Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 33

Episode 33

– The accommodation I use at the academy is a two-story mansion.

On the first floor alone, there are five rooms, a kitchen, three toilets, and two bathrooms.

And if you go up the stairs located in the living room in the middle of the mansion, you will see a second floor with two rooms, a toilet, a bathroom, and an attic.

Of the two floors, I willingly gave up the second floor.

For nobles, it is impossible to have someone over their head.

At the very least, only those with a title of Marquis or higher can be above me, even if I cannot have a higher title than myself.

That’s why Ellis looked a little surprised when I told him I was giving away the second floor.

Nobility is a being full of pride.

Therefore, only those whom one can truly trust can receive such treatment.

For example, people like bodyguards who protect him all year round.

These people lie in ambush overhead, preparing for any possible threat.

Except for these people, it is impossible for a noble to have someone over his head.

If Mahol had known this, he wouldn’t have been so honestly happy.

‘I am the shield.’

The biggest reason I gave them the second floor.

It is to become a fence for those who still lack strength.

Commoners using the first floor and nobles using the first floor have different meanings and weights.

If a commoner uses the first floor, it doesn’t have much meaning except for the second floor.

Even though I can see my thoughts, it is still a place where I can come in a little more comfortably.

But from the moment I occupy the first floor, this place becomes my sacred place.

No one can enter without my permission.

And since they can’t go to the second floor without crossing me, I can become their shield.

“Thank you. “How should I repay this favor?”

he said, tapping his forehead as he hesitantly approached.

“Don’t forget that feeling. “Because I owe you something.”

“yes.”

“You… no.”

Was he shocked by what I saw?

He started to treat me with respect, which he didn’t do at first.

In a way, it was showing respect to me, so I didn’t bother to touch it.

And it was better to treat me with respect in advance so that he could work under me in the future.

“Oh, and… this person will take care of your younger brother from now on.”

“hello.”

“Oh hello.”

Mahol’s eyes widened at the therapist I brought with him.

He knew full well that he could never hire a therapist as a commoner.

Hiring a therapist once costs dozens of gold.

So, Mahol, who cannot make money and has no assets, wants to hire a therapist to treat Raina, but he cannot.

It was too expensive, and even if hired, there were many therapists who despised commoners, so it was doubtful whether they would provide proper treatment.

So you’re surprised that I brought a therapist with me.

A therapist whose price is too high for even nobles to hire.

“….”

Mahol looked at me with his mouth blankly open.

I could see the thoughts in those eyes.

It’s a look in his eyes that asks why he’s doing this to himself.

I shrugged my shoulders and said.

“This too is all light. “You have to pay it back later.”

Even if you look at it as a compliment, it is not a strange statement. But I was serious.

When Mahol reaches a certain level of skill, I will work on him like crazy.

I will pamper him again and again, like squeezing oil out of a dry fish.

So it wasn’t a waste to spend a few pennies.

Rather, he was happy that he could hire a talented person for this amount of money who would not be able to hire him even if he paid a million gold in the future.

I can already think of countless things I can do with him.

But I decided to put that aside for a moment.

When I started to look at myself a little more.

What I’m saying is, you have to be patient and wait until you gain trust that you can trust, even if it means eating and shit.

There is nothing more foolish than ruining a great world due to petty greed.

Above all, I wasn’t losing money.

All the money I spend now is being ripped off from the vice principal.

In a way, I was doing the compensation that the vice principal should have done.

“What are you doing. Without guiding my brother. “I paid a lot of money to hire him, but are you going to leave me like this?”

“Ahhh. “Come this way!”

The therapist smiled brightly and followed Mahol.

I looked behind the therapist, who was wearing something similar to a pure white uniform.

Among therapists, he is the one who was hired after looking around for a therapist who does not ignore commoners and treats everyone with sincerity.

Since he is a person who works as much as he gives, there is no need to worry that he will not be treated because he is a commoner.

More than anything, I’m doing it because I told you to, so unless you’re scared of the Millennium Counts, you can’t do that.

“I suggest you stay at the dorm until Raina regains her health. There are a lot of rooms, right? “Give me a good one among them.”

“yes.”

After a while, Mahol came down from the second floor.

Perhaps because he was anxious, he came to watch the therapist treating Raina.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand his feelings, so I greeted him with a smile.

“Thank you. thank you so much.”

Is it because he saw his younger brother being treated with his own eyes?

His eyes were red.

How anxious have you been all this time?

My younger brother is sick, but I can’t even give him medicine, and even if I wanted to move my dorm, the vice principal wouldn’t allow it.

My younger brother was acting like he was going to die at any moment, but as the older brother, I must have thought about all sorts of things.

Knowing his thoughts, I gave him the money bag without saying anything.

He looked up at me as if he had come to his senses.

“What if I change accommodations? I don’t have any proper clothes. As an older brother, what if I can’t buy my younger brother a set of clothes? Use this to buy some clothes. “I bought you something delicious.”

“…thank you.”

His eyes got red and he was about to burst into tears, so I patted his shoulder and walked away.

***

Mahol was deeply troubled as he looked at his younger brother, who looked more relaxed than usual after receiving treatment from a therapist.

“brother?”

“….”

“brother!”

“Huh?”

“What are you thinking about?”

“Uh… no. nothing.”

“It’s nothing. What.”

She lived with Mahol all her life, not just seeing him for a day or two.

It was not unreasonable to know what he was worried about when he saw that he always tried to smile in front of himself and stayed still with a serious expression.

“Hmm…”

“If you keep doing that, I’ll get upset?”

“Uh… um. “That…”

Mahol hesitated for a moment.

Can I tell this to my younger brother?

I wonder if my younger brother doesn’t like it.

Amidst all sorts of random thoughts, Mahol began to say out loud what he had been thinking about.

“That means we have received a lot of grace…”

“Yes.”

“So I thought about how I could repay the favor.”

“….”

“But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t find an answer. He has more money than me and can do many things on his own. There was nothing I could give him…”

“…so.”

“….”

“So what do you want to do?”

Mahol held Rayna’s hand and wiggled his fingers.

“I want to work for Him if I can.”

“….”

“That’s the only thing I could do. Working for Him. “It may not be enough for a lifetime, but I still want to do it.”

Raina raised her upper body. Mahol hurriedly helped her up.

“How can it be as you wish?”

“…?”

Mahol tilted his head. She said with a frustrated look on her face.

“Do you think you can say you want to do it? I don’t think so. “If you look at the sister next to her, she’s different from us.”

“….”

“A person with such great ability would have been crushed to death. Should I use my brother? When it’s time to say something like this to me, shouldn’t you go first and ask me to use you? “What if I say I don’t need him?”

“…!”

Mahol looked at Rayna with a shocked face.

She was right.

Mahol had forgotten that Raymond might be so nice to him that he might not hire him.

I just thought that if my younger brother would allow me, I should work for him.

“I thought you would have already asked him… Are you going to keep doing that?”

“…I’ll go out for a moment.”

“huh.”

Mahol got up and left the room.

Raina looked at the back with a faint smile.

***

Mahol came to me as I was swinging my sword with Ellis by my side, using the moon as light.

“Can I… talk for a moment?”

“hmm?”

At those words, I lowered the sword I was holding and handed it to Ellis, then picked up the towel she gave me and wiped my sweat.

“Are you in a hurry?”

“yes.”

“Then what?”

He motioned for Ellis to step aside. Then I sat down on a chair at the end of the clearing and waited for him to speak.

He hesitated to speak for a moment, but as if he had made up his mind, he clenched his fists and said.

“Please accept me.”

“hmm…?”

“Why not?”

“No, that’s not it. What should I say if you ask me to accept everything? “What exactly are you asking for?”

“Ah…”

I said that, but I guessed what he was going to say.

A request to accept yourself.

What he meant was that he wanted to come and work under me.

And that was what I wanted to hear from him.

I understood, but I pretended not to know because I wanted to hear it one more time.

Then, sweating profusely, he explained to me to make me understand.

“…please use me!”

“okay.”

“…yes?”

“I understand.”

I felt like if I teased him any longer, he would burst into tears, so I nodded.

Then his face brightened.

He even had tears in his eyes, probably because he didn’t expect me to accept him.

I called Ellis and told her that.

“I will accept it. But I have no intention of ordering you to do anything right now. It is only after you return to your family that you will begin working under me in earnest. Understand?”

“yes!”

Mahol stood at attention and answered loudly.

He smiled at him and said to Ellis.

“You can deliver the letter to the head deacon, right?”

“yes.”

“Then just tell him I’m trying to raise a governess. “If you say so, I will take care of it.”

“yes.”

“And…”

I looked over Mahol’s body.

A body that looks so delicate and weak.

In the original, Mahol was said to have a sturdy physique and enough stamina to not sleep for a month.

So there were things I didn’t recognize when I first saw him.

“You need to do some exercise. I’m not trying to tell you anything. “Still, I need to build up my stamina.”

Being a butler is a job that requires physical strength.

The same goes for Ellis. To carry out my orders, Ellis exercised every day.

I usually exercise at night or, like now, run around the vacant lot with me to build up my stamina.

Well, now that I have Mahol, I plan to entrust him with dangerous tasks.

Until then, Ellis had to do all the work.

“I will do my best!”

Mahol clenched his fists and his eyes lit up.
