Fantasy: Life Simulation As A Sword - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Is Arthur the Genius?

“What? Grott and Ferguson lost?” he asked.

Some of the nobles were stunned. Their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they’d just heard.

“This… How is this even possible?”

“This kid from the countryside defeated Grott and Ferguson at the same time?”

Many people shook their heads as they watched Grott and Ferguson lying on the ground.

This was simply too unbelievable!

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it!

Grott and Ferguson were high-ranking students from the academy, worthy of being called elites. When faced with ordinary transcendents, one of them could take on ten!

In the end, they’d actually lost. It was even more amazing that they lost without causing any harm to this commoner!

“How can this country bumpkin be so strong?”

“The sword in his hand must be high-grade!”

“Isn’t that an epic-grade tool?” Some of them looked at the sword in Arthur’s hand with fear in their eyes.

“Are you serious?!”

“This country bumpkin actually has such a weapon!”

The other nobles’ eyes widened when they heard the voice. Even in the capital city, not many people had epic-tier weapons.

This poor kid from the countryside actually had one in his hands, and it wasn’t an ordinary weapon!

Immediately, many nobles looked at Arthur with jealousy.

Jynx’s eyes widened as he watched Grott and Ferguson being thrown out of the ring like dead dogs. She had never expected Arthur would be so powerful!

He had actually defeated Grott and Ferguson, who had been studying at the academy for more than a year!

From the moment Arthur accepted Grott and Ferguson’s challenge, she was thinking about how Arthur would survive. She had never thought he would win.

But now, Grott and Ferguson were unconscious, while Arthur was standing there with ease!

–

In a room with soft lights.

Viscount Alger raised his glass and clinked it with the others.

Standing in front of him was Catherine’s father, Mayor Isaac. He was Cantero City’s mayor.

Mayor Isaac was like Catherine as his head was full of thick golden hair. He was very tall, at 1.9 meters. Additionally, he had a strong body. He didn’t have a beard, which made him look very young.

Other than that, there were also a few nobles who stood beside the two of them.

The two Viscounts, Viscount Morton and Viscount West, were Grott and Ferguson’s fathers.

Jynx’s father, Viscount Alger, was in charge of the recruitment this time. He was currently drinking with Mayor Isaac, Viscount Morton and Viscount West while discussing the recruitment of academies.

As for the nobles, with Viscount Morton and Viscount West as their representatives, they stood to the side and waited for Viscount Alger and Mayor Isaac to finish before they threw out a few words of flattery.

They were being very respectful. This was because they were also Viscounts like Viscount Alger and Mayor Isaac.

However, they were older, and their cultivation levels were much lower.

If they didn’t have special circumstances, they would only be energy level three for the rest of their lives.

However, Viscount Alger and Mayor Isaac were different. They were younger, but their cultivation had already reached the peak of energy level three.

The both of them could break through energy level three at any time and become a Count at energy level four!

At that time, their status would be completely different from those two.

Their current respectful attitudes were also for the sake of building a good relationship in the future.

“Since Sir Alger has already received approval for the recruitment of students to the Sky Radiance Transcendent Academy, I’ll definitely cooperate.”

Mayor Isaac said calmly after drinking a glass of red wine. Viscount Alger didn’t hesitate to express his gratitude.

Afterward, Mayor Isaac changed the topic and said, “Speaking of nearby geniuses, li’ve recently heard of one who might have the chance to enter the academy.”

“Oh? What kind of genius could attract the attention of Cantero City’s mayor?” Viscount Alger was intrigued.

With the mayor’s experience, he wouldn’t pay much attention to the first and second energy level transcendents. But now, he actually mentioned that someone was a genius. This person must really have amazing aspects.

Hence, as a teacher at the Sky Radiance Transcendent Academy, Viscount Alger was immediately curious.

“It’s not a big deal,” Mayor Isaac said with a smile.

“Yesterday, someone reported to me that a young man had killed a peak energy level two transcendent Baron named Spencer in Huska, which is located a hundred miles away from here.”

“I’ve seen Baron Spencer before. He’s one of the best within all the energy level two users.”

“If he wanted to escape, even an energy level three expert would face difficulty chasing him.”

“Not to mention he was killed in his own territory by a young man who’d just entered energy level two. Additionally, the young man had no experience in any academy.”

“I also heard that this young man is only around 18 years old. Do you think he’s a genius?” Mayor Isaac asked with a smile.

“According to what Your Excellency said, this young man should be a top-notch genius!”

“If that’s the case, then this person definitely has the potential to enter the transcendent academy!” Viscount Morton and Viscount West clapped their hands and agreed.

To be able to kill a Baron at the age of 18 without any guidance. With such strength, he was definitely a top genius. His potential was more than enough to enter the transcendent academy.

After hearing Mayor Isaac’s words, Viscount Alger immediately asked with interest, “Then, is there any news about this young man here, Your Excellency?”

“No.” Mayor Isaac shook his head. “The young man disappeared after killing Baron Spencer. According to my subordinate’s report, he returned to Huska for revenge. Since he succeeded in his revenge, he naturally left. Right now, other than knowing that he’d been holding a sword in his hand, no one knows where he is.”

Viscount Alger shook his head in regret when he heard that this person had disappeared without a trace. However, when he heard Mayor Isaac mention that the man wielded a sword, Viscount Alger suddenly thought of the youth Jynx had introduced him to.

He always held a sword in his hand, and he looked like he came from the countryside.

“Could it be? Is Arthur the genius?” Viscount Alger pondered. However, he immediately shook his head.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Arthur was just an ordinary teenager who had helped Jynx catch a thief. Although he was also a transcendent, his strength was limited.

There were so many young men in the world who came from the countryside and held swords. How could he be so lucky to have already met the genius?
