The Young Son Swordmaster

eps 28s

Fortunately, Jin manages to wake Bradamante up.

Unfortunately, as all the shadows in the area were sucked into him, Jin felt a burning pain in his body that was torn into thousands of pieces.

His mouth screamed out of his own accord, and his limbs unconsciously twisted. Whether he opened or closed his eyes, he still saw the same chaotic and dizzying darkness. Jin wondered if this would be the end of him.

It was a miracle he had not fainted.

Jin realized that this was the 'spiritual energy bottleneck' that Murakan had warned him about.

When the boy first tried to wake Bradamante and Murakan became enraged, the dragon then sat down and calmly explained the danger of the sword.

When individuals with insufficient spiritual energy tried to raise swords haphazardly, they paid the price for it. If one were to experience a bottleneck of spiritual energy, nine out of ten people would instantly perish.

It was not that Jin had forgotten the energy bottleneck when he woke Bradamante during the fight.

He had absolutely no other solution to win and survive, other than the Orgal Pendant. But Jin has not been willing to ruin it, as it can only be used once in his lifetime.

Sudden missions issued to beginner class cadets. The appearance of Kinzelo and the White Wolf beastman.

Jin believes that while Cyron did not foresee Mesa's abduction, his father had planned for this unexpected incident to happen to examine the way Jin handled the situation.

This mission is not to test cadets. His real goal was to evaluate Jin, and only Jin.

'If I use that pendant to survive a life-threatening situation, Dad will give me the worst score.'

Jin's father, Cyron Runcandel, was a very cold-hearted person.

The patriarch only showed interest in Jin because the boy was connected to Soldert and because of his outstanding results and skills in the classroom.

However, if Jin let his father down just once, Cyron would ruthlessly abandon all hope and interest in his youngest son soon.

Actually, Jin was hoping that would happen. As long as Cyron's interest in her remained, the boy would have a harder time acting quietly and practicing his magic. Jin didn't really have any attachment to his clan and reputation from the start.

However, today was not the right day to disappoint her father. Jin still had a lot to learn and accept from the Runcandel Clan.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGHH!

Jin screamed in pain again as he bent his back to the wrong side. Whenever a shadow is absorbed in his body, Jin thinks that death is not a bad solution to avoid this pain.

If there really was a punishment waiting for sinners in hell, would it feel like this?

The boy experienced the sensation of being burned alive and having his organs frozen at the same time.

'I cannot lose consciousness. If I do, it's over for me. Stay focused…!'

He had never experienced such pain even in his first life. His suffering wasn't as severe as this when his teacher struck lightning at him for several hours to make him understand the essence behind lightning magic.

Jin did not know whether time flowed or not. He was not sure if a few minutes or a few hours had passed since the agony began.

He can't resist this forever. Jin must do something to overcome this crisis.

And the answer to this 'something' is obvious.

'Spiritual release.'

The boy barely managed to sit cross-legged on the ground and started gathering the spiritual energy within his body to a single location.

Dark red blood flowed between his trembling lips, and his eyes completely spun backwards, unable to return to their original position.

He was constantly coughing and gasping. Jin could sense that he was walking on the thin line between life and death right now.

However, he could not control the violent and chaotic spiritual energy within him with just a 3-star spiritual release, a stage he had just reached. After starting the spiritual release, Jin spewed out a lump of dark blood and fell forward.

'Again, again ... Again. Stay calm.'

A strong dizzy grasped him as he began to hear auditory hallucinations.

Most of the hallucinations are related to events in Jin's past life. Things like 'You are the disgrace of the clan' or 'Failed like you shouldn't have been born in our clan'. Such auditory hallucinations continuously bothered him.

However, such words and slander had no effect on Jin at the moment. He completely ignored what his ears were saying, and concentrated on the spiritual energy within him.

Heat energy on one side, cold energy on the other.

Jin instinctively separated the spiritual energy within his body to the right and left according to his properties, as if he was sifting the pebbles on the ground according to their color.

The intense pain rooted in his brain slowly began to dissipate.

His eyes turned back to their normal position and light returned to his vision. Jin's intuition told him that he would manage to gain control of the spiritual energy bottleneck within him. As his suffering waned, Jin slowly examined his surroundings.

The shadow that Jin absorbed had returned to its original position. However, unlike what Murakan had shown him in the basement of Storm Castle, the objects whose shadows were stolen from them were not damaged or broken.

The more the pain goes away, the better Jin can think with a clear mind. Shortly thereafter, Jin completely separated the two types of spiritual energy remaining within him.

The environment regained its original color. The fire was extinguished under the influence of spiritual energy, and the burning forest smelled of ash.

“Fiuh.”

As he exhaled deeply, the disciplined spiritual energy came to a halt.

That energy no longer harmed Jin in any way.

'Does that work? The pain disappeared unnaturally so quickly that it made me nervous now.’

Jin stood up and began to stretch his body. He felt nothing out of place. In fact, everything went as usual.

However, one difference compared to before was the abundant spiritual energy within him. It felt like it would leak even if Jin stood still, doing nothing.

'After all, I don't think I'll have any trouble moving now. I have to get back with Mesa.'

Mesa was still unconscious in front of the Kinzelo building. In other words, not much time had passed since the beginning of his fight against Quazito.

As he passed Mesa's arm over her shoulder, Jin suddenly turned to face the building again.

"Who's there?!"

He has detected someone. Someone was walking down the corridor inside the building towards the front door.

However, unlike the Kinzelo members he had fought before, this person did not feel like a trained fighter. The unknown person walked recklessly as Jin heard their gasping breaths.

As Jin opened the door, he saw a frightened young man raise both his hands to defend. He looked delicate and weak, as if he had not faced any difficulties in life. Jin could not help but tilt his head in confusion.

"Who are you? Other Kinzelo members?”

"No! Absolutely not! I'm Cember Bill, from the Zhan Kingdom Bill Clan.”.

“Ah, so that's you. I almost missed you. It's nice to meet you."

Jin grinned as he spoke.

Cember BILL. He was the heir of the 'Bill' Merchant Clan of the Zhan Kingdom. He was the missing person the cadets were looking for.

“K-You?”

“Jin Runcandel's. I searched for you after receiving a request from your father.”

“Runcandel?! Thank you heaven!”

As soon as Pember heard Jin's name, his eyes began to tear up.

“You saved my life. I, Bill, will never forget this favor, Mr. Jin. Thank you very much!"

As she received a sincere thank you, Jin could only stand awkwardly and feel guilty.

Ever since the members of Kinzelo attacked the cadets, he had completely forgotten about the whereabouts of Cember and their mission to search for him.

“No help to pay. We accepted this mission after we were paid. Now, stop crying. Time to go home."

“Hiks, hicks. Sniffed. Yeah." yeah."

And so, Jin and Cember left the pale forest as the first one carried Mesa on his back. The pout only regained consciousness a moment after they left the forest.

“In hindsight, how did you get caught by them, Pember? We just heard that you've disappeared in this area. ”

“It...”

"If it's hard to talk about, you don't have to."

"Not everything. Actually, it's because of my boyfriend. But I'm not sure if Mr. Jin will trust me.”

“Why don't I trust you? Did you elope with her or something? ”

"…no. I came to the southern border because I followed my lover, who died two years ago.”

Jin stopped nodding and froze in his steps.

“You followed your deceased lover here? You mean what?"

Did she lose her mind from the shock of being kidnapped? Jin thought inwardly while observing the pouting gaze. However, his eyes looked clear and lively.

“I also wonder if I saw a ghost or not. But it must be him. He had the exact same face, and also had two moles on his wrist. He gave me a note telling me to come here. And you know what happened after.”

Pouting awkwardly turned towards Jin.

"Ha ha's. As I thought, you don't believe me. I am also not sure if I should tell my clan about this or not once I go home. ”

“No, keep talking. The woman who gave you the letter... Is that really your lover?”

“That's what I said. There's no way I don't recognize him. His face, his voice, his gaze as he looked at me. Everything is exactly the same as before.”

Hearing those words, Jin thought of one name.

Bouvard Gaston's. It looks like this is the work of that transformation master.’

Crime transformation.

An extraordinary series of crimes that rocked the world in his past life. When the special forces of the Vermont Empire revealed Bouvard Gaston's crimes to the public after arresting him, the majority of them were kidnapping cases.

And there was only one reason why he kidnapped the son of a wealthy tycoon.

“He plans to demand a ransom. What is the relationship between Bouvard and Kinzelo?’

Jin could not find an answer to that now. The boy decided that it was time for him to go look for Bouvard himself.

Ever since Zippel's followers tried to kidnap Jin when he left Storm Castle, he and Bouvard are destined to meet one day. However, Jin has not gone to find the villain until now because he is still growing and has no chance.

'"Fragmented masterpieces" he manages are located in the capital of Curano Dukedom. I had to find an opportunity to meet him while I was in middle training class.’

Jin felt an oddity whenever he thought of Bouvard.

If the villain was really connected to Kinzelo and the radical Zippel followers, Jin could not carelessly create trouble with Bouvard because his reaction would be huge.

'I need to meet him in person and find out what kind of person he is. It was also a good idea to get more information about him that was not written in the newspapers in my past life.'

Finished telling his story, Cember smiled shyly.

“Thank you for taking me seriously, Mr. Jin. Actually, I think no one would believe me if I went back home, which made my heart heavy. But seeing you listen in earnest is a breath of fresh air.”

“That's a relief to know.”

After walking for another two hours, Jin let out a beacon from his chest pocket and shot it into the sky.

“The main house must have sent some reinforcements by now. Let's wait for them to arrive here.”

"Huh? Master Jin, did you really summon the guardian knight Runcandel just to save me?”

Pout is moved by the sincerity of Jin(?) and it looked as if he was willing to pay some gold crowns to Jin if Jin asked for it. Jin could not bear to say that it was all for Mesa, so he just nodded awkwardly.

Ignorance is happiness.

“I will never forget today, Mr. Jin. If you need my help in some way, please feel free to come to me.”

Bill spoke while extending his hand.

Jin didn't think Runcandels would need the help of a mere merchant clan, but then again, he didn't say it out loud.

Jin answered positively while shaking his hand.
