Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 245
245fury
There is a not-so-secret secret at Heros headquarters..
There was a clear motif in the array of these huge facilities, and if you could look down on the headquarters from the sky, you would see a pretty interesting sight..
It is a catamaran that looks like two large ships attached together..
The long building looks like a mast, the wide-open site looks like a deck, and the protruding part at the front looks like a bow..
And the main building of Heros, where the core facilities of the headquarters were gathered, stood tall like a bridge.…….
At Heros, discussions involving shouting, fighting, and even fistfights usually take place at the top of the mission..
Same thing this time too.
The screening of Class A heroes is known to be the most difficult among Heros' 3rd promotion matches..
In the test, you have to directly receive the challenger's power and score it.…….
Absurdly, a situation occurred in which an A-class hero was defeated..
I couldn't even get past it..
It was a large-scale exam held at Gimnacion, and there were especially many promising candidates in this promotion match..
Of course, this means that the audience was bound to be several or even dozens of times larger than usual..
It was not possible to stop all of them, and in fact, it is not Heros' policy to control information like that..
Nevertheless, because it was not an issue that could be easily overcome, many heroes gathered today in the conference room on the top floor of Heros Mission to resolve this situation..
“…So, I told you before.?”
A middle-aged man with a beard like a mouse spoke in a blunt tone..
“Let's eliminate the screening of Class A heroes from the promotion list..”
It was Mouserd, the leader of an A-class clan and Heros' largest intelligence group [Bird & Mouse]..
Of course, that fact did not strengthen this man's right to speak..
When looking at the faces of those who attended the meeting, such a position did not particularly stand out..
“Let's get rid of it?”
The owner of the somewhat sharp voice was a man who reminded me of a wolf. I'm not just referring to his aura, but his appearance really did resemble a wolf..
Not only did the wolf ears stick out from above the hair, but the corners of the mouth were torn below the ears, and the hands had been deformed and had claws growing out of them..
Likewise, PeterPang, the beastman leader of [Full Moon], a famous A-class clan and battle clan, growled..
“It would be better for one rat to change a custom that has been going on for a long time... … . It's funny to squeak.”
“Peter Fang, do you want to have your head eaten first??”
“Try it, you rat. Your disgusting front teeth won't even reach this body's mane..”
There were less than ten people in attendance at the meeting..
This was because heroes were usually always busy..
In fact, the agenda of the meeting was not that important compared to usual, so many people expressed their intention to not attend even though they were staying at headquarters..
In any case, it is not related to the imperial family's check, the church's strength, or the devil or magical beasts.…….
At best, it was a review of the type of 3rd promotion match and readjustment of the A-level screening criteria..
The ten or so people who attended the meeting were divided into two reactions to the above agenda: of course, they were in favor and against..
Mouser from Bird & Mouse approves..
Peter Fang on a full moon is the opposite.
The two heroes who are speaking the most harshly can be seen as representatives of each faction..
Surprisingly, no one expressed neutrality..
Anyway, a considerable amount of time passed after the meeting began, but the differences between the two opinions did not narrow and became parallel..
What changed this trend was the moment the conference room door flew open..
“hmm? Isn't it over yet??”
A man with a natural voice appeared..
An overwhelming physique and a body as hard as a rock that do not match the gentle expression and gentle voice..
“…….”
“…….”
The people in the crowd did not point out the rudeness of this man who suddenly intervened..
This is because he is a man with the qualifications to enter and leave the conference room during a meeting as if it were his own home..
The leader of the Pacheongeomdan and a war hero of the East..
Above all, there are only a few S-class heroes in Heros..
“…Are you here? Maxim Ball.”
Mausud also showed respect to Maksim, the broken sword. Peter Fang, who was growling with his fangs exposed, also closed his lips..
Maxim grinned..
“okay. I came in a hurry because I was afraid I was wasting precious time again..”
“…It's not a waste of time.”
Mousud muttered in a slightly uncomfortable voice..
Maxim laughed and naturally sat down at the head of the conference room..
The fairly large chair could not bear the weight and rattled loudly..
“I think I know roughly what's causing the slump. First of all, let me express my opinion: I don't think there is a need to change the system of the 3rd promotion match..”
“Something like today could happen again..”
“Then you should be happy.”
Maxim said.
“Wasn’t one of Heros’ mottos to secure and nurture talent? It's not like I was defeated by a powerful enemy, but I was swept away by a new wave, so what's bad? New heroes are always welcome. Of course, the defeated A-class hero will have to be very proud..”
“…Prince Maxim, Grade A is the ultimate goal of every hero. And those who become someone's target must pay attention to everything they say and do and maintain dignity. What I want to say is that I am afraid that if things like this continue to happen in the future, their prestige will be damaged..”
This was also the reason why the review of the 3rd promotion round and the screening criteria for Class A had to be considered separately..
Mausud shook his head and continued..
“Even so, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Heros' current hero rating or its review system. In particular, in the case of the A-level promotion test, the problem has always been that the level of difficulty varies greatly depending on the competency of the proctor. For those people, this fight is good prey to bite..”
“If voices come from the majority, it means there is a problem. So how about making an exception to the rule??”
“In what way??”
“After reaching Class A, there was practically no demotion system. Either he betrayed Heros, or he was actually an agent... … . If only it hadn't happened like that..”
“…hmm. no way.”
Peter Fang's eyebrows twitched as he listened to the story..
“A relegation system is also being added to Class A. Like this time, the prestige has been lowered, or there has been no performance for a long time. Only in that case.”
One of the A-class heroes who had been silent until now spoke cautiously..
“…A big backlash from A-list heroes is expected..”
“Of course so. So, you can listen to what I just said with one ear and let it go..”
“yes?”
“As you all know, I actually have no talent for using my brain. Even now, I'm just saying whatever comes to mind. Don't think too deeply.”
Maxim said, wiping the smile off his face..
“But I know from experience. Transformation or innovation of existing systems… … . The first wave of such change is always accompanied by opposition, criticism, and condemnation..”
“…….”
“Of course, the process will not be easy, but it is up to you to decide whether this will be the first step toward change or will end up as the nonsense of an ignorant person..”
“…hmm.”
“I understand..”
As a result, Maxim came to agree with one of the two proposals and oppose the other..
Perhaps because of this, Mausud and Peter Fang, who had been in a sharp confrontation, also softened their stance and closed their mouths..
The meeting that had dragged on for quite a long time has finally begun to be resolved..
Maxim spoke as if he were an ignorant person, but no one in the audience believed him..
The depth of knowledge may be shallow, but it is difficult to instantly identify and mediate the main cause of disagreement unless you have a keen sense of opinion..
“good. Then the meeting ends here.…….”
Maxim stood up, grabbed the doorknob, and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and said:.
“really. So what clan does Luan Badniker belong to??”
* * *
[It was a great herbal meal..]
The first word I heard from Musin after quite a long time was a compliment..
Since he is a martial artist in name, I know that he does not talk nonsense about martial arts..
In other words, I felt proud because the herbivorous meal I came up with on the spot seemed to be recognized as being quite good..
‘Thanks to Musin’s advice..’
[my advice?]
‘yes. You advised me to think of the second half of the Hundred Sun Eclipse as a defense season..’
[hmm. That was the last piece.]
“yes?”
[The speaker's usual attitude towards martial arts, his concerns about martial arts, his concerns, training and skills... … . It's the result of everything coming together. Accept it proudly.]
“…….”
Mushin said in a satisfied voice..
I didn't really have anything to say in response to having my face painted with gold like this.…….
In fact, there were no problems.
The match against Heero is definitely a landslide victory for me..
That's true, but it wasn't without repercussions..
“Wow.”
I looked down at my right palm and shook my head..
[The veins in my right arm were severely damaged..]
‘Yes.’
It is difficult to open and close your palms.
It was a side effect that occurred when excessive internal power was used, but this time the symptoms were worse than expected..
To be honest, the inside of my arm feels hot even when I'm standing still. It feels like hundreds of hot needles pricking my veins..
It was quite a terrible pain, but on the outside it was much more blatant..
There were burns all over my right arm..
I mean, this Ruan Badniker, who almost woke up the First Emperor of Chlorine, got burned..
“…I've had this experience in my life..”
After all, life is fun because it is unpredictable… What is freezing to death.
It's the first burn I've had in a while, so it stings, it's bothersome, it's uncomfortable, and I'm just so annoyed that I'm dying..
[For the time being, avoid using your right arm as much as possible. If you use your internal power excessively, it will only get worse..]
‘It should be like that too.?’
I clicked my tongue and suddenly heard a knocking sound..
I got up from my seat and opened the door.…….
“good morning!”
The woman looked more annoying than the burn on her arm. I said openly with a crumpled expression..
“why.”
“oh. You don't seem to be in a good mood. What's going on??”
“I started seeing an unpleasant face in the morning..”
“OMG. That's a shame.…….”
“…….”
I glared at Verita for a moment, who was truly sad, and then a thought occurred to me and I showed my arm..
“Come to think of it, Sister Razvet had a knack for healing.?”
“That's right!”
“Then this.”
I was initially nervous about showing my scars. The image of a dead knight with his head smashed by a mace flashed through my mind..
“Can you fix my burns??”
“ah… Sooooo.”
When Verita saw the wound, her eyes were slightly shaken and agitated, but she calmed herself down after taking a few deep breaths and shook her head thoughtfully..
“…No offense, but this wound cannot heal..”
It's fortunate that he didn't run away, but what he said was disappointing..
“why?”
“Umm… That is…….”
Verita was silent as if embarrassed, and I quickly realized why..
‘It's because of the pestilence and blue fever..’
Blue flame drawn from a musical instrument as its source.
As you know, wounds caused by musical instruments are difficult to heal even with the priest's divine power..
I don't know if it has divine power equivalent to that of a bishop..
‘I never thought I would miss Hellstar.’
Of course, I can't go to the capital to get treatment from that guy..
As Musin said, we have no choice but to focus on treatment for the time being..
While thinking about that, a question suddenly occurred to me..
“Come to think of it.”
“yes.”
“How did your promotion match go??”
There are six participants in this promotion match.
A total of three A-level heroes were prepared..
In other words, the rule was to deal with two A-class heroes at a time.…….
I made Heiro incapable of fighting. Thanks to this, Verita suddenly lost her opponent..
“The date has been adjusted! They asked me if I wanted to watch the promotion match again in a week..”
“So what did you say?”
“hmm. It's still on hold.”
As he glanced at me while saying that, it felt like whether or not this guy would compete for promotion would be determined by my actions..
Verita asked.
“Anyway, congratulations on becoming B-level! In this way, you have achieved your purpose, brother.!”
“The results aren't out yet, but.”
There's no way I won't be promoted to B class even though I beat A class..
“really. Now that I think about it, brother, have you decided on the clan you want to join??”
“Of course…….”
“…….”
I closed my mouth and glared at Verita, who was looking at me with bright eyes..
“Why are you asking that?.”
“Some clans have very strict conditions for joining. Moreover, there are only a few clans that two of the top clans can join at the same time.…….”
“two people?”
“yes.”
“…….”
This guy too? This is the moment when I thought,.
“It's a scoop-!”
A young, loud voice intervened..
I turned my head slightly and saw a boy dressed as a postman wearing a hat..
“If you recruit a gold fairy, you will even receive a blood-red mace... … ! this this! It's going to be a huge recruitment war.?!”
“who are you?”
“ah. Excuse me… … . You are the gold fairy Luan Badniker, right??”
“…okay.”
The boy who had completely lost my favor with just a few words blurted out something towards me..
“Please take it.!”
I thought about something and it turned out to be a bundle of letters..
“What's this?”
“yes This is a recruitment proposal sent from each clan to Gold Fairy.!”
“This is it?”
“yes This is the first time in my career as a news reporter that I have received so many proposals at once.!”
“…It's a recruitment proposal..”
I took the bundle of letters handed to me by the postman boy and looked through them.…….
Among them, I was looking for stationery with a particularly big presence..
The seal of a black rose on purple letterhead.
“…….”
It's coming.
