The Young Son Swordmaster
eps 35's
The twins' mission is to attend a ceremony.
They were ordered to attend some events and parties organized by the Vermont emperor and the imperial duke to curry favor with them.
In fact, calling this invitation to the party a 'mission' was a shame. There was absolutely no risk of them seeing blood or conflict during this mission. All they had to do was eat delicious dishes prepared at parties and have fun in the empire.
“Ugh!”
“Events?! In the Vermont Empire back then..”.
However, the faces of the Tona twins wrinkled as soon as they heard the details of their mission.
'Residing the ceremony' was a type of mission that was only assigned to direct members of the Runcandel bloodline.
Clans can ignore invitations and the like from your average country, but imperial invitations are a different story. Runcandels couldn't resist them so easily.
Thus, one of the children of Runcandel had to accept the invitation and attend the event.
So whenever there was an invitation from the Vermont Kingdom, the children of Runcandel prayed not to be chosen.
None of them wanted to attend that sickening and boring party.
“Congratulations to me, kids. Thanks to your sacrifice, your brother need not go to the empire and dance aimlessly.”
“Haaaa..”.
“What is it ******** I heard? Although this was an invitation to the party, this was a bona fide mission. If you show this attitude again, I'll beat you both so badly that you'll beg me to kill you.
The Tona twins nodded while hiding their disgusted expressions.
This mission was more or less a 'punishment' to them. Their older sister punished them, as they failed to step on their youngest sister even after borrowing a 5-star cadet from their faction.
Attending a party is boring for the twins, as they do not have the least amount of speech skills and have not learned the fine art of surviving in social situations.
'Geez, Eldest Brother Myu and Anne are very evil.'
Jin laughed to himself.
“It was a mission that one had to complete. And when you arrive at the location, you will see dozens of powerful people, whether it be in their combat prowess or their authority and influence. Make sure you watch it carefully. ”
"Understand, Uncle ..."
“And you, Jin.”
“Ya, Uncle.”
"The mission assigned to you is ..."
Zed stopped in the middle of the sentence. The Tona twins watched the next words.
They were curious to know how crazy the mission their sister had given their youngest sister.
Hopefully, it is something that will destroy Jin physically and mentally. In fact, the best-case scenario is that Jin won't be returning at all from the mission.
“Killing task. Your target is Master of the Hidden Palace Talaris. Hm... Basically you have to kill a loafer.”
The Hidden Palace Master.
That was the title given to the owner of the 'Hidden Palace', a large tower standing in the middle of the western sea. The 51st Master is Talaris, nicknamed the 'Spider of Hell'.
The Hidden Palace was an independent force that was not influenced by the Runcandels nor the Zipfels.
"Uncle, with 'toys', you mean ..."
“Abyssal Spider Toys? That's the woman's lover.”
The target of Jin's murder is his master's toy.
In other words, his girlfriend. Jin had to kill one of the countless youths who was playing around with Talaris.
“Oh, snap.”
The Tona twins unintentionally let out words of shock.
They did not believe that Jin would be able to kill the lover of the Hidden Palace Master and return alive.
Talaris fame is known all over the world, even to the village that lives in some corner of the Mitel Kingdom. She is especially known for being merciless to people who touch her lover.
"Your target is currently in the lawless zone of Mamit under the protection of the members of the Hidden Palace."
“Mamit?!”
“Holy smoke!”
The twins cried out loudly once again.
Missions in the Lawless Zone of Mamites were generally assigned to the protective knights. It was not a mission that a middle-class cadet like Jin should have done.
Killing the lover of the Hidden Palace Master in Mamit.
You can easily summarize the mission with that sentence. The Tona twins already believe that Jin will never come back alive from this mission.
“There is one question I want to ask, Uncle.”
"What's that?"
"Who's our client?"
As Jin asked in a confident tone, Zed's lips lifted into a soft grin.
'This boy ... He should have known who the Hidden Palace Master was and where the Mamites were, but he would soon receive the mission? If he claims the mission is irrational, I would be willing to say a word to the flag bearers themselves.'
Zed somewhat hopes Jin will be surprised and irritated.
Recently, the elder's greatest pleasure was watching his youngest nephew grow. Even the unsympathetic Zed did not appreciate sending a sword that had yet to be fully forged in a dangerous mission like this where the sword would definitely be destroyed.
However, Jin did not show the slightest shock or annoyance.
Since the cadet in question was planning to accept the mission, Zed had no reason to intervene.
“Klan Tzendler's. Your target — the shoe — is called Alkaro Tzendler, aib klan.”
“I see now. They were worried that the child who left the clan would divulge the clan secrets to the Hidden Palace Master.”
"Exactly. It seems that the Tzendler Clan tried to solve this problem on their own, but gave up and instead came to us. Looks like the child in question did not have a good reputation from the beginning..Hm, can you do it?”.
Zed asked expectantly.
He desperately hoped the words 'this mission should have been assigned to the guard knights' would come out of Jin's mouth.
"I'll do it."
“Why are you so .. No, it's okay. Haaa, good to be decisive. ”
Zed coughed awkwardly before handing the documents to his nephew.
“You will all leave in two days. You are exempt from the afternoon training session until then. In the meantime, be sure to practice on your own, but only to the extent that it does not hinder your mission.”
“Ya, Uncle.”
Zed exited the hidden training room first.
The Tona twins stood around Jin awkwardly for a while.
While they were elated by the fact that their brother was about to die, they were also dissatisfied with it, as if there was a bitter taste in their mouths. The twins do not know that they have a strong bond of love and hatred with their younger brother.
"What?"
"Yes. It's not like you're going to die, is it? If something goes wrong, just say that you are a Runcandel! Then no one can touch you.”
“Haha, jeez. Are you worried about me? I didn't know you two had such an adorable side to you.”
“K-We are not worried! We're-"
“Before I return..”
Jin interrupted Daytona and unsheathed Bradamante, covering him with an aura. The twins froze when their brother suddenly pulled out his gun.
Holy hooch!
Before they could even ask what he was doing, Jin swung his sword, pointing it at the Clear Stone sitting behind them.
Claaang—!
A beautiful metallic sound echoed, bouncing off the arched ceiling and echoing in the room.
Jin smiled with satisfaction.
He suddenly felt like he would definitely succeed if he hit Clear Stone now, and that feeling turned into reality within a few moments.
A month had passed since they started training with Clear Stones.
Jin had no idea how unimaginable this record was.
“You two must make a choice, brothers. Do you prefer our older sister .. or me. ”
The Tona twins gulped before nodding awkwardly.
Jin then walked out of the room, leaving the two of them in silence.
"…What do we do?"
"I don't know. The brothers are crazy, while our younger brothers are not sane. Seriously ... But I think the youngest is scarier than the Eldest Brother ... "
"I agree."
The twins breathed a disappointed breath.
After walking out, Jin did not care about his mission. Rather than a dangerous task, his mind was much more interested in other topics.
"What was that sensation before?"
The steel marble that flew out from the Clear Stone Haytona had exploded.
After being exposed to it, Jin suddenly imagined the detailed trajectory of the marble in his mind for no reason. It also felt that if another marble came from the same direction, he would be able to avoid it.
'I have to ask Elder Sister Luna about this after I return from my mission. This sensation may be related to the training I did with him.’
Two days passed in an instant.
Those who had been assigned missions had completed their preparations yesterday. All that was left to do was to go to the Huphester Transfer Gate and teleport to their respective destinations.
“Fiuh... Young Master.”
Before he boarded the steel carriage, the members of the Youngest Division called out to him.
They all wore grim expressions, as if they were herds of cows being taken to the slaughterhouse. No one could guess how many of them would die in their upcoming mission.
However, that was not the only reason they were sad.
"We heard you're going to the Zone Without the Law of Mamit."
"Indeed. I had to go to the transfer gate separately as I was assigned with the assassination mission. I also had to go through all the administrative procedures properly. It sucks."
“...We came to say goodbye to you before leaving.”
The reason why the Youngest Division had come to salute him was quite clear.
This could be the last time they see the young master. Not only was it likely that some of them would die during their mission in an unprotected area, Young Master Jin himself was assigned with a mission where he had an 80% chance of dying.
Other than Jin, everyone in the middle class thought he was headed for his death.
"No need to. Why, do you think we'll never meet again?”
Jin said in a playful tone, which made Mesa sigh deeply. Other cadets could not even raise their heads properly to face the young master.
“Well, it is true that life does not always go as expected. Some of us may die in our mission if we are unlucky.”
“We'll be fine. But the mission assigned to you is..”.
“Gosh, no need to worry about me, bad boys. Just focus on your own mission, okay?”
"Yes…"
“Go, then. We'll see each other when we get back. ”
The Youngest Division hesitantly stood around before descending the corridor.
“Those kids are so charming. Keep them safe, Murakan.”
“Meong~”
"I've already said this, but make sure you're invisible, okay?"
“Meow~”
The black cat raised his front leg and waved it, as if he was saying 'more worry about yourself, son'.
“I'll be lonely for a while since you two left, Young Master, Mr. Murakan.”
“Consider it as a break, Gilly. Would you like some souvenirs from Mamit? ”
“I know that you are stronger than the middle class cadets, Young Master, but please be careful. Mamiths are a dangerous place. To think that you should kill the lover of the Hidden Palace Master. Please take good care of yourself.”.
"Yes. I'll see you soon!”
Jin did not ride a steel carriage, but rather rode a horse. She had already dyed her hair brown yesterday and was currently dressed like an ordinary traveler.
The boy had Bradamante with him, but he had covered his blade with a layer of metal to hide his normal color. With such a disguise, no one would think of him as Runcandel.
This is his second mission, but his first solo mission.
As Gilly said, Jin is currently a force to be reckoned with if you take all his abilities into account. Even so, the mission was dangerous where he could lose his life.
Nevertheless, Jin was not afraid. In fact, he was very excited about how he could use spiritual power and magic as much as possible.
"I've always wanted to visit Mamit since my past life."
Prior to his setback, magic teacher Jin had mentioned that Mamit was more of a 'romantic city' than he had expected.
After spending two years in Mamit, his master would tell wonderful stories about the city. Inside those stories were countless details about the city and its inhabitants.
'I remember Master saying that the pub in the city center was a location where informants and spies often went. And if I want to buy high-end information, I have to go to the underground black market.
Thinking that his master's boring story would be useful like this. Of course, there are time period differences, so some information may not be accurate for the time being. But the system and order within the city is unlikely to change.
With gratitude to his master in his heart, Jin pulled the reins of the horse and began his journey.
A refreshing sense of freedom flowed through him as he left the Garden of Swords alone.
