chapter 12
Episode 012. That’s enough money left over
Hamar was wearing the street clothes he had worn when he first entered the mansion and was carrying a luggage bag in his hand.
The baron was surprised to see that he was about to run out of the mansion immediately.
“No, Hamar. what’s that outfit? Did Aaron do anything wrong?”
“no. You did nothing wrong.”
“Then why… … ?”
“You don’t need my teaching anymore, Bocchan.”
Hamar opened the bag in his hand to reveal the book inside.
“How long do you think it will take the Baron to read all these books?”
“Well, I think it would take a good month to just read the book.”
“yes. No matter how familiar you are with books, that’s normal. But he did it in a week. I read all of these books in one week without missing a single page.”
A noble’s education begins at the earliest at the age of 7, at the latest before the age of 10.
It was because the bigger the head, the more he saw and heard, so the speed of learning new knowledge slowed down.
But Aaron was different. Despite the age of 18, he absorbed new knowledge without hesitation.
Not only did he learn the contents of the book by reading it, but there were times when he showed a better attitude than Hamar when taking exams.
It’s a bit rude to use for a noble, but it was like looking at a machine.
“I have nothing to teach you now. If there is anything the young master wants to learn, just bring me a well-organized book.”
“… … her.”
The baron opened his mouth slightly and made no reply.
“Then I will go away. May the Oddhaken family be full of glory.”
Hamar left the office after leaving a brief greeting.
The baron stared blankly at the door he left and said quietly.
“Bring Aaron.”
* * *
“This is the baron’s private study.”
that afternoon. Derek led Aaron to the baron’s study.
Sieg and knights, who are the deficit, had no interest in reading books, so only the baron and the butler came in and out occasionally, but today they finally had a new guest.
“Even though the scale is small, there is nothing missing, so if there is something you want to find, just tell us.”
“thank you. Derek Ball.”
“I am really glad that the young master likes books. Then have a good time.”
Derek left, leaving Aaron in the study.
“I didn’t know my father would love books so much.”
Aaron looked around and said.
The room, about 10 pyeong, was packed with bookshelves lined up like dominoes and more than a thousand books.
“It’s like manners. What is this?”
[Imperial Imperial Recipe – I learned the basics.]
As soon as I saw the cover of the book, a message popped up in front of my eyes, and various cooking ingredients and recipes came into my head.
“hahahaha. It was a cookbook.”
Aaron smiled and returned the cookbook to its place.
After breaking the book collection achievements at random, it seemed that even these useless books were affected by a sense of déjà vu.
“Heterogeneous? These will be useful.”
[I learned about the history and culture of the High Elves.]
[I learned about the history and culture of the Dark Elves.]
[I learned about the history and culture of the dwarves.]
[The history and culture of the Orcs… … .]
Aaron devoured all the books on different races that took up an entire bookshelf.
It took me less than an hour to read it all, since the only way to read it was to skim the cover.
“This is enough… … . oh?”
Aaron opened his eyes wide as he left the heterogeneous bookshelf and looked around the other bookshelf.
Because I finally found what I was looking for.
[Imperial swordsmanship]
After learning that knowledge can be acquired through books, the first thing I wanted to try was martial arts.
I thought that since I learned how to greet and eat just by reading etiquette books, martial arts would be the same.
[Imperial swordsmanship – Learned the basics. (0%)]
“Eh?”
Aaron, who took out the book with a fluttering heart, twitched his eyebrows.
If you learned it, you learned it. What does 0% mean?
After thinking about it for a while, he turned the cover of the book with the thought of not being able to do it.
[acquisition rate – 0.2%]
Sure enough, as soon as I opened the first chapter, white letters appeared on the book.
Since swordsmanship is something that requires complex and intense movements, it seems that even if a sense of déjà vu arises, you have to read the book yourself.
“Where is this anyway?”
In Buffett, swordsmanship was a kind of labor that required a long time to learn.
You had to achieve 100% proficiency in all movements, such as cutting, stabbing, and blocking, and you had to constantly train to maintain your proficiency.
It was only because the sense of déjà vu was activated, but without that, he would have had to swing his sword thousands of times without moving.
“This is enough business to spare.”
Aaron took out all the martial arts books he needed to read, piled them up, and started reading whatever he could find.
“How many days has it been?”
five days after that. The lord’s office.
The Baron asked Derek with a worried look on his face.
“It’s the fifth day.”
“Did you eat properly?”
“yes.”
“That’s fortunate.”
The baron sighed briefly and rested his chin on the desk.
It was even good that he introduced Aaron to the library according to Hamar’s advice.
But it wasn’t good for him to shut himself up in the study because reading was not enough.
Since Aaron entered the study five days ago, he has been living there and reading books.
Even when Derek visited, he didn’t blink an eye, and even when the baron visited him himself, he was stubborn with tears in his eyes.
It was like being haunted by a dead ghost who couldn’t read a book.
“Isn’t it said that geniuses do a lot of unusual things? Don’t worry too much, Bocchan’s probably like that too.”
“I didn’t bring Aaron to lock himself in the study and read a book. Of course knowledge is important, but… … . Tsk.”
The baron, who was about to complain, soon cut back.
He saw in Aaron the qualities of a good knight.
The purpose of introducing the study was to train the body and cultivate the mind at the same time, but it was frustrating to insist on reading.
smart-
As I was thinking about what to do, someone knocked on the door of the office.
“Who are you?”
“Father, this is Aaron.”
“Aaron? Come on in.”
The baron’s face, which had been pensive, turned red.
“hello. young master.”
“Gong Derek.”
Aaron made eye contact with Derek and then approached the baron.
“okay. Are you finally ready to put the book down?”
the baron asked in a playful voice.
“yes. That seems to be enough. It looks like I was stubborn and worried my father.”
“no. Seeing how happy you are, it feels like you are doing the duty of being a father even now.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Aaron bowed his head respectfully.
He was in good shape after being locked up in his study for five days.
Her face didn’t look tired, and her hair was well-groomed, as if she had just woken up after lying down for a while.
“I like books too, but you far surpassed my level. Which book was the most interesting?”
the baron continued.
In addition to useful books such as history, manners, and cookbooks of each country, there were many interesting books such as old heroic epics, historical events, and magazines.
Aaron, who likes books, most likely spent time reading those things.
There would have been no opportunity to read books at all in the mines.
However, the answer that came out of Aaron’s mouth was completely unexpected.
“It’s a swordsmanship textbook.”
“fence?”
The baron’s eyes widened.
I was going to praise him even if he only read history or cultural books, but swordsmanship textbooks?
No matter how hard I tried to pretend to be calm, I couldn’t help the corners of my mouth going up.
“This is the first time I’ve heard that swordsmanship textbooks are fun.”
“It wasn’t fun.”
“what?”
“The swordsmanship textbook was extremely boring. The tone of the writing was stiff and there were more types than pictures, so it was hard on my eyes to read just one page.”
“Then why did you read it?”
The baron asked with a hard face.
Aaron looked up at the ceiling of his office as if recalling the past.
“Ever since I was a child, I have always wondered what my father’s path was like. After meeting my father in person, that thought grew even bigger. That’s why I wanted to follow that footstep.”
After a short talk, Aaron looked at the baron with determined eyes.
“father. May I learn the sword?”
* * *
Odd Haken’s swordsmanship was quite high compared to that of the baron family.
A swordsmanship with Odd Haken’s own colors on the imperial swordsmanship, which is the basis of all swordsmanship.
It was worth taking until I learned other high-level martial arts.
“The captain taught me directly?”
next day. Oddhaken Mansion Gymnasium.
Aaron, who was standing on the other side of the gymnasium, asked with a surprised face.
The day before, the baron summoned the knight commander and ordered him to teach Aaron swordsmanship.
I just meant to assign a knight with experience, but unexpectedly it was the knight commander himself who came to the gymnasium.
“I cannot give the honor of teaching you to someone else. Or do you not like me?”
“It would be an honor, of course, if the captain taught me. By the way, is it okay if you give me some time? There must be a lot of work to do.”
“It should be a lot, but it doesn’t matter since I entrusted it to the vice-captain instead.”
Gardi pointed to the man on the other side of the gymnasium.
Viktor, vice-captain of the Oddhaken Knights.
Suddenly, he took over the duties of the leader, and he was staring at Gardi with burning eyes.
“Sir Viktor’s eyes are unusual.”
“That friend originally had sharp eyes. Now, don’t worry about that and let’s get started, shall we?”
Gardi turned his head away, ignoring Viktor’s fierce gaze.
“The basis of all martial arts is stamina. There is a saying that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Would you like to run around the gymnasium with all your might?”
“How long can I run?”
“You can run until I tell you to stop.”
“yes.”
Aaron started running around the gymnasium as Gardi told him to.
‘one two three four… … . Five turns already?’
Gardi, who was watching the gymnasium with his arms folded, opened his mouth slightly.
It is Aaron who has not been able to eat properly since childhood and has been exploited in the mine.
I thought I would fall down after two laps at most, but I’m already running 5 laps.
It wasn’t normal either.
‘Oh, it looks like I’m going to die.’
However, unlike Gardi, who had a proud expression, Aaron looked like he would collapse at any moment.
After escaping from the mines, he raised a few levels, but it was still far from enough to keep up with the knights.
“omg. omg.”
I think it ran seven laps.
His breath, which had been getting more and more rapid, finally reached its limit, and he felt the taste of blood in his mouth.
[Your cardiorespiratory endurance has reached its limit. The ability will increase slightly.]
The moment I thought I couldn’t do it anymore, a message appeared in front of my eyes, and my breath that had risen up to my chin became lighter.
“uh?”
Aaron almost lost his balance and fell at the sudden message.
I thought it was just a level, but to tell me that it even increased my stats.
It seemed like it would be much easier to grow my body if I could see that my physical abilities were improving in this way.
“stop!”
Seeing that Aaron was about to fall, Gardi hurriedly grabbed him by the shoulders and stood him up.
‘Oops, I should have stopped earlier.’
Originally, I was going to stop after only looking at the level in moderation, but after watching it without thinking, I ended up leaving Jin out.
Excessive exercise is rather poisonous to beginners who have just started training.
It seemed like a good time to take a break.
“Brother, sit down for a moment… … .”
“no.”
“… … yes?”
“You have to move when your body is warm. I don’t want to rest already.”
Aaron got down on his knees for a moment to catch his breath, then looked at Gardi.
“What next?”
Only I am immune to magic
