I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 250
250fury
I once asked my mother, don't you resent people called Iron Blood Ball?.
My mother was one of the most good people I know, but considering the way she was treated at home, it was natural that even a saint would have unclean thoughts..
“Don't blame me.”
Mother coolly admitted.
I admitted it, but the words that followed were somewhat surprising..
“But I can't truly hate you..”
Why??
“He was the most clumsy person I've ever met..”
…….

The human mind is truly like a wave..
It means that it changes from time to time..
Even something you think you did well turns into regret when you look back at it at some point..
Even if the past is full of regrets, when you think about it in the distant future, there are times when you feel like you did a pretty good job..
Unfortunately, what I did yesterday seemed to be the former..
“Wow…….”
It's been a long time since I finished a painful waking up..
Even though I kicked away the blanket until there was nothing left, it wasn't enough. I wonder if it lacks a sense of hitting.…….
It might be better if it was a thick blanket for winter rather than a thin blanket for summer..
My mental state is so messed up that I even think of useless things like this..
I pressed my burning face with a pillow..
…You're over 30 years old and you're treating your father like that... I'm so embarrassed that I'm about to die..
To be honest, I'm more embarrassed because it's not like I don't have a cool heart at all..
This is my first time feeling both coolness and shame, so it's hard to know what my true feelings are..
I pressed my face with a pillow and composed myself..
‘Spilled water, a passing carriage, a flying arrow.…….’
Since it's not my type to discuss things that have already happened in the past, I decided to quickly forget about the current dark history..
One good thing is that Sanghyeolgong didn't chase me and smash my head yesterday..
Actually, that was a bit embarrassing..
If you think about it, Sanghyeolgong closed his mouth from the middle like a mute after drinking honey. Why did he do that??
Is it really a feeling of guilt??
“no way.”
It makes so much sense that I deny it out loud without realizing it..
If Iron Blood Prince was such an emotional person, I wouldn't have said something like that yesterday..
Mindless.
A man without a heart.
That's the person I saw and judged called Sanghyeolgong..
But he didn't come to see me all day yesterday... I think the matter of joining the Black Rose may have gone astray for now.?
“…Let’s just know that and stop thinking about it..”
Now it's time to decide which clan to join..
“This too passes.”
My head feels heavy and my body throbs..
After using the damned daily plan and resisting the general manager's words yesterday, I feel like my condition has sunk even deeper..
In times like this, you have to joke around..
I washed up, got dressed, and got ready to go..
I woke up early because I had a bad night's sleep, but thanks to that, it's still early in the morning..
Heros headquarters is also relatively quiet during times of day..
‘Berita is probably still sleeping too.?’
Today, I wanted to be comfortable without being noticed, so I tried to go out without him knowing.…….
I thought she would definitely remember my traces and trace them, so I decided to leave a note in the room..
[Don't look for it for a while.]
“…….”
What kind of announcement is this from a puberty boy running away from home??
I immediately changed the wording.
[I want to be alone.]
That's it, fuck..
After mulling over and thinking about it, I just chose the most intuitive phrase..
[Please give me some free time today.]
“…….”
It may seem too servile, but let's do it this way..
If this is enough, you will understand..
But why do I keep using it as an honorific??
For some reason, whenever I think of Verita, I get goosebumps in a different way from Iron Blood Ball, so I can't do anything about it..
I left the room and left a note.…….
“oh! hello!”
“…okay.”
It's a surprise.
I thought it was Verita and my heart went down to my abdomen. Luckily for him, it was a postman boy wearing a hat who greeted him in a natural way..
Why, that guy who sent me a letter last time..
“Gold Fairy Luan Badniker! That's right?”
“that's right.”
“Here is a mail addressed to the Gold Fairy..”
“This……?”
“It's a hero plaque! Please return the hero badge you used to me, and also sign it here..”
I nodded and signed, then accepted the hero plaque handed to me by the postman boy and returned the old one..
The material of the newly received B-class hero plaque was unique. It looked like it was made of high-purity, high-quality silver, as it had a shiny silver color..
Come to think of it, did you say that the material of hero cards is different depending on the grade??
“Well then have a nice day!”
The brave postman boy left, I picked up my hero badge, and went out to downtown Tefer for the first time in a long time..
Actually, it hasn't been that long, but so much has happened at Heros headquarters that I feel a sense of liberation..
I planned to eat a lot of delicious food today, meet Evan and Mir when I have time, and go out on my own to change my mood..
But what is this?.
Because it was close to dawn, few restaurants were open..
Immediately change course without having to do anything else.
I headed to the inn.
“yes? The group went to see ‘The Origin’ yesterday.?”
“Eh?”
I tilted my head at the boy clerk’s words..
“There was still some time left before the exam.?”
“The launch of The Origin rarely happens on the announced date. The content of this first test was a change in time and location. Anyone who did not make it to the test location on time was eliminated..”
As the clerk said that, he glanced and saw a group of mercenaries drinking with gloomy expressions..
I think they are probably the ones this kid was talking about..
“hmm?”
“uh…….”
They looked familiar somehow, and they were Chain Scythe's colleagues..
It seems that he came to take The Origin's test thanks to Chainscythe's trick and failed..
“you?”
“good morning. Where is your brother??”
“…Why are you asking that??”
“It doesn't mean anything. We became quite close as we played promotion matches together. I was wondering how you were doing and what your test results were..”
“You watched the promotion match? funny bullshit…….”
Then a sharp voice intervened..
“Noisy.”
It was Lorcan who appeared from the back door..
“Tongue, bro.?”
“why……?”
“If you don't want to get hit, just shut up. Because I'm not at the level of fools like you..”
I waved at Lorcan, who had been grumpy since morning..
“Hello, Mr. Lorcan. Are there any results??”
“okay. It came out just yesterday.”
“what happened?”
“I became B grade.”
“Ohh.”
I gave a thumbs up..
“It was a good fight, so it's worth it. congratulations.”
“Thank you. what happened to you?”
“So do i.”
I showed off the hero plaque I just received..
These words caused a stir again, but Lorcan instead asked a question..
“Class B? you?”
“why? Is it still too early??”
“That's not it... I heard your seniors say you might get an A level this time..”
“senior? What a senior?”
“ah. Yesterday, I received a recruitment offer from [Desert Scorpion]. As I said before, it was a place I had always dreamed of, so I accepted right away..”
Then, when I looked at my clothes again, I saw that a cloth with a scorpion engraved on it was tied tightly around the shoulder..
“aha. That's good. congratulations.”
This time, I used my left hand and gave a thumbs up. Rokan nodded his head with a nervous expression, as if he wasn't happy about my double admiration..
“But which clan did you belong to??”
“I'm still choosing.”
“…okay?”
Chainscythe nodded briefly..
After that, we had nothing to say, and somehow it felt a little awkward, unlike before..
The promotion/relegation battle was an extreme situation, so I didn't run out of things to say, but in a peaceful moment like this, I felt like I ran out of things to say.?
The mercenaries are also secretly watching us in turns, and it seems like my presence is a burden to them..
“Then I'll just leave. Mr. Lorcan, eat well and live well..”
It was actually a farewell, but unexpectedly, Lorcan followed along and asked:.
“Where are you going??”
“Let's eat first first..”
“This inn also serves meals..”
“know. But it wasn't very tasty.”
I felt the clerk boy's glare on my back, but I ignored it..
“You have picky tastes. It must be hard to be a mercenary..”
“Even if I become a mercenary, it will be like that. I don't know anything else, but my refined tastes don't know agreement. This body is the one that started nagging my mom when she smelled the stew she worked so hard to cook..”
“That's immoral……?”
The chain scythe muttered to itself and suggested to me..
“I know a pretty good restaurant. I open it in the morning too. Would you like to go with me??”
“huh?”
“I buy a meal.”
“uh… I like it, but why all of a sudden??”
Chainscythe laughed..
“1, 2I was quite indebted to you during the car promotion battle... Honestly, if it weren't for you, I would have definitely failed in the first and second rounds. This is in return. Don't think too seriously.”
“Hmm. Well, if you say so..”
Among the mercenaries, it was rare to find someone who could calculate the financial relationship so clearly, so I was a little taken aback.…….
Since Rokan will become an A-class hero in the future, there will not be any major flaws in his personality..
I nodded roughly and went out into the city with Lorcan..
Tefer is a big city.
It's nothing compared to the system, but if you were to rank the empire's major cities, wouldn't it be in the top 10??
Since it is a place with a particularly large floating population, it also had a unique feel that was much more prosperous than the actual population..
Naturally, due to the nature of the city, the further into the alley the more complicated the road became.…….
Lorcan was quite familiar with such places..
“You seem to know geography pretty well.?”
“Because it's my hometown.”
“ah… It was my hometown?”
“That's right, but why are you so surprised??”
“I thought the South was home.”
When I spoke about skin color, Chainscythe shook his head..
“This is burnt. Well, since I became a monk, I've spent my entire life in the south, so it's actually my second hometown..”
“aha.”
That means he spent his childhood in Tefer..
Heros, the home of heroes.
It seems that his background may have had an influence on Chainscythe's dream of becoming a hero..
When Little Chainscythe saw a vigilante like Vigilante... This means that a feeling of admiration will naturally sprout in your heart..
Then, at some point, the atmosphere of the alley changed..
It was a food alley lined with restaurants, and there was a delicious smell coming from all around, as if they had been doing business since dawn, and there were quite a lot of people..
“There was a place like this.”
“Among heroes, there are quite a few who are messed up day and night or work overtime until dawn. These are restaurants that target such people as customers..”
“aha.”
When I said I liked meat, the chain scythe guided me to a meat restaurant.…….
The store wasn't very spacious and the interior was old..
There wasn't even a menu..
As soon as we entered, the owner with an ignorant look appeared through the kitchen curtain, glanced at us and said,.
“Are there two of you?.”
Chainscythe nodded, and the owner disappeared again..
I sat down and said.
“The owner is blunt. Restaurants are usually like this.…….”
“Understand. They're a beast people, and they've been living in the east for a very long time. Since I just joined human society, I'm not good at speaking the common language. Still, the taste of the food is guaranteed.”
“All you need is taste.”
I nodded roughly and waited for my food. After a while, the owner brought out two huge plates of steak..
“…woah.”
The meat was dripping with fat from a steak that was almost as big as my forearm..
The smell was so delicious that it made my mouth water, but what was unusual was that there were no other side dishes..
I looked at the chain scythe in bewilderment for a moment, and this guy began to slice and eat the steak with a familiar motion..
“hmm.”
After a while, a satisfied smile appeared on this guy's face..
“…….”
Anyway, I didn't think they brought me there to joke around, so I started eating too..
It didn't seem like it would be particularly healthy to eat meat on an empty stomach early in the morning, almost in the morning.…….
If it's my transcendent digestive power, it doesn't really matter..
And the moment I took one bite, I knew why Chainscythe had brought me here..
“…It's delicious.”
“That's right.”
The meat was soft and not dry at all. Every time I chewed, the juice exploded in my mouth, and when it mixed with the sauce, my mouth was intoxicated..
“What kind of sauce is this??”
“I asked a few times, but they didn't tell me. I guess it's like the store's vision sauce..”
“aha.”
You can eat several plates of meat like this. I ate five bowls of meat in one sitting..
“…You eat well.”
“I starved for a long time.”
“okay…….”
After a while, the chain scythe's hand trembled slightly as he paid for the meal, but I pretended not to notice..
After the meal, dessert was served, and surprisingly, it was apple juice..
“This?”
“It's apple juice. It's made from apples that you grow yourself. Maybe you don't like it??”
“no. It's my favorite juice.”
I just sipped it in my mouth, and the apple scent was refreshing to my nose..
I swore that I would come to this restaurant every time I stopped by Tefer..
That was when I carefully saved the apple juice and drank about half of it..
“What about desert scorpions??”
“hmm?”
Chain Scythe suddenly said something like that..
When I asked what he meant, it was a recruitment offer. I was a little taken aback and asked.
“I bought you food just to say that.?”
“That's not it. This is both a question and a question of intention. If you refuse, I will never bring this up again..”
I thought about it for a moment and it seems to be true. If you look at Chain Scythe's attitude so far,.
I briefly thought back to the benefits of joining Desert Scorpion, but nothing was particularly attractive to me at the moment..
“Thanks for the offer, but that's enough..”
“Right. Got it.”
Lorcan obediently walked away as he was told, and then said this:.
“Where will I go now??”
“well… I'd like to just take a quick look around the city..”
“okay? Why don't you go see your colleagues??”
“I heard those guys have already gone to take the test? Is it The Origin or what?.”
“okay. That's it.”
I tilted my head and said.
“Can I take a peek? I think I'll be in big trouble if I get caught..”
“I'm not peeping. Heroes of Class B or higher are eligible to attend The Origin. This means you can look around as much as you like without having to worry about anything..”
“oh…….”
“I also have a few younger brothers who are taking exams. How about we go together??”
“Then.”
It was the moment I nodded like that..
“young people there?”
A gloomy voice came between us..
I couldn't help but be a little surprised, because it was inside the store that I heard the voice..
Eventually, darkness arose in a corner..
At first glance it seemed like that.
Pale skin and gray hair. He is a young man with overall aristocratic beauty.…….
He had a shabby appearance that did not suit his appearance at all..
Not only the hat he is wearing, but also the coat he is wearing is wrinkled and stained..
But that's not what's important.
‘Was there someone there??’
I can't believe I didn't realize it until right before I spoke up. Could it be that my feelings really tasted good?.
“Who are you??”
“Excuse me, but I say something rude when we first meet.…….”
Saying that, the young man stood up, and he was extremely tall..
190It looks like it's easily over 100 cm, but since I have a slim body, I felt like I was dressing up a scarecrow..
The way you look, the way you dress, the voice, etc.…….
Overall, an extremely bizarre impression..
“…….”
“…….”
Me and the chain scythe contracted our muscles invisibly..
To prepare for unexpected situations.
The young man who was looking at us said with a very serious face, whether he knew about the underlying work or not..
“…Can you lend me some money??”
“…….”
