Episode 236
The thief approached with weary steps. He placed the sack of gold coins in his hand on the platform and let out a rough breath.
“This is the interest you deserve from that idiot.”
He frowned as he pushed the sack of gold coins inward as if he didn’t like it.
“Well.”
Raon saw Limer panting from behind.
The two of course did not show their skills, and it seems that Limer gave a step to the robber who came for the first time today.
“thank you for your effort.”
He smiled softly and pushed back his pocket of gold.
“As I said, please use this for the operation funds of the Gwangpungdan.”
Raon handed over all the gold coins that the robber had brought.
“Aren’t you going to say something else later?”
“Sure.”
A robber is a person who knows how to call money. If you leave it to him, that money will multiply several times and make the gang affluent.
“It’s been very naughty from day one.”
The thief sharpened his teeth and straightened his back.
“That stupid elf. Tenacity like a leech was added to the weakened subject.”
“It’s the same with inspiration. Why did you get stronger because you’re all old and addicted to the subject of the sword?”
Limer got up and smiled. Seeing that their breathing had subsided in an instant, both of them had a lot of free time left.
Even though the two had an unwanted fight, they didn’t seem to hate each other. Rather, a faint smile lingered on his lips as if he was cool.
“I moved according to your instructions, so I’ll just leave. There’s a lot of work to be done to change this beggar place… .”
“Today’s work hasn’t even started yet.”
“What?”
The thief’s jaw trembles. Their expressions when not gambling were quite diverse.
“Other things are important, but the most urgent task is to raise the power of the Gwangpungdan.”
Raon pointed to the Gwangpung member who was waiting for training preparations.
“Now that training begins, where is the instructor going?”
“You intend to eat this old man to the very bone.”
“It’s a hard earned noble, but you have to use it well.”
“Whoa.”
The robber took a deep breath and leaned his back on the podium. Seeing them folded their arms and nodding their heads, it seemed like they had to hurry.
“thank you.”
Raon nodded at the robber and stood in front of the Gwangpung Team.
“You must have seen the strength of the instructor. This is the first time you show off your skills, so please do your best!”
“All right!”
The prosecutors admired the robber who showed Rimer’s unbeatable strength, so they shouted at the gymnasium to leave.
Raon smiled and drew his sword.
“The regular training begins.”
* * *
Raon approached the podium after completing individual swordsmanship and footwork, examination operation and situational awareness training.
Do-goe was leaning his back on the pedestal in the same posture he had seen for the first time, and Rimer was lying on the pedestal and groaning.
“How did you see it?”
“Are they all your age?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s worth looking at. Especially those three.”
Doki nodded while chinking at Beren, Runan, and Marta in turn.
“When ripe, it is a vessel worthy of making a name for the entire continent.”

Naturally, he understood the skills of the captains at a glance.
“The others aren’t bad either. Even Sighardt has great strength and experience for his age.”
He gave a surprisingly accurate evaluation, saying that the rest of the prosecutors were fine.
“I don’t think it would be boring if I teach these guys. By the way… .”
The thief frowned as he scanned Raon up and down.
“What the hell happened to you?”
“Yes?”
“You grew up with them, so why did you become such a monster by yourself?”
“I’m not really a monster… .”
“If the crazy guy who rose to the rank of Master at the age of 18 isn’t a monster, then who the hell is a monster!”
He waved his hand as if not to laugh.
“It’s thanks to me.”
Limer, who was lying on the podium, lifted her head. Is it because I lost money? face became shriveled.
“This body taught me well, so Raon has become such an ignorant monster.”
“Don’t be funny. How can an idiot like you raise such a monster!”
“Oh, it’s real! Is that Laon?”
“It’s not wrong.”
Raon smiled softly and nodded his head. From swordsmanship and Auror to attitude. Except for gambling, Rimer was definitely a great teacher.
“You used to act like a demon, but now you’re being polite. I don’t know what you really are.”
“I was always courteous.”
“huh. After you roll it up in a stew bowl and eat it!”
The thief opened his arms and snorted.
“Now that you see what you see, think about the training you guys need.”
As if he was about to leave, he removed himself from the platform and loosened his neck.
“You haven’t seen my swordsmanship yet.”
“I saw enough of your sword yesterday. I have nothing to teach you, so do it yourself.”
“Then can I ask you one thing?”
Raon blocked the front of the robber who was about to leave, and his serious eyes lit up.
“Tell me.”
“What is a phantom sword?”
“Well… .”
The thief closed his eyes and furrowed his brow.
“Uh-huh, you’re asking too much of a question.”
A sigh came out. It would have been easier if you asked me to tell you about the phantom sword, how to properly spread the phantom sword, or an important element of the phantom sword. But that guy went through his life with a question. It was a really difficult question to answer.
“I think of it as a fantasy to show the enemy.”
“fantasy?”
“No matter how glamorous and stylish the swordsmanship may be, the goal is ultimately the life of the enemy. It is a phantom sword that shows an illusion that does not exist in reality to the enemy’s eyes and then decapitates him.”
“The enemy’s gaze… .”
“Those who are learning the phantom sword for the first time. No, even those who have practiced the Phantom Sword for a long time are mistaken.”
The thief drew his sword. The blade that extended without even a ready posture rotated roundly and bloomed beautiful jagged petals.
“like this.”
He retrieved the sword and twisted his chin to the side.
“Thinking about how my swordsmanship will look from the point of view of the enemy, not me, is the essence of the phantom sword I think.”
“Well.”
Raon closed his eyes, feeling the remnants of the Auror still in the air.
‘I know what you mean.’
I feel like my head is broken. Not me, the enemy. Thinking about how, in what manner, and with what intentions to show an illusion to the enemy was the true intention of unleashing the best illusion sword.
‘This could be applied to other swordsmanship.’
It was advice that could be applied not only to the phantom sword, but also to other swordsmanship, including the quick sword.
The tone of the robbery was light, but inside there was the trick of the phantom sword that he had learned over the decades.
“It would be nice to use a mirror.”
“okay. The most necessary thing to learn a phantom sword is a mirror rather than a sword.”
“Thanks for the advice.”
Raon bowed his head politely to the thief. I didn’t know you could give me such sincere advice, so I was just grateful.
“done. Because it’s nothing.”
“no. It was really helpful.”
He shook his head once more.
“Well… .”
The blunt robber’s reaction slightly melted as if he was filled with a sincere greeting.
“There is something I didn’t even tell you.”
“What is it?”
“If the governor wins over me by drinking or gambling, I will release him immediately.”
“I, really?”
“sure.”
Raon smiled.
“Then now… .”
“It was over yesterday, but it’s not like I’m doing it right away. This year is over, try next year.”
“Okay!”
He lowered his hand again and bit his lip.
– Huh.
Lars came up on the bracelet and let out a sigh.
-There’s no chance that inspiration will win you over with gambling and alcohol. You gave me hope and made that young man to fulfill his role splendidly. He’s a badass and a bad guy.
The boy shook his head in admiration.
– The king wants to learn how to think like that. Don’t you want to teach?
‘no.’
Raon smiled and took one step closer to the destruction.
“one more.”
He raised his fingers and spoke.
“If you think I can’t live up to your expectations, you can leave at any time.”
“Can’t you meet your expectations?”
“Yes.”
“Are you saying it’s okay for me to leave right now?”
“Of course it is. But I know you won’t.”
Raon smiled softly.
‘I’m not that kind of person.’
Robbery cheats on gambling, ridicules opponents, but doesn’t inflict heavy penalties on losing.
They just take off their clothes and kick them out, and they keep giving them a chance. Even when fighting himself, he never threatened life or attacked deadly places. Seeing that he came here to keep his word, he was a person I could get along with as a human being.
“Big.”
Do-goe furrowed his eyebrows as if he didn’t like it. His ears turned red.
“He really doesn’t like him.”
“I wish you all the best in the future.”
Raon smiled and headed to the place where the Gwangpung Team was to finish the training.
-Oh oh!
Lars fluttered and jumped into the air.
-This time, it’s a mind-bending job! After all, you’re not a human, you belong to a demon! To the king… .
‘Not really.’
He laughed and pushed Lars away.
“That guy.”
The thief looked at Raon’s back and let out a turbid breath.
“What the hell is that guy? What is the real thing?”
The appearance of a seasoned gambler at the gambling house, the devilish figure that performed tricks here, and the polite and polite figure he showed just before were all like other people.
It’s almost confusing which one is the real Raon Sieghard.
“It’s all Raon.”
Rimer waved his hand as if he was familiar with it.
“That guy is like that. From what I’m saying, did you like the inspiration?”
He chuckled and patted the thief on the shoulder.
“huh! I don’t care what that little guy does.”
Do-goe turned his back on the podium with an annoyed expression on his face.
“It makes me sick to my stomach. I will go.”
“for a moment.”
As he was about to leave, Limer grabbed his sleeve.
“I have a place to go with you.”
“Where to go?”
“The Lord called for inspiration.”
Limer pointed to Gajujeon in the distance.
“Did you say that?”
“Why would I bother doing such a thing? The inspiration has returned, but it doesn’t make sense that the headmaster doesn’t know.”
“Well, I should say goodbye.”
The thief scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
“Then you better be careful.”
Limer shook his fingers and sighed.
“I might have a fever.”
* * *
“I see you, Lord.”
The robber knelt before Glenn Sieghard and bowed his head.
“Long time no see.”
Glenn lifted his hand and nodded slightly.
“You seem to have had a lot of good things.”
The thief smiled and got up.
“Good things?”
“You look more lively than before.”
“Are you the only one who ran away saying they wanted to live their life the way they wanted to?”
Glenn smiled coldly and shook his head.
“You said you won’t come back because of old thoughts, so why did you come back?”
“Whew… .”
Doki let out a deep sigh and looked up at Glenn.
“It is thanks to the Lord who knows his grandson very well.”
“What do you mean?”
“Raon Sieghard. That sassy little boy… .”
He told Glenn about the past as if to relieve the resentment he had suffered from Raon.
Rimer smiled faintly as he looked at Do-goo who was complaining and Glenn who was listening to him.
‘I don’t know why the robber is listening to that.’
Glenn already knows everything that happened. He is not curious about the circumstances of the robbery, he just wants to hear Raon’s activities from the robber’s mouth.
‘It’s a great love for grandchildren.’
Glenn was also a really great person, looking outwardly as he valued it so much.
“… So I unintentionally became the governor of the annex.”
Embarrassed, the tortoise took a deep breath.
“Is that kid that good at gambling?”
Glenn asked, raising his brow slightly.
“It’s almost mind-boggling. Even if you fight against a gambler who is famous on the continent, you will never lose.”
Do-goe murmured that he felt despair when he gambled with Raon.
“Then I would never have learned from him.”
Glenn pointed to Limer, who was standing behind him.
“There is a thing called Cheongchuleoram, but that idiot is a Hogu among Hogus. The result itself is different from Raon. Absolutely not.”
“Aha! I said it!”
Limer walked forward and frowned.
“Because I’m a Hogura, I feel a little dirty, but it’s really not me! It wasn’t me who taught Raon to gamble!”
“Great… .”
“Apologize! It still hurts my bones no matter how many times I hit it with that!”
He was struck by lightning three times due to the misunderstanding that he taught Raon to gamble. Witnesses appeared, so I couldn’t go on like this.
“Apologize! Apologize! Apologize!”
Limer struck the air with his fist as if in a protest.
“sorry. I misunderstood.”
“Only in words! Words only! Only in words!”
On this occasion, I raised my voice louder to extract something else. The purpose, of course, was gold coins.
“It’s okay for the sound of a mouthful, so compensate properly… .”
Quarreung!
As Limer reached out to ask for money, a lightning bolt rose and fell on him.
“Aww!”
Limer literally screamed and passed over without even thinking of escaping from the instantaneous lightning strike.
“Ah, the devil… .”
Limer shook her head and shook her head.
‘Because grandfather and grandson are the same.’
If Raon gets a little more brazen, he’ll be like Glenn. They fit so well that they don’t have a grandchild relationship for nothing.
“Harry. There is something I want to ask you.”
Glenn beckoned to Harry without even looking at Limer. A momentum full of discomfort that was different from usual became a wave and swept over the entire auditorium.
“No, tell me.”
In the sudden, heavy atmosphere, the tortoise swallowed dry saliva.
“Were the drinks you drank with Raon delicious?”
“Yes?”
“I met Raon and asked if the drink was delicious.”
“uh… .”
The thief’s eyes fluttered like reeds at the unexpected question.
“Ugh.”
Limer covered her mouth to hold back her laughter.
‘You’re upset that you lost your grandson’s first drink.’
The reason Glenn’s momentum became uncomfortable is because the robber took Raon’s first drink. It was evident that he was angry because his old subordinate had stolen the grandson’s first drink, which he had been waiting for.
“Well, I guess it wasn’t bad.”
The thief nodded slowly.
“not bad?”
Glenn’s voice began to fill with anger-like heat.
“Originally, no one followed the speed of my drinking, but that kid took the lead and provoked me. It was the first time I had experienced such a thing, so it was strange, but I felt that I was not alone. I felt like I was with someone after a long time.”
“Well… .”
“It’s a bit difficult to tell from the point of view that he suffered, but you have taken good care of your grandchildren.”
Unlike before, this is a compliment full of sincerity. As the collapse suddenly lifted Raon, Glenn’s enormous momentum went out like a candle.
“At first, I thought he was a one-day dog who didn’t know the subject, but now he seems like a great tiger who has gone through all the antenatal care at a young age and is aiming for the owner of the mountain. I met a lot of talent while wandering the continent, but the real thing was here.”
Dokai put a hand on his left chest with a faint smile.
“I am sorry to the former owner, but I think we will have to take care of the young owner for a while. I can’t break a promise I made in my name.”
He bowed his head in that position.
“her… .”
Limer blew a blunder.
‘Did you just accept it like this?’
Even though there was no way that he would have known that Raon was a collateral, the robber was sincerely thinking of helping Raon. I think I really liked this experience.
‘Did I even think of the old days?’
It seemed that Do-Kae was looking at Raon and portrayed the time when he was with everyone.
‘He’s really… .’
Perhaps at the end, the saying that you can leave if you don’t like it sounded loud to the thief.
Raon doesn’t know, but those words were similar to what Glenn had said to the thief in the past.
“Great.”
He looked up and looked at Glenn. He was forcibly pulling down the corners of his lips that were about to go up to the sky.
Remer laughed bitterly.
‘At times like this, you are simple.’

Not long ago, he was angry because he lost his grandson’s first drink, but he’s so happy that he’s truly acknowledged Raon, so he doesn’t know what to do. He was an armful grandfather himself.
“Then you didn’t come back to Sieghard… .”
“Yes. I belong to the annex. You should listen to him.”
Doki calmly said that he had entered under Raon, not Sieghart.
“Right.”
Glenn’s lips and eyes fluttered like waves. It meant that I liked it more.
“I was the one who sent you, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Glenn frowned and nodded. Naturally, he covered his mouth with his hand, perhaps to hide the raised corners of his mouth.
“thank you.”
Do-goe politely knelt down and bowed his head as if he had not yet noticed the reaction.
“Limer.”
Glenn called for Rimer with a sultry look in his eyes.
“I have something to tell you too.”
“thank you. The reward was… .
“What other nonsense are you talking about?”
He frowned and waved his hands.
“It’s not about money, it’s about the mission of the Gwangpungdan.”
