Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 15

It was not easy for Kaham to admit his defeat.

He took great pride in his swordsmanship.

He is the eldest son of the Ruhaman family and grew up being called a prodigy.

‘Kaham Ruhaman defeated the knight.’

When he defeated a knight with only swordsmanship, his confidence and pride grew uncontrollably.

He thought that within his age group, Selina or even Selina would not be able to beat him.

When others flattered me, I thought it was natural.

However, during my conversation with Selina, whom I met at a banquet, an uninvited guest came.

The uninvited guest even insulted him.

To himself, Kaham Ruhaman, in front of everyone.

I was angry and annoyed.

I hated seeing someone who was nothing special use the power of magic.

So I suggested a couplet.

And Raymond accepted the sparring.

I thought it went well. I even imagined how I would humiliate him.

He didn’t think that he, who had beaten a knight with swordsmanship, would lose to Raymond.

Because I didn’t know that Raymond overwhelmingly defeated the youngest knight.

The player was given away.

It’s common for a master to give priority to a subordinate.

however. But why did this happen?

My whole body ached.

My thighs, shoulders, and face were sore as if they were on fire.

But the most unbearable thing is.

‘Don’t look down on me!’

It was Raymond’s gaze looking down at himself.

Those indifferent eyes, as if they had already predicted the outcome.

Silence around.

People’s eyes full of surprise.

Clap clap clap clap.

Even Selina’s applause.

Everything that was going towards him should have come to him.

The one looking down should have been yourself, not the guy.

This cannot happen.

‘It’s clear that they did some trick.’

What happened now couldn’t have happened without someone working behind the scenes.

At the very least, the wizards would have cast a buff spell like Haste on him.

‘Coward.’

You’re allowing others to interfere in a match that should be fair.

‘How dare you.’

As I was glaring at him, I saw Count Warrug approaching.

Are you trying to comfort yourself?

Okay, who are you? He was confident that he would become great at swordsmanship in the future.

However, Count Warrug turned to the bastard instead of himself.

‘What do you think of Selina?’

Sparks flew in my eyes.

Why, why, why would you say something like that to a guy like that?

The one who suits Selina is herself.

He’s definitely not that kind of guy.

‘If only that guy didn’t exist.’

If it weren’t for that guy, I would have been there.

I could never leave it alone.

I didn’t like the guy who cowardly took what he should have.

I will take revenge.

It will make you regret all the tricks you did.

“Master, are you okay?”

As he made a promise to himself, an attendant hurriedly approached him and supported him.

My legs kept getting weaker and I stood leaning against him.

“Go to the manor right now and get the stuff on the bookshelf.”

“Master, that’s…”

The attendant’s face hardened. It was as if he had heard something he shouldn’t have heard.

“Stop talking nonsense and go get it right away.”

“…yes.”

The hesitating attendant nodded.

‘I can’t let it go on like this.’

I glared at Raymond.

A masterpiece after a masterpiece.

This will definitely be repaid.

***

On the last day of the banquet, the biggest event of the banquet is held.

The teams are divided into magic masters and swordsman masters, and only children of noble families participate in the hunt.

I can’t say that the prize for winning was that great, but it was an excellent event for young people who wanted to show off themselves.

Additionally, it was an opportunity to become familiar with the children of famous families who would lead the country in the future.

It was clear that most of the children would have been waiting for this day and would be moving to team up with them.

‘Teaming up with Beatrice would be ideal.’

Me from the Millennium family and Beatrice from the Skylar family.

It could be said to be the best combination.

but.

‘There is no way to get closer.’

That’s what trauma is.

My brother sacrificed himself to protect me, but it is not easy to approach him.

Moreover, there was a rumor that the person who protected him was not a successful person and was an incompetent idiot.

‘Of course you’ll hate me.’

If it weren’t for me, her brother wouldn’t have gotten hurt.

‘At least I think things will work out with Selina.’

I had quite a conversation with her at the banquet.

Not a bad situation. As time passed, the chances of getting her to join my side increased slightly.

‘The hunting event is divided into swordsmanship masters and magic masters.’

That was the problem.

Selina was a master swordsman, so it was difficult to hang out with her.

If I break this and try to go around with her, I will be warned by my other children.

To be honest, it doesn’t matter.

Still, there is no need to go out of your way to make things happen.

‘Is there anyone who can be a teammate like me?’

Second problem.

The other children are reluctant to go around with me.

It is comfortable to travel alone.

It is much better to go alone than to be interfered with and fight by others.

‘But the place we are going is the orcs’ habitat.’

A place where orcs roam. Although it is said that the knights went around and killed orcs the day before.

Still, one or two may appear.

‘Can I handle the orcs alone?’

No matter how much you defeated a knight with swordsmanship, you couldn’t do what you couldn’t do.

The difference between them and me was in mana.

What uses mana and what doesn’t.

I cannot use mana like the knights.

I’ve never done it exactly.

There is a clear difference between how wizards and knights handle mana.

It may be okay if there is just one, but if there are more than that, it can become difficult to handle alone.

‘Because I never learned it properly.’

What I did was simply ‘acting’.

I didn’t think that even that essential thing was possible.

‘Then what should I do?’

If there is no one to move with me, in the end I have to move alone.

‘I can’t bring the family knight along.’

I only deal with things I have hunted with my own strength.

So there is no point in bringing along the family knight.

Moreover, I didn’t think they would listen to me.

I ignored them like that, but there was no way they would help me unless they were perverts.

‘First, take the sword.’

I checked the sword I got from the knight commander again.

This time I can handle the real sword.

“You can do it well.”

I asked myself.

Handling a wooden sword and handling a real sword.

And sparring and harming life were two completely different things.

No matter how much ‘acting’ I do, is that possible?

‘Even if I can’t, I have to do it.’

If it doesn’t work out, make it happen.

This wasn’t said for nothing.

There is no need to show weakness already.

‘You have to prepare properly.’

The hunting ground was a dangerous space where you never knew what danger might come.

So I had to prepare as much as possible.

I went to the Knights Templar, got some leather armor, and put it on.

It was armed only to the point where it covered only the important parts and did not impede movement at all.

As I was tying my shoelaces, I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.

‘What did that mean?’

Those words from Count Warrug still lingered in my mind.

‘What do you think of Selina?’

What did he mean by that?

Did I like it? Was that why he said that to get closer to Selina?

‘That can’t be possible.’

Even though I thought about it, it didn’t make sense.

Why would Selina be such a waste?

Selina was a born swordsman genius and well-behaved daughter.

On the other hand, I was an idiot who wouldn’t be surprised if the rumors were not good, or even the worst.

Are you trying to hook me up with Selina?

A passing dog will laugh.

‘Maybe it’s because my changed appearance is interesting.’

Because I was completely different from the original Raymond he knew.

Additionally, Millennium and Count Warrug are said to be close, so they must have met often.

If so, you must have seen Raymond often.

‘I can’t help but wonder if it’s someone else.’

Even if it were me, I would doubt it.

Well, that’s not a bad thing.

‘Did he just do it as a joke?’

I was quite troubled when I heard that.

I had to endure the stinging gaze of my children around me.

This is what Selina’s father said.

Its impact cannot be said to be small.

‘Why on earth did you say that?’

Because of this, I had to return home without being able to have a proper conversation with Selina.

‘Is there any way?’

Is there any way to go around with Selina?

Even if we go together, there won’t be a big problem…

‘It’ll work out.’

There will be a big problem in distribution after hunting.

Since she and I are on different teams, we might fight about that.

‘It’s difficult.’

He tied a sword to his waist and wrapped a robe over it.

Wearing a robe with the Millennium family emblem on it, he looked like a wizard himself.

Knock knock.

When I was looking around to see if I had missed anything.

“I came to pick you up, Master.”

I heard the voice of a man I had never heard before, not Ellis.

‘Elise said there was a lot of work to do.’

On the day of the banquet, the maids become busier than usual.

This is because you have to be responsible for everything from breakfast to their bedtime.

Even though Ellis was my maid.

‘There’s no need to make things difficult for her just to make myself comfortable.’

Just because she isn’t there doesn’t mean I can’t do anything.

“let’s go.”

The driver glanced at me and took the lead.

Unlike before, when he looked at me with disdain, he now looked at me like I was looking at a strange animal.

‘It’s better than the first time.’

It was a much better response than before.

Murmur.

The entrance to the hunting ground was noisy enough for this word to fit perfectly.

The children surrounded the ladies and were busy bragging about themselves.

And among them, there were many children gathered around Selina and Beatrice.

‘Beatrice?’

I felt a little puzzled.

Why is she here?

Didn’t he have to be busy at the magic academy right now?

What happened?

‘Was there something like this in the original?’

Beatrice has not attended the banquet since ‘that day’.

Because the ‘banquet’ itself was a trauma to her.

But there is a reason why she came to the banquet.

‘No way…’

There is.

Only once did Beatrice come to a banquet, or more specifically, to a hunt.

‘The magic tower owner of the magic tower she belongs to told her to leave at least to overcome the trauma.’

She was almost forced to go hunting.

In the original, the details were given vaguely, so I didn’t know the exact date.

Was it really today?

Oh, I avoid my eyes.

She made eye contact with me and quickly turned her head.

I knew very well that she hated me.

But he moved with a slightly bitter smile.

….

It was when we had progressed to some extent following the article.

Everything became quiet.

It was like a spectacle to see the noisy surroundings suddenly become quiet.

‘I guess it was quite a big deal yesterday.’

That’s how people reacted after defeating Kaham.

You didn’t hastily say it in front of me.

‘Not bad.’

Rather, this was better.

Rather than cursing me and whispering, it’s like now that he can’t even speak properly.

It suited them.

“Did you sleep comfortably? I’m worried that you had trouble sleeping because it was an unfamiliar place.”

I passed them by and spoke to Selina with a smile.

“Ah, Raymond Youngsik.”

She looked back at me with a tired face.

Unlike the banquet hall, she was wearing the comfortable attire worn by knights.

Wearing iron armor that only covered important parts, she looked like a picture in itself.

‘I never thought a woman in armor would look great.’

As before, she was unrealistically beautiful.

“Thanks to your consideration, I had a comfortable night.”

As she said that, she looked behind me.

And when he saw that no one was there, he frowned slightly.

“But where is the group…?”

Since we’re a group…

there’s nothing.

Is there anyone who can be my companion?

I was about to shake my head and say no when someone called me.

“Raymond Youngsik.”

When I looked back, I frowned without realizing it.

“Would you like to team up with me?”

Because only Kaham Ruha was standing.
