The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1321 "So..." Glenn nodded calmly while sitting on the throne. "You're saying that exhaustion training is that difficult?" He frowned after hearing the Swordsmen's complaints mixed in their report. "Y-Yes, it is." "It wasn't just difficult—we truly felt death!" "Our necks were clearly severed, but when we came to our senses we were alive. Then Light Wind Palace Master's sword comes flying again!" "It's h-hell. Please stop that person!" "It's not training, it's torture! We're not prisoners!" The Swordsmen poured out their grievances to Glenn while sobbing as if they had met their only hope. "Light Wind Palace Master." Glenn nodded slightly then looked at Raon. "How do you conduct that exhaustion training?" He smacked his lips briefly as if his interest was piqued. "It's an application of Soul Sword." Raon bowed his head toward Glenn then stepped forward. "Instead of cutting the opponent's soul with Soul Sword, it's a method of delivering a blow that shakes the soul enough to make them feel death." He clasped his hands together, explaining that it was training that used Soul Sword delicately to let them feel only death without leaving aftereffects. "It's certainly dangerous training, but I'm confident that if they overcome this training, they can advance more than one level both physically and mentally." Raon bent his waist to Glenn, saying it was definitely not torture. "S-Soul Sword?" "What we were hit with was Soul Sword?" "Crazy! I was hit by Soul Sword and I'm still alive!" "It wasn't just torture after all!" "It wasn't torture, it was an opportunity!" "B-But is it possible to use Soul Sword like that?" "He's a monster. That person..." The Swordsmen listened to Raon's explanation and gaped their mouths as if realizing they had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "Ahem!" Glenn cleared his throat as if satisfied with the Swordsmen's reaction of shock at Raon's ability and rolled up his trembling lips. His face had been flushed for a while as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. -Arghhhh! That expression again! As soon as Wrath saw Glenn's expression, he furrowed his brow as if irritated. "By the way." When the Swordsmen's voices died down a little, Glenn cast down a benevolent gaze. "The exhaustion training that Light Wind Palace Master gave you is something even I cannot do. Only Raon Zieghart in this world can do it." He stroked his chin, saying he could kill people with Soul Sword, but couldn't operate it as delicately as Raon. "Even the Head of House can't do it?" "What the hell is that guy really...?" "Now even the words genius or talent can't express it." "I don't even feel envy anymore." The Swordsmen were shocked once more by Glenn's words and trembled their eyes. "Kehehe!" Glenn was so pleased with the Swordsmen's surprised reactions that his face turned red all the way to his neck. -That old geezer... Wrath let out a deep sigh as if truly fed up. -He absolutely never changes! No, now he's gotten worse! The guy gritted his teeth while looking at Glenn who no longer covered his mouth and laughed openly. -He'll probably brag about you even when he's dying! Wrath wrinkled his nose, saying Glenn would probably die saying "Our grandson's Soul Sword keh..." while breathing his last. 'He might...' Raon chuckled and agreed with Wrath's words. Before, he would have told him to stop talking nonsense, but now he too understood why Glenn reacted like that. He was prouder of him than anyone else. "Ahem!" Glenn calmed down the noisy great training ground with a cough and looked at Raon. "Light Wind Palace Master. You took on the position of Head of House in my place—report what you have been doing during that time." He nodded, saying he would listen to the incidents Raon had handled and check his achievements from now on. "Yes..." Raon sighed inaudibly and met Glenn's eyes. 'Even though he already knows everything.' Glenn had said yesterday that he would listen to the events of that time together with everyone when day broke, but in the end he couldn't hold back and listened to his stories in the audience chamber. It was slightly chilling how naturally he acted like he knew nothing while knowing all the circumstances. "First, it starts with Birdnew Village. The villagers were massacred..." Raon told Glenn and the Swordsmen about all the events that had happened, starting with the story of Syria Sullion who massacred Birdnew Village up to the incident of weakening Uriel's power a few days ago. He could have moderately downplayed it, but he explained many parts in detail to boost the Swordsmen's morale in the upcoming war against Eden. "Huh...?" "H-He went straight to Uriel right after catching Sariel?" "How is that possible? He probably barely slept until he lured out Sariel?" "His stamina is insane, and his mental strength is insane too..." "In the end, weakening Uriel and even bringing down the temple connected to the heavenly realm doesn't make sense!" "That's not at the level of Achievement—it's a great achievement!" The Swordsmen had known the general situation, but when they heard the proper details from Raon's mouth, they couldn't close their gaping mouths, saying it didn't make sense. "N-No! Wasn't it just exploration?" Burren trembled his chin as if he had no idea. "A real madman is a madman. To think he'd go and mess up Uriel in that time!" Martha let out a hollow laugh, saying he was an amazing human no matter how many times she looked. "As expected...!" Runaan gave Raon a thumbs up as if he did well. "N-No wonder he seemed stronger..." Dorian trembled his shoulders, saying it was scary now. "Phew, now I really shouldn't mess with him..." Krein hit his own lips, saying he should be careful with his words even behind his back. "Y-Yes! Every single one is no ordinary matter!" Glenn trembled his whole body as if moved by the euphoria that came after a long time. "The Archangels are among the few beings who can threaten us along with Eden after Derus Robert's death. Killing one of them and weakening another is a feat that needs no explanation!" He rolled up his red lips, saying Raon had accumulated tremendous achievements. "I think even if I gave Light Wind Palace Master all the rewards I could give, it wouldn't be enough." Glenn drew a thick smile openly, as if he had no intention of hiding his doting nature anymore. "We agree too!" The Swordsmen nodded as if it wouldn't be strange to give him Zieghart's entire Treasury. "However, Light Wind Palace Master." Glenn raised his finger as if there was still one more thing. "It seems your physical condition isn't normal right now. Don't tell me..." He looked down at Raon while narrowing his eyes as thin as thread. "Did you train the Swordsmen without even recovering from the injuries you received from the Archangels?" Even though Glenn knew all the circumstances, he pretended not to know again and drew in his breath. "Huh...?" "C-Come to think of it, Head of House is right?" "If he clashed with Archangel Sariel and Archangel Uriel, even if he's Light Wind Palace Master, his injuries would be severe, but he trained us immediately after returning!" "W-Why didn't he treat his injuries and..." The Swordsmen realized that Raon had trained them without taking care of himself and swallowed their dry saliva. "Since the war with Eden is not far off..." Glenn smacked his lips briefly. "Even if he's in pain, he probably wanted to endure it and help you grow. Because he'd want to minimize casualties as much as possible." He nodded with a sigh like a skilled storyteller, as if he knew all of Raon's inner thoughts. "Palace Master..." "S-Sorry! We didn't know about such circumstances!" "Palace Master! We will truly serve with utmost loyalty!" "Please train us again! Of course, after Palace Master has fully recovered! Even if we die, we'll receive exhaustion training!" The Swordsmen bit their lips with heated eyes as if they now understood why Raon had pushed them so hard. The emotional ones already had their eyes reddened. "Ahem!" Glenn rolled up the corners of his mouth so they reached his ears, as if pleased with the current situation. -Haaa... Wrath sighed and grabbed his temples as if getting a headache. "..." Raon didn't look at the passionate gazes of the Swordsmen directed at him and squeezed his eyes shut. 'Please stop...' * * * "Grandfather..." Raon entered the audience chamber and sighed while looking at Glenn. "You went too far." He let out a deep sigh, saying the joke was too much today. "Hmm? What was too much?" Glenn slightly narrowed his eyes while looking at him. "None of the achievements you've accomplished were easy. It's natural to praise someone who fought risking their life for the family!" He shook his head firmly, saying it would be better not to quietly pass over achievements that had been accumulated. -This King also agrees with that thinking. Wrath nodded calmly while looking at Glenn. -In the Devildom too, those who achieve something receive appropriate rewards and cheers. No, if anything, it's even more than here. The guy smacked his lips, saying the Devildom was thoroughly merit-based. -Of course, doing it like that doting old geezer isn't great. Wrath clicked his tongue, saying praise done like Glenn's—knowing everything but gathering everyone to do it—wasn't great. 'Is that so?' Raon turned his gaze with a reluctant expression. -Well, the things you have done are certainly not strange to call great feats. Wrath nodded, saying he should acknowledge what needs to be acknowledged. "And isn't it better for others to praise you rather than praising yourself with your own mouth? If you become Head of House, it would be difficult to praise yourself." Glenn smiled brightly, telling him to enjoy it well while he set the stage. His personality seemed to have changed a lot after secluded cultivation. No, he thought this person had been like this originally, but had been wearing a mask as Head of House. "Phew, I understand." Raon sighed and nodded his head. "Right. Is your body okay?" Glenn slightly lowered his chin while looking at the bandages wrapped around Raon's body. "Yes. Federick took good care of me. Though I got scolded for coming too late." Raon said he seemed like he would recover soon and rolled his shoulders. "That's fortunate." Glenn smiled calmly as if he had expected as much. "There's something I'd like to ask Head of House." Raon lowered his wrist that he had been rotating and slightly bent his waist. "How did your current appearance come about?" Glenn's explanation had been too brief, so he couldn't accurately understand what had changed and what had been gained. Especially since the speed of aging was too fast, and his personality seemed to have changed too gently, he was worried. "I still have things I'm curious about regarding you too." Glenn let out a thin smile and nodded his head. "Then shall we sit..." When Raon was about to suggest they have a conversation with Glenn. "Having a conversation while drinking tea is good, but sometimes this sword expresses more than words." Glenn placed his hand on Heavenly Tremor at his waist and rolled up his wrinkled lips. "Today I'd like to have a conversation of swords with my grandson. Your worries too..." Despite his aged appearance, he drew a confident smile and lifted his chin. "Can be resolved."
