Episode 46
Raon rushed forward and lowered his sword. The blazing red blade ripped through the evening air relentlessly.
Cheeky!
The reverberation of the Aurors that had pierced the air scraped the dance floor like the claws of a beast.
It was a charge-type swordsmanship that combined soft swordsmanship and the last herbivore of the garambo method.
‘Not bad.’
Raon swung his sword and nodded. It was a swordsmanship that had good power and speed and was difficult to block even when looking at it.
‘Of course that’s not all.’
This herbivore is a surprise type that can be unfolded at any time, like a sword hidden behind a back.
Whether the temperament of an assassin still remains, it seems inevitable that a surprise attack will be in mind.
Heung Heung.
I turned my head to the sound of a snort coming from behind. Runan was looking at his sword with squinting eyes.
The lower part of those dazzling eyes sparkled slightly. A look of hope. It seemed like he was asking me to teach swordsmanship.
“Suck!”
Runan slammed the ground and threw his sword into the air as if trying to imitate him.

No speed, no power, no surprises, just the posture. However, since he is such a talented and talented guy, he became a herbivore that would be difficult to stop.
“right?”
After swinging the sword a few more times, Runan shook his head slightly and asked if this was true.
“Don’t do that, first the legs… .”
If it were like that, I might kill someone while fighting, so I just looked at her posture.
Whoops!
A cool breeze blew over the wall of the gym when he held Runan’s posture to some extent. It was Limer.
When he arrives on time, he kicks in the door, and when he is late, he climbs over the wall.
This means that the training end time has passed a little now.
“Well!”
Limer sat on the podium and looked down at the trainees.
“Instructor. You are ten minutes late.”
“You did a great job training today.”
He turned his head, pretending not to hear Burren’s point.
“10 minutes is enough time to swing a sword ten thousand times.”
“Ah, that’s not it! Ouch!”
Limer frowned in response to Burren’s absurd remarks. It was the expression of being hit.
“Hey, anyway, I have two pieces of news for you today. The first one is about the 6 gymnasium.”
“Six gymnastics?”
“Why are you there all of a sudden?”
“That’s where the guys who fell from here went.”
The trainees shook their heads, asking why they were talking about the gymnasium where the felled guys went.
“It seems that the Owen Kingdom’s delegation ignores the 6th exercise field and applies only for the 5th exercise, so it seems that his pride has been hurt. It is said that they train to the brim to catch up with us.”
Rimer laughed, saying that the trainees in the 6th dance hall were proud.
“The direct and collateral, who were left behind due to injuries, also joined, and it is said that only difficult training is being carried out, so we must not be vigilant. Do your best in every moment so that they don’t catch up with them.”
“Yes.”
“Eh… .”
“Well, you should be able to catch up.”
The trainees pouted their mouths. There was already a long difference, but it was as if they were preparing for something.
“Huh.”
Rimer nodded as if he knew it, and delivered the second news.
“I’m going to have a very special training next week.”
“Uh, what is it?”
Dorian, already frightened, shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s special training.”
“what? What do you have left to do?”
Because Rimer had done so many strange things, not only Dorian but all the trainees were anxious.
“That’s a secret.”
“ah… .”
“Instructor. You have to tell me in advance what kind of training it is, so you can prepare accordingly.”
Burren raised his hand and spoke of the truth, but of course it did not work for Limer.
“Isn’t it fun to tell you? If you practice hard, you can achieve anything.”
“Well… .”
It was true, but Burren pursed her lips and lowered her hand.
“But if I could give you a hint… .”
Limer spread her fingers and smiled. It was not a light or cheerful smile as usual, but a smile with a strong fighting spirit.
“It’s practical.”
“Practical?”
“suddenly?”
The trainees’ eyes widened when he said that it was not a match, but a real battle.
“Not all of a sudden, now is the time to do it. I told you I was ready, so please tell me for sure.”
The smirk that had hovered around Limer’s lips began to dissipate. The grimness beyond seriousness was young in the smile.
“You’d better be prepared to see the blood this time.”
* * *
After training, Rimer left the family and headed to the western outskirts of the entertainment district.
The entertainment district was a place where prosecutors and workers went to relax, and there were a variety of shops, restaurants, and pubs.
He walked down the street humming a hum and entered a tavern named Magnolia at the eastern end.
Contrary to its elegant name, the tavern was old and dirty. The place was full, and the sound of people talking was almost deafening.
Limer nodded as if enjoying the promiscuous atmosphere and approached the middle-aged man sitting alone on the right.
“Come quickly.”
He smiled as he sat in the front seat of the middle-aged man.
“The only thing left for wizards is time.”
A middle-aged man in a black robe was reading a book and shook his head.
“Long time no see. Limer.”
“potman. how have you been doing?”
“Hey, I’m playing and eating.”
“After becoming a butcher, you are very relaxed, aren’t you?”
“Heh heh, isn’t it Limer-sama who has a lot of leeway? Who coined the term ‘payroll thief’?”
The middle-aged man closed the book and smiled.
“I’m a bit busy these days, so I miss the days when I only had a drink with you.”
“I heard that you spend a lot of time with your trainees. They take care of you with all your heart.”
“Not that much.”
The conversation between the two was as smooth as velvet whether they were close friends.
“Bervin. What are you doing these days?”
“Limer-nim doesn’t come to drinks, so I’m living with the pleasure of reading books.”
A man named Verbin waved the book in his hand.
“Because all I have to do at the tower is research and read books.”
“but.”
Limer looked at the magic book in Verbin’s hand and nodded.
“So what did you call me today? Looking at his face, it doesn’t seem like he’s just going to drink or drink.”
“I was a little drunk, and I had a request.”
“Please?”
“My kids have improved quite a bit, so I’m going to try them out with monsters.”
“Well, if that’s the case, you can make a formal request.”
Verbin tilted his head. One of the official curriculum is to have trainees battle monsters. There was no need to come and ask.
“I want to add a few things to that.”
“What if I said add?”
“Our kids are a little strong, so monsters aren’t very helpful.”
“Ah, I heard that you knocked out the cultivators of the Owen Kingdom.”
“Well, yes.”
Rimer raised his nose and smirked. Hearing the applause of the disciples from an old friend made me feel as if I was drunk.
“I want to strengthen the monsters that will compete with the trainees. To the advanced level of a sword beginner.”
“Available. The specialization of the guy who entered the tower a few years ago is monster summoning and operation. You can even make an earthworm like a dragon.”
“Hey, is that going to happen?”
“It’s a joke.”
“Oh, you really… .”
“You can’t make an earthworm like a dragon, but you can make an orc a beginner. Of course not many, only one at a time.”
Verbin muttered that it wasn’t too difficult.
“Thank you and one more.”
“What?”
“Can you cast illusion magic to make the monster look like a human?”
“It’s easy, too. Because they’re not even experts yet. It is possible with only one artifact enchanted with illusions.”
“Okay. Then do it too.”
Limer snapped her fingers and drank the beer placed on the table at once.
“But wouldn’t it be a difficult ordeal for trainees to overcome if reinforcement and illusion were used at the same time?”
Verbin touched the glass and narrowed his eyes.
“Just fighting an orc with enhanced physical abilities would give you strength, but if they looked like humans, they wouldn’t be able to wield their swords properly.”
“Kyaa! I live by this taste!”
Limer slammed the beer mug down on the table and let out a sigh.
“What did you say?”
“The trainees said it would be difficult to win. It’s like strengthening monsters, but it’s difficult for young children to kill monsters that look like humans.”
“it’s okay. Our children are not children, they are prosecutors. and… .”
Rimer laughed. The dark green eyes were filled with anticipation and joy.
“They are strong. body and mind.”
* * *
The magic lamp cleared the darkness that had descended on the 5 dance hall.
Most of the trainees returned to their homes, but there were still some children who remained and wielded swords.
Lunan Slein was one of them. I stayed at the dance hall and practiced the stab that Raon showed me.
Paang!
Runan lowered his posture and raised his sword. A fast, powerful sword strike pierced the air, but this wasn’t the feeling.
‘It’s not good.’
Raon’s stab was soft and relaxed rather than strong. It’s so natural that you don’t even know that a stab is coming.

No matter how many times I try, I don’t know how to do it.
I looked towards the indoor training ground. Raon is currently doing strength training. I didn’t want to disturb.
‘Let’s do it a few more times.’
Runan took a new stance and stabbed his sword into the air. I changed my posture, but the swordsmanship didn’t change that much.
‘again.’
The sound of the blade piercing through the air changed slightly. The speed and power were slightly reduced, but the edge of the sword had a sense of leeway.
‘It’s been a while.’
Runan nodded broadly and grabbed the sword. He continued to repeat the same posture and drew his sword.
She stopped her hand until the moon rising from the east rose over two fingers.
“Whoa.”
Luna nodded her head.
‘It’s been a while.’
It was a long way to catch up with Raon, but the final herbivore of soft swordsmanship has definitely changed. The power and speed were reduced, but the linkage and smoothness were much better.
“Well.”
Runan looked at the indoor training center again. The lights were still on, and Raon, Beren, and Marta could hear their cheers.
As I pondered for a moment what to do, I remembered my mother’s words.
-I’m going to buy you some ice cream. Come soon for the weekend.
‘Go.’
Runan immediately put in the training sword. I decided to ask about the missing part next week and left the gymnasium.
It was time to run to the outside of the gymnasium to quickly return to the place where the maids were waiting. A man’s shadow shone in the dark alley.
“Lunan.”
As she was about to ignore it, a shadow stepped out and called her name.
“ah… .”
Runan stood tall. Her always fierce eyes fluttered as if hit by a wave.
A man appeared. Short silver hair and dark purple eyes. It was a young man with a similar appearance to Luna.
“Five… bar?”
“It’s been a long time.”
Runan trembled and took a step back, and the man took three steps with a soft smile.
Syrian Slion.
Runan’s older brother, he was called the greatest genius of the Sleon family, and he was a man named in the Twelve Stars of the Continent.
“ah… .”
However, after seeing Syria in a long time, Runan’s face was pale and tired. As if facing a mighty enemy, not an older brother.
“Lunan. Did I tell you not to make a face like that?”
Syria grinned. The smile is relaxed and the tone is soft.
But if you look closely at his expression, you will feel something eerie. Unlike his mouth, his eyes were not smiling at all.
“eww… .”
Runan clenched his teeth and bowed his head. Her purple eyes, which had been trembling as if forcibly calming her shaking emotions, subsided.
“okay. so be it.”
Syrian smiled and patted Runan’s head.
“It looks like Rimer’s training is going well. You are stronger than you think.”
He bent down and met Luna’s eyes.
At that moment, the mask fell from Syria’s face. His expression hardened like a rotten tree, and the color disappeared from his eyes. It was like seeing a monster with worn out emotions.
“But it’s not like going to the battlefield or fighting a life-threatening match, right?”
The voice changes. It is a voice that is as dry as the scorching wind in the desert that dries up life.
“Ahh… .”
Luna’s shoulders trembled. He grabbed my hand and took a step back.
“Hmm, is it a little loose? I have to re-engraved it.”
Syria put her hand into the inside pocket of her coat. A round-eyed squirrel was caught in his hand.
“Isn’t the name of the squirrel you raised a long time ago Ruby?”
“Oh, brother?”
Runan stopped stepping backwards. He reached out to catch the squirrel.
“Now you will remember. How did Ruby die? Why are you afraid of blood?”
“Come on, wait!”
Syria smiled with her eyes stopped and gave strength to her right hand. There was only a handful of blood left in his hand, which was holding the squirrel with a peep sound.
“Aaah!”
Runan screamed and collapsed, but no one could hear it because of the diaphragm installed by Syria.
“Lunan.”
Syria approached Runan, who sat down. He put his mouth to her ear and whispered a lifeless voice.
“You are mine. until the set day comes. Do not do anything dangerous or difficult.”
“ah… .”
“Just breathe until I want… .”
Quang!
A roar echoed in the alley as Syria tried to engrave the brainwashing words on Runan.
The floor was squashed and a blond boy emerged from the rising sand. He looked at Syria with his red eyes.
“What are you?”
