Volume 12 Episode 8
{It is said that a ‘ghost god’ recently appeared in the kingdom of Ishmael. There were quite a few casualties, but strangely, it was quiet overall, are you involved?}
Looking at his face, he seemed to know and asked.
You have to give me an answer right away.
“Yeah. I am bound, and in the future slavery will be abolished in Ishmael. Slave traders and slave markets are all going to disappear, isn’t the continental battlefield intertwined?”
{If it’s tied?}
replied indifferently.
“You know how I do it. I’m going to kill all the kids involved. There are no exceptions.”
Roland’s tone becomes serious.
{It seems you don’t know.}
What are you trying to say this time?
{The continental battlefield values fairness. There is something like this among the internal laws of the continental battlefield. The continental battlefield law prohibits any acts such as buying slaves or distributing slaves to the market.}
That’s it.
“Still, be prepared. Because there can’t be a child tied up.”
{Well, it is. Because I’m human.}
“Yes. Because you are human.”
{Then you will suffer.}
So I cut off communication.
“Did you see it? The world is evolving.”
Master laughs.
You are smiling and stroking my hair, and your hands are getting more and more proficient.
It was then.
from the other side.
” uh?”
A slightly familiar, unfamiliar voice is heard.
When I turned my head, a student was looking at me with blank eyes.
Five to five parts in blond hair.
As soon as he saw the sword filled with his waist, he burst into laughter.
Is this also a coincidence?
Roman Stewart.
The guy was looking at me and Master, and his eyes were closed.
That’s what I thought before, but he’s really funny.
“What are you so surprised about? Are you seeing people for the first time?”
He was born as the eldest son of a Viscount family.
There was nothing lacking.
In other kingdoms, there may have been something lacking if it was a Viscount, but it was the Tulkan Empire.
The territories governed by the Stewart family were huge enough to resemble the counts of other kingdoms, and Roman was the heir to such a family.
The first time he picked up a sword was during the succession class, as is the case with common aristocrats.
I was 10 years old then.
At the age of ten, Roman first held a sword and felt it.
I realized exactly.
this is my way
Realizing that his talent for swords was superior to others, Roman began his career as a swordsman.
As soon as I turned 14, I learned mana.
Surprisingly, not only the talent for swordsmanship, but also the talent for mana overflowed.
I became a 2nd circle at the age of 14, a 3rd circle in January of the same year I turned 15, a 4th circle at the age of 16, and a 5th circle. He was 17 and he was in 6th circle.
I wanted to hear that I was the youngest on the continent, but unfortunately I wasn’t the youngest on the continent.
At the age of 17 years and 48 days, Elizabeth Valentiée entered the 6th circle, while Roman rose to the 6th circle at the age of 17 years and 128 days.
It didn’t matter though.
From the 1st to the 4th year at the Tulkan Academy, he did not miss the senior seat, and even earned the title of Guardian Sword of the Future of the Tulkan Empire.
Roman thought like this when he got to participate in the Academy War.
What about students from other academies?
Since there was no exchange between the academies, the curiosity was natural, and the first day of the Academy War. definitely realized
All of them are bullshit.
Roman, who looked at each of these so-called winners, thought once more.
They were real idiots.
Fortunately, a child named Charlotte from the Kingdom of Teslan caught my eye, but unfortunately, that child withdrew from the individual division and moved to the team competition.
So I was sure.
In the end, I’m going to win the swordsmanship division.
Then, a student who was not interested suddenly appeared.
His name is Thanos.
Even though that huge student was only in 5th circle, he blew the same 5th circle mana user with just one sword.
It was a shock.
And, I was satisfied.
There was someone in my age who could match him.
And now, Roman swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
Jack Valantie.
Rumors about him spread throughout the Tulkan Empire.
A nonsensical monster that beats and beats the Master.
I thought rumors were just rumors.
However, at this moment when they happened to meet on the street like this, Roman was convinced.
Really, you’re a monster.
“What are you doing alone? What do you have to say?” She swallowed her saliva. Feeling naturally withdrawn.
Isn’t this what it feels like to stand in front of a real predator?
“He’s a weird guy. You seemed to talk a lot during the competition earlier, so why are you so quiet?”
Picking up Jack, he took a step and pushed Lo Mann aside.
“If the road is blocked, use it. It’s a place where a lot of people come and go.”
Then Roman grabbed Jack as he was about to pass by.
Not with arms or feet, but with words.
“You.”
Jack turns his head.
“Is it true that you overpowered Beckerman?”
There was a little disbelief in Roman’s eyes.
Reason and instinct collided.
How did he beat the Red Master at such a young age?
That’s absurd.
Something that common sense can’t explain
Jack sighs and laughs.
“Is that right?”
“I don’t understand. Of course not to go. But know that. You and I have different starting lines.”
The starting line is different.
Roman didn’t understand.
And, a feeling that I couldn’t even understand myself was now developing.
fighting spirit.
Instinct as a mana user to want to fight.
The belief that he believed to be the greatest talent of the Tulcan Empire is now manifested in his fighting spirit.
Jack caught it at a glance and showed only one reaction.
Just as he turned his head, he raised his energy slightly.
Moment.
Chaeeng-!!
Roman hastily drew his sword and took three or four steps back.
People around him looked at him as if he were a strange person, but he didn’t care.
Cold sweat running down his forehead.
just what?
“It feels good. It’s pretty good.”
Roman unconsciously wiped his neck with his other hand.
stuck, there
Then Roman’s hands began to tremble.
just now.
Because in that momentary moment, Roman felt that his own head had been cut off.
It was like a materialized illusion, almost like a foresight.
Gulping and saliva dripping.
“you are… … What is it?”
Jack narrowed his eyes without saying a word.
At that moment, a very strange thing happened.
It was because Roman was sitting down from his seat.
“Heh heh, heh heh.”
No one in the market felt it.
Only Roman felt it.
Jack, he knew he could kill everyone around him with just one wave of his hand.
And they wouldn’t even feel that they were dead.
A very real life.
I don’t know what to explain.
Do I have to rule the space?
Roman slowly raised his head and could see.
Suddenly, he saw Jack approaching in front of him and slowly reaching out his hand.
Roman closed his eyes without realizing it.
you die like this
I don’t know what to say.
He seems arrogant, but looking at his age and circumstances, it’s strange that he’s not arrogant, so I have to say to some extent it’s understandable.
But I got a little curious.
The talent from a distance was fine, but I wanted to know a little more detail.
So I lifted the spirit up a bit.
Of course, I sent it with a little bit of living too, but he responded unexpectedly quickly.
The situation in which you step back and quickly draw your sword.
When I saw that, I thought he was definitely a good guy.
I feel like I’m going to die, but I have to fight back and die… … Do I have to show that kind of attitude?
I got more curious, so this time I raised my energy a little more.
Then the guy sits down.
A helpless death that completely gave up even a counterattack.
As for how much power he showed, he was roughly a beginner’s master.
The kind of energy that comes out when the kids of that age raise their energy with all their might, that they must kill their opponents, and concentrate their lives on them.
With that energy, Roman gave up on life.
I got my energy and went to the guy.
Then he reaches out his hand, but he suddenly closes his eyes tightly.
what this feels like
When little kids make friends of the opposite sex and kiss them shyly. I have to say that it looks like something I should show at that time.
He burst into laughter with his upbringing.
Baby, it’s unexpectedly cute.
He said, stroking the boy’s head with his hand.
“Talent is fine.”
“••••••Yes?”
Really, what is this?
All I know is not Roman Stewart, but a little boy named Jack Stewart who will give birth to him in the future.
Looking at this up close, it really does look the same.
“Talent is fine, but you have too much confidence. It goes too far to be called arrogant. A child of your age has to look down.”
I don’t mean to say things like those idiots who tell you to walk around with your eyes covered.
It’s about taking care of the kids under the circle.
“If you don’t do that, you, your son who looks just like you, might say something like this later. He wasn’t a good father… … what like that.”
“… … what are you trying to say now
are you?”
He smiled and tapped his forehead with his index finger.
“It’s just that, but suddenly I’m curious. No matter how I look at it, I think you and Thanos will fight in the final.”
“Do you think you can win?”
Roman slowly got up from his seat.
Then.
“… … Yes, I win.”
said this
It’s fun.
“Our Thanos also said that you can defeat him, but they say you can defeat Thanos. In a situation like this where we are confident that we can beat each other, I really like it. This is why the world is interesting.”
smiled brightly.
“At the end of the day, some of them are the losers. Great, looking forward to it.”
He smiled and stood up from his seat and patted the shaky boy on the shoulder.
He calmed his body with mana, but fortunately, he is calm to see if it works.
“Then do your best. If you have any questions, come to me.”
That was when I was about to turn around.
“You’re too blatant.”
Roman’s eyes, who were looking at me, moved slightly to my side, and the body of the guy I thought had calmed down suddenly became less trembling and faltered, taking a step back.
I see he’s behind me.
turned his head
Heinkes Beckermann, he was standing looking at me, wow.
“Are you following me?”
“No way.”
“Then why do we meet so often? You and I had a good relationship a long time ago, but it wasn’t like this.”
Beckerman grinned, then came and stood next to Roman.
“You seem to recognize talented people, don’t you think you’re greedy?”
“I covet it, can I not fly?”
He looked at Roman and smiled meaningfully.
“If you are lucky and grow to the maximum, you will become a ‘maximum’ Senior Master. But if you follow me, you’ll be the ‘minimum’ Senior Master. It’s your limit, what do you think?”
“••••••at least•••••••?”
Roman was perplexed.
Beckerman was also perplexed.
I said it was blatant, but I never really thought it was so blatant.
“It’s just that. I’ll just go There is someone waiting.”
As I glanced at the master next to me, Beckerman’s gaze was also drawn to our master, whether he followed mine or not.
“… … At that time, she was the woman I saw in the basement.”
Master smiles faintly.
[Yes, I see you remember.]
“It certainly wasn’t there until morning, but suddenly it pops out?”
Then, Beckerman’s gaze shifted toward me.
Exactly my empty shoulder. look there
“I thought it was very unusual to carry a doll, but there must have been a reason.”
