“I’m slowly being bitten by the spirit…”

“I won’t just eat this for a month.”

The trainees muttered as they chewed the dry chicken breast. As it was a Geumuiwi canteen, the meals served in the cafeteria tasted good for a large meal, but the portions were small for soldiers who were very active to eat satisfactorily, and the meat side dishes were also insufficient.

On the other hand, the meal that Ho Cheon-an promoted was generous enough to last, and although it was limited to chicken breast and eggs, I liked it because I could eat as much as I wanted…

Now it felt like a fishy smell was coming from the chicken breast and eggs.

“Hey, they give me as much food as a pebble, but I have no strength at all.”

After turning three Tugyobi monuments into stars in the sky today, Gwang Jae-ryeon grumbled after receiving a firm warning from Ho Cheon-an. The term ‘babsim’ did not exist for nothing. This is because you need to consume a large amount of carbohydrates to immediately exert strength.

“Anyway, I’m worried about the afternoon test… I don’t think those who fail will just pass due to the instructor’s personality.”

The trainees looked at Jo Gap-deok and Jae Sang-hae with envious eyes. Neither of us were at a level where we could say we learned cancer techniques somewhere, but we were still much better than complete beginners. Jo Gap-deok recalled his predecessor who had half-forcibly taught him secret martial arts and expressed his sincere gratitude, while Jae Sang-hae straightened his shoulders and boasted.

“Hehe, Bidojutsu was a skill worth learning.”

“Tsk, anyway, I can’t say anything.”

Jo Ga-ju looked at Jae Sang-hae, whose spirit had revived.

‘The training instructor seems excited about the introduction of the performance system.’

Jaesanghae’s talent is outstanding. Jo Ga-ju acknowledged that much. There was no mistake in the slogan for three days. It seemed like he had trained in the secret arts, and even taking that into account, his level of secret arts was rising surprisingly quickly.

But it’s still a child.

He appears to be overconfident rather than careful to look at the situation before and after. I didn’t act like that because re-injury was foolish. Is it because they are foolish that people born with good backgrounds end up with the personality of An Ha-mu-in? no. This was because there was no consequence for behaving indiscriminately, so such behavior became ‘natural’.

Having lived like that all my life, I don’t think I would be able to change that habit even if I tasted spicy food from Ho Cheon-an once.

Jo Ga-ju thought of Ho Cheon-an. Will Ho Cheon-an acknowledge Jaesanghae to the extent that Jaesanghae shows rapid growth as a talent?

I don’t think so, but you never know.

As Jo Ga-ju was anticipating what would happen during the afternoon throwing skills evaluation, a sound was heard announcing the start of the afternoon routine.

“Let’s go out! I will definitely show you my skills today!”

The afternoon training began with a confident resurgence.

Surprisingly, those who passed the training and those who failed were split in half.

“You got it right!”

“Sung Yeol-hwi stops liking the trainee and returns to his original position.”

“Evil!”

“Good. Once the evaluation is over. If I were to make an evaluation, first of all, I would say that trainees Cho Gap-deok and Jaesang-hae have the basic skills. I think the rest of the successful students were Unchilgisam.”

“Evil!”

Jaesanghae’s answer was especially loud. Ho Cheon-an continued his story lightly.

“First, we will set the next training goals for the successful students. Trainees Cho Gap-deok and Jae-sang-hae will get at least three out of five correct in the next exam. And you have to throw it within 1 second after I give the slogan.”

Jo Gap-deok and Jae Sang-hae were dazed. No… the difficulty level suddenly increases like this?

“Answer?”

“Evil!”

“Evil!”

“Trainees who have passed now will be expected to get two out of five questions correct under the same conditions as now.”

“Evil!”

“The remaining trainees train with this instructor until they pass.”

“Aaagh!”

“ Passed trainees will proceed with independent training. You might get hurt by blind memorization, so stay away.”

“Evil!”

As soon as he got far away from Ho Cheon-an, Jae Sang-hae started complaining.

“Does this make sense! If you pass the test, your rights must be guaranteed! I achieved results, but they discriminated against me because I learned the skills from outside!”

“Whew…I’m dying.”

“Kwikkk, I recognized you from the moment you showed off.”

“The training instructor knows how to train!”

“Hahahaha. I said let’s do some martial arts training before we hear the instructor’s bad words.”

Trainees who are complaining. And Jo Gap-deok sighs, sets a target, and picks up the training fee. And seeing Jo Gap-deok like that, Jae Sang-hae was shocked.

“No, if you’re going to practice Bido from now on, there’s no point in passing the exam. At least spend your time playing, or even practicing martial arts.”

“I really want to do that, but I have to work diligently from now on to pass the next exam.”

Jo Gap-deok frowned and gestured with his chin.

“Aaagh!”

“Ugh!”

Jaesanghae looked at his classmate rolling on the floor while PR was training and swallowed his dry saliva.

“Isn’t this the only way we are at a loss!”

“What can I do? Because the instructor said so…”

Jo Ga-ju paid attention to Jae Sang-hae and Jo Gap-deok’s bickering and grabbed the sword. I couldn’t hold a sword during the waiting period at the accommodation, and I didn’t even have the energy left to practice swordsmanship after I started training with Ho Cheon-an.

It was truly the first time in a long time that I had practiced swordsmanship, so Jo Ga-ju erased distracting thoughts and checked his swordsmanship.

Jo Ga-ju, who solved the basics of the swordsmanship he had learned about three times, came to a conclusion.

‘You’ve regressed.’

Ho Cheon-an’s training affected his physical condition. As new training was added to the body, which had been tuned through repeated training over a long period of time, changes began to occur in the body. Jo Ga-ju frowned. It was unknown what kind of results Hocheonan’s training would produce, but perhaps one month was too short a period of time.

With that in mind, Jo Ga-ju looked around the parade ground.

Other instructors were also conducting training at the parade ground. It’s like training. Each person practices his or her own training and occasionally points out any areas that are lacking.

sometimes. No, often Twelve-year-old PR would look sideways at the training and make a mockery of it. Jo Ga-ju frowned for a moment at the fact that she was looked down on, but…

“Jogaju.”

Thanks to the sudden voice of Ho Cheon-an and the object being held out, I immediately came to my senses. Jo Ga-ju opened his eyes wide as he looked at the object Ho Cheon-an held out.

window.

“This is…”

“Why not try it? Trainee Jo Ga-ju.”

“It is true that I was interested in spears, but my main weapon is a sword. It is unreasonable to train one’s spear in front of such an important threshold as the screening test for Jinui.”

“I agree.”

Jo Ga-joo couldn’t believe her ears as she spoke while worrying about what to do if Ho Cheon-an pressured Chang.

Zhao Jiazhu looked into Hu Tianan’s eyes. Although he was training more intensely and viciously than anyone else, and his eyes were full of madness and darkness, Ho Cheon-an did not reveal any personal emotions over the past three days. Even though there was a flash of madness in his eyes, he did not let out those emotions and focused entirely on training.

Since he is a human being, he would accidentally let out his emotions by moving his hand or swearing, but Ho Cheon-an only expresses his emotions with his eyes. He never acted outside of the framework he set for himself.

Even though it was a bizarre principle, Jo Ga-ju felt a sense of trust in Ho Cheon-an, who strictly adhered to his principles… Recommending something that could result in failure in the Geumui Commission exam?

“Trainee Jo Ga-ju, did you consider your body to be very well-trained?”

“I think I have taken care of it well in my own way.”

“Yes. I tried. Efforts to keep from breaking down.”

Efforts to keep from breaking down. Jo Ji-ju was speechless at Ho Cheon-an’s words. After reaching the peak, Zhao Jiazhu felt a number of obstacles. Therefore, under the pretext of preparing for the test of Geumui, I tried my hand at other weapons.

“Jo Ga-ju’s sincerity can be clearly felt even by instructors who have only seen him for a few days. It must have taken a lot of effort to acquire the body and swordsmanship that it has today. But sincerity alone cannot solve everything.”

Jo Ga-ju opened his eyes wide. An old memory of working silently for an evil boss who regarded him as a thorn in his eyes came to mind. It was not uncommon for achievements to be taken away or tasks passed on to her, but Jo Ga-ju endured them in silence and worked. It was because I thought that if I built it up like this, one day I would have the opportunity to put it right.

But Jo Jia-ju had no chance. This was because a soldier who could not tolerate his superior’s evil behavior personally went to the governor with a letter of appeal.

The governor was very angry, and the sentence was immediately executed due to his anger, but the side effects were also considerable.

As a result of the soldier’s actions, victims also came one after another. Those who had no choice but to turn a blind eye or bow down to the brutality of their superiors could also be said to have committed a crime, but they were punished excessively compared to the nature of their crime, and the unit was almost disbanded.

The reason Jo Ga-ju was recommended to the Jinui Commission was because the superior of the new unit judged that it would be difficult for Jo Ga-ju to succeed under the current governor and recommended him to advance to the Jinui Commission.

“Until now, trainee Jo Ga-ju has come this far with sincerity as her motto. However, Trainee Jo Ga-ju. Has the trainee ever felt a wall?”

“It is…”

“Is there a reason why you need to become a member of the Gold Council right now? If there is such a reason, I will respect Trainee Jo Ga-ju. But if not, if you want to break the wall and rise higher, why not break the frame that surrounds you?”

Break the mold. Suddenly, Jo Ga-ju had this thought. Perhaps the reason he was quietly doing his job under an evil boss was because he was afraid of breaking the frame that surrounded him. Could it be that the solid framework built with sincerity and effort…was too much of a waste?

Even though I could only move forward by destroying this, I guess I couldn’t muster up that courage.

“Jo Gaju trainees have no need to be afraid.”

Ho Cheon-an spoke as if he had seen through his heart.

“Didn’t you say you were thinking of picking up a spear? If so, now is the perfect time. Trainee Jo Ga-ju is currently a trainee. What happens if you use a spear instead of the familiar sword and your power decreases? Aren’t you a light-hearted trainee who doesn’t have any obligations as a military commander?”

“….”

“A bird that flaps its wings for the first time jumps off the hill and flaps its wings. If you don’t succeed in flying, it’s just a fall. However, only by falling like that, suffering pain, getting hurt, and flapping your wings can you learn how to fly. If you just want to stay on the hill of passing the Gold Medical Commission right now, I will respect that. But if you want to fly…”

Ho Tian-an raised his spear and held it out in front of Zhao Jiazhu.

“How about giving it a try?”

Jo Ga-ju said, holding the spear as if possessed.

“Evil!”
