I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 315
315fury
Atsu felt dizzy..
How should I express this feeling right now??
The flow of the world is changing drastically, but you feel like you are the only one left behind and unable to follow the flow..
“Am I right? Ruan says Sogaju……?”
“Nonsense. Not the eldest son, not the second son, but the youngest son, Sogaju.…….”
When I think about it again, it seems like I'm not the only one..
Some brothers around also expressed their wonder..
“… The head of the family has lost his mind right now. He means that only he knows for sure who he has appointed as chief. There is also a possibility that Luan abused that fact.…….”
“Lady Aquata, you are wrong..”
When Aquata, who seemed calm, mumbled and suggested a new possibility, Benga cut him off..
It was very rude for the employee to interrupt the conversation, but Benga's face was grave. Because there was a reason.
“Even if she is Lady Aquata, she cannot easily overlook distorting the matriarch's will. Of course, as you said, Sojiazhu's appointment was not officially announced. There is still some paperwork left to do. However, the fact that Master Ruan has become the head of Soga is a fact that has been conveyed not only to the current elders council but also to some employees..”
“hmm… sorry. I made a mistake.”
Even Aquata was convinced..
It was something I said as my head got hot for a moment, but the more I thought about it, the more it didn't make sense..
Even if you were a fool, impersonating the head of the Soga family, not just anywhere else but at Badniker's home, was a bad thing to do..
However, if you want to accept this fact, you have no choice but to accept it even though it is unbelievable..
therefore…….
The fact is that Ruan Badniker really became the head of the So family..
‘Now that I think about it, the two guys who should be the loudest are quiet..’
At a glance, Aquata's gaze was directed at Heero and Hector..
Hiiro Badniker, the eldest son who is the most influential person to become the next Soga lord and possesses overwhelming skills and achievements among the Iron Blood Lords..
And although he lags behind Heero in terms of talent and performance, the second son, Hector Badnicker, has a more powerful maternal background than anyone else and is quietly expanding his position by creating his own faction among the institutional nobility..
These two people who competed and kept in check the most fiercely for the position of head of Soga were somehow just silent with a calm expression on their faces..
‘Heiro... Like Luan, I'm from Heros. He went through Bad Knicker's retreat with Hector and then went on to the academy..’
It means that there was a time when both of them managed to get involved with Luan before this situation was created..
Besides, Nero Badniker is also silent with his arms crossed, and Risen is making an interesting face..
‘hard to read guy.’
This is my judgment on Ryzen Badniker..
As Aquata, who has already joined the ranks of the institutional nobility, he observes most humans as if searching for them and draws their inner lives..
This means that even if we share half the same blood as each other, we cannot help but view it from a political perspective..
Among them, Ryzen was the one whose intentions were particularly difficult to guess..
Aquata felt familiar..
The feeling of helplessness I felt when dealing with some of the old, old serpents in the Raspawn family..
I don't know what kind of mess he's been through to make this young guy feel similar to those old monsters..
…Of course, it's not as surprising as Luan Badnicker, who is currently the hot topic..
‘What on earth happened??’
I remember the last sight of that kid..
Sitting in a daze after not receiving any protection and being judged incompetent..
When I saw that, I thought it was bad..
Luan will not be able to make a comeback, and we will never see each other again in our future lives..
As expected, for the time being, only negative rumors about Luan continued to be heard..
It is said that he was kicked out of his family home and spent his time in the outskirts, where he frequently verbally abused and stabbed his employers..
Then when I heard that he stole the treasured sword and sold it, I thought he was crazy.-.
…Then, in less than a year, he became the head of a small household..
There has to be a degree for people to change, isn't that some kind of transformation?.
‘What happens to Badknicker now??’
Aquata quietly started counting..
I have no complaints about my current position. I am also very satisfied with the treatment I receive from the Raspon family..
However, Aquata does not know that such treatment comes from the influence of her father, Badniker..
So, if Sanghyeolgong dies and Badniker stumbles, there is bound to be a change in this treatment..
Even a simpleton knows that the change is not positive..
need a string.
You must have a deep relationship with the person who will become the new head of the family..
That's why Aquata's relationship with Heiro and Hector was not bad. Same goes for Nero..
But that youngest guy…….
‘How did I treat Luan in the end? If only I could give you a word of comfort when I was discouraged…….’
When Aquata's head spins tightly…….
“Hey. Brothers and sisters. Even though I am a Soga owner now..”
Luan Badnicker made an even more shocking statement..
“I have no intention of becoming the matriarch.”
“……!”
What is that guy talking about now??
Aquata stared at Luan's face, but couldn't even guess what thoughts were lurking beneath that carefree face..
Then how should I accept those words?.
‘…just the way it is?’
Take it as truth that I have no intention of becoming the head of the family.?
That's something a fool would do..
Aquata maximized the political brain he had cultivated over the years by being ignored by the system..
There must be a hidden meaning in those words.
I have no intention of becoming the head of the family, and I will not accept succession.…….
ah!
‘Right… I understand. Luan Badniker.’
Aquata's eyes quietly shone..
‘You are confident that the matriarch will not die in a place like this..’
The collectors will report without hesitation what they saw and heard to the council of elders and to the Sanghyeolgong, who will come to his senses someday..
Showing trust and support for the head of the family even in this hopeless situation..
Old people are bound to like that kind of honest attitude..
‘Pfft. We lost a player. I made this mistake…….’
Aquata looked at Luan with burning eyes..
One thing was clear.
Because of the youngest member of the family with that carefree expression, a storm will brew in Badknicker from now on..
“……?”
Luan, who made eye contact, tilted her head..
What are you looking at.
***
The collectors, along with Benga, are ready to leave..
It's late at night, so I'm thinking of leaving for now..
“When you come back to the islands someday, I hope you'll stop by my house. Have you heard of the Raspawn family??”
“no.”
“… This is a family that has produced ministers to the imperial family for generations. It means that there is nothing bad if you open your face. My husband grew up in a single-man family, and that may be why he wanted to have a younger brother for a long time. I can talk to you too-.”
“Ah, yes.”
I gave a cursory reply to Aquata, who was acting particularly friendly, and watched the backs of the collectors leaving..
Are you really planning on leaving it like this??
Did no one notice?.
The moment that thought occurred to him, Hiiro opened his mouth..
“you there.”
“……?”
He points his finger at one of the collectors and says:.
“okay. You have an unpleasantly smiling face. you stay for a while.”
‘oh?’
I looked at Heero with slightly expectant eyes..
If it's as I expected, out of all the Iron Blood Lords' children here, only Heero noticed..
‘Indeed, the first brother.’
When I watch the situation with an excited face…….
All the collectors, including Benga, left, and only the one who was pointed out remained..
The collector with a sad expression tilted his head..
“Whatever business I have to do?”
“I have something to ask.”
“Tell me.”
“Why are you wearing a mask when you are the user of Badknicker??”
“…….”
The surroundings became quiet..
The gazes of Ats, who was lost, and Hector, who was talking about something in front of him, as well as Aquata, who was staring blankly at me, were all focused on me..
Of course, there is no mask on the collector's face..
At first glance, that means so..
“I don't know what you're talking about, Mr.-.”
“Are you planning to play it off? It doesn't matter. I don't like talking too much..”
Heero smiled slightly and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword..
The collector looked at me with a puzzled look... For some reason, it seems to convey the meaning of asking for help..
‘Hmm…….’
And I was a collector for a while… Badniker's Onam disguised as the face of - I saw Ludwig.
Ludwig is a person I have quite a connection with..
I briefly encountered him during Badniker's protection ceremony when I was dealing with a rat that had dared to infiltrate my home.…….
At that time, I sat side by side with Sanghyeolgong and had a chat..
To me, Ludwig was quite an impressive man..
Although his position in the family is only one of the five sons of Onam, he is a strong man who has committed himself to the religious order since he was younger than me and is carrying out missions that risk his life..
So the person I judged to be Ludwig Badniker is…….
Practical experience and mission performance are at least Hiiro or higher..
The minimum strength will surpass Hector.
His acting and political skills are no less than Ryzen's..
First of all, Ludwig is the only brother I've ever seen who treats Sangvis-Blood Ball without hesitation. Sanghyeolgong also did not express any displeasure with such an attitude..
Ludwig looked very embarrassed right now..
Of course.
The value of Ludwig, who is currently listed as missing, is completed through his death..
Ludwig is carrying out a very dangerous mission of gathering information while infiltrating the church..
It wouldn't be strange if you were discovered at any time; you would literally be spending your precarious days walking on thin ice.…….
Even if he was caught somewhere else, wouldn't it be foolish to kill his own identity to completely deny his relationship with Badniker?.
Therefore, the information that Ludwig is alive is a top secret, and only a small part of it is known even to the family..
You probably don't want to reveal it to your brothers either..
‘Even Ludvik has no choice but to come back if Sangvis Ball becomes like that..’
In the first place, the fight between those two should be prevented..
Ludwig is probably hoping for that too and looking at me.…….
But why?.
I had a different idea..
“3If you don't answer within seconds, I will draw my sword.. 3, 2…….”
“Wait a minute, Brother Heero..”
“…….”
Hiiro, who seemed to be ready to draw his sword at any moment, took courage in my words and spoke..
“why?”
“I think you're overheated, so please calm down. I've been thinking about it, but isn't there a reason why that collector hides his identity??”
“what do you mean?”
“That's basically the job of a collector. Since I have a lot of work to do here and there, I have to be good at camouflage, and there are many missions where infiltration comes first. The same goes for that friend too..”
I pointed to the door through which the collector came out..
“Sir Organ didn't say anything in the first place. Could it be that the strongest collector didn't know what my brother noticed?.”
“…….”
Heiro was silent..
My pride may be slightly hurt by my tone, but it's okay because Benga Organ's status is not low..
And my words don't end here.
“Of course, this place is Badknicker. A family that can use some force if they have the strength.”
“……?”
I said with an evil smile.
“Mr. Collector who wants to hide his identity, and Brother Hiiro who wants to take off his mask somehow... … . Since our opinions clashed, we had to come up with an answer. How about this? Let's fight each other and follow the opinions of the winning side..”
Ludwig glared at me after hearing these words, but I ignored him with an iron plate on my face..
This is because the question that is bound to arise in every man suddenly arose..
On the one hand, he is the eldest son of a family that was mentioned as the actual successor to Iron Blood Duke. A hero who has already been rated A in Heros..
On the other hand, he is a helper in the dark who quietly assists the Iron Blood Ball in his secret activities. An incomparable talent who has been carrying out the crazy mission of infiltrating the church for several years..
Isn’t it truly a battle between light and darkness??
“good.”
Heiro nodded with a warlike smile, and Ludwig also sighed with an embarrassed look on his face..
“…If that's what you guys mean, there's nothing we can do..”
“good. Then let's go out.”
“You are going too?”
“of course. If I'm not there, who will judge??”
“Just call the collector..”
“no way. I just went to rest. How can I call you again? You shouldn't do such shameless things..”
“…You just want to watch the fight.”
I spoke to Hector, ignoring Ludwig's comments..
“Hector, I want to go with you too.?”
“Sure. It's not easy to see things like this..”
“good. By the way, what did you talk about so much with Brother Art??”
Hector glanced at Arts..
Atsu's body trembled slightly as he received attention..
“A brief mental education was provided. Meanwhile, he also told me the full story of what happened at the academy. I explained it slowly and clearly enough for even a fool to understand, so I won't do anything stupid anymore..”
“aha.”
That's why he looked particularly mesmerized..
Atsu is the guy who respects Hector next to the Iron Blood Ball..
This is because he sincerely admires Hector, who created a faction among the nobles at a young age..
Since I was exposed to the object of such admiration for tens of minutes, it is no wonder that I am infatuated..
At that time, Atsu came up to me and said with a somewhat blank face..
“…Luan Badniker.”
“yes.”
“Yes, I heard about your past activities from Brother Hector. To be honest, it's still hard to believe. They say that if it weren't for your actions, at least hundreds of people would have died in the disaster at the academy.…….”
“It could have been so if things had turned out badly..”
“is it…….”
Atsu looked at me with faint eyes..
“Brother Hector, Brother Heero, and even Brother Risen showed their approval of you. You said that you made a great contribution to the northern part of the country. If that is true, then your appointment as head of Soga was not an unreasonable decision, but rather a foresight of the head of the household. So what I want to say is…….”
What is it?.
As I stared, Atsu said.
“…Can I call you brother??”
“Are you crazy?.”
I saw Hector.
“What did you say that made people look like this??”
“…I guess the training was a bit excessive..”
Hector replied, slightly avoiding his gaze..
As expected, there is no one in this house except me..
