The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1290 "D-die? What do you mean?" A swordsman from the Divine Wind Squad blinked as he supported Krein. "Is there really going to be a war or something?" A Void Sword division swordsman swallowed dry saliva as if recalling the war with Eden. "N-no, it's not that..." Krein stood up on trembling legs and shook his head firmly. "We're all just going to die!" He gasped roughly as if there was no need to explain. "What on earth does that mean?" A Vanguard Sword Squad swordsman also looked at Dorian next to Krein, not understanding. "Uuuuhhh..." However, Dorian's condition was worse than Krein's. "F-focus enhancement training! It's all over!" Just from seeing Raon's eyes, he clutched his head and let out a scream as if going mad. "Ah..." Burren clutched his forehead as he heard Dorian's words. "I thought something felt ominous..." He too bit his lips hard as he recalled what was about to happen. "Focus enhancement training..." Martha swallowed hard and clenched her fists. "I really need to be prepared to die, huh?" Rather, she curled her lips as if pleased. "......" Even upon hearing the words focus enhancement training, Runaan didn't open her eyes. However, a single drop of cold sweat dripped from her forehead. "If Dorian says it like that, it must be certain..." "No one understands the Palace Master's intentions as well as that guy." "To do focus enhancement training for the entire house, our Palace Master has really gone crazy..." "You can't reach that position at that age without being crazy." "Haah, I should just think of myself as dead..." "It's not thinking of yourself as dead, you are dead." The Light Wind Palace swordsmen also sighed or shook their heads as if anticipating what was to come. "Why are they acting like that?" "I-I don't know." "Let's just ignore them. They're always a bit weird anyway." "Since the Temporary head of house is the Light Wind Palace Master, they probably just want to act like they're close." The swordsmen gathered at the great training ground ignored the Light Wind Palace martial artists overreacting to Raon and looked straight ahead. No, they could no longer look to the side or engage in idle chatter. Step. Because at the quiet sound of Raon's footsteps, the noise disappeared, and their gazes naturally went to him. Step. Just as Glenn had done, Raon focused the gazes and souls of the swordsmen with his footsteps alone as he ascended the platform. Tall with a sleek yet robust build. He looked at the eyes of the swordsmen gathered at the great training ground with eyes that looked down upon all things under heaven. "Ugh!" "Uuh..." "B-breath..." Even though Raon didn't emit any particularly intense energy, the swordsmen didn't dare meet his eyes and gasped for breath, fixing their gazes only on the edge of the platform. "I am Raon Zieghart of Light Wind Palace, temporarily holding the position of head of house." Raon lowered his chin calmly, not like a temporary head of house, but as if he had already sat upon the throne of the head of house. "Thank you for gathering like this." With his hands behind his back, he lightly closed and opened his eyes, revealing a calm composure. "Have my eyes gone bad?" Gambling Monster Harian covered his mouth so his voice wouldn't be heard and let out a hollow laugh. "That young colt really looks like a head of house." He trembled as he felt from Raon a dignity equal to Glenn's. "You may be old enough for your eyes to go bad, but not right now." Alice waved her hand with a soft smile. "Because even I feel like Raon is like father right now." She too curled her lips, saying that Raon looked as imposing as Glenn. "Ahh..." Evelyn clasped her hands together as if in prayer. "Raon! Raon! Raon! Raon!" She stared only at Raon with entranced eyes as if receiving a deity, drool flowing from her mouth. "Th-this is getting a bit scary, isn't it?" Edgar slightly averted his eyes as he saw the drool dripping from Evelyn's mouth. "Don't mind that girl. Just watch Raon!" Sylvia struck Edgar's back, telling him to snap out of it. "Wow! My younger brother is so cool!" Sia looked only at the platform with sparkling eyes as if she wouldn't miss a single moment of Raon. Since all members of Zieghart were assembled, the family of the annex building also smiled brightly as they looked at Raon, who had become the temporary head of house. "The reason I summoned you all is simple." Raon overwhelmed the gazes of the countless swordsmen of Zieghart alone and raised his finger. "Growth. I intend to train all swordsmen of Zieghart so that they can display martial prowess that overwhelms the enemy in the coming war." He stepped with a heavy footfall as he said he would help all Zieghart swordsmen grow. The body and aura that surpassed transcendence exploded from his toes, causing enormous tremors to rise from the head of house's great training ground. No, from all of Zieghart. "Uooohhhhh!" "The Transcendent himself will train us!" (E/N: Wasn't it not too long ago Glenn trained many people) "Long live the Temporary head of house!" "Long live the Sword Emperor!" "I'm looking forward to it. What kind of training will the Transcendent give us?" The swordsmen seemed moved that Raon would personally train them and raised both hands, shouting his name. "It's good, but it'll take some time." "It will. The number of people is no joke. Even if he sees a hundred people per day, we'll have to wait quite a while." "We might not even get it before the war, right?" The swordsmen clicked their tongues briefly as if thinking they might not be able to participate in the training. "...No." Krein shook his head firmly. "That bastard will do it! He'll definitely do it!" He moistened his dry lips, saying that Raon would somehow conduct the training. "R-right." Dorian trembled his lips and lowered his eyes. "Even if he doesn't sleep, he'll do it!" He exhaled heavily, saying that wasn't what they should be worried about now. "Th-then what's important?" The other swordsmen blinked as if not understanding. "What kind of training he'll make us do!" "Wh-what kind of training we'll do is what matters." Krein and Dorian shouted simultaneously that that was the most important issue. "If the word focus comes out of that bastard's mouth, we're all dead." Krein shook his head, saying that during focus enhancement training, being alive isn't really living. "F-focus enhancement training, no matter how many times you do it, you can never get used to it..." Dorian also sniffled, saying he'd rather go straight to war than do focus enhancement training, which he wanted to avoid at all costs. "Ugh!" "Is-is it that bad?" "A training that can make the great Light Wind Palace cry..." The swordsmen trembled their eyes as if only now feeling the severity of the situation. "T-Temporary head of house! Then what kind of training will we receive?" Krein forcibly released himself from the absolute pressure naturally emanating from Raon and threw out a question. "I recently gained enlightenment while training alone. Thanks to that experience, I was able to ascend to a new realm." Raon smacked his lips as he recalled when Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and Glacier ascended to the 11th star. "The training House Zieghart will undergo is exhaustion training." He curled his lips that had sunk coolly as he spoke the name of the new training. "Ooh!" "Did you hear? It's not focus enhancement training!" "Exhaustion training, he says? The name sounds fine!" The swordsmen gathered at the great training ground smiled with relief that it wasn't focus enhancement training. However, unlike their laughter, the expressions of Light Wind Palace froze coldly. "N-no..." Dorian clenched his mouth and trembled his jaw as if even speaking was frightening. "Right. We're not dying..." Krein squeezed his eyes shut as if already seeing their future. "We're completely screwed!" * * * "We'll start with..." Raon slowly lowered his gaze to look at Light Wind Palace standing in the center of the great training ground. "Krein. No, the Light Wind Palace." He called Krein's name, then named Light Wind Palace itself. "Since Light Wind Palace has experience with similar training, it would be good to watch their demonstration first." Raon jutted his chin at the Light Wind Palace swordsmen as if telling them to prepare themselves. "That's right..." "It's an enhanced version of focus enhancement training..." Burren and Martha also deeply bit their molars as if now certain. "Huuu..." Even Runaan could no longer hold back and let out a deep sigh. "My name came up first again! Why does he keep doing this!" "Aaaaaahhh!" Krein clutched his head, saying he didn't understand, and Dorian screamed that he was going crazy. "Grrr, I really hate that..." Even Warring Steel Leader Trevin, who joined Light Wind Palace late, wrinkled his entire face as if he hated focus enhancement training. "Go up." Raon raised his right thumb to point at North Grave Mountain rising behind the great training ground, saying let's start right away. "...Understood." Burren bowed with a pale face as if he had finished mentally preparing himself in that short time, then led the Light Wind Palace swordsmen up North Grave Mountain. "The other divisions will watch from here how the Light Wind Palace swordsmen approach their training." When Raon flicked his finger, an image magic showing the Light Wind Palace swordsmen appeared in the sky above the great training ground. "Then let's begin." He nodded his chin at the people behind him as if to start training right away. "Drain all of those fellows' stamina and mental strength." "We receive your command!" Sheryl, Roenn, Blade Queen, Warlord, Alice, and even Raon. Peerless martial artists who could destroy a kingdom without it being strange simultaneously rushed toward North Grave Mountain. Kuuuuuung! * * * Once Raon left, the swordsmen remaining at the great training ground took comfortable postures and watched the images floating in the air. "Why are the Light Wind Palace guys exaggerating so much?" "Right. How hard can training be?" "Acting like they're going to die. It was ridiculous." The swordsmen remaining at the great training ground sneered, saying the Light Wind Palace swordsmen seemed to be exaggerating Raon's training too much. "It didn't seem like a lie to me?" A swordsman from the Divine Wind Squad tilted his head as he recalled Dorian's distorted face. "No. They're just making a fuss." "Right. They're doing that to act close with Lord Raon. Since he's the person closest to being head of house right now." "I think that's right. Who here hasn't done hard training?" The other swordsmen clicked their tongues, saying the Light Wind Palace swordsmen were doing that to show off their closeness with Raon. "Hmm..." The Divine Wind Squad swordsman, thinking he couldn't get through to them, looked at the first screen without opening his mouth any further. There, Krein, who had made the biggest fuss today, was climbing the mountain with his eyes trembling. [I-I'm dying, really dying. Exhaustion training, what kind of training name is that!] Krein ground his teeth as if he didn't like the name of the training from the start, hiding and moving behind the trees. [Really, that bastard...] As he cursed Raon while biting his lips, the target of his curses appeared before him. [Aaahhh! Why me again!] Krein screamed desperately, begging to be found later. "See! That guy's a coward!" "Such a precious opportunity going to that idiot!" "Pathetic..." The swordsmen snorted, saying Krein's frightened appearance was pathetic. [Of course, we start with Krein. No more talk, come at me. Using all your strength from the very beginning.] Raon ignored Krein's desperate cry and beckoned with his hand. [You damned bastard!] Krein charged with a scream as if forgetting that Raon had become the temporary head of house. He swung his sword with all his might from the start, just as Raon instructed. Kugugugugugugu! Krein hadn't been idle either, so his Sword Aura caused violent waves intense enough to shake the mountain and earth. "Huh?" "He's somewhat, no, very strong, that guy?" "I didn't think he'd be at that level..." The swordsmen remaining at the great training ground blinked their eyes in surprise at the martial prowess Krein displayed. Bwaaaaak! However, Raon frowned as if displeased with such performance from Krein and struck his shoulder with Heavenly Drive's scabbard. [Again.] Raon beckoned with his finger, telling him to come at him with full power again. [Hyaaaaa!] Krein charged again with a ghastly face, but once again he was struck in the forehead until it bled by Raon's scabbard and was sent flying. [Grrrrr...] Krein stood up with a blood-soaked face, gasping for breath. [Again. You're not at full power yet. Release all your anger and resentment.] Raon shook his head, saying it was still insufficient. [What the hell is full power! Just tell me!] Krein, now not caring whether he lived or died, gripped his sword until bleeding and unleashed fierce swordsmanship. [Not bad. But insufficient. Again.] Raon, saying it wasn't enough this time either, struck Krein's waist and drove his body into the hard ground. [Grrruugh...] Krein, even while vomiting blood, stood up again and gripped his sword. Since he knew Raon wouldn't go easy on him anyway, he couldn't stay lying down. [This damned...] [This won't do. I'll make you feel directly what your full power is.] Raon slowly shook his head, then approached Krein and manually manipulated his mana circuit. Of course, it was done safely to avoid leaving aftereffects. Pwaaaaaang! Krein bit his lips as he felt the aura residing in his energy center explode as if it would burst his body. [Y-you crazy bastard! What did you do to me!] Krein screamed a tearing cry and connected the aura exploding from his energy center to his swordsmanship, pouring it toward Raon. [Now this is somewhat acceptable. But still...] Raon lightly deflected Krein's sword and kicked his abdomen. [Again.] He beckoned with his finger again toward the flying Krein. Kugugugugugugu! In this way, Krein could only collapse after pouring out every bit of his stamina, aura, and mental strength without leaving a single drop. "Ahh..." "Gasp!" "Th-this..." The swordsmen remaining at the great training ground felt that Krein's warning and Dorian's tears were absolutely not lies, and cold sweat streamed from their foreheads. [See, you saw it.] Krein bared his blood-stained teeth toward the image showing him. [You're all dead...] He closed his eyes with a grin, showing both relief that it was finally over for him and amusement at what would happen to the others. Huuuuk! As the first screen switched to another person, in the great training ground where countless swordsmen were gathered, only quiet silence, the sound of swallowing dry saliva, and the urgently quickening sound of heartbeats could be heard. Thump!
