I Became the Youngest Disciple of the Martial God Chapter 231

Episode 231

Anyway, they arrested the two men who turned out to be church members and put them in a corner.

Berita used her divine power to heal two seriously injured men, and I was shocked twice when I saw that scene.

Once, when treating a subject he had half-killed, he had the audacity to put on a gentle expression that reminded one of a saint.

Twice, because this woman, who is clearly a member of the church, can demonstrate that much divine power.

Of course, the second reason why you might be surprised is because I was the only one among them who knew that.

Most of the heroes were looking at Verita with tired eyes as they hurt and healed her.

Anyway, after finishing the treatment, Berita smiled and even left a good word.

“ruler! The treatment has been completed, but in Sir Peron’s case, we recommend that you visit School 72 again in the future. Because the eye is a complex organ. You may lose your vision, but that will also be a trial from God, so please do not be discouraged.”

“… under.”

The corners of Peron’s mouth twisted coldly.

The bandaged eye, with only one side exposed, glares at Verita.

Resentment and hatred flooded through his sharp single eye like waves in the middle of the night, but that gloomy expression certainly did not look like a knight.

Of course, Verita, who has a strong tendency to choose her own pace, did not seem to care at all.

“Hey, nun.”

The scholar approached Verita.

“yes. “Please tell me, Anna.”

“What are you going to do if those two aren’t church members?”

Verita tilted her head and responded.

“You’re saying something strange. “You two have already confessed, right?”

“Confessions resulting from threats are ineffective. “It’s a fairly widely known imperial law, but you didn’t know about it?”

“I’m sorry, but imperial law is not written in the scriptures. “It means that it is not the word of God.”

“… under.”

The scholar sneered.

I thought that it was an ability to use a speech style that made enemies without uttering a single swear word.

Just a few dozen minutes ago, everyone here was looking at Verita with trust and faith… … .

Not now.

Distrust, fear, hatred, resentment.

Only slimy, murky, and extremely negative emotions were directed at Verita.

“… “That woman looks dangerous.”

The chain scythe that approached me implicitly also said the same thing to me.

By the way, why was this guy acting like we were friends earlier?

Regardless of those questions, I agree with the opinion that it is dangerous, but… Still, there’s still something left to do.

I approached the two church members who were half-tired and asked.

“Are you two really church members?”

It was an old man who answered me.

“I see.”

“… okay?”

I looked into the old man’s eyes for a moment.

Looking at his stubbornly closed lips and strong eyes, I could tell that he had quite a strong personality.

Regardless of whether this person is a member of the church or not, I don’t think I’ll be able to get the answer I want easily.

To put it a little harshly, I don’t think I will easily open my mouth even if torture is used here.

On the other hand, the knight a little distance away was still glaring at Verita with a grinning expression on his face… … .

I don’t want to be biased by this, but should it be called a ‘free’ article?

They seemed less disciplined than the imperial knights.

In other words, if you’re scratching it, this is the guy.

I immediately headed to where the knight was, crouched down in front of him, and opened my mouth.

“Church member… no. To be precise, is he a former church member? “Anyway, what faction was the knight from?”

“… … .”

“Shall I guess? The elders here are less talkative and reticent, which seems to be the part of the black swamp… … . “The knight who just looks rough and has little patience is the one with golden horns, right?”

It was something I said without really thinking about it, but if this were true, today would be a pretty monumental day.

I have clashed with the Black Swamp, Green Tongue, and Blood Moon factions… … .

It was the day when I finally met the golden horn and the colorless believer.

Have you met the Archdemon Behemoth’s faction yet?

Unfortunately, if Leone is the cult leader, I have personally met Behemoth’s greatest believer.

In other words, I achieved the feat of meeting all six factions of the church. Perhaps people like me are rare even in Heros?

“Shut up.”

As expected, the driver growled and fired back, but I was actually glad to see this reaction.

I chuckled and continued to scratch my insides.

“But what on earth did you, former church member, come to Heros to enjoy wealth and fame? I don’t think I betrayed him because I woke up one day feeling guilty. Was the offer from Heros attractive? He said he would definitely clean up his identity… … . I’ve heard that the church is particularly unforgiving of apostates, so I don’t think you’ll have any direct conflict with the church. aha. “Now I understand.”

“… … .”

“All I do is occasionally participate in promotion matches or The Origin as a member and help with exams, right? Since he is a former church member, he knows the church’s ecology well, and it would be perfect to create a real-life training situation. “You don’t have to take on anything very dangerous, so we’ll be mutually beneficial.”

“bantling. “You talk too much.”

The driver glared at me.

“A guy like you who only has a snout won’t live long. “Didn’t you hear the warning that you have to risk your life to win a promotion?”

“Of course I heard. But can you, the imprisoned knight, touch even a hair on my head?”

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

At the words the knight sneered at, the doubt within me turned into confidence.

As expected, the test is not over once we find these two guys.

I got up from my squatting position and went to the chain scythe.

“Mr. Lorcan, help me.”

“Which one?”

“First of all, you brought a weapon, right?”

“Of course.”

Lorcan answered, pointing to his waist.

I saw a chain scythe, which could be said to be this man’s trademark.

“Can you hang that on the door? “Like a chain tied to a doorknob, in a restricted area.”

“It’s possible, but is there a reason?”

“You will find out soon. “I don’t have time, so please do it quickly.”

“… … .”

Chain Scythe glared at my complaints and then sighed.

“I’ll follow you this time.”

Holding weight.

I walked to the location designated by the chain scythe, confirmed that the door was sealed, and then pulled out the Seven Deadly Sinsword.

In Heros, I plan to mainly use the Seven Deadly Sinsword unless a critical situation arises.

The Hundred Sunshine Ceremony is my secret weapon, so I didn’t want to easily showcase it in a place like this.

“What are you going to do?”

A scholar who was watching my actions spoke to me.

It seems like this young lady is the only one who talks a lot.

The remaining characters, namely the nobleman, merchant, gangster, and wizard, were almost silent.

In particular, the wizard was so mute that I couldn’t even see him open his lips.

“I’m going to do this.”

I answered briefly and threw the sword I had drawn toward a corner.

Sigh!

The sword was stuck in the air.

“Anit?!”

“What is that… … ?”

“Ohh.”

It only shined like that for a moment.

The air where the blade was inserted shimmered like a mirage, and soon someone appeared along with the blood.

He was like a petty thief who hid his entire body in black clothes.

“Tsk… … !”

“What, what is that guy?”

While the surrounding people were panicking, the hiding thief pulled out the Seven Deadly Sins sword from his shoulder, threw it away, and immediately ran toward the door.

But our chain scythe was waiting there.

The only entrance is already blocked.

Chain Scythe’s eyes sank low as he saw the petty thief running a short distance away.

The moment he got within range, his outstretched hand grabbed the thief by the collar. The shoplifter struggled to free himself from the situation, but the blood only splattered on his shoulder more violently.

Meanwhile, the chain scythe lifted up the petty thief and then slammed him into the ground.

Quang!

Even so, he was a named mercenary.

This means that he has mastered not only his main weapon, but also some fighting skills to prepare for an unexpected situation.

Of course, if the petty thief had been in perfect condition, the outcome could have been a bit different.

Anyway, that petty thief was the last church member I ever cared about.

When I was observing the small room, I realized the existence of that guy hiding in the corner.

It was difficult to determine whether he was a church member or an examiner.

So he deliberately provoked the knight and drew the conclusion that there were still more church members left.

Lorcan looked at the shoplifter and then looked at me and said.

“Can I release it now? “I want to tie this guy up instead of the door.”

“okay.”

With my permission, Lorcan took off the chain he had tied tightly to the doorknob and wrapped it around the thief’s body instead.

“Damn it! “Let go of this!”

The petty thief struggled one last time to protest, but as far as I know, Rokhan’s chains are a relic.

It’s probably a replica, but it doesn’t mean it’s strong enough to be easily broken with physical force.

The petty thief shouted at the two church members who were tied up in that state.

“Peron! Erudi! What are you doing! They both can still move?! Are you going to just fall down like that? “If we accomplish this mission, you know that the deadline can be shortened by several years!”

Deadline?

I was a little interested, but the guy was struggling too loudly.

I quietly approached the thief from behind and struck him in the back of the head with the handle of the Seven Deadly Sword.

With a thud, the shoplifter fell down with his face on the ground.

“… Wow. “What on earth is going on?”

The moment the scholar who was watching the situation let out an absurd voice, the merchant who had been silent until now muttered.

“It was a double trick.”

Then the nobleman standing next to him tilted his head.

“What does it mean?”

“This test was deliberately set up with two traps. At first, the atmosphere was created as if there was only one hidden church member. In that situation, even if it turns out that there are two church members, it is hard to think that there will be one more person hiding. Could it be a side effect of prejudice? Coming right after solving one trick, what should I say… Because it’s a kind of satisfaction.”

“Right.”

nobles and merchants.

It wasn’t particularly important right now, but those two guys. Seeing that he stayed with me all the time to take the exam, it seemed like we knew each other.

‘They say it’s all first meeting.’

I felt like there was no one I could trust.

“It’s just as you said.”

At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and the examiner who had first guided me appeared.

The examiner said, scanning the interior with his inorganic eyes.

“I found all the church members, so I passed the first test. Congratulations.”

The examiner continued by congratulating me in a voice that was not congratulatory at all.

“First of all, among the participants here, the risk of demotion has disappeared for heroes below grade C. In addition, we have separately recorded the participants who showed outstanding performance in the search for church members, so you can look forward to the results of the personnel evaluation at the end of the year.”

Meanwhile, the examiner was looking at me and Verita.

First of all, I think it’s because we were the two who did the most to track down church members.

‘You don’t say anything.’

Not to mention Verita, my screening method was actually a bit rough, but the examiner didn’t even pay much attention to it.

Is it because it doesn’t matter as long as the results are good?

Utilitarianism, or consequentialism.

Maybe this is the part that symbolizes the institution called Heros.

“The second test will be held immediately. If you pass this test, you will be qualified to become a C-class hero. Let me tell you in advance, the ship will be more dangerous than this test. “Those who want to give up should say so now.”

‘aha. It was like this.’

I convinced myself.

The first test is grade D, the second test is grade C, the third test is grade B… … . I think it can be understood that each time you pass, you go up one level.

In other words, there were two more exams left to reach my goal.

The old man raised his hand at the examiner’s words.

“I will stop here. “The wounds are so big that it will be difficult to continue.”

Looking at the way he spoke, it seems like the former church member also participated in the promotion battle.

Perhaps their mission was different from ours.

Never reveal your true identity, I guess it was something like this.

“Confirmed, Erudi. But if you, a B-class hero, stop taking the test now, you will be demoted to C-class, does it matter?”

“I see. He was thinking about retirement anyway. He also kept his 20-year term with Heros.”

“good night. Let me report it to the higher-ups. “Is there anything else?”

“… … .”

“Then I understand that all nine remaining people will participate in the second test.”

The examiner looked at us and said.

“I’ll give you just one hour to fix it. Let’s gather again after that. The meeting place is the back entrance of Heros headquarters.”

* * *

There was nothing to do for an hour.

It was because I wasn’t seriously injured, nor was I hungry.

I decided to go to Heros’ back door first.

“Kek.”

“oh.”

Then, by chance, I ran into Verita.

Looking at his movements, it seemed like this guy had arrived right away.

“hello! Brother. You came early. The last performance you showed me was very impressive. I also didn’t realize that church member was hiding… … . If it weren’t for you, all of us would have fallen there. “If he was that secretive, wouldn’t he probably be a member of the Assassination Church?”

“… … .”

“hmm? Your complexion is not good. Are you okay?”

“My face is always like this. “He uses his divine power quite well than that.”

There was no sign of popularity around, but first of all, this was Heros. There is nothing strange even if there are entities that deviate from my senses.

“… … .”

Verita, realizing what I meant, smiled. It was a smile that seemed somewhere between a church member and a nun.

“Of course it is thanks to God’s grace.”

“Do you think there are many gods you believe in?”

You can tell that the 72 religions are just by looking at their names, but of course they are polytheistic religions.

Of course that wasn’t what I was talking about.

“Brother. There are different types of faith, and there are no lies in all of my beliefs. So it’s no wonder that I can exert healing powers.”

“ah. That’s right. “Anyway, how were you sure those two were church members?”

“As I said, my eyes are a bit special. Even if you don’t share the same beliefs as me, you can guess its identity when you see it with your own eyes.”

“… … .”

I was left speechless by Verita’s insignificant response.

So, this woman, if she were a colorless believer, would be able to track that person on a city scale… … .

Does this mean that even non-church members can determine its identity if they see it with their own eyes?

‘crazy.’

The ability to clearly see through church members.

It was an ability that the imperial family, Heros, or the Church of the Sun would definitely want to secure even if they gave him hundreds of millions of dollars.

The sad thing is that the owner of such abilities is a member of the Dark Church.

‘I don’t think I should ever let him run into Evan… … .’

Other than that, wouldn’t Verita have endless uses depending on how you use it?

That’s what I thought when I saw Verita smiling brightly… … .

To be honest, I had no confidence in controlling this crazy woman.

“By the way, was the princess okay?”

“The princess? “What a princess.”

“yes?”

Berita, who blinked for a moment, tilted her head and asked.

“Weren’t you meeting with Leone?”
