The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 89
88. The Master Confirms His Own Potential
Suddenly, there were people who helped me.
And not just any person… .
There were two celestials.
“No, it’s something I have to do….”
“no!”
“Of course we should do it!”
I scratched my cheek.
It’s not that I don’t like receiving help, but those two were guests. Where would you ask a guest to do housework?
Moreover, the opponent was not an ordinary guest.
‘Because they are celestials… .’
A race called angels among humans
Celestial
Among the priests, it is said that if they could see their appearance once, they would have no other wishes in their life. Angels were such special beings that it was considered natural for humans to always consider them extremely special in any era. There was even a time when it was believed that if they saw an angel, they would live a life full of good fortune. You can see how much humans worshipped the celestials and considered them special.
The Celestials are a race that is difficult to see in person and even harder to imagine having a conversation with. For humans, that race was the Celestials.
But such a celestial being
It was right there in front of me.
Not one, but two. And they were trying to serve me, a mere human, as if they were servants.
Since they were Sarah’s friends, they were guests to me, and of course I wanted to decline… but on the contrary, those two guests were acting so desperately… . As a result, I had no choice but to be pushed back. Since I couldn’t be strong against the guests, I ended up being pushed back without being able to do my own thing.
But I still felt like this wasn’t it, so I tried to get my job back… .
“dad”
At that moment, Leah, who had been quietly watching me and the Celestials from a step behind, intervened.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I said I do that because I like housework. Right?”
“Yes!”
“We love housework!”
A dragon and two seraphs were enthusiastically saying that it was okay… For a moment, I almost thought, “Is it really okay?” and moved on.
No matter how many weirdos and eccentrics there are in this world, there are no weirdos and eccentrics who like doing other people’s housework.
So I tried to step forward and say that there was no way that could happen… .
“More than anything, isn’t Dad busy?”
“… … .”
When Leah said that, I couldn’t help but be speechless.
Well, I was busy.
But even so, to the guests… .
“It’s okay, it’s okay. If you want to do it so desperately, wouldn’t it be polite to just leave it alone?”
“…I’ve never heard of such courtesy.”
“Well, it’s my father’s first time seeing a celestial being. Of course it’s his first time seeing one, right?”
… Hmm. Is it normal for celestials to act like that? I look at the two celestials because something doesn’t seem right… .
“We like this!”
“Just leave it to me!”
He was desperately nodding his head and trying to convince me that he was sincere… .
In the end, I had no choice but to back down. I knew nothing about the Celestials, and since Leah, who obviously knew the Celestials better than I did due to her knowledge of dragons, and the Celestials themselves, both spoke like that… I had no logic to present. From the start, the winner was already clear even with a majority vote.
“… Then please take care of it.”
I couldn’t afford to take any chances if I wanted to become strong enough to face the Four Heavenly Kings. That’s why I had no choice but to rely on hunting.
♤♤♤
I’ll have to work hard to get over the wall, though… .
That’s not enough.
Simply climbing over the wall won’t be enough to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings, who are so insanely strong. So other means are needed. You can’t be picky about the means and methods. You have to use all the means at your disposal.
You must thoroughly hone your strengths and characteristics to make them even sharper. You must literally sharpen your strengths and characteristics thoroughly, like sharpening a knife, to make them into powerful weapons.
Strengths and characteristics that only you have that the demons don’t have
that….
‘government ordinance’
Thanks to the wind spirits, I was able to read the movements of the demonic spirits through the wind, which moved faster than the attack, depending on the will of the demons to attack. As a result, it was possible to foresee future attacks that would come in a few seconds.
It’s coming soon….
‘Other spirits might be able to help too.’
I may be thinking too simply, but… .
It wasn’t necessarily a wrong idea.
There was something that Rhea, the dragon, said to me in the first place.
‘I told you I could get along well with other spirits.’
There are two ways to become stronger.
The first is to clearly know your own limits. Just as you need to know your cards accurately to win a card game, you need to clearly know your limits to be able to fight properly within them. If you don’t know your limits properly and just blindly swing your power, you will just waste your power and let it evaporate.
So, knowing your limits clearly and gradually expanding the line of those limits is the most classic way to become stronger.
The second is that you should not define your own limitations. It is contradictory to claim that you should clearly know your limitations just a moment ago and then immediately present a completely opposite logic… .
Isn’t human life originally full of contradictions? There is no one who doesn’t know how to live correctly. There is no one who commits a mistake without knowing that it is wrong. People commit mistakes even though they know it is wrong. In the end, it means that people inherently live with contradictions.
Therefore, just as there are contradictions in human life, it is not strange that there are contradictions in the way humans become stronger. After all, nothing in this world is simple, and everything is complex, so it can be said that there are such complex elements in the way humans become stronger.
It’s just something you have to do. There are two ways to become stronger, and you have to keep them both in your head and do them wisely. In short, you shouldn’t have the image of pushing the limit and predict how big that limit line will be. In other words, you have to remove the limiter.
‘Swordsmanship is simple and is held by gradually increasing the limits’
The direction of swordsmanship is determined by the feeling of continuously pushing the limits and continuously expanding one’s own limits.
and
The remaining one spirit is… .
‘…does not set limits.’
I feel like the way to become stronger with a sword is to gradually increase your limits.
but
The way to become stronger as a spirit does not set limits.
“Then first of all… .”
Since I haven’t set any limits
Should I try calling out with all my might?
♧♧♧
Leah spoke with a proud smile, her chest puffed out, her hands placed on her hips,
“Do you understand why I told you not to ignore your father?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Among the remaining celestials, the Celestials, Silphid and Elena, were considered the youngest… They were old enough to be on friendly terms with the elders of most long-lived races. That meant they had seen plenty of strange and surprising things. However, even these two could not understand the sights unfolding before their eyes.
‘The spirits respond to the call?’
‘I don’t think the world tree can do that…’
Countless spirits were responding to the call of one human being… no, the very nature of this world was now shaking. The world itself was literally focusing on that one human being and was eagerly showing that it was listening to his voice.
This is literally a return to the original religion
All watercourses eventually reach the sea.
Humans are also a part of nature, and even a small stream of water called a single human being can reach the vast ocean.
That is, the will of one human being can make nature, the world itself, respond.
Of course, not all humans are capable of performing such a miraculous act in itself.
Only special people, very special people, can do this.
Only special human beings with special souls who have accomplished feats that can change the fate of the world can perform such miraculous acts.
‘A human who performs miracles….’
‘Isn’t performing miracles by one’s own will already a state of god?’
The Celestials Silphid and Elena could only look at the miracle unfolding before their eyes with confused faces.
“Ugh. I guess I should intervene now.”
White Dragon Rhea stepped forward. Pursuing strength without setting limits was also a way to become stronger… . Normally, even if you did that, you would eventually hit a wall of limits… .
‘I don’t know about anything else, but when it comes to spirits, it seems like Dad has no limits… .’
Look at all of nature shaking like that… It seemed like it would really be a mess if left alone, so Leah decided to step forward.
“Okay! Okay! Calm down… .”
-… … !
“No! I mean, if you all show up, there’ll be chaos!”
-… … !
“He’s my dad! If you want to meet my dad, you have to ask for my permission! Are you unhappy?!
-… … !
-… … !
-… … !
“Shut up! Get out of here! Who the hell is trying to mess with someone else’s dad!”
-… … !
-… … !
“Everyone, go back! Don’t touch my dad and go away!”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two celestials, who had been expecting a very meaningful moment with the feeling of a great conversation, had no choice but to watch the children bickering before their eyes with expressions that were difficult to express.
