From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman

Beryl Gardenant, a middle-aged swordsman who runs a small dojo in a quiet rural town, leads a peaceful life-until Allucia, his former student and now the Commander of the Royal Order of Knights, suddenly returns. His calm existence is upended as he’s thrust into city life, reunites with past students, and encounters both allies and dangerous enemies. It’s overwhelming, but his years of training have honed his legendary skills, earning him the nickname "the backwater swordmaster."
