"Whew-"

The gnoll who had just stepped into the threshold of the young man looked at Rhodes, who was closest to him, for a few seconds, a trace of saliva began to flow from the corner of his mouth and roared angrily, and then he rushed directly with red eyes.

For the gnolls who have been hungry for quite some time and have just stepped into adulthood, the food on the other side that has recently moved alive is a qiē! As for the enemies around you who are far away and dangerous? This is not in its consideration for the time being.

Seeing the gnoll man rushing towards him regardless of it, a smile appeared on the corner of Rod's mouth, and then the one-handed longsword in his right hand was in a position that was most suitable for slashing.

Although the stabbing is the most powerful move in the one-handed longsword (direct decapitation does not count), for an opponent with a strong body and extremely ferocious, there is no shortage of examples of directly piercing the opponent's body with a sword but being ignored by the opponent, and directly sprinting to the front of the fencer with the body card master longsword to fight serious injuries and kill the fencer.

Therefore, in the course of the knight's teaching, it is generally not recommended to use the full stab technique, except in the case of large size or if the enemy is already decimated.

Rod didn't know how the reckless adult gnoll on the other side would react to being impaled with a one-handed sword while starving, but he definitely wouldn't risk trying to play one-hit kill in such a situation.

"Whew-"

When the gnoll rushed in front of him, Rod did not hesitate to charge up a slash and slash directly at the gnoll's neck and left shoulder, and the sound of wielding the long sword with the wind also proved how strong Rod was this time.

The gnoll, who was originally charging towards the food, was unprepared for the oncoming sword, and could barely raise his claws to meet the sword that had been slashed at his vital parts.

"Click-"

"Whew!!"

With a crisp sound of chopping bones, the gnoll, who was suddenly forced to take two steps back by the force of the long sword, couldn't help but let out a miserable howl. The left limb it had just used to fend off the sword had vanished, and a deep bleeding wound was evident on its shoulder from the left shoulder to the right side of its abdomen.

As a strength that also belongs to the lower rank of gray iron, the edge of the one-handed long sword in Rhodes's hand that belongs to the boutique is obviously not something that its flesh and blood can resist, and it is already very good luck for a jackal to not hurt a position such as an artery.

However, Rhodes himself would never mind taking advantage of this opportunity to fall into the well, so he stepped forward directly and then slashed directly at the opponent's abdomen with a one-handed long sword stained with the blood of the jackal!

"Poof—"

In the face of Rod's attack, the gnoll who had just tasted the power tried to retreat and dodge, but the gnoll who did not avoid it in time tried his best to dodge, but still left a bleeding wound on his waist and abdomen - but thankfully, the wound was at most a skin wound, not enough to make the gnoll ineffective.

Rode, who succeeded in the attack, took advantage of the situation and continued to force forward to launch a pursuit of the badly wounded gnoll!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Looking at Rod's table in the school yard, the surrounding audience began to discuss.

Needless to say, Baron Ernst was happy to see Rhodes smiling behind his watch this time, and the Baroness and the two little ones who had just watched with bated breath also clearly saw that their son/brother had the upper hand.

The people of the Barony of Ernst, such as the Knight of Ter, the Knight of Tamon, and the captain of the Barony of the Barony, looked at Rod's watch on the scene and nodded one after another, expressing their admiration for the Ernst family having such an heir.

"What a good table!"

"At this age, he really can be called a genius!"

"It seems that the heirs of the Ernst family have been decided"

Several of the principals of the invited shops and important people in the small town of Taaffeta, the territory, watched the scene of Rhodes chasing the gnolls and began to whisper on the edge of the school yard.

Now the situation on the scene is obvious, the underdog and unequipped gnolls must not escape death, and Rod Ernst, the protagonist of this test of courage, is quite good.

Although the adult gnoll fell into the current predicament, of course, there are reasons such as his slight enemy, but Rod Ernst's expression and response also give a glimpse of the shining point of this twelve-year-old boy.

Decisive! Spicy! The sense of battle is quite good

If these virtues are combined with the terms twelve-year-old and gray iron subordination, then Rhodes gives the impression that he has a great future (there is no word for "promising" in the magical world, but there are sentences with similar meanings).

Generally speaking, it would be good for the children of ordinary commoners and freedmen to join the ranks of professionals and be able to step into the gray iron rank at the age of sixteen. Those children of minor nobles and knight families can advance by one or two years after resources and training, but Rhodes is two or four years ahead of the progress of ordinary people of the same kind!

Not to mention the significance of the growth period of two to four years, the most important thing is that if you have the strength of the gray iron at the age of twelve, then this kind of storage zài is basically a stage of genius.

According to the predictions of several shop managers, as long as Rod Ernst does not die in the process of growing up. The red bronze rank is easy, the silver rank is also readily available, and the gold master rank can also be tried

Thinking of this possibility, several principals of other chambers of commerce couldn't help but decide, and their attitude towards the Ernst family was a little more respectful, and at the same time, they also passed the news back to the family and forces to which they belonged.

Well, this is not to be an enemy of the Ernst family, but to the aristocratic families and various powers to pay attention to those geniuses who may have great potential in the world.

Of course, it's just a matter of paying attention, after all, although Rod Ernst's table is good, but the table is only a good potential. Compared to those who are really strong in the silver and gold ranks, Rod Ernst only has the possibility to reach that kind of process, not that he will definitely be able to reach this kind of course!

Therefore, these shop managers and pharmacists have only labeled Rod Ernst as a label that has a lot of potential to be noticed.

As for what else? Sorry, but this is not their business.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

While others were whispering discussions or making decisions, the battle on the school grounds had come to an end.

"Poof—"

"Woo-woo-goo-"

With the sound of a one-handed sword slicing through the muscles and bones of the blade stabbing through the back of the bruised gnoll, the slumped gnoll could only let out a whimpering cry and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth from time to time. However, Rhodes, who held the hilt of the sword, would not let it go because of the other party's pitiful gesture.

Are you kidding!

It wasn't that Rhodes didn't fail to see the murderous situation of the jackal man who pounced on himself as food just now, and in this case, it was really a rather stupid act to pay attention to what to repay with virtue or let the other party go.

Besides, what if Rhodes spares this gnoll? Do they expect Baron Ernst and the others to spare this gnoll with a severed limb and bruised body? This is obviously not possible! According to Rod's estimate, the final fate of this jackal is to be repaired with a sword and buried directly.

After thinking about it for a while, Rhodes decided that it might as well let the gnolls use the last of their residual heat and let himself test the idea.

"Poof—"

With the long sword that Rhodes swung, the neck of the gnoll, which was already one breath more than death, was directly cut open, and dark red blood gushed out directly from the broken neck of the gnoll and poured it on the school grounds.

After letting go of his feet from the still twitching corpse of the gnoll, Rhodes simply raised the sword and shield in his hand to signal his victory to those around him.

"Smack! Smack!"

"I want to be an excellent watch!"

"What a genius."

"A descendant of the Ernst family!"

After seeing Rod's victory signal, most of the people watching around began to applaud, and all kinds of boastful words were sent out like money. Of course, although there is a lot of flattery and stammering in it, Rhodes's expression just now really makes many people optimistic about the future of this teenager.

After all, although it is not surprising that a warrior of the gray iron rank is in the ranks, a young man who has reached the lower rank of gray iron at the age of only twelve and has performed quite well in the battle just now is worth looking forward to. And looking at the faces of the soldiers and important people in the Ernst territory on the side, it is clear that there is also a considerable expectation and identification with Rod Ernst.

This was also Baron Ernst's intention to establish his son's reputation and prestige in his domain.

After all, in this magical world where the wilderness outside is full of all kinds of dangers, and ordinary people can only be blessed in human cities, towns, and villages, even a barony owned by the Ernst family cannot be appointed by Baron Ernst with a word.

If Rod Ernst or others were not good or worthy of respect, many people in the Barony of Ernst would probably not identify with the so-called heir in their hearts.

Now Rhodes can be sure that at least his position among the important people in the territory is no longer a symbol, but is really regarded by these people as the first heir of the Ernst family!

But for Rod, it's more important now to be sure that he's sucked what should be his soul from the gnoll he killed.

This realization made Rod's face look a little unpleasant, but fortunately, everyone thought that it was just a little sequelae attached to Rod's killing just now.
