“Another test?”
Raon tilted his head. The graduation exam for Sieghardt trainees is usually a simple method of sparring between trainees or passing a course created by an instructor.
Looking at Rimmer’s sly expression, it seemed like it was no ordinary test.
“You guys have a lot more experience than other trainees.”
Rimmer clicked his tongue and waved his finger.
“Sparring at the risk of honor, battles at the risk of life, and even how to fight using strength. “I went through all the experiences that only formal prosecutors have.”
That was right.
5 The trainees at the training center are not as experienced as they were in their previous life, but they have gained much more experience than the Robert family or other training center trainees.
If you give such children an ordinary test, they will all pass without difficulty.
“Exams are an opportunity to accelerate growth more than usual. “A half-baked test is not helpful to you, so I changed the test content.”
“hmm… .”
“surely.”
Everyone nodded at Rimmer’s explanation. After watching Raon’s performance, the trainees who joined him wanted to climb higher than becoming an ordinary swordsman, so it was a natural reaction.
“So what tests do we have to take?”
Burren raised his hands and leaned forward.
“survival.”
Rimmer’s expression changed suddenly. The local guy who made jokes disappeared. A heavy yet sharp energy shone on his back.
“It’s survival. “You will abandon your status as Sieghardt’s trainees and go out into the world with only your name and a sword.”
“Bird, survival… .”
“100 million!”
“Go out with just your name and a knife?”
Survival was an unexpected test, so all the trainees gaped.
“I understand you’re embarrassed. Because the outcome of the graduation exam will be different from what you expected. But this is clearly a necessary ordeal.”
Rimmer sat down on the podium and looked down at all the trainees.
“You are full of confidence now. He defeated the Owen Kingdom’s training knight, survived the war against Eden, and ate the elixir to grow into an Auror and even his body. There was also a small battle with the 6th training ground. Well, someone’s power was great.”
He slowly turned his eyes to look at Raon.
“Come see how big and wide the world is through your own eyes, filled with confidence.”
“hmm… .”
The trainees were too embarrassed to speak, but Raon nodded alone.
‘That’s true.’
As Rimmer said, what trainees who have become stronger both physically and mentally need practical training right now.
Regardless of the power of their family, fighting with their own strength will lead them to a higher place.
“But I also accept rejection.”
Rimmer raised his eyebrows and smiled.
“It is not easy for you, who used to eat meals prepared by your family and sleep in beds provided by your family, to live outside. This time, neither I nor the instructor followed. “You could really lose your life.”
He nodded slowly.
“So, for those who are scared, think about another graduation exam. “If there is anyone who might refuse, think carefully and tell them tomorrow.”
“hmm… .”
“Uh, another test?”
“There’s no need for that.”
Unlike the trainees who rolled their eyes and pondered, Marta shook her head and patted her hair. Her dark eyes flashed as she stepped forward.
“survival? I’ve been doing that since I was a toddler. “Try as much as you want.”
Marta snorted as if it didn’t matter what test she gave.
“I’m fine too.”
Burren came forward with a calm voice. Her deeply sunken eyes did not waver.
“A graduation exam with the theme of survival. As the instructor said, I think this is definitely an opportunity to grow to the next level. “I accept it.”
“Are there already two?”
Rimmer grinned and raised two fingers.
“I will do it too!”
“me too!”
“Please include my name too!”
When Burren and Marta participated, the trainees raised their hands and shouted that they would participate.
“Good. good.”
Rimer clapped and smiled every time a trainee said they would participate.
“Runan.”
Raon turned around and called Runan, who was standing blankly. As if it didn’t matter what happened, she rhythmized the clapping of her li mer with the rolling of her feet.
“What do you want to do?”
“What about Raon?”
“I have to do it.”
“Then I want to do it too.”
She said she would go forward and participate in the training. All 42 practitioners raised their hands, leaving Raon alone.
“Raon. How about you?”
“Of course I will go.”
“Hmm, is it okay for you, the senior, to answer so ignorantly? Do you know where I am sending you?”
Rimmer stuck out his mouth with a sly expression.
“it’s okay.”
Raon did not fall for his provocation and smiled.
“It will definitely be difficult enough to kill us, but the instructor won’t give us an ordeal we can’t overcome.”
“you… .”
Rimer’s expression suddenly changed as he spoke with confidence. Rather than saying he liked it, his eyes looked slightly embarrassed.
Rimer understands the strengths and weaknesses of each trainee and provides training accordingly.
As I found out not long ago, most of the work he did was for trainees.
There was no reason not to trust Rimmer, whose actions and tone were light, but whose thoughts were heavy.
“Me too.”
Buren stood next to Raon and nodded.
“He’s lazy, can’t keep his appointments, and is addicted to alcohol and gambling, but he’s definitely good at education.”
“joy.”
Martha turned her head, but didn’t say anything. This meant that she agreed to some extent with what Buren and Raon said.
“It touches my heart that my students thought that way.”
Rimmer made a sniffling sound with his mouth and pretended to cry. It seemed like she was trying to pass it off as a joke, but judging by the way her mouth turned into a crescent moon, she was clearly happy.
“There is no such thing as looking at it like that. “You need to be well prepared.”
When he held out his hand behind him, the instructor handed him a document.
“Originally, I would have told you in a week, but since we all agreed, I’ll tell you where you’re going right away.”
“Are we all going to the same place?”
Burren raised his hand and asked a question.
“No way.”
Rimmer waved his finger.
“You guys pretend not to be like that, but you have a strong tendency to rely on one guy.”
His gaze turned to Raon, and the trainees followed his gaze.
“hmm… .”
“Yeah, right… .”
“It’s definitely a bit like that.”
The trainees seemed to agree to some extent with Rimmer’s words and ate it.
At first, they were jealous and hated Raon, but as they trained together, experienced combat, and overcame crises, the trainees began to follow Raon wholeheartedly.
“It’s encouraging that your relationship has improved, but a one-sided will is not good.”
Rimmer smiled softly and looked at each of the trainees one by one.
“By taking this test, you yourself must become a prosecutor who can be of help to others.”
“yes!”
“All right!”
The trainees could sense his sincerity as an instructor and raised their voices to leave the training ground.
“Okay then… .”
Rimer opened the booklet he received from the instructor.
“Burren Sieghardt.”
“yes!”
“You are the Western Levyun Desert.”
“All right.”
“Martha Sieghardt. You are in the eastern Cian Canyon. and… .”
Rimmer did not wait for the trainees to respond, but instead called out to them where they needed to go.
“… Runaan Slion. You are the Katam jungle in the northwest.”
“yes.”
“Now it’s the last time. Raon Sieghardt.”
All the trainees’ names were called, and now Raon was the only one left.
“yes.”
“You are from the northeast. “It’s Habun Castle.”
“Habun Castle… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes.
‘They’re sending me to a terrible place.’
Habun Castle is a castle further north than Sieghart, and was one of the battlegrounds where monsters from the North Sea and Mount Stelin were fought 365 days a year.
‘It will definitely help.’
No matter how much I have the ring of fire and how much I have mastered manga, I have not yet regained all of my senses from my past life.
If you entrust yourself to that battlefield, you may gain more sense of life and sense than your previous life.
“There is one month left until departure. Gather information about where you need to go, and think and decide for yourself how to prepare and what to prepare. “All of this is a test.”
Rimmer closed the booklet and lifted his chin.
“yes! All right!”
The eyes of the trainees who answered loudly contained both expectations for growth and concerns about the unknown.
“Like the other guys, you’re going to have a hard time.”
Rimmer came down in front of Raon and gave him a murderous look.
“It is a place called the hell of battle because there is no room to insert a sword.”
“Hey!”
Dorian, who was stuck in Habun Castle together, was scared and his legs were shaking. Raon chuckled at the sight.
“If it’s hell, it’s okay.”
“uh?”
“How strong will you be if you overcome hell? and… .”
Raon nodded, his eyes overflowing with anticipation.
‘Because I’ve been through real hell.’
* * *
“Uh, do I really have to do that?”
When we returned to the annex with the story about the graduation exam, Helen shook her head trembling.
“I heard that Habun Castle is one of Sieghart’s walls, so there are endless strong monsters. They say they prepare for other tests as well, but do you really need to go there? .”
“This makes me… .”
“I have to go.”
Before Raon spoke, Sylvia put down her fork and knife and nodded.
“But it’s a very dangerous place… .”
“Still, I have to go.”
Sylvia shook her head at Helen and then looked at Raon.
“It’s an opportunity for Raon to grow.”
After sparring with Raiden, she no longer saw Raon as a child. test. He was regarded as a qualified prosecutor.
Of course, that didn’t mean Sylvia wasn’t worried. Her hand holding her water glass was trembling slightly.
“Mom is right.”
Raon lowered his eyes while looking at the worried gazes of Sylvia, Helen, and the maids.
“As the instructor said, this is not a test but an opportunity to grow. “If an opportunity comes, take it.”
“okay. “Well thought out.”
Helen and the maids still seemed to have a lot to say, but Sylvia, who lived an unattended life, was different. She was now clearly acknowledging herself.
‘It’s comfortable.’
Helen, the head maid, has a strong say, but Sylvia cannot win. Now that she had her consent, she felt like she would be much more comfortable with her future training.
“Then I’ll go practice.”
Raon put aside his finished plate and stood up.
“Raon.”
As he was about to return to the room, Sylvia turned her head.
“If you’re going to do it, be prepared. So that we can be prepared for whatever happens.”
“huh.”
Raon nodded trustingly and entered the room.
“lady. Are you really okay?”
“Ha, is there any way it will be okay?”
Sylvia’s hands trembled as she held the glass of water. There was no way I could relax knowing that my only son was going to a dangerous place.
‘but… .’
Unlike Helen, I knew what kind of person Mu-in was and what the prosecutor was doing, so I had no choice but to let Ra-on go even if I didn’t like it.
Raon goes anyway, even if he blocks it. It was the right thing to do for that child to let him go.
“Still, I’m worried. Because it’s such a dangerous place… .”
“It’s natural to be worried.”
Sylvia nodded.
“So we have work to do.”
“Something to do?”
“okay. “I have to do my best to maintain the status quo so that Raon can rest comfortably when he returns.”
She looked around at the maids and smiled brightly. It was a smile that hid the anxiety that could be seen as her mother and the owner of the annex.
“lady… .”
The maids silently nodded, agreeing with her words.
Judiel quietly clenched his fists as he looked at Sylvia and Helen.
* * *
Even though Raon knew that he was leaving for a place called a battlefield in a month, his life remained the same.
I trained early in the morning as usual, went to the 5th training center to receive training from Rimer and the instructors, and stayed until the very end in the evening to continue training.
However, the intensity has increased to a level that is different from before.
Burren and Marta, who were watching, were sick of it, and Runaan was so exhausted that he fell away.
“Whoa… .”
Raon returned to the annex after a week of training that was so difficult that his strong mental strength was weakened.
It was time for everyone to be sleeping, so I opened the window and went into the room.
“hmm… .”
The room was so clean that there was not a trace of dust in it, and the clothes and bedding had a soft scent.
‘There’s no need for this.’
Despite my true feelings, I smiled.
I was grateful to Sylvia and the maids who made it possible for me to have a comfortable time no matter when I returned.
“ha… .”
Raon exhaled and sat down on the bed. The recent training had been difficult for him, so he fell asleep easily.
As I was about to lie down, I felt something on the bed.
“what?”
When I tilted my head and lifted the blanket, I saw a small booklet.
“This… .”
Raon’s eyes became the size of a flower lantern as he read the booklet. The booklet contained information about Habun Castle, where he had to go.
Geographical information, information about the monsters that appear, and even information about the people there. It was clear who gave it to me.
‘Judiel.’
This was information she had prepared after learning that she was going to Habun Castle.
“Tsk.”
Raon savored the bitterness that wetted the tip of his tongue.
“I need to make sure we conclude before I leave.”
