Classic overview
Beryl Gardenant, a middle-aged swordsman running a dojo in the backwaters, lives a quiet life, until Allucia, former student and Commander of the Royal Order of Knights, appears! Beryl’s life is about to change dramatically! City life. Old students. New friends and formidable foes. It’s all too much. But after years of training, he has mad skills, and he’s been dubbed “the backwater swordmaster.”

Beryl is a middle-aged swordmaster running a quiet dojo in the countryside, living a peaceful life until Allucia, a former student and commander of the Royal Knight Order, shows up and turns everything upside down.

If you liked watching an overpowered character quietly deal with chaos in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime or enjoyed the fish-out-of-water energy of Delicious in Dungeon, this scratches the same itch.
