The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 59

nomination ceremony (4)

Even when the members of the 4th gymnasium were talking about Theo’s grades, Evelyn didn’t bother to join them.

Even when Julius sneakily came to visit, he pretended not to know.

‘I’ll know everything naturally after the flowering ceremony.’

I had faith that Theo would record good grades, so I rather put my attention away.

The news that you’ve been hurt for no reason can put your mind to sleep.

But one day there was a third flowering ceremony.

A woman who identified herself as Theo’s real mother suddenly came to the 4th gymnasium.

– I came to say thank you.

-You don’t have to be so grateful for Master Theo. In fact, even if it wasn’t for me, I think he would have been able to blossom his talent.

Evelyn’s thoughts were sincere.

It is true that he corrected Theo’s swordsmanship, but that was only a slight advance in time.

In the end, Theo would have made his name known as brilliantly as he does now.

By the way,

– I guess that’s why.

Cecilia smiled as if she knew.

-I think I finally found out what was the reason your son was able to wake up.

-It’s a presumptuous question, but what do you mean by that… … ?

-A little while ago, I wondered if it was because of Evelyn’s mindset that your son was able to shine like he is now, rather than swordsmanship or talent.

Cecilia smiled bitterly and continued.

– As you may have heard from rumors, I am a mother, but I am a sinner who has not been able to properly act as a mother. She was such an ugly mother who couldn’t give her son proper love.

-… … .

-But at some point, my relationship with my son started to improve. It was a magical time. By the way… … Looking back now, I wonder if it was around the time my son met Evelynn.

Evelyn somehow felt as if something invisible was pressing her heart.

Salvation.

Cecilia said you saved Theo like that.

Despite the fact that he was actually saved… … .

-So I wanted to greet you like this.

-no. I’m just a one-armed prosecutor. Even if you don’t do this… … !

Evelyn tries to dissuade Cecilia, who bows her head politely.

Tuuk!

Suddenly, Cecilia frowned in disapproval and grabbed Evelyn’s left sleeve.

-no. You shouldn’t say that.

-what… … ?

Evelyn blinked her eyes, not knowing why.

-Your son will shine more brilliantly in the future and ascend to a high position. A teacher of such a person should not bend himself like this.

-… … !

-And… … Evelyn-nim is also a person who shines so beautifully, so I don’t understand why she’s trying to hide herself.

pounding!

For the first time, Evelyn felt her heart beat loudly.

you are beautiful too

That word made me lose my mind.

– I can’t. Are you okay with the time? I want you to go somewhere with me.

-Where… … ?

-Where is it? of course.

Cecilia smiled brightly.

-It’s a place where you can shine more colorfully. This Cecilia will teach you well. how beautiful and gorgeous you are

* * *

Come to think of it now.

Evelynn was always in a hurry to hide herself.

Because I was taught that humility is the virtue of a swordsman.

And,

That feeling intensified after one arm was cut off.

That’s why I chose to run away… … .

‘I hope I realize how beautiful and splendid I am… … He said.’

What Cecilia had given him as a gift was this new left arm.

Whii-

Evelyn’s partner, ‘Langus’, fluttered with splendid wings and swam in the blue sky.

It had been a long time since he had enjoyed spending time with his jockey.

Thanks to this, Evelyn was able to throw away all the irritation and resentment that had accumulated in her heart unknowingly or unknowingly.

“… … And that’s how I’ve been able to take the reins again.”

Theo sat in the back seat of Evelynn and stared blankly at her prosthetic arm.

A bitter laugh came out.

‘I should have taken care of it first. This is my mistake.’

I only thought of getting help from Evelyn, but I couldn’t think of helping at all, so I was disqualified as a disciple.

On the one hand, I was so grateful to Cecilia for helping me like this.

“Then have all your senses returned?”

Evelyn focused on the left prosthetic arm holding the reins.

My fingers wiggled a little.

“No, I’m still clumsy at a lot of things. However, as they continue to work on connecting the nervous system, he said that he will soon be able to recover up to 80% of his original arm function.”

There was a hint of laughter in Evelyn’s voice.

It was hope.

“I’m glad, I’m really glad.”

“It’s all thanks to Cecilia-sama and Kirson-sama. In particular, Kirson-nim’s skills are unparalleled, as I’ve heard.”

Even though it was clearly said that it was the first time making prosthetic hands, the Basque Workshop’s horsemanship was unmatched.

… … Although he grumbled that he was wasting too much money because of Theo and his daughter.

I decided to ignore it and move on.

“Rather than that, let me tell you my story here… … Which wyvern do you plan to use for the test?”

Evelyn changed the subject because she was embarrassed to keep talking about herself.

Currently, Holkus went to take the aptitude test with Selford and Erica with Arin.

“Well.”

Theo looked down at the ground.

I could see dozens of Wyverns nesting along the peaks of a rocky mountain steep and high like a huge sword inserted upside down.

‘That’s the white dragon’s nest.’

In Ragnar, the Wyverns trained by the Baekgap Dragon Corps are called ‘biryongs’ or ‘white dragons’.

In other words, all the wyverns over there belong to Ragnar.

But that didn’t mean they were all ‘trained’.

Most of them were wild.

“Which one would you prefer?”

“well. Everyone has different characteristics depending on the species… … . In the end, the master’s taste is the most important. Do you see the entities with red bands around their necks?”

“yes. Not only red, but also blue or black?”

“you’re right. Wyverns are originally divided into four major species.”

According to Evelyn’s explanation, the names and characteristics of each of the four species were as follows.

-Kyokuro Optirex.

Among the various species of wyvern, it boasts the largest size, so it is also called the tyrant of the sky.

It grows up to 15 meters long, and has strong jaw strength and claws, so it has the characteristic of crushing a target once caught.

In particular, it was said that the brownish scales and leather were so hard that it easily bounced off most blades.

-Venomous dragon species, Avialai.

Instead of being dwarfed, it boasts a snake-like elongated body and tail. He had a ferocious temper and was difficult to deal with.

The poisonous needle attached to the long tail is poisonous enough to knock down a bull, and is sometimes used like a whip?

In case of crisis, purple poison mist could be sprayed out of the hide.

-Sigia, a member of the human dragon species.

It is the only species that boasts a mild temper among Wyverns, and tends to enjoy herbivores rather than carnivores. It has a habit of digging burrows, so it was characterized by nesting in the ground.

Normally, it uses its wings like its forelimbs, but it sharpens its membranes and uses them like blades, sometimes showing the characteristic of cutting prey while staying underground like an assassin.

– A velociraptor of the Sokryong species.

It boasts the smallest body among the four species, and no matter how big it gets, it does not exceed 3 meters. Because of this, they tend to move in groups and are highly intelligent.

It was called a natural hunter because of its blazing speed and spewing fire. It also boasted the largest number of objects.

“In order to distinguish each type of polyp, the color of the band around the neck is also different. You can think of them as red dragons, black dragons, blue dragons, and yellow dragons.”

Theo nodded.

He was well aware of the fact that Baekgap Yonggidae formed a group according to the characteristics and types of wyverns.

“That’s why the Bocchan’s taste is the most important. Usually, taste is directly related to compatibility, so the probability of matching aptitude increases.”

“It’s my taste.”

Theo looked at the wyverns on the ground again and narrowed his eyes.

‘I still can’t see it.’

In fact, since Theo came to the white dragon’s nesting area, there was an object he was looking for separately.

‘The Dragon of Shadows. He must have been around here around this time… … . It should be easy to recognize because it has a unique appearance.’

About six years after the full-scale war broke out, a great disaster suddenly occurred in Winterer.

A mutant wyvern raided Baekryong’s nest and annihilated over a hundred wyverns that the Baekgap Yonggidae had carefully raised for a long time.

Many swordsmen in Winterer set out to hunt mutants, but failed.

Mutants have the property of hiding in the shadows, so physical damage was limited, and

His intelligence was as high as his savage ferocity, and on the contrary, he only did great damage to Ragnar.

In the end, on that day, eight villages were burned and dozens of swordsmen were killed.

In response, Ragnar classified the mutants as second-class disaster monsters and activated the killing order.

The nickname given at this time was ＜Youngsa-ryong＞.

It meant an evil dragon hiding in the shadows.

‘And I was only able to catch it after the captain of the Baek Gap Dragon and the Maehwa Palace lord went out in person.’

It was so strong that two of the nine dragons had to be mobilized.

And,

In order not to repeat the same damage afterwards, Heukseol started a backtrack to find the source of the Conscious Dragon.

Thanks to that, I was able to find out a few facts along the way.

The first of these is that the Yingsa-Ryong was actually a wyvern who escaped from the White Dragon’s nest a long time ago.

‘Dark grayish-white leather and scales, and a body larger than most monsters… … doesn’t exist. I can not see. What the hell happened?’

Theo was looking for the Conscious Dragon, and he also wanted the partner he would pick to be strong, but

In fact, it was because I wanted to see him in person at least once.

The second fact I found out about Yingsha Dragon.

It was during the White Dragon’s nest that he was being ostracized from the group.

‘Am I misremembering something? Nope. It can’t be.’

At the time, the person who wrote the tracking report was Theo, so no one knew as well about the dragon’s habits.

‘Because the biggest reason why the celestial dragon escaped the nest was because it couldn’t blend in with the group because of its unusual appearance… … !’

There was something that suddenly came to mind.

“Eveline, could you look around the outskirts as well?”

“It is possible, but… … If you go too far outside, you won’t be able to go far because the sea will get closer.”

“I will ask you anyway.”

Evelyn tilted her head at Theo, who couldn’t make a decision easily, but she said that she would understand, and squeezed the reins.

Usually, most of the partners were intuitively plugged in.

In the end, the langus flew higher and quickly headed for the outskirts of the white dragon’s nest area.

It wasn’t until several rocky nests passed beneath his feet that Theo’s eyes lit up.

‘found.’

far away

I saw a grayish-white Wyvern mandible while surrounded by dozens of Wyverns.

Kaaa!

“Those are… … !”

At that moment, Evelyn’s expression slightly wrinkled.

Apparently, I knew a lot about him.

“Do you know about that grey-white wyvern?”

Evelyn nodded heavily at Theo’s sneaky question.

“This is the guy who was bullied even before I came out of Baekgap Yonggi University. So, at the unit level, I tried to isolate several times, and even changed the group… … .”

“It’s always been that way.”

Evelyn let out a deep sigh and continued.

“He is a pitiful child. He lost his mother to protect him when he was too young, and he was always ostracized from the pack because of his unusual appearance. There were many times when I almost died. If it wasn’t for his natural size or ability… … Sigh!”

I felt like I knew what it was about even without listening to the back story.

However, there was a fact that Theo also knew for the first time.

“You lost your mother?”

“Yes. It was because of dystocia. I was a child who could not have been born as usual.”

“What do you mean?”

“That child’s father, not the same Wyvern. It’s a beeper.”

In an instant, Theo’s eyes widened.

“If it’s Bipper, it’s a first-class monster that lives deep in the sea, right? But how did the wyvern… … ? No, aren’t the species different in the first place?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Level 1 monsters are treated like natural disasters such as typhoons and heavy rains.

A natural disaster that is said to cause enormous damage if even one animal crosses the barrier.

Among them, the beeper is a ghost species that lives in the shadows of the forest area, wandering without a certain shape and stealing the lives of living beings.

“I don’t know the details either. However, I only know that when that child was born, it was a very big issue at Baek Gap Yonggi University.”

Theo calmly looked at the star dragon.

The guy was a couple of heads taller than the other wyverns, but he was full of scars here and there because he was not doing business in front of the pack.

Some of the wounds were still healing.

It meant that I had been abused by the group for a very long time.

‘As expected.’

That look touched Theo’s heart especially deeply.

It’s like seeing your past self.

The image of oneself that could not be mixed anywhere and only hovered around the periphery.

‘… … It was because of that that I kept being attracted to it without even realizing it when I was doing background investigation.’

Theo gritted his teeth and slowly activated his telekinesis.

‘so.’

self-

Four death beats rose into the air.

‘I’ll let you live a different life this time.’

-Like I’m doing.

“What is that child’s name?”

Evelynn didn’t try to urge Langus to save the Conscious Dragon, but hurriedly looked behind her.

Theo’s eyes were deeply sunken.

Just like when we went to war with the Kyoryonghoe.

“… … ‘Umbra’. It is Umbra.”

It was an archaic word meaning shadow.

“Shadow… … That’s a good name.”

“Bocchan, can you?”

“uh. to do with that guy. I go first.”

I didn’t even bother to ask how it was going.

Theo was already leaning sideways and falling to the ground.

And,

Papababak!

Theo started running at high speed through the sky.

Using Death Beat as a stepping stone.
