Chapter 52: Operation ‘Move’ 2
‘Huhuhu, good.’
After a long meeting with the retainers, Luke smiled.
The process made it possible to keep the promise to the princess and the deal with the source of the gold and silver ingots from the mine.
‘And with just another harvest, I won’t have to listen to the retainers telling that they don’t like it when I go to the Devil King’s castle.’
Up until that moment, none of them were eager with the Young Lord going into the Devil King’s castle again and again.
But, what they had gained was so great that it didn’t even matter if Luke decided to stay there the whole day.
That too, if he had a guard with him and if he would go to his classes.
“Young Lord, won’t you learn fencing?”
Rogers blocked the entrance of the castle and asked Luke.
Before the accident, Luke had learned and practiced to wield a Silver Sword, a sword of the Rakan knights.
Even though the achievement wasn’t so great, yet he worked very hard, however, after waking up from the accident, he didn’t practice even once.
“I now use magic rather than fencing… no. I should learn swords.”
Luke had said that he wanted to learn magic as much as he could, so he cut down the practice of fencing and used that time for magic.
However, the assassination that happened the other day had occurred to his mind.
At that time, he was about to die because the dark circle had stopped.
Surely, it was because of the curse that someone had placed on the Rakan’s descendants, but they couldn’t be blamed.
‘I also need to learn some swordsmanship. Shouldn’t there be a way to deal with opponents if magic doesn’t work for fighting?’
As Luke decided to change his mind, Roger’s face went bright.
“Huhu, then move to the training camp.”
Luke followed Rogers to the knights-only training ground in the parade ground.
Everyone had gone to work, and no one was training.
“I will relax a little and see the accomplishments of the others.”
“Well, okay.”
When Luke picked up the sword from the stands, the two men took their positions to practice.
Kang! Kkkang!!
It was a sword which hasn’t been raised, but every time it hit the other sword, sparks flowed.
Although Luke was a warlock, he had fought with quite a few knights in his time as Saymon for self-defense.
And as the young Lord, the original owner of the body, who had been practicing very hard before, naturally avoided the attacks of Rogers properly and carefully.
‘Ho, he’s moving faster and stronger than before. In the past, the young Lord had attacked just blindly, however currently it seemed like he was studying his opponent and trying to read their next moves.’
Rogers seemed to be surprised.
However, unlike his own feelings, he kept pointing it out to Luke.
“In that situation, you need to attack rather than to block with the sword. Like this.”
“Slow. How will you win over the enemy with such slow moves?”
Luke was getting upset with the constant intellectual and bitter attacks.
As a result, he didn’t realize that he was infusing the sword with magic.
Wooong!
A faint purple aura began to form around the sword.
Rogers couldn’t help but look amazed.
‘This, this is.’
Luke stuck upon taking Rogers down, began to dig into Rogers’s movements.
“Hut!”
Rogers who began to get nervous barely managed to avoid the attack from Luke.
In addition, his sword was going against a small aura sword of the young Lord.
Kang! Kknag!
The swords that clashed were so much thrilling than before.
In the early stages, a tense confrontation had happened, but in the end, Luke’s sword had drifted far away.
No matter how much he had learned self-defense and practical experience, it was impossible to win and master the advanced expert of the orthodox sword family.
“That is all for today.”
“Huhu, I can fight a little more.”
At the end of the class by Rogers, Luke said his will to learn,
“It isn’t good to do that. It is important to know when to take a break and be strong.”
Soon with excitement, Rogers spoke,
“But, young Lord, when on earth have you been able to make an aura?”
“Aura?”
