The MC is the sword teacher of the hero. He wants to become an adventurer (or knight, I dont remember since I've stopped reading long ago) but unable to do so since he lacked mana, an essential component in the world. He became the hero's sword teacher not because any major reason, just because he is their childhood friends. And it wasnt because he wanted to, or was forced to. It was all just a coincidence.
Time moves on and the MC still hasn't changed much, or any at all. His only change was the increase in proficiency in using the sword. But even this was inconsistent. Why? At one point, he was fighting with a sorcerer who hurled magic towards him and he shot it down with a throwing knife. Blah3 explanation on how he achieved that. But after that, he cant use it anymore, or more like the author may have forgotten about the setting. He is supposed to be unrivaled in the sword since even the so called sword saint is below him. But he is still weak as f*ck since he doesnt have magic? This frustrates me to no end. There was even a time he had been secretly assisted the hero where he lost against the enemy on horseback, WHILE using the sword with the enemy too using it. Like, the f*ck. How could you write about a whole story centering on him being the hero's sword teacher and showing he is proficient in the sword and throwing it out in the next.
