Chapter 13: Departing the Storal’s Pendant
The Phoenix Heart
And the manuscript of the secret toains Jin had obtained during his stay in the Stor to Murakan’s explanation, Jin could use the pendant to summon Luna once Moreover, the artifact’s effect also provided hiainst 5-star or lower attack spells
Additionally, the pendant could aic buffs cast on its user
Two years have already passed since Jin ate the Phoenix Heart, but it had yet to be fully absorbed by his body
One month after he ate the heart, Jin tested howhis finger on a candle flame
“Lady Mary would be very proud of you if she were here, Young Master”
And sure enough, Jin placed his index finger above a candle flame today as well
The flaer had absolutely no effect on it Jin felt no burning sensation—it was as if he had placed his finger in ater
Gilly was thrilled by this sight and slowly approached the young boy
“Gilly”
“It’s alsothe effects of the Phoenix Heart And as your nanny, I’m overjoyed to know that the beneficiary of the heart is you, Young Master Jin”
A wide sst the nannies working for the Runcandel Clan, she was the e froician doesn’t betray me, I seem to have absorbed around 50 of the heart’
Should he absorb 100 of the heart, Jin would be able to withstand a fearsome firestorm that could burn down an entire castle—let alone a candle flame In other words, Jin would be near-perfectly resistant to all flames that don’t contain mana
To put it another way, Jin wouldn’t be fully resistant against flaic
Needless to say, unless it’s a high-rank fire ician, they wouldn’t be able to break through the heart’s flame resistance effects However, there is another reason why the Phoenix Heart is considered such a crucial iteicians
‘If I fully absorb the heart, I won’t be restricted when I summon a phoenix in a few years’
The fla around the enerally have the force of 5-star spells So whenever a phoenix flaps its wings, it’s no different fro shot out constantly
And unfortunately, these flaician who summoned the phoenix So even if soician, it would be difficult to suainst flames
In other words, one had to eat a Phoenix Heart to have complete control over a phoenix familiar and make full use of it
‘I can’t wait’
To this day, Jin was far ic than in swordsression, the last three years of his 28 years of life were far more enjoyable than the initial 25
“You see Master There’s Lady Luna as well as Lady Mary I wonder how you will repay their affection, hohoho”
Jin nearly snorted froh to himself when he remembered the stories about ‘Mary Runcandel’ fro with her unique personality
‘I’rowth, so that I can challenge her later on in life’
That was how Jin’s third sister’s mind functioned
She was a battle-crazed, ainst other Runcandels or enemies from the Zipfel Clan
That hy she beca powerful opponents despite not being 20 yet She stirred trouble everywhere she went, which earned her the nickname ‘Storion’s Madwohtered everyone who called her that, so she received a cooler sounding nicknae her after I becoave the heart away because she believes that she doesn’t need it So it was a gift that originated from her pride and self-confidence Mary’s one helluva prideful nutcase’
Jin grinned as his thoughts reached a conclusion
“I should repay therow up strong and healthy, and to survive the farow up strong and healthy, and attempt to cleanly slice off her head with his sword
Therefore, Jin had to repay the exactly what they expected of him
Knock-knock
Someone was behind the door to Jin’s roo Master Jin It’s ti”
“Oh, so it’s already ti two skills siy release froht the Runcandel ht at the castle As a result, Jin had no time to rest on a daily basis
When he opened the door and exited his room, Khan politely bowed
“What will today’s lesson be about, Khan?”
“In the , we’ll study co techniques using both punches and kicks Then, we’ll tackle joint lock techniques in the evening together with so”
It was a busy schedule, but Jin nodded in satisfaction He was enity and majesty like a ruler who had received a report from a subordinate
Khan tensed up as he observed Jin’s behaviour
As a guardian knight of the Runcandel Clan and the young master’s martial arts instructor, he should’ve been extrerowth
However, Khan was on edge and nervous whenever he trained the young boy
‘IMaster Jin’
Khan had taught the clan’s combat techniques to a total of six Runcandel children in the Storo; Jin’s sixth sister, Yona; his fifth sister, Anne; his fourth sister, Myu; and finally, Jin himself
Except for the twins, the other three had already left the Storm Castle when Jin was still a baby
‘I’ve never felt like this when I was teaching the others They were all busy keeping up with the training prograrowth But for Young Master Jin… He’s the one evaluatingdifferent about him’
Evaluate
Norht to evaluate his student—similar to the relationshi+p between a boss and a subordinate
But Khan could sense that Jin was inversely evaluating his ‘teaching skills’ And it happened on a daily basis during their training sessions ever since their first lesson
During the exhausting physical training when Jin would sweat buckets, during the exercises where he’d get bruised and his youthful skin would tear and burst, even during the spars when he’d get thrown onto the floor
Jin would always be closely observing Khan’s teaching skills
