I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 108
108fury
Junian, who returned to the infirmary, looked at me and said.
“Speaking of your personal electives, it was decided on me..”
“Why?.”
“No one came to me. Was it an atmosphere where it was naturally assigned?…….”
“…….”
It's a sad reason for both sides..
Of course, I asked without showing it outwardly..
“The groups of the leaders have been decided today, right? Have you heard of the group I belong to??”
“huh. Shall I tell you?.”
I nodded..
Before, I was in the same group as Evan, Mir, and Charles..
My path has already changed slightly since then, and my score has dropped by 1 point, so it wouldn't be strange if I was placed in a different group..
But Junian's answer was beyond my expectations..
“you are alone.”
“yes?”
“11 person, you are alone. Although it's temporary.”
“…Why did it become like that??”
“It must be a penalty for being injured and lying in the hospital. Among the virtues of a hero is self-management..”
“…….”
“So why did you attack a hunting teacher without even knowing the topic? That guy doesn't know that it's rough..”
I said I was trying to restrain myself..
In the first place, the original purpose was to meet Junian after being injured and hospitalized, so the plan itself was a success..
‘By the way, 1 person per group.…….’
Isn't it actually a good situation??
Of course, it will be difficult to get a top rank since you are alone..
“don't be too discouraged.”
When I was not saying anything, Junian said.
“For now, it will only be like that in this special test, and after you are completely healed, you will be transferred to the appropriate group..”
“Is that so?”
“Of course, the difference would have been enormous by then. Let’s give meaning to completing the course..”
“…….”
A man who is a priest in name is not able to provide comfort like this..
“…Rather, instructor, I want to ask you something..”
“What?”
“How are priests selected??”
Junian glanced at me and asked again..
“What does it mean??”
“It is unlikely that Badniker would have neglected to investigate the person's personality or career when embracing them. As far as I know, there wasn't much time in Teacher Juan's life to come into contact with the religious order, right? What is clear is that the author was not a born church member..”
“…….”
“In other words, he became a member of the church through appeasement... … . I'm trying to appease someone to an important position like a priest, but I'm worried that a few months won't be enough work..”
Junian took his eyes off me for a moment..
Then he picked up the tobacco on the desk and lit it with a match..
Cheek-.
“I know about the Black Cult Master.?”
“I don't know the details.”
“That guy…….”
Whoa, a smoky voice reached my ears..
“I know how to control my dreams.”
“…Like a dream, you mean??”
“okay.”
I blinked at the information I had never heard before, and suddenly a thought occurred to me and I asked:.
“Is this top secret information??”
“I know. You also revealed a secret to me, so this is my return. don't go anywhere and say.”
“…….”
“Time and space have no meaning to the Lord of the Dark Church, the ruler of dreams. If he wants to meet someone, he can enter that person's dream. I'm not sure about this, but it's said that just one night's dream can make you feel hundreds of days..”
“hmm…….”
“Of course, meeting someone doesn't necessarily mean you can persuade them. It doesn't seem like a power that can be easily used. Therefore, most of the priests who have died so far have no name or identity..”
Junian lowered his voice..
“If Juan is a priest, he is quite unique among priests..”
I guess so.
In general, most of the executives of secret organizations with a long history are internal figures who are trained from the start by appointing them to the position..
Or an orphan that is not recorded anywhere.
Juan, who comes from a prestigious family, is neither..
“…….”
The photo I found in the drawer came to mind for a moment, but I decided to put the useless thought aside..
“I talked to the manager.?”
I'm talking about Luke..
“okay. I also told you your story.”
“What do you say?”
“He said he will comply for now, but he will decide how to act based on the situation..”
Are you planning to hide again this time and look for an opportunity??
I thought it might be overly cautious, but I can understand it because I've seen that cautiousness pay off..
“What are you going to do for the test tomorrow? I'll pay it?”
“First of all, I think it will be miserable, but... Just in case, could you show me your purchase list??”
“okay.”
I asked while looking through the purchase list I received from Junian..
“Come to think of it, wasn’t there anything special from Calzac??”
“hmm.”
Junian nodded..
“nothing was said.”
* * *
Most of Yeongdo's daily routine ends around 10 p.m., and all instructors are asleep by 11 p.m., except for those who are on watch..
This means that from now on, it will be possible to leave the camp without being noticed by anyone..
Jeopuk-.
At the sound of quiet footsteps, Juan looked away from the unusually dark night sky..
“You came.”
“…….”
Calzac has appeared.
Juan, who slightly cheered up, quickly confirmed that there was no one around and nodded..
“As promised, you came alone..”
“I didn't make any promises. I didn't come here to talk.”
“what does that mean?”
Calzac reached behind his back..
It was late to realize because of the darkness, but there was a long spear hanging on his back..
Calzac threw it to Juan..
Clang-.
“Pick it up.”
“what?”
“Let's have a competition after a long time, spear teacher..”
Juan asked with a stern face..
“Are you saying you don't trust me??”
“Let's ask the opposite. What should I see and trust you? Because they are comrades? Because we have a relationship in the past?”
“I told you I would give a convincing explanation..”
“I'm so damn tired. Don't you know me yet? I'm an uneducated bastard. Even if I say it a hundred times, it has no meaning.”
sreung-.
Calzac drew his sword..
“The last time I saw it was about 5 years ago. I couldn't fully hone my swordsmanship because I was chasing the damn jewel beast... … . How about you? Spear... Martial arts teacher Nari.”
Calzac pushed the spear away with the toe of his foot..
“If you were the person I knew, no matter how busy you were, you would not have neglected your training. Let's do it this way. If your martial arts haven't changed from 5 years ago, you will die by my hands today..”
“…under.”
Juan said, twisting the corner of his mouth..
“Sounds fun..”
* * *
‘Come alone?’
You're really feeling sick..
Carlzak thought so to himself..
If you notice that you are under suspicion, stop doing the damn thing and bring proof of your innocence..
Then we will claim your innocence together..
Of course, Calzak trusts Luan, but he may be mistaken..
…Of course, I know the chances of that happening are slim..
We already found out in the mountains that that reckless little boy was something unusual..
but-.
Kyaang!
The moment the distance between each other narrowed, the swinging sword struck the spear pole..
It was Juan who backed down..
Popping.
With just one attack, Calzac realized.
okay. It did change.
Even if the level has dropped, it must have changed..
5Juan's spear skills were much sharper than what Calzac had experienced a year ago..
In other words, this man hasn't trained martial arts for 5 years..
‘Then what?-.’
The guy who wielded a spear so hard that his hands got blisters, the guy who bought every book about martial arts, even if it cost a thousand gold..
5For a long time of years-.
Pap-duk-duk.
Sparks flew from Calzac's eyes as he gritted his teeth..
“Why did you commit yourself to the cult, Juan?-!”
Squeak!
The spear was cut in half in an instant..
Calzac kicked Juan, who was momentarily defenseless, in the chest..
The moment Juan's body staggered and fell, Calzac's sword was aimed at his neck..
Drops of blood formed on the tip of the sword..
“Because I want to save Barbara... … . If you say that, I'll believe you?”
Calzac gritted his teeth again as he looked at Juan's sad smile..
“Cut out the bullshit. There's no way you, a former member of the Imperial Knights, wouldn't know that the most common nonsense the church spews out is dead bastards..”
“Now that I think about it, was it like that when we first met? In the barren wilderness of the south, a cult was attempting a ritual to revive the lion. The first collaborative mission between the imperial family, hero agency Heros, and Keltron mercenaries... … . Do you remember, Carlzak? When you and me and Barbara first met.”
“…….”
“We loved Barbara's smile.”
Calzac said in a slightly softened voice..
“I'm sorry about Barbara's death, but the living must live..”
“I'm serious.?”
Juan glared at Calzac with a grim face..
“Now that I think about it, you never asked. How she died. Answer me. Is Barbara of no value to you anymore? Or was she like that from the beginning.”
“you…….”
“If you think about it, that makes more sense. Because you pretended not to see the living Barbara's courtship, and went off to honor her dead brother's soul..”
Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Juan let out a dark laugh..
“Calzac, what are we different from? They're both tied to the dead..”
“If Barbara sees you now, she'll swear at you..”
“…….”
“He'll be holding his head and telling me to stop doing unnecessary things. You're that kind of woman..”
“…okay. He was extremely stubborn.”
Juan said with a bitter smile.
“kill it.”
Calzac gritted his molars..
A flash of conflict flashed in his eyes for a moment, but it was only a moment..
deeply.
The blade pierced Juan's throat..
The sound of phlegm boiling.
Unpleasant sensation at the fingertips.
Looking straight into his comrade's eyes, Calzac drew his sword..
Blood spurted out from the wound. Juan stumbled and soon fell face down on the ground..
“…….”
Calzac took a slightly unsteady step back and leaned his back against a nearby tree..
The clear sound of forest insects tickled my ears unpleasantly..
Calzac suddenly felt nauseous..
Now that I think about it, has it been a long time since I committed a murder? Because I was stuck in the mountains for a long time and only killed monsters..
However, it seemed that the reason for the nausea was not necessarily the murder that had been committed for a long time..
“…You're right. She was a stubborn woman.”
It was too much for me, and the moment Calzac swallowed his words.
“okay. If she had been a little more flexible, I wouldn't have killed her..”
I heard an unexpected voice.
Calzac asked himself a question without realizing it..
“what?”
Wow!
Something whose shape I couldn't guess flew out and pierced Calzac's abdomen..
Calzac reflexively swung his sword and tried to cut it, but this unidentified object was so incredibly hard that it didn't even make a scratch..
Quang!
Calzac was pushed straight into a tree..
My face was distorted by the pain I felt in my abdomen..
Chureup… … . Something that pierced my abdomen slowly left, and Juan's voice was heard from a little distance away..
“I was thinking of splitting my waist in two, but reacting at that moment... … . You've become stronger again, Calzac..”
“…you.”
“Doesn't your growth stop even if you're stuck in a mountain range for several years? It's a talent I'm really jealous of..”
Juan slowly stood up and shook off his clothes..
“… In the past, I would have thought that way. I don’t really feel anything now, Calzac. Even in front of you, I remain calm. This too must be the protection of the great Vengeance..”
Although blood was still rushing from the throat where Calzac had pierced,.
Juan didn't even seem uncomfortable talking, let alone being distressed..
“…Juan.”
“Did I look like a tragic figure? Or did you think that the forces of evil committed themselves based on a noble decision? I truly thought that such a person could rise to the position of priest.?”
Juan let out a lively laugh..
“You're so naive, you idiot. After living in the mountains for a few years, all the persimmons died. In the past, you were much sharper than this.…….”
“…This bastard.”
“Goodbye, Calzac. A former friend. To be honest, I wasn't particularly happy about it..”
A green tongue flickered from the corner of Juan's mouth..
Was it the tongue that just pierced my abdomen?.
‘nastily…….’
Calzac sighed at himself for even having such sentiments at this moment..
The moment the tongue rushed again, a sword flew out from behind Calzac..
Cheaeng! The path of the tongue that hit the sword was bent..
The intruding sword landed right on the side of Calzac, and it looked much more shabby than expected..
“The position is opposite to that of the mountain range.?”
Calzac forced himself to twist the corners of his mouth..
“…This kid. I hit the nail on the head at that time..”
“That was a bitch.”
Luan appeared with a rustling sound..
Juan tilted his head with an inexplicable expression on his face..
“Luan Youngdo? Leaving the camp without permission is a point deduction.-.”
“The reason Calzac came here alone is probably out of respect for you..”
Luan pulled out the Seven Deadly Sins Sword and put it back on her waist..
“I don't know if it's because he's a friend or because he's a fellow criminal, but he's a surprisingly stubborn guy..”
“…….”
“On the other hand, our Iron Blood Master said that there would be no dialogue or negotiation with the church members at any time.…….”
Luan said with a grin..
“Now I know what that means..”
“aha.”
Juan also laughed..
“It was you. I revealed my identity.”
