Turning 6

“Hoo!”

It was an act of forgetting dignity, but no one could blame them. It was such an amazing sight.

Next was water. Yuder changed the energy around the sword. Then the fire melted down and a swirling stream of water wrapped around the entire blade. The sound of a whirlwind reverberated in the room.

Yuder grabbed the sword and swung it a few times before slowly moving forward.

“That is all I will be showing you, and I’m going to prove that it’s real water. Would anyone like to touch it?”

Yuder watched as examiners agonized between curiosity and fear. Everyone was afraid of what they had never seen.

They had seen a Swordmaster covering a sword with aura and an archmage dealing with attribute magic, but when the two were combined, even what they thought they knew, suddenly became unfamiliar to them.

The examiners were all speechless. No one was willing to do so. Yuder waited. Eventually, when he tried to withdraw the sword, the examiner sitting on the far right opened his mouth for the first time. It was the man with a fake face.

“If there is no one, then I shall do it.”

“No, you cannot. Your……!”

At that moment, the deputy commander of the Imperial Knights shouted with a frightened face and immediately shut up.

‘Hmm. I guess my prediction is right.’

The deputy commander seemed to have barely held back his words because he thought he should not let others find out the identity of the rightmost examiner, but it only added confidence to Yuder.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Relax. I am not ‘that’ one.”

The examiner sitting on the far right smiled in a relaxed manner at the one who stopped me.

If anyone other than Yuder were here, they would never have guessed why he seemed the most relaxed out of the rest examiners.

Hearing his words, the deputy commander of the Imperial Knights opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but eventually, he sighed and shook his head.

“Do as you please.”

“I think so. Something interesting came in after a while, isn’t that the case?”

Who would fearlessly touch a sword wrapped in the stream of water and who would stop him? If he didn’t know that one side was the deputy commander of the Imperial Knights, Yuder would ignore it without thinking much. But the meaning was different for those who knew.

The Imperial Knights were mostly composed of high-ranking nobles. Born in an unmanned family that had served the imperial family for generations, it was the best place where only those who practiced hard holding a sword even before holding a spoon could barely come up through difficult tests.

Of course, promotion could only be achieved when one was deemed to have both skills and family influence, meaning that a person who rose to the position of deputy commander of the Imperial Knights was from a family who could at least be a Count.

Who would be the only one they bowed down to and stepped down to? The answer was simple.

They were the royal blood, the royal family, born with the power of light that belonged to the Sun God.

The royal family was all born with a striking appearance, with light-like blond hair and red eyes. The examiner in front of him would have used magic to change his appearance to be ordinary to hide it right away.
