Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

Chapter 3: Our First Prince Has Changed!

‘This is really hard.’

Eurius felt awkward as he looked at the teacher in front of him.

“Please open page 35. According to this…”

The daily life of the princes was a repetition of intense education without a break.

They had to acquire all the professional knowledge related to politics, administration, military, and other aspects of governance before they turned twenty.

On top of that, due to the empire’s characteristic of worshipping martial arts, the princes also had to receive professional knight training.

These processes were very strict and difficult.

But Eurius’s problem was not that.

‘It’s so inefficient to learn what I already know.’

That’s right.

He was someone who had been an emperor in his previous life.

There was no reason why he wouldn’t know the knowledge that a fifteen-year-old boy learned as a prince.

And annoyingly, the education time had increased considerably.

‘Did Father provoke Marius again?’

It was not uncommon at this point in his previous life.

Marius’s persistence, spurred by the emperor’s encouragement, was so annoying that even he shuddered, but eventually all the necessary knowledge for being an emperor went into his head.

He later realized Marius’s wisdom and was grateful for it.

At least he avoided becoming an ignorant and incompetent emperor.

“Your Highness? Are you daydreaming?”

The teacher caught him spacing out like a ghost.

The teacher who taught the princes had absolute authority over education except for the emperor’s orders.

Of course, he couldn’t dare to punish or hit the prince, but he could at least report to his superior, Marius, and cut some of his precious rest time as a penalty.

“Then please solve problem number 2 on page 38.”

He thought he had become a little more diligent lately, but this happened soon.

If he reports it, Marius will jump up and down.

The teacher sighed in advance as he imagined Marius’s face.

But the result was completely different from what he expected.

“Here you go.”

The First Prince handed over a paper with a solution written on it with a nonchalant expression.

“Th-this is correct.”

The teacher’s mouth opened wide at the unexpected result.

He gave him some difficult problems from time to time because his attitude in class was not very good, but the First Prince solved them as if he knew them from the beginning.

The teacher looked back and forth between the first prince and the workbook with a stunned expression.

‘Our first prince has changed!’

This rumor began to spread among the teachers.

Marius couldn’t help but hear this rumor.

Administration teacher Count Lebron said,

“If I exaggerate a bit, he is much better than our new recruits in the administration department. He even answered without hesitation when I asked him something related to practical work.”

Military science teacher Viscount Gilbert said,

“I received a report that he submitted as homework, and I thought I was going to faint. If this is really written by a fifteen-year-old boy, then all the imperial cadets who have completed regular commander training should bang their heads and commit suicide.”

Swordsmanship instructor Knight Heinz said,

“He showed interest before, but the lack of perseverance typical of those who grew up in luxury was a problem. But lately, he has shown unprecedented diligence and completed all the basic physical training and simple movement teaching processes. There should be no problem with the basic knight course.”

Etiquette teacher Countess Grant said,

“He became proficient in both dancing and manners all of a sudden! I think he can escort a lady right away. Hoho, is this thanks to my love education?”

Praise for the prince suddenly showing excellent grades in all subjects began to run rampant.

“Ugh.”

“That can’t be true.”

Marius gritted his teeth as he muttered.

He had been in charge of the first prince’s education since he was a snotty kid.Read lat𝙚st chapters at nov(𝒆)lbin.com Only

The first prince was not a stupid person, but he was definitely not a genius either.

‘Let’s say swordsmanship or etiquette.’

Physical activities can be done with perseverance and effort.

He also felt that the prince had become slightly more diligent lately.

He could think that it was because of some change of mind that he followed the curriculum well. And wasn’t the imperial family famous for being martial artists?

Swordsmanship was a problem because he was lazy, not because he lacked talent.

‘But other subjects are impossible.’

Even if he conceded a hundred times, subjects like military science and administration were absurdly impossible.

And the timing was perfect.

As soon as he drastically strengthened the first prince’s education, this happened!

He called each teacher and questioned them, but Marius could only come to one conclusion.

“Some bastard did something useless to His Highness!”

Someone’s hand must have touched it. 

In other words, it was cheating.

Marius was furious.

While he was doing that, Eurius was receiving swordsmanship training.

The basics of swordsmanship are strength and stamina.

If you don’t have enough strength and stamina, no matter how great your swordsmanship is, it’s useless.

The basic of swordsmanship training was also physical training first.

“Huff, huff!”

Sweat poured down like rain.

This was a physical training ground specially prepared for the imperial guards stationed in the palace.

Eurius ran around the training ground, squeezing out his strength as if he was breastfeeding.

After running, he did 100 push-ups and sit-ups in a row.

‘I didn’t expect to have such poor stamina.’

He didn’t get tired of doing this much training when he was an emperor.

He was an emperor, but he moved around the battlefield during the war and the civil war.

He had to cling to swordsmanship to protect himself in the midst of several crises and battles.

Fortunately, his talent was excellent.

‘The only thing I beat Leon at was this.’

His swordsmanship was one of the best among the knights who followed him.

If he didn’t have that much power, he wouldn’t have been able to fight a boring battle for years, even though his power was clearly inferior.

‘First of all, I have to build up the strength to protect myself.’

The first goal is to regain his past level. If he could only recover his past strength, it would be hard to harm him with shallow tricks like assassination.

But his real goal was not just that.

“Stat window!”

When he first opened this ‘stat window’, Eurius was shocked.

‘Could it be that the players could actually restart their lives?’

The Scharnos Empire, the continent’s first country, was founded by heroes who called themselves [players] about 200 years ago.

Due to their bloodline, the imperial family often had special abilities.

He didn’t have any such talent, of course. But he gained this ability when he came back to the past.

Eurius breathed heavily and looked at the knight who was swinging his sword in one corner of the training ground.

Eurius could now view the profile of the person he observed, which he called the ‘stat window’.

He was so surprised at first that he almost fainted, but now he was used to observing the ‘stats’ of the people around him.

‘Heinz is quite good among the imperial guards.’

The imperial guards were the best military force in the empire, but only the emperor had the authority to move them.

But due to the aristocrats’ scheme, the imperial guard remained absolutely neutral and did not follow his orders.

‘How desperate was I, the emperor, to have often found myself swinging a sword on the front lines?’

He recalled bitterly, and soon noticed that Heinz, who had caught his gaze, approached him with a smile.

“You’ve finished your stamina training. You had a lot of tasks today, but you did splendidly.”

Heinz was in his mid-thirties.

With his gentle eyes and friendly appearance, he was one of the few people who took care of Eurius in his previous life. 

He patiently educated him with a smiling face, no matter how much he threw tantrums or got annoyed in his immature days.

It was quite a hardship to put up with the whims of a child, even if he was the first prince, for someone who was a knight of the imperial guard.

In fact, it was a ridiculous thing to ask someone of his status in the empire, who should have devoted his time to personal training, to take care of the emperor’s errands.

‘Wasn’t Heinz from a commoner background?’

Heinz was a commoner, but he graduated at the top of the knight academy with his talent and rose to the guard knights in just ten years. He was an outstanding person.

But even in an empire that valued merit over anything else, he couldn’t completely ignore the nobles’ influence.

There were quite a few knights who were lower in rank than him, but he was assigned to educate the notorious first prince. It was likely that he was pushed back by his origin.

But he never showed any resentment in front of him.

‘I have to take good care of him in this life. Or maybe I should make him my subordinate!’

As if he knew what he was thinking, Heinz smiled brightly and instructed him for the next training.

“Alright, now it’s time for a hundred swings. Watch me demonstrate and follow along.”

Eurius swung his sword with all his might, listening to Heinz’ cheerful voice.

As he swung his sword, a voice that only Eurius could hear sometimes rang in his head.
