Don’t know history? Can’t make sense of physics, chemistry, and mechanics? Can you only firmly hold a blade in your hand? Welcome to fifteenth-century France!

The trainer of the national fencing team, run over by a truck, awakens in the body of the bastard Jean d’Armagnac, vicomte de Lavardain and Rochebrune—an illegitimate son of Count Jean V d’Armagnac, one of the last feudal rulers by the grace of God, not by the grace of the king of France. His father is killed, his mother is in a monastery, his ancestral lands have been seized by the King of France, and a hunt is declared for the bastard. What is the main character to do in the Middle Ages, when he doesn’t have enough natural-scientific and historical knowledge to serve as a “progressor”? The bastard decides to plunge into the era headfirst and win himself fame in the only way possible: with a steady hand and a blade.
