Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 314
314fury
The name of the owner of this rather goofy face is Arts Badniker..
It's been so long since I've seen him that I couldn't think of him for a moment, but he's not someone whose relationship with me is so easy that I can easily forget him..
Anyway, in my past life, like Hector, he was the brother who treated me the worst..
Actually, Arts has a lot in common with Hector..
The fanatical worship of Iron Blood Prince, the arrogance unique to nobles, and a cheap attitude... … . The only difference is that Arts feels more vulgar than Hector.?
Unlike Hector, who felt an aristocratic elegance no matter what he did, I did not feel such elegance from Atsu..
Unlike Hector, who established his own faction by continuing to interact with not only the institutional nobility but also the imperial family at a young age, his actions were also passive.…….
In short, Arts Badniker is a backwards compatible version of Hector Badniker..
I feel strange.
In my past life, I wanted to beat him to death every time I thought of him, but looking at him now, I thought he was pathetic rather than angry..
I feel like swinging my fist is lowering my status.?
Atsu, who was confused for a moment, cleared his throat and spoke to me again..
“Is this really the end of greetings??”
“Is that possible? How have you been, brothers?.”
At this time, I had no contact with my sixth son, Ats, or even my sixth son, Dolver, so I did not ask them personally and greeted them at the same time..
Was that annoying again?.
The moment Atsu's eyebrows twitched, Dolver looked at me and said.
“Long time no see, Luan..”
It was an unexpectedly friendly voice..
Badniker's sixth son, Dolver Badniker.
In terms of brotherhood, he is right above me, but I don't really know him..
Not only personal friendships, but even bad relationships..
This is because I had never hung out with this person even before I received his protection and was declared incompetent..
Dolver's personality was not like that of a badniker..
He was quiet, simple, and frugal, and perhaps because of that, his hair was black, almost a gray with low saturation..
That brother was looking at me with an interesting face for some reason..
“I heard about it from Professor Alec. It seems like he thought very well of you..”
“Professor Alec? ah.”
Come to think of it, Dolbert was an outstanding scholar..
Although he is not good at martial arts, he is a genius who is the youngest person to be appointed as a professor at the academy..
In the not-too-distant future, each archaeological paper published by Dolver will cause a huge stir in the academic world..
From what I'm saying, it looks like Professor Alec took a liking to me after hearing my story..
Professor Alec's subject seems to have been historical geography, and the subject has many connections with archeology..
If you have already been assigned a position at the academy, there is nothing strange about your friendship with Professor Alec..
“Also, Dean Alderson... No, the former dean also-.”
“Hey, I thought we were gathered here to chat.?”
Atsu interjected in a snarky voice..
“Luan Badnicker, if you're the youngest, act like one. Do you only say hello to your older brothers and treat your older sisters like sacks of barley??”
“ah.”
It's not wrong..
I saw five women sitting across from me..
Eyes mixed with interest and curiosity were directed at me, but other than my second daughter, Nero, there was no one I knew in particular..
Still, I felt like I had to say hello like Atsu said, so I opened the spout, but at that moment, I heard a knock..
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Then the door opened, and people in pitch black suits appeared side by side..
“…….”
I guessed their identity by looking at their gestures, prayers, and trained muscles that couldn't be hidden even by their suits..
They are Badniker's collectors..
The central figure among the collectors opened his mouth with an expressionless face..
“It is an honor to meet the children of Badniker in one place. My name is Benga Organ, servant of the family..”
“……!”
The guys around me were a little surprised, and so was I..
Atsu muttered in a dazed voice..
“the strongest collector…….”
It's just as I said.
Badniker's Hound - The one who is said to be the strongest among the collectors is a man named Benga Organ..
This is my first time seeing it in person too.…….
Probably the same goes for other guys too.?
As long as you don't do anything against the family in the first place, you won't have much to do with being a collector..
Also, among the collectors who appeared with Benga, I found one more person who was somewhat annoying..
He was a young man with a particularly grumpy face..
It was definitely my first time seeing him, but I felt like I knew who he was..
Hector said.
“Sir Organ, I'm sorry this is my first time greeting you..”
“I agree..”
“So what is your father's condition? Are you still in critical condition?.”
“There was no improvement.”
Answer from someone who represents Badniker's wishes.
It is no different from confirming the fact that Sanghyeolgong is on the brink of death..
Heiro spoke while a heavy silence fell around him..
“Can’t it be cured even with the sacred power of a high-ranking priest? If it's my father's job, I'm sure he's a bishop of the 72 denominations... No, it wouldn't be strange if the Holy Father came in person..”
“If it were a matter that could be resolved with divine power, I would have taken the head of the family and headed to the islands a long time ago, Master Heero. Even His Holiness cannot purify an instrument that has eroded its heart. The instrument... For example, it is a sucker with numerous small hooks. It is deeply entrenched and rooted inside the heart. If you use conflicting divine powers, it will either run wild or dig deeper. It is not difficult to get rid of the instrument, but the impact of this means that the heart also suffers irreversible damage..”
“…….”
“If it were a normal person, it wouldn't have been surprising if he had died long ago. The reason the matriarch is still alive is only thanks to her innate strong vitality..”
Benga's expression and voice were calm..
The matriarch's behavior was recited in an expressionless manner, as if she were an emotionless person, but perhaps because of her strange attitude, it became even more persuasive..
The atmosphere in the conference room became more calm.…….
It was Ryzen who broke the silence this time..
“I could get some good health medicine or elixir, but even that wouldn't be effective in driving away the instrument.?”
“you're right.”
“Then there really is no way now.?”
“Of course I will try everything. However, even if the head of the family passes away, Badnicker should never be shaken. So the reason we are here today is to talk about succession..”
At those words, Hector jumped up from his seat. And she glared at Benga with sharp eyes..
“Are you already treating your father like he's dead? You, the user of Badknicker?”
Benga passed over Hector’s momentum without a problem. The difference in skill between the two is obvious from the beginning, but it doesn't seem to be because of that..
“You are correct, Master Hector. As a mere employee, I have no right to discuss family matters. I'm sorry, but everything I just said is the meaning of the council of elders..”
“what?”
Shock spread across Hector’s face..
Hector's maternal grandfather is also included in the council of elders..
So, it meant that the Anathos family, one of the core forces that make up the huge power called Badniker, was already considering the death of Iron Blood Prince..
“When the head of the family passes away or is no longer able to perform his or her duties as the head of the family, the general rule is that the head of the family succeeds to the position, but the head of the family did not announce the name of the head of the family. This means that, except for a very small number of people in the family, no one knows about the existence of Sogaju..”
“for a moment. The tone is a bit meaningful, isn’t it? Could it be that the head of the family has already appointed the head of the So family??”
“That's right.”
Most of the guys who didn't know the situation looked at Heiro when he said those words, but the eldest son of this badniker had an expressionless face and didn't show any emotion..
“…Come to think of it, when I saw it during the day, I could feel the presence of people in the empty Socheoldang..”
“ah. I saw it too.”
“Has Brother Hiiro finally been recognized by the head of the family as the head of the small family??”
Benga waited a moment until the murmur subsided..
Then, our eyes met, and looking at his empty eyes, it was hard to tell whether he was playing it off even though he knew about Sogaju's identity, or whether he really didn't know anything..
“Wait a minute, Lord Organ..”
Then Heero said.
“I understand what the council of elders means, but my father is still alive. Even though he is not in a good condition right now, even though the probability of death is over 90%, he is still alive. I also don't want to talk about him under the circumstances of his death. No matter how much it is the will of the higher-ups in the family, it is the same..”
“hmm.”
Benga nodded..
“understand. It was a sudden story. Well, I'll stop here today, but keep one thing in mind. Everyone here will have to assume the worst..”
“…Can't I see my father??”
Hector opened his mouth cautiously, and Benga said as if it was an expected question..
“Contact with the outside world is avoided whenever possible. This is especially true for warriors who have trained their bodies professionally and have stored up mana. This is because we cannot know what effect the faint energy waves emitted from the body will have..”
Benga spread his fingers..
“three.”
“three?”
“yes. I'm sorry, but only three of the children here can greet the matriarch. If you wish, please stand up..”
Then most of the children stood up..
All men except Dolver.
On the women's side, Aquata, and Everan, who was unusually quiet, were still sitting..
I got up because I had some business to do, and Atsu's eyes widened as if he was waiting..
‘What happened to you??’
The look in your eyes that says that.
I just ignored him and spoke to someone who also happened to be somewhat unexpected..
“I didn't know Brother Risen would stand up..”
“You're not treating me like I'm too immoral.?”
a little different.
Risen was almost killed by Sanghyeolgong during the last auction..
Even if he was my father, I didn't think he would want to greet the person who almost took his life..
“hmm.”
Benga looked at his child's face and spoke again..
“Unfortunately, not everyone here can say hello to the matriarch..”
“then?”
“You have to select. Fortunately, this place is Badknicker. At any time, at any moment, when competing for limited qualifications, there are certain priorities..”
Benga continued..
“Skills and performance. I will select these two.”
“hmm.”
“I can't help it.”
Even hospital visits are determined based on performance.?
Other families would have asked what kind of crazy thing that was, but all of us badniks were convinced..
Even if Iron Blood Lord had come to his senses, he would have given the same instructions..
“First of all, it's skill. Based on Heros, only B level or higher, for the imperial family, elite knights, and for the magic tower, only director level or higher will remain standing. If there is anyone who holds a position in the organizations listed but belongs to an organization that I am not aware of, please let me know..”
“question.”
Ryzen raised his hand..
“please speak.”
“Recognized by eleven tribes in the eastern plains, and their primitive patterns engraved on my body. How about this??”
“Can you identify the emblem??”
“good.”
As Raizen took off his top, his well-trained body was revealed..
There were surprisingly a lot of injuries, but it was not unexpected..
Since he left home, Raizen has been wandering around among gangs in the west, and he must have fought quite a tough battle to be recognized by his tribe in the east as well..
“Has confirmed. [Bone Lion] It seems to be a pattern obtained from a tribe, is that correct??”
“huh? ah. that's right.”
“I heard that this is a tribe that does not perform procedures unless you are a proud warrior that they recognize. If it were an outsider, the standards would have been even higher. That's enough.”
The moment Benga nodded, someone else raised their hand..
“Being an A-level mercenary is not enough?”
It was Olivia, the Four Maidens who had never said a word..
I was a little surprised.
I didn't know that among Badniker's blood relatives, there was someone other than me who worked as a mercenary..
But I soon realized why I didn't know this.…….
Olivia Badnicker was one of the siblings who died before reaching adulthood..
“It's a bit vague, but do you have any records of performing A-level missions??”
“performed five.”
“hmm.”
Benga thought for a moment and nodded..
“I will admit it.”
So the ones standing there are Heero, Hector, Raizen, and me..
There were three people on the other side, including Nero, Lina, and Olivia..
It was then.
“Hey, Lord Organ. You're not checking properly.?”
Atsu interjected in a snarky voice..
Although there was hostility in his voice, Benga still spoke in an unfazed manner..
“Master Arts, is there something I missed??”
“Of course there is. The unqualified guy is still standing up..”
“……?”
At those words, Benga tilted his head for the first time. And he slowly looks around and then speaks again.
“sorry. I don't really understand what Master Arts is talking about..”
“therefore! There is one guy standing here who doesn't fit any of the conditions you mentioned..”
“Please specify exactly who it is.…….”
“That guy! That guy!”
In the end, Atsu seemed to explode and pointed at me..
“Luan Badniker is still standing there shamelessly.!”
Benga glanced at me and opened his mouth..
“I don't know what you mean. Master Luan is already fully qualified..”
“what?”
“Master, you are Heros' B-class hero..”
“…….”
Then there was a slight buzz around..
I was rather surprised by that reaction..
It's not that I'm overly self-conscious, it's that more people recognize me recently..
‘ah.’
Now that I think about it, it was like that when I encountered the hero in the North..
No matter how active I have been recently, I am still a B-level hero.…….
Heroes that are famous enough to be known to outsiders are generally A-level..
Those below that level only have a reputation among heroes, but surprisingly, they are not known even to celebrities in the system or other regions..
This is especially true for guys like Arts who have no interest in Heros..
“So, did you become a B-class hero because of your work in the system??”
Still, it seems to be quite widely known that Haden Eihar's plot was thwarted in the islands..
Of course, since he even had a direct audience with His Majesty the Emperor,.
Of course, no matter how much you achieve, you cannot become a B-class hero right away..
Seeing him speak like that, I thought he didn't know anything about Heros' rules..
“Aside from that, I went to Heros and took the exam..”
“Nonsense… … . You passed [The Origin]?”
“It's an entrance exam. Thanks to my performance at the retreat, I qualified as an apprentice and went straight to the promotion battle..”
Then Atsu muttered with a devastated face..
“Oh, it's a lie.”
Leaving Atsu behind, Benga spoke again..
“Next is performance. This year or at least last year. Only those who have directly engaged with the denomination and achieved real results should continue to stand..”
At these words, Raizen shrugged his shoulders and sat down… The rest of the characters also clicked their tongues and stuck their butts together..
When I saw things like this, I thought that it would be very unlikely that I would have a direct conflict with the hidden religious bastards..
So the only ones left were Hiiro, Hector, Nero, and finally me.…….
Hector bumped into Haden Eihar at the Academy last year, so I think he hit that..
Heiro and Nero are both heroes belonging to Heros, so they often engage in combat with the church..
At that time, Atsu intervened again..
“Wasn’t Hector the one who was active at the academy? That guy said he would eat it even though it was just a spoonful of cooked rice.?”
“Ah-oh.”
Just cut off the flow.
Aside from the fact that Atsu is a bad guy who doesn't even use his fists, it was annoying to see him picking on every issue..
As I slowly moved my right hand, Hector said:.
“Wow, it's noisy.”
“Tongue, bro.?”
“okay. Close your mouth. Luan passed the promotion battle and achieved heroic results in the North as well. When you're a bastard walking around in the system pathetically selling your feet..”
Heiro also helped out, and Raiden sat down and picked his ear and muttered..
“Somehow, it seems like it's telling me to listen.?”
When Heiro snorted, Benga spoke again.
“great. This completes the selection. The greetings will be tomorrow evening, I will send someone to you in advance, so please rest for today..”
“wait for a sec.”
It wasn't Art who intervened this time..
It was the third daughter, Lina, who had just sat down..
“Are you saying you can only take three people with you? There are not four of you now.?”
“ah.”
Benga, who was in a daze, said.
“You forgot that Lord Soga is not included in that number. that's my fault.”
“Sogaju…….”
At those words, attention was focused on Hiiro once again, and this time Heiro also responded like this..
“For your information, I am not a Sogaju..”
“yes?”
“for a moment. what is that…….”
Naturally, the next person to focus my attention was Hector..
“Neither am I.”
This guy shook his head too, and so did Nero..
Then the eyes of my brothers and sisters finally reached me..
I raised my hand and said.
“Uh, it's me again.”
