To become a king and a magician

On a horse-drawn carriage.

"It hurts...it really hurts. I haven't felt this pain in a long time."

Clutching his swollen, bruised face, Renek crossed his legs and looked at Natsukawa Tora, who was sitting in front of him leading a horse.

The battle with Natsukawa Torato lasted for more than fifty minutes, and the result was Reinek's defeat.

This was a battle result that surprised everyone. Even Ash, who believed in Natsukawa Torata's strength, was taken aback by the outcome. It wasn't just a simple victory; throughout the entire battle, Natsukawa Torata hadn't been touched by Lenek even once.

He was like a wooden stake, standing still and knocking Lenek away again and again until he was beaten into submission.

Ash and the others knew of Leneck's strength, but to defeat him in that way...

"Just how strong are you? You're called Natsukawa Tora."

"I can't help but ask," Renek asked.

Natsukawa Tora, who was sitting in front leading the horse, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

"what?"

"Because my strength can change," Natsukawa Tiger laughed. "I am not human, but an elf, a terminal device of the planet. My strength changes with the strength of the enemy, and under normal circumstances, it will stabilize at a level that allows me to just suppress the enemy."

Ash asked, "So that means your power just now changed in conjunction with Lenek's?"

Natsukawa Tora shook his head: "No, no, no, it wasn't like that just now... uh, I didn't mean to look down on Reinek, it's just that Reinek's words weren't enough to trigger that situation for me."

"Gulp! You're looking for trouble, aren't you! That was just a friendly spar. If you're so capable, come back and fight to the death next time!"

“I don’t think Ash would want our relationship to turn out that way,” Natsukawa Tiger said with a smile. “To be honest, I don’t dislike you, Lenek. If possible, I would like to get along well with you.”

"I have absolutely no desire to get along with you."

Renek turned his head away: "So, you mean you defeated me with your own strength? So easily?"

"How could it be easy? I used all my strength that I can normally use."

The pseudo-future vision achieved by leveraging the spirit's perception ability, the maximum power of the Holy Sword without releasing its true name.

Aside from summoning magic and imaginary materialization, Natsukawa Tora used all his strength, since summoning magic was probably useless against Reinek, and imaginary materialization was not suitable for one-on-one combat.

That's used to smash those scumbag fairies flat on the spot.

"Besides, in the end, our fight is just a friendly spar. I don't think I need to use any power here that could completely defeat you."

"You talk as if you're confident you can completely wipe me out."

"No, it's definitely true."

"Tsk!"

With a slight smirk, Lenek jumped down from the carriage: "That's all for now. I'll head back to the Fang Clan myself. See you next time, Ash, Tin Can, Little One."

"Who's the little one?! I'm going to knock you out!"

"Tetrot retorted irritably."

Ash looked at Lenek and said, "That's true. You're the patriarch of the Fang Clan. If you have too much contact with me, it will put you in a difficult position. You must have sneaked out this time, right? I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

"Tch, I'm just out for a walk. Besides, who would dare question my reason of 'I'm going to patrol all of Britain to eliminate Morse'?"

Fairies exist for a specific purpose, and they will stop at nothing to achieve it. When a fairy loses its purpose, it becomes Morse.

Morse is the natural enemy of fairies. Once it comes into contact with a fairy, it will attach itself to the fairy and eventually turn the attached fairy into Morse as well.

The Fang Clan is the only clan capable of fighting against Morse.

The reason Renek was out on the road this time was to eliminate the rampant Morse. His encounter with Ash and the others was just an "accident" and he definitely did not follow Ash.

"Besides, it's not good for me to go to Lentinion. Those little guys you've trained are terrifying, and I'm terrified of them. Let's wait until the war you mentioned starts before we officially meet there."

After saying this, Leneck ran off the carriage at full speed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Natsukawa Torama asked Ash, "So, we're going to Lentinion now? Does the war mean... a war between humans and fairies?"

Ash nodded: "Hmm, you really do know everything."

The war between humans and fairies.

That was an uprising caused by humans who had been oppressed by fairies for many years due to the gradual prosperity of human society in recent years. Although the power of humans was insignificant in front of fairies, some scattered humans still managed to win.

And Lentinion is one of the human strongholds.

According to what Natsukawa Torama knows, this war will eventually escalate into a full-scale war with Ash's intervention, and the human side will be victorious under the leadership of a knight named Yuther in Lentinion, beginning to establish a kingdom where humans and fairies coexist peacefully.

However, due to the fairies' traditional skill, Yuther will be poisoned during the coronation ceremony, and Ash will be utterly devastated as a result.

But now...

"The war hasn't even started yet; it's just a momentum. It will be several years before it truly begins, at least until that child grows up."

"That child?"

"It refers to Uther."

Trot explained, "A boy favored by Ash, now Ash's disciple, learning how to fight under her guidance. He should look a lot like you when you were a child."

(The Arthur of this world... Arthur's appearance, Yuther's name, and his teacher is Morgan...)

It's a combination that's truly impossible to evaluate. Those from the Pan-Human History side would probably have extremely mixed feelings if they knew.

But Merlin and Merly would probably laugh themselves to death.

"So our return to Lentinion is to continue cultivating the human forces there?"

"Well, also... if possible, I'd like to ask you to tutor Uther." Ash said somewhat shyly, "I'm a magician, and the only thing I can teach Uther is magic, but he... seems to have more talent in swordsmanship than magic, so could I trouble you?"

"Well......."

Natsukawa Tora hadn't expected this turn of events.

Following Arthur's appearance, Uther's name, and Morgan as the teacher... is another new teacher coming, this time it's Arthur?

(Hiss... Following the method used back then at the Clock Tower... that should work, right?)

32. You can call me Merlin.

Lentinion.

It was a city, or rather a castle or fortress, located at the southeastern tip of the British Isles.

Of course, it's a bit early to call it that now. Right now, it's just a camp, and even though it already has walls made of piled-up rocks, everything is still in its infancy.

With the war between humans and fairies escalating, Lentinion is one of the few human groups capable of confronting fairies head-on.

Those who want to rebel against the fairies' oppression of humanity until now.

A person who wants to live in peace with fairies.

A person who wants revenge because their life has been toyed with by fairies.

.......

All sorts of humans have gathered here, with the idea of ​​fighting and defeating the fairies, and changing the status of humans as they have ever been.

Among all these people, there was a rather special boy.

"Nine hundred and ninety-six...nine hundred and ninety-six..."

In an open space within the city of Lentinion, a boy with hair as bright as the sun was practicing with a wooden sword in both hands.

The boy's name was Yusser, and he was known throughout Lentinion as the "disciple of the Savior."

Ash has saved Britain countless times, and unlike ungrateful fairies, humans remember Ash's kindness. In recent years, Ash has awakened from its slumber and has saved humanity many times. The humans here are all sincerely grateful to Ash.

Therefore, Ash was very popular in Lentinion, and her disciple Yuther was regarded by the people of Lentinion as the successor to the savior, who looked forward to him growing up and leading them to defeat the fairies.

“Nine hundred and ninety-nine…one thousand—!”

After completing a thousand sword swings, Yuther, drenched in sweat, couldn't help but gasp for breath.

He's only twelve years old, still just a child. This level of training is quite a burden for him. It's only because he's already used to this kind of training that he's already collapsed.

"You've worked hard, Yuther." A man in armor came to Yuther's side and handed him a water bag. "Have some water and rest for a bit."

"Thank you, Uncle Ellie."

After taking the water bag and drinking a sip, Yuther looked towards the city gate.

The knight called Airi asked with a smile, "What's wrong? You seem a little distracted today? No, you should say you've been a little distracted these past two days... thinking about the Savior?"

"Well, after all, Master has been gone for many days, and I'm worried that something might have happened to her." Yuther made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

Admittedly, Ash was the savior who saved Britain several times and possessed immense power, but even so, Uther was still somewhat worried about his master.

Ellie tapped the little boy on the head: "The Savior will definitely be fine. We don't need to worry about her because of her realm. Besides, aren't there Fairy Knight and Black Knight over there? They will definitely help the Savior."

"That's true."

After thinking about it this way, Yuther was no longer worried.

Just as he was about to raise his sword and begin training again—

"Hey! Yuther!"

A boy suddenly burst into the training ground, shouting with a big smile, "The Saviors are back!"

(master!)

--------------------------

Meanwhile, at the entrance to Lentinion.

"You've finally returned, my savior!"

"These are freshly baked potatoes, please have a taste!"

"These are accumulated matters; please take a look if you have time!"

......

Upon seeing Ash return in a carriage, the large number of humans who had been scattered around immediately gathered around. There were ordinary people dressed as commoners as well as guards dressed as knights, and everyone sincerely welcomed Ash's return with smiles and enthusiasm.

Ash was clearly used to this situation and handled the conversations with great skill. Seeing her so adept, Natsukawa Tiger couldn't help but wonder, "How many times has she experienced something like this?"

"Is Ash really that amazing?"
