�Perhaps��

The sword, which made a ringing sound as it was drawn, reflected the torch.

Once he finished checking the blade, Rian put it back in the sheath and threw it to Shirone.

Raising his head in confusion, he stepped forward in order to catch the sword with both hands.

Rian spoke while stretching out his fingers.

�Since both of our weapons broke, let us consider this match a tie. If you really mastered Sword Smash, then we�ll have to account for that. One month from now on, let�s compete here with real swords.�

�Ah��

Shirone�s heart dropped.

He just wanted to survive, but he somehow made the situation worse.

Wooden swords and real swords were on totally different levels. In addition, Rian would not be giving him three chances like before.

�I might actually die this time!�

The faces of his parents came to Shirone�s mind, as he felt the fear of death for the time.

�Young master, please change your mind! I never even learned swordsmanship!�

�That�s why I�m giving you a month. You learned Sword Smash while cutting down trees? Although I can�t believe it, if you�re that smart, you should be able to come up with something in a month.�

Rian didn�t think it was unreasonable. It would have been possible for Ogent Rai.

He saw his brother in Shirone.

�Yeah, I just didn�t have enough resolve.�

�Don�t even think about running away. Regardless of my personal feelings, I will definitely surpass you.�

Rian�s last words tied Shirone down.

The following day.

Shirone, with a tired face, went to work in the library. He couldn�t sleep a wink due to what happened yesterday.

Due to having a lot on his mind, he couldn�t speed up his work.

�Let�s calm down.�

After struggling to calm himself down, Shirone was eventually able to regain his composure.

�I�m not dying now. I still have a month. I�ll be able to figure something out.�

First of all, background check.

According to the information he gathered, Lord Bischoff had three sons and one daughter.

The eldest son was a certified Grade 6 swordsman. The second son was also a genius swordsman who followed in his brother�s footsteps.

The eldest daughter was also talented, but she chose music over swords and was working as a royal pianist.

And after figuring out all that, he noticed Rian was the only one who failed to stand out in the end. JrNovels.com
