“Don’t say anything strange, but talk in detail. “What do you do at a training center that only graduates can go to?”

“It’s not a big deal, but I heard that they would call their seniors directly and get advice before enlisting. It’s like a lecture. I also get questions. Other than that, I heard that they just let the kids play. “Eat something delicious.”

Vine answered my question instead of the other children.

Listening to a senior’s lecture and playing with the kids?

Then, I thought that the practice that the academy was sending me was not an event that I was familiar with.

“It’s not that big of a deal. “I’m not forcing you to go, so why did you even think of going to that place?”

“Eck, do you really like it when we suffer? Since I’m about to graduate, I need to rest more. “There are a lot of hardships ahead.”

“Does the boss want us to work hard even during vacation?”

The children look at me with suspicion.

“however?”

“Wow, did you have so much fun teasing us? “It’s too much!”

“It seems like he secretly enjoys seeing us suffer.”

They catch live people, these things?

“It’s not that I’m happy that you guys are having a hard time, I’m just saying that if you train now, you’ll have less trouble later.”

“Ah~ I can’t believe it!”

“Maybe the reason I asked what we do during vacation was because I was curious about how hard it is for us?”

At the end, Baine made a sharp point, and the kids booed at me.

“Boo!!”

“We also want to rest comfortably during vacation!”

I had nothing to say because I thought it was true that I was only thinking about making the kids run around.

And even though I heard the children’s protests, my thoughts still remained the same.

“How long is the vacation, and are you planning on taking all that time off?”

Doesn’t it make no sense to have such optimistic thoughts even though we will have to go into contaminated areas and clean them up in the future?

If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have accepted my offer.

The kids grew up suddenly, and I was worried that they might have increased their pride through Monster Wave.

“There are times when we want to rest too! “I’m about to enlist, so you want me to spend all my vacation training?”

Actually, I know their feelings well.

If it were me, I would have punched anyone who told me to exercise in advance in preparation for enlisting at this time.

Or did you treat me like a crazy person?

Still, I had no choice but to say things that my children would not like.

“Do you not regret this time?”

Even if it is a world with the same background as in the game, it does not mean that there is no way to grow without a character scenario like an SSR character.

‘If you keep trying, you might be able to grow.’

This was something you couldn’t know until you tried it.

But what have been the results when raising children according to the system in the game so far?

Didn’t it produce overwhelming results?

‘Who can say how much growth can be achieved through personal effort?’

When Rebecca was undergoing rehabilitation training, it took a whopping 6 years to regain her original skills.

When you think back on the past 6 years, can’t you imagine how much patience and effort went into it?

Of course, the children are not injured, but if something they enjoyed suddenly disappears, it will feel much slower and slower.

‘It’s okay because Rebecca has experience with rehabilitation training, but the children have no such experience at all.’

I was able to achieve overwhelming growth in a short period of time because I used the information I knew from the game to grow. If I hadn’t used the knowledge I had in the game, my current growth would not have been possible.

It seemed like it was time to let children know that they were slowly returning to their normal growth rate.

‘We are close to the end of growth.’

I’m very excited to see what stats it will have when completed.

For the children, it may be a time of regret, but for me, it is a time when I will finally feel the sense of accomplishment that I have raised all my children.

And since I really wanted to raise it well, I didn’t want to miss the time when the event was taking place by taking a break.

The loss you will incur if you miss this period is impossible even if you try to recover it later.

“I completely understand your desire to have fun. No, I think it’s amazing beyond understanding.”

It’s a time when you want to play for a while.

Even I wouldn’t look kindly on someone if I said something like this in the current situation.

“Ugh… ! “Why do I suddenly get skinny?”

Even though Shine said that, the corners of his mouth were raised.

It seemed like it felt good to be praised.

“I also know that I am doing well by holding back on everything I want to do and play and training regularly.”

“Of course, just because we were going to play, it didn’t mean we weren’t going to train at all.”

“that’s right! “I need to train.”

“I really didn’t mean to not do it. I guess everyone will train on their own after a little rest?”

The problem is that what I want is not the level of training I normally do.

“I might want to have some fun during this time. “I’m enlisting soon, so considering the hardships I’ll have to endure in the future, I probably thought it was right to have fun now.”

“But from what I hear you say, I don’t think you’re saying let’s have fun.”

Baine keenly sensed the hidden meaning of my words.

“okay. “I know how you all feel, but I still want you to focus on training rather than playing during this vacation.”

“Is there any reason why we need to do that?”

Fran just happened to ask a timely question.

I nodded and explained.

“Yes, as you know, you are all growing up right now. But that doesn’t mean it lasts forever. Once you graduate from the academy, your growth rate will inevitably slow down. That’s why. “Because this time is so precious to you.”

“Huh?”

“Growth is over?”

The children each asked questions, as if they could not sit still and listen to the words that growth was over.

“I will continue to train even if I enlist, so why do you say my growth has stopped?”

“That’s right, I will continue training even after graduating from the academy.”

No one likes to be told that growing up is over.

Shine, in particular, suffered for a long time due to not being able to grow from Class B, and had a hard time crying because he had secretly cried.

“Yes, if you train consistently, you will grow. However, it will be much lower than the growth that can be achieved with simple efforts like now.”

“!!!”

The kids swallow their saliva at my words.

They know very well that their growth was achieved through my intervention, so they will not be able to listen to my words in vain.

“Did you learn that through your abilities? “You’re not just saying this for no reason, are you?”

“of course.”

The children’s expressions became gloomy.

Isn’t it said that taking something away after giving something is the most shameful thing to do?

“That’s why you told me to train even during vacation.”

“It was natural that I would be separated from my uncle after graduating from the academy, but I didn’t think about it.”

These children have already learned the sweet taste of growth through me.

Will these children be satisfied when they return to normal growth?

“How much does it fall?”

“Well, that’s fine. “Just as your physical growth stops as you become an adult, would you say that your skills increase similarly?”

“Ahh! “That’s a very serious thing!!”

Shine is pulling out his hair, as if he has no idea what I’m saying.

“Everyone calm down. It’s not your fault. Rather, we should have anticipated and prepared for this day to come.”

Fortunately, Baine calmly awakened the children’s spirits.

“Vine is right, now that I think about it, I didn’t realize that we were so precious. “This can’t last forever.”

“It was completely in a flower field.”

“It’s been special so far, and things will return to normal from now on, so you shouldn’t be disappointed.”

“I’m going back to normal, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get used to it.”

“Still, I have to adapt. “We have been growing abnormally stronger.”

Fran and Bain were gently comforting the grieving children.

“If you enlist, won’t you be able to see your boss as often as you do now?”

Ariando timidly grabbed my collar and asked.

“If you guys enlist, I’m going to provide support to the unit, right? “If the country’s money is spent, there will be a lot of interference in the operation of the unit, and I don’t like that.”

The children had to focus solely on cleaning up the contaminated area.

The children’s faces brightened at my answer.

“Okay then. “I will train hard during vacation!”

“I think it would be good if we trained separately. “It’s good to work with each other.”

“That’s right! “Then I have to say I won’t go to the academy practice.”

It may be possible to keep a tight grip on graduates who are about to enlist and bring them to their senses, but the academy seemed to think that there was no reason to be so hard on graduates who were about to go through hard times.

Instead, it seemed like they were trying to maintain tension by inviting a senior who graduated from the academy and was an excellent soldier to listen to the lecture.

Personally, I think this is a good method.

However, it is unnecessary for these children.

“It might not be a bad thing to listen to a lecture given by a senior, but even that senior probably hasn’t experienced Monster Wave.”

“So, maybe we can be better in terms of experience?”

“yes. Besides, you have to go into a contaminated area, so what’s the point of taking advice from someone who has no such experience?”

It is an experience that no one has ever had.

Only these children will stand at the forefront and pioneer the path, and countless others will follow in their footsteps.

“What you need now is practice rather than advice.”

“They tell us to experience real combat, but the truth is we can’t do it on our own even if we want to.”

“If you guys promise to train hard even during vacation, I’ll prepare for that.”

Actually, I said I would prepare, but it would only be possible with a lot of help from Thalia.

And it was good for her too.

Ordinary people would think that the nobles would welcome Thalia with open arms if she said she would create a unit to clean up contaminated areas.

‘But it wasn’t.’

Perhaps it was opposition for the sake of opposition.

As Talia resolved the monster wave, her influence in politics grew, and the nobles who disapproved of this criticized Talia’s plan to purify it.

“Actually, I think you’ll need some specific achievements in order to create the unit you will enlist in.”

“Performance? Why is that suddenly?”

The kids tilt their heads.
