The Prince's Apprenticeship
1
This is a resurrection potion.
You are just a vessel.
Now, begin the resurrection incantation.
Animus, nicoco, redomo!
I am Kage.
He is Bojji.
I see.
DESPER, THE BROTHER
OF THE UNDERWORLD KING, DESHER
Hello there.
We are here today
to seek your guidance to become stronger!
What's going on? This is sudden.
I have the recommendation letter
from Bebin.
Bebin? I see. How is he?
He's okay.
Oh, my… It got torn into pieces.
It was torn by your brother.
And why is that?
That's because…
I see.
So he is the son
of the esteemed King Boss.
He must be outstanding.
My brother likes playing pranks.
He is jealous of me after all.
I've heard about that.
Why is he jealous of you?
I can't compete with him
in strength or leadership.
Besides, he is modest and diligent.
He is well-respected
and he thinks for the sake of his people.
You should have seen the statue.
It is built out of the people's admiration
for my brother.
Is that so?
But the statue's face…
Oh, yes.
My brother broke it himself.
Really? Why?
Well, he feels inferior about his looks.
It's quite embarrassing
to say this myself,
But aren't I quite good-looking?
Well, if I compare you to him, I guess so.
I've been popular since I was little.
My brother is the complete opposite.
I always saw my brother
hiding in a corner crying.
It broke my heart.
Let's not talk about that.
You can make anyone strong, right?
I heard that you can even make
a mediocre person into a king.
It's not exactly like what you said.
He may be mediocre,
but he possesses important qualities.
Important qualities?
That quality is courage.
-Courage?
-The courage to move forward.
The courage to face difficulties.
The courage to trust others.
The courage to always believe in oneself.
No matter how people
looked down on or laughed at him,
he believed in himself
and thought of ways to move forward.
Unknowingly, his followers
began to increase.
And in the end, it turned into a kingdom.
I simply gave the most suitable advice
to make him stronger.
Well then, can you advise Bojji
on how to become stronger?
Do you want me to take him as my disciple?
Yes!
You want money?
Of course.
I need to make a living.
I have a lot of things that I want to buy.
Sure.
I prepared some money.
It's not enough.
But this is all Bebin gave me.
Fine. In that case…
These are children's clothes
and this is a potion.
Sadly, these things
aren't worth anything to me…
Amazing!
That's my entire fortune.
Well, I stole it from Bojji's castle.
I understand. I will accept your case.
All right!
This way, please.
Make yourself at home.
You have to relax before your training.
I'm more curious
if Bojji can become a powerful king.
It should be fine.
Wait! Please don't make it sound so easy.
Is there any problem?
Have a seat there.
Reach out your hand.
What are you going to do?
I can see what others can't see.
Or rather, I can sense it.
What? What's wrong?
He doesn't have the capacity.
Capacity? What do you mean?
That's muscular strength.
How is this possible?
Just tell me what is wrong.
This is hard for me to break to you,
but no matter how hard you train,
you can never become physically strong.
How could that be?
You can never be a hero like King Boss.
There must be other ways to become strong.
Other ways to become strong?
There isn't.
Because he doesn't possess strength.
Bojji.
Wait.
Since I've received your money,
I will make you stronger.
Even though you have no strength,
there are other kinds of possibilities.
Don't worry.
You can be stronger than anyone else.
Thank you… Thank you!
Old man, you are amazing!
An old man?
You have to call me Mr. Desper.
Yes, Mr. Desper!
Very well.
We will start training tomorrow.
I have to get ready for tomorrow.
Get some rest in this house.
Yes!
What's wrong?
What happened to your face?
I had a small argument in the bar.
A man said that I have a camel face
so I punched him hard.
We ended up fighting.
You look awfully beat up.
You fool!
He has it a lot worse than me!
I gave him a good beating.
Mr. Desper, could it be that you are weak?
How rude! That's very rude of you!
How infuriating. I'm going to bed.
You should go to bed early too.
We have cleaning to do in the morning.
Then we will start training.
So he is really weak.
I can't tell if it's day or night
in the basement.
Bojji, you don't have any experience
in cleaning, do you?
Just leave these things to me.
You just have to learn with Mr. Desper.
What is this smell?
-It stinks.
-Bojji, did you cook?
Thank you.
He added the whole carrot…
Even the eggshells.
Aside from the looks and the smell,
it seems like it's delicious.
Right.
Giants have bodies larger than mountains.
Every step they take shakes the world.
A sneeze could cause a tornado to happen.
They can drink up the whole lake
and eat for thousands in a single day.
Kage, listen.
Did you know that Bojji
is a descendant of giants?
No, I didn't know that.
In most cases, giants should be tall.
But he is petite.
Also, giants are many times
stronger than us.
Does this mean Bojji has
some sort of hidden potential?
-About that, I am sorry.
-I see.
But there's something
more important than that.
Giants are gluttonous beings
who can swallow whole just about anything.
Therefore, they have
extremely strong stomachs.
Most poisons won't work on them.
That's right. We mustn’t let him cook!
This is about our lives!
I got it.
Let's get started, shall we?
If you want to become strong,
you must know yourself well.
And your opponents too.
You can be much stronger
when you have a weapon.
Getting a weapon is a way
to know yourself too.
First, you have to find a suitable weapon.
Kage, please wait here.
All right.
We have all the weapons here.
I have in mind the weapon
that can assist you.
I wonder if you think the same.
Please forget your old values
and make your decision.
That's right.
This is the most suitable weapon.
Come. With this weapon,
no one can beat you.
I will teach you
all the knowledge and its techniques.
For a week after that,
Bojji and Mr. Desper trained
in there every day.
It's about to end.
Thank you, Kage.
After training, Bojji would be exhausted
and pass out in his sleep.
Every day without fail.
Hey, why won't you tell me
about the training?
He has to agonize, think, focus,
and train by himself.
Solitude may lead to success, too.
But if Bojji is feeling dejected,
don't ask him anything.
Please just cheer for him.
Of course.
Thank you for the meal.
Maybe he wants to surprise you.
Have a good night, Bojji.
Hi.
Welcome home. Breakfast is ready.
Good morning.
Today's breakfast must taste great.
Okay. Let's go.
Bojji, good luck.
What was that?
Hey!
What happened? Answer me!
What's the matter?
I heard a loud thump. Is everything okay?
Don't worry. Nothing happened.
What?
What?
I see.
So I sacrificed my son once again.
This is a resurrection potion.
You are just a vessel.
Now, begin the resurrection incantation.
Animus, nicoco, redomo!
I am Kage.
He is Bojji.
I see.
