I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 103
103fury
By the time I finished eating, I knew exactly what time it was..
Today is Friday lunch of the first week of the retreat..
That was the time when the fledgling Yeongdo guys were slowly getting used to the retreat..
As I sequentially thought about what would happen in the future,…….
It's starting tomorrow when various incidents begin to unfold in earnest..
First, the rankings of the leaders are announced on Saturday morning, and in the afternoon, there is individual subject selection and group formation..
In the evening, it is time for each group to use points to prepare for the exam..
And finally, the long-awaited Sunday-.
The second special test begins where a catastrophe occurs..
In other words, the fact that the regression point is Friday means that there is still time before the incident occurs..
Of course, you can't waste your time..
“Luan, where are you going??”
“Let’s get some air for a moment. go first.”
“Oh yeah.”
After sending Evan and Charis off first, I headed to the backyard of Yeongdo-dong alone..
I wanted to organize my thoughts alone for a moment..
I sat in a quiet corner and looked blankly at the sky..
I'm still dazed and it took me a while to get used to the somehow unrealistic feeling..
‘Tonight was the hunting teacher's sparring time, and the afternoon class... What was it?’
100Maybe it was because it happened a while ago, but I couldn't remember the details..
I thought it would be okay because if it was something really important, I would have remembered it..
That's the moment.
In the backyard where I was alone, two spirits with strange behavior appeared..
“…you.”
“Lu, Luan?”
Coincidentally, they both looked familiar, but one was Skull, who still had a pale complexion..
The other one is Charon's colleague? friend? anyway… This is Zeros, the heir to a rich merchant family..
I waved my hand and said hello..
“hi.”
“Oh, hi.”
“…….”
Skull responded sheepishly, and Zeros turned around with an expressionless face..
“Let's go somewhere else.”
Looking at the back of his head that looked like he was about to leave, I kindly gave him some advice..
“You can just do it here.”
“what?”
“Point trading. That's not what I came here for.?”
“……!”
A ripple spread across Zeros' face, but this guy quickly adjusted his expression and spoke..
“…I don't know what you're talking about-.”
“how did you know!?”
Zeros glared at Skull, and only then did Skull cover his mouth..
“I'm sorry…….”
“…ha.”
Zeros' eyes looked at me..
“Since when did you know?”
“100a day ago.”
“under.”
Zeros snorted..
They said they got along well together, and this guy's speaking style was just like Charon's. The atmosphere was similar.
“If you don't want to talk, that's okay. But it's already too late.”
Zeros said, twisting the corner of his mouth..
“You don't know, but we've already accumulated more points than you can even imagine. No matter how much you struggle, it's hard to close this score gap-.”
“What with only 31 points? That's still worth it.”
“……!”
I giggled looking at Zeros' surprised face..
“Caron scored 43 points. Was that guy named Shinbar 28 points or 9 points?.”
“you you… how do you do that…….”
Of course, these are the scores that will be announced tomorrow, and there are still classes left, so the difference in detailed scores may be about 1 to 2 points.…….
I wiped the smile off my face and slowly got to the point..
“The reason for trading in the backyard is to avoid the instructor's eyes, right? In other words, I have some idea of where the communication crystals are located. Can you teach me a bit??”
“why me.”
“If you don't like it, trade it..”
Zeros reacted slightly to these words..
“…transaction?”
“huh. I'll live with points.”
Then they both look at me with surprised faces..
“I want to buy it…….”
“why. Charon said not to do business with me.?”
“That means... Did not do it. Even if they did, there is no reason to follow. 'Cause I'm better than this guy when it comes to deals.”
“Ohh…….”
It looks like he wasn't just acting as Charon's subordinate after all..
“I asked because I didn't understand. Luan Badnicker, weren't you aiming for the top spot??”
“That's right, but I'm not asking for 10 or 20 points for this..”
“That said, the points you spend at this time may prevent you from ranking..”
“I'm worried about you?”
Zeros looked at me with a puzzled face and said.
“… A merchant who only pursues immediate profit will never be able to escape the second class. The important thing is to understand the essence of the transaction..”
That's a cool thing to say.
“There is no reason to call it essential. I don't think there will be much danger if I just throw away a few points here..”
“…You have great confidence. Is it because he’s a bad nicker??”
I felt the emotion contained in those words and asked.
“Do you hate Badknicker??”
“Are you seriously asking this? Among the great families, you can be counted on one hand..”
“hmm…….”
That tidyer?
“Then you refuse.?”
Unexpectedly, I shake my head at these words..
“no. You can't bring your personal feelings into business..”
“…….”
This was business..
“…3point. Then I'll tell you all the locations of the communication crystals I found..”
“good. The deal is done.”
I held out my hand as a joke..
I expected this guy to reject me due to his personality, but surprisingly, he accepted me without hesitation..
As I felt the firm palm of my hand for a merchant, I realized one thing..
At least Zeros will never mess around with deals..
* * *
The identity of the afternoon class that never occurred to me was the teacher's theory lecture..
Heretic Questioner Junian.
A woman who was covered in blood was standing on a podium and giving a class in a dry voice..
“… So, the Church of the Sun is an offshoot of the 72 Churches, and is treated as a state religion in the empire. In fact, His Majesty the current Emperor was personally baptized by the bishop of the Church of the Sun.-.”
“…….”
I somehow felt like I was dreaming.
In this case, on the contrary, perhaps the 100 days spent in Yeongsan were actually a dream??
Kuuk…….
I erased useless thoughts as I felt the cool touch of the coins in my pocket..
‘…The Heretic Questioner.’
I thought about the conversation I had with Junian..
Putting aside the little things, she was a very quick-witted woman..
In the end, I ended up dancing on Juan's palm, but if you ask me if I'm a bad brain, that's not the case..
This means that there is no harm in attracting talent..
I pretended to concentrate in class and planned various strategies..
Practically speaking, this is the last time you can turn your head..
First of all, the priest is the culprit of all disasters..
I assumed a one-on-one encounter with that guy..
‘dismissed.’
100Through training, I became strong enough, but I was not in a state where I could guarantee victory..
Junian and Luke are not the only ones who died in vain in their past lives..
Priest Juan was also killed by the devil without even being able to reveal half of his power..
I don't know if the man is hiding any other means, but he wants to fight alone..
That's not brave, that's stupid.
‘Should I tell Assad? The priest is called Juan.?’
That archmage would be able to sort out the situation in an instant.…….
This too is too risky.
I don't think that difficult person will simply believe what I say, and if you ask me how I identified him, I'm at a loss for excuses..
‘hmm… Mmm…….’
I was struggling with my writing and used various strategies to write, then erased them repeatedly..
“Luan Badnicker, 1 extra point.”
“…hmm?”
I raised my head at the sudden remark..
Junian met his gaze and said.
“I like seeing your passionate attitude.”
“…….”
unexpected benefit.
After that, I started to notice a bit, so I had to act a little and pretend I was paying attention in class..
And finally, after afternoon classes, it was dinner time..
I put food on the plate and find a seat..
‘…….’
The back of the head with orange hair was visible..
It was a farm.
I went and sat down in front of him..
“hi.”
“huh? It's Luan.?”
Palm looked at me with wide eyes..
I saw that face for a moment.
The scared, dead figure overlapped slightly and quickly disappeared..
“I have some business to do?”
“There is nothing in particular.”
“I see.”
“By the way, you like vegetables?”
On the farm's food tray, what should I say?.
it was full of grass.
Wouldn’t this be what the eastern prairies I’ve never been to look like?.
Pam said with a big smile..
“huh. Actually, I can't eat meat. No matter what I do, I can't get used to it..”
You were a vegetarian..
I had no idea.
To be precise, I didn't want to know.
I had eaten with the Yeongdo guys about 15 times in about a week, so it was actually a fact that I could have realized just by looking around a little..
“i like meat.”
“Even if you don't say it, it looks like that.”
“okay?”
From then on, I talked to Pam about trivial matters..
I don't know why.
However, when I found Pam's body in the cabin, I regretted that I had known a little more about this guy..
Usually regret comes sooner or later, but I was lucky enough to escape that situation..
“My dad understands me, but my mom is too stubborn. Honestly, it's sad to see her still trying to act like she's a noblewoman.…….”
During our brief conversation, I found out about Palm..
This guy had one older sister..
He comes from a fallen family similar to Evan..
It seems like he wants to open a publishing company in the future..
The reason I participated in the retreat was to build connections in preparation for that time..
“So, please arrange a relationship with Hector later. As a bonus, Seren!”
“I was targeting those two..”
“These two people are at the top of my networking bucket list! This is just a guess, but it's clear that those two will become big in the future..”
Palm's eyes lit up, she glanced at me and said:.
“In addition, Charon, Zeros, Charles, and Evan…….”
Palm, who was counting with his fingers, suddenly pointed at me and shouted..
“And you too!”
“me?”
“huh. My guess is not wrong. Ah haha.”
Are you saying this out of courtesy??
Strangely, I didn't feel that way, so I laughed too..
At that time, Palm quickly adjusted her expression and shrugged her shoulders..
“omg… It's your fiancé..”
Seren?
“I was scolded. There's no misunderstanding between us.?”
“So, I'm your fiancé..”
He's not the kind of guy who cares about that in the first place..
Seren returned the tray and calmly left the restaurant..
Before, I would have thought that he was still showing off his attitude and not even looking at his surroundings.-.
If she had known in advance about the disaster that was about to happen, Seren's mind might have been filled with thoughts of preventing it right now..
Maybe you don't have the nerve to devote to other things..
‘…It's my real name.’
I briefly remembered Seren's will, but it's a waste of time anyway. It's not like I can ask right now..
I also put the food on the plate into my mouth and got up..
* * *
After dinner, sparring time took place..
The strategy that was devised, revised, and finally adopted all day today can be seen as starting now..
Today, among the young people wandering around looking for an easy partner, I stood still..
Immediately, a man with a heavy expression approaches and speaks to me..
“Are you going to fight with me again today??”
The hunting teacher looked at me and asked.
Even though it was a formality of asking, judging by his expression and energy, he didn't seem to think that I would refuse..
“Sure.”
“hmm. good night.”
The hunting teacher smiled with satisfaction... We immediately prepared to spar..
With a gap of about ten steps, we glared at each other..
“…….”
I saw the well-trained body of a hunting teacher..
Although he died in vain in his previous life, the hunting teacher is clearly a man of great skill and an expert..
So let's be honest…….
I was secretly waiting for this sparring.
The hunting teacher is a perfect opponent for his return after 100 days..
‘…What should I do?.’
So there was a little conflict..
If the plan goes as planned, I will have to face a crushing defeat today, unlike before..
but…….
“…….”
Luan Badnicker, as a drone, argued differently..
Just once, I want to stick with this guy with all my might..
