"When we first met, I thought you were a clever boy..." Walking to the city wall and looking at the void in front of her, Scathach's eyes were unusually gentle.
"And now everyone outside probably thinks that you are a smart, brave, resourceful and indomitable warrior!" With the corners of her mouth slightly raised and a smile that no one could see, Scathach lifted up the hair that was blown by the wind from her earlobe.
"But I actually understand that you have always been... just a fool."
Those five years may be an experience that Kevin cannot bear to look back on. After all, the number of times he wandered to the other side was perhaps more than that in his entire life combined!
But for Scathach, it was a good memory.
Of course, this does not mean that Scathach is a sadistic person. Well...well, she is the queen after all, so she has some of these attributes.
Many things that happen in the world are actually made up of various coincidences.
It's just like the reason why Scathach went to see Kevin was just as Kevin thought, because he was special.
But Scathach had already told Kevin about the deeper meaning. She told Kevin that before she became the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom, she met an old man in the north who taught her the original runes.
The old man hopes to keep her to help him fight against fate.
Although Scathach refused, this incident naturally left a deep impression in her heart. After all, after so many years, the not-so-ignorant Scathach had already guessed the identity of the old man.
Odin, the king of gods of the Aesir!
And Kevin is the only person that Scathach knows over the years who has no "destiny". This is why she left the Shadow Kingdom and came to Kevin, and was so tolerant and interested in him.
Taking Kevin as a disciple was a natural progression.
But in fact, Scathach didn't care or take it seriously at first.
As the king of martial arts who has taught many heroes, Scathach has seen too many people who came to learn martial arts, pledged to learn, but ultimately failed to persevere.
Not to mention, Kevin at that time was still a kid with the support of the Sun God Luger behind him.
He is a child with no talent who has to learn spearmanship, and his starting point is just to repay Cu Chulainn for saving his life!
That's right. Even though Scathach said she was looking forward to it and was curious about what the future would be like for Kevin who had no future, she really never thought that Kevin would persevere.
And try your best to learn what you teach!
Even if you are hovering between life and death, complaining every day, saying that you quit and want to withdraw, you have never really left!
Because if you think about it a little, you will find that it is impossible!
"If I don't work hard, then Cu Chulainn... won't he be too pitiful?" Scathach said softly again, tilted her head to look at Cu Chulainn who was pushed into the pit by her, and shook her head slightly.
By the way, in the official history, Cu Chulainn was not so miserable, and Scathach was not so disrespectful.
Scathach was gradually moved by Kevin's persistence and hard work, and asked about the deeper reasons.
"Do you want to change Cu Chulainn's fate?" Scathach asked Kevin this back then.
But he once again surprised Scathach by shaking his head and replied, "I haven't really thought that much about changing my fate.
He will become a great hero in the future and protect the Kingdom of Ulster, which means there will be wars in the future, right?
Although Cu Chulainn acts like a savage beast all day long, he is still quite loyal and will fight to the death.
But the Kingdom of Ulster was cursed, and few people in the entire kingdom could escape the curse.
If I don't work hard, won't he be very pitiful in the future?"
Kevin smiled and told the slightly stunned Scathach the reason: "After all, if I don't work hard as a brother, he won't even have anyone he can trust with his back in the future!"
As mentioned before, Kevin doesn't know many details due to his limited exposure to knowledge, but that doesn't stop him from relying on the information he collects to guess about the future.
And Kevin's analysis was correct. In the future, Cu Chulainn, as one of the few who escaped the curse, would fight alone on the battlefield for a long time.
Although Kevin had thought about changing his destiny, it was just a thought. After all, he knew very well that Cu Chulainn would not leave the battlefield and would only seek peace.
Therefore, his original idea of learning martial arts and catching up with Cu Chulainn was simply to contribute a little help when the person who saved his life needed it.
No one knew this idea except Scathach and the sun god Lugu, who was told by the bird.
From that day on, Luger appeared frequently to help Kevin treat his injuries, and Scathach's training of him gradually increased.
After five years, even a stone would have been warmed up, not to mention that Scathach had witnessed with her own eyes how Kevin had grown to where he is today.
Not to mention, he's pretty cute.
If not for this, she would not have left the castle and come to the city wall blown by the cold wind, waiting silently, and not daring to peek, for fear that she would... be soft-hearted.
...
...
Then, about half an hour later, Cu Chulainn, who had been knocked unconscious on the ground, woke up.
He got up from the ground, looked around blankly, and turned his head around as if he couldn't react for a moment to what was going on.
Until finally, she looked into Scathach's eyes, as she turned her head over after hearing the noise.
"You're awake." Scathach said slowly in a slightly cold voice, "You've already lost. According to the agreement, the loser of the challenge will be my prisoner.
From today on, you will stay in the Shadow Kingdom until I allow you to leave... Any opinions?"
"...There's only one question!" Cu Chulainn took a deep breath, looked at the red magic spear in her hand, and said with a pinch of his lips: "Are you Kevin's master?!"
Scathach nodded slightly.
"Really?" Seeing this, Cu Chulainn raised his head and said, "If that's the case, then there is obviously only one answer!"
As he said this, Cu Chulainn raised his weapon high. Just when Scathach thought that he was going to challenge him again without knowing how to live or die and frowned slightly, she saw that he suddenly broke his weapon and threw it away!
"Queen of the Shadow Kingdom, I will offer you my loyalty. Please accept me as your disciple!"
Ever since Kevin came back, Cu Chulainn has challenged Kevin to fight many times and was almost always beaten. In addition, he was defeated instantly by Scathach this time. Even if he was dumb, he knew he couldn't win.
Then... let's save the country in a roundabout way!
"...Puff!" After a moment of stunned silence, Scathach couldn't help but look at Cu Chulainn with a serious face, but Kevin's face appeared in her mind.
It's obvious who taught this operation.
Cuchulainn, who was fortunate enough to witness this smile, froze in his place, his mouth slowly opening.
"Reason." Scathach smiled and her expression returned to her slightly cold look again, just like she treated Kevin back then, and asked.
"Well...Do you know the Queen of Shadow Country? Since that guy came back, he has killed nearly a hundred people in this period of time."
Scathach crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Cu Chulainn with some surprise. She didn't expect that he would mention Kevin here.
"Since you are his master, you should know it well after teaching him for five years, right?" Cu Chulainn smiled and said, "That kid doesn't like the smell of blood, fighting, or killing.
But this time he came back and killed nearly a hundred people... in such a short period of time!
In the past, he didn't kill so many people in a year!"
"...What exactly do you want to say?" After a brief silence, Scathach frowned slightly.
"I'm different from that guy. I like fighting and killing!" Cu Chulainn laughed and said to Scathach seriously, "So why don't you let me do the killing and fighting?
Since you don't like it, why are you competing with me for it, right?
But I am weaker than him now, I can't beat him!
So...I'm going to be stronger than him!
So strong that he can only watch me from behind like before, watching me fight and kill people!"
