Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 129
129fury
As Riise's expression hardens, I too am embarrassed..
‘What is this?.’
For some reason, it seems like there are a lot of people trying to teach me in this life..
But Lise's proposal is much more unexpected than that of Carl Jacques or Junian..
It's because the opponent is a wizard..
He's a master in a field that I don't have much contact with..
“I guess you don't know how lucky this is..”
Rise said after compiling her expression..
“This Lycerradigos has never had a single disciple. This means that this is your chance to learn knowledge you can't even imagine. If you follow my teachings faithfully, yes. You will be able to occupy the position of head of the household without difficulty..”
“okay.”
“okay.”
“it's okay.”
“…….”
Then, for the first time, Rise made an expression that matched her appearance..
It's the dissatisfied face you might see when you don't get what you want..
“What's the complaint??”
“I'm not particularly interested in magic..”
“I know that you aim for the unmanned path. But don’t warriors and wizards have something in common: they both have to deal with mana? The advice this body can give is not completely worthless..”
“It's okay though.”
“…….”
RiSe has already closed her mouth after being rejected for the third time..
And as I sat on the mountain of books, I fiddled with my feet nervously..
Slap, slap… … . As I watched the water splashing, I suddenly became curious and asked..
“Why are you suddenly trying to make me your disciple??”
“It's just curiosity.”
“I don't think that's all.”
“joy. To be honest, will you accept my offer??”
“I can't give you a definite answer, but I'll give it some more thought..”
I'll still refuse though.
Then, after thinking for a moment, Rise said.
“… Originally, I was planning on taking at least one of Badniker's bloodlines as a disciple. But he hasn't had anyone in his sights for a long time. Not even one person.”
“is it so? My brothers and sisters aren't lacking in talent..”
“It's talent... … . It still doesn't suit my eyes, but that part aside, I don't like it. Because this is a matter of compatibility.”
“It's compatibility?”
“Yes. Compatibility is not only important when dating someone or making friends. There is also compatibility between a teacher and a disciple..”
“…….”
I have never been anyone's teacher.
At this moment, I somehow understood what Riese said..
I respect Baek No-kwang, but I don't think he would be a good teacher for anyone..
“And you are unique in many ways among Delac's other children..”
“What do you mean??”
“Of course, the most noticeable thing is that they don't blindly worship him..”
“…….”
Although we never specifically discussed the Iron Blood Ball, Lise knew exactly what it was..
“Also, solving all ten problems in the crypt means that my areas of interest overlap exactly. That problem was something I created on my own..”
“hmm…….”
“The technique you described, called Gimun Transformation, was interesting, and I also admired your courage in not being intimidated in front of me. He didn't seem to have a bad head, so I thought he would follow my teachings well..”
“…….”
What Lise said was extremely reasonable, but I had a feeling that it might not be everything..
The reason for that assumption lies in Rise’s attitude..
He doesn't look at me and looks away, and for no reason he flutters his legs and splashes in the water..
The situation is different from when I read a book while pretending to be myself..
At that time, Lise was not very interested in me, but now she has developed enough curiosity to make me my disciple.…….
However, if you are avoiding eye contact and looking the other way, it is correct to believe that you are hiding something..
‘Isn’t psychological warfare long-term??’
Lise is probably a black fairy who has lived for at least hundreds of years, but somehow her true intentions were very obvious..
In this case, it's one of two things.…….
Acting so well that even I don't feel like it's a trap.
I have rarely interacted with people over that long period of time..
First of all, it seemed like it had been sealed here for a long time, so the latter was more likely..
“…The original reason a teacher seeks a disciple is to prepare to pass on the knowledge he has gradually accumulated.…….”
“is it?”
“From what you say, it doesn't seem like it is..”
I cautiously suggested something else..
“So, what about an assistant rather than a disciple??”
“assistant?”
“As an assistant, I can assist Lise with all my heart. I also like the knowledge about Gimun Dungeon you mentioned, discussions about overlapping areas of interest, and other miscellaneous errands. I may not stop by often, though..”
This is the most I can compromise..
Even after saying this, there is nothing I can do if you refuse..
Although the knowledge in the underground library is disappointing, I have no choice but to give up..
“Hmm… Well, not bad..”
Fortunately, Rise also seemed to like my compromise, nodding her head and waving her finger..
At that moment, something shiny flew from somewhere in the library and stopped in front of me..
It was a clunky-looking key..
“This is the key to the underground library. If you plug this into any door, it will connect to the underground library..”
It seems to be a magic tool. that's interesting.
“What to do with a door without a keyhole??”
“the key is hard.”
“……?”
“It means to force it in..”
“aha.”
This means that this small key is engraved with space travel magic. I muttered as I looked at the ring on my finger..
“It seems similar to this.”
“that… Is this a ring you received from Assad? under!”
To be exact, I received it from Sanghyeolgong..
Since it was disposable, it no longer had any value as a magic tool, but for some reason, I kept wearing it..
“You have poor eyesight. The ring I made is 100 times superior to those disposable consumables..”
“It seems like the wizard is superior to Assad when it comes to manufacturing magic tools..”
“That's natural.”
It's a roughly thrown phrase, but somehow the response is good..
I thought as I looked at Lise’s smug face..
Apart from hating Assad, there seems to be some sense of competition..
“But you… Receiving that ring.”
“yes.”
“Could it be that you also received an offer from him as a disciple? That's why he rejected my offer?”
“Is that possible? Magic just isn't the way to go..”
“…….”
Despite my excuses, Riise didn't completely shake off her suspicious gaze..
Riise chewed her lips and said.
“I have a suggestion.”
“What is it?”
“Never, ever, become Assad's disciple. Then, I will give you a new contract on very favorable terms..”
“hmm…….”
Of course, I have no intention of becoming Assad's disciple. In the first place, I doubted whether that guy would even have me..
But, I deliberately pretended to be worried..
For some reason, it seems like Rise loses his composure easily when the topic of Assad comes up..
As expected, Rise said nervously..
“Then how about this! I will allow you to reach the level of power immediately after entering into a new contract.……!”
“What is power??”
Then Rise looked rather embarrassed and said.
“you… … . You said you came to sign a new contract, but you don't even know the stages of the contract??”
I scratched my cheek..
“I don't have much of a relationship with Gaho, so I'm not really interested in him..”
“okay? How many blessings do you have??”
“One outline.”
“Hoo…….”
Rise said with a strange smile..
“That's okay.”
“……?”
Are you okay??
This is my first time experiencing this kind of reaction..
The majority of people, especially those from great families, laughed at and ridiculed those who did not receive divine protection or who only received one..
Since I was labeled a badknicker, the ridicule was even stronger..
However, Rise does not look particularly sarcastic. I felt sincere.
As I was thinking about asking about it, Lise's voice continued..
“Adaptation, power, elevation, unity. This is the stage of contract with Shinsu. In general, it is only after several years of adaptation phase that power can be borrowed directly..”
“aha.”
“Of course, you won't be able to use your power right away once you reach the Charyeok stage, but you will be able to greatly shorten the time..”
“great.”
I quickly nodded and Rise sighed in relief..
I guess I really didn't want to fall under Assad..
“good night… … . Then come closer.”
I walked right in front of Lise..
Up close, Lise was much smaller than I thought, but I think it was less noticeable because she had long hair and was sitting on a pile of books..
“How is the contract concluded??”
“hold out your hand.”
No way I'm going to cut it?
The moment I thought of something useless, Rise snapped her fingers, and a snake crawled out of her messy hair..
Unlike the ones I saw earlier, it was an individual type of snake whose tail was not connected to the hair. It's small and.
“Still.”
The little snake looked at me with its tongue wagging, and then stuck its head into my outstretched palm..
A startling scene occurred the next moment..
“……!”
Like a snake being absorbed, it disappeared into the palm of my hand..
Immediately after that, a snake pattern appeared on the back of my hand..
Even the snake pattern slowly crawled up the arm as if it were alive..
“Umm…….”
“I told you to stay still.”
What to do in this situation?
I felt uncomfortable and wanted to stand up right away, but I forced myself to remain calm..
Then the snake pattern that was slowly rising stopped around the nape of my neck..
Wow-.
Finally, the moment I felt a cool touch, Rise said:.
“the contract is complete.”
“…Is this the end??”
“okay. It will take a few weeks for the snake pattern to take hold, so don't overdo it during that time. You will gradually get a sense of how to use the power of the divine beast..”
I touched the nape of my neck and said.
“…I'm sure I don't have a snake tattoo on my body.?”
“It's not usually revealed, so don't worry..”
Damn, that means you lost..
A snake tattoo on the side of my back... … . If anyone catches me, I'll just stick my tongue out and die..
“anyway… Are you done now??”
“okay.”
“Well then, I'll leave for today. I'll come again.”
“…….”
Then, Rise did not respond and just looked at me blankly..
“Do you still have something to say??”
“…no. Just go..”
“yes.”
I nodded at Lise's congratulatory message and left the underground library..
* * *
I went back the same way I came..
As if some kind of magic had been used, the way back was very short..
Still, I guess I spent a lot of time in the library, but when I climbed up the well, the surroundings were dark..
I went back to Socheoldang and gathered my thoughts..
The harvest is bigger than expected.
We obtained detailed information about the death penalty and signed a contract with Shinsu..
There are things we need to find out about how to handle that power and what the adaptation and power stages are, but it's not urgent right now..
That means it's time to think about your next destination..
“Academy…….”
In fact, the Imperial Academy admission form is this year… No. I already received it around the beginning of last year..
So, when I was not receiving any protection and was acting like a fool..
This is because it is customary to enter the academy at the age of fifteen..
My mother wanted me to at least enroll in the academy, but I was out of my mind at the time, so I tore up the admission form and locked myself in my room..
Anyway, that's why I know a little bit about Cartel Academy..
It is, in name and reality, the largest academy on the continent, and is basically a three-year academy. This means that it is customary to enter school at the age of fifteen and graduate at the age of eighteen..
The total number of people is approximately 1,000..
Dozens of faculties.
The location is the system.
“and… Was there a maximum of two users that could be brought along?.”
Of course, I plan to bring one person with me, Keian, who is our all-purpose collector..
Then who should the other one be?.
The one that came to mind for a moment was Calzac, but even so, it would be a bit awkward to take someone as big as a major criminal..
‘I don't think Calzac would say no, but I think it would be too noticeable..’
So who are the remaining candidates??
Should I take one of the Iron Blood Knights with me, or should I ask if I can borrow a collector?.
I met a guy named Jane a few times, and despite his unmotivated appearance, he was more capable than I thought..
As I returned to Socheoldang, thinking about this and that, the servants greeted me with a bit of surprise..
“You're late. Did you have dinner?”
“yet.”
“I will prepare it soon. In the meantime, would you like to wash first??”
“Is that so?.”
After wandering around in the crypt, I felt a little dirty..
I nod my head and go to the bathroom to wash up first. As I came out, feeling so fluffy and even changed my clothes, I saw Kei An..
“Are you here?.”
“huh. Nothing much happened?”
I asked in a cliché manner, but Keian smiled slightly strangely..
“A friendly face is waiting for you.”
a welcome face?
