40 – He gave me a name

“Your name is not displayed on the device. Is there no original name?”

-Yes… I didn’t get a name. Still, there is a title called in the mountains! Everyone called me the cursed child.

The cursed child.

I don’t feel any curse from this dragon.

That must be because of the 『Talent to destroy the world』 That this dragon possesses.

There is something I heard from dragons when I lived in the mountains.

Whelps with too much talent can harm the hierarchy, so they are banished. He said that sometimes he chased them down to kill them.

“Come to think of it, did you say you ran away with your sister?”

-Yes…… Her older sister was also called the Cursed Child. I was close with my sister, so we ran away together in the mountains.

The mountain range that the young dragon refers to is the 『Primordial Mountain Range』, The residence of dragons.

You weren’t expelled from there, were you?

“Have you been pursued by dragons?”

– Ugh…… The fort was in ruins.

He was more helpless than I thought. Dragons hate breaking the rules. Do you treat running away from the group as a felony? Even now, somewhere in the empire, other dragons must be chasing the whelp. To punish the sin of running away.

‘This is good for me.’

If you leave this guy by your side, other dragons will attack on their own.

It’s great that he’s an opponent who comes to you on his own.

“Okay.”

-Uh… Do you still accept me as your disciple after hearing this?

“A swordsman does not speak twice with one mouth.”

– Wow…….

The young dragon opened his mouth blankly and looked up at me.

“I don’t have a proper title to call you, so I’ll give you a name.”

The disciple is the mirror of the master.

This guy will go around using my name later, but if he doesn’t have a proper name, he’ll ruin my name.

I should give it a name that sounds like a reviewer.

The whelp’s eyes twinkled.

– Great!

Agreeing whelp.

I spit it out after much thought.

“Your name is Maya from today. It also has the meaning of fantasy, so it would be suitable for your mental magic.”

The name Maya belongs to a female warrior I knew in my previous life.

The strongest barbarian female warrior I’ve ever seen.

She died at the tip of my sword, but I still respect her fighting spirit.

– Maya… Heehee, I think it’s good because the tone is cute.

It’s not cute, it’s a strong name.

I didn’t point out that I liked him.

“Maya, I will visit you every evening for a while. As much as you have become my disciple, do not think of being lazy.”

I plan to do what I decided to accept as a disciple.

“Maya… Maya… Maya…… Yes!”

Maya the Whelpling repeated her own name before answering with a tight grip on the hilt of her sword.

The young dragon felt her overflowing magic power.

I feel like I have more magic power than when I lived in Count Berman’s castle.

-Master.

Now that you have become Evan’s disciple, you can call him Master.

The noble boy, like a scion, nodded his head nonchalantly.

The young dragon touched the handle of her sword.

It’s been a while since I’ve been favored by someone.

I was offered to do something together.

The whelp remembered a time in the mountains. Many dragons saw the whelp, kept their distance, and gave them uneasy glances.

[That child will disturb the mountain range.]

[Don’t get close, the parent dragon might get angry.]

Adult dragons hated baby dragons. The whelp didn’t know why they hated him, but he did know that they hated him.

The baby dragon cried out in an empty cave. He wanted to be with the other dragons too, but he couldn’t. When approached, they frowned, showed their teeth, and cast spells to push the whelps away.

Clinging to its rumbling stomach, the young dragon was lying in the cave. Only the empty cave didn’t hurt the young dragon’s heart.

[You’re crying alone again.]

After lying down in the cave for a while, ‘sister’ came. A dragon hated by many dragons like a young dragon.

A smile spread across the young dragon’s face. Her older sister Mann was the dragon cub’s only friend and family.

‘Sister!’

The baby dragon jumped up and was hugged by her sister. Her sister put on her troubled expression, but she spread her wings and she did not push away the whelp clinging to her.

The older sister stuck out her tongue and licked the eyes of her baby dragon. He licked her tears with her tongue and stared blankly at the baby dragon, who chuckled at the tickle.

Eventually, the sadness disappeared from her baby dragon’s face, and she held up the wild boar she had caught by her tail.

[Are you hungry? Let’s eat meat.]

‘Yes!’

My sister skillfully dismembered the wild boar with her wind magic.

She gave the fleshy parts of her to the baby dragon, and the sister ate her innards. She and she talked.

[You have to be strong. Because we are alone in the mountains. Brother, I will leave the mountains someday. Let’s live where there are no other dragons.]

‘Yes!’

[I’m worried about you. You are so pure They are easily hurt even by small horses of other people. How could I leave you?]

The sister caressed her baby dragon with a feeling of her concern. Lifting her tail, she brushed the hatchling’s back, letting out a sigh.

[Let’s run away, brother. This place doesn’t suit us. We meet another race that accepts us, and then we have a name… Let’s start a new life.]

‘Yes!’

The whelp smiled as hard as he could. So that she wouldn’t worry about her sister.

The older sister looked at the baby dragon suspiciously, then she raised her long arms and held it. Her whelp lowered her long neck and buried her face in her sister’s back.

[Your name is Maya from today. It also has the meaning of fantasy, so it would be suitable for your mental magic.]

The boy’s voice I just heard overlaps with my memories.

My sister said later that she should have a name.

When we meet another race that accepts us.

The whelp has returned to the present.

The handle of the sword held in both hands is rough. A sword ridden by a boy. He seemed to be feeling his time.

-Master.

The whelp called the boy.

The silver-haired boy turned his head to the whelp.

A gaze looking down indifferently.

Every human that the young dragon has ever seen feared him as a dragon and thought he was cursed.

Other races who knew the dragon’s circumstances avoided the young dragon, thinking that the dragon’s pursuit party would come.

No one accepted the baby dragon.

The dragon cub had a long expedition with her sister.

And as time passed, the boy gave me a name.

From noble mtl dot com

A name given to a boy named Evan.

Maya.

The young dragon repeated the name the boy had given him.

– Maya…… Maya… Maya.

Now the whelp will be called Maya.

“Maya.”

The boy calls himself. The whelp, now a Mayan, looked up at the boy.

I know he wants something from himself.

I also know that he sold his sister’s body.

But he saved himself and gave him more magic power.

He didn’t give up even though he knew he was being pursued.

Rather, he gave me a name to become a disciple.

Then, what can you do for him?

After a while, Maya smiled brightly.

The smile her older sister loved.

“The title doesn’t matter. Whatever you call it, don’t forget that it’s a teacher-teacher relationship.”

Master Ini and Teacher Ini, the titles changed little by little, giving Maya her direction.

– Yep!

The answer is quick.

I picked up a fallen tree branch nearby.

I plan to teach the basics. Everything starts from the basics. I don’t want to be surprised because it’s my first day as a disciple.

“This is the first lesson. I will repeat each move 5 times, remember.”

Down cut, waist cut and leg cut.

Slowly spread the equivalent of basic swordsmanship with a tree branch.

It unfolds very slowly, but there is no extraneous movement. Do everything perfectly I caught the convulsions of a part of my body with magic, and performed 5 basic swordsmanship satisfactorily.

Maya focused on me.

A silent swordsmanship demonstration.

I finally let out a long breath as I let the branches hang down on the floor.

“Whoa… ….”

Slow swordsmanship requires more strength than fast swordsmanship.

However, it would have come more easily in Maya’s eyes.

Since you are the first disciple, you are contemplating the direction of teaching.

“Repeat each movement as many times as you can until tomorrow. Do this until your body stops moving. Don’t overuse healing magic just because you’re having a hard time.”

– Yep!

Maya raised his arms to his chest and clenched his fists.

I continued.

“Practice with that iron sword. It is important to get used to the sword now.”

– Are you giving me this sword?

“Yes.”

-Then, Sabu-nim’s first gift!

“…… Think whatever you want.”

I’m not used to the bubbly personality of a young guy. I shook my head and checked the device.

Current time 4:50 PM.

Originally, it was time to exercise in the gravity room, but it was late.

“I have an important matter to go.

“Is it important?

“Yes.”

The important thing is to exercise in the gravity room.

You can never miss it.

“What did I say?”

-You told me to repeat what you showed me until you collapse from exhaustion!

“…… You’re not wrong. I will come tomorrow evening.”

After confirming my order with Maya, I turned around.

-I’ll wait!

Maya hopped and waved her hand.

Somewhere in the eastern part of the Empire.

The two men and women who ordered bread and meat at the restaurant trembled.

The two are actually dragons that have transformed their bodies into human form.

Those who punish dragons for committing crimes.

The so-called 『Judges』 Felt the magic flowing from a distance without difficulty.

A weak mana that came from the west.

It is iridescent.

It’s a color I haven’t noticed since about a year ago.

The big man pretended to chew bread and said quietly.

-Um… Rainbow-colored magical power, the target.

At the man’s words, the woman smiled lightly. She is full of affection in her eyes.

At first glance, a conversation between loved ones.

But the words she uttered did not match the mood.

-Didn’t the fugitive she used to call her sister hide with magic?

-Whatever the reason, since the location of the target has been revealed, we must head west.

-Should I use teleportation magic?

– No. The Empire’s Mage Tower is interfering. You have to go by foot.

-Ugh… It’s taking too much time.

-Compared to what he did in vain for a year, he is a nobleman. Punishing a prisoner is worth no matter how long it takes.

The words of a determined man.

The woman turned her head with her pouty face, and bit off the big piece of meat.
