I went to school for nothing (93)
Lesson 20. A family member can be copied? – 3
Light was born as the first prince of the most prosperous kingdom in his dimension.
“I mean the prince.”
“Why why?! Is it so strange that I am a prince?”
“No, go ahead.”
There was a story passed down as a legend in the kingdom.
The story of a man who stood up with a sword made from a fallen star when the dimension was in chaos due to an alien invasion drove them out and established a holy kingdom.
In fact, the Holy Sword was kept in the kingdom, and it was said that if an alien invasion occurred again someday, the descendants of the first king would stand up again holding the Holy Sword and destroy them.
But in fact, it turned out to be a lie a long time ago.
This is because no successor to the Holy Sword has appeared despite the alien invasion from over 100 years ago.
“Did you get chosen?”
“That’s right, but listen quietly.”
Light was chosen by the Holy Sword when he was eight years old.
To be more precise, it was at the age of eight that I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit from the necklace that had been handed down to the first prince of the royal family along with the holy sword.
“…”
“Why are you making that face and keeping your mouth shut?”
“Listen quietly.”
The Holy Spirit was none other than the self of the Holy Sword.
As the arrangement of the first king who was concerned about his descendants, the ego of the holy sword was stored separately so that it was easy to find the successor of the holy sword when he appeared, and even if he could not handle the sword, he protected his descendants with the power of the Holy Spirit.
“The Holy Spirit… is it the Holy Spirit?”
“huh. Originally, a weapon that has reached a legend has an ego. I’m not artificially beating you like you…”
“The Holy Spirit protects you.”
“You’ve been protecting not only me, but our kingdom for generations. … Isn’t that great?”
“…”
The life of Wright, who was chosen as the successor, changed dramatically.
I had to wear clothes I didn’t wear and had to go through hard training at a young age.
However, because the Holy Spirit always protected Light, his body and mind grew stronger, and when he reached the age of thirteen, he stood on the battlefield holding a holy sword.
A series of battles took place against monsters that invaded his dimension, refugees from the other world, pirates, and others, and Light continued to grow in those battles.
It was at the age of sixteen that I realized that I had changed irreversibly.
“I thought it was to blame for the ongoing battle. At worst, there were times when I didn’t let go of the sword in my hand for nearly ten days… I couldn’t imagine not holding the holy sword.”
“I think that might be too much.”
“I just thought for a moment. The meaning of my existence is only that I am the owner of the holy sword.”
I’ve been holding a holy sword since I was eight years old.
That’s why I couldn’t do anything without the holy sword.
It was natural for him to think that he was ‘real’ when he was holding the holy sword.
“At least in the kingdom, without the holy sword, I had no value whatsoever. Maybe that’s why I jumped into the battlefield even more. From then on, no one had to force me to go to the battlefield…”
I fought like that for another year.
A year of being able to wield the Holy Sword better without any change.
At the age of 17, he received a call to Union Academy.
Holding the holy sword, he took the academy entrance exam to protect his dimension.
“You were well prepared to lay down the holy sword here.”
At this point, I am amazed at how I was able to give up the holy sword on the contrary.
Wright frowned horribly at those words.
“Even on the battlefield, I was not a conductor, but a wild beast drunk with the power of the holy sword. At that time, that was enough. But in the tower… it wasn’t like that.”
The fact that the entire team suffered damage and finally retired due to his own fault made him resolve to release the holy sword for the first time in his life.
However, he, who had originally been unable to find any meaning in himself without the Holy Sword, began to feel the gap with the talented people around him and deepened his negative thoughts after taking up another weapon… “The Holy Spirit kept telling me not to do useless things
. get angry When we were in our dimension, the reaction was not so intense. I could have taken the necklace off my body, albeit for a very brief moment. But not now. That’s why I think it might be better to just give up and grab the holy sword again.”
“Wright, I’ll be honest with you on my thoughts. Isn’t that a complete curse?”
“…”
Wright couldn’t deny it immediately.
Instead, the necklace hanging around his neck reacted violently.
“Keuk!”
“light!”
“It’s okay. I was thinking that if I told you about it, you would get angry…”
Banyuyuan urgently activated several types of verbal magic.
I wonder if the experience of the past few days was helpful, and the pain relief and protection he quickly built up was bestowed on Light, suppressing his pain.
“Thank you Ban…!”
He was so cute that he tried to smile with teary eyes, so Ban Yu-won had to hit his head with his fist to resist the urge to hug him right away.
Then I realized.
Didn’t he just cast the verbal magic that affects his body directly on Light?
Is this because his magical ability has grown, or is it because Light has become accustomed to his magical powers and instinctively accepts them in the process of using his amulet?
‘If it’s just like this, can’t I solve Light’s problem myself…?’
But the moment he inadvertently reached out to Light with that thought in mind, the necklace around Light’s neck started to emit menacing sparks, so he couldn’t be greedy for more.
Of course, I didn’t give up.
I knew roughly how the necklace was affecting Light, and I knew what to do to handle the holy sword.
If Light slowly becomes accustomed to the magic and authority of the semi-yuwon like this, he will be able to try a more daring trick someday.
“Let’s be a little closer to Wright from now on.”
“Huh huh?! You too me…!”
“No, not that, stupid.”
Ban Yu-Won fed honey chestnuts to Wright’s head, who had another useless misunderstanding.
To be honest, it’s not once or twice that I feel like I’m going to fall for this guy’s charm, but now is not the time to think about that.
“I might come up with a plan to help you with my abilities. So, you just have to keep working hard like this.”
“But in this case, it will gradually become a burden in the exploration, so it is better to hold the holy sword even if you risk the side effects.”
“Light, you are mistaken.”
Can not help it.
To prevent Light from becoming arrogant, Dok-go-yeon had no choice but to say what he had been holding back all along.
“I must have forgotten because I held it for so long, but you did not exist because of the Holy Sword, but because you had the ability, you were chosen by the Holy Sword. The fact that you are the owner of the Holy Sword proves your talent more than anything else.”
This is not the first time Ban Yu-won has said this.
Hadn’t Wright himself said something similar before?
But in the meantime, it seems that Wright’s self-torture has increased.
“What if that talent is a talent specialized only in handling the holy sword? As a descendant of His Majesty the first king, if only he could wield a holy sword and had no other talents!”
“If Light were you, the holy sword.”
“I’m not a holy sword…”
Ban Yu-won glared at Light to silence him and continued.
“If you were a holy sword, what criteria would you use to determine your own master? In a situation where the dimension is ruined if you choose the wrong one.”
“That’s right… a person who is as strong and wise as possible.”
“Then the answer came.”
There was no such thing as a ‘talent specialized in handling holy swords’.
If ownership was simply handed down through blood, the owner of the holy sword would have appeared before Light.
If Light hadn’t had enough talent, the Holy Sword would never have reacted to him.
“So think the other way around. Because it’s you, you can handle the holy sword. In fact, spear skills are also improving very quickly, so don’t be depressed for nothing. Don’t be discouraged by needlessly comparing yourself to others.”
“…”
“No, and you were ranked 6th in the overall evaluation of fighting without a holy sword. Are you kidding me? Do you want everyone to die below that? I’m 8, too.”
“It is, however.”
Of course, if Ban Yu-Won hadn’t accidentally run into Dok-Ko-Yeon in the middle, he would have ranked even higher, but that’s just one assumption.
Who can underestimate the potential of Wright, who quickly mastered it even after changing his main weapon to a spear, and even recorded a single digit rank in the midst of this evaluation sparring?
“If you understand, get up now. Even if you say you’re taking a break this week, you’ll be back in the tower next week. There is no time to worry.”
“Yeah…”
It’s not perfect, but it seems like he’s convinced.
Light nodded slightly and took his outstretched hand.
“You said you hated it half ago.”
“huh?”
“That is a lie. I don’t like it. … just like that.”
“Yeah thanks.”
My heart was pounding, but I tried to answer calmly.
It wasn’t what I was aiming for.
If I had been smart enough to make such remarks, I would not have been caught in the first place.
…Yes, if I had a good feeling, I wouldn’t have been in this situation in the first place.
‘The holy sword is the standard for determining one’s master.’
Ban Yu-won acknowledged Wright’s idea as the answer, but the truth was different.
There must have been a more important condition than anything else for the Holy Spirit.
You will be naive enough to be easily tricked right away.
‘There are two Spirits in that necklace.’
I don’t know if it’s the Holy Spirit or the Demon Spirit.
The guy Light thinks is the Holy Spirit probably isn’t real.
If you simply divide good and evil into holy and evil, you should get rid of the spirit right away, but to do so, it bothers you that the sword Light was handling clearly emitted holy power while communicating with him.
So, is it really a demon?
Or is it simply that the demon is suppressing the Holy Spirit by some means and controlling the holy sword instead?
‘Umm, I can’t even touch it yet. I can’t even touch it.’
A sigh comes out.
I’m busy growing alone, but there are so many people I need to take care of.
If possible, I would like to divide my body into about five parts, but it was really regrettable that division is a concept that people cannot have.
“But there you are.”
“huh?”
For some reason, Light, who was still holding his hand without thinking about standing up, suddenly spoke to him.
“So what happened to that Mira woman after all?”
“huh?”
“no way.”
“Ugh?!”
Light pulled him hard.
Ban Yu-won could not overcome his strength and had to flop down on the floor again.
“You man!”
“Originally, friends weren’t hiding anything. I talked about it, so tell me too.”
“Ha, it’s really absurd until the end.”
To put conditions on your own and pretend you don’t know.
Moreover, such shameless words often come out on the subject of hiding one’s gender.
Ban Yu-won was stunned, but he was determined to endure the irrationality from the very beginning, so he had no choice but to adapt to his insistence.
“I can’t tell you everything because there is also a privacy issue.”
“What is that! In a mean way!”
“You need to look at your true self.”
Eventually, after that, it was late because they were talking about this and that, and when the two returned to the dormitory, it was past dinner time.
