Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 313
313fury
Badnicker's fourth son, Arts Badnicker, is very satisfied with his life..
Born into a family that all citizens of the empire look up to - even if it is due to fear beyond awe - he has a striking appearance and outstanding talent..
They say that a life where you can get most of what you want gets boring quickly, but that wasn't particularly true for Arts..
Of course, you are still too young for mental aging to occur..
So Atsu is proud of his family and Badniker..
It's okay to say I love you.
Art also knows very well who all this power, money, and all the benefits he enjoys come from..
Iron Bloodsmith Delac C. Badniker.
Like most children, Atsu also admired Sangvised Ball, and in fact, he went beyond admiring him and worshiped him..
So, when I heard that Sanghyeolgong was seriously injured and was on the verge of death,…….
Atsu almost felt like a religious person hearing the words ‘God is dead’..
“…….”
“…….”
Conference room located on the first floor of Badniker’s main building.
This place didn't have any special interior decoration, and there were only refactory tables that you would find in a large restaurant..
There were five men and women sitting at each table in a zigzag pattern..
The reason for sitting zigzag is simple. Because we didn't want to see each other's faces when we sat across from each other..
And Arts Badniker liked this arrangement..
For Badniker blood, siblings were usually uncomfortable beings, and Arts was no exception. This is true even if they have the same mother..
‘…But I never thought they would all come.…….’
Atsu swallowed dry saliva without being noticed..
It is a fact known to all citizens of the empire that Iron Blood Dukes focus their efforts on raising their children..
As if in response to such investment, the children distinguished themselves from a young age, and their brilliant talents fully blossomed from the time they entered adolescence..
But Arts knows.
It's clear that his talent is superior, but at best it's only superior compared to the average talent..
It was his talent to become infinitely shabby in the face of a true genius..
And among the people gathered here, there are monsters that cannot be measured by the standard of talent..
For example, like the man sitting at the head of the table with a listless expression on his face..
Heero Badniker, the eldest son.
A young hero who is achieving overwhelming results even among the Youngbloods of Heros..
Its skills and performance are already at the top of the elite A class, which is less than a handful of active heroes..
The reputation of Heero the Strong Sword was so high that it even reached the institution where Atsu was staying..
What about Hector Badnicker sitting next to him with a rather stern expression??
Although he chose to join the Imperial family rather than Heros, I heard that he was already performing well enough to be talked about joining the Royal Knights..
If Heros, the hero institution, hones his strength through actual combat experience, systematic education has no place in the imperial family..
The special weapons and elixirs that only members of the imperial family can obtain, and the types of arcane martial arts stored are several times superior to Badniker's library..
In addition, the second daughter, Nero Badniker, is performing brilliantly in Heros along with Heiro..
Those three are the three most famous among Iron Blood Prince's children..
Not only does he have the right to be alone with the head of the family, but he even has a private meal once or twice a year..
From Arts' point of view, this means that they are no different from saints who can hear the voice of God and sometimes meet face to face..
“But it’s true that the head of the family is unwell.?”
A somewhat jingling voice echoed in the quiet conference room..
The eldest daughter is Aquata Badniker..
He is the only one among his siblings who is married, but the clothes he wears are definitely flashy..
To Atsu, that sight was a bit of a cold sight. We're not here for a good cause, so what on earth are we doing with that frivolous outfit?.
“Isn’t it true that Assad himself said it, not someone else?……?”
The somewhat timid voice belonged to the sixth son, Dolbert Badnicker..
Contrary to his appearance, the boy with an unusually short physique was the second married man among them..
I heard that his brain is as extraordinary as his neat appearance, and that he has already been appointed as a professor at the academy. If successful, he would be the youngest.
Of course, it wasn't a talent that could be spotlighted in Badknicker. That's probably why they got married at such an early age..
Aquata laughed sarcastically..
“You never know. If you're a Badniker, you might have done this as part of a test..”
“What are you saying??”
“Don't act naive. You know that this family tests and evaluates us in all kinds of strange ways, right? You had to prove your worth at least once a year. It's already April this year, so it wouldn't be surprising if something started to happen..”
“It's not wrong, but if it were true, I wouldn't have called you..”
It was Hector Badniker..
The voice itself was calm, but Aquata was not stupid enough to not realize the intention behind it..
Aquata asked with a stinging gaze..
“What does that mean? Hector Badniker.”
“Now, you are no different from a Badniker outsider. If the test you mentioned took place, you wouldn't have even been eligible to participate..”
“you… You're treating me like an outsider now?”
“Aquata Raspawn. That's your name now. It's not exactly wrong, right?.”
“rude……!”
Aquata screamed and jumped up, her hair flying wildly..
Mana fluctuated according to the emotions of Aquata, who was also an excellent magician..
However, Aquata, who was showing signs, instead flinched and trembled..
The moment I received Hector’s indifferent gaze, an unknown chill ran down my spine..
‘…When did this kid with nothing but a sword on his head become like this?.’
If you were to ask which child was most likely to be shaken by the news of Iron Blood Prince, everyone would unanimously point to Hector..
This is because Hector's feelings for Iron Blood Ball were deep enough to put even that Arts Badniker on edge..
But now, even after hearing the news from the head of the family, Hector’s attitude was extremely cold..
‘…It is said that only a few spirits prevented the tragedy that almost occurred at the Imperial Academy..’
Is it because of that experience??
Hector, whom Aquata had not seen in a long time, was no longer the youngster that Aquata remembered..
“Stop it. If nothing else, I don't think the matriarch would have called to see us arguing..”
The calm voice was the third daughter, Lina Badnicker..
This girl, who is renowned as a young genius alchemist, spoke with Badniker's distinctive purple eyes sparkling..
“Whatever it is, there must be a reason why we gathered together. A message will come soon through the Council of Elders or Mr. Assad..”
The surroundings became quiet again as the three daughters spoke..
At this point, Art felt like he should also make his presence known at least once..
Thinking that the timing was right, I slowly opened my mouth..
“I am-.”
“You said you were a foreigner, right? Well said, Hector. I definitely see a guy here who doesn't seem qualified..”
Atsu couldn't even utter a sound even though his words were interrupted..
This is because the one who opened his mouth was Hiiro Badniker, who had been silent until now..
‘Seo, you can’t help but see me……?’
Cold sweat formed on Atsu’s back..
Aquata, the eldest daughter, also closed her mouth with a nervous expression..
Heero's eyes scanned the surroundings..
Hector's eyes briefly met and his body tensed for a moment... Heero didn't say anything to Hector..
“……?”
When Hector was slightly embarrassed, his gaze was directed at the owner of the most debauched outfit in the room..
Shirt with sleeves rolled up below the elbows and loose to expose half of the chest muscles..
In fact, Atsu was someone I was constantly worried about..
As far as he knew, the owner of that open attire was someone who was semi-exited from Badknicker a long time ago..
Raizen Badniker, who was trimming his nails while making a snorting sound, pointed at himself with a somewhat humorous face..
“Eh? Are you talking about me just now??”
“I'm glad you seem to know the topic. No. If I really knew the subject, I wouldn't have dared to come crawling back to my home, so this statement is cancelled..”
Raizen burst into laughter, blew on his neatly trimmed fingernails, and said:.
“Where is the topic? Everyone here is the child of Iron Blood Master Delac C. Badnicker..”
“A child? You say something incredibly shameless. The subject who left this family on all fours.”
“Would the bond between parents and children be cut off in an instant just because they became a monk? It's not for nothing that they say blood is thicker than water. The head of the family also said it. Possibilities are latent in the blood.”
“Then your blood will definitely be light. It's humiliating that a salesman like you appears in Badknicker..”
At those words, Onyeo, Everan Badniker, who had recently been concentrating on the fashion business, and Arts, who had been expanding their influence in the commercial world in their own way, also trembled..
“Ah, you know what I'm doing. But is it because Heros only teaches you how to swing a sword? My eldest brother speaks very innocently. Since ancient times, this has always been what moves the world.”
Raizen grinned and curled his fingers..
“money. In other words, a merchant who smells gold and moves money is the real ruler of the world..”
“Money is definitely an important element in life. But I've seen people like you a few times on missions. Morons who pursued profits even by breaking the law and betraying humanity. They said the same thing when the tip of the knife pierced my uvula. He must have blindly believed that the rich money would protect his life. Ryzen Badknicker. What do you think happened to those guys??”
“Dead or maimed, right? Well, only crows among beasts know the value of gold. If you wave a jewel in front of a vicious dog that can only bite, it will only be perceived as a provocation..”
“haha.”
The moment Heiro laughed, the huge table shook..
At that moment, Atsu felt a pressure that made his heart shrink..
A-level hero.
Even in Heros, the atmosphere around him changed just because a man who was considered one of the most elite soldiers revealed a portion of his power..
“Well said. The fierce dog within me is now claiming. Bite the idiot in front of you.”
“Due to circumstances, there are a lot of bastards around, but their teeth have never touched me. I'm warning you, you'd better stop. You're still young, so you should take good care of your teeth..”
Risen smiled equally viciously..
The moment the energy waves created by the two people collided in the air, Atsu barely suppressed the urge to run out of the conference room..
‘Ugh…….’
Actually, I don't know if that could have happened..
Because his whole body didn't move as if it were tied down..
Before we knew it, sweat was forming on Atsu's forehead..
‘Hey, someone please……!’
That's the moment.
Hector, who had been silent, spoke.
“You two, leave it at that..”
It's not just about dissuading.
Hector's voice resonated clearly in the surroundings, naturally dispersing the energy waves of the two people entangled in the air..
Atsu's eyes widened..
‘No, it’s amazing mana command..’
Not only the commanding ability, but also the nature of the mana itself was strong..
it's not strange.
From a young age, Hector consumed expensive elixirs like a meal. It was thanks to the power of his maternal family, the Anatos family, that they were so powerful..
Hector, who only recently fully absorbed the mana he had accumulated since childhood, was second to none in terms of mana reserves..
“Are you interfering? Hector Badniker.”
Heero's eyes turned to Hector..
Hector looked straight into that gaze..
I used to not have the confidence to look into those eyes, but not now..
“I understand how Heero feels. But today is not a place to fight or keep in check among ourselves. Like Lina said, there must be a reason why we gathered together..”
“Tsk tsk. The second brother is also really great. Since when did you become successful enough to represent Badniker's wishes??”
“Risen. You too, do it in moderation. Heero-nii is not the only one who is uncomfortable with your words and actions..”
“If you feel uncomfortable, adjust your posture and sit down. Don't just talk loudly. It's been a while since I came home, so I guess I can relax a bit.?”
Nero sighed at Raizen’s words..
The atmosphere that seemed to have eased for a moment cooled even more rapidly..
at that time.
Suddenly.
The door opened somewhat roughly, and a carefree voice was heard that did not fit the atmosphere that was frozen to the limit..
“ah. This was the conference room.”
The person who opened the door and revealed himself was a platinum-haired boy, with only black hair and a very strange appearance in this place..
Is it a servant??
But how can you be so rude??
Artz was thinking like that in a daze..
‘uh?’
I soon realized that the boy's impression was somewhat familiar..
‘Luan Badniker?’
Come to think of it, there was that guy too..
A guy whose presence is much more obscure than the missing Ludwig..
The Luan Badniker that Arts remembers was a pitiful guy who always stayed alone and acted like a jerk whenever his brothers got together..
I heard a rumor that he played a decisive role in saving the Imperial Academy, but…….
Atsu didn't believe the rumor..
Because he couldn't find a single trace of heroism in the Luan he remembered..
‘I'm sure he only put a fork on the table that Brother Hector had prepared..’
Atsu's eyes brightened..
My courage soared as if being frozen until just now was a lie..
only one chance.
Among these brothers with strong personalities, the stage was set for them to reveal their presence for the first time..
“what! You inferior bastard, are you here too??”
“huh?”
Luan's gaze fell on this side, and her eyebrows narrowed slightly..
“Uh, Arts?”
“under. okay. This is Brother Atsu. While I wasn't seeing you, I lost my manners in speaking..”
“ah.”
“ah? Who knows, this idiot…….”
Atsu, who was grinning, quickly said.
“Instead of just standing there like an idiot, go and say hello to your brothers. One person, one person. I mean it politely..”
Atsu, who was concentrating on Luan, did not realize that the bodies of the eldest son, second son, and third son were shaking at this moment..
“First of all, please greet Brother Hiiro slowly and politely. okay?”
“hmm… That's not wrong. Should we do that?.”
Luan, who was still, nodded and said.
“hi. Heero brother. how have you been doing?”
“okay…….”
The moment Heero nodded uncomfortably, Atsu's eyes widened..
Who is that arrogant guy talking to??
“Why does Hector seem to have grown taller??”
“…It was a little big.”
“I knew it.”
Hector replied, slightly averting his gaze..
“Brother Raizen is here too. Last time, I was in trouble over a contract. Thanks to that, he became the youngest member of the clan and saved face..”
“That's a good thing.”
“Isn’t the loss big? When I looked at the transaction statement, it was almost the same as the original price..”
“It's not bad, but it's worth the price of your life..”
“aha.”
Fortunately, Risen nodded and spoke relatively calmly..
However, these three people showed different reactions immediately after receiving Luan's greeting.…….
“……?!”
As if we were of one mind, we glared at Atsu..
