"His name is Khârn, right?"

"Yes, Uncle, please forgive my Scions's recklessness."

"Khârn is good; he's strong and a skilled warrior, but he lacks depth in culture, philosophy, and art."

"Father, I just can't concentrate on my studies."

Tsk.

It seems that as Angron's personality has improved, some rebellious troublemakers have emerged in his Legion.

For example, the Khorne's Chosen from the Original Canon game, the famous Bunny Ears from Warhammer Khârn, Khârn.

"Khârn, don't be rude."

"It's alright, it's alright. It's a good thing that young people have energy," Han Mingxuan said with a smile. "Young man, your name is Khârn, right?"

"It is I who answer the Father of Night!"

Khârn looked at Han Mingxuan with great excitement in his eyes.

Or perhaps his eyes were filled with deep gratitude.

In fact, the entire World Eaters felt an unparalleled sense of gratitude towards this Father of Night.

Because they knew very well that their father had been spared the Butcher's Nails and had been able to return to the Imperium soberly.

All of this credit goes to the man in front of me.

If it weren't for him, their Gene-Father wouldn't be as perfect as he is now.

"Calm down, young man."

"I am so sorry, great Father of Night, I lost my composure."

"It's nothing, but I think you're a troublemaker."

Upon hearing Han Mingxuan's words, Khârn's face turned slightly pale.

If this person were to completely label him as a troublemaker, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Legion anymore.

"Father of Night, I... I am a coarse man."

"Haha, young man, don't be nervous. You know, those kids in the Evernight Legion are all troublemakers."

"The Han Mingxuan, am most happy to teach are the troublemakers."

???

What's going on?

Based on the entire Frontline Legions's understanding of this Father of Night, he should be a very gentle and refined person.

Even their Gene-Father has said more than once that his Uncle was a very gentle, wise, and Farsight person.

But Khârn now felt that the Father of Night before him possessed something else beyond wisdom and gentleness.

Wild.

It wasn't the kind of wild, untamed spirit found in rough, unrefined people.

Rather, it is the kind of wild, all-consuming spirit that only a true hero possesses.

"What's wrong? Weren't you shouting quite loudly just now? Now you're mute?"

"Reporting to the Father of Night! I just can't learn it! I'd rather go to the front lines and fight than learn those things."

So that means you're illiterate?

"Of course not, I do have basic literary skills!"

Having basic literary skills is enough.

"As long as you're not a martial arts fanatic, I'm asking you, why did you shout just now?"

"Because the music was good, and my father's rhythm was good too!"

"Good? In what specific ways are they good?"

Han Mingxuan's question really stumped Khârn.

He has basic literary skills, but it would be a real challenge to get him to articulate a coherent explanation.

Was Khârn a cultured man?

Of course.

However, there is one prerequisite.

The cultural knowledge is limited, just enough to get by.

"No rush, think about it slowly."

"Report!"

"Don't be so jumpy, calm down and speak slowly."

"Fortunately, it's in my heart."

Tsk.

Han Mingxuan was somewhat surprised by Khârn's answer.

Is he truly Khorne's chosen one?

She really is exceptionally talented.

"I'm satisfied with your answer, but you still need to study the culture."

"But I really can't get into it. Those flowery words can't be used to kill enemies, so what's the point of learning them?"

"Who says that refined, literary skills can't be used to kill enemies?"

"Do you expect me to kill him with a book?"

Upon hearing Khârn's unusual question, Angron covered his face in exasperation.

"It's difficult to kill someone with a book, but you can use Brick."

"Brick?"

"They're the kind of Bricks used for construction, the kind you see everywhere on construction sites."

???

"Excuse my bluntness, great Father of Night, Bricks are only good for cracking the skulls of Mortals."

"But you're no Mortals, so the Brick you're using certainly won't be an ordinary object either. The Brick I'm talking about isn't just any ordinary Brick."

Not your average Brick?

"The Brick I'm referring to is the most powerful Brick, crafted with culture and art; each Brick carries a profound truth."

"Father of Night, forgive my presumption, but I truly dislike academic subjects."

"Khârn!"

"Well, that's how it is." Khârn turned his face to the side, muttering to himself.

Although her father was very angry, she still had to say what she had to say.

The World Eaters are meant to rebel, aren't they?

"Haha, Angron, don't worry, he's a good candidate for academic learning."

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Khârn, this is for you."

Although reluctant, Khârn accepted the book that Han Mingxuan handed him.

"Lunyu?"

"No way, no way! This looks like some kind of pretentious, didactic stuff."

"I knew you'd find it difficult to learn, so I've annotated this book. Please take a close look."

Khârn reluctantly opened it and glanced at it, then became engrossed in reading it.

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.

At thirty, one stands firm; at forty, one is free from doubt; at fifty, one knows the mandate of Heaven.

Etc.

"Is... is this explanation correct?"

"Don't you trust me? Thousand Sons and the Blood Angels are both learning this."

"Great! Academic subjects are great! We need to study academic subjects!"

"Father, I'm willing to learn! I'm so willing to learn! From now on, I'm a cultured man too!"

???

This left Angron completely baffled.

How come Khârn has changed so much?

Moreover, based on his own feelings, Khârn felt an unparalleled excitement and an unparalleled belligerence.

However, compared to the past, this belligerent spirit is not as sharp.

It's like a sharp sword that suddenly has a scabbard, but this scabbard is still a powerful weapon.

However, since Uncle said that Thousand Sons and Blood Angels are both studying this book, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After all, these two Legions were renowned for their culture throughout the entire Imperium of Man.

"Uncle, may I look at this book?"

"Of course, no problem."

But when Angron actually read the book, his brow furrowed.

"Uncle, is this right?"

"What? Isn't this wrong?"

"Ah... this seems to be right?"

"That's settled then." Han Mingxuan looked at Khârn and continued with a smile, "Give me your weapon."

Upon hearing this, Khârn produced a pair of Power Axes.

Without saying a word, Han Mingxuan picked up his pen and wrote the word "" and the word "" on the pair of axes.

"You must persuade people with virtue, but even more importantly, you must persuade them with reason. Do you understand?"

Khârn picked up the pair of axes, and he felt extremely satisfied.

The power is surging forth!

"I understand, Father of Night, praise be to your wisdom and might!"

"Good, now that you understand, I have something to ask you."
