Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Chapter 315

Chapter 315,

Chapter 96. Afterimages of the past or future (1)

Jin’s pupils widened.

‘Did you just… call my name?’

Until hearing that one letter that signifies Jin’s own name in Valeria’s voice.

A whopping 19 years have passed.

Valeria Heister.

If she hadn’t reached out her hand when she was expelled from Runkandel before returning and became a hopeless waste and roamed the world like trash.

Jin’s previous life would have been filled only with miserable and dark days. She was a teacher, a friend, a reliable companion, an object of compassion, and a savior.

Silence passed.

A few seconds passed, and Jin couldn’t say anything to his heart. My head, which heated up in an instant, went blank, and it seemed that my eyes were going far away.

I wanted to answer right away. I wanted to call her name as naturally as in my previous life.

But I had to hold on to reason.

‘There’s no way my master remembers me. Unlike me, the teacher probably doesn’t have memories of his previous life.’

The situation could easily become ridiculous if he was completely happy and showed affection.

Strictly speaking, this was because it was a solo reunion.

‘You must not show an attitude that is difficult to understand. It is highly likely to stimulate only alertness.’

Even if

Even if Valeria, like Jin, had memories of her past life, it would be foolish to approach her sentimentally.

In Jin’s opinion, Valeria is in some ways a colder person than her father.

If she had memories of her past life and didn’t pretend to know first. It must have been an action that stemmed from careful calculation.

Or because they think that the good times of their previous lives no longer matter.

Whether she has memories of her past life or not. I needed to start the conversation as naturally as possible.

You shouldn’t show any gaps because you’re drunk with clumsy emotions.

Jin came here to ask Valeria for a favor.

She never entered into deep conversations or deals unless she really needed them or approved of them.

One of those two conditions had to be met.

“It’s a pretty flashy appearance. Is it okay to just kill the gang boss like this? Arya Owlheart. Should I call him Arya Hester?”

Both the surnames ‘Owlheart’ and ‘Hister’ were said, but Valeria did not react with surprise. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve suppressed my emotions or because I’ve foreseen it.

“Anyway, from the time you found me, York’s life was gone.”

good.

Valeria lands lightly in the lobby.

“No matter how trashy he is, killing a human who cooperated well with him is a bad thing. Since you used your hand instead, why don’t you say thank you?”

Valeria went on.

Then, as if there was nothing to be embarrassed about, he took off his hood and revealed his face.

Dyed brown hair, red, gun-filled eyes, slightly pursed lips. Although he has affection as he is only 17 years old, it gave the impression that it was difficult to approach him carelessly.

In my previous life, I had never seen Valeria at the age of 17.

Clearly, Valeria now is weaker and less robust than in her previous life when she was twenty-six. It was smaller and more fragile than Jin remembered.

However, there was a sharper momentum than in the previous life when growth was over. Like the molars of a wounded beast.

“You might think so. I didn’t know you could show your face so easily.”

“A warning in advance. If you ever attack me, I will choose safety over curiosity.”

“It is safe. Sounds like you’ve got the confidence to run against me.”

“If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have killed York and stood before you.”

Both of them had expressionless faces, but the numbers of cases were constantly spinning in their heads.

“I wondered who the hell was the human who said he found me in this city four years ago. After I realized that it was you, I thought we should have a conversation.”

Valeria came to Mamit immediately after Jin completed his intermediate class mission and lived there for two years.

It was because this city of outlaws also had a ‘Hister family’s lore’. In the process of finding the lore site, she used record magic several times in Mamit, and as a result.

In addition to the location of the lore site, a record was found that someone found Hester in a tavern 4 years ago.

Eventually, in the lore of Mamit, he found a glimpse of a ‘future record’ that said he would definitely find him around March 1799.

It was for that reason that she was at Mamit.

He was waiting for Jin.

“I wonder how you found out I found you.”

“That is the question I have to ask. How did you know about me?”

“This is the Hufester Alliance. Do you think there is something that Runkandel doesn’t know?”

“If Runkandel was looking for Heister, of course it would have been top secret, and you were only a 15th grade cadet at the time. It means it wasn’t information that you, who weren’t even a jockey, could know.”

“Well, it is top secret. Aren’t you overestimating yourself?”

“It’s not an overestimation, it’s really great. Just by looking at how Jin Runkandel of the world went directly like this. Tell me why you found me.”

Jin smiled.

“I came because I had a request.”

“What request?”

“Restore the recording device.”

“If it’s a recording device, is it left by my ancestors?”

“I will let you know after you make a positive decision for me.”

Then Valeria burst out laughing.

“You know what the name Heister means. But unfortunately, there is no reason for me to help you.”

“If you have a reason, you can make it. For example, cooperation for survival.”

“You can’t kill me.”

“Why do you think so?”

“It would be to the advantage of Zipple and your competitors.”

“I guess you are overestimating yourself.”

Sreung Sak-!

In the blink of an eye, Jean pulled out Sigmund and cut Valeria’s eye. A few strands of dyed brown hair fell to the floor.

Valeria narrowed her eyes as she looked at the fallen hair.

“I never thought he would be such a trivial person… Is it a threat through force to come to ask for a favor and do the best he can? Only!”

Valeria shouted while glaring at Jin with a flushed face.

At that point, Jin couldn’t help but be startled inwardly.

It was a look that felt very unfamiliar to Jin. It would be unimaginable if she was Valeria in her previous life.

‘For Valeria, who doesn’t know if she’s an enemy or an ally, to show her emotions this far in front of me, who is closer to the enemy now. It might be that he’s still not good at suppressing his emotions, as he’s almost ten years younger than he was in his previous life. Still… something is strange. I feel like I’m overly disappointed.’

Jin shrugged.

“I hope you take it as advice, not as a threat. If there were other Runkandels in this place, it wouldn’t have ended up as a hair.”

“You seem to be mistaken, but you can be in front of me right now. It’s just because I decided to meet you. Runcandel and Zipple. After today, you will never find me.”

The words trembled quickly and thinly.

To that extent, Valeria was unable to control her intensified emotions.

‘You act like a person who expected something from me.’

Assuming, of course, that Jean doesn’t know who Valeria is.

There was nothing particularly strange about Valeria’s behavior. He looked like a person who was fed up with a huge family that was just targeting himself for a long life of escape.

But as Jin thought.

Valeria felt an indescribable disappointment in Jin.

In fact, Valeria had been curious about the human called ‘Jin’ ever since she was younger than she is now.

From the time I realized what a memory is.

Or, as a historian, Valeria has been having a dream over and over again ever since she started to understand the meaning of being a record.

I don’t know if it’s just a dream without reason or a kind of long precognitive dream.

The dream continued like an intense afterimage.

The main content of the dream was that he, who had grown up on a dim street in an unknown city, had a conversation with a disabled person.

Are you going to stay down like that?

go away.

It’s pathetic. Jin Your proud brothers will like it.

what are you how do you know my name

Looking at the remaining questions, I still have lingering attachments to the world. I’ll forgive you for pointing a knife at the neck of the person who followed you and reached out to you.

That dream, which continued almost every day, was a big homework for Valeria for a long time.

In the midst of not knowing why a man she has never seen before keeps appearing in her dreams, and what kind of relationship she has with the miserable man in her dreams.

Only the emotions were clear.

The person in the dream was obviously sympathetic to the man.

Sometimes the dream felt more vivid than the reality, and after waking up in a cold sweat, I was horrified to see myself fifteen years younger than in the dream.

It was when the Seongguk incident turned the world upside down that he learned that the identity of the disabled man in his dream was Jin.

It was the moment when Jin Runkandel’s face was revealed to the whole world.

Thanks to this, Valeria realized that the maknae of Runkandel, praised by the world, was the Jin of her dreams.

It looked much better in many ways than the face I faced in my dream, but I recognized it at once. The man she hugged without knowing why was Gene Runkandel.

The reason she said the name as soon as she saw Jin for the first time was because of the dream she had always had for over ten years.

The habit of calling her name in her dreams every day without realizing it came out.

‘It’s a mistake. I gave too much meaning to the person in my dream alone and got excited for no reason in my disappointment. But it’s a recording device… There’s nothing wrong with taking a look. I need to find out how this human found me, Jin Runkandel.’

Valeria turned around.

It’s time to regain your cool and weigh your opponent’s needs against what you can get yourself.

“Aria Owlheart. Are you going to just go?”

“Is there anything more to say? If it’s a recorder restore, go find someone else.”

“I have the magic book of Shuziel Hester.”

tall.

Valeria stopped walking and looked back at Jin.

“what?”

Jin took out Shuziel’s magic book from his chest.

“They say this cryptosystem belongs to a real fucking histor.”

In the next moment, Valeria had no choice but to cover her mouth with her hand and stare at Jin.

Boowook-!

“What are you doing…!”

It was because Jin opened the page halfway down and tore the magic book in half.

“Check it out. Is it the real Hester family magic book?”

Jin hands Valeria a spell book torn in half.

A look of bewilderment was evident on Valeria’s face as she received the magic book.

Jin felt very sorry for that appearance, but there was a reason why he acted this way.

‘You can’t make the master roll his hair. I’m still young, so I can see a weaker side than the master in my memory, but if I treat him lightly, I’ll get caught up in the pace of the master before I know it.’

Valeria’s pupils, which had checked the code system, were shifting slightly to the left.

That was Valeria’s habit. It is revealed when you are confused or anxious.

“…Where did you get it?”

“Akin Kingdom’s underground auction house. It’s gone now If you restore the recording devices I have, I will give you the other half of the magic book as a reward. I also promise to protect you from Runcandel and Zipple.”

“You’re going to protect me from Runcandel and Zipple? I didn’t know that Runkandel 12 Horseman had such power. It would be crazy to take care of myself. And I am not weak enough to deserve your protection.”

“If you’re not weak, take the other half from me right now.”

“That’s impossible, but it’s possible to run away with the half in my hand.”

“Looking at the attitude you’ve shown me so far, it doesn’t sound like a lie. do it if you want Instead, this half will never be found again.”

Hwareuk!

Jin created sparks with magic in his palms and brought them to the half of the magic book.

“If you don’t cooperate, this will mean nothing to me. Choose whether to help me or run away. Instead, I promise you one thing. If you decide to help me, if you decide to be mine…”

Jin paused.

Then, after sorting out my emotions once again, I went on like this.

“I will give you anything I can do for you that you want.”

Those are some of Jin’s words and actions to Valeria today.

It was the only thing that was done sincerely.
