I almost didn’t realize this guy was the first seat of the swordsmanship tournament. This mangaka made it look so simple. Which for clarity is nice, but you’d expect it to be even more exciting, so when Second later mentions that it was about 10 times easier than he wanted, it would have more of an impact.
I do hate the idea of him releasing his methods on skill acquisition though, that shit is VERY valuable. He could create an entire nation’s economy based on skill acquisition but it seems he’s going to distribute it en masse for free.
Thanks for the translation! Love this series so much.
