The plan to upgrade the Guardian’s shield had been conceived a long time ago.

‘The most efficient upgrade is the guardian’s shield.’

For other secondary armaments, the upgrade method was complicated and the materials were not all gathered.

On the other hand, the guardian’s shield is relatively simple to use, and I gathered all the materials through the last simulation battle of the blade tail and this practice.

“I made a simple blueprint, but if you look here… … .”

Abel showed Temarin the blueprints he had prepared in advance using his spare time and explained.

“If you look at this side, you can see how the basic guardian’s shield works, but it doesn’t affect the basic driving method… … .”

“Reinforcing this with tarterium seems to affect the overall balance, but rather steel with a very small amount of telesium added… … .”

Temarin, who is usually timid, began to pour out his opinions at a rapid pace when he started talking.

So the two stood there and discussed the blueprint for over an hour.

There were many changes along the way, but in the end the design was to Abel’s liking.

“Yeah. As expected, Temarin-sama is a genius.”

Abel muttered involuntarily as he looked at the revised blueprint.

Temarin, who had been talking excitedly with him, suddenly turned red as if he had come to his senses when he heard Abel’s words.

“Yes, yes? no. The original basic design itself was well done… … .”

“no way. Is it much better than the first design? I am already looking forward to the results.”

At Abel’s direct praise, Temarin lowered his head and averted his gaze.

“Then, the work will start as soon as the materials and manpower are ready.”

“Ah yes. I will send the money and materials to the workshop right away.”

“yes! Enough… … .”

“You should bring the blueprints!”

Temarin hurriedly ran after receiving the blueprint from Abel.

Abel looked behind him, then turned his head and looked at Lupus with sparkling eyes.

‘I’m looking forward to it.’

Lupus was currently like a white drawing paper.

In the future, a picture will be drawn on that drawing paper. The picture you dream of.

Abel moved on with such anticipation.

Classes at the academy resumed.

However, it wasn’t like that if the lecture was going on normally.

There were some instructors who were away for a while to investigate, because there was work to be done before proceeding with the normal curriculum.

It was to fill the vacancy of the practice that was stopped in the middle.

The academy has replaced the discontinued practice with a few simple exams.

“Ugh. I’m really going to die.”

“I know… … . The sky turns.”

It was for this reason that the cadets were screaming in pain here and there.

Today’s test was the Gigant operation in extreme conditions.

The environment given to each cadet was slightly different, but in the case of Abel’s group, it was ‘hot’.

It was a test of how long the Gigant could be operated normally in a training ground where the temperature was raised to the limit.

It was not an easy test for Abel either, so his entire body was drenched in sweat.

‘I can’t install something like an air conditioner… … .’

Abel thought blankly as he leaned against the wall.

The Gigant was equipped with a lot of magic for riders, but it didn’t have features like modern air conditioning.

‘Well, it was at a level that even the air conditioner couldn’t survive.’

It was just a complaint anyway.

“Ha, that’s refreshing.”

At that time, Daniel walked over and said.

Daniel’s face, wiping sweat with a towel, looked very refreshed.

His face looked as if he had been in a sauna by himself.

Abel asked with a puzzled expression.

“Aren’t you hot?”

“It was hot when I did it. Still, it seems like your body feels a bit lighter after sweating for the first time in a while.”

“you… … no.”

Abel has given up on understanding Daniel.

In the first place, a normal human would never be able to understand Daniel.

“Ugh, nothing… … .”

At that time, Mei, who had just finished her final exam, stumbled over.

Compared to Daniel, he looked like a corpse.

Abel shook his head and handed her a water bottle.

“ruler.”

“go… … Thank you.”

As soon as May was handed the water bottle, she drank it coolly and lay down next to her.

It seemed that he would never answer even if he spoke to him, so Abel just turned his attention away.

“How can there be no normal people?”

“To others, you don’t look normal either.”

“what?”

Daniel gestured around.

“look.”

Hearing that, he looked around and saw that the cadets who had taken the test earlier were stretched out like dried squid.

Also, that they are looking at themselves like some kind of monster.

Daniel added next to him.

“Did you know that you alone survived twice the average record of everyone else? Did you think you died standing up?”

“I just held on with my mental strength.”

“If it was a problem that could be solved with mental strength, I would have lasted longer than you.”

As he said, Abel’s records were unparalleled compared to others.

It was because he recorded 21 minutes, 3 minutes longer than Daniel, who was right next to him.

The average of the others was 9 minutes at most.

“How the hell did you hold on?”

“mentality… … Tips are just as important.”

“tips?”

“huh.”

Abel explained briefly.

“If you were in a tense battle, you would have outlasted me. But wasn’t this test all you had to do was just stay still?”

“It did.”

“So the important thing is to overcome this environment. endure somehow You don’t think like that.”

Seeing Daniel with a puzzled look on his face after hearing the explanation, Abel continued.

“When you run, let’s hold on a little longer! Just run a little more! Don’t you run while thinking about this?”

“Uh, yes.”

“It is similar to that. Just think that someday this time will pass, or clear your head altogether. It’s not about holding on, it’s about letting it go.”

Daniel nodded as if he understood.

“Hmm. I think I know roughly what that means.”

“okay. So I’m taking a little break now. Don’t touch me.”

After saying that, Abel covered his face with a towel.

I still had my schedule for today, so I had to recover as much as possible.

* * *

After that, the test went on and on.

Fortunately, there weren’t many things that required physical strength like the first exam, but the exam continued all day, so by the end of the exam, everyone was exhausted.

“Are you going to train tonight?”

Except for Daniel, of course.

Abel answered with a look that said, “Are you asking for something obvious?”

“Of course you should. Because it’s hard, you can’t skip it.”

“To me, you both look the same.”

Hena, who was listening to the conversation from the side, said a word.

Abel responded with a sad expression.

“I’m not like him.”

“no. That’s your idea.”

Henna firmly answered Abel’s words. Abel felt unfair, but he couldn’t deny it until the end.

Certainly, I was thinking that it might look a little weird to others.

Most of the cadets probably went back and stretched as soon as they ate.

‘But I can’t help it.’

Of course, Abel wanted to rest just like the other cadets.

But the first time is difficult, the second time is not difficult.

If you start to rest because it’s hard, there is no end.

“So Henna, let’s train together.”

“no. Am I going to rest?”

“no way. Last time I saw it, close combat was still lacking.”

“what? Am I on the decent side?”

“I think you can see for yourself?”

At Abel’s words, Hena blushed and shouted.

“okay! do! sun!”

Abel grinned at her reaction.

It’s obvious, but I didn’t do this just to make fun of Henna.

‘It’s time to put it aside and observe it.’

It’s not long before the incident of henna causing a runaway.

That meant it was time to start showing signs.

It was necessary to observe her runaway in order to pass it without major problems.

This is because the pattern of congestion varies depending on the reaction when the first sign is shown.

‘It would be easier to respond if it was the kind that could be clearly seen.’

While Abel thought that to himself, he cursed at the game he enjoyed.

‘This is just a set scenario.’

It was a thought I often thought of.

When I was enjoying it as a game, it was popular that it was good to run multiple times thanks to the randomness, but it was inconvenient when it became a reality.

But I couldn’t just complain.

‘Who knows what’s going to happen.’

Whatever the case, knowing the knowledge of the future was a formidable strength.

Abel shook off those negative emotions and moved on diligently.

After eating at the restaurant, we all went straight to the training center.

The details of the training are different every day, but the overall framework itself is the same.

First of all, I relaxed my body lightly with physical training, and then I took turns taking turns.

The main opponent was Daniel, but there were times when henna or aiolin was the opponent.

And today’s opponent was Henna.

“Don’t you think there are too many gaps?”

Abel said to Hena while holding the sword.

Henna, who had just allowed Abel a blow, answered while clutching his side.

“Because you’re quick without an answer? And what is that ignorantly large sword?”

“I ordered it separately. I will use a sword like this in the future.”

The wooden sword Abel was holding looked similar to the relic obtained this time or Gigant’s sword.

In other words, it means an ignorantly large wooden sword.

“That’s not a wooden sword, it’s just a weapon in itself.”

Henna frowned and said.

Actually, it was just as it was said.

The horse is a wooden sword, but it is no different from a huge club.

“Seeing that you talk a lot, it looks like you still have time.”

Abel, who had nothing to say, quickly ran forward before Henna could answer.

“Great!”

Seeing this, Henna hurriedly ducked to the side.

Her main weapon is a magic cannon.

However, since he was practicing close combat now, he was using his secondary weapon, the sword.

Whiik!

Henna’s sword flew in, aiming for Abel’s gap.

It was a fierce attack, but Abel casually responded by leaning forward.

Kagak!

Swords collided with each other, and Henna’s hand, unable to overcome the force, bounced upward.

“You shouldn’t try to compete with me.”

Abel lightly kicked her in the shin as he gave her advice.

Wow!

Henna’s mouth fell open.

You forgot to respond to the pain.

Abel pointed his sword at her throat.

“Ha, surrender.”

In the meantime, Hena did not forget the declaration of surrender.

Abel nodded lightly and stepped back, and then Henna slumped to the floor.

“Is your shin okay?”

“I kicked it without mercy and what… … .”

Abel smiled bitterly at Henna’s grumbling.

Even if I said that, I would have been more angry if I had seen it.

‘Because I have a strong desire to compete.’

Just as Abel approached her.

I could see an unfamiliar pattern under the hem of the henna pants that I lifted slightly to check my shin.

“Abel… … ?”

Abel’s face hardened.

swirl pattern.

It was a sign of the runaway that Abel was wary of, and the color was much darker than expected.
