I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 53

“sorry. That's hard to say..”
I never thought you would reject me outright.
In this way, no matter how thick the country is, it is difficult to penetrate further..
I muttered, choking on my appetite..
“It's such a difficult mission..”
“I'm not looking for victory. All you have to do is compete with that child sometime. It will be in the form of a sparring match, so you won't lose your life..”
“hmm…….”
So, this means that the fight itself is the goal, so what on earth is Keian's intention??
I don't have any particular predictions, but I don't think Keian has any bad plans..
Because it’s too inefficient and bizarre to be a trap..
“okay.”
I nodded..
I tried calculating this and that, but the reason I decided to accept it was simple..
Ho Seung-sim.
If I had a chance to fight a giant who would one day be considered the strongest in the empire, I would rather ask for it from here..
“So when can we fight??”
“I hope you make a decision before the age of 20 if possible..”
Then the next free period is 5 years, no. Now that this year is over, does that mean there are still 4 years left??
I was thinking about this and that, but I stopped when I saw Keian standing in front of me..
“really. I am using the memorandum you taught me well. Although I modified it a bit in my own way..”
“That sounds interesting..”
“I will show it to you later, so please rate it without adding or subtracting it. And apart from this, I want to ask you something.…….”
“Tell me, master..”
“…….”
Master, not master.
It's not just a name change..
Keian bowed politely and showed courtesy to me..
Somehow, I was confident that Keian would not betray me just by doing me a favor..
It's somehow mysterious.
Among the Badniker characters, there is probably no one who did not attempt to make Keian his direct subordinate..
Although Keian disparaged himself, it is true that being loyal to one family for decades and performing his duties perfectly is an amazing thing..
Even for a collector, saying that this is the most difficult job among badnikers is painful..
So I was able to reveal my purpose freely..
“I need information about revenge.”
“You mean the devil??”
“huh.”
Keian, who had a slightly surprised expression, thought for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“First of all, there is a way to use your home library..”
“The library on the first floor of the main building.?”
“yes.”
“All you can get from those places is general information. What I'm talking about is some deeper stuff. The exact appearance, strength, and characteristics of the evil spirit, the damage it has caused to the actual empire, its actions so far, and, if possible... Up to the current material.”
“…….”
Only then did Keian's expression change..
“… What you mentioned is confidential. It's information that an ordinary person can't even find a clue to, even if they try their whole life to find out..”
I know.
That's why I'm asking.
“If you are a master, your talent will definitely be recognized someday and you will be able to enter the underground library of your home.…….”
Badniker's underground library contains many valuable books and martial arts reference books that are few in the empire..
Of course, access is strictly restricted, so at this point, none of the Iron Blood Lord's children will be allowed to view anything..
Keian shook his head as if he knew that too..
“That's too far in the future. If my prediction is correct, it seems like you want to get information as quickly as possible..”
“Exactly.”
“In my opinion, the fastest way is to first obtain hero qualifications. This is not just a hero with a business card, but a hero who officially belongs to [Heros]..”
“hmm.”
There was a very standard answer..
[[Heros] is the empire's largest hero organization..
A place where anyone can enter if they pass a strict test..
Here, not only the great families, but also the imperial family, nobles, commoners, and even slaves and members of different races belong to a variety of people..
It is literally the largest institution in the empire..
Heros' influence is enormous..
Not only the imperial family, but even the four major religions of the empire could not openly reject Heros' wishes..
“To become an official hero, you need a test and a probationary period, at least a year in total..”
No matter how young I get, I don't want to waste my time..
This means that investing a year to become a hero is something I am reluctant to do..
“In general, yes. But, Master, there is a way to greatly shorten that period..”
“What?”
“Participating in a training session.”
“retreat?”
An unexpected word came out.
“6Badniker's training course lasts for a week.?”
“That's right. Badniker is qualified as a Youngdo educational institution. This means that you can arbitrarily qualify as a hero by passing a separate test..”
“that's possible?”
“Because it’s a badknicker..”
Although unlucky, it is true.
One of the two families that protect the Empire.
“All you have to do is complete the course.?”
“I heard that this qualification is only given to the top 3 students with completion scores..”
“Right. I understand..”
6A week isn't that long..
Moreover, I understand that the retreat is held at Badniker's home, so it wouldn't be bad for me if I could stay in this land full of natural energy..
Anyway, this is a rare water training spot..
“And maybe there is a way to ask the head of the family directly?.”
“To the head of the family?”
“yes.”
Keian continued..
“If the head of the family teaches you directly or allows access to the underground library, who in Badnicker can object??”
If you think about it, it's true..
“However, the head of the family did not even show up at this protection ceremony. Since we do not know when he will return home, he must first obtain permission from the majority of the high-ranking criminals or speak directly to Assad.-.”
At that time, the door burst open and Sanghyeolgong appeared..
“You're awake, Luan..”
“Ah, yes.”
“You probably didn't forget your meal plan.?”
“That's right.”
“Thank goodness. It's a little late for lunch, but is it possible right now? I have work to do in the evening..”
“great.”
“Dress comfortably and come to the 5th floor by 3 o'clock. will wait.”
“yes.”
Sanghyeolgong suddenly looked at Keian and said:.
“Kayan, your face has improved since you retired. I'm sorry I can't invite you to dinner this time. Next time, we will prepare a separate place..”
“yes, yes?”
“Excuse me for interrupting you.”
And Iron Blood Ball closed the door and left..
I was embarrassed too, but next to me, Keian, who looked a hundred times more embarrassed than me, suddenly slapped himself in the face..
“what are you doing?”
“…It's not a dream?”
“…….”
* * *
I left the room, leaving Keian behind..
‘Just in case, should I take this too?.’
I also took the Seven Deadly Sins Sword that I kept under the bed. If you look at the Iron Blood Ball up close, your martial consciousness may awaken again..
If you get the chance to ask about a forgotten era, you may receive advice..
Fortunately, the current appearance of the Seven Deadly Sins Sword only appears to be a toy sword at first glance, so there will be no need to be wary..
You may look at me like I'm looking at a crazy person, but I'm used to that look, so it's okay..
I headed to the 5th floor, fully prepared, feeling like a knight going into battle..
Yes.
It is on the 5th floor of the main building of Badknicker..
Third floor, where outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering.
The 4th floor is accessible to only a limited number of people..
And the 5th floor.
5There is no talk about floors..
Because it is a place where not even rumors circulate..
The 5th floor of the main building is entirely the domain of Iron Blood Workers, and unauthorized persons, even if they are elders, are not allowed to enter..
As far as I know, apart from the matriarch, the only person who can freely enter and exit the 5th floor is Assad, who has been the family's guardian for generations..
So I was more curious than when I headed to the 4th floor - [Trial Room].
Anyway, as I was going up from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor, I ran into a face that I was now quite familiar with..
“you……!”
Hector pointed his finger at me with big eyes..
It didn't feel good to be pointed at in the morning, but I accepted it with great generosity..
“Hello, brother. Your recovery is going well.?”
“…Are you asking that??”
“why. If I hit you directly, I can’t even ask you how I’m doing?.”
Anyway, I don't feel too sorry for Hector..
I hit Arjan and said some annoying things, but I relieved all my emotions by half-killing him..
Of course, if I start talking bullshit again, the emotions that have been resolved will build up again, but for now, it's okay..
“Nice face. It wasn't a wound that would heal in one day..”
“…summoned a high-ranking priest.”
“aha. Damn the money.”
Now that I think about it, this guy's maternal family was quite a wealthy family..
Mainly in a financial sense..
“I think I'll be staying at my parents' house for a while, so let's say hello often. Don't be too friendly, but in moderation..”
Actually, this was something I wanted to say not only to Hector but to all my brothers..
There is no need to fight for life or death, and I also don't want to build a strong friendship between brothers..
While maintaining an appropriate distance and saying hello as you go back and forth.
I didn't have anything else to say to this guy, so I was just going to pass by, but Hector suddenly asked me a question..
“Where are you going??”
“5floor.”
“what? Why is there…….”
“To have a meal with the matriarch.”
Then Hector’s face became very funny..
It's like looking straight at a meteorite falling from the sky..
Hector stammered..
“Why are you eating with your father?…….”
“Because you invited me?”
“When?…….”
“I don't know. Get out of the way.”
To say that, you have to tell the story of your family's ban and your encounter with the Iron Blood Prince..
Of course, there was no reason to tell this guy, so I was about to pass Hector, who was muttering darkly, when this guy grabbed my shoulder like he was crazy..
“for a moment!”
“…….”
“Oh, no. wait a minute.”
He saw my expression and hastily let go of my hand..
Still, after getting hit a few times, it seems like politeness has been created in my head..
Me too, and at this point, isn’t fists definitely needed for character education in Badknicker?.
“what?”
“me too… I will go with you too..”
“Like that. But why are you telling me that?.”
“that…….”
Hector made a hard face and shook his head..
“…You are right. I, I have to go to the 5th floor too..”
“okay.”
I climbed the stairs with an unexpected companion..
