A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 16

Hell’s White Night (2)

There is no law that says a swordsman will be invited to a swordsmanship instructor. In the case of young trainees, training focuses on physical strength and mental strength rather than swordsmanship, so there is no need for a sword master to directly lecture them.

7-star wizard, Lauren Chegan.

A master of one-on-one magic combat and a specialist in hunting martial artists.

Why is Battle Mage Lauren Chegan, once called the ‘Knight’s Reaper’, in Caladern?

The reason is simple.

This was because in order to deal with the prosecutor, he delved into and studied the prosecutor’s weaknesses more than anyone else.

The prosecutor always thinks he is strong, and this soon becomes a factor in his great defeat. Lauren Chagan teaches young prosecutors.

How useless their poor swordsmanship, which they called geniuses, was.

‘One of the first ways to realize that is to reduce your physical strength to the limit.’

Lauren Chagan tested the trainees’ physical strength and had them do various exercises.

Going up and down the stairs in place, the so-called ‘Stairway to Heaven’, is repeated hundreds of times with sandbags attached to the entire body.

They attached steel wheels to ropes and made them pull until they fell out of exhaustion, or they put them on their waists and made them run at full speed, or they made them bounce a rubber ball as heavy as a rock into the sky over and over again instead of dropping it on the floor.

It may not seem like a big deal when you hear it, but in reality, it is hell.

Lauren Chagan was a person who understood better than anyone else how simple methods can cause people to become exhausted very quickly, killing their muscles, stamina, and mental strength.

Limitations of physical strength. The limits of patience.

No, when the ‘physical fitness test’, which seemed to test the limits of life, was over, most of the trainees collapsed on the floor, nauseated.

“huh? Guys, are you tired already? It’s not even warm-up yet. “A test?”

There was no one who could answer.

There were just some children who despaired that they had crawled into hell by mistake.

Most of the people here were children just out of their teens.

It also meant that most of them were geniuses of some sort and had been rolling around in the outside world for more than 3-4 years.

But he collapsed from exhaustion after just one test.

It didn’t look good.

Crack!

Cheren Paul Kaladan.

She, who had just turned 9 this year and should have been given the title of ‘youngest trainee’ of the year, fell to the floor and clenched her fists.

It was to squeeze out the remaining strength. Pushing off the floor with trembling arms, I tried to force myself to stand up, but the large bag on my back prevented me from doing so.

‘Just one more… … !’

Physical fitness test. The naive Cheren purely believed it. She believed that if she finished more than others here, even one more thing, she would get better grades and rise in the ranking.

When others felt they were moderately exhausted, they collapsed and took a rest, but Cheren gritted his teeth and took the test to the point where his eyes almost completely rolled over.

‘Lastly, just one thing… … !’

Without knowing what kind of disaster might befall him soon.

“ruler. “The test ends here.”

Is it finally time to score?

As Cheren raised his head with hopeful eyes, Lauren Chagan smiled and said,

“Yes, good job. There were so many people that I didn’t count them, but it was amazing, right? Anyway, everything passed!”

“… … uh?”

Cheren’s head buzzed at those words. I worked hard, squeezing my last remaining strength, but I wasn’t even strong enough? So you’re going to just leave it at that and end it? Are there any cases like this?

“Ugh!”

I felt nauseous.

I haven’t eaten anything, but is it because I used up too much stamina?

It was painful and difficult to the point of tears, but the real test was now.

“Now then, from now on, we really have to decide on the rankings for the first month, right? Let me see, there are about 100 of you in total, but only 30 can fit into the luxury dormitory. The general dormitory is limited to 50 people. The bottom 20… Can you see it over there?”

The trainees looked at the accommodation, which was as shabby and worn as a stable. There were no proper walls, so not only was privacy not guaranteed, but there were no facilities whatsoever.

“That’s the housing for the bottom 20 people. If you don’t want to end up in a place like that, you have to work hard from now on, right? As for the event, dugududugudugu! You swordsmen’s favorite duel! “It’ll be fun, right?”

“ah… … .”

Cheren looked desperate at those words.

‘Nonsense… … .’

If it were a normal Cheren, it would have been a piece of cake to get into the top 30 with his outstanding mental power and swordsmanship. This is a fact acknowledged by everyone here.

But now she has squeezed out the last of her strength.

“Ugh, it’s been a duel since day one.”

“Whew. “I can’t help it.”

“I feel like my strength has come back a little bit after resting earlier.”

The children who had gone out to rest when they were moderately tired now stood up as if their stamina had returned, but not Cheren.

Even with Kaladun’s excellent body, he would have to faint for half a day.

Rattling!

Even as most of the trainees got up and took their wooden swords in preparation for the duel, Cheren found it difficult to even move his shaking legs.

‘Oh, no… … .’

Even as she was struggling in despair, Lauren’s explanation continued.

“Are you curious about how rankings are determined? Time limit is 1 hour! Duel as much as possible! Fight and win a lot!”

Dozens of instructors lined up around 100 trainees.

In the middle of it all, Lauren Chagan spread out a finger.

“Every time you win, the victory point goes up by one point, and every time you lose, the victory point goes down by one point. You can challenge anyone in the same race to a duel, and you cannot refuse. If you receive a duel request, the duel begins immediately. The condition for defeat is until one opponent abstains or can no longer fight!”

At those words, quite a few trainees’ heads automatically turned towards Cheren. Anyone could see that her condition was a mess.

As long as everything is perfect, if we had a duel right now… … You will be able to win easily.

‘Kick, you idiots.’

Lauren’s eyes sparkled. He checked who all 100 trainees were looking at at a moment’s notice.

A person who reveals his desire for the weak, albeit momentarily, for his own gain. Before they become knights, they are not qualified to succeed as swordsmen.

‘It’s my role to fix that rotten mentality.’

We have also identified all the opposite cases.

Despite completing the physical fitness test to the end, Harang has a monster-like stamina and a blank expression on his face. Several boys who were burning their fighting spirit towards him caught his eye.

‘Hey, what a monster you are.’

We have been taking care of trainees here for over 10 years already, but this is truly the first case like Harang.

So, he decided to add one more, slightly special rule.

“ah. yes. “Three people who showed special results in the physical fitness test stood out.”

Lauren spread three fingers.

“Theon, Harang, and finally Cheren. Any trainee who wins a duel against these three will receive an additional 5 points. Of course, if you lose, you will lose 5 points, so you have to be careful, right?”

“ah.”

Immediately after those words were said, Cheren burst into laughter. That guy was determined. To harass me.

Although I was bitter and angry.

There was nothing I could do.

She had no skills, and because she foolishly drained all of her stamina, she was virtually guaranteed to be in the bottom 10.

‘I was a fool. ‘It’s because he forgot his father’s words to always reserve some strength as a warrior.’

This ranking match is hopeless. She closed her eyes tightly.

‘Because it’s my fault.’

No one can blame anyone.

“Okay then, let’s get started? Who will duel first? “I’m looking forward to it~”

The trainees began to pair up and slowly increase the distance between them. Leaving just enough space to not interfere with each other’s duel, they aimed their wooden swords at each other.

A few boys secretly gathered around Cheren. Even so, I am hesitant as to whether it is okay to challenge him to a duel, even though he is a pureblood of Kaladan.

Cheren, who felt irritated and disgusted by even his seemingly calm appearance, shouted in anger.

“I’m annoyed, so just attack me!”

Thanks to the sound she had just made, she now had no strength left in her body, but it was the least she could do.

It was a defense mechanism to protect one’s last pride.

Sigh-

When someone stepped in front of him, Cheren thought that it was finally time, and with all his strength, he raised his wooden sword.

That opponent.

No one else, Harang.

‘uh… … ?’

Because I saw a completely unexpected opponent, I lost strength and my wooden sword became limp, but I quickly corrected my posture.

The duel between these two was something no one in the room expected, so the duels of the other trainees temporarily stopped.

“you… … !”

Cheren gritted his teeth.

Aren’t you embarrassed? Still, can you say that you are a pureblood of Kaladun? He didn’t say any nonsense like that. He didn’t have the strength to do so, and he didn’t want to give advice to his adopted brother or anything.

‘I never just lose, even if I lose!’

An assistant instructor came out to widen the space for the duel between the two, and when he announced the start, Cheren gathered all the strength he had from breastfeeding and stepped in front of me.

‘Even if I lose, I’ll punch you in the face for your arrogance.’

As if shooting like a cheetah, as if flying like a butterfly. Cheren aimed her wooden sword at Harang and unleashed her herbivorous attack with all her might.

Caladon’s first sword technique

Non-adjacent pleasure

Tuk!

“… … .”

“… … .”

Cheren’s power stopped there. Aiming her wooden sword and even the movement of her stepping forward. Her entire body was so weak that it was a miracle that she was even able to stand, so the fact that the wooden sword struck her husband’s chest was truly a miracle.

Harang, who was looking at her with an expressionless expression, suddenly spoke to the instructor.

“I can’t do it because my heart hurts. “I lost.”

“to… … ?”

Cheren was shocked, but didn’t have the strength to argue. Not only the new 97th rider trainees, but even the senior trainees who were watching were shocked, and all of them opened their mouths and looked at Lauren.

“… … Harang trainee. “What are you doing now?”

Lauren was still smiling, but every trainee present could tell.

anger. Some of the trainees took a step back due to that pure, well-trained, sharp anger.

However, Harang steadfastly accepted the challenge and responded.

“I just followed the rules instructed by the instructor. “If you can no longer fight or withdraw, you will be declared a loser.”

“Are you trying to make a joke?”

Lauren’s magic burst out, and the air suddenly became heavy.

However, this was nothing to Harang, who could withstand Kal-El’s spirit and the spirit of the holy sword.

“no. “In fact, my heart hurts so much that I cannot continue the duel.”

“… … what?”

Those words reminded Lauren of something different.

My heart hurts. That wasn’t just a pun, meaning it hurt from being stabbed by Cheren’s wooden sword.

‘No way, you’re going to take care of my sister even though she was adopted? ‘Did you feel sorry for me because I was so exhausted that I couldn’t even move my body?’

Harang’s physical strength was still intact, and he showed extraordinary force. What if he deliberately defeated Cheren, thereby imprinting his image on the trainees around him?

‘I’m protecting Cheren, so don’t touch him.’

If you are wrongly caught by Harang, you may be pointed out for a duel and lose points, so even as a trainee, you can’t touch Cheren hastily.

After defeating Cheren once and earning 5 points, if you are unable to compete with other trainees and are caught by Harang in succession, it will be nothing.

‘her.’

Lauren doubted herself for a moment.

‘Nothing else, but a direct lineage from Kaladan taking care of my own flesh and blood?’

However, through a short question and answer with Harang, I was able to find out.

That is by no means a childish rebellion.

After realizing that it was literally a strategy born out of wisdom, it was also an act of protection that could never have been achieved without affection for the family.

If he had that level of wisdom, couldn’t he have predicted that he would be angry?

Harang is a direct blood relative of Kaladan, but at the same time, he even took personal damage to protect his brother.

It was by no means the first time this had happened in Kaladan’s hundreds of years of history, as far as Lauren Chagan knew.

‘There were a lot. Those who were born as direct descendants of Kaladan, but love their families and cannot harm them and are affectionate.’

There were people in one generation who made a half-hearted decision to protect their family, at most three or at most one person.

What happened to them all?

Either die by your family.

One of your limbs is cut off by your family and you become unable to hold a sword.

Either they are deprived of all authority and rights as blood relatives, their status is demoted, and they remain as swords to protect the family.

‘In the last case, it would be a happy ending… … .’

What about that boy?

Will it be possible to survive with all limbs intact without dying?

‘Family love. ‘That’s not even funny.’

It was a mindset that was completely unsuited to the throne of Caladern, which was stained with bloody bloodshed where people died and killed each other.

‘Do you not know my situation because I am an adopted child? No, that can’t be true. This guy has an extraordinary head. There’s no way you wouldn’t know that.’

As soon as I thought about it, my anger melted away like snow. Rather, I became more and more interested in the existence of Harang.

“Puhaha! This is a funny bastard. okay! good night. I apologize for getting angry. Instead… … “How about adding an additional rule for the situation you want so much?”

“As much as you want.”

“Cheren, you must fight and overcome the challenge she receives.”

Also known as the Black Knight System.

“From now on, anyone who challenges Harang and wins will be awarded 20 victory points. “Anyone is fine, so as long as I defeat him, I’ll be sure to get a top spot!”

At those words, the trainees’ eyes suddenly changed. Challenging the weakened Cheren to a duel was a prick on her conscience as a knight, but challenging Harang to a duel was a different story.

Although he was only 7 years old, he already showed extraordinary physical strength and performance, and confidently challenged the instructor in front of everyone.

It wouldn’t be difficult to challenge him to a duel.

“If you lose even once, you lose 20 points. The situation with the stable will be confirmed right away. Are you still confident?”

It doesn’t matter if you refuse. Harang would have a way to protect Cheren without having to take that risk.

But Lauren Chagan knew.

‘That guy never says no. That’s the type. I can tell.’

This was a kind of ‘competition’.

Lauren Chagen and Harang Paul Calladorn.

A battle for pride between the two!

Indeed, who will win?

As Lauren expected, Harang slowly raised the corners of his mouth and nodded willingly.

Is it because of the quest?

No, absolutely not. Even if there was no quest, Harang would have accepted the challenge.

The more you overturn and overcome these unfavorable odds, the greater the achievement, the more thrilling it is, and the greater the level of pleasure.

For Harang, who has lived his entire life as a competitive fighter, just feeling that feeling is a great reward!

“That would be very fun. “I accept it.”

Harang had no intention of withdrawing from the competition, nor did he have any intention of losing.

‘Once you start the game, you will definitely win.’

Lauren smiled. He turned his head and asked Cheren, who was still looking confused behind Harang.

“Well, it would be a good story for you too. Would you agree?”

“Well, I… … .”

Cheren rolled his eyes here and there with a puzzled expression as if he didn’t know what to do, and then lowered his head.

He realized how shameful it was to have his blood relatives, who could be said to be his rivals, and even his adopted brother fighting on his behalf, but he also realized his situation and the reality that he could no longer fight.

She clenched her fists.

Rather than forcing your pride, it would be better to take a step back and rely on him… … He recognized that it would be much more beneficial to his future and training.

“… … Yes, I agree.”

“Good. “We both agreed, so let’s get started right away!”
