The Hero Disciple Is Back

EP.28 – 27. A junior came to the teacher

The emotion of ‘love’ causes the emotion of ‘expectation’ in a chain. That’s why everyone who loves has expectations. It is for this reason that we have expectations from our parents, our lovers, and our children. Especially against a baby who is babbling, ‘Look! Because I just said it! He said ‘Dad’!’ Therefore, a person who is in love should not forget that he must always be vigilant not to be swept away by the emotion of expectation, which is caused serially by the emotion of love.

No matter how much there was pure heart without malice, if the other person feels it as malice, it becomes malice. Above all, misunderstandings and misunderstandings always end up being ugly, so you need to pay attention to your face.

Anyway, you have to be careful.

Yes, it is true that you need to be careful… .

“Are you listening to me?”

shake!

“Shooked! I shook it!”

The dragon egg was responding to my words. It was so subtle that at first I thought it was an illusion. As parents of newborn babies often do, hear babbling and say, ‘Look! I thought it might be similar to saying ‘I said daddy!’. However, the dragon egg was clearly moving in line with my words. This is incomparable to being mistaken for babbling. Objectively, the difference was obvious. Therefore, this dragon egg… !

“Are you a genius?! You haven’t even come out yet, but you can already understand what I’m saying!”

I honestly couldn’t help but think that way.

(Since dragon eggs are perfect beings, they have their own self even in their dragon egg state, and they have a high level of thinking ability that is incomparable to that of human infants, so this level of work was naturally possible, but unfortunately, there are people who have such knowledge in this world. Since there was only Sera, it was natural for Jade to misunderstand!)

shake! shake!

“ha ha ha! you are so amazing! ha ha ha!”

“… … .”

“ha ha ha… .”

“… … .”

My face, which had been smiling brightly, had to become awkward.

When I turned my head, there was a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.

A junior who once taught me this and that

The man who is now even called the mercenary king

Mercenary King Balik

The acquaintance who thought it would take quite a while to meet because of that enormous stubbornness came to meet him unexpectedly, and came to his hideout at a completely unexpected timing… . I had expected that no one would see me, but unexpectedly, there was a witness.

As for the results… .

I want to die… .

♧♧♧

The mercenary king, Balik, was a man with his own philosophy that a man should be obstinate. That is why he was a man who did not give up on what he had decided once, no matter what others said. But even with that kind of person, he knew at least that stubbornness and obstinacy were different.

Stubbornness is pushing to the end to make a choice that you will not regret even if you die, and oblivion is knowing that you will regret it after you die, but foolishly not letting it go until the end.

Although he has a bad head, he can’t draw clear lines and distinguish them clearly… . Still, as good as he was, he was a man who could realize that if what he was doing was nothing more than a mess.

That’s why, when I was half beaten by Sarah, right before I knew Sarah’s identity, ‘Ah. Could this really die?’ When that thought came to mind… . he realized That he didn’t go to see Jade wasn’t stubbornness, it was insanity. If he was stubborn, he would have kept it until the end, but if he was stubborn, the story would be different. That’s why he threw away his obsession, and that’s why he went to see Jade.

‘… I’m glad I got permission and came here.’

After contacting Sera in advance and getting permission, I felt really fortunate. Looking at all the traps and magic installed in the mountain, it was because it boasted a level of danger comparable to that of the dungeons of ancient civilizations. The level was so great that even the mercenary king Balik, who was second to none of the transcendentalists who had reached the level of a superman, was nervous.

If I had to force myself to come here without even contacting Sera, saying that I would do a surprise… . Just imagining it was scary. Above all, if he had done such a high level of work, he would have done basic signal magic. In other words, there would have been a 100% chance of encountering Sera after passing through these traps. And the Sera he had been through was a crazy guy who would listen to a conversation after killing half an intruder, whether it was a surprise or whatever. … No, I might kill you without even listening to the conversation. That crazy bitch could do that.

In any case, Balik had told them beforehand, so such a tragedy did not happen. His brilliant eyesight had saved his life again.

‘… How did my life become like a candle in front of a typhoon?’

It’s not that I don’t know why.

It’s all because of that crazy bitch… .

‘A guy like that is a hero… .’

Mercenary King Balik recognized Sera as a warrior. No, I had to admit it. If you have that level of strength, you’re either a hero or a demon king… . It won’t be the Demon King, so it’s a dragon… .

No, why did you think he wasn’t the Demon King? Isn’t that level of strength and madness just the devil?

… Of course, this is a joke.

… It was half a joke.

As a mercenary king, he resolved all kinds of high-risk quests, including those related to demons. Since he was a demon, he possessed ‘magic’, and the best expert in tracking that demon was Balik himself, the mercenary king. That’s why he could tell at a glance, and if he shared the sword, he couldn’t help but know more clearly. When he saw it, Sera’s body never flowed with demonic energy.

Margie can’t hide it because she wants to hide it. Just as it is natural for humans to have red blood flowing, it is natural for demons to have demonic energy flowing. Just as humans cannot change red blood into other colors, it is also impossible for demons to change their own life energy itself, demonic energy.

After remembering all those obvious common sense… . Balik was able to truly think of Sera as a warrior, not a demon lord. It is such a difficult thing to get away from conspiracy theories. It’s not easy for him to get caught up in a conspiracy theory he thought of and struggle to get out of it, so it could be seen as a part of knowing what kind of image Sera is in Balik, the mercenary king. At least, it was clear that it was far from the hero and close to the demon king.

‘Anyway, can I finally see Jade’s face?’

Sarah had already told her that Jade was not in a normal state. When he heard the story, Valik was not surprised. He gave his Aura Heart to his disciple, hoping that he would not die. There was no way such an absurd thing would happen, but if Jade had done it, it was something I could nod my head at.

If the world allowed him to live in ordinary happiness in an ordinary family, Jade would certainly have a reputation as a great nobleman or knight and make a name for himself as a hero. However, the world plunged him into a living hell, and in the end, he lived as a mercenary and left the world behind and lived a quiet life alone. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the world took away from humans a nobleman with a large bowl called Jade.

His disciple is a warrior.

Wasn’t everything torturing Jade so much in the world for that?

That thought came to him for a moment, but Valik shook his head and dismissed it completely. It was because I thought that thinking like that was too cruel for Jade, who had lived through that living hell. So you shouldn’t think such a thing, and it shouldn’t even be true. That can’t be true. Valik decided to organize it that way.

‘There’s nothing good for a bad-headed guy to think a lot.’

But there was no better way to pass the time than thinking a lot.

Thanks to you, I was able to pass the time quickly

‘Finally seen.’

They had finally reached Jade’s hiding place.

With his excellent eyesight, he found Jade at once.

Where did the ashy gray hair go? The white hair that had lost all its color was there. At a glance, it was clear that the loss of the Aura Heart was the aftereffect of the body’s balance being disrupted. But fortunately, judging from the aura I felt from him, I didn’t have to worry about Jade’s health.

I heard that ‘Nature’s Mana’, which replaces the Aura Heart, corrected the balance problem… . To be honest, he couldn’t understand it no matter how hard he listened to the explanation. That’s why I wanted to see with my own two eyes to see if Jade was all right.

‘But what are you doing?’

No matter how much he lost his sense of mastery due to the loss of his Aura Heart, it was strange that he didn’t seem to feel his own presence, so he soon found out that Jade was showing great concentration on something.

Then I had to see him hugging something big and almost cheering. It was a familiar sight to the mercenary king Valik.

A mercenary I used to be close with retired and was doing business and taking care of his children, but he would often hug his children tightly with his thick arms and say, ‘This guy is a genius!’ That was his daily routine, and I had seen it many times.

It’s like that.

Now, the man she truly admired was doing the same thing.

“ha ha ha! you are so amazing! ha ha ha!”

“… … .”

“ha ha ha… .”

“… … .”

An awkward, heavy silence came.

It was like a man who showed what he shouldn’t have seen and a man who saw what he shouldn’t have seen.

I’ve said it many times

The mercenary king, Balik, had a bad brain, but he had good eyesight.

Yes! He has a good eye!

Good eyesight… !

“… thing. It’s good to see you healthy, Jade hyung.”

But!

Because his brain was bad, there was no way he could have come up with a trick to solve this awkward atmosphere!

“… … .”

“… … .”

The awkward atmosphere became more awkward to the point where the cold wind from the north blew.
