— What’s your name?

The boy just stood there dumbfounded.

A super-strong man who is a hero of the restoration war, but is also famous for committing various antics, such as the terrorist attack at the Supreme Court.

Van Company. Furthermore, a big shot of the Federation representing Ragnarok City.

The famous Twelve Emperors. Mad Horse. Revan.

The man leaning on the rooftop railing was clearly Revan.

however.

‘······Did you just call me your disciple? Me?’

Of course, this was something that could never happen even in a dream. The boy knew that it was an opportunity that would never come.

The boy is an incompetent person who didn’t even pass the first screening of the company.

It’s a million times more convincing to say that it was a simple misunderstanding, rather than the famous Twelve Emperors suddenly calling in a brat with no ability and making him their direct disciple.

‘You misunderstood.’

So the boy thought that something was strangely wrong with the situation until he was told that he was the first disciple. He didn’t know, but to be the disciple of someone like that, you had to be a monster with terrifying potential and possibilities.

The boy thought deeply.

Could it be because he was related to the person who told him to call himself brother?

He also clearly had great skills, and he walked around the headquarters of the company as if it were his own home. And he looked a little surprised when he saw the boy who had escaped from the formation.

That’s right. That’s it.

The boy thought that there had been a misunderstanding there.

“Excuse me, over there.”

The boy who had been silent muttered in a slightly trembling voice. Just the fact that he was opening his mouth in front of such a big shot made his stomach churn. However, the boy was born with a personality that could not lie, so he wanted to set the facts straight before the situation got worse.

“······I. I think there’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t escape with my own skills. I had no idea what was going on, and when I came to my senses, I had escaped. Anyway, I’m truly sorry.”

“Okay. I know everything, so what’s your name?”

“Hey, what’s your name? Hudret······.”

The boy blurted out those words because he was extremely nervous.

He came from a background as a handyman who moved from small town to small town doing odd jobs.

The human resources managers who dispatched day laborers here and there did not call the workers by their names. They just said, “Hey! Doing chores!” and “Hey! Cleaning!” to those who applied for cleaning. If they were good at using their strength, they would say, “Hey, you’re a strong guy!”

So that’s why I’m good at doing odd jobs! That’s why the odd jobs came out.

Jeobuk-

“Hudret?”

Soon, Revan, who had come close to the boy’s nose, lowered his posture.

“What kind of crazy fortune teller are you to name people like that? Where is that crazy naming office?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s not Hudret, it’s Yubaek. Maeng Yubaek.”

“Meng Yu-baek. Are you by any chance related to the martial arts world?”

“I’m not a martial artist, but my deceased parents······.”

“Anyway, you’re talking about an orphan like me.”

“······.”

Orphans like me…

The boy, Yubaek, waited silently for Revan’s next words.

A far greater sense of intimidation than that of the federal generals seen from afar.

······Originally, he was someone I would never have even seen the shadow of in my entire life. He was a being that was so distant. Even though he didn’t have any aura at the moment, the oppressive feeling that was pressing down on me from all sides made it hard to breathe.

A little later.

Revan looked at Yubaek’s pale face and immediately opened his mouth.

“Your parents said they are from the martial arts world, so from now on, I will go the martial arts style.”

“······?”

“Yubaek-ah.”

“yes.”

“There are three very important things in a man’s life. The first is a woman, the second is a friend. Then what do you think is the last?”

Yu-Baek was troubled by that vague question.

Vance, who had brought Yubaek to the rooftop at Revan’s order, muttered to himself behind him as if he knew the answer.

— Big dick. Thinking about that.

“······.”

Yu Baek ignored Vance’s words ringing in his ears.

The next moment.

Yu-Baek, whose answer came to mind, answered in a quiet but clear voice.

“Family······.”

“Correct. But unfortunately, you and I are orphans without parents. So what do we do now?”

“······.”

Yu Baek swallowed hard. This time, he answered without hesitation.

“If it’s not my family or my parents······I think it’s my teacher.”

Creepy!

As soon as he answered like that, his body shrank involuntarily. This was because Revan’s abyss-like eyes were quietly looking down at Yubaek.

A human who had entered the realm of transcendence. Even though they had only met for a moment, Yu-Baek’s heart started beating as if it was going to burst.

however.

In the eyes of the twelve there was a small boy.

Suddenly, Yu Baek realized. He was convinced without a second thought.

Whether this situation was a misunderstanding or something······.

That this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

ah-

Yu Baek’s mouth, which had been blank, opened.

Suddenly, a thousand emotions burst out like a torrential downpour, hitting Yu-baek. His eyelids became heavy and his breathing became difficult. It felt like a tidal wave was crashing into his lungs.

“······.”

The boy, Meng Yu-baek, slowly lowered his head. He silently opened his two palms, and there were many scars and blisters. He had lost everything to the hands of the corpse, and his life had never had even a shred of hope. If he spent a day without meaning, another day would come. It was an equally meaningless day. Yu-baek’s life was like that.

Srrrrung—

It was then that a black sword emerged from Twelfth Revan’s waist, seemingly devouring all the light in the world.

Let’s look at that overwhelmingly majestic sword······

Something suddenly snapped in Yu Baek’s head.

Beyond the limits of what he could accept, his brain suddenly went blank. Even so, Yu-Baek’s two arms moved on their own. That’s how he accepted the sword that Revan had given him.

thud!

At that moment, the tip of the sword that Yu Baek had accepted fell toward the floor.

It was so heavy that I did that.

“······.”

The sword that Revan handed over was as heavy as a mountain.

I wonder what it was made of. Even with muscles trained from a life of odd jobs, I had to squeeze out all my strength to be able to lift it.

However, Yu-Baek silently picked up the heavy sword and took a few steps, groaning. Revan was watching Yu-Baek like that.

After a while, Yu Baek stood still and looked up at the sky.

The empty city sky.

Under that sky, I swung the sword I had lifted with great difficulty.

Whoosh!

However, it was a poor move to anyone’s eyes. Knock. The tip of the sword that had been meaninglessly swinging through the air hit the ground. The sharp vibration shook Yu Baek’s bones.

Without stopping, he lifted the sword again. It seemed to be twice as heavy as before. Even though his wrist was bent to the point of breaking, Yu Baek held the sword more tightly.

Gulp.

The blisters on his palms burst, and blood and pus flowed down the handle of the sword. His teeth gritted. He somehow managed to lift it.

Phew!

The black diagonal line that had been swaying and shaking swung around. A very faint wind blew. Boom! The tip of the sword fell to the ground again.

Ugh—

When he raised his sword again, his neck bloodshot. Yu Baek’s left wrist could not bear the load and rolled inward. He had no strength left in his left hand. Yu Baek’s face turned pale.

It was hard to lift with both hands, so there was no way I could lift it with one hand. The sword wouldn’t go up any further. It would only flutter slightly when I applied strong force. Still, Yu-baek desperately applied force.

thud.

Anything······

thud.

Please, anything······

He became anxious. He wanted to seize the opportunity that had come. Hot sweat dripped down from the corners of Yu-baek’s eyes as he tried to raise his sword at any cost. However, it wasn’t enough. He didn’t have enough strength to raise his sword.

Bam!

In the end, Yu Baek bit the blade with his teeth. Even though his mouth was cut by the sharp edge, Yu Baek finally raised the sword high into the sky.

like that.

Phew!

A black sword that cuts the air vertically in two, falling without any strength.

thud.

It was literally the most pathetic move in the world.

Until then, no word had reached Yu-Baek’s ears.

At one moment, Yu-Baek’s body tilted.

Hollow!

“······uh.”

The sound of a sword falling brought me back to my senses.

Yu-Baek’s mouth opened as he lay on the floor, his strength drained.

······What have I done?

······A disciple of the Twelve Masters who can’t even handle a single sword properly?

Just now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had passed. After a few squirms, it was over. Even to my incompetent self, it was pathetic, and I had no excuses.

Yu Baek wanted to scream because he was so disappointed in himself. Ironically, his throat was so choked up that he couldn’t even make a sound.

A dark shadow fell over the milky head.

“Yubaek. What are you doing? Get up.”

“······.”

Honestly, I deserve to be ridiculed more here.

I was so embarrassed. I wanted to die right now.

Stop······.

Yu Baek lowered his head and stared at the pitiful ground. The blisters on his palms were finally stinging. The anger that had risen to the tip of his chin and the inexplicable sense of injustice made him shed tears uncontrollably.

The opportunity is completely gone. I know I can’t turn back time.

“Yubaek-ah.”

“······.”

······still.

Thud!

I didn’t want it to end so pathetically.

“It’s not over. I can do more.”

Yu Baek’s eyes filled with determination as he held the sword with trembling hands. Even if all his teeth were to break, he wanted to swing the sword one more time. There was no way to quench that fierce heart, and Yu Baek dared to shout in front of the Twelve.

“I, I still have more—!!!”

“Once is enough to bow to the teacher.”

“······.”

Maeng Yu-baek, who had been lying face down, raised his head with bloodshot eyes.

“If you want to do more, do it.”

Meng Yu-baek, who was a nameless odd-job man from a small town, became Revan’s first direct disciple that day.

* * *

Ragnarok City Station.

Shuaaaak—

The Federation’s official carrier landed on Ragnarok Station.

Soon, a middle-aged man of considerable height got out of the official carrier.

A pitch-black coat and a dignified and stately gait. The federal soldiers guarding the station quickly stepped aside.

Despite being carrying a rather suspicious briefcase, there was no security check whatsoever.

– Yes, you can just go through.

Because on the chest of the middle-aged man was embroidered a holographic civil servant ID card indicating a high-ranking position in the Federation.

Former federal executive officer.

And currently, the Federal Supreme Court Justice of Odin City.

“This city has already changed this much.”

Yuk Lubergen.

He took a quick look around the bustling Ragnarok City before quickening his pace.

Carrying a document bearing the seal of Schnauzen Javier, the Seventh Seat of Odin City and the Chancellor of the Federation, his destination was, of course, Van Company, where Revan was.

“The city of freedom······.”
