Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched the Gwangpungdan unfolding the Daegwangpungjin and dealing with the Dogae.
‘You can clearly see it.’
Since the Ring of Fire reached 7 stars, the individual prosecutor’s shortcomings and discrepancies in the examination naturally came into view.
“Martha. Lower your stance and place your sword in the middle. “You, the team leader, have to stand in front so the team members can have some time.”
“Shit… .”
Martha cursed, lowered her posture and placed her sword in front of her dantian. Seeing how she quickly made up for her shortcomings, it was clear that she had improved her skills over the past month.
“Runan. The speed of Auror operation is slowing down. “Refine the aurors in more detail to block the Commander-in-Chief’s movements.”
“huh.”
When Runaan nodded, the silver energy from her swordplay spread like fog and began to dominate the space of Dokai.
“Buren. You worry too much. When you see an opportunity, you need to dig in more boldly. “It was your mistake to remain silent even after seeing the Commander-in-Chief’s loophole.”
“I thought it was a trap… .”
“What distinguishes it is skill. Develop your sharp eyesight.”
“Ugh, I know!”
Buren cheered up and rushed straight ahead. A cold wind was released from the decisive sword strike.
“Let’s go too!”
“huh.”
Marta and Runaan followed suit, rushing in on both sides, each pouring out their swords.
The Gwangpungdan retreated while maintaining their position when the sword struck the strong force, and when they lost strength, they immediately dug into the gap and unleashed a sword attack.
‘I think everyone will be satisfied.’
Even though I was controlling my strength, I was able to withstand well against the strong-armed Dogoe, so I thought Gwangpungdan would be satisfied and proud.
-Satisfaction?
Lars sighed and pointed to the windmill.
-Do you see in your eyes that they are satisfied?
I followed his hand and looked at the Gwangpungdan again. His eyes were slightly open, his breathing was heavy, and his hands were shaking. It seemed like the limit had been far exceeded.
Since I had been training for a week with almost no rest, it was natural in a way. However, this was a necessary training that could bring out each person’s limits.
‘It must be difficult. However, if you experience that situation in real life, it will be too late.’
Tiller, Vice King, and the Four Masters that I met in the previous mission were not easy opponents either. In particular, he was almost annihilated by his father.
In order to never experience something like that again, the strength and mental strength of everyone in the Gwangpungdan, including myself, had to be increased.
-Hmm, well, that’s true.
Lars nodded, saying he had no choice but to agree with that statement.
-Ice Cream Girl and Beef Girl must be saved.
‘There’s one more.’
Raon pointed to Dorian, who was in the back of the examination room looking scared.
-Okay… .
Lars nodded slowly, as if he had no choice.
-Oh, I know. That guy was the first… .
The guy sighed and muttered, ‘Why did you make that choice?’
-Because of that coward, Jin’s flow is being pushed back. Tell them to go forward.
Ras frowned and pointed out Dorian’s shortcomings. No matter what it looked like, this guy was sincere in caring for his subordinates.
“Dorian.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t be scared and come forward. “Where else can someone as powerful as you be hiding?”
“Oh, I understand.”
Dorian swallowed dryly and moved his foot forward slightly away from the camp.
Coooooo!
That alone makes the blast wave even more effective. Everyone came together as one and put pressure on Dokke.
However, strong power is not always good. Do-gae slashed his sword towards the center of the sword attack that was coming in like a wave.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The Gwangpungdan, who were only thinking about attacking, were thrown back in all directions by the force of the collapse that shattered the center of Jin.
“Keuuuuu… .”
“Fuck… .”
“I was too hasty… .”
The Gwangpungdan members stretched out on the floor and groaned. Thanks to many battles and experiences, they knew what they had done wrong.
Raon stood at the end of the podium and smiled slightly.
“I’ve said it many times, the moment I attack is the best moment for my opponent to counterattack. Always keep that in mind.”
“Yeah… .”
“Oh, I understand.”
Gwangpungdan barely nodded in a weak voice.
“And then… .”
“I can’t do this anymore! You crazy guy! “Better kill me!”
Martha raised her head and shouted loudly.
“I’m at my limit now. “Oh my god.”
Burren put his hands together in prayer as if asking for his life.
“I’m going to sleep… .”
Runaan lowered her eyes as if telling her to do as she pleased. Seeing her breathing become steady, it seemed like she really was asleep.
“Listen carefully. The next training starts tomorrow. “Go back and rest today.”
“oh?”
“Uh oh!”
“Are you sure?”
“Wow!”
Gwangpungdan gaped as he looked at the sun that had not yet set.
Everyone cheered because training had not ended before sunset for the past month.
“Starting from the next training, we will also spar with other teams. “Please be well prepared.”
“Sparring with another group?”
“You should clash with the swordsmanship you have accumulated so far against swordsmen of similar level.”
There are times when the difference in skill between you and Dogoe is so great that sparring is meaningless.
It will be of great help to fight with all your might against swordsmen of similar level once in a while.
“It literally breaks the seal.”
“I like it!”
Marta grinned and raised her hand.
“If you can improve your skills, you should do anything.”
Buren also nodded.
“Hmm… .”
Runaan slept.
“So when are you going to start doing this? Prepare properly and end with victory… .”
“tomorrow.”
Raon grinned and pointed to Training Center 5.
“Noon tomorrow. “We will meet up with Cheongeungdan here.”
At those words, everyone in the Gwangpungdan stood up with their eyes wide open. It was a reaction that did not appear even when given a break.
“Cheongeungdan?”
“Those numbers are no joke!”
“My, there’s less than a day left at noon tomorrow!”
“Hey you bastard. Even Danju gave me one day!”
“Oh God!”
“If there is a devil, catch him!”
Gwangpungdan slammed his head into the ground and cried out to God and the devil.
-I’m sorry.
Lars laid his eyes on the floor and sighed.
-The main king was also robbed…
* * *
Jjiiiiing!
The sad cry of the requiem sword echoed through the small garden.
‘Good work.’
Raon patted the sobbing requiem sword and then put it into the sheath at his waist.
“This is hemophilia. How was it?”
I smiled slightly and looked to my right. Roen, Yua, and Julius stood blankly.
“Huh… .”
The toddler stuck out his mouth and began to sob.
“The song itself has a bright feel, but the sword’s cry is so sad that I can’t control my emotions… .”
She couldn’t speak and shed tears. Because she had a talent for music, she seemed to feel the sadness of the souls in the bloodstream.
“Well, I’m touched! To be honest, I don’t know about Hyeol-woo, but Cheong-woo makes his heart boil. “I feel like swinging my sword right now!”
Julius smiled while holding the wooden sword at his waist tightly. Seeing his face turn red, it seemed like he really liked Cheongwoo. I laughed because it was a typical prosecutor’s personality.
“As expected, you are amazing.”
Roen smiled and nodded. When Yua and Julius came to pick them up, they asked Cheongwoo and Heewoo to listen to the demonstration, and looking at their expressions, it seemed like he was impressed as well.
“Cheongwoo is a step up from what you showed me before. No, I think it’s evolved a few steps. “The power and range have taken a different dimension.”
“That’s too much praise.”
Raon shook his head with a faint smile.
“And the hemophilia… .”
Roen narrowed his eyes and paused slightly.
“As Miss Yoo said, it is a sad song. “It contains resentment, screams, pain, and even longing.”
He could read all the emotions contained within just by listening to it once. He was, after all, no ordinary warrior.
“It won’t cause much damage to the general public yet, but if it becomes a little stronger, whether it’s the Lord of the Wild Wind Budan or the Requiem Sword, there is a possibility that it could become a threat to ordinary people as well.”
“ah… .”
“To be honest, I still made some adjustments.”
Roen pointed to Yua and Julius with a faint smile. Blood fighting was originally a sword technique that only worked for white-blooded believers, but as the requiem sword absorbed the blood energy of the apostles, it seemed to have an effect on ordinary people as well.
“thank you for telling me.”
It was my first time using a blood clot in a long time, so his words were of great help.
“By adjusting the range and power of Blood Rain and Blue Rain, you will be able to fine-tune how the Aurors operate. It may be difficult, but it will be a great learning experience.”
“yes. I’ll try my best.”
Raon nodded. Since the Ring of Fire has reached 7 stars, controlling the Blue Rain and Blood Rain won’t be that difficult.
“Ah, do you have the pyroxene necklace that the matriarch gave you earlier?”
As if he remembered Roen, he raised his finger and pointed at his neck.
“It’s not there now, it’s in the annex.”
The necklace seemed more decorative than practical, so I kept it in my room.
“That necklace is made from refined pyroxene, so it is more effective in protecting internal injuries, trauma, and mental strength than other pyroxene necklaces. “It would be a good idea to wear it when going around.”
“Oh, I guess so. thank you.”
Raon nodded and smiled.
“Then I’ll just go. let’s go.”
“yes… .”
“yes!”
He took Yua and Julius and headed to the annex.
Roen smiled as he looked at Raon’s back as he walked away.
“You’re always looking up.”
Looking up doesn’t mean you neglect what’s below. Although he was young, he was like a warrior’s utopia.
“I wish you luck.”
* * *
Sieghard Gaju match under the clear sun on the first day of the new year.
As Glenn was receiving a report from Cheryl about the Cheongeomdae’s activities, the throne room door opened, and non-banquet owners Chad and Roen came in.
“Go, matriarch. “There was a big problem.”
Chad runs to the center and kneels.
“Big deal?”
Rimmer, who was leaning his back against the pillar, tilted his head.
“Well, in a way, I knew it all, but… .”
Chad lifted the documents he had brought with him and sighed.
“January 1, three years after my father Roman. “I sent you a letter saying that I will engage in a life-or-death battle with Gwangpungbudanju.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Rimmer lifted his back and snapped his fingers.
“But instead of starting right away, it took three years after the year changed, so you gave yourself some time, right? “He may be boring, but he’s a cool person.”
I thought it was 3 years from the day I met Roman, but seeing as he gave me 3 years from the new year, it turns out that he was not a person without conscience at all.
“Now three years later… hmm?”
Rimer felt that the throne room had suddenly become quiet and looked up to the stage.
Glenn, Cheryl in front of him, and Roen standing next to the door were glaring at him as if they were going to kill him.
“Why, why are you doing this? “Why are you opening your eyes like that?”
Rimmer swallowed his saliva as he looked at the murderous eyes of the three people.
“If you had done your job, things wouldn’t have come to this.”
“You’re like a cockroach. “Because you have nothing else to do, you rely on his subordinates to survive?”
“Hehe, it looks like Mr. Rimer can’t really pay the price.”
Glenn, Cheryl, and Roen violently slashed at a person’s chest with their tongues instead of swords.
“Ugh… .”
Rimmer clutched his chest and stepped back.
“The words are too harsh… .”
“Would you like me to say something else instead of words?”
Red sparks flashed from Glenn’s grasp.
“no! Just say it! “Just tell me!”
Rimmer shook his head furiously and laughed awkwardly.
Glenn glared at Rimmer with cold eyes and then turned his gaze to Chad.
“Are you here in Roman’s name?”
“yes. “It was not sent in the name of the North-South alliance, but in the name of my father, Roman.”
Chad frowned and nodded.
“If you look at the fact that only your name is included, it means that you will not give room for influence to interfere. “A dirty little bastard is rolling his head?”
“yes. It’s a nasty method. “It probably means that we will fight without putting a burden on the North-South alliance.”
Cheryl and Roen clicked their tongues and glared at Rimmer again.
“Ugh… .”
Rimmer glanced at me and quietly retreated to the side.
Gooooo!
Cheryl tapped the sword on her back, causing a chill.
“Matriarch. Wouldn’t it be better to quickly break up the North-South alliance rather than burden Raon? “You’ve already established your location.”
She looked at Chad as if she wanted a response.
“Oh, yes. “Bo, we have identified the location of the headquarters.”
Chad nodded. Since Glenn had the highest order, he whipped up non-banquet agents to find the location of the North and South Men’s headquarters. However, their power has not yet been determined.
Coo coo coo coo!
When he was about to report that he did not know the history of the North-South alliance, an enormous spirit blazed beneath Glenn’s feet.
“It’s definitely time to get rid of things you don’t know about.”
He stood up as if he was going to attack the North-South alliance at any moment. The presence of Taesan moving shook Gajujeon.
“Now, wait a minute! I don’t know who is there yet… .”
Chad tried to stop him, but Glenn’s gaze didn’t waver at all.
“It doesn’t matter who is there or how many there are. Just erase everything and that’s it.”
“As expected, matriarch!”
Cheryl cheered, raising her fist.
“Our Cheongeomdae will take the lead!”
“Now, wait… .”
“You guys are so excited.”
As Chad’s chin trembled, Roen stood in front of them with a soft smile.
“As I said before, people become stronger if they have a purpose. “Master Raon is growing faster than before in preparation for the confrontation with his father Roman, so it would be better to leave him alone.”
He smiled as he remembered Raon, who had told him about improved hemorrhage not long ago.
“Wouldn’t it be better to wait until two and a half years and then wait for Roman to die as a soldier?”
“Rice, soldier? He hadn’t heard Roman had any illness… .”
“Ah, this is the assassination method I’ve been researching these days. The method is also simple.”
Roen smiled coldly and slit his own throat with his fingers.
“Hmm, maybe not that bad.”
Glenn nodded slowly and sat down on the throne again.
“I see. There is still a lot of time left, so I can clean it up in two and a half years.”
Cheryl also turned her wrist and stepped back. Those two people were talking about the North-South alliance as if they were throwing away stones.
“Uh… .”
Chad’s chin trembled as he looked at the three people who treated the North-South alliance like a stone. These were people who still couldn’t adapt.
“What is Gwangpungdan doing now?”
Glenn saw Rimmer crouched in the corner.
“These days, I’m training mainly on sparring with other teams.”
Rimmer muttered that he had come to report it and glared at Chad. It seemed like he was complaining about why he had come now.
“I’ve been hearing strange things about Gwangpungdan lately?”
Cheryl narrowed her eyes at Rimmer.
“Yes? what?”
“It’s not a frenzy, it’s a frenzy.”
“hmm… .”
Rimmer chewed his lip and looked up at the podium. She was shooting Glenn’s bright, sparkling eyes.
“Why are they called rabid dogs?”
“Well, that…” .”
“It is said that like a mad dog, when facing an enemy, it never backs down and bites until the end to achieve victory. They say he sometimes barks like a dog, but I haven’t seen that in person… .”
Cheryl told me why the Mad Wind Troupe is called the Mad Dog Troupe instead of Rimmer.
“Anyway, Gwangpungdan’s sparring win rate is pretty good.”
“you’re right. As far as I know, he has over 30 wins and 25 wins. “We’ve been almost undefeated lately.”
Chad nodded, accepting Cheryl’s words.
“Raon is also called the rabid dog owner because he is the handler of such rabid dogs.”
“Not bad.”
Glenn nodded slowly. Both the nickname and the Gwangpungdan’s winning percentage seemed satisfactory.
“Master Raon seems to have a knack not only for using force, but also for handling people.”
“Even when we went to training together before, the leaders followed us well.”
Roen and Cheryl also smiled along with him.
“Rimer.”
Glenn stopped laughing and looked at Rimmer.
“yes?”
Rimmer swallowed dryly, feeling a shiver run down his spine.
“It would be nice to see the Gwangpungdan’s skills improve.”
“I’m just thankful that the kids are following along.”
“Then. “Where did you spar with the Gwangpungdan yesterday?”
“… yes? “Yesterday?”
You sparred yesterday?
Raon and Dogoe are in charge of the recent training, and yesterday they were practicing all day, so they had no idea.
‘If you don’t know this, you’ll die… .’
The cells that had lived until now were speaking. If you don’t answer this question, you’ll die.
‘I joined Cheongeungdan first, and then Bichundae. The third… .’
I desperately racked my brain for an answer. And then it occurred to me. The only place that didn’t stick.
“Iron Fighter Group! “It’s the Iron Fighters!”
Rimmer raised his fist and shouted. However, the pressure caused by Glenn did not go away, but doubled, weighing down her shoulders.
“Ugh… .”
“Your wife, Cheoljeondan, was promoted to Cheoljeondae last year.”
Chad turned his head slightly and whispered.
“A guy named Danju doesn’t even know what training the members do and who they spar with?”
“Well, that’s what I said yesterday… .”
When Glenn waved his hand as if he didn’t want to hear it, Cheryl and Roen slowly approached.
“You really can’t do it. “I must have gone to the gambling house again and lost money.”
“This time, I’m feeling a little boiled inside. “Hehehe.”
The two people stood in front of Rimmer with murderous eyes.
“I did exercises all day yesterday! Raon continues to train me… .”
“Raon bastard? How dare you call the matriarch’s grandson careless?”
“Sigh!”
Cheryl kicked Rimmer in the side, threw him into the corner, and started beating him up.
puck! Pow! Bub bub bub!
Chad swallowed his dry saliva as he watched Rimmer being beaten without hesitation.
‘Woe, I’m sure.’
The person the matriarch loves most is Raon Sieghart.
Former non-banquet owner Alyssa’s prediction was wrong. Not only Glenn, but also Cheryl and Roen, who could be said to be powerful people, cared about Raon more than anyone else.
‘I shouldn’t be doing this?’
In order to survive in Sieghart, it seems like you have to impress Raon, not anyone else. As Chad listened to Rimmer’s screams, he thought of a greeting to say to Raon.
“Non-banquet liquor.”
Glenn closed his eyes, opened them, and looked at Chad.
“yes!”
“Recently, a request regarding the White Blood Cult came in, right?”
“This is a request from Grandeville. “The number of missing people has increased rapidly since the end of last year, and recently a body with its flesh torn off was found in Lake Malv, raising suspicions that the White Blood Cult was responsible.”
Chad nodded, remembering the request he received a few days ago.
“Is there anything else the client requested?”
“I asked them to come quickly and, if possible, to send the Gwangpungdan. Gwangpungbudanju. No, I think it’s because of ‘Light Wind Budanlord’’s achievement of cutting down the four apostles.”
“is it.”
Glenn nodded with a faint smile.
“I took a lot of time off in three months.”
Since we had only been training and sparring so far, it was time to give the children real-world experience again.
“I will assign a new mission to the Gwangpungdan.”
