Chapter 105: The Melancholy of a Certain Genius Swordsman
Numerous monsters were running from the center of the plain towards the entrance. Although they attacked humans they encountered along the way, strangely, their eyes didn’t reflect hunger or hostility. If one were to describe the emotion in their eyes, it would be “fear”. The monsters seemed to be afraid of something, driven to flee towards the outskirts of the plain.
“It’s bizarre… what could they be afraid of?”
Muttering curiously, a young boy swung the sword in his hand. Blood splattered from the blade, wetting the grass on the ground. Countless monster corpses lay around the boy, creating a hellish scene.
“Amazing… to take down that many monsters single-handedly…!”
“So, this is the genius swordsman… Wilhelm Lubase?”
The students around him sent admiring praises filled with awe. The one who slaughtered the monsters here and saved the students who were under attack was Wilhelm Lubase, the strongest male student in the knight department’s first year.
Lubase was not a member of the executive committee. However, he was recruited into the rescue team for his top grades among the first-year knight students. Originally from a poor noble family, he readily accepted the offer after being promised an appropriate reward.
The students rescued by Lubase were a mixed team of knight and magic department members, who, despite being in rival departments, were friends and participated together. They were saved by him when the monsters surged, narrowly escaping danger.
“That swordsmanship… surpasses even third-year knight students, doesn’t it?”
A student swallowed hard.
Lubase’s sword skills were beyond student level, comparable to professional knights. Considering he was only a first-year student, he could only be called a genius.
“Could it be that these monsters were fleeing? Driven from the depths of the plain by someone?”
Ignoring the rescued students, Lubase muttered to himself, lost in thought.
As if he didn’t care about the students he just saved.
“This is…”
“This is… an excellent opportunity!”
The male student who witnessed Lubase’s swordsmanship shuddered, while the female student’s eyes sparkled.
Although he was said to be from a lower-ranking noble family, judging by his abilities, he was clearly not someone who would stop there. It was certain that he would join the knights after graduation and embark on the path of advancement.
(This is a great opportunity to be saved by him…!)
(If I can make good use of this, I might become the wife of a high-ranking noble in the future…!)
He had excellent prospects for the future, and there were no rumors of him having a fiancée.
His appearance was somewhat plain, with his unkempt hair tied roughly with a string, and his long bangs covering his eyes. He didn’t seem to care much about fashion, but to those with a discerning eye, Lubase’s facial features were quite handsome.
The two female students, children of lower-ranking nobles, exchanged glances and nodded. It was a signal that whichever won, there would be no complaints.
“Eek! That was scary!”
“Thank you so much for saving us, Lubase-sama!”
“Eeek!”
The two female students clung to him from both sides. Startled, Lubase jumped back.
“Don’t… don’t touch me, don’t come near me! Don’t press your excess fat against me!”
“Huh…?”
“W-what…?”
“I-I helped you, so hurry up and go somewhere else! The entrance to the plain is over there. Hurry up and evacuate without bothering me!”
“”…””
Lubase, like a wary beast, shouted as he distanced himself from the two female students. It was then that they realized that he was extremely misanthropic when it came to women.
“Ah… sorry about that. Thanks for saving us.”
“Well then, we’ll evacuate now. Thank you.”
The male students who were with them retrieved the two girls and headed towards the entrance of the plain. Once the girls were gone, Rubes let out a relieved sigh.
“Huff, huff… women are really…!”
Rather than that… Lubase resumed his thoughts.
The sudden stampede of monsters this time. He speculated that the cause was something that had stimulated the ruler of the plain.
(Stimulating the ruler of the monster realm… by provoking Sabnock, he was forced to act. As a result, the monsters fled, and it seemed like they were ultimately launching an attack.)
Lubase made such a conjecture and turned his gaze towards the depths of the plain.
“Hmm…?”
There, he noticed something.
Ad
Someone was running at an incredible speed.
It was a speed that Lubase wouldn’t have noticed without his dynamic visual acuity.
“Could it be… they’re trying to challenge the ruler of the monster realm? The great monsterous beast that no one has been able to subdue since the founding of the country…”
It was reckless. Foolish. Rash.
“But… interesting.”
Lubase laughed ferociously.
As the prodigy of the sword from birth, he, hailed as a genius, felt his heart race.
“Shall I go…!”
Lubase dashed forward.
Running across the plain at a speed rivaling that of 【Super Acceleration】, he chased after the back of whoever had gone ahead.
