70. This side(7)
The force displayed by the swordsman was so powerful that it could not possibly be felt as human. Even if a giant dragon or a mythical high-ranking giant were huddled in the middle of the hall, it seemed unlikely that they would be able to show off this much presence..
While many students were so overwhelmed by the situation that they even forgot to breathe, poor Banoin had to face the monstrous swordsman right in front of him..
“Huh, uh-”
The boy was clearly watching the sword that his opponent had just begun to swing, but in the end he could not lift a finger..
Googungung-
As if a huge stone pillar had been pulled out and struck down, the incredibly heavy sword strike broke the top of the young nobleman's head and crushed his torso.…….
Just.
“……Hi!!”
Banoin only came to his senses after a light sword strike grazed his cheek and hit his wooden sword..
Ludo smiled brightly at the boy who was dumbfounded as he looked down at his healthy body..
“very good.”
The extraordinary momentum that the swordsman had been giving off had already disappeared without a trace. The change was so dramatic that Banoin was confused for a moment as if he had been dreaming..
“You've mastered the basics well..”
“……yes?”
“You can be proud, young master. Of the students who have been assessed so far, less than half have survived the first attack..”
Only then did Banoin realize that he had not lost his wooden sword. He wet his lips with a nervous look on his face..
“thanks… … . Well, thank you.”
Banoin nodded slightly, as if shy, and Ludo aimed his wooden sword again..
“I think you still have something left to show me..”
The boy realized that the evaluation was not over and adjusted his grip on the wooden sword..
Unlike before, when he boasted a fearsome presence, the current mood of the swordsman was very calm. Thanks to this, the old man was able to take the sword with a little peace of mind..
Ludo smiled as if he was satisfied with the boy's appearance. Then he took a step forward and lightly swung his wooden sword..
“……What was that just now??”
With the back of his neck stiffened, Geudun muttered to himself in a daze..
Of course, none of the Southern students around me could answer that question. I just looked at Ludo and Banoin exchanging swords with faces fascinated by something..
The tall swordsman and the short noble boy were clearly unbalanced opponents. However, the sparring between the two proceeded quite fiercely, at least on the outside..
Ludo resumed his attack with a simple trick, and Banoin had difficulty receiving the sword attack. The boy staggered back and continued to block fierce attacks..
Not only the students who were watching but even Banoin himself seemed a little surprised by the calm response..
Although he was the heir to a great family, he was often looked down upon by students, including those from the Southern faction, due to his small size and timid personality. The skills displayed by such a boy were definitely unexpected..
Banoin must have gained confidence due to the success of his defense, and even took advantage of the opportunity for the opponent's attack to subside to launch a counterattack..
Of course, students with even the slightest knowledge of swordsmanship realized that this trend was what the swordsman intended. It seemed like the swordsmanship teacher from the empire was planning to test Banoin's skills to the bottom..
Meanwhile, there seemed to be nothing special about the swordsman's swordsmanship against Banoin. It was like watching the swordsmanship of an officer, non-commissioned officer, or mercenary, as there were no useless movements and the sense of moderation was felt..
Of course, that didn't mean it was bad, but it was true that it was inferior compared to the terrifying momentum shown earlier. Looking again, the vaguely displayed physical abilities seemed to be not that great..
“Umm…….”
Gdun let out a groan and began to study Ludo's movements with all his concentration, as if trying to uncover a secret..
However, his concentration could not last even 30 seconds. At the same time that Banoin lost his wooden sword and the sparring ended, a group of people rushed into the Lion's Hall..
“Glory and victory to the royal family! The arrival of His Royal Highness Princess Eadina and Prince Aglaz.!”
Following the command of the guard knight who appeared at the front, Eadina and Aglas were at the forefront of the dozens of students entering the indoor training center. Following in the footsteps of the beautiful siblings were the steering committee and the students, also known as the ‘Geunwangpa’..
Gudun immediately put aside his worries and started walking like he was running. Southern students, including Osbrim and Jillian, followed suit..
“May you lead to light! Meet your two noble royal princesses..”
The Southern students knelt down on one knee in front of Eadina and Aglas. The Wang Dao faction and other students scattered throughout the hall also came rushing over to show their respect. The western faction, including Gawin and Aeneas, were the last..
“hmm.”
Perhaps because he was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of noble students, Prince Aglas stiffened awkwardly. On the other hand, Princess Eadina naturally greeted the gathered students as if nothing had happened..
“Oh, that ball.”
“Her Royal Highness.”
Eadina held out the back of her hand in a graceful motion. Gedun tried hard to hide his trembling heart and kissed the princess's ring..
Although he was almost dizzy from the fragrant body odor that passed his nose, he succeeded in maintaining the impression of a young and gentlemanly count..
“I had no idea that your two royal highnesses would come. If I had known, I would have been more polite..”
The princess shook her head when she spoke humbly, as if she was embarrassed to wear a leather doublet..
“Don't say that. I also wear simple clothes. And, if anything, you should dedicate the credit you gave away more than usual now..”
The princess, who spoke while brushing her fresh orange hair, indeed looked much more innocent than usual. She wore a leather vest embroidered with gold thread over a rich shirt, and instead of a skirt, she wore softly polished white cloth pants..
Of course, her beauty was not obscured by those clothes. Gudun and other students could hardly take their eyes off the princess's face..
In fact, Gdun was almost dragged into the royal capital, but whenever he met Eadina, his petty complaints were scattered like dust and his loyalty to the royal family boiled over. White skin without any blemishes, two nicely rosy cheeks, small, plump lips, slender neckline, and neat teeth. The princess's beauty was worthy of his loyalty..
There were many students who made a name for themselves with their fair faces, such as Erish from Lidburn, Euphria from Past, and Shay from Northshire, but none of them could compare to Eadina..
Although she had never met him in person, Yuril, who was said to be the most beautiful woman in the king's capital, was probably inferior to her..
Among the students of the Southern faction, Gdun and Osbrim were the only ones who had the honor of meeting Eadina in person. Soon the two princesses passed them and exchanged greetings with students who were leaders of other factions..
A young man approached him and whispered seriously to him, who still had his eyes fixed on the princess..
“Stop it, Gdun. Even if it's just a look, that's not proportional..”
“……baton?”
It was Baton Ulshore, the eldest grandson of a powerful lord in the East. He gestured towards the princess and added,.
“I'm saying this because I'm afraid the guards will misunderstand. I was nervous because of the sinister gaze coming from somewhere..”
Gdun glanced towards Eadina without realizing it..
Lieutenant Ohgi, who was 'in disguise' as the head of the Royal Guard, had a stiff face, unlike his usual relaxed look. There was indeed a hint of nervousness, but it didn't seem to be directed at him..
“What nonsense is this bastard talking about?.”
“That's bullshit, I'm just saying it because I'm genuinely worried about you..”
Only then did he notice Baton's mouth twitching and closed his mouth. He glanced at Baton Ulshore and his Eastern faction students and fired a low shot..
“Don't talk to me and get out. Things that should be stuck beyond the great mountain range come all the way to the royal capital and set them up..”
“Wow, that's a bit harsh. Why do you react so sensitively to something that was just a little prank??”
The south-eastern region, represented by Onwooter and Midwooter, has traditionally had an acrimonious relationship with the eastern lords..
The great families of the eastern part of the kingdom, including the Marquis Alphard of the Crescent Islands, were amassing wealth by monopolizing trade with the eastern continent beyond the sea. Naturally, they never allowed other maritime lords to interfere with their livelihood..
At one time, the Duke of Eyland, who ruled Namyang, almost became a strong competitor. However, after the legendary admiral Oleg of Zakhakar burned and plundered all the coasts of the country and was designated as the ruler of the eastern continent, the great families of the eastern part of the kingdom still maintained a monopoly..
Baton, with a serene face, shrugged his shoulders and added,.
“In fact, do I really want to deal with you? But what can I do? As you can see, the responsibility is huge..”
He patted the grapevine-shaped brooch on his chest as if showing off. It was an object symbolizing membership in the Royal College Steering Committee..
It was nothing more than a piece of jewelry, but as someone who had been running around trying to get it not long ago, it was just like grinding my teeth..
“……That's kind of surprising.”
Gudun, who managed to control his anger, smiled slightly..
“You can talk about responsibility just by wearing a brooch?.”
“what?”
“Ah, now that I think about it, you don’t know what a huge responsibility it is.?”
The young count sighed as if he was jealous of the baton..
“Well, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to not know for the rest of your life. Since I have a trustworthy uncle, I can settle down here. I'm a little jealous.”
“This bastard will live by licking a snake’s tail-”
Baton's face turned red and he was about to vent his anger..
“Ah, that ball!”
The person with the clear voice was Eadina, who was walking ahead. Gudun frowned at the baton and approached the princess..
“Did you find it, Her Royal Highness??”
“Yes, I have something I want to ask. I heard that you are well versed in imperial swordsmanship..”
“It is not at the level of deep knowledge. It's just that I don't get embarrassed when I'm dealing with him..”
“okay. So what did the ball look like??”
“what do you mean?”
In response to Gudun's question, what the princess pointed to with her eyes was the swordsman Rudo, standing on a low platform in the middle of the hall..
He had just finished talking with the old man and handed the boy the wooden statue that the tall servant had given him. As the old man went down the platform with a sad expression, the swordsman looked behind him with a smile and then suddenly turned his head. And by chance, he made eye contact with the princess and just nodded slightly..
“……That cruel guy.”
“You Ghelan barbarian, show your manners properly.!”
The noble students immediately raised their voices, but Eadina held up her hand as if to calm them down..
“are you okay. It's being evaluated. I don't want to waste your time by forcing an example, so everyone calm down..”
“However, Your Majesty, if you are a subject of the kingdom, you should,”
“He is a guest teacher, not a subject of the kingdom..”
The students gathered around looked a little puzzled at the sight of her actively defending a mere Gelan teacher..
“Some people may be dissatisfied with the fact that someone who is not a subject of the kingdom has been hired as a teacher.…….”
Eadina noticed this and smiled sheepishly..
“Please understand. He is a teacher recommended by Count Jovian, who is about the same age as my great-uncle, and personally invited by Brother Adumir..”
The noble students quickly erased the doubts on their faces. Who would dare express dissatisfaction when the King's eldest daughter calls on royal relatives and the Crown Prince to keep their mouths shut?.
Eadina said, 'How are you, thank you?' She sent a look to Ludo, but the swordsman just looked at her with a calm face..
The princess smiled faintly and asked Gudun again..
“What is the answer??”
“……yes?”
“That arrogant swordsman. Are you of the right skill to be a swordsman instructor at the Royal College??”
“Ah, well. I haven't been able to observe it closely since I just arrived... … . At first glance it didn't seem that bad..”
“I heard that he was an expert in several schools of swordsmanship in the empire..”
“I couldn't confirm that. Perhaps because the level of the student he was dealing with was so low, he only used uncharacteristic sword techniques..”
While he was choosing his words, a small commotion broke out among the Western students..
“bear? It's a bear?”
“Wow, that's great. Of course I thought it was a chicken..”
Surrounded by Western students was an old man with a flushed face and a shy smile. A dwarf noble boy was holding a wooden statue in the shape of a bear..
The princess, who was looking in that direction, asked the question again..
“What is that?”
“Uh, it's a certificate given to students who pass the level assessment.…….”
As he trailed off, Jillian, who had caught up behind him, quickly added:.
“It is said that the classes are divided by giving different animal pieces according to their skills. The students with the best skills received a horse, followed by a bear, and those who fell behind received a chicken..”
“aha. That's fun.”
The princess nodded as if she was interested and smiled at him..
“Then, of course, you would have received a horse statue.?”
“As I said before, I came here a little while ago. I was just about to compete, but if you'll excuse me, I'll give it a shot.-”
“Oh, please understand. Don't worry about me, just go..”
Eadina smiled brighter and clenched her fists cutely..
“I will support you from behind.”
“……Thank you, Your Majesty. then.”
Gdun took off his hat, left it to Jillian, and then turned around nicely..
Numerous students' attention was focused on him walking confidently toward the center. Perhaps it was because the princess's smile remained as an afterimage, or perhaps it was because of the gathering gazes, but my heart pounded..
‘Oops.’
He belatedly recalled the terrifying power that the swordsman had unleashed, but he couldn't help but mess up now. He quickly shook his head and stood on the podium with a calm expression on his face..
“Hello, wonderful master. Your name is?”
“……Gdhun Halinson of Isivan.”
He introduced himself in a low but confident tone..
“He is the lord of Betzes and the Count of Onwuter. Not the master.”
“Oh my. I was rude. Please forgive me, Your Excellency.”
The swordsman bowed his head. Unlike when he reacted calmly to the princess's friendly gaze, he was now giggling as if he couldn't hide his joyful expression..
“Are you here to listen to my lecture, ‘General and Practical Imperial Combat Techniques’? We will proceed with the level evaluation as announced in advance. The purpose was to find out whether my lecture would be suitable for His Excellency Count Gedun.-”
“no.”
Interrupting the flow of announcements, the young count put on a stern expression..
“It's you who needs to be evaluated, not me, swordsman Ludo..”
“……uh. yes?”
“You were arrogant, believing only in your meager swordsmanship, and brought shame to the noble students of our Royal College..”
“Who? It's me?”
“okay. I'll have to check for myself to see if you're worthy of it..”
Threung-
Gdun drew his sword and aimed it at Ludo. Even with the blue blade in front of him, the swordsman had a very absurd expression on his face, as if to say, ‘What are you doing, you idiot?’.
“Now, draw your sword! Don't stand there stupidly!”
“That's it, Your Excellency. The rule is that sparring is done with a wooden sword..”
The young count shouted at that foolish remark..
“I am the high lord and ordained knight who protects Onwuter. Do you think you would use a toy like that for sword fighting??”
Although Gedun was young, he was clearly a great lord who ruled a region, and the long sword he had was no ordinary item. It was a luxury item made by a swordsmith with the highest level of skill, and at the same time, it was also a magic sword containing various spells..
Is that it? The signet ring worn on his left hand, the girdle worn around his waist, and the eomsimgap worn under his doublet were all magic tools. Now, Gdun was confident that he could defeat even the guard knights wearing plate armor at the Dormena Workshop..
As if he had noticed this, Ludo made a very sour expression..
“……Well, I understand. If you really want.”
The swordsman nodded and grabbed the wooden sword under his arm..
He frowned at that sight..
“Are you going to deal with me with that? Don't be arrogant and raise your true sword.!”
“In fact, my knife was confiscated. In this glorious city, commoners and even swordsman instructors are not allowed to carry swords, right? If I had known this would happen, I would have come in disguised as a butcher..”
As the swordsman shrugged his shoulders humorously, laughter erupted from somewhere..
As the attention of the audience suddenly gathered, Aines, the 'Naga on horseback', looked at the young men standing next to her with a sleepy face that was no different from usual. As if letting go of his gaze, Gawin, the 'wilderness white', also turned his head to the side..
“……Uh, uh?”
Os, the 'young fox' who appeared with the princess and just joined them, looked embarrassed at the two people's shameless gaze..
“Sarcasm… … . Jillian, get the sword.!”
As Gdun shouted, Jillian took the sword from the student standing next to him and ran to the podium..
However, Ludo shook his head and expressed his refusal..
“No, it's okay. Even though you are a teacher in name, you cannot point a blade at a student..”
“Stop talking nonsense and pick up the knife. Because I never acknowledged you as a teacher..”
“Well, then…….”
The swordsman lowered his posture, put his left hand behind his back, and raised his wooden sword..
“Let me admit it..”
Huh.
Ye's overwhelming presence once again weighed down the lion's scepter. As there were many new students entering the school, confusion, astonishment, embarrassment, and caution were once again directed at the swordsman..
“……eww.”
Gdun gritted his teeth under the inexplicable pressure. He didn't know what kind of trick this was, but his thought was that if he kept his mind strong, he could overcome it..
‘He can't hurt me anyway. His swordsmanship and physical abilities are not that great. You can win as much as you want.’
He is a proud knight, and he competes for supremacy among his peers with his skills. To him, a sense of publicness, the princess's support, and self-suggestion all mixed together to add to his firm determination..
“Gam, hee-”
With his eyes bloodshot and red, Gdun adjusted his grip on the sharp magic sword. And I took a heavy step forward..
“……Hey.”
The swordsman couldn't hide his expression of admiration and slightly opened his mouth at that sight..
‘I'm holding on to this?’
To him, Gudun, who had finally shaken off the red knight's spirit, gave him a fierce stab..
“It's good.”
Ludo smiled brightly. It was a very innocent smile that did not match his wild man-like demeanor, including his bushy beard and dirty hair..
Taang!
The bluntly carved wooden sword tapped its surface cheerfully..
As the sword was struck away, the swordsman's momentum was taken away. As the invisible pressure disappeared like melting snow, Gudun's movements gained explosive acceleration..
“Hmm, aap-!”
A sound that resonates loudly in the spacious hall. Then, the blade split the space with the momentum to shake off the shadow..
nettle!
The letters engraved on the blade and the blue jewel embedded in the pummel flashed. Prowess was added to the blade, and vitality was added to the body..
Lee Si-ban's swordsmanship performed by a powerless superman was reminiscent of heavy rain. Ludo slowly swung his wooden sword while dealing with the fierce attack..
Ta-da-dang-
The blade coated with a spell could not even touch the hem of the opponent's clothes. There was not even a scratch left on the crude wooden sword..
The wooden sword moved gently, drawing a clever trajectory, hitting only the opponent's sword face each time. The blade never touched.
“Damn it,”
Gdun's magic sword was extremely sharp, so if caught properly, it could cut both the wooden sword and the body in two in an instant. He couldn't help but be frustrated with the current situation where he couldn't even make a single effective hit..
‘Horhiu. It's Horhiu style swordsmanship..’
After stepping back for a moment, Geudun quickly shook his head. The way the swordsman lightly and gently swings his wooden sword seemed similar to the method once demonstrated by a swordsman like Horhiu. A fast and light sword paired with a shield that stands up like a mountain.…….
“Oh, are you tired already??”
The swordsman narrowed his eyebrows as if looking at his opponent catching his breath..
“Ugh. under!”
Gdun wiped beads of sweat and laughed wildly. And then I swallowed my spirit and kicked the ground..
‘Do you use Horhiu-style swordsmanship without a shield? cheeky bastard.’
The left hand that is supposed to hold the shield is held behind its back, so that is its weak point..
After making that decision, Gdun rushed to Ludo's left side and grabbed his long sword with both hands. Then, he aimed a harsh slash at the wooden sword and the wrist holding it..
Takang!
The swordsman simply struck down two consecutive strikes with courtesy..
Just before the counterattack came, Gudun withdrew his sword. At the same time, he flew his body based on inertia and passed by Ludo. Since it was clearly a move to occupy the left rear, the swordsman quickly changed his stance, turned around, and chased after him..
For a moment, Geudun’s eyes sparkled..
‘It's over.’
As he was flinging his body, he roughly bent his back, making a 'crunch' sound as if his bones were being twisted. Then, aiming to stop the opponent, he slashed with his sword. It was an irregular yet powerful travesty..
wedge!
Ludo had just taken his steps and turned around. Even in that short moment, he was able to stabilize his posture by focusing his weight on his waist, which can be said to be the skill of a swordsman..
But paradoxically, that very reason made it impossible to respond to a surprise attack aimed at the waist. That's what he thought.
“……ah?”
Gdun didn't understand the situation for a moment..
Even if he couldn't kill the arrogant swordsman right away, he would maim him or have him carried to the cathedral with his internal organs spilling out. At least cut it with a wooden sword and embarrass it..
Hung!
But now, the flashing blade was cutting through the wind. The swordsman was flying above it.
Despite his large size, Ludo spurred one foot and jumped up to Geudun's eye level. Looking up at the swordsman spinning in the air, Gudun realized too late..
It was the martial art of Grimmons Koval, the Empire's sword master who was famous for his nickname 'The Emperor's Bird of Prey'..
Suddenly!
After a short rotation, the back kick exploded into his face, and he lost consciousness..
“…….”
How much time has passed? After waking up, Gdun lay still and thought about the situation right before he fainted..
‘……To look so ugly in front of the princess and in front of so many people. iced coffee.’
The shame running up my spine makes me grit my teeth. In my heart, I wanted to die like this..
“Uh, just now… … . That guy?”
“why?”
“I think you're awake-”
“dismissal! Are you out of your mind??”
Despite their efforts, those who were standing by noticed him twitching his eyelids and started making a fuss..
“dismissal! His Excellency the Earl!”
‘under. These bastards.’
Geudun reluctantly opened his eyes and stood up with a resolute expression..
“It's noisy. Everyone, stop making a fuss..”
As if they didn't notice, the southern students, including Osbrim and Jillian, smiled brightly and chatted despite the count's cold response..
“Sir, you were truly amazing..”
“Are you experiencing any inconvenience? I was already debating whether I should call a priest..”
“We all knew that His Excellency was outstanding, but we never expected it to be of that level.!”
“We didn't call a priest because it didn't look like he was in that serious condition..
“okay. If you make a big deal out of it, you may only end up damaging your prestige..”
He glanced at the window, listening to the students talking in one ear..
A long reddish sunset stretched toward the center of the Lion's Hall. Now that I could guess how long I had been unconscious, I felt shame once again..
However, the fact that no shadow could be found in the expressions of the students around him was a little suspicious. Isn't it a situation where Geudun, the leader of the faction, has been severely disgraced? It's not like they're laughing out loud, but why is everyone's face bright?.
“Today's evaluation is over..”
Even Jillian, who was usually so observant, was smiling heartily. Just as he was about to shout at his stern face, he took out something he had been keeping in his arms..
“And here, I have kept the certificate carefully. Congratulations, sir..”
“……what is this?”
What Jillian held out as if she were offering a piece of gold was a very crude piece of wood. At first glance, it looked like a flat bird..
Soon, Geudun's expression became grim. He remembered that the imperial swordsman gave chicken-shaped statues to the students with the lowest skills..
“This son of a bitch-”
He lost his temper and slapped Jillian's hand away..
“Uh, ugh!”
“No, Your Excellency! why are you like that!”
Jillian screamed in surprise, and all the students around her were also scared..
While Gdoon was confused by the dramatic reaction, Gillian carefully picked up the statue and spoke in a polite yet somewhat reprimanding tone..
“Of course, I understand that His Excellency the Count is not satisfied. But just the ‘hawk token’ is great enough..”
“……hawk's mark?”
“Yes, sir. It is a token of a falcon that did not receive Prince Aglas or Baton Ulshore, let alone Ariaga's Osu..”
Only then did Gdun realize that the piece containing Jillian was in the shape of a falcon, not a chicken..
The noble girl, Erishi, who had been silent at his confused expression, opened her mouth..
“ah. The Count was the first to receive a falcon badge. Of course you don't know.”
“uh?”
“Come to think of it.”
After belatedly realizing the gap in information between them, the southern students looked embarrassed. On their behalf, Osbrim gave an explanation to Gedun..
“It's really amazing. There are more than 150 noble students who have been evaluated by Ludo, but only five have received the badge of hawk..”
“……There are five people?”
“Garwin of Axodbrook, Pasitea of Helmworth, Girion of Caspalo, Euphria of Drisir, and you..”
To Gdun, who accepted the statue with a nervous expression, Osbrim added something as if he was proud of it..
“None of the eastern guys got it. After all, they are just mouthy children..”
Only then did he succeed in roughly understanding the situation. The point is that he wasn't just an asshole when he behaved obscenely against a swordsman and got hit with a kick..
Gdun, who was secretly sighing in relief, suddenly remembered something and raised his head..
“wait for a sec. Arthur, what about that guy? I heard you are training to become a swordsman.?”
“Ah, that bastard… … . He said he was the grandson of 'Frost Ball', but he was different..”
Osbrim smiled bitterly..
“That bastard got the 'mark of the lion'.”
“……mark of the lion?”
“uh. You won't be disappointed. Because I only got one from him.”
“No, wait. That's not it.”
He shook his head with a puzzled face..
“What you're saying is that Arthur said the 'Sword of the Blizzard' lost to that Gellan guy.?”
It was a question full of disbelief and astonishment..
However, the students' reaction was very heartbreaking..
“of course. I'm no match for you?”
“Hey, it wasn't that bad. You lasted almost 10 minutes..”
“That's right, Ludo, he took the time to really see his skills..”
“Oh, I see.?”
While those seemingly absurd words were being exchanged, a crazy person started saying bullshit..
“Hey, you idiots. On the contrary, your Excellency fought better..”
“The Count?”
“okay. Don't you all understand? Of all the people evaluated today, the only one who fainted was Your Excellency..”
“uh?”
“Come to think of it.”
As the students' eyes widened, the guy who said bullshit became energized and continued talking..
“It was difficult for even that fearsome swordsman to calmly subdue our Excellency..”
“……So, go?”
“Then why did I receive the mark of a falcon and not a lion??”
“uh? Well, I don't know either. It may have been barely enough to receive the messenger's mark.…….”
As he trailed off, Osbrim, who was shoulder to shoulder with Geudun, spoke proudly..
“Ludo, that bastard is also a famously petty imperial bastard after all, right? Maybe I was dissatisfied with the spirit that he showed. I guess they didn't want to give up the lion's token all of a sudden..”
“Oh, maybe.”
“indeed.”
The eyes of the Southern students were filled with envy and respect for their leader. Although he had a dumb expression on his face, his followers' enthusiasm showed no signs of cooling down..
