The Paladin Owns the Relic

7 – Slave Management (2)

Most divine laws are learned quickly just by teaching them the theory. It would have been impossible with my original head, but I had an assistant called ‘system’.

A device of some sort that seems to have been given to me by Ra. It was as if artificial intelligence was assisting in my head.

In other words, once registered as a skill, I could understand the principle naturally. My body couldn’t keep up with it, but if I had the strength, I could skillfully handle what I knew.

So in terms of teaching, I am the best teacher.

“Stand upright. Execute.”

I grabbed the stick myself. Hmm. I like the feel of the grip. Hector boy. You cut it pretty well.

I stood in front of the children. He glanced down at Hector’s gang.

“What this instructor will teach you is the swordsmanship of the Sun God Church. Paladin aspirants will learn the basics.”

“How could the captain…”

“Learned by stealing.”

For some reason, Irene seemed to want to join the ‘daytime shrine maiden’ of the Sun God. One of the few powers of the Sun God Church.

The Order of Holy Knights is made up of only women.

She constantly polished her body every night. She trains her stamina and she works hard.

A character who is originally talented puts effort on top of that, so it’s a more strange situation that he can’t grow.

I witnessed it by chance and watched Irene every night. She was pretty, of course, but her purpose was elsewhere.

Acquiring the Song of Fire.

She clumsily stretched out her arms after her. The time it took to register the skill was 2 weeks.

As the hard work bears fruit, I can roughly understand what kind of swordsmanship Song of Fire is.

I mean, I even registered it as a skill!

“If you become one of my subordinates. You shouldn’t be beaten anywhere. Why? Hector.”

“…Being embarrassed?”

“What?!”

I hit the ground hard with my wooden sword.

“You know it very well. It’s quite good. And now it’s class time. Use honorifics. Hector.”

“Thank you!”

“My name and class hours are unified as ‘instructor’. You live once, you can’t live embarrassingly. Wherever you go and get beaten up, I’ll hit you harder than that. Always think that I’m watching you from behind your back.”

“Okay!”

“I will teach you the ‘Song of Fire’, a swordsmanship with your own hands. So you…”

I nodded.

“Learn to live or die.”

“…Kyo, what about the instructor?”

“Instructor Bon is also with us.”

At this point, let me also raise my skill rank. Even though my level is 7, if my skill level goes up, I’ll be able to beat guys with a higher level than mine.

I couldn’t put it off forever, so I’m training with them while raising them.

You can’t always escape the situation with tricks. That’s my rule.

For a trick to shine… There must be hard work underneath it!

“Now. First…”

I drooped my wooden sword.

“Let’s get hit and start.”

. . .

“Junior.”

“Yes! Senior!”

“What kind of situation is this?”

Irene frowned. What kind of situation is this?

The garden, which should have been kept clean, was heavily soiled. That’s all. The people who were barely breathing in the garden were orphans I had seen before.

Children entrusting themselves to the church. But children who are not believers.

Irene glanced at them. It’s swollen here and there. Bruise.

Just in time, Zahard was hiding something like a wooden sword behind his back.

“…Did your junior hit you?”

“Isn’t it? I just voluntarily trained myself.”

“Physical training?”

“Isn’t a healthy belief in a healthy body?”

“They are not apprentice priests. They are not members of this Order. They are not to be taught.”

“Oh, it’s different from what I know.”

Zahard smirked.

“Isn’t Ra’s teaching that ‘the church’s teaching shines more brightly when dealing with the ignorant’?”

“Teaching is not violence.”

“I never resorted to violence. I was just guiding.”

“It’s a pun.”

Among the children who were spread out, there was also a large child. Irene didn’t know the other kid’s face, but she knew his.

One of the delinquent children who often confronts Meerkant.

Come to think of it, weren’t the rest of the guys also part of that gang?

“…Hmm.”

Irene stood up neatly. She winked at Zahad.

“Don’t be too harsh.”

“If it’s what you said!”

You don’t know what he’s thinking. But Irene turned around without hesitation. She

She honestly thought she was a bit of a scolder, but she would be happy if you scolded her instead.

Irene said she had many other things to do besides managing them. She had to help Meer Kant with a task he was shouldering alone.

As she was about to take her steps back into her church, she suddenly looked behind her. Come to think of it…

Somehow… I think it was a familiar wound…

“… Junior.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know ‘Song of Fire’?”

“Sure.”

Zahad shrugged his shoulders.

“Are you eating?”

. . .

Roll and roll again. But as a result, the guys grew up quickly.

I also continued to engage in physical training during my free time. It wasn’t that hard considering that even if hardships came later, they would be my way of life.

To prepare for the future by building up the present.

Well, isn’t that what everyone does? I guess it’s similar to studying.

“Whoa.”

I clenched my fists. The growth of the body is still less. However, I could feel his height and muscles growing day by day.

I think it would be possible to grow a little faster, but for that to happen, I had to eat properly.

I glanced back at my status window.

And so are the guys.

“Huh!”

Hector’s muscles grew. He grew bigger, and the outline of his body was cracked.

Pavel and Linden were the same. Both got stronger I couldn’t see his abilities, but I could clearly feel his improvement.

Marie and…

“Rotasha?”

“It’s Natasha!”

From noble mtl dot com

Natasha. Okay. Natasha.

What can I say… A little…

“You’ve become pretty.”

“Eh?!”

From noble mtl dot com

Natasha dropped her wooden sword. Fumbling her own face, she gasped.

“Gee, really?!”

“Yeah. You’ve become pretty.

Come to think of it, the beginning of this swordsmanship was a basic swordsmanship to enter a daytime shrine maiden.

Um. I thought the sword would have a cosmetic effect. When he noticed, Hector, Pavel, and Linden all had fine lines on their faces.

Could it be my face?!

“…Well, it doesn’t matter since he was originally a proud face.”

“What’s wrong, boss?”

“Never mind. It’s always weird.”

Anyway, the time has come. I turned on the stretch all the way. What he wants to do is to rob the gang of bullies in the neighborhood.

I kicked a wooden sword around my waist. To others, we were children, but we were different from the inside.

“Starting today, the real battle begins.”

“What if it’s a real battle…”

“Hector. Damage.”

He swung his wooden sword. Startled, Hector narrowly escaped.

“What, what are you doing?!”

“Why don’t you attach an instructor?”

“…What are you doing!”

“I’m kidding. You don’t have to put it on. Instructor ends today. How about it. Hector. Could you have avoided it?”

“Come to think of it…?”

I wielded it playfully, but it is a song of fire that has reached a D rank. A blow by an ordinary swordsman.

Hector dodged it. Even though he avoided it, he nodded his head as if he were dumbfounded.

“You guys won’t lose to most back alley bullies anymore.”

“Really?”

“Did you see me lying. So let’s move.”

“Where?”

I really hate dry bread now. I don’t even want to put it in my mouth anymore. I cleared my throat.

“I’m going to get some money.”

. . .

Blacksteel’s Falcon yawned lazily. I sighed and licked my appetite.

There is no prey today. Maybe it’s because rumors spread about the back alley where they used to steal money. People didn’t come to the remote place.

I didn’t even see the neighborhood kid that I sometimes see. Falcon was bored. He said that low-level members like himself had nothing to do except when the organization called.

Falcon’s gang lazily photosynthesized when exposed to sunlight. He even whispered about moving, but he decided to stay here only until today.

“Come to think of it, those guys are there.”

“Who?”

“That kid. A big guy.”

“Ah…Hector?”

“Can’t you see well these days?”

Falcon remembered the guy who clung to him. He didn’t like it and hit me a few times, and he extorted money in the name of borrowing it.

He was the kind of guy who would take his pants off and put him on the street, but he’d come back like a mutt if you tricked him into coming into Black Steel.

He hasn’t come to visit us lately. Too bad. If I had known it would be like this, I would have caught it and handed it over to a slave dealer.

“Shouldn’t you have just caught it and sold it?”

“Don’t you know that route has become more complicated these days? If things are taken away from brokers, less than 100,000 can be obtained.”

“It’s a pittance.”

“If you just hand over the child, he’ll take care of the troublesome things for you, so…But wouldn’t it be better if he asked for it?”

“Didn’t you get caught by the other guys?”

“He was a naive guy, though.”

“When I come back this time, how about putting it on a leash and letting it crawl on all fours?”

“Isn’t that bad?”

While laughing and joking, Falcon suddenly noticed a shadow entering the alley.

Smaller shadows than normal adults. He peeked at the Falcon to confirm its lead. The boy with a youthful face and half-hidden face was not avoiding it even though our eyes met.

Is it six?

Falcon stood up on top of a dumpster. He yawned and walked away. With a wink, he directed his comrades to block the retreat.

“Hey, kids.”

“Are these bastards?”

“Right.”

Falcon looked at the kids talking casually. What is it?

And that big guy…

“Hector?”

“…Falcon.”

“Didn’t you put your brother behind you? You bastard. I lost my senses while I didn’t see you.”

I smiled and looked at him. What.

“Did you put anything on your face?”

I think you look oddly handsome.

“Has it really changed?”

“From today I won’t sleep, I’ll only wield my sword!”

The shy girls were also familiar faces. Now that I see it, they are all Hector’s gang.

Falcon laughed heartily. It was a situation where you couldn’t help but laugh.

“Did you come to ask for a group because you’re not enough?”

“……”

“Then the prize money will increase… Let’s see… You can’t just beg for real anymore. You should start pickpocketing.

“……”

Falcon felt a strange feeling. I didn’t like his staring eyes more than his silence.

What is it? It seems different from before.

“…What are you looking for? Do you want to search? Don’t you strain your eyes?”

“Try to strain your eyes that way.”

“What?”

The kid in the lead loosened his shoulders.

“Falcon. 12 Extortions from Hector. 22 Extortions of money. 39 Orders of perverted behavior. Total 73.”

“…Are you crazy?”

“What are you crazy about? Hector. Can I do it for you?”

“…No. I’ll do it.”

Hector stepped forward. Falcon laughed.

“Are you a dog? You? To me? You f*cking think this is going to happen? You lost today.”

“… You bastard.”

Hector raised his fist with his trembling hands.

“Shut up and come in. I will defeat you.”

“hahahaha… You bastard…!”

The Falcon pounced immediately. He thought it was a neat flying kick.

But for some reason, my vision plummeted in an instant. The moment I was caught, the world spun around. Was the ground this close? Falcon blinked.

“… Huh?”

Quad Deuk!

There was a bloody sound. Falcon howled in pain at the belated pain. His ground-grinded nose dripped blood.

“f*ck…f*ck…You f*cking bastard…!

The falcon raised his face with a shudder. Hector stood still with his hand outstretched.

He looked down at his fists in amazement, as if he couldn’t believe what he had done.

And so hot.

Hector laughed.

“You bastards! Come on!”
