I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 241
241fury
Actually, after listening to the whole story, a question arose. I was so puzzled that I looked at Nero and asked straight away:.
“But.”
“what?”
“Why did you give me such a warning??”
“…….”
It's as if Hiiro and I have no relationship whatsoever..
My relationship with Nero is also dry..
In any case, this woman was also a child with a strong bloodline of the Iron Blood Duke, which meant that she had a personality that was indifferent to everything..
“…that.”
It was the moment when Nero's mouth was half open..
“Brother! I'm here!”
Verita is back.
Not even 10 minutes have passed yet?
I look at Verita with absurd eyes... This guy didn't know what I was thinking or what I was thinking, so he showed me the box in his hand with a big smile on his face..
“sorry! The cookies were all sold out, so I had no choice but to buy carrot cake, and it looked really delicious.!”
“…….”
Why carrots??
There will be apple cake, strawberry cake, and grape cake..
While I was staring at the box, Nero left without saying a word..
“hmm? Are you finished talking??”
“no.”
“yes?”
I saw Nero's back as he left, ignoring Verita's question..
What the hell?
“ah. Now that I think about it, brother, have you decided on a clan to join??”
“clan? ah. First of all, I received a love call..”
“Where??”
“Beowulf. The man who was the supervisor gave me a little nudge..”
“Ohh. That's unusual..”
“okay?”
“yes. Unless the talent is highly coveted, we don't make recruitment offers during the promotion battle..”
Verita smiled and said.
“Isn’t that why I coveted your brother’s skills? I guess it's because it's a test tube, so it seems like it has eyes to see..”
“But you have to join the clan?”
“Not really, but there are many advantages to just going in..”
“Then you joined the clan too.?”
“no.”
“…….”
I glared at Verita for a moment..
Verita said sheepishly.
“Thankfully, many people gave me suggestions, but unfortunately I am a bit busy..”
“Is that so? Anyway, what are the benefits of being in a clan??”
Anyway, if it helps me achieve my goals, joining a clan might not be a bad choice in the end..
“Basically, repairing and selecting missions becomes convenient! There is no need to go through the hassle of finding a mission that suits your level, and the clan will help you find the right job for you. Of course, it costs a little bit more in the middle price..”
“also?”
“You can also get help from other senior heroes. For example, if you are a C-rank or lower hero, the clan's veteran hero will accompany you on a slightly dangerous mission..”
“…….”
Neither of them are particularly attractive..
In addition, Verita explained various advantages of clans..
You can learn from each clan's skilled instructors, you can rent high-quality equipment stored in the clan, etc..
Of course, even after hearing the whole story, I wasn't particularly interested..
“ah. And each clan has its own area..”
“area?”
“yes. Brother, you too will have to decide once this promotion match is over. Will he be active without any particular affiliation, or will he be active in a branch?.”
“It's my area.…….”
I thought for a moment.
The place I'm heading to soon is the Utgarde camp in the north..
If so, maybe…….
Is there a Heros branch near Utgard??
* * *
There is a huge indoor training center built at Heros headquarters..
This training center, named Gymnasium, was large enough to accommodate up to 5,000 people.…….
It was a multi-purpose facility where not only training, but also group sparring, various events, and statement ceremonies took place..
Of course, such events are not held often, so the atmosphere in Gimnacion was generally moderately noisy with heroes training..
But today, unlike usual, Gymnasion was unusually crowded..
“…no. But why are there so many people today??”
C-rank clan.
[Ramon, a member of [Corrupted], looked around with wide eyes..
Of course, there are quite a few cases where spectators participate in the promotion battle, but in normal times, the number of spectators is around a few dozen at most..
However, the number of people who flocked to Gimnacion today seemed to be hundreds at best..
10Even Ramon, a veteran hero, was surprised as it was his first time seeing a scene like this..
“They say most of the challengers in the promotion match are celebrities..”
“Anyway, it looks like there are a lot of A-level clans, right? Uh, uhh! Look over there! [Desert Scorpion]!”
Ramon shouted as he saw a group of people dressed in southern attire and giving off a sinister aura that could hardly be considered heroes..
“Those people over there look like the [Brotherhood]? Moreover, from [Frost El] to [Bacheon Sword Order]... … . No it! Those giants are [Goliaths]! I heard there are no giants among this challenger. Why did they come??”
“Hmm.”
“Lady, really. Are you listening? older brother!”
“It's not a brother, it's a boss. And of course I'm listening.”
A man with unusually pale skin muttered in a low voice..
He had long gray hair, red eyes, and an aristocratic appearance, but he didn't feel particularly old-fashioned..
It was because of his expression that made him look like he was bothered by everything and his strangely shabby appearance. Crumpled shirts, soup-stained sleeves, and dented shoes..
This man, who is very far from the word hero, is Lanfero, the clan leader of [Corrupted]..
He hoped to be called 'boss', but he was also an unfortunate person whose wish was not fulfilled by any of his clan members..
“And what is there to be strange about? Take a look at the faces of the challengers coming out this time..”
Lanferro threw the document he had taken out of his pocket into his subordinate's face..
“Keck.”
“Respected by a genius alchemist, the next great wizard... … . Above all, there was even a bloody mace from the 72nd school..”
“You mean Sister Razvet? lol… You are a beautiful person. I think his title is wrong..”
“okay. That's what all the idiots who never went on a mission with her said..”
“yes?”
“Would you believe me if I told you that you seem to like blood more than me??”
“no way. no way.”
Lanfero clicked his tongue. Call this guy your subordinate…….
“anyway… A big guy like that won't even look at a weak clan like us anyway, so let's just skip it..”
“Then who are you going to target? Wizard?”
“That's stupid. Don't you know how picky wizards are? From the beginning, they were thinking of picking on the hero in order to use him as a means to an end. There are quite a few benefits just by being a hero. In fact, the person taking this test is a guy who is semi-confirmed to be the next Archmage of Seven Colors, so how are we going to deal with a guy that even most A-level clans have to pay attention to??”
“Then it's either Alchemist or Ghost Chang.?”
“The alchemist was absent, sending the golem he had created as a substitute, and Guichang's clan was already assigned..”
“uh… Then who is left?.”
Lanfero said with a smile..
“mercenary. And the gold fairy.”
Ramon burst out laughing at those words..
“Hahaha! What is a gold fairy? That's a funny nickname.”
Wow!
At those words, Lanfero immediately struck his subordinate's head..
“evil! why!
“You should at least read the newspaper and live. Especially when it comes to institutions, I always told them to pay attention.?”
“Ugh, ugh.…….”
“Okay, just concentrate. Because we also have to see how they fight... … . To save even one person-.”
“Can you save at least one person??”
Then a mocking voice joined in..
A middle-aged man wearing a robe was walking, and his overall appearance and, above all, the wand in his hand revealed that he was a wizard..
“Keck.”
Ramon's face immediately changed to a bug-bitten expression. The middle-aged man looked at that and smiled slightly..
“Lanfero, you're terrible at managing your subordinate's facial expressions..”
“Never mind. Why are you so interested in other household chores??”
“There is bound to be a lot of interest. The fate of this corrupt clan will soon be decided. After falling all the way from class A to class C, it was finally disbanded... … . I think this is the most humiliating ending in the history of the Heros Clan..”
“…….”
At these words, Ramon's face hardened and he chewed his lip, but Lanferro still responded with a calm expression..
“Okay, okay. Okay, just go..”
“joy…….”
As the clan leader Lanfero showed an indifferent reaction, the wizard also made a distorted expression and left..
Ramon, who was looking at the back, said.
“…That guy is really persistent too. Why are they so upset that they can't catch us? At that time, mind your own business..”
“They're probably trying to eat our territory..”
“Yeah? Why that barren, empty land? Since it's close to the camp, there haven't been any incidents, so it's the worst to improve performance..”
“As the area in charge increases, it will be more advantageous to be promoted to an A-class clan. Well, the subsidies will also increase..”
“That's snobbish..”
“okay. It's an era where even heroes are becoming snobbish..”
Ramon, who put his hips back together again, looked at the stage and asked.
“Come to think of it, who is the A-class hero who will play the opposing role??”
“Hey, it's coming out now..”
Several heroes appeared from the direction Lanferro pointed to..
Ramon looked at that face and was surprised..
“no… Is that real??”
“hmm.”
Even Lanfero was a bit surprised this time..
“Gunman Baron and Owl Doudon. And is it Heiro, a strong sword?.”
Even if the first two are the same, the last one is somewhat unexpected..
Heero Badknicker.
Among the current A-listers, he is the most famous and promising person who can be counted on one hand..
Considering his growth rate, it is certain that he will one day reach the S-level level..
‘It's unexpected…….’
Lanfero stroked his chin..
Strong Sword Hiiro is a hero who is considered a strong character among the A-classes, and is usually a very busy person..
Some people even say that Hiiro is crazy about performance..
This is because the amount of mission performance was so overwhelming that it was even compared to the same A class..
so surprising.
A-level hero.
Among Heros' many heroes, they are a very small number, and their number has never exceeded a hundred in history..
However, because the places that needed this core power were always overflowing, they were experiencing a chronic manpower shortage..
3In a car promotion battle, acting as an opponent to a challenger is a necessary task, but it is generally not a welcome task for the hero..
It's kind of a waste of time?
Since you don't even get paid, it's really volunteer work..
Of course, it is not without advantages..
This was because among the guys who participated in the promotion battle, I could keep an eye on the guys who were likely to make a big splash..
‘However, Heero Badniker will not have any clan affiliation.?’
Lanferro thought for a moment and then realized, “Ah.”.
‘Luan Badniker.’
Maybe it's to check the brothers' skills firsthand..
‘I'm unlucky.’
Even Lanferro knows that Badniker's brotherly relationship is not very cordial..
Perhaps the reason Hiiro applied for the promotion was not to give his youngest brother a generous score..
I don't know if it's the other way around.
“Hey… … . These challengers are unlucky..”
“why?”
“Why? That's because all the test tubes this time are monsters. Not only Heiro Badknicker, but also [Gunslinger] and [Owl] are quite strong among the A class.?”
“Hmm.”
Lanferro laughed and said.
“I think it's the opposite.”
“On the contrary?”
“okay. This is the reason why only the strongest among A-level heroes were chosen..”
“……?”
Historically, there has never been a case where a challenger has beaten the examiner..
That's natural.
This is because the grade of those who take the promotion test is generally B or lower, and most of them are also C..
The difference between C-level and A-level is generally much greater than that between a rank knight and a knight leader..
If you fight a hundred times, you will definitely lose a hundred times..
So the evaluation criteria for this promotion match is not win or loss..
‘but…….’
The faces of the challengers competing in this promotion match are unusual..
Rookies who aren’t even worthy of being called prospects.
‘Surely I can see it today??’
This is an unprecedented situation where a challenger defeats the examiner..
Lanferro looked at the stage with a pounding heart for the first time in a long time..
The purpose of recruiting talent was forgotten..
