The Illegitimate Who Devours Weapons

Weapon-Eating Illegitimate Son

Episode 59

After talking with my uncle, I headed to the training ground.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been here.’

Sungmujang.

I’ve been training here every day since I was very young, so it feels awkward to have only been away for a year.

I started to stretch lightly.

I came back after training all year long, but I had no intention of taking it easy.

Even if I wanted to do that in the first place, there were people who wouldn’t leave me alone.

“Baby!”

A woman appeared, kicking away the training ground.

It was my aunt.

“If you’re here, you should find this aunt first! This rude guy! This is how things are these days!”

“Auntie. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. But how can you come to see me during work hours? I can never hear anyone say that I’m the reason you skipped work.”

“Eww! You cheeky brat! I know you went to see your little brother!”

“I went there for work.”

“Huh! No more excuses! I’ll let it slide since it’s nice to meet you!”

My aunt smiled and came right up to me in just one step.

“Wow, our baby has grown so much?”

Since I was taller than my aunt, she lifted her leg and stroked my head.

“How have you been?”

“Of course! Of course! Have you grown more than that? How was it, was it good? Did you practice hard?”

“Yes, I trained hard. All the Auror skills that I had learned beforehand have become second nature.”

“Really?! Hey, sit down for a moment. Let’s see your magical power first.”

My aunt exclaimed in admiration, her mouth drooling.

My aunt put her hand behind my back as I sat down.

My aunt, who had been examining my magic meter for a long time, smiled broadly.

“Your magical power has almost doubled! Did you take some great elixir? Your magical power system has also become incredibly strong. How did you do that?”

“I kept going until my magic power was depleted and then recovering. I naturally became stronger.”

My aunt was terrified.

“This is crazy!”

This kind of training was like breaking bones over and over again, believing that bones would become stronger when they are broken and reattached.

Of course, bones do not become stronger when broken and healed.

Likewise, the idea that the magic field would become stronger after being depleted and then recovering was close to a lie.

“That was possible because it was Cheonwisan. It’s really crazy! Don’t do it again! Of course, it will be similar to a muscle, so it will become stronger, but it will put a huge strain on the magic power source.”

“I know that too. That’s why I did it while controlling myself so that I don’t overdo it.”

“No, just don’t do it!”

My aunt cried out in panic.

I tilted my head.

‘I just trained normally.’

First of all, my aunt was so scared that I had no choice but to say I understood.

My aunt continued to closely examine my magic meter after that.

“Anyway, the growth rate of both the magic power and the magic power is incredible. I’ll probably be able to use Lightning more than ten times by now.”

“Even so, it might be difficult to do it ten times… No, if I adjust it, it might be possible.”

Since Aura skills consume a huge amount of magic power, they put a considerable burden on the magic system.

So before going to Cheonwisan, the limit of how many times I could use it without worrying about internal injuries was about three or four times.

“I’ve gotten pretty good at controlling the cold. I can use both the Cold Wind and the Hell Rat in succession. I’ve also trained for the rest.”

“Good! Let’s open it up! It must have a lot of magic power, let’s make it pop!”

“Auntie. You have to control it appropriately. You don’t want to cause anything that could turn the training ground upside down.”

“don’t worry!”

I was a little worried, but I raised the aura.

Boom! Crunch!

Aura emits light.

My aura is pitch black.

Not cloudy, but a soft color like the night sea.

Kwaaang!

But contrary to the beautiful colors, the aftereffects that emerged were enormous.

The air erupted with a scream, and if her aunt hadn’t dispersed the aftershocks of the aura, it would have been enough to turn the training grounds upside down.

“That’s great! You really did it in just one year!”

As she said that, my aunt jumped up and down, then held her chin as if she was thinking for a moment and let out a low hum.

“But it seems like there are still some areas that need improvement.”

“Yes, I feel that way too.”

“You know? The technique is perfect, but your proficiency is still lacking. So before you master it all, don’t try to go over 4 stars by acting strangely.”

“Yes, I know.”

With the training at Cheonwisan Mountain, there are no longer any instabilities or fluctuations in power.

However, there are still many shortcomings.

‘In the first place, even a 3-star is usually at the level of 5 stages. It’s too fast. It’s excessive to look ahead to the next stage before completion.’

This is a truth I realized deeply on Cheonwisan Mountain.

The need for a solid foundation.

Now, before I rush ahead and run forward, I want to firmly secure even one brick.

“Hehehe, this aunt also prepared a gift for the baby.”

“yes?”

“I’ve perfected the other Aura skills too! Let’s try them out!”

My aunt shouted with her arms wide open.

I could only awkwardly smile and avoid eye contact with such an aunt.

“Oh, that aunt…….”

“Huh? Why?”

“It might be a little difficult right now, Aunt. Actually…….”

I also told my aunt about the accident.

My aunt shouted before she could finish her story.

“Hey, you punk! You’re going again?”

“I can’t help it, Aunt. But I’m not going right away. I’ll be there a little later.”

Only after a long explanation was I able to calm my aunt down.

“Honey, don’t you have a wanderlust? Why don’t you just stay home like this?”

“It’s something that has to be done anyway, Aunt.”

“Haa…… Okay, well, that’s one thing. What does that have to do with training right now?”

“I told you. The first condition.”

At those words, my aunt’s eyes furrowed.

“What is that! It’s not like we’re going to do it today!”

“Actually, I think I’ll do that today.”

“what?”

Squeak!

Just then someone opened the training ground door and came in.

At the sudden noise, my aunt opened her eyes wide and saw the person approaching.

“It’s been a while.”

I greeted everyone who came with a smile.

It was a man who entered the training ground.

“You’re still on good terms with your aunt, youngest.”

He was none other than my eldest brother, Lee Myeong-jeong.

* * *

“You were pretending to be so busy! Why did you come here to train the youngest? It was all a lie! Huh!”

As soon as my aunt saw my eldest brother, she ran towards him and started beating him up.

“I was really busy, Aunt. I couldn’t help you with your research, but I helped you organize your papers. And today was Father’s order.”

Are you saying that my aunt even reached out to my eldest brother?

As a candidate for the next head of the household, I felt sorry for asking my eldest brother, one of the busiest people in the family, to do something for me.

As if he had read my gaze, my eldest brother waved his hand.

“I’m fine. The materials my aunt brings are very rare and have helped me a lot with my personal training.”

“That’s right! It’s good for him too, right? It’s mostly hot stuff that was just presented at an academic conference… and I’ve also organized it according to my personal interpretation…”

My aunt went crazy again and started spouting off all sorts of proud words.

I ignored him lightly and approached my eldest brother.

“How have you been?”

My eldest brother looked at me with a meaningful expression.

“Yeah, I was doing well. But you just left for Cheonwisan without saying a word to this hyung? This guy is really.”

“I’m sorry. My brother was on a mission at the time…….”

“You could have at least told my nanny.”

The eldest brother said as if he was upset.

“And when I get back there, I’ll make my father call me and tell him that I need something.”

I had nothing to say so I just laughed awkwardly.

“I’m sorry, you’re busy.”

“Okay. And among those who currently have empty hands, I’m the only one who received a license exemption.”

License renewal.

This is a certificate given to a person who has learned all of the techniques of the ancestors, including all of the basic techniques, secret techniques, and secret techniques of the Sungmu family.

‘That doesn’t mean you know all the techniques that have been accumulated over many years, but it does mean that you have mastered all the major visions designated by the Senate.’

In order to obtain a license, you must obtain consent from the head of the household and all elders.

Therefore, the number of people who receive a driver’s license in one generation does not exceed ten.

Accordingly, those who have completed the proof are given the authority to transfer, interpret, compile, and revise the technology.

“Among the senior members of the training center in charge of the six sections, wasn’t there anyone who had a license?”

“I don’t mind, but do you think you can get a full education from them?”

He is a senior in the main family who sincerely teaches the basic skills to his illegitimate son.

A bitter smile came out.

“……Thank you in many ways, big brother.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Lee Myeong-jeong said that and continued to glance at his younger brother.

‘… … You’ve grown to this extent.’

Not everything is visible.

In the past, if you looked closely enough, you could even detect the flow of the youngest’s magic power, but now there are parts that are impossible to guess.

It seems like only yesterday that I first started learning magic, and now I’ve come this far.

-I have to teach the youngest the basics. Do you want to go?

When he headed to the office after receiving a sudden call, Lee Tae-shin made the suggestion to Lee Myeong-jeong first.

I was a little curious.

Of course, it would be a smoother educational environment for the youngest to go on his own rather than having him learn from the elders, but his father is not the type of person to care about such things.

Moreover, Lee Myeong-jeong was assigned a mission.

Lee Myeong-jeong decided to follow her father’s advice for now.

As he stood up from his seat, his father said these last words to him.

-You should be nervous.

I was curious about what those words meant.

That’s why Lee Myeong-jeong called Lee Cheol straight away without delay.

Lee Myeong-jeong narrowed her eyes and examined Lee Cheol.

‘You said you had a bloodless dream at Cheonwisan Mountain.’

A test that even he himself was not allowed to take. The youngest passed it.

Let alone this level of growth.

A chill runs down my spine.

I thought I could understand why my father had insisted on teaching me the basics.

‘You want to be stimulated. Or you want competition.’

My brother’s growth is abnormal.

It’s been less than 10 years since I started learning magic, but I’m already at level 5.

And on top of that, he was already learning the basics at the age of 15.

‘I don’t know now, but 20 years, no, 10 years… … No, I don’t even know that. It will catch up soon.’

It was a funny story to tell to her younger brother, but it didn’t seem like it would take long for Lee Myung-jung to close the gap between herself and Lee Chul.

‘I don’t think it would be that unpleasant even if I were to catch up.’

My father must have sent me there to tell me to be more careful, but seeing my younger brother grow up made me think that he was actually strong.

But in another sense, it was tense.

I thought that I wanted to be the older brother who could always look up to this incredibly talented younger brother.

“Hey! You guys! An adult is talking right now and you guys are talking amongst yourselves! You ignorant bastards!”

“Haha, Auntie. Calm down.”

The eldest brother tried to appease his aunt, but she turned her head away and stuck out her lips.

“Okay! I’m done! I’m going!”

I bowed my head to my aunt.

“Yes, Aunt. Go ahead and check. I won’t go far.”

“Profit! You damn brat! Why don’t you stop me from going?”

“We’re going to see each other in the evening anyway, right?”

“You said you were training!”

“Training is training, and research with my aunt is research.”

“uh?”

“When have I ever missed studying with my aunt because I was training? It’s just that I can’t do it now. How could I dare miss studying with one of the most skilled magicians in the world?”

“Three, the best in the world? Authentic? Are you sure I’m not the one who said that?”

“Of course. Other than my aunt, is there anyone like that in our family?”

The corners of my aunt’s mouth trembled.

He tried hard to keep his angry expression, but he couldn’t hide the corners of his mouth twitching.

“……Uh-uh! It’s time for the drama! I want to go!”

My aunt quickly left the training ground.

When I turned my head away from my aunt, my eldest brother looked at me with a complicated expression.

“Why are you doing that?”

“……I was worried because I didn’t know whether to say that I felt sorry for my aunt or for you.”

My eldest brother coughed and stood in front of me.

“By the way, you’re planning on leaving Musahang?”

My eldest brother mentioned that point, as if he had already heard the whole story from his father.

“Yes, learning the basics was also a condition my father set for me.”

It is not necessary to learn the basics to become a warrior, but since it is an introductory skill to learn the secrets of the family, most people learn it before becoming a warrior.

Lee Myeong-jeong was lost in thought for a moment.

The youngest’s position and the aftermath of Musahng came to mind.

There were some areas of concern, but Lee Myeong-jeong did not bring them up.

“I see. Then I will teach you the basics of the family so that you can fulfill the conditions that your father has set for you.”

The eldest brother took out his sword.
