Chapter Index

    Dying~ Dying~

    “Everyone, wake up!!”

    The morning of the third day of training camp began with the bell ringing.

    “Keueunnnn… Down!!”

    “… Wow.”

    Ronica suddenly wakes up.

    Fiona tosses and turns.

    The training center wakes up at 6:30 and gathers at the training center by 40 minutes.

    But, Fiona made a noise like a whoop and hid under the blanket.

    fault.

    Since I had nothing else to do, I leapt to his bed.

    Lifting the blanket and having a light night.

    width. width!

    I can feel the soft cheeks.

    “Hehe?… Hehe… … .”

    “Fiona. The nigger wake up! Let’s get ready quickly and gather outside.”

    “… Yes!”

    Today is the first day of training.

    The two quickly washed their faces and ran outside.

    “One, two, three, four!!”

    After lining up at the training center, all the cadets gathered together and started doing gymnastics and running, just like yesterday.

    “… Hehe… … .”

    It was a light warm-up for Ronica, but Fiona, the wizard, was out of breath.

    It seemed like he didn’t do much physical training.

    So after a while.

    “Attention everyone. From now on, for joint guidance training, we will be divided into three groups: A, B, and C.”

    After the gymnastics, the 32nd group stayed at the training center and heard the general training policy.

    At Evelyn Training Center, there are three main types of training.

    Co-led education.

    Guidance from the instructor in charge.

    Training for actual combat.

    First, in joint guidance training, all people, regardless of specialties, are divided into groups and take the same training.

    Basically swordsmanship, magic, and culture.

    And you learn things like the characteristics of monsters and the virtues of heroes.

    The reason why swordsmanship and magic are included in group training is to build basic knowledge and experience so that you do not panic when encountering enemies with other specialties.

    Paaah~

    “… It’s Daegil.”

    “Really? Looks like we’ll be in the same group!”

    When told that the group would be divided, Fiona made a fortune telling. It was a golden card with two children holding hands and dancing.

    As expected, the two ended up in the same group A.

    Group A swordsmanship.

    Group B magic.

    Group C monster ecology.

    The first day goes like this, and the next day, Group A takes magic education.

    “An instructor in charge will be assigned in the afternoon, so please gather here on time after you finish eating.”

    The second training is under the guidance of the instructor in charge.

    Like a teacher and a student, this is an education system that only has a training center, and each instructor is assigned between 0 and 10 people to personally guide them in their shortcomings.

    Here, the growth of the cadets becomes the instructor’s qualifications, so there is no choice but to teach hard.

    Lastly, there is training left to prepare for the actual battle… .

    They say this will not be implemented during the two week adaptation period, so there is no need to think about it now.

    In short.

    Morning joint guidance training.

    Afternoon instructor guidance.

    Evening self-training time.

    Training for actual combat begins in two weeks.

    “I will guide you to the building, so everyone line up and follow me.”

    Group A followed the instructor’s instructions and entered the large classroom in the building on the left.

    A podium placed on top of a podium.

    It is an unusual structure with seats arranged in steps surrounding a semicircle.

    “If you stay here, the swordsman instructor will be here soon, so please take your seats and wait.”

    It was a place to learn swordsmanship theory from now on.

    “Wow. This is my first time seeing an interior with this structure.”

    “Yes.”

    The two sat comfortably in the third row.

    After waiting for a few minutes, a middle-aged man with dark brown hair came to the podium.

    “Everyone be quiet. I am instructor Richard Jang, who is in charge of joint training in swordsmanship for the 32nd cadets.”

    A strict impression.

    Just by looking at it, you can see the aura of a strong man.

    ‘It’s a 6-star level.’

    Richard Jean.

    The best prosecutor at the training camp.

    For reference, according to Tiana’s information, Richard Jean is an instructor who is 60% neutral.

    There will be no particular problem with education.

    I sat down at Ronika’s desk.

    The swordsmanship here will be quite different from what I learned physically at the tower, so there would be no harm in learning it myself.

    “Hehe.”

    Kuuk. Phew.

    Ronika massages her neck.

    Softly~

    With a pleasant feeling, I lay down on the desk and listened to the instructor’s lecture.

    “Because it is joint education, we will teach from the basics tailored to wizards and other special students. You will learn Leonis Kingdom-style swordsmanship from the textbook.”

    To conclude, it was disappointing.

    The basics are important.

    The sword has a certain attitude.

    It really taught me the basics.

    Kingdom-style swordsmanship is also nothing short of ordinary.

    For those who have been learning the sword from the beginning, it is like reading a sutra.

    Is that why?

    One prosecutor nodded his head sleepily.

    widely!

    The instructor also noticed this and slammed the podium.

    “Okay. From the first day, I was just talking boringly without any assistant instructor. Everyone, grab your wooden sword and come out. You need to roll your body first.”

    “I… Instructor. I heard there will only be theory training this morning?… … .”

    “Cadet. If you don’t want to be disciplined for having a bad attitude, avoid using the word ‘yo’. This is not an academy, but a training center. And who said we only teach theory? Come out and gather!!”

    “Yes!!”

    Now that I think about it, I remember seeing this information on Venus.

    The instructor said whatever he wanted.

    Theory education is canceled.

    *

    Training center in front of the building.

    “Twenty-one!!… Twenty two depressed!!!… … .”

    “Raise your voice!! Everything starts with the foundation. Don’t neglect developing your strength and stamina. Those who are distracted will be added to the number.”

    Instructor Richard first gave the cadets general physical training.

    It was easy for those who had originally trained physically, but wizards and other special talents had to sweat and pant.

    “… Hehe.”

    Look at me.

    Fiona’s face is distorted.

    “Negro. Can you add some weight?”

    Of course, it wasn’t even a warm-up for Ronica, who trained based on breaking through limits. Should I ask them to use weight amplification magic?

    I secretly cast magic to increase the weight so that mana would not leak.

    “Heh. Just right.”

    About 40 minutes like that.

    Instructor Richard approached holding a wooden sword.

    “Stop!! Those who are special prosecutors can come to the front, and those who are new or not confident can leave later and take a rest. You are next.”

    Instructor’s direct sparring.

    Other special students watch the scene.

    It’s not a bad education.

    Because it is more focused on learning with your body or eyes rather than boringly listening with your ears.

    So about 20 cadets came forward.

    “Sparring with the instructor!… ”

    The rules are simple.

    The use of aurors is prohibited.

    If you miss the sword, you lose.

    If you get hit by a sword or fall down, you lose.

    Also, since there may be an unfortunate incident if all gather together, 4 people spar with the instructor.

    A total of five groups.

    Ronica was fourth in line.

    “Anyone who allows an attack will be given 1 store point. Attack me with all your might.”

    Here, the store is said to be a compensation system for the training center where you can later obtain a recommendation letter for the warriors or various field training rights.

    After giving that explanation, the instructor took a stance.

    “Come now!!”

    “Uaaaa!!”

    match! Pak!!

    Sword and sword clash.

    The trainees here are all mana swordsmen who used to have a hand in something.

    Average 2-star level.

    Those guys desperately rushed to surround him.

    However, it did not work for the instructor.

    The instructor simply destroyed Geomro, throwing his sword away or lightly pushing him down. None of the four cadets succeeded in the attack.

    “Is this all? Come next time.”

    And the second order.

    “Ugh!!… .”

    “Fast, fast… .”

    There is nothing to explain.

    Likewise, everyone rolled on the ground.

    Wow~

    “Ugh!?”

    Same goes for the third.

    “I heard that there are many outstanding cadets in this class, but I overestimated you. Is this all there is to it!!”

    Is he really a 6-star swordsman?

    If you add her pure sword skills, she is probably a strong person that even Erica would be difficult to deal with.

    Of course there is no way you can win.

    Inspection cadets disassembling.

    The spectators looked at it in amazement.

    “Ugh… I couldn’t react at all.”

    “Amazing. How can they move so simply and quickly?”

    Was this what you were aiming for?

    The will of the trainees burned brightly.

    “Come out next time.”

    So Ronica’s turn came.

    At this point I took refuge on Fiona’s shoulder as I was afraid of being disturbed.

    “… Heh.”

    Fiona made a strange noise for a moment, but there was no sign of any objection.

    They supported me that way.

    “Kang!”

    “Yes. I will do my best and come back.”

    “Ronika… Fighting.”

    “Yes!”

    1 star 1 person.

    2 2 stars.

    1 3-star Ronica.

    As it is a training camp, everyone tests mana.

    But I couldn’t find anyone who would be of great help.

    How will the disciple move?

    “If you’re ready, go for it.”

    “Uaaap!!”

    One cadet ran in first. They were aware that the previous group had hesitated and then rushed in, so they moved quickly.

    I guess they were trying to exploit a loophole in their own way.

    “Good momentum. But it was very obvious that I was frozen even before I ran out.”

    Perfect!

    “Ugh!!”

    The instructor lightly struck down the wooden sword.

    However, thanks to the child who rushed in first, it became easier for others to dig in.

    One of them turned back and surrounded him, while the other passed by the child who ran ahead and swung his sword to the side.

    “It was good that I didn’t miss the opportunity and come in. But are you nervous? The movement is big.”

    chin!

    “Ugh?”

    I simply kicked his wrist with his foot. The cadet’s wooden sword easily escaped his grasp.

    1 person eliminated.

    It was at that moment that Ronica ran out.

    Leap in a straight line without any enthusiasm.

    Quick stab.

    “Hoo. Wind?”

    Swish!

    The instructor, who always parried a wooden sword or blocked an attack, twisted his body to avoid it for the first time.

    However, it was not enough to back down.

    But just avoiding it was enough.

    It is advantageous to continue the ceremony.

    Moreover, Ronica was aware of the child behind the instructor. The moment that child attacked, aiming for a loophole.

    “Hoo-eup!!”

    Ronica swung her sword diagonally to limit her actions as much as possible.

    “Oh my.”

    The instructor laid back due to attacks coming from both front and back at the same time. He then turned his body and kicked the child who was running from behind, landing safely on the ground.

    2 people eliminated.

    “This may be the first time, but it’s a joint attack like this… .”

    The instructor looked down at Ronika for a moment.

    Of course, it was not an agreed-upon joint attack. Ronica followed up with a sword strike, conscious of the cadet who had turned around.

    In other words, they understood the flow and attacked.

    The instructor saw right through it.

    “And it’s the wind…? Since you grazed the clothes, I will give you a store. But it’s still not enough.”

    fault!!

    This time, the instructor moved first.

    “Huh!”

    Very fast speed.

    He grabbed the shoulder of the child who initially rushed at him but then backed away, and lightly knocked him down with his foot.

    3 people eliminated.

    At this time, Ronica was at the end of the child’s fall. Naturally, Ronica moved to the side to avoid the child.

    hook!!

    The instructor’s wooden sword pierced Ronica.

    “Ugh!?”

    Percussion!!

    I managed to block it with my unstable posture, but it didn’t end there.

    Whoop!!

    The instructor’s second attack stopped at the neck.

    Ronika was also eliminated.

    “That’s it. What’s your name?”

    “Ugh… Bye, this is Ronica.”

    “Your skills are decent and your judgment skills are good. I’ll make a note of the store, so go in.”

    It was the first compliment that Instructor Richard gave to the 32nd class.

    of course.

    Because he’s my student!

    “Yes! Thank you.”

    After saying hello, Ronica returned to her seat.

    “Ronika… It was cool.”

    “Hehe. Thank you.”

    fault.

    I went back to his shoulder. Ronica then rubbed her cheeks and said, “Did I do well?” He let out a lively laugh.

    Praise makes a disciple dance.

    So, I got up from my shoulders and onto my feet and patted the guy’s head.

    “Kya hot~”

    however… .

    Several cadets are looking at this place.

    Is it jealousy toward Ronica, who stands out alone? It was not a friendly look.

    I opened my eyes and overheard their whispers.

    “What is this? Is this your first time seeing him?”

    “Like a commoner?”

    “I’m in a bad mood.”

    Those who at first glance appear to be the sons of nobles. It seems like Ronica is an eyesore.

    Funnily enough, they only got 1 star.

    Perhaps they are people who entered the church through corruption.

    ‘Did you say that 30% of the instructors were rotten? .’

    In that case, it would be roughly correct to say that about 30% of the cadets were also rotten.

    What is this… .

    It’s not that bad so I’m not worried.

    Ronica’s growth experience won’t be enough.

    It would be nice to have a more moderately strong enemy or competitor… While I was thinking that, the instructor began the final sparring.

    “Now it’s your last turn. Everyone, fight with all your might.”

    After Ronica’s turn, it was the 5th turn.

    Instructor Richard held a wooden sword with one hand behind his back and provoked the children in front of him.

    “Haam~”

    At this time, a blonde man came out yawning.

    2nd place in the labyrinth test.

    He was also in Group A like Ronica.

    “Jae is… .”

    Ronika also kept an eye on him.

    It was impossible to not know because it left such a strong impression on me from the first test.

    “Lower pressure!!”

    “Don’t swing recklessly, aim for the vital spot.”

    The sparring began and the cadets rushed in.

    However, the blond boy stayed behind and watched his teammate fall to the ground.

    So 1 minute later.

    “… Don’t you rush?”

    “Because it’s disturbing. I’m going to rush now.”

    Only then did the guy who was left alone raise his sword and take a stance.

    “Do not use the character ‘yo’.”

    “Yes~”

    “Then, show your skills. I hope it’s worth as much as your words.”

    “Then let’s go.”

    fault!!

    A quick yet heavy blow.

    The weight of his sword was clearly placed on it. So much so that he was unharmed even after colliding head-on with the instructor who had hit him with his sword.

    ‘You made good use of the heavy sword.’

    Percussion!!

    However, the instructor slipped his sword and aimed for his neck.

    Hwaak-

    hook! widely!!

    The boy swung his sword while dodging by tilting his neck, and the instructor flexibly raised his legs straight and blocked the sword strike with the tips of his toes.

    A defense that seems to have already been expected.

    Instructor Richard is no different from a veteran.

    He pierced the loophole in the heavy sword, pushed away the wooden sword with his foot, and rotated his body.

    “It’s over.”

    The sword stopped next to the boy’s neck.

    It was a one-sided match.

    “Huh… As expected, the instructor is strong. I didn’t know there would be this much of a difference.”

    “What is your name?”

    “Astradic. No, it’s Astradic.”

    “It was a great skill. However, excessive confidence can be toxic. If possible, learn how to cooperate with others or take advantage of those around you. Just like Cadet Ronica over there.”

    “Hmm?… .”

    The instructor suddenly tripped over Ronica and fell.

    Thanks to this, the guy identified as Astradik stared at Ronika.

    “ugh. It’s burdensome.”

    Ronica slightly turned her head.

    On the other hand, Astradik grinned.

    “Those words… I will keep this in mind.”

    Why?

    I have a feeling this will become a nuisance.

    Afterwards, the instructor sparred with other special students and demonstrated kingdom swordsmanship.

    The cadets imitated the movements.

    Until the sun rises in the sky.

    “Ronika… .”

    Meanwhile, Astradik looked at Ronika and muttered meaningfully.

    That’s how the first training ended.
