The Young Son Swordmaster

eps 24s

Their number?”

"They have confirmed three people."

“There can't be only three idiots who would attack Runcandel's cadets. There must be more of them somewhere. Edington, David! Once we get near the camp, find the attackers. ”

"Yes!"

“If you find them, don't get involved. Report back to me as soon as possible. ”

Jin did not expect the cadets to be attacked by humans, not beastmen.

'If they still attack us regardless of our Runcandel robes... Are they radical Zippel followers?'

As they immediately ran, Jin continued to listen to Bellop's report.

“The attackers were all wearing masks, so Group 2 was unable to identify them. But they mentioned that the attackers used the most common and widespread longsword in Zhan.” Kingdom

In that case, it seems like this is the work of an insider from the Zhan Kingdom.

But he still could not rule out the possibility that Zippel's followers were behind this attack. It's possible that they deliberately used the weapons produced in Zhan to confuse us.

'If Group 2 manages to escape after a battle, the enemy must not be a 5-star knight or higher. The problem is we don't know who they are..’.

Why are they attacking Group 2?

If they were indeed radical Zippel followers, and if they came here after hearing that 'radet Runcandel was on a mission in this area', then they would target Group 1 first, because Jin is a part of it.

After running non-stop for three hours, the campground was finally spotted. They would arrive sooner if they traveled through the meadow rather than the forest, but they were unable to be found by the enemy.

Edington and David split from the group in search of the attacker. The only ones left near the camp are Jin, Bellop and Sierra.

5 morning.

If they were to head for the Group 2 hideout right now, dawn would arrive. Since they still did not know the number of their enemies and troops, the cadets and Jin would be harmed if the light returned.

'I hope Group 2 hides itself properly. They are all skilled kids, so I don't have to worry too much.’.

The remaining three members of Group 1 started moving again. They plan to join Group 2 in their hideout and wait for Edington and David to return with details about the attackers.

Jin and the others quickly arrive at the hideout, but Group 2 is no more. All that was left was a letter at the entrance of the cave and a pool of blood on the ground.

“Y-Young Master. It's…"

“It looks like they've been found.”

Jin clenched and gnashed his teeth upon seeing this scene.

'This mama .. I don't know who you are, but I will find you, and I will kill you all.'

Jin had not felt anger for a long time. Even during his sudden death in his first life, he felt more hopeless than angry. And after her setback, she was busy making the most of her new life every day and had no time to think about her emotions.

But this time, his head heated up in anger in an instant.

The bloodstains around the cave all came from children in their teens. Moreover, those children were his subordinates who followed him.

Jin closed his eyes and calmed down before acting rashly. He must remain calm to find the enemy and avenge the cadets.

“Quiet, Bell. His blood is not completely dry. It hasn't been long since they were found. ”

Jin spoke to Bellop— who was panting. There was so much blood that he thought Group 2 had all been killed.

“There is a lot of blood, but no pieces of flesh or bone. And there was no trace of the body falling onto the grass. Group 2 managed to escape during the battle. There are a lot of footprints here. But looking at its size, it seemed like there were only a few enemies searching in this area when they were found.”

Sierra calmly nodded at Jin's observation. He's been tracking Group 2's movements by examining footprints and bloodstains.

“They seem to have gone west, Young Master. And there's bandages here.”

"Barban?"

Jin quickly joined the Sierra side and observed the piece of bandage. It must have been manufactured in Huphester.

“There is one attacker. He must have injured Group 2 before escaping first. Group 2 seemed to have stayed here for a moment to tend to their injuries but had to flee as they expected the attacker to return. ”

Looking to the west, Jin would see a long road of grass that was being trampled. Since there were no traces of horse hooves and only human footprints along with bloodstains, there was no reason for Jin to hesitate.

“Sierra, hide in this area and wait for Edington and David to return. Then rejoin us. We're going after them, Bellop.”

They were panting and blowing as they ran at full speed. As none of them slept for a while and spent the entire night running and searching, their stamina was nearing its limit.

Bellop was exhausted just from following Jin, but the latter was not too worried right now. As long as there were five or less 4-star warriors to deal with, Jin could easily handle all of them.

In fact, one thing that worried him was how he used mana and spiritual power unnoticed by the cadets, but he did not drown himself in that worry.

He was more concerned with saving the cadets than hiding his secret.

'Metallic noise! The cadets are fighting with people!’

Jin and Bellop's hasty pursuit comes to fruition. After about 30 minutes of chasing, they could hear voices in the distance. Bellop also noticed the sounds. They both stopped in their tracks to find the source.

Jin stopped his breathing and scanned his surroundings, checking if any enemies were following them as well.

"From now on we'll go undercover, Bellop."

'But Group 2 is fighting the enemy now, Young Master.'

'We are in the forest now. Rather than announcing our arrival to everyone, it was better to sneak behind the attackers and attack them in surprise. If there are not many enemies, we can end this in a few seconds.’

As the two quietly traveled among the trees and approached the source of the sound, they were finally able to check on the Group 2 cadets.

They were in the middle of a battle in the middle of the forest. None of them had received fatal injuries like amputations, but everyone had minor injuries like small wounds around their bodies.

'Scott, Kiko, Zhushen... Where's Mesa?'

He could only see three cadets.

(T/T & PR/T: #JusticeForTaimont!)

The masked enemy numbered two. Seeing their movements, Jin came to the conclusion that they were indeed 4-star warriors.

'We will attack them from behind simultaneously on my signal. I take the left, you take the right... Wait, no. Did you bring a dagger?’

Bellop pulled out a dagger that was stored on his chest rope.

'Close your eyes.'

Bellop was not the type of person to ask himself such a question. If the Young Master ordered him to close his eyes, he would close his eyes. As soon as Bellop did so, Jin covered the dagger with spiritual energy.

Spiritual power can increase the cutting power and weapon-destroying like aura.

But it has one more effect. When the weapon was enveloped in spiritual energy, the existence and existence of the object thinned out. Therefore, it could greatly increase the chances of a surprise attack's success, especially if one accurately threw the dagger without making a sound.

'Listen carefully, Bellop. As soon as I finish speaking, wait another two seconds and attack the enemy on the left.’

Holy hooch!

As soon as he finished whispering, Jin threw the dark dagger. His blade cut through the wind as it hurtled through the forest, and nestled behind the head of the far right enemy.

“Ugh.”

The attacker who swung his sword immediately stopped moving. But before his allies on the left could even turn to check on him, Bellop ran towards him from behind and swung his sword at the backs of the surviving enemies.

The attacker quickly realizes the attack and turns to fend off Bellop's sword, but his Achilles tendon is cut off by a continued surprise attack from Jin.

“Argh!”

Thump! Thumping!

Jin did not immediately reap the life of the attacker, and attacked the back of his head and temple with the handle of his sword. And as the enemy fell to the ground half unconscious, Jin pressed his knees to his nape and completely pressed down on him.

"Young Master!"

The cadets of Group 2 ran towards Jin. Their faces were painted with relief and hope for their survival, but were soon followed by desperation for having destroyed the young master's first mission.

“Is everyone okay? Do you know who sent this bastard? ”

Jin slammed his fist into the assailant's calf as he continued to groan and wheeze. He also put more force on his knees to dip the attacker's head into the mud.

“We are fine. But Mesa... was captured by them.”.

"We have failed you, Young Master."

Sighs.

Jin sighed deeply and gripped the hair of the surviving assailant and removed his mask. It was the face of a 30-year-old man she had never seen before.

“The ones that failed were him and his boss. You take care of your wounds for now. Scott seems to be the most injured. ”

"S-Let go of me ..."

"You want me to save you?"

Jin could not help but laugh sarcastically at the attacker's words.

'Looks not a follower of Zippel because he cares about his life.'

'Let go of me' were not the first words a brave and reckless person would say after daring to attack the cadets of Runcandel.

“You should have said that before attacking my subordinates. You have two choices now. Either you tell us your affiliation and why you attacked us along with where your headquarters is located, and we will kill you—and only you—without pain.”

Hit, hit.

Jin spoke while slapping the assailant's cheek from side to side.

“Or shut up, and the Runcandel Clan will kill anyone and everyone you come into contact with in the most painful way ever. Choose wisely."

The attacker's eyes quivered as he listened to Jin's cold voice.

“You don't have much time to think. Make a choice already.”

“Will... Will you really kill... only me if I speak? I know that...the revenge of the Runcandels... was never this sincere..”.

“Normally so. But I am someone who keeps my word. My name is Jin Runcandel. If you talk, your family and friends will not be harmed. I risked my honor and the honor of the clan. ”

The attacker turned his gaze to observe the cadets. They just stood still and nodded.

"I'll talk."

“Wise choice.”

"I am from a revolutionary group called 'Kinzelo'."

Kinzelos.

Upon hearing the name, Jin recalled an event that caused an uproar and shook the Zhan Kingdom in his first life. It was a large-scale terror attack carried out by the self-proclaimed 'revolutionary group Kinzelo.

Kinzelo was different compared to the radical followers of the Zipfel Clan.

Zipfel's followers only targeted Runcandels while carrying out the terror attack, but areas of Kinzelo's activity exist around the world. They are madmen who believe that their king must be the king of the world in order for their 'revolution' to be complete.

'Kinzelo had a relationship with the beastmen and caused so much chaos. They became famous for killing King Zhan and slaughtering so many civilians.’

However, Jin did not know what happened to Kinzelo after. He only knew that they were still active and developing around the time he died.

“A revolutionary group. You were planning to attack Runcandel's cadets, causing chaos in Zhan Kingdom, right?”

“I'm just a low-ranking member, so I don't know much. I also don't know the location of our headquarters, but the branch I am part of is located at the entrance of the beastmen territory. There are about 20 members in that branch.”

"I saw. I'll ask you one last question. Why did you catch Mesa?”

The attacker shook his head and sighed.

“For dakwah. Apparently, the superior ordered us to arrest the female cadets alive if possible to use them for propaganda and publicity for the revolution.”.

"Botten news."

The skrrt!

Jin pulls Bradamante out of his scabbard, and the attacker closes his eyes.

Thud.

“With this, I have kept my promise.”

A head fell to the ground, and Jin swung his sword one last time to remove the blood on his sword.

'Terrible situation. We don't have time to ask for reinforcements from the clan. I have to go alone.’
