Thus, my training life in the training camp has officially started
The main training content is marching
We did nothing but walking while wearing the armor used by regular soldiers
Don't make light of it although I say it's just walking, the distance we walked is not half-hearted at all
We spent one day doing nothing but walking
We walk around the training camp's plaza again and again
Moreover, as mentioned above we are wearing armors used by regular soldiers, so due to its heaviness, our stamina is reduced much faster than usual
In addition, there are also weapons that a soldier would normally carry like spears or swords, or even the necessary food and survival goods for marching. They are extremely heavy
In other words, it's a training about travelling in a long distance with the same situation as a real marching. And naturally, trainees who are still not adults yet won't have the stamina to accomplish it
They used up their strength and collapsed one by one
「Who said you can take a break! Stand up! Stand up and walk! Can you trashy insect be useful for his highness the emperor with such weaknesses!」
Instructor Atekoro is raising his voice to abuse the trainees
His broken right fist was covered in gypsum
This world also has gypsum, huh
「Instructor, in fact, can't I heal that injury for you?」
「Shut up, trashy insect! Don't talk as you please! You can only talk when I ask you!!」
「I also learned recovery magic during my trip, so I can cure something like bone fracture instantly you know?」
「Didn't I tell you to shut up, you trashy insect!!」
The instructor yelled back at me who is running around the track
The other trainees can walk, but I alone was forced to run
It seems to be related to the 『double the training』 the instructor said at our first contact
By the way, the luggage I carried is also twice as heavy as the other trainees'
However, I run with them while my breathing is still normal
On the current track, the ones who are still standing and continue to move are me and a few people
Other guys already used up all of their strength and are rolling on the ground
「Can't you not be stubborn? If I did it then you will be cured instantly, you know? Instantly」
「I told you to be silent, you trashy insect!」
Finally, the instructor snapped and rushed over to me from the center of the track. Howver I am still running
Because I continue to move, the distance between the chasing side and chased side doesn't reduce at all
「Wait...! Stop! Hi...! Did you stop...!」
「Yes, yes」
I received the instruction and stopped
Instructor Atekoro was able to catch up from behind while breathing heavily
「Haa, haa...you trashy insect! You dare to make light of the instructor! This is your punishment!!」
Instuctor Atekoro raises the wooden stick in his left hand and strikes it at me
Upon contact, the wooden stick broke into small splinters
「...!!」
While the woodchip scattered, instructor Atekoro's face paled
「You used a tool for punishment instead of your hand now? It seems like you have learned from the damage?」
「However, how do you feel as a teacher? As for the punishment too, was my feeling able to be transmitted through the pain in your fist?」
Other trainees' gaze are focused on us
Instructor Atekoro's dignity faded rapidly
「Moreover, you also didn't run. While the trainees were running many laps, you was in the center of the tract, didn't even move a step and only yelled at them...」
「W, what's wrong with that!?」
「Shouldn't the instructor be a sample for us to see? Please go ahead and show us what the ideal soldier is」
The color of resentment appeared in the eyes of the surrounding trainees
『Only that guy is enjoying』『and yet he's looking self-important』, resentments like that boiled up after being inspired by my words
「Shut up! Why should I walk together with you!? That is not an instructor's duty!」
「In that case, the instructor job must be a really easy one. Even a fool can do it」
「What?」
It seems like I unconsciously provoked him
Anger rises in the face of a middle-aged man who lacked the potential to advance in his career
In such an explosive situation, a disturbing intruder appeared
「Onii-chan!」
「Heh?」
I thought it was a hallucination, but it was wrong
It's certainly my sister Selen
Before I could think "why are you in this place!?", Selen dashed vigorously from the entrance of the training camp
I was directly hugged
「gufuu!?」
I was knocked back about 2 meters due to the impact
But, instead of unsightly falling over, I hold out while my feet are sunk into the ground
The dignity of a brother is saved
「Selen? Why are you here? Also, your tackle is strong!?」
「I came to cheer for Onii-chan during training! Fight!」
Cheer...!?
Moreover, dear sister, you are an imperial elite candidate, so shouldn't you continue your own training?
「W, who is that lass!? How dare she pollute this sacred training camp!?」
Sure enough, Instructor Atekoro got angry
「I am sorry! My sister arbitrarily...!」
「Sister?...Hmm, brother is trash so sister must be trash too. What a dirty brat」
「aaah?」
What did you say just now?
You can insult me, but insulting my sister is unforgivable. Let's kill this guy
「Guwaha!?」
Then Atekoro was blown away
But not by me
It was Selen who hit him
「What did you say just now? Did you say Onii-chan is trash?」
My sister's expression contained a chilling anger I have never seen before
「You can insult me, but insulting Onii-chan is unforgivable. Shall I, elite candidate Selen, kill you?」
「Elite candidate!?」
Just when he heard her title, Atekoro's face paled
Moreover, the surroundings are also....
「Oi, that small child is an elite candidate...!?」
「Isn't the one currently at the first of the elite candidate list, who will soon certainly enter the imperial guard, also called Selen!?」
「That Selen who is nicknamed 『Destruction Loli』!?」
「A common instructor dares to oppose the top elite candidate...Atekoro will die soon!?」
The trainees' murmuring can be heard
「Elite candidate!? Hi!? Hiiii...!?」
Instructor Atekoro immediately do a dogeza on the spot
「I am really sorry! I was ignorant for not knowing your status! This is Atekoro's lifetime blunder!」
What is that skillfully change of attitude?
The man who dominated the trainees as if he was a king changed his attitude too fast
「...Seki-kun!」
「Yes yes」
At this time, it's best to ask the well-informed Seki
「The elite candidates are formally registered to the military even if they are just candidates. Moreover, their ranks are high. A common training camp instructor must be intimidated when talking to one」
「Oppose them means death?」
「Yes」
For real?
Before I realized, my sister has obtained such authority?
「Rather, Jira-kun? You are the brother of the 『Destruction loli』 Selen-sama? Isn't it great? I can immediately understand your monster-like strength. But can I ask something? Why did a monster like you entered this common training camp!?」
Seki's composure also disappeared as he questioned me in a roundabout way
「For real...!?」
「That is the strongest elite...!?」
The surrounding's whispering became loud
They are not whispering anymore
As I can't endure this any longer, I called out to Selen to change the topic
Selen is persistently chasing Atekoro
「Ah, that reminds me, Selen. What are you holding?」
「A, this?」
The mysterious thing my sister is carrying is, in short, an iron pole
However, it's strangely huge
Its overall length is much longer than the height of its owner Selen. Its thickness is also like a log
Selen is easily carrying such an extremely big and heavy thing on her shoulder
「It's a part of my training. To increase my stamina, the teachers in the training school told me to always carry this!」
「At a glance, it looks heavy...!?」
「It is heavy. Onii-chan wants to try holding?」
「Yes」
My sister handed over the gigantic iron bar
I tightly grab it and try to swing it around as a test.
Hyun, hyun, hyuyhuhyuhyuhyuhyun *air cutting sfx*
「It's surely heavy」
「「「「「Is that a lie!?」」」」」
Retorts came from all directions for some reasons
「That *hyunhyun* sound! That wind-cutting sound! It's as if he was swinging a really light thing!」
「However, the sands rolled up greatly with every swing! That thing is absolutely heavy! To swing it easily like that!」
「Monster! Too monstrous!!」
Somehow, the other trainees' evaluations are disconnected
Even so, my life at the training camp continued safely
