From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman follows Beryl Gardenant, a modest sword instructor who runs a small dojo in a remote, rural village far from the center of the world. He once harbored grand ambitions of becoming a legendary swordsman in his youth, but those dreams faded long ago into the quiet rhythm of countryside life. Everything changes when a renowned former student suddenly appears at his doorstep with news that shakes him to his core—Beryl has been chosen as a special instructor for the Liberion Order's knights. Thrust into an unfamiliar world, he makes his way to the capital, where he crosses paths once again with students he trained long ago. These aren't ordinary people—they've grown into elite knights, powerful wizards, and top-ranked adventurers. Yet despite their remarkable achievements, they all seem eager to learn from this self-described ordinary old man. What could they possibly hope to gain from someone who considers himself nothing special?
