From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman
ActionAnime2025Rated 6.5
Beryl Gardinant, an aging sword teacher in a backwater village, is sure he has nothing special to offer. Then he is called to the capital to train knights, most of them his old students.

Nothing scheduled
Is it for me?
Cozy fantasy for people who like a hero who thinks he peaked long ago, with more reunions than fights. Beryl keeps meeting someone he takes for a stranger, only to learn they studied under him and now idolize him. When he spars, the lesson is angles, momentum and what the pommel and hilt can do.
Before you start
Mostly episodic, and the first few episodes each bring in a new former student before the cast settles into its regular mix.
2 seasons, 24 episodes, 30 min each, about 12 hours so far
