Episode 03. Dragon Slayer
My expectations were not wrong.
The triplets blocked my path with a mean expression.
The fourth, ‘Tony de Strange’, would later grow up to be one of the five generals on the continent.
The fifth, ‘Johnny de Strange’, is reborn as his right-hand man and faithful hunting dog.
And ‘Ronnie de Strange’, who becomes the owner of the slum to take care of the dirty work of those two.
They are trash guys who will later form an organization called ‘Big Gang’ and rebel against their family.
‘Is it from this time?’
They started harassing me.
Those three are loyal to their family. My blood is a little different from that of an illegitimate child.
But that doesn’t mean they had greater talent than me. It’s just that their mother has a strong influence and they are able to receive a good education.
Still, they are three of the seven direct brothers with blood from the Strange family, so they are someone that cannot be ignored.
“Howdy-. Dean, why are you silent like a honey-drenched mute?”
“Nothing to say?”
“Nothing to say?”
A voice that is unlucky to hear even after a long time.
How can guys who are only six years old make such facial expressions?
‘what… .’
In the past, when I was five years old, I endured bullying from guys.
I felt like I would be in trouble if I messed with my brothers for no reason. At that time, I was appalled by their collective action.
No matter how talented I was, I didn’t know if I was stronger than those guys.
Well, from the year I turned nine, when my talent rose above the water, those three also became quiet.
Even after graduating from the academy, he was always targeting my head, so it would be more accurate to view him as my enemy in life.
‘Let’s step on it now.’
Now is different from my previous life.
I am strong. More than those three.
I know that.
Besides, even if I were to beat up those three right now, there wouldn’t be a big problem.
Because my father is not the type of person to worry about trivial things like this.
To him, it doesn’t matter whether he is a wife, daughter-in-law, direct relative, or collateral relative.
They only keep close to those among their blood relatives who can survive in a world where the fittest is the law of the fittest.
I know this because I have already experienced it.
What is he thinking? What is he moving for?
If, by chance, the father takes action due to a fight between brothers, there is only one reason.
‘To keep an eye on the winner.’
Anyway, now they have a justification to protect themselves by threatening me.
Because they were the ones who started the fight first.
I answered without changing my expression.
“shut up.”
Tony, the eldest of the twins, tilted his head.
“Aang? “What did you say just now?”
“What did you just say!”
“What did you just say!!”
Ronnie and Johnny echoed his words.
I shrugged my shoulders slightly and pointed my finger at Tony.
“Shut up.”
Tony looked quite embarrassed by my reaction.
Understandably, even the adult nannies and knights in the castle have a hard time with them. It was absurd that his younger brother, who was one year younger than him, was so strong.
“… Are you crazy? “Are you telling me to shut up now?”
“Brother, I think that guy is out of his mind, so I think I need to show him what he’s doing.
“That’s right, why don’t you break your fingers? No, no, let’s pull out all your teeth so you can’t say anything weird!”
Is this really a conversation between a six-year-old? They were indeed guys worth stepping on.
Tony stepped closer to me, as if putting pressure on me.
“Dean, aren’t you answering? Are you crazy? Ah – I understand. Is that because you don’t have a mother? I heard you died while giving birth. “Well, since I don’t have a mother, I can’t help but go crazy!”
After that, no answer came out of my mouth.
Tony’s eyes flashed. After a dull sound of ‘pow!’ came from his mouth, my indiscriminate fist pumping began.
Blood flowed from his burst lip and his broken front teeth fell to the ground.
“Huh.”
Tony groaned and looked arrogant. Ronnie and Johnny tried to stop me late, but they couldn’t stop me with their strength.
I am not just strong. The combat sense developed on the battlefield itself is of a different level.
So much so that kids this age can’t get over it.
“You three, I won’t let you fuss again.”
In an instant, I punched each of the three brothers in the ribs. He stepped on Tony’s solar plexus, grabbed Ronnie and Johnny’s heads, and made them headbutt each other.
A short, dull ‘pop’ sound was heard.
“evil!”
“evil!”
Ronnie and Johnny grabbed their heads at the same time.
“Dean, you son of a bitch!”

Tony rushed towards me as if screaming.
Aaaah-!
“You fell behind, really!”
Did he want to fight back somehow? He engaged in behavior that was considered taboo within the family.
Bae Hu-ryeong must not be summoned within the castle. This is a matter that can lead to summary disposition if there is no reasonable cause.
This is a rule set by the head of the family, Lois, so it must not be broken.
Unless you want to grow up outside his eyes in the future.
Nevertheless, Tony summoned Bae Hu-ryeong.
Ssssss-
Gas puffed out from behind Tony and Bae Hu-ryeong appeared.
Gary, the King of the West, is said to have once roamed the battlefield without armor with a body as strong as steel.
A large, muscular man with a bushy beard that reached down to his chest glared at me.
“You’re dead!”
Tony swept his blood-stained face with his palm.
He pointed his finger at me with an expression full of anger and summoned Bae Hu-ryeong into his body.
Hiss!
In an instant, Tony’s body became muscular.
‘You idiot.’
You are falling into the abyss yourself.
I can’t believe you did something like that even though you knew who my Bae Hu-ryeong was.
“Bae Hu-ryeong, you took it out first.”
* * *
A tower filled with monsters so strong that most adventurers can’t even approach them.
And those who have the desire to become strong by receiving blessings from the ‘God’ who is the owner of this place.
One of them is ‘Lois de Strange’. The guardian knight of the main family came to meet him while he was training.
There was only one reason: to report on the fight between Verdin and his brothers.
“Dean took on three people alone.”
“yes.”
“And Tony summoned Bae Hu-ryeong from within the castle?”
“… That’s right.”
Lois stroked her chin with an interested expression.
“Is there anyone dead?”
The guardian knight answered with a very nervous expression.
“no! “Tony, Johnny, and Ronnie all suffered broken arms and legs, but their injuries are not life-threatening.”
“What about Dean?”
“Master Dean said there were no injuries.”
“okay?”
“Yes, according to the nanny. After fighting with other masters. He went back to the bedroom and said, ‘It’s been a while since I played and I’m hungry.’ You said… .”
The guardian knight’s answer made the corners of Lois’ mouth shake.
But a smile appeared on his face only for a moment. After thinking about something, Lois spoke to the Guardian Knight with a cold expression.
“I get it. “Then you must immediately find Valentine and tell him.”
“You mean Valentine?”
“Okay, I can’t go to the castle because my training isn’t over yet. “I tell you to handle this matter for me.”
“… All right.”
“And, if you tried to harm someone by using Bae Hu-ryeong within the castle, you will have to be punished accordingly.”
Lois handed the dagger from her waist to the Guardian Knight with a meaningful expression.
“Please tell this to Valentine as well.”
* * *
A week has passed since the fight with my brother.
As expected, my father didn’t care about this incident.
I expected to receive at least a warning, but there was no response whatsoever.
Since he is a person who believes that only the strong survive, he probably thinks of fights like this as just child’s play or a process of learning how to survive.
‘Those guys could have died if they made a mistake.’
Ssssssssssssshhhh!
As I was continuing my thoughts, my Siegfried Bae Hu-ryeong turned into a huge flame and set his body on fire.
I know why he behaves this way. Right now he doesn’t have a contract with me.
However, he is acting like this to express his dissatisfaction because I used his power.
‘I can’t help it.’
Because the time is not yet right.
There was a good reason why I didn’t sign with him. There are restrictions when signing a contract with Bae Hu-ryeong.
Knights cannot learn mana after unlocking Aura.
Likewise, wizards cannot learn Auror after unlocking mana.
In the end, if you make a contract with Bae Hu-ryeong, the door to your latent energy will naturally open, and you will be forced to choose whether to use mana or auror power.
‘Until now.’
I plan to learn both Mana and Auror.
To that end, the contract with Siegfried was postponed. Of course, it was semi-forced, regardless of his will.
No one knows it now, but soon new forms of technology will be discovered.
A transcendent power that uses two types of energy, Aura and Mana, at the same time.
Of course, in this day and age, no one has such technology.
This is because the battle for supremacy between our ‘Stranger’ family, known as the master swordsman, and the ‘Glazer’ family, known as the master magic family, must end before we can enter the world.
After learning mana, the knight makes a contract with Bae Hu-ryeong, who grants him an auror.
After learning Auror, the wizard makes a contract with Bae Hu-ryeong, who grants mana.
Only by following this order can two types of energy be contained in one body.
Ultimately, this means that it is only possible if the knight and wizard share the method of awakening each other.
‘and… .’
Even if they know how, there are very few people who can use Aura and Mana at the same time.
In order to use the two powers together, mana and aura must be separated into the head and heart, but if this fails, one of the two will burst and die.
Therefore, he either had to be extremely talented and use his excellent senses to separate the two energy flows, or he had to learn the complex separation and control technique devised by the Glazer family’s great mage.
‘Of course I can do both.’
Ssssss.
I concentrated my mind and gathered energy into my palms. Although I did not master mana in my previous life, I did learn how to unlock it.
It was a method I learned while researching how to kill wizards more efficiently.
A creeping blue gas was formed and then dispersed in the wind that blew through the window.
It is still absurdly insufficient to be called mana. Mana is unlocked only when the blue-colored liquid flows down in a sticky manner.
“!$!&!!!”
Siegfried opened his mouth wide and shouted as if in protest.
Oh, should I say I just smiled? Because he hasn’t signed yet, so his voice can’t be heard.
“Not yet. “Just wait a little longer.”
“$^&!!!”
Siegfried has a fiery personality.
Even though I had briefly explained why I was not signing the contract, he shoved a long contract in front of my face with a dissatisfied expression on his face.
If a third party saw it, it felt like it would hit me in the face.
“… “It will be over soon.”
I continued speaking, blooming mana seeds again on the tips of my fingers.
sssss-
“Dinner tonight at the earliest, lunch at the earliest. “As soon as I open the mana, I will sign a contract right away, so don’t be impatient.”
As long as you master mana like this. Two powers can be used simultaneously.
In that case, among the countless knights and wizards on the continent, only I will be able to meet the two Bae Hu-ryeong.
‘First and last.’
Since I’m back again.
This method will not be known in the future.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
I quickly hid my mana and grabbed a random book and opened it.
Sigh.
“Come in-”
But before I could finish speaking.
“I’m going in.”
The person outside the door answered and entered the room.
‘… This voice.’
Rattling.
‘Valentine de Strange.’
And the three trash brothers who followed her.
‘Why did they come together?’
