◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
I was definitely screwed.
That was the conclusion I reached after much deliberation.
I was just going along with a little kid’s pace.
Thunder Dragon Sword Technique?
There was no way such a technique existed.
But that boy used a sword technique that absolutely couldn’t exist.
Moreover, he had self-taught it all by himself.
A talent that was chilling enough to give goosebumps.
No, it wasn’t at that level.
To describe that little kid in one word, he was literally a monster of talent.
At that mont, for so reason, I was reminded of a certain character.
Co to think of it, I still didn’t know the little kid’s na.
Maybe I had been subconsciously avoiding it.
Because I didn’t have the confidence to handle it.
Right now, I wasn’t just an extra.
I was even the Ti Stop Breeding Uncle.
I was worried that I might hold back the main characters.
“Little kid. Let ask you just one thing.”
At first, I really thought he was a boy.
But as ti passed, I had no choice but to realize, even if I didn’t want to.
The little kid was not a boy, but a girl.
Moreover, I had seen her face sowhere many tis.
I tried my best to avoid it.
I didn’t even try to learn her na.
Because I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
But there was only one character in my mory who could replicate a sword technique close to fantasy.
The one with unrivaled talent when it ca to the sword.
The one praised as the Empress of the Sword.
And coincidentally, the Empress of the Sword also had deep red hair.
I couldn’t run away anymore.
Even a fool would know by now.
But I needed certainty, not just suspicion.
I opened my tightly closed mouth.
“What’s your na?”
“What? My na?”
“Yeah.”
Just in case, it could be my bluff. And I sincerely hoped it was my bluff.
The girl, who tilted her head at my question, soon smiled brightly and said,
“Then will you praise ?”
“…Yeah.”
“Helia.”
As soon as the words ended, the na popped out of the girl’s mouth. And that na was too familiar.
The Empress of the Sword, Helia.
A knight who dared to surpass the heavens with a human body.
And she was also one of the main heroines of this ga.
Her red hair fluttered in the wind.
Helia’s red eyes, looking up at , smiled in a beautiful curve.
“Will you call Helia?”
I just realized the reason.
No, in the first place, Helia had a great illustration.
Moreover, her performance in the ga was good, and her personality was unexpectedly cute, so she was extrely popular.
But the only reliable person by her side was the Ti Stop Breeding Uncle.
How should I put it, I felt a sense of self-loathing. If Helia was influenced badly in any way.
But apart from that, Helia’s talent was real.
She succeeded in realizing the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique, which was close to fantasy, in just one week.
I clicked my tongue at that skillfulness.
However, I sohow brought myself back from the dizzying sensation by biting my tongue.
I had to get a grip.
I couldn’t have any more bad influence here.
“You’ve worked really hard, Helia. I’m proud of you.”
“Thank you, Teacher! But may I ask you one question?”
“What is it?”
“I’m curious about the na of this sword technique.”
“…”
How would I know that?
For a mont, those words almost ca out of my mouth. But I barely suppressed it with superhuman patience.
Stay calm, I had to give a plausible answer here sohow.
Normally, I thought she had worked so hard to learn it.
If I told her now that it was a lie, she would definitely get angry.
I would get angry too if I were her.
Damn it.
“Thunder Dragon Sword Technique, First Sword, Thunder Dragon Strike.”
After wracking my brain, I managed to give a sowhat plausible answer.
In fact, the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique never directly appeared in martial arts novels.
It was just briefly ntioned as an extra sword technique.
Of course, despite being a sword technique used by an extra, it had a cult following because of its cool na, the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique.
The important thing was that nothing was known about the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique.
In other words, to summarize the current situation, I had to make up everything about the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique from the beginning to the Five anings.
I just imagined it, but my head already hurt.
“Thunder Dragon Sword Technique, First Sword, Thunder Dragon Strike…!! I’ve engraved it deep in my heart!”
“You don’t need to engrave it that deeply.”
“No! I will never forget it.”
“I-is that so.”
“What is the next lesson? I’m ready.”
Helia looked at with a determined expression.
Her attitude of preparing for the next lesson right away was certainly admirable, but unfortunately, I wasn’t ready.
I racked my brain.
“You’re too hasty.”
“What? But…”
“Do you really think you’ve mastered the Thunder Dragon Strike?”
“…!!!”
“If it’s just cutting quickly, anyone can do it.”
For an improvised response, I thought it was a pretty good thing to say.
In fact, Helia also had an expression of realization.
Honestly, I don’t think I’m the one to say this, but…
“I understand what you an, Teacher.”
“Then that’s a relief.”
“Yes, I will work even harder.”
“…Yeah.”
There was no need to work harder here.
But Helia didn’t stop there and started practicing even more diligently.
Feeling like I would be a hindrance, I avoided that place.
For now, I managed to get by sohow, but the problem was what ca next.
I had to sohow establish the stances and Five anings of the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique.
And if I didn’t show a matching appearance, I might be exposed.
Damn… How did I end up in such a complicated relationship with the main heroine?
I roughly scratched my head.
Nothing good would co from being with the Ti Stop Breeding Uncle.
After returning to the hut, I quickly started creating the setting for the Thunder Dragon Sword Technique.
If Helia asked , I needed at least a basic frawork to sohow get by.
“This is difficult, really difficult.”
Fortunately, I had so knowledge about martial arts novels.
If I had been asked to make this from scratch, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.
No, if I didn’t know, would I have gotten into this situation in the first place?
I don’t know.
Let’s just work.
* * *
She made a mistake.
Her sense of accomplishnt turned into arrogance.
So unknowingly, Helia made a mistake. Asking to learn the next thing right away. Making a rude request to the teacher.
[Never wield this power recklessly.]
The lesson she learned on the first day ca to mind.
Do not wield this power recklessly.
She thought she had definitely engraved it in her head at that ti. But that wasn’t the case.
It was just lip service.
[The sword has no fault. It is the one who wields the sword who is at fault.]
Her teacher had said.
The sword is not at fault, but the person who wields the sword is at fault.
It was true.
The Thunder Dragon Sword Technique that her teacher taught was originally not intended for such a purpose.
“What is the next lesson? I’m ready.”
“You’re too hasty.”
“What? But…”
“Do you really think you’ve mastered the Thunder Dragon Strike?”
“…!!!”
Helia couldn’t dare to answer that question.
It was a question that shattered Helia’s arrogance.
Can I confidently answer that I have fully mastered the Thunder Dragon Strike?
In front of Teacher, no less?
The words wouldn’t co out.
She already knew in her head.
She had not perfectly mastered the Thunder Dragon Strike.
Soon, sha ca over her.
“If it’s just cutting quickly, anyone can do it.”
Not just anyone, but in front of Teacher, showing such an embarrassing appearance.
She couldn’t raise her head out of humiliation. But she couldn’t turn away either.
It was her own fault.
[An indomitable spirit that never gives up.]
“Teacher always gives the answer.”
The foolish disciple finally realized.
Teacher always gave the answer.
If she made a mistake, she had to acknowledge it and correct it.
She had to at least beco a better version of herself than yesterday.
What Teacher taught was not just a re sword technique. It was life itself.
To think she only realized it now, she was so foolish and pathetic.
Helia blad herself.
It was like a whip.
She isolated herself with guilt and anger in order to practice, aiming for growth beyond her current level.
And like that, the talent that overwheld even the heavens instinctively knew that she could go further.
Lightning flashed.
The sun had already completely set in the sky, and all that was left was darkness.
But without caring about the darkness, she gritted her teeth and kept swinging her sword.
“It’s still far. This level is not enough!”
She wanted to walk the sa path as Teacher.
She wanted to beco the sword that her teacher could wield.
That desire gradually caused her to break her limits.
Like how iron beca stronger steel through tempering.
Helia’s talent was also gradually blooming through extre training.
A talent that was originally supposed to bloom through tragedy was blooming due to desire for a single person.
But was that the right way for it to bloom?
A talent that should’ve blood after having lost everything she cared about. Suddenly blood because of a single person.
It was a truly distorted, yet beautiful bloom.
However, Helia didn’t know that fact yet.
And she probably didn’t want to know.
