The Immortal Genius Spearman (85)
dripping.
“Come in.”
After becoming the captain, Damian went to see Leonhark.
I saw it at the vice-captain’s inauguration ceremony, but this time there was something to discuss separately.
“Sit down.”
Leonhark welcomed Damian warmly.
The more I looked at it, the more I thought it was truly amazing and amazing.
As Damian sat down, Leonhark asked.
“Why have you come to me?”
“I have come to ask for recommendations for soldiers to be appointed as deputy commanders.”
“It’s a recommendation from the deputy commander.”
Well, the position of deputy captain has been vacant since Damien left.
Besides, since Damien returned and became the deputy commander, someone else will have to be appointed.
But Leonhark asked Damian with a faint smile.
“Haven’t you already sown the seeds?”
“But there may be other excellent candidates.”
Damian trusts Leonhark’s eyes.
Rather than recommending him, I wanted to ask him to appoint a couple as the leader.
But that might be putting a bit too much responsibility on Leonhark, so I said it was just a recommendation.
Leonhark nodded.
“First of all, the most suitable person is Diana. In fact, she has improved the most in the past 7 months, and she is also good at judging situations calmly.”
“Is that so?”
Damien smiled faintly.
If such words came out of Leonhark’s mouth, you could tell how much effort he had put in.
Then, Leonhark began to worry.
Because there were quite a few better guys than I thought.
“I can say that Terkado is the right person for the position of deputy commander… … .”
“Not Jerka, but Terka?”
“No, Jerka. She has a short temper and is somewhat violent. She could put the unit members at risk during operations.”
Leonhark spoke firmly.
Damien let out a small laugh at those words.
‘I agree, Master.’
Damien was able to laugh because he knew Jerka’s temperament well.
and…….
“Hmm… … If I had to pick one more, I could recommend Isaac.”
“… …Isaac?”
Damien tilted his head.
Because it wasn’t a name that left a particularly deep impression.
But Leonhark spoke to Damian with a serious expression.
“If there’s one weakness, it’s that he’s lazy, but other than that, he’s a guy with great potential. It seems like he doesn’t like to stand out, though, so he doesn’t really step forward.”
“Hmm… … I see.”
Isaac.
I’ve never heard of it.
But if Leonhark were to evaluate it that way, then it could really be possible.
‘I guess I need to check it out.’
Damian, having finished his thoughts, bowed his head to Leonhark.
“Thank you for the advice.”
“Haha, it seems like you’ve changed a lot too.”
“… … .”
At those words, Damian stopped and looked at Leonhark.
Did you even realize that I was on the verge of becoming a 5-star?
But Leonhark just spoke to Damian with a small smile on his lips.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
“Ah… … Yes. It’s a very small change, you know.”
“That’s the hardest part. That’s when you have to find the answer yourself.”
Leonhark stood up from his seat and lightly patted Damian on the shoulder.
“The road will open soon, so don’t be too hasty.”
“……yes.”
For a moment, Damien felt like he had returned to his past self.
It was because it seemed like the moment I was learning from Leonhark overlapped with the moment I was now.
And Damian, who came out of Leonhark’s office, headed straight to the barracks where the unit members were.
“Everyone, pay attention!”
The unit members who were doing personal maintenance all turned their attention when Damien appeared.
Damien said, walking slowly towards the long, connected barracks.
“We are going to elect the vacant deputy leader from now on. There will be no voting or recommendations. Anyone who thinks they are suitable for the position of deputy leader, please come forward.”
“Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this moment!”
“I am the right person for the job!”
At Damien’s words, more people than expected began to come forward.
The number of people who volunteered as deputy commanders was almost twenty.
Damien frowned at that sight.
“Are you really confident in everything you do?”
Damien glanced at the guys.
Isaac was not among them.
No, rather, the guy was leaning against his own pedestal, seemingly uninterested in the task of choosing the vice-captain.
Damien quickly turned his gaze to the guys who had volunteered.
I didn’t know there were so many people who showed this much motivation.
“Okay. It doesn’t matter since we’re only picking one anyway.”
Damien lined up the guys in a line and paired them up starting from the front.
“Everyone, come to the training ground. Those who want to become the vice-captain, prove it with your skills.”
The virtue of a commander is not only strength. However, the greatest virtue of a deputy commander should be ‘force’.
Since you are not a bookworm, you need someone who can support you the best.
And then, all the unit members suddenly rushed to the training ground to participate in the sparring.
He said this while looking at the candidates who had come up to the sparring table.
“There are so many people that it seems like it would be difficult to have a formal duel… … We’ll just pick two people for hand wrestling.”
“Hand wrestling?”
“Oh! That sounds fun!”
The eyes of the guys watching sparkled.
The guys who were running for him also secretly raised the corners of their mouths.
Wrestling is a game where the winner is the one who holds the same hand and knocks the opponent down first while keeping the same foot and hand together.
But strength must be the foundation.
‘You can’t win with strength alone.’
You need to have a good sense of balance and good tactics, such as using the enemy’s strength.
‘Of course, it might be possible if you have overwhelming power… … .’
It means that you can get a certain level of skill without hurting each other.
Damien took a step back and looked at the guys with interest.
and.
“start!”
The election of the vice-captains began with Damien’s shout.
“… … Phew.”
Diana let out a small breath and looked ahead.
A picture of a unit member standing with a proud expression.
The guy shouted at Diana.
“I’m sorry, but don’t blame me!”
He was quite a large guy.
Naturally, the guy confidently pulled Diana’s hand, thinking that he was much stronger.
but…….
Stand tall!
“… … ?”
The boy’s eyes shook slightly as he watched Diana, who was holding on without moving.
Instead, Diana spoke to the guy with a calm, composed expression.
“Rather, I’m the one who should be sorry. I finished it too quickly.”
That extreme! That extreme!
The guy’s expression slightly distorted as he clenched his fists.
The guy also tightened his grip as if his wrist bones were breaking.
“Ugh!”
The moment Diana let out a small breath and pulled the guy towards her.
“Ahh!”
The guy screamed and fell to the floor.
A match that ended in an instant.
Diana lifted up the fallen soldier and then looked at the other guys.
Then, one after another, the matches began to be decided.
“Next, let’s go right away.”
At Damien’s words, Diana looked at the unit standing in front of him.
It was Kyle.
“Hehehe, you and I? Let’s celebrate whoever wins.”
Diana nodded at Kyle’s words.
Kyle also clenched his fist slightly and grabbed Diana’s hand.
Kuk.
I knew it the moment I held your hand.
That means Kyle is no ordinary opponent.
Besides, didn’t Kyle go through a lot of training during that time?
“… … Phew.”
Diana let out a small breath and turned her head to look at Damien.
And at the sight of Damien looking at himself.
‘… … wins.’
I closed my eyes and reminded myself of my resolve once again.
How hard have you tried to chase after that guy?
no.
‘To beat that guy.’
It was a 7 month period of extreme hardship.
Diana began to increase her magical power.
It’s still difficult to completely control it though.
“start!”
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
Diana and Kyle both began to pull at the same time, exerting force.
“Whoaaaaaaaap!”
Kyle was definitely a monster.
I bet there was no one in the unit who could beat this guy by brute force.
Whoosh!
Kyle tried to trip Diana by pulling her hand to the side.
Diana, her body half-bent forward with her arms dragged, looked at Kyle, tightening her grip.
Shh.
Kyle smiling, his arms shaking.
The guy seemed confident of his victory.
but…….
“Ugh… … !”
Diana bit her lip and started pulling Kyle’s hand.
As time passed, Kyle’s arm began to be pulled closer to Diana.
“……uh?”
Soon it returned to its original position.
Kyle looked at Diana, unable to hide his bewildered expression.
“I’m sorry, but I’m the one who wins.”
“That’s nonsense!”
When it comes to strength, no one can beat you.
At Diana’s words, Kyle screamed loudly and grabbed the guy’s arm again.
But at that moment.
Whoosh!
“Ugh!?”
Suddenly, Diana’s grip loosened and he was dragged towards the guy.
Kyle, who had been pulling the guy back at that action, stumbled.
And at that moment!
“Whoaaaaap!”
Again, Diana put strength into her hands and pushed Kyle’s arms in the opposite direction, putting strength into her legs.
“Whoaap!”
Diana, who put strength into the feet that were facing each other, twisted her waist and pulled her hand.
At that moment, Kyle’s legs lifted off the ground and flew into the air.
“Eww!”
Kyle screamed as his body was lifted into the air.
Diana, who had thrown Kyle to the ground as if he had been thrown overboard, looked at Kyle, letting out a small breath.
“Are you okay?”
“Ouch… … This kid… … What did you do?”
Kyle frowned and began to rub the spot where he had hit the floor, as if it had hurt quite a bit.
But soon Kyle said as he stood up, holding Diana’s hand.
“I lost. Wow… … I lost strength at that moment and then I fell over right away. I admit it, hehe.”
Kyle praised Diana generously.
Although he never thought he would lose, he acknowledges that Diana is that great.
Diana smiled faintly at him.
“thanks.”
And then the next match ends in an instant.
“Are there two people left?”
Damien looked at the two finalists.
‘This is really… … I can’t keep up with your discerning eye.’
Coincidentally, both of these guys were recommended by Leonhark.
Diana and Terka.
The two people, looking at each other with quite serious expressions, seemed to have no intention of backing down.
Damien said as he looked at his men.
“I guess wrestling until the end is a bit much?”
“Wow!”
“Of course! Shouldn’t we have a proper showdown in the end, Commander?”
“Let’s go hot!”
It seemed like everyone in the unit was thinking the same thing as Damien.
Then Damien looked at Diana and Terka and asked.
“Do you also think that formal sparring is better than hand-to-hand wrestling?”
“Of course.”
“yes.”
The two answered without hesitation.
Then Damian nodded.
“Then that’s what we should do. The final match will be a duel. Each of you come up onto the sparring field with your desired weapon.”
This sparring session will show you how much these guys have trained so far.
Diana and Terka each came up onto the training ground holding the weapon of their choice.
Although it is a wooden sword for sparring, it is strong enough to break bones.
And the two people standing on the training ground looked at each other.
Of the two guys… who will become the leader of the couple?
Damien said with a smirk.
“start.”
At the same time, the two people ran towards each other.
“Haha, that’s an interesting sight.”
One of the people who was watching this spoke quietly.
