30 Years after Reincarnation, it turns out to be a Romance Fantasy Novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2

After recalling the memories of my past life I became more mature in many ways including broadening my perspective and deepening my thoughts. Fortunately after much effort based on this I quickly became a soldier.

However not long after I became a soldier war broke out…

It was a war fought against a hostile country with which the kingdom was not on good terms and the war lasted for a short period of three years.

Unfortunately the war happened when I became a soldier and I had to participate in the war by crying and eating mustard.

I had a strong desire to run away but if I became a deserter not only would life be difficult but I couldn’t live my whole life as a wanted criminal so I had to grit my teeth and participate in the war.

The three-year war which can be considered a short period of time

However anyone who participated in the war will tell you…

It was a fierce and terrible war as if it had been fought for 30 years not 3 years.

And fortunately the winner of the terrible war was the faction of the kingdom I belonged to and this served as an opportunity for the kingdom to rise to the rank of a great nation if not an empire.

Am I who was a soldier of a kingdom now a soldier of a powerful nation?

From what I heard the salary will increase by about three times and there will be a certain amount of tax relief as a war veteran.

At this rate the fact that my arm was almost cut off and my stomach was pierced is to some extent an extenuating factor…

‘Is it possible for it to rot?’

If it weren’t for the real troll’s resilience he could have died dozens of times…

For the first time I felt grateful to the spellcaster who tortured me in the name of an experiment when I was young.

I realize once again that war is truly a dog.

Well anyway I decided to not care whether the kingdom became a great power or not considering the fact that I survived intact.

Above all…

‘I’m quitting because I’m dirty!’

Perhaps it was because of the crazy difficulty of participating in a war as a new soldier but I was a civil servant and I was a noob and everything was disgusting.

So I immediately submitted my resignation and tried to run an inn with only my severance pay.

Even though the income is not good I have a small expectation that I will be able to live comfortably.

But unfortunately things rarely work out as planned in the world.

“Hoo did you do it?”

“Yes?”

“You saved the princess! “Thank you thank you so much hehe!”

“···?”

The remnants of the enemy nation suddenly attacked the camp and I just fought recklessly but somehow I ended up saving the kingdom’s princess…

If someone had heard it they would have scolded me for telling me to lie and I was extremely resentful of being the subject of such a lie.

I was planning on living quietly without standing out but then I saved the princess?

Where on earth can you find such nonsense?

But unfortunately reality is reality…

“I didn’t know that a talented person like you would end up rotting away like a soldier.”

Suddenly the nobleman threw a sword and a necklace resembling a dog tag.

“From now on you will be a knight…”

“??”

Although I didn’t know it later I learned that the old-fashioned looking middle-aged man was the knight commander and I later learned that the knight commander has the authority to appoint knights at his own discretion.

So I unexpectedly became a knight…

···Really out of the blue·

‘Is this right?’

“I can…”

“I’m a former slave?”

“The kingdom doesn’t care where you come from as long as you have the ability.”

“In fact I also have a history of being involved in an assassination organization…”

“Huh you have an unusual career? But it’s actually better! “Experienced positions are welcome!”

“····”

I hated it so much that I even came out as an assassin but it didn’t work on this guy…

I felt it then…

This guy is also quite a crazy person…

‘···It really looks like a dog·’

* * *

Afterwards I became a knight at the age of 27.

To be exact the parachute engineer…

That’s right the other guys are from nobles or graduated from prestigious academies but I’m from a commoner and used to be a soldier…

A guy like that got to wear a knight’s business card thanks to the knight commander so the word parachute would be appropriate…

Also as in any organization the existence of a parachute…

“You lowly bastard how dare you know where this place is…!”

“Pull out your sword… I’ll send you where you belong…”

“It will be better for you to go out on your own.”

···Bullying harassment etc.·

It was bound to be difficult through various means.

This is the fate of the parachute without protection…

‘The knight commander is worse than nol!’

What happens if you select it as an article?

Instead of having fun I’m just sitting in the manager’s office drinking tea!

If you made others like this you might want to protect them but it’s not like that…

I got so worked up at the moment and needed to relieve the stress…

like that·

“Are you guys too satisfied with me?”

My eyes rolled back and the next moment my memory was interrupted as if I was drunk…

When the memories came back again what was in front of me was the image of the knight Dae Myeong lying in a blood clot and the knight commander who had subdued me.

“Hehe he is also an interesting talent. He seems to have no proper teacher but he instinctively knows how to fight. He is truly like an animal.”

“…Stop playing with people and just accept my resignation… Please note that this is not a request but a warning… If you don’t accept this I don’t know what I will do to you…”

“okay? “I really want to see that. What kind of warning is it?”

“I made it clear…”

Now I’m the knight commander and I’m so annoyed that I wanted to at least hit them on the chin if not kill them.

I stopped caring about what happened next…

Anyway whether you die one way or another it’s all the same…

but·

Puk puk puk!

“Now wait a minute!”

“Hehe when are you going to show the warning?”

“Oh no I made a mistake…!”

This guy is so fucking strong…

I didn’t get the knight commander by gambling but I just found out when I met him that he was the strongest captain among the knights…

The level was different from the others…

Just like being beaten to dust on a rainy day I was hit again and again…

When I thought that if I continued like this I would be beaten to death the leader stopped punching me and…

“Heulheul you really have a strong body. Look at me I’m all sweaty.”

“You crazy guy…”

“You can even move your mouth… you’re a talented person!”

“I’m going to hand in my resignation…”

“Well I won’t accept that. If you want to quit try to beat me. Then I will accept your resignation.”

“···Urajil·”

I clearly realized that I had been wrongly caught by this strange but insanely strong monster and for the first time that day I even shed tears…

But after that instead of shedding tears I sharpened the knife in my heart and made a promise…

‘I will definitely quit!’

A gentleman’s revenge is never too late even if it takes ten years.

‘···You can win right?’

However I couldn’t help but feel a little less confident…

* * *

After that day the people who bullied me disappeared…

No to be exact most of them turned pale and ran away when they even met their faces…

Well some of the fans I beat up are still receiving treatment at the temple and among those who have recovered some are said to have retired because they were unable to recover mentally.

‘Did I beat you up a bit harshly?’

Still I can’t help it…

Who told you to get so upset?

You were the first to get on the nerves of someone who was living a quiet life…

Well as things turned out like this I was forcibly alienated from the knights and just did my job in silence…

My goal is to eventually defeat the leader…

So for this purpose I had to speed up my efforts to defeat the leader and I did something called ‘training’ day and night which I haven’t done much since my days in the assassination guild.

Even though I only know a little about training…

“Isn’t that the kingdom’s basic sword technique?”

“I think so?”

“···Can we defeat the leader [Auror user] with that?”

“It’s impossible…”

The only training I knew was the stealth and dark techniques I learned during my time as an assassin.

However I could never defeat the manager with that and even if I did win I would not be satisfied…

So I started training in swordsmanship with the thought of a head-on confrontation and I trained only the basic swordsmanship that all citizens know which is the only swordsmanship I know.

As someone who knew nothing about advanced swordsmanship taught by a prestigious knightly family it was an inevitable choice.

I don’t have anyone who can teach me…

···It seems like the manager would be willing to teach me but I never did that…

I felt like I was begging and I never wanted to be that nobleman’s disciple…

Therefore…

“Hey let’s spar with me.”

“You’re saying I did something wrong!”

“That’s it let’s go…”

“Damn it!!”

Fortunately where I am the Knights…

There were many elite swordsmen who had mastered advanced swordsmanship and I sparred with them several times a day learning their swordsmanship by eye and making up for what I was lacking…

Most of the time I won because of my physical ability but there were quite a few really cool guys in the Knights and there were times when I lost to those guys.

It was a defeat based solely on swordsmanship and rather than being humiliating it was only welcome since those guys had a lot to take from them.

Days filled with sparring like that…

Whenever I see some level of success I consistently…

Kwaaaaang!

“You’re still no good to me…”

“Queuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!”

I attacked the leader…

Rather than attacking me it felt like the manager was willing to look at my antics but instead of viewing it as humiliation I only built up a will to win.

So I fought fought fought and fought again and again and as a result I achieved 100 defeats.

We fought a hundred times and ended up breaking a hundred times.

“···A man who is not human…”

“Did you think the Auror user was the name of someone’s dog? “If you give it a try you too can become an Auror user.”

“…I’m going crazy…”

Auror user·

Those who became superhumans in human bodies…

Aurors are people who wield mysterious powers. Among those who have received systematic yet crazy training since childhood they are able to reach a level that they can barely reach by defeating all those who are called geniuses.

And it is common knowledge on the continent that only Aurors can be dealt with.

That’s why Auror users are monsters in human form…

And the guy I had to beat was one of the only three ‘real’ Auror users in the kingdom.

At this level it is a point of human despair…

Because I can’t see any way to win…

Sereung·

“Are you trying to attack me again?”

“They say there is no tree that cannot be felled by taking ten shots.”

“I don’t think it will work on me…”

“···Then let’s take a picture a thousand times.”

“That sounds really fun…”

bang!
