Even after the delegation from the Owen Kingdom left, the trainees did not move. I stood there blankly, as if in a daze, and just watched Raon’s back.
We knew that Raon was strong because we watched him every day, but no one would have thought that he would move so fast and unleash such strong sword strikes, as he always moves as smoothly as water.
“Uh, uh… .”
“You were that strong?”
“Uh, how come the difference is getting more and more… .”
When the trainees were unable to come to their senses, a cool sound of hand clapping was heard from the podium.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
Rimmer sat down on the podium and grinned.
“Thank you for doing your best despite the sudden sparring.”
“no!”
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to spar with a training knight from the Owen Kingdom!”
The trainees actually bowed their heads in gratitude for allowing them to spar.
“Then I’m glad.”
Rimmer grinned and kicked in the air. He seemed to be in a better mood than usual.
“Well, it’s all over. I need to tell you a few things. First of all, are there any of Owen’s training knights who joined you today? “They are not just knights in training.”
“yes?”
“Then what… .”
When he paused for a moment, the practitioners swallowed their saliva.
“Those guys are elites captured and raised by the Owen Kingdom. “If they grow up, they are talented people who will become royal knights or silver knights.”
“omg!”
“The Royal Guard and the Silver Knight!”
“It was somehow too strong… .”
The trainees opened their mouths.
The places that only the elite of the elite can enter are the Royal Guard Knights and the Silver Knights of the Kingdom of Owen.
The knights of the royal guard are shields that protect the king in the royal castle. The Silver Knight is a sword that cuts down enemies that threaten the kingdom.
It was no exaggeration to say that the two knights were the elite of the Owen Kingdom.
The trainees could not hide their surprise that they fought similarly to the trainee knights who were certain to enter such a place.
“It is worthy of praise that we fought similarly to those kids. Everyone applaud yourself!”
“Hey!”
“Waaah!”
“We won!”
The trainees raised their hands and cheered.
“Hmm!”
“Chief instructor.”
While Rimmer was happily cheering, a hand came up from the center. Burren stood up unsteadily.
“Can you fight them again?”
Burren’s expression was severely crumpled, as if there was an enemy right in front of him.
“If anyone sees it, they’ll think you lost.”
“If you don’t win, it’s no different from losing.”
“Personally, I like this posture.”
Rimmer smiled and nodded.
“It was said that the knight-in-training with you was the future leader of the Royal Guard knights. If you continue to develop, you will meet even if you don’t want to meet. Of course, at that time, I would not be a knight in training, but a knight. then… .”
“I guess I should become a prosecutor.”
A haze bloomed in Burren’s green eyes.
“I know very well.”
“Just one more.”
“what?”
“If the knight-in-training with me is the future leader of the royal guard knights, then what are the three princes? “It wasn’t royal level swordsmanship.”
Burren’s question was valid. Even though he was only 15 years old, the Three Princes’ military power was strangely strong.
“They say the Three Princes are the future greatest swords of the kingdom.”
“omg!”
“and… .”
Simultaneously with Rimmer’s answer, silence fell in the training hall. The trainees looked back at Raon with wide eyes.
Raon, who easily defeated the man who was said to become the best sword in the kingdom in the future, had an expression that made him wonder what kind of monster he was.
“Today’s training ends here. “You used more stamina than usual, so go back and rest.”
Rimmer clapped his hands again and disappeared from the podium. However, the surprise about Raon remained in the trainees’ eyes.
* * *
Raon was the first to leave the training hall, leaving behind the shocked looks in the trainees’ eyes.
Normally, I would have stayed and trained even if they told me to go back, but now I had work to do first, so I quickly headed to my dorm.
As soon as I entered the room, I sat down on the floor and tapped the flower bracelet.
Hwaaaah!
A blue chill bloomed like a flower bud from the bracelet. However, the cold trembled as if filled with anger.
– Damn it! How could I lose to you with that kind of power! I believed they were royalty, but they were stupid and lowly!
Lars gritted his teeth, filling the entire room with a chill.
-If the real king were that guy, you would have been turned into a block of ice and torn to pieces. A prince who can’t even use his power? It’s so pathetic!
Ras seems to have felt a closeness to the prince since he was the king of the demon world. He must have been very upset about losing the bet, so he became angry and chattering at the same time.
-When King Bon was in the Demon World, he easily defeated a large enemy with less mana. Later, in the monarch vs. monarch confrontation… .
“Ah yes. Until there.”
When Raon hit the bracelet, Lars’ words were cut off.
‘That must be cut off at all costs.’
If the phrase ‘when the main king was in the demon world’ appears, you should stop and watch. If you listen to that, you will receive your reward tomorrow morning.
“Why don’t you stop talking later and give me a reward for betting?”
-This is a scam. I didn’t know I couldn’t even use the power that guy had.
In fact, the three princes fought well. The manga ball just demonstrated tremendous power regardless of the amount of aurors.
“So you’re not going to give it to me? “By becoming the monarch of the demon world?”
-Do you think that King Bon is a person who tells lies like a meal? I keep what I say. Even if it’s a scam!
[You have won the bet with .]
[Victory reward will be paid.]
[All abilities increase by 4 points.]
As soon as the message that my ability level had increased appeared, my whole body trembled slightly as if I had been shocked.
“Whoa.”
This joy of growing physically and mentally all at once was so ecstatic that I could never get used to it no matter how many times I experienced it. I could do any mission for this reward.
Kuuk.
I clenched my fists. As my ability score increased by 4 points at once, I felt a clear difference in my grip strength and muscle elasticity.
Name: Raon Sieghardt.
Title: First Victory
Status: Curse of Cold (6 strands)
Characteristics: Anger, Ring of Fire (4 stars), Water resistance (4 stars), Sense of Tales (2 stars), Manga Ball (2 stars), Extreme Cold (2 stars), Fire resistance (2 stars).
Strength: 47
Agility: 47
Stamina: 48
Energy: 36
Senses: 58
It wasn’t just this reward, but thanks to continued training, my abilities had increased significantly. Because of his increased numbers, I felt proud just by looking at his status window.
-Tsk.
Lars looked at the invisible status window and clicked his tongue briefly. It’s a look in my eyes that I don’t like very much.
-Is it good?
‘good.’
Raon answered immediately without hesitation.
-There is no need to like it that much. No matter how strong you become, in the end you are still nothing more than the possessed body of the original king. There is nothing in this world that this king could not accomplish.
The guy muttered that there wasn’t much left and radiated cold air.
“Oh yeah.”
The temperature dropped to the point where frost appeared on my skin, but it wasn’t cold because of my water resistance.
“Try hard.”
I lightly shook my shoulder, pushed Lars away, and stood up.
-Do not ignore the main king. Even if it takes 100 years, I will take over your body.
‘yes.’
-Quaaaagh!
Raon opened the door and came out just as Lars’ coldness began to explode like a volcano.
Ignore?
Is there any way to ignore it?
Lars is the enemy. It is also the most dangerous enemy.
The reason I create a ring of fire every day and train my body and mind is to avoid losing my body to that bastard.
Although he pretended to be relaxed, he never let his guard down.
One meaningless death is enough. You must become stronger to survive and take revenge.
Raon left the dormitory and returned to the training ground where everyone had left, swinging his sword all night long.
* * *
Three months have passed since Raon sparred with the three princes of the Owen Kingdom.
Although he easily defeated the Three Princes, who were said to be the next best swords in the kingdom, Raon concentrated on training as if victory was a thing of the past.
Trainees these days even give Raon nicknames such as training ghost and training genius. Of course, I only call it from behind.
“I can’t even see the sword properly anymore.”
“Don’t you think that person has become stronger? “The swordsmanship and footwork have become more natural.”
“It’s not like I’ve gotten stronger, I guess I’ve gotten stronger.”
“I’m sick of it. “I’m sick of it.”
The collateral trainees clicked their tongues as they watched Raon immersed in training as if possessed.
“I thought I had caught up a little bit, but I guess I can’t even do it.”
“I know. I also trained until the soles of my shoes got worn out… .”
The trainees were so moved that they increased their training time not just from sparring with the Kingdom of Owen, but from when Raon defeated Martha.
I thought that because I trained hard, the gap in skill with Raon had narrowed a little, but I was wrong.
The difference in skill did not decrease at all, but rather the overwhelming difference only widened.
“This is… .”
“It’s a difference in talent.”
“okay. The talents we were born with are different. If you can’t do it no matter how hard you try, there’s nothing you can do… .”
“Do you think I tried my best just because one shoe was damaged?”
“huh?”
The trainees turned around at the angular voice.
“omg!”
“Uh… .”
“Bur, Burren!”
Buren was crossing his arms and twisting his mouth.
“It’s very convenient to elevate others with just one wonderful word, talent. Even if I try my best, I can rationalize that it won’t work. by the way.”
He continued speaking as he passed the trainees.
“It’s not too late to do that after tearing off at least ten shoes, not just one.”
Those words are not to the trainee, but to the past self. It was something he said to his past self, who was jealous of Raon without knowing how hard he worked.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“sorry… .”
“I have nothing to be sorry about. Because it’s your life.”
Burren took the training swords that were behind the trainees and went to the center of the training hall.
“Master Burren. “Don’t you think you’ve softened a little?”
“In the past, I would have completely ignored it… .”
“hey. come. shut up!”
“Sigh!”
The trainees fell silent when they saw Martha walking from the left.
chin.
Martha took out her training sword and put it on her shoulder. As she walked to the training ground, her short hair almost touching her shoulders, she stopped.
“He got soft?”
She gave the trainees a blatantly pitiful look.
“It’s a volcano that’s about to explode, but it’s softened. Your eyes aren’t as bright as rotten orcs’.”
Martha sneered and walked to the training hall, brandishing her sword.
Raon and Runaan moved their bodies without stopping, and Buren and Marta struck their swords with great force as if they would not be defeated by them.
“Wow, I’m suffocating.”
The practitioners shook their heads and sighed.
5 A monster lives in the training ground. That’s 4 of them… .
“okay. but.”
One of the practitioners looked down at his water lily painting and then looked up.
“There’s no better place to improve your skills than here.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“that’s right.”
The other practitioners nodded. 5 It was clear that my skills improved much faster after coming to the training center.
“Let’s go too.”
After a short break, the trainees entered the training room holding their training swords.
“Good.”
Rimmer was sitting on the tree behind them and smiling.
“The pillars hold up well, so they follow on their own.”
In the center of the training hall, I saw Raon, Buren, Runan, and Marta swinging their swords one after another. As the four children of different colors ran as fast as they could, the children behind them naturally followed their path.
Those four played a big role in developing the children’s skills beyond being instructors.
“Hmm.”
Rimmer sat down on a tree, twirled his red hair with his fingers, and nodded.
“Now we can give it a try.”
