I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 79
79fury
Hector swung his sword.
Wake up!
The scent of blood mixes with the scent of the beast..
This wolf cub didn't die even though its snout was split in half..
Instead, it rolled its eyes and tried to sink its teeth into Hector's skin..
‘It's dangerous…….’
I don't have the strength to avoid.
“Hector!”
At that time, Basil pushed the wolf away with a headbutt..
The impact caused the wolf's head to split open, and unpleasant blood soaked its face..
“Are you okay??”
“…….”
I didn't have the strength to respond, so I just nodded slightly..
Then I looked ahead, brushing away my hair that had become stiff from the blood..
The number of wolf packs has now decreased significantly..
There seem to be around ten or so, but they are observing this direction without attacking..
‘Have you realized my condition??’
…It's so unsightly that even an animal can tell..
I don't know how many of these dirty bastards I've cut down..
What is clear is that the real limit is coming soon..
It is a limitation of physical function that cannot be overcome with grit or mental power..
“Hector Badniker.”
Then I heard a voice again.
I couldn't even raise my head, but I knew who it was just by their voice..
Charon Woodjack was still observing the situation from the tree..
“Will you accept it now??”
What did that mean??
‘…point.’
I definitely offered to help in exchange for points..
It won't be a lie…….
Charon actually has that ability..
I know that that unlucky guy is a genius..
I burst out laughing.
I ran away from that word all my life, but in the end, that hateful bastard pursued me relentlessly until the end of my life..
genius.
Hector Badnicker hates genius.
* * *
The first sword Hector held was a blunt wooden sword..
A toy knife made of wood that is short and light enough for even a child to handle..
When I first held that knife…….
For some reason, Hector felt like it was sticking to his hand..
It felt good just to hold it..
So I swung.
When I wielded it so recklessly, my mother was happy..
“This kid is a swordsman genius.!”
I was called a genius when I didn't even know the meaning of the word genius..
Hector realized that it was a compliment and felt excited..
I started swordsmanship because it was fun, but now it even satisfies my self-esteem..
Hector was excited and swung his sword even harder, and his mother clapped her hands every time she saw him..
However, this was by no means a field that could be entered into lightly..
Especially in a family called Badnicker..
When he turned six, Hector got a swordsman teacher..
Not one or two people, but twelve people..
“Actually, I wanted to invite a sword teacher, but he wasn't a man swayed by money. She's okay though. These are also powerful people who other families are anxious to recruit..”
Hector loved his mother.
When my mother talks to me while looking at me with those blue eyes, I completely accept whatever she says..
“You can do it well?”
“yes.”
Six-year-old Hector nodded and.
From that day on, Hector could no longer swing his sword against his peers or the Scarecrow..
“It's still not enough! Now, take one hundred more swings!”
“Is it okay for Badknicker's veins to be in such trouble??”
“Master, my right shoulder is empty..”
the classes were harsh.
The child's soft hands were covered in blisters, and the bruises on his entire body never disappeared..
“How is Hector??”
“…To be honest, the talent itself is not particularly special. Perseverance is great, but-.”
“That's not enough. That kid, Hector, must be a genius..”
“…ma'am?”
“Please help that kid learn swordsmanship..”
“what is that…….”
“Do you understand? You guys were just giving advice on the swordsmanship that kid would make. The creator is my son, Hector Badnicker..”
Genius Hector Badniker.
One of Badniker's three best children..
-Actually it wasn't all.
Hector just likes to swing his sword,
I don't want to disappoint my mother's expectations.,
Compared to his peers, he is only a little smarter..
It was just a crime.
* * *
Iron Bloodsmith Delac C. Badniker.
Even though we are related by blood, we met for the first time when we were 12 years old..
The remnant sword is said to have been created by Hector, but in fact it took twelve swordsmanship instructors several months to create..
I displayed that swordsmanship in front of Sanghyeolgong..
“…….”
After finishing the demonstration, Hector bowed his head..
The swordsmanship itself was performed without any mistakes, but it was strangely embarrassing..
“Who said this sword technique was created??”
“Of course Hector-.”
“stop. I didn't ask your wife..”
Hector realized that the Iron Blood Prince's eyes were on him..
But strangely, my mouth did not open easily..
A soft, yet oppressive hand wrapped around my shoulder..
It was my mother.
“Hector? I have to answer. The head of the family is asking.”
Hector swallowed his saliva and answered,.
“…Yes, I made it.”
I couldn't help but feel like my voice was shaking..
It was the mother who defended her son's awkward attitude..
“hmm. This child must have been very nervous because he was in front of the head of the family..”
Until that moment, I could still feel Sanghyeolgong's gaze..
“Did you really make it?.”
‘…ah.’
At that moment, Hector realized.
you know.
There was no evidence, but I was confident..
Dad knows that I didn't create this sword technique and that I'm not actually a genius..
My face got hot..
shame.
That was the first shame Hector felt..
At the same time, my lips trembled in fear..
Even young Hector had heard so much about how cold and scary the Iron Blood Prince was..
I am not the kind of person who would regard a deceiver as his son..
“If so, make it completely yours..”
“……!”
At that moment, Hector suddenly raised his head..
And for the first time, I saw the eyes of the Iron Blood Ball..
The same purple eyes as his were clearly cold..
I found out that the nickname Cheolhyeol (鐵血) suits me better than anyone else..
However, a faint heat stirred within it..
“Hector… … ! How good is it, the head of the family approved you?!”
“Excellent job, master.!”
“Congratulations!”
“genius! My son is a genius!”
After my father left, my mother and the swordsman instructors came and said something, but I couldn't quite remember..
- Make it completely yours.
However, the last words the Iron Blood Prince left were engraved in my heart and swirled like a strong storm..
* * *
From that day on, Hector devoted himself to swordsmanship..
Rest time, eating time, and sleeping time were reduced. Social interaction with peers was kept to a minimum..
The rest of the time, I swung the sword only to become stronger, improve my swordsmanship, and be approved by my father..
Then, at some point, the attitudes of those around me changed..
“Your swordsmanship is becoming more sophisticated day by day..”
“It is indeed the bloodline of the matriarch..”
The swordsman teachers truly accepted me, and the attitude of the users became much more polite..
The shoulders on my mother’s side also went up a lot..
But the happiest thing for Hector was that he could see his father often..
Yes, it was about 2-3 times a year..
One day, when his father called him to the 5th floor, Hector was so happy that he felt like he could fly..
This is because only a very small number of children were allowed to enter that place..
‘my father recognized me……!’
The 5th floor where I first stepped foot..
The place, which was clearly the family's mansion, suddenly changed into a sunset beach..
Hector saw his father standing on the vermilion white beach..
“Hector.”
“yes.”
“Someday I will kill the devil.”
Hector trembled..
Because I know the weight of the name Demon King..
“I know that I can't do it alone. Our ancestor, the great hero, is a long-cherished wish that even the black fairy Kusset was unable to achieve in the end..”
“…….”
“But if I'm not alone, if I have a helper who can give me strength, I can do it. That's why I gave birth to you.”
The confession that he gave birth to a child out of necessity may be too bleak words for a father to say..
But Hector was not shocked..
I didn't even feel sad.
“I want you to fight next to me someday.”
Instead, I felt an indescribable feeling of fullness filling my whole body..
Whatever the reason, I was just happy and relieved that my father needed me..
Iron Blood Ball's wish soon became Hector's wish..
It would definitely be a dream if I could one day stand by my father's side on a battlefield where he is needed..
‘can do.’
genius.
Hector now considered himself a genius..
I felt that my swordsmanship was improving day by day, and I became confident that I was stronger than my peers..
If I were the person I am now, I could lift that burdensome word onto my shoulders..
The moment he thought that, Hector witnessed it..
A real genius.
“…I never thought there would be this much of a difference.”
“After all, Hiiro is the only successor to the matriarch??”
“Shh… … ! Your wife will listen..”
Heero Badniker lost in ten seconds in a sparring match with his eldest son..
However, what struck me more than the defeat was the words Hiiro left afterward..
“…That's odd. Why does my father place such high hopes on a man like this??”
“…….”
The word, which he had barely forgotten and thought he would never remember again, took on a clear form again and weighed down Hector..
Beomjae.
and genius.
Hector had a hunch..
My life from now on will be a form of chasing and being chased among those things for the rest of my life..
* * *
I hate genius.
I hate people who laugh at those who work hard in the name of talent..
I know it's a feeling that comes from an inferiority complex..
I know, so what should I do?.
“…refuse.”
If you don't follow this heart, you are no longer Hector Badniker..
Charon's head was tilted..
“If this continues you will die.”
“know.”
“And yet you refuse? Are you saying that pride is more important than life? I don't understand..”
I guess so.
From the perspective of an arrogant genius, you won't even be able to see the pride of this bottom bastard..
Besides, Hector has no intention of dying here..
‘There is still a chance of winning.’
I recovered some stamina while the wolves were monitoring the situation here..
Hector put into words the plan he had in his head..
“basil.”
“yes yes?”
“I will make a way, so get through the gap..”
This is possible now that the number of wolves has decreased. Because there was a loophole in their siege..
Basil's face turned pale..
“Well, then what about Hector??”
“Coming soon… I'm not sure, but it's harder to fight while protecting you.”
“I can do my part.”
“Don't be bluff. You're on the verge of collapsing.”
“but…….”
“I should have said it at the beginning. In this test, you must obey the leader's words unconditionally..”
“…….”
Hector was thankful for the basil..
Because even in this moment of crisis, this man never once forced himself to pass the point..
I don't know what the reason is.
Maybe he's so gentle that he can't express himself..
But Hector thought that this guy respected his petty pride..
In that case, Hector should also respect Youngdo Lee’s life..
“…All right.”
At that moment, I forgot the situation and burst out laughing..
‘Dwarves cry like that.’
Hector looked at Basil's funny face and said.
“Basil, I don't think you're cut out for being a hero. If you survive, look into other career paths..”
“Actually, my dream was to become a brewer..”
“okay? I heard that dwarf craft dark beer is such a luxury product..”
“Needless to say, my mouth hurts. I'll treat you next time.”
Charon, who had been watching the series of conversations, opened his mouth again..
“Hector Badniker, are you really both going to die for a point??”
“It's not a matter of points. Because I'm a bad nicker.”
“What is a badknicker?.”
“-Badniker doesn't deal with trash..”
This was not Hector's answer..
Something fell from the sky with a sound like Kwazijik..
A wolf covered in blood as if crushed by a rock.
The boy who created that scene.
“…….”
Hector laughed..
A face as unlucky as Charon.
But now it's a very happy face.
“…That's right, brother?”
Luan also smiled at Hector..
