“Where has Mr. Leffenhardt gone?”
Russ fumbled for an answer.
“Ah, my brother is away from the castle right now… … I’ll probably have to wait three or four hours before I come back… … .”
At that moment, Gerard raised one eye.
“Eh? older brother? “I guess he’s younger?”
No matter how you look at the young man in front of you, he looks to be in his late 20s. (Russ only looks that way because he is young, but he is actually over 30.)
‘The disciple’s age… … He must be in his mid-20s, right?’
But Gerrard was soon convinced. It has been a long-standing tradition of Jim Unbreakable to look about 10 years older than his actual age. Previous kings with generous personalities did not bother to make excuses for such crude misunderstandings. Even when Gerard entered the world at the age of 20, no one saw him as younger than 30. furthermore… … .
‘Well, that Leppenhardt is strangely precocious even for us, so I sometimes wondered if he was a teenage boy.’
Although I took him in as a disciple and raised him when he was young, sometimes when I listen to him talk, he gives off the air of an old man who has lived a long life.
Gerard turned his gaze towards Tashid this time. Gerard was amazed to see that despite being an Orc, he possessed a highly trained Auror.
“What is this again? “You’re an Orc, but have you awakened your Auror?”
Tashid also blinked and muttered to Gerard.
“What is that person with an old face? “He’s a human, so how can he be that big?”
In his entire life, he never thought that there would be someone bigger than Kalken in the world. Kalken was a huge man, reaching 2.3 meters, and although the old man was human, he seemed to be a head taller than Kalken. Honestly, it was to the point where I doubted whether it was even human, let alone human.
Gerard chuckled, looking at Tashid who was dazed.
“This guy’s student is raising all kinds of amazing things.”
But Gerrard immediately lost his attention to Tashid. He had the boldness to not care at all even when his one and only favorite student’s spirit went back and forth and he changed his name. Even what the Orc used as an Auror was not enough to shake his boldness.
Meanwhile, Banatel was perplexed as he looked at Gerard.
There is no one in the world who does not know that King of Fist Reppenhardt is Gerard’s disciple, but even so, they did not expect that King of Fist would appear here. It was because of Jim Unbreakable’s long tradition.
“You bastard, Gerard! “Why are you here?”
Gerard stroked his beard and responded as if he was saying all sorts of things.
“What’s strange about the master stopping by his student’s house?”
“Of course it’s strange! Jim: When did Unbreakable ever feel any kind of affection between priests? “Once you get them down the mountain, they become strangers, you guys!”
Past kings of Kwon never met again with their masters or emperors after their descent from the mountain. The master didn’t even bother to look for disciples. So neither Vanatel nor the Bastalon Empire had even expected Gerard to appear here.
“Hehe, where did you get such a misunderstanding?”
In fact, Jim Unbreakable never lacks affection between priests. The level of love for students and gratitude towards teachers is probably much stronger in Jim Unbreakable than in other martial arts. Because the hardships it takes to raise disciples are so great.
Gerard shrugged his shoulders.
“Of course, if we have anything to do, we look for each other.”
However, like ordinary people, Jim Unbreakable’s exciting successors do not consider ordinary daily events, such as birthdays, weddings, and funerals, as ‘business’. Even things like a student’s life being in danger or needing help were not big ‘issues’ at all by Jim Unbreakable’s standards.
Jim Unbreakable’s motto is bold, bold, and bold.
Jim Unbreakable, who pursues the path of a cool man, had the idea that if a man breaks up cleanly, he should go his own way without looking back. Thanks to this, once we came down the mountain, we didn’t see each other so much that misunderstandings spread. Well, his disciples, who grew up getting beaten, instinctively avoided their master, so it wasn’t a completely wrong misunderstanding.
Gerard blinked and asked a question to Vanatel.
“So what are you doing here, Vanatel? No matter how old you are, you’re showing off your strength to kids. Let’s keep our stamina, okay?”
Vanatel’s face turned slightly red. To be honest, he was embarrassed to put his hands on Russ, who was his grandson’s age.
“Yes, is it time for you to get into trouble? Cover your top! “What’s wrong with dressing at that age?”
Currently, Gerard was wearing simple pants and had his top completely removed. Even in the middle of winter, he would wear only a vest or just take it off, but now, in the middle of summer, it was a natural outfit for him.
“Hmm… … .”
Gerard narrowed his eyes and looked Vanatelle up and down. Compared to him, who was 2.5 meters tall and had solid muscles, Vanatel looked no more than an ordinary old man. For an old man, his back was straight, he was tall, and his body was quite strong, but he was still at the level of an ordinary person.
Gerard chuckled, twitching both pectoralis muscles as if in protest.
“If you can still dress like this at this age, that’s something to be proud of, what’s the shame? “Do you feel envious?”
“Okay… … .”
Vanatel groaned. He was honestly jealous. If you are a man, this is something you can’t help.
“noisy!”
Banatel shouted and pointed his sword at Gerard. Banatel continued speaking, trying hard to control his expression.
“What is boasting about one’s strength!” “I’m just here to punish heretics according to Sayer’s wishes!”
“Ah, well, since I live and receive a salary from the empire, I guess I should do what they tell me. “Shouldn’t you have been more diligent in saving money when you were young?”
Gerard mocked in a soft voice. Vanatel’s expression became even more crumpled.
In order to raise disciples, Jim Unbreakable’s successors worked hard to accumulate wealth from a young age. Of course, since he was young, Gerard had been exploring dungeons and receiving various requests, working hard to save money and being called upon again and again. He has spent more than half of his money raising Reppenhardt, but he is still one of the richest people in Vasily’s kingdom.
Since there is no problem in making a living, there is no need to complain about the country. So Gerrard could remain a free man.
On the other hand, Banatel in his younger days was not a very strong swordsman, so he was busy making a living. So he was unable to accumulate much wealth. It was the same even after becoming an Auror user. Due to the nature of Banatel’s swordsmanship, he cannot have any disciples. The reason why his Auror status is so incredible is not because he has some exquisite method, but because he was born that way.
However, this does not mean that Banatel is poor. Since they are sword saints who are called the guardian gods of the empire, they naturally receive a considerable amount of money from the empire in the name of maintaining their dignity. But no matter how much money he has, he is ultimately a salaried worker.
A guy with a good body has a lot of money. Vanatel gritted his teeth.
“Ah, as expected, that bastard is unlucky.”
Gerrard also frowned.
“You’re talking nonsense. “Do you think you’re so talented?”
An Auror like Vanatel was something Gerard couldn’t help but envy. As an Auror user, how can I not be envious of the tremendous power of Aurors? Honestly, I can’t help but feel jealous.
Vanatel and Gerard looked at each other and growled. Russ looked blank at that sight.
‘What kind of tone of voice… … .’
The tone of speech was too undignified to be considered a conversation between a renowned swordsman of the time and the Emperor of Gwon. Isn’t it like a market robber?
However, other older Auror users did not find it strange.
Young people think that their speaking style naturally becomes old as they get older, but even a 70-year-old person who normally speaks loudly in front of younger people tends to use his youthful speaking style when he meets people of the same age. Especially if it is a bad relationship that has lasted for decades!
‘Uhm… … ‘Why does this guy show up here?’
Vanatel groaned inwardly.
This huge old man in front of me is Emperor Gerard.
Seeing that long-standing bad relationship makes me feel itchy. But he struggled to recall the emperor’s orders. Banatel opened his mouth, trying hard to suppress his greed.
“Get back, Gerard! This is the work of the Vastalon Empire! “You’re not saying you’re going to be hostile to the empire, are you?”
He then glanced at Russ and Tashid and continued speaking sarcastically.

“Or are you going to make such a strange statement that you will protect them since they are your disciple’s subordinates? “Isn’t Jim Unbreakable’s motto to walk the path of an exciting man?”
Surprisingly, Gerard nodded obediently.
“Of course. It’s not like I fired a surprise bomb to protect them. “I just said hello because I saw a happy face.”
Other Auror users opened their mouths in astonishment at Gerard’s distribution of a house-sized bombshell that was treated as nothing more than a greeting. But Banatel looked like he wanted to do that. In fact, if Vana Tel had found Gerard first, he would have extended his Blade Auror to strike him as a greeting.
Gerard tilted his head.
“however… … “There’s no reason for me to care about the empire and watch my disciples and subordinates die, right?”
Observing other people’s opinions is also an act that goes against the path of an exciting man.
“And above all… … .”
Gerard grinned and clenched his fists.
“Wouldn’t you be so sad if you and I met and blood didn’t splatter?”
The patience I had barely held in was suddenly broken. To be honest, I wanted to get rid of Banatel and everything, including the emperor’s orders, and deal with this evil situation in front of me first.
A murderous glow began to bloom even beyond Banatel’s shoulder.
“Okay, I met you and I can’t just pass it up. Isn’t that right, Gerard!”
“No problem!”
As Vanatel adjusted his sword, a storm-like aura bloomed from his entire body. With that force alone, the wind swirls and the ground shakes.
“Gerard! “I’ll serve you some sashimi this time!”
Gerard smiled softly and shouted.
“That’s what I’m going to say, Banatel! This time, I’ll make it into a blood cake!”
A golden aura also emanated from Gerard’s whole body. A pillar of light pierced the air and the air began to shake.
☆ ☆ ☆
Vanatel glared at Gerard with his sword raised.
Gerard also clenched his fist and stared at Vanatel.
The distance between the two is about 20 meters, which is too far to separate the two, but it is well within the range for Auror users.
Vanatel took a step forward, flashing bright red aura flames.
“Now that I think about it, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been with you, Gerard.”
He nods softly and hits the ground hard with his left foot. A brilliant barrier of aura rose and turned into a huge wave. With a roar, wrinkles formed on the ground, and a huge tsunami of Aurors rushed towards Gerard.
The wave of aura that covered the front of my eyes was an aura wave that ran in a straight line in the direction where Gerard was, rather than spreading out in all directions like before. Of course, the power it carries is a world away from before!
Russ and Tashid, who were behind him, were scared and jumped back.
“Ugh!”
“shit! “If you get swept away, it’s over!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A wave of aurors mercilessly digs into the ground in front of Baekwangseong and attacks Gerard. At that moment, Gerrard also took a step forward.
“I see, it’s been about 10 years?”
Gerard answered calmly and raised his foot. And like Banatel, he took a strong step forward. The golden aura surged like a geyser. An auror pillar nearly 10 meters high collided with a wave of bright red light.
Quang!
The entire earth shook. The entire land surface is swept up, forming a spiral pillar of earth that pierces the sky. And then it crumbled in the air and fell in the form of stone rain. Auror users from other countries who were far away clicked their tongues and each deployed their Auror guards.
“Ugh!”
“Those monsters!”
Banatel took a step with his right foot this time.
“10 years? “I think it’s gotten worse?”
Behind the waves of aura, dozens of vortices of bright red light were created, forming a gust of wind. The auror storm swept towards Gerard, leaving a long trail on the ground.
Gerrard also took a step forward. he muttered.
“Well, about 14 years.”
It was right after the duel with Vanatel that I found the young Tethron, the disciple now called Reppenhardt.
Coo!
The moment the heavy foot stepped on the ground, a huge circular ripple of aura spread out in all directions. The spreading golden ripples collided with the bright red wind and exploded in various places. There was a thunderous sound and the entire Baekwang Castle and nearby hills and forests shook as if an earthquake had occurred. The walls of Baekwangseong were cracked and bricks were broken and falling into pieces. Knights and soldiers screamed.
“Ugh!”
“Avoid! “The walls are falling!”
thud! Coo thump!
Fragments of the collapsed castle walls raised dust all over Baekwangseong. Asleil, who was lowering his body and raising his shield above his head to block the debris, muttered with a tired look on his face.
“… … My God, is that really human power…? … .”
Banatel and Gerard continued walking. With each step, the air distorted and the earth shook. Two rays of bright red and golden light sprayed incredible destructive power in all directions.
“You’ve increased a lot! “Banatel!”
If you take one step, the earth splits.
“It’s you! Gerard!”
If you take two steps, the sky will be torn apart.
