Episode 165: Improving your constitution. (4)
Jiselle was secretly satisfied when she saw the eyes of the trainee knights.
You can see the firm will and passion in their eyes. It was obvious that they all didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
‘I’m ready now.’
This is exactly what Jiselle was waiting for, because this training was extremely dangerous.
As if pouring oil on the heated atmosphere, Giselle opened her mouth again.
“They say that even with proper mana cultivation methods, it takes years of practice to be able to use mana. But don’t worry. I will explain it to you in a very easy-to-understand way. In two months, everyone will be able to use mana.”
Unlike his close associates, Jiselle intended to personally look after each of them.
If you just leave them to figure it out, they won’t understand, and it may take years.
Only Giselle knew how to drastically shorten that period.
“Wow!”
Once again there was a roar of applause.
Mana Focus simply helps you gather mana a little faster.
Learning and using the Mana Conjuration Method was a completely different story.
I thought it would take at least a few years to train, but it only took two months!
Hearing these unbelievable stories over and over again, I began to doubt whether this was really a dream.
Jiselle spoke confidently, crossing her arms arrogantly.
“It is entirely possible. This is because it is an attribute mana cultivation method that I personally improved!”
“… … .”
The heated atmosphere calmed down in an instant.
They also have basic common sense.
Mana training methods have found ways to reduce side effects over many years.
But the young lord improved the Mana training method on his own?
No matter how great the lord’s skills were, he couldn’t help but be suspicious. If he made a mistake, he could die.
The trainees looked around nervously, but Jiselle pretended not to notice and spoke.
“Okay, then let’s get started. It’s been a while since I’ve done this, so I think it would be better to start with someone a little stronger… … . Right, Gordon, you come out first.”
The first person to be called out was ‘Muscle Gordon’, who shook his head in horror.
“Me, me? Can’t we go with someone else first?”
“You said you were upset that Milal went into the Mana gathering before you last time? This time, I’ll let you go in first. Come out quickly.”
As Gordon came out hesitantly, Giselle looked him up and down and nodded with a satisfied look in her eyes.
‘If you’ve built up your muscles to this extent, you must have some patience.’
Giselle placed her palm on Gordon’s back as he sat on the floor.
“Okay, let’s begin. I will forcibly draw out mana and imprint it on your body, so remember the path the mana moves along.”
“Oh, I see. You won’t die or become a wreck or anything, right?”
“If you can’t stand it, then it might happen. Then there’s nothing you can do.”
“Are you really going to die? Wait a minute!”
Wooooow!
Before Gordon could even escape, mana began to be sucked into his body through Giselle’s hand.
“Ugh!”
Gordon screamed in pain, feeling as if a sharp blade was slicing through his body.
Something clumped under my belly button and soon spread throughout my body.
Everywhere it passed, I felt a pain as if my body was being torn apart.
“Eww! Wait! Wait!”
“It’s a shame that everything is going to fly away! Shut your mouth! Hang in there! Don’t miss out on how it moves inside your body and remember it! Vanessa held on well, so why are you joking already!”
“Eww! I can’t! I can’t! I’m going to die from the pain!”
It’s not called a shortcut for nothing. The faster the results, the more the price has to be paid.
I had to force mana into my body and create a mana rod, so I couldn’t help but experience tremendous pain.
In excruciating pain, Gordon jumped up and tried to run away.
It was about to fly away with the newly formed spirit of loyalty.
But Giselle isn’t the type to just let that happen.
Snap!
Giselle wrapped one arm around Gordon’s neck to prevent him from escaping, and continued to pour mana into him with the other hand.
To other people, it seemed like he was trying to kill them rather than teach them the Mana training method.
“Kueeeeek! Let go! Eughhhh!”
“Ah, I said just hold on! Let’s at least clear the Mana Road first!”
I thought I would be able to hold up well because I have a lot of muscle, but this is a joke.
Jiselle continued to force mana into Gordon’s body, forcibly creating a mana rod.
“Keeek! Cool! Knock!”
In constant pain, Gordon’s eyes rolled back and he began to vomit blood from his mouth.
But Jiselle didn’t stop. She had to create a Mana Road first before she could train in the concentration camp.
Gordon couldn’t hold out and eventually lost consciousness.
And then, after some more time had passed, Giselle wiped the sweat from her forehead and let him go.
dump.
Gordon was lying there, foaming at the mouth, shivering.
Looking at him like that, Jiselle smiled brightly.
“Phew, is it because it’s been a while? It’s taking longer than I thought.”
“… … .”
They say nothing in life is easy, and this moment was no exception.

The trainees who had been waiting all stepped back slowly as if they had made a promise.
Looking at them like that, Jiselle smiled evilly.
“What? Where did all that passion go? Should I prepare for the next person?”
One of the trainees asked cautiously.
“There… … something looks extremely dangerous. Do you really have to do that?”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Can’t we just learn it the right way? You can give it to us in a book or teach us verbally, and we can practice on our own and ask questions if we don’t know something… .”
I racked my brain and came up with an opinion, but it was useless to Jiselle.
“What are you talking about? When will you learn it like that? How many years of training are you going to do? No, even if I tell you in words, most of you won’t understand, right? That’s why I’m teaching you with my body now so that you can understand easily.”
‘Ah, so that’s what you meant by easy to understand.’
The trainees were just sweating profusely.
That makes sense. Pain definitely leaves a mark on the body and mind.
The fastest way to create a mana road is to have Giselle forcefully break through it like now.
I knew it in my head, but I couldn’t help but feel scared when I saw Gordon lying there, foaming at the mouth.
At that time, when everyone was unable to do anything, Gordon’s seizure symptoms, which had been occurring while he was lying on the ground, became more severe.
“Ugh, crunch, gurgle!”
Even while unconscious, he was in agony and kept vomiting blood.
It was because the mana that was forcibly injected had messed up my body.
You have to endure it with willpower and learn the flow, but it was a mess from the beginning.
“This guy is really mean. Why is he so weak despite being so big?”
Jiselle, who clicked her tongue, gestured to the servants waiting around her.
“Take her to Belinda quickly. Feed her the herbs you prepared and make her rest. If you’re late, she might die, so go quickly. Oh, she’s already dead?”
“Okay, I’m not dead yet.”
The employees moved calmly without blinking, as if they had already anticipated this outcome.
The trainee knights who saw that sight were convinced.
Yeongju knew this would happen and had even prepared for it.
They said they wouldn’t let me die during the war, but I ended up dying while training.
‘Oh, what should I do?’
‘I have to do it, but… ‘
‘That looks so painful.’
I couldn’t run away because I was scared. If I missed this opportunity, I would regret it for the rest of my life.
I had to endure and learn somehow, even if it meant risking my life.
But when it comes to risking one’s life, one’s feet don’t move easily.
While everyone was hesitating, a quiet-looking man walked out with brisk strides.
“I’ll start from here.”
“Well, you?”
“This is Lucas, the new member.”
Jiselle nodded. She pretended not to know, but she actually knew who it was.
Lucas, who was my subordinate in my previous life.
He is a man of great talent who later received the title of Master with just one spear.
He was a man who always liked to chew on loneliness, holding on to his weight with his arms crossed.
He then looked back at the people behind him and laughed.
“You all act like you’re all so great, but you’re really nothing special. If you can learn the Mana training method with this much pain, you’ll get what you pay for. You cowards.”
“This kid… … .”
At Lucas’ provocation, the mercenaries who had been with Giselle for a long time snorted.
In this situation, the flow of initiative changes depending on who steps forward first.
Even without that, the existing mercenaries and the new ones were bickering with each other every day.
But while I was hesitating for a moment, I lost my turn to the newcomer and was even provoked.
Lucas, who had been laughing out loud at the sight of the angry faces of the people, collapsed in front of Giselle.
“I am ready. My lord, do as you wish.”
Giselle smiled at the determined attitude.
‘As expected, Lucas. He’s the man I chose.’
Giselle smiled and put her hand on Lucas’ back.
As soon as that happened, a strange scream rang out.
“Huh, huh, huh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”
“… … It hasn’t even started yet.”
Jiselle sighed.
I had completely forgotten that there were hardly any normal people in my mercenary group.
Come to think of it, this guy was a guy who would make a fuss and say that even a single scratch would hurt in his past life.
It was even funnier because that guy really liked holding onto weight.
Since it was something that had to be done anyway, he probably did it first because he wanted to look cool.
Lucas scratched his head with an embarrassed smile.
“Oh, it hasn’t started yet?”
“It’s just the beginning. Lonely prankster Lucas.”
Paaak!
“Eww!”
Lucas screamed in pain, forgetting to keep his mouth shut and endure it.
He too, like Gordon, tried to get up and run away, but it was impossible since he was caught by Giselle.
Giselle grabbed Lucas by the neck and whispered in his ear.
“Just stay still. You’re going to joke around and run away when all these people are watching? You don’t like being treated like shit, do you?”
“Ugh, ugh!”
Lucas gritted his teeth at those words.
I don’t like to look cheap. I always want to look cool.
‘I want to live cool and stylishly!’
I held on with that one thought, but this pain was not an opponent that could be defeated so easily.
“Kueeeeek… … .”
Eventually Lucas lost his mind.
The servants carried him out as he collapsed, foaming at the mouth.
Jiselle shook her head a few times, sighed, and said.
“next?”
Gordon fell and Lucas fell too, but the atmosphere was a little different than before.
A few people bravely stepped forward, leaving those who were watching their step behind.
“I’ll do it this time.”
“I came out first.”
Most of them were new members.
They left everything behind and left their hometown. Now, they had nowhere to return to.
They were so thirsty for the chance to become stronger than anyone else that they were ready to give up their lives.
Then, the existing mercenaries whose pride was hurt also rushed to join in.
“No! I’ll go first!”
“Hey! Everyone get out of the way! What kind of rookie is going first? I’ll go first!”
It was from the conviction that I couldn’t be pushed aside by new recruits in an embarrassing way.
‘I was going to do it anyway! I just hesitated because I thought it might hurt a little.’
Looking at those who came forward curiously, Giselle finally showed a satisfied expression.
“Okay, this is much better than before.”
The enemies you will face in the future will not be easy. They will not be enough even if you risk your life to fight them. It will be difficult to be frightened and defeated by this.
Only those who would risk their lives fighting alongside him were worthy of everything.
“Go fast. Hold on somehow.”
“Eeeeeeeeek!”
“Keeeeeek!”
The apprentice knights who had been touched by Giselle were writhing in pain. They had stepped forward with great courage, but the pain was not something that could be endured with courage alone.
Still, not everyone was foaming at the mouth, spitting up blood and fainting.
There were those who clenched their teeth, opened their eyes wide, and held on until the end.
‘Hmm, I thought this guy would be like that. This guy is a bit unexpected?’
Jiselle narrowed her eyes.
I thought that some of my subordinates from my previous life would be able to hold out, and as expected, they did. However, I did not expect that some of my existing mercenaries would hold out as well.
It’s a good start. Of course, most people fell down foaming at the mouth, but there were more people than you’d think who didn’t lose their minds.
Some people followed Giselle’s instructions and held on, while others barely held on to their sanity due to their pride.
One thing is certain, they have all shed their shells and taken a step forward.
“Euuuuuuu… … .”
“I feel like I’m going to die… … . Is it over now?”
Groans echoed from all directions. The hastily reinforced servants carried the fallen to the treatment room.
Fortunately, no one died.
A trainee knight who was being carried out on a stretcher asked Giselle with a smile that was a mixture of pride and relief at having held out.
“Now… … it’s all over? Can I use mana now?”
Then Giselle wiped her nose once and answered.
“What are you talking about? How can you use up your mana if you did this once? Today, I just got a little bit of ground. I need to do it a few more times to properly pave the way. I need to train at the concentration camp and learn how to emit.”
Obviously, he said that if I held out like this I would be able to use mana, but he didn’t say that it would only be once.
But to the trainee reporter, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Are you going to do something so painful and possibly fatal again? No, how many more times do you have to do it?
I felt like the sky was falling down.
“Just kill me… … .”
The trainee reporter, who had been holding back tears, fainted.
