Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 65

The youngest son of the magic family, Episode 65,

the letter wasn’t that long.

[…and thus order you to return to your home.]

At the end, the handwritten signature of the head of the family, Decatra, was included. In this world, ‘Decatra’s handwritten signature’ has more power than any other signature.

‘I have to go back to my hometown.’

I already expected it when I turned 14. Members of the Mayton family undergo a decennial ceremony at the age of 10 and are given the name ‘Pilgrim’ at the age of 14. Children of the Mayton family undergo a pilgrimage ceremony from the age of 14 to 16. At that time, he gets the opportunity to grow on his own, both inside and outside the family, without being hindered by his brothers.

Larsen’s room.

Kashin sat down on Larsen’s bed. Kashin asked.

“What is a pilgrim?”

A concept that does not exist in Sayga. Larsen explained simply.

“I was given the opportunity to travel around the world for two years, acquire artifacts, and grow in my own way. You can run through dungeons or explore ancient civilizations. “You can follow in the footsteps of the gods.”

“Are you training outside the world?”

“yes.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“To give me a chance to make my own move outside of the family?”

‘Pilgrims’ are not attacked in any way. At least for the brothers.

“Being safe from my brothers, who are actually my worst enemies. And you can become stronger in your own way.”

In the meantime, you can move around and do what you want. Of course, you shouldn’t play and eat. If you don’t build a solid foundation here, you’ll be purged before you come of age. Like the original character Larsen Mayton.

“It’s kind of sad that brothers are enemies.”

“Because that’s our Mayton family.”

Kashin got off the bed. I looked at Larsen blankly.

“Even if we go back to our hometown, we are still friends. know?”

“then.”

Kashin drew his sword. His famous sword ‘Suho’, which was once said to be able to cut even steel, was pulled out with a clear sword sound. Kashin’s face was reflected on the silver blade. Like a mirror.

“Would you like to have a dance together?”

“Is it raining now?”

“It doesn’t matter, right? “We just have to fight until all the rain evaporates.”

Larsen shook his head.

‘That’s Kashin’s unique way of expressing affection.’

Kashin does not ask anyone for secret service. Especially in rainy situations. Rain is an unfavorable condition for a competitive dance. Kashin will not apply for a job under these adverse conditions unless he is someone he truly feels close to.

“I recently learned a new skill.”

“New technology?”

What skills did 14-year-old Kashin Sayed have that he could master? Larsen took a moment to remember. I think around this time, I’m learning the Seid family’s guardian sword techniques.

“I have completed the first form of Seid’s Guardian Sword Art.”

“…Is that so?”

“Actually, I finished it three days ago, but I haven’t used it in practice yet.”

The reason I say this is simple. I want to show you this sword technique that I completed for the first time. I want you to be my first dance partner. Please check my sword skills. Because you are the friend I cherish and love the most. That’s what I’m saying.

Larsen sighed.

‘You’re supposed to like it, right?’

I read the affection in Kashin’s eyes. The affection between friends, not between men and women. Larsen did not dislike the affection between these friends, which he had never experienced even in Korea, where Cha Seong-min lived.

“let’s go.”

Lassen competed with Kashin for the first time and visited the ‘Changgung Sword Stage’ where they had sparred together hundreds of times. There was so much dancing that there was no longer a need for referees or guardians. This means that a strong trust has been formed between the two.

Next to the off-stage.

I saw two women holding umbrellas.

One was Heila, the shadow, and the other was Soso, the mother.

“Hey. “You’re right.”

“yes. “I thought the two of you would say goodbye like this.”

And then another person walked.

“You are preparing the final dance.”

The middle-aged man approaching with a light smile was Carcia, the head of the Seid family. Even though he wasn’t wearing an umbrella, he didn’t get wet from the rain.

“Begin. “I will observe.”

Larsen and Kashin took poses with each other. As always, Kashin took out his beloved sword, Guardian, and Larsen took a stance unique to the Grandel family. Lower your lower body and maintain balance.

The two started dancing. The fight ended with Kashin’s victory. Kashin’s ‘Guardian’ touched the fallen Larsen’s uvula.

Kashin said.

“430 matches, 404 wins, 16 draws, 10 losses.”

The two had danced 430 times. While Kashin has 404 wins, Larsen has 10. In fact, Larsen was able to win even the 10th victory because Kashin overextended himself by saying he wanted to test a new technique.

The last fight was also Kashin’s victory. Kashin retrieved his sword. And I helped Larsen up.

“Are you leaving tomorrow?”

Larsen stood up.

“uh. tomorrow.”

“okay.”

Kashin held out his hand.

“tomorrow. “I won’t go out to see you off.”

“okay.”

Larsen held Kashin’s hand. We shook hands lightly. The last dance ended dully.

* * *

The head of the Sayid family. Karsia called Kashin into the room.

“You seem to be in a bad mood.”

“no.”

“You don’t want him to leave?”

“I don’t hate it. “I’m just going back to my hometown.”

Karsia looked at Kasin blankly and then opened her mouth again.

“Guardian sword technique 1st form. “What is its root?”

“It’s about keeping the enemy away.”

‘Guardian swordsmanship’ is a swordsmanship that pursues more perfect defense. The first type effectively blocks the opponent’s movements, gains the upper hand, and takes advantage through powerful and fast thrusts.

“Geomro was very shaken.”

“…yes.”

“Larsen. “If that child hadn’t put the circumstances in his hands, the last fight would have been your defeat.”

“I know.”

Kashin nodded.

“It’s because my mind is not in order.”

“Meeting and parting are up to the heavens. “If there is a meeting, there is a separation, and if there is a separation, there is a meeting, so don’t be too sad.”

“Larsen referred to the brothers as enemies.”

“Because that’s the Mayton family’s family tradition. It is their law. “It’s not something you should worry about.”

“I feel uneasy about sending my friends to a place teeming with enemies.”

It’s not that I didn’t want to break up, but I just didn’t want Larsen going to a ‘difficult place’. That was Kashin’s honest feelings.

“Do you also realize that one day that friend will return as your greatest enemy?”

“….”

Kashin was unable to answer for a moment. I knew it with my head, but I couldn’t admit it with my heart.

“…I know.”

“I just needed to know. That’s something in the distant future and we don’t know if it will actually happen or not. So it’s okay to be purely sad now.”

Karsia rubbed Cassin’s head. Although her son had grown up by the age of 14, he was still a spoiled child in Carcia’s eyes. Although people in the world say that he is an unrivaled genius and a swordsman born in 1,000 years, things like that are said. At least in the eyes of his father Karsia, his son Kashin was still a child.

“I’ll go back.”

Kashin, with a slightly red face, left his father’s room.

That night. Carcia’s wife. Leria, the landlady of the Seid family, asked.

“My son. “Did you cry?”

Kashin’s tears were clearly mixed in with the rain running down his face. I pretended not to notice, but those tears were real.

“It seemed so.”

“I guess he has a soft heart like you.”

Carcia and Leria have been married for 20 years. However, the two always used respectful terms with each other.

Karcia said.

“It’s a good experience. “I’m lucky to be able to meet such a friend as a child.”

“you. Be honest. Are you looking forward to the next generation?”

“Is it noticeable?”

“yes. “It looks like he’s really looking forward to it.”

What my wife Leria said was true. Honestly, I was looking forward to the next generation. What will happen to this world led by ‘Lasen-Kashin’ rather than ‘Decatra-Carcia’? At that moment, Karsia felt strange.

‘Did you think Larsen… led the Mayton family?’

This cannot happen. It is true that Larsen is great, but I watched his growth closely from the sidelines. Nonetheless, this makes no sense. Larsen is only 14 years old, and the Mayton family’s eldest daughter, Evelia, is already known to be approaching her 8th circle.

‘Nevertheless, it makes me look forward to Larsen.’

That child’s growth potential is beyond imagination. Karcia said softly.

“The child may be a little inferior in magical abilities, but he has very special abilities. “Something transcendent that is difficult to express in words.”

* * *

Larsen’s mother, Soso, packed the bags herself.

“Let me help you.”

“No, I can do it myself.”

“Then there will be nothing for me to do.”

“Heira is not my maid.”

“Please let me be your maid.”

Soso and Heira got into a fight over something trivial. As always. The winner of the fight was Soso.

“And I’m better at organizing things than Heira.”

“That’s true, though.”

Heira’s face turned a little red. That was true. Soso, a former maid, was much better at organizing things than Heira. I also became better at cooking. Soso surpassed Heira in all other fields except ‘force’.

Soso asked.

“Will we still be this close even if we go back to our parents’ home?”

Soso has been completely ostracized by his family. That was Decatra’s arrangement and Decatra’s consideration. Soso also knows that fact well. I also understood Decatra. But it would be a lie to say that I don’t feel lonely just because I understand that. Soso also made a friend. There seems to be a big age difference, but I always communicated well with Heira.

Heira answered.

“I don’t know either.”

Honestly, I don’t know. What will happen at home? Because I don’t know how to look at myself. And Heira’s top priority is ‘raising Lassen.’ My friendship with Soso is actually not that important. Still, it felt important. Just as Soso cared for Heira, Heira also cared for Soso.

Soso covered his mouth for a moment and laughed. My eyes narrowed. This was because Heira, who had been blushing and shy just a moment ago, suddenly lost her expression and stood like ice.

“why? “Is Larsen coming?”

“yes.”

Heira’s answer became shorter. Heira became cold in front of Larsen, like someone who is obsessed with maintaining this appearance.

“Rasen would also prefer warm Heira.”

“Confucius must not slack off. For your sake too. For me too. And for Confucius himself.”

The tone of speech changed drastically. Even the subtle smile that remained on Heira’s face completely disappeared. He wore a cold mask.

smart-.

A knock was heard. As Heira said, it was Larsen.

“mother. “You do know that you will return to your home through the mobile gateway with me tomorrow, right?”

“then. “I know it.”

Soso looked at his son with eyes full of love. Living in Seid Street was like a dream. It was my son who made that dream possible. Now is the time to wake up from the dream and return to reality.

“When I get back, I have to go see my father and say hello.”

Of course. There was a reason to say the obvious.

“I wish my mother would come with me then.”

“I?”

Soso hesitated for a moment. Soso should not meet Decatra. That’s what I thought. That’s a dangerous idea. It was obvious that Decatra’s other women who wanted to kill her would be jealous and envious. It was obvious that it would come back with revenge at any time.

“I will protect you now.”

And one more thing.

“I have a favor to ask you.”

I decided to ask my mother for the first time. At the same time, Cheonan presented the interpretation price.

[A variable has occurred that affects the story.]

The character Larsen began to change the story.
