chapter 6
6 – My misfortune was heavier than yours
“Then, let’s go in.”
Raiden said that and left the workshop.
-thud…
The door shuts with a heavy sound.
Left alone in the quiet workshop, Stener stared blankly at the door his son had left.
Unlike the quiet workshop, his head was filled with loud noises.
The reason is, of course, his son who was in front of him until just now. It was because of Raiden.

Just a few words
Questions about what you have been doing for the past 6 months and whether you will continue to attend the academy.
and the response to it.
It was a conversation that did not exceed 20 words.
However, Stener could feel it.
‘has disappeared.’
That the miasma in him had disappeared.
And Raiden’s smiling face.
Seeing that smile, Stener felt his heart swell.
that day.
It was the first smile he had seen since the death of his wife, Philippa Risit.
“……”
What happened?
What happened?
Did you go on a trip to reconcile yourself during the 6 months that were gone?
It was a pretty plausible hypothesis.
If he had traveled far beyond the continent, it would be understandable to some extent that he could not be found in the duke’s house and that his miasma was relieved.
Are you okay now?
Have you made up your mind now?
Now again, proud son.
Returning to Leiden Lisit, which was loved by everyone…
“……”
Steiner stopped thinking.
I was so excited that my thoughts were running my way.
It was true that his venom was gone.
Because the face he had just met was soft and gentle.
However, that didn’t connect him to returning to his old ways.
He was already badly damaged.
It is strange that it suddenly reappears.
There was no guarantee that I wouldn’t be doing crazy things like before,
There was no guarantee that the wounds in his heart had completely healed.
Stener decided to cool down a bit.
yet, don’t know yet
He could be really better, or he could be worse.
In the first place, it made no sense to judge this with only a short conversation.
Let’s watch.
he murmured.
As soon as he was ready, he set off for the academy, so he will head to the academy in the afternoon.
The academy has connections, so you should hear the news through him.
Steiner bit his lip slightly.
It’s still premature, but if…
If Raiden really came back…
He was ready to throw off the mask of his silent father and cheer.
“So… please…”
He murmured, and softly closed his eyes.
.
.
.
A huge carriage with a splendid appearance.
On top of the harmonious black and red design, there was a pattern symbolizing the Lisitt family.
The one riding in it is none other than me.
and…
“Drureung… Drurreung…”
The maid girl sleeping next to me snoring.
He leaned his head against the window and slept soundly.
What… just a few minutes ago…
-young master! just trust me!! I will work hard!!!
“Drureung…”
Is falling asleep peacefully as soon as you get on the carriage, a kind of help?
I do not know.
‘By the way… sleeping like that would hurt my throat…’
I carefully reached out to her.
Then I gently pulled her body and laid her on my lap.
An act called kneeling.
“……?”
There’s no way I could suddenly do something so sweet?
“……”
Raiden… You bastard.
If you’re dead, just die…
Why do you keep interfering?
He sighed as he poured out a barrage of curses at Raiden inside.
The knee pad…
“Well…”
I left it as it was because I didn’t do anything to raise it again when I had already done the knee pillow.
I grabbed my pounding head and opened the status window.
-Titling!
[Status window is activated]
“Only display the skill information. Skip the rest.”
-Titling!
[Skill Information]
1. Official language of the Empire (automatically in use)
2. Iron Spirit (during automatic use)
3. Short-distance teleportation (Blink)
4. blank space
5. blank space
“Numbers 1 and 2 are passive skills… and number 3…”
– Knock…
While checking skill number 3, my body suddenly gnashed its teeth.
“I’m sorry…!”
The grinding was so hard that it hurt around my molars.
However, without any effort to alleviate the pain, something began to boil inside.
it’s anger.
It was a very thick rage.
“Ugh…!”
As I was being swept away by a sudden wave of emotion, a mechanical sound rang.
-Titling!
[The skill ‘Spirit of Iron’ nullifies the status ailment (Overimmersion)!]
Only after the iron spirit was activated, the anger faded.
Status abnormality (excessive immersion)… It’s unfair…
It’s not that I was overinvolved, it was Raiden’s body that was overindulged…
‘But what… Raiden deserves anger…’
Skill #3, ‘Short distance teleportation (Blink)’
This skill, from Raiden’s point of view, was no different from the enemy who ate his mother.
.
.
.
In the world of [The Hero Loved by Everyone], it is extremely rare for a person whose unique magic is space movement magic.
Even if you search a continent, you might be able to find one or two people.
Of course, wizards who reached the peak could use teleportation magic, but it required a very complicated chant and countless scrolls.
However, those who were born with unique magic were different.
As long as they had enough mana, it was possible to teleport without any restrictions or delays.
That’s why the world called them ‘those blessed by the space’.
And Raiden was also one of the ‘those blessed by space’.
From the time he was born, he was born with ‘short distance teleportation’ magic as his unique magic.
The entire continent was turned upside down.
The powerful Lisit family, called the sword of the empire, has now produced ‘space wizards’.
But… the clutter didn’t last long.
The reason was Raiden’s magic.
He knew how to use Blink.
But the problem is…
The distance that could be moved was only 1 m.
Usually, when it comes to short-distance teleportation, it was common to be able to move from as short as 50m to as long as 300m.
However, Raiden’s flight distance was just 1m.
It was an absurdly absurd number.
Even that mana barrel was small and he could only use it about 10 times a day.
‘1m teleportation… 10 times… that’s really trash…’
As soon as it was revealed that the child who received the continent’s expectations was a bright dog apricot, interest in him cooled down.
Except for one.
‘Explorers.’
A group of mad wizards, an organization that abducts and dissects people with unique unique magic in search of the truth of magic.
At the same time, he also took on the role of the main villain in [The Hero Beloved by Everyone].
Anyway, to continue talking, from the point of view of the seekers, Raiden must have looked like such a good prey.
Because of his poor talent and no one coveting him, the imperial family did not particularly protect him.
Even if it is a little inferior, the title of ‘those who have been blessed by space’ was enough to ignite their inquisitive mind.
That’s why they attacked the carriage on the day the Duchess and Raiden went out together.
However, the plan was disrupted due to the Duchess’s madness.
Leiden Lisit and the escort knight escaped from there and were able to hide in a village they luckily found.
In the end, the seekers who ended up killing only the duchess earned the wrath of Duke Lisitt.
When the bloody subjugation of the seekers began, the seekers who sensed danger lowered their tails and hid here and there.
‘Explorers…’
It was a group that made me feel bad even when I saw it in the novel, but looking at it like this, there are no real bastards.
Why are you conducting experiments on the human body if you are seeking the truth?
Why are you still doing kidnapping and dissection?
‘Ehh… Anyway…’
For this reason, skill number 3, ‘blink’ must have been a trigger that reminded Raiden of bad memories.
– Knock…
It seems like that even now.
I wish this would stop.
It hurts so much.
Before using ‘Spirit of Iron’ one more time, I want you to take care of yourself and stay still.
‘by the way…’
I don’t have any skills…
Usually, everyone had at least ‘swordsmanship’ or ‘basic magic’…
Raiden said he had no talent for something…
Hmm… I think I can tell just by looking at the average stat of Chegeunmin being D-.
Boy, you’ve never done training in your life.
Well… what would a child born to good parents like Raiden do?
I’m going to learn how to roll my head a little and get a peacock job…
In contrast, I…
-More, more! move faster!
– Won’t you wake up soon?! Who is lying down!!
– It’s lousy.
– That’s not like my son.
-Kim Na-ru ㅋ bubbles kkkkkkkkkk
-It looks like he entered the national university with his father’s back hahaha
“What the f*ck…”
My head was pounding, and I was out of breath.
-Titling!
[Your status ailment (trauma) is too powerful, so you resist the skill ‘Iron Spirit’!]
“Whoa… Whoa…”
I calmed down my trembling breath and caught the emotions that ran wild one by one.
After a while, the hallucinations that had been swirling in my ears disappeared.
I sighed as I wiped the cold sweat that had formed on my forehead.
“ha……”
Once the emotions overflowed, there was something I felt.
The pain Raiden went through was nothing compared to what I went through.
What, you lost your mother?
My mother died when I was 12, so don’t campaign for things that aren’t the same.
Even being alone was thoroughly due to your choice.
I wasn’t.
A hell under the guise of daily abuse and training.
I was ‘made’ alone in it.
It’s not like you messed up and ruined everything.
you had a chance
I didn’t even have that
And this life is an opportunity given to me, who did not have such an opportunity.
It’s a chance God gave me.
So, don’t keep stirring me up on the subject of memories of the past.
because i feel bad
After spatting out a warning to Raiden’s memories in me, I turned off the status window.
Damn, I feel dirty.
“under……”
My head hurt.
I squeezed my brow and looked out the window.
Quite a while has passed since the wagon started running.
We were now running under a gloomy sky.
It was on a road in the city, not a mountain road, as if we had almost reached our destination.
After about 30 minutes passed like that.
I could see a huge building through the window.
A building that radiates soft light even in the darkness of the night.
The stage of [The Hero Loved by Everyone], and the academy that Raiden attended until six months ago.
Reynolds Academy had finally arrived.
