Today was the beginning of the summer of the year 6,033.
"This is the end of your training today. Thank you for your hard work."
"Huuu, Leona Am I done yet?
Leona Scanor.
This nine-star guardian warrior took the role of a figure who teaches the basics of swordplay in the flower garden.
As Flower, who left the castle of blood and entered his home, as well as the current warrior with the authority, to become a King of the sword in a few years Raimon had to suffer a lot in his training.
Every Flower had to undergo basic sword training at Castle Cailleach.
"Haha, yes Young Master, look at the guards beside you. They all look like they're going to die."
Raimon looked around. There were kids of the same age who were only 14 years old. As Leona said, they are all sweating and barely vomiting.
"Well, it was hard for me too."
Leona's training just named two years ago, was characterized by its narrowness.
Many of those who became Duchy Flower guardians after passing a huge rate of the competition were left behind because they couldn't handle Leona Scanor's training.
That's what happened at the time when Leona was an apprentice. Raimon could not keep up with Leona's training at the beginning of the classes. At first glance, he seems to enjoy privileges, but it was an unparalleled shame as a Flower not being able to keep up with the classes.
"It's a shame that I only received personal guidance because I'm the only son of the current Duke at Cailleach Castle."
"I couldn't even do what everyone else was doing."
"Of course, I was even the best of the entire group of apprentices at Castle Cailleach."
"Everything is more difficult compared to Sebastian."
Raimon's map showed terrible performance, which then improved completely.
Raimon shook his head once, thinking about those days.
"Besides, do you have to train with Duchess Dalia in the afternoon?"
Raimon nodded when Leona finished speaking.
Currently, Raimon is being trained by his mother, Duchess Dalia Flower, in addition to Leona's training.
Duchess Dalia Flower who recognized the frightening pace of Raimon's growth, claimed him as a genius herself. To be recognized by a Semi-God rank powerhouse is an honorable achievement that many apprentices envied.
Guards envy and long for, and warriors and knights envy and long for.
"Right. Well, I guess I'll have to go eat."
"Are you going to eat with the cadets today too? Every time Duchess Dalia seems like ..."
"It's these guys who hang out with me every day."
"All right, Young Master."
The servants began to bring their meals to the training ground.
Rice, vegetables, and meat in a big iron can. It's a raw meal, but everything is made from top-quality ingredients.
The knights and guard warriors were lined up to receive food. It was the job of a boy named "Aldrich" to get Raimon's share instead.
"Thank you and eat with me."
"No, young master."
"What do you mean no? Sit down, let's eat."
Aldrich Parker. He is 13 years old and of the common people.
And, as it was, he was destined to be disqualified and deported from the flower garden after observing him.
His talent was not very good at swordplay, but according to Eclipse, he could be a genius at wielding spiritual power.
"Delicious?"
"Of course, I'm always grateful to the Flowers for allowing me to eat this kind of meat, and to Young Master, who always gives me his share of the meat..."
"Stop to stop. Say ah. How can you answer the same thing every time without hearing a different word? Are you memorizing it?"
Aldrich blushed, coughing in vain.
"Sometimes you have to know how to act simple, Aldrich. Every time you talk about it, other guys keep ignoring you."
"Well, is that so?"
"Stretch your shoulders. Be proud to be an apprentice guardian and warrior Flower."
"But I'm at the bottom of my grade. Not even a star yet..."
"Please. Being an apprentice in Flower, isn't that something anyone can do?"
There's a lot of meaningless shame, no confidence and gentleness to be found, no strength to be found anywhere. That's what Raimon saw as Aldrich's character.
So Raimon was even more doubtful.
"Well, that's why the family didn't recognize him and a lot of people resent him."
"How can this guy be transformed into someone who will follow me on my adventures?"
What Raimon didn't know was that in Aldrich's body was the royal bloodline of the former Star Empire. Eclipse had sensed his latent talents the moment she first saw him.
However, awakening the stellar bloodline was very difficult as very complicated conditions had to be met.
The reason why the Star Empire fell so quickly during the previous war was that the members of the family with power were few.
If Raimon could get his friend to awaken this bloodline he would save his life in many moments of crisis.
During the first invasion of the abyss, the first to react was the Star Empire, which was the one with the most overall strength at that time.
The Stellar Knights, one of the eight most powerful Knights of the Star Empire, with a total of 200,000 people! They were all warriors and knights with a strength of star level 8! Their leader was a powerful and terrifying god warrior descended from the royal family!
The Star Knights were always synonymous with strength, but in that war, they did not bring the light of victory, and dozens of battles ended in disastrous defeats.
Faced with the army of the abyss that was a thousand times their own, the Stellar Knights suffered heavy losses, and most of the warriors were buried in the north...
They only managed to prolong the destruction of the Star Empire for a week and it was thanks to their leader that the information was sent to the other forces of the Thunder Continent that they managed to repel that invasion.
