30 soldiers recruited as private soldiers.
None of them were aura swordsmen..
Pookie was just a C-rank mercenary, one level below Lucas, and on the first day he received instruction from Roman, he heard something he couldn't understand..
“You were born with no bones..”
Even back then.
didn't know what it meant.
After the war, Roman's soldiers learned the Surah method, and Puki, who entered the new world, developed really quickly..
The speed of learning was different from other people.
While the soldier next to him had difficulty accepting Mana, Pookie naturally accepted Mana and even guided him..
manifestation of mana.
Most people were unable to succeed even after years of effort..
However, Pookie succeeded in manifesting an aura in barely a month..
It was a huge event.
Even at first.
Like Lucas, people had doubts about the Surah practice..
Even though Dmitry was from a family with enormous wealth, I did not expect Roman to be able to impart such great wisdom to a single soldier..
it was common knowledge.
However, when they directly experienced the sura method and achieved a very successful result called Puki, their thoughts had no choice but to change..
‘The sura simbeop is real.’
Roman's Gift.
It was a treasure that couldn't be bought even if you paid hundreds of millions of dollars..
It may be that Puki succeeded in manifesting the aura because of his outstanding talent, but because people have experienced Sura meditation, they knew that it was not possible simply with Puki's talent alone..
The effect of the sura meditation itself did not make sense..
By making it possible to feel the mana around you, you were able to easily solve what ordinary people say is the most difficult part of becoming an aura swordsman..
Things have changed.
If you just try.
Like Pookie, he can become an aura swordsman..
And since there was another outcome called Kevin, the attitude of the soldiers involved in training changed from then on..
Everyone risked their lives.
To become stronger.
to get over the wall.
The stubborn atmosphere aroused competition, and the extreme clash between Kevin and Pookie was the result..
Kaang!
Crumbling.
Clash of Aura and Aura.
The sound was different.
As the air that had been sucked in exploded all at once, the people sparring around looked away in shock..
“Where can I stop it?!”
Kwaang!
Pookie took the momentum..
Kevin was faster when his aura started to appear, but Pukki had the upper hand in the physical aspect..
Muscles strong like armor on a huge physique.
The explosive attack created synergy with the power of the aura, and Kevin had no choice but to be helplessly pushed back by the powerful attack that crushed the opponent..
And yet.
Kevin's expression did not change..
Even though it was a situation where he could die the moment he made even the slightest mistake, Kevin's eyes never left his opponent..
“It's really jingling.”
among the soldiers.
Kevin was called a ghost.
The reasons were varied.
The unpredictable movements and unique anomalous sword techniques reminded me of a ghost, but the biggest reason was the boldness that made me feel like I had multiple lives..
The liver came out of the stomach..
Although there have been numerous sparring sessions, Roman's soldiers have never once seen Kevin take a step back out of fear..
Kevin cut off his own arm.
As he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, the feeling of fear completely disappeared from Kevin's mind..
‘I will definitely win.’
Defeat not allowed.
Even if not.
Kevin became jealous of the fact that Chris was considered more important than him..
However, if he were to be defeated by someone like Pookie, let alone surpass Chris, Kevin would feel a sense of self-destruction and would not be able to live..
The savior I met in a situation where my life was being trampled on miserably..
In order to repay Roman's favor, I always told myself that I had to become stronger than I am now..
widely.
opponent's attack.
I swiped it away with the blade of my sword..
Kevin rushed at him, and Pookie quickly retrieved his sword and attacked, as if he had anticipated his opponent's reaction..
Pookie's counterattack was quick..
If it continues like this.
Kevin's head will split in an instant..
A situation of imminent action.
Even though his life was in danger, Kevin's choice was not to avoid, but to take a step forward..
hook!
extended the sword.
Under Pookie's chin.
Pookie's eyes shook greatly due to the attack targeting a vital point..
I had to choose.
Should you attack Kevin first and take him down, or should you give up the attack and block Kevin's attack?.
If this is real.
Pookie would have chosen the former to compete, but he didn't want to recklessly risk his life just for sparring..
“Damn it.”
Kaang!
blocked the attack.
His balance was shaken by his unstable posture, and Kevin pounced on Pookie, destroying his large body..
That's the end of the game.
When Pookie came to his senses and raised his head, a cool sensation hovered near his neck..
“……I really have to do this?”
“Either you risk your life too. Then, you'll know I wasn't wrong.”
Pookie looks at you with a look of boredom.
Kevin retrieved his sword with a calm expression and stood up..
sparring is over.
And that look.
Willas was watching from afar with a shocked expression..
At first it was mild curiosity..
frontier soldiers.
I wanted to kill time and check out how they trained and what level they were at..
so that.
The training was shocking from the start.
‘what am i seeing right now?’
Soldiers sparring.
Their movements were unusual.
Normally, ordinary conscripts only trained to simply thrust and block spears, but Roman soldiers were different..
Like seasoned prosecutors, they targeted each other's vital points..
The movement to avoid the attack was efficient and quick, and Willas clenched his fist as hard as he could without realizing it when he attacked the opponent momentarily..
I was amazed.
In particular, the perfection of swordsmanship.
Seeing the swordsmanship of systematically pushing the opponent, I began to doubt whether they were really soldiers from the frontier..
‘The soldiers all use the same sword techniques, and the perfection of their sword techniques is unbelievably excellent. And the atmosphere of training is as fierce as in real combat. Is this the level that a baronial family in the frontier can only show? It's like seeing a miniature version of the Valhalla Empire..’
Valhalla is like this too..
Warlike peoples risking their lives in battle.
Just like those who fight as hard as they can for whatever reason, Roman's soldiers exchanged offense and defense without retreating an inch..
It was then.
Kevin and Pookie face off.
Their fight became more intense, and eventually an aura appeared from the sword..
that.
It was a truly shocking scene..
Rather than the fact that an aura was used by what appeared to be a child soldier, the quality of the aura caught Willas' attention..
‘Nonsense.’
The aura of the two.
It was different from common sense.
Normally, an aura is an explosive outburst of instantaneous power, but Kevin and Pookie displayed an aura so weak that it was questionable whether this was their aura..
At first I thought it was a prank.
I thought I was tricking my eyes with something like a magic artifact, but from the moment the two auras collided, my mouth opened and I couldn't close it..
Kwaang!
Crumbling.
the wind blew.
I could feel the clash between the two even from afar, and I knew that the power of the aura was stronger than it seemed..
outside of common sense.
My head was spinning tight..
The uniqueness of the aura, starting from the level of the soldiers, puzzled Willas..
‘These are not ordinary soldiers. It is probably an order of knights that the Dmitri family put a lot of effort into fostering. But since when did the Dmitri family have this level of power? This time, while looking into Roman Dmitry, we confirmed that Dmitry is a powerful figure in the northeastern region, but this cannot be considered the power of a border family. Even those in power in the central government did not have this kind of power. I heard that Dmitry is famous for mining, but what exactly is this scene I am witnessing?.’
“……Priest. Is Dmitry truly a city of mining??”
voice of the apostle.
He was no different from Willas..
I did some research on the Dmitry family, and was fascinated when I saw a situation that was different from what I expected..
Willas said.
“I too wonder what I see now. What is certain is that they are not ordinary soldiers. I heard that there is an order of knights named after Dmitri, so maybe they are the Dmitry Knights..”
At least.
It was an inference that was consistent with common sense..
I couldn't think of him as a soldier..
however.
Hans, who was listening to the conversation right next to me, said.
“They are not the Knights of Dmitry. The Dmitry Knights exist separately, and the people you are seeing now are private soldiers who follow Master Roman Dmitry. These are people who do not belong to a family and have sworn loyalty only to Master Roman..”
In those words.
Willas could not help but be shocked once again..
Valhalla.
empire of warriors.
Even in a place known to have the strongest soldiers in the world, the soldiers were not this strong..
‘They are just soldiers?’
A passing dog will laugh.
What is a soldier?.
It meant beings like cogs on the battlefield..
As you can see, they are not beings with outstanding skills to the extent of fiercely exchanging attacks and defenses, but ordinary soldiers are people who usually fall down screaming after one or two attacks..
It is no different from the Valhalla Empire..
The soldiers of the Valhalla Empire have superior fighting skills compared to other countries, but they do not show the qualities of a swordsman like Roman's private soldiers..
I was speechless.
Dmitry.
It's a territory on the border..
It's not like he's from a prestigious family in an empire, but Dmitry is barely able to train soldiers of this level..
common sense has collapsed.
While I was in a moment of panic.
training is finished.
Willas had to return to his lodgings, and following Hans' guidance, he asked questions along the way..
“Where did they recruit such soldiers? Everyone's skills were extraordinary. Did he spend a lot of money to hire him, or was he just an apprentice preparing to become an engineer? Otherwise, there would be no way to hire an Ora swordsman as an ordinary soldier..”
Let's say that's the level of the soldiers..
however.
Kevin and Pookie were not talented enough to be called soldiers..
He knows how to openly manifest his aura, but what kind of crazy person in the world would use such a talented person as a soldier?.
If you were a soldier.
I would have quit my job right away because of the unfair treatment..
I thought I would get a common sense answer this time..
However, Hans once again shattered Willas' common sense..
“I don't know what you're asking, but if you're talking about Kevin and Pookie, they weren't aura swordsmen not that long ago. Kevin was from the slums, but Master Roman specifically recruited him, and Pookie was a C-rank mercenary who decided to become Master Roman's soldier after seeing a recruitment notice. They only became stronger through Master Roman's teachings. Isn’t that amazing? Master Roman is the heir of the Dmitri family and is gifted with an eye for recognizing people's talents. Truly, Dmitry's blessing..”
Hans' voice was heightened to the highest level..
Willas stopped walking when he heard those words praising Roman, as if he was so proud of Roman Dmitri that he couldn't bear it..
surrounding scenery.
It was really dull.
A unique atmosphere in the outskirts.
It was decided that in this place called the city of mining, a talent capable of defeating Homer could not be born..
however.
It was different now..
‘Roman Dmitry, what on earth is that guy??’
A meeting postponed until tomorrow.
I told Baron Romero that I wouldn't mind a day's delay, but now I wanted to see Roman as soon as possible..
My child is worn out..
protagonist of rumors.
What kind of person is Roman Dmitry?.
The only way to confirm the truth about him, who completely destroyed common sense, was to check his face in person..
