Test of Ability

The sunlight was touching his skin, his short brown hair was waving in the air. 

Clear blue sky and flushing leaves can be seen so Clearly.

"Ohohoho! What is this?"

Young master Gaun's eyes were so clear.

He could even see every flapping wing of small bees that flew around him.

"Is this Apprentice Magician order one?"

However, the surprise did not make young master Gaun waver as he quickly put his mind to his purpose.

His eyes squinted as he looked around. He noticed there were six knights on their horses.

'Huh?'

The six knights who were standing still felt a huge presence come out.

They sweat their pants when they sensed it.

When they looked at it, they were surprised at who it was.

"Sir?"

The six knights were surprised to see the young master walk out of the carriage.

However, what made them feel more surprised was that his countenance was like how he stood and looked at them.

Especially his look. He is supposed to look average but his face seems scary and hideous. 

They couldn't help but tremble a little.

Young master Gaun's eyes observed them and knotted as he spoke.

"The six of you aren't my knights. Who are you all?"

The question made them stunned. 

It feels like they were being interrogated.

"I-"

One of the knights was about to answer but young master Gaun only waved his hand.

"Doesn't matter, I can't feel any animosity and killing intent towards me. So I don't care."

Young master Gaun casually said.

"We-"

The knight stuttered as he tried to speak. 

They are not a knight of Leyhart Baron territory. 

They are the knights trained by France, who was a personal guard of Leanne.

They do not know the details of why they are here but they know that this man in front of them is not like this.

They also can't help but be scared. Even though the young master is ugly, he is scarier.

Young master Gaun didn't care about their reaction or what they thought of him.

He is a noble, he would take advantage of it.

He looked at the sword of the knight and lifted his hands like he was asking for it.

"Let me borrow your sword."

The knight was thoroughly confused and dumbfounded by young master Gaun's demands.

Seeing that the knight did not answer and was still startled, young master Gaun felt terrible about him being a knight.

'If this was an enemy ambush, this knight would die in a second.'

However, he didn't care about him, probably he's just a knight bred for this useless trip, then he won't be hired again.

"What? Is that thing so important to you? Don't tell me your life is your sword?"

Young master Gaun startled the man to wake up from his daze.

Young master Gaun was thoroughly disappointed.

The knight trembled uncontrollably. He felt he could die from the young master's look and voice.

It's like a call that was from the depth of hell.

Soon the knight bowed and gave him his sword and its heavy metallic scabbard.

He used all his guts and courage just to hand the sword in his hands.

"I apologize, your grace."

Young master Gaun nodded and did not comment or reprimanded him.

He can feel that the man feared him for some unknown reason but he decided not to pry on it.

Probably the effect of the curse on Miracle Valkyrie's Body.

Young master Gaun holds the handle of the sword and sheaths it from its scabbard and throws the scabbard away.

A feeling of coldness rasped his fingers.

Young master Gaun caresses the blade and examined it while thinking of the gift he received from the system.

'So If I cut myself, I won't die, right?'

He thought for a while thinking of his ability.

Out of the knights' shock.

Young master Gaun gripped his sword tightly in his right hand and swung it down to his left hand.

The knights felt the event had happened too fast.

They could not resist and assumed that the young master would hack them to death.

"SIRE?"

The knights shouted with worry and wondered why and what had happened.

However, the knights were greeted with a spurt of blood spurting everywhere.

A fountain of blood that woke the knights from their stupor.

"Sir!!!"

"No!"

"Young sir."

The knights scrambled into a panic.

At the same time, a drip of piss fell from their pants, wetting the ground.

To them, the young master was like a demon king that came from hell.

Young master Gaun's face went awry.

'You're all a knight and you cry seeing blood? Is my status too high as a noble?'

Young master, Gaun thought.

However, he knew it was because they might get killed if they let a noble's blood spray in their presence.

Plus, the curse of Valkyrie must have been affecting them. That's why they look like that. 

He decided not to taunt them.

Young master Gaun thought they wouldn't do anything, a beginner knight with no experience.

Easily intimidated, what if they were in a war? What can these knights do?

"Do not fret. This is my gift. Look!"

Young master Gaun didn't know how it was going to happen but it was taking him long enough.

However, his hands were not healing.

The knights on the side became covered in sweat from head to toe.

They thought about punishment and how evil the young master was.

Before coming here, they were warned by their captain France that the young master of the Leyhart Family was troublesome.

The young master of the Leyhart Family could make a scene and accuse them of something they didn't do.

After all, with that kind of face, he wouldn't hate the world.

So, in their heart, they clapped their hands and closed their eyes to pray.

The strange scene made young master Gaun wonder what these knights are up to.

However, his mind is not occupied by them but by the ability, he is testing.

'It's not testing?'

Young master Gaun eyes the spurting blood from his hands.

Feeling that there's missing.

'Should I use Mana?'

He thought as if it was the only conclusion he could think of.

'How do I use mana?'

Young master Gaun thought and wondered how it was again.

'In the novel, it is said the secret to feeling the Mana was to feel you slept with an exquisite girl.'

However, young master Gaun couldn't do it.

'I never experienced that!'

Young master Gaun cursed.

'How do I feel, Mana?'

Young master, Gaun thought after finally calming himself down.

Ding!

[ Charge: 79. ]

[ Helping the host to feel the mana. ]

Young master Gaun was surprised.

Soon, with the help of the system, he can now sense Mana.

He used it and felt he became a little fatigued.

He instantly felt a little energy zap in a second.

All of the sudden, as if a miracle was happening in front of them, the scattered blood turned into light. 

Slowly, one by one floated in the air.

Like a grain of sand concentrating at once at a certain point.

Turning into marble… 

Turning into a massive ball.

All the massive balls floating in the air suddenly concentrated at one point.

Back to young master Gaun's arms.

Soon, he felt a tremendous force all over his body. 

It's like his body is inside a colony of harmless ants, and these ants are marching in every fiber of his being.

Caressing small areas, massaging his very soul.

Ding!

[ The host nearly killed himself by slashing himself but with only a two percent chance of dying. ]

Ding!
