On the second day of cold weather training, after spending the night with Elysia hugging each other in a tent that was much more cramped and uncomfortable than the dormitory where a clean single bed was waiting for us, we were in charge of chasing the instructor and senior cadets who were acting as opposing forces in the nearby mountains.

Are you telling freshmen who have only been in society for a few months to join the military academy to catch the instructors who have been trained through years of military service and the seniors who entered the military academy first and have completed their adaptation? Not in the plains, but in the mountains that are covered in snow and difficult to walk on?

“But… if I can do it, I will be able to get good scores and choose the branch of service I want after graduation. So let’s do our best together, Elysia!”

“Yes. Showing off strength means giving up, but since we have artifacts and buffs anyway, isn’t it a given that we’ll get to the top?”

“No matter what, you have to show that you are working hard. If you just rely on artifacts and buffs and slack off and get good grades, your other classmates will look at you poorly.”

“Well, that’s true too.”

This was not the case for other classmates in the same group, but Elysia and I were able to run around in the mountains thanks to Hannah’s magic artifact and the buffs we received directly from our bodies.

Both muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory endurance have improved dramatically, to the point where, if you put your mind to it, you can achieve speeds similar to those seen when Usain Bolt sprinted on even steeper terrain… However, in the military, which emphasizes group living, If I abandoned my group members and ran far alone, I would not be received well, so I consciously slowed down my movement speed so that my group members would not fall behind.

As I moved around while carefully examining the surrounding terrain, I wondered if I should have asked Hanna to make artifacts to give to the other group members and flew the mountain together, but I quickly changed my mind.

‘No matter what secret it is, the more people share it, the harder it becomes to keep it. I’m sorry to my group members, but I’m sure it will be very annoying the day I carelessly give an artifact and then tell others or get caught by the instructors.’

The only person who can help with this problem is the female instructor whose hymen was pierced by the wooden baton wielded by Elysia, but it turns out that the instructor’s rank within the military academy is not very high.

In other words, if a situation arises where multiple instructors are questioned about the source of an artifact, we cannot ask them to help us cover it up.

My father-in-law, who can be said to be a much greater help than an instructor, is outside the military academy, so it is difficult to receive real-time help, and since I have not yet shown my human values, he will not feel the need to help me, so I cannot ask for help either. . So even though I feel sorry for my classmates, I cannot give them the artifact.

“Gasp… gasp… gasp… Oh my, it’s so hard. Aren’t you two having a hard time? I’m sure we went up the same road, but why doesn’t it seem like I’m out of breath?”

When I decided to hide behind a bush and rest for a while, a male classmate let out a sigh mixed with sweat and looked at me and Elysia alternately with curious eyes. Even though I felt my stomach tingling, I did not show it on the outside and answered with a calm face.

“We had good physical strength to begin with. I was wondering if there was a way to keep my stamina, and what I chose was to enroll in a military academy.”

“Hmm, I don’t think my physical strength is ‘a bit’ good. The only professions that allow you to have better physical strength than others are athletes or soldiers. Looking at it now, I think you would have done well even if you had chosen athletes instead of soldiers. Is there a special reason why you chose soldiers?”

“Well… I was more interested in becoming a soldier and protecting the country rather than going to the Olympics and winning shiny medals… Is this enough of an answer?”

Physical strength is an artifact, but the patriotism part is 100% sincere. I hope the other person also realizes my sincerity and briefly expresses their admiration.

“Wow… Are you serious about that? It’s amazing.”

Aside from the person who asked me the question, other group members also showed similar reactions. Anyone who does not have even the slightest sense of patriotism would not have chosen the option of going to a military academy, so everyone may have a desire for the country to some degree, but without taking too long, it is enough to answer that they are more interested in protecting their country than the glory that a medal brings. Looks like it wasn’t.

It’s not that the people who are gathered here and talking are the problem, it’s that people with an average level of patriotism have the talent to win an Olympic gold medal and receive national popularity and a huge amount of money, and the ability to become soldiers and serve their country. If I were asked to choose one out of a hundred, I would choose the first.

‘This familiar air… Even in 21st century Korea, where I was born and raised, patriotism had become a midday joke.’

These days, the military is nothing more than a Boy Scout, not an army, and there are many who argue that the salary of soldiers, which began to rise rapidly at some point, should be restored to its original state and military bonus points should be restored, but ‘in an era of ultra-low birth rate when there are no people to go to the military, it is for the sake of the country. When I say, ‘Why don’t you re-enlist and teach me more?’, they immediately respond with double insults.

You and I were both forced to be taken in because we were powerless and without support, but instead of uniting together in camaraderie, we harassed people for various reasons and fled overseas as soon as a war broke out, or if we were tied up in the military, we would shoot all the senior officers who had always treated us with disapproval. 21st century Korean society creates people who say they will kill and run away.

Even after the saying ‘If you can tolerate it, Private Yoon, and if you can’t tolerate it, Sergeant Lim’ was coined, the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea has not come to its senses and instead of arresting the absurdity of the barracks, it continues to produce people who are killed or injured even though it is not a war situation.

At that time, the German Wehrmacht also said that soldiers should not intervene in politics, but it fervently supported the NSDAP’s rearmament policy, and when it was on a roll in the early and middle stages of World War II, it was devoted to its dear Father, His Excellency the Führer, but slowly began to lose the war. Considering that an assassination attempt was made on sight, there is no problem at all, but…

‘I like the white comrades who are alive and breathing in front of me much more than the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Korea, the leader of the yellow-skinned monkeys of the Far East.’

Unlike monkeys, they do not make other people suck their genitals or brag about being ghost-slaying marines and then hit a guy with live ammunition, but only do what they have to do as soldiers.

‘If we follow this logic, we could say that Elysia, who raped me, is not qualified to be a soldier. It may have been rape at first, but now we truly like each other! ‘If there is love, it is an exception!’

The so-called rape pure love theory.

Anyway, I felt camaraderie with my classmates who I would never have seen again in my life if I had not crossed over to this world, and after taking a break, I moved forward again.

In order to test the performance of the detection device created with magic engineering artificial consciousness and find the opposing force hidden somewhere in the mountains, instead of relying on Hanna’s artifact, I hurried my steps while conscious of the square metal object hidden in my chest, and coincidentally, another group came across it. I was able to run into the opposing army that was crossing this way while avoiding the crowds.

Accordingly, I quickly hid my presence, and Elysia followed me and lowered herself, sending a signal to other comrades who were following behind to set up an ambush, and then attacked the opposing force at once and was declared alive.

A treasure goblin spitting out scores… No, perhaps it was because his entire body’s muscles were tense ahead of the opportunity to capture the senior cadet who was acting as an opposing force, but sweat, which had not been present even while running up the mountain, was running down his forehead. … As much as I was nervous, I was able to catch it easily.

“Hey~ You guys were hiding here just now too? For that matter, I didn’t feel like anyone was hiding. To be caught by a junior, and a freshman… I don’t think I have any respect for my senior.”

“Haha… No. I was just lucky.”

“Whether it is luck or anything else, appropriately utilizing everything given to you is also an ability. There are so many people in this world who can’t eat anything even if given to them. Among my classmates, there is one whose nickname is ‘Hero of the Soviet Union’…”

“Ahahaha…”

Fortunately, the senior who was caught by us was not that picky, so he cooperated without ‘daring’ to trap the senior and go down the mountain.

I am your senior, and if I had caught someone saying strange things like, “Aren’t you afraid of the future?”, you would have been tired in many ways, but as you kept your guard up and talked a lot, time went by quickly.

When we came down from the mountain, we found that there were several other groups that succeeded in capturing the opposing forces. The fact that most of the groups included wizards who knew how to use detection magic made me realize once again how useful magic is in this world.

‘If it were the original world where magic did not exist at all, then in this world where magic exists, an army that utilizes magic as best as possible would be able to win the battlefield.’

After the day’s training on the mountain was over, Elysia and I had a private time wiping the sweat off each other’s bodies with towels, avoiding the eyes of other team members.

This was the best way to maintain cleanliness during the training period, when there was no time to wash, allowing for a 100% experience of a real battlefield where there were no shower facilities with warm water.

“Thank you for your hard work today, Winter Mom.”

“But you worked hard too, Elysia.”

Under the pretext of wiping away the sweat running down Elysia’s collarbone, I took a quick peek at her cleavage, which I had seen many times during our relationship. And I thought.

‘Winter is my father’s body… I didn’t sweat a single drop for the first time, but no matter how buffed I was, I was drenched in sweat after running around in the mountains so late at night. I feel like I want to tell them to wash themselves clean with clean magic…’

I don’t want to leave my dad in a dirty state, but unlike anti-cold artifacts or magic engineering detection devices that are not noticeable if you hide them well, if you use clean magic in a dirty situation where everyone’s body is covered in dust and dirt, it will be obvious right away. . Even if it’s unfortunate and unpleasant, I have no choice but to go and wash properly after the training is over.

My wife and I felt that our love deepened as much as we sweated together, and we spent that night together in a two-person tent.
