I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 96. The Law of Conservation of Waste (4)

The human body has instinctive limitations.

The limit for exerting more force than the body can withstand. There are times when these limitations are lifted.

When you need to protect someone more precious than your life.

Or, when the person himself is in danger of his life.

All abilities of the body, including muscle strength, reflexes, dynamic vision, and five senses, increase at least five times.

However, these extreme forces are temporary and cause severe fatigue and damage to the muscles. And the power exerted in this crisis situation is impossible to use arbitrarily.

Heavenly power makes it possible.

Of course, it cannot be written infinitely. You can only use it for about 10 minutes per day.

Of course, you can write more than that, but the recommended time was just 10 minutes because the body couldn’t stand it.

“Teacher. What is heavenly power?”

“It is said that humans only exert their maximum power right before they die. It is the power of heaven that makes it possible to do that even in normal times.”

Even after hearing Keter’s words, the three of them had blank faces.

It wasn’t because I didn’t understand.

Rather, the problem was that it was too easy to understand.

“that… Assistant. So, are you saying you’re going to drive us to the brink of death right now?”

“Do you still think you will die? no. You guys still have energy left. It’s hard enough to die, but not really dead.”

Keter snapped her fingers.

Then the waiting attendants approached Luke, Anis, Tarragon, and Brooks.

clap, clap.

Bracelets are stuffed on their limbs.

All four of them were frightened.

“Ugh, what is this? It’s heavy!”

The attendants also put bracelets on Keter’s limbs. Keter, wearing the bracelet, twirled it around.

“It is heavy. Each of these bracelets weighs only five kilograms.”

It was worn on both arms and legs, totaling 20 kilograms. Of course, active duty knights can run around well even wearing 50kg armor, but that is only when they are in good shape.

Battles are fleeting. Even the knights don’t normally wear heavy armor, they only wear it right before battle.

“Ugh… . This is crazy.”

“Now, let’s run before we cool down.”

When Keter stopped, the other three started running again, crying and eating mustard.

“Suck, suck… … ?”

After turning three times, Anise saw a strange sight.

hook, hook!

Attendants were digging the ground with shovels. Pretty deep and loud.

‘What do you mean, if you stop running, you will be buried alive?’

If it was Keter, he was a guy who would be able to do it, so Anis got goosebumps.

After a while, the speed of the trainees rapidly slowed in the 15th lap. No matter how much Keter hit him, it was useless.

“Are your legs not listening? then crawl Crawl and spin around once, and I’ll let you rest.”

At the word that it would allow them to rest, they crawled around the parade ground, saying that it was a noble’s face.

A direct blood relative of a prestigious family, the vice-captain of the Holy Knights, who is respected by 150 knights, is crawling desperately on the sandy bottom.

“Also, we have arrived.”

Anise, who arrived first, buried her face in the ground and gasped for breath. Luke and Tarragon followed, and after a while, Brooks arrived.

Keter squatted in front of them.

“Trainee No. 2. Is it so hard that you can’t even lift a finger?”

“… yes.”

“Do you think you won’t be able to move even if you tear it apart?”

“yes!”

“It is not like that again.”

Kether gestured to the attendant behind her. The attendant delivered the jar.

rumble.

Some kind of liquid soaked Anise’s body. It was slippery and viscous.

“Ugh, this… Oil?”

Keter anointed Luke, Tarragon, and Brooks with a grim smile.

“hehehehe, even if I beat you to death, you guys won’t be able to display your heavenly power. Because I’m sure I won’t kill you. Even if you bring someone, it’s the same. do i have to die I won’t even bother. But, what if the person trying to kill you isn’t a person?”

Chick. Chick! Hwareuk.

The three people who had been lying down a moment ago lifted their heads. A voice from Keter. This must have been the sound of lighting a match.

And, their bodies are sprinkled with oil.

“Joe, assistant. isn’t it? Anyway, hahahaha.”

Luke’s eyes trembled. But the match in Keter’s finger flew through the sky without mercy.

Tuk, thump!

“aaagh!”

Luke’s body caught fire.

Luke, who had been unable to lift a finger until just a moment ago, rolled on the floor.

“Knowing that, I also sprayed oil on the floor. wake up! See the puddle over there? I also put a solution that washes away oil fires. If you arrive on time and don’t fall out, it’ll be grilled whole, heck.”

“Haaagh!”

Luke jumps up and starts running towards the puddle. It was an amazing speed indeed.

Then there was Anise, Tarragon and Brooks. The three of them jumped to their feet when Keter lit a match.

Poof! Roaring!

Their bodies were also set on fire.

Since Luke demonstrated first, the three of them didn’t scream, but they continued to run frantically.

with a plop! Chiyiyi profit!

Luke, who arrived first, jumped into the puddle.

The trio also threw themselves behind them.

“Get it.”

The attendants rescued four people floating in a puddle.

they were unharmed There were no tan marks on the skin. It was possible because he protected himself with an aura.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the aura can stop the fire indefinitely. It’s only protected until the aura runs out, so if you don’t jump into a puddle before then, you’ll be roasted whole.

The whole body was covered in dirt, burned, and drowned, and the appearance of the four people was a mess.

He didn’t even look like an aristocrat, let alone a prestigious family. It was like a soldier running away from a battlefield.

Keter said with a satisfied smile.

“Aren’t you curious? I felt like I couldn’t move. Are you strong because you want to live? Then, when the problem is solved, the body becomes heavy again.”

“… … .”

You guys couldn’t even answer.

Seeing that, Keter was even more delighted.

“I finally shut up. The fact that you can speak is proof that you are still active.”

“… … .”

Keter beckoned to the attendants. Then the attendants brought towels and began to wipe the bodies of the four rooms.

‘done… Is it?’

‘Hey, it’s finally over.’

‘I can’t believe this kind of crazy training exists.’

‘I just want to drink a glass of water.’

The gang of four thought that training was finally over. Otherwise, there is no way to wipe the body.

rumble.

‘… … ?’

Oil sprinkled on their skinny bodies.

“A while ago, you guys definitely showed off your heavenly power. But don’t you know how? My body just moved. then no. If you don’t feel anything, it’s just that I tortured you guys. This time, observe your body to see how you can exert your heavenly power. You will have to look especially closely at the head.”

Chick, crack.

“Now- it’s time to run again.”

Your body caught fire again. Those who looked like corpses rise again and start running.

The greatest fear humans experience is the fear of falling and the fear of burning. Among the tortures, burning torture is the best.

Keter muttered as he watched the four rooms run like undead.

“It’s tough. If I had learned like that, I would have no wish.”

How could Keter know the heavenly power? Because there is a teacher who taught me.

What the four of you are receiving now is ‘training’ that is reproduced as closely as possible to real life.

However, Keter realized the power of heaven not through training, but through actual combat.

Climbing a cliff hundreds of meters without food or drinking water.

Fighting a group of cannibals with your bare hands.

Finally, he fully realized his heavenly power while fighting an ogre barefoot in the arena.

The heavenly power teacher said to Kether, who had learned everything.

“Kyakyakya! Congratulations on entering the 5th level of the Celestial Calendar, Keter! You can be proud! Among the heirs of the heavenly power, those who have reached the 5th level, including you and me, do not have ten fingers, ni! But it was far. be diligent Challenge yourself to the last 12 levels. You can do it, everything!”

“What level is Master now?”

“Kyakyak! I’m on level 8 Teaching you gave me clues to step 9, Gee!”

“Even a sword master kills a hand, 8th level? If you enter the 12th stage, well, can you kill even a god?”

“It’s enough to kill a god even if it’s just step 10!”

“You’re bluffing again because you’re giving me a lift. I heard just yesterday that you fought the Emperor of the Empire for a month.”

“If I hadn’t been sh*tting, I’d win, done!”

That was the last appearance of the Celestial Master that Keter remembered.

‘It’s over with dirty sh*t talk. Is that nobleman still alive?’

The heavenly power master didn’t even tell me his name. After teaching the heavenly power perfectly, he went down to the basement of liqueur.

“Brother Keter. Master Tarragon seems to have fainted.”

At the words of the servant who brought Tarragon out of the water, Keter opened Tarragon’s eyelids.

“I was really stunned.”

Keter took a thin needle from the pocket of her waistband and stabbed Tarragon in the back of the neck.

“Who do you want?”

“Kkeuheouk?!”

Tarragon fluttering like a fish on land.

Anise, who was on the verge of fainting, came back to her senses.

‘That crazy bastard… … .’

Anise didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes. It was to the point where it was difficult to breathe.

In his ears, Keter’s spirited voice was distinct.

“If you’re smart, your body doesn’t have to suffer. Anyone who can stand up straight here and now will finish training today.”

“… … !”

The trainees started wriggling like earthworms. It was a desperate attempt to somehow get up and end the day.

After observing the situation for 10 seconds, Keter shook her head.

“Heavenly Power is a technique that forcibly releases the limits of the body. Then, by what principle is the limit of the body released? It is the will of the mind and body. Does your heart beat because it wants to beat? no I’m running even though I don’t intend to. Even while you sleep, your heart beats. Awakening the heavenly power is the opposite. What is closed must be opened. Find the muscle that governs it and control it. It can be done with willpower without using an aura.”

Keter waited another ten seconds.

“If you found the heavenly power and opened it, it’s time to wake up a long time ago.”

Keter sends a signal. The attendants also wiped the four people with a tired expression.

“You better understand now. It’s going to be the bottom slowly. There is no one here to rescue you. Remember you have to survive on your own.”

third ignition.

Four people who rise to live. Fire moths that brighten up the darkening night run toward the water.

“Heh, hehehe.”

A change has happened.

The flow that repeatedly fell into a puddle and passed out was broken.

Luke, who managed to escape the waterhole on his own, walked to Keter.

“Turn it off.”

Luke’s eyes, which had come right up to Keter’s nose, turned over and rolled forward.

Keter, who confirmed the condition of Luke who had fallen at his feet, shouted at the remaining trainees.

“One of the first two people came in. The two who failed returned after circling the training ground ten times.”

“Standing, first-come, first-served?”

“There’s only one seat left?”

The eyes of Anis, Tarragon, and Brooks changed. It wasn’t a lie this time. Because Luke was carried out of the parade ground by the attendants on a stretcher.

All you have to do is get to the front of Kether.

Then you can rest!

Chow ah!

Three people came out of the puddle almost simultaneously. Their bodies convulsed with every step they took. His legs trembled like a newborn calf.

Among the three, Anis was the one ahead.

However, the difference was small.

“Suck!”

Taking a deep breath, Tarragon accelerated. There was no difference in the eyes of the attendants watching, but Anise felt a great threat.

Will the race of snails be like this?

The walking speed of the three was tediously slow, but the sense of speed they felt was like riding on top of a sprinting horse.

“Ugh, too, youngsters. Help this old man just once.”

Brooks, who was confirmed to be in last place, begged, raising his age. But Anise and Tarragon didn’t even pay attention.

thump!

It was a fever that opened the heavenly power, but Brooks, whose will was broken, gave up halfway and sat down.

Tarragon almost caught up with Anise. They were at a distance where they could see each other if they turned their heads sideways.

The two looked at each other, but did not open their mouths. I didn’t have the strength to open my mouth. However, even with eye contact, what each other wanted to say to each other was conveyed.

‘Tarragon, I never thought you could stand next to me. You’ve improved a lot.’

‘Brother, I’m not the old me. I’m sorry, but I’ll go in and rest now.’

‘what?’

Papababak!

Tarragon lengthened his stride, and Anise’s eyes widened.

Anise couldn’t lengthen her stride following Tarragon. I don’t have the energy for that. If you go on like this, you won’t be on the first come, first served basis.

The distance difference starts to appear. Tarragon was one step ahead of Anise. Now, just one step further, Anise sees Tarragon’s back.

For a moment, anise’s eyes were poisonous.

‘I can’t lose.’

You can’t make your stride bigger.

However, it is possible if it is to extend an arm.

Anise’s hand gripped the back of Tarragon’s neck.

“omg?”

Tarragon, who had not expected that Anise would grab his back, momentarily lost his concentration and lost his heavenly power.

Courage!

Tarragon, who fell flat, looked up at Anis with weeping eyes.

But Anise didn’t even look down at Tarragon, she just walked forward.

Anis, who had stopped in front of Kether before long, jumped back and sprawled out.

“Following the first trainee, the second trainee entered on a first-come, first-served basis. Numbers 3 and 4 go round the parade ground ten times. practice.”

As a final conscience, Keter released all of the bracelets worn by Numbers 3 and 4.

“Keuheuk, keuhueug.”

Tarragon whimpered as he lay down.

Keter asked, looking down at him.

“Are you resentful that Number 2 grabbed your back?”

“I’m sorry. If I hadn’t caught it, I would have been second!”

“In other words, wouldn’t it be fine if I didn’t get caught?”

“… … ?”

“The second time I made the best choice. I judged that I couldn’t be faster than you, so I interrupted you. To win, to survive. But what did you do?”

back.

Keter pressed hard against Tarragon’s cheek.

“The second time you did something dirty and nasty to win, what did you do? number 3. You were drunk with victory, convinced of victory, and just let your guard down.”

“… … !”

“If you go back in time, will you be caught on the back by number two?”

“You won’t get caught.”

widely!

Keter took Tarragon’s hand and stood him up.

“If you are alive, you have a chance. make it if you don’t have it Got it, number three?”

“All right… … .”

“Run, ten laps.”

Tarragon starts to run.

Keter took one look at his back as he receded, then turned his head.

Seeing Brooks lying down and resting, Keter smiled.
