A Transmigrator’s Privilege

It has been four days since I have been doping training with one pack of Ginseng extract a day.

Thanks to running hard, I gained the combined effect of four weeks of training, and Rigid Body has already reached Lv.17. My physical condition had changed a lot and I felt as if I could participate in track and field as a part of the national team and win a medal right now.

{Excellent work, Cadet Ellet. It seems that basic physical training is now over. I thought it would take at least a month, I’m really surprised.}

“Hehehe. It’s all thanks to the instructor’s support.”

{I’m glad that my support became a strength. I think we can start to take on weapon training.}

On the fifth day of training, Agnes conducted a theory class before starting full-scale weapons training.

{Cadet Ellet, do you know what other names Aura users have?}

“Yes! Sword Master!”

{You got it right. It’s Sword Master. It means that you have attained the ultimate in swordsmanship. So, do you know why you can take the first step in Aura only when you reach the last step of swordsmanship?}

“Um, well…….”

Agnes did not delay the time as if it was natural to not know.

{I’ll show you.}

Agnes, who embodied her ghostly form in front of me, started the demonstration. She had a twig in her hand.

{Aura is the source of life, and to put it simply, it is like flowing water. It’s formless. It is no ordinary matter to let such Aura flow according to one’s will. Even when you have mastered swordsmanship and can handle your beloved sword as if it were a part of your body, the only thing you can do at first is to let the aura form on the sword. So, by default, Aura users enter under the title of Sword Master.}

Swish.

As Agnes shook the twig, a white aura of energy overlaid on the branch. It was a sword called, Aura Sword. Of course, it’s not a real sword, but an energy reinforcement.

{The realm of Aura users is divided into three stages. Can you tell me what they are?}

“Beginner, Expert, Master!”

{Yes. At the Aura Beginner stage, once you get used to it, you can inject Aura into any shape. Like this twig.}

“Wow, so everything around you can become a weapon?”

{Yes. However, this cannot be said to be a high-level skill. It’s basically forming an aura layer on any type of surface. Now I’ll show you the Aura Expert.}

The white light on the branch gradually increased in length.

“Oh, the Sword Aura is taller than me.”

{No, this can’t be called a Sword Aura anymore.}

Tuk.

Even though Agnes dropped a branch on the floor, the white light remained in her hands. Then I remembered the name of the weapon made of that light.

“Sword……so, Aura Blade?”

I inadvertently said wuxia martial arts terminology, but corrected it in the middle.

{Yes. To understand it in a simpler way, Aura, which is like flowing water, becomes hard ice. The higher the level, the harder the Aura Blade becomes, far exceeding Adamantium, Mithril, and Orihalcum.}

“Ah….”

Agnes let go of the Aura Blade, but it did not fall nor vanished.

{There is no rule that you have to hold it with your hand. All you have to do is make it flow with your will.}

“What?!”

The sword of light floated in the air and revolved around Agnes. Then, at some point, it stood tall and exploded into seven.

“Oh god…”

Crazy. This is the Ten Thousand Swords.

(Note: I’m so in deep-level of Wuxia termology at this point that I want to cry.)

{This is the ultimate state, the Aura Master. Seven is the limit for me.}

“Wow! Sist-, no, Instructor you are so cool.”

I felt like falling in love for real. At this point, should I push Aura as my main ability instead of just divine power?

{This is not the end.}

“What? Is there another after Aura Master?”

{Soul sword.}

“Ah.”

{You must have heard of it. It is a state of transcendence that can instantly kill an opponent by moving the Aura at will. In terms of divine power, it can be said that it is at a level where only a proxy of god can step on.}

(Note: The divine counterpart used is called언령-Kodama. The act of words having power. So, if you say Die, and you have plenty of divine power for it, the person dies. Proxy of God is pretty much near it.)

“Wow….”

{I did not reach it.}

I felt remorse from the words she added with a smile.

The theory class ended with the seven spectacular swords disappearing.

{First of all, you should choose the type of weapon you want to master to the extreme. It will take a long time to find the right weapon for you, Cadet. Let’s try them one by one from now on.}

“Yes, Instructor!”

I took out the ‘training weapon package’ I bought at the cash shop for today’s class. It was a kit containing various types of weapons such as swords, spears, bows, and whips.

Agnes, who praised my readiness, said.

{Cadet Ellet, I have some good news and some bad news before you pick up your weapon. What would you like to hear?}

“T-the bad news?”

{Up until now, I have been very kind. From now on, as you start training in earnest, you will know the true fear of this instructor. I’ll show you why this instructor is called Hell Instructor!}

“Hik. The good news is?”

{The Cadet is very lucky to meet an instructor like me.}

“…….”

{Oh, I don’t mean to make fun of you, it’s because I know how to wield all weapons. I can teach you any weapon you choose. That’s what it means.}

“Aha.”

Nodding my head in agreement, I thought to myself.

‘The instructor is lucky too. Because….’

I checked the buff in the system window with pleased eyes.

[{Status} ‘Blessings of high-speed growth’

The protection of the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau that raises the achievement rate of all abilities by 5 times.]

‘Because her cadet is an OP.’

It’s time to show off your true value, After-Life Insurance Benefits!

{Okay, I’ll teach you the sword first. I’ll give you an example, so follow along. Come on, like this!}

“Yes! Ya! Ya!”

[{System} congratulations! Basic Wood Swordsmanship Lv.2 has been achieved.]

[{System} congratulations! Basic Wood Swordsmanship Lv.3 has been achieved.]

Even before the 20 minutes passed, messages popped up one after another.

{Ho? You’re doing a lot better than I expected. Next is the spear.…see? Now do it. If it doesn’t work, you’ll do it until it works!}

“Yes! Hyaa!”

[{System} congratulations! You have achieved Spear Lv.2.]

[{System} congratulations! You have achieved Spear Lv.3.]

Level up was also fast with the next one.

{……Hmmm, swords and spears are the most basic types of weapons. It seems that the Cadet is the strong type with basic skills. However! It’s going to be really different from now on! Raise your bow! It’s time to experience the frustration of not being able to reach the target!}

“Yes! Whoa!”

[{System} congratulations! You have achieved Archery Lv.2.]

[{System} congratulations! You have achieved Archery Lv.3.]

What does frustration taste like? I don’t know.

{……Th-this, this time it’s going to be really difficult! The whip is a high-level weapon that requires the ability to delicately control the tension of the rope! I’ll give a stinging lesson to the Cadet’s pride, so be prepared!}

“Yes!”

[{System} congratulations! You have achieved Whiplash Lv.2.]

[{System} congratulations! You have achieved Whiplash Lv.3.]

“Hehe?”

{……}

“Instructor?”

{What kind of monster…… Where did this legend come from?}

I think it’s the best compliment I’ve ever heard. I’m so proud.

Agnes sighed and assessed me.

{You can just choose whatever you want to do. Choose your main weapon and secondary weapon.}

“Oh, then I…….”

There was a weapon I had in mind from the beginning.

Without hesitation, I chose the sword as my primary weapon and the whip as my secondary weapon.

Agnes was silent for a moment, and I waited for her reaction.

{Cadet.}

“Yes.”

{Did you choose it on purpose?}

“A little?”

I laughed softly.

{……You’re a snarky cadet.}

Agnes, aware of my true intentions, seemed to smile a little, but soon changed to her serious face.

{Cadet Ellet, I will ask properly. Does that mean you want to learn the Whip sword?}

I also looked at her with a serious gaze.

“Yes.”

I’ve learned a bit about Agnes.

Agnes Azlit.

A paladin who wields a Whip-Sword that freely changes length and path according to the flow of Aura.

She was famous as a hero of the continent and a Saint of the Holy Country who stopped the ‘Ice Palace Dungeon Burst’ decades ago, from the front lines.

But even before such achievements, she was a promising aura user with unrivaled skills inside the Vatican.

Already mastering all weapons in her teens, she earned the title of Weapon Meister, and in her twenties, looking for a deeper realm in martial arts to dig into, she mastered the whip-sword and devised her own swordsmanship.

Is constantly argued that if she hadn’t died and were still alive, she might have defeated Prince Hispenril, the strongest in the current setting.

‘Maybe she would have reached the level of Soul Sword.’

It is a special sword technique made by a person who became a role model regardless of nationality. It was absolutely necessary to learn it.

{It’s been a long time since I’ve seen these eyes. You seem really greedy.}

“Yes. Please teach me.”

{The Whip-sword is different from a normal weapon. You can only learn it when you have reached the limits in the sword, the whip and can handle Aura at an expert level or higher. In the first place, a whip-sword is a sword that is maintained with Aura.}

“I know.”

{Hoo, and you still dare to choose swordsmanship that is far beyond the starting line? Good. If you don’t change your mind until you qualify, then I’ll think about it.}

“Really? You promised!”

{Yes.}

I got a chance. I gave an immediate bow.

“Thank you, Instructor!”

✠

The rewarding life of a transmigrator continued.

I pray early at dawn, lightly lap over obstacle tracks, do morning swordsmanship training, weigh herbs at the dungeon farm in the morning, craft potions in Dad’s lab in the afternoon, and train again for the rest of the day…

The time to be a playmate of the Count’s Young Lady was diminished. Bianca has also been busy with her successor classes these days.

We could only see each other for a moment in the evening, like now.

“Mr. Rodellaine and Eli’s potions are finally on display in the shop from tomorrow.”

And as always, it’s a work topic.

Gillette’s estate had three dungeons. The subjugated dungeon is always crowded with adventurers who have come to dig up resources.

The places where my potions would be delivered were the potion shops around there.

“This is the contract document. Read it.”

“Okay.”

As I took the papers Bianca gave me and looked through them, I spontaneously yawned.

Uninteresting content is also a problem, but I was really tired from continuing training even after the effects of the Ginseng extract had decreased fatigue….

“……hot!”

I came to my senses after I dozed off, but when I saw Bianca sitting across from me.

“oh!”

“…….”

She was doing the same.

We checked each other’s condition and laughed.

“You look very tired these days, Eli.”

“Bia. Is the successor class very difficult?”

“A little. I have a lot of homework, and I have exams every day.”

“You take exams every day?!”

“It’s okay. But it’s hard because I can’t see Eli’s face often.”

“Bia…….”
