chapter 1
1 – From the weakest to the best
In my previous life, I was an idiot.
Crazy idiot for women.
Cynthia, her first swordsmanship teacher, had a pretty face, so she chose Cynthia, rejecting her excellent swordsmanship.
I was happy just to see Cynthia’s face.
Light blue hair like the sky, cold and haughty impression. She was a woman who, like a swordsman, had an excellent body and stimulated men’s desires.
Cynthia, who spread her long sharp sword gracefully, was truly beautiful, and I wanted to have it. She wasn’t interested in her swordsmanship.
Cynthia Innin Gramberge.
She is the second daughter of the famous swordsmanship writer Gramberge Hu. At the age of 21, she was a gifted person who had honed the secret swordsmanship of Gramberge to 5 stars.
Her life was full of only swordsmanship, and she absolutely hated caring about anything other than swordsmanship. I would have approached like a bug, not even looking at her black eyes, but only looking at her own face.
Calling me into her office, Cynthia warned me with her cold face.
“You have no talent for swordsmanship, and you have no interest in swordsmanship. It’s the worst, Evan. You’re out of my class. Never see me again.”
It was unfair. Is it a sin to see it just because it’s pretty?
I admit, of course, that I neglected the lecture. But Cynthia was severe.
Shocked at my young heart, I went looking for other pretty swordsmanship teachers.
All of them were kicked out for similar reasons, but at least it felt good to see their pretty faces.
I graduated from the academy with ambiguous grades.
My classmates joined the good knights and were selected as imperial guards.
I didn’t get accepted because my grades were at the bottom.
I wondered if I was going to be selected for the Baron Knights, but the baron shook his head with a firm expression when he saw my poor swordsmanship.
It was a ruined life.
I shut myself up in the mountains. Money was not enough to live in the city.
Life in the mountains was better than I thought. My mind was not driven by classes or exams, and every day was the same.
It was unfortunate that I didn’t have anything to do with women, but I lost interest because making a living was more important.
Life in the mountains was boring.
As I got used to it, there was nothing to do, so I practiced the sword.
For the first 10 years, I wielded it as I wanted.
The next decade took its own form.
For the next 10 years, I didn’t have to wield a sword anymore.
Another 10 or 20 years, my sword gradually developed.
After a while, I descended the mountain when I thought, “It is finished.”
If you dig one thing for a lifetime, you will want to show it off.
Still, since I’ve been polishing my sword for over half a century, shouldn’t I hit the middle?
I wandered around the empire wondering if there was anyone who could wield a sword.
Fortunately, there were many very good guys who could use the sword.
[5 Major disasters] Threatening the empire.
Witch King, Barbarian Queen, First Dragon, Heretic Nation, Paladin of the End.
All of them were dangerous guys who could destroy the empire.
I heard that the teachers I had a crush on died fighting these guys. To be honest, I didn’t feel much emotion when the teachers I hadn’t seen in decades passed away.
I just wanted to test how strong I became.
The Empire mobilized all its abilities to defeat up to three disasters, but two disasters remained intact.
The Witch King and the Paladin of the End.
I defeated them. It was strong, but it was filthy strong. The Witch King fired the curse like a cannon.
“Where, where does someone like you appear!!”
The Witch King who is cut into 150 equal parts by my sword as if it were unfair.
After slicing it once or twice, it quickly recovered, and after making sashimi, I finally gave up. I was pretty, but dirty pretty, but seeing my body not responding, I realized that women were no longer meaningful to me.
“If I were born again, I would definitely seduce you! Without you, the empire will collapse!!”
That’s not going to happen, the day I will live is not too far away.
I felt out of breath. He was also busy looking for the Paladin of the End. A woman with long red hair covering her entire body in black armor. I discovered that the imperial castle was destroyed and stood there in silence.
Lin de Balmung, Paladin of the End.
He was my last teacher.
Pretty is the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life, but I don’t know what he did to become the last disaster. Since I only live in the mountains, can I know the story outside? The last I saw was an average professor at the academy.
Honestly, humanity was suited to disaster. Of all the teachers I chased after, he was the one I cut off most viciously.
[You are the prosecutor’s shame, Evan. Give me 10 penalty points. Disgusting bastard, I will definitely expel you.]
Lin was holding out a red demerit point card to me and speaking viciously in front of the other kids.
I became an incompetent child at the academy. Bad rumors stuck like a tag and it was hard until graduation.
I wanted to hit you with a knife when we met, but that worked out.
“Do you remember me?”
Rin didn’t react even when I said it. Well, how would you recognize a disciple with gray hair? She was the way she was when she was young.
Rin and I soon confronted each other. We fought day and night for a week. Perhaps because it was the last disaster, Rin fatally wounded me, and Rin was also fatally wounded.
My intestines were flowing, and my consciousness was dizzy. Relying only on the patternless steel sword to support her body, Rin collapsed vomiting her blood.
Still, maybe it was because he dug only one road, and he defeated his master.
A small sense of satisfaction soaked his whole body. Selling a sword by self-taught was not easy. Since I was pioneering my own path, I had constant doubts whether this was the right path.
“I am the strongest…… Right?”
I killed Rin, the best sword demon of the time, so I am the best.
I laughed.
The pain overwhelms me.
I just wanted to prove it.
One regrettable thing is that if we fight again, we can beat Rin without dying…….
I have a point to fix for my swordsmanship.
I want to fix this, but my eyes are heavy. This lingering attachment to my feet like a nasty sea urchin thorn.
I can’t help it.

#Return time.
When I closed my eyes and opened them, I was in a dark classroom.
“Evan.”
In front of my eyes was a slender woman staring at her bouquet with a displeased lower face.
In a neat black suit, a cold wind blows the impression. She is Professor Lin, who was called the Red Dragon because she swung her red long hair and swung her cane.
But what I don’t understand is that Rin must have died at my hand. As the paladin of the end, she fought me to the death, and she met her end in the ruins of the imperial family.
It’s hard to understand that the person who fought until now is still alive.
Now, Rin’s prayers were vastly lacking compared to the Paladin of the End I fought. Just like an ordinary Rin from the past.
“I should have told you clearly, heteros*xual relationships are germs that weaken swordsmanship.”
Rin’s voice rang again.
There is obvious hostility in her voice. If I remember correctly, this was in my freshman year. At this rate, I thought that there would be no women in my life, so I prepared a bouquet. Since there is no girl who doesn’t like flowers, she thought that even the dreaded Professor Lin would be delighted.
Of course, it was a mistake.
Rin’s hand is crumpling a pretty bouquet.
“You seem to think of the academy as a place for dating, not a place for swordsmanship training.”
Did she get whipped at this time?
Lynn dumped her bouquet on her floor and stepped on it with her foot.
It’s happened to me already, but it’s dizzy because it happened again.
Looks like you’ve returned, but you’ve lost heart twice?
The funny thing is that Professor Lee also lives as an old maid for the rest of his life.
I heard it when I was hunting down the Witch King.
“What is that challenging face, ha. Do you want to use violence because your heart is rejected? Know your place!”
The professor yelled at me and threw the [Device].
With the support of the Mage Tower, the academy created a mobile phone-type device that can display the student’s status window. It was a pity that I had to return it when I graduated, but it went well.
I think it’s correct that I’ve returned, but you should be able to know my current level.
“Can’t you feel anything just by looking at your bug-like abilities!”
I haven’t seen it yet, Professor Lin.
I turned on my device and activated my status bar.
This magic device that even scans the soul marked me in detail.
『Name: Evan Innin Grace
Title: Knight of Dawn
Strength : F
Magic Power : EX+
Intelligence: A+
Stamina: F
Agility : F
Attributes: Endurance, Indomitability, Heart of Water, Fighting Spirit, Sublime Will
Physical World: Where all swords sleep (?? Mastery cannot be measured)
Skill Street: Sword of Gaebyeok (0 Star), Steps to Open the Darkness (0 Star)』
It came out better than expected.
Things I couldn’t even see in my previous life. Still, did you catch 2 disasters and give it to me?
Even if he returned, the achievements engraved in his soul did not go anywhere.
For example, magical power is the power of my soul. Apart from that, intelligence is also similar.
It’s because the other parts are garbage. Anyone who sees you will know that you are a wizard.
“I’ve seen it all.”
I gave the device to Rin. The displayed items vary depending on the performance of the device, but the performance was very good, probably because it was Lin’s.
I never thought it would capture my image world.
Rin’s face hardened. As if that’s the end of it.
Yeah, actually, I’m contemplating whether to kill Rin right now. Leaving Rin anyway will make her a future scourge, but putting her away now will help the future of the empire.
The empire will perish in the future.
In the devastated empire, I caught two plagues.
It was just self-satisfaction, and honestly, I don’t think I have the sublime will displayed on the status window.
I want to meet Rin, the paladin of the end, sword to sword again. If we fight again, I think we’ll win more easily.
That regret caught my ankle. Whether the empire perishes or not, the sword is important to me.
A more complete sword.
For this, Rin must become a paladin of the end.
Rin put the device I handed her into her pocket without even looking at it.
“I don’t know what the wind was blowing. Aren’t you here to confess to me?”
“Are you done talking?”
“…… What?”
“I’ll go when I’m done talking.”
She has no interest in Rin, who is not the Paladin of the End. I, who have no muscle strength, can kill Rin with only magic power. That’s as meaningless as hitting a cat on the roadside with a rock.
“Take the penalty and go, Evan! It is a crime of disorderly conduct.”
Rin gives me a yellow card.
She is expelled with 30 penalty points. The yellow card is worth 5 points… How many points have you accumulated so far?
If she is expelled, she will go into the mountains again, but she wants to grow quickly in the academy where she has already returned.
Since she is in the mountains, she lacked many things. Excellent exercise equipment, balanced diet. Comfortable sleep. I need these
I accepted the yellow card and turned around. I’d like to see how many points I’ve accumulated.

Professor Lynn de Balmung, called the Red Dragon by the students, just couldn’t understand Evan’s attitude.
While she was in class, Rin constantly received sticky eyes from Evan.
Her act of gulping her saliva while looking at her own face was more than frightening at her teacher, and contained insatiable lust. The lust of a wild dog who wants to hold a woman in his arms and humiliate her. It was so blatant that Rin couldn’t have known.
Already in the classroom, Evan is a famous incompetent and horny. It’s a problem that many professors don’t even know the subject.
A low-level guy like that even reaches out to himself? Lynn was just offended.
A woman with a cruel temper who immediately cuts off a student with no hope.
As the eldest daughter of Balmunga, who takes care of the secret and dirty work of the empire, it was only natural for her to take care of her “Garbage”.
Lynn pulled out her red penalty card and looked at it.
This time, the reason she dared to fall for Evan’s tricks was to make Evan aware of “Trash” And notify her of expulsion.
But Evan just delivered her bouquet and she coolly disappeared.
Evan, who had always been preying on her body, changed to her nonchalant attitude. Rin, who gave me the yellow penalty card, felt embarrassed.
‘Do you know that I’m going to expel you?’
She hasn’t said yet that she’ll expel her, but if she didn’t notice, she wouldn’t be like Evan.
‘A shrewd fellow.’
Lynn felt that she had been beaten.
