Chapter 104
C104: {U.N. Owen} (2)
Only 1 chapter today. Sorry I couldnt release 2.
Rudger Chelici had a teacher, a benefactor who taught him magic and how to live in this world. But at the same time, he is also the one who traumatized him after overworking him.
While traveling with his teacher, Rudger went through many things. Most of them were extraordinary and difficult experiences. Of course, I wont deny that I came to my current position because I had those experiences.
Still, it was inevitable that I sometimes thought, Wasnt it a little too much then.
Because of his teacher, he was involved in various incidents and was hurt a lot. That was the case with Pantos.
The Suin race are naturally born warriors and Pantos was born way superior to them. Although the normal Suing race members have superior physical abilities, there is no big difference in appearance from humans.
Except for the ears and tail, there are more fine muscles attached to the body, and the elasticity of the muscles is far superior to that of humans.
In terms of appearance, it was meaningless to distinguish the differences but Pantos was different. He showed a big difference in appearance compared to other Suin people. Even at a young age, one head was taller than children of his age, and nearly twice the size.
When he was a child, he was almost comparable to an adult, and now that he is an adult, hes way more than that.
He was not slow or dull due to his large size, in fact he was faster than other Suins. His steps on the great meadow were faster than wild horses running in the wind.
At that time, the tribe had no doubt that he would be the next chief but Pantos rejected it for one reason.
This place is too small for me.
His heart was always directed at a wider world.
He wanted to use all his power, to risk it all and bump into it.
It didnt matter who it was. If there was just a huge wall, it was important to jump over it.
Pantos also traveled around the world and challenged many beings.
While he was wandering like that, he came to a small fishing village at the northeast end of the continent. Pantos stayed there, overcoming his fear of water, hunting whales, and overcoming his limits. He became stronger, much more than when I was in the meadow.
His spirit was renewed and his ego enlarged.
At that time he was going to challenge Rudgers teacher.
The wizard Pantos was originally aiming for was my teacher. In the first place, there was no famous wandering wizard except for him.
But why did you fight for him?
Pantos came when my teacher wasnt around
Ah.
Pantos came to see Rudgers teacher. However, at that time, his master was absent.
So did you fight?
I said my teacher was away, but Pantos didnt listen.
Pantos came to fight the strong.
Rudger said his teacher was gone, but Pantos didnt believe it because his sixth sense kept warning him that the man in front of him its strong.
Pantos opened his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed.
I fight because you feel strong.
Pantos was convinced that his judgment was not wrong then.
The moment he actually entered the fight, Rudger showed incredible strength and knocked him down.
In the beginning, Pantos had the upper hand. The superior physical ability and hunting instinct created by the wildness of the Suin people were enough to defeat a wizard.
The swift magic used by Rudger did not hurt his robust body, and the coordinate magic he used was read by Pantos transcendent senses and evaded.
Nevertheless, Rudger also narrowly endured without being unilaterally beaten by Pantos.
The fight was fierce until Rudgers mana gradually diminished. At that moment, he used real magic.
When Pantos thought of that time, he felt the feeling of fear that he thought had been completely overcome, resurface.
I fell down in an instant. I didnt have time to resist. It was an indisputable defeat for me.
Pantos would not exist in this world now if Rudgers teacher had not returned at that time.
And later, when he came to his senses, Rudger made a suggestion.
You have something in your heart that cannot be resolved. If you need help, then please come to me.
Thats why Pantos responded to Rudgers call.
A strong man who mercilessly defeated him called him and he said he would remove the thirst hidden deep inside him.
I couldnt help but follow.
Even when suddenly he entrusted a boy named Arpa to him and asked him to show the world.
Even when he told him to be quiet until the next time he called.
Pantos silently fulfilled those words because he was convinced that only Rudger could give him real meaning.
Rudger, the person involved, said in a tone that it was not a big deal.
Whatever happens, Pantos will be the main fighter in our organization. His actual combat power ranks second.
There was no one to refute that statement.
Pantos overbearing appearance and the momentum flowing from him were shouting that he was a strong man.
There was no one here who couldnt feel it.
You all have your own roles. Pantos is a combat agent, Hans is in charge of intelligence, Seridan is in the development department and Belaruna is in charge of drugs and pensions.
Leader, what about me?
Alex, youre a reserve whos in charge of field entry and fighting in case of emergency with me.
A reserve? Your evaluation is a bit poor.
Your greatest ability lies in being able to cope with any situation. There is no one who moves as fluidly as you do and performs well in the field.
Rudger! What about me?
Arpa asked, raising his hand.
The naive question put Rudger in a dilemma.
Arpa, what did you learn while you were away?
Well, Ive seen a lot of things in the world with Mr. Pantos.
Did you feel anything while seeing them?
I do not know. I cant seem to find anything like that yet. oh But I am sure of one thing.
What was it?
This world is really beautiful.
The conversation was difficult to understand by those not involved in it.
Is that so?
Rudger reflected on Arpas words with his arms crossed. Then he said,
Arpa is smart. You can remember everything you saw at once.
Everything? Without missing anything?
Yeah, from the moment I called him here. How many people he ran into by the side of the road, and what they looked like. Arpa remembers everything.
Arpas specialty was called total memory, though only one of his specialties to be exact
With this ability Arpa doesnt have a special role since you can do anything.
[You can do anything.] The meaning of the word was great.
Everyone is exceptional in one field in this place, but Arpa encompasses all those fields.
Violetta gulped.
Indeed, as Rudger said, all of them had missing screws but they were not ordinary.
And lastly, Violetta.
What?
Violetta did not understand why Rudger called her.
You will also work with us.
Me?
Violetta had never heard of such a thing, so she turned it around politely.
I just came here to guide the owner in the first place. I am also very busy with my current business.
The business is already progressing step by step, isnt it?
Because I design the clothes.
Didnt you finish them and organize the draft?
That.
Violetta couldnt think of anything to refute. To be honest, there wasnt much she could do about it since the business was already on track.
She needs to periodically check to see if things are going well, but in fact everyone will be fine without her.
Still, she said that there was one reason why she was uncomfortable with this position.
I dont know if I can join this place.
This was her sincerity.
Violetta saw the face of the people she gathered in this place and she realized at first sight.
These are colleagues who hung out with the man named James Moriarty or now Rudger Chelici and she is not fit for this position.
Why do you think so?
Well everyone else has their own merits, but I dont..
Violetta.
Rudger called her name quietly.
If you werent good enough I wouldnt have brought you here.
Still, there is only one reason why I brought you and introduced you to everyone. You deserve to be with us.
Me.
Violetta spoke in a trembling voice.
Is that really possible?
Of course, I dont talk nonsense.
Im not good at magic either.
It hasnt been long since you learned it, but your aptitude for wind magic is very high. You didnt have anyone to teach you but this will change from now on.
My status is low, too.
I dont judge people by the insignificant standards of their status. There is only ability that I see.
But I.
No more excuses came to mind as she was speechless when Rudger said he acknowledged her.
Watching the scene, Rudger turned his back from the wall.
Its a complex face. Good. Lets do this. You dont have to say such nonsense. You only have to answer one thing.
Violettas eyes, which were on the tip of his toes, headed back to Rudger.
He was now staring at her with an unshakable stare.
Would you like to join us?
When asked, Violetta was surrounded by strange emotions, especially yearning.
She thought that she wanted to be with them but her status was low and she had only learned a little bit of magic. Will she really be worthy of that position? Maybe just being here would be an insult to this place.
But Rudger didnt. Rather, he urged her to join them.
How can she reject those words that seem to see through her heart accurately?
Even so, no words came out. So far, she hasnt shown it, but once she realized it, her situation and self-esteem caught her ankle and took hold of her.
Rudger spoke quietly and softly.
I want to hear your sincerity.
.
Violetta caught her breath for a moment to calm down while Rudger waited quietly for her answer.
Having regained her composure, Violetta smiled broadly at Rudger.
Ill join you.
As a result, Violetta became the leader of the Women of the Black Rose and also a member of the U.N. Owen.
Thats good.
Rudger nodded with satisfaction then he glanced through the crowd.
They are all the best people he knew. Its a shame that not all of them came, but this much is more than he expected.
Then lets start a strategy meeting to learn each others skills.
And to say the reason why he gathered them.
Were going to rob the Kunst auction house soon.
