Episode 100
“Another test?”
Raon tilted his head. The graduation exam for Sieghard trainees is usually a match between trainees or a simple way of passing a course created by an instructor.
Looking at Limer’s smirk, it didn’t seem like a normal test.
“You guys have a lot more experience than other trainees, don’t you?”
Limer clicked her tongue and waved her fingers.
“A match for honor, a battle for life, and even a way to fight using strength. I have gone through all the experiences that a regular prosecutor would have had.”
That’s right.
5 The trainees at the gymnasium are not as good as they were in their previous lives, but they have gained much more experience than the Robert family or other trainees at the gymnasium.
If you give ordinary tests to such children, they will all pass without difficulty.
“Exams are an opportunity to accelerate growth than usual. The clumsy test did not help you, so I changed the content of the test.”
“Well… .”
“exactly.”
Everyone nodded at Limer’s explanation. Watching Raon’s performance, the trainees who were with him wanted to climb higher than becoming an ordinary swordsman, so it was a natural reaction.
“So what kind of test do we have to take?”
Burren raised his hand and leaned forward.
“survival.”
Limer’s expression changed abruptly. The old man in the neighborhood who ate jokes disappeared. A heavy yet sharp energy shone on his back.
“It is survival. You will give up your status as Sieghard’s trainees and go out and live with only your name and a sword.”
“Bird, survive… .”
“100 million!”
“Are you going to leave with just your name and sword?”
Survival was an unexpected test, so all the trainees opened their mouths.
“I understand the embarrassment. The result will be different from the graduation exam you expected. But this is definitely a necessary ordeal.”
Limer sat down on the podium and looked down at all the trainees.
“You are very confident right now. He defeated the training knights of the Owen Kingdom, survived the war with Eden, and ate the elixir and grew up to come to the body. Minorly, there was also a battle with the 6th gymnasium. Well, someone had a lot of power.”
He slowly turned his eyes to look at Raon.
“Come and see how big and wide the world is with your eyes full of confidence.”
“Well… .”
The trainees could not speak in embarrassment, but Raon nodded alone.
‘That’s right.’
As Rimer said, the most necessary thing for trainees who have become stronger both physically and mentally is practice.
Regardless of the power of the family, fighting with their own strength will lead them to a higher place.
“I just accept rejection.”
Limer raised her eyebrows and smiled.
“It is not easy for you, who used to eat the food prepared by the family and sleep in the bed provided by the family, to live outside. Neither me nor the instructor will follow me this time. You could really lose your life.”
He nodded slowly.
“So don’t even think about other graduation exams for those who are afraid. If anyone is going to refuse, think it through and tell me tomorrow.”
“Well… .”
“Uh, another test?”
“I don’t need that.”
Unlike the trainees who rolled their eyes and worried, Marta shook her head as she patted her hair. Her black eyes flashed as she stepped forward.
“survival? I’ve been doing that since I was a toddler. Do whatever you want.”
Marta snorted as if it didn’t matter what test she took.
“I’m fine too.”
Burren came forward with a calm voice. There was no tremor in the deep sunken eyes.
“Graduation exam with the theme of survival. As the instructor said, I think it is an opportunity to grow one step further. I will accept it.”
“Are you two already?”
Limer smiled and raised two fingers.
“I, I will!”
“me too!”
“Please include my name!”
When Burren and Marta participated, the trainees raised their hands and shouted that they would participate.
“Good. great.”
Limer applauded and smiled whenever the trainees offered to participate.
“Lunan.”
Raon turned around and called for Runan, who was standing blankly. She matched Limer’s applause with a cloud of feet as if it didn’t matter what it was.
“What are you going to do?”
“What about Raon?”
“I have to.”
“Then I’ll do it too.”
She said that she would go forward and participate in the practice. So all 42 trainees raised their hands, and Raon was left alone.
“Laon. How about you?”
“Of course I will.”
“Hmm, can even you, the chief, answer with such ignorance? Do you know where I will send you?”
Limer stuck out her mouth with a smirk.
“it’s okay.”
Raon did not fall for his provocation and smiled.
“It must be hard enough to die, but the instructor won’t give us an ordeal that we can’t overcome.”
“you… .”
Limer’s expression changed suddenly at the words he said with certainty. Rather than liking her, her eyes were a bit bewildered.
Rimer understands the strengths and weaknesses of each trainee and has been training accordingly.
As I learned a while ago, most of the work he moved was for trainees.
Although his actions and tone were light, there was no reason not to trust Limer with a heavy thought.
“So do I.”
Burren stood next to Raon and nodded.
“I’m lazy, I can’t keep my appointments, I’m addicted to alcohol and gambling, but I’m sure it’s education.”
“huh.”
Martha turned her head, but didn’t say anything. It meant that he agreed with Burren and Raon to some extent.
“It is heartbreaking and touches my heart that my disciples thought so.”
Limer sniffed through her mouth and pretended to cry. It seemed like he was trying to pass it on as a joke, but seeing that his lips changed like a crescent moon, he was definitely happy.
“There is no such thing as looking at it. You will have to be prepared.”
As he reached out his hand behind him, the instructor handed him the papers.
“Originally, we should let you know in a week, but we all agreed, so don’t tell me where you guys are going right away.”
“Are we all going to the same place?”
Burren raised her hand and asked a question.
“No way.”
Limer waved her finger.
“You guys pretend not to, but you have a strong tendency to depend on one guy.”
His gaze turned to Raon, and the trainees followed it.
“Well… .”
“Well, that’s right… .”
“Certainly it is.”
To what extent they agreed with Rimer’s words, the trainees ate their mouths.
At first, he was jealous and hated Raon, but as they practiced together, went through real battles, and overcame crises, the trainees truly followed Raon.
“It’s encouraging that your relationship has improved, but your one-sided will is not good.”
Limer smiled softly and looked at the trainees one by one.
“Take this test and become a swordsman you can rely on for yourself.”
“Yes!”
“All right!”
As the instructor felt his sincerity, the trainees raised their voices to leave the gymnasium.
“Well then… .”
Limer opened the booklet she had received from the instructor.
“Berren Sieghard.”
“Yes!”
“You are the West Levun Desert.”
“All right.”
“Martha Sieghard. You are East Saiyan Gorge. and… .”
Limer did not wait for the trainees to answer, and called out to where they had to go.
“… Luna Sleon. You are the Katam Jungle in the northwest.”
“yes.”
“This is the last time. Raon Sighardt.”
All the trainees’ names were called, and now only Raon was left.
“Yes.”
“You are northeast. It is Habun Castle.”
“Habun Castle… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes.
‘I’m sending you to a place where you can’t be bothered.’
Habun Castle is a castle farther north than Sieghart, and it was one of the battlefields where monsters from the North Sea and Mount Sterrin fought 365 days a year.
‘It will definitely help.’

No matter how many rings of fire he had, and no matter how much he learned to be a cartoonist, he still could not recover all the senses of his previous life.
If you entrust yourself to that battlefield, you may have a life and a sense of life beyond your previous life.
“There is one month left until departure. Gather information about where you need to go, and think and decide for yourself how to prepare and what to prepare. All of this is a test.”
Limer closed the booklet and raised her chin.
“Yes! All right!”
In the eyes of the trainees who answered loudly, there were expectations for growth and worries about the unknown at the same time.
“Like the others, you’re going to have a hard time.”
Limer came down in front of Raon and gave her bloody eyes.
“Because there’s no room to put a sword there, so it’s called the hell of battle.”
“Hey profit!”
Dorian, who was caught in Habun Castle together, was terrified and his legs trembled. Raon looked at him and smiled.
“If it’s hell, that’s fine.”
“uh?”
“If you overcome hell and come, how strong will you be? and… .”
Raon nodded, radiating eyes full of anticipation.
‘Because I’ve been through hell.’

“Hey, do you really have to do that?”
When he returned to the annex with the story of the graduation exam, Helen shook her head and trembled.
“Habun Castle is one of Sieghart’s barriers, so I heard that strong monsters are constantly pouring in. They also prepare other exams, so do you really need to go there? .”
“This is me… .”
“Go.”
Before Raon could speak, Sylvia put down her fork and knife and nodded.
“But it’s a very dangerous place… .”
“I’ll still go.”
Sylvia shook her head at Helen and looked at Raon.
“It’s an opportunity for Raon to grow.”
She no longer saw Raon as a child after her battle with Raiden. test. He was regarded as a qualified prosecutor.
Of course, that didn’t mean Sylvia wasn’t worried. The hand holding the glass of water was trembling slightly.
“Mom is right.”
Raon closed her eyes as she watched Sylvia, Helen, and her maids’ worried gazes.
“As the instructor said, this is not a test, but an opportunity to grow. When the opportunity comes, you should seize it.”
“okay. well thought out.”
Helen and her maids still seemed to have a lot to say, but Sylvia, who lived a life of a deserter, was different. He was now acknowledging himself.
‘It’s comfortable.’
Helen, the handmaiden, has a strong voice, but Sylvia cannot win. Now that I got her consent, I thought it would be a lot easier to train in the future.
“Then I will go to practice.”
Raon put the plate aside and stood up.
“Laon.”
Sylvia turned her head as he was about to return to the room.
“If you are going to do it, prepare well. So that you can be prepared for anything to happen.”
“yes.”
Raon nodded confidently and entered the room.
“lady. Are you really okay?”
“Hey, could it be okay?”
Sylvia trembled with both hands holding the glass of water. There was no way I could be relieved that my only son was going to a dangerous place.
‘but… .’
Unlike Helen, she had no choice but to let Raon go, even if she didn’t like it, because she knew what kind of person Mu-in was and what the swordsman had to do with it.
Even if he blocks it anyway, Raon will go. It was the right thing for that child to send him cool.
“Still, I am worried. It’s such a dangerous place… .”
“It’s natural to be worried.”
Sylvia nodded her head.
“So we have work to do.”
“What are you going to do?”
“okay. We have to do our best so that Raon can rest comfortably when he returns.”
After looking around the maids, she smiled broadly. It was a smile that concealed the anxiety that could be seen as a mother and the owner of the annex.
“lady… .”
The maids sympathized with her words and silently nodded their heads.
Judiel quietly clenched his fists as he looked at Sylvia and Helen.

Even after knowing that he was leaving for a place called the battlefield a month later, Raon’s life was the same.
As usual, he trained early in the morning, went to the 5th gymnasium, received education from Rimer and his instructors, and stayed until the very end in the evening to continue his training.
However, the intensity has increased to the point that it is different from the previous one.
Burren and Marta were getting tired of watching, and Runan was exhausted and left.
“Whew… .”
Raon went back to the annex after a week of training that was so hard that his strong mental power was eroded.
It was time for everyone to sleep, so I opened the window and went into the room.
“Well… .”
The room was clean enough that no dust could be seen, and the clothes and bedding had a soft scent.
‘I don’t need this.’
Contrary to his heart, he smiled.
I was grateful to Sylvia and the maids for taking care of me so that I could spend a comfortable time whenever I came back.
“ha… .”
Raon sighed and sat down on the bed. The recent training was hard for him too, so he fell asleep.
As I was about to lie down, I felt something on the bed.
“what?”
As I tilted my head and lifted the blanket, I saw a small booklet.
“This… .”
Raon’s eyes as he read the book became as bright as a fire. The booklet contained information about the castle he had to go to.
Geographic information, information about the monsters that appear, and even information about the people there. It was obvious who gave it to me.
‘Judiel.’
It was the information she prepared when she knew she was going to Habun Castle.
“It’s okay.”
Raon wiped his lips with the bitterness that wet the tip of his tongue.
“Before you leave, you should make sure you make a deal.”
