After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

the other side.

"Crack!"

The dragon fell to the ground, and the great magician became famous in one battle.

At that time, Romos slaughtered the dragon that occupied the northern border and became the greatest magician of the empire.

He received the reward from the emperor at that time and the position of the Lord of the Demon Tower.

After becoming the Lord of the Demon Tower, Romos needs to find a suitable successor and accept others as his disciples.

Because he will grow old one day, the position of the Demon Tower Master will belong to his disciples.

People vied to please Romos and even gave him many gifts.

No matter how much the nobles hoped that their children could become the next Lord of the Demon Tower, Romos just couldn't find the right person.

Just when he was at his wits' end, a boy with black hair and red eyes appeared in his sight.

There was no emotional conversation between the two.

After all, one is for survival and the other is for fame.

Not much ability to converse.

(All are i people)

Simply because he liked the child, Romos knelt on one knee in front of the child and stretched out his hand to him:

"Child, do you want to follow me? Learn magic from me.

"Become my disciple and the next Demon Tower Master."

The black-haired, red-eyed homeless boy had messy hair and his red eyes were full of confusion.

"I do not have money."

The boy emptied his pockets.

Romos was so embarrassed.

But in his hand was a crystal ball that detected magic:

"No money is needed. Listen, if your magic power is excellent and you perform well, I will accept you as my apprentice. At least you won't have to starve anymore."

The master of the magic tower placed the crystal ball on a chair and raised the chair to a height that the boy could reach.

"Come on, try it. Put your hand on it. Then imagine the magic running on your hand..."

Romos couldn't explain why his young self fell in love with a homeless child.

Is it simply because the boy’s red eyes are fascinating, or is it because the boy is pitiful?

But Romos didn't expect...

As soon as the boy put his hand on it, the magic power that overflowed from the crystal ball was enough to smash it into pieces.

pat!

This kid is... so talented.

The boy's strength made the nobles who looked down on him tremble in fear.

Romos put his hand on the boy's shoulder and asked him gently:

"Child, do you want to be my apprentice?"

The boy didn't know what would happen to his future, but he knew that his life would no longer be painful.

"What's your name?" Romos asked gently.

"I don't have a name."

The boy pinched the tattered corner of his clothes, lowered his head and answered in a low voice.

I guess only I can hear that sound.

“Then you can be called Ivan Esther from now on.

"From now on, you will be the first disciple I, Romos, accept."

Romos said this with a narrowed smile.

After that, Ivan became Romos's first disciple and adopted son.

Faced with such a motivated student, Romos would of course teach Ivan his knowledge without reservation.

And Ivan was also studying very hard.

This does sound touching, but as a homeless boy with no family background, who was accepted as an apprentice because he "received mercy from the Lord of the Demon Tower" in the eyes of outsiders, the boy was born with an ominous fate.

Ivan was subjected to cruel training day after day, which was like torture.

There is no way.

Romos knew that Ivan was best at using spears, and when swinging these weapons, it was inevitable that his muscles would ache or even get seriously injured.

No matter how difficult it was, Ivan never gave up.

"Because getting the protection of the Demon Tower Master is not something that anyone can easily obtain!"

Ivan suffered a lot of bullying and rarely had a full meal as a child.

He understood very early that the world does not hate people of high status.

He respected Romos very much, respecting the "teacher and father" who gave him a second life.

He really wanted to do something for Romos to share the responsibility of being a teacher...

When Ivan was 20 years old, the demon Zephir led the entire empire in an invasion.

As the Lord of the Demon Tower and his only disciple, Romos and Ivan naturally participated in the war against Zephir.

The result of the war was of course a success——

Zephir was stabbed in the heart by Romos, and its remaining power was sealed in the Zephir crystal.

Romos was once again honored as a hero by the mainland, and from then on, no one could shake his position as the master of the magic tower...

(The memory ends abruptly)

"History books only record the glorious side. There are no extra words to express regret for the victims of war. Unless you have accomplished something great..."

When Romos said this, he looked down at the tea.

When Xien heard this, his heart sank.

OK, things are going to be bad...

The scene that Romos saw before his eyes was one he could never forget.

That was Ivan’s last scene: he pushed away Romos who was almost attacked by Zephiel’s magic, and fell into darkness.

His last words to Romos were:

"Teacher, take good care of the magic tower and live well!"

......

"You know what? The truth is..."

"In order to prevent Zephir's escaping power from harming me, Ivan rushed into the darkness without my permission."

"The war was over, but he never came back."

Xien was silent, he lowered his head:

So, all in all, it's a sad story.

Although Romos was hailed as a war hero, no one remembered Ivan who sacrificed his life to protect Romos.

"But Father..."

Ada didn't want to care about the sad atmosphere. She slowly raised her hand and slowly expressed her doubts.

"Then why is Ivan called 'Mr. Stern'?

I heard... it has a bad reputation, right?"

The already bad atmosphere seemed to reach a freezing point after Ada's question.

Romos' face turned pale, and Arthur beside him kept saying, "Romos, cheer up, cheer up."

Their reaction left Sheen at a loss as to what to do.

Romos finally recovered, and it was obvious that he thought a lot about Ivan.

"Not long after the war ended, Ivan came back secretly..."

Romos covered his head with his left hand and trembled on his right hand on his knees.

"But when he came back, he was full of darkness."

"I am very familiar with that aura. It belongs to the remaining dark power of Zephir who was trying to attack me at that time."

Xien analyzed calmly:

"Is Ivan controlled by dark forces?"

Mrs Jones added:

"Romos mentioned to me that Ivan's magic aura has not changed at all. It's just that Zephir's black magic aura has increased."

Romos's narration was not yet complete:

"What's even more terrifying is that Ivan at that time could actually break the neck of an innocent person in public. And he had no mercy at all."

"He even disdains to listen to any of my instructions. Once I point out that his way of doing things is unreasonable, he will use black magic to beat me up."

What surprised Romos the most was:

"A month later, Ivan got mad at me and said, 'I really can't stand you, a nagging old man!' He even attacked me with such force that it was clear he wanted to kill me."

Everyone was silent...
