The Reincarnated Assassin Is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 1291 Raon finished all the exhaustion training of the Light Wind Palace and came down North Grave Mountain to enter the head of house's great training ground again. "Gasp!" "Urgh..." The swordsmen who had remained at the great training ground watching the Light Wind Palace's training stopped breathing and trembled all over as if they had encountered a ghost the moment they saw him. Thud. Raon trampled through the silence of the great training ground that had become quiet like a library and stepped up onto the platform. "Did you watch well?" He raised his finger and pointed at the images floating in the air. "Ah..." "Th-that..." The swordsmen couldn't answer immediately and only swallowed dry saliva. It couldn't be helped, since what the more than ten images showed were all Light Wind Palace swordsmen unconscious with tears streaming from their eyes and foam coming from their mouths, so such a reaction wasn't strange. Moreover, since Burren and Martha who fell last, and even the Transcendent Runaan, had all collapsed in the same pose as if dead, fear was even reflected in the swordsmen's eyes. "No answer, I see." Raon slightly frowned, showing signs of displeasure. "N-no!" "We watched well!" "It was perfect training!" The swordsmen recalled Krein's battered face when he was first beaten by Raon and screamed at the top of their lungs. -Crazy bastard... Wrath twisted his jaw as if dumbfounded. -After seeing such a spectacle, what fool would dare say no! He pointed at Krein who had collapsed with his tongue hanging out and eyes rolled back, furrowing his brow. 'It's training.' Raon calmly shook his head. 'And it's special training that I personally experienced the effects of.' He had been able to raise the grade of Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation and Glacier to reach a higher realm thanks to the exhaustion training he was currently conducting. If he could let the swordsmen experience that same thing, it would be a great help to their growth. -No... Wrath let out a heavy sigh and struck his forehead with his hand. -That's only possible because it's you! He waved both arms vigorously as if frustrated. -How many humans in this world can pour out their stamina and mental strength to the point of fainting! Wrath ground his teeth, telling him to please think. 'There are almost none. You could count them on one hand, right?' -Then... 'That's exactly why I stepped forward.' Raon drew a cold smile and put strength into his fingertips. 'Since it's difficult for the swordsmen to do it themselves, I helped them.' Knowing this, he said he stepped forward directly and clenched his fist. Craaack. Just by Raon clenching his fist, a terrifying pressure descended upon the head of house's great training ground. "Grk!" "Urgh..." "It's hard to breathe..." The swordsmen bit their lips as if even enduring the pressure Raon lightly created wasn't easy. -They don't look like they want help though...? Wrath looked alternately at the already unconscious Light Wind Palace swordsmen and the swordsmen whose faces had turned yellow as if standing before an execution block, wrinkling his nose. 'Adults have to do things they don't want to do.' Raon said it couldn't be helped and pushed Wrath away. "As the Light Wind Palace swordsmen showed, you just need to pour out all your swordsmanship, stamina, and mental strength. It's not that difficult." He told the swordsmen in the great training ground to follow what the Light Wind Palace had done and calmly nodded his head. "Exactly like that...?" "I-I don't want to..." "I'd rather fight a war right now..." The swordsmen scanned the unconscious forms of the Light Wind Palace swordsmen who still hadn't woken up and sniffled. "Then..." Raon stroked his chin and lowered his gaze toward the swordsmen. "Gasp!" "Ahhhhh..." "Please..." The swordsmen avoided Raon's eyes and only looked at the ground or sky as if they didn't want to be chosen first. "No." Raon closed his eyes, then opened them and tilted his chin. "Just have everyone go up." Without waiting, he gave the order for all the swordsmen currently in the great training ground to go up North Grave Mountain and raised his finger. "A-all of us?" "All these people..." "No, how..." The swordsmen gaped in disbelief. "Hiding and waiting without knowing when your turn will come also consumes a lot of stamina and mental strength. That alone is not bad cultivation." Raon made a decision in his mind and stamped his foot on the platform. "Everyone go up." He gave the direct order to go up North Grave Mountain and tapped Heavenly Drive's scabbard. "Um, excuse me..." Edgar rolled his eyes and slowly raised his hand. "We also have to go, right? I mean, don't we?" He was about to speak casually as usual but urgently switched to formal speech. "Of course." Raon made eye contact with those who had learned martial arts at the annex building and nodded. "Anyone who has learned martial arts must undergo this cultivation without exception." He said that not only Sylvia, Sia, and Edgar, but also the maids who were learning martial arts must participate, and turned around. "Ugh! That's why you shouldn't have spoken up!" Sylvia struck Edgar's back, asking why he would ask something so obvious. "Is daddy stupid?" Sia also frowned in disbelief and lightly kicked Edgar's shin with her toe. "I-isn't there a daddy lifeline or mommy lifeline!" Edgar grabbed his head with a frown as if he didn't want to participate in the exhaustion training. "Edgar, sir. That's something only used when the Young Master asks for help from you or Sylvia in return." Judiel slowly shook her head as if telling him to come to his senses. "Go quickly! Stop embarrassing our son!" Sylvia kicked Edgar's bottom to push him away as if telling him to stop. "Is daddy really stupid?" Sia also followed Sylvia's lead and pushed Edgar as they went up North Grave Mountain. "Ahhhhh!" "We're doomed..." "We might really die today..." The swordsmen screamed seeing that even Raon's family from the annex building participated in the exhaustion training without complaint. They looked at the Light Wind Palace swordsmen who still hadn't woken up and moved very slowly toward North Grave Mountain as if they had iron chains on their feet. Some seemed to want to curse or struggle inwardly, but since Raon was right in front of them, no one showed such foolish behavior. "Now then..." Raon lightly clapped his hands in the empty great training ground. "I'll ask for your help again." He bowed his head as he asked Roenn, Sheryl, the Blade Queen, the Warlord, and Alice to exhaust the swordsmen. (E/N: Shouldn't Roenn and Sheryl do the training too? Huh?) "Hehehe. Understood." "We'll do it gladly!" Roenn let out a gentle laugh, meaning he would follow whatever Raon said, and Sheryl raised her fist with a deep smile as if it were fun. "I was worried I went too far, but seeing the temporary head of house, it seems I can go even further?" "No, restrain yourself. If you go too far, they'll die." The Blade Queen licked her lips as if she should go stronger, and the Warlord grabbed her shoulder telling her to just do as she had been doing. "Of course! This is perfect for relieving stress!" Alice Zieghart burst into a maniacal laugh as if she was pleased and ran toward the mountain. -The women in this place seem even more insane... Wrath shook his head, saying there were hardly any normal people around Raon. 'Maybe so.' Raon thought of the women who the word "crazy" suited very well and finally went up North Grave Mountain. 'Who should I torment first this time? I mean, who should I give cultivation to.' -Torment! You just said you'd torment them! As expected! Wrath ground his teeth as if he knew it. -You're using this training to relieve personal stress... That's when he let out a sneer and raised his finger. Swoosh! From a tree at the mountain entrance, a female swordsman with blazing red hair and lake-like blue eyes descended. "Please train me." Void Sword Division Leader Serena. Unlike others, she didn't run away, but rather came forward challenging him, saying she wanted to receive cultivation directly from him. Swoooosh However, Serena wasn't the only one who came to find him. Behind her, there were also swordsmen who revealed themselves, saying they wanted to fight instead of hiding. 'See.' Raon felt the fighting spirit and determination blazing in Serena's blue eyes and curled his lips upward. 'This is why I can't stop this kind of cultivation.' He said he must never disappoint the swordsmen who came seeking him because they wanted to become stronger, and raised Heavenly Drive's scabbard. -Don't be ridiculous... Wrath waved his hand roughly as if telling him to stop lying. -The youngsters from the Light Wind Palace also kept challenging you at first, but after getting beaten endlessly, they're all running away now! He ground his teeth as if he knew everything. -It's all because you want to do it! * * * Two nights filled with screams passed, and the exhaustion training finally ended when the third sun was about to rise. The swordsmen who had shown fighting spirit and vigor when first entering the great training ground now sat slumped on the ground with unfocused eyes and drool flowing from their mouths. Having poured out everything for three days, they now seemed to lack even the strength to speak or move. Thud. Raon stood at the edge of the platform with an appearance completely unchanged from when he first entered the head of house's great training ground. "You've worked hard." He slowly looked over the exhausted swordsmen and nodded his head. "I feel proud that you completed the exhaustion training more splendidly than I thought." Raon thanked the swordsmen for finishing the training well and gently curled his lips upward. "Hurrgh..." "Ehhhh..." "N-no..." Most of the swordsmen seemed to lack the strength to speak and answered with groans instead. Even those who could speak stammered like babbling children. "Rest well today." Raon said they should disperse now and clapped his hands loudly. "Ahhh..." "Grrrung!" "I-it's over..." Though exhausted, the swordsmen managed small smiles of joy that the training was finally over and struggled to stand up. "Oh, wait. The next exhaustion training will be in ten days. This isn't training that ends after just once." Raon told the swordsmen they would do this training again in ten days and raised his finger. "Eh..." "A-again?" "Crazy. He's crazy..." The swordsmen looked at Raon with bloodshot eyes as if they had heard something completely unexpected. They had expressions as if they wanted to kill their temporary head of house if they could. "And please stay, you five. You also need to undergo exhaustion training." Raon gestured to Roenn, Sheryl, the Blade Queen, the Warlord, and Alice behind him while curling his lips upward, not even looking at the swordsmen who couldn't hide their killing intent. (E/N: Ooooooh! Perfect!) "U-us too?" "Heh. Heh. Heh?" Sheryl and Roenn stammered as if flustered. "What? R-right now this?" "Huh..." The Blade Queen stepped back as if she didn't want to do it, and the Warlord also panicked and swallowed dry saliva. "I-I have things to do..." Alice's smiling expression froze coldly as she quickly descended below the platform. "There are no exceptions. Go up North Grave Mountain immediately." Raon pointed to North Grave Mountain, saying they should start right away. In the head of house's great training ground where countless people were gathered, he was the only one who wasn't flustered, wasn't angry, and was smiling. -This is why... Wrath screamed that Raon clearly couldn't read people's emotions. -You're a madman! * * * When Raon finished the second exhaustion training and returned to the Lord's Manor, Shadow Agents' Leader Chad burst in as if he would break down the door. "H-Head of House!" Chad, who had also undergone exhaustion training, knelt in the center of the audience chamber with both arms and legs trembling. "If it's not something important, you may rest and speak later." Raon waved his hand, telling him to calm down. "I-it's important. No, it's a matter of life and death!" Chad said it was more important than anything else and roughly unfolded the crumpled documents. "The Archangels who stayed quiet after Derus Robert's death have appeared again!"
