Chapter. 21

Exam

“Irina Sernerk reporting your return. ”

In a big room. Irina sets foot on a carpet made of the hide of an unknown beast.

There were a dozen elders sitting next to her. And from afar, I saw someone covering his face with a black cotton cloth.

Irea Sernek, chief of the Dark Elves.

Irina, who lowered her head, briefly reported what had happened.

“· · · · · · · · · or more. ”

Not long after the report, she takes a step back. Then the elders who had been listening to the story asked each other a question.

“What about Earl Archduke? ”

“You seemed to be doing well. ”

“Have you heard anything about the forest? ”

“Yes, not really. ”

In the middle of a cliché.

Ferda, near the entrance, yawns.

That's the twenty question. How long are you going to do this? On the contrary, the dull tone was a strong expression.

‘It's worth it. ’

This is the chief's room. And now only Ferda is by the side of the thread. Heron and other spirits have been denied entry as undead.

Knock, knock.

A small tap on the shoulder raises his head. A face hardened with tension. I made a funny face, scared to look at him. Then the reality shifted.

“Foot! What are you doing? ”

“I didn't do anything. ”

Ferda shrugs with a natural-looking face.

On the other hand, the sudden burst of laughter was hard to bear or he started breathing deeply. After a while, the twisted mouth returned to its original state.

Then, my stiff-looking face loosened and my nervous tone faded.

Yeah, that's better.

When Ferda met her goal and smiled.

“Ferda.”

In fact, he whispers a little.

With a slight lift in your head, you point to the outside of the entrance.

“The kids out there are gonna be okay, right? ”

“Don't worry. They're not going to get hit anywhere. ”

“No, I'm worried about getting into trouble. ”

That's a reasonable guess.

None of the original ghosts are normal. He was calm because he was next to me. I didn't know what he would do if I left him alone. When the report is finished, I'll go out and have a look around.

Just when I thought about it.

“That's all for today's meeting. ”

I heard a strange voice from a distance. Chief, Irea's voice.

The elders went out as soon as the banquet order fell. Then the room is quiet enough to hear ants passing by.

Then Irea opens her mouth again.

“In fact.”

“· · · · · · · Yes, Chief. ”

Was it the sudden summons? I shrugged my shoulders.

When Ferda found this, she patted him on the back, but he straightened up a bit.

At the same time, Irea spoke again.

“You don't have to sing it out loud. There's no one here anymore. ”

Different voice than when it was reported.

The sparkling tone raised his head.

Immediately, a smile appeared on Irea's mouth.

“It's been a long time, my grandson. ”

“Yes, Grandma. ”

When I said grandson, I smiled.

Contrary to the atmosphere, Irona's expression was not so pale. I was asked for more than 30 minutes, so I had to. Ferda smiles quietly, and Irea's gaze turns to him.

“So many excuses to leave a guest in front of you. ”

Irea, who got up from her seat, walks her cotton wool.

The golden eyes immediately revealed. The old man with the wrinkled face reveals himself with a favorable smile.

“It's Sernek, the chief of the Sernek clan, Irea Wii Sernek. I've had a hard time coming all the way here. ”

“Ferda Inoside. I'm a real homeroom teacher. ”

Likewise, he briefly introduced himself.

Immediately, a mysterious light appeared on Irea's face.

“Homeroom teacher?”

“Yes, I learned a lot from you. I learned about commandos. ”

I opened my mouth to answer the question, but the truth was quicker than that. In fact, he teased about what he had learned and what he had practiced with a smiling face.

After a while, Irea's eyes widen in shock.

“By the way, you've definitely changed your energy. I can feel the Mana in the dark dimension, though it's weak. ”

Ferda almost burst out of laughter at the thought of being weak. But I have no choice. Now, the Moon's Eye is covering the battles of Minor Dimensions and Commander Shamans.

And now there are no Herons and Ghosts, which are real swords and shields. So it wasn't weird to say that.

“Hehe, I wish Irina was here. ”

After this, Irea's muttering made an awkward face. Irina Sernerk, mother of the deceased. Of course, sadness has diluted a lot now, but sometimes I don't know what to make when I hear his name.

Did he realize that? Irea takes the conversation elsewhere.

“If you don't mind me asking, could you tell me about your grandson? ”

“Of course.”

Ferda nods happily.

A practical story echoes through his lips.

The things we've been together since the day we first met, and the evolution as commanders, etc. While talking about it, someone came in from outside.

“· · · · · · · Chief. ”

He was a warrior guarding the gate.

He approaches Irea with a somewhat stiff face and whispers something small. After a while, Irea's face gradually became as hard as a stone.

“Tell them to come to the meeting tomorrow. I'm hosting a guest right now. ”

“I came because it's urgent. ”

Then I heard a middle note not far away.

The man who appeared immediately was a grey-haired man with a bright figure. What was unusual was that one eye of the man was blindfolded.

‘That guy · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

Ferda's eyes narrow.

Kurd Arganda.

The next chieftain to gain the full support of young warriors. Likewise, he was one of Irona's rivals, a warrior skilled in swordsmanship and command.

But Ferda remembers him for a different reason.

‘The one who told the truth that he wasn't good at command. ’

He was jealous of his real talent and dared to tarnish it.

I didn't expect to see you so soon. Ferda smiles coldly. But for now, I'm going to make excuses and beat the hell out of you.

Curd smiles in front of the chief, wondering if he knows what Ferda is thinking. Atmosphere in a rapidly frozen room. Irea opens her mouth coldly.

“Then tell me. What's so urgent that you came to see me at this late hour? ”

“There are many complaints among young warriors these days. ”

“Complaints?”

“Yes. A small minority is seeing perks. ”

What nonsense is this?

Irea frowns.

“Who would a minority be talking about? ”

“The blood of a chieftain. ”

There are only two people here who are connected to Irea's blood. Among them, there is only one warrior who can complain. Irea replied with a grumpy tone.

“If you're talking about my daughter. ”

“No. Irina Sernerk has passed her fair test. ”

Kurd shakes his head with a smile.

“This is someone else I'm talking about. ”

Only the blood of a chieftain, except Irina.

Irea's face crumples. It was because I realized who Kurd was talking about.

“But the truth is... ”

“The Sernerks, after the chief's blood, of course. Isn't that right?"

Irea bites her lips tightly.

I wanted to deny it, but I realized I couldn't. If I say no here, it means I won't accept reality as a clan.

Even if I agreed to it, the reality has not been recognized as a legitimate clan. Of course, there was nothing special. It was a hybrid of human blood, so I was ridiculed and greatly discriminated against.

So, what, you're seeing perks, you're complaining?

Irea trembles. I tried so hard to spit on that cheeky face.

Kurd was the one who said,

“He is also the son of Irina Sernerk, one of the most powerful shamans in the family. But it's discrimination against other warriors to qualify a warrior just by adulthood. ”

Kurd's words made sense just by looking at it. But Irea could not agree. Knowing the pain and the pain he's suffered. She clenches her teeth and growls low.

“· · · · · · So what do you want to say? ”

“Given the chief's bloodline, I think it's right to take the proper test there. This is my opinion, but it's also the opinion of other warriors. ”

Irea's eyebrows twitched when she said "test."

“Don't tell me to take the Great Warrior's test. ”

“Haha, no way. ”

Kurd smiles. Like what are you talking about?

Soon, there was a cold smile on his mouth.

“That's not possible. ”

“What?"

“Shouldn't we at least take the chief's test? ”

Scared to death of what he said.

Boom!

Irea gets up from her seat and kicks the chair. The gray face turned red. With a trembling fist, she grows old.

“Where are you going with all this nonsense! ”

Irea took a big step.

Approaching Kurd's nostrils, she growls low. If you're talking nonsense, I'm ready to punch you in the face right now.

“He is just about to become an adult. But the chief's test? You think that makes sense?! ”

“There's nothing wrong with that. The chief didn't pass the test at a quite young age either. Age is not a big problem. ”

The golden eyes and the blue eyes tangled in the air.

A fierce snowfight followed, but it was not easily decided. Irea glances into Kurd's eyes and replies resolutely.

“Absolutely not. It's a mature ceremony, as planned. ”

“Then I won't admit it either. ”

“What?"

When the unexpected answer returns, Irea glares at him with a furious glance. Kurd, on the other hand, frowns with his expressionless face.

“Twelve hundred warriors, myself included, are saying they will not accept Silvan Archdut as a clan. ”

“What nonsense are you talking right now? ”

Tuk

Kurd hands you something before she finishes her sentence. It was a book made of hard leaves. Irea's face hardens, as she fears to spread it.

“· · · · · · · This. ”

“More than half of the warriors have already agreed. ”

It was a form of consent. Consent to the fact that he wants to take the chief's test. Among them, you see Kansel's pledge to the Guardian who led the party here.

Is that why you had that reaction earlier? ’

I finally understood Kansel's ridicule. You're doing the same thing. Ferda clenches her fist tightly.

About that time, Kurt opened his mouth again.

“This doesn't sound like nonsense. ”

He takes a step back, filled with cynicism. Then I raised my mouth in ridicule.

“What are you going to do now? Chief."

Irea shakes with a frown on her face.

It didn't matter if that was Kurdish's personal opinion. However, if more than half of the warriors agree, the story will be different.

Ferda, meanwhile, stumbles upon the memories of the old days.

‘The chieftain was about to change. ’

In the original article, the chief's trial was held shortly after the actual maturity ceremony was over. Two men were tested by the chieftains at the time. Irina and Kurd. They didn't even fit in here.

Then why has it changed so much this time?

Ferda's mind is overwhelmed. Then there was a sudden change.

‘Irina Sernerk. ’

I opened my eyes. Not in the original. At the center of all the change was this. I came here as a Lion of Serenek, and I passed the test that I failed in the original article.

‘Faster growth than the original. ’

Currently, Kurd's rival is only one person. Suddenly, I succeeded in the contract of the higher spirit. Moreover, if you have passed the Great Warrior's test, you will definitely feel threatened.

Then I understood that it would come out like this.

‘The question is, why are they after reality? · · · · · · · · ’

In fact, he was not originally a chief candidate, and attacking him didn't hurt him. Of course, you can shake the Mental.

But that's not why he's doing this.

There was definitely a greater purpose.

‘I need to figure out what they're up to. ’

Ferda's eyes flash fiercely. Then suddenly, I suddenly saw his face. I had a worried look on my face. Of course you are. You've been surrounding yourself in your hometown for a long time and you're in trouble.

But you don't have to moan so hard. As I reached out my hand and tapped my shoulder, I quickly raised my head. I looked at my dizzy eyes and said with strength in my voice.

“It's okay.”

Someone did. Life is a series of crossroads. If you live like that, there are many choices. What is the best advice that a teacher can give to a student at a crossroads?

The answer was simple.

“Do whatever you want. ”

It may sound irresponsible.

However, the choice is always for those who stand at the crossroads. What you need to do as a teacher is not to force your choice, but to make it easier for you to choose. That's why Ferda said.

“Just remember this. ”

Ferda smiles, looking at the wavering eyes of reality.

A deep smile followed by a sincere statement.

“No matter what choice you make, I'll always be there for you. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

His eyes turned into a frightened rabbit.

After a while, his face smiled as well. As he softly nodded, he turned away. Then one step forward.

“Make your choice quickly. Warriors are waiting for an answer. ”

You hear Kurd's arrogant voice. Immediately, Irea gently grinds her teeth and spits out a mixed voice.

“Kurd. You're absolutely right. ”

“I understand.”

At that time, reality cut Irea's words off.

Silk thread that approached the two of them one day. The golden eyes burn quietly.

At the same time, he replied briefly.

“I will take the chief's test. ”

Scared to the end of it, both eyes open wide. A moment later, Kurd grins, and Irea screams in shock.
