Chapter 6 – Hero Ian
While I was thinking about that, I felt a presence in the distance.
Looking up, I saw Ian and his adoptive father, Jack, coming down the hill from field work.
Ian, a naive young man with fluttering blond hair, had a good-natured smile like the sunlight on a spring day.
Ian…
The hero and hero of this novel [The Hero Goes to the Academy]. The one chosen by the goddess, the owner of the holy sword. And···.
The bastard who fed Seo-joon properly in the last episode…
Seo-joon suddenly recalled the face he was panting after giving his cock into the clutches of the dreamer, and frowned mercilessly. And the holy sword that stabbed Seo-jun in the back and bulged out…
“You fucking bastard… You won’t live well…”
In order to see the end of this novel, he had to bring him safely to the demon. In the process, he had to kill the Four Heavenly Kings, kill the demon king, and kill all the leaders of the forces that interfered with it.
It won’t be easy. However···. I wasn’t going to give up that easily.
Seo-jun took out a wooden sword made from a well-carved tree branch from his back. As soon as I woke up in the morning, I found a sturdy branch and made it.
It didn’t feel bad when I held it in my hand.
Right now, that bastard was in the middle of sword training. Because his dream was to become the most honorable knight on the continent.
The villagers ignored the boy’s dream. The farmer’s son asked what kind of engineer he was and told him to focus on the field work.
The boy calmly accepted the reprimand and ridicule. Because everything was right. Even so, he seldom let go of his sword.
When he gripped the sword and swung it, sweat dripped down his back and blood flowed when his grip was torn, he often muttered that he felt alive.
That was Ian. A sword madman. A guy who is crazy about training. A foolishly industrious, equally gifted fellow. Also, he has a sense of justice as strong as the given fate.
He has no idea that he was destined to become a warrior. He won’t know for a while.
He had about three years to go before he found out.
A crisis will come to the village, and we will overcome it. He is also a mercenary in the city, and he will reach the eyes of a certain nobleman, receive a letter of recommendation and enter the academy.
And meet the saintess there. You will hear a prophecy that you are a warrior and are destined to eventually kill the Demon King.
Until then, Seo-joon had planned to dye him in his own color.
Tossing the wooden sword here and there, Seo-joon walked towards him.
Hwihwi-
The whistling sound that came out of Seo-jun’s mouth was mixed with the wind blowing in the field and scattered here and there.
So, a full moon has passed.
&
After 15 days-.
Ian, his adoptive father, and Jack, who had returned from field work, were on their way home, pulling a shaggy handcart along the hillside as the sunset turned red.
On top of the cart covered with clods of dirt, there were still potatoes and corn picked earlier than the season for dinner.
Ian, with golden hair pulling the cart, was a green young man who had just finished his coming-of-age ceremony.
It was because of his particularly slender physique that he looked a couple of years younger than his peers.
Perhaps because of that, I was often bullied by young men taller than me. Ian, who was so kind, had a tendency to laugh it off with an ahaha even when he was bullied.
It was because he believed that human nature was inherently good, and that the bad feelings that afflicted people would one day fade away.
Shootaaaaa— the wind whipped over the hill, brushing Ian’s waist. The hem of her dress fluttered and fluttered to and fro.
Ian wiped the wet sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
He had a smile on his lips the whole time he dragged his exhausted body back from the hard field work, because there was someone waiting for him.
Ian…! Ian…!
A figure approached urgently from afar. Light brown, medium-length hair was scattered here and there.
Ian, who was watching anxiously to see if he would fall while running, also quickly ran.
“Iaaaaan…!”
“Lillieeeee!”
The two men and women embraced each other as if they were reuniting separated families. It was only a half-day reunion.
The two looked at each other for a while and then separated their bodies.
The feelings they had in each other’s hearts were deep and deep, but they were clumsy and cautious in expressing them.
The girl standing in front of Ian is Lily, the same age as Ian. The girl whose name means pure white lily was as pretty as her name.
Her light brown eyes, in the sun, sometimes gleamed golden, like the cornfields of Herero. Her limbs were stretched out and thin, while her chest and buttocks were very large. She was a mature woman who had no rival among her peers.
Lily was the most beautiful girl among the village youth, and a girl who dominated the love, attention, and lust of the youth of her age.
Ian and Lily were childhood friends who grew up together since their snoring days. Now he was a rumored lover in the neighborhood.
Ian was an orphan, but adopted as the adopted son of a stalwart farmer named Jack, he was destined to follow her father into a staunch farmer.
However, Ian had one grand wish that he had dreamed of since childhood, and it was his young dream to become a knight who enjoyed the times.
So, after finishing the field work, it was his daily life to lead a tired body and wield a wooden sword that I made myself before going to bed.
His adoptive father, Jack, did not know how hard it was.
Jack, who had raised Ian like his own son with all his heart, did not scold him like any other adult, telling him to focus on the field work. Ian always took up the wooden sword after the field work was over, so he had no reason to criticize him.
However, it was the father’s feelings that he wanted to stop.
If you didn’t learn anything, it was a human life that you had to fill it with your body. It was natural for a farmer’s son to farm and for a fisherman’s son to catch fish.
Hani, although he seemed proud of his son with grand dreams, it was true that he was worried.
How easy was it to live on a knife-bap? I don’t know, but the risk of dying is high.
Ugly guy… If you just work in the fields with your father, you won’t have to worry about starving to death… How nice it would be to get married to Lily, give birth to a grandson Oh Sun Do-soon, and live…
“Ian. I had a hard time today…”
“You too, Lily…”
The eyes of the two looking at each other were very affectionate. Jack snorted for nothing.
“Don’t do that there, can I get you a room…?”
Then, the two of them blushed and quickly turned their heads to one side.
Both of them turned on their twin wicks and glared at Jack, as if they had already formed a couple’s relationship. No, but that guy Ian has his eyes wide open at his father…
“Hey···! A monkey there!”
A tall-looking man was waiting for them in Jack’s yard. He was Seo-Jun, the head of the neighborhood gangster.
“Hello, Uncle Jack.”
Seojun bowed his head. Jack had recently come to know that the clumsy-looking guy was genuine compared to what he looked like.
“Ah, Seo-jun hyung…!”
“Yes, you monkey. Did you finish your field work well?”
“Absolutely···!”
The two shook hands and bumped their shoulders. The two liked each other like brothers.
There was someone who disapproved of that, so it was Lily here. As if Seo-jun was trying to steal her man, she was staring at him with her eyes narrowed.
Originally, Jack didn’t like Seo-jun either.
It was because he often hung out with the local gangsters, drank, broke furniture, and started fights, and often behaved badly.
Most of all, when he drank alcohol, he was apt to be harassed by local girls, and among the parents who had daughters, no one liked him.
However, as of 15 days ago, the guy started acting as if he had changed people. He was said to have suffered from a severe fever once, so he wondered if he realized something after he was on the verge of death.
I still hung out with the gangsters, but all the binge drinking and drunken rampages and fights were gone.
Not only that, but there were rumors that he went out and made the people who followed me like subordinates reform themselves.
Skinny Jonathan followed his parents to work in the fields, and Stern, with his bucktoothed teeth like a rabbit, started cooking in the tavern kitchen. The baker’s son, Thompson, who had a good stomach, used to eat bread, but now he also bakes it.
It was only a fortnight.
The parents of the three troublemakers fixed things at once that didn’t seem to change even if they beat them to death, so it seems that Seo-joon looked like a teacher at an academy in the capital city. They always called him Seojun teacher.
The change directly affected Ian, Jack’s adoptive son. One day, Seojun came with a wooden sword and started training with Ian.
It’s not even weird…
Even when they were young, because Seo-joon and his gangster-like friends bullied Ian every day, the two of them were the same as Cheolcheon’s enemies.
These two people are now like real brothers. It was a really odd thing. Hagi Knight men usually become friends after a fight…
“Okay, so the job is done, did you come to swing the stick again?”
When Jack asked, Seo-jun scratched the back of his head and nodded. Ian rushed into the house to help his mother prepare his meal. It was because he had to eat to get time to train.
Just as Jack’s wife, Sophia, was putting her laundry out in her basket outside her. When she also found Seo-joon, she threw a word.
“Seojun, that guy Ian almost couldn’t wake up today. Don’t overdo it.”
“Oh, of course, Mother.”
“Who is your mother…? What the.”
Sophia made a disgusted expression. But she didn’t seem to be looking at him disapprovingly the way she used to. There was a hint of warmth in his voice.
It was probably because he was less likely to have accidents and came to help with housework or practiced with Ian from time to time. Most of all, his reputation among women has improved because he stopped drinking and being a bitch.
These days, it was his daily routine to visit around the evening like this, have dinner together, and practice swordsmanship with Ian.
Jack put the cart in the shed, put the potatoes and corn in a bucket of water, and polished it.
Then I went up to her wife in the kitchen, and she thanked me and put it in the pot and started steaming it. Ian won the prize, and Lily helped Sophia.
Steam rose from the chimney. A savory smell tickled his nostrils.
This guy, Seo-joon, was chopping firewood skillfully. Since he earned and ate the rice, he must have thought that he would pay for the meal.
Jack didn’t hate the days that went by without much trouble. He was good and good. He makes a good living, and the family is harmonious, so how could it be any better? He has nothing more to do than laugh. He wondered if this was how he felt when he was drunk even when he didn’t drink.
After preparing the meal, Sofia approached Jack and whispered softly in his ear.
“Honey, I got bokbunja from Mary’s aunt today.”
“… Kheum, we talk about that among ourselves.”
Her wife chuckled, patted Jack on the back, and carried her bowl to her table.
Jack looked at Sophia’s body in a strange way. For his age, his waist was still thin and his hips were firm. Hagisa, since he had never had a child, it was only natural that his body was not ruined. Jack went into the house, brushing his graying beard.
“Brother! Eat first!”
Ian poked her head out over the kitchen and yelled at Seo-jun.
Quiet at home…!
Ian, who had a grumpy expression at Sofia’s reprimand, quickly gestured to Lily, who was wandering around her house. Let’s sit down, let’s eat together.
So today, in this small cabin, a family of five put their heads together and had a meal.
