Episode 93. What Light Teach (1)

Ossian watched Jonathan bowing his head to him.

There was not a single bit of falsehood in his powerful actions. He really asked Ossian for teachings.

Even Ossian couldn’t help but be perplexed by this.

“Please accept me as your disciple.”

Ossian first asked why.

Jonathan, at least, is familiar with me because we worked together on one request.

I couldn’t figure out any reason or motive for him to come all the way here and bow his head.

“I want to become stronger.”

Jonathan said in a deep voice.

It was a clear and concise statement, but I couldn’t think of anything more persuasive.

Perhaps it was because Jonathan had such a strong desire to become stronger.

“If you want to become stronger, why did you come to me?”

“Because I thought you could make it possible.”

The corners of Ossian’s eyes slightly curved.

While others thought Ossian’s strength was something innate, Jonathan felt it.

The power and strength he uses are something that can be acquired through acquired effort.

“But I’m curious as to why you came all of a sudden. Is there a reason? Someone like you wouldn’t be ignored no matter where you go.”

“Do you know about [Supremacy]?”

As you know.

A group comprised solely of mutants with exceptional abilities and talents.

Didn’t they just fight at the Goldilocks family mansion recently?

“Were you affiliated with that place?”

Jonathan shook his head with a bitter smile at Ossian’s question.

“On the contrary, I was the one who was ignored by them.”

“Weren’t we the same mutants?”

“They [Supremacy] only prefer superior mutants. They are a group of mutants who are discriminated against by humans, but they ignore or look down on mutants who are weaker than them. Only mutants above a certain level can join.”

The story goes that an organization created to fight discrimination is now perpetrating new forms of discrimination.

It wasn’t really surprising. People are usually sensitive to what I do and lenient when it comes to what I do to others.

It’s the same even if they’re mutants. They’re just humans born with powers, they’re not non-human.

“Is that why you came to see me?”

“I want to become stronger. I don’t want to be ignored by anyone.”

“Why do you want to become so strong?”

“I’ve lived my whole life at the bottom. But that day, the moment I saw the light you showed me, I realized. We have to live looking up.”

“we?”

Ossian felt something was off about Jonathan’s words.

Us? Us?

Only then did Ossian’s keen sense detect the presence of people gathered in groups of three or four outside the building.

As I opened the door and went outside, I saw familiar faces of the troubleshooters gathered there with nervous expressions.

Among them, there was one person I was familiar with.

“Hey. Long time no see.”

Commander David.

He waved his hand towards Ossian with a sly smile on his face.

Ossian knew what they had in common.

They saw the starlight of Ossian.

I came to him because I had a gut feeling that it was something other than the supernatural power of mutants.

Ossian was lost in thought for a moment.

‘Even if you suddenly ask me to make you stronger, I’m the one in trouble.’

If someone came to you out of nowhere and asked you to accept him as his disciple, anyone would think that way.

If you are someone who likes to show off your skills or likes to teach or train others, then it’s okay.

But Ossian wasn’t the type to talk much. He didn’t try to teach others anything.

How can you teach others when you yourself are not perfect?

That was also because my standards for myself were so high.

‘But at the same time, the moment I heard those words, my heart started pounding.’

The reason why Jonathan’s words are embarrassing but not completely unpleasant.

That’s probably because they sincerely want to teach themselves.

‘Those who want to become knights.’

In this era, there are no knights. All that remains is Ossian.

He is the last and final knight of this era.

But is it really that good?

That didn’t seem right. The title of Last Knight was cool, but Ossian didn’t want it.

I thought it would be too sad if the story line were to end like this.

It was a sense of mission that went beyond the natural thoughts of a knight’s body, and was held by a person who loved knights more than anyone else.

‘If I teach them.’

It can maintain the legacy of the article.

‘Of course, I don’t know if they can really become knights even if they put in the effort.’

From the beginning, I had doubts about whether I could teach properly since I had never taken the basic course myself.

He was a character in the game, and as he was born a wandering knight, he was naturally able to control the power of the Holy Light as he leveled up.

But Jonathan, David and others were different.

You don’t know if they are qualified or not, or if they have talent or not.

It may or may not work out just by putting in effort.

still.

No matter how much I thought about it, not even trying seemed like a no-no.

‘This isn’t a decision I can make on my own.’

Ossian first told Jonathan to wait outside, then went inside Violet Fox and sat down in front of Ronan.

“Haha. You seem to have a lot on your mind.”

“You don’t seem all that surprised.”

“Me? Of course I was surprised. Considering the time Mr. Ossian has been in this industry, it is really an unprecedented growth rate.”

“So, you already guessed that someone was going to ask me to teach them?”

“Because other people have gone through similar processes. In Tirna, freelancers like Troubleshooters worship strength. Only by being strong can you survive, earn more money, and gain social status and fame.”

Ossian nodded in agreement with that statement.

“As a result, people naturally emerge who follow the strong and chase after them.”

“That’s the case for me too.”

Ossian closed his eyes tightly for a moment and then slowly opened them.

“What would you like to be like?”

“Are you talking to me?”

“To be honest, I don’t know. I’m not sure if I can teach them properly. But I also don’t want to turn down those who approach me with such sincerity.”

“In other words, you don’t particularly hate it, but you don’t have a good solution either.”

“That’s what it is.”

So, rather than worrying alone, Ossian decided to seek advice.

This is because brokers do not simply connect work to problem solvers, but also play a caring role by listening to their concerns.

“Rather, isn’t it because you think too much?”

Ronan said, spreading his index finger wide.

“Do you have a lot of thoughts?”

“Yes. Sometimes it’s better to just go with your heart.”

“Do you think so too?”

“Well, when I invite other troubleshooters here at Violet Fox, I tend to make decisions with my heart rather than my head.”

Come to think of it, I’ve heard that said before.

I guess you could say he had a good sense. Ronan had an uncanny ability to spot talented gems.

“Rather, if you think too much, even the original correct answer can sometimes seem blurred. People end up making the wrong choice when that happens.”

“I see.”

“Besides, if you choose what you feel like doing, you’ll have less regrets even if you fail. Isn’t that better?”

Ossian chuckled at Ronan’s playful remark.

“Yeah. That’s not wrong either.”

As expected, asking Ronan for advice was the right choice.

Thanks to that, my head is clearer.

“But is it okay? It’s like the problem solver is trying to teach someone like that.”

“Because a problem solver is a symbol of freedom. I will support them in teaching others and building their personal power, if that is the path they choose.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t plan on becoming independent. I’ll just teach them how to get beaten up less when they go somewhere.”

Until then, any doubts about whether I could teach well had disappeared.

As I tried to follow my instincts, the method that had previously felt vague began to shine more clearly in my mind than anything else.

As Ossian opened the door and came out, everyone waiting outside had tense expressions on their faces.

Most of them thought that Ossian would say no.

It was a natural thing.

The technique that emits pure white light from the sword is Ossian’s vision technique.

There was no way I could teach that to others. Wasn’t it industry practice to keep your skills as secret as possible?

The moment he asked for guidance, Ossian was a man of great character if he didn’t curse and chase him away.

The reason they came even though they knew that was because they were desperate.

“You said you wanted me to teach you.”

Everyone swallowed and nodded at Ossian’s words.

That David also had a serious face that was rare to see.

Ossian looked at the faces of the people gathered.

There are seven of them. They are all former troubleshooters, including Jonathan and David.

The environments they live in, the weapons they use, and the way they fight are all different.

But they had one thing in common: the intense desire in their eyes.

There was a spark in their eyes.

It wasn’t something that could be seen with the naked eye. Maybe Ossian was just mistaken in thinking it was.

But Ossian thought that the flame, though small, was beautiful.

If it burns stronger, it might become starlight.

It’s all in your hands to make that possible.

“My teachings may be harsh. Are you confident that you can do it without giving up?”

“yes!”

Jonathan was the first to answer.

He answered in a solemn and loud voice. The other troubleshooters shouted the same thing.

“Okay. Then, from today onwards, you are all aspiring knights.”

Ossian made up his mind.

In this golden city, we decided to create a new order of knights.

*

Balud stood in front of the boss’s room door.

Balud stared at the ornately decorated wooden door for a moment, then checked his clothes.

His pure white suit was neat and tidy, without a single wrinkle, and his hair, neatly slicked back, was not messy.

dripping.

“This is Director Balud. May I come in?”

“Okay. Come in.”

A thick and heavy permit was issued from within.

As we entered, we saw a room filled with all sorts of splendid ornaments, treasures, and decorations.

And in the center of it all, there appeared a plump old man, sunken into a large chair.

“Boss. I heard you called.”

Balud bowed his head respectfully to the old man.

The plump old man scratched his fat cheek with his fingers. His fingers were full of gold rings set with jewels.

“Yes, Director Balud. Welcome.”

Islow Burbok.

The boss of the North Blinders and the man known as the godfather of this place.

And he was a big shot who came to Tirna alone, from a northern barbarian tribe, and led such an organization.

“Have a seat.”

At Islow’s words, Balud sat calmly in the empty seat.

“Is my daughter acting too annoying?”

“No, it’s okay.”

Isela Burbok, daughter of Islow.

Although she often hung around and chattered, Balud never showed any sign of displeasure.

“Yes. You are the only one among our board of directors who can handle that brat.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“You know I trust our Balud Director, right? We are from the same northern tribe. People from the same hometown should treat each other well. If I step down from this position, I don’t think I can think of anyone else to take my place.”

Balud was pleased by those words, but he didn’t express them directly and nodded.

“Director Balud is doing a good job. He came in later than the previous directors, but he got to his position with outstanding skills. The only thing he lacks is the business.”

“Are you talking about a business?”

The words Islow brought out were a little heartbreaking to Balud.

Most of the families in the North Blinders had their own businesses.

Kursha is undergoing redevelopment and building demolition.

One side was in charge of the smuggling business, another side was in charge of milk distribution, and yet another side was in charge of entertainment and gambling.

On the other hand, Balud’s case was closer to the service side.

Since it was more of a hands-on exercise rather than a business, naturally the profits were not stable.

Even if Balud’s outstanding skills were used to raise it to its maximum, it is true that he is unstable compared to other directors.

“But recently, I heard some bad news about you.”

Balud’s expression hardened as he realized what Islow was going to say.

“If you continue like this, your position will be in danger. It will be difficult to succeed me. Do you know what I mean?”
