Synopsis

Beryl Gardenant is a humble middle-aged swordsmanship instructor who runs a dojo in the countryside. His days of striving to reach the pinnacle of his swordsmanship are long gone, and he is living a leisurely life, coming to terms with his own abilities. One day, after ten years, one of his former students, Aleucia, who has now risen to the position of head of the Royal Knights, comes to visit him. “I recommended you as a special instructor for the Knights, and you have been approved.” Beryl had decided that she would be happy to spend the rest of her life quietly in the countryside, but her fate is about to change dramatically! Life in the city. A reunion with her former students, who have grown up so much. Meeting new allies and powerful opponents. “It’s too much for an old man like me who’s past his prime…” Beryl thinks, but after a long period of diligent training, his sword skills have reached such an incredible level that he has been dubbed the “Countryside Sword Saint”──
