In the dead of winter in Polka, where snowflakes dance through the air. Besides those who come to take medicinal baths for their ailments, many swordsmen now use this place as a training ground. Most are from the Diarne Special Forces and their associates, but inspired by them, elves with warrior tendencies can also be seen conducting their own special training along the forest’s edge.
Even so, on days when heavy snow falls, there is no one out in the open. While it may not be a time for farming or reading books like during rain, staying indoors and indulging in literature at an inn’s dining room could have its merits. “Captain Aurora, what are you reading?” “Tetheus-san, can you read too?” Aurora showed them a book with the title “Celesta’s East-West Heroes’ Chronicles – Issue 22.” “Heroes’ Chronicles…?” “It’s a catalog of famous warriors centered around Celesta’s military, claiming to be the latest definitive edition,” she said.
“I see, so the term ‘comprehensive’ means…”
“It’s still just a private book after all. It has its inaccuracies and omissions… Well, since even Ace Knights like myself have trouble keeping up with achievements, I suppose it can be praised for being well-researched without touching on military secrets. If you’re looking at the general evaluations of active warriors in Master Knight or equivalent classes, this book pretty much covers everything.”
“Oh yeah? So Aurora Ten Captain is aiming to get listed there too?”
“Hehe. That’s not entirely untrue,” Aurora said with a smile as she opened up another pile of books on the table.
The titles ranged from “Sword Saint Legend: King Yulius III Edition 39” and “Continental Knights Complete Guide, Volume 7.”
“Huh. You’ve got quite a collection there.”
“I’ve been reading these since I was a child, so whenever I visit big cities and see bookstores, I can’t help but buy them… There are articles about my brother and Anzeross too,” Aurora said.
“Oh, I’d like to take a look. I mean, I do have access to the Royal Information Bureau of Renfangas, so I know some personal information, but not detailed evaluations.”
Aurora flipped through one of her books as Tettes opened it up eagerly.
──The noble of the forest domain, Vacuum Blade! There is nothing he cannot sever!
General Lucas (32) Master Knight / Celesta Southern Army Division • Power ★★★★★ • Speed ★★★★★★★ • Technique ★★★★★★★★ • Overall Evaluation
☆☆☆☆☆☆★
The eldest son of the colony leader in South-Eastern Forest Territory, hailed as a genius and master swordsman. His true strength remains unknown, and there are those who claim that this article underestimates him. It is said that when he swings his sword, even massive trees twenty steps away fall with a loud crash. The originality of his technique means that some aspects of his skill cannot be measured by conventional ratings.
What’s more, his strength is matched only by his looks and graceful demeanor, making him the epitome of what one would expect from an aristocrat. However, it should also be noted that he has recently faced some minor troubles after being audited by a spy unit under unclear pretenses and was ordered to observe probation.
──Here stands the orthodox Trot-trained “Wind-Slicing Sword”!──
“Wind-Slicing Sword” Anzerros (age unknown) Ten-man leader / Ace Knight, Celesta Special Forces ・Power
☆☆☆☆☆☆ ・Speed ☆☆☆ ・Technique ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ・Overall Evaluation ☆☆☆☆☆
Until recently, he was famous as the bodyguard of Bason’s elite unit that guards the Trot border, “The Crossbow Squad.” A half-elf boy swordsman with a physique that belies his massive armor and a short sword capable of felling an ogre in one blow. Despite his beautiful appearance, his skills and strength are formidable, making him a prime example of someone who would suffer for underestimating him based on looks.
Recent investigations have also hinted at a female candidate, but details remain unclear due to her transfer into the Special Forces.
“Hey, isn’t Captain Anzeross pretty fast? She’s only ☆three in Celesta?”
“That’s not entirely accurate. We haven’t updated our information since last year when she lost her armor and switched sides. If we did, I’d say she’s at least ☆six… no, make that seven.”
“Right? Good thing. Otherwise, even Al-chan would be around ☆five.”
“The article on the ‘Dance Spear’ should be in your ‘Compendium of Continental Knights.’ The information is outdated, but the evaluation criteria are pretty much the same.”
──One of the candidates for the fastest knight in Afflime Empire──
“Dance Spear” Almeida Elf Paladin. Currently a member of the Folklore Adventurers Guild. Once one of the most renowned Paladins in the Afflime Empire, she is now somehow disconnected from it. She’s currently staying in the second largest city of Trot Kingdom, Folklore.
She possesses balanced combat skills at a high level, but above all else, her speed surpasses even that of the fastest beasts, and despite the spear not being inherently superior in terms of attack numbers, she overwhelms defenses with an incredible display of movement. Her fighting style is almost like a well-rehearsed dance.

「…This one’s a bit stiff, isn’t it?」
“That’s probably because ‘Celesta East-West Heroes’ has a lot of gossip elements. It does feel rather lowbrow at times.” “True, but still, Al is highly regarded in that book.” According to the book, Almeida’s evaluation rivals even that of Master Knights. Though it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, he’s rated higher than Lucas. Tetes nods in satisfaction, but there stands Almeida himself. “That book… They’re overrating me.” “Al…” “I’m certainly confident I can outrun anyone, but the evaluators are a bit too impressed with that. Look, if they used their criteria as a standard, it would make me the strongest knight of Affilm.” “Oh yeah… There’s no one in Affilm rated higher than Al.” “In reality, when I fought against the lords, I lost more often than not. Speed alone isn’t enough to win against everyone.”
「I see…” “Actually, I’m surprised that you’ve won nearly half of your matches.” “I have received the Lord’s recommendation several times before.” Almeida sounded a bit disgruntled. “In our country, it is not battles or exams but a selection committee composed of generals from each principality that decides on the appointments of Paladins and Lords. Depending on the political climate within the Empire, one might be recommended multiple times without ever being appointed, or someone with insufficient strength could still receive an appointment.” “So you’re saying Almeida-san could have been a Lord?” “I don’t know if I’ll become a Master Knight or Black Arm, but at least in Affilm, I was on that level. Besides, the fact that I managed to defeat this Lord doesn’t necessarily mean he was strong.” “Still, there’s also a slight possibility that Red Arms aren’t particularly strong either.” Red Arms, who are regular knights of Renfangas, receive their appointments based on the number of battle honors they have earned. Most of them are seasoned veterans worthy of their accolades, but there are some honors with equivalent value and it isn’t impossible to get appointed without ever having come into contact with monsters.
However, it takes a terrifyingly long time until the official appointment. “Well, after all, this is an article written by someone who heard about it from another country. Besides, I’m already a knight of Renfangas…” “Al-chan, the publication date of this book was two years ago.” ”…I-I guess there’s nothing to be done about that then?” Since Almeida had only come to Renfangas last year, it made sense for the information in the book to be outdated. “In any case, ‘The East-West Heroes’ Annals of Celesta’ is the only one published annually among these books. Especially ‘The Complete Guide to Continental Knights,’ which follows famous knights across the continent; there are often gaps of four or five years between publications. Even if information travels faster nowadays, it’s still difficult to gather high-quality data on such a wide scale.” “Wow wow. But I’d like to become a knight who gets featured in the next edition too!” Tetes said matter-of-factly. However… If even just the fact that she was Alex Buster’s sister became known, she would be included without much trouble. After all, it wasn’t as if they only covered particularly strong knights; there were plenty of famous ones as well. …But Aurora decided to keep this information to herself.
“However, the detail of ‘The Sword Saint Chronicles’ is amazing… They really let me do such thorough research.”
Almeida sighed as she looked at “The Sword Saint Chronicles”.
“That’s probably because the editor belongs to the Royal Capital University’s Military History Club,”
“University club? You mean they made a book like this from there?”
She closed the book and examined its binding carefully. The leather cover was of such high quality that it didn’t look amateurish at all.
“It seems it started as scrolls. Later, due to Lord Crawford’s intention to boost morale by widely publishing them, it took on its current form, and now the Crawford family continues to fund its publication,”
“Well, if college students are doing the research, even a legendary sword saint can’t just ignore them, so naturally the book would be well-made. But I’m surprised they’ve been able to continue after the Celesta War.”
“Celesta didn’t intend to destroy or dismantle the Sword Saint either. They still find it useful as a deterrent against the Affirm Empire,”
Celesta was strict about conflicting interests but also understood that valuable things were fragile and hard to obtain.
The immense trust and admiration for the existence of a “Sword Saint” nurtured in Trot Kingdom, as well as its influence over neighboring countries, once shattered, would be impossible to easily rebuild. There was an understanding that it had value worth exploiting even with some strain. “There are still many children who aspire to become swordsmen due to their admiration for the Sword Saint myth,” he said. “It seems they allow such books unless there’s a clear opposition to Celesta.” “The more I hear, the more tolerant Celesta sounds. It’s hard to imagine that from the blood-soaked war of Afilum Peninsula. Indeed, there was a plan at the time to take over one-third of Trot and use it as a foothold against Celesta by taking advantage of the Sword Saint Corps’ collapse, but Celesta left more of Trot’s military power intact than expected, so they had to abandon their plans.” “Celesta is a nation of merchants. They’re smart about what has value,” he said. “Afilum… or even Verdant Green would have been better off if they were like that…” Almeida flipped through the book again. “By the way, this book also has many bookmarks.” “Yes. Since there are many articles on familiar faces, it’s fun to check them out.” “Familiar faces…?” “As a matter of course, Sword Saint Arthur Bonaparte is one of them, but I’m also acquainted with Captain Gilbert Granth and Lieutenant Hector Landor. I’ve put in bookmarks for the Sword Saints I saw at Renest as well.”
「Hmm… I only got a glimpse of him at the Gibli Fortress, but…”
Almeida flips through the pages with Shiori’s help.
──The Sword Saint Corps’ strongest leader in history. A living legend known as the Supreme Sword Saint──
Arthur Bonaparte, Former Commander of the Sword Saint Corps Former Head of the Royal Guard He was largely responsible for making the Sword Saint Corps the strongest force on the Northwest Plains. Standing at a towering 189 centimeters, he exudes an overwhelming presence that is truly awe-inspiring. And yet, his demeanor is that of a gentleman, with a boyish freshness that belies his age. While his appearance certainly contributes to his charisma, his true strength lies in something even more absolute. His extraordinary physical prowess rivals that of the Orga race, and his swordsmanship is said to have reached divine levels.
Aikens is wielded by Vicks Valle, the top among the ten swordsmiths of the capital city. Though it’s not suited for a fencing match due to its sheer size, Aikens has never lost in any competition against other Sword Saints. He particularly excels at handling the “Blast Attack,” which symbolizes Trot Swordsmen; when he unleashes his full power with this move, it can even create a whirlwind that conventional houses cannot withstand.
However, despite all of this, the wounds he sustained during the previous war were not shallow and he is currently in recovery. Although returning to active duty might be difficult given his age, I would love to see him once again brandishing his sword on the grand arena as a great hero.

──The Ghost Instructor of the Grand Arena──
“Teacher” Gilbert Grants Today, too, many young swordsmen are sweating in the grand arena. Most of them are “Ace Knights,” who were appointed after the Celesta War. However, the man teaching these techniques is a true Sword Saint. Even though he’s approaching his fifties, he still instills fear into the hearts of young swordsmen. People joke that he must have long-lived blood running through him, and while it’s partly due to his unwavering dedication to training every week, his strength also comes from his perfected techniques and incomprehensible mental fortitude. His name is Gilbert Grants. He’s not only an impressive Sword Saint but also a professor at the Royal Capital University. His lectures are well-known for their clarity and lack of tolerance towards absentees—no one should take them unless they’re confident in being present every day, to put it simply. Originally a scholar, this unconventional Sword Saint refused to join the Sword Saint Brigade during the previous war because he disliked leaving his university. He’s also said to be skilled at commanding troops. There are rumors that he turned down an offer from the Celesta Army for general rank status, but who knows if they’re true or not. He is a genuine native of the royal capital and in his free time, he takes his students on tours of hidden local restaurants, showing how approachable he can be.
I had intended to introduce him as the Sword Saint, but it seems that my intentions have been misunderstood. He is a Sword Saint who cannot be fully understood by just looking at his sword skills alone. Please forgive me for any confusion.

──The last Sword Saint was one of both beauty and strength.
Ector Landor A genius swordsman who became the Sword Saint at age fifteen. Due to Trot’s defeat shortly after his appointment and the loss of military command as well as the right to appoint Sword Saints, he is known as “the Last Sword Saint.” The eldest son of the prestigious noble family, the Landors, and an excellent student; one can often see him surrounded by women within the Royal Capital University. It seems that male friends are scarce among his peers. Though his sword has only been drawn once in battle (during the collapse of the Sword Saint Brigade), he is highly regarded for his skill. There’s also hearsay that he has already surpassed ordinary senior Sword Saints and is aiming to take the Master Knight exam. His style is completely orthodox, and he is proficient with “Blast Attack,” possessing considerable speed as well. Once, when a right-wing group caused trouble within the university, he worked alongside Assistant Professor Gilbert Granitz to quell it. His brilliant feat of rescuing female students held hostage by sweeping up their desks with a single blast attack from his short sword has become legendary. His image was painted in oil by an art club on campus and is currently being displayed. There’s talk that he wants to buy the painting back and take it home. The fact that such a swordsman can still be produced within the country gives great hope to those in the Royal Capital who support Trot.

“Shrants’ Eagle” Joseph Bay Former captain of the Sword Saint Brigade’s 7th Company.
He was a Great Sword Saint, and it is said that his strength ranked in the single digits among the Sword Saint Brigade. Abel Dingir’s mentor, he was renowned for his high-speed swordsmanship. A master of two-sword style, wielding swords in both hands, he was known as “Eagle Knight” due to a magnificent strike that broke an opponent’s collarbone and robbed them of their fighting spirit, along with tactics that allowed him to disengage instantly. Later, after adding his hometown Schranz to the name, he became known simply as “Schranz’s Eagle.” While his combat prowess was top-notch, he also had a reputation as a general. The military command at the time struggled greatly over whether Joseph Bay in his role as Sword Saint Brigade’s lead attacker or as a commander was more valuable.

The “Blue Knight,” Balt Dean III. Former captain of the Holy Sword Legion’s 11th Company. A Great Sword Saint. He wears his family treasure, the blue mantle, at all times and is thus known as the Blue Knight. On battlefields, he fights while wearing it, and it remains unsoiled and undamaged, a testament to his prowess.
A master of halberds and an adept user of blast attacks, his tactics are flawless, and he’s renowned for knowing when to retreat. He excels at rescuing allied forces, and many Trot soldiers remember the vividness of that blue mantle.
There is even a saying that only wicked women or sudden storms can soil his mantle.
By the way, he’s also a henpecked husband, and after his wife heard him say this, he lost quite a bit of weight.

“Penetrator” Kane Gold Former member of the Sword Saint Brigade’s 2nd Squad. Grand Sword Saint. Even within the Sword Saint Brigade, which valued coordinated action as its greatest strength, there were times when a bold offensive was necessary. Kane Gold would be the first to charge in such situations, his tenacity making him a reliable figure. His breakthrough capabilities are unparalleled, and he possesses an uncanny ability to sense opportunities for victory that cannot be contained by ordinary vanguard units or cavalry. His charges have often led the Sword Saint Brigade to victory; official records show seven victories attributed solely to his actions, with rumors suggesting there were even more in skirmishes. In terms of individual combat achievements, he is considered among the best within the brigade. However, his injuries are not few and far between. Even an invincible Sword Saint Brigade relied on the constant efforts of brave warriors like him who fought bleeding to maintain their undefeated record.

“Ah, I see… I would also like to test my skills against Arthur Bonaparte once.” Almeida grumbled. “That’s right. If it’s between Arche and Lord Arthur Bonaparte, I’d love to have a look too.”
Tetheus said something irresponsible. Even though it was training, Aurora smiled awkwardly when she realized that she couldn’t stand a chance against Angeleos alone. Then, Sieg Becker passed by them as he returned from the hot spring with steam rising from his body. “Ooh. Interesting members and an interesting monster you’ve got there.” “Special Captain.” “Huh? So Bonaparte has some kind of evaluation system? Well, it’s surprisingly low for him.” “It is?” Almeida looked interested, so Sieg grinned. “If I were to write one… well, let’s say attack power 10 and agility 8. That old man can’t be weaker than the eagle from Schranz in terms of attack power.” “Attack power 10 would mean he’d fall into a special category like General Scott Vincent…”
Aurora thrusts forward. Vincent, an overnight sensation and the general of Celesta, has a high attack power in Almeida’s “Sword Saint Chronicle,” but he doesn’t actually use it. But, “While Vincent does have a high attack power, I feel like that old man could hit hard enough to hold his own. That kind of attack power isn’t just about skill or technique; it’s something more fundamental.” “…Fundamental?” Aurora and Tethys look confused, while Almeida seems to understand somewhat. It was an understanding only those who had been fighting for a long time could share. “But anyway, there should be articles on Vincent and the others in “The East-West Heroes of Celesta,” right? …Oh, it’s from last December. You keep these things well.” “I bought this at Talc recently.” “Oh, I see, that time. Let me take a look.”
──Celesta’s “sword”! Known as the continent’s strongest, the king of lightning——
“Overnight Thunderbolt,” Scott Vincent (41), Special Envoy General Belongs to the Celesta Special Lightning Brigade • Power ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ • Speed ☆☆☆☆★ • Technique ☆☆☆☆☆☆ • Overall Evaluation
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The absolute power of attack that symbolizes Celesta, the strongest Org warrior. While his tremendous strength is impressive, what truly stands out are his abilities named after lightning attacks. The rare condition called “Elecone,” which some Orgs possess and allows them to handle electricity, usually only numbs whoever they touch at best. However, his ability far surpasses this, allowing him to freely unleash lightning from his horns, and depending on the weather, he can even strike down those around him from the sky. No enemy can defend against such power; if they could, his prideful double axes would cleave them in two. The fear of him appearing anywhere aboard a flying dragon is not only a deterrent to maintaining domestic security but also makes neighboring countries hesitate.
By the way, he’s still single. He says that for a wife, either a cat or fox beast person would be nice, but apparently it’s quite difficult to find someone willing to deal with his fur standing on end.
──Celesta’s Shield! The terror of an invincible man being there──
“Steel Overnight” Ryo Amatsushima Special Envoy General (38) Overnight/Celesta Special Lightning Brigade Member • Power ★★★★ • Speed ★★★ • Technique ★★★ • Overall Evaluation ★★★★★★★★★☆
To be honest, he’s not much of a combatant. However, the reason his overall evaluation is abnormally high lies in his extraordinary vitality. There’s an anecdote where a military doctor lost it and said “Either you’re undead or a holy beast,” but despite having experienced at least 137 incidents that would normally be fatal, he stands up as if nothing happened. He’s been crushed between battering rams and rocks. He’s been stabbed repeatedly by spear units. His fortress was burned down. He’s been buried alive. He fought General Vincent and got smashed with a double axe. He nearly drowned in the Quica Sea. And so on. But in almost all cases, he survives while covered in blood, shouting something like “Damn that hurts!” To his enemies, he must be nothing but terror. Even at the minimum level of an Ace Knight, he has some offensive power, and once he’s thrown into battle, enemy forces are bound to fall into chaos. In a different sense from General Vincent, he’s considered a trump card, truly a secret weapon of command headquarters. He is well-known.
──Here comes the monster bird! What does the blue bird bring—
General Clay Kingfisher (“Blue Gale”) (42)
Master Knight/Celesta Western Army Division • Power ☆☆☆☆☆☆ • Speed ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ • Technique ☆☆☆☆☆☆ • Overall Evaluation ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The Birdman race is rare even in Celesta.
However, despite that, there are many Birdman Ace Knights in the Celesta army. He is one of the most famous and strongest among them.
Though he’s a Birdman, his weapon is his powerful legs, and he only uses his wings for turning and jumping maneuvers. However, this tactic allows him to move quickly and unpredictably, which is quite reasonable for a Birdman.
His movements are like a storm, making it difficult even for Ace Knights to catch up with him. There’s an anecdote about the Master Knight exam where three Ace Knights didn’t even get a chance to strike at him.
However, he’s said to be rather showy and somewhat careless. Is that because he’s a bird?
“Hahaha! That’s awesome! The guy who wrote this must be scary as hell! I’ll take it to King Fisher next time.” “Aren’t you going to stop? It might get torn apart.” “Oh, yeah. That’s totally possible.” Sieg laughs loudly while flapping his legs around. Aurora makes a face of annoyance. “By the way, Captain Becker is getting teased too.”

“Daydream” Sieg Becker, Special Agent Captain (40) Ace Knight / Celesta Special Intelligence Corps ・Power ☆☆☆☆☆ ・Speed ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ・Technique ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
・Overall Evaluation ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
A genius who passed the Ace Knight exam at age 12 is now forty. Time is merciless. He has numerous feats of arms to his name, having conquered legendary monsters and ruins alike. His speed is said to be unmatched on the continent, even surpassing Affilm’s “Dance Lance” Almeida and Trot’s “Whirlwind” Abel Dingir. However, he fights like an assassin, using knives and traps extensively, which raises questions about his true combat prowess in a real fight. Recently, it seems he was caught by an Orga woman. His infidelity was immediately exposed. He’s quite the flashy man even in private.
“Hey, who wrote this? I can’t think of anyone else but someone with a grudge against me!” “I’m sorry to hear that, but if you break it, please be sure to get another one.”
「…uggghhh」 Sieg reluctantly put down the book he had been gripping so tightly that it was about to tear. Tetheus, who had been chuckling, suddenly turned his attention towards Almeida. “By the way, is Abel Dingil in there too? I’ve been wondering about him since earlier.” “This one has a section on him.” Almeida quickly flipped through “The Sword Saint’s Tale” he was holding. “I had noticed that people were comparing me to him rather oddly for the past decade or so.”
──Knight of the Trotting Speed Record──
“Wind” Abel Dingil Former member of the 7th unit of the Sword Saint Brigade, half-wolf beastman.
The Sword Saint Brigade tends to favor overall teamwork and coordination over individuals with exceptional abilities. But he possesses both of these qualities while also having some of the highest individual capabilities on the continent. His mother being a wolf beastman likely contributed to his bloodline, but even so, few can match his agility, not even among beasts. While half-humanoids are rare in the Sword Saint Brigade, he is one of the few exceptions and stands out in various ways. His swordsmanship resembles that of his master, “The Eagle of Schranz,” Joseph Bay’s hit-and-run tactics. Some say his physical prowess has already surpassed his teacher’s combat abilities, making him an outstanding knight. In the previous war, Celesta effectively utilized many half-humanoids. Perhaps with this man leading the way, Trot will soon recognize and use their strength as well.

Depending on how he uses his magic and Wind Slash Sword, he could become pretty formidable. I can’t tell since he hasn’t been in a tight spot recently, but you guys from Tethys haven’t shown your full strength to anyone yet.” “Eh…” “I can see through your safe driving style. Your trump card isn’t necessarily bad, but if you don’t use it in training, chances are you won’t be able to pull it out during a real fight. Don’t die from overconfidence. And as for Naris… well, she smells like Smisson.” “What?” “Hold on there, Sieg Becker! Naris hasn’t even started with Andy…” “Calm down, Aurora Ten Commander, Lance Dancer. I’m not sniffing out her scent or anything like that.” Sieg shrugged his shoulders. “I get the feeling that if you push Naris to the limit, she’ll start dripping sweat little by little. She’s a different kind of bottomless pit compared to Tethys Knight Captain. …Same goes for Smisson. He isn’t really all that great in terms of ability or brains. But when it comes to what he’s actually done, I can see why the elves treated him so well. In certain cases, Naris might end up doing something interesting too.”
“Mm…” “I see…” Tetes looked a little dissatisfied, and Aurora was deep in thought. … “I’m not that good.” Angelos appeared out of nowhere and covered himself with a towel. “What the hell are you doing?” “For one thing, I hate weird books like this. Please don’t give me any nicknames! Andy laughed at me!” “Whatever…” “That’s why I’m telling you! I don’t want to become famous for some weird reason!”
The swordsmen are chattering loudly.
“Well, it’s fine if Andy loves me a lot even if I’m not strong,” she says with a cheerful tone. “Hmm. Well, as a female slave that would be the correct way to think.” “I wonder when he’ll come back…” Selen, Aelina, and Maya all sip their tea together.
