chapter 5
5 – This is serious
Where the hell do I start?
Sitting on a bench on one side of the garden, Leon stared blankly at the academy.
My position is a training instructor at the Hero Academy.
A place for those who have excellent skills but have not been chosen as holy objects.
I was verified once by the recruitment test and once again by the Empire.
Because they are formally appointed instructors, some degree of autonomy is guaranteed in training.
That’s why if he pushes forward, he can teach him how to practice mana.
‘The problem is, the cadets who are supposed to receive that teaching. And all the people around him are wondering why this is necessary. If you don’t feel the need, no matter how much you teach, it’s useless.’
Would it have been better if it was a world where mana was scarce?
No, it would have been enough if it was just a world with enough mana.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t have gone through such troubles.
The people of this world may have created a mana practice method.
But this world is so rich in mana. To the point of overflowing
It’s hard to have surpluses. People come into contact with Mana very often.
That’s why the warrior candidates keep coming out.
Some people say this is a blessing from God, but Rion, well.
Rather, I wonder if this current abundance is the shackles holding them back.
A tough world breeds strong people, but an easy world only breeds weak people.
‘I’m really going crazy.’
Right now, training is scheduled from the afternoon. You have to decide before that.
‘Just forcefully push? … No If I do that, I will say a lot of dirty words.’
The only thing I regret right now is Leon. If you are deprived of the instructor position, only you will lose.
The plan to raise the warrior stronger and send it to the tower goes awry from the start.
I don’t think it will be persuasive to put it mildly.
Did you say that verbal persuasion is only possible when you speak with a gun in your hand?
This is why ‘necessity’ is necessary, but that mana surge was the problem.
Of course, the people of the Empire and the academy cadets would be nervous too.
The tower hasn’t been demolished in over 100 years.
However, humans are animals with advanced self-justification.
In addition, he extremely hates changes in the basic tone once established.
Hasn’t the world been destroyed even after 100 years? Then another 100 years will be better!
Before that, some hero will bring down the tower and bring peace!
So we just do what we do! It’s been like that before, so it will be like this again!
‘No. It’s not that. You children.’
I wasn’t confident at the time. But now it’s different.
Rion knows. He knew that the tower he was in charge of was different from the one he had in the past.
At this rate, even if you die and wake up, there is no hope. Even after another 100 years, no one comes.
One more crucial thing, I really don’t have much time left.
The fact that some of the Tower King’s restrictions have been lifted means that the time limit is running out.
Only Leon can know this fact. So it’s more like dying.
I can clearly see the future, but they won’t listen to me even if I tell them!
‘… In the end, there is only one way left. Easiest, fastest.’
Give up everything. There is only one hero who can defeat the boss anyway.
You can’t play in a party, so there’s no need to develop an entire team.
Yes. If you think about it, in the end, there is only one hero who came to where he is.
The one who proved the potential, and the one who saved it time and time again.
And there was only one reason why Leon came here.
“Instructor? What are you doing?”
Yes. That one. It is none other than the hero Eleanor. Enlil. N….
“… Buheo ke ke ke ke ew!”
What is this girl?! When did she come all this way?!
Leon was genuinely surprised. Thinking she was alone, she was relaxing.
Could it be that my original energy, which I was hiding, came out because of that?
Even the opponent is not another person, it is Enlil who has collided with himself many times.
Although it is said that the level of the current warriors is so pitiful that tears come to my eyes.
Among those warriors, Enlil is the only one who has reached the top floor.
You may have noticed something strange even in the midst of the blur!
“What, what are you so surprised about? As if you were caught doing something bad.”
You’re surprised because you did something bad. Even the target was you.
Rion quickly arranged his expression and looked at Enlil’s face.
You didn’t notice, did you? The guy from across the sea is actually the guy from the tower?
“… Instructor? Why are you like that?”
At first glance, he seems to know nothing.
We cannot rule out the possibility that it is a lie or an act.
But it’s not even a job to see through such a lie.
‘I don’t know.’
I’m glad. She was the most likely warrior who came to me at the moment when I was putting my mind at ease.
Maybe it’s because she’s not at the top, but outside, she seems to have put her mind at ease.
“No big deal. More than that, Enlil why are you here….”
“Hey, I already have enough mental training. I am just training.”
It’s called a warrior academy, but if you look closely, it’s a huge training ground.
All the cadets constantly grind and polish themselves as warrior candidates.
There are only a handful of theoretical lectures they receive.
How to fight demon beasts, known weaknesses against demon beasts.
And the lecture that accounts for the most proportion is mental education.
You are the only hope of the world, so you must destroy the tower.
It can be seen as forcibly granting all sorts of duties and a sense of mission.
‘In the game, it was just managing favorability in the form of giving gifts.’
In reality, games were so cruel that they couldn’t even compare.
Incredible mental training lasting for as little as one year or as long as several years.
No. Maybe we should call it “Brainwashing” Rather than education.
Because you are strong, because you have been chosen, you must sacrifice your life to save the world.
That is fate. It is fate. It cannot be avoided and cannot be avoided!
I keep hearing about
.
‘Still, Enlil, who has challenged the tower many times, seems to think that his mental training is sufficient.’
It was fortunate. Because Leon had this kind of worry.
Even though he challenged the tower several times, Enlil survived unlike other warriors.
Seeing her as a traitor, or as a coward, did she insult her and treat her harshly?
So she wondered if Enlil would be completely broken mentally.
If she really did, she would have made the mental training more rigorous.
If you had regarded her life as a cowardly and disgraceful thing, of course you would have.
But that didn’t seem to happen.
Yes. It was fortunate.
“I heard that her instructor’s training is scheduled for the afternoon.”
“Really?”
“It’s okay to look forward to it, right?”
Why do you have expectations? Why do you say that?
“It’s the first time someone from across the sea has become an instructor. There were some North Koreans, but they left without doing much. Well, from what I heard, he said ‘Musa’ there. Is that right?”
That can’t be. In fact, it is the master of the tower and the final boss monster.
“That’s what it’s called. Right now, I’m just a wanderer, but I’m a newly appointed instructor.”
“I have more confidence. I think you’ll be a good instructor who doesn’t show off or overconfident.”
“….”
The top floor of the tower, a very different look from the one seen in the Throne Hall.
He was always angry, nervous, and a little afraid.
But Enlil, sitting next to me, was calm, gentle, and warm.
Until now, the only thing Rion himself had seen was Enlil, who was a warrior.
And what I’m looking at right now is just one person, Enlil.
There is no reason to discuss what is real and what is fake.
Both are Enlil by themselves. Because he is the person himself.
“… Thank you Enlil.”
“I told you to speak comfortably.”
Sure. I’ve been treating you comfortably until now, but why did you suddenly say this?
The first training time as an instructor has finally arrived.
Rion is a candidate for the warrior standing in front of me. He looked over the cadets at the academy.
No, I will correct it. He was waiting for something
Thinking that ‘that event’ used to occur with a high probability.
‘Hmm.’
Why doesn’t anything happen? Should I start feeling like that?
‘If you look at it, isn’t there a guy who always goes out of his way to catch the pod because it’s from where he is from and because of his skills? I heard that it is a national rule at the academy. Why is it that no one shows signs of ignoring them!’
The event that Leon had been looking forward to, that was exactly what he had been waiting for.
It’s called the Hero Academy, but not everyone has the qualities of a hero.
There will be a cadet more brave than Enlil, and there will be others similar to her.
Either him or below him. He is a candidate for a hero, but there must be some who are not worthy of a hero.
The holy relic only meets the minimum qualifications, it is not an all-purpose strainer.
In that case, there must be some who have a bad temper among them.
Rion intended to teach the overwhelming gap by sacrificing that bad guy.
Honestly, if you say ‘I’m f*cking counting!’ From the start, don’t you lose a lot of shape?
There is a reason why there are always good education events.
You can even feed him cider and clean it up right in front of the ugly guy legally.
“Nice to meet you, students. This is Leon, the new drill instructor.”
So I tried to say hello so that I could feel a bit cheeky.
Even if you think about it, it’s a very mean thing to do, but it can’t be helped!
True education! There is no one in the world who can stand hearing this!
“Nice to meet you, Instructor Leone. I look forward to.”
“Thank you very much!”
But it seemed like he didn’t care about Leon’s expectations.
One of the students greeted them as a representative, and everyone bowed their heads accordingly.
There were no cheeky students, no quarrelsome students, no one.
“….”
This isn’t it. What I expected, it wasn’t like this.
“… I’m counting on you. Cadets.”
Somewhere, God laughs and says to the boss mob.
Wake up the dream.
