Chapter 58
“Hey, those kids are hostages held by bandits?”
Burren’s blue eyes swelled as if they were about to pop out.
“Saving the hostages means you found the bandits! Do not lie!”
Martha pushed her face away, telling her not to say nonsense.
Two people. No, all the trainees in the base could not believe that Raon and Runan had rescued the child from the bandits, and their eyes became blank.
“Think of it.”
Raon smiled and took the children to the bonfire.
“Rest here for now.”
They put the children in front of the fire and handed them the jerky that Sylvia and Helen had wrapped.
“Fill your stomach with this.”
“Go, thank you.”
“Thank you.”
The boy bowed his head, and the girl shook her head the same way.
The two children stayed silent and then began to munch on the jerky. Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes as the sadness came over me.
“Dorian.”
“to? Yes!”
“Do you have a blanket? clean.”
“Of course it is.”
“Thank you.”
Dorian pulled a long green blanket from his belly pocket. I covered the shoulders of the two children with blankets.
“Eat this too.”
Runan knelt down and looked at the children. I took the lid of the ice cream box out of the bag and held it out.
Only two ice cream balls left. It left only her favorite flavor, but there was no hesitation in her gestures.
“what’s this?”
The girl tilted her head.
“It’s ice cream.”
Runan said it was cool and delicious, washed the child’s hands and handed him the ice cream.
“Ouch!”
The girl swung her tongue over the ice cream and screamed. Of course, it’s a pleasant scream. It started to eat the ice cream, flapping its little tongue like a kitten.
“Ouch!”
The boy also took a bite of ice cream and opened his eyes. But instead of continuing to eat, he handed over the remaining ice cream to his younger sister, who enjoyed the ice cream.
Raon savored the sight of the two children. the tip of the tongue wrote.
‘I’ve grown up.’
Seeing that he took care of his younger brother first even when he was with bandits and even eating ice cream, the boy who lost his parents had already become an adult.
Raon patted the boy on the shoulder, thinking that he was better than the one he had in his previous life, who only followed Derus Robert’s instructions.
-Huh, to escape the temptation of ice cream that even the real king has missed, he’s going to be a big guy. Grab that guy Like it.
Lars murmured that he wanted to have that boy as his subordinate.
“Black!”
I shook my head at the sound of a whistle. Dorian was looking at the children with tears in their eyes.
“Eat all of this!”
He took out all the snacks he had usually brought from his stomach pocket and piled them up in front of the children. he’s a kind guy
“You saved the children, you have to deal with the remaining bandits. If you make sure you rescue the hostage, you will surely run away.”
“okay. where are those bastards I will break every branch of those human scum.”
As they watched the children eating sweets, Burren approached them with heat and Marta with anger. He tapped the scabbard as if to guide the bandit quickly.
“it’s okay.”
“Are you okay? The mission must be completed with certainty… .”
“What is this again?”
As Burren was about to argue, Limer and his instructors came out of the forest on the mountain side. Only the three remaining instructors were not seen to clean up the traces of the bandits.
“What children?”
He and the instructors tilted their heads, pretending they didn’t know anything.
‘Because I knew everything.’
Raon frowned slightly. There are still not many auras, so he couldn’t pinpoint Rimer’s position, but he was definitely watching him.
“You don’t know?”
“What?”
Rimer shrugged his shoulders as if he knew nothing.
“I saved it with Raon.”
Runan approached Limer and nodded.
“You saved these children?”
“yes.”
“how?”
“Didn’t you listen to the other instructors?”
“Ah, I see, I can’t see the three of them. Where did you go?”
“Hey, I’ll tell you.”
Raon sighed and stood up. Looking at Limer’s expression, it seemed that he wanted to speak in front of other people.
“We found traces of bandits in the forest inside the hill, and then started tracking them. It was an almost invisible trail, but after pursuing it to the end, I found bandits deep in the forest.”
Step by step, he explained everything that happened while tracking today.
“… After killing Seol Ho Chae-ju, I returned with my children.”
Hearing his explanation, silence fell in the vacant lot.
“No, that’s absurd… .”
Burren swallowed dry saliva.
‘To finish the mission itself while I was fooling around… .’
It is said that while he was wasting time, Raon saved the hostages and killed all the bandits. It was hard to believe, but the circumstances made it impossible not to believe it.
“shit!”
I didn’t know about training or Dalian, but I promised myself that I would do better than Raon in actual missions, but this time I failed.

No, it wasn’t a failure, it wasn’t a match at all. I was so pathetic that I was so proud of myself that I couldn’t stand it.
“Shit! Damn it!”
Martha turned around and smashed the tree with her fist. The bark cracked and fell to the ground.
‘That’s not a lie.’
The Raon I’ve seen so far has a personality that doesn’t lie. It was clear that he and Runan had returned after saving the hostages and clearing out the bandits.
‘Like an idiot!’
While he was having a childish argument with Burren, he was furious enough to cry when he found out that Raon and Runan had risked their lives to fight.
‘I was going to finish this time.’
By completing this mission perfectly, he tried to void his promise to follow Raon, but he was defeated. I had no excuses.
“Whoa… .”
As Marta acknowledged that she had lost to Raon, she let out a sweet smell from her mouth and sighed.
“Ho, you killed all the bandits alone?”
“You tracked it yourself and saved the hostage… .”
“What the hell are you doing!”
The trainees’ jaws trembled. Everyone couldn’t help but look at Raon and Runan in surprise.
“Really?”
One of the instructors approached Raon. A face that really doesn’t know anything. I think it was the instructor who was watching the other children.
“Seol Ho-chae’s Chae-ju’s force level is intermediate to high for sword users, how did you win? Have you been wrong?”
“no.”
“How are you sure?”
“Let’s see for yourself.”
Raon pointed to the furoshiki, which could also be called loot.
“Well.”
The instructor nodded and opened the cloth.
‘Red hair and big scars around the eyes.’
It coincided with the impression of Seol Ho Chae-ju, which was transmitted when receiving the mission. His eyes flashed violently as he looked back at Raon.
“… I’m sure.”
The instructor swallowed dry saliva and approached Raon.
“Well, it was a confirmation for a mission, so I hope you don’t feel bad.”
“of course.”
When Raon nodded, the instructor greeted each other and returned to Limer.
‘Perhaps Rimer made it.’
Raon looked at Limer’s playful eyes and knew that he had ordered it. Maybe it’s to convince people who don’t believe it or are suspicious of it.
Perhaps because of that, there was little admiration and surprise in the eyes of the trainees looking at themselves and Runan.
‘Why?’
Rimer was more than just an instructor and a trainee, he was kind to him. It’s so different from the instructors I met in my previous life, I honestly don’t know what it means.
“Then the mission is over?”
“But we haven’t done anything… .”
“Um, can I go on like this… .”
The trainees liked the idea that they could now go home and sleep comfortably, but their faces were overshadowed by doing nothing.
“What are you so disappointed in?”
Rimer smiled as he looked at the trainees who stood awkwardly.
“I rarely show my ability or play an active part in my first mission. Even the instructors here made mistakes or did nothing on the first mission.”
The instructors nodded as if they were right.
“Then what about Raon and Luna?”
“Right. You two are finished.”
“Well, sometimes there are monsters. What do you do when you’re already used to it? Actually, I was also active from the first mission. I was very upset. Grab a sword and attack the enemy camp… .”
Rimer giggled and started talking about his first mission.
– The story of that old-timer isn’t that great. When the main king was in the Demon Realm, the legend that the castle was frozen in the first battle… .
“ha… .”
Raon shook his head. As I listened to the two chatters, my eardrums began to hurt.
* * *
Rimer declared the end of the mission and said that he would return to the family tomorrow.
The trainees immediately prepared a meal, and Runan and the children soon became close and ate together.
Rimer approached me while I was eating dinner that I didn’t know whether it was killed or stewed separately.
“Good work.”
He flopped down next to him, holding a bowl full of ingredients.
“Because it was a mission.”
“It seems like a mountain of guys who have obtained the qualifications of a prosecutor and still can’t complete their missions, but you are as good as you are. Of course, there were some shortcomings.”
Limer took a bite of the porridge. He murmured, “It tastes bad,” and put the bowl next to him.
“Bandits are not as easy opponents as they appear in the story. He uses mountains well as an elf, and his poison is not overtaken by orcs. Those who belong to the North and South Korea, or those who aim for it, are even more so.”
“Yes.”
Raon nodded quietly.
“The improvisation in saving the children was definitely good, but if there were more than an expert there, it would have been you and Runan who would have died.”
“You were watching too.”
“Well, somehow.”
Limer smiled and continued.
“Today went well. However, in the future, whether the opponent’s strength, number, and hostages exist. Check the hostage’s condition and decide whether to move alone or call someone else. you are senior It would be good to develop that judgment in the future.”
It’s not wrong. I’ve tried killing countless times, but it was my first time rescuing a hostage, so I was a little lacking.
In Sieghard, moving with colleagues is more common than moving alone, so you need to develop your judgment at the right time.
“You don’t have to harden your face like that. Because you and Runan showed the best movement. You will be big.”
“thank you.”
Limer raised a thumb. Raon quietly closed his eyes to receive his praise.
“Oh, and I think I will take those children to the family. He said that his whole family was dead and he had nowhere to go.”
“Is that so… .”
Raon scratched the floor with his hand. Even though it was a man, my heart ached to the extent that it was strange.
“Now that I’m pretty close with Runan, I’m going to ask the Sleon family to take care of him.”
“That would be fine.”
The children followed Runan well. If so, it wouldn’t be too bad.
“Raon Sieghard.”
As I was about to eat porridge to calm my chapped chest, Beren came to me after finishing my meal and opened my mouth.
“I admit it. Today is a complete loss. You and Runan finished the mission while I was out of alignment like a broken clock. However!”
He raised his clenched fists.
“I don’t give up. Even if I throw away thousands of water lilies, I will catch up with you!”
“uh… .”
Burren turned around without hearing an answer. As it was, he went back to where the trainees were.
“what?”
what water lily?
I didn’t know what to say, so when I picked up a spoon to eat, I heard a snorting sound from a wooden pole on the right. It was Martha. She had her arms crossed with a cold expression on her face.
“I’m sorry.”
She went into the forest without telling who exactly she was talking to.
“You’re living a very troublesome life.”
Limer smiled and put down the soup bowl. He said it was tasteless and the bowl was empty.
“For whom?”
Raon frowned. He had his instructors stimulate the trainees, and he pretended not to know and trembled.
“For whom?”
Rimer chuckled and asked.
“At your age, you have rivals and you grow up well. In the future, I will become a more reliable colleague than anyone else, so stay close.”
He left those words and disappeared with the green wind.
– It’s a rival… .
As soon as Limer left, Lars jumped out of the bracelet.
– Even the king had 6 rivals. Of course, the strongest is the main king, but they have their own… .”
“… … .”
Raon sighed and put the finished bowl on top.
Why are there so many crazy people around me… .
* * *
Raon and the trainees returned to their families after a week. There were some trainees who were concerned about not being active in their missions, but most of them started to see a smile on their faces at the thought that they could sleep comfortably.
Whoo!
The main gate of Sieghart, which seemed to have overlapped pylons, opened grandly. As the gatekeeper cleared the way, a huge man over 2m tall came out from inside. It was Foreign Minister Illiun.
“Lunan Sleon, Raon Sieghard.”
He sang Raon and Runan, who were standing in the back, and his eyes lit up.
“The Lord has called you two. Get ready to enlist in Gajujeon right now.”
“call?”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Runan holding the two children’s hands. Runan tilted his head, not knowing why.
“No need to be surprised.”
Foreign Minister Illiun smiled coolly.
“It’s the tradition of Sieghard to give prizes to trainees who perform the most in their first mission.”
“right. I’m calling you to compliment you, so don’t be nervous.”
Limer nodded her head with a slightly excited expression and muttered that it was nothing special.
However, there was something neither Limer nor Iliun said.
It is a real thing to praise trainees who have excelled in their first mission, but it is the first time that they have called those trainees to Gajujeon.
