The goblin was a disciple, right?

Huh? If I raise a goblin, will it become a top-tier swordsman?!

Isn’t it that you retreated without being able to completely defeat them?

An episode where revealing the details would make it feel like a miracle to have escaped from the surroundings, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

I’m not used to dungeon battles…

The entrance to the dungeon is narrow…

This old man is definitely stronger against humans, right?

I think it’s hard to predict their actions because monsters use magic.

I’m dealing with a burning griffon really well.

An unappealing old man who just can’t seem to reveal his weaknesses…

If something like that is at the entrance, everyone will die.

If it’s an opponent with a sword, I will fight with a proper strategy, but against monsters, I can only fight with my raw stats…

That status is incredibly high…

It seems that it would struggle against non-human entities, as it is a type of swordsmanship that practices the principle that a three-inch cut can kill a person…

I wonder how they will deal with an opponent that looks like a skeleton.

It seems like it will be cut to pieces.

I love player-versus-player specialized characters in a fantasy world where monsters and dungeons exist.

Seeing that they were struggling against the old loli, it seems that the magic swordsman’s child might have a chance if they grow a bit more.

I’ve gotten so that I can cut through magic now…

In anime, even in a strengthened state, they were still confused by the named characters, weren’t they?

You’re such a lame old man for not even being able to get inside!

This uncle’s strength lies in his experience and his ability to somehow survive and find a way out, or to disrupt and crush an opponent who is imposing their strengths. Therefore, he is weak against simple power and speed, especially against opponents he cannot face directly.

A title that seems like it would excel against people but would struggle against monsters.

That is the Sword Saint.

Well, just because I’m skilled in swordsmanship doesn’t mean I’m an expert in monster hunting, you know, old man.

Is Fis-chan’s full power not enough even against Xenograyble?

It seems like my magical power is running out.

That griffon was killed so easily…

An assassin who has defeated named-level opponents and is recognized by other countries for being an extraordinary black-ranked adventurer should at least have a little self-awareness.

I didn’t actually win against Sreena based on skill or anything.

I could have defeated this uncle’s dad…

But since it has the title of “Sword Saints,” I can understand that no matter what kind of crisis arises, it will be okay.

I think that self-evaluation being at a bug level only happens in manga, so it’s just an overly symbolic expression.

It’s probably because I lack confidence and am humble that I’ve become this strong.

Once you gain confidence, the conversation will end, right?

I wonder if I will have gained confidence by the time I become a sword saint.

Is this how it will feel for the rest of my life?

I have confidence in my swordsmanship, but I feel that respect and a sense of indebtedness towards people with impressive backgrounds and titles take precedence.

This uncle himself is strong too.

I think the most dangerous part is being able to mass-produce strong disciples.

Separate the dojo into day and night sessions to double the number of students.

I heard that reading just the original work gives the impression of “the sword saint from the countryside goes to the city.”

Did you do something again?

Is it not something like a father disguised as a monster?

I’ve been getting through the tough situations one way or another.

In reality, there isn’t usually such leeway.

Did you encounter something like Oonazuchi?

Did another successful disciple increase in the latest manga chapter?

Isn’t it arrogant for someone lacking confidence to teach swordsmanship?

Stay indoors.

Are you saying you couldn’t defeat them but managed to repel them?

What the heck, running away at the entrance without even being able to defeat a monster? What a pathetic old man! Hahaha!

Due to not having confidence that matches their abilities and being forced to fight at the very edge every time, this is… a vicious cycle.

If Hikaru Seijuro were active on the front lines, the story would end.

Didn’t I just give up because I failed the typical early-game mimic quest in Monster Hunter?

Seriously strong guys often win somehow, including luck, so their self-awareness doesn’t change much.

If you lack confidence, I think the knight commander should nurture you.

It is likely considered a named entity on par with the monster that the Red Demon Berglyph faced.

The dungeon around there felt like it was the final dungeon…

It feels like, just because the sword is strong, that it’s too late to say anything about it, so I probably don’t think I’m weak.

It seems common for someone to be strong in player-versus-player battles but weak against monster battles.

The original work is so-so… if you like it, isn’t that good enough?

Manga is interesting, SS class.

Anime is, well… if you like it, then that’s fine, right?

It seems that I’ve never been able to solve anything completely on my own, which might be why it doesn’t boost my confidence.

Somewhere, an apprentice or some assistance will come in.

The black rank opponent didn’t even break a sweat, and the last one defeated was Srena; it feels more like loneliness than confidence for the knight killer…

In the manga, even though he won the mock battle against the black rank, the opponent isn’t sweating at all while the old man is drenched in sweat.

It was the kind of feeling where I couldn’t possibly gain confidence from winning against someone younger than me by two years…

It’s not that he lacks confidence; it’s just that he’s an uncle without a background.

And the negative campaign uncle of darkness only exists in the comic adaptation.

The lack of specific successful experiences and the setbacks in youth are causing a negative state.

I think what older men need is counseling.

There were times when I couldn’t stand it and thought, “Instead of being evaluated, just free the old man, you damn disciple…”

In a world where monsters exist, it’s scary to think that a rural area might get attacked.

Because I’m an old man… I have considerable skill, but even though I’ve trained my stamina, I’m still an old man…

I thought the old man suited the image of a dojo master from a rural area.

A story about a disciple trying to sexually get someone and pulling them out to the city.

The latest episode of the black shadow was insane…

If it were just the disciple’s request, it probably wouldn’t have come out.

But what can you do if the king’s name is mentioned?

First, let’s stop using low-level gear sold in shops, okay?

Outside of player-versus-player battles, Srena is stronger.

Like Aliyuusia, the disciple who is a bit younger than the old man is about equal in swordsmanship in human battles, and has also properly acquired skills beyond just combat.

The fact that the old man is completely lacking in anything other than handling a sword and teaching swordsmanship makes it an undeniable truth that he is not as impressive compared to his disciples.

The original old man doesn’t have such a low self-esteem…

I think I’m a decent master, not one to lose to those around me…

People who have become knights’ leaders, top-ranking adventurers, or vice leaders of the knights’ group, even though they are younger than me, are simply more amazing than I am.

The old man’s job can be done with a wooden sword.

If I truly had no confidence, I wouldn’t take on requests to stop fugitives or guard royalty…

If the king told you to marry this guy, wouldn’t you ultimately have no choice but to accept?

It’s possible to flee the country, but if that would cause trouble for my family and those around me, isn’t getting married the only option?

I don’t like a king who gives such personal orders…

In the manga version, it seems more like a complex about not being able to accomplish anything rather than whether they are strong or not.

In the first place, I shouldn’t think of myself as extremely weak.

I got an inspiration.
