Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru II

Beryl Gardinant has gone from an obscure countryside sword instructor to a special mentor for the kingdom's knights, yet he still struggles to accept the reputation surrounding him. As Mewi continues her magical studies and tries to find her place among her classmates, Beryl keeps supporting old and new pupils alike, whether the problem is a training exercise or a fight with very real consequences.

Each new challenge tests a different side of his skill and judgment. Beryl gradually realizes that the students he once protected are becoming capable fighters who now stand beside him, not behind him. No matter how often people call him a Sword Saint, he still wants the same simple thing: to do his duty well without losing his humility or the people who matter to him.
