I was reincarnated and became a high elf, but I got tired of the slow life after 120 years

m Cleias.

Because it seems that not only the students, but even the master instructors’ ability don’t match that of Cleias’.

Thinking about it, maybe I’m lucky.

Since I had seen the skills of that swordswoman on the first day, I saw the dojo of Rhodoran Great Swordsmanship and did not compromise on whether this was the right place for me.

 

But this has become a problem for me.

Now, my standard is the swordsmanship that that swordswoman wielded at that time.

Frankly, the fact that she cut the fruit cleanly does not mean anything significant.

That swordswoman concentrated her mind for a reasonably long time before performing the technique.

That’s a big gap, and I don’t think anyone would have the time to focus their minds like that in a real battle.

 

So that sword, while beautiful, was not practical.

But I want to wield that beautiful sword.

Ah, what can I say?

Then there is only one course of action to take here.

 

I leave the Rhodoran Great Swordsman’s Dojo and head straight for the main street where that swordswoman was standing on the street yesterday.

When I arrived at the site, that swordswoman, she was not there, but I sat there and waited for the moment she came

 

In the end, that swordswoman didn’t show up that day, and the next day, too.

After getting the other street performers to take the money I offered, I heard that she comes to this place once every few days to show off her skills.

It was an amazing thing, alright, but it’s a really plain performance, so it seems that she hasn’t received much feedback, but for the past year or so, I think she’s been doing it on a regular basis.

 

And I keep waiting, then she finally comes.

“Uhmm, the elf there, sitting in such a place, what are you doing? I think I’ve seen you before, but……”

Apparently, she remembered me.

I guess it’s because elves stand out in the world outside the forest no matter what, but I was very grateful for that now.

 

I stand up at the sound of her voice, look at that swordswoman in front of me, and take a deep breath.

Now, let the battle begins.

 

“I fell in love with your swordsmanship when I saw it.
Please make me your apprentice.
I want to wield the sword like that too.”

 

Saying that, I bow my head.

Of course, by that sword, I didn’t mean her not-so-quality sword, but her swordsmanship.

If I had been given that sword, I would have rented a forge somewhere, melted it down, and struck a new one from it.

 

“Err, I’m sorry……”

“I will pay the remuneration.
I will also do chores.
So please take me!”

 

The moment the person tries to refuse, I repeat the words without letting her say her refusal and bow my head again.

When I told her I was in love with her sword, she definitely looked a little happy.

So if she still tries to refuse my apprenticeship, she may have some circumstances.

 

But that’s her situation, not mine, so it’s something I didn’t know.

I want to learn that swordsmanship now.

Therefore, if there are circumstances where that is not possible, I’ll kick such things to the curb.

 

I will never retreat.

Yes, this is a battle, and if I retreat even one step, I’ll lose.

 

Her words of refusal were crushed, and she opened and closed her mouth and looked a little troubled.

In other words, she took a step back.

So this fight is definitely mine to win.

 

“I don’t know the name of that sword yet.
But I want to be a swordsman who wields it.”

 

I put up one more time, and I step in as much as she steps back.

With a look of hesitation on her face, she was troubled for a while.

 

“……I get it.
I will talk to you at my dojo.
I’m sure you’ll change your mind when you see it.”

 

And with some reluctance, though her hesitation did not disappear, she said, yes.

 

If Asvald, my damn dwarf master, had been here, he would have surely looked at her with sympathy.

Yes, I am having so much fun right now.

Now, let’s head to her dojo, to the dojo where I will learn from now on.
