I Became the Youngest Disciple of the Martial God Chapter 314

Episode 314

The name of the owner of this somewhat goofy face is Arts Badniker.

It’s been so long since I last saw him that I couldn’t think of him for a moment, but in fact, he isn’t someone I have a connection with so easily that I can easily forget him.

Anyway, in my past life, like Hector, he was the brother who treated me the worst.

In fact, Arts has many similarities to Hector.

The fanatical worship of Iron Blood Prince, the arrogance unique to nobles, and a cheap attitude… … . The only difference is that Arts feels more vulgar than Hector?

Unlike Hector, who felt an aristocratic elegance no matter what he did, no such elegance was felt from Atsu.

Unlike Hector, who established his own faction by continuing to interact with not only the institutional nobility but also the imperial family at a young age, his actions were passive… … .

In short, Arts Badniker is like a backwards compatible version of Hector Badniker.

It’s a strange feeling.

In my past life, I wanted to beat him to death every time I thought of him, but looking at him now, I thought he was pathetic rather than angry.

Does it feel like just swinging a fist lowers my level?

Atsu, who was confused for a moment, cleared his throat and spoke to me again.

“Is this the end of greetings?”

“It can’t be. “How have you been, brothers?”

At this time, I did not have much contact with my sixth son, Ats, or even with my sixth son, Dolver, so I did not ask how they were personally but greeted them at the same time.

Was that annoying again?

The moment Atsu’s eyebrows twitched, Dolver looked at me and said.

“It’s been a while, Luan.”

It was an unexpectedly friendly voice.

Badniker’s sixth son, Dolver Badniker.

In terms of brotherhood, he is right above me, but I don’t really know him.

Not only personal friendships, but even bad relationships.

This is because I had never hung out with this person even before I received his protection and was declared incompetent.

Dolver’s personality was not like that of a badniker.

He was quiet, simple, and frugal, and perhaps because of that, his hair was black, almost a gray with low saturation.

For some reason, that brother was looking at me with an interested expression.

“I heard about it from Professor Alec. “It seems like he thought very well of you.”

“Professor Alec? ah.”

Come to think of it, Dolbert was an outstanding scholar.

Although he is not good at martial arts, he is a genius who is the youngest person to be appointed as a professor at the academy.

In the not-too-distant future, each archaeological paper published by Dolver will cause a huge stir in the academic world.

From what I was saying, it seemed like Professor Alec took a liking to me after hearing my story.

Professor Alec’s subject seems to have been historical geography, and the subject has many connections with archeology.

If you have already been assigned a position at the Academy, there is nothing strange about your friendship with Professor Alec.

“Dean Alderson again… No, the former dean also called you-.”

“Hey, do you think we’re gathered here to chat?”

Ats joined in with a snarky voice.

“Luan Badnicker, if you’re the youngest, act like one. Do you only say hello to your older brothers and treat your older sisters like sacks of barley?”

“ah.”

It’s not wrong.

I saw five women sitting across from me.

Eyes filled with interest and curiosity were focused on me, but other than Nero, my second daughter, there was no one I knew in particular.

Still, I thought I should say hello as Atsu said, so I opened the spout, but at that moment, I heard a knock.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Then the door opened, and people in pitch black suits appeared side by side.

“… … .”

I guessed their identity by looking at their gestures, prayers, and trained muscles that couldn’t be hidden even by their suits.

These are Badniker’s collectors.

The most central figure among the collectors opened his mouth with an expressionless face.

“It is an honor to meet the children of Badniker in one place. “My name is Benga Organ, servant of the family.”

“… … !”

The guys around me were a little surprised, and so was I.

Atsu muttered in a dazed voice.

“The strongest collector… … .”

It’s just as I said.

Badniker’s Hound – The one who is said to be the strongest among the collectors is a man named Benga Organ.

This is my first time seeing it in person… … .

Maybe the same goes for other guys?

As long as you don’t do anything against the family in the first place, you don’t really have much to do with being a collector.

Also, among the collectors who appeared with Benga, I found one more person who was somewhat annoying.

He was a young man with an unusually grumpy face.

It was definitely my first time seeing his face, but I felt like I knew who he was.

Hector said.

“Lord Organ, I’m sorry this is my first time greeting you on this occasion.”

“I agree.”

“So what is your father’s condition? “Are you still in critical condition?”

“There was no improvement.”

An answer from someone who represents Badniker’s wishes.

It was no different from confirming the fact that Sanghyeolgong was on the brink of death.

Heero spoke while a heavy silence fell around them.

“Can’t it be cured even with the sacred power of a high-ranking priest? If it’s my father’s job, I’m sure he’s a bishop of the 72 denominations… No, it wouldn’t be strange if the Pope himself came.”

“If it were a matter that could be solved with divine power, I would have taken the head of the family and headed to the islands a long time ago, Master Heero. Even His Holiness cannot purify an instrument that has eroded its heart. The instrument… For example, it is a sucker with numerous small hooks. It is deeply entrenched and rooted inside the heart. If you use conflicting divine powers, it will either run wild or dig deeper. “It is not difficult to get rid of an instrument, but the impact of this means that the heart also suffers irreversible damage.”

“… … .”

“If it were a normal person, it wouldn’t have been strange if he had died long ago. “The reason the matriarch is still alive is only thanks to his innate strong vitality.”

Benga’s expression and voice were calm.

He recited the matriarch’s condition with an expressionless expression, as if he were an emotionless person, and perhaps because of his strange attitude, it seemed even more persuasive.

The atmosphere in the conference room became even more subdued… … .

This time it was Ryzen who broke the silence.

“I could get some good health medicine or elixir, but that wouldn’t be effective in driving away the instrument, right?”

“you’re right.”

“Then is there really no way now?”

“Of course we will try everything. However, even if the head of the family passes away, Badnicker should never be shaken. So, the reason we came here today is to talk about succession.”

At those words, Hector jumped up from his seat. And she glared at Benga with sharp eyes.

“Are you already treating my father like he’s dead? “Are you the user of Badniker?”

Benga passed over Hector’s momentum without a problem. The difference in skill between the two is obvious from the beginning, but it doesn’t seem to be necessarily because of that.

“You are correct, Master Hector. As a mere employee, I have no right to discuss family matters. “I’m sorry, but everything I just said is the will of the council of elders.”

“what?”

Shock spread across Hector’s face.

Hector’s maternal grandfather is also included in the council of elders.

So, it meant that the Anatos family, one of the core forces that make up the huge power called Badniker, was already considering the death of Iron Blood Lord.

“When the head of the family passes away or is no longer able to perform his or her duties as the head of the family, it is generally a rule that the head of the family succeeds to the position, but the head of the family did not announce the name of the head of the family. This means that no one in the family, except for a very small number of people, knows about the existence of Sogaju.”

“for a moment. The tone is a bit meaningful, isn’t it? Could it be that the head of the family has already appointed the head of the So family?”

“That’s right.”

Most of the guys who didn’t know the situation looked at Heiro when he said those words, but the eldest son of this Badniker had an expressionless face and didn’t show any emotion.

“… Come to think of it, when I saw it during the day, I could feel the movement of people in the empty Socheoldang.”

“ah. “I saw it too.”

“Has Brother Hiiro finally been recognized by the family head as the head of the small family?”

Benga waited a moment for the murmur to subside.

Then, our eyes met, and looking at his empty eyes, it was hard to tell whether he was playing it off even though he knew about Sogaju’s identity, or whether he really didn’t know anything.

“Wait a minute, Sir Organ.”

Then Heero spoke.

“I understand what the council of elders means, but my father is still alive. Even though he is not in a good condition right now, even though the probability of death is over 90%, he is still alive. I also don’t want to talk about him under the circumstances of his death. No matter how much it is the will of the higher-ups in the family, it is the same.”

“hmm.”

Benga nodded.

“understand. It was a sudden story. Well, I’ll stop here today, but keep one thing in mind. Everyone here will have to assume the worst.”

“… “Can’t I see my father?”

Hector opened his mouth cautiously, and Benga said as if it was an expected question.

“We are avoiding contact with the outside world as much as possible. This is especially true for warriors who have trained their bodies professionally and have stored up mana. This is because we cannot know what effect the faint energy waves emitted from the body will have.”

Benga spread his fingers.

“three.”

“three?”

“yes. I’m sorry, but only three of the children here can greet the matriarch. “If you wish, please stand up.”

Then most of the children stood up.

All men except Dolver.

Aquata was still sitting on the women’s side, and Everan, the girl who was unusually quiet, was still sitting there.

I got up because I had some business to do, and Atsu’s eyes widened as if he was waiting.

‘What happened to you?’

The look in your eyes that says exactly that.

I roughly ignored it and spoke to someone whose behavior was also somewhat unexpected.

“I didn’t know Brother Raizen would stand up.”

“Aren’t you treating me like I’m too immoral?”

It’s a little different.

Risen was almost killed by Sanghyeolgong during the last auction.

Even if he was my father, I didn’t think he would want to greet the person who almost took his life.

“hmm.”

Benga, who looked at his child’s face, spoke again.

“Unfortunately, not everyone here can say hello to the matriarch.”

“then?”

“You have to be selective. Fortunately, this place is Badknicker. “At any time, at any moment, when competing for limited qualifications, there are certain priorities.”

Benga continued.

“Skill and performance. “I will select these two.”

“hmm.”

“I can’t help it.”

Even hospital visits are determined based on performance?

Other families would have asked what kind of crazy thing that was, but all of us badniks were convinced.

Even if Iron Blood Lord had come to his senses, he would have given the same instructions.

“First of all, it’s skill. Based on Heros, only B level or higher, for the Imperial Imperial Family, elite knights, and for the Magic Tower, only Director level or higher should remain standing. “If there is anyone who holds a position in the organizations listed now but is affiliated with an organization that I am not aware of, please let me know.”

“question.”

Risen raised his hand.

“Please speak.”

“I have been recognized by eleven tribes in the Eastern Plains and have their primitive patterns engraved on my body. How about this?”

“Can you identify the emblem?”

“good.”

As Raizen took off his top, his well-trained body was revealed.

There were surprisingly a lot of injuries, but that wasn’t unexpected.

From the time he left home, Raizen had been wandering around among gangs in the west, and he must have fought quite an uphill battle to be recognized by his tribe in the east as well.

“Has confirmed. “I think it’s a pattern obtained from the [Bone Lion] tribe, is that correct?”

“huh? ah. that’s right.”

“I heard that this is a tribe that does not perform procedures unless you are a proud warrior that they recognize. If it were an outsider, the standards would have been even higher. “You are enough.”

The moment Benga nodded, someone else raised their hand.

“Is it not enough to be an A-level mercenary?”

It was Olivia, the Four Maidens who had never said a word.

I was a little surprised.

That’s because I didn’t know that among Badniker’s blood relatives, there was someone other than me who worked as a mercenary.

But I soon realized why I didn’t know this… … .

Olivia Badnicker was one of the siblings who died just before reaching adulthood.

“It’s a bit vague, but do you have any records of performing A-class missions?”

“I performed five.”

“hmm.”

Benga thought for a moment and nodded.

“I will admit it.”

So, the ones standing there were Heiro, Hector, Raizen, and me.

There were three people on the other side, including Nero, Lina, and Olivia.

It was then.

“Hey, Lord Organ. “Aren’t you checking properly?”

Ats joined in with a snarky voice.

Although there was hostility in his voice, Benga still spoke in an unfazed manner.

“Master Arts, is there something I missed?”

“Of course there is. “The unqualified guy is still standing up.”

“… … ?”

At those words, Benga tilted his head for the first time. Then he slowly looks around and then speaks again.

“sorry. “I don’t really understand what Master Arts is talking about.”

“therefore! “There is one guy standing there who doesn’t meet any of the conditions you mentioned.”

“You need to specify exactly who it is… … .”

“That guy! “That guy!”

In the end, Atsu seemed to have exploded and pointed his finger at me.

“Luan Badniker is still standing there shamelessly!”

Benga glanced at me and opened his mouth.

“I don’t know what you mean. Master Luan is already fully qualified.”

“what?”

“Master, you are Heros’ B-class hero.”

“… … .”

Then there was a slight buzz in the surroundings.

I was rather surprised by that reaction.

It’s not that I’m overly self-conscious, it’s that more and more people recognize me recently.

‘ah.’

Now that I think about it, it was like that when I encountered a hero in the North.

No matter how active I have been recently, I am still a B-class hero… … .

Heroes who are famous enough to be known to outsiders are generally A-level.

Those below that level only have a reputation among heroes, but surprisingly, they are not known even to celebrities in the system or other regions.

This is especially true for people like Arts who have no interest in Heros.

“Did you become a B-class hero because of your work in the system?”

Still, it seems to be quite widely known that Haden-Eihar’s plot was thwarted in the islands.

It was only natural that he had a direct audience with His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, no matter how much you achieve, you cannot become a B-class hero right away.

Seeing him speak like that, I thought he didn’t know anything about Heros’ rules.

“Separately, I went to Heros and took the test.”

“Nonsense… … . “You passed [The Origin]?”

“It’s an entrance exam. “Thanks to my performance at the retreat, I qualified as an apprentice and went straight to the promotion battle.”

Then Atsu muttered with a devastated face.

“That’s a lie.”

Leaving Atsu behind, Benga spoke again.

“Next, performance. This year or at least last year. “Only those who have directly engaged with the religious order and achieved tangible results, please continue to stand.”

At these words, Raizen shrugged his shoulders and sat down… The rest of the characters also clicked their tongues and stuck their butts together.

When I saw things like this, I thought that it would be very unlikely that I would have a direct conflict with the hidden religious bastards.

So the only ones left were Heero, Hector, Nero, and finally me… … .

Hector clashed with Haden Eihar at the academy last year, so I think he hit that.

Hiiro and Nero are both heroes belonging to Heros, so they often engage in combat with the church.

At that time, Atsu intervened again.

“Isn’t Hector the one who was active at the academy? “That guy is just putting a spoon on cooked rice and he’s serving it?”

“Ah-oh.”

Just cut off the flow.

Aside from the fact that Atsu is a guy who doesn’t even care about his fists, it was annoying to see him picking on every issue.

As I slowly moved my right hand, Hector spoke.

“Atsu, it’s noisy.”

“Tongue, brother?”

“okay. Close your mouth. Luan passed the promotion battle and achieved heroic results in the North as well. “When you’re a bastard walking around in the system pathetically selling your products.”

As Heero joined in, Raiden sat down and picked his ear and muttered.

“Why does that sound like it’s telling me to listen?”

When Heiro snorted, Benga spoke again.

“great. This completes the selection. “The greetings will be tomorrow evening, and I will send someone to you in advance, so please rest for today.”

“wait for a sec.”

It wasn’t Art who intervened this time.

It was Lina, the third daughter, who had just sat down.

“You’re saying you’re only taking up to three people? “Aren’t there four of you now?”

“ah.”

Benga, who was in a daze, said.

“You forgot that Lord Soga is not included in that number. that’s my fault.”

“Sogaju… … .”

At those words, attention was focused on Hiiro once again, and this time Hiiro responded like this.

“By the way, I am not Sogaju.”

“yes?”

“for a moment. What is that… … .”

Naturally, the next person to focus my attention was Hector.

“Me neither.”

This guy also shook his head, and so did Nero.

Then the eyes of my brothers and sisters finally landed on me.

I said, raising my hand.

“Oh, it’s me again.”
