Chapter 84 – Chapter 20. The Witch’s Daughter.
Ludvine Martinez.
Witch’s daughter
In fact, strictly speaking, she was the daughter of a woman who was once a witch. Ludbine’s mother, Martinez, is no longer a witch.
Ji-hyeok couldn’t remember everything because he had only heard rumors a long time ago, but he definitely remembered that Martinez had betrayed the witches and lived with her humans. The reason was that the witches ate her daughter Ludbene’s father.
Enraged, Martinez went to the Empire and revealed where her witches were. Thanks to this, the empire was able to eliminate a significant number of witches, and thanks to that, the imperial family pardoned Martinez’s sins and bestowed him with a mansion.
Of course, the label of being a witch did not come off easily. Naturally, her daughter was also terribly bullied for her mother being a witch. So, even from Yael’s mouth, the word that she is a witch’s daughter comes out right away.
That’s probably why Yayel hadn’t mentioned her name to the captain until now. Ji-hyeok saw her personality as an important factor as well as her skills, so she must have been reluctant to recommend her witch’s daughter.
Of course, Jihyeok fully understood. Humans’ distrust and hatred towards witches was natural. It was all done by witches. Just looking at how the witches summoned demons by offering hundreds of sacrifices in Helladium in the past makes it clear.
If Ji-hyeok had never known a woman named Ludbine, he might have been a bit reluctant. The perception of witches is not good either.
However, the hero knew quite a bit about this witch’s daughter. She also knows how she performed on other Hero teams.
“I heard that your skills are excellent. But, I guess that… , I’m from a bit…”
Yayel also said something and looked a bit ambiguous. Jihyeok passed it over as if it was no big deal.
“Do you have any other recommendations?”
“I’ll take a closer look.”
“Okay.”
It’s almost come out now. Still, just in case you don’t know, you’ll have to look closely.
Jihyeok cleared his seat and got up. Yayel got up off the floor and went first to the door and opened it wide. The captain nodded his head once in gratitude.
“When are you coming to the mansion?”
“As soon as the thesis is finished. It will probably take three days.”
“Okay, then see you then.”
“Yes, chief. … Go carefully.”
Yael looked at the warrior’s back with eyes dripping with regret and bit his lip. … It’s too bad, but I have no choice but to promise the next one.
As soon as Jihyeok left the Theory Building, he headed straight for the Alchemy Building. It was tucked away in the northwest corner of the magic academy. That was exactly the status of the alchemy department at the academy. The alchemy department proudly occupied one of the most popular departments in the academy. Of course, there were no cases where even the warriors were looking for a wizard from alchemy.
However, with the appearance of Kang Ji-hyeok, a hero, who is rumored to be raging in the capital, there is no choice but to stir up an uproar in the staff room.
Of course, no one thought that the warrior came because of the recruitment. I assumed you came to the professor for advice on alchemy.
However, when he called his academy student Ludbene, who was not a professor, the staff room went into another uproar. Everyone was busy whispering that it must have something to do with witches.
Ludbine heard a call in the middle of class and got up from her seat. As her schoolboy, she wanted to finish the class and go, but she did not dare to ignore the call from her department head.
With her slick red hair and her pale freckles studded, she wasn’t very good looking. She gave the impression that she was cute enough though.
In the past, when she was in first grade, she sometimes received love letters from male academy students. Of course, after it became known that she was a witch’s daughter, she stopped coming sometimes.
… What’s going on?
In fact, this was the first time she had ever been called during class. So I was a little anxious.
Soon she stood tall in front of the department head’s office. She took one look at her outfit and then she took a deep breath and carefully knocked on her door.
“This is Ludbine. I came because you called.”
– Come in.
Ludwig opened the door and entered. She saw the head of the department smiling benevolently. He was the only person she was grateful for who treated her without discrimination.
“Hello, Head of Department. He said he called me…”
“Yeah, you’re right here.”
She glanced at the person sitting across from the head of the department. She was a young and handsome man. Of course she didn’t know who it was, and she couldn’t guess.
“Come on, say hello. Let’s be Mr. Hero.”
ㅡㅡ!!
Ruud Binet was startled and lowered her waist in quick succession.
“This is Ludbine Martinez.”
“Ah, you are Ludwig. Nice to meet. My hero is Kang Ji-hyeok.”
“It is an honor to meet you, Your Excellency.”
Jihyeok stood up from his seat. He wanted to talk to her in her private place, away from her.
“Dean, is there somewhere we can talk quietly?”
“Let me guide you.”
The head of the department offered himself as a guide. The three left the department head’s office and went into a dark room at the end of the hallway. There were no windows there.
“It will be fine here. Thank you.”
“No. Then feel free to talk…”
The head of the department politely lowered his head and left the room. Soon, only two people remained in the room, the hero and Ludwig.
Ludbigne’s heart skipped a beat. Why did the hero ask to see him? Of course, I had a bad idea. Since before, warriors often hunted her witches. I was worried that maybe it had something to do with her mother’s work.
“Okay, sit down.”
“Thank you.”
She carefully sat in the seat he recommended. Strangely, it was scary to see the warrior’s face. She didn’t do anything wrong, but she was scared and afraid for no reason.
“There is nothing to worry about. It’s not something you’re worried about.”
“… Ah yes.”
The warrior grinned.
“How is school life?”
“Life? … Oh, good. I am enjoying my life.”
“Something like bullying? Is there anything like that?”
Ludbine wondered if the hero had come as an imperial inspector or something, and her heart skipped a beat. Then I had to be careful with my words. If you do it wrong, you may have a storm that you can’t handle.
“Oh, there is no such thing as bullying. The kids are all kind and nice. I’m fine.”
“… Okay?”
His eyes looked a bit questionable, but he didn’t ask any more. There was silence for a moment. She burned her mouth tight.
“Do you understand why I came?”
Ludbine glanced at the hero and shook her head from side to side. She honestly had no idea.
The warrior laughed heartily.
“I want to recruit you.”
“… Yes?”
The red-haired maiden doubted her own ears. For a moment she knew she had heard wrong.
“I want to recruit you. To my team.”
… Ah…
Ludwig was very surprised. Her heart was pounding and her eyes were dizzy. In an instant, the heat rises violently.
A proposal to recruit a hero!
It was a family honor. To the aristocrats, but to the common people, being a companion of a hero meant great success. Ludbine was no exception to that.
However, she could not understand such a sudden recruitment offer.
… Why me? There must be many wizards who are much more talented than me… ?
Of course she never misses first place in the alchemy department, and her magic skills are quite decent, but she thought that wasn’t great enough to get a recruiting offer from the hero. If I had been offered that in the first place, there would have already been several colleagues from the alchemy department. … There was a reason for everything that wasn’t there.
“Why? No?”
“No, that, I don’t hate it… Honestly, I don’t know why… Why did you offer me this…”
“I had my eye on you.”
“… Yes?”
“You have to like it. His talent is excellent. The head of the department assured me that I would do well.”
Ah.
Ludbigne clenched her fists in her lap. … She was honestly impressed. Because it was recognized for the first time in her life.
Looking at Ludbine, Jihyeok thought of her previous episodes. … I remembered the conversation she had with her when she was on her other team of warriors. She was such an innocent maiden now, but back then she was brazen and strong enough to be defeated even by a ferocious mercenary. She, of course, was also nasty.
At that time, the impression was so deep that I remembered all the conversation.
– What if.
– Yes.
– If I go back to the old days and want to recruit you, what should I do?
– … Back in the old days? When?
– Well, just before you enter the guild. Any time.
Loud Binet, who had been drinking a lot of beer and hiccupped, laughed out loud, and twirled her fingers.
– Just… , A word of praise would be enough.
– … Compliment?
– Yes… Well done. Kind. Good night. Anyway, if I just said nice things, I would have passed over the hollard. … Even now, I was very naive back then.
So my co-workers giggled and yelled at me not to talk nonsense. Hey, you bastards, it’s real! Ludbine gave a lot of shit to them.
– Now?
– Mr. A, I will never go over now, Mr… Oops sorry hehe If I had known you would suffer like this, I would have just stuck in the countryside and lived sucking an orc’s dick.
Turn it off. She had her burp.
– Oh, by the way, I heard that our warrior’s cock is that big. … Show me some, huh? I’m really good at sucking. Look at this. To Errere. I’ll treat you well. Huh? Handsome brother
… She used to be like this, now she’s such a modest and modest girl.
To be honest, the gap was bigger than I had imagined. … Well, it’s normal for mercenaries and guilds to lose their character if they’re caught the wrong way. However, because of his skills, did he not make it through the ranks of the warrior team?
She was originally a witch’s daughter. There, her magic talent was almost guaranteed. And academy students basically learn basic magic and combat magic, so if you accumulate some experience like Yayel, you’ll get good at it right away.
And I wondered if Ludbine would be able to do her part to some extent if she intensively trained Ludbine until Yayel left. … Of course, that was when Ludbine accepted her offer.
Since he said that once he complimented me, he would pass it on, so I decided to do it to my heart’s content.
“He said he was nice and smart. I know the situation. Still, I am proud of you for standing firm and walking the right path.”
… Ah.
“You’re saying I’m recruiting you as a joke? Did you even talk to the department head? … I also made my decision after researching and examining everything carefully. So I hope you don’t have any doubts about it.”
At that time, Ludwig suddenly started to shed tears like chicken droppings.
“Sigh, sorry, sorry. Ah, this, that, sucks.”
It reminds me of what I’ve been struggling with for a long time.
She had a life worth crying about. He knew how she lived.
“I am not asking you to decide right now. Think slowly. … Still, I want you to know that this is an opportunity that will not come easily.”
“Yes.”
“I want you to make a decision within three days. If you accept, come to my mansion. Got it?”
“All right.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
The two woke up The hero held out his hand to Ludbine. Her red-haired, freckled maiden respectfully took her hand, which she had outstretched, as if in awe. He took her hand gently and rocked her up and down.
After leaving the room, the warrior walked to the end of the corridor and disappeared. Ludwigne bowed her head until the warrior left.
What happened to me now…
She was dumbfounded now. But she soon began to tear the corners of her mouth.
“This… Chew! Nice damn good fuck it done This baaar! Me, did I really succeed? Whoa, fuck, really, whoa.”
Ruud Binet could not contain her joy. She was happy and pounded the wall with the palm of her hand. This fucking haircut-. Cursing came out of nowhere.
A proposal to recruit a hero!
“I’ve succeeded nowaaaaa!!”
I was going crazy wanting to brag to everyone.
… Especially to my beloved mother.
