I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 117

117fury

I was trying to prove that I was the real Luan Badniker, but suddenly I changed my mind..

‘4main.’

about a month.

It's never a small amount of time.

I suddenly wondered how strong these guys had become during this time..

fault.

The moment I jumped from the tree and finished landing, it was Mir who rushed in..

The hammer swings with exciting momentum..

I twisted my upper body slightly to avoid it, and was surprised at its strong momentum..

‘This guy-.’

There is almost no unnecessary movement..

In the past, Mir would have stiffened in front of a big guy.…….

Now, he didn't seem particularly scared, and even his gaze was clearly directed at me..

Huh!

Then he dodged Evan's diagonal blade. I can't say it's great, but it's a natural connection..

Then, I nodded to myself as I watched the sword path leading to the second and third strikes..

‘It's Raven..’

If Juan had succeeded in the ritual, what would have been Evan's fate??

I saw the answer to that question in my first life.

Evan probably survived the retreat somehow, but he would have already completed his awakening as a small religious leader..

He must have infiltrated the hero agency Heros while hiding that fact..

in other words.

This means that the actual timing of Evan Helvin's betrayal was actually several years earlier than previously known..

‘now?’

This guy is still the Evan Helvin I knew..

Youngdo, who honestly insists on practicing swordsmanship, has the goal of enhancing his father's honor, and has the ambition to one day defeat the Demon King with Raven..

I was glad of that fact..

In the end, if it weren't for the priest's intervention, Evan would have chosen to continue his father's progress after wandering for a while..

Puhuaak!

At that moment, an intangible arm rose from the ground..

It's Charles's blessing..

I jumped slightly to avoid the gray grasp, and then kicked Evan and Mir in the chin as they attacked me from both sides..

Wow!

“Pfft…….”

“Ugh!”

While the two guys stumbled back, I climbed up a nearby tree again..

“What are you doing! I'm out of my mind?”

“Ugh… … . Ha, but that guy is so quick.……!”

“I know it when I see it! You're spilling our joint effort without a care in the world.…….”

Charles gritted his teeth and glared at me..

I sat leisurely on a tree branch and opened my mouth..

“Anyone who sees it will think that they have pulled off some kind of great joint effort. The formation is okay, but the connection is still poor. The timing of your surprise attack was so obvious that it wasn’t funny..”

Mir looked at me with a blank face..

“…Did the undead speak so well??”

“Something's strange.”

Still, the hand holding the weapon went down loosely, as if they were clueless..

The only one who didn't let go of his boundaries was Char..

“You can't relax. It's a forest that has been ruined to begin with, so how do you know what kind of guy will come out? It might not be undead, but a monster that uses hallucinations..”

“After hearing it, I saw it…….”

“I'd like to change the formation. I'll go in, so Evan goes first this time.-…….”

“…….”

I briefly saw the faces of the guys planning their strategy..

Although the words exchanged are harsh, there is a faint sense of trust in the voice..

Even though they are not close friends, it seems that the relationship has developed into something like comrade-in-arms..

At least compared to the first meeting I remember, the level of cuteness is.

“…….”

For a moment, I pictured myself standing among those guys, and I laughed a little..

I feel a little disappointed.

I also thought that if I had been there, we might have become closer and stronger sooner..

Of course, I may be overly self-conscious, but.

match!

I clinked my palms together and looked at each other..

“Let's stop fighting. I'm not an undead or a monster that uses hallucinations, I'm the real Luan.”

“under.”

Charles said with a sneer on his lips..

“A person who has been missing for over 4 weeks suddenly appears, and they ask us to believe it.?”

“That's correct. Then ask me something that only I know.”

“…Let’s at least ask and answer questions out of the blue.-.”

Charles, who had been scoffing, suddenly stopped and asked in a strangely hesitant manner..

“Big, big. So hey, what does Hector like??”

“I don't know.”

“Hector’s birthday is……?”

“How the fuck do I know that?.”

“They're brothers!”

“We're not that close.?”

“Before, my older brother used to brag about how cute he was.!”

Did I do that??

“Charles, let me ask you a question..”

Evan went out, leaving behind Charles, who was looking at me with suspicious eyes..

And he asks in his characteristic calm tone:.

“Where did your mother come from??”

“Northern Colland of the Empire.”

“The name of the sword technique I use is?”

“Raven.”

“Last time I looked, who was number 1 in possession of Yeongdo points?.”

“Cheap Charon.”

“My roommate at the retreat?”

“It's you.”

“Umm…….”

Evan said with an embarrassed face..

“Ma, I think that’s right..”

And he looked at me with a face that became several times more complicated..

“…I thought you were dead. What the hell happened??”

“There was this and that. As a result, I guess I got lost a lot..”

“4for a week?”

“It's such a large forest, isn't it?.”

“hmm…….”

Evan didn't seem completely convinced by my excuse, but he seemed reluctant to cover it up and deny it..

“Anyway, it's good to see you guys are doing well. I collected a lot of balls?”

“……!”

When I mentioned the ball, the tension among the three increased again..

It seems that they have finally realized that apart from being a monster, the same spirit is also an enemy..

“You don’t have to be so scared. Because my only target is the purple ball.”

As I said that, I looked especially closely at Mir's expression..

It's because he can't control his facial expressions..

Mir openly let out a sigh of relief, and his grip on the hammer also lost some strength..

‘Let's see if it's there.’

At least these guys don't have purple balls.

Suddenly I became curious.

How would I have acted if I had?

Was it taken by force? Or did I just move on?.

I don't know either.

“…How can I believe that??”

“How about this.”

I took out a blue ball from my pocket and threw it..

The three startled people dodged the ball at the same time..

“This…….”

“Blue ball. I can't quite remember how many points it was..”

“15point!”

“It was like that. thank you.”

“lol… It was nothing.”

Charles glared at Mir, who was making a fuss, and then looked at me and said..

“If it's a blue ball, it's worth a lot of money - what's the plan??”

“There is no ulterior motive. The maximum number of balls you can hold is 3, right? I don't need the blue ones because I'm planning on filling them all with purple balls..”

“…….”

“It's a deal from here on out, but do you happen to know the whereabouts of the purple ball? Tell me and I'll give you these too.”

I quenched my appetite by juggling blue balls. I don't like the taste if I make two..

If I had known it would be like this, I would have given it to you later..

Anyway, the three who received my offer exchanged glances with each other and finally looked at Charles..

As expected, that guy seems to have become the leader..

Charles thought for a moment and spoke in a cautious tone..

“…great. I accept it. However, the situation in the forest is changing all the time, so don’t blindly trust it..”

“To say the obvious.”

“First of all, there are three positions of the purple ball that we identified..”

“oh…….”

I never thought everyone would understand.

“Saved trouble... You're making a face, but things won't be that easy..

“huh?”

“First of all, Charon and Hector each have one..”

Should I say that too?.

My guess was exactly right..

“Good. the other one?”

Then Evan said.

“The material of the last purple ball is dangerous, Luan. It's better not to touch me.”

“huh?”

unexpected words.

He's more dangerous than Charon or Hector..

Was there a guy like that among the leaders??

“There are only three purple balls in this test, and in fact, the instructors taught us their locations from the beginning..”

This is information I haven’t heard before..

“There are three particularly strong monsters in this test. Among them, [One-Eyed Ogre] and [Queen Butterfly] were subdued by Charon and Hector, respectively. So they each got one purple ball..”

Charles said with a stiff face..

“…The last monster was too much. One time, we prepared a subjugation battle as a group, but it failed and we barely escaped..”

“What kind of monster is this?.”

“For now, we call him [Owner of the Cave]..”

Evan continued..

“It's in a cave in the north of the forest, but no one knows exactly what kind of monster it is. He's covered in some kind of strange bedding. The only thing is that he is as big as a giant.…….”

“It's not a giant. never.”

Mir joined in with a gruff voice..

I nodded..

“okay. Thanks for the information.”

I threw both balls.

Evan, who received the ball in surprise, asked.

“What will you do if I give it all to you??”

“Look, I'm going to get the ball..”

In fact, I was planning to keep at least one as insurance if I couldn't figure out the whereabouts, but I no longer have to worry about that..

I straightened my back and said.

Three days is plenty of time, but looking for Charon and Hector in this large forest seems quite troublesome..

I have to move quickly.

“Now, wait a minute. Luan!”

“……?”

Evan caught me just as I was leaving..

Then he made a complicated face and smiled awkwardly..

“…I'm glad I'm alive.”

“You guys too.”

I responded with a thumbs up and left for real this time..

‘Did you say the ‘cave’ is on the north side of the forest??

Let’s go there first..

* * *

Charon Woodjack was born in the [Sinking Swamp], one of the four forbidden places of the Empire..

By the time I became self-conscious, I already had a weapon in both my hands, and by the time I could run around on my own two feet, I had known the taste of the blades of grass that grow in swamps..

Before he came of age, he overcame the danger of death at least 10 times, and when children of wealthy nobles learned etiquette and culture, they learned hunting and survival firsthand..

So no matter how harsh the infamous Badniker’s training was, there was no reason to be nervous..

The lives we have lived through are different, our experiences are different..

The same goes for guys named Youngdo..

Systematic curriculum, excellent teachers, elixirs like gold... What is 100 times more important than anything else is actual practice..

And as long as there is a safety device called an instructor, this retreat cannot be a perfect practical training..

So, dear father, Hyde Woodjack’s words were unexpected even for Charon..

- Don't mess with Badknicker's veins..

That was a bit of unfamiliar advice to Charon..

Until now, most of the things that Hyde had told us to be careful of were monsters, that is, prey..

Will this retreat be a little different??

[Will the descendants of the [Great Family] change Charon's preconceived notions about nobles?.

In the end it wasn't.

It is said that they attracted a lot of spirit leaders from all over the place, but there was not a single one that caught Charon's eye..

Except for just one person..

Among the great criminals, the one whom Charon particularly admired was the hunting teacher Tanko.…….

I was familiar with his reputation as a great warrior in the past, and I also liked the policy and content of the class the most..

Skill goes without saying.

But there was a crazy guy who wanted to spar with that Tanko from day one..

‘Luan Badniker?’

In fact, the one that Charon had been paying attention to until then was Hector Badniker..

Charon quickly realized that Hector was no match for him either..

‘Did you say that he was one of the three children whom Iron Blood Lord particularly cherished??’

And as far as Charon knew, none of those three were named Luan..

‘It's a good thing.’

This is an opportunity to appreciate the skills of Daejeon Temple Tanko..

This is only when the opponent is able to withstand even a single match..

How many times can that incompetent-looking guy withstand the attacks of the Great Warrior?.

Charon watched the sparring match with those thoughts in mind.…….

…For the first time in my life, my face hardened when I saw the skills of my peers..

‘Who is that guy?…….’

People without insight won't know..

You'd think Tanko was putting pressure on Luan the whole time..

A stupid guy like Hans even claimed that Luan gets preferential treatment..

Not at all.

Although Luan's physical abilities were clearly not excellent, his coping skills were flawless even in Charon's opinion..

Even if Charon was in Tanko's position, I had no choice but to give him extra points..

‘He is a guy with ridiculously rich experience in interpersonal combat..’

That was the only thing Charon lacked..

The experience of fighting against people..

Even taking that into account, the level difference with Yeongdo was extreme, so they never lost in sparring.…….

Separately, it was impossible for Charon to spar with Tanko at that level..

I had a hunch at that time..

Rather than Hector or Seren, we should be more wary of that guy named Luan..

However, the object that Charon was most interested in disappeared for a strange reason..

He wandered through the forest at his own discretion during unauthorized times and then disappeared..

Of course, Charon's instincts insisted that there was more to the disappearance.…….

I didn't really feel the need to delve into it..

From then on, Charon maintained the first place, widening the gap overwhelmingly with other Youngdos, and had no doubt that he would graduate with this grade..

Kyaang!

The moment he joined forces with Hector, Charon's eyes narrowed..

The opponent's sword somehow felt heavy..

In the end, with their swords touching each other, Hector opened his mouth..

“Do you know the point gap between you and me??”

“Well… … . I'm not particularly interested in the score of the guy below me..”

“37point. But originally the gap would have been much smaller..”

“ah. That's right.”

Charon scoffed openly, but Hector spoke without a particularly unpleasant attitude..

“Because I've definitely been deducted at least 1 point a day for the past time..”

“…what?”

“For the past four weeks, my sparring partner has been hunting teacher Tanko..”

Charon paused..

“You probably didn't know. Like you just said, you never looked at the guy chasing you..”

“…….”

“So did I.”

Hector said.

“Of course, I have never beaten Tanko-sensei. Like that guy, she didn't even get extra points for her interpersonal skills..”

Hector said with a grin..

“But in the end, I think it was the right choice..”

“……!”

The moment Hector twisted his wrist, Charon's dagger flowed smoothly along the blade..

Without missing that moment, Hector applies strength to his grip and lifts it up..

Kyaang!

The dagger flew away with a clear sound..

Charon frowned as he felt a tingling pain in his wrist..

“Charon Woodjack, I think I'm one step ahead of you in person fighting skills.?”
