but it was still owed to the princess. I didn't know that I could afford royalty favors.

Nevertheless, Dnoa gave him a gift one by one.

"A royal token. Wherever you go, the nobles of this country will bow down to you. ”

Others from the Nine Great Gates may have been, but it was a pretty meaningful gift for Van. Before leaving, Dnoa left Van with a word of advice.

”Be strong, Van."

"It's my first goodbye I've heard. ''

"Not that you're not strong right now. But no matter what you want to protect, one day you'll be considered powerless. In order not to regret it at that time, we took the path of being strong. Others don't know, but you do."

Even though the blessing she has is the Word, not the Prophecy, her voice is more confident than these children and speaks of the future.

All right. Maybe that's why. Even after breaking up with Dnoa, Van had a hard time shaking off the weeks she had left.

Be strong.

I want to be strong.

'Could I have called her?'

If I was strangled, I could not even say anything. But Van thought, no matter who he saw, Is he the one I can win or the one I have to lose?

From the moment he lifted his sword, his world was forced to do so. The world was divided into something that could be read and something that could not be read. And in that sense, Dnoa was quite a strange person. From a helpless point of view, she had no sense of saying she was strong..... but the power given to her was so different that it was difficult to compare it to a single knife.

Can the Spirit ring?

To cut off the spirit, he must cut off her voice. Should we cut off the world that follows that voice?

If she asks him to kneel, can he do anything but follow it?

The power of life could be calculated. Anya's white salt could also be imagined. But not as much as the Spirit.

'There's nothing I can't say.'

Van's eyes flashed brightly. In front of the ambition, loyalty to the royal family lost its light. I don't want to hold a sword that collapses in a word. A sword means a man who can cut down anything in the world.

Even after what happened in Tolsbury, they still had to do two more missions. If we report back to the maggots, we have one left.

was about, but Van asked if it should not be missed. Kishin was a sword too poor to return. Fortunately, the group did not express any obfuscation or discoloration. It was half by itself to recover the Kishin in the first place.

The mission was no longer a problem. Ever since Kishin was acquired, Van's skills have grown more pronounced than ever before. To the point of being the strongest in fourth grade, he has already had enough regrettable skills to flatter his student standards.

The mission was over in an instant. Van's black was not only stronger, it was also shaken away.

And what was left was the ninth, graduation mission.

Everyone at the Academy took note of Van and his group. I also did. They were all the strongest contenders in fourth grade. There was no such thing as fun about what knights they entered.

"Hey, half the senior, of course, the Royal Knights!"

"Do you think the royal knights fit in with Van Sunbae's character? I think I'm about to get bored."

”Hey, why don't you just hold on to that Lucas and call him Van Sunbae? There is nothing like a royal knight when it comes to knights. ''

"... Hmm, if I'm half the senior, I guess I'll just go live in the East. You can enter the Secondary Family's society. Maybe Van Sunbae isn't comfortable in the east?"

"I know it's not from the east, it's from the east and the middle. The Cho family wouldn't be so comfortable, would they? ''

"I think he's going south. As a swordsman, there's no place as interesting as the South, is there? There is no bloody day on earth. ”

All sorts of speculation spilled over. And when more than a dozen knights offered Van a graduation mission, people's curiosity grew even more explosive. Where will the genius of this Jubilee choose?

And that wasn't just about the silk juniors. Motivators and even Anya asked questions when she looked at Van.

”So, what did you decide? ''

"... do you know how many times you only ask that this week? ”

”Par, you don't answer quickly! ''

It's a "secret". Secret. "

"I'm going to go to White Flame."

”Of course. If a Nahar family man doesn't go to the White Flame, that would be weird. ”

"…… don't you intend to come to the lighthouse?"

I was told to come to the north. Van's eyebrows twitched. It's hard to say that the North has good memories, but that didn't mean it wasn't so much. In the north, he went through the most fun battles of his life. And if we go to the lighthouse..... it won't be so much every day in the future.

"I don't have one."

”Ji, really?"

"Really. ’'

"Really? Consider it. Promise? ”

"No, when did I make an appointment……"

And that was not the story of Silk Anya alone. Zeo came to Van with an iron expression of pride.

"Van! Come to the sanctuary of Eustein! The jungle and the mountains will be your home, and the swarms of bison that run with the sun will be with you every day! ”

"Yeah, I'm thinking about that, too. ''

"... Are you serious? ”

"Sincerely."

”Haha, I thought about it! Forget this crude building made of human power. In the land of Eustein, you will know what life is with nature. I don't even know how valuable animals can be friends...!"

I couldn't fall for it. She said to Van as she swung the chart.

”The Seconds already think of you as a family. You know what?"

'Er', um. Well... you know. ''

"........ I'm trembling at my reaction. ”

”No, of course I'm thinking good. So I'm thinking about living in the Temple of the Seconds."

”Ang? Really?"

”Why don't you think about it? ''

”No, if it's you..... I think I want to leave where I've already been."

"It's the right answer...... Anyway, it is. ”

"Hey, I thought about it. I like the Royal Knights, but don't you ever get pushed out of the Secondary Family's society? No, honestly, we fight better. The Royal Knights, they're all just good for the atmosphere. One punch for my dad? ''

"Okay. Okay, so just focus on the game. I'm gonna get hurt."

Even McDead.

"Van, enter the Brotherhood of the Black Mountains! A warrior like you...!"

His words are not worth recalling, so omit them.

Van took that attitude, and the rumors started to blow. There were hundreds of places Van promised to go, and even the dean was forced to call Van. He said with a serious expression.

"Van. You know I care about you. Isn't that right? ''

"…… Ah, yes. Yes.”

To be honest, I don't remember receiving something that I could really care for, but it would be social life to nod at this point. The dean nodded with a satisfied expression.

”I may be a little overly concerned about this as a dean, but I'm curious. Yes. I think it's time to choose the last mission.... What mission did you think you would receive? ''

"Well, I don't know."

"Are you also a Royal Knight? ''

Usually, the chiefs chose the Royal Knights if they were not nine or more. There was no place as clear as the Royal Knights, even if it was the second time that the real treatment was done.

Van shakes his head.

'' Honestly, it doesn't seem to matter what kind of mission you're on. ”

"…… what does that mean? ''

It is the Academy's tradition to receive graduation assignments from organizations that you will enter. Given that, it sounded strange to say that half of any mission was unimportant.

'No way..... but it's not. ’

The dean erased the thought that had come to mind at the moment. That was too absurd an inference. Soon, however, when Van opened his mouth, the dean thought it might be true.

”I don't intend to go where I was tasked. ”

"... What do you mean? ''

It would not simply mean not following tradition. Van opens his mouth slowly. He replied to Anya, to the Spirit, to Zeo, and to all the motives who told them to come where they were going.

I will go to the lighthouse, I will go to the Shrine of Eustein, and I will find the Temple of the Secondary Family. The Black Mountains of McDead... Well, I don't know. That's because I saw the situation.

If you want to find all those places, what should he be?

"Van, no way........"

”I felt like I was on a mission this time. The world is vast, and there are so many places I haven't been yet..... that I'm too young to be tied up somewhere."

"Are you saying you won't let the lord...?"

Knight without a master. In other words…….

Van smiled.

"I'm going to be a free knight. Dean."
