I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 130

130fury

When I went to the restaurant, there was a really friendly face..

The main character with red-brown hair, a distinctive monocle, and neat clothes that didn't seem to have a single speck of dust on them was Arjan..

“master.”

He also calls me master now..

He's still expressionless, but his complexion seems a little brighter, perhaps due to his mood..

“I'm sorry for the delay in returning. The handover took longer than expected…….”

“no. are you okay. Nice to see you after a long time.”

Arjan was the general butler of the outskirts mansion where I stayed..

It is not a small scale, and Arjan's personality is very meticulous, so the handover must have been thorough..

I feel relieved about that too..

“mother?”

“Of course you are doing well.”

Arjan responded and then spoke in a slightly raised tone..

“I heard the general situation. I heard he achieved excellent results at the retreat. I'm sure your wife will be happy too..”

“thank you.”

I looked at Arjan blankly..

Arjan said with a slightly embarrassed face..

“Even if you have something to say…….”

“The butler made a contract with Shinsu.?”

“yes? Ah, yes.”

I knew it.

The explosive movement seen in the Gem Mountains was the power of a divine beast..

“I made a contract with a certain divine beast.?”

“It's a green deer.”

“The steps are?”

“It's rising.”

“Ohh…….”

If it's rising, it's the third step..

Even if I reach the Charyeok level immediately thanks to RiSe's trick, it means that he is at a higher level than me..

In other words, Arjan is much more senior than me when it comes to contracting new beasts..

I grinned at Arjan..

“It's sudden, but I'm planning to go to the academy now. Can I ask for your assistance??”

the next day.

It's been a while since I woke up at dawn, and I think it's because I went to bed early for the first time in a while because I had nothing to do yesterday..

I saw the moonlight falling on the window.

‘Is it around three or four o'clock?.’

The sun hasn't risen yet, so it's difficult to fly, and I guess I had a good night's sleep, but I can't sleep anymore..

So, for the first time in a while, I went out to Socheoldang alone to get some early morning air..

After warming up with some simple exercises, I thought about taking a walk around my hometown, reminiscing about the retreat.…….

There was a passenger in the empty training hall at dawn..

For a moment, I remembered meeting Mir during the retreat, but the person who was here today was a somewhat unexpected person..

Caron Woodjack.

‘Is that guy still at home??’

It's surprising.

The only ones still left at Badnicker were those who wanted to go to the academy.…….

No matter how you look at it, Charon and the Academy did not get along..

“lower pressure!”

Anyway, what is this guy doing at dawn?.

gymnastics in the moonlight?

I stopped running for a moment and observed Charon..

First of all, he is holding a dagger in both hands... It did not appear to be voluntary training or martial arts training..

It looks like he's just flailing around..

Charon, who had been swinging the dagger for a while, irritably cursed..

“…Shit!”

Charon gasped, and then seemed to have realized my presence and turned to look at me..

“you…….”

“You've been through a lot since dawn..”

Charon looked at me and…….

Suddenly, as if he had lost his mind, he rushed towards me with his teeth clenched..

The dagger touched by the moonlight sparkles coolly..

I don't know what you're thinking, but since I was free, I decided to join in..

I waited until Charon got close, and when he got in range, I closed the distance..

“……!”

Charon quickly stopped his movements when he saw me getting close to him, but in the meantime, he struck me on the right wrist..

A dagger fell to the ground with a crunching sound..

A body stiff from pain, in other words, full of gaps. Immediately grab your left arm and throw it to the ground..

thud!

I sat down on Charon's back, who was lying on the floor..

“Wow…….”

“Did I eat something wrong??”

“…….”

Charon said nothing as he sank his chin into the dirt..

I felt like my lips were purring, and then I heard a voice later..

“How to do it…….”

“uh?”

“How can I become strong like you??”

“…….”

It's a bit fresh?

No one has ever asked me this before..

I felt embarrassed and scratched my cheek..

“There's no need to be impatient. 'Cause I was much weaker when I was your age.”

“how old are you.”

“fifteen… No, I'm sixteen now.”

“I'm eighteen?”

Charon spoke in a confused voice, but I am also confused..

‘I can't tell you how much of an asshole Luan Badniker was in the past.…….’

It's frustrating.

In times like this, it’s a change of topic..

“what happened?”

Then Charon purred his lips and spoke in a somewhat resigned tone..

“…After the training, I sparred with Hector Badniker. a total of forty-five times.”

Charon said with a sad face..

“And everyone lost.”

“…….”

“He refused my request to spar today. So said. Now that you've defeated me, you're not going to fight anymore? Then…….”

* * *

“…Take care, Charon Woodjack..”

Hector said in a growling voice..

“Even though I lost, I will not be discouraged and will have the courage to try again. But even after so much sparring, I don't see any improvement in you..”

“…….”

“Most of the spirits who participated in this retreat are still weaker than you. Just like you said before, I will also be inferior to you in areas other than interpersonal combat and swordsmanship. But we all grew up. Even a guy like Hans Vander has grown explosively compared to before the retreat..”

Hector said, glaring at Charon..

“Before or after the retreat... The only thing that hasn't changed is you, Charon Woodjack. Rather, I would like to ask.”

“…….”

“What on earth was Badknicker’s retreat to you??”

Charon was truly speechless for the first time in a long time..

* * *

I was deeply impressed by Hector’s advice. That's because it's true in every detail..

And looking at Charon, who looks despondent, he asks:.

“Do you want to beat Hector??”

“okay.”

“You're asking me, Badniker's bloodline, how to do that.?”

“…Yes.”

“hmm.”

I said giggling..

“I like it.”

“…….”

“You will be more talented than Hector. But during this retreat, my brother grew much more explosively than you. What is the reason?.”

“…I don't know.”

“I don't know either.”

Then I felt Charon exhale as if in shock..

“You lost because you don't know.”

“what is that…….”

“If you ask Hector the same thing, you will get a clear answer. Because you know how to become strong.”

“…….”

“Even though it's still clumsy... I established my own martial arts school..”

Charon closed his mouth..

And said in a slightly urgent tone.

“Then teach me that uneducated thing too..”

“You sound like an asshole. How do you teach martial arts? Each person has completely different values..”

“…….”

Charon didn't look like he understood..

Although he may not be an idiot, this guy sometimes showed signs of being out of touch with common sense..

I looked down at the back of Charon's head..

I've felt the discomfort I'm feeling now a few times before..

“Was it your father who taught you??”

“…….”

“Not a good teacher.”

Then I felt Charon squirm..

“My father was an excellent teacher……!”

“keep talking.”

“He always taught me the best way... … ! How to become strong, how to survive, even the purpose of life... … ! Thanks to that, I am standing here without dying.!”

“In other words, I just gave you the answer without even giving you time to think. You idiot, why is that a good teacher? I don't know anything else, but I should have left the student to find his or her own purpose..”

“what……?”

“I've never seen Hyde Woodjack, but I know what I taught you for. You're not a student, you're a substitute..”

I tapped Charon on the back of the head and said,.

Crackling.

Charon gritted his teeth and twisted his body to stand up, but there was no way..

I snorted and put more pressure on my hips..

“Ughhh…….”

“…….”

And I realized that I was angrier than I thought..

Each person has a different point of anger..

There are people who are particularly angry at the behavior of parents who are not like their parents, and there are also people who are angry at children who exploit their old parents..

It's like having no education.

Because each person's life is different, the point at which they get angry is also different..

And it was in these cases that I, a human being, burst into the most heat..

When you see a teacher who doesn't even seem like a teacher.

“… If a teacher forces you to pursue a destination that you neither wanted nor desired, that is not teaching, but indoctrination. You learned it all wrong. Even worrying about not knowing the answer is part of the process, but look at what you’re doing now. As you face your first wandering in life, you can't do anything like a lost child..”

I said with a long sigh.

“If only the correct answer is taught, what is the difference between the teacher and the answer sheet?.”

A guy who lived his whole life without a map doesn't know where he is or where to go, but he just walks and sees..

On the other hand, this is what happens when a guy who always knew the way loses his map. I just sat there and cried..

Because your field of vision is narrow.

On the other hand, if your field of view is wide, you can guess the time by looking at the rising sun, and you can know the direction by looking at the positions of the stars..

Everything you see becomes a map..

Charon is probably the one who knows this fact better than anyone else..

So this guy is a poor guy..

I was an expert in hunting and survival, but I never knew how to apply it to life..

So, he must have rushed to the training ground early in the morning when everyone else was sleeping, and just acted ignorantly without any meaning..

If I didn't do that, I would go crazy..

“Will it continue to be like this??”

“…….”

“At every moment of your life, every moment you wander, are you going to run to your father and whine to tell him the right answer? Either early or late. There always comes a time in life when you have to stand alone..”

“Then what should I do?……!”

Charon shouted, still rough, but with a somewhat sorrowful tone..

“I-I only know how to live like this……!”

I sighed..

During the retreat, there were times when this guy showed a particularly aggressive attitude toward Evan..

What did they say.

Did I mention that if I stick to Raven, I won't be in the top 3??

I was surprised that a guy who was basically indifferent to others would say something like that to Evan, whose grades at the time weren't that great.…….

Now that I know a little more about this guy, I understand why..

Charon was jealous of Evan..

Evan spoke as a habit when eating, resting, and even before going to bed..

How much do you respect your father?.

‘…What should I do?.’

It suits my temperament to just ignore it and move on..

To begin with, this guy named Caron wasn't a particularly likable guy at the retreat..

But after talking to him for a while, I realized that this guy was just as pitiful as me in the past..

Anyway, one thing is clear.

Charon's father, Hyde, does not regard this guy as his child..

I stood up.

Charon, who had been crushed, also quickly stood up and looked at me again..

It looks like a wary wild dog..

“Karona.”

“…What.”

“He said he was curious about how to become strong.”

“…Yes.”

“Then I guess I'll have no choice but to teach you how to become strong..”

I clenched my fist and approached Charon..

Charon took a step back and said.

“Damn, if it means getting slapped, that's enough.-.”

“no. Actually, Master didn't really hit me in the face..”

Hwareuk-.

Fire flickered in my fist..

“It just so happens that I have nothing to do for two days starting today? therefore… I will carefully prepare it with the mindset that a new death penalty system has been introduced under me..”

Charon's face turned pale..

* * *

Two days passed quickly..

I don't know about other guys, but it probably was like that for me..

Monday morning.

Immediately after the sun rose, Yeongdo finally boarded a carriage heading to Jedo Island..

“This is a carriage……?”

“mansion… Looks like…….”

A local hillbilly looking at the ridiculously large carriage... In other words, Evan and Charis were shocked..

Actually I was surprised too.

It's oversized for the mansion, but it's about the size of an average house, and the horse it's pulling is twice as big as an average guy's..

“If you ride this, you'll be able to get to the system in no time..”

“Still, it will take a week?”

Of course, long distance travel is full of variables..

The biggest variable is the weather, so if there is heavy rain along the way, it wouldn't be unusual to be delayed for three or four days..

“I think I could just live in this carriage for the rest of my life.…….”

“I agree.”

Anyway, it was a spacious carriage inside..

10It was large enough to accommodate up to 20 people, but with only our group inside, a lively atmosphere was created..

Of course, the reason those guys who like to hold weight were in a different compartment was probably the reason..

Guys like Hector and Seren..

“When I go to the islands, there are more than one place I want to go..”

Charis said in an excited voice..

“A swordsmanship dojo, a magic tower, a history museum of the 7 races and 21 heroes, various art museums, and even performances held only on the islands... scent.”

“There is also the largest publishing company in the empire! My dream, [Empire Journal]! Moreover, there is a train in the system, and if you take it, you can go from the northern part of the city to the southern part in just one hour.!”

Particularly excited were Charis and Pam..

These two guys seemed to have a special romance with the Islands, even among the Youngdo Islands..

“But Luan, why are you here instead of going to your brother and your fiancé??”

“I'm your fiancé. And it's so boring over there.”

Hector is not a very suitable conversation partner..

There were two of us in the carriage on the way to the retreat, and we fell asleep because we had nothing to say..

Seren is a bit better, but he also seems to be careful about what he says and does in front of others, so I don't feel like making fun of him..

“okay. You say you feel comfortable being here..”

“…….”

As the low-pitched voice spoke to me, not only Charis, who spoke, but also all the leaders present gave me strange looks..

Receiving all those stares without any hesitation…….

“What are you looking at? Are you dissatisfied with your brother??”

Charon Woodjack said gruffly..
