90. Turning Point
I fidgeted with the armband on my right arm.
“That’s awkward….”
A green belt armband worn only by instructors, made in green, the symbol of Rangers. It’s something I’ve seen since long ago, but since I’m wearing it, it’s even a little awkward.
The parade ground at the training center, which I have been standing in for the first time in a long time, and even as an instructor, gave me a different feeling.
“Five laps ahead!!!”
“””Five turns!!!”””
“For the last time, shout out loud!!! One! We do not abandon our comrades!”
“”””We will not abandon our comrades!!!””””
“Two! We are dedicated to the kingdom!!!”
“” “Two! We are….”””
I could see the trainees rolling over something. The fact that his complexion turned pale from sweating showed how long he had run.
After the last five laps, a bunch of exhausted trainees lined up in front of me.
“Relax!”
“””Relax!!!”””
As the bald instructor shouted, everyone sat comfortably with hopeful expressions on their faces.
I know that feeling well.
As everyone sat comfortably and looked at me, the bald instructor who was leading the trainees politely pointed at me and opened his mouth.
“This is him! The pride of our rangers, and the talented people of the kingdom! Austin Dae-senpai will be!”
“””ooo!!!”””
“Applause to the daily instructor Austin for giving up such valuable time to educate you guys himself!”
Clap clap clap!!!
There was a much greater response than I expected. The eyes of the female trainees looking at me are hot.
“Ha….”
This is true. It tickles me.
I don’t like being spit on like this.
“Khehehehe….”
“Austin….”
Sylvia, who was sitting in the shade next to me, looked at me with pitiful eyes.
Me…. Don’t look at me like that… !
“Write….”
Immediately, he changed his expression completely and looked over the trainees with a cold, emotionless expression.
Max… Max is….
How are you?
“Instructor?”
“Yes?”
The bald instructor quickly ran in front of me. When I asked why he was so polite to me, he was an instructor I had never seen before. What is this, you ate less time than me?
“Instructor. Where is Trainee Max?”
“Ah…. Trainee Max is in Group 4. Now is the time for group 1, 3 and 5 training.”
Instructor Pamela says the details are a bit lacking in this area. Well, you’re going to fall into the sniper class anyway, so even if I taught you, it wouldn’t help at all.
Well, I can’t help it.
“Hmm…. Then.”
I looked down at the podium. Everyone was looking at me with twinkling eyes.
What, do you want me to unravel the story that happened at the warrior party?
I’m sorry, but I’m a big believer in the saying that hard training makes for a tough ranger, and I’m a big fan of hell training.
“Nice to meet you all. My name is Austin, who came as a daily instructor. In charge of the scouting of the hero’s party….”
… Was should I say
From noble mtl dot com
No, it’s a bit out of shape then.
“Kuhm. I’m in charge of scouting for the hero’s party.”
“Wow…. He said he joined the warrior party….”
“What a great ranger….”
“Come to think of it, it was also hung at the entrance. On the big banner….”
From noble mtl dot com
No, that f*cker. Touch the sore
“Quiet!!!!!! Who is talking during training!!!!!!”
The atmosphere, which had been filled with anticipation and excitement, quickly became cold. Listening to the story of the warrior party, the eyes of the trainees, who were ready to drink honey during training, were wrapped in anxiety.
“From now on, don’t make noise without my permission!!! I don’t know if he would have been loud in front of the other instructors, but he’s not even half a penny in front of me!!!”
“Haa….”
“Who is the one who let out a sigh!!! I’ll give you three seconds! Come forward!!! One!!!”
The trainee let out a sigh and jumped out in front of me with a very nervous expression. I pretended to have a grim expression on my face.
“Trainee No. 3 In Group 1! Joel!”
“Joel trainee! Why did you sigh!”
“That, that….”
“Don’t you answer straight away!!! Shouldn’t the proud future Rangers have to stutter!!!”
“Oh no!”
“Everyone, except trainee Joel, stretch out!!!”
A silence hung over the parade ground. I glanced to the side and saw the bald instructor looking at me with a very satisfied expression.
Sylvia had a very interesting expression on her face. Is it because it’s the first time I’ve seen myself like this, or is it strange to think that I’ve been trained like this?
“Ugh….”
I looked at the group of trainees again, but no one fell down.
“Doesn’t my words sound like words!!!!!! Everyone!!! Get down and stretch!!!!!!”
“””Oh, get down and stretch!!!”””
Um. Good.
Except for Joel, everyone fell on their stomachs whimpering. The occasional glances at Joel were unusual.
This is… A taste of power… ?
A daily instructor might not be bad… ?
“Hmmm.”
You may think I am exaggerating. However, this is all a course for Joel.
What needs to be improved in this process should definitely be improved. If you are assigned to the main unit in this state, there is a high possibility that it will only cause trouble and fall into the abyss.
So, I guess I’ll have to correct it.
I looked at Joel’s face. It is very colored.
I guess so. Because of one small mistake of oneself, the other classmates are sweating profusely.
“Joel trainee!”
“Trainee No. 3 In Group 1! Joel!”
“Thanks to trainee Joel now, everyone is dying very well! Is that correct!”
“That’s right—.”
“Ooh, yes? Trainee Joel seems to have judged that you all like lying down! 10 More minutes!”
“Ahhh… ! No! It doesn’t look good!”
Joel exclaimed, almost tearing up. That should be enough.
“I’ll take a look just this once! Go back to your seat!”
“Yes!”
“Everybody sit down right away!”
“””Sit right away!!!”””
If you do this, maybe next time you will be more careful not to make mistakes, even if it’s because of your responsibility to your classmates.
If things went on like this, Joel might end up being ostracized. He needed to change the subject.
When it comes to turning the topic, there’s nothing like a funny story that will leave you mesmerized and listened to.
“Then, before starting the full-scale training! I will tell you a story that has become bone and flesh for this instructor! Let’s all open our ears and listen! Do you understand!”
“””I got it!!!”””
Everyone’s eyes came back to life.
The warriors’ party is low, just great.
* * *
“Oh, I’m going to die…” .”
Correction. The daily instructor was a very bad choice.
In order to solve the story of the warrior party, they talked non-stop for almost two hours. Even, after that, I went into proper training again.
Perhaps because it was after hearing the story of the warrior party, everyone was so motivated that they had a taste for teaching.
Is it because I participated in the training too actively and hard? Even though I was really tired, I was really tired. If you lie down like this, you’ll be able to sleep right away.
“Ugh…. You stupid. I should have taken it easy, what if I made it so hard?”
Sylvia, who was walking supporting me, grumbled. I replied with a helpless smile.
“Sylvia. You don’t know it, but it’s very important to nurture future ranger buds. I can’t be so careless….”
“Oh, yes yes. Okay.”
“No, you enjoyed watching too. You can’t see this anywhere.”
“Ugh…. That’s it. Even if I show you something like that, I won’t see it.”
Speaking like this, it was Sylvia who enjoyed watching the most. I thought Sylvia had come to see the circus or something.
After I roughly stroked Sylvia with such a sullen expression, Sylvia shook her head and pushed my arm hard.
“Okay, leave now. It is too heavy.”
“Tsk. It was the perfect position to put her arm around.”
“Ehh…. Really….”
I walked for a long time in the direction of the inn, watching the sun blazing and disappearing over the castle wall.
Sylvia, who had been quiet for a long time, spoke softly.
“Still, I’m glad the academy thing went well.”
“Whew…. Yes. The most important thing worked out, so it’s a relief no matter what.”
“With Princess Alexis…. I mean, we haven’t made friends yet. If it falls off already, I’ll be a little sad.”
Sylvia seemed to want to get closer to Princess Alexis. This, this, she usually bounces back and doesn’t talk much, but it was just because she was shy.
“By the way, in what direction should you enter the academy?”
“Huh?”
“No, think about it. Since you’re a demon, you can’t even use elemental magic, and you can only use magic using wax, right?”
“… Ah.”
Sylvia turned to me with an expression that she had come to her senses.
“What is it? Did you have any idea?”
“But…. Lou, Luna….”
“What is Luna…. Are you good with windows? You can go into the melee class.”
“Ah…. Ha, but….”
Sylvia’s eyes began to tremble. Well, it’s probably because she’s worried that she won’t be able to enter the academy alone.
“Don’t worry. Who am i Of course, I’ve also thought of a way for you to get in.”
“Me, really?!”
“Sure. Of course.”
I will enter as a cleaner or a personal employee.
I didn’t bother to tell you this. Since Sylvia didn’t ask, couldn’t it be my fault?
“Come to think of it, that person I met last time…. The lycanthrope and the wizard.”
“Uh. The name… Simon and… Was it Joey?”
“They said they would set up an inn nearby, but I haven’t run into them since.”
“What…. They must be busy in their own way.”
As I walked around chattering like that, before I knew it, I arrived in front of a familiar inn.
I wonder if everyone is in the room.
I went up the stairs and stood in front of the door I went to this morning.
Jumping.
“Guys! I’m here!”
As I pushed open the door and shouted as I entered, everyone in the room turned to me.
The warrior party was back before I knew it.
“What? Why is everyone so dead?”
“””… ….”””
The atmosphere is very cheap. I decided to keep an eye on it.
I quietly tidied up my equipment, quickly got out of the bath, changed my clothes, and sat down in a chair.
Until then, everyone hadn’t even opened their mouths.
“Hey, Sylvia. What happened?”
“I don’t know. The hero said he went to the palace. What happened?”
“Austin.”
Finally, the hero opened his mouth. I answered while looking at the warrior.
“Uh. What are you doing Why is everyone looking like they’re chewing sh*t….”
“I have something to tell you.”
The warrior’s expression was quite serious. Feeling nervous, I moved my throat and swallowed.
“A very, very important story.”
“What, what is it?”
I’m anxious.
The good news is… It seemed hard to expect.
Hopefully it’s not the worst, I listened to the hero’s story.
