The Young Son Swordmaster
eps 29's
As soon as the novice grade cadets finished reporting the results of their mission, chaos descended upon the Sword Garden.
As Garon announced the completion of the perfect mission to Rosa, she smiled in satisfaction.
The other Runcandels who were waiting in the main building could not hide their shock and disbelief.
"What's? Jin fought against the White Wolf warrior beastman and won ?! ”
"Impossible. There must be bandits wearing wolf fur or something. How could a brat who had just become a 3-star knight kill a White Wolf beastman? ”
Fourth daughter Myu Runcandel and fifth daughter Anne Runcandel were chatting amongst themselves. They were ten and nine years older than Jin respectively and both of them were currently 7-star knights.
The powerful White Wolf warrior beastman would be a difficult opponent even for knights who had just reached the 7-star stage. It was no wonder that Myu and Anne could not believe Jin's achievements.
"Even if the youngest were to encounter a beastman who was extremely weak compared to their tribe's average, a 3-star would still not be able to defeat a White Wolf beastman."
“Ya, yes. But did you tell me that Mom really believed what the report said?
The two dissatisfied women shook their heads. Meanwhile, two young men were as white as sheets.
Needless to say, they were Daytona and Haytona.
From the beginning of their ill-fated relationship with Jin at Storm Castle, the twins could not see Jin as a younger brother. To them, Jin was a monster.
“A-Do you think... Jin actually killed that beastman?”
Haytona spoke as she grabbed her twin shoulders. His hands seemed to tremble in fear.
"No matter how powerful the monster was, a White Wolf beastman was impossible for him."
“I think so..”
A smile of relief grew on Haytona's face. But Daytona turned to her brother and looked into his eyes.
“But it doesn't matter whether he actually killed a White Wolf beastman or not, Haytona. What's more urgent is that we're done if he advances to the middle class! ”
Despair is rooted in the eyes of the Tona twins as they seem to lose the will to live.
In fact, the twins hoped deep down that Jin would fail in his mission miserably. They expect his progress to be delayed due to his failure, and in the meantime, the twins will train harder than ever to grow stronger. And as soon as Jin finally advanced to the middle class, they did not need to tremble in fear at their younger brother.
But it's all over for them. Not only did Jin manage to save the missing individual, he also defeated a White Wolf beastman. In fact, Jin was considered a hero among the cadets in the beginner class.
'Fuck, fuck, shit! Sure, he could have been stronger than us at Storm Castle since we were young too, but really? Now anyway?? We shouldn't have messed it up when he first joined the beginner training class..!’.
Daytona let out a deep sigh as she recalled the past events.
Back when the Tona twins were in their 2nd year of beginner class, there was a period of time when they earnestly bullied Jin. Since they started learning true swordsmanship two years earlier than Jin, the twins were stronger than their siblings for a while.
The first few months were full of excitement and excitement.
They could use the spar as a pretext to beat up their brother— who used to rule the twins behind in Storm Castle. It would not be wrong to say that those months were the best days of their lives.
However, their happiness did not last long. A few months after Jin joined the training class, the twins were beaten and beaten by their younger brother in front of the cadets almost every day.
And now, that nightmare was about to start again because their demon brother was about to join the middle training class!
“This is sad..”.
Haytona spoke as she recalled the same incident as her twin sister. His voice was weak and feeble, as if his soul was coming out through his mouth.
“Wait, no. Nah! It might be fine. We might be able to win against him! Our hard work so far in the middle class will not be in vain!”
Haytona spoke with hope as she changed her mind.
"…no. We can't win against him. To be honest, I can't believe that he defeated a White Wolf beastman. But I'm sure the story has a level of truth behind it.”
"Ah."
The twins lowered their heads once again and sighed. They are fully aware that they are 'under' the jinn in the food chain.
While the Tona brothers stood up anxiously, Myu and Anne snorted and sneered.
“True, I forgot we had these fools in the family. Sheesh!”
“Are you really afraid that the youngest is advancing to the middle class? Cheahah!”
“Hiiik!”
The twins stared back at them with tomato-red faces, but that only lasted for two seconds. Since they were in the middle of a 3-star stage, they would not dare to anger their 7-star elder sister.
“Daytona, you just went hiik and squealed like a pig, right?”
"Want I break your arm and put you in a pigsty?"
"That's .. not that!"
"Oh? Didn't you miss something there?"
“... Not that, Elder Brother..”.
The sisters laughed when they saw the Tona twins. After a while, Myu and Anne each grabbed one of Tona and kissed them on the forehead.
“Jeez, we're just kidding! Our younger brother is very cute~”
"I know? They're so sweet that sometimes, I want to bite them and crush them into little pieces, you know? ”
The brothers trembled when they saw their sisters expressing their excessive love(?) to them. Then, Myu suddenly slapped her lips and grinned.
“Hm, so... Our dear sisters are afraid of Jin?”
“As if we are afraid of the youngest, Eldest Brother. Haha.. There is no way it—”
"Stay down! You can be honest, you know? Remember that I really hate liars.”
“...We fear him.”
This time, Anne put on an evil grin as she nodded. Myu and Anne are a great duo of sisters who get along well, just like the twins.
"Then do you want us to help you?"
"How's it?"
“When there is a will, there must be a way. And he was just about to break into the middle class, right?”
Runcandel middle training class.
It was on a completely different scale compared to a beginner class. The weaker cadets were at the 3-star stage, while the stronger ones were around the 5-star stage.
There were far more members compared to the beginner classes. The middle class is no different from savannas or wild forests: places where the law of survival of the fittest is applied.
It was a completely different environment and atmosphere compared to the current beginner class, where cadets regarded each other as 'friends' and helped each other out.
Because the spectrum of cadets is quite wide — from 3 stars to 5 stars — there are some cadets who have remained in the middle class for more than ten years. Myu and Anne used these 'senior middle cadets' as slaves and encouraged them.
“I will tell our slaves in the middle class about the two of you. Use them to trample the youngest.”
“They may be untalented trash who can't even graduate from the middle class, but they are still 5-star knights. They should be rather useful. Do you understand?"
“Oh, oooh..!”
The eyes of the twins Tona glittered.
“Did you hand over your faxes in the middle class to us, Eldest Brother? Real ones?"
Since there were 13 siblings, there were obviously factions within the Runcandel Clan.
Even the Tona twins seemed to have created their own faction within the middle class. In fact, one could consider the current beginner class cadets as part of the Jin faction.
“Hahaha, we just lent it to you, you stupid kids. I also don't like how young people grow up so fast. He makes me uncomfortable.”
"If you use our slaves and fail to trample on Jin, then you two better prepare yourself, my sweet brothers."
The Tona twins clenched their hands tightly and nodded.
If they used their 5-star cadets sisters, then destroying Jin was not just a mere dream.
"Is someone talking about me?"
Jin thought as he scratched his ear after finishing his report.
(T/N: In Korea, there is a superstition in which people believe that if their ears itch, it means someone is talking about it in the back.)
“I heard you successfully completed your first mission. Congratulations, Young Master. Your nanny is so proud of you...!”.
“Thank you, Gilly. Can you prepare warm water? I want to shower.”
“Everything is set up.”
"You're the best."
Yes, and being at home is the best too. The genie started humming himself. Since he had been camping outside for an entire week, he missed taking a warm bath with the pleasant smell of soap.
“Oi, Son.”
But before Jin can get into the bathroom.
“Oh, dear Prophet Runcandel. I miss you so much you—”
"Have you lost your mind?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Jin flinched and avoided eye contact with Murakan.
"How is. A bunch. Timing. Undertook. I'm telling. Ye. NOPE. Catch. Resuscitate. That's. A sword?! You can die if something goes wrong, okay? Is it your ears that are in trouble here or your head? Anwser me. I'll get rid of one of those two for you."
“Haha... Why would the Great Black Dragon talk about such spooky things? There are several states—”
“Huuuh? Some circumstances?? So, that situation is more important than your own life??? Where in the world is there a more important circumstance than the ONLY Solderet contractor, HUH?”
“Lord Murakan, please calm down for now. Young master just returned from..”.
“Seefer this, Strawberry Pie. This is a serious conversation between the two of us.”
"Understood."
“Wait, Murakan. You see, I didn't do it on purpose. My cadets were kidnapped right in front of me, so how could I let them? And I almost ended up being minced meat under the hands of the werewolf White Wolf.”
“Lontin! Is the Orgal Pendant on your neck just for decoration? You can call your sister using that!”
“It would be useless! You never know who I will fight against in the future, so how can I use it now?
“A-A waste? Do you value the Pendant more than your own life? My head hurts from talking to you. Ugh!”
Murakan held his head with his hands and fell down. The confused Gilly quickly ran over and caught him.
"Are you okay, Mr Murakan?"
“Hey, are you okay? Don't faint for something like this.”
"…anything. Fuck, what's done is done. It's a waste of time for me to be angry now. It just makes my head too hot and makes me faint.”
However, as Gilly supported her, Murakan grinned widely. It was a satisfied smile so Jin wondered if she was really mad at him, or if he was just acting to get a skinship with Gilly.
(PR/N: MAH MAN WITH MOOOOOOOVESSSSS!)
“Hm, by the way, Murakan. How do you know I woke up the sword? ”
“Your spiritual energy suddenly surged to the middle stage of 4-star, so how could I not know? You damned child. Do you think a contractor who was promised for a thousand years could rise in rank after such a simple week-long walk?”
“I did feel stronger than before after experiencing a bottleneck of spiritual energy, but I didn't know it as a whole.”
Jin could only shout in excitement inside. In fact, he was secretly worried because his spiritual energy had suddenly increased, but seeing Murakan's reaction, there seemed to be no side effects to worry about.
“Thank you to Solderet for being interested in you. I have seen ten people experience a bottleneck of spiritual energy in my life, and nine out of ten die from it. No, I guess now nine out of eleven.”
“Who else survived? First patriarch?"
“No, it was me. Temar will also die because of it.”
Pfft.
Murakan and Jin chuckled together.
“By the way, I challenge you to try to awaken the sword again. Aren't you glad that you've jumped to 4-star in just an instant? Well, that's a reward for risking your life. So I challenge you to try to awaken the sword again before it reaches 5-star. Because you will definitely die this time.”
“I also don't want to experience that painful experience a second time. By the way, have you finished scolding me? I'll take a shower now.”
Jin darted away and ran to the bathroom.
“Strawberry Pie, don't feed him dinner today. We need to starve him for at least two days to clear his mind. Understand?"
Murakan spoke as he saw Jin rushing away.
“That's.. I'm sorry, Mr. Murakan. I cannot neglect my duty to serve Young Master.”
“Gosh, I'm so envious of her. It drives me crazy. The child was born with such good luck that he was filled with good luck now. ”
