From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman: My Hotshot Disciples Are All Grown Up Now, and They Won't Leave Me Alone Volume 2

From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman (Novel) #2

by Shigeru Sagazaki, Hikoki (translator), Tetsuhiro Nabeshima (illustrator)

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 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?!

[Serenity13]

The protagonist isn't OP, characters and their actions are somewhat realistic, the book is easy and fun to read. It's a really good series, probably one of the best if we are talking about fantasy light novels.

[Al Clark]

Liked all the characters. Liked the fact that the MC isn’t OP. Couple of things are over explained but generally I think it’s a good book. I’m looking forward to the next one

[Andy Febrico Bintoro]

The story begun to introduce magic elements. It's more colorful now than the first volume with dungeon and other adventure related elements.

Fun trope-fluff.
