If they cannot have bread give them cake

The next day after waking up from the Mikhail was presented with a cheque of 20 gold duckets.

'System: How much is 20 gold duckets?'

[Host 20 gold duckets sum up to 20 million dollars in your previous world]

"Holy shit just how rich is my dad giving millions like it's freebies.

Well I hope this money would be able to appease the villagers."

'Today is also my sword training class. I hope I don't have to do too much work.'

Looking at the practice sword that also had been placed with the cheque Mikhail started to feel sleepy again.

'No no I have to do it or else I would miss out on the system's juicy gossip.'

Using his father's scandalous life as motivation Mikhail finally decided to pick up the sword.

Today he was determined to be known as the once in a thousand years talent.

"Just wait system I would become a sword god and squeeze till I get the last drop of gossip on which noble got cucked by whom."

With fiery passion and determination in his eyes Mikhail entered the training grounds of the knights.

His appearance in the training grounds made the entire training grounds silent. Everything stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"Isn't he the decadent son of the count what is doing here? 

Has he come here to look for trouble?

If that's so we definitely teach him a good lesson. He has to understand that he wouldn't be able to do as he pleases infront of us knights."

There were a multitude of voices voicing their opinions. This made Mikhail troubled ,he had hoped that this mission would go smoothly and he would be able to complete the mission by swinging his sword a few times.

But looking at the righteous crowd in front of him which was looking at him like he was someone abomination of hell, made Mikhail understand this mission was going to be far from simple.

He didn't have to wait for long as the head trainer approached him. Looking at the handsome good for nothing young master in front of him the head trainer became resentful in his heart.

'Hmp this waste thinks he can learn swordplay? He is only desecrating our holy ground. I should teach this bastard a lesson.'

'Hey old man, at least try to hide the contempt in your eyes, it's giving your thoughts away.'

He definitely was going to give me a hard time.

'System, why don't you help? I'm definitely going to beat up these barbarians.'

[Host once and great man said no pain no gain you should also adhere to the teachings]

Mikhail was really speechless at the system.

"Young master, since you like to learn the sword, it is better to start with defense. Afterall swordplay was made to defend oneself. 

It is also very easy and requires the least amount of training, it would also build your foundation."

Even though his words were respectful there was a tint of sadism in them.

'What do you mean by build the basics you only want to beat me up.' 

Thinking that Mikhail looked at the blunt sword in his trainer's hand, it was definitely going to hurt if I got hit by it.

"Should we get started then young master."

"I am still new to swordplay, why don't you show me some moves before we get started."

"Ofcourse, after that I would personally train you with a mock spare."

"Eh shouldn't I start with sparring with someone who is in the same skill level as me."

" That's impossible, everyone here is at least adept or intermediate experts in swordplay and in order to improve you should spar with someone who is best, only by training with the best you would be able to break through."

'Damn you, you think of me as a pompous young master and now who is being arrogant?

What two faced man.'

Mr trainer called over one of the apprentices and started demonstrating the foot work required for defensive swordplay.

It was fairly simple and didn't take much time to go over the basics.

"Now then are you ready for the mock battle. There might be some injuries but it is also pain that makes us grow so don't give up easily."

"Let's get started", Mikhail could see the obvious grin on the trainer's face but he didn't even bother with he was just too lazy to waste anymore of his time on this stupid system quest.

Seeing Mikhail's calm posture the trainer's grin became even larger,'hmp kid act almighty now, on this training ground not even your daddy can save you.'

He took a posture ready to strike Mikhail. With a brisk swipe of his blunt sword he aimed straight for Mikhail's openings.

However something happened that none of them including the system could predict. Before the sword could hit Mikhail it was blocked ??! 

Normally this shouldn't have been possible even if you know things it wouldn't be possible to implement without experience.

After the initial shock subsided the trainer got back his footing and started attacking with multiple sword strikes.

*Swish* *Swish* *Swish*

But all of them were either deflected or blocked by Mikhail.

"Hey hey what is happening how could he block and deflect so many attacks. 

I am only able to deflect 5 of them at most."

[Host how are you able to do this]

This was the first time that the system took the initiative to talk to Mikhail without being asked a question.

Trainer was also dumbfounded by the sequence of events. He even started doubting his own skills.

To add salt to the injury, all the blocking techniques that were used by Mikhail were demonstrated by him. 

'How is this possible he is using all the moves that I had shown him so it is not that he had training beforehand but that he learned everything that was shown to him.

What a monster.'

The trainer tried his best to hit him at least one time. But Mikhail had enough with a clean swipe of his sword he was able to knock the sword out of the trainer's hand.

"!!!!!!!", the entire place was in uproar as the sword fell out of the hands of the trainer.

"Hey system, the quest is over."

[Mission: Train with the sword 

Status: Complete 

Reward: Well built body and swordsmanship skills]

Satisfied with the result Mikhail walked away without a care for anyone in the world. 

Nobody even notice him leave, coming to the hallways of the castle he was greeted by Adel.

"Adel there is something that I want you to do."

"Yes master?"

"Let me know if there are any problems in the village."

"Young master you need not worry yourself with affairs of the village."

Adel had rushed to Mikhail after hearing that he had participated in the knight's training. There was a high chance that those uncivilized hooligans had beaten his young master.

But when he found Mikhail there were no injuries on him at all, rather he seemed more fit than ever. And was also asking him questions about the problems of the village all of a sudden this made him momentarily speechless.

"Just tell me Adel. I don't have a lot of time to chat with you."

"W..Well there is a food shortage in the village since there was a crop failure."

"Okay then" Mikhail gave him the check that his father had arranged for and said," buy them some cake with it."

"?!!"

'This would do for the mission right system?'
