Episode 14
After breakfast, Raon went back to the gym.
– It’s terribly tasteless. If this kind of garbage food came out while the main king was in the demon realm, he would have crushed the chef’s head.
‘uh? Did you taste it?’
-Although indirectly, the main king can share your senses. Special attention is paid to taste. Since he was in the Demon Realm, he has a high name as a gourmet… .
‘There are too many words. The taste was shared, so we could feel the taste. With just one word.’
– Shut up! The king is famous for being reticent… Ouch!
‘Because I can’t digest it. Be quiet.’
Raon tapped his bracelet to cover Lars’ mouth and looked over the podium.
Limer was lying on the podium as if taking a nap. There was no movement, as if it had become a statue.
– He’s a really bad looking guy. I want to pluck out those pointy ears.
Lars exhaled cold air from his mouth, seemingly angered when he saw Limer.
‘Sieghard’s lightsaber… .’
Rimer had a strong enough force to be called Sieghard’s lightsaber, but there were rumors that he was frivolous because his personality was light.
I thought it was a rumour, but now that I see Limer’s appearance, the information was terribly accurate.
‘But there are no gaps.’
Even if he slept like that, there was no weakness in him.
Even if he retired due to a serious injury, the force that was once a master does not seem to have completely disappeared.
-The moment the main king eats your body, I will pluck out those ears.
‘Well.’
It won’t happen though.
“Wow!”
Rimer got up and stretched slowly after a long time after all the temporary trainees had gathered.
“Did you eat well?”
“Yes.”
Because their stamina had not yet recovered, the children’s responses were more sluggish than the dawn.
“Then we start the next training right away.”
Limer smiled. As his gaze turned to the wooden sword placed on the side of the dance hall, the children’s expressions brightened.
“It’s black, do what I do.”
But instead of a wooden sword as if to tease children, he put his feet shoulder-width apart and bent his knees.
“Hey, aren’t you learning swords?”
One of the guards raised his hand and shouted.
“not really?”
“We know how to learn the sword… .”
“you’re right. Lightswords are famous for their swords, so why… .”
“knife? good sword But can you run before you even learn to walk?”
The corners of Limer’s lips twisted and rose. He was smiling coolly, but it felt like a chilling wind was blowing.
“Can you, who have neither physical strength, mental strength, nor posture, be able to learn proper swordsmanship?”
“ah… .”
“As I say every time, you don’t have to follow my instructions. You are responsible for yourself.”
It was a playful voice, but silence subsided in the auditorium.
“Those who will follow will follow, and those who wish to practice other practices should fall to the right.”
Of course, no one fell out. Everyone stood there and looked at Limer.
“Then let’s start again. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees so that your thighs are parallel to the ground.”
“Yes!”
The children followed the pose without difficulty.
“This posture is called Mabo. It means riding a horse, sword, sword, spear, and kwon. It is an attitude that is the basis of all martial arts. From now on, hold on to Mabo until I tell you to stop.”
“Yes!”
The children shouted loudly and raised their arms. Because it was one of the basic postures, there was not a single child who could not imitate it.
– To train your body in such a dignified posture, being a human is really insignificant.
‘You couldn’t even take that human body.’
-Ouch, that’s another case… .
‘Be quiet because I have to concentrate.’
Raon put on the flower bracelet and closed her eyes.
‘It’s an important time.’
If you use the Ring of Fire, you can get a lot from this basic training. Even if I practiced for the same time, I got different things from other children.
“Then I will sleep.”
Limer lay down again and began to doze off, and Mabo continued incessantly.
“Shut up… .”
“Ugh!”
“Hey, how long are you doing this?”
The children trembled like an earthquake. Even if Mabo was in the basic posture, it was the first time he had done it for so long.
However, the children of the upper group, including Runan and Burren, and Raon maintained their standing posture.
“Hey, what the hell is that guy?”
“How can you stand this!”
“He said that his body was the worst!”
“I heard it was a patient… .”
Although Raon was sweating profusely, he did not disturb his posture. As for the correct posture, he was above anyone else in the gymnasium.
“Aww!”
“Gee, I can’t lose.”
“He’s holding up like that, how can he stop!”
The children, who were about to release Mabo and give up, saw Raon in the lower group holding up, clenched their teeth and maintained their posture.
However, this time too, contrary to their thoughts, Raon was in a relaxed state.
‘This is easy enough.’
In a previous life, at a younger age than now, I stood with stones on my thighs and back. Compared to those days, training now was easy.
Of course, the pain of the cold that spread over the exhausted body was excruciating. It felt like my flesh was cracking and my bones were freezing, but this was my chance to get stronger.
woo woo.
Raon, while maintaining Mabo, rotated the ring of fire to receive the spreading cold air into her body.
As much pain was inflicted, a considerable amount of cold was absorbed, and the achievement of the Ring of Fire increased once more.
If this is the case, you will be able to win the bet with Lars without difficulty. Of course, I don’t know him.
oh oh oh
When Raon was immersed in his own world, forgetting that it was Mabo’s training, he heard applause from the podium.
“stop!”
When he woke up, Limer stood up and nodded, and the children sat down and kneaded their thighs like dough.
– How long are you going to ignore the king’s words!
‘sorry. I didn’t hear it.
-Hey, this little bastard is really… .
Lars, who had been muttering all the time, saw himself now reacting and scolded him.
“Whew… .”
Raon relaxed the muscles in his thighs and waist with a refreshing breath no matter what Lars was doing or not.
ding!
[You have completed extreme training beyond your physical strength.]
[Health increases.]
This time, the message that the stamina has risen came to mind. I stretched my back, feeling the vitality returning to my trembling thighs.
“Just like yesterday, there are those who did their best to the end and those who gave up.”
Rimer glanced at the children standing all the way to the end and flicked his fingers.
“Again, I am giving instructions, not directly involved in your training. Push yourself beyond your limits. Even if you beat the spirit of saying that you have done enough, you will be able to pass the exam in six months if you endure it.”
He continued with a smirk.
“This is the last word. From now on, I won’t care whether I give up or go to the end.”
Rimer disappeared after telling him to loosen his thighs for tomorrow’s training.
-It is absurd to shout a spiritual theory on the subject of a spiky ear who believes in the god of nature. Mental strength collapses in front of overwhelming power.
‘not really.’
– What do you mean it’s not?
‘Mental strength is important.’
Raon shook his head, releasing his legs.
-You are a one-day dog who has never felt true power. If you feel the power of the main king, you will immediately worship… .
‘I survived your attack with my mental strength?’
-Bo, the Bon King has not yet regained his original power!
‘Am I just a child?’
– Well, that’s… .
Lars’s voice sank like a wet towel.
‘There is no way that mental power is meaningless.’
Mental strength and physical strength are like muscles. It has its limits, but the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
Although he went through a number of crises in his previous life, it was not the first time he survived by demonstrating his extreme physical and mental strength.
‘Then let’s go.’
After relaxing the muscles of his thighs and buttocks, Raon entered the indoor training center.
Inside the training room, training equipment that could increase strength and agility were lined up.
-Are you training again?
‘okay.’
nodded. Just like squeezing a dried squid, you have to push your physical and mental strength to the limit to increase your abilities.
For him, additional training was not boring or difficult, but a moment full of anticipation.
Raon started with basic training including push-ups and planks, which are bare body exercises.
– It’s really frustrating. It’s like seeing a caterpillar hanging from a tree.
‘Even a caterpillar that crawls on a branch will one day become a butterfly and fly away.’
-The only way for you to become a butterfly is to hand over your body to the main king.
‘It’s not a butterfly, it’s a poisonous moth. Awaken your dreams.’
He waved his hands and bent his arms again. Not just a lot of repetitions, but slowly bending and straightening the arms to stimulate the muscles.
It felt like my chest muscles were going to break, but the pain was rather pleasant. Because the pain of today will become the ability and stamina of the future.
When I was doing my abdominal training after push-ups, children started coming into the training room.
They glanced at themselves and each started training apart.
Runan and Burren also came in and looked around the instruments.
Runan fell alone and grabbed the balloon, and Burren glared at him and went out again.
He went to the place where the wooden sword was, grabbed the wooden sword, and started swinging it.
Whoops!
The collaborators who usually follow Beren followed him and began to unfold the swordsmanship they had learned.
– That guy took the sword.
‘Yes.’
– You don’t catch it?
‘I don’t need it now.’
What he needs now is not a sword, but basic stamina, strength, and agility.
In addition, the swordsmanship skills of the children, including Buren, were not even at the infancy level. Practicing swordsmanship without a leader with clumsy skills is just a waste of time.
Raon didn’t care what other people were doing, and continued to train hard, even though it was boring. Hoping to make more progress tomorrow.
* * *
Runan Sleon is not interested in other people.
It’s not that you ignore others just because you’re talented.
It was because he locked the door of his heart on the day he became so disappointed with the person he trusted.
But recently, someone has caught my attention.
It is not the elf Rimer who was called Sieghard’s lightsaber, nor the Berren Sieghardt whom others call his rival.
Raon Sieghard.
I kept my eyes on him, the son of Sylvia, who was kicked out of the direct line and became a collateral.
‘Why is it snowing?’
First time. Being interested in someone and making him feel friendly.
‘Is it because of the cold?’
He said that there was a terrible cold lingering in Raon’s mana circuit. Perhaps his ability, Frost, was familiar with his coldness.
‘Yes.’
Knowing the reason, Runan was now trying to get his attention.
But the more he did, the more he couldn’t take his eyes off Raon.
‘Growth is fast.’
Raon’s growth rate is out of the ordinary.
When I saw it in the audience a month ago, I was skinny without a single muscle, but now I have some muscle.
‘There.’
He, who was at the bottom of yesterday, caught up with the pace of the low-mid group today.
It is unreasonable to say that he was born with the talent of heaven, and that he grew up so quickly. Conceptually, it didn’t make sense.
“Suck!”
Runan glanced at Raon while gently lifting the 60kg device.
“It’s really weird.”
