I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 6

Chapter 6

Episode 6

“No, just a moment.”

Vice-captain Merlin mediated with a troubled expression.

“No, I think it would be better to find a suitable opponent. You do know that Tern-nim’s realm is 2-star, right?”

2 stars.

It was an amazing story.

Because Tern was only thirteen years old.

When learning swords or magic from childhood, it was usually after the twenties that they reached 2nd star.

If you don’t have talent, there are many cases where you won’t even be able to step foot on the second star threshold.

“There are many servants in this order, so I think it would be a good fit for you to hang out with them.”

Even if he were just a seed, it would be enough to beat Chris up pretty good, thought Vice-Captain Merlin.

“No, since I’m proving my qualifications, I should do it properly. I want to compete with Tern.”

“!!”

“Now! Tern, what do you think? I think you’ve been hoping for a place like this, too.”

Chris spoke in a joking manner.

“Or maybe you’re not scared of my brother?”

Tern was busy gritting his teeth.

The sound of the string of patience snapping echoed in Tern’s head.

“…I will accept the duel.”

Vice-Captain Merlin sighed.

But deep down I thought it was a good thing.

‘If it’s Prince Tern, then whatever happens isn’t my fault.’

If a knight of the Black Swamp Knights manages to inflict serious injury on that rascal during a duel, her position will be in trouble.

But Tern is a brother, so this duel is a fight between brothers.

If something happens, her responsibility becomes much lighter.

‘He originally hated his brother, the bastard, so he won’t end it lightly. If possible, it would be good to cripple at least one leg. I wonder if Prince Tern’s heart is weak and he wouldn’t go that far.’

As expected of a Mine, she despised the weak.

In particular, scoundrels like Christian were the worst.

‘You dare to defile the territory of the Black Swamp Knights without even knowing the subject.’

That thought was shared by all the other knights of the order.

“Master Tern, take this opportunity to tame that brat!”

“If you send me back in good health, today is special training!”

Amidst such enthusiastic cheers, the two entered the training grounds for a duel.

It was a duel done with bare hands, without using magic, as Chris had requested.

“How dare you….”

Tern gritted his teeth and let out a fierce aura.

Chris asked Vice-Captain Merlin.

“What are the rules for the duel? Until the opponent surrenders?”

“no.”

Vice-captain Merlin shook his head.

If that happens, that poor bastard might surrender as soon as he gets hit once.

“That would be too bland. Let’s just say you’ve lost when you’re incapacitated.”

It was probably a rule intended to give Chris a hard time.

The men whistled and sang along happily. It was almost a festive atmosphere.

Everyone was hoping that Chris would turn into a blood clot soon.

“You heard the rules? What do you do?”

Chris shrugged.

“You must have been hit a lot?”

“!!”

Tern’s face turned red again.

The moment he opened his mouth to say something, he was very angry.

Something unbelievable happened.

Phew!

Chris’s fist struck Tern in the face.

Blood spurted out, and Chris smirked and said,

“What are you doing? A fight has started.”

* ? ?* ? ?*

In fact, this was nothing short of a scam.

A duel where you limit your magic and fight with your bare hands.

‘Under these conditions, there would be almost no mines in the entire Black Swamp Knights that could be my opponent?’

As a mine, he didn’t even reach 1st star.

However, if we were to express it in terms of the realm of the light faction, that is, the ‘Starlight’, he was a three-star knight.

On the other hand, Tern is now only a 2 star.

His skills were far superior to begin with.

Even before his regression, he was not a 3-star, but a 4-star.

‘If you’re a 4 star, you’re capable enough to aim for the position of vice-captain or top officer in a small or medium-sized knighthood.’

That’s not all.

He has completely transformed.

Although he looked thin on the outside because he hadn’t put on any muscle yet, on the inside he was stronger than anyone else.

But no matter how great a talent he was, would Tern, a mere thirteen-year-old boy, be his match?

‘No way. Go drink some more breast milk and come back… Oh, is that the same mother as me?’

Chris, who had been hastily throwing a punch, swung his fist again.

Phew!

Tern’s head snapped back.

Not stopping there, Chris stayed close to the unconscious Tern.

A knee that hits you in the stomach.

He naturally bent his back in pain and swung his fist upward.

Phew!

Tern fell to the floor with a crisp sound.

“…….”

“…….”

The intestines became quiet.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Chris.

They looked like they were seeing things, as if they couldn’t accept reality.

“How did this happen?”

“Did Master Tern let his guard down?”

“So that’s it? Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense.”

It seemed that Tern himself had the same thought.

He gritted his teeth and got up from his seat again.

But it already looked bad.

His face was covered in blood, and his legs were shaking faintly, perhaps because his head was pounding.

“What the heck are you talking about?”

“creation?”

“Otherwise, there’s no way I could be treated by you, hyung?!”

Tern screamed at Barak.

Chris snickered.

“Does this look like a trick? Then.”

Phew!

The fist struck again.

“It should be more accurate.”

Again, boom!

Blood flowed from Tern’s nose.

‘Well, that’s a bit harsh.’

There was a reason why I chose Tern on purpose.

‘I had to give it a try once.’

It was obvious that if I left it alone, it would just whine endlessly and get tired, so I created an opportunity.

Well, if there are some back and forth punches, wouldn’t a bond between brothers develop? Of course, the punches will be one-sided.

‘And there’s another important reason.’

Chris provoked Tern for that ‘purpose’.

“But you have a lot of nosebleeds. Oh, you’re not crying, are you? Um, sorry… Should I, uh, do it for you?”

“Kuaaaah!!!”

Tern let out a sound that was either a howl or a scream.

Finally, Chris did what he had intended.

Pfft!

Tern’s fist was tinged with black energy.

It’s the manifestation of magic.

“Kuaaaah!!”

Tern lost his mind and swung a magical fist at Chris.

The Black Swamp Knights’ minions were belatedly taken aback. Vice-captain Melin also said, “Oh no.”

‘If I get hit by that magic, I’ll die!’

Even so, if she dies, her position will become very difficult.

But it was too late to intervene.

Merlin’s complexion turned pale.

But Chris smiled without anyone knowing.

‘Bingo. It came out just as I intended. I wondered what would happen if I held it in like you did.’

It was all as intended.

Chris glanced at Vice-Captain Merlin.

‘Now, open your eyes and watch carefully. What I’m doing.’

Through this duel, he hoped to catch the eye of Vice-Captain Merlin.

Merlin is a mine from the Dark Maga clan.

Also, he is a great player who will reach the level of a 6-star master during the Great War.

The method was simple.

You just have to show them a sight that will make them astonish.

‘The way for the weak to stand up to the strong is simple. Just use your strength.’

The problem is that this can only flow if there is a certain balance of power.

If you touch the magic with your bare hands, you will be fatally wounded before it even spills.

So Chris took a different approach.

Chris glanced into Tern’s eyes.

Tern was bewildered at himself for losing his mind and launching a fatal attack.

Is it because of that confusion?

The energy of the magic was unstable.

Chris looked straight at Magi this time.

The flying magic sparkled like flames.

In the midst of the irregular dancing, a weak spot was momentarily revealed.

Chris didn’t miss that fleeting moment.

He struck that weak spot with his palm, and the impact shattered the magic surrounding Tern’s fist.

“ah?”

Tern’s eyes widened in confusion.

and.

That was the last one.

Phew!

The fist landed.

Tern fell backwards from the direct punch.

I fainted.

“…….”

The intestines became quiet.

The Knights Templar didn’t quite understand what had just happened.

“What happened? Why Magi?”

“Did Tern put away his magic because he was afraid that that rascal would get hurt?”

It was a sight that left one with no choice but to think that way.

Because, according to their common sense, it was absolutely impossible to disintegrate the flying magic by striking its weak points.

But there was one person who reacted differently.

The most powerful high-ranking mine in this place was Vice-Captain Melin.

Her face was set in a hard grim expression.

With eyes filled with a mixture of shock and disbelief.

‘It was a success.’

Chris smiled inwardly at Merlin’s reaction.

“Is this enough to qualify?”

“…is it so.”

Merlin opened his mouth slowly.

Although she was trying hard to hide her embarrassment, Chris could see what she was thinking.

Chris smiled brightly.

“Then I will ask for your help in the future.”

Now it was time to drain the Black Swamp Knights’ foundation.

* ? ?* ? ?*

From that day on, Chris trained with the Black Swamp Knights at the training grounds.

However, they did not receive the same training.

Same space, but completely separate.

The Black Swamp Knights trained as a set order of knights, and Chris trained on his own as a basic physical trainer.

Although he didn’t act up or act like the Mines had feared, he still grimaced, perhaps because it bothered them.

“It sounds like a fly is buzzing next to me.”

“He’s more docile than I thought.”

“Even a scoundrel knows his place. No one would dare to cause trouble to the Black Swamp Knights.”

“How long will this pretense of hard work last? Two days?”

“I have one day.”

“I have half a day.”

Even though they defeated Tern, the Mines’ evaluation was still harsh.

The Mines thought Chris had tricked them into beating Tern.

Chris’s destruction of Magi at the end was also misunderstood as Tern’s hand being taken care of.

“It was I who should have stepped forward, not Master Tern. Then I could have given him a hard time.”

It was when the mines were grumbling like that.

A cold rebuke was heard.

“You’re just chatting away. Everyone seems to be free.”

“Vice-captain?”

“Instead of talking nonsense, swing your sword some more!”

At Vice-Captain Merlin’s shouting, the Mines tilted their heads and focused on their training.

He looked sharper than usual.

‘Why are you doing that?’

‘Are you upset because of that rascal?’

It was a half-right guess.

Merlin frowned.

‘The duel then. What the hell was it?’

She was shocked from the start of the duel.

It was because of Chris.
