I can see emperor stats-Chapter 14

multitasking

[His Highness Julius! Are you doing well with your studies? Since your highness is so clever, it may needless to say that he is senile, but I am always worried because there are so many people like Seungnyang in the imperial palace. The construction of Noh Shin is well underway. In the near future... … . (syncopation)

As always, I send you my heartfelt condolences. Please accept it. I always pray for Your Highness' health.]

-Mareus-

[P.S. I've said it before, but you probably won't just wield a sword all day, right? Neglecting the learning necessary for a king is... … . (syncopation)]

'I'm sorry. In fact, it's only swinging the sword all day!'

After secretly apologizing to him, Julius turns the letter around to see the real 'gift' he sent, and finally finds the direction he wants.

Then he turned the letter over and began to read it with the code he and Maraeus were using.

[Upper contact is going well. But lately, the owner of the blue dragon company has been obsessively wanting to see the chief officer of this side. If you knew His Highness' identity, you would dare to say that... … . (syncopation)]

Julius shook his head.

'No, if it were this person, I would have tried to see myself, even if I wasn't the prince, but the emperor.'

The person mentioned in the letter believes in nothing unless he has seen it with his own eyes.

'For a smooth relationship, I'll have to go to the north sometime later.'

However, that was after he achieved everything he needed to achieve within the imperial palace.

'It's going to be a day full of tension for the first time in a while.'

Today was the day he decided to receive swordsmanship training from Choin for the first time.

Julius accompanies Sir Haines and heads for the imperial courtroom.

“The captain wouldn’t be very angry, right?”

“Haha, Kyungsoo is surprisingly worried! Could he at least beat me up?”

The superman the emperor asked for his guidance was the Marquis of Carlos, the leader of the royal knights.

The empire had as many as four superhumans, but currently two were out as marquis defending the border, and one was the second prince's maternal uncle, Archduke Wilhelm.

Therefore, there was only one superintendent in the imperial palace who would guide him.

Marquis Carlos, leader of the Imperial Guard Knights!

He was a knight belonging to the young axis among superhumans who entered the 4th stage at a relatively young age of 40.

Also noteworthy is his clique.

The imperial faction thought of him as their own person, and the grand duke faction also subtly thought of him as their own, even if they did not express it.

First of all, the reason for the emperor's faction is that he is the leader of the royal knights who only listens to the emperor's orders. For those who prioritize legitimacy, of course they think he is the imperial faction.

However, there was a problem with another status of the Marquis of Carlos.

When Julius thought about that, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

'The Archduke hit the ball the fastest.'

The Marquis of Kalos has risen from a local lower aristocracy to the current position purely on his own talent! However, it was Archduke Wilhelm who recognized that talent early on.

The Marquis Kalos was the leader of the Royal Knights and at the same time the son-in-law of the Archduke, who married Archduke Wilhelm's daughter in a similar case to the current emperor's second empress.

Thanks to this, he may have been a trick of the Grand Duke, but in his previous life, he could not move the Guard Knights, who kept neutral even in the status of emperor when it was most important.

“Your Highness, are you here?”

The Marquis of Carlos bowed politely. In fact, unlike Lord Haines' worries, he didn't feel too bad.

The emperor's request passed through his mind.

“I know you won’t like it very much. But please guide me with sincerity, even by looking at my face.”

“If that's your Majesty's word, I'll just follow it. Don't worry too much.”

His personality was, in a word, like a wooden one.

He only obeys the orders of the emperor, and even his father-in-law, the Grand Duke, cannot instruct him. Probably, if you pick the most naive knight in the empire, it will always fit within three fingers.

Julius is also well aware of that.

'He's such a person, but he didn't help me in his previous life, right?'

It's probably because he didn't get a good evaluation in his previous life. In fact, even if the Royal Guards intervened, the forces of the aristocrats were already too dominant.

It was an empire that had been on the verge of a long-term civil war, so I don't know what would happen if even the Royal Guard were lost.

But Julius must change his mind this time. It may not be anyone else who has been touched by the Grand Duke, but Marquis Carlos is a true knight whose loyalty is certain.

'I must make this person my own at this opportunity.'

The Marquis of Kalos concludes his greetings and leads Sir Haynes and Julius to the gymnasium.

“I already know your skills well.”

The Marquis, who once glanced at Lord Haines, fixed her eyes on Julius.

“However, I would like His Highness to conduct a brief sparring with me for future education.”

As the Marquis was requested by the emperor, he intended to teach the prince to the best of his ability. On top of that, it would be a lie if he said he wasn’t slightly interested in the skill of the first prince, who was said to be talented in swordsmanship.

“Then, please take care of me.”

“You can come anytime.”

Julius faces the Marquis standing on the other side with his sword drawn.

"bout!"

Julius kicked the ground with a spirit and swung his sword at the Marquis.

"visor!"

Of course, like a warrior who has reached the highest level, the Marquis lightly bounces off his sword.

'You're much more talented than I thought, right?'

Marquis Kalos reliably blocked all the swords of Julius, who were swinging at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, without moving a single step.

'The flow of the force is stable enough to say that it's almost right before the third stage. In addition, the basics of swordsmanship are not bad for someone who was brought up with dignity. I can clearly see the traces of hard training.'

The Marquis, who had been conscientiously appraising Julius' swordsmanship, at some point began to slightly frown.

'hmm?'

The more he blocks Julius's sword, the more doubts grow on the face of the Marquis.

“I will pause for a moment.”

The Marquis stopped defending and lightly swung his sword from side to side.

“Ouch.”

With just that simple movement, Julius was thrown off at once and had to regain his posture.

'also… … .'

The Marquis stared at Julius with an expressionless face and opened his mouth.

“You are hiding your skills. Is there a reason?”

Although he is a marquis with a personality like a wooden stone, he has a faint anger in his eyes, as if he felt that he was made fun of as a military man.

The attack that just deflected Julius seemed light, but it was a blow that he showed his sincerity in his own way.

'As expected, it's impossible to hide your skills from a 4th level knight.'

This was the reason Julius had been thinking about it all this time.

Even if you don't know the master level, the 4th level knights are superhumans beyond humans! It's not hard to know that he's doing it roughly once you share the sword a few times.

“I’m sorry, Marquis Carlos. I never meant to make fun of you!”

Julius bowed deeply and apologized.

When the prince lowers his head and apologizes, the marquis also makes a slightly questionable expression. Lord Haines, who was watching from the corner of the gymnasium, approached as if he sensed something.

“Your Highness's apology is hard for me to dare to accept.”

“Is there something wrong, Captain?”

Julius swept the two of them once and made a solemn expression.

“Marquis of Kalos! Sir Haynes! Can you swear that you will not tell anyone what you have seen here?”

[Teeling!]

[The attribute 'Emperor's Dignity' is activated.]

[Charisma and charm increase.]

The Marquis of Carlos suddenly felt a bit embarrassed when he suddenly felt the pressure of a grand duke or an emperor from the prince in front of him.

'Was the first prince like this?'

He had no interest in the imperial family's power struggles at all, but he knew that although the first prince was excellent in his own right, he hadn't been so diligent lately except for swordsmanship.

“As long as it does not harm the Empire and His Majesty, I swear on my knightly honor that I will not tell anyone what happened here.”

The Marquis of Kalos decided to find out the prince's intentions.

“I will also swear.”

Lord Haines, of course, was not one to say anything to his own harm.

Julius nodded.

“Then Marquis, please fight with me once more.”

"All right."

Once again, Julius and the Marquis stood facing each other in the gymnasium.

'I'll do my best this time.'

This time, Julius seriously raised his sword and aimed it at the Marquis.

“Uhhhh.”

Julius raised the force with maximum output in the circle.

The force of his sword is injected, and beyond simply shining bluish, the tangible force is condensed out of the sword.

'Step 3! That's a fairly skilled level.'

The Marquis felt astonished inside and took a serious stance himself. If the first prince was this level of a warrior, it would be difficult for him to deal with him even though he looked down on himself.

“Puuuuuong!”

When Julius and the Marquis collided, a roar erupted in the gymnasium.

A clash is not a one-time event. Soon after, the black-blue light of the sword began to pour down like it would pierce the body of the marquis.

However, the Marquis is one of the best supermen on the continent!

It can't be easily blocked like before, but it's not too difficult to deflect most of the sword beams and insert the sword between Julius' sword attacks, interrupting his offensive.

At first glance, it looks like a white middle age, but Julius suffers a considerable loss due to the skill of a seasoned marquis.

'As expected, pure swordsmanship has no choice but to be pushed.'

No matter how much he has been training steadily since his previous life, his main job is to be an emperor. The skill of swordsmanship itself, which had to be practiced continuously and repeatedly from a young age, was inevitably inferior to those of superhuman level knights.

'But now I have another advantage.'

Julius suddenly clenched his fist and collided with the Marquis' sword.

'A fist enclosing a force field? However, if he intensively protects his hand, the density of power condensed elsewhere will weaken.'

The Marquis raises his sword with a puzzled expression. His sword skillfully splits in two, one aiming at Julius' fist and the other at his shoulder.

Although the three-step applied technologies such as force field and force grip are useful on the battlefield, their utilization in one-on-one combat with unmanned vehicles is very low.

This is because the control of the force, which is inevitably focused on weapons and defense, becomes difficult because detailed control is required. Of course, for the same amount of energy, it was inevitable that it would be more efficient to concentrate on using it for one purpose.

but!

“Puong!”

The Marquis' body shook greatly for the first time. Contrary to his intention to block the force-focused fist and penetrate the weakened area, all of his attacks in two directions were deflected.

“!?!?”

And that's not all!

Switching from offense to defense, the marquis felt an invisible hand grabbing his throat.

'Force Grip!?'

After all, the Marquis is a superman. It was a sudden surprise attack, but the Marquis easily blocked it this time as well. The energy that tried to choke him was shaken at once and counterattacked.

However, while pressing the Marquis' neck with the force grip, Julius swung his sword as if there was no problem with the control at all and drove the Marquis like a storm.

This is the power of a quad core!

Ordinary knights, no matter how excellent their force control, are unable to manipulate the force in detail while strengthening their bodies and weapons at the same time.

Normally, the force circulating in a circle cannot be quickly concentrated elsewhere after strengthening the body and weapons.

However, the situation is different for Julius, who has four cores.

The first core supports the strengthening of the sword and body.

The second core is Force Grip, which hinders the movement of the Marquis.

The third core condenses force into fists and feet, not swords, for a surprise attack.

The fourth core is a force step, moving dazzlingly in the air and aiming for the blind spot of the marquis.

In this way, the four cores help organically and freely apply irregular attacks, so even the superhuman Marquis cannot help but lose consciousness momentarily.

[Teeling!]

[The skill multitasking has been created.]

This is what we call multitasking! It was one of the biggest achievements he achieved after returning.

"visor."

Because of the panic, there was finally a small gap in the Marquis' impregnable defense!
