Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

"...Black Wolf Sword King, Gilenu?"

"What did you say to Alice?"

Gileno repeated the question.

She crossed her arms over her chest and stared at me straight. Her breasts, which were squeezed high by her arms, seemed to be about to burst out from under the thin covering. It made me worry that she would expose herself.

That being said.

That's not where my focus lies.

The seemingly casual standing posture gives people an impeccable feeling.

The overall effect is not sharp, but it makes people have no idea where to start, as if no matter how they attack, they will be counterattacked at a faster speed.

The first time I saw Gileno, I was deeply interested.

Black Wolf Sword King, Gileno.

Before this, I had never fought against anyone at the level of Sword King. There were only a few Northern Saints among the Saint-level swordsmen. In the end, I always won easily with my mastery of swordsmanship.

However, the strength of the Sword King and the Northern Saint cannot be generalized.

And unlike Alice's immature style, Gileno's swordsmanship has been honed through thousands of years. He has killed both monsters and humans, and has rich combat experience and enemy strategies.

His strength is obviously not comparable to that of an ordinary saint-level swordsman.

I don’t know what I am like now…

Compared to the Black Wolf Sword King Gileno, who is stronger?

"What did you say to Alice?"

Just as I was thinking about it.

Gileno repeated the question again.

She stared at me with her one uncovered eye, as if she would never let me leave unless I answered the question.

"Alice is so immature now that I can't stand her. Or rather, she's regressed."

"…Why do you say these things?"

"I'm just telling the truth. Besides, Rudeus and I are half-brothers. Since Alice is determined to protect Rudeus, it's reasonable for me to offer some advice, right?"

I spread my hands and told him frankly.

However, this answer earned Gileno a puzzled look.

"What do you mean by half-brothers?"

“…That’s not the point.”

I was about to complain about this.

The door to the meeting room suddenly opened.

A man wearing dojo training clothes and a wooden sword hanging from his waist walked out and his eyes quickly fell on me.

"Ron?"

"It's me."

"Please come in, the Sword God has decided to see you."

"Ok."

heard this conversation.

Gileno tilted his head.

"...I heard Nina brought a man back from outside, and I thought she'd be interested in sex. So that's what's going on."

"Haha...this joke is not funny."

I laughed dryly twice.

seriously.

No matter how horny you are, you wouldn't bring a man you meet for the first time home, right?

It's not Elina Lijie.

……

……

The moment I entered the meeting room, the first person that caught my eye was a middle-aged man sitting at the end of the room, with the same short dark blue hair as Nina.

The knife-like face looks sharp and determined.

Even if you sit there in a very relaxed posture, you still feel stressed.

The sixth of the seven great powers.

The Sword God, Gal Falion.

At this point in time, there is no human being stronger than him.

Moreover, he is in his prime, at the peak of his strength.

It is truly the strongest human race in contemporary times.

From Gar on down, there are the Sword Emperors who are branch families. One of them looks very similar to Gino, so he should be his father.

to be frank.

Even the Sword Emperor is not someone I can challenge at the moment.

I am somewhat aware of my own strength.

So I continued to look downward.

There are several Sword Emperors, but only one Sword King.

It was Gileno who I was talking to at the door just now.

At this moment, she was also sitting here, with her eyes closed and expressionless, as if what happened had nothing to do with her.

Further down is the Sword Master.

A rough count showed there were about twenty people.

The appearance of so many Sword Masters at once gives people the feeling that "Are Sword Masters already everywhere?", as if Sword Masters have become worthless.

However, this is the Holy Land of Swords, the starting point and end point of the Sword God School.

And the title of Sword Saint can only be obtained here.

Therefore, those who become sword masters will want to continue to hone their swordsmanship, climb up, and continue to practice here.

In other words.

Most of the sword masters in the world are basically here.

Nina and Gino are here too...

However, Alice was nowhere to be seen.

Rather, it would be strange if I saw her.

It's Alice after all.

Sword God, Sword Emperor, Sword Saint.

Everyone's eyes were on me.

To be frank, I am not sure of winning against anyone here.

Moreover, swordsmen from the Sword God School are often stubborn and difficult to deal with.

even so.

I still strode forward and came to the center of the meeting room.

Bow to the Sword God in front of you.

"My name is Ron. I came to the Holy Land of Swords today for no other purpose than to feel that my swordsmanship training has reached a bottleneck. That's why I want to practice here and look for opportunities to advance further."

"I hope Lord Sword God will allow me to stay."

I said as respectfully as I could.

"..."

No one speaks.

But I could feel the Sword God Gal looking at me.

The silence lasted for about a minute.

Garl spoke slowly:

"How far have you mastered your swordsmanship?"

"I have learned the sword of light."

"I heard that you defeated Alice two years ago?"

"That's right."

"Two years. If that's the case, all the Sword Masters here should be confident of victory, right?"

"I can't guarantee a complete victory, but if I were to fight the Sword Master one-on-one, I think I wouldn't lose at least."

After I said that.

There were faint discussions around.

Maybe my statement was a bit arrogant, which made these sword masters dissatisfied.

But I'm telling the truth.

Sword God Style, Water God Style, and North God Style.

With the guidance of Orsted, I have integrated these three major factions. None of them is particularly outstanding, but I can guarantee that there are no shortcomings.

In other words, as long as he is a sword master in the conventional sense.

Even if I can't win, I won't lose.

"Um……"

Gar rubbed his chin.

After looking at it for a while.

He commented in a playful tone:

"You, it's obvious that you've been training very hard and have plenty of combat experience. You also have a good attitude, which is very much to my taste."

Hear this.

The sword masters present all showed surprised expressions.

Even Nina and Gino are like this.

However, the Sword Emperors did not react.

As if this is just a matter of course.

Then Gal added:

"But, to put it simply—your talent only goes so far."

"You should have mastered a style other than the Sword God Style, right? To be able to reach this level while mastering so many styles simultaneously, you are indeed talented, but this talent only goes so far."

"Let me think... Sword King? Well, that's pretty much the limit."

Gar stated the conclusion in a casual tone.

Well, I expected that.

Orsted also said that my talent in swordsmanship is limited.
