Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

7 – Growth

In the six months since the coming of age ceremony in the fall, I have learned so many things from Aunt Lana.

-Chaechaechaechaeng!! Chaeae!!

“Punch deeper! Take advantage of your height and strength!! Let the slightest amount of interference be buried in the flow of the sword!!!”

“Hwaaa-!!”

The sword, which was previously swung recklessly, now takes control of space more efficiently and disciplinedly through sword techniques.

-Kwaaa!!

“Don’t be swayed by mana! Mana is ultimately just your tool, so your movement and sword path must come first and then let mana flow in that path!!”

And the sword that dominates the clearing is overflowing with blue mana that was not there before, showing that the efforts to build up mana so far have not been in vain.

Swordsmanship and mana training methods.

The two most important things you must learn in advance to become a knight in this world.

Aunt Lana, who taught her despite her half-confidence at first, taught me her own Mana practice method after I faithfully attended her training without missing a single time.

Obviously, things like mana exercises are something that is not easily shown to others, much less taught…

I was just grateful to Aunt Lana, who gave it to me without any compensation, saying it would be helpful as I devoted myself to swordsmanship.

-Chaaeaeaeaeae!!

“Thank you for your hard work, Yohan. Whoa, whoa… “

“Heo-eok, heo-eok, heo-eok… “

At the end, when the swords clash and the sound of the collision between the sword and mana mixes with the slowly fading sunlight in the clearing, Aunt Lana announces the end of today’s training.

I always feel this way, but I still don’t understand why Aunt Lana is in a country like this.

With this level of ability, skill, and swordsmanship, I’m sure it would be at a similar level to the named knights in the game…

“Whoa…” Now, it’s going to be difficult if you don’t deal with Yohan sincerely. Even if you search all over the continent, it would be difficult to find a prosecutor or engineer who grows as quickly as Yohan. “This lady will guarantee it.”

The lady helped me up and told me how great I was, but she didn’t know for a while that I could make Aunt Lana sweat.

Ability score in the mid-40s is about the level of a mid-level knight of a fairly famous knight order… I can’t believe I’m finally hearing that it’s difficult to deal with them roughly.

Of course, I only have one active skill related to swordsmanship and I haven’t yet acquired equipment or anything like that, but it’s still too much…

“Go wash up quickly! Oh, before that, bring Lena, who will be in the forest, too! “I have to eat dinner soon!!”

“Yes, ma’am! “I’ll be back soon!!”

After sparring with her once, it was so hard that her body felt like it would break, but she never showed any signs of being tired and continued to support us as we trained.

As someone who was always the youngest in charge of cleaning up the gym after exercise, I knew very well how tiring it was, so I thought Aunt Lana was even more amazing.

It’s new to me, but I feel like there’s still a long way to go. In the future, I must express my gratitude and show them some form of filial piety.

Feeling such gratitude, I went into the forest and looked into my condition while looking for Lena.

“Status window.”

-Tiring!

The job column on the status window shows that he was promoted to Special Swordsman, the job with the highest potential before changing to a knight, and his stats have increased significantly.

Although I may have benefited from the growth-related characteristic of rapid chronicity, I am even more proud to think that these are all things I gained while staying in this village last fall and winter.

Lucky numbers are… Well, since it is an ability that cannot be improved in most cases without artifacts or such, I am satisfied if it increases by about 5.

Even though you may have an incredible talent, the fact that you have gained the strength to live in this world in just 6 months is an amazing thing in itself.

If my growth hadn’t stagnated in the middle, I could have gotten a little stronger, but at 21, that’s enough. What more can you ask for?

And the abilities are also abilities.

“Oh, what a gain!”

-Suddenly!!

I also became accustomed to hunting wild animals and monsters that appeared in the forest.

I was a little worried about what to do with blood, let alone using a sword, but as I lived, I quickly got used to it. If you want to live right now, you have to kill animals or monsters, but what’s the fear of losing?

After roughly grooming the rabbit she had hunted, Lena found her at her usual retreat.

“Lena!! “It’s almost dinner time!!”

-Kooooo!!

Lena puts down the log she was swinging at the place we made as a resting place and training ground between hunts and looks at me with the same beauty.

“A little late? “What happened, Johan?”

“No. Lana was sparring with her aunt and got a little on fire so she stopped… “

“Well, because the two of them spar so hard. I was the one who learned her mother’s mana training method first, but it’s a little embarrassing that she lags behind and practices in secret… Ha… “

It seemed that Lena, who was training alone these days as she was growing up faster in swinging her sword while pondering on her own after Aunt Lana gave her direction, was sweating through her sleeveless clothes.

Even though the day is still chilly, I’m sweating like that… I can’t believe I can do that by concentrating on my own. That’s amazing. I would have never been able to endure exercising alone.

“What is that again? “Did you hunt on the way there?”

“Yes. “I thought it would be cool to smoke it and eat it together later.”

“Good. Let’s go back quickly. “Mom must be waiting a long time.”

Should I say that the distance between me and Lena, which I have become accustomed to, is a compensation for the time I have spent so far?

I started to get used to her unrealistically pretty appearance and easy-going behavior to some extent.

While dealing with the village guys, I got a first-hand experience of what the gender reversal concept in this world is like.

Now that the gap between this world and me has been greatly reduced, the distance in my heart with Lena has also been reduced a lot.

Lena also said, ‘I’m glad she looks better than John before her,’ so it must not be a bad thing for her.

“Now that I think about it, I guess I should start preparing for farming. Prepare for monsters as well… ”

On the way back home, I was talking about the future with Lena.

-Help!!! Here, the monster… Ahhh!!

A subtle, yet fearful scream was heard.

“John!!”

“That way!!”

Perhaps it was thanks to my sensitive senses among my passive skills, I quickly figured out the direction of the sound and took the lead without delay, drawing my sword.

We moved our feet quickly, splashing the dirt of trees in the forest that we were now quite familiar with.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok, heo-eok… !!!”

Aiden Bjor, a saint of the Holy Kingdom who was secretly moving to the Imperial Knight Academy, forced his old body to exert strength as he gasped for breath.

Because he knows that if he doesn’t, those goblins running towards him will tear him to pieces.

‘What is so hateful about this useless old man?’ ‘

Would it have been so unpleasant to move to resolve the discord between the Empire and the Holy Kingdom?

The saint’s mouth clenches in anger as he thinks of the archbishops who bribed his knights to leave him alone in the middle of the deep forest.

Nevertheless, the desire to live was strong even for Aiden, who was called a saint.

“Help!!! Here, the monster… “aaah!!”

-Waaah!

Even though the rusty daggers of the goblins were stuck in the tree he was passing by, he made him scream out loud.

When I looked back, I saw a group of goblins who had already arrived close enough to throw their weapons at me.

“Huh, huh!!!”

A monster that directly inflicts wild and even greater fear on an old man who has lived his entire life with nothing but prayer comes running screaming.

I thought I ran fairly fast, but was this the limit for my old body that never exercised?

-Sharp!!

“Kuheuuu!!!”

When he stumbles and falls, an old dagger gets stuck in his thigh, making his leg hot.

Despite the burning wound, Iden tries to survive by crawling somehow.

-Kisit Sisik… tasting… !!

-Kyahaaa!!

The laughter of the goblins, who sensed the end of the hunt, became louder and louder in his ears.

‘Is this the end? ?’

I just swore to live as a priest who only serves Goddess Bjor, and lived for others without any of her greed for her own…

The last moment of my life was dying as food for goblins… Is this one of Goddess Bjor’s intentions?

“Please, someone please save me…” Please please… “

Goddess, please have mercy on this old servant.

Please end the long human war on the continent and bring peace.

Iden Björ prays for peace on the continent until the last moment of fate.

To him worthy of the name of a saint

-Suddenly!!

-Kyahaaa!!!

-Key, keyshaaat!!!

“There! Are you okay!!”

-Percussion!!

It is safe to say that it was a miracle of God. A young and beautiful angel took up the sword and began to realize the goddess’s mercy.
