Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 22

Black Orca Baby (22)

Episode 22

“Eek, is Princess Gongnyeo angry?”

“Looks like she is!”

“Seems like it!”

Eek, eek!

The twins finally carried me all the way to the first floor, set me down, and then ran off, giggling.

Thanks to them, I only saw their backs as they left, without even having time to be flustered.

‘I was going to praise them.’

Such admirable kids.

Should I praise them tomorrow?

Left alone on the first floor, I walked in a different direction instead of heading to where the carriage always was, as usual.

‘Come to think of it, wasn’t the intermediate institution this way?’

A story I heard from the maids during lunchtime today.

Thanks to that, I was planning to go a little further out to check something.

‘The attendant will just wait until I come back anyway.’

This is the area of the beginner institution, and there’s almost no chance of anything dangerous happening right now.

It would be different if I were still being treated like trash like before, but now that I’m famous, there’s even less chance of anything dangerous happening.

‘There’s a reason why I suddenly thought of those brothers of mine today.’

I already knew how those guys were living around this time.

‘I need to figure it out.’

There’s a family meeting soon, too.

‘First of all, all three of them should be in the intermediate institution…….’

The beginner and intermediate institutions are located somewhat close to each other.

So they share the same garden, and as far as I know, if I keep going straight in this direction, that institution should appear.

Soon, I had to stop walking and stand still in one place.

‘A sound?’

I heard voices coming from somewhere.

I raised myself on my toes and headed towards the sound.

Thanks to the agility that Pierre has been diligently training me in lately, it wasn’t difficult to move without making a sound.

Hiding in the bushes and carefully peeking out, I saw a group of boys gathered not far away.

‘Hmm? Are they kids from the intermediate institution?’

The size of the Aquasiasdel mansion was as large as a village.

All educational institutions follow the law of the jungle. The strong monopolize everything.

Therefore, opportunities were given to everyone.

In theory, even a distant relative could rise to the position of heir candidate alongside the direct line based on their performance in the educational institution if they were strong enough.

What influences this is the ‘power of water,’ and in order to compete with the direct line, the distant relatives had to awaken this power.

The kids receiving education in the intermediate institution are from at least 8-9 years old to a maximum of 17 years old.

After that, they are guaranteed their status as adults.

‘This wasn’t a place where kids gathered, according to my memory. What’s going on.’

Judging by their size, the boys seemed to be from the intermediate institution.

But the atmosphere was somehow grim.

“Hey, can’t you hear? Is this guy deaf?”

“What. Is he a moron? Is he ignoring us?”

As I said before, the direct line is inevitably superior to the distant line.

Currently, all the direct line members except for me have awakened the power of water.

And all my older brothers were of the age to be in the intermediate institution.

‘So…….’

I frowned.

‘It wouldn’t be strange if they were the top dogs.’

Why is that guy being bullied over there?

A boy is squatting down among the boys who are crowded around him.

For some reason, his hair was a grayish color.

Skin as white as ivory.

Jewel-like blue eyes.

……There was no way I couldn’t recognize him.

The beautiful boy in that crumpled posture is my third older brother.

Agenor.

‘Let’s see, there’s a five? Six-year age difference between him and me, right?’

Then that means he hasn’t been out of the beginner institution for very long.

I recalled Layla’s words.

“Your third older brother is the only one who has flustered me this much since Princess Gongnyeo.”

Judging by what she said, his personality doesn’t seem to have changed much from the timeline I knew.

‘But why is his hair like that?’

As I watched intently while hiding, I clicked my tongue.

Huh, that guy…….

‘He’s hiding his hair color with the power of water?’

The characteristics of the direct line of orcas were evident from the hair color and hairstyle, no matter what anyone said.

Even I have hair that is jet black at the base and turns silver as it goes down.

This hair was nothing less than proof that I was born into the direct line of orcas.

But the third older brother over there was cleverly hiding that evidence with his power.

Just leaving his original blue eyes wide open.

I felt both joy and absurdity at the same time as I looked at his hollow blue eyes.

“Hey, I’ve never seen your face before…… Don’t you know that everyone who comes here has to greet us first?”

“Judging by the fact that there’s no black in his hair at all, he seems like a distant relative with thin blood?”

“I know, how did a guy like this even get into our class?”

I looked at the snickering boys with disdain.

The external criterion that distant relatives prioritize among themselves is whether there is even a little bit of black mixed in their hair.

If there isn’t? Then they immediately ignore them.

“There’s no place for a guy like you here, why don’t you just leave? No one’s going to stop you.”

Another characteristic of the direct line is the white spots that look like eyes on both sides of the crown of the head.

This was a characteristic that only the direct line had.

My older brother was even hiding these spots with his power.

“……D-don’t, don’t do it.”

Well, well?

‘He’s doing all sorts of things.’

When a timid, trembling voice came from Agenor, the boys stopped talking for a moment.

Soon, the boys looked at each other and burst out laughing!

“Hey, did you hear this XX’s voice? I thought it was a goat. Baaaa~”

“Hey, someone give me some paper. Does he eat it? We have a goat beastman in our family?”

“I have paper! Should I bring it?”

As I’ve said many times, orcas are born with bad and violent personalities, so much so that they are called ‘gangsters of the sea.’

This tendency becomes more pronounced the stronger the bloodline.

They act like untamed beasts with bad tempers or like people with something wrong in their heads.

And among them, my third older brother, Agenor…….

‘He was a crazy guy who enjoyed being bullied…….’

The beautiful boy smiled slyly when no one was watching.

I looked at my older brother with disdain.

‘Ah, now I remember.’

As I said, in the previous timeline, I ran away from the family, and only after becoming stronger did I return, beat up my older brothers, and take the position of head of the family.

In other words, we only properly faced each other after we had grown up.

Because of that, I didn’t know in detail what kind of school days these older brothers of mine had spent.

However, I had heard a lot from my subordinates.

A lot.

“A, Agenor-nim [Nim is an honorific] in his school days? Uwaaaaaaak!”

“Why is he like that?”

“I think he was in the same class as Agenor-nim.”

“Why is that?”

“Ahem, well…… Agenor-nim back then was really…… um, unique. At first, he pretended to be a distant relative and hid, and then…… he let himself get beaten up a bit……. Just when he thought it was enough, he almost killed a few of his classmates.”

One of the things I came to check today was definitely related to that Agenor.

But to see him in person. I don’t know whether to be happy or troubled.

‘That’s right, it was exactly as my subordinate said.’

Agenor was an older brother who spoke very little.

“What, why does he volunteer to be bullied and get beaten up? I can’t imagine it? Why? I can’t do it. Bring him here!”

And he always volunteered to be the one who was hated.

Even I, in the 3rd timeline, only after defeating that guy did I hear why he enjoyed being bullied…….

He said that was the moment when he got the most attention, so he liked it.

It’s a way of thinking that I can’t understand at all.

‘What a twisted human being.’

Perhaps in this timeline as well, that human was planning to live like this.

“Hey, eat it. I’m telling you to eat it?”

“Goat bastard, why aren’t you saying anything when I tell you to eat it! Are you ignoring me?”

Starting with someone kicking him, an atmosphere was created where a beating seemed like it would happen any second.

Agenor’s eyes trembled.

Seeing that 모습 [moseup – Korean for ‘appearance’], there was a part that came to mind.

“I didn’t intend to kill my classmates from the beginning……. I just, I was just thinking about it, but when I actually got hit, I didn’t feel so good…….”

It was a face that didn’t seem to have thought that far.

I clicked my tongue and picked up a stone in one hand.

Am I worried about Agenor?

No, then they’re making fun of the crazy orca direct line.

‘If he uses his power, those guys will all die.’

Just as someone was about to kick him and Agenor closed his eyes tightly.

“Stop it.”

The boys stared at me with their feet still raised.

Looking at them, there were only orcas, without any other whale vassals or aquatic animal beastmen.

Huh, just like our class.

These guys are a complete gang of young thugs. I know enough to know. Tsk, tsk.

“Who are you?”

The biggest and fattest guy glared at me, panting.

Then, the boy next to him widened his eyes and urgently nudged the biggest guy.
