The Heavenly Demon Can'T Live A Normal Life
Ch 12 - Ki and Mana (1)

Final attack.

Although it only lasted for a moment, Jonathan clearly saw how Roman counterattacked.

"No way."

It's just one step.

Moreover, that place was the only safe place.

If he stepped back, he would be hit by a wooden sword shrouded in aura, and even if he moved sideways, he would not be able to escape the range of the attack.

Aura is explosive power.

The Aura eruption was devoted to the instantaneous force, and the farther the distance traveled, the more power would be transmitted. This fact made it even more unprofitable to try and block it.

Of course, he thought the attack would be dangerous for Roman who was just an ordinary person. However, the scene unfolding before him was much more different than his expectations.

He destroys the possibility of Chris' attack being unleashed entirely.

Just taking one step prevented his opponent from unleashing his strength completely, and with a slight twist of his body, he boldly dodged the attack right before his eyes.

That's very dangerous.

However, even in a situation where his face might be shattered, Roman managed to subdue Chris while maintaining an unshakable posture.

That's astounding.

That's really unbelievable.

Jonathan could not accept the reality that lay right before him.

'...I didn't know anything about Young Master Roman all this time.'

Roman fool.

Since he personally taught her, he knew Roman was someone who had no talent. Therefore, she felt bad and gave up on him without even trying.

However, the Romans who were in front of him were now different.

Roman not only had the temperament of an unyielding fighter, even his basic skills as a swordsman were excellent and sharp.

A counterattack that knocked down an opponent in such a short period of time could never be compared to a stroke of luck.

The person should have excellent basics and the ability to quickly realize their thoughts to succeed in battle this fast.

A solid defense.

An attack that flows naturally like water.

Jonatan became convinced.

Roman skills were not something that could be realized with training for a year or two. It is clear that more time has been spent on training than just a few years.

'When did he grow up like this?'

Jonathan recalled the incident a month ago.

In fact, even then, I only saw Roman roaming the streets when he was drunk.

He clearly remembered how pitiful he was.

His fame as Dmitry's Fool gets worse when he sees him singing loudly.

In Jonathan's memory, Roman is nothing more than a pitiful human being.

But now, starting with the Blood Fang incident, even Chris, an aura knight, had been defeated.

That was.

Baron Romero, who was watching the duel with Jonathan, said with a puzzled expression.

"Catria Commander, Jonathan."

"Okay, my lord."

“What just happened? How did Roman beat Chris? Wasn't the vice commander a 2-star aura knight that Dmitry was proud of?”

To be honest, he felt the same way as her.

Baron Romero needed an explanation for the incredible scenery that was happening before him.

He wanted to hear directly from Jonathan how his son grew so fast.

There was a momentary doubt.

Later, Jonathan looked at Roman and Baron Romero alternately with complicated eyes and finally gave the most plausible answer after much thought.

“... It seems like Young Master Roman is a genius in swordsmanship.”

Roman caught his breath.

Her cheeks felt sore.

He saw blood dripping from the thin wound as he raised his hand to touch the sore area.

'Pathetic.'

Chris.

He's not too bad.

He knew how to push his opponent aggressively, and his eyes read quite sharp battle grooves.

However, problem.

'He's not bad just by the standards of this world.'

He knew how powerful he was because he had dealt with Blood Fang's crew, including Ben Miles.

If it was Chris, he could annihilate dozens of them with his skills.

He seems to be the strongest of all people, excluding Jonathan, whom Roman meets in this world.

But, what about Baek Joong-hyuk's standards?

Worst.

Even if he were to choose the lowest warrior of the Celestial Demon Cult, they would be much stronger than Chris.

The aura eruption was ultimately somewhat threatening, but careless compared to the techniques used in Murim.

'In the end, it was a pretty sloppy burst of energy. It's similar to Ki, but I don't understand why he uses it that way. I think that's what power Hans was talking about. However, this world used it in a much different way than Murim did.'

I'm curious.

Let's take a look.

I want to find out about that

In order to survive in the world, the Romans needed to know exactly what kind of power their opponents would use.

However, at that time.

"Ha ha ha."

Baron Romero's laughter sounded.

He was thrilled after hearing his son was a swordsmanship genius who was none other than the Knight Commander, Jonathan.

"Yes God. Hearing that my eldest son is a genius in swordsmanship. Commander Jonathan, are you really sure of that?”

"Okay, my lord. No other reason could explain the growth of Young Master Roman. Meanwhile, it seems like I haven't been able to recognize the true skill of Young Master Roman due to my lacking ability. Young Master Roman, without a doubt, is a genius.”

"Is that so? I can't believe my son is truly a genius.”

His face suddenly brightened.

Baron Romero looked at Roman proudly and gestured him to come closer.

"Son."

"Yes, dad."

“I have never been in a better mood than today. I'm so proud of you. Even the Knight Commander admitted it, I wanted to praise the fact that my son, Roman, achieved something on his own, and not because he was a genius in swordsmanship. If there's anything you want, let me know now. The prize must be given. For the sake of my special child, I will prepare a special gift for you.”

That's a direct request.

Baron Romero seemed surprised by the pretty specific proposal.

"…Huh."

Duty of military service.

It was a bitter reality just by thinking about it.

Since Dmitry's estate belonged to the Cairo kingdom, he had no choice but to share the dangers the kingdom faced as well.

That is an inevitable reality.

Married nobles may be temporarily released from military service, but Roman's view of avoiding military service suddenly changes.

Still, Romero wanted to believe in his son who had changed.

In Roman's life, all he can do as a father is help him soar.

"I understand. I'll give you full authority for matters relating to military service.”

“Also, I have one last request.”

Was it because her expectations were previously low?

Faith Baron Romero blind.

Roman smiled lightly and looked at Chris who was lying on the floor.

“I want to learn aura in the future. So, for private tutoring, please assign the swordsman I dueled.”

This new world.

Now is the time to get to know the world better.

...----------------...

How long has the time passed?

Kris opened his eyes.

As the blue sky fluttered her eyes, she cried without even realizing it.

"Wow, this is really embarrassing."

Beat.

That's an uncomfortable reality.

The fact that he was defeated by none other than Dmitry's Fool made him want to hide his face even in the rat hole.

But what can I do?

It's reality.

The fact that he was defeated by Roman will never change.

After he woke up, he saw his own reflection in the mirror. He looks pathetic.

He was often called handsome, but now he could only see a fool with two missing front teeth in the mirror.

This was a worse situation than any normal defeat. He hurriedly found his broken tooth, but there was no way to put it back in place.

“... Should I just die?”

It was a very worrying moment.

The problem doesn't end with just that.

Although he could not escape the abyss of despair, an order was suddenly given to him, which was as simple as possible.

"What?!"

"I know how you feel. However, this is an order from Lord Dmitry, Chris.”

"Catria Commander"—No. Teacher, this can't be true. I understood that I was somehow defeated by Young Master Roman and became a fool with missing front teeth. But are you saying that I need to teach Young Master Roman about aura? This is unacceptable. Even if my head is blown up as punishment for opposing you and master, I will not accept it.”

He lay flat on the floor.

It was a desperate desire.

He really didn't want to see Roman's face anymore.

He had a bad relationship with her from the start, so losing to Roman felt more embarrassing than anything.

Jonathan said, "Then I'll make you an offer."

“…”

“Go and understand exactly how he changed so much under the pretext of teaching Roman. As long as you handle this matter well, I'll allow you to learn the secret skill that I've been putting off until now.

"…Are you serious?"

"Of course."

"Suckhead."

Chris jumped out of his chair.

Secret skills.

That secret was what made Jonathan a 3-star aura knight.

Chris who always craved his secret skill could not refuse Jonathan's offer.

He spoke in an annoyed voice.

"You can't take this back."

At this time, Chris crossed the river that could not return.

...----------------...

Next day.

Chris meets Roman at the training ground.

But…

Pffts.

Romo just laughed.

For a moment, Chris' eyes twitched, but he managed to hold back his anger.

For some time, the two did not speak at all, only looking at each other's faces, but Roman's stifled smile was evident.

'This fight.'

The wind blows through the place where the two front teeth are supposed to be.

Chris had already regretted accepting the offer, but he knew that in order to achieve his goal, he would have to face the worst.

Calming his boiling anger, Chris said with an indifferent face.

“Now, let me explain about aura.”

Auras.

It was the branch from which and also the power used by the aura knights.

If the mages stored mana in their magic circles, the knights basically spread mana throughout their bodies.

“The inventor of the aura is Emperor Alexander, who is called an omen. Unlike the 1st witch, she was the first to know how to strengthen the human body by spreading mana throughout her body. Aura was a power that instantly unleashed this mana. Mana, which normally spreads throughout the body, is released in an instant as per the wishes of its user, creating a powerful force.”

“…”

Roman's attitude was serious.

He was not offended by Chris' explanation or showing a playful attitude.

When Chris started teaching, Roman showed his serious side. Because of this, his enmity subsided to a certain extent.

“To be honest, it is not important to know the history of the aura. Mana was a power that only the chosen could use; one in a thousand could walk in the path of a knight aura, and one in ten thousand could walk in the path of a magician. Therefore, it is important to check if you have the qualifications first. The minimum requirement for an aura knight was to sense mana. Usually at this stage most people become frustrated. In my case, it took me half a year to sense mana, but in fact, if you only felt mana in a year, you would be considered above average. So, in the end, it mostly depends on talent.”

It was a statement with a little arrogance.

He's pretty proud of himself.

As Jonathan's student, when he sensed mana for the first time in half a year, there was a commotion in Dmitry that a genius had appeared.

Chris.

He is such a man.

However, Roman did not give the reaction he wanted.

“You said 1 year. That means the possibility of becoming or not becoming an aura knight will be decided at that time.”

"That's right. If you don't sense mana in one year, it will be in your best interest to let go of the path of a knight aura.

“Then, can you explain what you did after feeling which one? Can you explain how you experienced it?”

"Of course."

His confidence is a little bit down.

However, it's fine.

Once Roman started which training, the winner would definitely be decided. Whether it's Roman or Chris.

'Even if Young Master Roman is a genius in swordsmanship, mana talent is a different matter. This training will give you a hard sense of reality. And as time passes without feeling any mana, you will realize how great I am. Heh heh heh, thinking about it now, this is by no means a bad offer.'

He's very excited.

In the past, he had seen many people who desperately needed mana training.

Rome is no different.

Chris hides his true thoughts and teaches him how to train mana.

“Mana training method..”

With Chris' teachings, Roman gradually begins to immerse himself in his own world.

...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

1.The body of a mage was usually much weaker than the knight aura. This was because magicians usually kept mana in magic circles, focusing it on one place. However, the knight aura spread it throughout their body, resulting in the body becoming stronger than a normal person
