A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 15
Hell’s White Night (1)
A month had passed since the certification ceremony, and it was the day when trainees selected from the Kaladan family, including collateral and direct blood relatives, gathered at the White Night Castle.
Arriving at the Caladern family’s Midnight Castle, which was no less than the great royal castle of Randelgaitz, Harang looked around.
Knights gather and line up to welcome the arrival of their immediate blood relatives… Rather than doing anything, it is quiet.
‘This is right.’
The White Night Castle is an area where ‘direct lineage Foldons’ of 7 to 8 stars are active, but there was no such thing as welcoming an ‘adopted semi-foldon’ of only 1 star.
Baek Ya-seong does not give special treatment for being a pureblood, and must prove oneself purely through skill.
The only time all the knights here gather and line up is when the 12 members of the Kaladan Elder Council or the head of the family enter.
Other than that, no matter how pureblood one was, if one’s skills were inferior to that of one’s students, one had to keep one’s mouth shut and quietly improve one’s swordsmanship.
The process of entering the White Night Castle was not that difficult.
The administrative manager gave me a firm scare, telling me that from here on I would not be able to bring servants in. He said that for purebloods who grow up in the arms of servants from an early age, it is the first and biggest hurdle.
These words were meaningless to Harang, who had no servant in the first place.
‘I’ve been good at taking care of things on my own since my previous life.’
Bathing, laundry, cleaning, cooking. It doesn’t matter what. How many years have you been making Jjambab? How can you not do something like that?
After entering through the main gate and riding a horse-powered vehicle for a while, a driver who appeared to be in his 30s was waiting.
“You’re here, trainee Harang.”
Even though the knight did not have silver eyes, he treated Harang half-heartedly.
in this part.
The pureblood children realize that they have entered the true White Night Castle.
Confucius, Master. Or, forcing those who were called princesses and young ladies to face reality by being treated poorly for the first time in their lives.
‘Do you feel like your status has risen?’
However, on the other hand, Harang felt good because he had rarely received a title of honor from such a great knight.
When Harang smiled sinisterly, the driver said, “What kind of guy is this?” He asked for a handshake with an expression of interest.
“This is Willis Carlson, adjutant of the 97th Horseman’s Wonseok Training Platoon of the Dark Horse Knights.”
Even in Caladon, which maintains a solid first place in military power in the world, dozens of geniuses gather as trainees once every three years at Midnight Castle, which recruits the most elite of the elite.
Wonseok Training Platoon. A single recruit training unit filled with the brightest talents, including Caladern blood and vassal families.
When I heard the word “Red Stone Squadron of the White Night Castle,” which is said to train Caladern’s best elite, I felt like I had finally achieved my first goal.
‘We’ve only just arrived at the starting point.’
Willis basically gave us simple information about what to do here, where to stay, where to find restaurants, etc.
‘Still, they’re from the same blood family, so the adjutant came out and gave us a guide.’
Finally, Willis, who arrived at the third training site where young blood relatives and trainees were trained, immediately turned his head and looked at Harang.
“Trainee Harang. Let me give you a warning. This is a space where direct pureblood status does not apply. On the contrary, there are many trainees who are fiercely prepared because they are purebloods. “They can defeat another trainee at any time through a duel, thereby ‘competing for rankings.’”
It’s competition again.
“They will never leave you alone. In fact, you will have a harsher life than other trainees.”
How does the Kaladun clan complete training camp and receive formal education? … Beat all the trainees and achieve first place.
If you hastily assert your status before you become strong, you will face daily bullying from senior trainees disguised as duel challenges before you grow up.
Willis had seen such blood relatives countless times.
Regardless of whether they are collateral or direct, they stand out for no reason because they think their talent and status are outstanding, but as they receive countless duel requests and their stamina depletes, they are unable to participate in proper training and their growth stops.
‘In particular, it is certain that attention is focused on the fact that he was adopted by a direct descendant.’
Willis thought.
If that kid is as wise as they say, and smart enough to take care of things on his own.
No doubt he will take his advice and accept it quietly.
‘Hold your breath and live.’
Harang laughed.
That was the thing in the world that Harang hated the most, and it was also the thing he was the worst at doing. Whatever you do, whatever you do.
He always wanted to do better than others. He wanted to look good. It was something close to an instinct embedded in the soul.
But, stay quiet.
“Let’s try.”
There was no good point in making a fuss from the first day, so Harang was convinced.
It is said that here, not only the four blood relatives who ascended to heaven this year, but also purebloods in their early teens undergo arduous training. If you disperse the bullying with them, you will be able to share the pain as well.
I had no intention of dragging him aggro alone and then using poison.
‘You came first.’
Cheren, who has now become her biological sister, as well as four blood relatives who ascended from the collateral family.
She and about a hundred boys and girls were huddled together in the training center with stiff expressions on their faces.
All of this year’s 97 Jockey trainees.
‘Did I say half of these will fall off?’
Although there is ranking, it is not a survival game where those who are eliminated below a certain ranking are determined.
But why do so many geniuses fall away?
It was simply because Kaladun’s training was too harsh. In an infinite competition system that forces people to point their swords at each other every day, those ranked at the bottom are not even treated as human beings.
They are given scraps of leftover meat as meals, assigned dilapidated accommodations, and deprived of all other treatment and rights.
The Kala’dun clan and vassal families are no exception.
If you don’t have the skills, get out.
This was a place where the phrase “merit supremacy” was completely appropriate.
“That kid is… … .”
“I heard you are a blood relative who was adopted into your original family?”
“Should we call them purebloods now?”
“well… … .”
The children began to whisper at Harang’s late appearance. Maybe it’s because he came from somewhere where he was treated like a genius among geniuses or a monster, but even after seeing the Kaladan blood family, his spirit is high.
He thinks that in this place where everyone is recognized for his/her skills, he/she might be able to beat Kaladhan.
Regardless, Harang is quietly settling down in a corner.
Startle!
I felt something eerie, so I hurriedly braced my knees.
Kuung-!!
At that moment, with a shock as if her weight had suddenly increased four times, her knees bent and an enormous weight pressed down on her.
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”
“Aaaah!”
“Ahh! “Save me!”
Harang was not the only one who felt this, as children began to scream here and there.
Harang was able to notice right away.
‘Wide-area weight amplification magic!’
It is a magic that greatly increases the force of gravity in a specified area, making the weight feel several times greater. It felt like it weighed about 120kg.
Rattling… … !!
Eventually, the door to the training center opens and a middle-aged man appears.
He stroked his beard, looked around slowly, and twirled his crystal-encrusted staff.
“This is my first time seeing you, you arrogant bastards. “There’s a lot of noise outside saying you’re treated like a genius.”
When I looked around later, I saw that all the trainees were lying on the floor, unable to move.
The child standing here, firmly holding on to gravity… … Just one person.
Harang was the only one.
“Ohh? There’s a kid with grit. “Silver eyes, are you Kaladun?”
‘… … ‘Damn it.’
Only then did Harang realize that his plan to avoid attracting attention had been twisted from day one.
The senior trainees around him were all paying attention to Harang.
If it had simply been this far, Harang wouldn’t have thought much of it.
But it seemed like the wizard had no intention of leaving him alone.
“It seems to be holding up well, how about this?”
Wow!!
A dark copper-colored magic circle unfolds above Harang’s head. When a thin gray lid-like plate fell between them, he hurriedly raised both hands.
Boom!
‘Pfft!’
It’s unbelievably heavy. For a moment, it felt like my bones were resonating.
But, nevertheless.
Harang endured.
This is why he didn’t kneel!
‘Damn, that rotten wizard… … .’
What kind of cruelty do you have to subject me to this ordeal?
No, I realized it already.
This was simply an act of ordering.
No matter what life you have lived before, you are only weak and trainees at best.
They did this to firmly imprint this fact in their minds.
The moment you realize it, a message appears in the air.
━━━[Sub Quest]━━━
Unbreakable will!
*Content: The instructor is trying to break your will and self-esteem, and push your self-esteem to the ground. Because that’s the best way to deal with the geniuses of the famous family! However, you are born with the qualities of a hero. I cannot be broken by tests like this.
*Goal: To overcome the instructor’s test!
*Reward: Silver White Dragon Contractor’s first power
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I was given a quest, but I didn’t even read it until the end. Rather, it was because my anger in wanting to overcome this situation was even greater!
The action he took was very simple.
“Aaaah!!”
“oh?”
His arm muscles exploded against the rock he was lifting with all his might, and using his magical energy as a rocket’s propulsion, he flew straight onto the platform where the middle-aged wizard was standing!
Coogung!!
Whether it was the man’s magic or a lack of strength, the rock fell narrowly at the middle-aged wizard’s feet.
But, is that enough?
Sigh!
The middle-aged wizard looked satisfied and snapped his fingers, and all gravity disappeared.
Then he suddenly gave a thumbs up.
“Congratulations. Adopted Boy. Did you say harang? “You are the first to endure my welcoming ceremony and even resist.”
He even winked, looking really happy.
No one could assume a playful attitude toward this action that seemed playful at first glance.
“Who is that trainee?”
“… … “They say he is a direct adopted Kaladun blood relative.”
“No matter how colorful it is… … .”
“How dare you throw a rock at the instructor?”
“You’ve been so bossy from day one.”
Stinging gazes are drawn from all over. The senior trainees were glaring at him.
‘Stay out of sight.’
Despite clear advice, the situation did not leave him alone. Harang wanted to focus on his training quietly.
‘… … Well, it doesn’t matter.’
The days ahead may certainly not be easy.
The senior trainees will not leave Harang alone by harassing him under the pretense of a duel.
But, what’s wrong with that?
It’s okay to lose. Countless duels will soon give him experience and serve as a stepping stone for the future.
‘Yeah, that’s better.’
Harang looked around at each of the senior trainees and made eye contact. Several seniors, who received the look in their eyes filled with strong determination, trembled with their hands.
‘Attack them all.’
As long as you guys can.
Although he had faced these challenges countless times in his past life, Harang overcame them all and finally reached the position of champion.
The senior trainees’ challenge is only the first step.
There was nothing that was too much for him.
