Return To Begin A Career As Viking! 7 Superhumans Exist!

'Kuh, well at least it will not have an impact on my daily life, even so ... walking in this world is even harder than on earth'

Heikko thought that with it would be even more difficult communication by land and a mult.i.tude of other problems.

'at the moment ... then how is it that the writings that there in this room speak of all those distant lands if it is more difficult to reach them? How is it possible for people who travel so troublesome at sea to endure? '

Heikko could only think that the way to support these trips was due to the fact that humans on this planet were more resilient than on earth.

'' Maestre, could you explain to me how it is that the people endure such long journeys by sea? ''

'' Well ... that depends on where you want to go! being able to go to the Middle Sea would take you almost 3 months with a Drakin boat full of armed crew, and a thing of 2 months in a fast trip, most of those who embark on these trips are men tanned by the sea or pract.i.tioners''

'' pract.i.tioners? Does it mean like my father? who can use magic? ''

Heikko's memoirs did not contain any information about pract.i.tioners other than the fact that they were strong people beyond the human limit, but as soon as the division of power between them did not have the minimum knowledge.

Maestre Jordian saw him with some resignation and shook his head, Heikko had not learned many things for making mischief and now that he was serious seemed to flood him with questions that were basic at least for someone who studies general knowledge.

'' pract.i.tioners do not use magic what they use is something known by the ancient Rohan Empire as Vindictus, this Vindictus is the physical and vital energy that your body generates, unlike magic it only resides in your body and helps you generate more power than what is humanly possible "

Heikko listened carefully so he did not interrupt, he knew that if he asked something the Maestre would be angry.

'' the Vindictus unlike the magic uses the body to reinforce it and to cross it as if it were channels, we call these channels the Old Wooden Tree in the northern lands, other cultures have their own names, there are different levels of power in which the pract.i.tioners can be divided, besides there are other systems to be able to be strengthened "

'' Wait then is not it just that way to strengthen? ''

Heikko was somewhat confused by the words of the Maestre.

'' Of course, there are other ways to obtain power, they have even been able to merge to reach new heights! Just as there are the 'Old Order Warriors' who use Old Wooden Tree, there are the 'Holy Warriors' who use the Divine gifts In order to grow their strength, there are different ways that are not minor in power some of these roads are strange and mysterious, some of them is the Magi Path or also known as the Soul Masters, even though these last 2 are not very welcomed by the other influences ''

It could hear some resentment in the voice of the Maestre but still continued with his explanation.

'' well as I said, let's focus on 'The Old Order Warriors', they mostly focus on the energy that runs through 'the Old Wooden Tree', in addition to physical reinforcement through training, in general the measure of dividing Different levels of combat power into most divisions is Hardness-Black Iron, Mysterious-Bronze, Immaculate-Silver, Glorious-Gold, each of these levels can be divided into 3 different stages known as Soldier, Elite and Perfect or Veteran, the changes experienced between each level are abysmal ... ''

The Maestre's face was cloudy, Heikko could see that the history of the Maestre was not simple and it was not something that could only be traced to this remote island of the central continent.

'' In short, these are levels of power that are far from ordinary people, knowing too much sometimes is worse than not knowing certain things so I will not detail much, something I can say is that never offend someone who identifies as someone within those rows, a Hardness Pract.i.tioner is at least 2 to 5 times stronger than what a normal human could be, the stronger this is in this level then he will be even more incredible in the future "

Heikko was a bit frightened by it, because the most potentially strong that a human could be, was enough to kill someone with a punch, of course, if he hit a clean blow and that was extremely difficult.

'' then ... how common are Hardness Pract.i.tioners? ... ''

'' haha, have I scared you? do not worry they are not common although that if I tell you that at least those who are renowned need to be Pract.i.tioners, besides the people who have the talent and what it takes to be Practices is quite strict, only about 7 out of 100 have the talent to practice and of them less than a tenth have the resources to be able to practice "

Heikko relaxed a bit by being able to hear this, at least it was not like everyone could kill him in one fell swoop.

'' then how many pract.i.tioners are in our family? ''

'' ..., currently, under the power of your father, there are ... 220 of them ''

'' ... ''

Heikko was left with his mouth open when he heard that his father was the leader of this large number of superhumans, that only deepened the mystery of the power of his father, because if less than 10% of the people who lived in the town could be pract.i.tioners, then that was a matter of 500 people at the most and not all of them would have an outstanding talent, besides not only that, but the number of resources necessary to be able to maintain all those subjects that could be said was an armory with feet is not a small quant.i.ty!

'' 220! ..., how is that possible? Is not it expensive to keep all these people? "

'' hehe, maybe yes, but do not forget that your father is the head of your family, and your family is the tenth strongest in Frozland, do you know why it is the tenth and does not occupy a greater position? ''

'' uhh, no ''

Heikko had a complete doubt about it, with 220 Black Iron pract.i.tioners it was illogical to be only the tenth family, he did not believe that the small island could support a large number of people with that level of power and minus if these are from different groups.

'' It is because of the inheritance that the other families have, besides the alliances with the powers of the central continent, your father is one of the few who lean towards the independence of the island of affairs in the central continent, the other 9 The main families have links with the central continent in the north and, in addition, they are allied so that none of the families will fall so your father cannot attack one without the others responding. "

'' then ... the pressure that he must have must not be small, no?''

'' snort, now why do you think your father wants you to learn and seek life at sea as a merchant? things in Frozland will not remain calm in the times to come ... sigh, after all, they have had almost 600 years of prolonged peace on this island ''

the Maestre was affected by the fact that it seemed that the currents seemed to come out of the depths to the surface.

seeing that he had spoken too much, the Maestre cleared his throat and diverted the subject.

'' In short those are the different levels and phases that the pract.i.tioners are divided, I do not have a precise idea of each level because they are secrets kept hard by the different powers in the kingdoms and lords even though I know what the Hardness Black Iron are, the change they experience is more than anything their physical strength, as well as speed and resistance, they increase the density of their body and require at least 4 or 5 times the food that a normal human might need, there are some magic and alchemical products that have been found and Invented to be able to replenish the nutrients they need to survive, after all, if you sail to the sea, the food would not be enough with a group of pract.i.tioners, right? "

' so ... what is the combat ability of a Black Iron pract.i.tioner? ''

'' that can vary, some are particularly strong others fast and others are more balanced, but can resist the attack of at least 2 or 3 people at the same time being a Black Iron Soldier, between 3 and 4 people being an Elite Black Iron, and between 5 and 6 people being a Veteran Black Iron, that is only on average, it is known of some who were excellent warriors and could fight to die and take with them more than 20 or 30 men, some legendary characters are said to be able in antiquity fight battles against even bigger numbers ''

'' ... ''

Heikko could only think of some of the legends that existed on earth, would it be true that some of those were true and the earth once had this magical kind of power?

'Ugh, that does not matter anymore since I'm not there so it's best not to pay much attention'

Without the possibility of checking it, he could only continue to listen to Maestre Jordian and know more about this world.

"Even so, you should not depreciate the normal people armed groups, after all these years, weapons and strategies have been created to combat these types of enemies, some pract.i.tioners are known to have been raided under the rain of hundreds and thousands of arrows. ''

Heikko could not help but think of those Hollywood scenes where the heroes ended up as if they were a porcupine.

'' In the end, although the practicing ones are dangerous, at the end of the day they should be integrated into the system of kingdoms and lords, the legends tell that they were once treated as if they were G.o.ds but those are others times...''

after that chat the Maestre was somewhat annoyed and preferred to focus again on the normal lessons, making Heikko have to suffer again from trying to understand Latin.

...

Heikko came out somewhat tired after studying for all that time when he left and it was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon he went to the main square where he could unravel a bit.

Thurm was already waiting for him to accompany him, Heikko nodded and this responded with a nod to Heikko.

A few minutes later he arrived at the square but contrary to what he expected, he could hear a little activity in the place, the laughter of some children besides what seemed to be some voices of younger infants.

Heikko did not have much intention to interact with kids even though, he had a little doubt about it and he felt weird interacting with adults only these 2 days having such a small body.

'' haha, if I win you, you must give Helga's doll to my sister! ... ''

As soon as he arrived Heikko could hear the arrogant voice of one of the children who were he could recognize the voice, was someone he doesn't want to meet, he knew it was better to avoid the conflict, but because the voice that answers to that kid was even more familiar he has to do something, it was Taros one of the few friends that Heikko had.

'' Ku, do not think that because you are heavier you'll be so easy win me..., and that doll is of my sister ''

'' Just because you're together with the weakling of Heikko's you think we cannot touch you? Now that he has left you alone, let's see how you escape from this! "

another of the boys could be heard to respond with mockery to the words of Taros.

'' Go, hit him once! If he is going to give the gossip to the son of the Great Chief then it will be bad for us! "

'' haha, we should give a lesson to that effeminate too! ''

Heikko was just entering when he heard these words, stopping the pace, and feeling a little uncomfortable, the words of a kid did not give him much anger, but certainly, the kids used to be a pain of the worst in the eggs when it comes to hara.s.sment and annoys.

'ah? effeminate!... snort ... '

Heikko had no way of refuting that so he came in to see what was happening, upon entering he could see a group of children at least 30 of them, there were some girls in the back and the boys were forming a circle in the center of the arena, it seemed that the square was used as a center for combat events and had fine sand.

In the most central part of the circle was a boy who did not look more than 13 years old, this boy was of thin but tall complexion and with deep eyes and reddish-brown hair falling at the height of his eyes he was Taros, while who had front of He was a boy a little younger than 11 years old but of great stature of at least 158cm in height and more than 50 kg in weight, he had a round face and short hair at the sides with braids back on the top of his head that guy ever anoys him it was Bolti.

both boys were surrounded by boys more or less of the same age.

One of them was the one who looked at Heikko first and muttered something to the one next to him, then soon the word spread and everyone kept silent to see where Heikko was coming with Thurm behind him, the atmosphere had turned a little strange.

'So this is the prestige of being the son of the Great Chief ...'

Heikko felt a little strange, it was like when the newcomers entered the company and learned about his deeds and that he would occupy an administrative position on the board.

'' Who did you say is an effeminate? ''

Heikko's voice was not loud but it could see that he said it with authority and arrogance, the kids just kept quiet before Heikko who could certainly be said to be Androgynous.
