I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 15
Biggie
The moment when Julius's sword was about to split the Marquis' body in an instant!
“Quaang!”
"majesty… … . You are so amazing. Today, I feel like I have opened my eyes again.”
With the Marquis's voice mixed with admiration and a little bit of bitterness, suddenly Julius' body was hit by something and was thrown backwards.
Julius tumbled on the floor of the gymnasium with the momentum of a bounce.
'It's finally out.'
Now, the body of the Marquis is shimmering with a soft golden light instead of the blue light emitted by the normal force.
The Marquis of Kalos is finally on stage 4! He brought out a secret technique that only those who reached the level of a superman could use.
The first stage is the basic stage of accepting the Force into the body.
The second step is to strengthen your body with the Force.
The third stage is the stage where the force can be released to the outside to affect places that cannot be reached.
And finally, although he didn't know anything in detail, it is said that he has reached the fourth stage only when he can realize the force as an 'image' he thinks.
After that, Julius tried to attack the Marquis in every way he could, but the Marquis bounced him off with a gesture from the spot.
“This is the [secret] of the Marquis of Carlos that I’ve only heard about!”
Julius finally stopped the futile attack and let out words of admiration.
In the 4th stage, the power exerted according to one's personality is very different.
The force barrier, which is embodied in the golden light of the Marquis of Kalos, has a powerful ability that is incomparable to the 3rd stage force field.
It can be extended to tens or even hundreds of meters, and if you focus on a narrow area, it will be difficult to penetrate this absolute defense of the Marquis even with siege weapons such as catapults and chariots! That's why the nickname [one-man fortress] was attached!
As if reflecting his serious personality, the person who is considered one of the best among the superhumans in defense is Marquis Carlos, the head of the imperial guard knights.
Julius finally raised the white flag.
"I don't think it's any use trying any more. To be able to see the superman’s secret skill, which only has 8 people on the continent, I had a really good time today.”
“It doesn’t matter. It was a great experience for me.”
The Marquis of Kalos is a no-nonsense and pure soldier! It seemed that he was quite impressed with the multitasking that Julius showed.
Even if he hadn't used a superman's secret skill, he wouldn't have been an opponent he couldn't beat, but he would have had to prepare for a considerable struggle.
However, the admiration for each other was short-lived, and Marquis Kalos had no choice but to harden his expression after recalling the first question.
Why did the first prince keep this ability hidden for so long?
What would the prince gain by showing himself?
Lord Haines also watched Julius with his mouth open since he used multitasking, and now comes to him as if he has come to his senses.
“Your Highness, what about just now… … .”
Even in Sir Haynes' expression, a feeling of bewilderment and subtle disbelief lingers.
Is this person you see right now really the prince you've been teaching me all this time?
“I must also apologize to Sir Haines. I'm really sorry for hiding it all this time.”
“… … .”
'Of course, I can't understand this much.'
For Lord Haines, who couldn't hide his embarrassment, Julius brought out an excuse he had prepared for this occasion.
“Do the Lords know about the ‘lineage of players’ that has been passed down in the imperial family?”
"ah!?"
Only then did Sir Haines and the Marquis let out a small exclamation.
The legend about the 'player', as is usually the case with legends, was a fairly widely known story, from commoners to nobles on the continent.
It is also a fact that most people with even the slightest interest in the history of the empire know that members of the imperial family are sometimes born with special abilities as a player bloodline.
'Of course, things about [stats] and regression should be kept secret.'
Julius explained that he had excellent qualities for the Force and skills such as multitasking, all thanks to his lineage as a player.
“Sure, I understand. From generation to generation, the imperial family has produced many outstanding knights.”
The two of them had no choice but to nod as there was clear evidence right in front of them that it was Julius.
“I think you know the reason why I say this in front of two people.”
Julius looked at Lord Haines and Marquis Carlos with a desperate voice.
“Please. Please be mine!”
“I have already sworn allegiance to Your Highness.”
“… … .”
Lord Haynes responded immediately, but Marquis Carlos remained silent for a moment before opening his mouth.
“If Your Highness ascends to the position of Emperor, I will do anything for Your Highness.”
'But you can't swear allegiance to me who's not the emperor yet, is that it?'
What came out like this is, of course, a euphemism but a sure expression of refusal. However, Julius did not show a disappointed expression.
When Julius smiled, the Marquis couldn't help but stare at him with a face full of questions.
“Then, if I ascend to the throne and the Grand Duke does not support me, what will you do?”
“Of course, if Your Highness ascends to the throne, I will always stand by His Majesty's side.”
This is an immediate answer. It was an answer that represented his stubborn personality.
“But what if I am a tyrant? What if it's not a vessel worthy of serving as the owner of an empire?"
“If you are a true knight of the Empire, you do not evaluate the monarch you serve.”
This time, the answer comes with a slight lag.
Julius asks one last question.
“Then, what if countless citizens of the empire die and the entire country is in danger by serving me? Will you still serve me?”
“… … .”
The Marquis of Carlos could not answer immediately this time.
Julius smiled inwardly.
'As expected, the Marquis was a much more awake person than was known.'
Indeed, if he was a typical hard-headed knight, he would have followed himself as an emperor in his previous life without saying a word.
From these questions and answers, Julius knew for sure that at least the Marquis in his previous life was not under the control of the grand duke.
Julius intentionally let out a sigh.
"Then it can't be helped."
“I apologize.”
“No. Am I not more of a sinner for making such a request to the captain of the royal knights, who must only obey the orders of the emperor?”
To Marquis Carlos, who had a complicated expression on his face, Julius smiled again and spoke.
“Then, please take good care of me and Sir Haines’ training. You see, we both still lack a lot.”
The Marquis is a heavy-mouthed person. As long as the oath was made, the incident at the gymnasium would not reach the ears of the grand duke.
Actually, it was a gamble that I did not know what would happen, but it paid off just by confirming that the Marquis of Kalos was a knight who could be made on my side enough according to his performance in the future.
If you chose neutrality as a choice for the empire in your previous life, wouldn't it be enough to confirm that choosing yourself is the path this time around?
“I think it would be good for you to slowly decide your answer after looking at my future appearance!”
When he becomes an adult and starts his full-fledged activities and decides that he has enough qualities to become the emperor of this empire, the Marquis will follow him without hesitation.
no! He must make it so.
'And the most important goal has already been achieved.'
The most important thing there was an opportunity to openly engage in sparring with superhuman warriors at any time.
“It is impossible to break the 4th level wall with simple training. It is possible only when you go through numerous real battles and grasp the momentary realization.”
These were the words Beatrice had emphasized to him in his previous life.
“But, Empress, until recently, there was not much war on the continent, right? Then, how did superhumans reach that level?”
Even in the history of the continent, the person he asks is a rare genius who has already reached the level of a superman in his twenties.
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Looking at the curious Julius from her previous life, Beatrice quietly draws her sword.
“It's just a match like a real fight. From today, let’s start with a higher intensity than usual!”
'Is that so!?'
In his previous life, he screamed inwardly, and from that day on, he had to undergo training (?) where he was beaten with excitement.
Julius trembled again and finished reminiscing about his previous life.
'First of all, you have to step up to level 4 as soon as possible. Only then can we proceed to the second plan.'
When they reach the age of 20 and go through a coming-of-age ceremony, only then are the princes given the opportunity to engage in external activities. Before that, he had to enter the stage 4 without fail.
“Marquis Carlos, this is your last request. Please don't overlook the situation because I'm the prince.”
"of course."
The Marquis of Carlos readily answered. Anyway, if Julius's achievements were this much, it's safe to say that there is almost nothing he can give you in terms of force management.
What Julius currently lacks is the basic skills of solid swordsmanship and realization through actual combat!
The Marquis promised to guide him mainly in Dalian.
'Stat window!'

After comparing his stat window with the superhuman Marquis Kalos, Julius nodded once more.
'As expected, there is no huge difference between me and the 4th level warrior in terms of simple stat comparisons!'
As Beatrice said, it is a matter of enlightenment. Even now, except for the secret of the superman, he has developed enough ability to fight the superman in his own way.
If that kind of person gets to level 4!
How much faster will he be able to grow than other superhumans!
“Anyway, I apply for sparring once again. It was really a waste this time.”
With excitement, Julius resumed training.
