Chapter 36: King, become a swordsman!

What does it feel like to know you're about to go defeat the pharaoh?

Su Ya only feels like the frantic bully that the nine‑headed worm sent to eliminate the Tang monk and his disciples.

The sky is falling!

Su Ya considers himself exceptionally gifted in this world; shortly after his transmigration, with Mei Li's help, he directly killed a professional‑level assassin.

But no matter how much of a prodigy you are, you still can't treat a buddy like Sasuke?

Where you can take a beating, go there?

Y‑you… are you still a person?!

Su Ya, with a terrified expression, looked at Mei Li, Lu Kan, and Dagonite, and seeing all three wholeheartedly agreeing with the proposal, felt his heart thump again.

Half‑hero,

Even though it's half, it's still better than master‑level; a buddy facing a master would probably be felled with a single slash, yet why do you all have no objections at all?

Seeing Su Ya's terrified expression, Mei Li extended a small hand to pat his belly, flashing a "You can do it, you rascal" look, and urged:

"Don't be afraid, Su—my king, you can do it, and right now, you're the only one who can."

Lu Kan nodded: "We need a swordsman!"

"A master‑level swordsman—if we have such a master swordsman skilled in riding paired with our formation, we'll have the 'paper' possibility of a direct showdown with this half‑hero."

Su Ya, hearing that, was immediately startled: "Swordsman? Or a master‑level swordsman?"

At this point, he had already learned from Mei Li and Dagonite the general rank divisions of professions in this world.

Attendant, professional, master, hero, and those who have never seen how terrifying the legends truly are; after the legends, there are gods who can freely fill mountains, create seas, shift continental plates, and even summon the continent's descent.

Among the six ranks, master ranks third,

but regardless, the practical problem is—

Su Ya isn't even an attendant.

All his attributes are boosted through a cheat‑provided method, and he only knows that such a method exists, yet he doesn't know how to become a professional or how to grow stronger.

Ignoring Mei Li's enhancement magic, Su Ya's actual combat power can only hold a 1:1 against the common foot soldiers scattered across the battlefield, let alone master‑level opponents.

Thinking this, Su Ya couldn't help but shift his gaze to the Dagonite beside him,

"Wait, Dagonite, aren't you a Knight?"

"Yes, king, I am a Knight, and also a spearman."

"But I'm not a swordsman."

Su Ya, already accustomed to Dagonite's detailed explanations, immediately said: "Then please explain it to me properly."

"King, I'm honored, but I'm not a swordsman nor a leader; I—I cannot replace you."

Dagonite instinctively retracted his neck, beginning to act like a turtle pulling into its shell.

Su Ya only felt that Dagonite had become extremely hard to communicate with at this moment, and helplessly explained:

"I'm not asking you to replace me, I'm asking you to"

Lu Kan glanced at Dagonite, eyes showing disdain, and sneered:

"My king, let me explain. I've long said this guy is a coward; whenever combat is involved, his mind is like the watermelon worms crawling everywhere on the ground, only able to understand commands like 'find a place to hide.'"

"Y‑you're talking nonsense, I… I'm just"

Lu Kan ignored Dagonite's rebuttal and explained:

"We need a master‑level swordsman, or rather, we need you to masquerade as a master‑level swordsman."

"Swordsman, spearman, Knight, archer, berserker, magician, assassin."

"Among the seven professions,"

"The swordsman profession has the highest strength and stamina bonuses. We already have plenty of agile assassins and spearmen, so we need a front‑line capable of directly confronting the fantasy creature 【Human‑faced Lion】 that Ptolemy rides, and a master‑level swordsman who can withstand Ptolemy's close‑range attacks as both swordsman and Knight."

"But this isn't to have you actually fight that half‑hero; it's merely to present the stance that we have the capability to clash with them, just as I did when facing Seleucus."

"You possess, um…"

At this point, Lu Kan seemed to recall some unpleasant memory, instinctively glancing at the harmless‑looking Mei Li beside him, hurriedly replacing the word 'scammer' he was about to utter with another term, vaguely but confidently affirming to Su Ya:

"You have the aura of that profession; if it's you, you'll surely accomplish this perfectly!"

Hearing that, Su Ya remained expressionless.

If you want to call me a scammer, just say it. If you want me to take a beating, just say it!

Would I, because of this, ask you for money like Mei Li does?

You're underestimating the king's magnanimity!

However,

At this moment, he also understood Lu Kan's plan,

They intend to deceive, to ambush, to rely on wit to bully the pharaoh comrades they might face.

Only they cannot actually fight.

"In fact, Sir Ecto's second son, according to rumors in our circle, is a master‑level swordsman, a future kingdom star whose talent is no less than that of Knight Kai."

"The enemy side knows this information as well."

"Although we don't know why, the real you has never even touched a profession, and compared to becoming a swordsman, you actually possess top‑tier talent for another profession."

"But—"

Swoosh!

Suddenly speaking, Lu Kan half‑knelt before Su Ya, appearing to lower his head while his gaze subtly rose, his golden pupils calmly observing Su Ya's expression,

and while his head stayed low, his voice took on another tone,

with a mixture of deep apology and sincere earnestness he said:

"Sorry, my king, even if this temporarily buries your talent!"

In order to defeat the future Pharaoh King, reach Sol City, return to the capital——

Your Majesty, please become a swordsman!

Although the words that reached his ears were very stirring, there was no flaw,

But Su Ya at this moment instinctively felt a sense of being watched,

Just when Lu Kan mentioned the term 'Sir Ecto's second son,' he immediately realized,

Lu Kan was still doubting, doubting his identity as king, doubting the truth of his being Sir Ecto's son!

And in less than a tenth of a second of reaction time,

Su Ya immediately made a response——

He showed a hint of embarrassment, slightly clenched his fist, and then, feeling somewhat dejected, spoke:

In the manor, I am not like Kai-ge, I even cannot call Ecto 'Father Sir.' Well then

Su Ya first helped Lu Kan up, then raised his head, looked in turn at the three people by the one-legged round table, gritted his teeth, and shouted:

I want to become a professional!

My Knights——

This is not only for you, but also for myself; what profession is best or most suitable doesn't matter, what matters is,

As king, I want to fight side by side with you!

Please tell me!

How should I become a swordsman?
