The Greatest Architect

12. Asran cardinal method (1)

It’s been a few days.

All this time, the sword training continued.

It was not great.

Lloyd was still running and running.

In addition, the gaps taught me how to grasp the sword, basic posture, and how to use the feet.

It was a thorough, basic training.

But Lloyd never complained.

He didn’t even appeal to teach you powerful skills, nor did he ask you to teach him techniques that might help him in the field.

He was just secretly focused on training.

I was surprised every day when Xaviel taught.

The surprise was that the brothers and sisters of the Baron Manor were the same.

“You trained him again today? ”

“I told you, I never complained. All day from morning until evening. ”

“My goodness. Even though it’s exhausting everyday…. ”

“Yeah. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. ”

“Me, too. This is crazy, right? ”

“What do you mean, it doesn’t make sense? ”

“Well, maybe the young master has some kind of disease? ”

“What do you mean, illness? ”

“Psychopathy. ”

“So you think I’m crazy? ”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s kind of crazy. ”

“…… That makes perfect sense. ”

A conversation like that came between the maids.

Then the soldiers in the mansion would also look suspicious.

“Master Lloyd, what’s wrong with you? ”

“Huh? What do you mean? ”

“No, it looks a little weird. Haven’t you seen him drinking lately? ”

“Oh, I don’t think so. ”

“Right?”

“Huh. Speaking of which. I don’t think I’ve seen him drink in at least a full day. ”

“Wow, that’s creepy. ”

“Why?”

“I have an idea that doesn’t make sense to me. ”

“What is that? ”

“Lloyd, isn’t that the guy sneaking pills? ”

“Medicine?”

“Uh, medicine. ”

“I mean, what medicine? ”

“What medicine. Drugs, man. ”

“What?”

“Shh. Keep your voice down. Listen, a human who used to only drink everyday quit drinking in the middle of the night. And all you do is train hard all day? I don’t think it’s junk. ”

“What–what are you talking about? ”

“Why doesn’t it make sense? I heard that some drugs can make you focus and immerse yourself in just one thing. Isn’t that what you’ve been training for all day? ”

“ ……. ”

“Am I right? Why else would a scumbag train like that? ”

“Uh, well, shut up, man. ”

“Why?”

“Back, back. ”

“…… After? … Uh, ah, hello, ma’am! ”

The soldiers, who were chatting at the mansion gate, hurriedly bowed down.

Marvela Frontera, the baroness behind them, smiles gracefully.

“Good work again today. ”

“Oh, no. ”

“Here, can you pass me this towel after my son’s training? ”

“Yes, ma’am. ”

“Thank you. It’s a lot of free work, isn’t it? ”

“Yes?”

“Pleasant conversations are a great way to soothe frivolity. Just please keep the topic line straight. He’s my son, after all. ”

“…… I’ll keep that in mind. ”

I often went back and forth.

The maids said he was crazy.

The soldiers thought he’d taken some medicine.

The barons looked at me with joy and worry.

In the meantime, Lloyd’s training went smoothly.

Xaviel’s surprise also followed.

‘I feel like I’ve become someone else. ’

It was a morning to evening exercise.

Horses are training. It’s practically a timeline for hell.

I’ve been running all day, even rolling.

I’m tired of swinging my sword in the same position.

I could barely reach the palm of my hand.

‘But I don’t complain at all. I’m not complaining. I’m enjoying it. ’

At first, I thought about how many days that curious look would last.

But now I’ve changed my mind.

Rather, I became concerned about the injury.

Lloyd was too motivated.

He was nervous at every moment and watched Lloyd train. Then, with a timing like a knife, I dried Lloyd and forced him to rest.

‘How can a person be so different? ’

I’ve been looking for booze every day.

Human scum who got drunk and acted out.

But I can’t find it anymore.

‘And those weird stories that I tell every night. ’

Thanks to him, I had a good night’s sleep.

Concrete or something.

Stress and me.

Bending moment, blah, blah.

It was definitely not a magic spell.

I couldn’t remember because I was fast asleep.

When I looked back at it, it seemed to be academic.

But that power…) was more powerful than sleeping pills.

All you had to do was sit comfortably in the chair.

After hearing a few words, my consciousness flew away.

I was able to sleep without knowing it myself.

I’m not surprised at this rate. It’s so mysterious.

Xaviel frowns quietly.

‘What the hell is he really like? ’

Past tense.

Surprisingly continuous current look.

It was just a canopy, so the gap was too big for me.

I’d rather believe that someone else’s soul had entered Lloyd’s body.

‘Of course, it would be impossible to do such a foolish thing. ’

He shakes his head.

He’s already approaching Lloyd, circling the thirtieth stage.

“Please stop, Lloyd. ”

“Huff, huff, already? It’s still worth a run. ”

“I know. ”

“Then why? ”

“We’re moving on to the next level of training. ”

“What next step? ”

“Mana sensitization training. ”

“Oh.”

Lloyd’s mouth goes up.

It was because the moment I expected was coming.

‘Honestly, I’m getting tired of basic training. ’

I ran hard to die.

I was focused on training without shouting.

Thanks to you, I have good health.

Her complexion was clearer and her whole body was revitalized.

Even the feeling of waking up in the morning was much livelier.

In the meantime, thanks to his integrity, he was able to get a lot of RP as well.

‘I got more than I thought. He’s already got 97 RP’s. ’

In a few days, Xaviel increased his appeal by an additional 1.

The RP obtained was 18.

In addition, with a preference for the Baron Frontera of 2, he was able to get 20 RP and 30 RP with a preference for the Baron of 3.

Thanks to this, Lloyd was gradually getting a sense of the RP acquisition system.

‘The RP obtained from Xaviel is 18 per favorability. And the barons get, like, 10 RP’s a piece? That means there’s a difference in the RP provided by each character in the novel. ’

Perhaps the more important a character’s novel is, the more RP they give.

Lloyd guessed so.

‘Then I guess I’ll just have to impress Xaviel. By the way, the barons are a little surprised. ’

In fact, according to the proportions in novels, the Barons do not share much.

Technically, it’s just an extra at the beginning of a novel.

By the way, you’re offering over half of Xaviel’s RP.

Perhaps there are more hidden roles that have not yet been revealed.

‘Anyway, you’re finally training for Mana sensitivity. ’

Regrets were new.

I was also excited.

‘If you want to beat Sir Neumann, you must at least start playing Mana from now on. ’

We have a full day until the duel.

Of course, just because you start performing Mana doesn’t mean you can create Manahart in the middle of the night.

Making Manahart takes a very long time.

Those who lack qualities are over a decade old.

Ordinary people, both within 5 years and outside.

He who is called Sujae has two years left.

Those who are called geniuses of the century are at least six months old.

It took Manahart that long to learn under the guidance of a skilled leader.

‘But Xaviel made Manahart in just one day. Even by myself. ’

You’re a monster.

While I was thinking that, Xaviel’s words stuck in my ear.

“Of course, don’t expect Manahart to be created immediately by starting Mana Sensitivity training. You have to take it one step at a time. anyway, just by doing Mana sensitivity training, your physical ability will gradually improve. ”

Xaviel’s map continues.

“Let’s sit over here, then. ”

“Like this?”

“Yes. Relax. Relax your shoulders. ”

“Is this okay? ”

“Yes. Now I’m going to inject some Mana into Lloyd’s body. ”

“Then what do I have to do? ”

“Nothing. Just close your eyes and feel the Mana path that I control. ”

“What is this, some kind of weather breakfast? ”

“What’s a weather breakfast? ”

“There is such a thing. Let’s get started.”

“I understand.”

Lloyd closes his eyes. I’m relaxed. I’ve drained my whole body.

Soon, Xaviel’s palm touched his back.

Unlike the appearance of a nobleman, I felt vivid through his palm-filled, crocodile-skinned cheeks.

Soon, a cool, clear energy permeated my back.

Suzus…….

“ ……. ”

So this is how Mana feels.

It was a strange and strange sensation.

Mana passed through the skin and muscles.

Water splashes into my body like a tissue.

Went down through the gut.

I was lodged under my belly button.

It was a site commonly called disconnection.

There, the Mana Nugget turns.

I entered my spine like I was on a highway.

The nerve was stimulated by climbing along the spine gradually.

I put my head on the back of my neck and came down, wrapped around my face.

Mana, who arrived to his chest, finally wrapped around his heart.

Muscles! Muscles!

A heartbeat sounds vivid.

The sensation of contraction in the muscles that expanded.

I sucked the blood hard and pushed it out.

The Mana Nugget seeps into the stream.

It came naturally into my heart.

You unleash your energy throughout your body.

I felt clear all over.

Lloyd opens his eyes after a long time in that state.

“What do you think?”

Xaviel’s voice is clearer than ever.

It wasn’t just that.

Visible view of the training ground.

The shape of a cloud floating in the sky.

All of that seemed clearer than before.

If the old field of view was of ordinary HD quality, it was like the world was suddenly upgraded to full HD quality.

Moreover, the wind that touched my skin felt more vivid than before.

One Mana Sensitivity Training.

All senses were gradually improved by that alone.

Lloyd looks back.

Xaviel looks a little proud.

So Lloyd smiled.

First Mana Sensitivity Training I’ve ever done.

I returned the most honest impression I had of it to Xaviel.

“That sucks.”

“…… Yes? ”

“That sucks.”

“ ……. ”

Xaviel’s proud expression cracks.

But Lloyd spits out more metal.

“It doesn’t make any difference. ”

“Haven’t you noticed the moving Mana in your body? ”

“Oh, I felt that. ”

“Lloyd, that’s proof that Manawa has experienced it. You’re actually more acute than you used to be. ”

“Oh, this? You’re just going to be this colorful? ”

“Lloyd. ”

Xaviel’s eyes darken toward this direction.

I felt a chill in my voice.

“That’s not the best you can say. That’s how it’s supposed to be. ”

“Mana Sensitivity Training? ”

“Yes, it is. Now Lloyd is making a big mistake. ”

“A mistake. What kind of mistake? ”

“Too much anticipation, I suppose. ”

“Are you talking about me? ”

“That’s right.”

Xaviel’s answer becomes a little livelier.

“With Mana sensitivity training right now, you’ll never be noticeably stronger or superhuman. On the contrary, step by step is most important for managing Manahart. just like I couldn’t get enough of my first drink. Lloyd would know if he had any common sense. ”

“Yes, of course I do. ”

“Then why are you using a swarm? ”

“Swarm? Me? ”

“Yes. Do you feel nervous as the battle with Lord Neumann approaches?” But that duel was too much from the start. Lord Neumann was never a weak man. He stepped on the threshold of Sword Express. ”

“I know. Lesser known as Sword Express. I’m not the easiest person to cross. Just enough to learn a normal, normal Mana technique for a full day. ”

“…… Yes? ”

Xaviel stops for the first time, as he reacts coldly.

Lloyd looks at Xaviel with meaningful eyes.

“Do you think I’m a bunch of jerks? ”

“Of course… ”

“Do you want to keep going? ”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. ”

“Hey, Xaviel Asrahan. Did I ask you to teach me how to use a sword? Or do I look like a fool to beat Lord Neumann after a mere full night of mediocrity? ”

“Of course… ”

“Let’s be honest. You, aside from your usual arts scheme, you have a secret arts scheme for me? ”

“ ……. ”

I knew it.

I always feel that Xaviel is not very good at lying.

‘It’s too messy. ’

I couldn’t hide my smile from that thought.

So I just laughed.

“Shall I speak plainly? Asran’s cardinal laws. Teach him that. Do you want to keep going? ”

“ ……. ”

Xaviel’s eyes widen.

Asran Deep Law.

It was Xaviel’s creation in the Knights of the Blood of Novels that made him the first Grand Master in history.
