I slowly moved my gaze and examined the faces of the eight people who were left behind.

First of all, it is a group of people who look very ordinary on the outside.

Those guys are the usual new recruits who suddenly showed up a few days ago.

‘Well… I guess we have to leave aside the faction’s surveillance group…’

That’s not something I can do about right now.

However, this does not mean that he is giving up, but rather that he is planning to show Adrian’s characteristic psychotic side and make them all fall away soon.

Let’s see how long we can hold out.

Excluding these four watchers, there are only four people left who will become my true disciples.

‘I don’t have any preconceptions, but…’

One guy has a scarred face that doesn’t look like he’s from noble birth.

If he was a noble, he would have used a potion when he got hurt, so he wouldn’t have had a scar like that.

‘He seems to be the strongest… but he doesn’t seem to have any weaknesses.’

Another guy has unusually dark skin.

I don’t mean to discriminate based on skin color, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen skin that tanned to that degree that I was particularly drawn to it.

Another one looked strangely weak, and another one…

‘What is this?’

Of the 168 people, 167 had their faces exposed, but he was the only one who was wearing a full-face helmet and so his face could not be seen.

‘Don’t the commander stop this kind of thing? What are the other instructors doing?’

I really can’t understand.

It’s also suspicious to wear heavy armor when there’s no war coming up right away.

“What are you guys doing! Why aren’t you coming together quickly!”

I yelled at them because they were hesitating and not coming towards me.

My top priority is to deal with the four people who showed up to spy on me.

First of all, once that’s over, I can really start growing my power.

So my concept will remain the same for the time being.

Psycho.

“Who said you could wear a helmet?”

“……”

“Take it off right now.”

There is no response.

A trainee who doesn’t follow orders from the start.

If you forgive something like this from the beginning, you will lose face as an instructor.

“Take it off now!”

It looks like he wants to wet his head, but he can’t because of the thick armor and helmet.

Realizing it too late, he raises both hands and waves them.

“Don’t you know how to speak!? Take off your helmet right now!”

He reached out and took out the stick he had hidden inside his sleeve.

The very thing Adrian used in his memories.

This thin stick cut Angelica’s sword like tofu, and I heard the other day that after being beaten with this stick, the guy’s mana circuits were messed up.

In other words, he damaged Angelica’s circuits without even touching her directly.

Although I didn’t know, it was clear that countless circuits and magic circles were hidden inside this thin stick.

There is a high probability that it will contain all the strength enhancement, status maintenance, and damage natural recovery magic that we saw in the paper.

Of course, I still don’t know how to properly use this stick.

-Kaang!

He swung his stick and struck the helmet the guy was wearing.

Even if you don’t know how to use it, you can do this much.

If it had been a normal wooden stick, it would have broken right away, but it didn’t even get a scratch.

Rather, the attacked opponent is surprised and grabs the helmet.

“What the heck is this…”

“If you don’t take it off right now, I’ll hit you again.”

“Okay, okay, okay, wait! Just take it off!”

Huh?

Where have I heard this voice before?

I instinctively sensed danger.

“Stop! Don’t take it off. Never.”

“Huh?”

When he tried to take off his helmet, I pressed down on the top of his head.

“Don’t take it off!”

“What the hell do you want me to do!?”

“Shut your mouth right now. If you say one more word, I’ll tear your tongue out on the spot!”

“……”

This is crazy.

Why is Princess Charlotte here?

Of course, I saw it appear here a few days ago.

And right in front of your nose.

But why are you still here?

And all while wearing such heavy armor and hiding your identity?

My head feels dizzy.

I can’t keep up with the situation.

Is the director doing this on purpose to tease me?

Or was it sent by the queen?

There’s absolutely no way that could happen.

She is the one who wants to hide her relationship with me the most from her enemies and other factions.

‘arbitrariness…’

okay.

It was the same back then.

Wouldn’t that crazy bitch hide in her little sister’s closet and masturbate?

‘There really is a psychopath out there…’

I had to work very hard to make sure that the identity of Princess Charlotte was never revealed to the group of signers gathered right next to me.

The moment you get caught, it’s all over.

“Everyone, focus! From this moment on, I will call you trainees.”

Amy did.

After the assignments are complete, each instructor has a meeting to explain the future training method to the cadets in charge.

I, too, have been roughly preparing for the lecture.

‘I’m sorry, but this is going to be hell for you guys.’

“Answer me. Those who don’t answer me, those who have a small voice, those who answer late, I will punish you right away. Don’t make me a devil!”

“Yes…”

“What’s the bee?”

“Tsk.”

A variety of reactions and voices.

“Answers should be short and concise, with a simple yes! And if you have any complaints, raise your hand and speak up.”

One of the Watcher’s group raised his hand.

“I don’t know because I’ve only been here a few days, but do I have to stay with you forever? You’re not the instructor we chose?”

It’s not ordinary that you came here on purpose to spy on me, but you’re being so shameless.

He must be an expert in this field who has undergone extremely arduous training.

“I didn’t choose you either. But it’s already decided. Don’t complain. You’ve already had eight chances. And all the instructors turned their backs on you. If you’re going to blame, blame your own lack of talent.”

“……”

“Would this be a sufficient answer?”

“Yeah, well…”

-puck!

“Hey, go, what are you doing all of a sudden…”

The swinging stick collided with the face of the guy who was answering.

Bright red blood flows down.

‘You could have avoided it, but you didn’t?’

These guys seem determined to trick me.

“Keep your answers short and concise. Got it!?”

A face filled with anger and horror.

“Why aren’t you answering? Do you think I need to get hit again to come to my senses?”

“No… ”

“Be brief!”

“No!”

Yeah. Let’s see how long we can hold out.

-Kaang!

“Ugh…”

He struck the helmet Princess Charlotte was wearing again.

“What are you just standing there for! Come to your senses and stop waiting in line!”

“Yes!”

No matter how you listen, Princess Charlotte’s voice is clear.

‘This is driving me crazy…’

I guess I’ll have to tell the director about this.

You won’t be able to do anything freely with this kind of burden on you.

It’s too dangerous to have the princess by my side right now.

* * *

“I think it’s unfair that there are 20 other instructors and only 8 of them. It would be better to distribute the 8 to each instructor like the last batch did, and just have me in charge of equipment management…”

“What does that mean?”

Time to take a break.

I immediately asked the director for advice.

The matter of Princess Charlotte cannot be brought up now.

Because there are other instructors watching from the side.

The director continued speaking.

“What did you say last time? You said that you were a court instructor and that you could teach better than most knights? I want to see your skills, so go wild and do whatever you want. I won’t interfere with your training policy. And if what you said turns out to be true, you can take as many guys as you want from other instructors.”

“C, Chief!? That’s a bit…”

“Jeremy, you keep your mouth shut! What do you think, Adrian? If it were up to you, wouldn’t kids be lining up to learn from you without me having to step up? Or, have you suddenly lost your confidence?”

The only thing that’s lacking is the number of people in charge.

It was a message to prove your skills and steal students from other instructors.

‘Even so, that’s true… If you take out Charlotte and the four guards… there’s only three left?’

No matter what it takes, train those three to be the best cadets of this batch.

Then it will be as I wish?

‘What kind of nonsense should I say…’

“Why not? Then get down on your knees here and beg me. If you beg me, I will give you back the position of equipment manager with my generous heart.”

Kneeling is not difficult.

But only when it’s a matter of life and death.

That’s not the case now.

Especially, I don’t want to kneel down in front of an old man who sneers like that.

“Hey, I thought the knights liked being fair, but it seems they don’t. The other instructors all ignored me, so they asked me to prove it with just the number of people.”

“Director, may I ask you something?”

“You? I’m fine. Do whatever you want.”

I was really annoyed and tried to yell at him, but it seems like he strangely attracted me to aggro.

For a moment, I forgot that everyone here except me was a knight.

Instructor Karlstein, who had been quiet, opened his mouth and glared at me with cold eyes.

“Being chosen by the cadets is also a skill. Instructor Adrian Floyd. You’ve had plenty of time these past few days. I don’t think it’s right to call you cowardly now when you did nothing in the meantime? ”

“That’s my situation right now…”

“That situation is also something you brought upon yourself. If you hadn’t done that, your reputation wouldn’t have fallen to this level. No, you wouldn’t have been transferred here before that either. Am I wrong?”

I have nothing to say in rebuttal.

Isn’t it possible to say that this was Adrian’s doing and not mine?

If I had my way.

Skills?

Isn’t discernment also a skill?

Princess Charlotte is among the cadets, and you fools don’t even recognize her and call her a knight!

I wanted to refute it like this, but in the end I couldn’t.

All I can do is keep my mouth shut and tremble.

‘It’s better…’

The director clearly stated that he would not touch my training policy in any way.

With this, at least the guys I was in charge of could sleep as they pleased.

‘Let’s see what I can do to those guys.’

“Okay, I’ll accept it. But please refrain from touching my training policy… my training method. You, the director, and the other instructors.”

“Okay. Do whatever you want. Hahahahaha.”

A face that seems to say, let’s see where it goes.

The other instructors seemed to have joined in and laughed at me.

Only Instructor Amy stands in the middle and keeps an eye on things.

I immediately turned around.

I walked straight towards the guys waiting in the middle of the training ground.

Then, I suddenly looked down, and today, the circuits on my left arm seemed to be glowing especially brightly.

And then suddenly the surroundings became dark as if the lights had gone out at night.

‘at las!’

It seems like the guy’s memories are starting to come back after a very long time.
