blind trust (2)

Outside Dmitry Castle.

Kevin was born there.

He lived in a shabby shack that could not even be called a home, and he followed his parents to make a living while helping his parents at a young age.

Starting with simple errands, there was nothing he didn't try.

Such was the life of the poor, and he did not dare to wish for the goal of being born as a boy and fulfilling his big dreams.

just.

I just wanted to live like everyone else.

Rather than the life of a hero from a fairy tale, I hoped for a life where I didn't have to worry about tomorrow's meal.

so that.

Rumble.

"Whoop, whoop."

My hands trembled.

A cold sweat was running down his forehead, and his view of his arms was blurred with vertigo.

own arm.

Is it ok to cut?

Roman did not force a choice.

The choice to follow Hans is a life that fits his dream, but Kevin can't shake the day he first met Roman.

Roman was strong.

He was a man who could take responsibility for his words, and he casually subjugated the existence of Blood Fang, which he could not dare to touch.

It was great.

that there is power.

He lived a life he was used to losing all the time, so he couldn't ignore this moment with Kevin.

'Master Roman promised me a new life. So, you have to become the person you need.'

messed it up

And then.

Aww!

"Great!"

cut off his arm

The sensation of a sharp sword piercing through the flesh, the mind that I had been accustomed to suffering from seemed to fly away at once.

The problem was that he hadn't cut off his arm yet.

The blade Roman threw at him was blunt, and as a young boy with weak physical strength, it took dozens of saws to cut through the hard bones.

Crackle, wiggle.

A dull sound was heard.

It was the sound of forcibly cutting the bones, a sound that just gave me goosebumps.

Kevin's face went red as if it was about to explode, and he didn't even know what he was doing.

but.

was just doing

said Roman.

that you can be strong

For the first time in a situation called a "dream", Kevin suppressed the pain and repressed it.

And finally.

tuk.

arm cut off

Power was completely drained from his body, and Kevin couldn't control himself and fell into a pool of blood.

That was then.

Everything disappeared like a mirage.

Blood splattered on the floor.

The arm that rolled over it.

And even the pain that rips through my head.

I don't know how this happened, but what is certain is that he passed the third option.

"From now on, you will live as a single sword that will replace me."

The world has changed.

Kevin rose to his feet with a spirit that had not yet recovered, and fell on his face toward Roman.

"Follow the command of the lord."

Roman.

Only following him was the direction of his life in the future.

Break up with Kevin.

Seeing Roman returning to the room, Hans ran out with a fuss.

"No, Master! Where are you hurt? Blood on the sword, on the sword!"

It's nothing.

However ."

"Hans."

Hans, who was looking around Roman's body with a worried face, slowly moved his hand away at the resolute voice.

Roman is a strong man.

Roman, who did not blink an eye even after subjugating Blood Fang, realized that he was making a fuss.

And there were no visible wounds. In other words, the blood on Roman's sword belonged to someone else.

eating.

'Damn boy.'

Roman laughed.

Working with Kevin.

Roman didn't really want to cut off Kevin's arm.

It was meant to test his will with a temporary illusion, but Kevin slashed his arm before he could fall into the illusion.

The result was blood on the sword.

Fortunately, the sword did not penetrate the flesh completely due to the intermittent difference, but even if the magic of Hwanma was a little weak, the arm would have been cut off completely.

was poisonous

He wasn't the type of genius that is often said, but his will was so great that there was no rival.

And.

Seeing Kevin swearing his allegiance, Roman spoke in a blunt tone.

"The mana method I will tell you in the future is a very dangerous force. When your achievements are low, the pain isn't too bad, but the stronger you get, the more you have to bear the pain you just experienced. And yet, there is only one reason why I am showing you this method. This is a way for a boy in his mid-teens who does not even know the basics of mana to quickly become strong, and if you master this technique to the fullest, you will have the strength to protect your surroundings."

ear mage.

Since the description of this world cannot fully explain it, I put a plausible wrapping paper called Mana Simbeop.

at that word.

Kevin was thrilled.

In this world, the mana mind method is not a world that the insignificant commoners have access to.

Although the risk was great, when he said that Roman would teach him how to do it himself, Kevin had no choice but to doubt the reality.

Roman was a good person.

He saved himself from being beaten, subjugated Blood Fang, and presented a previously unimaginable future to himself, a mere commoner.

why.

Why do you believe in yourself?

He might learn the mental trick and run away, but he couldn't understand why Roman believed him blindly.

So I asked.

"Why do you trust me?"

Roman laughed.

Kevin's words.

It was like a lighthouse.

Once upon a time, Guangma was also an ordinary boy, and he was not given a chance to encounter the ancient martial arts.

He was also able to learn ghost magic through Roman.

At first, he did not take Roman's consideration seriously, but after years of subjugating Moorim, Gwangma asked the reason for his blind trust.

The answer was simple.

'In order to receive blind trust, I must first trust the other person. Even if I am betrayed.'

that belief.

it is blind

It's not about having a reason, it's about believing.

But Roman did not explain it to Kevin.

Blind trust loses its value the moment it becomes rhetorical.

And Roman never worried about betrayal in his life.

The stronger and stronger those who follow him, the bigger their heads grow.

You will see how dangerous it is to betray a man named Baek Jung-hyuk.

so that.

I just ended the conversation with the words.

And now Roman stared intently at the sword.

I saw a light horse from a blood-stained sword, and from now on, I will have a relationship with a child named Kevin who resembles a light horse.

"I will be busy in the future."

2 weeks until the party.

About 6 months until the war.

From now on, I have a lot to teach Kevin.

* * *

Time is relative.

While Kevin began to lead a fierce life, Chris had a boring day that made him wonder if this could be done.

Bored.

Only yawning dozens of times.

Chris saw Roman and Kevin from a distance.

"Everything is about the foundation."

"Even if you do one thing, do it right."

"Don't lose your concentration."

It was really rude.

I knew what he was doing, but I couldn't understand it.

'Why on earth do you pick up a strange kid from somewhere and teach them swordsmanship?'

A great genius would understand.

However, Kevin was not a great genius, nor was his status so great that he was asked to teach.

one commoner.

Besides, until he was ignorant of swordsmanship.

A sigh came out.

Even when I was following Roman, I couldn't have imagined a picture like the one I have now.

'I thought that if you follow Master Roman, you will learn the secret to becoming strong in a short time. But what is this? He never taught me anything like Kevin did, and he treats me like someone who doesn't exist. In that case, it would be beneficial to swing the sword one more time by Master's side.'

My stomach was boiling.

When the sky-breathing wind pierced my teeth, I wanted to run to Roman and make a sound of whale whales.

I endured it though.

because I decided to follow.

If you wait patiently, I thought that you would look after yourself.

But.

"Hey, fuck you."

widely!

I threw my gloves on the ground.

It's been a week already.

Not being able to contain his anger at the sight of abandoning himself and teaching only Kevin, Chris approached Roman and said,

"Master Roman."

" ?"

"It has been over two weeks since I started following Roman. Among them, one week was wasted due to the closing practice, and the rest of the week was pushed by Kevin to just watch the practice. If it is because I am not happy with being sloppy in the first place, I sincerely apologize. So, please teach me something like Kevin. I am confident that I will learn really hard about any teaching."

The will was great.

Seeing how he was expressing his will, Roman turned his gaze away from Kevin and stared at Chris.

"Did I not tell you? Look around me and learn."

" Was it really meant to be 'seeing' and learning? Aren't you supposed to teach me something special?

Chris was astonished.

What does this mean?

He thought that learning around him meant teaching, but he could not accept this reality at all.

young master! Even though I suffered a disastrous defeat in Dalian, I am a person who reached the level of 2 stars at the age of mid-twenties. I can't help but ruin my talent, which the world calls a genius.

The backlash was fierce.

As Chris raised his voice as if he would not back down, Roman swallowed a laugh.

It was as expected.

I didn't think Chris would put up with neglect forever.

said Roman.

"Everyone has their own way. Because Kevin is ignorant, he needs someone to set the right frame for him from start to finish until he reaches a certain level. but you are different No matter what instruction I give you, you don't really understand it, but because I am the one who defeated you, you will try to swallow it. And your talents will backfire."

" So, are you telling me to keep watching?"

no.

Roman waited.

Let Chris react.

Now is the time to show reality to those who choose to follow you.

"In order to accept reality, we need definite results. What do you think? Trying to play a substitute match with Kevin. If you think you are right even after surrogacy, from then on, let me teach you directly."

Roman's suggestion.

It was beyond common sense.

Deputy Dalian.

It was an unfamiliar word.

Chris' doubts were quickly resolved with Roman's explanation.

"The meaning of Dalian by proxy is simple. Kevin goes against the match, but I'll tell Kevin how to defeat you during the match. So, prove your will by defeating Kevin, the 'avatar' that replaces me."

Roman's words.

It was crazy.

And, I was angry.

' Do this?

He admitted that he was defeated by Roman.

Every morning, when I looked in the mirror, I looked at my flat, empty teeth and reminisced about that moment countless times.

But.

this is not

The opponent is a beginner who doesn't even know the basics.

Whether it was a substitute battle or whatever, his defeat made no sense.

'Yeah, breaking my teeth isn't enough, you're going to tame me, right? What you want is blind loyalty. But I'm not that fussy. Even if it hurts you, the eldest son of Lord Dmitry, even if you are treated like this, you can't stand it.'

The eyebrows went up.

I wanted to do well.

After speaking bitterly to Master and leaving the Knights Templar, I had a great desire to accomplish anything and return.

And.

I spent two weeks with no income.

The dissatisfaction that had been barely suppressed exploded at Roman's hostility.

Okay. Let's stick together. I'm going to show you that I'm not a good person this time.

Chris thought.

as much this time.

It will be different from the last Dalian.
