I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill

Chapter 72.1: Short Break (2)

Chapter 72.1: Short Break (2)

Reef and Rigon were looking for something to do while staying in the castle.

I thought it was unavoidable given their situation, but it was especially severe for Reef.

According to the butler’s report, she asked a maid if she could do chores or anything, whatever that she could do.

“It seemed to me that she was very anxious because of her brother.”

Gulpiro clicked his tongue and said.

“She always asks me if her brother’s light blood disease has been completely cured, almost obsessively.”

“Hmm···”

“I think she wants to stay with the Seventh Lord because she thinks that the disease may break out at any time.”

Was that so?

With the death of the Tyrant, the light blood disease that Rigon was suffering from had completely disappeared. There was no way it would appear again.

I had already explained it to her enough, but it still didn’t seem to completely erase her anxiety.

Even if she could understand it with her head and reason, it would be an anxiety that was close to the realm of obsessive compulsiveness, as Gulpiro said.

She had been living like that for the past few years, so it’s not that she didn’t understand.

I haven’t really thought about what I should do to the two of them.

That was natural. Because I didn’t save them for any particular purpose.

Of course, I had no intention of expelling them, like what Reef was concerned about.

Rather, I knew Rigon was the future flesh-headed Refrigon, so I wanted to keep him by my side for as long as possible.

And it was a good thing that they seemed to feel the same…

Should I help them grow properly?

There was no doubt that both of them were talented.

Reef had grown from an ordinary person to level 40 in just a few years. Needless to say, she was a genius.

And especially for Rigon…

He became a Lord of Calderic within five years from now.

Judging from the memories that flashed in my mind that time, the Overlord said he made a contract with the demons, so he was most likely using demonic powers then.

But even considering that, it was an abnormal growth that far exceeded common sense.

He had become a strongman at the same level as a Lord in just a few years from his current mediocre level.

“Is Rigon fully recovered now?”

“Yes.”

His body was in disrepair from suffering from light blood disease for several years, but he recovered quickly thanks to Gulpiro.

As the alchemist said, I only needed to procure the ingredients for the potion and he would do the rest.

Anyway, it would be a waste to just leave such talented gemstones alone.

Doing nothing and staying in the castle all the time seemed to make them uncomfortable, too.

The next day, I immediately called the siblings and Asher.

“Gulpiro will leave the castle soon. Do you two want to stay here?”

When I asked the siblings, Reef hesitated and then nodded.

“Yes, I’m sorry, but if you give me permission, I’ll do anything you want me to do, my lord.”

I nodded and shifted my gaze to Asher.

“Asher.”

“Yes.”

“Teach these two swordsmanship.”

That surprised both Asher and Reef.

“Do you mean teach them?”

“Yeah. Maybe you don’t like it?”

“No. It’s not like that, but…”

Asher looked at the two of them.

The request to teach swordsmanship seemed quite embarrassing to Asher.

There were plenty of knights in the castle, but the strongest among them was, of course, Asher.

So, if possible, I was trying to make her do it…

“What do you think?”

I shifted my gaze to the siblings and asked.

Rigon answered with a look of enthusiasm.

“Of course it’s great! Just teach me, and I’ll do my best to learn!”

Reef said cautiously.

“Thank you, but we are only receiving too many undeserved graces.”

I shook my head.

“It’s not just giving. If possible, wouldn’t it be better to learn swordsmanship properly and remain in the castle as a knight?”

“···Yes?”

At that, Reef gave a slightly bewildered expression.

“Anyway, if you both want to learn, study hard. Asher is the strongest warrior here in my territory.”

At my compliment, Asher said with a little embarrassment.

“I’ve taught no one before, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it well…”

“It’s okay. Just try it first.”

If it didn’t work, then I could ask the other swordsman instructors in the castle to do it.

As such, the lesson of Asher began right before my eyes. I stood on one side and watched the scene.

First, Asher put the two of them side by side and put her hands on their backs, starting with Reef.

When I saw the flow of magic that I felt with my super sensory, it looked like it was flowing inside.

I knew nothing about magic training, so I was just guessing if she was trying to figure out the level of the two.

After taking her hands off Reef’s back, Asher asked with a surprised face.

“…You said that it’s been about three years since you learned to practice?”

“Yes.”

“You have accumulated this amount of magical power stably in such a short time.”

As expected, Reef’s talent was outstanding.

Next, Asher placed her hand on Rigon’s back and let out magic. Then she opened her mouth right away.

“The magic path has already been opened. Have you ever learned to practice before?”

“Oh, yes. Before getting sick, swordsmanship and magic little by little…”

I tilted my head at that.

Has he already learned?

I thought it wasn’t because there was no magical power that I could feel from Rigon.

But if he had magical powers, but I wondered how he suffered from light blood disease. Was it because the accumulated magic power was too weak?

“Sir Asher.”

Rigon suddenly called out to Asher.

“The magic that is flowing through my body. Can I just move it like this? I thought I could do it.”

“···Uh?”

Then he closed his eyes and furrowed his brows with a focused face.

At this, Asher’s expression showed wonder, and soon it turned into astonishment.

“···!”
