The Hero Disciple Is Back

EP.3 – 2. The disciple left

“Little boy.”

“Yes, Master.”

“I have nothing more to teach you.”

“no. I am still lacking.”

“If I don’t exist, I don’t exist.”

I knew. That his disciple is pretending to be learning. Even though I have already perfectly mastered everything with my body, I am pretending to learn because I am attached to my teacher. It was the same for me too. I was also very strongly tied to my disciple. Even knowing that the disciple was pretending to learn, he thought, ‘Isn’t that enough if we can be together like this a little longer?’ That’s enough to make me think the same thing.

But it can’t be.

“You are very important right now.”

I didn’t transplant a heart to come to a kid enduring that excruciating pain for nothing. I also don’t want my student to walk on a dangerous path. But it can’t be. This is because the law of equal exchange is thoroughly applied to martial arts in an irrational yet unequal world. You cannot become strong without trials. You cannot obtain true strength without difficulties. Just as the more you hammer, the sharper the sword is, the martial arts can never shine without such a process.

So here, as a teacher, no matter how reluctant the student is to leave, you must resolutely let him leave as if cutting off a relationship. So here you are… .

“Then I will prepare.”

“Okay, get ready to leave… . yes?”

I couldn’t help but stare blankly at the disciple’s back as he silently prepared to pack.

what?

isn’t this

♧♧♧

Even if the world perishes, can’t I just stay here?

She had the confidence that she would be happy and satisfied enough if she could be by Master’s side until the moment the world collapsed. After a really long time, it was her resting place.

Just like when a castaway who has been wandering in the desert for a long time finds an oasis, the oasis looks like a sanctuary no matter how many harmful germs infest it… . For her, being by Jade’s side was more important than anything like the end of the world.

But I couldn’t.

It wasn’t that long, but during that time, Jade became a precious person to her. That the future of that precious person has nothing but destruction and despair. she couldn’t tolerate it. It was unacceptable. Knowing that, I couldn’t stay still. So, she was already preparing her heart.

I sincerely hope that the time will be as late as possible.

Fortunately, a little later than expected, Jade told her to leave. From that face, Sarah could easily sense that Jade didn’t really want her to leave. Obviously, his predictions were correct. At that timing, Jade must have thought, ‘It’s time to send the little boy away.’ But I didn’t like parting, so I took my time. With that alone, Sera could feel the warmth.

It may not be something she longs for like herself, but if Jade felt the regret of parting from herself, it was because it was valuable enough for her.

so that

‘If it’s a reason to save this world… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Now there is.’

To her, this world was literally hell. I couldn’t feel anything worth saving. No matter how hard I tried, the effort did not come back as a result, and no matter how hard I tried to not give up, only the things I wanted to give up happened. No one stretched out their hands toward the despairing self. Trying to save the world felt like an idiot, and he felt like he was the only one trying to save the world. So she gave up. I tried not to take it anymore. I didn’t want to have any more hope. I didn’t want to have the will to save the world anymore.

It was.

Jade instilled such a will in herself. It was made to keep such hope in mind.

A man named Jade has accomplished a unique feat that has never happened during those countless returns and that no one else has ever accomplished. Even if it was truly a miracle, no, it was more valuable than a miracle.

absolute existence

To her, Jade already had a place in her heart as such.

So, even for this absolute existence, he must save the world.

The ignorant Demon King, who could not be defeated no matter what, must also be defeated this time. How many failures have you made against the monster? How many times have you been frustrated? How many times have you despaired?

But

Surprisingly, I wasn’t afraid at all.

More than the fear of the devil

Because the fear that he might lose his sanctuary due to the demon king was overwhelmingly greater.

More than anything

‘I’m not alone.’

Because Jade’s Aura Heart was inside her. More than anything, it was because there was no reason to feel fear when a reliable colleague was by his side.

‘Definitely kill.’

and himself

To this best resting place

You will return to this haven, the only place where you can feel rest.

Hope for tomorrow, dream for the future.

As a human being, he had regained the natural senses and instincts he should have.

It was the moment when the most important core as a human being returned to the hands of a hero who gained a lot of knowledge, experience, and strength through infinite return, but lost the most important thing as a human being.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“Have you forgotten anything?”

“There is not.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

I scratched the back of my head. Farewell is familiar. For a mercenary, parting and bereavement are like everyday things. But is it because it is the first disciple? Or is it because of the guilt of having to entrust the fate of the world to such a kid?

In order to alleviate that guilt even a little, I had to transplant the Aura Heart to the kid, but that didn’t change the fact that I put a name tag on him as a candidate for a hero and made him live a harsh and cruel tomorrow. It was to the point where he wanted to fight instead of him. But as a teacher, I know. This guy is a swordsman, so he will rise to a higher level than those with grandiose names.

‘Maybe this guy is really the protagonist of the oracle.’

I wish it was like that.

Then this child would not lose his life on the battlefield.

In the end, there is nothing I can do other than be left like this. There is nothing but to let go. There is no role that can be taken on other than the role of remaining behind and watching the back of the disciple who is leaving.

Rather, it may be an honor.

I am nothing

That’s why I was able to take on a fairly decent role.

“Take this.”

“… what is this?”

“It’s nothing.”

It was different. I had to rob all of my remaining possessions. I don’t think you need money to live a secluded life. It is an illusion. It is natural for human beings to form a group by forming a group and live by building a society like that. But wouldn’t it be easy to go against that and try to live a leisurely life alone? It was natural for many uncomfortable things to happen, and there is no surefire way to solve those uncomfortable things easily. But because of the disciple, he blew it all away.

No regrets.

An adult opens his wallet for a child, because it’s natural

I just did the obvious thing.

“Check later.”

I never let my presents unfold in front of me. It’s because I really hate seeing faces that I don’t like. It’s a gift I gave after much thought, but to ‘? Is this all?’ Seeing the same face… . Just imagining it turns my stomach upside down. That’s why I don’t want to unwrap the gift I prepared in front of me, even for myself. It’s never because I feel ashamed of such an atmosphere. If you say no, it’s not.

anyway

Now is the time for a real farewell.

“Sera”

“… … !”

The boy reacted in surprise. If it had been an elf or a beastman, wouldn’t it have straightened its ears? It reacted so violently.

“The road you must walk ahead will surely be full of adversity and hardships. It must be so difficult, so difficult that you might want to curse someone. When that time comes, curse this poor teacher.”

“… … .”

“You lack nothing. If there is anything lacking, it is my lack of ability to properly guide you, who is so outstanding. So, if such a case arises, this lack of me… .”

“There is no such thing as that.”

“yes?”

“That will never happen.”

“That. so?”

What should I say? My sixth sense, trained on the battlefield, shouted that if I didn’t nod, something big would happen here, so I nodded unconditionally and looked at it.

“Master is the best teacher. I will prove that in the future. So, Master, all you have to do is stay healthy. OK?”

“… You’re the one going to fight, so I’m more worried about you than me… . yes. Take care of my health as much as possible.”

I nodded my head violently enough to make the sound of the wind at Sarah’s huge eyes. I thought he was just calm, but I never thought he would have such a hot fever inside of him. As a teacher, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

“I’ll be back.”

“… … .”

I want to go… .

Right.

Have I become a home to this child to return to?

then

Here is the answer I have to give this child

There was only one.

“Have a good trip, Sara.”

“Yes, I’ll be back.”

So the disciple left me.

I watched it silently until the end.

That is my role as a teacher.
