I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 50
50fury
[[Trial Room] The interior was the same as when I saw it before, but today the lighting is a bit brighter from the beginning..
By the way, it's still an annoying arrangement..
In a way, it feels like malice..
Regardless of the nature of the crime, the person standing below is made to feel like an unconditional sinner..
however…….
“……?”
The atmosphere is somehow different from last time..
I looked up the wall and immediately realized why.
There was only one person on the wall today.
‘That person…….’
He is a young man with turquoise hair that hangs like seaweed..
Archmage Assad.
He is a man so rare that he is given the nickname of a recluse. Why is the author here?.
“You came.”
Even from the way he spoke, it seemed like he was waiting for me..
I looked up at his face blankly and greeted him according to the etiquette..
“nice to see you. Badknicker's-.”
“I’m done with the stiff greetings..”
“yes.”
“sit down.”
At Assad's words, I placed my butt back on the table where I had placed my items last time..
At this point, I wonder if this is my exclusive seat..
I looked at Assad and asked him what I was most curious about..
“Where is the council of elders??”
“It's right in front of you.”
“Was Assad also a member of the council of elders??”
“It's not official, but we are affiliated. It's like an honorary member..”
This is a fact I didn't know.
Assad was looking at me with a sad look on his face..
He looked like he was being forced to take on something he didn't want to do, but he didn't seem to have any interest in me at all..
It's not a particularly strange reaction..
Wizards usually have one or two screws missing from their heads, and treat anything they don't care about as worse than dog poop on the street..
I'm not a dog poop, but I think I just think of it as weeds on the road..
“Well then, Luan Badniker, let’s check some facts first..”
“yes.”
“A series of events that occurred in the Gem Mountains. The betrayal and identity of the Fang Knights, the meeting with the sword teacher Calzac, and according to Delak, I heard that he made a decisive contribution to the subjugation of the Jewel Beast. Is this all true??”
“That's right.”
“Afterwards, a sparring was requested as proof from the council of elders who did not accept the statement. This is also true?”
“you're right.”
Assad's words contained only dry truth. It's not a distorted, exaggerated rumor, it's the truth..
Looking at his attitude, it doesn't seem like he will make a particularly harsh decision..
Was Keian worried for nothing??
“good.”
Assad clenched his chin with a bored look on his face..
“It seems like the council of elders was being unreasonable, but you brought up the story about sparring directly from your own mouth. And if you're a Badknicker, you have to take responsibility for every word you say..”
“…….”
“Your opponent will be an apprentice knight of the Iron Blood Knights. It'll be okay?”
An apprentice knight?.
I expected that they would definitely send a strong member among the members..
Since I didn't answer, Assad pressed me with a look of annoyance..
“It doesn't matter.”
“okay? If it's okay with you, I'd like to proceed with the sparring now, but if you're not feeling well, you can postpone it for a day or two..”
“no. Let's do it now.”
“Then come to the training hall in the garden. Right Now.”
Shook-.
With those last words, Assad disappeared..
Did you use magic??
‘If possible, I'll take you with me..’
I left the trial room grumbling..
* * *
Of course, as it is the home of the extremely large Badniker, there are more than one training ground here..
As far as I know, there were at least 7 of them, and finding where the sparring was held was simpler than I thought..
This is because only one training hall was crowded with people..
“what?”
Why are there so many people??
As I was standing there dumbfounded, a familiar face walked up from the crowd..
It's Arjan..
“Ah, master.”
“what is this?”
“Didn't you hear? The council of elders announced this to all areas of the main house. Master Luan's [Sparring of Proof] will be held this afternoon..”
What is a sparring of proof?.
I listened to Arjan's explanation in a daze, and he said that when I was face to face with Assad, a voice was heard throughout the family..
Let me break it down and explain:.
- The sparring will be held at the 4th training hall of the main house, and the sparring person will be Luan Badniker. This will be an opportunity for Luan, who has obtained new protection, to prove herself..
- If you have time, I recommend visiting..
The packaging was done well, but it was obvious that there was an intention to escalate something that could have been done privately..
“They're trying to bury me.”
“It's a good opportunity for you..”
Arjan said in a slightly excited voice..
“If there were this many viewers, it would be impossible to question or manipulate the results of the game. Take a look. Not just knights and servants, but even great criminals are observing..”
Where Arjan pointed, a group of people were seen holding weights..
‘Is it a major crime?.’
This is my first time seeing everything gathered like that..
“mother?”
“Lord Kayan is with you..”
“okay. Please take care of me.”
“yes.”
After roughly patting Arjan on the shoulder, I head to the training ground..
“Master Luan.”
A voice I heard once called to me.
This is the guy standing in front of the door when I visited the [Trial Room] earlier..
Of the two guys, the more blunt-looking one.
“Time is up. Come to the training ground..”
“okay.”
“Don't you wear armor??”
“Armor? This isn't sparring?”
“yes. But Badniker's sparring is harsh. If you're unlucky, you could lose your life..”
I thought for a moment but then shook my head..
“I'm done.”
“You'll regret it.”
The way you speak is somewhat harsh..
As I stare at him, he adds.
“I told you.”
“okay.”
I went up to the training ground.
As I was twisting my joints to relax, I could hear the other side shaking for some reason..
I was paying attention because I wanted to know something, but a familiar face walked among the people..
“You didn't run away.”
The same blood flows, but a face that doesn't particularly resemble mine..
A face that wasn't particularly welcoming smiled at me..
“I said it. I will teach you soon.”
“Hector.”
“Hector?”
“…older brother.”
I tilted my head and asked.
“They say the other person is a member of the Iron Blood Knights..”
“right. I am also a member of the Order. joined last year.”
“hmm.”
I think I know roughly how things work..
Of course, all of this is not a coincidence..
Could it be that the interests of the Council of Elders and Hector coincided? 'Cause they both want me to be the shit.
As a senior council member, we have secured a talented person who won't say anything even if you beat me up.…….
Hector was an opportunity to truly educate me, who was so annoying to me..
“Would you like to wear armor now??”
The guy next to me, probably the referee, asked again..
Now that I see it, this collector is not mean and seems to be considerate of me in his own way..
“it's okay.”
Still, it doesn't really change my mind..
You can't lower mobility just to increase defense..
Each person has their own fighting style..
“All right. What kind of weapon should I prepare?.”
“hmm… knife.”
I was going to fight with my bare body, but then I changed my mind..
Soon a knight brought a sword of appropriate length..
I pulled out the sword I was holding and swung it roughly..
‘I didn't manipulate the sword..’
Anyway, Hector and the council of elders wouldn't be that mean..
“This is Jane, the notary public in Dalian today..”
The gruff collector's name was Jane..
I nodded, thinking it was a girly name..
Afterwards, the obvious words were exchanged: what is the purpose of this sparring? Since it is a form of sparring, you can intervene at any time. It doesn't matter if you get hurt, but you should never take your life..
And finally I say.
“both sides, forward.”
I sheathed my sword and stood side by side with Hector..
Even then, Hector was smiling so rotten that he couldn't help but say a word..
“Let's stop laughing and be serious..”
“what?”
“I know you're excited at the thought of real education, but this is still sparring, right? You have to do your best for the other person..”
It's a matter of basic courtesy.
Even my teacher took a somewhat serious attitude when teaching me within the framework of sparring rather than education..
“haha.”
Hector let out a low laugh at my words. That ridicule seemed to be contagious and quickly spread everywhere..
Now that I see it, most of the people surrounding me are Iron Blood Knights..
‘Even the bridesmaid preparations are very thorough..’
Hector said with a smile..
“okay. You have to do your best in everything you do to your opponent. But you can't be my opponent. know the topic.”
“Ah, yes.”
There was no use in saying anything to a guy like this, so I just nodded..
Hector's expression hardened, as if he was not satisfied with such an attitude..
“-Dalian, start.”
fault!
At the same time as Jane's signal, Hector quickly closed the distance..
What was faster than that was the speed of the feet, and it seemed as if they were moving with sound..
The blue blade arrived in front of my nose in the blink of an eye, and I struck it down..
Kyaang!
Hector looked slightly surprised, but quickly continued his offensive like a storm..
For now, I focused on defense and observed Hector’s swordsmanship..
‘Is it the secret swordsmanship of the original family??’
That seems to have slightly different characteristics..
Perhaps it is Hector's own swordsmanship, created after being inspired by his family's swordsmanship.?
‘Strong and explosive, generally focused on attack.’
It is a type of swordsmanship that is difficult to regain once the initiative is taken away..
As expected from a guy who was called a genius, the overall perfection of his swordsmanship was very high..
During the brief skirmish, I realized that it would be difficult to defeat Hector with sword skills..
Kyaang!
Should I say it was as expected?.
Soon I lost my grip on the sword..
Hector smiled again as he watched the sword flutter across the ground with a loud clang sound..
Even the offensive was sluggish for a moment..
The smiling face looked as if it was thinking about where to attack..
It's like treating a caught fish..
“her.”
It was so absurd on my part that a bit of ridicule leaked out, but then Hector's expression hardened slightly..
The more people like to laugh at others, the less able they are to stand being laughed at themselves..
I kicked the ground just before Hector’s mouth opened..
For a moment, Hector's eyes widened, and I saw the hand holding the sword flinch, but my fist was faster..
Hector, who had been hit in the face, flew away and fell on the training ground..
“…….”
“…….”
I said without paying attention to the suddenly quiet atmosphere around me..
“Don't split it.”
