Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 194

“Who are you? … . It was a doll that the dean used to handle..”
“doll?”
“You made a bunch of dolls with bad taste on the 4th floor of the Tower of Training, right? The information of the cadets grimly climbing the tower was collected and applied at will... … . Among them, there was an unusual doll that could play a musical instrument.-.”
Maybe I was a little embarrassed, but my tone of voice became a little harsh..
Alderson listened to me without any sign of offense and then slightly closed his eyes..
“leone…….”
Feeling like I'm lost in thought.
Meanwhile, I was also rummaging through my arms. I was trying to check the last note left by Leone..
‘There isn't any?’
For a moment, my heart sinks..
Could it be that I saw something in vain??
Anyway, this went a bit too far.…….
I was confused for a moment, but then realized that my clothes had been changed..
Loose clothes that a patient would wear, of course, but not Yeongdo’s training uniform where the note was kept..
If you think about it, it's natural.
Because of the bloody battle in the underworld, my training uniform was in tatters..
It was then.
“ah… It did. leone.”
Alderson muttered in a low voice..
“There definitely was such a doll. I don't know about anyone else, but I shouldn't have forgotten... … . no. wait for a sec.”
Alderson, whose expression suddenly hardened, looked at me and said:.
“…Luan Youngdo, listen carefully to what I say from now on..”
“suddenly what…….”
“Actually, I don't know much about Leone. I don't know if it was like that from the beginning or if I was brainwashed that way. However, my condition right now is not normal. This is just a feeling, but maybe sooner or later I will completely forget about Leone..”
“…Those words are.”
Alderson nodded..
“Maybe Leone has the power to manipulate memories..”
I didn't think it was nonsense.
While I agree with Alderson, I have some concerns..
Alderson Marvre.
The Archmage, who has lost all his power, has become more trustworthy than before at this point.…….
However, I can't tell you everything about my situation..
‘‘I can use a musical instrument’ and ‘I have become a priest of a dark order’ have completely different impacts..
Even if Alderson is currently friendly to me, I doubt whether he will maintain this attitude once he finds out that I have become a priest..
“Leone might be the cult leader..”
So, I decided to share the information only partially this time..
I put out loud some of the thoughts I had been harboring all along.…….
For some reason, I thought it might be Leona who chose me as a priest..
“Is there any basis??”
“I met Leone in the other side of the world. I got some help rescuing the Dean. He wouldn't have been able to take down the Legion Commander without that guy's help..”
“It's premature to consider him a cult leader based on that alone..”
“Of course there is more. In other words, isn't the other side a dream world? And as far as I know, one of the cult leader's representative powers is the ability to walk around the dream world at will..”
“…….”
“If that is true, it would explain why he suddenly appeared and left the underworld..”
Alderson didn't just listen to me..
He slowly closes his eyes and seems to gather his thoughts, then slowly opens his mouth..
“It's not like there's no possibility at all. If Leone is the leader of the cult as you say... … . Maybe he's a much higher level puppeteer than me..”
“You mean the puppeteer??”
My head tilted at a somewhat unexpected sound..
“It was about a hundred years ago that magic dolls began to become popular in the empire. It means that it is a relatively recent civilization, but in fact, magic dolls were a technology from a now-forgotten kingdom..”
“Kingdom…….”
“I don't know if you've heard of it. The name Setitus.”
“……!”
Naturally, the contents of the note Leone left came to mind..
[See you in Setitus.]
[P.s. I'm tired of being a doll.]
A country said to have been destroyed by a great executioner.
evil empire.
Somehow I became convinced that the ancient kingdom might have something to do with the Dark Church..
‘I definitely have to go when I get the chance.…….’
One more thing I have to do.
“Lord of the black religion… … . It was a major incident that almost caused the devil to descend on the system, so it would be even more strange that he wasn't involved..”
“…….”
“Going back to the topic, if the cult leader were a better puppeteer than me, there would be nothing that could be found even if they searched the puppets in the tower or their personality information. but…….”
Alderson said with a slight smile..
“I have one obsessive habit. I thoroughly record the details of every doll I handcraft..”
“Is it there? A document containing Leone's information is.”
“My memories are hazy, but I'm sure it's there. Look in my drawer in the dean's office..”
I asked back in a somewhat surprised voice..
“Do you mean me?”
“I will attend the imperial court as soon as I wake up from my illness. It's unclear how long I will stay after that... … . Maybe I'll never come back to the academy again..”
“hmm.”
“And there is a possibility that you will forget the conversation you just had. At that time, you might not be able to remember Leone again like you do now..”
Alderson let out a laugh..
“I finally realized it. Dreams are each person's mental image and individual world. Being able to move in and out of that place as you please is no different from being able to completely control that person..”
“…….”
“Maybe I too was a puppet of the cult leader... … . So please ask me more.”
Dean Alderson looked me in the eye and said,.
“Luan Badnicker, check the document..”
I nodded instead of answering..
* * *
The next day, Alderson left..
As he had expected, he was immediately summoned to the imperial palace at the exact moment when his body was able to move..
“Good luck, Dean..”
“okay. I hope we can meet again someday.”
Fortunately, my physical condition was quite good and I was able to at least shake hands..
After the dean left, the fairly large hospital room felt a little empty.…….
There was no time to feel bored..
I immediately focused on recovery..
About a day after Alderson left, I recovered enough to stand up.…….
When another day passed, about half of my condition had returned. This means that there are no major obstacles to moving right away..
I hid that fact for now.
I have an annoying feeling that if word spreads that I have recovered, I will be called around..
“This is today's medicine. Drink it all up.”
A middle-aged man who looked like a doctor held out a medicine truck..
I drank it with an earthy face. Please note that this is not acting..
They say medicine that is good for the body is bitter, but this feels like going too far..
After forcing myself to swallow the bitter and fishy medicine, I even eat healthy food without any taste. Even though the message didn't go anywhere, I had no choice but to eat this if I wanted to live..
After barely completing today's meal, I asked the doctor:.
“Now that I think about it, how are the other guys doing??”
“It's mostly okay.”
Most of the time, I mean there are some that aren't okay..
The congressman caught my gaze and sighed..
“Youngdo Charon’s wounds are serious. Of course, as you know, treatment with potions or priests does not have much effect on deeply eroded wounds on the instrument... … . A crushed right eye has a higher risk of blindness.”
“…….”
“Youngdo Mir is still unconscious, and the Lady of Goodspring is feeling a constant chill. I heard that they are almost living in a bathtub, changing the hot water frequently..”
Overall, the guys in my raid group seem to be in bad shape..
I think Seren will get better after some time... … . Is the problem still Charon and Mir?.
In particular, Charon's wounds looked quite serious the last time I saw him..
I felt a sourness in my mouth. It wasn't just because of the medicinal tea I just swallowed..
“What is Mir like??”
“Although she is similar to Lady Seren, there are differences. His body temperature is relatively low, but considering his background, it's not unusual. The body itself is strong, so most of the wounds have already healed..”
“Are you saying that you have just lost your mind??”
“That's right. Not only the lawmakers but also the priests did not know the cause..”
“…….”
Somehow I feel like I have to see it for myself. I can help you recover like I did with Seren.…….
Or get advice from a military person.
Did you realize my thoughts?.
The lawmaker said in a somewhat stern tone..
“Master Luan's wounds are just as serious as theirs. So, please remain calm for the time being. We will do our best to treat our colleagues..”
“…….”
I almost recovered.
I nodded and asked, hiding my true feelings..
“Now that I think about it, where are my belongings??”
“I put it in the closet over there..”
“aha.”
I nodded and…….
As the sun was setting that day, I woke up from my hospital bed and relieved myself of my groggy body..
Crackling.
“Wow…….”
I've been lying in bed for several days, and I'm so frustrated that I'm dying just trying to do the drills..
Still, I'm in a position where I have to take more measures, so there's only one way left for me..
to go out secretly.
I opened the closet the congressman pointed to..
Indeed, my belongings were still stored inside..
“These clothes... Is it a cadet uniform??”
I think it was probably put there so that I could wear it once I was fully healed. Actually, the Yeongdo training uniform would not have been of the level to be worn..
‘If you don't want to be noticed, this might be better..’
I quickly changed into my cadet uniform, then stood in the mirror and looked at myself..
“Hmm…….”
I guess this handsome face will attract attention..
This proud platinum-blonde hair is a little annoying when it comes to things like this. Should I wear a hat like Glenn?.
As I was stroking my chin, my eyes suddenly caught my eye on one of my belongings..
“ah.”
One of Dean Alderson's collections.
Was it the mask of the Linchal tribe??
It is a tool that contains the power of mutation..
“Should I use this?.”
It seems more suspicious if you wear a mask like this, but how is the power of mutation applied in the first place?.
The moment I covered my face with a mask with that thought in mind.
“Oh oh oh……?”
The strange-looking mask clung to the face like a thin, wet cloth..
Surprisingly, it wasn't unpleasant. It actually seems cool.
Then I looked in the mirror again…….
A girl I had never seen before was looking at me..
“omg.”
no. I see it again, it's a boy.
“A plague… … . It's a surprise.”
Anyway, her facial features are so delicate that one might mistake her for a girl..
I realized that this mask not only regulates the facial expression, but also the body shape to some extent..
So now I have turned into a boy with black hair down to his waist..
The impression is that he looks much weaker than Glenn..
“Hmm…….”
To be honest, I don't like it..
Regardless of the appearance, black hair is also a very eye-catching color..
Still, I was confident that if I walked around like this, no one would associate me with Luan Badniker..
“I can't help it.”
After negotiating alone, I immediately opened the window and jumped down..
3The moment I landed silently from the height of the floor, a pleasant breeze caressed my skin..
That's fine, but the hair blowing in the wind is annoying..
I guess I can't find anything like a hair bell..
The only ones that come to mind who wear their hair tied are Charles or Mir..
‘by the way…….’
You said the academy is quite noisy right now. The night air is definitely chaotic..
I remember walking around the academy in the middle of the night right before the incident occurred. It was hard to find anyone walking around after the sun went down..
Nowadays, there are quite a few people walking under the street lights. Most were not cadets..
But my biggest surprise was when I arrived at the shopping street to fill my stomach..
‘What is this…….’
I thought it was broad daylight.
There was a swarm of light so dazzling that it was misleading to believe, and it was overflowing with even more vitality..
I stopped a passerby and asked.
“What festival is taking place??”
“uh…….”
A passerby who was looking at my face blankly said with an overly friendly smile..
“If it’s a festival, it’s a festival, right? I heard that the spiritual leaders here have stopped the cult's evil forces... … . From what I heard, this is the first time in almost a hundred years that the coming of the Demon King has been prevented without any damage..”
“aha.”
“uh… But aren't you a cadet? Rather, you should know the situation here better than me.-.”
“Thank you.”
I said a cursory hello and then walked through the shopping mall..
I understand the situation roughly..
I heard that many outsiders visited the academy..
I heard that the number was quite large, but since the academy couldn't accommodate all of them, most of them would probably end up staying at the inn in the shopping district..
Since the incident was an incident, most of those who visited were probably bigwigs, and of course they would not be hard-pressed to spend money..
Perhaps that is why the commercial district of the commercial district, which was once a fly-by-night business, has been revitalized. Just like a seasonal tourist attraction..
‘Even though schools are closed, most of the cadets are staying at the academy..’
There is no way business owners would miss this golden opportunity..
Perhaps the merchants joined together to hold something similar to an event.?
Anyway, it must have formed a food alley, and it smelled delicious even as I walked down the street..
After eating only unhealthy, tasteless food for a few days, my mouth is watering..
‘Meat, first of all meat, definitely meat, definitely meat.’
Since it’s your first meal, you should eat something delicious. failure is not tolerated.
They walk the streets like hyenas looking for meat. Then, my footsteps naturally headed towards the back alley..
I don't particularly have the prejudice that good restaurants are likely to be hidden in a corner.…….
Somehow, it seems like there's a delicious smell coming from around here..
“hey. you there.”
“It's dangerous to go to a place like this alone..”
Then a confident voice was heard..
I wanted to know something, so I looked behind me and saw a man and a woman standing at the entrance to the back alley, looking this way..
He seemed to be roughly my age, but he didn't look like an academy cadet..
The reason I think that way is not just because of the clothes..
‘quite…….’
It is a well-polished prayer and a trained body..
Among the academy's knight cadets, there was no one with an aura like this..
Talented people who have clearly gone through a number of real-life battles.
“It's not particularly dangerous.”
Once I responded like that, the smile came back..
“I guess so. Noble ladies just before being kidnapped always talk like that..”
“you idiot. It's not a lady, it's a master..”
“uh… really? It's so pretty like that…….”
“…….”
What are these guys??
Currently, various forces have gathered in the Academy, so it should not be hasty to specify.…….
Somehow, I got the feeling that both of them were extraordinary people..
Meanwhile, they were muttering in low voices..
“…What about that guy? He looks like a cadet here..”
“…Looking at the color of his tie, he must be a senior. hmm… Maybe it's not that bad.”
“…Then go to that guy?”
I can hear it all, these things.
Strangely, it was a conversation without any sense of malice..
So, there's a different plan, but I don't really feel like he's trying to screw me over.?
Perhaps the woman was the one who decided, as she twitched her chin slightly and looked at me with a smile..
“Hey. what is your name?”
“I know.”
“uh?”
“hmm. no. My name is Naru.”
I messed with Luan a little bit..
the man said.
“aha. It's a pretty name.”
“If you tell me I'm pretty one more time, I'll beat your brains out.”
When I spoke in an annoyed tone, they both laughed. It was a somewhat immature nobleman's attitude toward a young master..
“Okay, sorry. Anyway, Naru. I have a favor to ask you. Can I ask you to guide me to the academy??”
“There's actually someone we're looking for.”
I looked at them both and nodded..
“good. Buy me a meal instead..”
