51 – Morning Star (3)

The sparring between the knights continued even after Noel left. Since she was only intervening in her normal daily routine, nothing like sparring had happened.

Looking at the clothes of some of the members, there were many cases where the soil was stained here and there, as if the ground had rolled.

Well, it’s nothing strange to roll on the ground while sparring, but considering who they’ve been dealing with so far, it’s really surprising.

I turned and looked at Noel. The clothes she was wearing were more like a knight’s uniform, not the clothes usually worn by young ladies from aristocratic families. It’s also very pure white.

The decorations were not as sweet as possible, but were decorated to the extent that the person wearing the clothes could be recognized. Just by looking at this outfit, you can get a little idea of what her personality is like.

Certainly, an ordinary person would not have been involved in sparring with knights and sparring with members like this.

Even though the people who mixed swords with her were said to be the least experienced within the Knights, they were nonetheless raised by Krause. That fact alone proves their skill.

But no matter how unique they were as members of the royal family, to make the knights of Krauss unilaterally roll on the ground. After all, she is not an ordinary 16-year-old girl.

If I were to ask if there were any normal guys my age I’ve met so far, I’d say no again, but isn’t this the first time I’ve seen this with my own eyes again? Maybe that’s why it came as a bit of a shock.

Even if I transferred the memories I experienced in my previous life as it was with a special case of possession, she wasn’t like that. It must be said that he is truly a genius with excellent sword skills.

“Wow!”

A long exclamation escaped from Noel’s mouth, who was sitting next to me.

Right now we are, so me and Alphonse. And Noel was a little away from where the knights were, and was enjoying their sparring.

The seats are arranged in the order of Noel, me, and Alphonse. She was sitting right next to me, so I wanted to switch seats at any moment, but I couldn’t have young Alphonse next to her, and I couldn’t move and change seats since she was already seated.

At the gymnasium, the sparring between the general members ended, and after that, the sparring between the leaders of each group began. Certainly, from the leader level, they could not be called ordinary knights, so the momentum between them was very sharp, even in sparring, as if they could truly cut their throats.

Seeing their appearance made her want to get in between them again. But for a while, he glanced sideways at me and stopped leaving.

If you’re going to go, just go…

I didn’t know why she was looking at me, as she had been sparring with the knights in front of Alphonse just a while ago, but I knew one thing for sure.

“Alphonse, I’m sorry. Let’s postpone our appointment until later.”

“Yeah…”

That he could not keep his promise to Alphonse right now.

Since it was a family swordsmanship, it was impossible to show it to others, and it was unreasonable to dare to go to the gymnasium in the main castle, leaving the princess of the empire alone.

More than anything else, Noel, she looked over the battle between the knights once and then turned her head back to me, repeating. If you are going to see Dalian, you only focus on Dalian. Why do you keep looking at me?

However, when he looked at me, his eyes were so intense that I felt as if I was hearing a strange sound effect rather than a cartoon.

I feel like I have something I want to say, but it feels like I’m being forced to keep my mouth shut. In fact, she said little other than admiring the knights’ sparring. But people have a way of noticing, so even if she didn’t open her mouth to speak, I felt like she was talking to me.

bang!

The roar created by the clash of swords against each other echoed through the space.

But Noel’s eyes were still on me.

Now, he didn’t even look at the knights who were sparring, and he was just looking at me without saying anything. At this point, it’s hard to keep pretending you don’t know.

My eyes met Noel’s eyes, sparkling blue as if rays were coming out of them. It’s really an eye that makes people feel burdened every time they see it.

When the sparring between the knights seemed to be coming to an end, I asked her cautiously.

“Your Highness. Do you like swords?”

“Yes!”

“You see.”

Noel confidently answers my question as if he had waited. I nodded there and answered briefly. When I ended the conversation there, she tilted her head, not sure if it was because it was different from what she had thought.

I got up from my seat and walked towards the place where the knights were sparring alone. The victory or defeat of the two knights, who had just been clashing swords, had already been decided. I grabbed one of them as they returned to their seats and gave him a hand.

“Sir Carmen.”

“Ah, Lord Soga. But this hand…?”

“Let me borrow a sword.”

“Yes? Uh…here he is.”

Without hesitation, Carmen handed me the sword she was holding just before. Sword for training. Although the blade was not standing, it was made with the same weight as the actual sword, so I felt the heavy hand taste unique to the weapon.

I already sparred with the knights of Edelweiss before coming here. So I thought I wouldn’t have anything to do today except to teach Alphonse the sword, but in the end I picked up the sword again like this.

When I raised my sword, Noel quickly ran towards this place. Her face was full of anticipation more than ever. But my words to her were not to stand with swords, but to return to their seats.

“Your Highness, would you please go back to your seat for a while?”

“Yes?”

She looked at me with an expression of incomprehension. I smiled lightly and continued.

“Because I also need to relax.”

At that, Noel smiled brightly and went back to his seat.

I wondered if it was that good to even sing a hum song, but unfortunately I had no desire to mix swords with her now, if not later. My body, as I said earlier, was on the way back from sparring in Merohim, so it runs smoothly as if the joints were oiled.

There was only one thing I could clearly see from her gaze.

How strong is Damian Krause, the man in front of you?

She must have been curious about Krause’s sword, but what struck her the most was not Krause’s sword skills, but my strength as a swordsman of the same age as her.

As you can see, Noel Estelia is a genius.

The existence of a knight is a superman, a person who stands in a place that ordinary people cannot approach. Of course, Noel is not the culprit. She was the princess of an empire and inherited the lineage of a god, so of course she falls under the category of a superhuman.

However, winning a knight is a different matter. A knight is a being who has honed his martial arts for a long time and entered the realm of superhumans. Therefore, their greatest weapon is not the strong body they acquired as superhumans, but the skills they have honed over the years.

Divine power and aura. If he can’t use those two, the only thing left for Noel is his skills. In terms of simply physical specs, the specs of knights who have already completed bodies are superior to 16-year-old Noel.

Nonetheless, Noel was victorious in Dalian.

No matter how much the opponent was the princess, even if they had a hand-to-hand match, they wouldn’t have lost if their skills were superior to her.

A person who can nullify the efforts of those who trained for years before. That’s why Noel is a genius.

If you are originally a warrior, regardless of your age, you inevitably wonder what position you are standing in now. This has nothing to do with the original personality and personality. Because this is natural.

So Noel was also curious.

What position does Arthur Krause’s son stand in? How different is it from you?

It will be a little different in the future, but so far, if you are asked to pick the best genius in swords, people will pick Arthur Krause out of the five sword masters. Because he was the youngest of them all to become a sword master.

It’s a sin to be born as the son of a proud father.

I don’t know if I’m a genius either, but I’ve been hearing that I’m overflowing with talent, so now that I’m possessed, it’s possible to imitate others so that I can look like a genius.

So the way I do not sparring with Noel is simpler than I thought. I just need to clearly show that I am above her. The reason she’s paying too much attention to me right now is because she’s curious about how good my skills are.

You don’t have to do anything to deliberately lower your skills. Considering the future, it’s good that she has a slight crush on Krauss. She just needs to show the difference in level enough to make her withdraw.

Actually, that didn’t make her sure that she was going to step down.

Even if I read her in a book. It was not a lead or supporting role that appeared in the latter half like Elena or Richard, but only a main character who appeared and left at the beginning. And even that is only a fragmentary part of her, so I just move on, guessing that it will be like this.

For now, I’m thinking no. If that were the case, Noel wouldn’t be watching the Knights here, he would be receiving one-on-one tutoring from his father.

“Sir Gwen.”

“Yes. Lord Soga.”

At my call, a knight who had been silently watching the sparring among the surrounding members walked out. Unlike the other knights, there were only four golden lines on the sleeves of the Knights Conquest he was wearing. That was proof that he was the leader of the Black Dragon Knights.

Even if I didn’t say anything, he already had a sword for sparring in his hand. Hey, how many years have we been together? It wouldn’t be strange if it became a habit now.

“You say you’re relaxing. How would you like me to do it?”

He spoke to me with a polite face and a tone that wasn’t like that. I laughed at his words, turned the sword in my hand once and fixed it, and answered.

“As always.”

“Yes.”

Sir Gwen positioned her sword at my horse and adopted the unique rider style of the Black Dragon Knights.

At that moment, the air here begins to change. As if they were determined to show that the atmosphere in which others had exchanged swords so far was child’s play, a chilly spirit of life that did not go well with the warm spring days settled down here.

A look of astonishment hangs over the face of Noel, who has been watching this place for a long time, at the atmosphere of this place that has changed drastically. But that was the only thing she did here.

Even the youngest Alphonse was looking at me and Sir Gwen with a calm face.

Seeing Noel like that made me feel a little new. After all, it’s a normal reaction. People here are all used to it, so I can’t see such a reaction at all.

Elena.

When she first saw this, she looked a bit surprised, but quickly regained her composure. It’s probably the same for both of them that they’ve never been exposed to, but maybe it’s because they’re the main characters. Adaptation was quicker on her side.

well, how is it? It seems a little more surprising than I thought, no, but rather, I think this would be more suitable for the picture I think now.

I took my sword and stance as I always do.

Did you feel a change from before? Sir Gwen’s mouth, who had always treated me silently, was slightly open despite the fact that he was jockeying.

“You’ve grown up.”

I nodded at those words.

That was it.

We used that as a signal and kicked the ground at the same time.
