Crossroads of Choice (2)

mercenary (傭兵).

It is a job that is like a collection of antenatal and antenatal care.

While living as a mercenary, Scott traveled numerous battlefields, worked as a spy, and often crossed mountains day and night to survive.

So, I was confident in my stamina.

Although he may not be a great aura swordsman, the years he spent on the mercenary floor proved that he was no ordinary being.

By the way.

After only half a day, Scott already felt his limits.

' Dangerous.'

out of breath

His mouth was dry, and he couldn't suppress the dizziness that came by just replenishing water and sugar along the way.

The 40kg armament got heavier as time went on.

Roman Dmitry seemed to have no limit in his physical strength, so he looked for a winding mountain road at the forefront, and most of his strength was pushed to the edge of a cliff as he marched toward a steep ascent.

"Whoop, whoop."

fall behind.

constantly pondered.

Thinking it would be really comfortable if he collapsed like this, Scott swallowed the disgust.

That was then.

pick.

dump.

A loser occurred right in front of him.

People from the same background as Scott still had some physical strength, but many of the passers-by of the private test were from ordinary people.

For them, there was also a limit to enduring evil.

Eventually, he fell to the floor as he let go of the leash, and Scott watched the scene in front of him with anxious eyes.

I wondered.

How would Roman Dmitry react to this situation, when he said there was no fallout?

"I'll pick it up and go."

"Hunt. You pick up the military."

Okay.

It was an unbelievable sight.

As the seniors expected, one person took the fallen person's military commander, and the other, after taking simple measures, carried the military commander forward and carried the person on his back.

And then the march continued.

Less than a minute had passed since one passed out, and they quickly joined the ranks, showing no problem.

they were crazy

Scott was almost dying to do his part, but the seniors' expressions didn't change even after taking care of the person who had fallen.

What kind of things have you been through?

The seniors, who were obviously ordinary people like him, have been reborn as beings that cannot be said to be 'normal' due to the years they have spent with Roman Dmitry.

endured

messed it up

Looking at the back of the senior walking with the wounded on his back in front of him, he thought that he could not collapse like this.

But as the training progresses.

Scott had to admit that the will alone could not solve all the problems.

* * *

only one day.

has been completely worn out.

Training continued even after the march was over, and when the training was finally over, the recruits sat down.

Everyone was out of breath.

The complexion was pale from the extreme physical training, and some threw their faces to the ground and continued to vomit.

Scott was no exception. He, who had been in crisis several times, lay flat on his back with a face like a mountain cadaver.

It was hell.

At the thought of the first day at Dmitry passing, goosebumps all over my body.

then.

Beside him, a disgruntled voice of a comrade could be heard.

"Fuck, is this training? This is torture, torture! Training is done to improve stamina, but training that continues until you force the fallen people to go will only hurt people's bodies. If this type of training continues, I seriously need to say this is wrong."

some motives.

They nodded.

Physical training is a step-by-step corporation, and extreme training that omits the process gave me embarrassment.

by nonsense.

People like Scott wanted to quit if it wasn't for the spy mission.

"If you think like that, just stop."

Did someone read your thoughts?

The man with a relatively calm complexion spoke bluntly.

Upon closer inspection, unlike other new recruits, he was a former soldier of Dmitry and converted to a private soldier.

The motive for voicing the dissatisfaction was hot.

What?! What did you say now?"

"You said If you're going to whine, stop.

the man's name.

It was Randolph.

Randolph looked at his motive with a grin.

"Why do you think you are conducting this training? Simply to show a physical advantage? Or, as you say, to torture us? asshole-like bastards. This is Dmitry's daily life. Roman Dmitry-sama's enlisted men underwent such hellish training every time, and based on their hardened physical stamina, they achieved the victories that you heard as you headed to Dmitry and your ears sting.

Inside Dmitry.

The soldiers were out of the question.

Looking at the way they trained, Dmitry's soldiers had no choice but to acknowledge the existence of the enlisted.

"You must have heard the rumors too. It is said that many of Dmitry's people were killed by Kronos' attack. Among them was a guy named Henderson who was a close friend of mine. Me and Dmitry's people. I don't want the same thing to happen again. For that, there is only one way we can be strong."

death, including Henderson.

People left lumps on their chests.

Although Roman Dmitry treated the casualties well, the lives of those who remember Henderson had to be changed.

Randolph applied for the enlistment in that sense.

He didn't just wish for the benefits he would receive as an enlisted soldier, he hoped that he would somehow become stronger so that a sacrifice like Henderson would not occur.

so that.

messed it up

When figures like Scott stumbled as if they were about to collapse, Randolph clasped his armament from behind and told him to stay strong.

It was not possible because he had greater physical strength than Scott.

In the first place, I got rid of the option of falling back from my head, so I was able to finish it all the way to the end with a face like I was about to die.

"The seniors didn't abandon us in the training you thought was hell. Carrying the fallen people on their backs and carrying the military commander on their backs. That's how I finished this training. It's no different on the battlefield. The moment we become a member of Dmitry, even on the battlefield where death is rampant, our seniors will do anything to save us. We've become companions of those people, and in order not to become a burden on the battlefield, don't complain about the little bit of physical training. If you are simply hoping for a good benefit, you are mistaken. Dmitry is not the utopia you think it is."

finished talking

As Randolph turned his head and caught his breath, Scott was speechless.

that's.

So were the others.

The words of becoming a friend of those who did not give up on their colleagues until the very end left a great lasting impression on their hearts.

I was feeling it a little bit now.

from Dmitry.

What it means to live as a private soldier of Roman Dmitry.

* * *

Ten days have passed.

There were no losers.

There were those who endured the intense longing for Dmitry to the end, but in the case of the secret spies, they couldn't give up until they confirmed their invincibility.

Finally, it was time to pick the fruit.

Chris, who gathered the new enlisted soldiers in one place, proceeded with the 'Simbeop Training', which is the next process of basic adaptation training.

"First, let me explain the concept of danjeon in a simple way."

swordsmanship presentation.

At that time, the concept of Danjeon spread to people.

But it was necessary to teach the theory accurately, and the enlisted men looked more dazzling than ever.

unarmed.

It is the core of the swordsmanship revolution.

People did not know what a great opportunity it would be to receive Dmitry's teachings in the ever-changing future.

Everyone listened. The method of making a bowl of mana and operating mana through the danjeon gave a fresh shock.

Why the hell didn't I think of such an ingenious way?

When I heard the answer, I could see the road, but when I didn't know the answer, it was an area I couldn't even imagine.

yet.

"The name of the martial arts you will learn from now on is called Sura Simbeop."

Started serious training.

Everyone sat cross-legged.

Although he showed a sign of difficulty due to his uncomfortable posture, he followed Chris' explanation and somehow performed the Sura's method.

The explanation continued.

Sura's Method.

plunged into consciousness.

Chris's voice faded, and Scott tried to feel the mana, as Sura's simbeop explained.

'I don't feel mana.'

The basic condition of Simbeop is sensitivity.

You can take the next step only if you feel mana, but no matter how focused you were, you couldn't accept the energy of mana that Chris described.

In fact, it was a natural result. Scott is not an aura swordsman.

While working as a mercenary, he did everything he could to become an aura swordsman, but it was impossible to create a realm that his talents did not allow in the first place.

So when I was about thirty. Aura was abandoned.

He believed that throwing money and effort into the impossible was not a very wise choice as a mercenary.

finally.

hit the limit

He thought that this Sura mental method, which might be a golden opportunity for others, did not affect him.

1 hours.

2 hours.

3 hours.

focused on the jurisprudence.

Even though I knew it was impossible, I had no other option because it was time to focus on training.

By the way.

At one point, Scott had a strange feeling.

' surely.'

sometimes warm.

sometimes cold.

With the aura that felt like tickling his skin, Scott, who stopped the deep method, opened his eyes and looked at his danjeon.

"My, am I feeling mana right now?!"

It was certain.

This was a miracle.

* * *

My heart raced.

The more he learned Sura's mental technique, the more Scott couldn't get his mind off the great effect.

'Nonsense.'

one lifetime.

lived on the battlefield.

Scott decided that he needed an aura to survive, and went to pay a high price to learn from the famous aura swordsmen in the Kronos Empire.

There was no effect. Even if great people teach you or tell you great techniques.

In a situation where he felt nothing, Scott raised his voice saying this was a scam, but said that the Aura Swordsman is valuable because people can't awaken 'anyone'.

I had nothing to say.

It's a lack of talent.

So I gave up.

He believed that the awakening of the aura was the realm of the impossible, but the touch of mana on his skin plunged him into ecstasy.

'The days of Alexander are over. If people like me can feel mana in just a few hours, I'll call Roman Dmitry the creator of the aura from now on. Sura's Method. If I dedicate this to the Kronos Empire, I will be guaranteed wealth and glory. Even Kronos will recognize that I have fulfilled my role sufficiently.'

achieved the goal

Now it's all about stealing information.

If you tell the magic communicator you have prepared in advance how to practice the Sura psychic method, the lives of your family are safe.

However.

I was worried.

Aside from the fact that Dmitry values people, the power of Sura's mind method, which he taught casually even though he knew the existence of the spy, was shocking.

If it were enough to create such a great technology.

Perhaps the era of Dmitry, not the Kronos Empire, will open in the future.

Looking back historically, there has always been a cataclysm in which the system of power is reversed, and perhaps he is now at the center of it.

stood at a crossroads

At one glance, he knew that his own life and the lives of his family were at stake.

timely.

training is over.

At the end of the first day of cardio training, Chris spoke about the future as the training manager.

"For the time being, we will be training based on the basic method of Sura Sim. If there is someone who is showing rapid growth or making a record. That person will teach you a new martial art that suits your character."

new unarmed.

It was an embarrassing word.

The fact that there was a next step in a situation where the Sura simbeop alone was great enough, he could not readily accept.

one person asked

" It's a new martial art. Does this mean that there is a greater martial art than this?"

Moment.

Chris laughed.

Dmitry's soldiers learned the sura technique, but figures like himself and Kevin were awarded other martial arts.

It was the same for the other soldiers.

At first, Sura's method was sufficient, but after the all-out war against the Kronos Empire, they decided that they needed a new opportunity to move on to the 'next stage'.

said Chris.

"The premise of your question is wrong. Sura Simbeop is not a great martial art in the first place. Dmitry has already established a system of martial arts, and among them, the Sura mental method is only the basic martial arts for teaching 'beginners'."

at that word.

People were astonished.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, this was a statement that was completely unacceptable.

The war is over.

Roman Dmitry introduced the system of magic.

If the concept of danjeon was publicly disclosed to everyone, Dmitry decided that he needed preferential treatment compared to him.

Chris was right.

Sura's method.

It was only a very basic low-level martial art to the extent that it was included in the 'public target' in its previous life.

The scale tilted sharply to one side.

As the spies agonizing between Dmitry and Kronos, a great ripple began to arise in their minds.
