Gerdinger trainees start their day early in the morning.
The fact that he was selected as Jerdinger’s apprentice is itself proof that he has considerable aptitude and talent as a knight.
However, no matter how talented you are, if you do not work hard in a place where peers of similar level to yourself gather, you are likely to be left out.
Therefore, Martina started her day earlier than other trainees.
Martina got up from her seat with a wet face and got off the bed, yawning.
And I shook my roommate, Karin, who was sleeping soundly, to wake her up.
“Hey, Karin. wake up.”
“Ugh?”
Karin, who was snuggling under the blanket, stuck her head out and stretched like a cat.
And suddenly-! I got up, washed my face, and got ready to leave.
When we went outside, Austin, Julan, and Valerie were waiting.
They were all knights of Leo.
After these five trainees became members of the Knights of Leo, they woke up a little earlier than other trainees and began training.
It was a natural decision for the five who realized that they were not good enough to become Leo’s knights.
Especially since yesterday, I have been even more motivated.
‘Master Leo accepted us.’
Among the trainees, there are many people with better skills than these five.
Leo tried to resign from the Order out of concern that his reputation would be tarnished, but he said he would take the five who had chosen him with him.
Martina clenched her fists.
‘Let’s work harder and become a knight worthy of Master Leo.’
It was time for Martina to gather her will.
“Oh, it looks like they are going for training?”
“As expected, hero candidates are different?”
“Giggle. I guess it was quite urgent. “Seeing as you even said that to Master Leo.”
Other trainees, who normally wouldn’t have happened, giggled at Martina.
“Why are they acting like that since dawn?”
Karin grumbled.
“Ignore it.”
Austin said calmly.
“that’s right. They’re top-ranked kids. “The fact that I woke up this early in the morning, when I don’t usually wake up, is because I want to impress Master Leo.”
Julan grinned and agreed with Austin.
So Leo’s knights headed to the promised training location.
And when they saw Leo there first, the five looked very embarrassed.
“Master Leo?”
“Oh, it’s still earlier than the scheduled training time?”
Austin and Karin looked embarrassed.
“I’m here?”
Perhaps because of the cold air of an early winter dawn, my breath came out.
The five trainees hurriedly stood in front of Leo.
Leo said while looking at those practitioners.
“Starting today, I will awaken your abilities.”
At Leo’s words, the trainees stood at attention.
“yep!”
“You said you wanted to have the skills to be a knight of mine, right? In that case, just follow my training carefully.”
“All right!”
Leo’s knights responded vigorously.
“The goal is to pass the Lumern entrance exam this year.”
“yes! I will work hard… … !”
The trainees who were shouting enthusiastically stopped.
Then he looked at Leo with a puzzled face.
“Lu, are you entering Rumern?”
“How do we get into Rumern?”
It was an impossible story.
Students who enter Lumern are literally a select few.
The hurdles are so high that only a very small number of top-ranked Rumeren trainees can pass.
But to enter Rumern!
Leo said while looking at them in confusion.
“You can all handle Aurors, right?”
“yes.”
“I can’t even handle an Auror, but I passed the test.”
‘That’s something special about Master Leo!’
All of the knights unknowingly rebelled against Leo’s envious words.
But it wasn’t wrong.
Leo also knew that what he was saying was nonsense.
Nevertheless, Leo shamelessly used himself as an example.
“Do you guys know these words?”
“which?”

“If it can’t be done, make it happen.”
‘It’s something incredibly scary.’
The five knights, including Martina, were trembled.
Leo’s eyes had a look that would make something that really shouldn’t happen happen.
Of course, everyone could sense that they were the ones dying in the process.
While everyone was swallowing dry saliva, Leo crossed his arms.
“Of course, if you’re not confident, you can quit. Even so, I will not abandon you who chose me.”
Leo continued speaking calmly.
“I will guide you to become stronger. But if you enroll in Lumern, you will be able to rise to even higher heights.”
The trainees trembled at Leo’s words.
“I made the offer because I thought there was potential.”
Looking at Leo speaking calmly, the knight felt his heart tremble.
I was so happy just to become Leo’s knight.
But Rumern.
This is the age of heroes.
That’s why everyone dreams of becoming a hero at least once.
The same was true for five people.
However, as a student of Gerdinger, you naturally realize this while practicing.
He says he can’t be a hero.
But Leo’s words seemed to make me dream again of a dream I had abandoned a long time ago.
“I’ll do it.”
Martina spoke powerfully.
“I will follow Master Leo.”
Starting with Martina, other trainees also burned their will.
“I will do it too!”
“me too!”
“Please train me!”
“please!”
Leo smiled at that sight.
“Yes, good posture.”
Leo nodded and said.
“Then shall we all start with body modification?”
“?”
At the mention of body modification, the five people looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
They had to realize this at this time.
I should have run away then.
***
Two weeks have passed since Leo’s training began.
And Celia was climbing the mountain in the Gerdinger family.
“How on earth does he want to harass his knights by coming all the way to the mountain behind this to train?”
Celia clicked her tongue.
The day when five people burned their will to enter Lumern.
Leo packed his bags and left Gerdinger’s castle.
The reason was simple.
It was for training.
He received permission from Jis, the general manager of the trainees, and went on a training trip with five people.
The person following Celia was none other than Niel, a fourth-year student in the knight department of Rumern.
As a knight of Celia, she followed to assist her lord as he left his hometown.
And when I heard that Leo was making all of his knights into Lumerun students, I became interested.
“But even Master Leo can make five trainees with mid-level grades into Rumern students?”
Niel tilted his head.
In fact, Leo’s actions are almost like a myth even among older students.
An unprecedented all class.
His performance in the Gigantes subjugation during the first semester.
In addition, in the second semester, he proudly took over the position of student council president.
But even so, this declaration was so absurd.
I knew it well because I was Niel, who was Gerdinger’s trainee.
This is how big the difference is between students with mid-level skills and students entering Rumern.
Leo himself wouldn’t know.
Niel thought it was impossible to bring others to that level in a few months.
“Besides, I wonder if it will be more efficient than the training at the Gerdinger Training Center.”
Celia said after hearing Niel’s words.
“Niel, you don’t know much about her yet.”
“yes?”
“He’s a guy who does it if he can.”
Celia shuddered.
Celia knows well how harsh Leo’s training is.
For the past year, the people who suffered the most from Leo were her and Chelsea.
Of course, recently, I have somewhat adapted to the intensity of Leo’s training.
However, even in the beginning, I had to suffer from muscle pain every weekend.
And thanks to that, Celia was able to maintain the top position in the knight department for a year despite strong competitors such as Chen Xia and Duran.
As the two people were searching the mountain, they heard a voice in their ears, ‘Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!’ A scream rang out.
The two people who heard the sound, looked at each other, and quickly walked away.
Celia and Niel, who ran toward the sound, were speechless at the sight that unfolded before their eyes.
“Swing. “If you can’t swing it, you’ll die.”
Leo says something scary and expressionless.
And Austin goes, ‘Oooooh!’ He shouted and swung his bastard.
The huge rock that fell on him and his head was chopped into pieces.
Julan was trapped in a huge water droplet and was cackling.
Karin, trapped in the darkness of the abyss, is like, wow! Valerie was screaming, her entire body was wrapped in chains and being beaten by the golem that Leo had created.
Lastly, Martina was crawling on the floor, weighed down by tremendous gravity.
“… … . what. “What about this hell?”
As Niel mumbled in an absent-minded voice, Celia held her face and shook her head.
“I knew it.”
For Niel, it was a scene beyond imagination, but for Celia, it was a scene that could have been expected.
And Celia hated her imagination.
This is because I was able to imagine this because I suffered that much from Leo.
As Celia was laughing sadly, Leo, who spotted the two, approached them.
In the meantime, the trainees’ training did not stop.
“… … . I don’t want to hear it, but I’m curious so I’ll ask. “What on earth are you doing?”
Leo said in response to Celia’s question.
“I’m undergoing body modification.”
Celia narrowed her eyes at the strangely strange word.
“Why is your body being remodeled?”
“It’s to awaken each person’s talents.”
“Talent?”
“okay.”
Leo himself knew best that it was not easy to enter Lumern simply through hard work.
Even in Leo’s judgment, it was difficult for all five of them to pass the Lumern entrance exam with their immediate skills as a ‘knight’.
However, Leo was still confident that the five would pass the entrance exam.
The reason was simple.
Leo had the eyes of a great hero and all class.
And from his perspective, the members of his knights had other talents besides being knights.
“Austin has talent as a wizard.”
Leo pointed at Austin, who was swinging his sword in a nearly dying state.
That sword was a sword that sealed the abilities of an Auror.
“The sword contains a cutting magic spell created by Austin himself.”
That’s why Austin had to study magical arts until he had a headache without any training for ten days during the past two weeks.
And at the risk of death, he was forcibly awakening his magic power.
“Julan and Karen have talent as spiritists. That is why she is trapped in the water and darkness in order to awaken her spirit affinity.”
Of course, it wasn’t just about being locked in water and darkness.
That place is a space filled with the power of spirits, created by the power of spirits.
It was optimal for awakening the power of sleeping spirits.
“… … . “What about Martina and Valerie?”
When Niel asked with a puzzled expression, Leo shrugged his shoulders.
“They have no talent as wizards or summoners. So, I am awakening my Auror characteristics.”
“Auror characteristics?”
“Yes, Valerie’s Auror traits are invaluable. “It’s the same ‘accumulation’ as Senior Hark.”
Leo grinned.
Niel looked surprised when he heard that.
“really?”
“yes. Another difference is that Senior Hark accumulates strength through ‘sleeping’, while Valerie accumulates strength through ‘hitting’. So, we need to develop tenacity, so we tie them up like that and beat them up.”
“That’s just ignorant.”
“Originally, simple and ignorant training is the best. “You know it well, right?”
Celia, who wrapped herself around herself, shuddered as she saw Leo smiling.
“What about Martina?”
“Martina is purely about strengthening the body.”
She does not have magical talent like Austin, nor does she have elemental magic talent like Zulan and Karen.
However, she does not have special Auror characteristics like Valerie.
He was just a pure knight, a talent in and of itself.
“… … . “It might not feel good.”
Niel gave an expression of disappointment.
There are talents hidden in others, but not in you.
Niel, who had lived as a trainee of Gerdinger and a student of Rumern, knew well how big a shock that fact would come to him.
Because you are not the only one who is special.
Leo chuckled at Niel’s words.
“yes. But he’s no problem.”
“Why are you so sure?”
Leo laughed at Celia’s question.
“I know how to push the limits.”
Go beyond your limits.
That was Rumern’s lesson as well.
It was different from other practitioners.
Austin, Karin, Julan, and Valerie discovered new abilities through Leo’s eyes and were quickly developing them.
As a result, it was showing rapid growth.
But Martina was different.
She had no choice but to strengthen her existing abilities.
However, Martina kept up with Leo’s hellish training and kept up with him.
If you grit your teeth and face a wall, you won’t hesitate to hit it.
“It is the greatest virtue for becoming strong.”
Leo said, gritting his teeth and looking at Martina, who had overcome his gravity magic and stood up shakily.
“You will become stronger. “He is.”
At those words, Celia said ‘Huh’ and looked at Martina.
Celia and Martina are the same age.
That’s why we lived together as trainees.
‘He’s definitely a hard worker.’
I didn’t know that those traits of a hard worker would blossom when I met Leo.
“But if you focus on other abilities like this, won’t your skills as a knight actually not develop? “Still, you are Gerdinger’s apprentice in name only.”
When Niel looked regretful, Leo picked up a rock rolling on the floor.
“Don’t worry about that.”
Then, he lifted the elemental magic and magic that was bothering the trainees.
The trainees who regained their freedom in an instant were shocked ! I shivered.
Without hesitation, Leo threw the rock he had picked up at them.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Wow!
“Quite a sum!”
Karin, hit on the shoulder by a rock, screamed and rolled on the floor.
Although I was able to protect myself with aura for a moment, it was painful enough to kill me.
“This is how we attack by surprise so that we can increase our auror control ability. Karin! “Is it worth holding on to?”
“you! “I’m going to kill you someday!”
Despite Carin’s angry cries, Leo laughed and threw another rock at Carin.
“Kwaaaak!”
‘It’s the devil. This man is the devil.’
Niel was confident in his heart.
“So, why did you come to see me? “I told you not to look for it for about a month.”
Leo asked, throwing rocks at his knights.
Celia spoke amid the screams of the trainees.
“An announcement came from Rumern.”
“In Lumern?”
“huh. “Some of those scheduled to be promoted to the second year have been ordered to be summoned to the Rodren Empire.”
“I guess that includes you and me?”
“It’s not just that.”
Celia handed the list to Leo.
Leo, who received it, scratched his cheek.
“It’s an integrated test… … . But you’re gathering these members?”
“huh.”
Leo muttered when he saw the name of the professor in charge of the test.
“I guess it’s a test project for us?”
“huh?”
“I guess you’re planning on telling us to catch those who are scheduled to enroll?”
“no way. “Would you do something like that even for the Lumern entrance exam?”
“that’s right. that’s right.”
Niel said with a smile.
Celia nodded while looking at Niel.
It is no exaggeration to say that the difference between the skills of second-year students during the entrance exam and those promoted to the second year is heaven and earth.
In particular, the current second-year students at Lumerun are one of the golden generations in Lumern’s history.
Even except for Leo.
The second-year top class, led by Leo and Celia, was not at a level that the entrance exam students could handle.
“The professor in charge of the test is Professor Halind.”
Leo said with a sour expression.
“I think this is what I would do if I were Professor Halind.”
Rumern Wailing Wall.
Absolute fear among students.
Leo, who had experienced Halind for a year, was confident.
After hearing Leo’s words, Celia and Niel looked at each other.
“So what will you do if you meet your knights in the exam?”
Leo answered Celia’s question calmly.
“Are you going to do everything you can to take it down?”
There was nothing to consider in Leo’s dictionary.
