Chapter 55: Here Cos the Self-Proclaid Fiancée, the Weirdo ③
Translated by AmaLynne

Sam was lying on the ground, exhausted, on a break from training in close combat with Liese.
He was gasping for air on his shoulders and repeatedly taking deep breaths in an attempt to catch his breath.
Beside him, Lise, not even breaking a sweat, was elegantly drinking tea prepared by the maid.
「Sam is getting pretty strong too. I’m surprised you really don’t have any talent with the sword, but if you had any, I would have recomnded you for an apprenticeship to the Sword Saint.」
「…Appreciate that. However, I’m a wizard, so I don’t intend to beco a swordsman.」
「Wouldn’t it be cool to be a magic swordsman?」
「―――it’s cool!」
「Fufu, Sam is a boy after all.」
If he can be a magic swordsman, he will.
A magic swordsman is a title that tickles his boyish heart to no end.
However, the first step is magic.
He would use what he had inherited from Ur, and he would use magic alone to climb the ladder.
He did not want to end up halfway through anything as a result of expanding his reach beyond what was necessary.
In any case, he has no talent as a swordsman, so he can’t beco a magic swordsman no matter how hard he tries.
「If you continue to train your fighting skills, you may not be able to beco a magic swordsman, but you can aim to beco a magic fighter. I think Sam, who specializes in body enhancent magic, would be a perfect match.」
「Magic Fighter…… sounds great.」?
As Lise said, if one can use body enhancent magic beyond a certain level, he or she can aim to beco a Mage Fighter.
Thanks to Lise, who is tapping into his close combat skills, he is now better at hand-to-hand combat than ever before.
Lise hamred the basics into Sam, who learned to fight only in actual combat.
Thanks to this, he beca sharper and more perceptive in each action.
Lise was a better teacher than Ur.
Unlike Ur, whose stance was basically「learn by experience with your body」, she taught him the important points in a straightforward manner.
Although they were very similar in that they finally reached the point of actual combat, the process of reaching that point was very careful.
「I think Sam’s overall ability will improve if he continues to train for a while longer. I don’t an to sound like a patron, but I think he is now good enough to fight against the sword saint disciples without magic.」
「I’m glad to hear that.」
He is confident that he can use magic to a certain extent.
In addition, he is gradually making the magic he inherited from Ur into his own.
If he learns lee combat and combines it with body enhancent magic, he will be able to broaden his range of combat skills.
「Sam is aiming to beco a court wizard, right?」
「Yes.」
「…Then, ideally, you should win the magic competition that’s coming up in three months.」
「A magic competition?」
「Yes, once a year, we gather the best wizards from all over the country and abroad to compete. Depending on their abilities, it is not uncommon for them to be recruited into the Royal Magical Army. If you show more than that, you might even be recruited by the court wizards.」
「That’s a good thing to hear.」
「Or you could ask father or soone in a certain position to recomnd you. The best thing would be to get a recomndation from fellow court wizards.」
「Unfortunately, I don’t know any court wizards.」
If he had known soone, he would have first tried to fight and take that seat.
Sam, who thinks that would be the quickest way to do that, is also quite a brainiac.
「There is a court magician who is related to our family, but I’m not sure if I should introduce him to Sam.」
「You know a court wizard?」
「Yes. But he is a little bit special, or sothing.」
Lise’s voice stopped as she searched for words.
Her eyes widened, as if startled by sothing.
「Lise-sama?」
「…So, if you speak rumors, it’s all good, right? But your timing is terrible.」
Lise’s gaze was behind Sam.
She turned around to see what was going on, and there was Erica.
She was not the only one with him, a strange young man was with him.
「Erica-sama?」
「Sam… here you are. I’m afraid you have a visitor.」
「?」
Perhaps the young man with Erica is Sam’s guest.
He is a beautiful young man with elegant blond hair, dressed in a white suit.
He is the most well-dressed-looking man I have ever seen, not only before he was born, but also after he was reincarnated in another world.
Sam stands up so as not to be rude to his visitor.
「Gee, Günther.」
「Hello, Lise. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. We have a lot to talk about, but I’d like to finish what I ca here to do first.」
The young man, Günther’s voice is sweet, and combined with his beautiful appearance, he has the air of a prince.
Even Sam, who is of the sa sex, couldn’t help but admire him.
He’s just like a blonde prince. He looks like sothing out of a girl’s comic book.)
The gaze of such a beautiful young man turns to Sam.
(―――Hmm?)
He notices a hint of hostility in his gazes, and is slightly puzzled.
At least, he does not rember doing anything to warrant hostility from soone he has never t before.
「You must be Samuel.」
He stared at him *jii*, and Sam flinched.
Not knowing who he was or what he looked like, he turned his attention to Lise and Erica.
But they both just shook their heads with indescribable expressions on their faces.
Sohow, Sam doesn’t think it’s his imagination that they look annoyed.
「Um?」
Fearfully, Sam called out to the young man, who remained motionless, just staring at Sam.
The next mont,
「―――Aa, aahhh, n-no way…」
「Eh?」
「Aahh, that’s ridiculous, I can’t believe it, was it true?」
「Um, can I help you?」
「Ur is, Ur is, uuwwwaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」
Sam rolled his eyes at the young man who suddenly began screaming.
Günther kneeled on the ground and continued his wailing to the heavens.
「Eh? Huh? What?」
Sam could not understand what had happened and was bewildered.
