Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 246

Once I received the bundle of letters, I returned to my room and looked through them..
I counted them all and there were a total of twenty-one and five..
“Twenty- five pages at a time... … ! Indeed, brother! This may be the first time in Heros history that we have received so many offers at once! It gives me goosebumps.!”
Verita naturally followed me into my room and made a fuss..
Personally, I get more thrills from counting the number of letters accurately with my eyes from a considerable distance away..
I showed the letter and asked.
“I know something about the clans of Heros.?”
“hmm? Well, I know what other people know.?”
“Then, among these, please leave out the places where rumors are a bit dirty or picky..”
“Sure!”
What makes her so happy about being asked to do chores? Verita, with a big smile on her face, received a bunch of letters..
Then I pulled it in front of my nose and started checking it closely.…….
Checking each and every one with bloodshot eyes was as solemn as an appraiser risking his life on some emotion..
I was a little burdened by his attitude, but I waited quietly without saying anything... After a while, Verita finished checking and handed me a bundle of selected letters..
“Here it is!”
“So how many chapters are there now??”
“There are 10 sheets in total..”
“hmm.”
It's still a bit much.
I think it would be good to have about five chapters, but I guess I just narrowed it down to the best of my ability..
I received a bundle of letters from Verita..
Letter paper with different seals on each piece.
I open it, check it out, take a quick look, and then throw it in the trash..
“what?”
“why?”
“ah. You read faster than I thought..”
“I finished reading it.”
“yes?”
I pointed to the trash can and said.
“The content was too cliché. What should I say? It seems obvious that I just wrote it according to the manual. Look at this.”
I directly recited a passage from the letter I was reading..
“…And most of all, all of the clan members who saw you gave high praise to your sword skills.…….”
“ah.”
“The knife is a mess.”
When fighting with Heero, I briefly took out the sword from the first battle and used it all..
Even that wasn't written well..
As a result of clashing with the Seven Sins Sword, I was convinced that if I continued to respond with my sword, I would be defeated by Heero's strong sword, so I immediately took the lead..
“…It's definitely insincere..”
Berita's voice lowered, and the smile disappeared from her face..
‘This guy can't believe it again?’
I quickly cut off the flow before Verita took off..
“no. But it could be like that. Even from this clan’s perspective. How many recruitment offers like this have been sent out so far? Sometimes I doze off while writing, sometimes it's annoying, and then I can make mistakes..”
“However, it is difficult to tolerate such disrespect for your brother..”
It's hard to tolerate.
The moment I heard those words, the person who should not be most visible at times like this raised his head..
This guy is called curiosity..
“What if it is difficult to tolerate? I'm going to attack the clan alone and fight these guys to the death.?”
I'm not being sarcastic, I'm purely curious..
Because I was curious about how this crazy woman would respond to the clan she had declared as her enemy..
Then Verita smiled softly and said,.
“Is that possible? If it's an A-level clan, even I have no chance of winning in a head-to-head match. So, on the contrary, you should join that clan and slowly destroy it from within. It takes a long time, but it is the most reliable method..”
“…….”
“I guarantee you, they won't even realize why their clan is declining..”
…I asked for no reason.
I quickly apologized..
“do not do that. please.”
“hmm… yes.”
As I read the letter, leaving behind a slightly depressed Verita,…….
I was a little surprised to see a clan name I knew..
“There is also a Pacheon Geomdan..”
I thought that Pacheongeom guy was really great too..
Even though Iron Blood Prince had expressed his intention to reject it to his face, he had the audacity to send another recruitment offer.…….
This is difficult unless you have fairly thick facial skin..
In addition, there were clans such as [Frost El], [Full Moon], [Brotherhood], and even the [Desert Scorpion] mentioned by Chain Scythe..
I looked through the benefits of joining a clan and then immediately discarded anything I didn't like.…….
It was difficult to treat just one piece that way..
Verita said with slightly relaxed eyes..
“That is the legendary [Black Rose Letter]... … . This is my first time seeing it in person..”
“…….”
I was about to say something like a legend, but I just held back..
In the first place, most of the actions of Iron Blood Prince were preceded by modifiers such as ‘legendary’, ‘mythical’, or ‘unprecedented’..
“Are you going to join the [Black Rose Order] as expected??”
Verita said in a slightly regretful voice..
“Why is your expression like that??”
“hmm. If I join the Black Rose, I probably won't be able to join it..”
“ah. okay?”
It's nice to hear it, but…….
I looked down at the purple letterhead..
Sure, it's quite attractive to be able to shake off this leech-like woman, but…….
“…On hold for now.”
No matter how you think about it, being tied up with an iron-blooded baller, even in Heros, carries a lot of risk..
Actually, from my perspective, both Sanghyeolgong and Verita are equally dangerous beings.…….
To put it bluntly, rather than Verita, whom I can control to some extent, I am more wary of Sanghyeolgong, whom I have no idea what he is up to..
Even more so now that Verita has caught up..
“Brother…….”
I continued my thoughts, ignoring Verita, who gave me a moved look..
For similar reasons, it is difficult to join a high-ranked clan..
It is clear that the more powerful a clan is, the more powerful it will be, and it will not be easy to deceive the spirit of those people..
“It's all bad.”
In the end, I threw all the letters in the trash can, but Verita next to me nodded and said,.
“Surely, there is only one organization on the entire continent that is suitable for you, brother..”
“…….”
okay. And at least it won't be a colorless faction..
The moment I was thinking that, I heard the knock again..
I opened the door thinking that there would be a lot of customers today..
It's not a welcoming face at all.
There was a quite unexpected person standing there..
“sister?”
“…hmm.”
It was Nero Badknicker..
“Is there a problem?”
“I have business.”
Nero looked at me with complicated eyes and asked carefully..
“however… Did I perhaps disturb you??”
This was said while looking at Verita who was inside..
I quickly dismissed the unpleasant misunderstanding..
“Not at all.”
“Good luck then. Just follow me.”
“You have to know what's going on so you can follow along..”
“This is a call from the head of the department..”
“general manager…….”
I mumbled in a daze, then suddenly came to my senses..
“…The general manager?”
* * *
Heros' position, rank, and rank are more complicated than you might think..
Fortunately, it is easy to distinguish between positions because there is a grading system that even outsiders can easily understand..
From S class to D class, the top and bottom are clearly visible to anyone..
However, if the hero belongs to a clan, a different position will be created from Heros' normal rank..
It doesn't necessarily have to be a clan leader or vice-clan leader..
And most clan leaders also hold the position of branch leader, which is also unavoidable..
Generally, every clan has an area in charge, so being the leader of a specific branch is also one of the clan leader's roles..
Although he said he was a branch manager, he is also said to have a level depending on the scope of the area he is in charge of and the level of risk in the area..
And the one who stands at the top of this complex system is only one hero among many..
He is the head of Heros..
Of course, fame, honor, and power are also at a great level..
As a simple example, a single piece of paper can generate enough power to level several cities..
Director Lee is even in a position to have a three-way meeting with the Emperor and the Pope at a meeting held once every 10 years..
The symbolism of the existence of this director can be seen in the fact that each person stands shoulder to shoulder with the highest authority in the imperial power and religious power..
As I heard about what I knew or had newly learned from Nero Badniker, I hid my nervousness inside..
‘Such a great man called me.?’
After the Purgatory Festival, Heros' general manager is said to be the next one..
It's literally a mountain beyond a mountain..
At this rate, I'm even starting to wonder if I might even have a conversation with the Pope..
Even the head of Heros was, in some ways, a more secretive figure than the Purgatory Emperor.…….
Where did you perform and what activities did you do? I've heard some rumors, but.
Other than that, I haven't heard anything about his personality, characteristics, main weapon, or even his facial expressions..
It's not like he's confined to the imperial palace like Purgatorio, and he seems to be moving around quite a bit..
I remembered a few things I knew about Heros' general manager..
The name is Taon Glad..
Tinnitus is gold blood..
Currently serving as head of department for 100 years.
As can be seen from the above, not human.
“We're all here.”
I raised my head at Nero’s words..
I saw a large door that appeared to be the headquarters manager's office, and a familiar face was standing in front of it..
“Heero?”
“…Heero?”
“…older brother.”
I looked at Hiiro while asking and answering questions that were somehow welcome..
Other than his complexion being a bit haggard, he looks better than I thought..
‘but.’
I wasn't seriously injured, I was just exhausted after putting all my effort into it..
Rather, I thought that the aftereffects on my side that won might be greater..
Hiiro, who happened to see my hand with a burn on it, asked:.
“What's wrong with that hand??”
“This is a side effect of the technology I used yesterday. It was quite a risk for me too..”
“hmm.”
Heiro grinned and said something unexpected..
“Then you can also see it as the scars I left behind..”
“what… Think whatever you feel comfortable with..”
Anyway, it seemed like this guy also had business in the headquarters director's office.…….
As I stood there wondering who to call first, I heard a voice from inside..
“Please come in.”
This probably means, two people together.?
Heero and I exchanged glances and then entered the general manager's office at the same time..
There were two men in the spacious room, a blond man sitting in the office and a silver-haired man standing stiffly next to him..
In many ways, the appearance and atmosphere were very contrasting..
‘who is the general manager?’
Of course, he is the person sitting in office, but what can I say?.
I'm not sure.
This is because the sight of a young man sleeping, almost lying down on his desk, drooling, did not at all seem like the head of the headquarters..
“Ugh…….”
The moment I raised my head halfway with a groaning sound, I could smell alcohol..
The frowning silver-haired man said.
“Director, please stand up now..”
“Ugh… … . Is it meal time already? Jerome, I'm sorry, but please bring some for me. A stew filled with hot and well-boiled radishes.…….”
“It's not meal time. You didn't sing two badniks today, did you??”
“…Badknicker?”
A deep voice came out, and finally the man called the head of the department raised his head..
What should I say about my cheek, which still has desk marks on it? It really had no weight. Even more so with half-closed eyes..
“It was like that... … . ah… It's so annoying I'm dying…….”
“Wipe the spit off your face and please maintain your dignity..”
A person named Jerome standing next to him spoke as if he was frustrated, but the general manager's expression or attitude did not change at all..
Still, I wipe the spit stains with my sleeve..
And still asks with bleary eyes.
“…Why did I call these friends??”
“He said he had something to say about rating adjustment..”
“ah… It did.”
Taon nodded and then his gaze turned towards this direction..
“Huh... greatness.”
hem.
And the general manager, who slightly adjusted his appearance, looked at me and said,.
“therefore… Luan Badniker?”
“yep.”
“You caused a great surprise in the promotion match yesterday, right? New heroes are always welcome... … . I salute you for your accomplishments..”
“thank you.”
“So yesterday our hero friends discussed all night long in the conference room and came to a conclusion? But before executing this, I couldn't help but ask your opinions, so I called you here..”
I nodded..
“Tell me.”
“First of all, Heero Badniker is scheduled to be demoted to B-class..”
I was a little surprised and looked at the general manager, then reflexively looked at Hiiro standing next to me..
This guy also looked quite shocked..
“Delegation… What do you mean??”
“okay. what… As you probably know, originally, Class A was a grade that excluded the demotion system. But this time, something like that came out. Since there is no demotion system, A-level heroes have become lazy and have given up the attitude to develop. To put it simply, the stagnant water is starting to rot..”
“that…….”
“okay. Absolutely not. But the important thing is that enough heroes have come to think like that..”
“…….”
“Of course you are still young. To put it bluntly, it's not stagnant water, but new waves... … . The decisive reason for such talk was yesterday's defeat, so it is not completely unrelated. how?”
I saw Heiro.
Perhaps because he is still young, his face was slightly red and his breathing was also disturbed..
To be honest, I didn't think it would be strange to yell here..
Being the first victim of the relegation system is humiliating to say the least..
This means that it is difficult for a guy with a big ego like Heiro to accept this..
“…I will do that.”
Nevertheless, Hiiro calmed down his temper..
I glanced at this guy with slightly surprised eyes. Somehow, at this moment, Hector’s face flashed through my mind..
“good.”
The general manager nodded..
“The hero plaque will be collected soon, and a B-grade hero plaque will be issued again. It will be processed by today at the latest, so stay at headquarters for now..”
“All right.”
“good. Well, you can leave now, Jerome? Please leave your seat for a moment too..”
“All right.”
What kind of trend is this??
While I was in a daze, Heero and Jerome left... … . In an instant, I was meeting alone with the head of the department..
Taon, who was left alone, took out a hip flask from his pocket and began to drink refreshingly..
“Fuhuu…….”
It looks like the hangover is done with alcohol. If you drink alcohol on an empty stomach, it will hurt your stomach..
“Should I go too??”
“…Wow. no. sit down.”
Is it a burp or a hiccup?.
Taon made an unintelligible noise, got up from his seat, rattled his tea utensils incongruously, and asked:.
“I like black tea?”
“Not really.”
“okay? Then what do you like?.”
“Apple juice..”
“hmm. I'll prepare it next time.”
Taon grinned and sat down in front of me, insisting on holding out a cup of steaming black tea..
Anyway, since it was a recommendation from a superior, I couldn't refuse it..
I took a sip of black tea with a nervous look on my face..
“How much do you know about Sister Razvet??”
I almost spit out the tea I had in my head’s face..
