The Immortal Genius Spearman - Chapter 120



Only Noblemtl

The Immortal Genius Spearman (120)
A special archer unit of the Kaion Force.

After the third test, all the candidates were finally selected.

What’s interesting is that among the selected personnel, not a single one is from the original Kaion unit.

Thanks to this, we were able to avoid the trouble of having to hire additional personnel, but more than anything, we were able to learn that the position of archer was rarer than we thought.

“I think I understand why the archer unit is separated from the support unit.”

When playing Mercury, there was a world of difference between simply firing an arrow at an enemy’s location and hitting it accurately.

“Damian, a man named Sren has requested an interview.”

“Sren? Ah.”

I wondered who it was, but it quickly came to mind.

The guy who protested during the first test.

“Why did you fall?”

“……yes.”

“Ah… … I see.”

I had a feeling I knew what kind of interview this was going to be.

Damian was about to just ignore it, but he nodded at Diana.

Soon, Sren came into Damian’s office.

“… … Thank you for allowing me to interview you. But why was I disqualified?”

“Didn’t you hear the explanation?”

“I did it because I couldn’t understand it.”

Sren looked at Damian with eyes that looked like he was going to attack him at any moment.

His tone was polite, but his eyes were filled with anger, giving off a rather strange feeling.

Sigh.

Then Damien looked at the document containing Sren’s test scores.

“Chin-ups in the first round. One hour in the second round… … 18 minutes. And in the third round… … It’s a mess.”

The third test tested speed, reflexes and agility.

And unfortunately, in the second and third tests, my score was far below that of those who passed.

As Damian looked at the documents, Sren asked.

“Isn’t the most important thing for an archer unit excellent archery?”

“That’s right, but even that archery skill is low-ranking compared to the current successful candidates.”

“that……!”

“Do you think you’re unlucky?”

I’ve seen these guys quite often in the past.

A type of person who does not recognize their own abilities and believes that the circumstances surrounding them should only suit them.

If it were original, I wouldn’t have even bothered to deal with it.

‘I think it would be good to show an example and give a warning to the other guys as well.’

Damien jumped up from his seat.

Sren flinched at that, but Damian looked at him and said.

“Follow me.”

Damien went straight outside and looked at the applicants for the Archer Corps who had passed this time.

And he pointed to the foul that was in between.

“Paul, come forward.”

“……yes.”

Damian looked at Sren as he watched Paul walk forward with a calm expression.

“Did you say archery is the most important thing?”

“… … Yes.”

“Then let’s have a match with this guy. Everyone’s probably tired, so five shots total. If you win by shooting first, I’ll give you an extra pass.”

Instead, when you lose.

“What are you going to bet on? Even the bow you’re holding?”

Damien said, glancing at the bow he was holding.

It was a pretty good looking bow.

“I won’t allow you to take the test using that bow. If you lose after doing that much, then there’s nothing you can say.”

“……great.”

With Sren’s consent, Damian and those around him climbed up the hill again to see the target.

Wheeing!

The day was slowly getting dark.

Damian said to Paul and Sren as the sun was setting in the distance.

“Let’s get started, Foul. You shoot first.”

“yes.”

Paul took out the bow he had received from Damien.

and…….

Kick!

Paul, who had drawn the arrow, drew the protest with a serious expression.

Although it was a fairly windy hill, Paul carefully aimed at the target and shot his arrow.

Fit!

Eeeeeeeeek!

The arrow Paul shot went straight through the wind.

The protests were more intense than usual, increasing their destructive power.

Of course, as the speed increased, it felt like I was cutting through the wind.

bang!

When it hit the target, the entire wooden board shook violently with a dull sound.

Flutter!

Red flag.

It meant that it hit the center.

And Paul continued to shoot four arrows in succession.

The results are all dead center.

Damien raised the corners of his mouth at the sight of Paul hitting the center without missing a single one.

“You’re next. You probably figured out the wind level from the arrow Paul shot just now, right?”

“… … .”

Sren bit her lip and stood up.

As Damien said, we have a rough idea of ​​how far and in what direction the wind is blowing thanks to the guy who shot first just now.

That’s right.

Soon, Sren silently protested.

This was a chance for me to really show off my skills.

‘Do you think you can lose to those kind of kids… …!’

It’s already been 20 years since I last shot an arrow.

He was proud of his own abilities within the legion.

That’s why I applied to the famous Kaion unit.

If you spend your last days here and retire, you will be able to live a luxurious life worthy of your name.

Chomp!

Suaaaaaaah!

The arrow that left Sren’s hand quickly flew out.

Certainly, its speed was different from that of the standard model.

thud!

And the arrow he shot struck the target.

Although it was slightly off center, the arrow hit in a much better location than in the first test.

but.

“Eliminated. It’s over.”

“What, what did you say?!”

In a situation where the match was over with just one kick, Sren shouted at Damian.

“What are you talking about!”

“What are you talking about? Foul’s five shots were all right in the middle. Your first shot was a little to the left. What more do you need to say?”

“Aren’t there four more chances?”

“Even if you put them all in the center, it’s still your defeat in the end. It’s already been decided, so why is your tongue so long?”

“… … .”

At Damian’s words, Sren finally bowed his head.

Even if he shoots all the remaining arrows as he said, the result is already decided.

“… … I will admit. My… … defeat.”

Sren approached Damian and handed him the bow he was holding.

I never expected that the results would be so disastrous.

Damien said as he took up the bow.

“In the original unit, try to be a little more humble. Continue to improve your own shortcomings.”

It could be a useless rant.

But Sren just turned around without saying a word.

Because I knew that saying anything more here would only make me more miserable.

And looking at that thread.

“… … .”

“You too, always keep your thoughts straight.”

Diana said to her men, and to herself.

“Then let’s go back. Diana, submit the list of those who passed by tomorrow.”

“All right.”

The reinforcement test of the Kaion unit took quite a while.

It was coming to an end.

And at the same time.

“Is that the place?”

Imperial Auror Master Galberon Maxkop.

He stood on a hill overlooking the border of the kingdom of Tirkan and looked down.

As if they had already anticipated their movements to some extent, the army of the Kingdom of Tirkan was already lined up across the border.

But Galberon seemed not to care and turned around to watch the sun slowly setting.

When the sun has completely set and night has come.

“The first page of a new history will be written.”

It is impossible for one’s first appearance to be marred.

Eventually the sun set and darkness fell over the land.

“We are ready, General.”

Adjutant Hoikin approached Galberon and spoke.

Galberon nodded to him.

“All forces will enter the Kingdom of Tirkan before the sun rises.”

I will trample and defile all enemies who stand in my way.

“All forces, advance.”

Under Galberon’s command, the imperial army began to advance towards the border of the Kingdom of Tirkan.

* * *

“One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four!”

After the reinforcements were finished, the first day of work for the Kaion Unit began.

As always, the Kaion unit started the morning with a light meal and proceeded with training as if it were a given from the first day.

‘The first priority is to gather the unity of the unit members.’

The sum of tactics is just a matter of getting it right through training.

However, it took quite a while for the number of people who suddenly tripled to become one and stick together.

If not that.

‘I need a definite trigger.’

If you think about it this way, life on the battlefield has really helped build unity among unit members in a very short period of time.

Isn’t that obvious?

Not being able to trust my comrades to watch my back in a place where I could die at any moment was like death.

Damien closed his eyes as he watched his men running around the barracks.

Given the recent resurgence of imperial activity, they had no idea when their mission would be called upon.

No, actually Damien knew.

‘It’s already started.’

The Empire’s plans were still in progress, although it was briefly halted by the activities of the Kion Unit.

As evidence of this, the Baroque Kingdom and the Spanish Kingdom formed a strong alliance and continued diplomacy related to the alliance with surrounding small kingdoms.

Now, the Baroque Kingdom is also preparing for a full-scale war with the Empire.

‘This alone is completely different from the past.’

Originally, the empire had been swallowing up neighboring kingdoms at an incredible pace, starting with the war with the Spanish Kingdom.

That is to say, there was no room for the Baroque Kingdom or the Artian Kingdom to do anything.

The empire, which was already enormous in size, swallowed up all the small kingdoms, including the Spanish Kingdom, and became an unbelievable monster.

And Damien.

‘… … I got eaten by a monster.’

Although the Baroque Kingdom and the Artian Kingdom joined forces to stop the empire later.

‘Even before the alliance was even formed, half of the territory of the Baroque Kingdom… … was blown away.’

The story after that is unknown.

After forming an alliance with the Kingdom of Artian, the Empire’s advances were either halted or defeated.

Because Damien was already dead.

But now it’s different.

Although the Spanish Kingdom was on the verge of destruction, it was being restored at a rapid pace.

‘At that time… … they said that kid was a prince.’

Anyway, as long as the royal family remains, their history will continue.

And the surrounding small kingdoms are still holding on and have not collapsed yet.

Just this situation alone could be said to be much better than in the past.

“But there is not enough time.”

A situation that is progressing faster than before.

‘The future has already changed because of me.’

Fortunately, the big picture seemed to be maintained, but weren’t the smaller events within it already changing?

But even in that situation, Damien did the best he could.

and…….

“Now I must make this power completely mine.”

The Delft Magic Training Method has reached 5 stars, and many changes have occurred for Damian.

This is because the power that had been limited to magical power until now was gradually trying to advance beyond that.

in other words.

‘The clue to the aura is beginning to emerge.’

However, in order to clarify the direction of this power, the advice of a more outstanding Aura Master was needed.

“Maybe we can meet now.”

At best, he may be a superior, but his position is different if he is the commander of the Kion unit that won against the Rose Knights.

After organizing his thoughts, Damian went to see Leonhark.

“Instructor Leonhark.”

“What’s going on?”

“I have a favor to ask.”

At Damian’s subsequent words, Leonhark looked at him with a surprised expression.
