About this ebook

Self-proclaimed “old country bumpkin” Beryl Gardinant has finally settled into his new role as a special instructor for the Liberion Order. After breaking his sword in the fight against Zeno Grable, he seeks out a new blade and stumbles upon yet another of his former students—a skilled blacksmith named Baldur, who promises to forge a custom sword using the monster’s remains. Just one problem: this leaves Beryl without a weapon at his side. One night when Beryl is walking home alone, a young thief takes advantage of his unarmed state and launches a truly unexpected attack—fire magic! And when Beryl consults the commander of the magic corps about this wizard thief, he becomes embroiled in a plot of national proportions. Can Beryl help this young criminal turn their life around? And will any of his pupils finally realize that their “master” is nothing but a normal old man?!

Can't say I appreciate the writing style. It was not bad but not great as well. The MC like blabbering so much that it was difficult to feel excited in battle, diff. to feel sad in sad scene, etc. It was like reading a textbook. One line dialogue, then the MC would go so far to give his opinion, explanation, etc sometimes for 1..2.. even 3 pages that even 1 act often took several pages. Imagine you watch anime with your friend, then every 1 sentence, they pause it and start blabbering their opinions, explanation, etc. A 20-ish minutes episode become 2-hour long. It was disrupting the flow and engagement to reader. Because it's not only a description of environment or condition or situation the MC had in, but it has his opinion & explanation that most of the times go unnecessary further and I am still annoyed. Description of one parry of blade can go 2 pages in a battle.

Well written although repeated references to the old man are way over the top. Otherwise an excellent novel.
