Chapter 459 – Reus Pleus

In the meantime, another word resonates in my mind.

‘Don’t you have a knife?’

I had a conversation with Dre not too long ago.
Dre, who had come with two instructors to the first building of combat training, happened to run into Rius.

At that time, when Rius used the sword supplied by the school instead of the sword that was broken during the Sea God’s Cave incident, he asked for that.

I thought so when others said it, but when Dre asked, I felt miserable.

He said, my apprentice is missing a sword right now…? He must have been disappointed.

He left before I could say anything after that, so there was no chance to make up for it.

“Reus Pleus.”
“…”
“Rius Pleus!! Wake up!!”
“Ugh.”

Rius finally comes to his senses at Ferold’s scolding.

“What do you think of my proposal?”
“…Damn it.”

Is that a suggestion, son of a bitch? Thinking so, Rius gnashed his teeth.

“Even if you beat me, hyung… Instructor Dre…”
“Attach you, you stupid bastard!!”

Perld’s bullying.
He…Had great momentum.
He is a great nobleman and one of the talented leaders, Auria, and now his reputation has turned into notoriety and he died, but he is a man with such a strong voice that even the super wizard Herrth refuted that Dre was a great person.

When such a man pressed me head-on… My body trembled.
…Why am I so pathetic, me.

“I’m sorry.”

Perld also mercilessly told me that he thought the same.

“Even if I beat you, Instructor Dre won’t choose me. That’s what you want to say, right?”
“…Okay.”
“Huh. Why not?”
“What?”
“It is true that there are many excellent students in the combat department, but I am the top among them.
“…”

That’s right.
The barrier of the wind.

Ferold’s natural ‘blessing’
There are many blessings in the world, and among them there are blessings that have the effect of skills.

Ferold was just such a case.
Loved by the wind since he was born, he applied that power to his sword and acquired tremendous swordsmanship.

Not only that, but he also researched and acquired other swordsmanships with great effort, and even if it was not the barrier of Jepung, he was a top-ranked person in the combat department with only his swordsmanship.

If you pick a student worth teaching, he will definitely be chosen.

“The reason I’m trying to suppress you is to further solidify my chances of becoming a disciple.”
“What?”
“No matter how unqualified it may be, if I beat you, my former disciple, that symbolism will be there.”
“This…! I left it as a pierced mouth…!”
“Huh… Do you want to join now? I’m fine anytime.”

Remembrance.
Perld carrying a great sword on his back.
Originally, Rius would have jumped at him even if he was scared.
He was such a man
But now… I couldn’t.

If I lose here, I will no longer be Dre’s apprentice?
Can’t even talk to him anymore?
That…

“…What are you doing, you bastard?”

Seeing the frozen Rius, Ferold removed his hand from the greatsword and clicked his tongue.

“How the hell did a guy like you stay under him for a month?”
“…I am.”
“His disciple! Don’t look pathetic!”

I was grabbed by the collar and pulled.
Whatever it is, it’s the other side’s insistence, but I can’t refute it…

“Ferld!”

The moment Dia pulled out her sword.

Kwurrrring!

“?!?!”

Supportive position.

Ferold’s surroundings are grotesquely distorted.
The great wind barrier…Is about to be broken…!

“What…!”

Ferold had no choice but to let go of Rius’s collar and seize the greatsword and swing it.
And when someone intrudes and strikes his fist against the sword…

Jjoong!

“!”

Ferold was pushed away.
He who can control his advance and retreat using wind magic has been pushed back!

Oh oh

The elasticity leaked out.
Who? Who is it?

“…I see, big brother! This, this…! You’re so shocked you’re about to faint.”
“…Gold Heart?”

Ferold’s questionable voice.
Indeed, as he said, the one standing proudly between the lightning and the wind… It was gold that no matter who saw it, it could open and close its right hand.

‘…Wasn’t he a prosthetic arm?’

Rius questioned for a while, and Gold crossed his arms and spoke confidently.

“I’m sorry. Ferold Blues. But I could feel the murder in you. So I intervened.”
“…”
“I think it’s an inappropriate feeling for a fellow classmate.”
“…That’s right.”

Ferold took a step back.
Gold was great for his family and his own excellence, but… He is the brother-in-law of Instructor Dre.
It’s an opponent that shouldn’t be fooled.

“That prosthetic arm, what is it?”
“Hoo! Do you recognize it!”

Gold smiled confidently as if he was waiting for someone to ask.

“My brother made it!”
“Instructor Dre…?!”
“What? Instructor Dre?”
“Are you even producing now?”
“Yeah, but the quality is perfect… It just looks like a human hand?”

As soon as the name of the big star of the combat department came out, students flocked like clouds.

Haha. It has the power to amplify not only magic but also physical power several times over. With my own strength, it is possible to multiply dozens of times…!”
“That…!”
“Wow…!”

It is truly the best prosthetic hand.
Even top-of-the-line Automail won’t do that.

While everyone else was babbling, only Reus felt left out.
Dre again.
From a new level to that.

I am…

“Reus Pleus.”
“Ugh.”

Rius raises his head as Gold calls out to him.

“What’s going on? Why are you fighting?”
“I wasn’t trying to fight, I was trying to sparr.”

Hmm to Ferold’s words? Gold raised an eyebrow.

“Dalian?”
“Yes. To become a disciple of Instructor Dre.”

Huck caught his breath around him.

“Perld. What does it have to do with you defeating Rius Pleus and becoming your brother’s disciple?”
“It doesn’t matter. Since you’re a brother, you’ve heard that he’s kicking this guy out and accepting a new student, right?”
“Your brother?”

Gold tilted his head for a moment, then nodded.

“If it’s like that, shouldn’t we give Rius time to prepare?”
“…I agree. I was in a hurry. Rius Pleus.”
“…”
“Within the week, come on whenever you want. Even when I’m exhausted, it doesn’t matter.”

Holding the sword tightly, Ferold opened his eyes.

“I still win.”
“…”

Perl Degas took a deep breath, and he began to shout loudly.

“Listen to the guys here too!! I’ll be his disciple!! If anyone has a complaint, look over me!!”

A shout echoes from the Warfare Department.

“Yes! You are the only one, Ferld!”
“You must win! There is a saying that if you become a disciple this time, you will receive a sword that Instructor Dre personally brought to you!”
“Ah! Is that the case the professor kept in the warehouse?!”

Hearing a loud roar, Gold nodded.

“I like the spirit.”

Then, he gets Rius up and walks away.

“…Let it go. Szasha.”
“Go see your brother.”
“What?! Uh, where?”
“Where is this?”

Reus was startled.

“Hey, are you here?”
“Hey. He comes here every day these days. He’s probably watching me come to test this prosthetic arm. He’s worried about his brother even after making such a masterpiece. Whoa…”
“…”
“Well then… Huh?”

Reus ran away.
I met him now, through his mouth Ah. The end of you disciple go away. If you hear…

I don’t have the confidence to get up…!

Puck!

“Ugh!”

I bumped into someone at the entrance of the building.

“Are you okay… Huh?”
“I’m sorry… Huh?”

Voices familiar to each other.
When I looked up, there was the person I wanted to meet the most, and at the same time, there was someone I didn’t want to meet.

“D-Dre.”
“Hey. Ririri. I’ll forget the name…”
“All, next time. Next time…!”
“Uh, yumma.”

Reus, who was walking away, ran quickly, fearing that Dre would call him.
Behavior like this. I knew it was only a stopgap, but I couldn’t stop.

Humming! Humming!

A secret place that no one knows about.
Even the academy has some unpolished parts.
The meadow in the back mountain is there.
Rius, who silently wielded his sword there, eventually exhausted himself and fell to the ground.

“It’s hard… Damn it… Heck hehe…”

Sweat flows like rain.
Still, I feel a little better after swinging the sword… Even if I do, I get depressed because I can’t reach ‘that sword’ in the end.

That person always writes, but why can’t he just write once?

“Damn it…”

As a result, I went back to the dormitory with a bad feeling.
And…

“Woo Seung Lee”

Two light hands on her shoulders, and a fragrant scent.

“!”

Watching Rius step back… Insus, a cute girl with dark pink hair close to red, giggled.

“What, what! Damn! What a surprise! Damn!”

Insus silently watched Rius frantically and laughed.

“Oh, can I be so angry? I brought you good news~”
“…Good news?’

Why is a guy I’m not very familiar with all of a sudden?
Still, Rius quickly asked with some anticipation.

“What, what is it?”
“Aren’t you ignoring the news from home?”
“…”

It was.
I keep getting calls from home.
I got it at first, but lately I can’t accept it because I feel embarrassed.

“Why is that?”
“Your mother calls often these days? Do you know why?”
“Oh, how do I know that? No, how do you know…?”
“I can tell.”
“…The dreamer’s son.”

It’s not just a dream.
You may not know it well, but among the dreamers, she is a girl with a very noble lineage.
With this cute appearance… This dream horse, regardless of gender, who will be captivated in an instant, has a secret that can’t be imagined just by looking at its appearance.
Because of that secret, Rius barely manages to be possessed.

“Your father must have been seriously injured.”
“…What?”
“That’s why they keep calling. Try calling home.”
“Come on, go to sleep…”
“Oh, and.”

Insus turned around and tried to say something, then tilted her head and smiled.

“No, that’s okay~”
“What, what?”
“Your brother and you look alike, so I don’t have to tell you. Yes. That might be better~”
“What… Profit!”

Rius quickly ran to the contact department.
Your father is hurt?
A grumpy old man with no strengths besides his strong body?

“Damn it…!”

What is the fortress like?
There’s nothing going on.

[Ah~ I wasn’t hurt that much~ Did he say that?]
“Damn it…!”

I was tricked…!
That damn dreamer girl…!

[Are you his friend? It was so cute that I wondered if he was dressed as a man!]
“…”

Why did he go there
There’s no way he’s interested in himself…
Lewis knows that too.
Insus’ only interest was in Dre.

…What?
Something seems to be connected now…

[Anyway, don’t worry too much that your back is a bit sprained.]
“How can you not worry…”
[Oh? Are you grown up? You?]
“Iron is… Damn it.”
[Correct that damn language, kid. Your dad also overreacted after you left. With the bone marrow soon…]
“Swarm…?”
[The sword should have been a bit expensive. The atmosphere of the village is like that, and that’s how it’s made up for…]

For a moment.
Knife?

“Isn’t that what your mother bought for you…?”
[? It’s not? Where is the money mom?]
“Eh, eh…? Then…”
[Dad bought it. Don’t say I told you If you say it, you will blush again and fall down by the back of your neck]

Ho-ho-ho, a woman who laughs loudly.
What…
That broken sword. Did your dad buy it for you?

“But why? Dad didn’t like me going to the academy.”
[What are you talking about? You were more proud than anyone else that you went to Prunar Academy.]
“…”
[You didn’t even have to pay tuition, so you went there with your own efforts. I want to do something for you, so even that man is overreacting.]
“…No. I…”
[You want to do something for your dad, so you’re going to try, right? You can see it or not.]

Anyway.
Because rich people can’t be equally honest.

Reus’ tears welled up.
So, he just said he would hang up and hung up.

“Damn it.”

That dreamer girl, why did you tell me this when you’re in a crisis these days?
To be squeezed out of guilt during sparring with Ferold?

…No.
Even Rius knew that much.
This is vitality

With a roar, Rius felt that his heart was on fire.

In the first place, I didn’t enter the academy to get Dre’s approval.
Rius made a lot of money, he just wanted to show off to the villagers and revitalize the village.

That’s it.

Fire.
When it comes to fire, it’s Dre.
Then I am eight days old.
Ok, fine.

Reus is a whoop. I took a deep breath.
It’s been a long time… I feel like I’m back to the real Rius Pleus.
It seems that Rius has become a hard worker.

“Okay this.”

A disciple seat that will be lost anyway.
Let’s take it as my experience…!

9 o’clock the next morning.
Rius, who came straight to the first building of the combat department training center, approached Ferold, who was warming up.

“Ferld.”
“What is it? Rius Pleu…”

Ferold stopped talking.
Yesterday, the eyes are different.

…No.

‘This guy’s eyes were originally like this.’

He was a guy who never gave up on weak subjects.
It’s been weird lately…
Maybe that’s why he didn’t like it any more.

“What?”

The same question as before, but with a different tone, Rius smiled and raised his middle finger.

“Let’s fight! Fuck you!”

I’m eight now

‘It’s insulting to say Dre hyung!!’
