The Successor to the Underworld Is a Cheat Player

Sein was naturally blending in with the Black Sword and Dante.

Indeed, just as Sein had said.

“Hey, newbie!”

At first, the Black Sword members who were cautious of Sein approached him first, offering a shoulder to lean on.

Of course, it wasn’t just a simple act of kindness.

“They call me Sebu.”

“Ah, nice to meet you, Sebu senior.”

“I was the youngest for… oh, five years?”

“You must have had a tough time, right?”

“Ve.ry. Tough. Time.”

Sebu spoke, pausing between each word.

“Let’s go fetch some water. Our seniors are training, and if they lack hydration, it could be a problem.”

A small errand.

“Me?”

In truth, it was unnecessary.

Considering Dante or Rasiel’s scale and wealth, it was unnecessary.

The number of servants within the organization alone exceeded twice the number of members.

They handled everything from laundry to meals with just a word.

“Yeah, you.”

It felt good.

The feeling of becoming a senior member first.

“Oh, I see. Hey! Our Black Sword seniors are thirsty…”

As Sein spoke to a passing servant.

“What are you doing right now?”

Sebu, angered, struck Sein’s back of the head.

Or tried to.

“Ack!”

Sebu let out a painful scream.

His arm, which had just tried to smack Sein’s back of the head, was now twisted and held behind him.

“Gah. I’m sorry, senior! I’m a bit sensitive about my head without realizing it.”

“What… this crazy…!”

Sebu, holding onto the arm.

But it wasn’t easy to let go easily.

-That bastard’s a monster.

-He seems a bit lacking. It might be best not to mess with him.

The voices of the seniors who had seen Sein seemed to echo in his ears.

“Ugh.”

Sein’s strength, experienced just now, was just like that.

Sebu, a member of the Black Sword’s elite, possessed skills slightly below the master level.

However, even he couldn’t handle it and ended up with a broken arm.

What was even stranger was the pain he felt.

Despite being a Black Sword who rarely even let out a scream through numerous trainings, he couldn’t bear it and screamed.

“It felt like something was seeping in for a moment.”

That couldn’t be possible.

Injecting mana without permission into someone with a similar level of magic to control their senses was almost impossible.

“Senior?”

“What are you doing? Hurry, go fetch some water yourself.”

“Oh…! Understood!”

Even so, Jane quickly dashed out.

Thud.

Of course, she stumbled, but Sebu soon lost interest and returned to the training ground.

Not long after, Jane started returning from the well with several buckets on each side.

“Oh, did the youngest finally escape? Sebu?”

“Of course, Senior.”

“Don’t torment him too much. He seems like a lunatic.”

“Torment him? Not at all!”

Sebu said.

“This is about discipline!”

As the Black Sword was where the elite warriors gathered, it was common for those with considerable pride to come.

Pride wasn’t a bad thing, but when it turned into arrogance, disasters always followed when they were assigned a mission.

So what Sebu was instructing now wasn’t just a trivial task but a ceremony to make them recognize their position.

“Senior! I’m back!”

Jane approached and set down the buckets.

And then.

“Why is this like this?”

Sebu looked puzzled at the buckets.

“Well… I think they broke on the way back after I tripped. Should I fetch again?”

“No… it’s fine.”

He felt it would be the same no matter how many times he asked.

“Aaah!”

Sebu couldn’t bear it and screamed.

It felt like his head was about to split open.

All of this was because of that strange newcomer.

“…That lunatic.”

Although the first day’s ceremony had failed, Sebu was not about to give up.

How did she endure for five years.

But Jane was truly insane.

-Bring me a sword.

-You son of a b****! What good is one sword!

-I didn’t say how many to bring.

Fine.

“You loser.”

Jane was a true loser.

Of course, she didn’t give up on details.

-Do push-ups without using magic.

-How many?

-Until I tell you to stop!

An early morning task that stretched her limbs.

“Stop that.”

Even when she returned after finishing all tasks, Jane was still doing push-ups.

She didn’t feel like she had used magic.

Sweat pouring like rain, muscles trembling.

-You’re here?

Even her voice was trembling.

Since that day, Sebu gave up trying to tame Jane.

Of course, it doesn’t mean Jane was a bad person.

“Hey, Jane. Are you ready now?”

“Yes, senior.”

A firm tone.

And.

“Can I ask for a sparring match?”

“Of course. Senior.”

Confident skill.

“Sebu, you’re not still bothering Jane these days, are you?”

“….”

“Don’t be too harsh. She’s a good kid.”

That was what truly drove Sebu crazy.

“Oh, and Sebu.”

“Yes, senior.”

“Bring this to the captain later.”

“What is this?”

Sebu asked.

“It’s something the captain asked for last time, but it’s a bit… so I’d rather not entrust it to the servants.”

“…? So you’re making the youngest do it.”

Sebu looked at Jane with a puzzled expression.

Jane, who blinked as if she knew nothing, momentarily raised Sebu’s blood pressure.

“Let me have a brief match with this guy. Can you please not interfere?”

In the end, Sebu had no choice but to accept the senior’s errand.

Confused.

The path leading to Valac’s headquarters.

Finally, Sebu stopped in his tracks.

“Ah, damn.”

In Sebu’s eyes looking up at the sky,

“Should we stop here? Black swords and all.”

It seemed like tears were falling.

No.

How did he become a black swordsman, how did he endure all those times?

Knock, knock.

Along with the sound of knocking,

“Come in.”

Valac’s voice was heard.

Sebu looked at Valac hesitantly.

Valac, who was supposed to be the youngest instead of him, but soon became the leader above them.

Nevertheless.

“Leader, I’ve come for an errand. Lorghan senior asked me to bring this.”

Valac did not look displeased.

“…You’ve been through a lot. From now on, I’ll go myself. I wasted your time for nothing. I’m sorry.”

Valac had a charm worthy of respect regardless of his age.

But.

Valac.

His face involuntarily twisted at the thought of Jane.

“Are there any problems in your life these days?”

Valac asked, looking at him.

Sebu felt embarrassed by the fact that he unintentionally put on a facade in front of Valac, the leader.

“There are none. The Black Swords never change.”

“Good, that’s a relief.”

Thinking he should become a man like that too.

But that evening.

“Ah, should I really stop?”

Sebu shed tears secretly.

“Bastard!”

“Sein, how are you feeling?”

The Black Swords also had a deep interest in Sein’s injury.

“It seems like there’s no improvement yet. I wonder what kind of poison he was exposed to.”

Dante’s support for Sain was already well-known.

Although Dante’s fate was uncertain, his alliance with Sain naturally sparked high interest in him.

“You should wake up quickly.”

But that wasn’t the only reason.

Sain was a legend in his own right.

While there were many successors from candidate families, none had garnered simultaneous support like Sain.

Moreover, all the other candidates who had been with him served Sain like their lord.

– Sain Demorus… a legend. You wouldn’t know unless you saw it.

They praised Sain.

– Sain?

Even Balak, who became the leader of the Black Swords.

– He’s in a league of his own, not comparable to someone like me.

Yet, it was hard to believe it all.

He may have conquered the maze, but he hadn’t done it alone.

There were even opinions suggesting that everything had been orchestrated to elevate Sain, a candidate-born man.

Nevertheless, curiosity and admiration were inevitable.

“By the way…”

The members of the Black Swords turned heads.

“Youngest, heading to your first mission with the Black Swords?”

The Black Swords were moving towards somewhere.

Not requiring secrecy, they moved with Dante’s carriage and support.

“Do you have any mission experience?”

“A few times, yes.”

“Is that so?”

Grin.

Jane was the cute junior of the seniors.

– Would you like to try holding the sword like this?

– Try widening your stance a bit like this.

Rumors had it that one’s skills improved by listening to Jane’s advice, and they had seen the results firsthand.

“Sebu, learn a thing or two from that guy.”

Sebu was the only one who hadn’t sparred with Jane yet.

“Why should I?”

“What’s wrong with this guy? Do you really dislike the youngest that much?”

“Who said I dislike him?”

Just jealous, that’s all.

“Don’t be too jealous. He’s working hard too.”

In battle, Jane seemed like a genius.

But in other aspects, Jane was almost a fool.

– Jane, let’s eat.

It was the seniors who took care of Jane instead.

“Youngest. Whatever mission you’ve completed, the Black Sword’s mission is qualitatively different. Recognizing your exceptional combat sense is one thing, but when it comes to missions, it’s a whole different story.”

The senior members of the Black Sword didn’t hold back their advice for Jane.

“Just stick close to us and observe at first.”

“I will keep that in mind, seniors.”

“Good.”

Seeing Jane once again receiving affection, Sebu completely turned his head away.

“We’ve arrived.”

As the carriage stopped, one by one, the members of the Black Sword disembarked onto the island.

This was Jane’s first mission with them.

“The mission details…”

Balak said, looking ahead.

“It’s an Abyssal Beast subjugation.”

Abyssal Beasts.

Among monsters, they were specially enhanced.

“We’re up against a single entity.”

The atmosphere among the Black Sword members grew heavy at Balak’s words.

A single entity.

That meant…

“The target is the Dark Gryphon King. It’s more than ten times larger than a regular Gryphon.”

The fact that one entity could summon the Black Sword indicated its immense power.

“Three cities in the 6th region have been attacked by the creature, with one city even having its barrier destroyed and facing ruin.”

It was a monster among monsters.

“We need to eliminate it before the damage escalates.”
