The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 900
Chapter 900
Oh my!
Laon and the Gwangpungdae inspectors walked to the center of the training ground along the path opened by the Sieghart Forces.
They stood in front of the stage, completely erasing the playful gaze they usually had, and emitting a sharp aura like a sword.
Gooooooo!
The audience, who had been applauding and cheering, lowered their hands and held their breath at the solemn and heavy appearance emanating from the Gwangpungdae inspectors.
The prosecutors who were paying their respects also swallowed dry saliva as if they were surprised by the momentum.
The serious air flowing from the wind-blown soldiers who were lined up in front of the stage and raised their hands to the sword seemed to show the spirit of a hero saving a battlefield in crisis.
It had the power to silence the noisy and crowded training grounds at once.
“······”
Raon stood at the head of the storm squad and nodded to Chad. It meant that they could proceed to the next step.
“Umm······”
Chad nodded, letting out a low moan as if he was out of breath just from receiving Raon’s gaze.
“Power right now”
The prosecutors who had been saluting his instructions returned to their original positions, and the audience also sat down and let out a low breath.
Even though we only briefly encountered the momentum of the storm, cold sweat was running down everyone’s foreheads.
“Huh····”
Chad took a deep breath and took a step forward.
“The Gwangpungdae played the greatest role in leading the war against the Southern and Northern Alliance to victory, stopped the dragons that attacked Sephia and solidified the alliance with the elves, and saved the Gray Hammer Guild from the demons, creating an opportunity for all of Sieghart’s swordsmen to obtain weapons made from dragon bones.”
He recited, in a tone full of weight, the achievements of the Gwangpungdae so far, one by one.
“In addition, in the last mission, the leader of the Gwangpungdae slew the four swords that threatened the Iron Troops, and made Sieghart’s name shine even higher than the Five Emperors. In addition, he achieved many other feats and gained fame. With the consent of all executives, including the leader, I will promote the Gwangpungdae to the Gwangpungjeon.”
Chad turned back the slightly crumpled papers with his shaking hands.
“First, I would like to say some words of encouragement from the Lord.”
He glanced at Glenn, who was sitting on the throne, then stepped back.
“Ahem·”
Glenn coughed and rose from his throne. He looked down at Raon and the Gwangpungdae with his red-tinged eyes.
“Umm······”
“Ugh”
The inspectors standing in the wind tunnel and smoke screen let out low groans as if they were suffocating just from receiving Glenn’s gaze.
“The beginning of the Gwangpungdae was weak. The leader was a washed-up swordsman still suffering from the aftereffects of an injury, and the members, barely over 30, were rookies just starting out on the path of the sword. No one expected it.”
Glenn smiled faintly as if he was reminded of the first whirlwind.
“However, as the non-conference leader said, the Gwangpungdae has made many contributions since the Gwangpungdan days, and has spread the name of Sieghart, which had been buried, throughout the continent. According to a recent survey by the black market, the leader of the Gwangpungdae was chosen as the most respected person among the swordsmen of the continent, the leader of the Gwangpungdae was also chosen as the most desired person to resemble, and the leader of the most handsome person···”
He slowly began to curl the corners of his mouth as he said that, unlike his chaotic temperament, Raon was ranked first in all popularity rankings.
“Not only that, Gwangpungdaeju was also ranked first among the prosecutors with the highest potential for development, and naturally, he was also ranked first among the people who would later break the balance of the Five Emperors and Five Horses···”
He kept listing only the categories in which Raon was ranked first, to the point that I don’t know where or how he did the research.
“Go, my lord?”
Chad called Glenn in a very small voice, his dry lips trembling.
“Now is the time to give some words of encouragement······”
“ah····”
Glenn, now feeling the blank stares of the people, coughed and lowered the corners of his lips that had been rising.
“Do you know what Jeon means?”
He turned his dry eyes again and looked at the windmill.
“It means a pavilion or palace.”
Burren answered the question right away without hesitation.
“That’s right. It means a palace or a hall. But there is another meaning in it.”
Glenn looked into Burren’s eyes and smiled faintly.
“It is not just a simple building like a pavilion or palace, but everything inside it.”
“all···?”
“Home, clothes, food, weapons and people.”
He nodded, folding his fingers.
“I’ll ask you again, what do you think Jeon is?”
Glenn shook his head briefly and looked at Raon.
“Family… a small family?”
Raon narrowed his eyes at Glenn and the audience sitting behind him.
“That’s right. I have an independent position among the Sieghardt military forces. I often make decisions based on my own judgment outside of the control of the head of the household. As you said, it’s no different from running a small household.”
Glenn slowly turned his gaze to look at Karun, Denier, and Balder sitting in the audience.
“That is why the other name given to Jeonju is Successor Candidate. He runs a small family called Jeon, and later on, he gets the chance to get his hands on this huge Sieghart.”
He nodded, saying that becoming a Jeonju was like becoming a candidate for the successor to Sieghardt.
“If you are greedy for the position of the head of the household, you will have to build up a record that will not be inferior to them in the future.”
Glenn smiled faintly, saying that more difficult times were ahead.
“The same goes for Gwangpungdae. If Jeonju is the head of the household, you are the sole. If the sole causes trouble, it will ruin the head of the household’s face, so you should be more careful with your words and actions than you are now.”
He briefly lowered his hand as he looked at the windmill standing behind Raon.
“yes!”
The Gwangpungdae inspectors, with their hands on their hearts as if they would never disappoint, poured out answers that shook the training ground.
“more·”
Glenn stepped back as if he had finished what he wanted to say.
“Then next, I will award the Gwangpungjeon’s badge. Starting with the Gwangpungdaeju, please come up to the stage one by one.”
Chad quickly moved on to the next step so as not to damage Glenn’s dignity.
“yes·”
Raon nodded to Chad and went up to the stage to stand in front of Glenn.
“You said you became interested in Gaju to protect the people you cherish. I look forward to more in the future.”
Glenn handed me the gold badge with a cold look in his eyes, as if he had never smiled before.
It was similar in shape to the gold medals I often received, but instead of a flaming sword, a green wind-blowing sword was engraved in the center.
It was the way he and the entire Gwangpungdae wanted to remember Limer.
“thank you·”
Raon received the Gwangpungjeon card after sweeping the Jinhongeom once. It was a small card, but it felt heavier than receiving a lump of iron, perhaps because of what Glenn had said.
“I believe in you”
Glenn said he believed something that no one else could hear.
“I won’t disappoint you”
“I don’t think that will happen.”
He patted me on the shoulder, saying something that could be interpreted in several ways.
“···thank you·”
Raon bowed his head to Glenn and stepped back to the end of the stage.
When I looked at the card of the Gwangpungjeon placed in my hand, the image of Limer came to mind.
[Aren’t you interested in Gaju?]
[If I become the head of a household, who do you think I would do better than?]
[Think about it for a moment. Without any burden. Yeah! Without any burden! Don’t feel burdened, just think about it. No, I’m not burdening you···]
Limer had suggested that he come to Gaju once a week.
Perhaps the reason I became even a little interested in the position was because of what he said.
‘If you saw this, you would have liked it.’
Limer was the one who loved his own promotion and growth more than anyone else, so he must have been happier than his family today.
-That would have been it.
Lass clicked his tongue and nodded.
-That earwig treated you guys like little brothers.
The guy let out a short sigh, saying that they looked more like family than teacher and student.
‘okay·’
It was when Raon was smiling bitterly.
Wooooow!
As if Jinhongeom knew his mind, he rang out a clear sword sound and created a green wind.
What should I say? It felt like Limer, who had already left, was standing next to me and congratulating me on my promotion to the Gwangpungjeon.
“Group 1 Leader Martha Sieghardt, Forward”
At Chad’s words, Martha went up to the stage.
“Your courage and resilience have always been a great help to the Gwangpungdae. I ask for your continued support.”
Glenn gave Martha advice and handed her the card of the whirlwind battle.
“Yes! Don’t worry!”
Martha greeted him briskly as always and received a badge with the wind in it.
“Berren, your greatest weapon is not only your precise and sharp swordsmanship, but also your calm disposition. Keep it well-kept as it is now.”
Glenn nodded and reminded Burren of his strengths.
“I will never forget it”
Burren held the Gwangpungjeon badge with trembling hands, as if he was touched by Glenn’s advice.
“Lunaan, the entire Gwangpungdae was able to move forward thanks to your support. Thank you for taking on the difficult task.”
Glenn smiled brightly, as if he was pleased with Runaan’s heart that cared for others before himself.
“yes·”
Fortunately, Runaan did not speak informally, but he gave a very short answer and took the Gwangpungjeon card in his hand.
“uh····”
Glenn was embarrassed, but when he saw Runaan’s fierce expression, he was so embarrassed that he couldn’t continue speaking and just let it go.
“Dorian, always looking scared is not a good attitude for an inspector, but you have given courage to everyone in other ways. I look forward to your future.”
“Hehe, hehe······”
Dorian took the windblast pattern, panting like a man whose heart had disappeared.
Looking at his pale face, I thought he would have collapsed if he had been just a little more nervous.
‘You really did a good job.’
Glenn seemed to be watching the entire stormtroopers, giving them compliments and pointers on how to improve in the future. Just hearing him speak made my heart beat so hard it felt like it was going to burst.
Crack·
Glenn gave a light clap of his hands after passing the Gwangpungjeon’s pattern to all the Gwangpungdae inspectors.
“A tribute to the Gwangpungdae, marking the end and a new beginning”
As soon as he finished speaking, the prosecutors in the training hall and the prosecutors in the audience stood up and drew their swords.
Chiriririring!
Hundreds, no, over a thousand swords turned in a single line, emitting a silvery light.
“Take a bow to the storm!”
The second inspection, a greeting from the Sieghardt inspectors that was even more awe-inspiring than the first, poured out toward the Gwangpungdae.
The Gwangpungdae prosecutors, standing before the grand and solemn greeting, clenched their fists and held back tears of emotion.
“Please tell us your thoughts on behalf of Gwangpungjeonju”
Chad called Raon forward again, saying that it was the last turn.
“hmm····”
Raon stood at the end of the stage like Glenn and looked at Sieghardt’s inspectors and the audience. He slowly exhaled and spoke the words he had prepared.
“At first, I didn’t have much feelings for Sieghart. If I had, it was more malice than kindness, and that was the impression Sieghart left on me. Since I was a child, there were hardly any good things happening to me.”
At those words, the immediate family members and executives who had tormented him since childhood bit their lips and bowed their heads.
“But there was someone who taught me how precious family is and how important people are.”
Raon met Sylvia’s eyes, who was looking at him with her hands clasped together.
“Thanks to that person, I learned the importance of relationships. From simple colleagues to comrades, we became comrades, and little by little, a family that had been colder than others began to connect. The hand I extended to someone later became a hand that helped me, and I realized how amazing the relationships between people are.”
I turned my gaze away from Sylvia, who was shedding tears, and looked at Sieghardt’s inspectors.
“Thanks to you, I learned what is and is not the path for my family, and I have a small dream that I want to achieve in my family. I will continue to do my best for that dream.”
Raon drew his sword while looking into the eyes of the inspectors. He turned the silver blade upside down and returned the awe they had shown him.
‘hmm?’
As he was smiling slightly at the inspectors who seemed touched by his greeting, a small vibration occurred behind him.
“Huh······”
When I looked back, Glen was laughing openly with his face hidden behind his back.
I immediately turned my gaze away because I thought that if I kept looking, I would also feel less nervous.
‘Mom and Dad are happy too.’
Sylvia and Edgar were openly shedding tears, and Sia waved her hands vigorously, as if she was happy to be the center of attention.
“Laon!”
He waved his hands, holding onto the railing, as if he were of the same mental age as Aristotle.
“hmm····”
“Nieceeeeeeeeeee!”
Karun lowered his eyebrows and opened only one eye as if he was okay, and Balder waved his large arm as if to tell him to look at him.
‘Those people have changed a lot too…?’
When Raon was about to finish his examination by nodding slightly,
‘That guy······’
Denier was smiling
It wasn’t a gentle smile as usual, but a twisted smile that seemed to have accomplished the evil deed he had wanted to do. It was a very sticky and bizarre smile that made my hair stand on end.
