“Have you finished basic training?”

“Yes!”

“Really? Are you sure? If you lie, you die?”

“I did it!”

Everyone’s spirits are really high.

“Okay. Today, let’s start with the rabbit jump. Everyone, shoulder to shoulder!”

Roll and roll.

Let’s see how long we can hold out.

“…Ninety-nine, drainage.”

“Who said a hundred times! Who! Start over from the beginning a hundred times!”

“Black…”

“Ugh…”

“My thigh… My thigh hurts so much!”

“So who’s wrong! Can’t you see your peers having a hard time because of one person? Focus, focus! Don’t think that you’re just going to kill time, focus! Think that you’re getting stronger, and that you’ll get stronger!”

Screams are heard here and there.

Even if your basic physical strength and stamina level are different from your previous life.

If you keep rolling like this for a week without rest, every part of your body will scream.

‘I don’t know, but do you think I’d want to die?’

But the guys can’t make excuses.

Because I’m also training at a similar intensity.

I’m just trying to train my body, but from the guys’ perspective, they have nothing to say.

Because I can finish them first, faster and with a more perfect posture than those guys.

“Do you think the excuse that there is a difference between men and women will work? If it becomes an article, it’s the same. Where’s the gender?”

Maybe that’s why the guys are gritting their teeth and following along.

Of course, there are times when I reach my physical limit and just sit down, panting and crying.

I say this every time.

“How pathetic. Is this all you can do? If this is your limit, then becoming a knight is absolutely impossible.”

I was trying to be sarcastic, but then he wakes up like a ghost and joins the training.

They really can’t be the ones who don’t know how to give up.

How persistent.

‘It seems that even minor injuries will be cured in a day thanks to the potion…’

Is that really the only way?

confession?

‘If it doesn’t work, it’s a real problem…’

Rather than confessing, it might be better to play the role of a pervert instructor who is disgusting.

‘He’s not a ninja from a Japanese manga, so I doubt he trained in that field.’

If there were such spies, they would have been sent to seduce old nobles to expand their faction.

Don’t stick to me.

‘Rather than confessing, is it better to go this way…?’

Whatever it is, the first thing that comes to mind is that these guys disgust me.

“Excuse me, Instructor.”

“Something like Amber Trainee.”

“When can we get another training? Other classes have started training in weapons and shields, and even horsemanship. Lord Karlstein’s class is already recruiting individual squires. They’re going on an expedition soon.”

“So?”

“We too, quickly… Don’t you hate falling behind other instructors?”

If other guys had said it, I wouldn’t know.

Why is this guy, a spy, saying something like this?

I thought about it carefully.

Weapon training.

It’s a training with a lot of accidents.

To get a feel for real combat, you fight with real weapons and shields that are only dull in blades.

In the process, some people become disabled or die.

It is said that this is especially likely to happen for those who have difficulty obtaining a sufficient amount of high-grade potions.

This is what I heard from Instructor Amy.

‘You’re trying to kill me by faking an accident?’

If it’s horse training, the probability increases even more.

If you ask whether a guy who is fine even if he jumps from the 4th floor would die just because he fell off a horse, you are wrong.

There are a lot of animals in this neighborhood.

Besides, equestrian training isn’t just about riding a horse.

It’s fighting with weapons on horseback.

They say that every year, without exception, there are people and horses who get hurt and die.

This is what I heard from Amy.

‘Not to mention the expedition.’

Expeditions are said to mainly go to dungeons, and the name itself is dangerous.

A dungeon?

It’s funny that places like those in games exist in real life, but there’s no place where people are more likely to die.

It’s better to kill people and manipulate it into an accident.

I looked into the eyes of the spy disguised as Amber Trainee.

‘Are you planning to kill me?’

Of course, I can’t hear the answer.

It’s a dilemma.

I can’t just do physical training like I do now because it’s scary.

But my life is in danger if I do anything else.

“Amber Trainee.”

“Yes! Amber Trainee!”

“Do you think the trainees have enough physical strength?”

“I think that’s enough! Isn’t it enough to be able to run all day long!? I heard that knights don’t fight all day long!”

“Why not? If there’s a war, wouldn’t they fight all day long? While their comrades are dying fighting right next to them, Private Amber is going to rest and eat snacks?”

“That’s…”

“Physical strength is the foundation of all exercise!”

Oh, I said exercise.

“What kind of article do you think those guys who don’t even know the basics can write?”

“But, can’t you do other training while doing basic training!? You can’t just do physical training until the next exam, right? ”

That’s right.

I guess the spy is starting to get angry. I have nothing to say since he is logically refuting me.

Isn’t there a better way?

‘I’m reaching my limit anyway. So I guess I’ll just proceed with other training…’

The thing I have to think about is how to keep them from killing me.

Of course, the best way.

“I am Adrian Floyd. I have been doing rigorous physical training without resting a single day since I was young. ”

It’s a lie.

“You must know what kind of family our family is, right? Yes. Our family is the only family in the kingdom that can use the magic of conferring powers, and if our family disappears, it will be a big problem. Don’t you think so?”

The guys nodding their heads.

“So our family has not set foot in any other faction or been greedy for power. Am I wrong, Amber Trainee?”

“No! I know that too!”

“Yes. Our family’s power is so great that if we were to set our mind to it, we could destroy the balance of power in this country in an instant. To prevent that, we have maintained neutrality for a long time. ”

“Yes… but what does that have to do with talking about physical strength…”

“Just listen till the end!”

“Ah… Yes!”

“For the above reasons, do you know that there is an unspoken rule that not only His Majesty but also other nobles should not touch our family?”

“I think I heard it.”

“Yes. For example, let’s say a faction that is aiming for the next throne suddenly kills me. Then, an enraged Count Floyd will move and start taking sides. What do you think will happen then?”

“That’s…”

“The faction our family joins will just crush the other factions. Isn’t that right?”

“Is that so?”

I warned them that if they kill me, my family will turn against you and that will be the end of your faction.

So killing me was a mistake.

Well, it’s not these guys that will make that decision, it’s the nobles above them, but just in case.

‘By the way, if I die, the family won’t move, right?’

Maybe so.

It looks like Adrian is not only Count Floyd’s biological son, but also his adopted son.

Just because both of them are dead, it’s unlikely that the entire family will choose a faction.

‘Ah, my life.’

“Okay, is it over?”

“Huh?”

“So physical training is…”

“Ah, I am from a family of Buyeo-sul, but I have trained my physical strength without missing a single day. Thanks to that, I was able to rise to the position of a court teacher. Of course, I am with you in this place due to a slight misunderstanding, but anyway, physical strength is the most basic of basics.”

“Yeah…what…”

“Okay, fine! If you guys want it that much, I’ll skip the next step.”

“!?”

“Excuse me? Are we doing different training now?”

“Of course! Basic physical training is done every single day! Without missing a single day!”

Although they looked somewhat disappointed, most seemed happy that they could proceed with other training.

‘If I do it, it’s probably weapons training…’

I too was starting to need some practical training.

Angelica was amazed at how quickly she had learned, but was anxious to test how far her week-long training in swordsmanship would take her.

“Someone go find Instructor Amy and get the key to the equipment room!”

“Yes, I will go and come back!”

“Can I come with you?”

“Only one person goes! The rest of you go to the front of the power equipment room. If you wait there, I’ll bring the key!”

This is also training.

Fighting with a sword and shield is not real combat.

But in any case, it is right to fight with real weapons, not wooden swords.

‘Just don’t die. I’ll die, but…’

As long as you don’t die, that’s fine.

Because I have incredible healing abilities.

If you pour just one top-grade potion, your body will heal from wounds within a few minutes, so you don’t have to die.

“Okay, let’s go to the equipment room at a rabbit pace. Let’s do it!”

* * *

A club and shield that look fancy but are not sharp and were made for training purposes.

The armor is also very cheap.

“Using mana in mock combat is strictly prohibited. The instructor does not want you to become a fellow murderer.”

“Yes!”

“No, of course.”

They are not elementary school kids.

There seemed to be no need for further explanation or request.

Most of them are from adventuring groups or mercenaries, so they’ve probably used real weapons and maybe even killed a few people… I thought of them as ordinary cadets.

‘Come to your senses, you punk!’

I don’t know how many times this has happened.

To mistake those evil spies for my disciples, filled with a pure desire to become knights.

There is no day, but this is also a weapon.

A trained spy could use a solid iron club to instantly kill me by mana at any time.

So, be careful, be careful again.

‘I wore two sets of clothes…’

Among the costumes Adrian left behind, I chose one that had been enchanted and wore it over the top and bottom.

So, you won’t die instantly from most attacks.

There is also a crude plate armor for training purposes.

‘Whew… I have to go first here.’

Since this is your first fighting training, you will be asked to demonstrate.

You can’t give guys a choice.

“Private Ainel. Come out. I’ll show you a demonstration. The rest of you, watch closely. ”

“Me, me?”

“Stop talking and come out!”

“Why is it always only me…”

Of the four, this pink-haired guy looks the easiest on the outside.

“Where, show me what you have, trainee.”
