Hunter Academy’s Battle God Chapter 231

Maretimo Island, Trapani Province.

Aden sliced ​​a steak at a restaurant with a view of the emerald ocean.

“I’m sorry for calling you at such a busy time. still… … “I really wanted to have dinner with you today.”

Adela just kept her eyes on the table and looked at the orange sheet cake in silence.

To Aden and to Adela.

Today was an unforgettable day.

This day, which comes every year, was the day when the witch Louise froze Volterra.

Aden’s children and daughter-in-law.

Adela’s parents.

It was also the day I left helpless.

“… … Adela.”

Aden put down the knife and fork and spoke to Adela in a serious voice.

“I’m sorry.”

A long silence with no answer.

Even though Aden put down his utensils, Adella used a teaspoon to piece the sheet cake in front of her and ate a very small amount.

Soft sheets.

Subtle orange scent.

The sweetness of white chocolate.

This was definitely a taste that Velvet would like if she ate it. After all these matches are over. When I’m done with everything in Italy, I have to buy this cake and take it back to Velvet.

Adela calmly spoke to Arden, leaving exactly that sentiment in her heart.

“… … “You don’t need to apologize.”

Grinning-

“Don’t you blame me?”

Aden’s eyes were smiling, but his mouth was not. To Adela before, she must have had an awkward smile. It was hard to tell whether this was a laugh of joy or a laugh of sadness.

But Adela was different now.

I could feel in my heart why Aden was smiling at me like that.

“… … “What do you mean I’m blaming you?”

Adela’s calm question.

But Aden smiled sheepishly, looking like he found it difficult to answer. He was Yu Won-hak’s colleague and one of the strongest hunters, but he still had a difficult time with his granddaughter.

Is it because of that?

Aden first revealed his true feelings in front of Adela.

“Aren’t there many reasons? For not informing you of the existence of the statue… … .”

“that… … .”

Adela, who was listening to the story, interrupted Aden. Adela was staring at her plate with blank eyes as she sliced ​​her cake for no apparent reason with a sharp, thin teaspoon.

“For me… … Maybe I’ll be sad? “Isn’t that what you did?”

Aden’s face opened with a blank expression. Arden seemed quite surprised by Adela’s story. Her granddaughter, who couldn’t even express her feelings, understood her. But Aden looked even more bitter after that.

“Exactly… … “Because there was something more frightening to me.”

There was something scarier to Aden than Adela’s sadness. What was scarier for Aden than seeing her precious granddaughter shed tears was that Adela didn’t shed any tears when she saw the ice statue of her parents.

Same as usual.

Aden was even more afraid that Adela would pass by the ice statue with such a cold face.

“… … Adela. The moment I first saw you. I had a hunch. Lewis’s winter, that terrible memory… … “Your heart is broken.”

Adela too.

It was my first time having such an honest conversation with Aden. Whenever Aden saw Adella, she always smiled with that expression on her face. But it was only now that she learned that that smile was meant to hide sad feelings.

Sigh-

Aden’s thick hand wrapped Adela’s hand.

“… … Don’t forgive me, Adela. “I am a coward.”

Adela asked calmly, looking at Aden smiling with a sad expression.

“what… … “Were you afraid?”

“haha… … . Even though Lewis’ winter was defeated after a long struggle… … . Because all I have left is you, Adela. so… … .”

Aden took a deep breath and forced a smile.

“I couldn’t bear to admit that I couldn’t even protect you.”

After finishing speaking, Aden took off his wrapped hand. Arden waited for a while for Adela to open her mouth and see what she would say. Adela quietly looked at her cake.

For Aden, 10 seconds is longer than eternity.

Instead of answering, Adela mentioned an odd name.

“… … Do you know Velvet?”

“I heard it. that… … .”

“The first time we met was Al. “What I did was embrace that child.”

Adela slowly remembered the moment Shin Yu-seong came to see her.

“Bringing chills. If you hug a hot egg. “It was very interesting to see it move little by little.”

Adela’s words gradually became faster and she looked somewhat happy.

“Because of that, the day I cracked the egg and Velvet was born was a little… … “I even felt regret.”

“Is it because you thought you had done your part?”

Adela nodded and smiled without realizing it.

“but… … . Velvet remembers my embrace, and she remembers receiving my mana… … “They told me I was family.”

Feeling precious towards someone.

I feel attached. You found a void in her family. If Adela wasn’t in front of her, Aden would have cried right now.

“I see. Adela… … . “I must have been really happy.”

Nod.

Adella nodded like an ordinary girl to Arden’s words and continued speaking with a happy face.

“Velvet is a really smart kid. Nice, cute, pretty… … . And she had really soft cheeks.”

Adella touched the air as if she was missing Velvet’s cheek. But Adela’s outrageous actions, knowing only her daughter, were just beginning.

“The hair is also shiny and silky. If you stroke it like this… … “It has a very pleasant scent.”

Adela, thinking of Velvet, looked really happy. She wondered if Adela had her late sister, she must have looked like this.

“… … And although he looks young. I can tell. “What a warm heart that child has.”

Adella called the dragon Velvet her child. Velvet is the one who cured Adela’s mental illness that even Aden could not cure.

“Oh, maybe… … Of course. Velvet is with that person Shin Yoo-seong… … “They look very similar.”

A very familiar name.

As expected, choosing Shin Yu-seong as Ruin-seong’s partner was a godsend for Aden.

‘Yuseong… … . I will never forget your help.’

Arden held back tears of emotion and smiled genuinely happy.

“What is so similar?”

“The day I went to Ruin Castle. The person hugged me. “It’s also Velvet’s habit to hug her every now and then.”

If it had been Kim Seok-han, he would have come to Shin Yu-seong right away and made a fuss, but Aden was instead smiling happily.

“Are there any other similarities?”

“It made my heart race so much when I was hugging Velvet and him.”

Adella’s heart flutters at Shin Yu-seong. She felt warm comfort from Velvet. This is proof that Adela can feel her emotions even if it is not a battle.

“Maybe, no, definitely more than a life-threatening battle… … .”

Aden nodded at Adela’s confident answer.

Now, Shin Yusung’s significance to Aden was not limited to being a student of Yuwonhak or a promising hunter.

To Aden, Shin Yuseong is literally the only being who can heal Adella. She wanted to somehow keep Adela close by her side.

“Adella. you… … . Do you want to be by Yooseong and Velvet’s side?”

To Aden’s question, Adela nodded and answered immediately without even a moment’s hesitation.

“I’m going to fight that guy with all my might, and when this fight is over…” … . “I plan to return to Gaon.”

Adela closed her eyes and thought of Shin Yusung. The warm embrace that embraced her in Lu Inseong. And her soft velvet cheeks and flowing hair.

“That’s where I belong.”

Aden asked with a very serious expression in response to Adela’s answer, which now seemed to show strong confidence.

“Are you saying you want to stay by my side forever?”

Nod instead of opening your mouth.

Adela moves her head. Aden narrowed his eyebrows with an unusual expression that was typical of his active duty days.

‘… … Even for our Adela. Yoosung can never be taken away from you. There are no two mistakes for me.’

As Aden gathered his courage, I could even feel the determination to risk his life.

Now, Arden was not an 8th level hunter but a grandfather to a granddaughter, and he planned to support Adela with all the means he could.

The rooftop of a high-rise building filled with only darkness. Holding the sheath of his sword, Ryujin looked into the pitch-black space and opened his mouth.

“… … “If it’s a story that doesn’t look like poetry, I’ll cut it down.”

At Ryujin’s provocation, fluorescent light erupted from the pitch-black space and left a message.

[lol]

Pot-

“I don’t want to talk to you either. You are so boring. There’s no point in making fun of me. “There’s no need to be this serious, right?”

It was Cheat who appeared behind Ryujin with flashing blinks. By hunters’ standards, its combat power was close to zero, so it was shattered by Shin Yuseong’s blow. Cheat was a villain whose information power through hacking was unrivaled.

“I am. On behalf of the captain, I have come to rescue you and your poor brother. “I’m not the type of person who deserves to be treated like this~”

Pot-

The cheat who appeared in front of Ryujin took off his trademark helmet and smiled, revealing shark-like teeth.

“… … Listen carefully~”

Unlike before, when he spoke quickly and in a bright and clear voice, the cheat’s voice became quite sluggish after taking off his helmet.

“That greedy guy. In a few years… … Should I let you go? That person says… … What about swordsmanship? What is it? … “Do you know exactly?”

The cheat took off his helmet, yawned like a hippopotamus, and then laughed.

“You’re getting stronger… … Will that person be satisfied? “Do you really want to give me an artifact that will heal your cute little brother?”

Each and every one of Cheat’s words struck Ryujin straight to the point.

“You know, right? Geomshin~ is your younger brother, holding your reins. Until you satisfy your greed… … Also, I have no intention of letting go of the reins. huh?”

“Fit,” Cheat laughed weakly.

Ryujin clicked his tongue, but was thinking calmly as it involved his younger brother.

“I saw you sitting still. I guess I knew roughly. like that… … “Do you think your head is a flower garden?”

Cheat must have liked that, he smiled and handed the stack of documents to Ryujin.

“think carefully. Even if things work out well and the greed of the swordsman is fulfilled… … How old will your younger brother be at that time? huh?”

Ryujin couldn’t refute anything about Cheat’s story. Cheat, who had gained momentum, spun around and stood behind Ryujin, tapping his head like a crazy person and muttering.

“How many years have we spent that important and precious time… … Are you going to make me spend my time in the hospital? About a sick person. Huh~? Dirty and disgusting guys… … .”

Cheat, who returned to Ryujin’s front, stuck out his tongue and pretended to slit his throat with his index finger.

“We don’t do that either. I’d rather kill him all at once. If you’re going to leave me like this, I’d rather kill you~”

Sreung.

“… … “Watch your mouth.”

Unable to bear it anymore, Ryujin takes out the sword from its sheath. The cheat said it was a joke and raised both her hands.

“Boss and you are the same victims. Let’s not do this to people in the same situation~”

And then, giggling, the cheat disappears along with Blink’s light.

‘… … Liu Ming.’

Ryujin, who received the stack of documents, bit his teeth hard enough to make a crackling sound.
