20 Episode 20 Present to Reesha (1/2)

On the day he handed the magic meter to Noah, he seemed to be quite excited.

To the untrained eye, he maintained his calm and collected image of a butler, and didn't show any signs of it at all, but inwardly he seemed to be very excited, and in his spare time, he took out a notepad different from the one he used for work, and alternately stared at the magic meter.

I guess that's what you call a mage.

It seems that the magic meter was a revolutionary invention, and he even said, ”It's wonderful,” or ”It will greatly improve my spell creation.

It was a sudden change in his employment, but he seems to have become a reasonably satisfactory master as a squire. From time to time, he would ask, ”Isn't there anything else interesting you can do? I wish he would stop treating people like surprise boxes, but anyway.

With Noah's arrival, my daily workload has been greatly reduced.

I've been able to clean my room, which I used to do by myself.

I have to arrange for proper meals and laundry.

He even prepares my clothes.

She's a hard worker, she's perfect at her job, and once she walks, the female servants in the house will scream in yellow.

She's superhuman. He was so perfect as a butler that even if you told me he wasn't actually human, I would have believed it.

In addition to that, he is also trained in sword fighting as part of his acquisition of physical ...... skills.

He is currently facing Noah with a wooden sword in the rented yard of Crabbe's mansion.

The kata is in the Kingdom style of fine sword fighting, which is common in the Kingdom. It is a style of fighting that uses thrusts in a similar way to Western swordsmanship in the men's world.

The body is turned sideways into a half stance, and the right hand holding the weapon is held out in front of the body. The tip of the sword is aimed at the opponent and does not move, but concentrates on the action of the opponent.

Then begins the sword fight or thrusting match.

Shoo!

Shoo!” ”......

In contrast to his own awkward movements, Noah's sword work is sharp. And the tip of the blade extends beyond the predicted reach.

It was such an absurd technique that you would believe it even if you were told that the weapon he was holding was actually a completely different one, a magical sword that could be extended and retracted at will.

He tried to pay for his pain, but even that didn't hit him.

He twisted his waist and tried to turn sideways, but was met with a response.

He tried to pull back his legs and jump out immediately after, but his movement was not good enough and he was forced to open the distance.

Here!

”Huh!

If it was just shouting, you would get a good score, but of course an eight-year-old boy is no match for him.

Soon, Noah put the tip of his wooden sword to his throat.

This is the tenth time this has happened.

This is the tenth time he's done this, and the fact that he's going easy on Noah shows just how strong he is.

...... As you can see from Noah's movements, the physical abilities of the people in this world are incredible.

If you're looking for the best of the best, you're going to have to go with the best.

If I had been that man, I might have said, ”That's what I call a fantasy world.

He sits there, his breath coming in short gasps.

He sits there, breathless, and all he says is honest praise.

Noah is so strong.

Noah is so strong.” ”He can't be behind Lord Arx. If I do, Crabbe will tell me I need to re-train.

Uncle, is he good with a sword?

Let's just say he's not just good with a sword, he's good with everything.

What?

He was a successful mage and a skilled swordsman. He's a successful mage, a skilled swordsman, and he's in charge of an army. It's all a scam. Uncle Crabbe seems to be a really strong character.

Noah reaches out his hand to pull him up.

He grabs it and stands up.

”Mr. Arx. If I may be so bold, may I ask you a question?

”Yes?　What?

”Master Arx, you seem to be forcing yourself to do the movements you are thinking about. Your thoughts are spinning out of control and your body is not keeping up.

I see. ......

I think you've been trying to do some crazy things from time to time, but I don't think that's a good idea.

Yeah. ......

In order to become stronger, it is essential to master the basic movements. The movements are not bad, so let's train steadily first.

I nodded in response to his offer to work on the basics.

Apparently, Noah's words indicate that he is not completely devoid of talent.

But--

(It's not like I was trying to do anything crazy earlier. ......)

That's what I think, but that's how it seemed to Noah.

But that's understandable. In fact, I'm trying to perform the movements of the man I remember in my head with my little body. The movements would inevitably be half-intelligible, and it would look as if he was trying to do something unusual.

(I guess I'll have to wait until I'm big enough to do it.
