Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 118

Episode 118 Haak. Mandible.

“I’m getting used to this crazy shit. I’m sad.”

“Instead of saying what I want to say, thank you… wow.”

As soon as they arrived at the town’s knights’ training hall, they lined up.

Most of the knights had no intention of getting up until the servants who had been waiting for the horses, which were purring and standing up, gathered together and dragged them away.

However, even in that situation, some of them were forced to stand up and slowly warm up, and one guy was even looking for a wooden sword again.

“Those poisonous things.”

“Are you poisonous or crazy? That’s going to hurt your body.”

“I guess they’re not at their limit yet.”

“Ugh monsters.”

The minimum age of a layman is usually over 30.

This was natural given the nature of the period when not only the McLane Knights but most of the knights were awakening.

So the three people, who were still in their teens, had no choice but to stand out.

Most of the McLane knights who went through the war together accepted and recognized the three as future aces, but others who saw them for the first time had a completely different impression.

“Aren’t they little kids? They don’t look like they’ve grown up.”

“Are they geniuses?”

“Even one of them is a woman… and a beauty.”

At the end, Dylan, who had blurted out nonsense without realizing it, was frowned upon and frowned upon, but all three had the same impression up to this point.

‘amazing.’

Ronian Victor Eilen. He received training first and seemed to be in the best condition.

Their young appearance led to gender bias.

And in that situation, Heinkel said something.

“The test is simple. You just have to choose one of the knights and prove your skills. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. As long as you prove your skills, you will pass. Well, among our knights, those three are the best.”

As soon as they heard that sound, their eyes couldn’t help but turn to the trio of ‘young knights’ who were warming up.

‘No matter how genius you are, at that age.’

Moreover, it is right after the training, which is tiring to watch.

‘He must have been exhausted.’

The result is that the common sense they have accumulated throughout their lives and the prejudice created by their appearances obscure the reality they see before their eyes.

The three people chose the trio at the same time, and Heinkel immediately nodded as if he had expected it.

“This is a new sparring match. The nominated opponent is Ronian Victor Eilen. There are three.”

Again?

The moment Ronian heard Heinkel’s voice, Ronian’s expression slightly distorted.

The number of new drivers has increased significantly recently.

And the sparring after training, which consisted of a test with bad taste from the leader.

Most of them chose Viktor or Eilen, whether it was through trickery or Heinkel’s recommendation…

and the rest chose themselves.

always.

‘Maybe I should do less because I know I’m part of the McLane family.’

Otherwise, there would have been more cases where he would have been nominated as the first choice.

To be honest, I couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Because it means that it still looks easy.

‘I’m growing a little bit, but…’

I’m still not taller than my older brother, who is around 180cm, let alone my father who is close to 2m tall.

If only I had been a little taller…

“No, no. I just looked easy. I’m still weak.”

The knights lying nearby were startled by the mutterings meant to boost their fighting spirit.

“Ooh we’re not!”

“Little Confucius. We will never…!”

“What nonsense…”

Currently, the number one person in the McLane Knights’ list of people to avoid sparring with is neither ‘Grey Devil’ Viktor nor ‘Berserker’ Eilen, but this scientist who looks gentle at first glance.

“If you look weak, you will become a burden to your brother…”

“I’m out.”

“Those words. Ah…”

“Ugh. It’s creepy.”

It was ‘our older brother’ Ronian.

Every time Little Confucius said that, someone was carried away and could not return for a long time.

A funny but not funny nickname came about because of that.

Ronian left the tired expressions of the knights behind and walked towards the faces he had never seen before.

“I have no regrets, but I just wanted to prove my skills…”

“That’s it. Wow.”

Crack.

When Ronian, who had an expressionless face, snapped his wooden sword, Dylan’s face distorted.

Since he was the little prince of the territory, I tried to score points by dealing with him appropriately, considering his tired body.

If you ignore things like this, the story has changed.

‘I have pride too.’

Dylan bit his lip and grabbed the wooden sword.

‘I’ll teach you how wide the world is, noble master.’

And without any spirit, they quickly narrowed the distance and came in.

His specialty is his lightning walk, which earned him the nickname “Swift Sword” from his former colleagues.

He once defeated a mid-level knight with a surprise attack using this specialty.

Even more so if the child is in such an exhausted state…

Baaaaaaaa!

As expected, the strong hitting sound made him smile.

however.

I flinch.

‘Why am I hurting…’

After realizing that my face, which was trying to smile, was convulsing, an intense pain struck me.

Only then did he realize that his wooden sword had narrowly missed hitting the opponent’s head.

And by then, his vision had already become hazy.

‘Oh, no. Just a little more….’

Shake it off.

“Little Confucius. How do you feel?”

“Your footwork was good.”

“hmm.”

Heinkel smiled and nodded at those words.

Simply, ‘It’s garbage.’ ‘throw away.’ It was a much better answer than answers like, etc.

‘This guy passed.’

An evaluation given by someone close to a colleague (?) would be more heartbreaking to the knights who were watching in silence than an evaluation by oneself, who is obviously a much more expert person.

And it will be more helpful for the new knights to get along with the existing knights.

That’s why I insisted on this sparring recently.

“next!”

Heinkel gestured to Tenan and Jacob, whose expressions hardened at their colleague’s pointless defeat.

By now, you must be painfully aware that the choice you made due to subtle encouragement and atmosphere was wrong.

‘It’s already too late.’

Tenan lost his sword after engaging with Viktor and fell to the floor.

Jacob laughed heartily as he looked at Eilen, but after getting hit dozens of times, his entire body turned limp and he was carried away.

‘This guy has a poor mental state, so he fails.’

Even today, the young blood of McLane is growing and the number of knights has increased.

‘MacLane is growing even at this moment, Grand Duke.’

Everything is satisfactory now.

I couldn’t help but think of the protagonist who brought about all these changes.

I was a little worried about his absence for longer than expected.

But fortunately, the moment he thought that.

The party was already in town.

* * *

“Nothing happened?”

“Is that surprising?”

“No, it’s strange that it’s quiet.”

“It looks like you were hoping something would happen?”

“No. It’s just strange that it’s been quiet so far. It’d be nice if it didn’t show up.”

“Yes? What now?”

“That’s it. Go do your business!”

“Confucius?! Confucius….”

Boom.

Logan shook off his extreme laughter and tilted his head.

‘I think it’s past time for a response.’

I just feel uneasy because something that is about to explode is not happening.

Actually, it was nice that nothing much happened.

Thinking that he might have been overly worried, Logan washed his body and left the room again.

When I got back, I tried to rest, but even though I wanted to rest, I was so curious that I ended up moving again.

Logan lightly picked up the large bundle that had been with him for the past 10 days and walked towards the town’s central magic tower.

Rumble.

“What is all this?”

“Ah, these are research materials and books from a wizard’s lab. I brought them in case you might be interested.”

He said that, but his facial expression clearly showed that he was more interested.

“…Can I confirm what it says?”

“Hmm. Well, if the data has potential, you can research it yourself. As long as you get good results, we will compensate you as much as you want.”

“Isn’t this like confidential data from another magic tower?”

“Absolutely! No. It belongs to a wizard who died while arguing with me.”

Of course, I went there first.

Logan grinned while hiding his true feelings, and Clayton laughed helplessly when he saw his employer laughing while talking about killing people and stealing things.

“Yes. Well, then there won’t be any problem.”

“Then please do me a favor.”

“Yes. Leave it to me.”

Clayton smiled and turned around, but the feeling of popularity behind his back did not change.

When he turned his head, he saw his employer staring at him.

“…Aren’t you going? Do you have anything else to do?”

“Ah… can’t you find out right away? That data?”

The moment Clayton heard that carefree tone, he started crying without realizing it.

“Right now, Confucius is busy developing the bomb. If we research this together, it will be much later, so is that okay?”

The stress built up over that damn bomb came out in a twisted tone.

I thought that if I said this, he would naturally step down.

The answer was different from what I expected.

“Hmm. That’s okay. First, please see if there is anything useful in this research log.”

Clayton was convinced by those words.

‘You disappeared to get this.’

It didn’t seem to be true that someone had started a fight and killed him and robbed him.

‘Well, if you kill everyone just because they’re arguing, you’re crazy.’

Clayton nodded with a sigh, keeping in mind the fact that his employer enjoyed telling jokes.

“Let’s start by looking at this research data as quickly as possible. Is that okay?”

“Please do me a favor.”

Only then did Logan turn around and Clayton shook his head and sat down in front of the desk with the materials.

But just three days later.

“Awesome! Awesome! Mr. Logan!”

An excited Clayton knocked on Logan’s door first.

“…Is there a problem?”

“The material you brought! I think it could revolutionize the magic world!”

Logan’s face turned bright red at Clayton’s shout.

However, Clayton’s expression was not all that good.

“But there is one problem.”

“Yes? Problem?”

“This is really, really important, so you need to be honest, Logan.”

Logan swallowed his saliva without realizing it, looking extremely nervous.

“You tell me.”

“You really didn’t bring this from another magic tower?”

What else can I say?

Logan, feeling helpless, smiled and shook his head.

“Absolutely not.”

“Huh…”

Despite his confirmation, Clayton’s expression did not change, so Logan had no choice but to ask back.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Actually, this is the content, but it is definitely not on a scale where you can experiment on your own. No matter how genius you are, there are limits to what you can do on your own… Ha…” “

What are you talking about? I promise on my honor that it will never be another magic tower.”

Even though Logan declared so, Clayton hesitated for a while.

Then, he spoke again in a very cautious tone.

“It is a method of permanently granting magical power to ordinary metal. There are still many loopholes, but the basic framework is in place. If only this were completed…”

‘It’s done!’

The theory created by the massacre mage came into his possession intact.

In addition,

“Also, this incomplete theory alone seems to be enough to make significant progress in creating the bomb that Confucius spoke of.”

Looking at Clayton’s nervous eyes, Logan silently cheered. screamed.
