Episode 329
214. Imperial Knights Camp (3)
I never thought about this until I came to camp.
Have you ever thought about the ‘fight’ that your eldest or younger sister told you about?
Even that was not seriously considered or prepared in advance for this.
In that sense, I rejected the fifth scouting offer that had just happened and looked at the eyes directed at me one by one.
jealousy.
hostility.
Or longing.
There were all kinds of emotions, but they were all so sticky that I ignored them.
Anyway, the time while waiting for admission passed like that.
“I… … Dane, are you sure you don’t mind taking sides with any of them?”
In the midst of this, Diego Ceylon asks from the side.
Hearing that, I asked.
“And you?”
“I am… … .”
A guy who blurts his words.
Does this mean there is no place that accepts it?
“… … “I have to try it on my own.”
The guy clenched his fists tightly.
I nodded at that figure.
“okay. “Do your best.”
“Now, just a moment. “If you do this, don’t you usually join the same team out of pity?”
“why?”
“… … .”
Diego It looks like this guy was expecting something a little different.
I’m not interested.
I don’t know if anyone knows.
Hey, like the guy who was specifically looking at me from earlier.
“Seniors.”
When our eyes met, the guy slowly approached me and curled up the corner of his mouth as if he had never done that before.
“I didn’t know that you were also involved in this.”
“I’m surprised you’re here.”
Venatio Grun.
He claims to be the successor to a fallen family, but it seems clear that he is from the imperial family.
“How did you join?”
“I saw the announcement.”
Instead of pouting at that shameless remark, I asked.
“It seems like everyone else saved the team, but what about you?”
“Well, the moment I saw you, I couldn’t even imagine hanging out with other guys.”
I guess so.
You’ll have to keep an eye on me.
Should I be fooled once?
Still, having someone I know means I’m less bored.
“Like that.”
“As expected, I thought you would.”
The guy looks genuinely happy. Is that acting, or is it really coming from the heart?
“But what about this person?”
“Diego, this is Ceylon! Zhuangzi is the Marquess of Ceylon!”
He was in such a hurry that he introduced things in a jumbled manner. Benatio and I were dazed for a moment when we saw that.
“This person is a bit strange, senior.”
“It’s because I’m desperate.”
“But I think it might be a bit difficult to do it together, hmm.”
Venatio looks Diego up and down.
“please… … I will do anything! No, I will do anything! I won’t disturb you, and I’ll do some chores, so please… … !”
The guy appealed as if he had been waiting.
Marquis of Ceylon.
It wouldn’t be strange to say that it has fallen now, but it is a family that once lost, so their pride would still remain.
“Look at him. “I’m almost ready to ejaculate.”
“Don’t you have any balls? “That guy is the eldest son of the Marquis of Ceylon, right?”
“If the family goes bankrupt, is that what happens without pride?”
Nevertheless, there must be a certain degree of desperation in making an appeal in front of us with everyone watching.
“You said you would do anything, right?”
I said that and gestured to Benatio.
“Watch carefully.”
“Are you accepting this, senior?”
“What else is there to do but accept it? “Search has no meaning.”
“… … As expected, senior.”

Anyway, there is no one who looks stronger than me.
So, at least to me, rank has no meaning.
Just keep doing what you’re doing and if there’s someone trying to block your path, just push them away or knock them down like you normally would.
“At least you and this guy don’t seem to be intentionally blocking my path during this camp.”
That’s it.
“go… … thanks!”
That’s how Diego became part of our ‘team’ amidst the absurd looks of the other guys.
We somehow ended up being a team.
Well, at least I don’t think it will spoil the original fun of the camp, so let’s go like this this time.
“But my left arm falls off quite often… … “You’ll be okay, right?”
“If you miss it, you just have to hit it.”
I dismissed Diego’s harsh words.
Anyway, what are Leila and the others doing?
I heard that Leila went to train with Duke Termion.
“Is everyone gathered?”
The voice heard at this time.
A large man was standing and looking at us.
“nice to meet. My name is Simon Aldevar of the Second Imperial Knights. I am in charge of the program you will carry out for two weeks at this camp. Please feel free to call me Lord Aldevar.”
It looks good.
The voice has a gentle atmosphere.
Perhaps thanks to this, I can see some guys giggling.
“Welcome to this knights’ camp. “You will complete the training program prepared by the Imperial Knights over the next two weeks, and you will also be given the opportunity to join the Order, although I don’t know who you will be.”
But every time something like this happens, a guy who can’t understand the atmosphere often comes out.
“So, at this camp, everyone faithfully participated in the program… … .”
“So if I defeat Sir Aldevar, I can join the Knights immediately?”
It’s the guy from earlier.
Milton Dalahan is said to have come from the North.
He was asking in a quite challenging yet cocky manner… … .
well.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a scum.
“Sir, I will give you one soon.”
“I guess so.”
just as expected.
“Of course, Milton Dalahan. If you defeat me, of course you can join. Because it means you have that level of skill. The Imperial Knights welcome those with skills. But… … .”
Lord Aldevar’s voice changed.
“Didn’t Count Dalahan teach you manners, Milton Dalahan?”
The atmosphere suddenly became colder.
“Or did you teach them the etiquette of interrupting someone mid-sentence?”
“What now… … .”
“Just like now, Milton Dalahan. “Because you were born as the second son, you are an outcast in the North.”
Crack!
It was a moment when Milton ran out.
But even for a moment.
Quadang!
Sir Aldevar walked at a faster pace than Milton, knocked him down, and bowed down in front of him.
“It seems like they want to look strong just because they’re from the North, but that doesn’t work here. Milton Dalahan.”
“… … .”
Then he straightened his back again, looked around at the other participants, and said this.
“Since this is before formal admission, I will leave it at this point this time. But once the program starts, it won’t end there.”
“Seo, are you really going to be expelled?”
Sir Aldevar chuckled at one guy’s question.
“no. There is no such thing as leaving the Imperial Knights Camp. “To be precise, we are making it so that you cannot give up halfway.”
camp.
Although it was disguised as a very light and exciting word… … .
The word in front is ‘Imperial Knights.’
A desperate heart is a desperate heart, but those who take it lightly will unfortunately end up having a hard time.
“So get off those heavy butts and get ready to move.”
I saw.
The faces of those confident guys turned earthy.
“Now we are all dead… … .”
Diego, the guy next to me, was a bonus. * * *
The purpose of the camp, that is, the Imperial Knights’ Camp, is to sort out the good and bad and find those who can be recruited into the Order.
Of course, even if discovered, it would of course start with training, but the guys who join like this are different from their aspirations.
Because these are the guys who endured two weeks of hellish training.
The guys who came in that way grew quickly and, above all, had venom.
‘Hey, like Milton Dalahan.’
I had to step on it because it was cocky, but its bravery wasn’t all bad.
To be precise, it is the desire for success.
In any noble family, the second son only takes over the family’s appropriate business.
The North is not much different.
It is said to be a place where the logic of power rules, but would it be easy for the second son to step on top of the eldest son?
In that sense, there is a desire to see it.
“Move more, more, more! If you are caught using magic power, you will be punished immediately!”
“evil! evil!”
Aren’t you gritting your teeth and rolling around in the hellish program that started right after you entered the hospital?
Restriction on use of horsepower.
And the ‘punishment’ that comes as soon as the rules are broken.
Puk, puk!
“A million, a million!”
Although the knights’ magical blows may not seem very painful on the outside, the person hit is so close to death.
That’s why I don’t wear a bracelet that limits my magical power during training.
It is about self-control through temptation.
“Ugh, huh.”
“Wow, there’s all this crazy training.”
For reference, the first training is ‘unlimited physical training.’
I don’t know about the residents, but it ends when more than half of the participants are eliminated.
In other words, it is a vicious situation where the longer you endure, the longer the training time becomes.
Of course, not everyone can last long.
The significance of suppressing the momentum is greater.
“To become a knight, you have to endure at least 5 years of further training from the time you start your apprenticeship! Everyone, come to your senses!”
“It’s moving! What has made you so weak! So, the family can only do so much!”
“Do you dare try to join the Imperial Knights when you were not chosen? If you do that, you won’t even be able to set foot in it! It moves faster!”
Jump, run, jump, climb, roll, and then fall.
While everyone was busy trying to overcome the obstacles set up in the huge training ground, not a single one was left behind.
That’s right, because the moment he fell behind, he kicked him and made him rejoin the race.
Thirty laps at most.
If you use magical power, you can do more than that, but with normal physical strength, that’s the limit.
“Where are you secretly using magical power?”
“A million, a million! “You were wrong!”
Then, merciless punishment falls on the guy who used magical power.
This is the training method of the Imperial Knights.
Please note that trainee knights enter here only after going through a further process.
And the reason why such ‘punishment’ is possible against children of noble families… … .
Because this is the imperial palace.
That’s the only reason.
‘It will be about fifty laps on the last day.’
It was a time when Lord Aldevar was grinning as he recalled the growth of the trainees who would be training on the last day of camp.
“hmm.”
One.
There was one person who really stood out.
“How many laps is it?”
“This is my 40th lap alone.”
“her. Even without using magical power?”
“Right now, two people are running and watching, and seeing that nothing happened, it looks like they didn’t use any magical power.”
“Such nonsense…” … .”
Isn’t it truly a monster?
I can’t believe I ran that obstacle course 40 times and didn’t lose speed at all, and all the movements of crossing, rolling, and jumping were flawless.
even… … .
“Your breathing is stable.”
“It’s ridiculous.”
Dane Sogress.
After all, he is the rumored genius boy.
I can’t believe it, but that boy was real.
“There are times when rumors are less true than facts.”
Meanwhile-
‘Well, does that make sense?’
Milton Dalahan.
He was left with a negative impression from all the participants from the beginning, and now he is out of breath and has barely overcome one obstacle.
Was it the twentieth lap?
I don’t remember exactly, but I remember one thing clearly.
Dane Sogress.
The fact that that guy has never once tripped over an obstacle or slowed down.
‘me… … ‘Is it possible for it not to be a nuisance?’
Meanwhile, Diego Ceylon was seeing hope that had never existed before in his useless thoughts –
‘Mr. A, you thought I was crazy and followed you to the camp as a disguise when you should have just been under surveillance as a member of the counterintelligence unit… … .’
Benatio was very regretful.
