34 Episode 12. The struggle, the conquest, the enjoyment (4)

The Cheong Ah-seok training ended only after the Tonya brothers collapsed side by side at 9 p.m.

Not just collapsed, but the Tonya brothers completely fainted, exhausted both physical and mental strength.

"That's pathetic."

Jed kicked his tongue and called the medical staff, but that wasn't the way Jean looked at all.

'Isn't it amazing that you've endured all this time?'

Jean is still standing on two legs. It's shaking like crazy, and I'm hearing voices in my head.

The tenacity the Tonya brothers showed today was well deserved. To be honest, the progress was close. He would not have been able to endure the training if he had only lasted another half hour.

The medical staff put the Tonya brothers on a stretcher.

"Tell your brothers. Don't come out in the first place if you're thinking of falling down during training tomorrow."

"Okay."

Jin, who left the secret training ground, thought about Looncandel on his way back.

'Looking at your uncle's reaction, I'd be out of my sight if I didn't lift it. If I had been trained a little longer, I would have fallen too... I'll be more nervous from tomorrow.’

But Jed was thinking, looking at where his nephews had escaped.

'Tona's brother collapsed much later than I expected. Clackle, I think they're Looncandel. But the youngest...….’

He was two years behind his brothers, and he didn't fall today. Even though the two years of growth are a huge difference.

'It's a shame, it's a shame! Why were you born the youngest?'

Jean, whom Jed confirmed today, had the highest level of talent among Siron's thirteen children. Luna, I don't know, was clearly superior to Joshua, who is considered the next singer.

But he was too young.

Jean is only fifteen now.

Even if you can train diligently from now on and become a nine-star knight by thirty. Joshua was already leading the family at that time.

Little by little, the power of Gaza has already begun to be transferred to Joshua.

If I had been born 10 years earlier, I would have taken hold of this Looncandel.…!’

In this situation, Jean's growth and talent...….

It was something that might cause fatal confusion in the family. Ten, fifteen years later. If Qin becomes the strongest in the family and aims for the throne.

How much damage will Joshua's Looncandel suffer then? And in the meantime, how big an opportunity would the enemies of Looncandel, including Zipple, think?

Thinking that far, Jed groaned and sighed.

'We're gonna have to wait and see. Seeing what Luna cares about, Jean may be just a shadow of her family, just like her.’

There were countless variables in "future" and "growth." Jin may die during his mission, or one day he may suddenly break his will and leave Looncandel to become a wildling.

Children go through all sorts of things when they grow up, so they were still too young to give a full assessment.

A month later, it became March of 1795.

From the first day, the Jin and Tonya brothers began a war of ranks, but there was no real fight because they were stuck in a secret training camp every afternoon.

After Kazin Romero was beaten by Jean, the cadres did not touch the youngest division even when the masters were away. Because Mu and Ann gave the order so.

As Jean expected, they decided not to interfere further in the training ground.

After lending the faction to the best of his ability, Tonya's brother, who had been broken and returned from the first day, had nothing more to expect.

"......it's so quiet that it bothers me.

Mesa said, shaking the dirt off her clothes. I was about to finish my morning training, so my clothes were ridiculous. So were the other cadets standing by her side.

"Is he okay every afternoon?”

Mesa snorted as Bellop spoke anxiously.

"Are we to the point of worrying about the master?"

"But sometimes I hear heavy noises, screams, and... The medical team is in a hurry. Two days ago, Tonya and his men were stretchered off before it was over."

"Don't worry, just focus on training. Don't you remember what you said? The mission will come down soon. That's also a dirty and tight mission."

Currently, the youngest division has fallen short of the average level of the intermediate division, except for Mesa, Skut, Judeung, Tiement and Kiko.

Eddington and Sierra, Fields and Bellop actually meant no immediate assignment. Of course, Bellop is talented and has yet to overcome his mental problems.

"I don't want to be a burden to you in the future. So let's just work hard. It has to be at least three before the first mission."

"That's right, Master Chin, you're not even bothered."

The cadets nodded their heads with faces full of determination.

"Everybody pay attention!"

'Maelle Trasil,' shouted the mid-level training assistant. There were a total of three assistants in the intermediate training group, all of whom were guardian knights of the Looncandel. Mael is an assistant principal.

The first mission of this year`s intermediate-level training team has been completed. There are five missions. From now on, the cadets who call you come forward. A total of 60 people will be transferred."

The cadets did not respond otherwise. The cadets, less than three years after they reached the intermediate level, looked rather nervous.

"The first mission is to destroy the devil. The target of the punishment is Goblin. For details, hear from second-class butler Petro. The cadets are Denkelo, Atan, John...….”

"The second mission is factor protection. The subjects of protection are the young people of the Association of Blacksmiths. There's nothing bad about being seen well by these friends, right? Huston, Barding...….”

Mission No. 3 is also a devil's paradise. The target is Orc, and the operation area is unprotected. We're on the move, um...….”

Mael's hands stopped while he was handing over the documents. He checked the name on the document again, with the space between his eyes closed for a while.

Operation area is unprotected. All new cadets... I'm sure Master Chen is upset. I don't think we should all come back alive. You can't complain to the riders.'

Mael coughed in vain and continued his backbiting.

"Mesa, Skut, Tiement, Kiko, Judeung, Eddington, Sierra, Fields, David. Petro will give you the details as well. Good luck to everyone...….”

Elasticity broke out among the intermediate cadres. If it was an unprotected area for lack of Orcs, it would be no wonder if more than half of the youngest divisions were dead and returned.

But none of the cadets protested to their assistants.

Since it was decided by the riders anyway, they had no choice but to follow, and if they had to protest, it was not up to the cadres but to the faction leading the faction.

Of course, if Jin visits the riders in person and discusses them, he will be able to change the number of people who will be transferred to the mission three times. Either you make a deal yourself or borrow Luna's influence.

But even that was bound to be a handshake.

This is because he only admits that his faction is underperforming. Also, the moment I borrowed Luna's power, it proved that I wasn't qualified to lose it.

For example, it was the only one. The youngest division had no choice but to perform mission number three.

"Excuse me, instructor. What are your missions four and five?”

"It's a mission assigned to the masters. You don't have to know. That's it! When the meal is over, the cadets called must rest until the mission begins. The launch is in two days."

The cadets immediately began to rattle as the assistants got out.

"Oh, my God, they."

"at least four or five dead...….”

"I'd rather have no faction."

"I told you, right? There's nothing to see but blood if you're riding the wrong faction.”

"The poor ones."

Kazin and other members of the Mu and Ann factions nodded with a wry smile.

"I'll have to prepare the coffins and incense, 큭큭."

"I think we should hold a proper funeral. There are only two days left, so why don't you paint a portrait of each other until then? I'll write a suicide note.”

"Hahaha, have a good trip. Why don't you ask Master Chin? Help me, help me! Khehehe."

The cadets belonging to Mu and Ann giggled at the youngest division. At the moment Tyrant was about to get up in a fit of rage, but Mesa grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Hold it. We can't beat them yet, and there's nothing good about getting into trouble just before the mission.”

"But those bastards...…!”

"Shut up and sit down, Tyment. It's all about the master. Do I have to tell you one by one to understand?"

Tyrant strode into his seat.

"......what should I do?"

Sierra sighed. The rest of the youngest division had a somber look on their faces.

"Oh no. This is Looncandel. I'm going to open it if I'm going to open it. We somehow succeed in our mission and come back. That's the only way to make those bastards flat."

Mesa gritted her teeth, but her fingertips were also shaking slightly.

I wasn't afraid of death. From the first mission, I was afraid of this situation, which had no choice but to give Jin trouble.

* * *

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong!

"Ahhhh!"

"Heytona!"

"Boom!"

Heitona's cheonga stone burst. Today alone was the third blast. The protruding iron bead narrowly missed Daytona and flew to Jean, who was concentrating his mind.

Heitona was hit in the chest and Jean in the side. The iron beads that jumped from the side out of nowhere could not be helped by the jeans.

Jed was sitting in a chair reading the mission papers, seemingly uninterested.

"Hoo-hoo, shit!

"Are you all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Daytona. Um... Jean. The youngest, uh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...….”

Heitona crept up to Jean. Daytona was also scratching the back of her head.

Looking at it, Jin wondered if they were really Tonya brothers who would be vicious killers.

"It's all right. Instead, you guys do it in the corner over there."

"Uh."

The Tonya brothers groaned and moved the Cheonga Stone and the table to the corner.

It is no different that they are listening to their obedient brother. After a month of rolling together, we feel that what our uncle said is true.

Don't turn your back on the youngest until you're strong enough. If you want to live a long life.

Jin, whom the brothers saw, was simply a ghost. The Tona brothers were only able to break the Cheonga Stone three or four times a day today, but Jean had been exploding five or six times since a few days ago.

'Today, I must make a clear sound.’

The side that was hit by the iron bead throbbed. There seems to be no abnormality in the bone, but the breathing quickly became rough.

Whoo, whoo.

Jean closed her eyes and chose to breathe. Naturally the surface, stiffness, and weight of a cheonga stone. Such things were being drawn in the closed snow.

My concentration is getting blurred because of pain in my side.

'Huh?'

A strange sensation suddenly enveloped the camp. Somehow, the direction of the flying iron bead that hit the side seemed to be accurately portrayed.

What is it? Why do I feel like this all of a sudden?….’

As he opened his eyes and tried to check the direction of the iron bead, Jed raised himself. The Jin and Tonya brothers quickly changed their posture and stood before Jed.

"The mission has been assigned to you."
