Scarecrow Slayer was a pretty meaningful title.

Because he made things that would have taken thousands of hits to break break with just a few hundred hits.

Of course, I don’t know if this is really the power of the Scarecrow Slayer, or if it’s just my brawn that grew from beating up a bunch of scarecrows… but good things are good, right?

Yeah, to be honest, it’s a title and they’re using it with their name on it, so I guess they’re correcting it somehow.

The problem is that they don’t tell you the correction value.

“Master, I’m done.”

Titles: Proud Son, Best Juggler in the Village, Swordsman with Great Swordsmanship, Dummy Slayer, Dummy Harpooner

Now that we have the harpooner in addition to the murderer, please stop with the scarecrows…

I don’t want to see a title like that… Ha, fucking shit… .

“Oh, it definitely got faster. It seems like the foundation has been laid. Hmm, let’s see.”

Kook- kook-

“No, Master. Why do you touch other people’s bodies like that? If I were a woman, I would be offended.”

“You’re not a woman, so you’re touching her.”

“Oh my, that statement… .”

“Does the scarecrow look like it wants to break more?”

The butcher looks annoyed and makes an angry expression, and I cough in vain, afraid that it might really turn out that way.

“Oh, no. What, can’t you at least make a joke, huh?”

“Hmm, I’ve definitely gained some muscle. I guess I can move on to the next step.”

But this time, I got a definite answer that I could definitely move on to the next step.

If you make me a scarecrow or a pillow again, I was really planning on protesting this time.

But how can you tell if someone has gained muscle or not just by feeling their body?

“Do I need to do something like InBody?”

“Why do you do that? My hands are more accurate.”

I guess it’s because he’s a meat worker… Ugh, it’s creepy. It’s like he touched my body like meat.

“Now that we’ve finished the beating, let’s learn how to stab and block.”

Stabbing and blocking?

You said you were going to teach me some incredible swordsmanship skills, but now you’re telling me to just stab and block, right? I…

Why on earth does he have the title of swordsman?

Is this skill? Is learning how to stab and block skill? You fucking idiot!

“There isn’t much difference between stabbing and cutting, but it’s good to use when your opponent is close. Blocking is the core of swordsmanship. If you can use Aura later, it’s really good, but even if you can’t learn Aura, if you know how to block properly, it’ll be a sufficient means to protect yourself, unless you’re up against an opponent with a huge gap.”

I listened intently to the CEO, who was talking a lot for the first time in a long time.

Yeah, so what if you just stab and block?

The important thing is to study hard and meet the level of the academy entrance exam.

“The stabbing… will be done on actual moving objects rather than scarecrows. And the slashing will be done as well. Slashing moving objects and stabbing running objects.”

Oh, it looks like I’m finally getting rid of the scarecrow.

I was really worried that I would be told to do the stabbing with a scarecrow.

“It won’t be as easy as you think. It’s easy to cut something that’s stationary, but if you target something that’s moving, it won’t move as you want.”

“Yes, Master. So what are you holding on to?”

“It’s a wild boar.”

Suddenly a wild boar…?

“Huh… ?”

No, isn’t the difficulty suddenly increasing too drastically?

No matter how much I wanted to catch it moving, this crazy boar is an opponent that could kill me with just one hit…?!

If you see a wild boar, run away. Hey, I think I learned that in my past life?!

“Of course, before facing an actual wild boar, you will first learn how to block and then proceed.”

Phew, that’s a relief.

Still, they are telling me to give them one survival kit and hit them.

“Blocking with a sword is easier than you think. No matter what pose, I’ll attack now, so try to block.”

“Huh?! Suddenly a master?!”

No, Mom, this guy is weird…!

The difficulty level keeps going up and down on its own…?!

“Of course I’ll do it weakly. I’ll do it so that even if you’re a weakling, you won’t get hurt, so don’t be afraid and try to block it.”

“Hehe. To be honest, you’re using the poison technique, right, Master?”

“I don’t know about that. Okay, I’ll give you some time to prepare. After all, it’s your first time.”

Anyway, since it’s your first time, I’m giving it to you.

So, from now on, you’re going to come in anywhere without warning.

This is going to be a pain in the ass for a while.

Since I was told to do it, I slowly got into position.

They say it’s a blocking stance, but they didn’t teach me anything anyway, and I think the best defense for me is offense.

And the most familiar posture is the one where you cut down your opponent while cutting down a scarecrow.

“Oh, are you going to do that?”

“Yes, I think you need to find the most familiar stance to be able to defend or attack.”

“Hahaha, you have a nice head! Anyway, let’s go!”

Doo doo doo doo doo-!

Some crazy human being ran towards me, making a noise like a wild boar was running towards me.

“Kaaaah… !”

Choaaaak!

The sword he was holding was clearly a thin and not very sturdy sword.

The attack that comes with that wooden sword is truly beyond imagination.

It was a heavy attack that carried the weight of the wind that blew around it.

“… It wasn’t as bad as I thought, was it, Master?”

There was a slight crack in the sword, but it blocked it perfectly.

No, well. Maybe it’s just me who thinks it’s perfect.

Although they had expected this and attacked, it was safe to say that they had succeeded in their first defense.

Because the arrow couldn’t get close to my body and bounced off.

***

Duncan, who was once a renowned prosecutor but now worked as a simple butcher, couldn’t help but be astonished.

‘What’s happening now?’

Theo in front of me was someone I had been keeping an eye on for a while.

Moreover, he was a guy with an unbelievable amount of tenacity, so even Duncan, who did not accept disciples, was charmed into taking him as his disciple.

That wasn’t important right now.

He blocked his own wooden sword, even though he hadn’t been taught proper defensive techniques yet.

Of course, I wasn’t completely sincere, but I could definitely say that it wasn’t something that a beginner who hadn’t learned anything could have stopped.

‘Of course, if this was a real fight, I would have won.’

Duncan didn’t have just one sword, he had several, but the only one Theo was holding was cracked from the defense he had just had.

If this was a real fight, it would have been a fight Duncan would have won, but this was not a real fight, it was a place to learn.

“… Amazing.”

But Duncan wasn’t the type to give compliments or positive expressions easily.

This time too, everything was summed up in one word: simply amazing.

“Haha, well. But I think I’ve done it to some extent. What do you think, Master!”

Theo, not knowing what a monstrous thing he had just done, just waited for Duncan to comment with an awkward expression.

“Huh, you little brat. If this were real combat, you’d be dead right away.”

“Ah, you’re not even going to let me go to the field.”

It was a given.

There was still a lot to teach.

Duncan felt his heart beat faster as he thought that he might be able to surpass himself in terms of potential ability.

‘How long has it been since my heart started beating this fast?’

Theo, who was different from others from the beginning, was a talent who should go on to bigger and bigger stages.

“You said you were going to enter the academy, right, you punk?”

“Yes, I plan on applying when the civilian swordsmanship exam opens next year.”

“Don’t you want to learn magic?”

“Magic? My magic sensitivity is low and I can’t really feel magic.”

It was true that Theo had low magical sensitivity.

But that was because the magical power contained in the large magical power tank inside the body itself was not very large.

As the magic power filled up, it would come naturally and it was clear that he would show talent in that direction as well.

So Duncan felt sorry.

“Still, try to learn. The more commoner you can do, the better.”

Of course, I thought that if I studied swordsmanship alone for a year, I would become a monster, but it was a waste to leave my magical power alone like this.

“I don’t have money to go to that magic academy.”

“I know, you punk. There’s a guy I know who’s good at magic. Let me bring him over.”

“Huh? Is there anyone who knows about magic?”

“Yeah, you punk. I told you I was a good guy back in the day! ”

“Ah, I thought you were kidding.”

“ This guy’s baby is really.##◦

Duncan recalled a female wizard he had worked with when he was still an inspector.

‘That guy is probably around the same age as that guy Theo.’

A prodigy among prodigies who has been rumored to be good at handling magic since he was very young.

“Puechi! What, who’s talking about me?”

Estelle Ingrid was a child prodigy with blue hair, blue eyes, and a star on her forehead.
