A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

Challenge, keep challenging, challenge him day in and day out.

It doesn't matter if you are brutally knocked to the ground before you even know it, because this is already a common thing.

Caught off guard, and then fell heavily, before the pain climbed up from the place where he fell to his mind, he got up in one go, roared out his unshakable determination, and punched again——

"boom!"

"Ugh—ahhh, it hurts! Don't sit on my back!"

It was expected to be knocked down again, but what I didn't expect was that the teacher who never took him seriously from the beginning to the end, let alone observed him directly, went too far.

After falling face down with a bang, the teacher Shi Shiran swayed over. Instead of stepping on him as a cushion, he lifted his cloak and sat on him.

"This is the price a defeated dog has to pay. Otherwise, am I the only one who is annoyed by you every day? Well, shut up and let me finish this pot of wine."

"Bad dog... Damn it, you are the first person who can insult me ​​like this, I—poof!"

"Didn't I tell you to stop talking, the brat is so noisy that the wine is not good to drink."

"..."

Scenes like this seem to happen every day.

Ozymandias went from the anger of being insulted at the beginning to the calmness he has become accustomed to now. For him in the past-the change that he never believed would happen, it only took two years to appear.

In the earliest days, he didn’t even get the treatment of being treated as a cushion by the hateful teacher. He could only be kicked/knocked down/caught by his legs and thrown into the sky, landed with a thud, then struggled to raise his head, staring at the handsome back of the man flying away, gnashing his teeth .

From a certain point of view, the current treatment... can already be called "great progress".

Therefore, the 15-year-old prince is also reluctantly serving as a human cushion today.

The location is not the palace, but an open space discovered by three friends more than a year ago.

The stone pillar was still slumped, but Eddie stopped sitting on it when he got the human cushion.The pillar became a ready-made table, and the wine jar was placed at the very corner, so he could reach it with his hand.

"Nifertari and Moses... well, they've got you some wine again."

The Cushion Prince seemed born to be unable to keep quiet for too long. After a while, he couldn't help but speak, with a hint of resentment in his tone.

"Yeah, without you making trouble, the taste of this fruit wine is getting better and better." Eddie mercilessly hit the apprentice's proud pride, omitting the middle part of the sentence, the latter part is true.

Since her first attempt at brewing wine was a big success (it was not), cute little Nefi was so encouraged that she decided to continue to prepare fruit wine for Mr. Eddie in the future.

Of course, she did not complete this plan alone, and her good friend Moses came to help.

At the beginning, Ozymandias also went, but after a few times of help, he stopped meddling.

His Royal Highness is really not suitable for such a tedious and time-consuming task. The first time is just a surprise. His attention and energy are almost all on challenging the teacher.

However, there are other factors besides his own reasons for not getting involved - although Ozymandias can't say it very clearly, it is that subtle feeling that cannot be explained.

"Those two guys, um, I don't know why, they always feel that the atmosphere between them is better without me... Wait, how do you say that I am out of place?!"

"Isn't this an obvious thing, as I said just now. Besides wine making, there are other things. You'd better not make trouble. It's better to give those two brats some space to get along alone."

"Uh, what do you mean?"

Ozymandias didn't understand at all.

In his current view, Moses and Nefertari are pure friends, but because he needs to do his best to pester (cross out) challenge the teacher, those two often leave him to play together.

It must be very lonely without me, but there is no way to do it——Ozymandias thought so, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

However, the facts have proved that His Royal Highness is habitual to make up his mind and think too much.

Eddie: "They're probably happier when you're not around—well, maybe not as much, but lighthearted for sure."

Ozymandias: "How is that possible?!"

Eddie didn't explain it to the silly apprentice.

It's not that he's too lazy to talk, and there's another point, in this regard, he himself doesn't want to point fingers.

Without the same experience, the memory related to that relationship is still a pain in his heart forever.

However, after wandering for so long and seeing so many things, if he still can't see the youthful feelings between the boy and the girl, he must be ashamed and thrown home.

Slightly, I was touched a little bit.

Although I don't intend to interfere with things that have nothing to do with me, but——

The wine is still pretty good.

At the beginning, the taste that was so sour that people could not drink it faded, and became the main one, and it became sweet.

……

"……teacher."

"teacher."

"teacher!!!"

Eddie: "..."

"Noisy!"

Holding the wine jar with one hand, he used the other hand to hold down the back of the apprentice's raised head, pushing the noisy boy back.

"Say, what's the matter?"

Ozymandias, who was forced to smack his forehead with mud: "..."

endure.

inhibition.

Try to be calm, and ask yourself the question that suddenly occurred to you-but it is really what you want to ask, and say it.

"Teacher, did you tell my father that you only teach me for two years, and you will leave the palace after two years?"

Eddie's tone was flat, and he replied, "That's right."

"Two years are coming."

"Yes, no one will teach you a lesson in a few days, you should be happy."

"Indeed, soon there will be one less disrespectful person who doesn't regard me as a prince and is more daring than anyone else. I should be happy."

Eddie lowered his eyes slightly, and heard the meaning of disobedience from Ozymandias' words.

At this time, the sun was setting on the western mountain, and the light of the sun hanging obliquely on the horizon and covered by a corner of the building in the distance seemed to be a bit dimmed, and it also shone obliquely.

From this angle, he could still only see the back of Ozymandias' head.

The young man's short brown hair was stained with glittering golden edges, and his hands were on the ground, slowly and vigorously supporting his upper body that was being suppressed.

And, he seems to be able to sustain it.

Eddie's expression remained unchanged, and a trace of surprise seemed to slip through his eyes.

Then he got up, at least when the boy tried to stand up and wanted to talk to him in a serious manner, he didn't deliberately press down on him, but showed respect—and instead sat on a stone pillar beside him, drinking The altar was also put down casually.

Take care of the shorties so that the height is even.

"Humph?"

Ask with your eyes.

Ozymandias: "..."

endure.

Continue to endure.

"I don't admit it."

"Well, what did you say?"

"I said - I don't admit it! Me too, I will never accept it!"

The boy who stood up again had grass roots in his hair, and in terms of appearance, he couldn't tell that he was a high-ranking prince at all.

But even so, when he looked at the man standing in front of him all the time, his eyes were piercing, obviously more dazzling than the gradually falling sunlight.

"Two years is too short. I haven't even learned your fur, and I haven't even touched your corners. How can this work?"

"I, Ozymandias, will not only become the greatest pharaoh from ancient times to the present, but also become a man who surpasses you, defeats you, and wins your approval!"

The young man's words can be described as arrogant and arrogant, but it makes people feel that he has the qualifications to be arrogant, and what he said will definitely be realized.

This confidence is undeniable, as if engraved deep in the soul of Ozymandias, who is still only a teenager, let alone be worn away.

"So, teacher."

Ozymandias held out his hand forward, grinning.

"If you plan to leave now, then you will lose an opponent who can look at you at the same level. In retrospect, don't regret it."

"..."

Eddie looked at the hand stretched out in front of his eyes.

I have to say that this Egyptian prince is really a leopard who can't wait to sharpen his claws. Of course, he is still a cub.

Before he grows up much, putting on such a posture of wanting to be equal to him is actually no different from his practice of constantly highlighting his presence in front of him for more than two years.

"--hahahahahahahaha!"

Eddie was really laughed at by this kid.

He laughed quite freely, and couldn't hold it back for a while, so that while laughing, he unceremoniously stretched out the paw of the cub in front of him and slapped it heavily.

When did you not laugh so much?

As far as the facts are concerned, during the past two years, occasionally staying with the three little ghosts, his state of mind has changed slightly, and it seems that he has gradually relaxed unconsciously.

But that's all, it's not that obvious.

Meeting Nifei and the others was a coincidence, and sometimes it was a bit annoying, but the general feeling was enjoyment.

But—except for the obsession that hasn't changed for thousands of years, now he has an indifferent attitude towards everything.

It's good to meet you, and it doesn't matter if you don't meet them. When it's time to go, it's impossible to stay.

However, what is the situation.

The boy who had been deliberately ignored by him, actually persisted for two full years.

Fearless of pain, getting more courageous with setbacks, there is no one more clingy than this kid.After suffering for so long, it still seemed like he hadn't had enough. At this moment, this kid actually asked him to stay?

Although the provocative tone is still used, the content of the words is also surprisingly not worthy of a beating.

Have to admit, Eddie was surprised.

Surprised, and then seeing the expression of a certain arrogant kid at this time, for some reason, he just laughed.

It was as if with a loud laugh, the dark depression in his chest was suddenly swept away.

"You said you want me to approve you, Ozzy, is this the attitude you ask for?"

"Don't think about it, it's so naive."

He suddenly restrained his smile, and his expression became indifferent.

Standing up again, the man standing in front of the young prince is still so tall, like a mountain that cannot be climbed no matter what.

Ozymandias felt great pressure from the man, his teacher.

It was more obvious than at any time before, although the man still restrained a bit, only showing the tip of the iceberg.But when he looked down, Ozymandias saw a trace of extreme arrogance in his almost icy golden eyes.

This is the real "arrogance". Compared with the prince's "arrogance", which is mostly youthful, it suddenly seems nothing.

Because this man himself is a symbol of absolute confidence.

"Don't think about defeating me, change your target, and find a way to get me to recognize you. Why, don't be convinced, you are so weak that you don't even have the qualifications for me to take a second look."

Ozymandias clenched his fists, the hand that was patted by the teacher just now was still aching.

But—he wasn't angry.Even if he was mercilessly pointed out that he was weak, he didn't have the slightest anger.

On the contrary, the light in his eyes became a bit brighter, igniting a raging fighting spirit, as if the sun did not fall in the sky, but rose high-profilely in the boy's pupils.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Ozymandias said.

"Okay, let's try it now," Eddie said.

"As long as you show the potential to catch up with me in the future... Well, then, it's not impossible for me to stay for a while longer."

Ozymandias puffed up his chest when he heard that.

"Exactly, I thought so too."

"From now on—"

……

It is different from every perfunctory "challenge" in the past.

The pressure Ozymandias felt was getting heavier and heavier, and it was almost impossible for him to move.

But only "almost".

No matter how great the pressure is, this young man who will never give up easily will face the difficulties.

Get up when you are thrown to the ground, charge again when you are thrown away, keep going again when you are knocked down...

What's different from before is that the man at that time threw him away and trampled him down, and he wouldn't talk to him anymore, even if he threw himself in front of him unwillingly, he wouldn't give him any extra glances.

But at this time, the man didn't avoid him, and he didn't ignore him as if he didn't see him anymore, but stood there and turned his head——

"No."

Eddie grabbed one of the boy's arms, leaving no shadow behind. The boy who had just charged flew to a place more than ten meters away, and then fell heavily.

"It's too far away."

The second time, he rushed over without knowing the pain.

Eddie didn't leave him again.

When he punched, clasped his wrist, it didn't take much effort, just a light tug.

boom!

A loud bang.

At the same time, there was a muffled groan from Ozymandias.

His arm was snapped behind him, and the next moment, Eddie stepped on his back and knocked him into the ground.

After a while of dizziness, Ozymandias heard the man's faint voice.

"Do you want to keep trying?"

"Try...Of course...Go on!"

What is this degree.

For he is Ozymandias, the son of Pharaoh, the favorite of the gods.

The feeling of being completely crushed is really terrible, even though the more you try, the more you understand that the gap between him and this man is like a bottomless abyss, but the more it is like this, the more it makes his blood boil.

Today's purpose is indeed not to "defeat him" without self-knowledge.

In other words, his purpose has always been that one, and it has never changed.

must……

"Even if you are a teacher... you can't! Step on me!"

must……

The young man who was already scarred and bruised seemed to have a frightening aura in an instant.

He broke free, leaped from the ground, and threw himself at his teacher as he had tried countless times in the past.

After Eddie's mentality changed, he stayed where he was, waiting for the challenge from Ozymandias.

But he—seems to have underestimated the boy a little.

The figure is as nimble as a cheetah, and as fearless and ferocious as a lion.

He called out the man's name loudly, the flames were still burning in his eyes, fueled by excitement, eager to try.

"…………Ah."

Suddenly, Eddie chuckled again.

"It's quite rude, who allowed you to call me by my name directly."

"but."

—If this is what you want to show me.

--very good.

"Barely, I can see it."

While Ozymandias is relentlessly proving himself, it hurts to tell the truth, but the truth is, Eddie has been in a trance.

A kid who hasn't completely escaped childhood can easily handle it, and even if he grows into adulthood, there won't be much difference.

He just remembered in passing that the spirit of Ozzy-Ozymandias two years ago has been preserved, the essence has not changed, but the appearance has changed a little.

Even if his unqualified teacher didn't find out until now.

The rather glaring high-spirited look on his face not only didn't weaken, but became more and more intense.It was also at this time that Eddie remembered that if it was his former self, he should like such a person very much.

It's not that he doesn't like it now, it's just that he doesn't want to have anything to do with others.But the problem is that Ozymandias seems to be born to fight against him.

He kept challenging him and annoyed him so much that his train of thought was abducted by the annoying boy in the gap that he didn't realize.

How should I put it... Nie Yuan, or is it bad luck for him to be entangled by such a person again?

Forget it.

Eddie's thoughts returned to the present in the next moment.

That is the moment when Ozymandias pounced on him for the last time.

In his eyes, he finally saw the embarrassed and menacing look of the young man.In addition, it also mixed with a sense of helplessness.

Ozymandias did not expect the subsequent development.

He thought that in the next second, he would either be thrown ten meters away like before, or be kicked to the ground, and it would be impossible for him to touch a corner of the teacher's clothes or a finger.

But when he rushed up to the teacher, barely missing him—

"……what?"

He actually hit him.

In the past two years, Ozymandias has grown a lot taller, perhaps because of the substantial increase in exercise.

Originally, he only reached Eddie's waist, but now he was so high that he almost reached the man's shoulders.

Caught off guard, before he could stop, the prince bumped into the teacher with a shocked expression on his face.

Eddie: "Stupid or not, do you want to rush over and hit me or hug me?"

Ozymandias: "..."

"No, it doesn't count this time—I'll do it all over again!"

Ozymandias may have been really stunned by this blow, and actually took two steps back.

Eddie: "?"

then.

The young prince pondered for a while, and then made a move that made Eddie stunned.

He raised his arms generously and hugged his teacher.

So, the young man, who was almost at the same level as the man's shoulder, put his forehead against the man's shoulder.

"Yes, Not Bad."

"Nifertari and Moses sent you wine, so I'll use 'this' as a present."

"—That is, the past two years plus the future, thank you, teacher. However, thank you is gratitude, I will still beat you!"

"I told you not to wishful thinking, I was defeated by your kid, what kind of teacher am I?" Eddie said.

At a height that the short boy couldn't see, the man's expression was a little tangled, as if he was about to get goosebumps in dislike of his apprentice's sudden warm embrace.

However, even so.

He didn't say no after all.

……

After that, it seemed that only a turning time passed.

Because I accidentally pampered a certain kid that time, that kid will start to turn the world upside down.

Eddie was walking well, when suddenly he was hugged violently again.

I found out a long time ago, but I was too lazy to get out of the way, and I was too lazy to clean up my apprentice to let him know what it means to respect the teacher.

This time, from behind, he stretched out his arms openly and embraced him.

"teacher."

It was no longer the somewhat clear boyish voice, but the voice sounded behind him at this time, between a boy and a man, had already shown signs of being deep.

For the same reason, the height has also changed.

Three years have passed this time.

The 15-year-old Ozymandias reached Eddie's shoulders, and now, Ozymandias has surpassed his shoulders, reaching the point where he is only a little behind him.

Because in the past three years, he was used to being fluttered by a silly apprentice who seemed to have discovered something interesting. The kid who can be regarded as an adult hugged him with his shoulders and chest together, and he was neither beaten nor thrown out.

Ozymandias was thus able to say the latter.

"I'm back." He announced, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"The more than ten challenges owed, let's make up together today, huh?"

His Royal Highness is very high-spirited.

Leaning from behind and talking, he accidentally noticed that the man's sideburns were blown up by the air from his mouth.A few strands just floated to the tip of his nose, making it itchy inexplicably.

It was more than just the tip of the nose, but Ozymandias didn't notice.

He frowned and simply blew again.

well.

Just because of this small gesture that he didn't care about, he got his wish - annoyed the teacher who seemed to be in a very upset mood.

Eddie raised his hand expressionlessly, and slapped his apprentice's handsome face after he had grown up, slapping him away abruptly.

"Don't make trouble."

His tone was really low.

"I'm going to Nefertari's place, I don't have time to talk to you."

Ozymandias (shocked): "Why!"

Eddie's face changed slightly.

"I really didn't expect that she could learn like that just by teaching her casually..."

"Teach? Wait, during the time I went to the army, did you go to be a teacher for Nefertari?!"

Eddie didn't want to talk to him anymore.

He really doesn't know what to say now.

Because of Nefertari's curiosity, plus——his boredom, and the girl happens to have magical powers.

The "magic" of this world is somewhat similar to Eddie's original power.

He didn't know how to use the magic here, but after wandering for more than 1000 years, he studied it more or less.It is still possible to teach any little girl who is interested in magic.

However, Eddie didn't expect Nefertari to be so talented.

Without his knowledge, the little girl was probably trying a summoning technique by herself.Just now, the summoning technique seemed to be successful.

It's not a monster, it's not a monster, and it's not something weird.

Even if Eddie wasn't there, he knew exactly what she had summoned.

It's related to humans, but it's not humans, but another special existence that Eddie doesn't understand.

As for the identity of that existence, coincidentally, he couldn't understand it any better.

"...Is that what you said back then, 'see you next time'."

"Gilgamesh."
