There was a lot of exercise equipment placed on the parade ground.

One of them was Babel.

Don’t you usually do push-ups?

“How do you hear that…?”

Henry blinks and stares blankly at the huge barbell.

It’s as absurd as the reaction.

It doesn’t matter to me, but is it possible for a woman to lift that ugly thing?

Now I see that both women look quite nervous.

“First, start running in groups of ten. To be able to complete ten laps of the parade ground in 9 minutes. The following is disqualification.”

···.

9 minutes?

“What is the perimeter of the parade ground?”

Director Yang Yang glanced at me and then looked away.

“It is 1 rubit. 6 rubits for 6 laps, 9 minutes is average.”

it’s crazy.

Running 3km in 9 minutes is average?

If you calculate it…

You have to run for 9 minutes without stopping at just 20 km/h?

This is no different from asking someone to do anaerobic exercise for 9 minutes!

“Why do you think theory tests are advantageous for humans?”

Director Yang Sang snorted.

“After today, you will realize why you can’t find human knights these days.”

Director Yang Yang turned his gaze away from me.

I can’t complain about anything.

Aren’t arrows attacking people on the battlefield?

“Uh, what should I do…!”

Henry jumps.

This is absurd. It’s really absurd.

“Apprentice drivers who have completed all six laps must stand in front of me in order. Ten people take the test. Regardless of gender, stand first. Let the rest rest comfortably.”

When people were told to rest, they comfortably went to the shaded area and lay down.

Let’s take a look at how great the talented people of Pangea who gathered to become knights are.

Director Yang Yang turns around and frowns.

“I have a watch.”

“You need a watch with a second hand.”

“Yes.”

“Throw it.”

Are you doing this on purpose?

When I run up to him at a throwing speed and hand him the watch, the head of training is impressed.

“If you have to throw it, throw it. Because it feels like I’m taking a bribe.”

It was a look of genuine reluctance.

“···Okay.”

I was so used to the absurdity of the Korean military that I couldn’t get used to the ‘ordinary’ military.

“I will be careful from next time.”

Since it was not a professional measuring second hand watch, running was done in units such as 5 minutes and 0 seconds or 10 minutes and 0 seconds.

The results were quite surprising.

Literally 9 minutes was average.

The best racer that came in right now even clocked 6 minutes and 30 seconds.

‘How can you run faster than Usain Bolt?’

As a human being, even if you sprint six laps, you wouldn’t be able to break that record.

She sprinkled water on herself and jumped out, panting, then looked over and smiled mischievously.

It was clear that he had already been filmed because of his body odor.

‘···If I want to be elected as chief, I have to surpass that record, right?’

No one could surpass Hosott’s running speed.

No one.

“What should I do…?”

“Stop whining. If you can’t make it past 9 minutes, you become a soldier. Why are you talking so much?”

Susan sarcastically glanced at Henry.

“Are you confident?”

“What about you?”

Jean’s eyes were overflowing with confidence.

Because he is an acquaintance of mine, he has received the blessing of Venus.

“Well.”

I can’t read Isabel’s eyes, so I don’t know what she’s thinking.

However, it is clear that that record is a wall that the average person can never break through.

And surprisingly, Terup, who gets very hot, failed quite a few times in the test.

After all, Terup is not suited to long-term matches.

“Last. Come out.”

But I’m not a normal person.

It would be nice to set a new record altogether.

“You’ve seen it, so you know how to do it. Every time I turn, I repeat the number of laps.”

“Yes.”

Also, I am the only one who can repeat the name.

“Ready. 3, 2, 1. Let’s start!”

Faba Park!

It ran like a roar.

There was no time to adjust the speed.

Because of Seth’s appearance, it can be somehow glossed over.

I have to join the Royal Knights to kill Harold.

By any means necessary.

“One lap.”

The backs of several people’s heads are visible.

And the back of his head disappears out of my sight.

The eyes of everyone on the parade ground were on me.

Even if you don’t look in the eyes, emotions flow in.

“Two wheels.”

I can see the back of my head again.

And then it disappeared out of my sight again.

“Three laps.” “Ha, one lap!”

“Puhahaha!!! Cough! Cough!”

Jean laughed while running, then chuckled and lost his breathing rhythm.

Come to think of it, I can’t see Isabelle.

Where is Isabelle?

“Four wheels.” “Four wheels…!”

…Isabel was running close behind me.

At terrifying speed.

‘How do I follow you?’

He clearly looks tired, but how can he keep up with me when he’s at his physical peak?

The Grand Duke Widow is an ordinary woman.

Not even a terub or a hosot, but a human.

‘Not the Widow Grand Duke?’

I can only explain that Isabel was blessed by Venus just like me.

What on earth is this woman?

Anyway, it’s dangerous.

Everything is a relative evaluation.

As long as you are tied in theory, if you are overtaken, you are in trouble!

“Keuheup···!”

I gritted my teeth and ran even faster.

“Five laps!” “Five laps――!!!”

You have to increase the score as fast as you can!

“Six laps!”

“Six laps…!”

Won!

“···2 minutes 55 seconds. 3 minutes.”

Isabel just collapsed into a ball.

I looked to see if I had fallen, but it seemed like I had not fallen but was exhausted.

The training director looked at me and Isabelle in turns, and then burst out laughing.

“If you received the servant’s blessing, you would become a priest, so why are you pushing the poor kids away to become a knight?”

You understand the situation quickly.

I think the trainees who were staring at me finally understood the situation.

“I believe you have heard the circumstances.”

“I heard it.”

I was fine with it, but Isabelle wasn’t.

She collapsed, gasping for breath, and even retching.

‘That woman was not sent by the Grand Duke Widow.’

Because the Grand Duke Widow and Venus have no contact whatsoever.

So what on earth does that mean?

Could this be the incarnation of a servant?

‘no.’

Then there is no way you would lose to me, and there is no reason to do such a useless thing.

There’s no way I was gasping for breath like that.

“···I feel like I’m going to run out of breath, so I’ll bring some water.”

“Sure.”

I went back to my seat and took out the shoes from my bag.

I don’t know its identity, but in any case, it is highly likely that it is not my enemy.

But the only people who know that look are the Grand Duke and Sir.

‘Could it be Shir?’

…I guess that’s not true.

“Phew…!”

When I handed over the shoes, Isabel stood up and gulped down the water.

I drink it so fortunately

Isabelle, who had been drinking water in a somewhat frantic manner, looked at the water bottle and then opened her eyes wide when she saw that the water in the bottle in her hand was still the same.

“Uh…?”

Those big eyes turn towards me.

“Because it is a magic tool, the contents do not shrink.”

“Really…?”

“Yes. You can eat it freely.”

Because I’m not tired.

Isabel poured water on her head.

What about other people?

Jean, Susan, and Henry come in together.

“Four wheels…!” “Four wheels…!” “Three wheels…!”

···Henry was sad.

* * * * * *

“···I am finished.”

Henry let out a sigh of frustration.

“14 minutes is not a bad record.”

“It must be like that among soldiers.”

Susan frowned and slyly glanced at Henry.

Even though the results weren’t out yet, Henry smiled bitterly and started packing his bags.

“It is a relative evaluation. There’s no need to give up already, right?”

“Just looking at it, I’m in last place. Besides… I can’t hear that.”

Henry shook his head as he looked at the barbell, which was so heavy that it bent.

“If I am appointed as Deputy Chief of Staff in the future, I will relieve you of some of the work.”

Jean laughed mischievously and slapped Henry on the back.

The barbell has three 100-pound iron plates on each side.

‘Deadlift 300?’

If you add the weight of the bar, it will weigh more.

“Do you think you can lift it?”

“Ha. Are you afraid you can’t even lift something like that?”

Susan laughed and ignored Jean’s question.

“Why, you only have to raise it up to the crotch?”

All of Hosott and Terup passed.

However, some elves seem to fail.

“Why are you doing that?”

Still, the eyes weren’t bored because the buttocks were emphasized.

Whether it’s a man or a woman, everyone wants to spank a fat butt.

“It’s because the tension of the middle crossbow is that high.”

···The tension of the crossbow is 300kg?

Children who lived in the auger’s nest used to load it with one hand from an early age.

I once again felt the difference in power.

“You have to be able to lift that thing so you can load the lightweight heavy crossbow for humans and elves with your bare hands. Among the soldiers, there are many who are discharged from the volunteer army after injuring their backs while lifting something.”

‘Because I got hit like that, there were holes in my body.’

“Next!”

“I’ll be back.”

Jean goes to the exam room.

The elf in front was lifting the barbell with his teeth clenched and his nose was bleeding like a fountain, but Jean looked very comfortable.

It was the same with Susan.

Subjectively, the person who seems the least human is Susan.

Three of the humans received Venus’ blessings, but Susan did not.

─Even more so, she is a human woman.

The head of the training camp also seems to like Susan quite a bit.

Now it’s my turn.

“You brought the weapon you used. What is the tension of your bow?”

“I don’t know exactly. Still, I think there will be at least a heavy crossbow.”

“Nonsense!” “He can’t even load a crossbow!”

Someone booed.

Perhaps because of the poor military discipline, the head of the training camp sighed deeply.

“That’s right, but you should go and assemble the bow.”

“Yes.”

The desire to get rid of anything that doesn’t meet the standard is similar to the feeling that a protruding stone is annoying.

If so, all you have to do is prove it to them and get recognition.

Meanwhile, Isabel lifted a barbell weighing over 300kg as if she was showing off her strength and looked at me intently.

It was a cute look.

He had been acting sad until morning, and now that he has lost the race, he seems to feel a sense of rivalry with me.

It was clear that he secretly thought of me as beneath him.

‘It’s worth it.’

Even though I couldn’t read emotions, I could feel the human jealousy, which was something new, and my wariness was disappearing.

In any case, it seemed certain that Isabel herself also came here to become a knight.

I went back and assembled the bow.

“Bring your personal weapons.”

When I took the horn and went out, the head of Yang Yang’s face became a strange frown.

“This is a horn made from rhinoceros horn and snowwood.”

“How did you know?”

“Prove it in front of your classmates. If you are not recognized, you too must use a heavy crossbow.”

It seems like it’s a hassle to answer.

“What should I target?”

“A piece of wood in front of 200 cubits.”

The heavier the arrow, the less distance it travels.

In that sense, it is clear that this bow with a lead core has a short range.

In actual combat, the basic skill of a bow is rapid fire.

If you want to be recognized, it would be better to show rapid fire.

I quickly fired the seawater relief giant’s square bow.

Paaang—! Paaang—! Paaang—!

The bowstring splashes violently.

You need to be able to shoot faster, but since it is a square bow, rapid shooting is difficult.

The arrow flew with a sound loud enough to be seen with the naked eye and hit each of the three pieces of heavy crossbow training wood.

Ujijik! Quick! Bye!

The piece of wood could not withstand the Giant’s arrow and was shattered.

“Haa···.”

Director Yang sighed as if he knew this would happen.

I feel sorry, but he is the one who asked me to shoot this bow even though I knew its identity.

“Is there anyone who can’t admit it yet?”

The training director goes through the apprentices one by one.

Thanks to Director Ang Seong, who gave strength to his eyeballs, there were no boos.

“Representative of apprentice engineer.”

“Yes.”

“I will be in full charge of your training from now on.”

It felt like I could see his inner thoughts.

‘Don’t break the teaching material.’ That’s it.

“I also want to learn from the training center director!”

···Isabel.

The training director glanced at Isabelle, then shifted his gaze to the apprentice knights.

“···Yes. Let’s do it. Those two are unique cases of receiving a servant’s blessing, so I think you’ll understand.”

There was no counterargument.

To be exact, Jean also received Venus’ blessing, but he kept his mouth shut, so it seemed like he was planning on just sucking on honey.

‘I want to suck too.’

The eyes of the apprentice knights looking at me and Isabel were full of jealousy and envy.

This is because not long has passed since the power of Venus swept over Pangea.

The creator of reversal medicine, and a servant betrayed by humans.

And the only servant who saved humans from the Black Death.

“···I guess Venus really only likes humans.”

Someone’s complaint rang out softly.
