Episode 59
As soon as Raon returned, he revised his training plan and headed to Gajujeon.
The huge and old-fashioned door of the audience room before Gajujeon sent pressure on my shoulders even though I had seen it many times.

Not because of the size of the door, but because of the presence of the Absolute within.
“No need to be nervous. You will only say good things today.”
Limer, who was standing behind him, smiled and patted his shoulder.
“Heh heh.”

Next to him, he could hear Luna’s snoring, which was no different than usual. I was trembling when I saved the children, but I wasn’t even the slightest nervous with Gaju in front of me. He’s also an odd guy.
thud.
The door to the audience opened with a roar like the sound of giant footsteps. A strong storm-like momentum surged, and the door fully opened.
Like the flames of a blast furnace, he endured the constant blast of momentum and entered the audience.
oh oh oh!
Glenn, as always, sat on the golden throne, looking down.
“I see you, Lord.”
Starting with Limer’s greeting, Raon and Runan knelt down at the same time.
‘Isn’t that a compliment?’
Raon wrinkled his nose. It was hard to say that he sang because of praise.
“Stand up.”
Glenn waved his hands in a dignified voice.
“Raon Sieghard, Runan Sleon. I heard that you did an excellent job on your first mission.”
“I just did my best.”
“… … .”
Raon shook his head again. Luna followed and lowered his head.
“I have heard of it, but tell me what you did.”
“Yes. When we arrived at the base, there were a total of 4 places where bandits were expected to hide. Bandits in the mountains show the same abilities as beasts, but I wondered if they would have gone somewhere other than the mountains to avoid being pursued. therefore… .”
I told Glenn, who didn’t seem very interested, everything that happened on the mission.
He didn’t lift his head, and he didn’t light up his eyes. I listened to everything with an embarrassingly unresponsiveness.
“Like what I heard. Dealing with an enemy without tension on the first mission and rescuing a hostage is certainly an unusual achievement. but.”
Glenn’s eyes darkened.
“It was a fist bump. If there was a slight mistake, if the bandits were strong, or if the two of you didn’t match, the children would die and you would be seriously injured.”
His heavy voice seemed to weigh on his head.
“Planning is important. The more inexperienced trainees like you, the more you have to plan and move.”
“Yes… .”
“Actually, if you found traces from the beginning, it is right that you should consult with other trainees and give them instructions. Your experience and power are low enough to handle everything by yourself.”
“sorry.”
Raon bowed his head once more.
‘Is this a compliment?’
I heard it was a compliment, but only a few compliments came out at first, but they continued to point out.
“But even if it’s a problematic method, it’s clear that you guys have succeeded.”
Glenn tucked to the side, and his butler, Loen, came and stood in front of him with a golden plate.
“To all of you who successfully completed the mission and saved the hostages, I give you a plaque of the same color.”
“You suffered.”
Loen smiled softly and gave Raon and Runan copper plates.
“thank you.”
Raon and Runan took the cards with both hands and bowed their heads to Glenn.
“Oh, I have one more thing to tell you.”
“what?”
“How about this elixir?”
Raon took out the two-tone flower she brought from Seolho Chaeju. The flower buds that had not yet bloomed were curled up.
Glenn looked down at the two-tone flower and shook his head.
“You saved it. it’s yours Take it.”
“… Yes.”
Raon tilted his head slightly. It’s quite a rare elixir, but I didn’t know that I would hand it over as it is.
“Go away.”
He leaned his back against the backrest and shrugged his chin as if he had finished speaking.
Raon and Runan nodded their heads, and walked backwards and left the audience.
…
There was a moment of silence in the audience room with only the three of them left.
“Puff.”
Rimer couldn’t stand the quiet atmosphere and burst into laughter.
“Why are you laughing? You didn’t even call me, so why did you follow me?”
“No, if you want to hear directly how Raon played an active role, be honest. What excuse are you making?”
Rimer looked at Glenn with a frown and smirked.
‘Because you can’t be honest.’
Glenn knew everything about this mission, as he had already sent the report.
He couldn’t help but laugh at Glenn’s advice, pretending to be angry because he was worried about his grandson.
“Is this Grandpa’s grump?”
“Shut up.”
“Suck!”
Limer covered her mouth with both hands.
“Now, the Lord seems to consider Raon as one of the candidates for his successor.”
“What?”
“When I was a trainee, the individual is more important than taking care of my colleagues. However, it was in the distant future that he asked Raon to guide his colleagues. Isn’t that a preparation for when Raon will challenge the throne of Sieghard?”
“… … .”
Glenn did not respond to Limer’s sharp point. I just quietly looked down at him.
“You seem to really care about Raon. I don’t think it was like that when I was raising the masters… .”
“noisy.”
“Why don’t you be honest now? ‘You did a great job, grandson. Come here to give me a hug If you say ‘Woo-Ju-Ju’, Raon will love it too… .”
“Lee.me.le.”
Glenn’s momentum grew stronger. Not only the auditorium, but the entire Gajujeon began to vibrate.
“Suck!”
Limer erased her smile and stepped back.
“Fufu.”
As Glenn’s energy simmered until just before it exploded, Loen smiled softly and intervened between the two of them.
“It’s nice to see.”
“What is good to see?”
“It’s been almost 30 years since we’ve seen the two of them joking around. It’s been a long time since the headmaster has responded like that.”
Around Loen’s wrinkled eyes, there were memories of the past.
“Well… .”
“Oh, as expected, what do you know, Loen-sama?”
Glenn calmed the momentum, and Rimer repainted the smile he had erased.
“Oh, and there’s something Raon didn’t say.”
“Are you talking about the North-South alliance?”
“Yes. There, the young chaeju heard Raon’s name and went.”
“Why didn’t you stop?”
“Because of Raon’s spirit, he retreated first. It’s not our territory, and it’s kind of hard to catch Raon because he recognizes it.”
“huh.”
Glenn sniffed, but it didn’t look too bad.
“The last thing I want is to be honest with my grandchildren, not anything else.”
“I am always honest with everyone.”
“Ah no. To be honest, it should be like this.”
Limer put her back on her back as if she was acting and coughed ahem.
“Laon. I’m proud of myself for successfully completing my mission. Kiss our grandson grandpa. If you do just this, it’s good for Raon, good for the headmaster, and good for me watching! Everything is good!”
“after… .”
Glenn sighed and got up from his chair. A terrifying wave that seemed to cover the world filled the audience room.
“Hey, I’ll just go. No alcohol, I have an important appointment.”
Limer patted the back of the head and slowly stepped backwards and left the audience.
“Ttt, you’re getting more and more sly.”
Glenn clicked his tongue and lowered his hand.
“Still, it’s good to see you. It was like watching the two of them scold the continent.”
Loen stepped aside and smiled softly.
“Hmm.”
Glenn didn’t speak, arms crossed, and leaned back.
“I think it’s because of Master Raon, so I’m a little more attached to him.”
“It doesn’t matter if you have feelings for yourself, but it is right to treat the heirs and the children under them equally.”
“You are right.”
Loen smiled and bowed her head, then stood up and looked at Glenn. Contrary to what he said, his lips were a little higher than usual.

As soon as Raon left Gajujeon, he headed to the annex.
I thought I would start training right away, but I thought that the first thing to do was to reassure Sylvia and her maids who were worried.
‘I’ve changed a bit too.’
If it had been in a previous life, I would have moved to do the necessary work, regardless of who was waiting.
But after being resurrected, it was different. It was right to think first of those who gave affection in the first place.
When we arrived in front of the annex, we heard a loud noise from inside.
‘This should be like this.’
The annex is noisy and lively in my appearance. I am already starting to feel at ease.
Raon opened the door to the annex with a bright complexion.
“uh?”
I opened my eyes. Inside the annex, there was an unexpected person.
“Dorian?”
Dorian was standing in the lobby, with Sylvia, Helen, and the maids surrounding him.
“Oh, Master, are you here?”
“Why are you here?”
“Ah, my lord stopped by after the mission was over and asked me to tell you what happened.”
“Well, then… .”
“Yes. I told you all about Raon’s impressive performances. Great!”
Dorian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
“young master.”
“Ah, our Master Raon.”
As if he had said it all, the maids were wiping their sleeves around their eyes.
‘this… .’
Sylvia and Helen were worried, so I was going to skip it, but I never imagined that they would make a direct call from there.
“Laon!”
“young master!”
Sylvia and Helen approached at the same time with their hands on their waists.
“Oh, that’s not what I was trying to do… .”
“Well done!”
As she tried to make an excuse, Sylvia hugged her tightly and patted her on the back.
“yes?”
Raon’s eyes widened at the unexpected reaction.
“Did you think I would scold it?”
“I usually just tell you to be careful.”
“The ancestors of the old Sieghard raised their swords for the first time to protect the weak. Since then, Sieghard has been protecting the weak and protecting the people living in the estate.”
A ruby-like light shone from Sylvia’s red eyes.
“My goal was to be a swordsman with the spirit of the old Sieghard, and I can’t scold you for risking your life to save a hostage.”
she held her hand tight The warmth seemed to melt the fatigue away.
“Mom is so proud of you.”
“Mmm!”
“Really!”
“I have work to go to the main building tomorrow, so I’ll brag about it!”
Sylvia hugged her once more, and Helen and her maids nodded with tears in their eyes.
‘I don’t know.’
Leon sighed softly.
‘I think emotions are really difficult.’
However, I did not dislike their warmth.
‘By the way, this guy Dorian.’
He turned to look for Dorian, but he was nowhere to be seen.
– That coward ran away a long time ago.
‘this!’
He’s really fast on one foot.

After eating in the annex, Raon changed clothes and headed to the 5th rehearsal camp. Sylvia and Helen told me to rest today, but I wanted to move.
“Is that kid?”
“That’s right. Raon Sighardt.”
“I have a bad physique, and I have a soft spirit… .”
“It’s true, though, that I defeated the bandits alone.”
“Actually, even though Limer has bluffs, he doesn’t lie like that.”
As they went to the gym, the eyes of the prosecutors were blatant. It seemed that news of this mission had already spread throughout the family.
‘Well, that person… .’
The red-haired elf sighed because it was obvious.
“It is an unusual achievement to deal with 30 bandits with upper-middle-level sword users alone.”
“I would rather get sick than die, but luck must be involved.”
It was a little awkward to hear a word mixed with praise for the first time after hearing insults or disregard every time.
But how you decide your heart and how you feel. I didn’t have to worry about what others said.
Raon went into the 5th rehearsal room, listening to the murmurs of the swordsmen. Of course, there was no one in the gym.
He relaxed his body and drew the sword from his waist. Slowly lifted it up and put the sword in front of the dantian, the middle class. He remembered the last fight while maintaining his basic posture with his sword.
‘It was a little slow.’
Although the bandits became a wall, there was an opportunity to cut off the head of Seolho Chaeju from the beginning. I wasted a lot of time because I was slow to react because I was taking care of the children and the bandits.
What is important in practice is how to demonstrate your original skills. It was good to see this battle as a failure.
‘but… .’
because i knew that

Now that you know what the problem is and how to fix it, you can fill it now.
‘The Auror and the body are a little different, but they are playing separately.’
The body moves as expected, but the aurors follow a little later.
The auror and the body must move at the same time, like two blades of scissors.
woohoo woohoo.
Raon held his breath and slowly raised his sword. The auror that blooms from the dandan moves along with the sword. It was a slow movement, but the air ripped open without mercy.
Even though he didn’t move for a while, Raon’s back was wet with sweat. Since he was moving slowly, more and more power was coming in.
Raon swung his sword slowly until the manga artist’s energy was exhausted.
When the auror was exhausted, he went to the training room and practiced, then came out again and swung the sword again. The first day I came back was wet with sweat.

A small bar tucked away in a back alley in the Sieghart estate. In the tavern, which was supposed to be noisy with the voices of several people, only one man’s voice could be heard.
“… That’s how our kids rescued the kids from the bandits. The way of the bandit leader is young, but Raon cut the way in half!”
As if a red-haired elf climbed up to the table and gave a speech, he told the story of Raon and Runan. When I saw his face turned red, he was very drunk.
“Oh oh!”
“Remer, have you found your aptitude? You taught them well.”
“Ah, it’s not that I met the disciples well.”
“but. I am not an elf who will become a good teacher.”
People who looked like ordinary residents, not even prosecutors, grinned.
“Both. both! My students are the best among Sieghard practitioners now. No, no matter where you go, you won’t lose!”
Limer smiled and poured the beer into her mouth. People who said it was natural and those who said that the 6th gymnasium or other powers were not formidable started an argument.
“Hey, don’t fight, and if you’ve heard an interesting story, give the story price. He said he lost everything after walking on the 5th horse, today’s revenge battle… .”
A gold coin fell on the table as he put down his empty beer mug, grimacing.
“yes?”
Limer looked at the gold coin and raised her head.
A man with a harsh face, wide shoulders, and the impression of a general on the battlefield. 6 It was Metun, the chief instructor of the gymnasium.
“Metun? long time no see.”
“okay.”
Metun nodded slowly.
“Well, thanks anyway.”
“… … .”
“Uh, can you let go now?”
Metun tried to pick up the gold coins he had left on the table, but his fingers couldn’t pick it up.
“Can you take responsibility for that word?”
“What do you mean?”
“The 5 dance halls are said to be the strongest among Sieghart trainees.”
“Of course our kids are the best.”
“You like to bet.”
Metun’s eyes grew hot.
“Would you like to make a bet with me?”
