Chapter 291
Sword saint .
It is the title of the strongest human swordsman .
The title can only be inherited . The current sword saint has to nominate someone and that someone can only inherit the title once he defeats the current sword saint .
In short, there can only be one sword saint .
The sword saint only has two duties .
The first one is to always seek and keep the title of strongest .
The second one is to destroy anyone who falsely claims to be the sword saint .
The sword saint must do whatever it takes to fulfill these duties .
Presently, Pirika Winup is the official sword saint .
Gulf explained .
「Why would the strongest swordsman wish to be Gulf’s disciple?」
「I’m ashamed to say this but I can’t beat Gulf-sama with my present ability . 」
「… . aren’t you the strongest swordsman?」
「I won’t lose in terms of sword technique however, if we fight, I will lose . 」
I don’t understand what you’re saying .
Aren’t you the strongest?
When he saw me looking doubtful, Gulf picked up a fairly thick wooden stick .
When I was thinking of what he’s doing, Pirika moved .
No, she didn’t move .
It was Pirika’s bunshin that moved .
There are four of them .
Each of them cuts the wooden stick that Gulf put up with a sword slash .
The thick wooden stick was cut four times so it has become five pieces .
No, six .
The main body shook her sword too .
Even if I’m an amateur, I understand how amazing she is .
I almost instinctively clap .
I managed to stop my hands because I heard the disgruntled mutter of Daga and Youko .
「Waste . 」
「Wrong… . 」
Ehto… . . what’s wrong?
I don’t feel like I can beat her .
When I asked for an explanation, Daga answered .
「Lack of experience . 」
Youko politely taught me more details .
「Village chief, for you to understand it easily… . let’s use magic as an example . Even if you can use fire magic well, it doesn’t mean that you can use fire well . 」
I’m sorry . Even with that explanation, I didn’t get anything .
Maa, can you try using normal words… .
What do you mean?
TN: I just want to say my version . Even if you know accounting, it doesn’t mean that you are good at budgeting . Knowing sword technique doesn’t mean she can win every battle . You need to know when and how to use them first . Lack of experience indeed .
It is Gulf’s time to teach me .
「What she did is something that even Loo-neesan and Tier-neesan can do . But as you can see, they never used it in the martial arts tournament before, aren’t they? It’s because it is not practical . 」
Not practical… . but I think it’s great .
「If she really wants to use bunshin on a practical level, she needs to be as good as Bulgsan first . 」
The difference between the bunshin of Bulga and Pirika… . .
Every bunshin of Bulga is moving differently .
You can say that she really multiplied .
As for Pirika’s bunshin?
Even I can tell which one is the main body in an instant .
「In addition, she also slashed on one side . Though there are five simultaneous slashes, it is easy to evade . 」
… . .
Five simultaneous attacks, I don’t think that’s easy to evade .
Five places at the same time, right?
Isn’t that impossible to evade?
It is easy because they are attacking the same area .
If you evade one, the other attacks are also useless… .
I see .
But I think the degree of difficulty is high… . .

Pirika had a mock battle with Daga .
One glance and I knew that he treated Pirika lightly .
「It looks like she’s trained to be the sword saint from the beginning . Her swordsmanship is focused on fully utilizing the holy sword’s power . Her swordsmanship demonstrates the power of the holy sword and not herself . She’s really terrible . 」
Those harsh words came from Gulf .
If he’s calling her terrible, what about me?
Am I at a level that is not worth evaluating?
「I don’t even want to comment . 」
That’s Daga’s impression of the mock battle .
Pirika has teary eyes .
She’s pitiful so I ask him to at least give her some advice .
「… . . you trained too much at the dojo . Your technique isn’t bad but everything else is third rate since you don’t have any killing intent . In addition, it takes you too much time to do something . Your technique is beautiful but it is not suitable for actual combat . I’m sorry to tell you this but, did you really defeat the previous generation sword saint? You should obediently return the title of sword saint and start training again . 」
Pirika burst into tears when she heard Daga’s advice .
Gulf mutters while scratching his cheek .
「I said something similar… . 」
From there, Gulf told me about Pirika’s circumstances .
It was 15 years ago when she came to study at the dojo that the former sword saint opened .
It is said that the dojo boasts more than two hundred swordsmen selected from all over the country . They said to have been working hard .
Among them, the young Pirika was accepted and was trained steadily .
The problem occurred ten years ago .
It has been five years since Pirika has become a disciple .
The previous sword saint suddenly died .
She heard that he had a cardiac arrest when he’s visiting a shop where you can flirt with women in exchange for money .
Since the dojo master died, there should be a new dojo master to lead it… . .
But the one who died was the sword saint .
Being appointed as the next dojo master is the same as being nominated as the next sword saint .
Therefore, no one was appointed as the next dojo master .
Then, one of the outstanding disciples of the dojo suggested returning the title of sword saint to the kingdom .
It was decided that the dojo will be run by a group of excellent disciples and the new sword saint will be decided by the kingdom .
The teaching of the last generation sword saint was taught to everyone . Sword skills must be improved correctly and don’t indulge in selfish desires .

Until that time .
The kingdom bestows the title of sword saint to its own general .
At the kingdom’s side, they thought that they are free to bestow it to whoever they like .
Since there is an ongoing war, they thought of using it as a means of lifting the fighting spirit of the soldiers .
However, the group of outstanding disciples of the dojo who thought that the title of sword saint can only be inherited by one of them fly into rage .
He attacked the general that was bestowed with the title of sword saint .
The general was accompanied by over 3,000 troops and only 20 outstanding pupils attacked them . However, they managed to kill the general .
The kingdom was angry and tried to capture the group of best disciples of the dojo .
As for the group of outstanding disciples, most of them died so the arrest was smoothly done . Those who survived the attack were also wounded all over .
They were executed .
At the same time, the kingdom decided to crush the dojo but they were stopped by the church .
Knowing that only the disciples of the dojo know the sword saint’s technique, they won’t allow them to end like that .
Though she doesn’t know what kind of negotiation happened, the kingdom allowed the dojo to survive .
At that time, Pirika was the one who held the highest position . She’s the only member of the outstanding group of disciples that didn’t participate in the attack .
Although she’s also one of the outstanding disciples, the other outstanding disciples did not inform her about the attack so she was not able to participate .
No, they might have not informed Pirika since they don’t want her to experience such a violent attack .
Pirika became the dojo master . In order to protect the dojo, she began training .
However, because the kingdom prohibited them from leaving the dojo or participating in foreign matches, they can only practice in the dojo .
Ten years have passed since then .
Just a few months ago, the title of sword saint was given to Pirika giving her freedom .
Shashaato City seemed to have been her first destination .
She heard rumors about the martial arts tournament so she participated .
She was defeated in the finals of the martial arts tournament and stuck to Gulf since then wishing to be his disciple .
… . . areh?
If that is the case, why did she not go to the person who won in the finals?

Gulf didn’t participate, right?
He’s a special judge… .
The person who won the final challenged Gulf as it is .
So that’s how she notices Gulf .
Why was the title of sword saint suddenly given to her?
It seems like the kingdom wants the title of sword saint and proposed a match with the dojo several times .
While they continued to be repulsed, they succumbed to the pressure from other countries .
Is the title of sword saint that influential to other countries?
……
If that is the case, to give it to a general without permission, that kingdom is not a good country .
The name of the kingdom is Fullheart .
That’s the country that has been at war with the demon king’s kingdom .
Just hearing its name, I know that it won’t be a good story… .
Digression .
I, Gulf, Daga, Hakuren, and Youko are lined up side by side .
And Daga is instructing Pirika .
「Arrange us in terms of strength . 」
「Ehto… . 」
Daga, Gulf, Hakuren, Youko, me .
Pirika decided that Daga is the strongest .
「Dagsama and Gulf-sama has the same smell of my fellow senior disciples from the dojo . 」
Daga laughs at Pirika’s words .
「I am honored but this isn’t the correct arrangement . 」
Village chief, Hakuren, Youko, Daga, Gulf .
「First of all, if I fight against Gulf ten times, I will win 8 times . Even if there are a hundred me, I won’t beat Youko-san . Youko-san won’t win against Hakuren-san . Village chief has already won against Hakuren-san . 」
「Who said I can’t win against Hakuren? It’s just that I don’t want to fight . I fought against village chief too… . it was a complete defeat . I don’t think I can win . I also don’t want to try again . 」
Youko supplements Daga’s explanation .
「I also lack fighting experience . My weak point is I can’t measure my opponent’s power . 」
… . .
As for me, it should be Hakuren, Youko, Daga, Gulf, then me .
