I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 61
61fury
I thought as I chased after the suddenly running hunter..
‘I'm thinking of testing my physical strength first..’
This is the first thing to check in order..
Once I used my inner strength, I could run for three days and nights, but this time I decided not to do that and only use my body strength..
In fact, after the retrograde, there was not much emphasis on external attack training..
Unlike internal skills, which can be improved explosively in a short period of time, external skills require constant effort and time..
Of course, that doesn't mean we can ignore it forever..
In order to become the best in the world, you have to master both internal and external techniques..
‘I don't think my skills are comparable to other guys..’
As for the incident at the Jewel Mountains, and as for the Spirit Jade obtained this time,…….
Right now, as well as in the long term, there will be almost no chance of my skills being pushed aside by anyone..
On the other hand, it is clear that I am the lowest here in terms of external attack and body size..
the body is honest.
The more you play rough, the stronger you become, and the more you play and suffer, the weaker you become..
And at the age of 15, I was discouraged at the first protection ceremony and wasted about a year..
This means that becoming weak is a benefit of self-employment..
Of course, I will have to bear the pain that comes with rehabilitation..
I followed the hunting teacher steadily..
I was out of breath after running for about 30 minutes, and after running for another 30 minutes, I felt dizzy..
The tempo was faster than I expected.
My physical strength was worse than I thought..
Then, the purpose of today is to supplement this physical strength..
‘I'm glad I managed to improve my stamina just a little while in the mountains.…….’
If I didn't have that, I wouldn't have been able to run for even 10 minutes and would have collapsed..
Before long, my vision gradually became blurry..
‘yet.’
Still, I held on and kept running..
The human body is stronger than you think.
By my standards, when a person is truly at their limit, they vomit..
Currently my throat is a little sore, but I don't feel nauseous..
Proof that there is no limit yet.
‘Is this why you called me without even giving me breakfast??’
If you ate something, there would be plenty of people who would have vomited a long time ago..
Anyway, the role of a hunting instructor is that of an instructor..
Although they are treating Yeongdo harshly, it is not out of any malicious intent..
I wouldn't expect a result higher than zero level..
So I was confident that this run would end by morning..
* * *
The race, which started at dawn, stopped just before afternoon, as Luan expected..
“…….”
The hunting teacher saw six people who followed him without losing sight of him even once..
‘If nothing goes wrong, these guys will graduate alive..’
This is meaningful data obtained through countless training sessions..
Hector Badniker, Seren Goodspring, Evan Helvin, Mir Giant…….
All four are promising talents who were expected by the family not only during this retreat but also before the blessing ceremony..
Among them, the one that caught the hunting teacher's attention the most was the boy who did not take more than ten steps away from him until he finished the race..
‘Caron Woodjack.’
The son of Hyde Woodjack, said to be the strongest ranger in the empire..
Although I was slightly sweating, my breathing was not at all impaired..
‘This guy is already showing off to some extent..’
The hunting teacher saw Charon's face..
scar across the bridge of the nose.
To the warriors of the plains, scars were not a disgrace but a decoration, and the hunting teacher thinks so too..
The hunting teacher thought that there were probably a few similar scars on the skin hidden under the outer clothing..
Anyway, it's not common to have a scar like that at such a young age..
You know ten when you see one.
I was able to fully understand how Hyde educated his only son..
In fact, Hyde was one of the candidates for the great crime that Prince Iron Blood tried to invite directly..
Iron Blood Prince, who met him in person, changed his mind for some reason, but it is not surprising since Hyde's mission in the swamp is so important..
‘and…….’
The hunting instructor's gaze was directed to the very back..
There stood a person who, in a different sense, drew the hunting teacher's attention..
‘Did you finally finish the race?.’
Luan Badniker.
Although I was panting as if I would run out of breath at any moment, I did not fall behind and followed until the end..
That guy had a spirit I had never seen before, even as a hunting teacher..
Although it was the lowest ranked among these six.
Even though I experienced the greatest pain, I overcame it..
It would be a lie if I said I didn't feel amazing..
To be honest, I wanted to give extra points, but…….
“Charon Woodjack, Hector Badniker, Seren Goodspring, Evan Helen, Mir Giant.”
That can't be possible..
Master Hunting is the instructor of this training session..
If the instructor’s rewards and punishments are not fair, the order of the retreat will be broken..
“I will give 2 additional points to the above five people..”
After spitting out the words, I looked at Luan, and this guy was just catching his breath and looking calm..
Do you still not know the importance of points??
‘That can't be possible.’
Isn’t this a guy who seems clueless?.
“… Afternoon training will begin after meal. The exact time will be announced at that time, so for now, go back to your accommodation and rest..”
“yes.”
The hunting instructor left the leaders behind and headed to his lodgings..
Although the instructor's dormitory was shiny on the outside, it wasn't actually shiny on the inside..
The reason why we deliberately put effort into its appearance was to stimulate the leaders who participated here..
The hunting teacher headed to the restaurant for breakfast and lunch..
After receiving some bland food, I sat down and suddenly felt someone pacing around..
“It's a little early lunch..”
Sitting across from me with a gentle smile was Juan, a martial arts teacher..
“Because I skipped breakfast.”
“As expected, Mr. Tanko. Are you saying that you can't feed yourself when all the young people are starving? haha. I learned another thing today.”
“…….”
This man is not the type of person the hunting instructor likes..
His talent was recognized, and he was showing excellent results in education, but for some reason, his method did not fit with that of a hunting teacher..
Is it strangely unpleasant?.
“Come to think of it, the afternoon class was taught by teacher Juan..”
“That's right. haha. I'm nervous. I heard there are a lot of children from particularly noble families in this race.…….”
It may be a pod, but I don't like the view like that either..
No matter what noble lineage you have, if you participated in a retreat, you are just a spirit..
So, as an instructor, what you need to pay attention to is their aptitude, talent, and grit..
Teacher Hunting felt uncomfortable sitting here any longer, so he got up, stuffing the remaining half of the bread into his mouth..
“I'll just go now.”
“Of course. really. Was there a spirit that stood out to you??”
“…….”
There were several.
Among them, the one who caught my attention the most was an unexpected person..
But since he had no intention of revealing the truth, the hunting teacher shook his head and left..
* * *
“Whoa whoa…….”
I got up when my breathing calmed down..
I felt uncomfortable covered in sweat and dirt, but I didn't really feel like washing it..
Because there's probably a class just as tough waiting for you this afternoon as well..
‘The bathroom wasn't even open in the first place..’
I headed to the restaurant to fill my stomach..
Fortunately, there were no fixed portions in this ration..
This means you can eat as much as you want..
I decorated the plate with plenty of meat, then sat down and ate..
The retreat restaurant didn't have a very good reputation among these nobles, but surprisingly it wasn't bad for my taste..
Even though the seasoning was a bit boring, it didn't smell bad or feel unclean..
Above all, the overall nutritional balance was good..
“hey……!”
Then someone sat down in front of me..
The face I briefly saw yesterday was Seren..
I said hello while chewing the meat..
“hi. We seem to run into each other surprisingly often at restaurants.-.”
“It's noisy. What happened??”
Seren interrupted me and asked.
Then I remembered my last encounter with this guy..
I set the tone as if I was going to die.
He swallows the meat and replies..
“Well done.”
“what?”
“Well done. So that's why I'm here?”
Seren gave her an incredulous look, then lowered her voice and asked.
“You caught that monster all by yourself.?”
Even if I tell you the truth, I don’t think you will believe me..
I added some lies to make the conversation smoother.
“A family member helped me.”
“who.”
“You don't know even if I tell you.”
“Okay, tell me.”
“hey. We just reunited like this, so why are we talking so dirty? What matters is that we met again alive..”
“Don't talk back, just answer.”
This guy?
I have to show you what real talk is..
“What's more secret than that??”
“…what a secret?”
Seren tilted her head with a calm expression, but I wouldn't have missed the slight flinch right after..
“He said he would tell me a secret if we met again alive..”
“…hmm. Did I do that??”
“uh. I did. I really risked everything and heard it clearly with my own two ears. So tell me. What.”
“…….”
“What's wrong with your expression? Is the secret really that big of a deal? In fact, you are a man?”
“Well, that could be possible.?”
Seren said in surprise..
Of course, my sharp eyes aren't so bad that I can't even tell the gender..
“Or, in fact, there was no secret and it was just something I said. If you pretend like that, you're afraid that I might come back alive, so you said it without thinking about the future.?”
“no!”
Seren's voice rose slightly..
Immediately afterward, he looked around briefly, sighed, and said,.
“…It's just that I never thought I'd say it this way. shit.”
“So why do you make such a promise so carelessly?.”
“…That's right. If possible, I'd like to go back in time and hit just one day..”
Unexpectedly, I almost flinched a little at these words that Seren said without thinking..
That's because what this guy just said was a thought I often had after returning..
“…It's a little weird right now, I'll see and tell you later..”
“okay. More than that, why did you participate in the retreat??”
“That's what I'm saying. Why did you come? You don't know how dangerous this retreat is.?”
Anyone who sees it will think that this guy, not me, is the bad guy..
“It's a family event. I received blessings, but if I didn't participate, I'd be a laughing stock..”
“that… Probably so.”
Seren hesitated for a moment and said.
“…Is there a way to leave this retreat once I participate??”
“doesn't exist.”
“If you get seriously injured?”
“Would you let me rest in the hospital room in the instructor building? There is a teacher of doctrine, a great monk who is a current priest, and he will heal your wounds..”
“…….”
It was a strange reaction..
I know that Badniker’s retreat is dangerous, but… Is the Lady of Goodspring supposed to be this scared??
Although the death rate in the training camp is high, if you are as skilled as Seren, you will not die..
Looking at his attitude, it seems like he didn't participate to meet me, but had a separate purpose..
“What?”
“…I'll tell you later.”
“why.”
“Because I don’t want to be treated like a crazy bitch..”
What do you mean??
Anyway, Seren left without saying any more..
And he sat down in the seat furthest away from me and started eating..
Even if I looked at him, he didn't even give me a single glance..
‘Your personality is really weird.’
He's not a bad guy, but he's harsh-mouthed and not the type that's easy to deal with..
Moreover, it seems like there is a lot that is being hidden..
Anyway, from now on, I'll have to keep in mind that Seren Goodspring is basically a tough guy..
“I remembered……!”
And as soon as Seren left, someone came rushing over and sat next to me..
The freckle-haired girl, Pamida.
“what?”
“I'm talking about the conversation that went back and forth between Badnicker's youngest daughter and Goodspring's third daughter.!”
And pointed his finger at me.
“Badniker's youngest child!”
“Naji.”
“The Three Daughters of the Good Spring House……!”
“Serenity.”
“I knew it!”
Pam gasped..
The situation looks a bit dangerous..
“I was curious why Goodspring's blood relatives participated in Badniker's retreat... … ! If there were circumstances like this, I understand, I understand.!”
“Oh, it's a bit noisy..”
Charis came over and pressed Pam's head..
My roommate Evan also said with a curious look on his face..
“He was your fiancé. It seemed friendly somehow..”
“We're not close. And when did that conversation break?.”
“evil! Come to think of it, it was like that! Wow, wait! Although their marriage talks have already been broken, their love for each other does not disappear, and they finally leave their families behind and run away for love.…….”
Pam shouted at rapid fire even as her head was crushed..
Evan looked at me for a moment and said.
“By the way, the morning class was amazing. Honestly, I didn't know you would finish..”
Did you intentionally change the topic??
He is a very considerate guy..
“It's been a while since I overexerted myself and I felt like I was falling behind..”
“haha. I'm going to die.”
“Are you in third place? You passed.?”
“I’m confident in my physical strength..”
“…….”
I saw Evan smiling awkwardly for a moment..
Evan Helvin.
He is the third son of the Helvin family and his main weapon is a sword..
He mainly uses the arcane swordsmanship [Raven] created by his father and head of the family, Dodds Helvin..
There is absolutely no chance that they are the same person..
I thought as I poked the meat with a fork..
Actually I still don't know.
Just looking at this guy makes me lose my temper…….
10Will I really become the worst criminal on the continent in a year??
