The Immortal Genius Spearman (118)
“Commander.”

Kiaren quickly read the letter Edman handed him.

It seemed as though the Empire had been quiet for a while, but recently strange movements have been detected within their ranks again.

Kiaren, who was reading the letter from the palace, soon frowned.

“No, there are six legions in the kingdom, so why are you sending me this letter?”

“I think it’s because we had the experience of fighting the Empire most recently. And we have troops stationed in the North… … .”

“No, I understand. I understand, but if you work hard, you should reward them. What are you going to do if you keep making them do it?”

“… … After this is over, won’t there be some kind of compensation from the palace?”

“I’ve been fooled dozens of times before, and you want me to fool you again?”

“… … .”

Edmund remained silent at Kiaren’s words.

Certainly, it was because I had a strong feeling that the 6th Corps had been being overworked in the palace recently.

As Kiaren said, they only said there would be compensation in words every time, but there has been no response yet.

Then Kiaren clicked his tongue and stood up from his seat.

Edman asked.

“Where are you going?”

“I should go into the palace and meet with Lord Mateus to settle things.”

If things continue like this, all of our innocent subordinates will end up dying on the battlefield.

I think I need to meet Mateus and talk to him about something to end this.

Edman nodded at that.

“Shall we get ready right away?”

“We’d better hurry. We can’t let this happen again.”

“yes.”

“And how are the reinforcements for the Kion unit going?

“I heard that the testing is almost finished. I heard that they are going to create some kind of special unit at the end… … I will find out more details and let you know in a few days.”

“Special Forces? What are you going to do?”

“I don’t know.”

A smile spread across Kiaren’s lips, who had been frowning at Edman’s words.

When I think of those guys, I feel like something fun is going to happen?

It felt like the irritation that had been building up for a moment was slightly subsiding.

Kiaren said to Edman.

“I think it would be good to stop by once it’s over. But before that… … .”

Once again, Kiaren’s eyes became cold.

“I guess I have to start by solving this problem.”

Kiaren began to walk faster.

Jurgen Tenmiller.

Among the applicants for this special unit test, Damian was the one that caught my eye the most.

But when the 3rd group of applicants came forward.

“Hey, hey! Isn’t that guy Sren?”

“Sren? Sren came to support the Kion unit?”

At the roaring sound, Kyle and the other members of the Kion unit who were helping with the process turned their attention.

A place where people’s attention is focused.

There stood a middle-aged man holding a bow.

“That person seems to be a Sren Gaian.”

“Sren Gaian?”

“Yes, he seems to be an archer with quite a reputation in the 6th Corps Support Unit.”

“Oh, really?”

Damien looked at Diana’s explanation.

He now looked to be about forty years old, and his tightly closed lips seemed to show considerable stubbornness.

‘What… is this so-called craftsman or something?’

Just take a look and you’ll know what kind of skills I have.

Damian turned his gaze to see Jurgen, who was in the same group as him.

The boy paid no attention to his surroundings, and just flicked the bowstring with a cautious expression.

Then, just like Paul had done before, he quickly began to adjust the protest to suit himself.

And then.

Flutter!

Kyle waved the flag he was holding loudly and shouted.

“Applicants from Group 3, please take your seats!”

At Kyle’s thunderous voice, they stood in their seats, trying to suppress their nervous expressions.

Kyle shouted as he looked at them.

“firing!”

Jajajajajajajak!

As soon as he shouted, an arrow flew out.

“… … Hmm.”

Sren, who had shot the arrow, frowned.

I fired the arrow at the signal, but unfortunately the wind was blowing strongly between the hills.

puck!

But even so, thanks to the calculations, the arrow did hit the target.

“Tch!”

Sren clicked his tongue as he looked at the arrow that was way off center. But at that moment.

Suaaaah!

A late-flying arrow flew across the hill toward the target. And then… … .

bang!

The arrow hit the target with a loud thud.

“… … Oh!”

“It hit the middle!”

As the announcer near the target waved the flag to signal that the target had hit the center, all the applicants erupted in exclamations.

Even Sren, who was famous in the support unit, was hit off-center, but some guy I don’t know hit the center.

But then.

“Mr. Host, isn’t this unreasonable?!”

Sren strode towards Kyle and shouted loudly.

Kyle tilted his head at him.

Then Sren spoke to Kyle questioningly.

“You have to shoot your arrows right after the guide’s signal, but he shot his arrows later than us. He checked how our arrows moved in the wind before shooting them!”

At those words, the people nearby started to murmur.

Because I thought Sren’s opinion was valid.

“Oh, now that you mention it, that’s true.”

“No, isn’t it against the rules to shoot an arrow after seeing it shot by someone else?”

“That’s right, you broke the rules!”

In an instant, other applicants began to murmur.

In fact, there were some differences in the previous groups as well.

As the atmosphere suddenly became chaotic, Damian, who was watching the situation, clicked his tongue.

“Wherever you go, there’s always someone like that.”

Of course, the guy’s protest wasn’t completely wrong. It’s just that when there were a lot of people, he should have thought twice before speaking.

Diana asked Damien.

“I will go and take care of it.”

“No, I’m going.”

Damian walked into the noisy testing room.

And then Damien appears.

“Glory to the kingdom!”

“Glory to the kingdom!”

The unit members in charge of the event saluted Damien as if they were paying tribute.

Damien nodded and stood in their center.

And he looked at the applicants around him and said.

“This is Damian from the Kaion Unit. Why is there such a commotion when the test isn’t over yet?”

The applicants’ eyes shook greatly at the name Damien.

It is a well-known fact that the name of the commander of the Kaion unit is Damian.

But it was because the young man who showed up was much younger than I expected.

Sren said, looking at Damien.

“That is… … .”

“Sren Gaian. I know your reputation well. Then let me ask you one thing.”

Damian cut Sren off and asked him a question.

“In the first test, the host gives the firing signal. How soon should the arrow be fired?”

“Shouldn’t that be shot right away?”

Sren answered firmly.

But then, Paul, who was nearby, said.

“You have 10 seconds to shoot.”

“… … ?”

At that voice, Sren and the other applicants turned their heads to look at him.

A man with long bangs who covers the left side of his face.

It was the guy who hit the center of the target in the previous group.

Damien nodded at Paul’s words.

“That’s right, you have to shoot within 10 seconds. But how many seconds did it take the author after the launch signal?”

“It took about 7 or 8 seconds.”

Paul knew exactly what it was because he had been watching him closely.

Then Damian nodded.

“I saw it to that extent too.”

Then Damian saw Sren and the applicants around him venting their grievances.

“Is there a problem?”

“That, that is… … .”

“But even so, isn’t it cowardly to shoot other people’s arrows?”

“What evidence do you have that you saw it?”

“… … .”

For a moment, Sren’s brow furrowed slightly.

I know without even hearing the answer.

There was no evidence. He just missed the target with his arrow, but some nameless guy hit the center, so he must have been suspicious.

Damian said.

“It is impossible to see an arrow shot by someone else in that 10 seconds, aim the bow again, and shoot it… … Even if it were possible, that would also be that person’s ability.”

Those around Damien flinched at the sight of his gaze.

Damian said firmly while looking at them.

“So, no more disturbances will be tolerated. Everyone, please remain quiet and allow us to proceed with the test.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“All right.”

All of the Kion unit members responded to Damian’s words.

The bustling atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

Gulp.

The applicants who had been making a fuss began to swallow dry saliva and look around.

I was worried that maybe my score would be deducted because of this incident. And.

“… … .”

Crack.

Sren simply clenched his fists as his opinions were ignored.

* * *

5 to 1.

With 150 people gathered for the test of a special unit with 30 members in the garden, the competition was bound to be fierce.

And after the first test was over, the mood among the applicants changed a little.

The reason was simple.

Because everyone knew their grades.

Those who didn’t get good scores will be sharpening their knives to get good scores in the second test.

“The guys who got good scores in the first test will try hard to protect themselves.”

“It’s crazy when you do it, but it’s fun to watch. Hehehehehe!”

Diana and Kyle, who were standing next to Damien, each spoke up.

Damian said.

“Is it a physical test this time?”

“yes.”

“Among those who failed the first round, just send those who failed the physical test straight away. The results will be the same even if they take the third test anyway.”

“Okay, more than half of you will leave after this physical test is over.”

“Hehehe, I think it’s more than that.”

In the first test, almost half of the children missed the target, and half of them missed the circle inside the target.

Of course, I admit that it was not an easy challenge due to the wind blowing between the hills.

but.

“Even on the battlefield, things aren’t always good.”

Those who took the test might say they were ‘unlucky,’ but the conditions were the same for everyone.

How one displays resourcefulness in such a situation can also be said to be a testament to one’s ability.

Swish.

I looked at the pocket watch that Damien had.

Fifty minutes had passed since the applicants started climbing the mountain carrying their military gear.

From around this point on, the fast guys start to show up… … .

“They’re coming.”

Four men running in front with distorted expressions.

The sight of those guys running towards me, tottering around, made me feel like I could suffocate at any moment.

“You just have to come in within an hour.”

But there is a strong will to definitely get first place. And among them.

“… … I didn’t know that guy was involved.”

“I was surprised, too. I thought you had good stamina, but… … I never thought you’d make it to the 50-minute mark.”

Diana and Kyle looked surprised at Paul’s appearance.

Damien chuckled at that.

“I told you to win. That way you can be the captain.”

“Are you the captain?”

“Are you willing to give Paul the position of Archer Captain?”

Kyle asked with a surprised look.

Because I knew that Damien wasn’t the kind of person who would give a pat on the back for connections.

Damian shook his head at Kyle’s question.

“You have to be qualified. That’s why I just told you to show your qualifications.”

“… … It seems that the captain’s presence is special to that guy too.”

Diana muttered softly.

Didn’t he, too, endure with all his might after hearing Damien’s words?

Diana looked at Paul with a stern expression, feeling a sense of kinship with him.

Paul is the one who got the best score in the first test.

If you get first place in the second test.

‘There is a high possibility that he will become the commander of the archers.’

Diana wished him success.

And when the applicants who had been running in the lead had almost reached the destination.

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Paul screamed loudly, using all his strength. And… … .

“passing!”

Crazy physical test.

Damien smiled, the corners of his lips twitching as he watched Paul, who came in first.
