The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1440 "Grandfather?" Raon widened his eyes as he looked at Rector who had suddenly arrived. "Isn't that so?" Rector nodded his chin while leaning his back against the old wall. "It doesn't matter how long you stay here. You are my grandson, and I also have ties with the former Head of House." He smacked his lips saying that the Zieghart swordsmen could stay in the Holy Sword Alliance's Holy Ground without any cost. "However, reading the Holy Sword Alliance's swordsmanship texts and searching through records are different matters. It would be the same thing anywhere." Rector shook his head saying that not just the Holy Sword Alliance, but no force anywhere would give all their past records and information to outsiders. "That's probably true. However..." Raon calmly nodded and then turned his gaze to Rector. "Why are you smiling like that?" Unlike his serious words, Rector had a deep smile on his lips. "Hmm, when did I smile." Rector said he wasn't smiling at all while still smiling. "I understand." Raon briefly steadied his breathing and slightly turned his chin. "Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance. I'll accept it." He nodded saying he would accept Rector's proposal. "A-are you serious?" Rector widened his eyes as if he was surprised. He had made the proposal, but his expression showed he hadn't expected it to be accepted so readily. "Yes." Raon calmly looked at the surprised Rector instead. 'This is right.' Rector had spoken mixing half jokes and half seriousness as usual, but honestly he had also been waiting for those words. 'Now the Holy Sword Alliance swordsmen must also move.' Since the Demonic Dragon of Destruction has been revived, the Holy Sword Alliance can no longer just hide here. Even if they are seekers pursuing the path of the sword, they wouldn't wish for the world's destruction. 'I must unite the Holy Sword Alliance and Zieghart as one.' The Holy Sword Alliance and Zieghart are among the top forces on the continent in terms of martial strength. Especially since both use swords, if the two forces united as one, their power would more than double. 'It would be especially effective for training.' If the Holy Sword Alliance's swordsmanship and Zieghart's swordsmanship intertwined and built upon each other, it would be much easier for swordsmen to surpass their walls. It was a path where both Zieghart and the Holy Sword Alliance could become stronger. "What should I do?" Raon nodded once again telling Rector he would accept the position of Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance. "Nephew. No, Head of House..." Balder blinked his eyes as if asking whether he would really become the Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance and raised his body. "For Zieghart's Head of House to take on another position is unheard of..." "Stop." Karoon raised his hand and blocked Balder. "Why are you stopping me! You also think it's strange, brother!" Balder frowned as if asking whether it was really okay. "It's the path the Head of House has chosen." Karoon nodded gravely, as if to say that once he decided on a head of house, he would follow them to the end. "Huh..." Balder blinked at Karoon and then sat back down. "I stepped forward first on purpose because I was worried you might get angry at the Head of House, but this is surprising." He tilted his head saying that Karoon had really changed a lot. "I have to change. Just like the Head of House does." Karoon shook his head as if it was nothing, then slightly bowed his head to Raon. "......" Raon returned the greeting to Karoon who was looking at him. "The atmosphere is somehow good!" Alice grinned saying that Zieghart had finally become like a family. "This day has finally come!" Rector looked at the sky and lightly clenched his fist. "Good! I'll prepare the succession ceremony right away!" He nodded vigorously saying he would hand over the position of Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance right now. "But how is the succession ceremony conducted?" Raon slightly lowered his chin. Because of the Holy Sword Alliance's name, it didn't seem like they would simply hand over the position. "Originally, you must duel and defeat the former Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance. The Holy Sword Alliance is a group that worships martial arts and reveres the sword as sacred. Only the strong can lead Sword Fanatics." Rector grinned saying he must defeat the former Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance with the sword. "However, there's no need for that now. I didn't take the position by fighting the former Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance either." He shook his head saying that now he could just hand it over directly. "No." Raon calmly shook his head. "It would be better to conduct the succession ceremony as originally intended." "What...?" Rector blinked as if asking what he meant. "A succession ceremony where I defeat the former Leader of the Holy Sword Alliance and seize the position myself." Raon exhaled a low breath and gripped Heavenly Drive's sword hilt. "If not that way, the Holy Sword Alliance swordsmen won't properly follow me." It was true that he had friendships with the Holy Sword Alliance swordsmen including Lawrence. But being friendly and following are different things. He would need to show overwhelming martial prowess as a master of the sword to move their hearts as well. "Huh..." Rector blinked vacantly as if he hadn't thought that far. "As expected of our nephew. No, Head of House!" Balder nodded vigorously saying it was befitting of a Zieghart swordsman. "If you think about it, it's taking over forces? This is a pirate's way? I like it!" Alice also clenched her fist as if she liked it. "Hmm." Karoon also slightly curved his lips as if Raon's method was good. "Heh heh heh." Roenn looked at Raon and let out a hearty laugh. "It reminds me of the old days." He reddened his eyes as if remembering young Glenn Zieghart through Raon. "Indeed. Those times were really fun." Sheryl also grinned as if those times came to mind. "We went around saying the North was too small." She looked at her feet saying she ran around so much that she had to change shoes every two days. "It's not just me doing this." Raon firmly shook his head. "I think it would be good to hold duels between Zieghart and Holy Sword Alliance swordsmen before the succession ceremony." To unite Zieghart and the Holy Sword Alliance as one, he alone shouldn't stand above. Since both sides were swordsmen, if he let them communicate through swords, they would surely grow closer. "Full-scale duels? Ha, he's my grandson, but he's really scary..." Rector rubbed his temples as if he had a headache. He had made the proposal half-jokingly, but he hadn't expected him to come back with such a complete plan, so he seemed to have a headache. "Understood. I'll prepare the duels. However, some time is needed. I, you, and the swordsmen all need to recover." Rector waved his hand saying to proceed with the succession ceremony after their bodies had recovered even a little. "I understand. However..." Raon looked not at Rector but at the mountain behind the conference room and calmly shook his head. "My first opponent is not you, Grandfather." "Huh?" Rector couldn't understand Raon's words and blinked vacantly. "Th-then?" "My first opponent is the Dark Night Sword God Darkan, who didn't properly hand over the succession to you, Grandfather." Raon nodded saying he would fight Darkan first before fighting Rector to properly inherit the Holy Sword Alliance. "I'll fight you after that, Grandfather." "D-Darkan?" Rector swallowed dryly and frowned. "Darkan is one of the absolutes who competed with your grandfather Glenn Zieghart and the Heavenly Demon. Even if it's you..." He exhaled a low breath saying that even if it was Raon, he couldn't defeat Darkan right now. "Hmm..." "Darkan would be difficult..." "That's right. It wasn't ordinary Sword Aura." "Even if his mind is broken now, his level is too high." The other executives also shook their heads as if Raon couldn't defeat Darkan right now. "I can win." Raon looked directly at Rector and answered calmly. "No, I will win." His enemies were not Darkan or Rector, but Derus Robert and the Demonic Dragon of Destruction. He had resolved not to lose to anyone until he killed those two. "As the Head of House of Zieghart and the Alliance leader of the Holy Sword Alliance." * * * "Shadow Agents' Leader." At Raon's call, Shadow Agents' Leader Chad, who was leaving the conference room, hurriedly turned around and ran back. "Yes! Head of House!" Chad spoke the word "Head of House" more naturally than anyone, as if he had been waiting for a long time to call Raon by that title. "It will be difficult, but please find information about the Demonic Dragon of Destruction even if you have to turn over all of the Holy Sword Alliance's materials." Raon nodded heavily asking him to find materials about the Demonic Dragon of Destruction. "Don't worry! I'll search through even the toilet paper in the bathroom! But..." Chad looked at Raon and slightly narrowed his eyes. "Are there really materials about the Demonic Dragon of Destruction here?" He smacked his lips saying that while he would search, it seemed like only information about swords would come out. "There will be." Raon lowered his chin with confidence. "No, there definitely is." He realized it just now. The Holy Sword Alliance's Holy Ground was a place created by the First Patriarch of Zieghart to stop the Demonic Dragon of Destruction. If there is swordsmanship to block the energy of destruction, there would naturally be information about the Demonic Dragon of Destruction as well. "And..." Raon lowered his voice as he recalled the sinister feeling he had sensed from Derus Robert's soul. "Please also find information about the monster whose eyes have black and white reversed." "Reversal of black and white..." Chad repeated those words several times as if he would definitely remember them. "Understood! Please trust me!" He said to trust him and the Shadow Agents, then ran out of the conference room. -Black and white? Do you think that guy is connected to Derus Robert? Wrath tilted his head as if curious. 'The possibility is high. It could even be him himself.' Though not certain, the being called Anima, who seemed to be a subordinate of the Demonic Dragon of Destruction, felt like the same person as Derus Robert. -The war hasn't been over for long, yet everyone is busy. Wrath sighed saying there was no time to rest at all. -So, what will you do? 'That's already decided.' After leaving the conference room, Raon looked at the Holy Sword Alliance's group training ground at the bottom of the mountain. 'Training.' -As expected, that's it. 'However, it's not just me doing this. To the Holy Sword Alliance and Zieghart executives as well...' He steadied his breathing and drew a sinister smile. 'I need to teach them what training really is.' * * * The next day. Raon entered the Holy Sword Alliance's training ground. Inside, the executives of Zieghart and the Holy Sword Alliance were standing in lines. Since there was no platform, he went to the very front of the training ground and looked at the swordsmen who were forming ranks. "I am Raon Zieghart." Raon briefly introduced himself and raised his gaze. "As you heard yesterday, we're starting executive training from today." He declared firmly that they would train, as if he wouldn't listen to any objections. "First, starting from the basics..." It was the moment Raon mentioned the word 'basics'. "Hey! Nephew. No, Head of House! With all our experience, why are we starting from the basics!" It was Balder. He waved his hands saying they should start from advanced training, not basics. "Hmm..." "Honestly, we're not at a level where we need to do basics." "That's true." "It's a waste of time to do basics." The other executives seemed to have the same thoughts, and no one stopped Balder. "Really?" Raon looked at Balder and the other executives and twisted his lips upward. "Good. Then we'll go straight to advanced training." At his smile, the Light Wind Palace swordsmen who had been waiting behind simultaneously felt chilling goosebumps rising. "Su-surely not..." "It can't be, right? It won't be!" "From the beginning, what..." Martha, Krein, and Dorian shook their heads vigorously to avoid thinking of the training name that came to mind. "I think it's going to be that..." "Sigh..." Burren and Runaan already seemed to have given up and lowered their heads deeply. "We'll start with a training that the Light Wind Palace swordsmen did often. Its name is..." Raon declared fiercely with a murderous glint in his eyes. "Focus enhancement training." The Light Wind Palace swordsmen who heard his low voice all chanted simultaneously. "We're dead..."
