The best territory designer of all time - Episode 12

12fury. shabby way of thinking (1)

A few days have passed.

Meanwhile, sword training continued..

It wasn't anything grand.

Lloyd still ran and ran on the training ground..

In addition, I learned how to hold a sword, basic posture, and use my feet in my spare time..

It was a thorough training focusing on the basics..

But Lloyd never complained..

There was no protest to teach powerful techniques, nor was there a request to teach techniques that would be useful in practice..

He just devoted himself to training in silence..

The teacher, Javiel, was amazing every day..

The family members of the Baron's mansion were also surprised..

“The master only trained today.?”

“That's right. I didn't complain once. All day from morning to evening.”

“oh my god. Even though I feel exhausted every day…….”

“I know. Even when I saw it, I couldn’t believe it..”

“me too. this doesn't make sense?”

“It doesn't make sense.?”

“Hmm, maybe you have some kind of disease??”

“What do you mean by disease??”

“It's like mental illness..”

“So I think it's crazy?”

“Yes, that's right. I think it's a little crazy.”

“……That makes a lot of sense..”

A conversation like this went back and forth between the maids..

Meanwhile, the soldiers in the mansion also looked suspicious..

“Master Lloyd, why are you like that these days??”

“ok? What does that mean?.”

“No, it looks a little strange. Isn't it? I've seen that guy drinking lately.?”

“Oh, I don’t think there is one.?”

“right?”

“ok. That's what I heard. It's been at least fifteen days since I saw that person drinking.?”

“Wow creepy.”

“why?”

“This doesn't make sense to me, but an idea occurred to me that it might make sense..”

“what is that.”

“Isn’t that person, Lloyd, taking drugs without others knowing??”

“approximately?”

“Uh, about.”

“So what kind of medicine.”

“What kind of medicine. It's a drug, man.”

“What?”

“Shh. Soft voice. listen. A person who only looked for alcohol every day quit drinking overnight. Besides, you just train diligently all day? If this isn't a drug, what else can it be?.”

“what… … make sense.”

“Why doesn't it make sense? I heard there are some drugs that allow you to abnormally focus and concentrate on just one thing? If something like that happens, you're training all day..”

“…….”

“Am I right? Otherwise, does it make sense for that trashy person to train so hard??”

“Uh, um, shut up, man..”

“why?”

“behind, behind.”

“……back? … … Uh, ah, hello, ma'am.!”

The soldiers who were chatting while guarding the main gate of the mansion hurriedly lowered their heads..

Baroness Marbella Frontera, who appeared behind them, smiled elegantly..

“Thank you for your hard work today too..”

“Oh no.”

“Here, can you give me this towel after my son's training??”

“Okay, ma'am..”

“thank you. It's a lot free during work.?”

“yes?”

“A pleasant conversation is a great way to relieve boredom. However, please keep the topic within a reasonable range. After all, he’s my son..”

“……I'll keep that in mind.”

The conversation often went back and forth..

The maids said he was crazy.

The soldiers thought he had taken some medicine..

The baron and his wife looked at each other with joy and concern..

So far, Lloyd's training has gone smoothly..

Javiel's surprise also continued..

‘It's like I've become a different person.’

It was a training that lasted from morning to evening..

It was just training, but in reality it was a schedule close to hell..

Running all day, even rolling.

I slashed my sword in the same posture as I was tired of..

My palms were so worn out that they were tattered..

‘Still, I'm not complaining at all. Instead of complaining, I'm enjoying it.’

At first, I wondered if that exciting appearance would last for a few days..

But now I think differently.

Rather, I became worried about injuries..

It was because Lloyd was too motivated..

He had to watch Lloyd's training, tense at every moment. Then, with knife-like timing, he stopped Lloyd and forced him to take a break..

‘Can people change like this?.’

I'm a fool who only drinks alcohol every day.

Drunk and mischievous human trash.

But I can't find it anymore.

‘Moreover, those strange stories that are recited every night..’

Thanks to this, he was able to have a good night's sleep for the first time in a while..

Concrete and all..

What is the stress like?.

What about the bending moment?.

It definitely wasn't a magic spell.

I couldn't remember properly because I fell asleep quickly..

At first glance, it seemed like academic content..

But its power(?) was stronger than sleeping pills..

All he had to do was sit comfortably in his chair..

After hearing just a few words, I lost consciousness..

I was able to enjoy a good night’s sleep without even realizing it..

At this point, it's so surprising that it's almost mysterious..

Javiel quietly frowned..

‘What on earth does that person really look like?.’

The past when it was a car opening class.

The present is an unexpected continuation..

The gap was too big to just consider it a coincidence..

It was to the point where I wanted to believe that someone else's soul had entered that damn Lloyd's body..

‘Of course, such an absurd thing would be impossible..’

he shook his head.

I spoke to Lloyd, who was already approaching the training ground for the 30th lap..

“Just stop now, Lloyd..”

“Huh, huh, already? It's still worth running?”

“I know too.”

“But why?”

“Now, let's move on to the next level of training..”

“Next step?”

“This is mana sensitivity training..”

“Oh, oh.”

The corners of Lloyd's mouth rose..

It was because the moment I had been waiting for had arrived..

‘To be honest, I was getting bored with just basic training..’

I ran hard until I died.

I devoted myself to training without making a fuss..

Thanks to you, I gained quite a bit of stamina..

My complexion became clearer and my whole body gained vitality..

Even the feeling I had when I woke up in the morning was much more lively..

As a bonus, I was able to obtain quite a lot of RP, perhaps thanks to my sincerity..

‘I got more than I expected. Because RP has already accumulated to 97.’

In the past few days, my affinity with Haviel has increased by an additional 1..

The RP I gained that way was 18..

In addition, I was able to gain 20 RP as my affinity with Baron Frontera increased by 2, and I was able to obtain 30 RP as my favorability with the Baroness increased by 3..

Thanks to this, Lloyd was gradually getting a feel for this RP acquisition system..

‘The RP you can get from Javiel is 18 per affinity. And it looks like you can get 10 RP per point from the Baron and his wife? In other words, there is a difference in the RP provided for each character in the novel..’

I guess the higher the importance of the character in the novel, the more RP is given..

Lloyd guessed so..

‘Then, I should focus on increasing my favorability with Haviel. By the way, the Baron and his wife are a bit surprising..’

In fact, in terms of proportion in the novel, the Baron and his wife's proportion is not high..

Strictly speaking, they are just extras at the beginning of the novel..

But it provides more than half of Javiel’s RP..

I didn't know if there were more hidden roles that haven't been revealed yet..

‘Anyway, I'm finally doing mana sensitivity training..’

I felt new..

I was also looking forward to it.

‘If you want to defeat Lord Neumann, you have to start practicing mana at least from now on..’

There are only about 15 days left until the duel..

Of course, just because you start practicing Mana does not mean you can create Mana Heart within 15 days..

It takes an incredibly long time to create Mana Heart..

Those who lack qualifications have been there for more than 10 years..

For an average person, around 5 years.

The person who is called a prodigy has only been around for 2 years..

Even those who are called geniuses of the century need at least 6 months..

Manahat Yeonseong was something that took that much time to learn even under the teachings of an experienced leader..

‘However, Javiel created Manahat in just one day. Even on your own.’

Anyway, he's such a monster.

While I was thinking that, Haviel’s words rang right into my ears..

“Of course, don't expect to be able to create Mana Heart right away just because you start training for Mana Sensitivity. You have to think about going one step at a time. In any case, your physical abilities will improve little by little just by doing mana sensitivity training..”

Javiel's guidance continued..

“Then, let’s sit down here..”

“like this?”

“yes. Relax. Relax your shoulders.”

“Can I do this??”

“yes. From now on, I will inject some mana into Lloyd's body..”

“Then what should I do?”

“doesn't exist. Just close your eyes and feel the mana path I control..”

“Is this something like fortune telling?.”

“What is fortune breakfast??”

“There is such a thing. Let's get started.”

“All right.”

Lloyd closed his eyes. She relaxed. I relaxed my whole body..

Soon, Haviel’s palm touched my back..

Contrary to his elegant appearance like that of an aristocrat, he could vividly feel the calluses that covered his palms, resembling crocodile leather..

Soon, a cool, clear energy seeped into my back..

Tsussssss…….

“…….”

Is this what Mana feels like?.

It was a strange and unfamiliar sensation..

Mana passed through skin and muscles.

It entered my body like water seeping through a tissue..

went down through the intestines.

nestled below the belly button.

It was a part commonly called Danjeon..

There the chunk of mana made a U-turn..

It went into my spine like I was getting on the highway..

Step by step, it moved up the spine and stimulated the nerves..

It went down the back of my neck to the top of my head and came down to cover my face..

The mana that reached my chest finally enveloped my heart..

Exciting, Exciting!

I could vividly hear my heart beating..

Sensation of the stretched muscles contracting.

Vigorously sucked in blood and pushed it out..

A mass of mana seeped into the flow..

naturally entered the heart.

He transmitted his energy throughout his body..

I felt like my whole body became clear..

Lloyd stayed in that state for a while longer and then opened his eyes..

“How is it?”

Javiel’s voice is heard more clearly than before.

That wasn't all.

The visible appearance of the training ground.

Shapes of clouds floating in the sky.

Everything seemed clearer than before.

If my previous vision was of ordinary HD quality, now it felt like the world had been upgraded to full HD quality in an instant..

Moreover, the wind hitting my skin somehow felt more vivid than before..

One-time mana sensitivity training.

That alone made all my senses improve little by little..

Lloyd looked back..

Javiel was looking a little proud..

So Lloyd smiled too..

First time doing mana sensitivity training.

I returned the most honest impression I experienced to Javiel..

“It sucks.”

“……yes?”

“It's boring.”

“…….”

Javiel’s proud expression cracked..

But Lloyd spoke even more calmly, as if he were laying an iron plate..

“There's not much of a difference than I thought.?”

“Can't you feel the mana moving inside your body??”

“Oh, I felt that.”

“Lloyd, that is proof that you have interacted with mana. In fact, your senses must have become sharper than before..”

“Oh, this? I'm just trying to show off this much.?”

“Lloyd.”

Haviel's eyes turned harsh in this direction..

There was a bit of chill in his voice too..

“You can't say it's barely this level. That's the way it is.”

“What is mana response training??”

“Yes, it is. Lloyd is making a huge mistake right now..”

“It's an illusion. What kind of illusion is this??”

“For example, it may be too much expectation..”

“Surely towards myself?”

“That's right.”

Javiel's answer became a little bit bitter..

“Doing mana sensitivity training right away will never make you noticeably stronger or a superhuman. Quite the opposite. In order to develop Mana Heart, the most important thing is to take the steps step by step. Just like you can't get full after the first drink. Lloyd, if you have common sense, you would know this well..”

“huh. Of course you know.”

“But why are you making a fuss?.”

“group? I?”

“That's right. Are you feeling nervous as the showdown with Lord Neumann approaches? But the duel was unreasonable from the beginning. Lord Neumann is by no means weak. He is a knight who has stepped on the threshold of becoming a sword expert..”

“I know. Sword expert low level. He's not someone I can easily overcome. It's just that I learned the ordinary and common Mana exercises in about 15 days..”

“……yes?”

Javiel, who had always reacted coldly, paused for the first time..

Lloyd looked at Javiel with meaningful eyes..

“Do you think I'm being rude and throwing a tantrum right now??”

“Of course…….”

“I want to keep acting like a fool?”

“I don't know what you're talking about.”

“hey. Javiel Asrahan. Did I point you out and ask you to teach me swordsmanship for no reason? Or did you think I was a fool who would challenge Lord Neumann, thinking he would win, after only learning ordinary exercises for about 15 days??”

“Of course…….”

“Let's be a little honest. You, other than this ordinary practice method, there is a practice method that I secretly prepared for you.?”

“…….”

I knew it.

I always feel this, but Haviel is really not good at lying..

‘Because it’s so obvious.’

I couldn't hide my laughter at that thought..

So I just chuckled.

“Should I say it out loud? A sad way of thinking. Please teach me that. Even if this happens, I will continue to turn away.?”

“…….”

Javiel's eyes widened..

shabby way of thinking.

It was an unrivaled practice method created by Javiel in the novel Iron-Blooded Knight, which made him the first grand master in history..
