The Young Son Swordmaster
eps 9's
Exclaims.
Every day is so fun.
It has been about 6 months since the meeting with Murakan. Jin was 8 years old and copied a total of 50 secret books.
Today is the day that the Tona twins left Storm Castle.
'Now no one will bother me for the next 2 years.'
Jin thought as he stared out the window, watching the servants packing the twins' luggage on the carriage.
From the day she hit them in the hallway and left them near the bird's grave, the Tona twins never bothered her again. The servants happily referred to the incident as 'Bird Revenge', as they were also not very fond of the twins. Jin wasn't the only one who was harassed by them in the past.
But from that day on, big brother Jin was obedient and would listen to her every word. He could command them around and treat them like servants, which was quite practical.
However, the existence of their nanny 'Emma' is very disturbing. He will directly monitor Jin while pretending to be friendly with him.
'In a few more months, that smart woman will try to follow me when I go 'meditate' in the grave. I can't make him know that I've gone underground, so it's good he's gone now.'
To this day, Jin ruthlessly ignores Emma and cuts her off whenever she tries to approach her. His true intentions were very clear.
Outside, he wants her to hang out with the Tona twins.
But deep down, she hopes Jin falls from grace and is trampled by the twins.
'Emma's disturbing gaze will finally cease to exist. If something like this happens again in the future, I have to take action and handle it.’
To this day, Emma does not flaunt her fangs or stab Jin openly.
Despite that, Jin decides to give Emma a parting gift that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
"Young Master, you should go say goodbye to your brothers now."
“Alright, Gilly. Let's go."
They both descended into the courtyard of Storm Castle.
Under the continuous rain, the knights who came to escort the twins Tona to the main house stood in silence.
One 7-star protective knight, and five 6-star protective knights. They are all part of the main house of Runcandel.
The twins were in the middle, smiling with relief as they would eventually move away from their evil siblings.
"Brother boy."
“Ah, yes, Jin.”
“H-Hei.”
As Jin spoke to them with a wide grin, his brothers became tense.
“Why are you so surprised? I'm just here to take you away.”
"Thank you…"
“Thank you.. Jin!”
“I don't think I'll see you for two more years. That's too bad, isn't it?”
Despite disagreeing with her, the Tona twins angrily nodded their heads.
After patting their shoulders, Jin then turned to Emma.
“Stay safe too, Nanny Emma.”
“Thank you very much, Young Master.”
"Can you bend over for a moment?"
Emma lowers herself to equal the height of Jin's eyes. He then approached her ear and whispered.
'Emma. I hope you act with a little more caution in the main building.'
As soon as her brain processed the meaning behind her words, Emma's face paled into a deadly white hue.
When he realized that this 8-year-old had been fully aware of his hidden actions and intentions, a jolting chill ran down his spine.
His throat was choked, and he could not respond to it. Nevertheless, Emma somehow forces her body to move and bow to Jin, while trying to hide her trembling.
“We have to leave now. Young Master Jin, I will wait impatiently to see your dignified appearance in 2 years!
"Very good."
The knights raised their swords to salute Jin before leaving.
They then boarded a waiting carriage under Murakan Mountain and headed to Runcandel's main house, 'Swar Park'.
Jin will also be heading there in 2 years.
“Cursed boy! Explain yourself already. Explanation I can understand. ”
The underground area of Storm Castle.
Murakan expresses his frustration to Jin as he grabs the basket Jin was carrying. The 8-year-old lightly brushed off his words and moved onto the shelf.
“How... How can this be.. Why is there only one strawberry pie in the basket? Do you look down on Murakan Agung?”
Murakan angry.
“Aduh. Be thankful you have at least one cake. I have to save a part of my part.”
"Do you really believe a dragon will feel full from one very little pie ?!"
'Well, I don't believe dragons can become upset over strawberry pie .. but now I do.'
'Strawberry pie' was the first gourmet food Murakan ate in a thousand years.
It was also the only food that could satiate his stomach, tongue, and mind in this basement since he was still 'stuck here'.
“Don't you feel full even without food thanks to my spiritual energy? Enough of your bullshit.”
“You .. you heartless brat! Didn't you know that dragons are very picky food? And not only can I not leave this stuffy place because of your circumstances, now you will not give me an extra strawberry pie?”
Murakan has never left the basement since his resurrection.
It was all for Jin. He needs to hide his relationship with Murakan until he is strong enough, and Murakan also believes that it is the right choice.
The basement is only accessible to 'flag bearers'.
If the clan finds out that Jin has sneaked here to copy the secret books, the, Cyron would most likely have asked Murakan to take responsibility as well—even if he was the clan guardian god who had awakened from a thousand year's sleep.
In other words, Jin and Murakan are accomplices of the same evil.
"Ha! You and your gourmet tongue! You're the one who said you didn't like the food I brought besides the pie. Do you think it is very easy to transport strawberries to this Storm Castle?”
Jin also wanted to give some of his thoughts on this topic.
What's more, this gourmet black dragon said that all the other food at Storm Castle was .. trash, and only asked for Gilly strawberry pie.
"Damn it... Is this an era where people can't even eat strawberry pie properly?"
“There are only 2 years left of this 'era' you talked about, so finish eating it. Let's start training. ”
“This also seems to be an era where rough kids toyed with the powerful black dragon.”
Chew.
In the end, Murakan gave up. It wasn't that the non-existent strawberry pie would just appear just like that just because she was angry at the child.
“Lezat... Shit, this is so delicious. Did you say your nanny cooked it? You should definitely introduce me to him when I get out of here. ”
"Yes, yes, you've said that dozens of times."
Jin replied while shaking his head in despair.
For the past 6 months, Jin's vision of a dragon has been completely destroyed by the slovenly person in front of him.
The legendary dragon he imagined during his days as a magician…
But the dragon in front of him was childish, extremely strange, and slovenly. He would always lie down, scratching his groin as he complained about something.
Scratch, scratch.
After devouring the strawberry pie in an instant, Murakan once again scratched.
'The only thing that my imagination is right is .. how powerful is the dragon, maybe ...?'
From the day after their first meeting, Murakan began teaching Jin how to manipulate spiritual power along with some kind of martial art.
Although he had never fought it head-on, Jin could feel how powerful Murakan was through his teachings and guidance.
However, most of Murakan's current strength was sealed because Jin's 'spiritual energy' was still too weak. Spiritual energy is a need for the strength and survival of the Murakan, such as how the sun is needed for plants, and how aquatic life forms need the sea to survive.
In other words, Jin is like the sun to Murakan. An irreplaceable existence.
However, it was the sun that needed to grow stronger. In order for Murakan's full strength to return, Jin must grow older and become stronger.
"Do that transcription for 30 minutes, then come down the hall."
"Good."
After completing the transcription, Jin went and entered the hallway to face Murakan.
"What are you copying today?"
“Switchbook Clan Attila.”
"Oh! Attila. Their swordsmanship is pretty good. Reminds me how I drowned my teeth into their patriarch and killed him about 1500 years ago. Do you understand some of it? ”
“About 30% of its content. I don't get the rest.”
“Do not despair. It's still amazing that you understand 30% of it at your age.
Having comprehended about 30% of the Attila Clan secret books at the age of 8 was an incredible feat.
However, Jin craved more. 'That 'great achievement' is by Runcandel's standards. But with this being his second life, Jin wants to achieve more than that.
If he could not exceed the standard of a normal genius, he would once again not be able to defeat his 12 genius brothers.
“How much of this book will the first patriarch understand at my age?”
“Kuhahaha. Right, right. You did say that you chose the sword of Temar during the Ritual of Selection. Is that why you keep comparing yourself to him? ”
“No, it's because I've heard people endlessly say that the first patriarch is the 'strongest man in history'. So much so that the expression is engraved in my mind now. That's why I compare myself to him.”
“The strongest man in history, you said. Tamar is really strong. Even your father, who is called a True Holy Knight, is probably one level weaker than Temar.”
It was a realm of power that even Jin could not imagine.
Despite Jin's rapid growth speed during the last 3 years of his life after making a contract with Solderet, he still had a long way to go to reach the realm of True Sacred Knights. Even if he becomes the 'unrivalled magic swordsman' as Solderet said, Jin is still unsure if he can defeat his father.
“Hm, sure. Good. I guess it would be better to make it clear. ”
"Explain what?"
“Difference between you and Temar.”
Jin nodded as he focused on Murakan's next words.
“At the age of 8, Temar will not be able to understand a single sentence in the book.”
A short pause followed, before Murakan continued speaking.
“But one's talent cannot always be measured by his knowledge and understanding of swordsmanship. From what I see, you are quite talented. In fact, you are like a genius born once every hundred years.
"Hm, that's kind of disappointing."
“I'm sure your True Holy Knight father is much more talented than you.”
“Then, will I never be able to defeat my father because of our talent difference?”
To defeat his father.
It was the biggest and ambitious goal of the reborn Jin. If he cannot win against Cyron, Jin will have no choice but to live while trying not to stand out anymore, so that he does not incur the wrath of Runcandels.
A sad death in his first life.
Three 9-star knights who had attacked Akin Kingdom. Jin's hypothesis is that Cyron secretly sent all three, though he very much hoped it was wrong.
“Indeed, you won't win against your father if it's pure swordsmanship.”
"If it's purely about swordsmanship?"
“That's right, you brat. Don't think that the world just revolves around swordsmanship. You also have the spiritual power and magic that you want. ”
"Fairly true."
“If you master magic and spiritual power to the extreme, it is possible that you can become stronger than Temar, let alone your father. So don't be patient.”
“I can't wait. I just want to know my limits.”
"Ha! You still think of your 'limits' even after gaining Solderet's spiritual power? Maybe because you are a child. You are too unconscious. The epithet of Soldert among the gods is... 'The Infinite'."
"Unlimited?"
“It's true, unlimited. The potential you have is far greater than anyone else in this world. It's not unlimited. Infinite. That's why, just focus on growing up for now. You have to leave this stifling place and explore the world to experience life.”
"Then, what is the training about today?"
“Releasing your spiritual energy. You can always learn the basics of martial arts later. So from today onwards, until the day you leave the Storm Castle, you will only practice your spiritual power
