Chapter 29 – Growth
‘Honestly’
‘Awake.’
Jun and Fortuna looked at Robin with subtle expressions.
Profound charm and reticence. She looked like the symbol of a strict father, but in reality, she was a rude person who couldn’t even say a word to her daughter.
She couldn’t tell the inside of a person just by looking at the outside.
‘Jun, how long will I be watching you? I don’t want to see you anymore.’
‘It’s the same for me too, just wait.’
It wasn’t a very nice sight to see a grown man whining about not wanting to be hated by his daughter.
Jun quickly opened his mouth to divert Robin’s attention.
“How can I teach Hennie? “I naturally flower my magic core, so I don’t know anything about artificial flowering.”
“Until Henny has a magic core, all you have to do is radiate magic power from the magic circle I have prepared. “You can start teaching after that.”
“Magic circle? What function does this magic circle have?”
“It has a function to prevent magical power from returning to mana and a function to condense it in one place to prevent it from spreading. It is said that wealthy families use this magic circle to awaken the magic core in their children.”
“Oh! “I didn’t blindly listen to your stubbornness without any preparation.”
If the function of the magic circle mentioned by Robin is true, even people who do not have an affinity for magic power will be able to develop their affinity for magic power to a certain extent by spending time on it.
The increase in affinity for magic was consistent with the saying that the possibility of flowering of the magic core increased.
In Jun’s opinion, the magic circle was probably harder to obtain than an ordinary exercise.
Jun couldn’t even think about that and became a little anxious.
“You obtained that legally, right?”
“… I found out by chance when I was working as a training instructor at a guild.”
“So is it legal? Is it illegal? Please look straight at me and talk without turning your head to the side.”
Robin subtly turns his head.
Jun quickly flew away and got into his field of vision.
After repeating the same action several times, Robin finally sighed deeply and said.
“It’s illegal. This is top-tier information for the guild, so please do not disclose it to the outside world. If you get caught by the guild…”
“It means you’re going to end up in a bad situation. All right. Instead,”
“I’ll teach you a technique that corresponds to the same top-level information. How do you feel?”
“Hi-Hi. The transaction is concluded.”
Jun nodded with satisfaction.
If you could learn a first-class skill in exchange for keeping a secret, it was a lucrative business.
I could have reported this secret to the guild in Remumuni and received a reward.
However, it was doubtful whether proper compensation would be given to an orphan, and I had no intention of reporting a close friend.
If you do that, you’ll end up losing the training instructor you accidentally acquired with your own hands, and you’ll also lose all the contacts you’ve built over the past 10 years.
No matter how you think about it, reporting was a losing business in many ways.
So, I felt comfortable just making a moderate profit and moving on like now.
“Then when will my training begin? “I don’t think it will be possible today because Hennie is asleep, so shall we be fair and start tomorrow?”
“No, let’s do it now.”
After saying that, Robin went inside the barn and came out with a practice sword, a spear, and a bow, and handed them to Jun.
Then he started walking to the back of his cabin, telling people to follow him.
“Oh!”
“It’s pretty good.”
Jun and Fortuna followed him to the back of the cabin and exclaimed in exclamation when they saw the training hall located there.
The training hall in the mountain was a little small, but it looked much neater and in better condition than the vigilante training hall in the village.
There were faint footprints left in the center, as if it had been in use just recently.
“I don’t think you need to worry about your skills.”
Fortuna nods her head in satisfaction while looking at the footprints.
If she becomes as skilled as she is, will she be able to figure out the other person’s skills just by her footsteps?
Although it was questionable, it was true that it was good news, so Jun nodded, saying yes.
“Please hang your weapons on the stand.”
“Are you not using it now?”
“For now. I guess I haven’t been able to use my Aurors properly yet. Let’s focus on getting used to the Aurors first.”
“Yes.”
Jun followed Robin’s instructions and placed the weapons on the stand.
As I was doing that, my heart started pounding as I thought that the real training would now begin.
After putting away all his weapons, he quickly ran in front of Robin, who was standing in the middle of the training ground.
Robin nodded with satisfaction, like an instructor who was pleased by the trainee’s prompt behavior.
Why? It feels like I’ve re-enlisted in Shinkyodae.
My heart, which had been pounding just a moment ago, calmed down in an instant.
Jun, feeling anxious for some reason, stood at attention like a trainee who had just entered Shinkyodae.
It was a very good choice.
“Well, I guess we can just skip the mental education. “If you were stuck in needless pride or arrogance, I thought I would correct you.”
“Uh, in what way?”
“I have learned that there is nothing better for mental education than repetitive ritual training and a stick.”
Robin answered Jun’s question with an unusually deep smile.
Before he knew it, he was holding a thick club in his hand that he didn’t know where it came from.
Although he hasn’t even started training yet, Jun is already starting to regret his decision.
‘I guess I’m the type of person whose personality changes when I’m passionate about something.’
‘I know. But… What are you doing now?’
‘You wouldn’t know it if you saw it? ‘I’m changing my clothes.’
Fortuna jokingly answered Jun’s absurd question and transformed the veil on his head into a bright red hat that only a guerrilla trainer would wear.
For reference, Fortuna’s clothes are sacred clothes, essential equipment for angels, and they can be restored, or their design modified as long as you have holy power.
“Hmm, good!”
Fortuna then completed her guerrilla training look by putting on her sunglasses and nodded her head in satisfaction with her appearance.
She then spread her wings and flew up, crossing her arms next to Robin and holding her weight.
Robin said, looking at her closely.
“Hmm, it looks like it has some weight. “The black glasses on your eyes are especially nice.”
“Shall I make you one?”
“Can you do that?”
“Here, take it. “If you get too close to me, it will disappear, so be careful.”
Fortuna gathered her holy power to create her own sunglasses and gave them to Robin.
Robin put on the sunglasses she gave him and nodded with great satisfaction, just like she did earlier.
When Fortuna said it looked great on her and even made her a black cap as a bonus, the corners of Robin’s mouth went up to her cheekbones.
On the contrary, the corners of Jun’s mouth gradually lowered, and he looked like he was crying.
As Fortuna said, her guerrilla instructor looks really suits him, and even though she is just looking at him, her PTSD is gone, and she is raising her head.
‘Why did you tell me the story of your past life?’
When Jun wasn’t that close to her yet, she resented herself for telling her stories about her past life in order to gain her favor.
However, it was a regret too late.
“I will decide on a name for smooth training. From now on, please refer to me as instructor. “Jun, I will call you a commanding officer.”
“Then call me assistant!”
“It’s okay. “I grant permission.”
“Oh yeah!”
Fortuna is very excited.
June looked at her with her weary eyes, her sadism and pleasure felt through the strings of her soul.
However, he did not protest or raise objections.
Considering the tension between the two, it was obvious that she would get a backlash for being arrogant.
Rather than taking care of his pride, he wanted to get training quickly.
“Trainee, to what extent have you activated the Auror core?”
“I’ve only lightly operated it to check.”
“Then let’s start operating to the limit now. “Because you can determine the intensity of training by knowing your limits.”
“Yep!”
Jun answered loudly, closed his eyes, and focused his entire attention on the Auror Core located in the Danjeon.
Hum~
The core vibrates pleasantly.
Controls were not difficult. It’s the core that I’ve dealt with day after day.
However, the movement of mana running throughout her body without being released from her body or staying still was very unfamiliar.
It wasn’t that she was in a disgusted mood. Rather…
‘I think I’m going to get addicted.’
I felt like every single cell in my body was activated and strengthened.
My senses were sharper than ever, and my entire body was filled with uncontrollable strength.
“Phew~.”
He wanted to test this power right away, but Jun sighed and controlled his impulse.
His high and full mental power made it possible.
“Have I managed to control my sense of omnipotence? That’s amazing. “I’ve grown really well, not only because I don’t have any pride or arrogance, but also in this case.”
“Then! “Who raised you?”
Fortuna proudly puffs out her chest as Robin truly admires her.
In fact, it wasn’t thanks to her, but to her leaps and qualities, but Jun didn’t bother to say that out loud.
But what’s the fuss about this being such a big deal?
When June asked why, Robin shook her head and answered.
“The sense of omnipotence felt when the Auror Core is first activated is particularly strong, so if something is done wrong, the owner’s temperament is likely to become tainted. So, it is a long-standing custom to have a teacher or a skilled person waiting next to you when it is first operated and then immediately extinguish that sense of omnipotence.”
‘Now that I think about it.’
When Leon had just developed his Auror core, Leonard almost forcefully sparred with him to test the performance of the core.
Leon, who had refused at first, attacked him with enthusiasm as soon as the sparring began, but of course he could not do anything and ate honey chestnuts from Leonard until he was about to cry.
At the time, I thought it was just to tease me, but it seems like that’s the way it should be.
‘But wasn’t Leonard directly involved when Hennie awakened the Auror core? Why does Robin tell him..? Ah.’
She wouldn’t have been able to hit her daughter directly. She probably didn’t want to be hated.
Jun nodded her head in understanding and then said.
“Okay. Then, can you please take that stick away? I have automatically extinguished my sense of omnipotence, so there is no need to use a stick. “It’s so bloody I can’t even breathe, so hurry.”
At Jun’s words, Robin regained her appetite and put the club in her hand down on the ground.
“Phew~.”
Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, it was too early.
“Okay then, trainee. Come at me.”
“… Did I do something wrong?”
Why are you trying to hit me like this from now on?
