A genius gamer is reincarnated into a famous hero episode 72

Qualities of a King (1)

“This mission is of level 1 importance and difficulty cannot be measured, so it is a matter that the family treats with special care.”

When Aran took out his staff and threw it into the air, the screen unfolded below and letters were engraved on it.

‘Wow, is it a projector?’

Unlike the projector, the text was coming out of the screen itself.

A form similar to a television.

I was able to feel once again that modern technology is being implemented as magic in this world as well.

“Let me tell you the keywords first. Pauldon Harang, your target is an object called ‘Estelle’. It is a mystical object that has been passed down since ancient times, and is said to grant special powers to its holder. but… … “That’s just the surface level.”

Aran tapped the screen with his wand and it moved to the next page.

‘huh?’

On the screen, a reference photo was printed of an ancient stone painting of a huge silver dragon embracing.

“In fact, it is said that if you collect all the ‘Estels’, Calantatis, the Dragon King of the Moon and the strongest guardian, will awaken.”

“You’re the guardian of Kaladan, right?”

“… … no.”

Aran shook his head with a miserable expression.

“Calanthatis’s last contract was the warrior Kaladan, and in fact, it is difficult to view him as the family’s guardian. “He has not nominated a successor for a long time, nor has he appeared in the world.”

It is known in the world that Calantatis, the strongest guardian, protects Caladun, but this is all a misunderstanding.

Aran was saying that.

“if… … “The legend goes that if someone who collects all Estels appears in the world, Calantatis will make a contract with him.”

“… … ?”

Harang had a bewildered expression on his face.

“Is it possible for a Guardian to make a contract with two humans?”

“no. “There is only one Guardian contractor.”

Then that story has no meaning.

‘Calantatis already signed a contract with me?’

The status window clearly states that he is a contractee of Calantatis, and he can even use all of his unique powers.

We are even given quests and the protection of the previous life system thanks to Calantatis’ guidance… … It was good to see that he was already enjoying all the privileges and benefits.

“At present, when countless forces, including the Three Great Swordsmen, the Four Great Families, and the Five Great Magicians, are clashing, there are differing opinions that the force that accepts Calantatis, the Dragon King of the Moon, as its guardian will be the strongest.”

Harang was deep in thought. Aran thought he was taking this situation seriously.

“All powers around the world are moving with their eyes on Estelle. Do you understand? “How important is Pauldon Harang’s current mission?”

Harang quickly glanced at the instructions on the screen. His role is to track the whereabouts of Estelle, who is hidden somewhere in ‘Magic School Arniel’.

The quest window said to acquire it if possible, but the instructions did not say anything about acquiring it.

No matter how hard she was, she thought it was an impossible challenge for fourteen-year-old Harang.

‘How well have you hidden it that you’re sending your blood relatives to find out?’

Harang, who was slowly looking through the instructions, felt something strange, so he looked again at the part he had read at first.

“Magic school, Arniel… … .”

He frowned slightly and looked at Lilger.

“Is this the place I know?”

“yes. “This is Arniel, known as the world’s most prestigious magic academy.”

Arniel is a place so famous that even Harang is familiar with it.

No matter how powerful a country’s royal family comes to visit, if they do not have talent, they will ruthlessly kick them out, and if they have talent, they will accept them even if they are from the low class.

Of course, most people from the low class could not withstand the bullying from the nobles and ran away, but there were some famous cases where people from the low class persevered and became great wizards.

“Anyway, is it okay for me to go into a place like this? “It didn’t matter at the Harana Canal because you rarely show your face anyway, but the magic school must have quite complicated procedures for proving your identity.”

“Polden Harang has grown rapidly since he was 10 years old, and his appearance has changed a lot. “There are very few people who remember what he is like now, except for the main characters of Kaladun, and he has a great talent for magic, so it’s no problem.”

Aran stroked his chin.

“I would be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about my identity being discovered.”

His expression was filled with doubt as to why such an important task was entrusted to a boy of only fourteen.

The doubts were soon dispelled by a loyalty stronger than any doubts.

“Polden Harang will use a disguised identity and must completely lay down his sword for the duration of his mission. “It may be hard as Kaladun, but it’s all for the greater good.”

“Uhm, that’s okay. Anyway, there are separate ways to train swordsmanship… … “Rather, I’m worried about my status.”

“When it comes to status, there are two ways. One is to continue working as the commoner wizard ‘Days’ that I used before, and the other is to borrow the identity of a vassal family wizard’s son.”

It is said that there were many unknown large and small vassal families in Caladern, and there were quite a few magical families among them.

It would not have been impossible to find Arniel’s student of Harang’s age.

but… … Even so, this is too shabby. In either case, shouldn’t we ultimately have to show our faces as they are?

“Are you worried that your disguise will be discovered?”

“Well, rather than anxiety… … “I think my grandfather had other intentions.”

“Different intentions… … “You mean?”

Aran looked at Duke Kal-El. When he nodded, Harang continued his words.

“It’s not that I didn’t encounter people from the outside at all while I was staying in the White Night Castle, and even though I’ve changed a lot in the past four years, it’s impossible for there to be no one in the Honorable Blades Association who remembers me.”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“Also, I have often been involved in outside activities recently… … “It seems like they are sending this on purpose to get caught.”

“… … !”

Harang’s words could easily damage the honor of Kal-El, who had given the mission, so Aran took a deep breath.

Since Kal-El had not said anything yet, Aran scolded Harang even more carefully.

“A mission to fail on purpose… … Does this mean that Your Majesty got off? “It can’t possibly be like that.”

“Revealing my identity doesn’t necessarily mean the mission will fail.”

“… … So what does it mean?”

“Think about it. Let’s say that a commoner boy appears in Arniel with outstanding achievements and a talent that surpasses that of the five great magic families. Of course, Arniel will have no choice but to push it, and will try to somehow pass it off as their own achievement.”

A genius wizard of the century has appeared at Magic School Arniel!

Of course, it was something that would become a hot topic, so Arniel would not leave such a genius alone.

“But voila, it turned out to be Kaladhan. “What will happen to Arniel if this becomes known?”

“That’s really, really…” … .”

In response to Harang’s question, Aran raised the corner of his mouth without realizing it.

“… … “That sounds fun.”

From that moment on, Caladern secretly sneaking into Arniel and receiving teachings was no longer an embarrassing thing. Rather, by showing off Kala Dawn’s talents beyond the five great masters of magic, she could put them all to shame.

Even Arniel’s side cannot touch Harang carelessly since his identity has been revealed. Rather, they should at least attach a guard to Harang so that his identity is not harmed.

If a Harang gets injured or dies in Arniel, immediately… … Because the war will start.

If Harang had known from the beginning that he was Calladan, he would have kicked him out, but since he hid his identity and already enrolled, there was absolutely no way to kick him out!

Since there have historically been virtually no cases of a master swordsman trying to secretly enter a magic school, there will be no countermeasures at all.

“Does this mean that Your Highness was taking all of this situation into consideration…? … ?”

In response to Aran’s question, Duke Kal-El smiled slightly and nodded.

“okay. To be exact, it was Taran’s opinion. They said that if they were to send blood relatives, it would be better to go in a direction where they can turn everything around. “It was a plan I quite liked.”

Taran bowed his head in gratitude under Kal-El’s rule.

“As expected, he is the youngest grandchild. You immediately understand the meaning of this plan. “How can it be worth doing?”

Needless to say.

Instead, Harang answered with his eyes shining, feeling as if his heart was pounding and boiling hotly.

“I think it will be a very enjoyable mission.”

“fun… … “It’s a unique expression.”

As Duke Kal-El stroked his beard, Harang’s eyes lit up and he said a very famous phrase that was his motto during his days as a professional gamer.

“‘If you can not avoid it, you might as well try and enjoy it’. “I think so.”

Duke Kal-El’s eyes widened at that. It was a very famous saying on Earth, especially in Korea, so everyone from the elderly to children did not know it, but it was unfamiliar to this world.

Duke Kal-El, who thought it was a mindset born entirely from Harang, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled cheerfully, as if he was very pleased.

“Khaha! I learned something good from my youngest grandchild again. Yes, your attitude is very good. “If you successfully complete this mission and return, I will teach you a sword technique as a reward.”

Harang barely suppressed his attempt to smile and lowered his head.

‘It seems that using Kyle to act out emotions worked well. I’m still young, so this method may work, but… … .’

When it works, use it as much as possible!

That was Harang’s mindset.

‘Someday, I will be able to learn my grandfather’s swordsmanship, but I don’t want to wait until then.’

This was an opportunity I forced myself to take because I was impatient to learn a little bit of swordsmanship from the world’s greatest swordsman as soon as possible.

Duke Kal-El seemed to consider basic swordsmanship very important, but Harang was different. He believed that basic swordsmanship is important, but the more variations of techniques that can be used, the higher the winning rate in actual combat.

so.

Harang tried to accept as much as possible as his ‘grandson’ when Kal-El felt even a little bit ‘sorry’ for him.

“and… … “There is one thing I would like to ask my grandfather.”

Kal-el became interested when I called him while deliberately emphasizing the word grandfather. Have you ever had your children ask you for a favor?

Probably not.

Harang also expected that to some extent, so he was able to exploit the gap in his heart!

“Okay, tell me.”

“If it’s not a problem… … “I would like to meet the Holy Sword Terandal once again.”

“!”

Aran, who was standing behind Kal-El, was even more surprised at Harang’s request. Taran, who was standing on the left and listening quietly, looked at the duke, probably quite surprised.

The holy sword Terandal is the family’s sacred treasure, and can only be managed and ruled by the head of Kaladan. Fourteen young blood relatives would touch such an object… … .

“Hehe, yeah. good night.”

“… … !!”

But unexpectedly, Kal-El readily accepted.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

When Aran asked carefully, Kal-El nodded with a faint smile, wondering what interesting thoughts he had.

“Of course, it’s okay.”

Even Harang could guess what he was thinking.

‘A person who likes the will to grow so much… … .’

There was no way he would have allowed a meeting with the Holy Sword and Terandal. Because Kal-El, like Harang, respected those who had a desire for strength.

Even if the other person’s level is relatively insignificant, if he or she makes an effort to grow, he or she will respect that person’s will.

and.

I don’t know about Harang.

Duke Kal-El was currently very happy.

To face the Holy Sword again.

That meant testing myself a second time.

‘Huh, Your Majesty is very happy. In fact, no blood relatives have come forward to challenge Terandal again… … .’

Terandal’s clone has a strength that matches the level of the opponent.

If it was at a level of 1 to 2 stars, it was possible to suppress it, but if it went higher than that, it became extremely difficult.

When 3-star blood relatives and clones faced each other, more than 50% were defeated, and when 4-star or higher blood relatives fought, more than 90% were defeated.

From 5 stars and above… … There is almost no history of blood relatives winning over clones.

It was an unusual thing. The clone only uses Kaladun’s ‘basic sword techniques’. There have been quite a few instances in history where blood relatives who had learned various sword techniques and arcane techniques that developed over time and had increased self-esteem challenged Terandal, only to be defeated time and time again.

Therefore, in modern times, blood relatives do not challenge Terandal when they reach level 4 or higher.

There is nothing more shameful than being defeated by an alter ego that uses only basic sword techniques.

Duke Kal-El has never once refused to challenge the Holy Sword Terandal. Nevertheless, the reason why Harang had to ask carefully was because no one had challenged him before, so he thought it was an unwritten rule that he was not allowed to challenge.

Ugly bastards who are afraid of losing and don’t even have the will to challenge Terandal.

In the meantime, Harang is burning his will, so how could he not be seen?

‘If you challenge and win against Terandal, who uses only basic sword techniques, it means that your sword skills are purely sharp even if they do not depend on sword techniques… … .’

Aran nodded, appreciating Harang’s challenge quite highly. Seeing his eyes shining with goodwill, Harang honestly found this situation a bit funny.

‘No one challenges you, so you gain favor just by challenging yourself.’

How absurd was this situation?

At the very least, even Earth’s professional gamers were not afraid of defeat and were constantly challenging themselves.

It’s not like you’re going to die if you lose to Terandal, but you’re trying to protect yourself for fear that your self-esteem and honor will be damaged… … .

“Would you like to go right now?”

“Yes, please.”

“okay. “I will tell you to prepare.”

“thank you.”

Kal-el smiled as he gestured to Taran. Whether Harang’s challenge succeeds or fails, it seems clear that it will be a very good stimulus for the other children.

“But, it’s my youngest grandchild. In order to meet the Holy Sword Terandal… … “You know that you have to pay the ‘punishment’ given to you, right?”

Harang smiled confidently.

“Yes, I will cleanse myself of my sins and come out.”
