The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Suna continued, "The problem isn't with you, it's with your magical spirit."

　Dark frowned even more: "My magical spirits? Is there something wrong with them?"

　Suna said, "To be specific, it's your white cat and the lion-man."

　Dark: "Gatomon and Leomon?"

　Suna sighed, "It's them, two magical spirits with the potential to become heroes."

　……

　When the topic of "heroic potential" came up, Dark gradually began to understand.

　However, it's just that magical spirits possess "heroic potential." While this is special, similar situations do exist, and there are even more unusual cases.

　Among the classifications of magical spirits is the "human species".

　It contains infinite possibilities.

　It is entirely possible that, by chance, a historical figure could be created.

　There have been more than one great mage who attempted to recreate historical figures using magical spirits.

　Although such replicas can only produce empty shells and have been listed as "taboo" and jointly banned.

　But if it was created by chance, there's nothing that can be done about it.

　Those magical spirits of the "human race" usually possess special properties, and "heroic aptitude" is just one of them.

　Of course, neither Gatomon nor Leomon is a "human species".

　……

　"Could this be the problem?"

　Dac pinched Galileo's flesh and thought it was unlikely.

　In fact, it has nothing to do with it.

　Suna slowly said, "Do you know the origin of the title 'Hero'?"

　Dak nodded slightly and said, "I have looked into it."

　The title "hero" has very deep roots.

　According to the legends of this world.

　The earliest humans were called "Saints," which meant both gods and humans.

　In order to protect humanity, the "Saint" was once divided into three.

　These three differentiated fetuses grew into adults.

　One of them became an unparalleled hero.

　The other became an all-knowing sage.

　The last one became an incomparably noble emperor.

　All the "heroes" who came after that were descendants of the first "hero," and were the true "children of God."

　This is the origin of the term "hero," and also the reason why "heroes" are special.

　……

　Seeing him nod, Suna continued, "The bloodline of the hero originates from the 'Saint,' making them the true 'Children of God.' However, with the changing times, the hero's bloodline has gradually dispersed, with more and more people possessing it, while the bloodline itself has become increasingly diluted. In fact, my husband, Alex, also possesses a relatively diluted hero's bloodline. He could have been a candidate for hero, but because he refused the Holy Church's offer of investiture, he was not recorded."

　"To become a true hero, one must gain the approval of numerous holy swords and use them to replenish one's bloodline."

　"The previous hero, Bright God, became a true hero through this very act."

　"And his descendants are born with nearly 50% of the bloodline of a hero."

　"I think you should know who his descendants are, right?"

　Dark nodded: "Witt God."

　Suna's expression gradually became serious: "Then you should also know that Witt Gold grew up in an orphanage."

　Dark said after careful consideration, "That's right."

　Suna said, "Your mother and I were both comrades-in-arms of the previous hero, Bright God. We went through the final battle against the Demon King together and witnessed Bright God's sacrifice."

　Dark: "He is great."

　Suna closed her eyes briefly: "He truly is great. Even though he had a premonition that he was going to die before the war started, he still rushed to the front line without hesitation. That's Bright Gold, a man who carried the destiny of a hero."

　Dark: "The destiny of a hero?"

　Suna squinted and said, "A hero is someone who bears a destiny. Throughout history, no one who becomes a true hero has ever lived a long life."

　Dark frowned: "There's such a thing, but why is there no record of it?"

　Suna said slowly, "Haven't you noticed that there are very few records about 'heroes'?"

　Dak fell silent for a moment.

　He did not believe in the so-called "fate of the hero," but there were indeed very few records about "heroes."

　If we use probability to statistically analyze the lifespans of heroes throughout history, we might actually arrive at the conclusion Suna mentioned.

　Because he suddenly realized that people's impression of "heroes" seemed to have always been...

　The story stops at the point where they eradicated evil, but doesn't tell the story after they eradicated evil!

　Do heroes become more low-key after eliminating evil?

　Those who can become true heroes are all people with outstanding strengths. How could they disappear so easily?

　Is there really such a thing as "the destiny of the brave"?

　……

　It must be said that Suna's statement was indeed very misleading.

　And neither Aylvit nor Claire refuted it.

　This at least partially corroborates Suna's statement.

　……

　After a long pause, it was finally Alvitt who spoke: "Whether the fatalism of heroes exists or not is actually not important. I had someone conduct research after the war ended, and it's true that the lifespans of heroes throughout history were not long. Even if they didn't die on the battlefield, they would die from some kind of misfortune after the war. I'm more inclined to believe that the 'hero bloodline' itself is problematic."

　"Is there a problem with the bloodline of the hero itself?"

　Dak slowly repeated it.

　Arvit's statement is clearly more acceptable.

　But isn't the so-called "bloodline of the hero" said to originate from "one-third of the saint"?

　Or is it because the human body cannot withstand 100% "hero bloodline"?

　……

　Such conjectures are also difficult to prove empirically.

　Dark could only believe for the time being that being a "hero" was not a good job.

　By now, he had a general idea of ​​what Suna wanted to say.

　And sure enough.

　Suna then said to him, "Your two magical spirits, Leomon is one thing, but Gatomon's display of hero potential is even more profound than that of the current hero's son. Principal Arte and I have discussed that a hero's potential doesn't come without a foundation. If you continue to develop, you are very likely to become a hero in a different way."

　“This is also what we are worried about,” Arvit said thoughtfully. “In fact, even if ‘heroes’ don’t die young, the path to becoming a ‘hero’ will be difficult and arduous. This is not what we want to see. Moreover, the large number of potential heroes often signifies impending disaster.”

　Suna nodded and said, "That's exactly why I came here. We must be very careful about the matter of Dark potentially becoming a true 'Hero'!"

　Aurora, standing beside her, couldn't help but feel a little surprised: Didn't you come here to break off the engagement?

　But Lord Suna Montilfali never mentioned the words "annulment of the engagement," or even the "arranged marriage."

　This made Aurora waver.

　……

　Suna continued, "In fact, my husband's injuries have never been fully cured because of the part of his hero bloodline that he awakened. The toxins corroded the holy sword, thus infecting his bloodline. No potion can work on this mutated bloodline."

　"Is it dragon's blood cancer?" Arvit frowned slightly.

　Suna nodded sadly: "Yes."

　Dak, not understanding, asked, "What is dragon's blood cancer?"

　Alvit said slowly, "It's a special disease that was once prevalent among hero candidates. For those with the potential to become heroes, it's like a dragon that can devour their lives in an instant!"

　Suna said, "In short, being a 'hero' isn't an easy job. If a new disaster really occurs, let us old guys step in."

　But Alvette said, “It’s rare that you and I think so closely. But we should both know that some things can’t be solved by running away. And Dark has his own ideas, and I will support his decision. Of course, in order to ensure that he has the authority to make his own decisions at any time, I have prepared a vacation package for him. Aurora is here too, so let’s go together.”

Chapter 466 Hero? Not even a cat (4k)

　Dark knew something about Alvit's preparations. But at first he thought it was just normal "summer tutoring," never expecting it was caused by Gatomon and Leomon.

　Even to him, the "brave qualities" displayed by Gatomon and Leomon were quite perplexing.

　This is especially true after learning that the "heroic potential" in this world is related to bloodline.

　"Perhaps the 'bloodline' here is a metaphysical concept, rather than physical inheritance."

　"But if that's the case, how does dragon's blood cancer develop?"

　"Could this illness actually be a curse?"

　After thinking for a moment, Darks saw Alvette turn to look at him and ask, "So, what do you think, baby?"

　Dark instinctively replied, "A hero? I wouldn't even be a cat."

　Arvit: "Huh?"

　Dark then said again, "The basic attributes of magical spirits are fixed. The so-called hero aptitude of Gatomon is the same as what it has from the beginning, unless it is forged a second time. Aunt Montilfali probably thinks that I, who forged Gatomon, also have similar potential to Gatomon. But I don't think we need to worry about that."

　Suna asked curiously, "How so?"

　Dark shrugged. "I can't unleash the true power of the 'Holy Sword'."

　Suna said, "But perhaps that just means it hasn't awakened yet."

　Dark sighed, "Awakening... I don't really like that word. Anyway, I have no interest in being a 'hero.' Even if I do awaken the hero's potential as you're worried about, as long as I don't go collecting the Holy Sword, it'll be fine, right? So, regarding the holiday package we've prepared for this, could we...?"

　Just as Dak was about to decline the summer tutoring class, he saw Alvelt's face quickly turn from sunny to gloomy, and he said in great disappointment, "But this is something Mom has worked so hard to prepare for for so long..."

　Dark couldn't stand this, and subconsciously changed his mind, saying, "Then let's give it a try?"

　Alvit: "(? ￣3) What?!"

　……

　So the "summer vacation tutoring" arrangement was finalized.

　Dark was dismayed to discover that the holiday schedule would likely be even more packed than what he would have spent at the college.

　The two families then chatted for a while longer.

　The head maid, Jasmine, knocked on the door and entered, informing them, "The rooms for the two guests have been arranged, and you may retire to bed at any time."

　“Then let’s talk again tomorrow.” Arvit stood up first, looking at Suna.

　Suna understood and said, "Shall we take a bath together? It's been a long time since I've had a heart-to-heart talk with someone."

　Alvie nodded, then said to Dark, "Go back and get some sleep. Tomorrow morning, take Aurora and have a good look around the capital."

　“Okay, Mom.” Dak turned to Aurora and nodded. “See you tomorrow.”

　Aurora raised her little hand and said softly, "Goodnight."

　Dark smiled slightly, turned around and left the living room.

　He knew perfectly well that Lord Montilfarie might have other things to say, but that didn't seem appropriate to say them in front of him.
