Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 317
[Abduction 1. Decent parent ]
# A1
“Uh ha… It’s been a while here.”
Ronan, who had climbed to the top of the hill, stretched. Soft fluffy clouds like flocks of sheep roamed the blue sky. When he lowered his gaze, he saw the familiar scene of Nimburton.
‘Nothing has changed. That’s why it’s good.’
It had been almost half a year since I came back to my hometown. The smell of grass mixed with the wind was familiar. Ronan turned and placed his hand on an oak tree growing on top of the hill.
“I couldn’t come because I was too busy. How have you been?”
A small tombstone was placed under a giant tree that had looked over Nimburton for hundreds of years. The name engraved in the imperial language was written by Ronan himself. With careful movements, he brushed off the dust and leaves from the tombstone.
“huh? father.”
No answer came back. It was natural. saver. No, it’s already been two years since Cain died. Ronan put down his backpack and sat down next to the tombstone.
“So how do you like the view here?”
Ronan asked. After the war with Nebula Clazier, he built Cain’s tomb here in Nimburton. It was the spot where I watched the sunset with my family in a kaleidoscope.
“It’s definitely a nice town. I failed in educating my younger brother, but I managed to get the house quite well. I’ll admit it.”
Moving his gaze down the hill, Ronan nodded. The emperor offered to bury the body in the temple where all the meritorious subjects were buried, but Ronan refused.
The green vegetation and the river that winds through the village have not changed from when Ronan was a snoring man. Suddenly feeling his ass getting wet, he swears.
“Ah shit. I forgot it was a school uniform.”
The frost in the morning had melted and the grass was wet. The school uniform pants that Adeshan had ironed were probably getting wet in a mess even at this moment. Thoughtful, Ronan let out a deep sigh.
“Eh… I don’t have anything to wear anymore anyway. I hope you won’t get scolded.”
Ronan finally decided to sit still. I could have taken it out and worn it again when I wanted to taste a different kind of pleasure with Adeshan, but that was something to see then. As he stroked the tombstone, he opened his mouth.
“Nothing else, I graduated today. And also with Schlieffen as co-chief.”
Ronan, who was rummaging through his backpack, took out his diploma. The luxurious paper was decorated with a gold border symbolizing the chief of the martial arts department.
“That bastard got dirty. I don’t know if it’s the power of love or what, but I almost lost.”
Reminiscing about his graduation fight with Schlieffen, Ronan laughed. Schlieffen, who had seen swords face to face for the first time in a while, had become so strong that it would be rude to compare them with before.
‘Crazy man. No matter how much you want to look good for your sister, there is a limit. Wrapping the entire Phileon in a whirlwind.’
Thinking back on it, it was a crazy confrontation. For the first time since the war, Ronan even activated his aura and entered the match.
All the magicians of the academy were mobilized to prevent the two attackers from leaking into the stands. They put all their efforts into each other before being ruled a draw due to overtime. Ronan murmured in exhaustion.
“I guarantee that he will defeat Zaifa within a year. It’s not the best sword on the continent for nothing. Well, first of all, this is the end… Let’s see.”
Suddenly, Ronan, who was rummaging through his backpack, took out a bottle of alcohol. A chunk the size of an egg came off and fell to the floor, but he didn’t notice. He said.
“Coming to think of it, the two of us have never had a drink. Let’s have a drink.”
It was the perennial fable soaked wine that Jaifa had received not too long ago. After opening the lid, Ronan poured about half of the contents onto the tombstone.
It was an expensive item that could be exchanged for four or five horses, but it didn’t matter anyway. Ronan, who took one last drink, said while wiping his mouth with his sleeve.
“Kha tastes good, right? After all, I didn’t do anything like this.”
My esophagus felt like it was on fire, but that was the charm. Ronan sipped his drink and looked around at Nimburton.
There was no change in the scenery itself, but it was noticeable that the number of people walking around increased significantly. If you listened, you could hear them chattering with excitement.
“Oh my God, three heroes were born in such an ordinary town. Is there even a dragon buried in the ground?”
“This is the potato field that Lady Irill managed directly. Hey, when will I be able to try his stew? You don’t even take reservations.”
“Ah, are there still potatoes left? If that’s the case, take a sneak peek…”
“Come on. Apparently, this place is being protected by Asher’s magic. Will your whole body freeze the moment you step in?”
Most of them came to see Ronan and Iril Asher’s hometown. The three of them had already become heroes who saved the world, and were celebrities known to all over the continent. Ronan, who watched the scene, smiled.
“There is something to see. These are people who have nothing to do.”
The house where Ronan lived in the past was crowded with tourists because it was the birthplace of a hero. Taking another sip of his drink, he leaned back against the tombstone.
The wind was strong, and the sheep in the sky were moving quite fast. I felt like I could talk now that I was drunk. After being silent for a long time, Ronan opened his mouth.
“Yes. I became a father too.”
Shoot – the wind shakes the leaves. It was a month ago that Adeshan found out she was pregnant.
“To be exact, I’ll have to wait a little longer…well anyway.”
I couldn’t remember exactly how long it would take for the baby to come out of my stomach. I could still see Adeshan jumping up and down with joy. Ronan took out a pipe and put it in his mouth.
“I was thinking of having a baby, damn it, but I didn’t know it would happen this soon. We should get married before we get too full. It would be difficult for Adeshan to get into strange gossip… Ah, don’t get me wrong. Because it’s never something you have to do. He is someone I really love.”
Ronan emitted pure white smoke. In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that the days after living with Adeshan were the happiest parts of his life.
“Anyway, at this rate, I’m going to get married before my sister. damn can you believe it? To think that this idiot who drank and peed in the barracks became a married man… So, there’s something I want to ask you.”
do you have a family In my first life, it was completely unimaginable. After emptying the remaining alcohol, Ronan said as if regurgitating.
“Can I be a good father?”
Again, no answer came back. Cain was already dead, so it was natural. No matter how much I talked to him as if he were a living person, that fact did not change.
In the ensuing silence, Ronan smiled bitterly. There were times when I resented him, but looking back, Cain was a pretty good father. During their short time together, he left unforgettable memories in Ronan’s heart.
Thoughts of what it would have been like if we had had a little more time came creeping up. For a moment, Ronan’s eyes darkened.
“Eight damn it.”
Moving his gaze to the sky, Ronan blinked. I couldn’t show an embarrassing face in front of someone who was facing a better end than anyone else. He stayed in his seat for a while before getting up.
“…Then I’ll go soon. Adeshan is waiting for you.”
Ronan put the empty bottle in his backpack. After clearing the grass around him, he walked down the hill.
“I might come with my grandchildren next time.”
Ronan waved his hand without turning his head. The orb that fell from the backpack was not noticed until the end. He was on his way down the hill. A familiar voice came from not far away.
“Oh Ronan!”
“ok?”
Ronan turned his head. Adeshan was coming up the hill. His black hair, down to his waist, swayed like a brush dipped in ink.
“Why did you come up because you’re going down soon? Even though the body is heavy.”
Ronan frowned. I’m coming back for a while, so I told you to have a cup of cocoa at the teahouse.
Stepping closer, he took off his coat and threw it over Adeshan’s shoulder. She opened her collar and smiled.
“My baby is still fine. Anyway, Ronan is too overprotective.”
“You have to be careful though. What if I fall?”
“But I wanted to show my kid Daddy’s hometown. right? Did you miss it too?”
Adeshan smiled as he stroked his belly. She usually liked to wear smart clothes, but ever since she had children, she always wore loose-fitting clothes.
‘Is this the mother?’
Ronan let out a silent exclamation. I haven’t even been full yet, but this kind of sincerity.
Thinking about something, Ronan took out a pipe from his inside pocket and held it up. Then he grabbed the ends with both hands and broke them. Kwajik! Surprised by the cheerful sound, Adeshan raised her eyebrows.
“Why is it suddenly?”
“It’s not good for you and the kid. I have to cut it off soon.”
said Ronan. Adeshan, who was dumbfounded, smiled bashfully. The two walked arm in arm into the village.
“I never thought we would get married first. I definitely thought that Schlieffen and Iril would be faster.”
“That kid is a long way off. We don’t even live in the same house yet, so what?”
“Hehe, but where did you officially get engaged?”
Adeshan pulled his arms tighter. The relationship between Iril and Schlieffen was one of the best gossips, making not only them but the entire empire agitated. Ronan giggled as he recalled the faces of his friends.
“It is Asher who has a better chance. Is Marja a normal kid? If you think you’re going to be squeezed by that huge breast every day…”
Ronan, who suddenly continued talking, shut his mouth. I felt a creepy gaze right next to me. When he glanced around, he saw Adeshan glaring at him with his hatchet eye raised.
“…Yes, sorry. chest. Boobs, not tits.”
“huh. It should be.”
Adeshan’s eyes softened at Ronan’s hasty correction. I forgot about my promise to refrain from using profane language in front of my child. Looking down at her chest, she pouted and murmured.
“Could it be that mine isn’t enough or something like that? Even if I’m not as good as Instructor Nabi Rose or Marya, I’m quite…”
“No way, ma’am. If it’s too big, even the child will feel burdened.”
“good. That’s an answer I really like.”
Adeshan giggled. The two arrived at the riverside before they knew it. Schools of trout were swimming beneath the surface of the water the same color as the sky. I was just about to climb onto the raft.
“Yes. Ronan.”
“ok?”
“Can I be a good mother?”
Ronan turned his head. Adeshan’s eyes looking at the river were dripping with worry.
Although she had saved the world by commanding 100,000 allied troops together, being a mother was another thing. Ronan’s eyes widened at the intense sense of deja vu.
‘aha. Was it like this?’
It was the same question as the one he asked earlier. Ronan, who was silent for a moment, smiled. Unlike his father, the living himself could answer that question.
“then. of course.”
Ronan took Adeshan’s hand. The anxious expression on his face softened. Climbing on the raft together, he continued.
“We can be good parents. maybe.”
