I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 432: Legacy Inheritance

Fran and the others were asked by Count Bailleys to set foot into the Adventurers’ Guild, they seem to be busy today. There were several parties lined up in the lanes for high-ranked adventurers.

The town was in an uproar because of the commotion in the noble district, but the adventurers were as usual. I wondered if they had decided that it was none of their business.

In fact, some commoners were just talking anxiously in the traffic.

Fran was about to rush to the reception desk at once, but Colbert stopped her.

「It will take even more time. Besides, if we make a scene here, the adventurers will feel bad about us. We'll just line up like normal」

「…Understood」

While we were lined up in the lane, Colbert made small talk with Fran, perhaps to calm her down.

「What did you do after the fighting tournament, Miss Fran?」

「Nn? went to the Beast Kingdom on the continent of Krome」

「Hou? A request for a ship's escort? I've had a few of those myself, you know?」

He said that when he goes there on a ship escort request, he never goes outside the port town and comes back. So, he had been there a few times, but he is not very familiar with it.

「That's why i don't know the details」

「I went to a black cat kin village there」

「Then, did you also went to the royal capital?」

「Nn」

「Heh! How as it? Did you find any good food or interesting places?」

「There's a lot」

Fran talked to a curious Colbert about the food and scenery of the beast country. There are many stories that can't be told, but fortunately, Colbert's interest is focused on the climate.

Colbert, who enjoys cooking, was particularly interested in the cuisine of the Beast Country. When I gave him some recipes through Fran, he was very happy.

He was also impressed by what has we seen of the beast country from the back of Urushi.

「That sounds interesting. I want to go to the Beast Country too. Delicious food, and scenery I've never seen before. That's the best part of traveling, right?」

「Nn!」

These two are actually get along. It has been so since we first met in Barbra. It seems that they share the same wavelength, or perhaps they are of similar mental age, or perhaps they are moved by similar things.

After Fran finished talking about the beast country, she now asked Colbert a question. Actually, there's something I've been wondering about too. But I'm not sure if I should ask Colbert. It's a delicate matter.

But Fran put the question to him easily.

「Was Colbert excommunicated?」

「Guh…」

Yeah, I was actually kind of expecting Fran to ask this question without reading the air.

Colbert used to be a member of a martial arts school called Dimitris style. I don't know the details, but it is said that there is a test to receive initiation approval in the Dimitris style.

The idea is to become a rank A adventurer while your powers are sealed by a special magical device. I think it's going to be insanely difficult. I mean, he is going to get the same level of power as a rank A adventurer with his abilities sealed.　If he really put his mind to it, he'll be a Rank S class.

I'm not sure every one of them will achieve it.

The seal can be lifted by the person himself in case of emergency. Originally, this was only allowed in emergencies, such as helping others or when one's life was in imminent danger, and if you lifted the seal for personal gain, you would be excommunicated.

However, Colbert broke the seal at the martial arts tournament. In order to win against Fran. It was a complete selfish use.

If the rumours are true, it would be strange if he hadn't been excommunicated……

「How was it?」

「……I」

「Nn?」

「I was excommunicated!」

Oh, so he was seriously excommunicated? Colbert's expression, which had been so happy until now, changed drastically, and his shoulders slumped with a gloomy expression. Could this guy be crying?

「Ugh. Well, I was prepared for that. I knew I'd be excommunicated…」

「What happens when you are excommunicated?」

「What do you mean? Well, I'm excommunicated, so I can't use Dimitris style martial arts anymore」

「? What does that mean?」

Being excommunicated does not mean that the training he have done so far will be gone. His skills should remain, and if he practices on his own, it will be possible to raise Dimitris style martial arts level.

No, I can't actually see the Dimitrius style martial art when I appraised him, but isn't it just because it's in a sealed state?

Or did he made up his mind to seal his martial arts skills with magic tools in order to be righteous in front of his master, Dimitris?

Or maybe there's some kind of secret that can only be passed on by Dimitris himself? No, I don't think it mean that it can't be used.

「All martial arts school that are recognized by God, including the Dimitris style school, has special skills that are inherited only by the founder and his legitimate successors. The name of this skill is 『Legacy Inheritance』(1). It is a skill that can only be used by the head of the school can use in this world 」

「Legacy Inheritance? What are the effects?」

「The skill has only one effect. The only effect of the skill is to erase the martial arts and martial arts skills of those who belong to that school. In case of Dimitris's, it will be 『Legacy Inheritance?Dimitris Style』, it will have the effect of erasing the Demetrius style from the target's possession」

「Is that what they used on Colbert?」

「It's natural, because I was excommunicated」

As expected of a different world. If you are excommunicated, the skill itself will be erased.

「So Colbert is weaker now?」

「Well, you're right. No, the seal status has been lifted, so the status has increased, but the skills…」

It seemed that the reason he hadn't used the Dimitris style during the attack had nothing to do with the magic cancelling effect, but simply because he had lost his skills.

「I can't bring myself to join another school, so I'll just keep working on my martial arts skills and martial arts technique」

「Good luck」

「Ou!」

At Fran's encouragement, Colbert smiles back with a good face.

As a matter of fact, I was thinking a little bit about the possibility of him to held a grudge. There was no doubt that the fight with Fran was part of the reason. I guess its human psychology that makes us want to complain.

However, Colbert does not seem to have any hard feelings for Fran. Colbert is a good guy, isn't he? Perhaps the reason why Fran is so fond of him is because she is sensitive to that.

「Well, I'll be strong enough to beat miss Fran some day」

「Nn. Looking forward for it」

「Heheh, you can count on me」
