Mision

Two months passed in an instant.

The daily routine was the same. Endless physical training and brief liberal arts classes. It was not unreasonable that the children's expressions were rotten.

"Damn, I never thought it would be like this..."

"You know, physical fitness is important. But isn't it too much to keep us from wielding weapons?"

"I know."

It was somewhat disappointing.

A painful and challenging environment, but because of that, they were able to get to know each other more and chat with each other.

The appearance of awkwardly greeting each other was long gone.

It was common to see like-minded trainees eating together and chatting in their free time.

However, some did not form a group.

"Mph! Mph! Mph!"

Sweat dripped from Rose's body as she ran around the running track.

Her flowing white hair and the scowl on her face showed that she was in a state of desperation and had reached the limit of her body.

Yes, he barely rested.

Contrary to the fact that other people were gathering and chatting with each other on their breaks, she continued with her training.

Thomas, who was resting near the field, stopped and muttered.

"Beast, she's too strong."

She was strong.

She also thought that she would not lose to anyone with her strong mentality.

It was his pride of being a high-ranking noble as the son of the Demon General of the Austrian Kingdom's army.

Guardian of the border with the abyssal plain of the Kingdom of Austria, 9-star bestial warrior, and descendant of the ancient Golden Lion lineage.

Born to embrace the lesser beings, he knew the weight of his lineage, so he lived a fuller life than anyone else from an early age.

But in front of William, Rose, and Sthephy his glow faded.

"I'm being pushed back by a commoner."

He didn't want to admit that.

But he couldn't help admitting it. His high pride began with an examination of himself.

From the moment he tried to fool himself, he knew that every effort he put in would end up slinging mud at him.

"Damn."

"What's wrong, Mr. Thomas?"

"Did something bad happen?"

"Nothing...go about your business."

He said only one word, but one after another, the apprentices around him began to ask him for a reason.

Thomas looked at them.

Those of little fame, who were under the Anthos school, and those whose ranks were unrecognized, all were under him. Sons of Barons of the Duchy and Kingdom of Austria, all wanting something from Thomas was not to the extent that he could depend on them.

If he had had the right support, he could have done a great job.

"I can't show weakness in front of people who just want to rely on me."

The eldest son of a high-ranking family thought that as he spoke.

"Never mind. Let's go."

****

Three days later.

There were already three trainees in Yoggi's office. The trainees had tense faces and Yoggi explained the operation, pointing to the map on the wall.

"This operation is a specially assigned task by the outstanding performance of this class of beginners ... Oh, Young Master. Welcome."

When Raimon entered, Yoggi smiled and bowed his head.

Teams in training beginners usually do not accomplish missions, but it's not like there has never been any precedent at all. Even beginner cadets often lost their lives if they performed poorly.

It's up to Raimon that the junior cadets have managed to get the Flower family's attention.

When Raimon watched the progress of the young men he was interested in and saw how William dueled with Sthephy last week, it wasn't just Thomas who woke up. Many noticed William's great progress along with the proper meals and practice.

The anecdote from the day of the fight had a big impact on other cadets.

"Yoggi, has the mission been selected?"

"Yes, young master. It is a mission entrusted to 10 beginner cadets."

Raimon looked at the world map, with William standing behind his back.

"The red mark is probably the area of operation, but that's ... looks like the Kingdom of Austria."

The Kingdom of Austria is an area near the 'Abyssal Plane Earth'. Between them, the home of the most dangerous beasts, the demonic Monkeys, is also nearby. Land that travelers avoid, adventurers prefer and mercenaries detest.

"We are also contacting cadets who went on vacation away from the Anthos academy. We will be divided into two groups of ten, including these young men."

"You're dividing ten beginners into two groups?"

"Yes, the first group will be led by Roland and the second group will be led by second-year Instructor Heinz."

The results have not yet been made public, but everyone expected that from this mission Raimon would select his escorts from the following beginner classes.

"By the way, Heinz is a five-star knight with a mythical shark bloodline. There is a high probability that the mission to the Kingdom of Austria has something to do with water."

Something was out of the ordinary.

No matter how much the students at Anthos Academy are, at best they are between 14 and 16 years old. It is not appropriate to perform water-related tasks in another Kingdom.

Raimon proposed this mission to take down a dark organization on the border of the Duchy and the Kingdom. By finishing this mission Raimon will be able to visit Castle Anthos and then return to Castle Cailleach with the students selected to accompany him.

Raimon thought silently.

"I don't think it's a bad thing, this mission is to get to know his character."

"Then ... my mother must have been informed of what happened between William and me. I understand now.'

Raimon nodded.

"Then five students will form a group. Who are the members?"

"Yes, Instructor Roland's group one, Rose, Eddie, Thomas, and Jack. Heinz's group two is Massa, Sthephy, William, and Jill."

Hearing the composition of the group, Raimon could grasp Yoggi's intentions.

The five members of Heinz's group, except for Jack, are all cadets who are considered good in the training group. Jack awake also has many ups and downs, barely staying in the upper-middle class.

On the other hand, all the team members are top players in the training squad. There was only one thing that meant this ineffective composition.

"Yoggi wants to test everyone in the group. Make sure there are no fools and dangers in the process of leading the weaker ones."

Then it will surely be an overwhelming task.

Raimon opened his mouth so intuitively.

"Explain the outline of the mission and operation, Yoggi."
