My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 1. Gathering Heroes (9)

“What you need to know is that from now on, I will kill you.”

Yes…… ? Kill? Am i that person?

I was obviously upset when I saw Tina beaten, but she didn’t mean to kill me? I don’t want to be a murderer!

Of course, since he’s a guy who beats up kids, I thought about wanting to beat him up.

Anyway, the words just came out of his pierced mouth, so he had no choice but to move with tears in his eyes.

Approach him step by step.

“Oh, don’t come!”

The man drew his sword and shouted.

His hand holding the sword trembled. The legs were also vibrating slightly.

When I saw the reaction, it seemed that I was intimidated to live my life.

In this way, I will be able to lead the fight to my advantage.

‘Stay still. That way, whether it’s to stun or do something else.’

“Stay still. I’ll cut your throat.”

f*ck. It’s you who has to stay still.

I measured the distance by pointing at him with the tip of my sword.

“Do I look like an idiot who would just lay down his head?!”

The man overcame his life and ran towards me. His upper body was tilted forward to the point of being bizarre.

Hey! Hey! Don’t overdo it! Stay as it is!

While I hesitated, the man quickly approached me. The distance narrowed in an instant.

Ah, really? I’ve never been good at fist fights, let alone sword fights…….

Suddenly, the man was in motion to swing his sword in front of me.

Now that it’s like this, I’ll have to believe in the effect of the sylph’s ring and aim for the counter while avoiding it.

It was the moment when I was about to change my posture with that thought.

His foot got caught on a rock. He lost his balance and began to fall in front of his sword.

Hook!

My sword cut right through the man’s neck.

“Ouch! You this bird… ! Kuck!”

The man’s face contorted with pain. Blood flows backwards from his mouth.

After making several suffocating sounds, the man’s eyes rolled over and he died.

What is this?

Where is the one who stabbed his neck with a sword alone?!

First of all, with the thought of removing the sword, I grabbed his shoulder and pushed him to pull out the sword. Then blood gushed out of his throat.

I looked at the man lying helplessly on the ground. There was no more vitality to be found.

“Kyaaah!!”

The children who were fascinated by the sudden situation start to scream.

As screams echoed through the slums, other people began to gather one after another.

“What? What’s the matter?!”

“Murder!”

‘Hey, I’m not guilty of anything? This person came and stabbed me!’

“He was not worth dealing with. To die without being able to attack me, who didn’t even move a single step.”

Please! Let’s not say anything that could be misunderstood!

Because my head is about to throb!

I looked at the blood on the sword and dusted it on the floor. I couldn’t just put it in the scabbard.

The best thing was to clean it and put it back in, but there was nothing good about leaving out the sword.

Put the sword in and look around.

Everyone had a face full of fear. Except for one person.

“Awesome… ….”

Tina was admiring her eyes. Raising her body, she staggered towards me.

“No, are you aiming?”

“What do you mean?”

“When this bastard approached, you aimed right at his neck, right? As if he expected to be stabbed on his own…….”

No. At all. I didn’t know

If I had known that, I wouldn’t have been so stupid not to be an extra.

“It is an illusion.”

“Are you hiding it, mister?”

“It’s not Mr.”

A man is too much for a 19-year-old.

Even in this world, a 19-year-old is just an adult.

“Then… What should I call you?”

“Call me Prause.”

“Is that your name?”

“Yes.”

“Then…… Prause.”

Did you get the title of honor and then sell it?

…… That’s not what I’m talking about.

“What is it?”

“First of all, thank you. Thank you for saving me.”

“It just bothered me on the way.”

“On the way… …. There’s no way someone like you would come here in the slums.”

Slightly raises the corner of the mouth and smiles.

I looked away awkwardly.

Tina pulls on her clothes as if she wants to look at herself. She gives her her squint. She had a slightly troubled face.

“Now I have no one to blame. What should I do?”

“Why are you asking me that?”

“Is the offer to take me in still valid?”

“…… Of course. I tend to keep my word.”

I hope you will come. I didn’t want to run around with her in an accident because of Tina.

“You’re not trying to do anything to me, are you?”

“I am not interested in a kid. Calm down.”

“Yes.”

But I think I need to fix things before I go.

I couldn’t leave the body like this. Others were watching, so I couldn’t escape.

No matter how medieval this place is, murder isn’t allowed.

It was the moment when I felt a subtle sense of guilt.

Abruptly, a creaking sound came from behind.

Those wearing golden armor were the Imperial Knights.

It seems that he came here after hearing a scream while patrolling the area.

“What is this?”

“Anyone is fine. Please explain.”

No one answered the knights’ words. Don’t talk prematurely

Everyone shrinks from the knight’s eyes… No, why are you looking at me?

“It’s you. What killed this guy!”

‘Ah, that’s true. There are circumstances.’

“…… Yes. But it was garbage that deserved to die.”

I internally tore my hair out.

I felt as if my clothes would explode due to filtering that didn’t go my way.

“Hey, black hair! Did you know that it is a crime to commit murder in a place other than a formal arena?”

“What if I didn’t know?”

I turned around and looked straight at the knights.

The two knights who met my eyes fired at the same time.

“Reap your life! Otherwise, I will execute you immediately!”

The knights give me a warning.

Oops… Twisted, twisted

What on earth does living feel like, so everyone you meet face to face is like this?

* * *

‘This guy is dangerous.’

The knights thought so.

It was only for a moment, but the spirit I felt from him was similar to what the knight commander showed when he showed his strength.

Feeling like facing a huge wall, the possibility that he could become like a corpse lying on the floor was deeply implanted in his mind, and as a result, he became wary of Prause.

“Whoa… …. What are you doing?”

From my original position, I should have asked in plain language, but the knight decided not to provoke Prause as much as possible.

“…… I am an ordinary commoner.”

“Are you saying that an ordinary commoner aims and stabs a man who can win even an apprentice knight at once?”

‘Huh? Beat the apprentice knight?’

Confusion came to Prause’s head.

The dead man’s name is Dink.

He was a man who once tried to beat several apprentice knights to death, and was quite notorious in the back alleys.

He paid all the price for his crimes in prison and was now living in a slum like a bully, but he was known as a man of considerable skill even among knights.

‘He’s definitely a guy who’s undergoing professional training. Even that spirit, which I briefly showed you a while ago, is far from normal. He’s clearly hiding his power.’

“Uh, anyway…… Murder is murder for any reason. Even if the other person is a person who committed murder in the past, since he killed a person, he will not be able to avoid being investigated after being arrested.”

“I guess so. I get it. Let’s follow the investigation.”

Prause thought it was impossible.

Murder is murder, whether through his own intentions or not.

He had no choice but to pay the heavy price for that sin.

Thanks to his facial expression management skill, Prause had no emotional fluctuations, but he felt guilty inside.

It was the moment that was about to be carried out like that.

“Over there!”

Tina interrupted.

“Can I come with you?”

“Who are you?”

“The person Prause saved.”

“He saved me? …… Yes, just follow me.”

The knight said lightly and inserted his sword.

* * *

The interrogation center of the Imperial Knights.

It was a very dark place with torture instruments right next to it.

There, Prause was interrogated in captivity.

“So…… You mean, I was quietly holding out my sword, and it came and stabbed me to death. Is this?”

“Yes. I had no intentions in his death.”

Bang!

Utop, the knight who was interrogating Prause’s confidence, hit the table.

“Does that make sense?! He’s the guy who’s won a lot of apprentice knights. He is! You know, stabbed him in the neck. Speak with confidence!”

“But it is true.”

“Oh, that’s crazy. Really. Then why did you fight?”

“It was to save the child. Again, I never intended to kill him.”

“Even if it was to save the child, I can only assume that you had the intention to kill the opponent as long as you drew your sword.”

“…… It’s a f*cking thing.”

It’s a real f*cking thing.

Prause was unfair. He sincerely had no intention of killing.

He got a little mad and thought about killing him, but his reason was working properly.

He just had a good heart to prevent his kids from beating any more, but he was outraged to drive himself like this.

“Then how will I be treated?”

“One of the two. Do you go to jail and pay for your crimes? Or pay a fine Even if I go to prison, since the other person is an ex-convict, it won’t rot for long.”

“If it is a fine, how much should I pay?”

“Fifty gold coins. For reference, the cost of on-site training is included.”

‘How are you? If it’s fifty gold coins, they’ll say it’s absurd, right?’

Fifty gold coins.

If Prause could have changed his expression, he would have been letting out a blank laugh with his mouth wide open.

But on the other hand, he was also convinced.

No matter what the reason, there was nothing to say because murder was definitely a crime.

‘A person’s life cannot be bought with money… ….’

Did he say that when he comes to Rome, he must follow the Roman law?

Since Prause would have to spend time in prison if he did not comply with their demands, he decided to choose time over money.

Assembling warriors is the most urgent priority right now.

‘It’s an unexpected expense, but let’s focus on the fact that we succeeded in attracting Tina.’

“Okay. I have money in my luggage, so I will pay with it.”

‘What is this… …. Are you really paying?’

“…… Are you really an ordinary commoner? Fifty gold is hard money for a commoner to earn even if he worked for half a lifetime. Unless you’re a noble who can pay for that—”

“It would be better not to try to know useless things.”

U-top hesitated when he faced Prause.

Utop felt chills at the subtle hostility he felt every time he faced Prause’s emotionless face.

“…… I get it. Let it go like that.”

* * *

Smart smart.

Utop knocked on the door of the knight commander’s office.

“Knight, this is Utop. May I come in?”

“Come in.”

At the words of the knight commander, I opened the door and walked in. He saluted like a sword and strode to the front of the work table.

“I heard the report. There is someone who killed Dink.”

The commander of the knights sat down and spoke interestingly. Yutop replied with his back straight.

“Yes.”

“How was it? What is your impression of him?”

“It wasn’t enough that he killed Dink in one blow, his expression that did not change under any circumstances seemed to prove that he was a strong man and at the same time appeal that he could solve any situation.”

The captain listened to Utop with interest.

“Also, there was a figure that overwhelmed the surroundings with a spirit similar to that of the knight commander, and when I thought of the aspiration to pay a large amount of fifty gold coins casually…… If Prause’s status is truly a commoner, I doubt that he is a person from the underworld.”

“It’s the other world… …. Well, there are countless unknown strongmen in the underworld. It may not be wrong.”

The knight commander nodded a couple of times at Utop’s words.

“…… Oh, is that the only impression?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. I mean, that’s what it feels like. Stop coming back.”

“Yup. Suffer!”

After saluting, he goes out with a sharp look. Hearing the sound of the door closing, the knight commander smiled and stood up.

I took a slow step and headed for the window.

Outside the window, Prause, who had been released, was walking and talking with Tina.

The captain of the knights looked at the back of them and muttered in a low voice.

“There are many knights who can kill Dink in one blow. But there are very few people who can show off a spirit similar to mine. I’ll have to watch more.”

Watching Prause get further and further away, the knight commander quietly burned his curiosity.
