Chapter 9: A Presence to Protect or a Presence to Discover

The sound of a wooden sword being deflected resonated with a dull thud, the impact reverberating through the swordsman’s muscles. A cough echoed through the air as the man doubled over, clutching his stomach where the sword had struck.

Bowlan, looking down at him, wore a triumphant smile on her face. In contrast, Fei, the one being looked down upon, gazed upward. There was no trace of regret on the face; instead, eyes seemed to be staring into the abyss. However, his gaze went far beyond what was visible, … Read the rest

Chapter 8: Fei’s Hidden Talent

It had been a month since Fei, True, Arthur, and Bowlan joined the special forces. Each day, they endured grueling training, academic studies with Teacher Yuru, and magic lessons from other instructors in their pursuit of becoming formal holy knights. Additionally, Fei found himself being punished almost daily with handstands and running ten laps around the royal capital. This routine led to Fei’s handstands becoming a daily spectacle, drawing attention from onlookers.

“Hey, it’s the older brother who does handstands!”

“Why do you do it every day?”

“Teach me how to do it too!”

“Annoying… … Read the rest

The day after Fei completed his grueling training, the five of them decided to rent a room to study. Yururu took her place at the lectern while the others sat in chairs in front of her. Long desks were arranged for everyone to use. True sat on the left end, with Bowlan beside him. Arthur occupied the seat next to Bowlan, and Fei sat a little further away on the right end. Thick materials like textbooks were placed on their desks for their classroom study.

“Now then, everyone. This time, we will discuss the Daemon, considered the most dangerous entity … Read the rest

Chapter 7: Oda Nobunaga

“Um, well… I’ve completed the assessment of your magical aptitude. Since magic isn’t relevant to my training, let’s get back on track and start the swordsmanship class right away!”

Feeling sorry for the unsatisfactory result, Yuru tries to make up for it by starting the swordsmanship class while also addressing the previous assessment. However, her plan doesn’t go as expected, and Bowlan bursts into laughter.

“Hahaha! So, you have no attribute at all! What a joke! I thought you were interesting during the entrance exam, but you’re just a loser!”

“…Enough with the noise.”

“…Bowlan-san, that’s … Read the rest

Now that everyone was present, Yururu, the teacher, initiated the introductions.

“Let’s introduce ourselves! I am Yururu-Garestia, a 12th-grade holy knight who will work with you during the trial period as a teacher. I will mainly teach swordsmanship and lectures. Nice to meet you!”

She energetically introduced herself, though no one knew that she was the character who suffered the most in the “Round Table Hero Record,” a supposedly somber novel game.

After Yururu’s introduction, she turned her attention to the others.

“Well then, please introduce yourselves!”

Following her request, Arthur, True, Bowlan, and Fei briefly introduced themselves in that … Read the rest

The morning sun bathed me in its warm glow as I woke up from my slumber. After rising from my bed in the orphanage, I promptly got dressed and headed out to the yard.

Chapter 4: I am the protagonist, no matter what anyone says

Arthur displayed absurd levels of strength. It wasn’t just mere strength; it felt like an entirely different level. The wooden sword transformed into an indiscernible shape, akin to a whip. My two years of hard work amounted to nothing against this girl named Arthur.

The sword was deflected, soaring through the air like a boomerang.

What’s happening? This girl is unbelievably strong… Is she stupid? Stupidly strong. It’s really frustrating. What’s frustrating is that she hasn’t even hit me once with her sword.

She … Read the rest
