Chapter 289 Secret Copying (1/2)

Heintz Lash introduced himself as the second son of the baron Lash.

His hair was brownish-yellow and his eyes were aqua. He was pretty sturdy.

“He is very promising even among the young knights.”

The princess complimented him. Hearing that, Lash seemed a bit embarrassed.

“S-so, princess, what would you like me to do?”

“Hmm, listen to Jin over here.”

Heintz turned to face Jin.

“Heintz-dono, I would like it if you give some of your time in measuring the strength of these newly made golems.”

Jin explained. But even after receiving the explanation, Heintz looked like he didn’t quite understand what Jin meant.

“By the way, as a knight, you fight with a spear or a sword, right?”

“Hmm? Yes.”

And without a moment’s delay, Jin used magic.

“‘Transfer Info-Mild lv4.'”

It was his first time trying the mild option.

There aren’t many people who would be happy if their memories and knowledge were copied so he used ‘Transfer Info’ silently so they don’t notice. He wouldn’t be able to properly explain himself either, after all.

He copied it to the last piece of magi crystal he brought from the Hourai island.

“‘Decompile’…. Hmm, seems to be fine.”

Jin confirmed that his magic had successfully worked.

“Jin-dono, so what do I need to do, exactly?”

Heintz asked once again. Looks like he didn’t notice what had happened at all. It was a big success then.

Jin told Heintz,

“Please wait a little. I will be activating this golem now so could you maybe do a simple sham battle with it?”

Heintz had also heard that Jin was working on a request directly from the king so he gladly accepted.

“I see, so that’s how it is. I understand. I am looking forward to fighting it.”

Jin copied the necessary information from the magi crystal on his hand to the golem’s control core.

“Alright, ‘activate'”

He poured in some mana and activated the mana driver. The mana tank was filled up beforehand.

In accordance with Jin’s words, one of the golem rose up.

“Ooohh?!”

“Ooh!!”

“It moved!”

The three who were watching, princess, Gloria and Heintz, all expressed excitement in their voice. Elsa and Hanna were pretty accustomed to the sight so they didn’t really react much.

“How does your body feel?”

“Yes, Creator-sama, there are no abnormalities.”

“Alright.”

Jin quickly made two sham swords from the remaining 2 ingots of iron and handed one each to Heintz and the golem.

“Then, please go ahead. It’s completely fine to go lightly. I would feel really bad if you were to get injured because of this.”

“I understand.”

All of them moved to the backyard.

Seeing such a rare sight, free attendants, soldiers and knights gathered to watch what was going to happen from afar.

Heintz took off the sword he had on his waist.

“I shall hold that for you.”

Gloria approached him, gave a slight bow and received the sword.

After swinging the sham sword a few times to get the feel, Heintz glanced at Jin.

Perceiving that glance as a sign to start, Jin announced the start.

“Well then, please start.”

“Let’s go!”

Heintz gave a nod and slashed the golem diagonally from the shoulder.

The golem lightly parried the slash, took one step forward and slashed sideways. Heintz dodged that with quick and nimble movements. Seeing that, the golem took a further two steps in.

But Heintz moved towards the side and not towards the back, and slashed over the golem’s shoulder.

“Ohh, I don’t know what’s going on but it’s amazing!”

Said the princess, who was watching from a distance.

Heintz was like the top in terms of skill among the young knights.

Jin was also delighted, seeing that he would get some good data from this. After all, all of Heintz martial arts were now being copied to the magi crystal in Jin’s pocket now.

“Do your best, you two!”
