I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

"No, I lost this competition."

Reinhard shook his head, disagreeing with what Tsugakuni Yoriichi said.

As he spoke, he pointed to the crack on the ground.

"In the final duel, I was still one step behind. I couldn't control my strength as well as Mr. Jiguo, so that's why I left that crack on the ground."

"Mr. Jiguo's swordsmanship is truly formidable, even stronger than that of a so-called swordsman like me. I am ashamed of myself."

Emilia was a little surprised to hear Reinhard’s humble words, and Firut asked bluntly.

"Even if the Dragon Sword is drawn, it's still the same, right?"

"Well, in terms of swordsmanship, Mr. Jiguo is far stronger than me!"

Reinhardt spoke seriously, with a calm expression on his face.

This was a huge shock to Emilia and Firut.

After all, Reinhard's strength is a recognized fact, but now he actually admits that Tsugikuni Yoriichi is stronger than him, which is a bit shocking.

As a knight, Reinhard would not lie, so his words were naturally trustworthy.

"Let's leave this topic at that. Aren't you all hungry?"

Looking at the somewhat shocked expressions on their faces, Ji Guoyuan said jokingly.

Practicing with Reinhard today was really a very good thing for him.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had been able to compete with an opponent with such superb swordsmanship.

I didn't expect to encounter such a powerful existence on the first day I came to this world.

"Mr. Jiguo is right, let's go eat first."

Reinhard smiled and led everyone towards the hall.

. . . . . .

After a night's rest, early the next morning.

Ji Guoyuan woke up early, washed up simply, and went to the courtyard. He took out a book from the storage space and started reading.

For him, reading has become a habit of life.

Life is long, so there must be something to pass the time, right?

"Good morning, Mr. Jiguo."

After watching for a while, a gentle voice was heard.

I saw Emilia coming over with the kitten named Parker whom I met yesterday evening.

"Thank you for taking care of Leah last night. I was right about you."

Ji Guoyuan smiled, shook his head and closed the book.

"It's just a small favor, nothing more."

"That's not right. Even though Reinhard is here, I'd be very distressed if anything happened to Leah."

"This child always can't take care of himself..."

"Parker!"

Emilia called out softly with a slight blush on her face.

After all, she is still a young girl, and it is quite embarrassing to have her secrets exposed.

Seeing this, Parker shrugged and didn't continue speaking. Instead, he flew to the side of Tsugikuni Yoriichi and looked at him with some curiosity.

"I heard from Leah that you won the sparring match with Reinhardt yesterday?"

"It can't be considered a win, but I just got a little better at controlling my strength."

"That's already impressive. You know, with Reinhard holding the Dragon Sword, he's practically unbeatable."

As Parker spoke, her petite body fell down and stood on the bench where Ji Guoyuan was sitting.

"Liya, come and sit down."

Emilia nodded politely towards Ji Guoyuan, sat down, and looked at the book in Ji Guoyuan's hand with some curiosity in her eyes.

"What kind of book is Mr. Jiguo reading? The words seem strange. Is it a magic book?"

"Hmm, it's indeed a very strange text. I've never seen it before, but it doesn't seem to have any magical aura at all."

"It's not a magic book, just a book about medicine. As for the text, it might be because our place is relatively remote, so you haven't seen it before."

"Medical? Could it be about preparing healing potions? I remember magic can heal wounds directly."

"No, it's some surgery or something."

"Surgery? That's a new word, I've never heard of it before. I'm really curious about what your hometown is like..."

Parker looked at the book in Ji Guoyuan's hand and spoke curiously.

"Successor!"

At this moment, Lai Yueang ran over with the wooden sword that Jigoku Yoriichi gave him last night in his hand.

"Jiguojun, you got up too early. When I woke up, I found that there was no one in the room."

"I'm used to it, and the air is better in the morning."

At this time, Lai Yueang saw Emilia next to Ji Guoyuan and quickly waved to say hello.

"Good morning, Emilia."

"Good morning."

"I remember you, you were in the warehouse with Leah last night, right?"

"um, yes."

"You're holding a wooden sword. Do you know swordsmanship?"

Lai Yueang shook his head somewhat embarrassedly, but the embarrassment only lasted for a moment.

As a middle school boy who traveled to another world, although he was discouraged by Elsa, he now has Yoriichi Tsugumi.

It was no less than a sunny road lying before him.

Lai Yueang held the wooden sword in his hand and made an extremely childish and shameful posture.

"Although I don't know swordsmanship now, under the guidance of the successor monarch, I will definitely become a strong man in the future."

Looking at Lai Yueong's childish expression, Parker stuck out his tongue at Emilia and clapped his two little cat paws together.

"You are indeed a passionate young man. I support you."

Ji Guoyuan smiled when he saw this, and put the book in his hand into the storage space, which made Parker stunned.

"magic?"

As elves, they are very sensitive to magic and other things.

And the action that Yuichiro Tsuchikuni just took made it mistakenly believe that Yuichiro Tsuchikuni had cast some kind of space-type magic.

"It's not magic, it's just a prop."

Jiguo Yuanyi explained and nodded at Lai Yueang.

"It's still early. If you want to become stronger, you can't be lazy. Let's train."

"Yes! I'll be counting on you today, too!"

Lai Yueang spoke excitedly, his eyes full of hope for the future.

After seeing the battle last night, Lai Yueang became more determined to practice swordsmanship.

In his opinion, Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Reinhard were not much older than him. As long as he was willing to work hard and train diligently, he would be able to become as strong as them in the future.

Chapter 16: An Invitation from Reinhard

Emilia sat aside, watching Jiguo Yuanyi teaching Lai Yueang, and a look of curiosity rose in her eyes.

"Mr. Jiguo, you are such a mysterious man."

"Right, not only is he strong in swordsmanship, but he also seems to be proficient in magic."

"Proficient in magic? Didn't Mr. Jiguo say that it was a magic item just now?"

Parker put his hands on his hips and shook his head helplessly.

"Although he was talking about magic props, I could sense a very powerful and majestic force from him..."

"Hmm...if I were to ask myself, I think he might be a little stronger than me."

"This power feels somewhat similar to Mana. Given its power, it's normal for it to possess some magic."

"I just don't know how strong he is."

After hearing Parker's words, Emilia's curiosity grew even stronger.

Tsugikoku Yuichi and Lai Yueang are a seemingly strange pair, with too many mysterious things about them.

Whether it is the origin or the power, everything is full of mystery.

"But Mr. Jiguo is really a good person."

Emilia thought about last night when Ji Guoyuan stood in front of her to stop the figure of the intestine hunter and spoke softly.

"Well, I don't deny that. I can feel that he is a person with a very pure heart, just like Reinhardt."

Parker nodded in agreement, and they reached a consensus on this point.

Tsugikoku Yuichi and Raiyueang didn't practice for long before it was over.

It’s not for any other reason, but because Lai Yueang’s physical strength can’t keep up.

As a high school student who stays at home playing games for a long time, Lai Yueang's physical fitness is really not that good.

Compared to the children of Aihara Enju and others, he is far inferior.

And from what Ji Guoyuanyi observed, his body is currently in a sub-healthy state, which is obviously related to the fact that he didn't like sports before.

"Huh...huh..."

"Jiguojun, let's take a break first, okay?"

Lai Yueang lay on the grass in a very ungraceful manner, his chest heaving violently.

Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not force him to continue training. Everyone is different and he should not damage his body because of training.

"I think your current focus is not on learning swordsmanship, but on getting your body in shape first."

Jiguo Yuanyi put down the scabbard in his hand, took out the book again, and looked at Lai Yueang seriously.

"Exercise? Doesn't what I have now count as exercise?"

Lai Yueang looked at Jigoku Yoshiichi with some surprise. For him, the amount of exercise in the past two days was more than enough for him in the past week.

"Not really. Physical exercise needs to be done more systematically."

Jiguo Yuanyi shook his head and said softly, "Without a strong body, it is impossible to reach a high level of swordsmanship even if you learn it."

Although swordsmanship is often about artistic conception, the physical requirements are very strict before that.

Even when it came to Jiguo Yansheng, he chose to become a ghost because his human body had limited him and he could not make any further progress.

"But I don't know how to do systematic exercise. Should I do push-ups?"

Lai Yueang got up from the ground and touched his head embarrassedly.

"Almost. Running and push-ups are fine. Your current body simply can't support you learning swordsmanship."

If you are young, it doesn't matter, you can do it little by little.

But Lai Yueang is already in his teens now, so it is obviously not feasible to continue using that method.

"I understand, Successor King. I will definitely work hard!"

After hearing what Tsugikuni Yoriichi said, Lai Yueang did not become dejected or anything, but spoke with extra determination.
