Kaladun Proof Ceremony (2)

“Oh my goodness?”

Meanwhile, Arahil Paul Callathan, who was sitting in his immediate seat on the platform in the center of the mortuary room, had twinkling eyes.

“Why is she here already?”

Arihil, who found Harang, suppressed the urge to wave his hand and say hello. If you do such a frivolous thing at a public event like this, it won’t end with just a scolding.

Likewise, Garaen, who discovered him, looked disappointed.

“… … this. not good.”

“Why?”

When Arihil asked softly, Garaen sighed. By nature, small talk was prohibited in a place like this, and Garaen placed great importance on iron rules, but it was a situation that made even him shake his head.

“You can only participate in the certification ceremony once. But he came here at the age of 7 and if he was deprived of the opportunity… … “With that, that child’s future will end.”

“oh… … !”

Arihil, who only then realized that Harang was in danger, covered his mouth with both hands.

“That child is definitely a gem, but he is too young to handle the certification ceremony. What a disaster. “Because there was no one to take care of them, their ability to discern was poor.”

Harang had a record of taking the talent test on his own and passing it with flying colors.

However, if you came here with that thought in mind this time, it would be out of the question. The proof ceremony is different from the talent test.

Garaen gritted his teeth.

I was worried about this, so I told Fillion and Hans about it, but in the end, they said it was an illegitimate child and they didn’t show any interest.

‘It seems like I ended up throwing away the gemstone I discovered for the first time in a while due to indifference… … .’

Regardless of Garaen’s anger, the proof ceremony begins.

“quiet.”

Duke Kal-El’s small voice resonated and spread throughout the space like telepathy.

The nobles who had been talking quietly fell silent at once.

“Let the proof ceremony begin.”

thud… ! When Kaladun struck the sheath of the sword on the floor, a small ripple erupted, echoing throughout the hundreds of people gathered here.

This served as a signal and a form of proof of direct lineage.

The first in line is Kaladun’s direct fourth granddaughter, Cheren Paul Kaladun.

A white-haired girl who looked to be about 9 years old came out to the central hall, bowed to Duke Kal-El, and then slowly approached the hero’s holy sword.

Ugh… … !!

At that time, Harang noticed something unusual.

‘What is that?’

It was as if the hero’s holy sword had an ego, looking at Cheren!

Although the holy sword had no eyes or ears, Harang definitely felt it.

‘Is that the Holy Sword Terandal?’

At that time, a voice leaked from the holy sword.

-I want to hear your name.

Harang couldn’t help but be shocked.

‘The sword speaks!’

But what’s even more surprising is the reaction of people around you.

As if they didn’t hear the Holy Sword’s voice, they just watched as if they were watching a fascinating spectacle. The same was true for Cheren, the girl who participated in the certification ceremony, but she pointed her sword and said nothing.

-Can’t you hear my voice…? .

The holy sword spoke as if sighing and slowly began to emit silver light.

Contrary to the noisy thoughts in Harang’s mind, Cheren, who actually stood in front of the Holy Sword, was in the exact opposite situation.

A girl who quietly concentrates.

Harang felt the energy of a huge white tiger behind her.

‘That… … .’

I knew it intuitively.

That thing, like Calantatis, is a creature called ‘Guardian’.

“Oh oh… … “A shape gradually appears.”

Silver air currents gathered near the holy sword Terandal, and eventually formed a human shape.

As far as Harang knows, the form of the Holy Sword Terandal changes each time depending on the skill of the person being tested.

It is said that when a person with no talent is tested, the actual shape cannot even be seen and the silver fog fades and disappears, while when a moderately talented person is tested, a human shape can be vaguely seen.

And like now.

In the case of Cheren, the blessed genius girl of the century… … A completely distinct white human form appeared, holding a sword.

“Unbelievable. “It’s so clear!”

“It’s like a real person.”

“I can’t believe it. People with that level of talent come out every time. Indeed, Caladern can only be said to be a blessed family.”

Cheren, who was looking at the manifestation of the holy sword, aimed his sword at it and then quickly rushed forward and swung.

visor!! Sword and sword clash.

The manifestation of the holy sword does not attack the girl from the Kaladun family, but only focuses on defense. If she breaks through that defense, the girl wins. If you don’t, you won’t be recognized.

No matter how talented you are, if you don’t work hard and work hard, you will never be able to break through the Holy Sword’s defense.

It was important how clearly the shape of the holy sword appeared, but in the end, defeating it was more important, so people watched the scene with sweaty hands.

Caladon’s first sword technique

Non-touch sword is recommended (追??)

Kaga River!!

Some swordsmen looked slightly surprised at Cheren’s swordsmanship, which was reminiscent of a tiger charging at them, but most of them took it as if it was natural.

“You mean you’ve already learned your family’s secret seasons?”

“Princess Cheren is a direct descendant, right? “The seasons will be taught from the moment you hold the sword.”

“No matter what, isn’t it amazing at such a young age?”

Harang fiddled with the sword at his waist. This was because the image of Cheren had already appeared in his mind and he was firing a series of slashing swords in the air.

‘Following it all at once… … That might be a bit much. The movements are very complicated.’

If you can imitate swordsmanship just by seeing it once, how would you say it’s a secret season?

Even if you gather together the world’s masters and show them the Kaladun swordsmanship vision, they will not be able to implement it in the same way.

“Oooh, I’m pushing it!”

“Swordsmanship is becoming more and more extreme.”

When he heard people’s exclamations, Harang looked down.

Indeed, Cheren, who had even spread the secret season, was pushing the manifestation of the Holy Sword, making it take a step back.

yet.

Cheonggang!

As the human figure split into two and completely disappeared, the main body of the holy sword flashed and radiated light.

With that, the proof ceremony ends.

“Whoa.”

The girl wiped her sweat and bowed her head to Duke Kal-El. Her talent was so brilliant that everyone was amazed… … .

“Yes, you had a hard time.”

Duke Kal-El had a disapproving expression. People were slightly surprised by his cold response, but had no choice but to overlook it. Duke Kal-El was famous for his high standards.

Cheren bowed to the head of the family with a slightly sullen expression and returned to his seat.

From the next turn, collateral blood relatives appeared.

A 9-year-old boy, Theon Caladorn.

This time too, the certification ceremony was held quickly. When Theon stood in front of the Holy Sword, a clear human shape appeared, just like when it was Cheren!

This time too, light emanated from Theon’s sword energy and suppressed the manifestation of the holy sword.

Although he was not a direct descendant of the main family, he could not perform the secret feast, but thanks to his amazing performance, he received constant applause from the people.

When Theon bowed to Duke Kal-El, he responded.

“It’s a worthwhile achievement.”

Among geniuses, the adjective ‘talented’ is only given to geniuses and exceptional people, but Duke Kal-El simply called him ‘useful.’

Councilor Taran declared to Theon on behalf of Duke Kal-El.

“Theon Caladhan. Having learned swordsmanship from his direct lineage at the White Night Castle, he appears to be qualified to work as ‘Polden’ in the future. “Will you ascend to heaven?”

An opportunity to ascend by learning the swordsmanship of your direct lineage! Theon smiled brightly and nodded his head.

“If you give me the chance, I will work even harder! thank you!”

Oh oh… … !

Exclamations of exclamation erupted from everywhere.

In particular, the younger blood relatives of the collateral looked at Theon with envious eyes, and there was nothing more glorious for a collateral than going to the Midnight Castle.

Afterwards, collateral blood relatives continued to come out and hold proof ceremonies.

Perhaps it was because Cheren and Theon, who received the first and second certification ceremonies, showed such an overwhelming performance that the children who came out afterward seemed relatively poor.

Of course, Kaladun is still Kaladun.

All of them showed great inaction even at a young age, and there was not a single one who was not recognized by the Holy Sword.

The certification ceremony ends with the examination up to the last step.

Councilor Taran Carl Aradella declared, shaking his head.

“This is the Kaladun family’s sacred sword certification ceremony… … .”

“Wait a minute, wait.”

However, Duke Kal-El interrupted him and gestured with his chin.

“There’s still one more person left.”

His eyes were focused on Harang, who was getting up from his seat at that moment.

“huh? “Who is that kid?”

“well… … I’ve never seen it before. “It is certain that it is a collateral lineage.”

It’s natural that people are clamoring. Regardless of whether you are a direct or collateral relative, it is normal for you to have seen each other’s face at least once, but this was completely my first time with Harang.

While trying to finish the certification ceremony, Taran looked at the documents in confusion.

“majesty. “That child has no name in the Kaladun genealogy.”

As the news spread, the nobles held their tongues.

The only case where there is no name in the genealogy is ‘illegitimate child’!

even… … Some people saw the color of Harang’s hair and were reminded of who his father was.

“Wait a minute, that dark black hair.”

“Seo, are you really the child of the fugitive Melise?”

“oh my god. “The illegitimate son of the fugitive Melise sneaks into the ceremony.”

The Caladern family strictly controlled bloodlines and never tolerated illegitimate children, so the nobles kept quiet because they thought it would be a sad birth.

What’s more, he’s the child of Melise, whom the matriarch herself cast out!

People thought that Duke Kal-El would be so angry that he would kick the child out, but contrary to people’s reactions, he seemed not to care at all and gestured towards the holy sword.

“Looking at those clear silver eyes, he has strong Caladan blood. What does it matter whether you are born among commoners or nobles? “The mother’s bloodline is irrelevant.”

Those words could be interpreted as ‘all bloodlines except Caladun are ordinary’, but among those gathered here, there was no one who could deny that fact. Caladorn must be the purest and noblest bloodline in the world.

“So, come out and have a certification ceremony.”

Harang seemed to be happy that Kal-El’s order had been given, so he jumped up and slowly walked towards the warrior’s holy sword, Terandal.

“Umm… … ?”

“Your eyes are really bright silver.”

“It’s deeper than a direct pureblood.”

Several high-level warriors looked at Harang’s eyes and expressed doubts.

This is because his silver eyes were so pure silver-white that they could hardly be seen even in pure-blood Kaladen.

Looking at his silvery-white eyes, which were even brighter than those of Cheren, who had previously attended the certification ceremony as a member of his direct lineage, some people already sensed that something was unusual, but most did not.

“What is that kid? “I can’t even tell if it’s a woman or a man.”

After I started practicing, I didn’t take care of my hair, so it ended up being short, and I didn’t build any muscle, so it was difficult to look at him as a man with a bad appearance.

“The body is also frail… … “I wonder if he received any training.”

“Isn’t the proof ceremony starting at age 7? “You look younger than that, right?”

“I feel like I’m barely seven years old… … No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible.”

“Even if you were a normal blood relative, it would be absolutely impossible for you to pass the certification ceremony at that age.”

When people muttered something, Harang actually felt joyful.

Because he was born a government official, the more he swears at himself, the more powerful he becomes.

‘It was like that in my past life too.’

There was a time when even the lowest class of the world was given the dishonorable title of ‘obsolete’.

Those were the days when everyone cursed Harang and jeered that he was no longer normal.

‘… … ‘They rewarded us with an overwhelming victory.’

The pleasure of turning boos into cheers!

Harang closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.

‘Now, come out.’

Eventually, when Harang opened his eyes with a flash of silver, the warrior’s holy sword reacted and began scattering silver air currents everywhere.

At that time, a small storm blew, fluttering Harang’s hair.

-Oh my! There’s something different about you from the others before!

Harang chuckled at Seonggeom’s words and softly pursed his lips in response.

“that’s right. “I will be different from before, Holy Sword.”

-… … what? Are you sure you can even hear my voice?

“Of course it sounds. “You shout so loudly.”

-under… ! I see, the child who hears my voice is finally, finally… … !!

The warrior’s holy sword Terandal shouted loudly in a happy voice, as if he were a man who had met his first love.

-Hahaha! I thought it looked familiar, but it was him. It resembles the energy of the warrior Kaladan! Yeah, I see. That’s how it happened. You will be given the most special test! Try passing somewhere!

Silver light currents swirled and soared up to the high ceiling of the mortuary room.

Soon, a horrifying sound, like mechanical metal screaming, rang out, and two huge silver eyes appeared in the air.

It was like… … It felt like God was glaring at me with his eyes wide open, making Harang’s heart pound.

-Well, endure it!!

Coogung!! Harang’s eyes widened at the shout of Holy Sword Terran Dal that sounded like a thunderclap.

It wasn’t because I was scared.

Rather… … .

‘That’s Calantatis, isn’t it?’

Yes. The shape of the holy sword Terandal seemed to resemble the two eyes of Calantatis.

Looking closely, it was clear that it was not Calantatis himself. The energy you feel is on a different level. Calantatis is never that soft.

‘Fake.’

Regardless of whether it was an imitation of a silver white dragon or not, it had a very formidable appearance, so much so that an ordinary child would have run away crying just by daring to make eye contact with it… .

Was Harang just a normal child?

There was no way Harang, who had already met the real Calantatis, would be scared by seeing a fake.

-… … ok? what?

Holy Sword Terandal seemed embarrassed and began to amplify his energy even more. Even people who didn’t understand what was going on at first realized that something was different.

“uh? The energy becomes stronger… … .”

“wait for a sec! Look Carefully!”

“A figure appears!”

“what? But that’s not a human shape… … .”

“Ugh, wow?!”

“What is that!!”

The energy of the holy sword Terandal became more and more intense, and when it finally revealed its shape, everyone was able to see its incarnation in the form of a silver white dragon.

Some fainted at the sight of the horror, some jumped up from their seats and ran away, some were curious, and some had their fighting spirit aroused.

“Hoo… … .”

Kal-El was equally surprised, because in the long history of Kaladan, there had never been a record of the holy sword Terandal taking the shape of a dragon!

If there’s one thing even more surprising than that… … .

“What on earth is that boy?!”

Even some of the immediate blood relatives were looking at Harang in astonishment.

To be able to endure the tremendous force emitted by the holy sword and the gaze of that dragon, which looks so terrifying that even a reasonable amount of courage cannot withstand it, while still holding on unscathed!

-Hehe! You met Calanthatis? You can tell by looking at their eyes!

“… … .”

Without answering any further, Harang pulled out his real sword and aimed it. Seeing Harang like that, the Holy Sword Terandal must have felt something and began to change its appearance again.

It gradually compressed the form and eventually completely formed the same human appearance as before.

However, it is different from before.

It was not simply a human figure, but a knight fully armed with black and white armor.

Like, the incarnation of the hero Kaladun.

chuck!

Terandal, the holy sword whose shape was fully revealed, pointed his sword at him and spoke.

-under… … ! A truly long time of waiting. I waited for hundreds of years. May the true successor to the warrior Kaladan emerge! My alter ego won’t be able to handle your current level of 1 star. If you defeat the clone, I will recognize you as its descendant!

Harang burst out laughing.

Where in the world is there a chef who is chosen by a kitchen knife, and where is a gamer who is recognized by a keyboard?

“Yes, you will have to experience it for yourself to know how great the sword is.”

Harang pulled out his sword and pointed it at the knight.
