Aegis (8)
234
Even after meeting Sebas in the bathroom.
Rei continued her training from Aegis, apparently faithfully.
There was a problem with the joints to continue receiving high-intensity Akbari training, but Rey used tricks such as strengthening muscles by using mana secretly.
It took a while, but because Rey’s skills were excellent, at least none of his classmates noticed it.
He only looked at Ray, mechanically panting among his comrades, and Nelson with cold eyes.
The brooch that Karen gave her also helped Rey recover from minor fatigue.
Ray carried a brooch with him all the time, sometimes wearing it outside or keeping it in his jacket pocket.
Thanks to this, Rey was completely relieved of her worries about physical abuse.
Of course, Aegis didn’t just keep instructing the cadets to train their bodies.
Aegis was a specialized military educational institution, so Aegis cadets had to complete military studies and other liberal arts disciplines.
This one was also pretty tight.
Military education alone is not easy, but he is the best elite in the empire, and the timetable was very tight because he was forced to take care of his culture.
Aside from being physically and mentally exhausted, Ray admired from the inside out.
The overall curriculum of Aegis was much more systematic and specialized than Ray had expected.
In the future, the Aegis cadets will be educated as if they were engraved in their minds with the doctrines of battle assuming all kinds of situations.
Of course, right now, I was starting with the basics such as the encryption method and the Dokdo method.
The fourth day of admission to Aegis.
After completing physical training, the cadets rushed into the classroom and took their seats.
An elderly professor in charge of the introductory tactics course, whom I met with the cadets for the first time today, came into the classroom and started the class with a soft tone.
As this is the first class with the cadets, the experienced professor led the cadets to have an interest in the class rather than explaining difficult concepts from the beginning.
The professor introduced something like a historically famous battle, engaging the cadets by asking, answering, and discussing the tactics involved.
The cadets also responded to the professor and began to actively participate in the class.
When a certain atmosphere was established, the professor drew a battlefield like a hologram in the air using an artifact device, and then pointed to the ray.
“Number 329.”
“Yes, Professor.”
Ray, who had been quietly listening to the class, answered straight away.
The professor placed the troops on the hologram and asked Ray.
“What should I do to attack a fortified fort like this?”
Appearing above the hologram was a fully fortified fortification built on rock layers.
Ray answered confidently.
“Just drop the Meteor.”
“…”
The cadets around looked at Ray like a madman, and the professor also had a distorted expression.
This guy said let’s see, so he’s joking around with me right now, but when the professor looked at me with such an expression on his face, Ray belatedly corrected his answer.
“Isn’t it necessary to cut off the supply or launch a bucket operation to disperse the enemy’s firepower and consume the prepared magic, then break through one point at once with the main force and break into the interior?”
“Good opinion.”
That’s a great answer for not learning anything.
After praising Ray lightly, the professor changed the shape of the hologram.
“Meteor… High-ranking magic capable of genocide without even going there is sure to be powerful, but it must also bear a corresponding risk. There are many battles in history that have been defeated by a single powerful shot.”
In the hologram, the sky opened and the ground burned.
When everyone’s eyes were on the hologram, the professor added an explanation.
“Even in the case that happened in the Kingdom of Alimo… Rumors are circulating that the Imperial Special Forces used the magic of the demon worshipers to annihilate the enemy… I know.”
Rey’s eyes met the professor who had been dispelling unconfirmed rumors that one of the task force members participating in the battle had been awarded the Order of Defense of the Empire.
When Ray smiled with a happy face, the professor felt bad for nothing.

Not all Aegis professors were generous with their first class.The professor who taught me how to dokdo recites theories from the first class, but the concept of the law of Dokdo was difficult to understand when I first heard it.
All the cadets knew how to read the basic map, but the proper military Dokdo law was much more complicated and difficult.
When the professor finished the class after explaining the key concepts of Dokdo Law, some cadets were frozen.
It wasn’t that the professor couldn’t explain.
It was rather clear, but the cadets were exposed to unfamiliar concepts, so it took time to understand and accept them in their heads.
As Rey was about to get up after summarizing and organizing key concepts appropriately, Yohana placed her notebook on Rey’s desk.
“I don’t understand.”
It was Yohana who was very proud of her request to teach.
Rey blinked at Johana.
Externally, Rei and Yohana were meeting for the first time at Aegis.
It would seem strange to others to ask for something to be taught as it is now.
As Lay was still, Yohana added it again and again with an acting tone.
“I don’t understand this concept. I think you understand, could you please help me?”
“Well… yes.”
Ray opened the notebook with a smile.
Rei was arguing with Yohana like that, so it wasn’t long before Darren joined the desk.
We’ve known each other since we were little kids, but pretending to be awkward made the atmosphere strangely awkward.
Ray laughed at that, raising the corners of her mouth and continuing the explanation.
Ray was basically smart, and when it comes to ‘learning’, he was more savvy than others, so it wasn’t difficult for him to understand the part where Johana and Darren were confused.
As the additional lessons continued, Giusepin, who was sitting next to Ray, glanced at him and wrote something down in his notebook.
Rei did not continue to explain, but turned to look at Giuseppin.
“Hey, Beusepin.”
“…my name is Giusepin.”
“…No, why did you name it so confusingly?”
“Gee, are you insulting my name now…!!”
“It’s a joke, so stop stealing from there and come back to work.”
“…”
Giusephine procrastinated and eventually came to Ray’s desk with a notebook.
Giusepin sat face to face with Rey with a face full of humiliation, and after listening to Rey’s explanation of what she did not understand and understanding, she exclaimed and liked it.
“That’s what it means…! It was…”
Giusephine, who was grinning, looked at Rey’s face and hardened her expression again.
After that, there were a few unfriendly professors in classes other than the Dokdo Law class, but it was difficult to ask the professor something every time, so naturally, the number of questions and answers between the cadets increased.
So the 3rd grade cadets got closer and closer.

6th day of admission to Aegis.
Among today’s plans, there was an ‘arming ceremony’.
At the armament conferment ceremony, armaments were presented to the newly admitted Aegis cadets by the emperor.
Each cadet was awarded with weapons suitable for their swordsmanship and physique.
The number and quality of armaments awarded varied widely among cadets, and this enabled Aegis to indirectly grasp the expectations of each cadet.
Although it was a brutal event in that respect, Aegis did not hesitate to instill a spirit of competition and improvement in the cadets.
Because of that, a strange current flowed among the third-class cadets ahead of the armament conferment ceremony.
It would have been blunt again later on, but right now, most of the 3rd grade cadets were sharpened in fear that they might be hurt by receiving cheap weapons.

Nelson led those third-class cadets to the Central Hall.After waiting for about 30 minutes, the award ceremony began.
“Cadet 301, forward.”
Yohana went out in front of the podium and was awarded a sword and four defensive artifacts.
The sword was a familiar item to Yohana, and it was none other than the sword Zeppelin had made for Johana.
Among the defensive artifacts, the shoulder blades and gaiters were items that Johanna had received from Zeppelin’s Atelier before.
It was externally decorated as a gift from the emperor, and in any case, it was an unconventional level in the eyes of others.
The other 3rd grade cadets looked at Yohana with jealousy, but they applauded with a bitter sigh because they knew that Yohana had great talent through firsthand experience.
After that, Rey was given a sword, a cloak, and an inner glove that was soft like cotton.
All three had no patterns, so it was hard to recognize their value at first glance.
However, it was the black Omega series that Rey received, the material of the cloak was dragon leather, and the inner armor was supplied to the Royal Guard.
Even with this kind of equipment, there was no big problem for Ray to use his full power, so Ray received the equipment with a smile on his face.
‘I’m sure there will be no battles within the emperor…’
Ray hoped it wouldn’t happen.
After Rei, Aaron was awarded the armament.
Although the 3rd grade cadets felt happy that they were given expensive armaments, they had various emotions as they compared their own with the armaments of other cadets.
After that, the 3rd grade cadets put their armaments in their dormitory warehouse and gathered at the central hall again.
In the meantime, all the second-class cadets had gathered in the central hall.
The 3rd-grade cadets bowed their heads slightly without saying a word, then aligned themselves with the heat and took an alert posture.
“fist.”

Nelson went up to the stage and opened his mouth.“I would like to introduce the instructors who will be assigned to Aegis from this semester.”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
New instructors or regular instructors who have been assigned to Aegis from this semester.Just because he was a rookie or a regular employee, he could never ignore it.
The new instructors of Aegis were the best elite of the Empire who were active until just before, and in the case of regular instructors, most of them brought in prestigious authorities from Aegis for a limited time.
It was crazy to ignore them, who are the best experts in their field, because they were just cadets.
While both the 2nd and 3rd grade cadets raised the tension.
The newly appointed instructors of Aegis opened the back door of the central hall one by one and entered and stood on the podium.
The regular applause of the cadets continued.
And finally, Nelson introduced the last instructor.
“Finally… Sir Seria Alstein, who will be in charge of the ‘Artifact Management Practice’ subject, please come to the front of the stage.”
“?”
Rey stood in line without thinking, then tapped his ear.
I think I heard a familiar name, but Ray denied reality with a sense of hope.
Meanwhile, the cadets clapped vigorously, expressing their excitement.
If it was Seria Alstein, he was an outstanding knight that everyone in the Empire knew.
Seria was known to be adept at handling multiple artifacts at the same time, to the extent that she was often referred to as a ‘weapon master’ among luxuries.
Tickle!
The back door of the central hall opened and Seria appeared.
Rey blinked blankly and looked at Seria, and their eyes met.
“…”
Rey, who made eye contact with Seria, reflexively fled after riding on the ice for a while.
and not far
Rey was caught by Seria, drooping.
A feeling of embarrassment in the world was in the eyes of everyone who watched the whole series of processes.
Seria climbed to the top of the podium, holding Rey between her armpits, whether or not everyone was embarrassed.
Seria looked around and pushed her forward as if proud of Rei.
Ray wanted to die .
