Chapter 66
Raon narrowed his eyes.
‘Thank you?’
I can’t understand
He lightly broke the strategy he had worked hard on, won the one-on-one match, and in the end he slapped his chest, but I don’t know why he bowed his head in gratitude.
“It’s a look you don’t know.”
Kane Sighardt smiled as if he knew it.
“I thought I could defeat you unconditionally in this all-out war. So that we can win at any time. It’s because I knew your character and your strength before the match was decided.”
“It was definitely a threat.”
It was effective to figure out Marta and Burren’s personality and swordsmanship, and then come up with a suitable opponent and strategy. If Runan had not been sent, both would have fallen there.
“right. But it was just threatening. I didn’t actually win. I thought it was all over with just one small victory. I never thought that you were smarter than me, and that you could hide your presence, and I didn’t expect Martha and Burren to be so different.”
Kane took a deep breath.
“Finally, I never imagined that I would lose one-on-one with you. While I was recovering, I was confident as an Auror because I only practiced practice, but I still can’t believe it was broken by such a small spark.”
He still thought that the cartoonist was weak. It was an illusion, but I didn’t need to say anything, so I stayed still.
“I learned a lot through this battle. I should always be nervous, always thinking that there may be people who are younger than me, but who are better than me.”
I looked into Kane’s eyes. His eyes are satisfied as if his stomach is filled with delicious food. It seems that everything he has said so far has been sincere.
‘It’s fine for a direct lineage.’
As he said, you should always assume that the enemy may hide their abilities before moving. Even when he was an assassin, he could be called the best because he was prepared for all situations.
“okay.”
Raon nodded to Kane and looked around the restaurant.

Now the 5th and 6th gymnasium trainees were laughing and chatting as if they were friends and eating food.
“What do you think of when you shoot your sword?”
“What do you think? Put it on as you feel it. And turn it off?”
Marta, who was annoyed, reacts a little to see if her mind is relieved when she hears the compliment. very little… .
“If you want to become Sieghard’s swordsman, you should have that kind of willpower.”
“Of course. In order to win, even if the sword is stabbed in the right side, it is the Sighardt prosecutor who gives up the left side as well.”
Burren and Decal were grinning as if they had drunk alcohol.
square square.
Runan was eating fruit after finishing the conversation with Karin. As if he liked it, he piled it up in front of him and ate it, just like a squirrel.
‘that’s interesting.’
It was strange that they fought like they were going to kill each other and became close now.
When I first said that we were all having a dinner together, I thought it would be a funeral atmosphere, but it was the complete opposite. It was no different than a small festival held in the restaurant now.
“You are special too.”
As he was thinking about why, Kane grinned as he ate the chicken.
“what?”
“Aren’t you wondering why the guys we had been fighting with a while ago became so close?”
“Well… .”
“Also.”
Kane nodded as if he knew it.
“Can you tell me why? Because we fought.”
“I know that. But why are you fighting? .”
“No, not just because we fought, but because we fought in the name of Sieghard.”
He pointed to the trainees who were talking about the battle today.
“We are the same Sieghard. We didn’t use any cowardice, and we clashed with all our might to defeat each other. Everyone with swords knows that.”
Leon closed his eyes. That’s literally it. As he clashed his sword with Kane, his attitude was clearly felt. He only wanted victory.
“Since you have given up everything you can do to your opponent, whether you win or lose, you can’t help but feel refreshed. Those guys aren’t pretending to be friendly, they’re just a little bit friendly.”
Kane said those words and drank the juice like a beer.
“is it… .”
A little, but I got a feeling. Why did they look so friendly and why didn’t they understand?
‘Because I haven’t been like this in my previous life.’
Even when he received training as an assassin, he had all-out warfare training.
However, unlike here, the weak lost their lives even during training, so they did not even think about making friends, and were grateful and desperate for surviving day by day.
‘This is probably right.’
These results had to be achieved if they were bound by the same name, collided with each other with their best efforts in the same space, and left no regrets.
On the other hand, what the teaching assistants wanted in their previous lives was not a human being, but a dog that was a good listener. Since the training to kill and kill took place, it was natural for them to doubt and resent each other.
“When we were fighting, I was relaxed like an old man who went through everything before birth, but now he looks like my age. It’s a strange temperament.”
Kane chuckled as he chewed the meat. Rather than making fun of him, it was a face of fun.
“is it.”
Raon smiled. Of course, it was a smile with a different meaning from Kane.
‘I really don’t know.’
The armed forces were getting stronger, and the assassination skills and experience remained in my head, but the human part was inferior to anyone else here. It was a self-deprecating laugh.
“after… .”
I exhaled slowly and looked out the window. The setting sun dazzled my eyes.
Is it because of this situation? Or maybe I heard a word that evoked memories of a previous life.
Old memories come to mind
A time when there was no code name of Raon. A time when I had to hold a dagger in order to survive and struggle with it came to my mind.
The children who tried to kill me in real training. Children who don’t even know their faces by wearing masks may have lived a life like them if they hadn’t been arrested there.
I would have met like-minded friends and had fun laughing and talking. No matter how hard it was, I would have lived a better life than dying like that. My hands trembled in sorrow.
‘okay. All of that… .’
Derus Robert.
It’s because of the old king of the south and that damn conspirator called the Heavenly Swordsman. It’s been a long time since I’ve been angry with him.
“Laon?”
As I bit my teeth, I heard Luna’s clear voice. I was sober.
– tt. That damn little boy gets in the way!
Lars’ voice echoed from the bracelet as if it were a pity. It seems that this guy stimulated the emotions a little in the middle.
‘Anyway, a guy like you.’
– Come on, wait! Why are you quelling that good anger! Pull up a little more! Aren’t you supposed to take revenge? King… .
‘Go away.’
– Ouch! this guy… .
Raon tucked Lars into the bracelet.
“after.”
Although Lars was provoking, this feeling is real. As much as Derus Robert, I will kill him no matter what.
“it’s okay.”
“yes.”
When he smiled softly at Runan, who was looking at him with a fat face, he started eating the fruit again. It eats just like a squirrel.
“Raon Sieghard.”
Kane, who had eaten the whole chicken, knocked on the table and called out his name.
“I have an offer.”
“proposal?”
“Why don’t we try to compete with each other at the gym sometimes like this? One-on-one is good, and I think an all-out war like today is meaningful.”
His voice was a little loud, so the restaurant became quiet. All the trainees who were talking saw this.
“Well… .”
I looked around the children and didn’t see anyone who didn’t like them.
Martha frowned as if not to do it, but she didn’t care because it was just one opinion.
“okay. I think it will be fine.”
“It’s cool too!”
Kane pounded the table and stood up.
“Oh oh!”
“It will be fun in the future!”
“Never lose next time!”
“What are you talking about, I will definitely win next time!”
The voices of the trainees grew louder. Everyone was happy to meet new people.
“Oh shit!”
Only one. Only Marta cursed and looked at Raon.
Raon ignored her gaze and looked to the far right. In fact, the most important figures in Kane’s proposal were thinking differently.
“No, the food here isn’t what you lost in the bet, is it?”
“Of course. Have you ever told me to pay for my meal because I lost the bet even once? I just said mine.”
“You already gave me money.”
“That’s a down payment.”
Rimer and Metun were talking about bets, not about the activities of the trainees today or a point of reflection.
“Where is that law… .”
“This is this, that is that. Basically, the value of the bet is gold coins. Come on, put it out quickly. Calculate the cost of your meal here.”
Limer smiled and held out her hand.
“There is no other elf who reveals money like you.”
“Oh, that’s a compliment.”
“Okay, I need a vase.”
Metun slammed Limer’s hand down with a heavy gold coin pocket.
“thank you. Hogan. No, please use it again next time.”
As soon as Limer got the money, he got up with a beer mug.
“Guys, you worked hard today. Rest tomorrow and see you at the training ground the day after tomorrow!”
He turned his hand around and left the restaurant.
‘Where are you going?’
Raon snorted and followed him.
‘You can’t just let yourself take advantage of it.’
* * *
“If you bet on Raon, you only win.”
Limer headed towards the gambling hall with light steps.
‘Raon is a blessing. belly.’
The trainees were unilaterally pushed back, so I was a little nervous, but it was as expected.
As soon as Raon moved, the unfavorable situation was reversed and he was able to win perfectly. If you only bet on Raon in the future, you will never lose anything.
“It’s a 100% win-win gamble, only the golden calf district is a golden calf! I wish I could do it every day.”
“There is no such gamble in the world.”
“100 million?”
He quickly turned his head to the sound of a muffled voice from behind. Raon looked at the bag of gold coins in his hand with a cold gaze.
“Hey, Laon? Why are you here? Go eat more… .”
“I think you have won a lot by walking from us.”
“Uh… .”
“Isn’t that once or twice?”
“Ugh.”
Both are correct. Thanks to Raon, I got a lot of benefits. No, a bit much.
“half.”
Raon raised a finger and pointed to the gold coin pocket.
“half?”
“It was won because of us, so please use half of the other money for us.”
“Bah, half! Too many!”
“After all, tomorrow will not be half, but only dust.”
“You can win three times!”
“I went to the gambling house and didn’t see what I won.”
The guy snorted. I was upset, but that statement was true. But this time it was different. I feel like my feet are tight.
“I feel good this time. Pick 10 times and take half of them… .”
“It’s done. Half is enough for us.”
“no! all i… .”
“Then I will not be able to cooperate in the future.”
“What?”
“It’s obvious where the instructor will gamble, so he could lose on purpose.”
“You can’t do that… Well.”
Limer swallowed the sullen voice. Those sunken eyes of Raon meant that he was sincere.
‘You did too much.’
Come to think of it, it seems that when I was fighting Burren and Marta, I just picked and wiped my mouth too much.
“I’m not asking for it, I’m buying something for the trainees.”
“Eh, yes. What. What do you need?”
“Today, I felt something as I watched the 6th gymnasts fighting.”
Raon continued speaking with a light smile for the first time.
“What the trainees need… .”
* * *
two days later.
“uh? what’s this?”
“doll?”
“This is a swordsmanship practice doll.”
The trainees lit up their eyes when they saw the dolls installed on the left side of the gymnasium.
“A doll for practicing swordsmanship?”
“okay. If you hit the doll with a sword, the repulsion will come back with more power than that. It is very good for practical practice.”
“really? But why did this happen all of a sudden?”
The trainees tilted their heads as they looked at the doll.
“The instructor bought it.”
“uh?”
“really?”
At Raon’s words, the trainees looked at Limer lying on the pedestal with their eyes startled.
“As you must have felt in this actual battle, when you bump into your opponent, it is easy to miss the sword or get injured on your wrist due to its anti-elasticity. He would have bought it as a response.”
“Ugh!”
“That gambler… .”
“Then with other money the day before yesterday?”
“Instructor… .”
The trainees approached Limer with their eyes touched.
“Well… .”
Even Buren, who doesn’t like Limer, opened his eyes in surprise.
“okay. Work hard.”
Limer waved her hand and smiled weakly.
‘It’s terribly expensive.’
The doll was more expensive than I thought. After buying a few, I had less than half of my gold coins left. And the rest of the gold coins were blown away with excitement. As Raon said, it was really empty.
However, a thin smile was drawn on Rimer’s lips as he saw the trainees having fun playing the dolls.
