Chapter 73
-Chaeng! CheongGaaang!
The sound of a sword crashing continued to reverberate in the open space behind the farm, now used as a training ground.
Dang!
I managed to strike back at Alfred's attack.
"Gasp Gasp"
"Senior, you've improved a lot."
"Gasp, You didn't sweat a single drop, and you are saying that, Wow, isn't that kind of compliment, a little too pretentious?"
"No, it's true. The number of times you roll on the ground has also decreased considerably."
"Can we really call that an improvement?"
"Now that you're breathing has normalised.? Lets begin Round two."
"Ugh!"
Chaeng!
Swordplay class, which was conducted with wooden swords is now being conducted with real swords.
At first, I struggled with the weight and that heavy shock that came with the collision of the swords, which was incomparable to the wooden sword, but now I am adjusting to some extent.
"Senior, there's no effect if you just focus on defense like this. As I've always said Attack and defense must come out in unison to have maximum effect.
Oh! That's easy to say.
I shouted with frustration.
In a situation where I was out of breath, I was limited to preventing Alfred's sharp attack.
I have already felt how dangerous it is, by my experience of rolling in the ground hundreds of times.
In the midst of a hectic attack, I found a small gap in Alfreds attack for a moment.
I overcame my fear and boldly stabbed the sword through the gap.
But my attack went to naught as Alfred smacked the side of my sword.
At the same time, I lost my sword held in my hand in shock.
"Ugh!"
I groaned with pain that came with the shock of collision, while my whole hand and wrist throbbed.
Thanks to the tapping on the wrist, I could prevent the big pain.
Completely exhausted, I stretched out on the spot.
Ah! I can't do this anymore!
Hahaha. Great work, senior. The last one was especially good. Well it's a gap that I made for you."
"Ah, what!."
"Just being able to see the gap correctly shows that youve grown up from just swinging a sword pointlessly.
As Alfred said, my sword skills have improved a lot.
Honestly, I didn't think I could learn to use the sword this much.
Certainly, the confrontation with a talented person seemed to have helped me improve my skills.
Alfred picked up the sword that fell to the ground and began to carefully wipe away the dirt and dust.
The sword I used for training was also his spare sword.
When I rose from the ground, Alfred thrust his sword into the sheath and extended it towards me.

Here you go Senior.
Uh, what, more training? My body cant take it anymore.
Hahaha. No. I heard you're taking an important test soon. You don't have a sword yet. Right? Take this."
Alfred seemed to lend me his sword for the guild test.
"Is it really all right for you to give this to me.?"
I couldn't take it easily because I knew how much Alfred adored his swords.
"It's a spare sword anyway, and I'm lending it to you for a while, so it doesn't matter. If it's not your usual sword, you might feel uncomfortable."
"Alfred You."
I looked at Alfred with a moving look.
He seemed shy, so he deliberately spat out mean things for no reason.
"I'm lending it to you because I don't want you to make excuses later. If your skills are not good, you should atleast have good equipment."
"You punk. Are you turning into a Tsundere like the Boss?"
"Oh Senior! What are you doing?"
With a playful smile, I messed up Alfred's hair.
Alfred began to flee in a panic.
Later, until Lia came to call us for tea time, we ran around the training ground as if we were playing tag.
A leisurely afternoon tea time
I washed my whole body, which became sweaty due to the sword training, and sat down with the farm members.
Warm tea made by Lia and Tiramisu, which was given as a gift by Yerin, was served as snacks.
Speranza glistened her eyes looking at the beautifully wrapped piece of cake.
"Papa, what's this?"
"It's called Tiramisu."
"Tirami..soo? Ti..rumiisu?"
Speranza muttered Tiramisu as if she was babbling since it seemed too hard to pronounce for her.
I Carefully opened the package, scoop up a small piece with a fork and put it in Speranza's mouth.
As soon as she tasted the piece of Tiramisu, Speranzas ears stood up and her tail wagged gently.
I didn't have to ask if it was delicious.
The other farm members also seemed to like Tiramisu.
In particular, Lia was completely immersed in the sweetness and deep bitter taste.
When I was sharing a bite of Tiramisu that Speranza scooped for me affectionately, Kaneff asked.
"Sihyeon, that What was it?Are you preparing well for the guild exam?"
"Yes, I think it'll work out well since I have a friend over there who helped me a lot."
Yerin has been helping me passionately since I freed Camie.
Thanks to this, I thought I could take the practical test without any difficulties.
Hmmm, I see?
..?
Kaneff looked slightly displeased.
When I looked puzzled at Kaneffs reaction, Andras explained with a small smile.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Kaneff must be in a bad mood because hes worried that you might quit once you get a job in the other world."
"Uh Really?
I looked at Kaneff with a surprised look.
Kaneff nodded at my question and distorted his face slightly.
"When I was a leader, I lost a lot of my men for one reason or another. of course, for those guys who tried to betray me, I Kicked their a."
Kaneff tried to say the word, but for a moment he looked at Speranza and refined his words properly.
Andras nodded and sympathized with him.
"In short, it felt really bad when my colleagues left me like that."
"Are you worried that I might leave here and go.?"
"I know.Sihyeon is from the other world, so you'd be more comfortable there than herebut."
Lia and Alfred also showed similar expressions.
Come to think of it, its possible to think like that .
Obviously, since I'm not from this world, they might have thought I might leave this place if I had a steady income in my world.
"Don't worry about that. I've got so much help from Demon farm. I'm not going to throw it away and leave. Everyone in the Demon farm is a part of my family. Families always be togetherright Speranza darling.?"
Yes Papa. Family always together.
Speranza replied with a smile, and a lot of Tiramisu on her mouth.
How can I leave my cute fox girl behind?
My honest answer put a relieved look on everyone's face.
"But I'm a little disappointed. Everyone here thought of me as an opportunist guy. I guess you guys didn't trust me."
When I said I was disappointed, everyone's face turned pale.
While I was enjoying their expressions, suddenly Speranza pulled my clothes.
Papa.
Huh? What darling.?
I trust Papa the most in the world.
Speranza confessed with an innocent smile.
As soon as I saw it, all the sadness in my heart disappeared.
"Thank you! I trust my little girl the most in the world."
"Hehe."
I couldn't control my overwhelming emotions and hugged Speranza tightly.
"Hmm Senior, I've been counting on you. Thats why I lent you my favorite sword today."
"Sihyeon, I never said anything. I always knew that Sihyeon would never betray me."
Alfred defended himself, referring to the fact that he lent me his sword, while Lia insisted on her innocence, saying that she didnt say anything.
In the first place, Lia's mind was preoccupied with Tiramisu and she didn't say anything
The faces of the other two Demons became distorted .
It was Andras who quickly opened his mouth amid the bad atmosphere.
"Well, Mr. Kaneff, you're so mean. Sihyeon has been so nice to us and I can't believe that you thought he would betray us. I'm so disappointed in you Mr. Kaneff."
"You You You You"
Kanef stammered with an expression that looked like he had been hit by an unexpected blow in the back of his head.
"Sihyeon, don't be too disheartened . It's because Mr. Kaneff had so many rough experiences."
"Yes, I will. But Andras?"
"?"
"I think Andras will be having some rough experience now"
"?!"
Kaneff stared at Andras, trembling with anger of betrayal.
"Sihyeon I couldnt tell you properly what I did to those guys who betrayed me. So, now I'll show you what happened to them."
-Cling Clang
Kaneff's chains rushed towards Andras.
Yikes!
The quick-witted Andras sprang to his feet.
He escaped the chains by a hair's breadth.
"You punk! Come here now!"
Why are you doing this to me Mr. Kaneff.?
Don't you know? wait a bit, I will clear your clogged memory."
Kaneff chased after the fleeing Andras.
"Sihyeon, can I have another tiramisu?"
"Of course, go ahead."
"Senior, one more"
"Papa, me too! Me, too."
"Speranza, will you share it with me?"
Seeing the cat and mouse game, the rest of the farm members enjoyed a peaceful tea time.
Finally, the day of the practical exam for Guardians guild has dawned.
I woke up early in the morning and packed breakfast and supplies for the practical test.
I packed my ID card, extra clothes, and toiletries separately, just in case.
I finished checking the basic supplies, and then I checked the important equipment.
Summoners stone given by Yerin and the sword lent by Alfred.
I packed everything in my bag.
After finishing all the preparations, I left home in comfortable clothes.
In front of the building, Yerin parked her car and was waiting for me.
"Oh! It's your big day, so dont be late.
Yerin. Were you waiting?
I just got out too. Put the Luggage in the back and get in."
I loaded the luggage in the trunk, and got into the car.
"I'm sorry. You don't have to give me a ride to the test site
"You don't have to be sorry. I had to go to the examination site anyway."
Huh? What do you mean?"
"Did I not tell you? I'm one of the supervisors for this practical exam."
I looked blank at Yerin, hearing the news that she will be a supervisor.
"Can you do that? An acquaintance of yours is participating in the test?"
"It's OK, it's OK. I'll evaluate it generously."
I nodded disapprovingly at her confident appearance.
"Okay, Buckle up. Its gonna be one heck of a ride."
I felt a strange sense of dj vu hearing Yerins words.
