What Is From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman About?
The series follows **Beryl Gardenant**, a modest sword instructor who runs a small dojo in a remote village.

His quiet life changes when former student **Allucia Citrus**, now an accomplished knight, brings him to the capital to serve as a special instructor.
From there, Beryl gradually discovers that the skills he considers ordinary are anything but.
The anime is based on the light novel series written by **Shigeru Sagazaki** and illustrated by **Tetsuhiro Nabeshima**. The broader franchise, including its manga adaptations and spin-offs, has surpassed **11 million copies in circulation**.
