18 Episode 9. What the hell is the eye of the mind? (1)

Four years after Jin came to her home, it was the early summer of 1794.

"This is the end of your training today. Thank you for your hard work."

"Huuu, Gar론n. Has it already been that way?"

Garon Altemiro.

This young seven-star knight is a figure who teaches the basics of swordsmanship in the Sword Garden.

Like Qin, Looncandel, who left the storm castle and entered his home, as well as young authorities who would become guardian knights in the future. Every Looncandel had to undergo basic training from Garon.

"Haha, not already. Master, look at the guardians next to you. They all look like they're going to die."

Jean looked around. There were boys and girls of the same age who were just 14 years old. As Garon said, they are all sweating and barely vomiting.

'Well, it was hard for me, too.’

Garon's training, which was newly appointed two years ago, was well-known for its tightness.

Many of those who became guardians of Looncandel after overcoming a huge competition rate were left behind because they could not endure Garon's training.

That's what happened in my previous life. Jean could not keep up with Garon's training and was personally coached by her brothers. At first glance, it seems to enjoy privilege, but it was an unparalleled shame as Looncandel.

It's a shame that I only received personal guidance because I couldn't even do what everyone else did. Of course, even the personal map showed a terrible performance, which was later completely prevented.

Jin shook his head once, thinking of those days.

"In addition, do you have to train Miss Luna in the afternoon?"

Jean nodded as Garon finished talking.

Jin is currently being coached by his first sister, Luna Looncandel, in addition to Garon's training.

But it's not a shameful personal map as in previous life. Luna, who recognized the frightening pace of Jin's growth, claimed it herself. This time, it is not a shame, but an honorable achievement.

The guards envy and yearning, and the brothers envy and envy.

"Right. Well, I guess I'll just have to eat.”

"Are you eating with the cadets today as well? Every time Lord Rosa seems to be sorry...….”

"It's these guys who hang out with me every day, not the brothers who fight at the table."

"Okay, Master."

The servants began to bring their meals to the training ground.

Rice, vegetables, and meat in a large iron can. It's a crude meal, but it's all made of top-grade ingredients.

Guardian knights were lined up to receive food. It was the job of a boy named "Belop" to get Jin's share instead.

"Thank you."

"No, sir."

"What do you mean no? Sit down, let's eat."

Belop Schmidt. He's 13 years younger than Jean, and he's from the common people.

And, as it was, he was destined to be disqualified from training soon after and deported from Kim's garden.

Before the return, that was the case with Belop's life that Jean had seen.

"Delicious?"

"Of course, I'm always grateful to Looncandel for allowing me to eat this kind of meat, and to my youngest child, who always gives me your share of the meat.….”

"Stop, stop. Ha. How can you answer the same thing every time without hearing a word of vomit? Are you memorizing it?"

Bellop blushed, coughing in vain.

"Sometimes you have to know how to act plainly, Belov. Every time you're talking about it, other guys keep ignoring you.”

"Well, is that so?….”

"Stretch your shoulders. Take pride in being a cadet of the Looncandel guardian."

"But I'm at the bottom of my grade. It's not even one star yet...….”

"Please. Being a Looncandel cadet in Echo, it's not something anyone can do?"

There is a lot of shame, no confidence can be found, and gentle is nowhere to be found. That's what Jean looked at as Bellop's character.

So Jean was even more doubtful.

"Well, that's why the family didn't recognize him. How did this gentle creature become the infamous Imperial Guard of the Beacon Empire?’

Before the return, there was a great reversal in Belop's life, which was banished from Looncandel.

Belop Schmidt, who was expelled after passing the Junior College Scholastic Ability Test as a virtue, always hovered at the bottom of the training camp. Afterwards, another swordsman, "Hai Lan," was spotted.

The Highlands are the best swordsmen in the Empire.

And one of the greatest aristocratic families in Beemment. Belop's talent blossomed late there, and he became a member of the fraternity and gained the reputation of being "the loyal dog of the Beacon."

bison's loyal dog

It's hard to tell what the exiled Bellop went through in the Highlands.

Belop, who gained the distinction, was no longer a timid boy whom Jean knew. He led the True Guards at the emperor's command and slaughtered countless human beings, never showing mercy.

And a year before Jean died suddenly in the kingdom of Arkin. Bellop ended the bloodstained unhappy life on his own. leaving a pen of penitence which cannot be disclosed to the world

"When I heard that he was a pro-guard, I was shocked and bitter when I heard he killed himself.’

Jean glanced around. And as soon as he confirmed that no one was looking at him, he handed all the remaining meat to Belov.

"Uh, Master."

"Shh. I have no appetite."

Jean stared at Bellop, pretending to eat until the meal was over.

'Belop Schmitz......... I'll take good care of myself so that I won't be left behind this time.’

Not just to not miss talent.

Jean was feeling a little homogeneity with Belov. Although he belatedly discovered his talent, his life ended in an unhappy way.

'If you're a potential ally, it's no harm keeping you by my side by side. There will be many days for the guards to stay with them anyway.’

Rather than make it a Beacon's murder doll. It would be a better result for Jin and Bellop to lead him as a guardian of Looncandel.

When Jean got up after the meal, Garon stuck to her side.

"See you tomorrow. Oh, and tomorrow we're going to have a training session."

"Okay, Garon. Good luck."

"Yes."

Back in the room, Gilly, who had prepared bath water and clothes for change, was waiting.

"Good work in the morning training, young master. The first lady's training starts in three hours."

"Yes, strawberry-flavored...….”

Jean, who had said so far, stopped walking.

"Damn, Murakan calls me Strawberry Pies so much. You're talking to me too...…!”

"Oh, you're here, kid."

As I turned my head, I saw Murakan lying on the sofa and rummaging through the Chunhwa House.

"You crazy dragon, what are you looking at since broad daylight?”

"This? It's a limited-edition bunch of choon-hwa that I had a hard time finding this time. Haha, let me know if you need me. Fourteen is the time of the year.….”

"And, I. Most likely at home, cat transformation. Did I tell you to keep it or not? What if someone sees it?"

"I'm not getting caught, I'm not. I have a right to freedom, too, huh? Come here and take a look at this. This green guy, I'm worried about kidnapping you."

Watching him focus on Chun-hwa with a big smile, his desire to get a punch is soaring.

However, you can't hit a dragon that has lived thousands more years than you do. Jean sighed low and leaned beside Murakan.

"Well, that's great. How much did you pay for it?”

"Was it a hundred gold coins...…?”

"Oh, yeah? A hundred gold coins. A bag of gold coins... Dog. Where did you get that money?"

"I borrowed it from a strawberry pie. Wow, Looncandel nanny's salary was enormous."

When Jean turned to Gilly, she only coughed in vain.

"Hu, if you need money from now on, don't rip it off from Gilly and tell me.”

"Really? Then I'll take a thousand gold coins for now."

"I'll give you a report that says you need a thousand gold coins. Gilly, and I'd like a simple meal, please."

Murakan covered the spring house at the same speed as the light and began writing reports straight away. The sight of her muttering something alone almost made me feel a creepy obsession, so Jean threw out her tongue.

"Didn't you eat it?”

"I did eat, but I'm at the height of my growth."

"What should I prepare?”

"It's just a sandwich."

"Strawberry pie, I'll have strawberry pie, please."

An hour passed when I ate.

Before Luna's training began, for two hours Jin trained alone in the release of Young-ki from one side of the room.

"Emancipation is now two stars away......four stars for mana, two for swordmanship.

After leaving the storm, it is the result of the last four years.

Young-ki emancipation is in the midst of Murakan's remarkable rapid progress, but mana has developed too slowly for Jin to feel. You can't use magic in the Sword Garden, so you can't help it.

Still, it was comforting to use four-star magic at 14 compared to the geniuses of Jipple.

Swordsmanship is also more than a year ahead of the "Luncandel average" of 16 to 3 stars.

Gene's growth was going smoothly.

* * *

It is no better to feel that you are getting stronger day by day.

The harsh training of Garon, the daily reading of visionary notes, and the strengthening of his spirit whenever he has time.

For Jean, it's all more fun than resting or playing.

But even for Jean... Luna's training, it's hard work itself.

"If my brothers, who envy me, are trained by their first sister, I'm sure their jealousy will go away.’

Jean looked up at Luna, swallowing a bitter smile.

"Dear brother."

"Yes, sister."

"Today's training will be the same as yesterday."

"I know."

"But you'll have to treat this same training differently every day."

"Yes"

Luna came close to Jean and closed her eyes. Jindo closed its eyes after her.

Now the lines you've heard every day over the past few months will begin.

"My brother."

"In the heart... ...with the eyes."

"With the eyes of the heart......look."

This is what hard work is.

Luna never trained as methodical, intuitive and physically painful as Garon.

Always.

In the heart... ...with the eyes!

I'm just saying look.

'I'm going crazy.

Jin has often heard of the "Simgum" as spoken by more than eight-star knights.

But usually, the heart sword starts preparing for seven stars. It's not this static training......I feel like I'm naturally spreading the auror everywhere.

"Why is she doing nothing, just telling me to open my eyes?’

I've never heard of such training.

"For those who want to go forward dealing with the blades, gaining the peace of mind is paramount. Never, never open your eyes."

Nevertheless, Jean shut her eyes and followed her first sister's words because she knew her character. Luna is also the strongest of Looncandel's 13 brothers.

If the other brothers had trained him to do this, he would have taken it as a trick to hinder growth. Or think the brothers are in a pseudo-

'One day you'll understand your sister's training.’

The two stood face to face, so, with their eyes closed until evening. When the training was over, Luna said with a cool smile.

"You've done a great job today as well. It's all right to go back now, brother."

I don't know what the hell he did, but Jean just had to nod.

When Luna saw Jin leaving, she thought, "This is what I thought.

The incredible concentration that you show when you close your eyes, and the retention that lasts for hours... Gene's potential could tell in a few years. Let's grow as it is, Jean.'

Luna closed her eyes again with a pleased smile.

Siman was once again a point of enlightenment for her, who had already reached nine.
