The Hero Disciple Is Back

EP.32 – 31. Master is acting as a senior after a long time

“So I guess it’s time to tell you the real purpose of coming here.”

“ha ha ha. Brother too. I came to see my brother’s face. Any other reason?”

“I thought that too. Now your face is the same as it was when you asked me about this and that. There’s something I want to ask just by looking at it, but it seems like I’m forcing myself to hold it in. ”

“… The only thing that can really fool you is the ghost and that guy.”

“yes? what?”

“it’s nothing!”

I couldn’t hear what Balik said. The Balik guy changed his words in a mean way. I’m curious about that, but the important thing right now is something else, so I decided to focus on that.

“anyway… . That’s right. I’m looking for an answer somehow No one will answer.”

“Is it about the level of a superhuman?”

“… … ?! How did you know?!”

“It’s simple elimination.”

“No, what kind of magic is elimination? How can someone you haven’t seen in a while know about a problem that causes hair to fall out right away?”

Well, it wasn’t that difficult. Balik was currently sitting in the high position of the mercenary king. Being the king of mercenaries was a high position with considerable power. Even a high-nosed bureaucrat of the empire had to pay attention. In other words, if he has a question, there are many ways to solve it. Nevertheless, if it’s something that comes to the self who lives in seclusion… .

It was only about the level of a superman.

“Didn’t you come up as well?”

“… Well, that’s what my brother said. Even if you don’t know the ranks of masters, it’s like my older brother said that it would be difficult to become a superman.”

I guess… .

Balik was a fighting genius. Although he has a bad brain, his talent in fighting is truly superior to anyone else. But the problem is that it is literally a talent for fighting, not a talent for martial arts. Fighting talent and martial arts talent are different. In the eyes of ordinary people, it may look the same, but if you have risen to the level of a master, the difference becomes clearer. Swords and bows are both weapons that can kill people, but just as the talents for handling them are completely different, it is only natural that fighting and martial arts have different talents.

That is why it was visible to my eyes. In other words, Balik, who is the best in terms of fighting talent, is not at all like that in terms of martial arts talent. It doesn’t usually happen like this. Normally, if you were born with a talent for fighting, you would also have a talent for martial arts to some extent. But in Balik’s case, that was not the case. That’s why there was a problem.

Fighting talent would be enough to rise to the ranks of a master, but it was not the level of a superman. His talent for fighting would become a powerful weapon and support him so that he could fight against a superman on an equal footing, but he couldn’t break the wall of a superman with only his talent for fighting.

That’s why I’ve been anticipating it for a long time. Balik thought that he would quickly break through the ranks of masters and obtain absurd power enough to fight even against superhumans, but that was the limit.

It’s not that I didn’t have a heart to do something with the martial arts talent that he lacked. I wanted to do something for him, so I gave him advice, thought about it together, and shared swords with him. But in the end, I couldn’t find a way to solve his problem.

The guy said to me

I wonder if being able to rise to the ranks of a master is enough for a mercenary. It was Balik who had told me that with all his heart.

“Wasn’t mercenaries overflowing because the ranks of masters weren’t enough?”

“Well, whatever… . I can’t explain it to you in detail, but it means I’m very broken.”

“you? Even if you’re a superman, wouldn’t that be easy?”

“Even superhumans, there is such a thing as a heavenly world. Anyway, I was very unlucky to get involved with someone like that and get into trouble.”

“It’s a natural disaster.”

“… It’s too unfair to call it a natural disaster, but… . Whatever! Anyway, I’ve been through a lot.”

“therefore?”

“But if you lower your head just because you were beaten, aren’t you a bastard?”

“Are you going to take revenge?”

“no no. I can’t have a relationship like that where I’m risking my life to get revenge on him. anyway! Since I’ve been hurt, shouldn’t I just show ‘I’m not that kind of a guy!’?”

Hmm… . It’s amazing. If you’ve been stimulated that much, you have to say, ‘If I have to give him a shot, won’t he be qualified to walk around as a man?’ . Provoked but not willing to retaliate? Did you even fall for that person? But if it was that kind of thing, that guy’s personality would be honest, ‘I’ve got a girl I want to look good on, but I think I’ll have to be a bit stronger for that.’ It was clear he would have said that.

well anyway that’s a good thing It was difficult, but Balik was able to rise to the level of a superhuman if he could break down just one wall. Even after I retired, I was still in my heart. ‘He only needs to break one more wall… . The high ground, the apex is right in front… .’

“If you ask for help, I will help as much as possible, but as you know, I have only experienced the ranks of masters. In addition to that, he has now lost even that realm. Do you think I can be of help?”

“I think it’s a bit too much. Even if you ask superhumans, you never get a proper answer. It was so overwhelming that I couldn’t help it.”

Just because he’s a guy doesn’t mean he came to me without making any effort. Maybe it came to me in the end because there is no answer even after mobilizing all the means and methods that can be done. The Balik I knew was such a guy.

“I don’t think I will be of much help to you, but I will try my best.”

Saying that, he stood up.

“What are you doing?”

“Yes?”

“Raise your sword.”

♧♧♧

“brother… . Is this okay?”

“What’s wrong with saying you’re going to do sparring after a long time?”

For Valik, it was like that. By giving Sera a heart to aura, he had to fight against Jade, who was weaker than before. it was like that Above all, even though his health seems to have recovered a lot, it is clear that he is still weak compared to before, so what if he wields it wrongly and gets seriously injured? Such concerns and worries naturally arose.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve been carrying a bow for a while, so it feels very awkward.”

“… Are you really okay?”

“Did I, the one you knew, be the one with the ridiculous bravado?”

“Of course not… .”

“Don’t worry, come. Did I say I would fight you with a sword without thinking about it?”

“… ok.”

The Jade he knew was never a pretentious person. Rather, he was the one who was far from bravado more than anyone else. Since he was such a person, he certainly had his own beliefs, so he could think that he was doing that. But no matter how sparring it is, if there is even a scratch on that body… .

‘He’s really going to try to kill me…’ .’

However, it was clear that his brother would do that because he had a good reason. And I honestly wanted to see what it was like.

Shuang!

Whoa!

Valik swung his huge greatsword.

The sword he cherished had become unusable by Sera, so he didn’t completely like it because it was an item he obtained in moderation, but it was still useful enough, so he carried it around.

“If you hurt my older brother, whom I haven’t seen in a long time, it will hurt my heart very much. Be careful and be careful.”

“Don’t worry. Unlike how you look, you still have a lot of worries.”

“Didn’t you promise me a long time ago that you wouldn’t say anything about what happened?!”

“How long will the guy with the sword just talk? Come quickly.”

“… ugh! I’m going! go!”

aaang!

Gathering his aura, he kicked the ground, passed the huge trail, and sprinted with all his might, brandishing his greatsword.

Whoaaagh!

A greatsword wielded with the force of a single blow, Jade easily dodged it.

“Your attack is still monotonous.”

“It’s okay though!”

Whoa!

If the attack is monotonous, it is easy to read the number and easy to deal with. But what if the power contained within that monotonous attack is too powerful? Then the story changes. This is because if the attack power is so strong that it cannot be defended, there is no way other than avoiding it.

Wow!

If you wield an attack with high attack power and even speed, it would be a nightmare. That’s why the mercenary king Balik passed through as a nightmare on the battlefield.

However, Jade was perfectly coping with that nightmare.

“As expected, there was a corner to believe!”

Valik laughed heartily and shouted. Although she didn’t do her best, Jade avoided all the attacks that were not light with her tremendous agility and speed. Seeing it with his own eyes, Balik couldn’t help but be happy. The fact that his idol didn’t weaken was because it was a story that he couldn’t help but be happy with as a sword bearer.

It was possible because ‘Nature Mana’ was more effective and efficient than Aura in moving quickly.

“You’ve definitely gotten stronger. It can’t even be compared to before.”

And that’s how Jade knew.

‘Just one step is not enough.’

It’s just one step.

If you take just one more step

Balik will be able to enter the realm of a superman.

But that one step was a problem.

It was not because many masters in the ranks of masters did not want to become superhuman. The steps to reach the level of a superman are always not easy no matter how much time and effort one puts into it, so they couldn’t reach the level of a superman.

I want to be but I can’t

That one step was just that.

‘But if it’s you, you’ll be able to take that one step forward.’

After all, he was his own brother.

It’s only natural that he can do it if he’s his younger brother.

Jade was doing things that he would never have done in the past. Jade, who had learned absolute trust in others thanks to her student, was using it at this moment.

‘So I’ll have to do my best.’

“Balik”

“… … ?”

“You have already been cut.”

“… Yes?”

Pujik!

Slurp!

A shallow cut opened on Valik’s shoulder, stained with blood.

“… What is this?!”

Valik couldn’t understand.

His body was always protected by an aura. So, any attack had to hit that aura first. No matter how much he was unconscious, the aura should have protected him.

But that was completely ignored.

No, in the first place… .

‘When did you get cut?’

Even though he was cut, he didn’t know he was cut?

Is that possible?

Valik couldn’t help but feel the fear coming from the unknown.

“brother… . You were hiding a really scary move.”

“Did you tell me? Your brother is not a ridiculous bluffer.”

“yes… . That’s it, brother!”

The man who gave Valik, a new mercenary who wasn’t afraid of whether the opponent was a master or a superman, the first time he felt helpless and afraid that he couldn’t win.

That man goes into hiding and no matter how much time passes

Oh, even if I lose my heart

yet

As a silent strongman, he stood loftily in front of himself.

“Kkyakya! Ha ha ha ha ha! After all, hyung-nim is the best!!”

“Really… .”

Jade shook her head as if in trouble and swung her sword.

Fu-wook!

Again, shallow wounds appeared on Valik’s body.

“Don’t get drunk in a fight. Haven’t you told me hundreds, thousands of times?”

“Kkeuk! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

But Valik burst out with a mad laugh and continued to pounce on Jade.

It was because he knew very well that it was the surest way to win against Jade now.
