Sieghardt’s matriarchal battle, exuding anticipation as if he had sharpened a huge sword.
Glenn Sieghart, the owner of the magnificent mansion, sat on his throne and narrowed his eyes.
‘Come to think of it… .’
The quack who earned the name the Saint of Rags said something before leaving.
‘I told you that there are cases where people have special talents.’
Pedric said that some children with a constitution called the curse of extreme cold were born with special talents.
‘Has that talent been revealed?’
Otherwise, there was no way Raon, who was thought to be eliminated right away, would have held on until now.
“Hmm… .”
Glenn let out a shaky breath. It was an image that he, who was regarded as the military god of the North, could not show in front of others.
‘It was a mistake. So big.’
In the past, when I surpassed the human level, my emotions were as dry as desert sand.
Unlike other children, Sylvia, who was born during that period, was not given the affection of blood relatives. She is not the father, she just decides what to do like a zookeeper.
The youngest son, who did not receive his father’s love, his mother’s love, or the friendship between his siblings, lived a creaky life like a doll with strings attached, and left the family with a man he met outside.
‘It really didn’t matter back then.’
I knew that the reason Sylvia left was because of the discord between her brothers and the bad behavior of her subordinates, but she didn’t care.
At the time, I had no interest whatsoever in what happened to Sylvia. All he thought was that he had to become stronger and grow his family bigger.
Five years later.
I only realized this after crossing the demonic wall and regaining my human emotions. That I have made a huge mistake that cannot be undone.
Although they were belatedly able to send guards to save Sylvia and Raon in her stomach, her son-in-law and granddaughter were covered in blood without even seeing their faces.
‘pathetic.’
I bit my lip because I felt sorry for myself. Sieghart’s matriarch, King of the North, and King of the Sword. He could not turn back the past under any name.
The emotional rift with Sylvia was deep, and it was impossible to recover from it.
‘Raon.’
Therefore, I decided to protect my youngest grandson at all costs. Even if he is hated by Sylvia and Raon.
smart.
As I was making another promise, there was a knock on the door.
“Whoa… .”
Glenn erased his tired expression and opened his mouth with a cold intimidation.
“Come in.”
* * *
Raon calmed his excitement and entered the indoor training center.
‘I finally feel like my body has relaxed.’
Thanks to continuous training for two weeks, I rose to the same level as the middle group in most training.
If I grow at my current rate, I think I will be able to reach the same level as Burren and Luna before the exam.
‘Let’s start today too.’
As soon as I picked up the shoulder training equipment, Runaan approached the seat on my left.
“town!”
With a dazed look on her face, as if drooling, she began to lift a tool that was much heavier than herself.
-The girl with the vague face has come again.
‘Leave it alone.’
It wasn’t causing any damage, so I ignored it and continued training, but this time I heard someone sitting down on my right.
“S-sorry. Did I interrupt you?”
A round-faced trainee with a pouch attached to his stomach scratched his head. He is the only one who talks.
‘I said it was Dorian.’
Although he always gets scared and struggles with Rimmer’s instructions, he is very persistent and quick on his feet.
“Would you like some?”
Dorian again took out a round cookie from his stomach pocket and held it out.
“uh… .”
I suddenly received a snack. When I was about to give it back, I felt an intense gaze from next to me. Runaan’s purple eyes were sparkling like snow.
-This is the first time I’ve seen that vicious girl with eyes like that.
‘Did you like sweets?’
Her eyes were fixed on the cookies.
“Want some?”
“… … .”
Raon held out the snack in his hand to Runan. She fiddled with her hand like a wild cat, pondering, and then snatched up her snack.
“… thank you.”
She thanked Raon and Dorian in turn and then bit into the cookies like a rabbit tearing off a blade of grass.
As if the snack was delicious, my tight mouth softened.
It’s like a cat when I take it, a rabbit when I eat it, and like a dog when I usually eat it. He is a unique guy in many ways.
“Hey Raon?”
Dorian put the rest of the snacks in his pocket and turned his head.
“Can I practice next to you too?”
He said he wanted to learn some posture.
“doesn’t care.”
Raon nodded. His own rapid growth is thanks to his Ring of Fire and his past life experiences. He didn’t care if he copied the posture from the side.
“thank you!”
“There is nothing to be thankful for.”
I waved my hand at Dorian’s greeting and focused on training again.
Squeak!
When he was stimulating his muscles with maximum concentration, Dorian heard the sound of the device moving at the same speed and range.
The same was true on the left side where Runaan was.
‘They’re weird.’
– King Bon likes that green raccoon guy.
‘why?’
-Didn’t you bow your head to the king? This is the first worship I have received since waking up.
‘… … .’
Raon was going to say that he didn’t do that to you, but he thought it would be annoying so he didn’t say anything.
‘I have three kids.’
* * *
Week 5.
Raon overtook the middle group in the early morning run and joined the upper middle group.
During self-training that evening, in addition to Runaan and Dorian, there was one more person next to him.
Week 10.
Raon ran at the front of the upper-middle class group, and that evening another trainee joined him next to him.
Week 15.
Raon entered the top group. The scores of the six people next to him also rose vertically.
* * *
Four months have passed since temporary training at the 5th Training Center began.
The training instructed by Rimmer gradually became more diverse, and the level of difficulty also increased without end.
The training, which started early in the morning and lasted until the evening, showed signs of exhaustion on the faces of the children in the top group who had excellent physical strength.
Of course, the basic framework has not changed.
The training from dawn to afternoon when Rimmer gave instructions, as well as the personal training that began in the evening, were all autonomous.
Even if I gave up during training because it was difficult or did not do self-training, Rimer and the instructors did not react in any way.
If you ask for posture or guidance, they will tell you exactly, but that’s it. There was no one telling me to work harder or to be consistent. He almost seemed like an observer, not an instructor.
The training method of leaving everything to children aged 12 to 13 on their own was innovative, if not innovative.
In fact, associates or recommended students who were confident in their abilities did not give their all to training and did not participate in self-training at all.
They thought they could become full-time trainees even without such low-level training.
but.
There was one reason why the children’s behavior changed.
Raon Sieghardt.
He, who is famous for his negative connotations, has begun to bring about good changes in the 5th training ground.
When training first began, Raon’s physical strength was in the lower tier.
I ran all the way to the end on my first run, but I couldn’t reach the middle rank, and my face turned white as if I was going to die soon.
But he held on.
Even children with good physical strength overcame the training to the end, and they were the first to start the self-training and the last to complete it.
Raon wasn’t just panting, he trained his body to the end while emitting white steam, and showed the results of his training right away the next day.
His stamina, strength, and agility have improved noticeably, and his ranking, which was at the bottom, has now reached 10th out of 160 people.
The children who saw it in front of their eyes were astonished.
The children of the collateral and vassal families, as well as the recommended students, were no longer relaxed. I trained to the best of my ability and participated in self-training unconditionally.
He came to think of Raon, who he had only thought of as a joke, as a rival.
Of course, there were children who were not like that.
The immediate Buren and his collateral children ignored the need for extreme physical training and practiced the swords and fists they had learned from their families.
The time passed like a flowing stream as each person did their best.
* * *
“Whoop!”
Raon was running early in the morning and breathing heavily.
As time passed, my physical strength and agility increased a lot, but the feeling of exhaustion did not change because I was always running with all my might.
‘Still, something has changed.’
I could no longer see the backs of the countless children who were blocking my path during the first run.
Thanks to his increased abilities and the ring of fire, there are now less than 10 trainees left in front of him.
-That’s pathetic. Even after a month, there are so many bugs in front of you.
‘It’s amazing that we’ve developed so quickly.’
Lars was still the same. He still complains a lot and cries out every day for me to hand over his body.
‘I thought I could catch it right away, but those two are definitely different.’
Raon’s gaze turned to Runaan and Buren running furthest away. I felt it before, but these two were on a different level from other kids.
He was born with the greatest talent, had a strong mind, received thorough education from his family, and never neglected his efforts.
There are some crooked corners, but since they are now 12 years old, it is not particularly strange.
‘I’m going to run a little more today.’
Raon used the ring of fire to its full potential and kicked the ground.
It felt like my lungs were going to tear like a piece of paper and fall apart, but I kept running, using the ring of fire as support.
“W-what!”
“Raon Sieghardt!”
“this!”
The children in the top group, who were quickly overtaken, opened their eyes wide.
Whoa!
Burren and Runaan also turned around at the sound of the wind coming from behind.
“Uhm… .”
“… … .”
Burren frowned like a tree bark, and Runaan’s eyes sparkled like a cat that found a gem.
The two people turned their heads again and started running forward, as if asking them to follow.
‘It’s definitely different. It’s different, though.’
Raon looked at the two people’s backs and raised his eyebrows.
‘The remaining time will be enough.’
Considering my current growth rate, I thought I would be able to surpass those two in stamina, strength, and agility when it was time to take the test.
Of course, if they use aurors over there, that would be another matter.
‘Come…’ .’
Children from the direct, collateral, and vassal families, including Runaan and Buren, were already learning Auror training methods.
On the other hand, although he was learning the ancient training method called the Ring of Fire, he did not have a single Auror.
‘I need to learn it… .’
As the time came to learn Aura, I was a little worried.
‘The previous one wasn’t bad either.’
The Shadow Aura practice that I learned in my past life is also a pretty good practice.
It can be learned as an attribute, is stealthy, and is sharp, making it excellent for assassination and interpersonal combat.
‘but.’
You can’t become the best with the Shadow Auror technique. Since you have decided to live as a warrior rather than an assassin, you must learn more Auror techniques.
‘For that to happen, I’ll have to work hard.’
The Glenn I had seen so far and the Glenn I had heard about were the same. A cold-blooded person who only cares about his family. Therefore, he is a person who has certain rewards and punishments.
If you graduate from basic training at the top of your class, you will definitely be rewarded accordingly.
‘The goal has become clear again.’
In order to return Sylvia to her original position, she must practice even harder to learn good practice techniques.
-What are you doing? Don’t be satisfied with getting over the bugs, catch those two. Running ahead of the king, I can’t stand it.
Ras’s anger fluctuates and his heart cries out. I held on and ran, and after a while, a message came to mind.
[Withstood the stimulus of .]
[Your physical strength increases.]
-Umm, again!
Raon nodded, looking at Lars who was getting annoyed.
‘I’m using this guy well too.’
* * *
“Today’s training ends here. “Do it for those who want to train themselves, but don’t do it for those who want to talk.”
After finishing his afternoon training, Rimmer left the training center without hesitation. He hummed his voice and mumbled that he was going for a drink.
“Huh… .”
Burren looked at his back and let out an exasperated breath.
‘I really don’t like it.’
I know that Rimmer was called the Light Sword, but his recent appearance has been nothing short of spectacular.
Even during regular training sessions, I just lay down and looked around and had no interest in self-training.
Taking the test to become a regular trainee on a subject like that was like looking at a grasshopper that only runs wild, not an elf.
“Mr. Buren. “Aren’t you doing self-training today?”
While he was frowning at the back of Rimmer’s head, Crane and the collateral children approached cautiously. These guys were quite friendly.
“I have to do it.”
Burren nodded and grabbed the wooden sword. The pleasant hardness of his handle made me smile.
“Let’s begin.”
“yes!”
Burren and the children from the collateral separated from each other and practiced the swordsmanship they had learned before coming here.
Burren was so absorbed in his sword training that he only put down his sword after the sun had completely set.
‘As expected, I feel most at ease when practicing swordsmanship.’
As I trained with the swordsmanship my father taught me, my irritated mood subsided.
“That’s all for today.”
“yes!”
“Thank you for your effort.”
The children bowed their heads in courtesy at Burren’s instructions. Although he was the youngest among them, he naturally rose to the position of leader thanks to his immediate position and absolute talent.
“Those who need additional training, please follow us.”
Buren put down his wooden sword and entered the indoor training room. Then he frowned.
‘That guy.’
Raon was training his muscles with equipment, and Runan and several trainees were clinging to him next to him.
“Whoa… .”
Burren let out a sigh filled with excitement. In fact, it’s not Limerna or the instructors that really make him angry.
‘Raon Sieghardt.’
The guy at the bottom of the family hierarchy who I didn’t even care about started to become more and more annoying.
‘Why are you sticking next to that guy?’
Runaan. I don’t know why the daughter of Slyon, who is said to be the strongest of the vassal families, and whose talent is comparable to that of her immediate descendant, was attached to Raon.
‘shit.’
My stomach boiled when I saw that Runan, who I thought was my rival, was not interested in me and only followed Raon.
These days, even the recommended students who I found to be pretty good were gathered next to Raon, which made me even more annoyed.
“Never mind. “It’s just a bunch of things that are lacking.”
“Even if they are the best, I guess there is nothing they can do about the vassal family.”
“What are we going to do by gathering like that?”
The collateral snickered at Raon and Runaan, but Buren did not laugh.
To be honest, it is clear that Runaan has much greater talent than the collaterals behind her.
“Tsk.”
Buren clicked his tongue and entered the training hall.
I went to the seat next to Raon and Runan, who were training their lower bodies, and lifted a weight heavier than the two of them.
“Oh oh!”
“As expected, Burren!”
“How can it weigh that much…” .”
Not only the collateral, but everyone in the training room burst out in admiration and applauded.
Although he received looks of admiration and astonishment, Burren’s expression hardened like the bark of a tree.
‘Those guys!’
This is because Raon and Runan did not look in this direction and just continued training.
Coooooo!
Burren roughly put down the instrument and stood up, but the two did not even turn their heads. They must have considered each other as rivals, so they focused all their attention on lifting the instrument.
“Ugh… .”
Burren’s face turned as red as an apple. He opened the door with a bang and left the gym.
‘Let’s see if I can make that face even if I overwhelmingly win the top spot!’
