I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 112

Chapter 112

Episode 112

“what?”

“What tricks can you use in a strict judgement duel where even the use of magic tools is prohibited? If you do something like that, you will be beheaded for cheating, so you have no choice but to fight fairly and with skill.”

Marian frowned.

“Then? Are you saying that you can defeat Ashed with your skills?”

“No. That’s impossible. I’m a 4-star, how can I beat Ashed, who’s a 5-star?”

Christian shook his head calmly.

What if we use Sung-Hwi’s power together?

Even Chris would have been defeated by Mine’s power alone.

The difference between 4 stars and 5 stars was that big.

“earthly?!”

“…I will cancel the duel and come back, Sister.”

It was at this moment that Marian became angry and Count Kazar stood up from his seat with a serious face.

“Right now.”

“…what?”

“It’s impossible to win now.”

Strange story.

People’s expressions changed.

“Does that mean it’ll be possible in a month?”

“yes.”

Christian nodded, still drinking his juice.

Count Khazar reacted with astonishment.

“…What kind of nonsense is that? It’s only been a month. What can you do in just a month….”

“You should say ‘a month or’, not ‘only’ a month. A month is by no means a short period of time.”

Christian added.

“For a genius like me.”

“…….”

Count Kazar remained silent.

It was a story that made no sense.

but.

‘…if he were my son.’

A while ago, I remembered the crazy behavior Christian had shown at the Countess of Ribery and had an absurd thought.

If you’re a Christian.

You never know what kind of miracle might happen in a month.

“…….”

Everyone was speechless for a moment and looked at Christian, and Marian spoke first.

“Then, I will help you cultivate.”

“Aunt?”

“Even you will have limitations in your ability to practice on your own, so I will help you.”

An unexpected offer.

At that moment, Count Khazar stepped forward.

“No need, Sister. Christian is my son. I will guide him.”

“Shouldn’t you go back to the countship?”

“You can leave it to Tern.”

“Tern, to that little boy? You’re crazy. No matter how much you want to guide your son, you can’t do that.”

“Isn’t it the same for you, Sister? You should be faithful to your duties as the Commander of the Black Shadow Knights.”

Christian looked dumbfounded at the sight of the two engaging in an unexpected war of nerves.

‘…I don’t need either.’

As I was wondering how to refuse, something unexpected suddenly happened.

There was a knock on the door of the inn, and an unexpected person appeared.

It was Simon, a handsome vampire butler with a pale complexion.

“Why the butler?”

Marian frowned.

Simon grinned, showing his fangs.

“I came here because of the referee duel. I think I need a month of training.”

“!!”

Count Kazar and Marian’s faces hardened.

“It is I, the father, who will teach Christian, Deacon General.”

“No, it’s my aunt’s share, so don’t think of anything unnecessary and go back. Ridan, you go back to the Baekjak territory too.”

Both of them seemed very eager to teach Christian.

Simon chuckled.

“I think there is some misunderstanding. To be honest, I am also greedy, but I am not the one who will teach. There is someone else who will teach Confucius.”

“Who? Could it be you?”

In that moment, everyone’s eyes widened.

Simon nodded as if to say that he was right.

“Yes, the master himself said that he would give the teachings.”

“!!”

It was something we all never thought of.

Marian and Count Kazar remained silent.

They said that the Norse would teach it themselves, so there was no room for the likes of them to step forward.

It was a tremendous opportunity, above all else.

Of course, the Norse teachings are notorious. But that doesn’t apply to Christian.

His genius combined with Norse teachings could result in explosive results in a month.

“Go, Confucius. The Master is waiting for you at the secret training ground.”

It seems like he’s talking about the training ground he used when he first learned dark magic from Nordian.

‘I received a lot of help back then too.’

Chris recalled the teachings he had received from Nordian at the time.

If it weren’t for Nordian’s excellent(?) teachings, even Chris wouldn’t have been able to accept dark magic so easily.

‘I’m sure it will be of great help this time too.’

however.

Christian gave an answer that no one expected.

“I am sorry. I will refuse your teachings, Master.”

“!!!”

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

Even Simon, who always has a poker face, looked surprised.

“Confucius? These are the teachings of the Master.”

“Yes, I know, but I refuse.”

“!!!”

Everyone reacted with even more shock at the second rejection, but Christian had no intention of changing his mind.

‘This month is very important to me.’

Okay, here’s the question.

What should Christian do this month?

Reaching 5 stars as a mine?

no.

Even for a Christian, it was impossible to reach 5 stars in a month.

Of course, if you force yourself, you can reach a level of enlightenment that is 5 stars, but there is no point in doing so.

So what should we do?

‘We need to lay the ‘foundation’ to move up.’

Chris is now a 4 star ‘Prime’ class.

‘Prime’ is the pinnacle of technology.

In other words, up to 4 stars was a realm of skill.

It was different from 5 stars.

From 5 stars onwards, it was the realm of ‘will’.

The important thing is that even at the same level, skill levels can vary greatly depending on the will one sets.

Therefore, for 5 stars, ‘how’ it is achieved is much more important than ‘when’ it is achieved.

Depending on what kind of will you have, the difference in strength and even the limits of your future growth are determined.

‘We must lay a solid foundation now.’

A very important time.

Of course, I’m not saying we’ll just lay the foundation.

‘We must also amplify our strength as much as possible.’

There was a showdown with Ashed, but there was a more important reason.

It is because of the Gold Cross disaster that is now right before our eyes.

To prevent that terrible tragedy, power alone was not enough.

It had to be much stronger than it is now.

Norse teachings alone were not enough.

“sorry.”

“This is difficult.”

Simon looked embarrassed.

The image of Nordian, who was expecting(?) to teach Christian, came to mind.

It was hard to imagine this considering Norse’s usual appearance, but Norse pretended not to and was secretly looking forward to this lesson.

Aren’t you still going to the training center first and waiting for Christian to come?

But it looks nice(?).

‘…I wonder how the lord will react.’

Simon cleared his throat.

“Then what kind of training do you plan to do?”

“This is actual training. I will fight against the demons alone to hone my skills.”

Everyone looked puzzled at that answer.

It may be effective, but it is not a training method suitable for the current situation.

however.

“The training location is… I’m going to a forbidden place in my family.”

“…yes?”

“Could you please tell the owner to allow me to use the spot?”

“!!”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

“You… are you crazy and want to die?”

Count Khazar spoke for everyone.

It was natural.

Spot.

It refers to the passage leading to the realm of Gehenna.

That is, Christian decided to do practical training on the border of Gehenna.

* ? ?* ? ?*

Meanwhile, at that time.

South of the Dark Maga.

It was at the Gold Cross.

The most central, the royal palace of the Republic of Argentina.

A girl had an expressionless face.

Emerald green hair and jewel-like sapphire eyes.

She was a girl with an infinitely beautiful appearance, like a fairy in a fairy tale, but her complexion was not good.

A haggard appearance, as if suffering from an illness.

“Your Highness, have you skipped your meal again?”

The maid said with a pitiful face.

The girl glanced at the food, then slowly shook her head.

Movements like a puppet with its strings cut off.

“…I have no appetite.”

“But Your Majesty, isn’t this already your third meal?”

“…….”

“If Your Majesty, the Little Dharma King who will carry on the will of the Dharma Kingdom, does not take care of his own health like this….”

It was an amazing story.

The Gold Cross is a federation of countless small nations.

But it wasn’t without a system.

He served the kingdom of Beopguk, which succeeded Seonghyeol (星血), as the superior kingdom and made it his spiritual pillar.

The Pope of the State of the Law was held in the same respect as the Emperor of the Empire, and played a role in coordinating the countless allied nations.

This means that this girl is Princess Olivia, the next heir to the great kingdom.

But the girl, Princess Olivia’s eyes were utterly empty.

The light of wisdom that had spread far and wide to the Holy Empire spoke in a dead voice, nowhere to be found.

“…It’s okay. I don’t have an appetite.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I don’t want to eat it!!”

“!!”

The maids flinched.

Olivia’s rough cry was completely different from the rumors that she was like an angel.

Olivia had long since changed from what was rumored.

About a year ago, to be exact.

It was because of the death of one person.

‘The Cursed Prince’.

The corruption of the law.

A character who should have died a long time ago.

After his death, Princess Olivia changed.

“…When my brother died without anyone knowing, I couldn’t even be there. I was just there to greet that meager delegation.”

Tears streamed down Olivia’s eyes.

“The work of the Dharma Kingdom, the work of the Dharma King. What use is this? I couldn’t even prevent the death of the only person I cherish.”

The maids swallowed a sigh.

It was taboo in the law kingdom to speak of the story of the cursed prince.

Because it was the seed of the devil whose existence must never be acknowledged.

Now, it would have been wrong for Olivia to be lamenting like that, but Olivia was in no condition to be discussing such things.

“…Let me out.”

“…Understood, Your Majesty.”

Olivia, left alone, buried her head in her knees.

A sob escaped.

“…Brother.”

* ? ?* ? ?*

Chris headed to the downtown area of the castle.

‘Let’s make the necessary preparations in advance.’

It’s like going to the edge of Gehenna.

A dangerous place where you could lose your life in an instant.

Since we had to prepare thoroughly, we headed to the gambling house on top of Rudolph.

“Are you saying that you wish to see the Lord?”

The branch manager made a troubled face.

“The Lord of the Upper World is not here. He is so elusive.”

Chris nodded.

‘He must be at Gold Cross by now.’

Ruina will be diligently carrying out the tasks assigned by Chris.

‘It’s difficult. I have to see Ruina.’

If you use the relic that Ruina has, you can jump over space and come running straight to her, but the problem is how to contact her.

Ruina didn’t establish a hotline with Christian.

It’s a strange thing when you think about their relationship.

Perhaps, it seemed like it was done on purpose.

Because Ruina considers Chris as her compatible mama.

It seemed like a tactic to avoid meeting them as much as possible since they would just get ripped off.

‘But it’s not like there’s no way.’
