Sieghart possessed powerful armed forces as befitted his reputation as the ruler of the North.
Each of them was a one-party white group, but when asked which military group was the most courageous, five out of ten people chose the Jeonmadae.
Karun Sieghardt, the head of the horse-riding unit and Glenn’s second son, frowned and clicked his tongue.
“patient. “Didn’t you say that he was a patient who couldn’t even move properly?”
“There are more than one maid who heard the conversation between the saint in rags and the head of the family. “She was clearly suffering from a serious illness.”
“I heard that too. The child’s body was not normal when I saw it before and even today. however… .”
Karun Sieghardt tapped the desk. Every time, not just the desk, but his entire office shook.
“He withstood his father’s strength.”
The momentum Glenn gave off was as small as a firefly in front of the sun compared to his original power.
But a 12-year-old child, a patient, endured it. Even though she saw it right in front of her eyes, she couldn’t believe it.
“Would you have been able to endure it if you were Burren?”
“… … .”
There was no answer to Karun’s self-talking question.
“okay. “I wouldn’t have been able to bear it.”
Her son, Burren, began training at the age of seven and often took high-quality elixirs.
Even Buren, who was raised that way, wouldn’t be able to withstand his father’s strength, but the thought of Raon overcoming it kept lingering in my mind.
“Silvia was also more talented than anyone else.”
Although she is now nothing but a wreck due to broken energy and mana circuits, no one can match Sylvia’s talent.
“Can we put people in the annex?”
“It may take some time, but it is possible.”
The butler waiting at the door nodded.
“Put it in.”
Karun turned around with his cold eyes shining.
“Report everything that happens there.”
* * *
Raon left the room before morning dawned. After warming up in front of the garden, he started running around the annex.
Since I said I was training myself to prepare for training, there was no one to interfere.
“Huh… .”
Even though it hadn’t been long since I ran, I was completely out of breath. Her body was incomparably weaker than her previous life.
“Haaa.”
I held my breath. He operated the ring of fire by concentrating on the simple act of breathing in through his nose and exhaling through his mouth.
Every breath that comes in and out contains the mana of nature.
Grains of mana fluttering like pollen traveled through the mana circuit, revitalizing the body and calming the blooming cold.
‘It’s a good flow.’
Raon nodded. The Ring of Fire shows its true value when combined with physical activity. The amount and purity of mana used was incomparably superior to usual.
“Whoa… .”
Although my clothes were damp with sweat and my mouth smelled sweet, I couldn’t help but smile at the vitality the ring of fire gave me.
“Raon!”
As I tried to concentrate more, feeling the joy of training stimulating my entire body, the window burst open, and Sylvia’s face popped out.
“What if I overdo it from the first day?”
“Huh, oh oh… .”
Raon stopped walking and gasped.
“I was sweating so much, it was too much!”
“Uh, it just so happened.”
He let out a rough breath and lowered his head.
‘It’s not a hindrance. It stopped well.’
This time, Sylvia was right. His current body is more like a patient. Even if the ring of fire gives you vitality, if you run any longer than this, you will get in trouble.
‘There’s still plenty of time.’
There is one month left until basic training begins.
It’s time to raise the ring of fire at the end of 2 stars to 3 stars, so don’t be impatient, just proceed slowly.
“I’ll rest in my room.”
“Are you okay? “Is there anything strange?”
Sylvia looked over her entire body with shaking eyes. She shook her head at her.
“doesn’t exist. “I think I should stop and rest for today.”
“If you push yourself like this again tomorrow, I won’t let you train.”
“don’t worry.”
Raon smiled slightly and entered the room.
‘Now I can just practice vertical rings.’
The horizontal ring of fire grows the body, and the vertical ring of fire grows the spirit.
Up until now, we had used the horizontal ring of fire, so now it was time to create a vertical ring.
Raon sat on the floor and closed his eyes. Rather than running, he calmed his mind and accepted his natural mana.
Jiiiing!
A pale shadow began to appear next to the two rings of fire circling the heart.
* * *
Glenn Sieghardt left the family battle and headed to the 5th training hall alone.
When I opened the door to the training hall and entered, I saw instructors preparing the yellow ground that could accommodate hundreds of people.
“Meet the matriarch!”
Glenn waved his hand to the instructors who greeted him and entered the chief instructor’s office located on the outskirts of the training center.
A rocking chair was teetering in the center of the shabby-looking room, and a man with his face covered by a straw hat was lying dead on top of it.
“Stop pretending to sleep and wake up.”
“Ugh… .”
The man sitting in the rocking chair let out a heavy breath and took off his hat. She must have been 20 years old. The handsome man, with his red hair down, yawned and stood up.
Unlike ordinary humans, his ears were raised like blades of grass, and his appearance also exuded a mystery that seemed not to belong to this world.
Pointy ears and an inhumanly beautiful appearance. 5 The chief instructor at the training center was not a human, but an elf, a natural race.
“The only person my sleeping ball doesn’t work on is the matriarch.”
“The instructors are sweating and hardening the ground, but there’s a guy named Seok-seok… .”
“They are following the instructions I gave them. “I work with my head, and they work with their bodies, so it’s fair.”
“Rimer. “You haven’t matured even after 10 years.”
“When people change, they die. “Oh, I’m an elf.”
The elf called Rimer giggled and stood up from the chair.
“What brings you here today? Could it be because of my youngest grandchild?”
“… … .”
Glenn looked at Rimmer without speaking. Since she was with him on the battlefield, she seemed to know what he was thinking just by looking at her eyes.
“Sylvia came and told me about the situation, but I didn’t know that the matriarch would also come.”
“Sylvia?”
“He asked me to take care of Raon so he doesn’t get hurt. “If the head of the family came to ask for something like that, you came for no reason.”
Rimer’s green eyes, which were full of mischief, sank low.
“The head of the family said he would not touch this training ground. “Even if it is my youngest grandchild, I will not accept any exceptions.”
“So be it.”
“yes?”
Rimmer opened his mouth at Glenn’s mumbling.
“Do not lower the training intensity, but increase it as you wish. “So that we can filter out the nonsense.”
“Are you saying to increase the intensity, not lower it?”
“okay.”
“Then my grandson will also fall… ah!”
Rimmer clapped his hands and smiled.
“Hey, I guess you love your youngest grandson more than I thought. The love that I couldn’t convey to Sylvia properly is to that child… .”
“If you weren’t a comrade in arms, your head would have just been blown off.”
“Ugh!”
He made a sly expression and touched his neck.
“Make sure to pick out the stones. “So that only the right people can receive your training.”
“Are you telling me to take a trainee selection test?”
“Do whatever you want with that.”
“All right!”
“I’m going.”
“yep!”
Glenn walked out the door, receiving a salute from Rimmer. Even on the way out, the instructors were compacting the ground.
“… … .”
Glenn looked to the west, where the annex was, then turned and walked toward the Gajujeon. His steps seemed a little heavier than usual.

Raon was sitting in the room with his eyes closed. Golden smoke billowed over his shoulders, which had not moved for over three hours.
[A third ring of fire has been created.]
[ has become 3 stars.]
[The level of body and soul increases due to the effect of .]
[Strength, stamina, and agility increase due to the effect of .]
[The effect of increases mana sensitivity, mental power, and energy.]
[ has reached 3 stars.]
[A strand of the curse of bitter cold disappears.]
“That’s it.”
Raon clenched his fists as he looked at the translucent message that appeared in front of him.
Name: Raon Sieghardt.
Title: None.
Status: Curse of Cold (eight strands), poor stamina, reduced athletic ability, reduced mana sensitivity.
Characteristics: ???, Ring of Fire (3 stars), Water resistance (3 stars)
*Additional abilities are not unlocked.
‘The three stars are definitely different.’
As cool mana passed through my entire body, my body became sensitive and my mind became clear.
As the width of the mana circuit expanded, the pain from the cold lessened, and the muscles in the limbs began to take shape.
‘It’s definitely effective once you get past the basics.’
Starting from 3 stars is the beginner level of Ring of Fire. Even though I had only just reached the beginner level, I felt a big difference between my body and mind.
‘It might have the effect of a status window.’
Thanks to this magical message and status window, the Ring of Fire will have a much better effect than in the previous life.
‘The curse of severe cold has also disappeared.’
I stood up and moved my body lightly. The body is as light as a feather. In my current state, I was confident that I could survive Sieghardt’s basic training, no matter how difficult it was.
‘No, it’s more than that.’
Not only was he able to withstand training, but he also seemed like he wouldn’t be outdone by Sieghardt’s children, who were called geniuses.
“hmm?”
While I was in an excited mood, my stomach growled. Now that I think about it, I skipped lunch and dinner.
‘Should I eat something?’
I left the room and headed to the restaurant. The restaurant was dimly lit, and Sylvia was sitting at the table.
“Why is Mom at this hour…” .”
“I was waiting to eat with my son.”
Sylvia smiled brightly and patted the chair next to her.
“It’s late.”
It was long past meal time as she was creating the third ring of fire, but Sylvia smiled and brought out a chair.
“are you okay. “Sit down quickly.”
Raon sat next to Sylvia with an awkward expression.
“Helen.”
“yes!”
Helen’s voice came from the kitchen. After a while, her maids brought her food, all of which she liked.
“Raon.”
Sylvia smiled awkwardly as she pushed the food around.
“Mom has something to say to Raon today.”
“What should I say?”
“huh… .”
She nodded and did not open her mouth for a while.
“Raon is smart, so he probably thought it was strange. “Why do we live separately and why do people curse at us?”
“hmm… .”
Raon put down the fork he was holding. Sylvia seemed to want to talk about her past before she started her training.
I knew to some extent, but I pretended not to know.
“Mom, you are a sinner. “Because she came back to live on the subject she ran away from the responsibility she had to shoulder.”
Sylvia’s words began to sound heavier than expected.
It is said that he fell in love with his father, whom he met by chance during a mission, and ran away from his family, abolishing his mana circuit and dantian, to be with him, who was an ordinary knight.
“Actually, your sister was there too. “I was two years older than you, and my name was Sia.”
“Then your sister… .”
“okay.”
Her voice sank into a muffled tone. It was a voice that seemed to flow from the bottom of the basement.
“An executive from ‘Eden’ who knew my face attacked me. “Your father wasn’t that strong and I was pregnant with you and there was nothing I could do.”
Eden is an axis of Oma that opposes the Six Emperors, to which Sieghart belongs. Contrary to their warm-sounding name, they were a monstrous group with more powerful people than a kingdom.
“Then how did Mom get back here?”
“My father secretly appointed an escort for me. “They were a little far away from us, but they arrived only after your father and sister were killed.”
“Grandfather?”
Raon narrowed his eyes. She never imagined that Glenn, a cool-headed man who wouldn’t shed a single drop of blood even when stabbed, would be her escort.
“So mom is a sinner in this family. “I really don’t have anything to say to your grandfather.”
Sylvia lowered her head, and Helen and the maids clasped their hands together without saying a word.
“… … .”
Raon looked at Sylvia, who had her head down.
‘That’s selfish.’
Sylvia is selfish. Because she ran away from her family’s responsibilities for her own happiness and then came back to beg for her life.
I also understood why the immediate and collateral members of the family treated her so harshly.
‘but… .’
She is the one who gave him a new life and the affection he had never felt before.
Even if everyone else called her selfish, she was the only mother she had in her two lives.
“mom.”
Sylvia raised her head at Raon’s call.
“Do you regret it?”
“regret?”
“Do you want to go back to before you left the family?”
“That’s not right. “I have no regrets.”
Sylvia shook her head resolutely. She lived as an invisible person in her family, but when she met her father and older sister, she lived like a human being for the first time, she said.
“But I just feel sorry for you now. What a bad mother… .”
“I was happy?”
“okay. “I was happy then, and I’m happy now that I’m with you.”
“That’s it then.”
“La, Raon?”
“I’m okay. don’t mind.”
Raon smiled brightly and held his fork again.
‘It’s okay to be selfish.’
It’s okay to be called a selfish person by others. You can be criticized for being a runaway or a coward.
‘I’ll get it back instead.’
The position of Sieghardt’s direct lineage that she lost. After first restoring her position, she decided to finish the karma of revenge given to her.
“Huh.”
“Master Raon… .”
As tears fell from Sylvia’s big eyes, Helen and the maids standing next to her also shed tears silently.
Rattling.
In the annex restaurant, the sound of clinking dishes and whimpering were a strange combination.
* * *
Raon sent away Sylvia and the maids, whose eyes were puffy, and returned to the room.
‘It would be better to check and then sleep.’
I thought it would be a good idea to cleanse my body and mind and sleep with the ring of fire that reached the 3rd star.
Ugh.
The rings surrounding the heart pulse and rotate like a living thing.
As I reached level 3, the ring’s rotation speed increased and the effect of growing my body and mind also seemed to increase.
‘Good.’
This is the level of 3 stars, which is the beginning of the beginner level, and I was looking forward to seeing what kind of abilities Ring of Fire would show later when it reached the intermediate level and above.
After spinning the ring of fire five times, Raon climbed into bed to sleep. He turned off the light and was about to close his eyes when a message he saw for the first time occurred to him.
[Attribute is unlocked.]
[Attribute has been created.]
[ awakens.]
