34Mars Holy Grail Knight Standing Army Training Manual

Leon plans to revive the Holy Grail Knights..

But I know that in this day and age, it is not easy to find the talent of a Holy Grail Knight..

Cases like Yacht Spinner are an extreme exception. Above all, before the Knights of the Holy Grail, soldiers were needed to assist the knights..

It was for this reason that Leon gathered low-level hunters, including Koo Dae-seong..

They must become armed soldiers armed with spears and shields and become an iron wall supporting the knights..

"I wouldn't say it's below expectations, but it's just mediocre.."

"First of all, since they are hunters, their basic stamina is good.?"

Hari doesn't know what Leon's world is like. Generally speaking, even though hunters were of low rank, they were incredibly talented soldiers..

They're just so-so?

"joy. Look at them. Aren't you so tired and tired even though you only killed 4,000 dying orcs?."

"yes?"

Hari couldn't understand what Leon was saying. Even though most of them died from radiation, there were still over a thousand orcs left..

Even if they are sick orcs, isn't it natural for them to get tired after running around trying to catch them??

"I don't want the level of a knight-errant for general-purpose people. But, aren’t they, in their own way, superhumans of this world?."

"Right... Yes?"

"Then shouldn't it be at least at the level of Jim's extreme physical illness? I don't even want Elderric Master Guards or Rohana's Holy Watchers. But even with the protection of the Lion Heart, they are not even at the level of the Baltaric orc crushers.."

"……your majesty. I have no idea what you're talking about.."

Leon realized that he had said something that Hari could not understand. But even though he knew, he couldn't help but think of the soldiers who shared the glory with him and compare them to the hunters..

"To put it simply, the Baltaric orc crushers were able to deal with five orcs alone. Ten if the War Knight's protection exists. When I was with Jim, we slaughtered 30 animals.."

"……That's not an article?"

Orcs are the most difficult and powerful monsters in the gate, excluding medium to large monsters. Once you become a high-level warrior, even a B-level hunter will have a hard time dealing with you one-on-one..

They slaughter thirty orcs at a time, but they are not knight-level? It's hard for Hari to deal with 30 orcs alone.?

"What on earth was a knight in Your Majesty’s world??"

"Your guy would be at the level of a knight-errant.."

Hari was stunned. Even though she is young, she is the youngest A-class hunter and says she is at the level of a knight-errant.?

Right now, Leon had three levels of knighthood..

A knight of eccentricity. Executioner… And the Holy Grail Knight.

'It wasn't empty words when I said I was weak.…….'

Hari realized that Leon's standards were so high that even the hunters of modern Earth would look down on him..

'If Sir Yappy is at the level of a Holy Grail Knight... It means that all Holy Grail Knights are S-class Hunters or higher.?!'

-Gulp!

If Leon's Holy Grail Knights are revived in modern times... Wouldn’t that be an unprecedented situation that would upset the balance of military power around the world??

"First of all, I need to raise my level to at least the level of a professional soldier.."

"Uh, how… Are you willing to do it??"

Indeed, what is the training method of this Lionheart King? Can you get that training yourself??

Looking at Hari's expectant gaze, Leon said indifferently:.

"physical training."

* * * *

49 hunters, including team leader Koo Dae-seong and Kim Do-han, were summoned to a temporary training ground set up in the Naju plains..

"Wow, they paid a lot of money for training expenses.?"

"That's right. I don't have to worry about making living expenses for the time being.."

Even though they were told to undergo training, they had no choice but to come back because they felt the elation they felt at the Oak Gate and that they had actually become stronger..

All kinds of buffs from Lionheart and Orc Butcher. Moreover, since each of them has received the Orc Hunter trait and the War Knight's Man at Arms trait, there is nothing we can do about it..

Orc Hunter was a buff that could only be received when fighting with Orcs, and War Knight's Man at Arms was also a buff that could only be received when fighting with Leon..

Moreover, rather than acting as a porter at the gate, he decided that it would be better for the future to receive training costs and come visit him..

"By the way, Mr. Gu. What's wrong with your face? My lips are swollen?"

As team leader Kim Do-han said, Koo Dae-sung’s face was swollen here and there..

"You can't believe it... Have you just joined the gate attack team??"

"Yeah… I'm itching, so I'll go to the blue gate.……."

After fighting at the yellow gate with Leon, Koo Dae-seong felt an unknown sense of elation and omnipotence..

Hasn't he really become stronger? Thinking that I would fight better than usual, I decided to join the blue gate raid team as a daily party member..

It was a goblin hunt, but my body was not as strong or light as it was at the Orc Gate, and I returned home after being beaten badly by the goblins' crude clubs..

"Well, then you get hurt. Just do it in moderation."

"Yes……."

While the hall was whispering, Hari entered and shouted as loud as he could..

"His Majesty Leon Dragonia Lionheart and the Holy Grail Knight Lord Yacht Spinner are entering.!"

At those words, everyone stopped and fell silent. As soon as Leon appears, they stop like a united unit..

"Congratulations on passing this simple test. There are a lot of things that are lacking in Jim's group, but we can improve on that in the future.."

A simple test? the oak gate?

Although they are low level hunters, they cleared the yellow grade Orc Gate..

Didn't Leon, who couldn't tolerate the very existence of orcs, turn all of the more than 4,000 orcs into enemies??

I had never killed so many orcs in my life, so I was even given the title 'Orc Hunter' as a reward..

"As I watched your battle, I discovered many problems. There are many, but the most important thing is the body.."

The hunters did not show much antipathy to those words..

That was natural. Hunters show huge physical differences depending on their level..

Right now, a C-class is stronger than three D-class hunters. As the level increases, the difference increases exponentially..

'It would be possible for Han Hari to kill all of us alone.…….'

Han Ha-ri, the youngest A-level hunter in Korea, was able to kill all the hunters present with just his physical strength..

Since she also has the unique skill Blessing of Fire, the difference is bound to increase even more..

"So I decided to start with training you guys. From now on, you will be thoroughly trained according to my training manual for the Lionheart Kingdom's standing army.."

-standing army training?

-Is this medieval military training??

-Well, I don't think it'll be that difficult..

They were hunters. Whether you're working as a porter in combat or training to become an advanced hunter, it's not a job that requires training..

The reason they remain as low-level hunters even though they fly and crawl is because their limitations were clear..

I don't think anything will change much if the Lionheart King from a medieval fantasy kingdom trains you..

"Hmm, full of disbelief. However, I understand. Unlike my subjects, you are ignorant.."

Koo Dae-seong carefully raised his hand. Leon saw this and dismissed his remarks..

"your majesty… How is that training... Are you planning to do it??"

"What do you think I need to do to train my body?."

"note… Muscle training… Why not do the same thing??"

"What is the principle of muscle training?."

Koo Dae-seong thought for a moment before answering those words..

"The organs of the body… There is something called a recovery mechanism. When muscles are destroyed and regenerated repeatedly, they become stronger and larger.."

"That's right. Overloading the body to expand its limits. Everything in the world increases in that way.."

It was the most basic methodology of training. Activates muscles and overloads them again through regeneration and rest periods..

It's such an obvious and basic story..

"Sir Gratas the Giant Slayer, the Holy Grail Knight who created the standing army training manual, said this. ‘The more people hit, the stronger and harder they become.’ It is truly a famous saying.."

"yes?"

It makes sense that people are not iron and that they become stronger by being beaten.?

"So how should professional soldiers who protect the kingdom be trained? Of course, we will have to take a different approach from the farmers! Therefore, Sir Gratas came up with the following idea to achieve maximum efficiency.!"

The hunters were filled with anxiety at Leon's triumphant voice..

"All you have to do is tear the soldiers' entire bodies apart, pound them, and then restore them. If you do this, not only will the ruptured and regenerated muscles become stronger, but your visual acuity will also increase so that you can be hit less often.."

"……yes?"

"What are you talking about??"

What is so extreme! Hunters including Koo Dae-seong looked at Leon blankly with astonished expressions..

"From now on, knock each other to death! So much so that the muscles in your whole body are torn and your fists that were pounding are torn apart.!"

It would be better if even the bones were broken. No, focus on breaking it.!

"Oh, that's ridiculous! Oh, no, that's not wrong.!"

In fact, the more human bones and muscles break, the stronger and thicker they become. Martial artists didn’t train their fists by pounding on an iron plate for nothing..

"Well, if you do something like that, it will hurt your body first.!"

"Why is it hurting??"

It was a question that I had no energy to answer. Why do people get bone disease? Because the body has limits and an upper limit..

If all humans could become superhumans just by pounding their bodies, they would have trained soldiers in that way, starting with armies from long ago..

"Originally, the War Knight's protection would be enough, but consider yourself lucky that what is in front of you is the guardian of the Holy Grail.."

Leon took out the Holy Grail. The brilliant golden chalice spreads a radiance that moves people with its mere presence..

And the functioning Holy Grail was not just a shining golden cup..

"uh? Mr. Gu, you."

"yes? Uh oh?"

Team leader Kim Do-han looked at Koo Dae-seong with a surprised face. That's because his bruised face has recovered and become clean before he knows it..

'Surely that cup?'

Koo Dae-seong's guess was exactly right..

"All warriors are restored at the location where the Holy Grail is placed. Unless you drank the holy water directly, it would be at the level of bones bonding and torn muscles regenerating. Fatigue will also recover moderately.."

That alone is huge! The hunters were astonished. With this recovery ability alone, the Holy Grail was at least a unique level treasure..

"Five hours from now. Beat up everyone in sight for five hours. There are no allies. Completely alone, face attacks from all directions and defeat the opponent in front of you.."

Hit while getting hit.

There is no such thing as winning or losing.

"As long as the Holy Grail exists, you will continue to be restored. should… If there's a guy who's still fine after five hours, the king himself will beat him up.."

To put it simply, it is like this.

Beat each other so hard that it exceeds the recovery speed of the Holy Grail..

Get hit, beat, hurt, and broken. I'll recover anyway.

'it's crazy! That man is crazy!'

'Really? They really train in this ignorant way.?'

start.

Despite Leon's command, the hunters stared at each other with awkward expressions. But Yappy swung the wire at them as they didn't move for a while..

-Karan!

An eerie sound rang out, like an overseer's whip urging slaves to build a pyramid..

"Holy shit!"

"You die this way, you die that way,!"

"I'm dying!"

Hunters tangled together and shook their fists. The five hellish hours of being hit, knocked and broken have begun..

At first, Koo Dae-seong also avoided attacks as much as possible and beat down the opponent in front of him..

However, it is a chaos involving 49 people. In this place where there was no room to run away, it was less appropriate to just beat the opponent down..

"Wow!"

Just when he was about to scream and swing his fist, the person in front of him looked familiar..

"Gu, Mr. Gu! it's me! It's me!"

"Ki, Team Leader Kim?"

"Oh, there's no need for us to hit each other, right? Let's join forces!"

"Ha, but……."

It was then. A sharp noise passed through the ears of the two people. A 'live bullet' was calculated precisely and threatened only two people..

-Kikluk.

There, above the head of Hari, who was looking at this mess with a sad expression, Yappy with emotionless red eyes was aiming a minimal-sized machine gun..

"Oh my god…!"

Koo Dae-seong felt threatened and swung his fist at Team Leader Kim in front of him. Koo Dae-seong screams as he sees Team Leader Kim falling backwards..

"This is crazy! It's all crazy! Kuheuk!"

But that scream lasts only for a moment. Koo Dae-seong's screams are drowned out by hunters flocking from all directions..

The five hellish hours are over. It was past noon..

"Okay, stop! I guess I should train while eating. It's meal time now!"

As Leon clapped his hands, the hunters fell asleep with swollen faces and bruises here and there. Even though the fight was so fierce, not a single bone was broken, perhaps thanks to the healing power of the Holy Grail..

No, more accurately, it should be said that even the broken bones were healed and he was able to fight again..

"Ugh… I really thought I was going to die."

"I've never heard of such an ignorant training method.."

No matter how much they beat each other, the hunters didn't even feel any pain. All I feel is endless hunger and thirst..

"ship, I'm hungry."

"I need to eat something."

"I heard that blessed rice is so famous here... Are you going to give me that??"

Everyone was looking forward to the hottest ‘blessed rice’ in the Naju plains..

A rare item that not only cures cancer and makes you healthier just by eating it, but also increases ‘physical strength recovery’..

After it became hot as a Youtuber recently, wasn't its efficacy announced at the association level?.

But what was placed in front of them was food they could not have imagined..

"……."

"……."

The hunters tilted their heads at the ‘lunch’ in front of them. It's because I didn't understand the intention..

"I… Hari, what is this??"

Hari also makes a guilty expression as he looks at me with suspicion. However, Leon answered with a calm expression..

"It's water."

"No, that’s… I know, but."

"It is water with salt and sugar added.."

"ah… That's right."

You added sugar and salt to the water..

The hunters looked like they wanted to say something, but when they saw Leon's vague gaze, they lowered their eyes..

'what?'

'I feel like my common sense is being denied.'

'I went through a lot of trouble, but my meals were water with salt and sugar in it.?'

what?

Is there something bigger that these ignorant people don't know about??

-Kikluk.

Yappy approached the confused hunters. His robotic arm holds a salt shaker..

-salt. who needs more?

Sir Gratas the Giant Slayer.
