Elijah's heart pounded without her realizing it.
Axion's solid arm was still holding her waist tightly.
After a while, he put her in a safe place and relaxed his arm.
Keisha, who was walking in front, turned and looked at them.
“What's wrong?”
Elia answered quickly.
"nothing!"
When she turned her head, she found that Axion had returned to his place with ghostly speed.
It was as fast as teleportation.
Keisha, without feeling anything unusual, resumed walking.
'This person wouldn't even know if someone fell and died.'
No, even if he fell and died, he wouldn't show even the slightest interest.
By the way, why did Axion suddenly save her?
Didn't he consider her a thorn in his eye to that extent?
While walking, Elijah took another glance back to where he was.
With a handsome face drenched in sweat, he walked silently as if nothing had happened.
The feeling of him just saving her was so unreal.
'No way, isn't it because of that crazy competitive spirit?'
Axion had a competitive, almost obsessive spirit about her.
If so, he would certainly have cheered when he captured the moment she stumbled and swayed.
The reason he saved her was definitely an expression of his feeling of superiority, to show that he knew how to function perfectly unlike her.
'Sure, that's why.'
She thought like this, shook her head lightly, and then went forward.

“We have arrived!”
After a whole day, they arrived at the training site located in the middle of Mount Kenny.
Dark circles ran deep under the unit's eyes, and stomach rumblings were constantly heard.
Of course, Keisha didn't let them sleep or eat while on the walk.
'Crazy human being... (inaudible expletives)'
While Elijah was secretly cursing, Keisha ordered.
“Theo will distribute the meals shortly, and after eating you will sleep in those barracks.
Starting tomorrow, serious combat training will begin.
Over.”
After he finished speaking, Keisha disappeared towards the barracks.
Theo soon appeared and distributed meals.
It was crusty bread and canned soup.
When I opened the box, I found that its contents were fairly plentiful.
Lennox seemed to have brought supplies fairly well.
I ate food greedily -
She ate the soup greedily, exhausted by hunger.
In a flash, the bottom of the can was visible.
Even after she emptied every last drop and ate it, she still felt so disappointed, she just pursed her lips.
Yusar approached and said in a joking tone.
“The sounds of the lips will deafen my ears.
If you are hungry, eat this.”
It was dried meat and soft bread.
Her eyes widened.
“Where did you get this?”
“I brought it with me.
Didn’t I tell you what if I took all the salted meat and leftover bread?”
“You brought all that?”
Ilya asked sharply, and Yusar nodded with a smile.
After a week of hunger and suffering, a large quantity of salted meat and bread was still left.
Ilya looked at Yusar's military bag with eyes full of doubt.
His military bag was not much different in size from the others.
How on earth did Yusar bring all of this up?
Her eyes narrowed.
“Yusar, do you happen to have a pocket space bag?”
At her words, Yousar smiled widely.
"Bingo.
Elijah can't really be fooled."
Yusar showed a small cloth bag that was hanging around his waist.
It was an ordinary bag, even shabby, but Elia's eyes widened when she saw it.
Pocket space bag!
That little bag was enchanted, and had ample space in which any items could be placed.
“So, with this you were preparing strange things like healing potions, bombs, etc.”
"Yes.
For this field training, I brought not only food, but also abundant magic soap.
It's perfect for use in such harsh places, right?"
His preparation was really meticulous.
Elijah hurriedly shoved the bread into her mouth.
Yusar looked at her as she did so, and caressed her head playfully.
“Our Elle, how delicious and satisfied you eat~”
“Don't bother me while I'm eating.”
She pushed his hand away.
As more bread entered her stomach, she finally felt like she could live.
“Those kids look hungry too, don't they?
So, maybe it's time we get down to business...”
Yusar's face wrinkled as he watched the unit members surrounding him.
"What is with you?"
“Why is this bastard acting like this?”
Yusar pointed his eyes at her.
Where he indicated, Axion was holding an unopened can of soup and looking in their direction.
“He seems to be looking for another problem.”
Maybe he was secretly making fun of her because she ate so much.
While she answered indifferently, Yusar sneered.
“This bastard Axion, why doesn’t he eat soup?
Is he trying to declare that he can last long enough without eating such things?”
Perhaps because of the dagger incident, his attitude towards Axion was more hostile than before.
Yusar looked away from Axion and changed the subject.
“By the way, what kind of training will start tomorrow?”
“Well, it certainly won't be easy.”
Keisha must have come up with a terrifyingly creative workout.
Then Yusar laughed lightly and said:
“However, wouldn’t it really kill us?”
•
"Ah!
We're all going to die!"
“Men, you are exaggerating!
Shut up!”
Keisha shouted towards the three members of the unit who were streaming with tears and snot.
But the scene before them was one that one could not help but overreact to.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
From the top of the mountain, huge boulders were rolling menacingly towards them.
They were busy dodging rocks, their faces streaked with tears and snot.
Illya and the rest of the unit stood watching them from the side, their mouths wide open.
Immediately after waking up, Keisha led the unit members to this place, a rugged mountain slope.
Above their heads, there was a massive, towering rock cliff.
Before they could even admire the scenery, Keisha began training.
Known as dodging huge boulders rolling down the cliff, in groups of three.
This was a training that could only be conducted in massive terrain like this, not on the grounds of the Grand Duke's Palace.
'This is completely different from training in the palace!'
They had prepared for outdoor field training, but it was beyond imagination.
Even eliminating the Nether Beasts, which was the hardest among them yet, was not that intense.
At the very least, Keisha was casting a suggestion spell on the monsters to prevent fatal injuries.
But this time was different.
The rocks were rolling menacingly, like bowling balls hurtling toward bowling pins.
Human bowling par excellence!
If one of those rocks had accidentally crushed them, they might have died.
“E, El...
I'm afraid...
Should we do this too?”
Lennox, who was watching that scene, clung to her tightly, trembling.
“Crazy, this could really kill.”
Even Yusar, who was cunning as usual, froze.
Get up-
“Ah!”
With a huge bang, a new rock rolled down, and the unit members were unable to dodge it in time, so they were crushed under it.
“Ah...please save me...!”
They let out a groan, and Keisha raised his hand and stopped the training, then examined them.
Their legs were twisted in strange directions!
“Hmm, there's nothing wrong.”
What do you say now?
Keisha placed his hand on the unit members' twisted legs and said in complete indifference:
"This much I can handle on my own without Theo.
Relax your legs and stay still."
Did Keisha play the military doctor in the original novel...?
While she tilted her head in confusion, Keisha forcefully twisted the legs of the unit members, one by one.
Click-
Bang-
"Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!"
“Ghaaaaaah!”
“Khhhhhh!!!”
Screams rang out from all sides, as if something terrible was happening.
The three's bodies quickly relaxed at once, their mouths filling with foam.
The leg of the unit member who fell in the corner returned to its normal position, but the blood dried from the faces of the unit members who were watching, including Elijah.
'Death seems better...'
Of course, Keisha didn't care at all, so he shook off his hands and got up, then looked at the rest of the unit.
“See?
Don’t worry, I will treat you immediately if you get hurt.
So, next group ahead!”
