The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman

rried about my body and picked you.”

Raon pointed at the wounds wrapped by bandages.
Since the rumors said he was severely wounded, despite his actual status, it was going to work for sure.

Moreover, Karoon was going to think he could obtain information more easily in the future since his spy became Raon’s personal maid.

“Th-that’s true.
But why are you being so considerate towards me…?”

“It’s not for you.
It’s because it would be a waste for me to lose a double agent like this.”

“Hmm…”

“I’ll give you some good information on top of it.
Everyone thinks I’m severely wounded, but I’ve actually almost finished healing.
I’m planning to train in the annex building, while pretending to recover.”

Raon gave Judiel the information about his injury without any hesitation.

“Instructor Rimmer and the head of house are the only people that know this fact right now.
He is going to realize you are still useful if you tell him about this.”

“I-indeed.”

Judiel nodded.

“Then, what are you waiting for?”

He pointed at the door.

“Go and write that information on a letter and send it.
You need to manage your expression, or he will find out.”

“U-understood!”

Judiel lowered her head while covering her cheeks with her hands, then left the room.

Everything she says and does is pathetic.
What are you going to do with a useless spy like her?

‘She is going to become the trap to stab Karoon Zieghart in the back.
And…’

Raon murmured on the inside while looking at the almost unrecognizable door in the darkness.

Because she reminds me of my past self.

Raon was mindlessly lying on his bed, but he stood up as soon as the moon reached the top of the sky.

It wasn’t because the promised time had come, but because of the presence outside his window.

“I’m glad you’ve been waiting.”

Roenn greeted him with a smile as he opened the window.

“Of course.
I wouldn’t be sleeping after what you told me.”

Raon went over the window, putting a coat on his shoulders.

“So, what did you mean earlier?”

He opened his mouth, looking at Roenn’s wrinkled eyes.

“How can I know the head of house’s intentions? You will see once you get there.”

“Hmm…”

Raon asked because he wanted to know Glenn’s intention, but Roenn wasn’t easy to deal with.
It was certain that he knew the answer, but he wasn’t telling.

He went to the lord’s manor while chatting with Roenn.
Curiously, the presence of the swordsmen standing guard in the area were gone.

‘No one is here.’

Following Roenn, he entered the lord’s manor without meeting anyone.
Even the maids, servants, and swordsmen guarding inside the lord’s manor were nowhere to be found.

It seemed Roenn had ordered the place to be cleared out beforehand.

“Hmm…”

Raon’s heart pounded, feeling anxious and nervous in such an unknown situation.

“You don’t need to be so nervous, young master.
What you did was a great accomplishment, one you can be proud of.”

He opened the door to the audience chamber while saying that.
The light poured out from the inside as the enormous door opened.

Raon followed Roenn and entered the audience chamber.
Glenn Zieghart, who was sitting on the throne like a statue, opened his eyes.

‘Haa…’

That was enough to fill the entire audience chamber with nervousness once again.

“Greeting my lord.”

“You don’t need to.”

As Raon was about to kneel and bow, his body froze as if he was petrified.

‘This energy…’

That wasn’t what he was trying to do.
Glenn had single handedly stopped his movement with his voice.

‘Seriously…’

Raon shuddered at his level of martial art and raised his head.

 

Tap.

 

Glenn removed the hand supporting his chin, looking down on Raon.

“Raon Zieghart.”

“Yes, my lord.”

He lowered his head with a trembling throat.

“What do you think about footwork?”

‘Let’s see, footwork.’

Footwork was the way of walking.

Footwork was the technique that created the most efficient way of moving in all situations: attack, defense, or even evasion and escape.

“I think it’s the most efficient martial art, one that decides a warrior’s life or death.”

“Hmm.”

Glenn nodded slightly, to a point where it was almost unnoticeable.
Maybe he was pleased with the answer, or maybe he wasn’t.
Raon couldn’t tell.

“What footwork did you use upon fighting against the Green War Demon and the Blood Raving Demon?”

“I used the River Footwork.”

Raon had also used the Shadowless Steps on top of the River Footwork, but he didn’t mention it.

“River Footwork is a great technique that can still be used after you get stronger, but its forms are too simple.”

He was right.

River Footwork was excellent footwork for sure, but it only had the basic forms.

On the other hand, the ‘Shadowless Steps’ was a footwork focused on evasion and stealth, even more unsuitable for use than River Footwork in situations other than assassination.

He had planned to ask for a new footwork with the extra tablet he should’ve received, but the plan had gone completely awry.

“Raon.”

When he was licking his lip in frustration, Glenn called his name once again.

“I rewarded you with a silver tablet at noon for killing the Green War Demon and holding your ground against the Blood Raving Demon.
However, I didn’t give you anything for finding out their objective.”

Raon unconsciously gulped, since he could anticipate what he was going to say next.

“I’ll teach you suitable footwork as a reward for discovering Eden’s objective.”

Glenn stood from the throne.
It felt like the highest mountain in the continent, the Erlast Mountain, had surged up in front of his eyes.

He walked down the platform and extended his right foot to the front, then his left front to the back.
His pressure was as proud as a noble and as tough as a general on the battlefield.

“Watch closely, since I’m only going to show you once.”
