The Returner Wants Complete Victory

22 – 022. Training (2)

“Is this the training ground?”

Bo-kyung, who came down to the underground training ground, looked around and expressed doubts.

In reality, the basement was made up of hallways and guest rooms like any other floor, making it meaningless to call it a training ground.

“Then what did you think was in the basement?”

“uh… . It looks like a gym on Earth, or there is a surprisingly large open space… ?”

“It’s all there. “Come out if you need to.”

I said that and opened the door to the nearest room and went in.

The room was similar in size to the guest room, but had no furniture or facilities.

Instead, magic circles were engraved on the walls, floor, and ceiling, and a crystal ball was fixed on a marble table in the corner right next to the door.

“It’s a little scary… .”

Bo-kyung, who followed me into the room, looked around and said.

Eunha didn’t say anything, but she seemed a little tired of seeing the magic circles engraved in all directions.

Instead of answering, I injected mana into the crystal ball.

“uh?”

“ah.”

Bo-kyung and Eun-ha let out a short exclamation.

The ripples that started in the crystal ball began to spread throughout the room, and soon the entire room turned into a large playground with a running track.

“Isn’t it amazing? It’s based on illusion magic mixed with materialization and various other things, and usually mercenary groups have at least one training facility like this. “This place was created for the owner’s hobby.”

For a hobby, it must have cost a lot of money.

Bo-kyung saw me like that and asked me as if she was curious.

“Senior, did you really come in faster than us?”

Since he doesn’t answer anymore, I start asking him questions gently.

When I stared at Bo-kyung, she avoided my gaze and smiled awkwardly, as if she had been caught.

“You know a lot, and you seem familiar with this world.”

“Isn’t that right?”

“also… .”

Bo-kyung seemed to have decided to just do it.

I held out a 5 kg weight vest to Eunha and Bokyung.

“ruler. “Put it on.”

“what! “Where did it come from all of a sudden?”

“I told you this when I came in. They say everything will come out if you need it. Take it quickly. “My arm hurts.”

After confirming that the two were wearing vests, I summoned a bundle of logs hanging on a string in the center of the playground for agility and sense training.

Eunha and Bo-kyung squirmed as if the hard feel of the vest was uncomfortable.

“Huh… . It’s heavier than I thought… .”

“So are you going to run now?”

Eunha urged me as if she wanted to start training as soon as possible.

Don’t fuss.

Because soon you will be begging for your life.

In a stern tone, almost like an instructor at a recruit training center, I first told them about the mindset they should have before training.

“From now on, all training will continue even if you feel like you are dying. “Not even close to passing out, but literally until you pass out.”

“For that reason, we do not accept any foolish behavior during training. “If you’re going to say things like, ‘I can’t do this, I’m going to die,’ there’s no need to waste your energy, so just don’t even start.”

The biggest difference between Proa and Earth is the presence or absence of potions.

The reason why you can train to the limit.

On Earth, if you get injured due to incorrect training, your athletic ability will be reduced, but here, if you gain 1 strength and your arm is shattered, it is actually a benefit.

All you have to do is heal your injured body with potions.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that very few people train in such a way that comes close to being harsh.

Before it was efficient, my mind couldn’t bear it.

Large mercenary groups usually spend the first three months training and completing achievements at the same time to raise new recruits to the level of combat soldiers.

But I don’t have time to waste on this.

Rather than spending time raising it like that, it would be better to just leave it alone and do my own thing.

“The goal is to raise the stats to 80% of the limit within two weeks. “Choosing a weapon comes next.”

Follow me with all your might.

If they can’t keep up, they just leave.

The kids seemed to have read my expression and swallowed their saliva.

I spoke firmly to those kids.

“What are you doing. run.”

Rick was bored.

Most of the inn’s facilities do not require human touch.

Most things like cleaning, laundry, and ventilation are solved with automated magic.

The only thing I do is clean the first floor and cook… .

Doesn’t that also require guests?

The restaurant on the first floor was not open like other inns, and was only open to hotel guests, so there was no way there would be any customers.

With nothing else to do, Rick settled into the rocking chair behind the counter.

For Rick, who resides in the lobby 24 hours a day, the rocking chair was like a bed.

Soon, he could not overcome the approaching beast and fell into sleep.

Belt- Belt- Belt-

“Wow, write it. what.”

Rick woke up in an instant as if he had fallen asleep and looked at the bottom of the counter.

Dozens of mana stones were tightly packed in a place that was not visible to the customer.

A mana stone used to detect abnormal signals connected to various parts of the accommodation.

Among them, one mana stone connected to the underground training ground was dyed red and was emitting a repetitive warning sound.

The guests who came yesterday said they were using the underground training facility, but I couldn’t figure out what they were doing to make the alarm sound.

“Did you cut off your arm while sparring? Something might have happened… “I can’t help it.”

Since the Martial Artists’ League began to become polarized, he has refrained from increasing his disciples, but where can his meddlesome nature go?

I was holding back because I felt like I would want to teach him if I went and looked around, but I couldn’t help it.

This is all for the safety of guests.

Rick, who had a good cause in mind, picked up a few low-level potions and headed to the underground training ground.

How long has it been since you started running?

“Knock, call. Ugh.”

Bo-kyung, whose entire body was drenched in sweat, collapsed to the ground, coughed, and then began to gag.

The galaxy just passed by like a zombie.

“What are you doing! run!”

I shouted at the two, knocking away the logs that were flying at random.

Eunha seemed to have heard my voice and sped up a little again, but Bo-kyung showed no sign of getting up.

Perfect!

I struck the log flying towards the back of my head with my wooden sword and escaped from between the logs.

“Wook, wow. Black… .”

Bo-kyung was still sitting in her place.

I had no choice but to stop training for a moment and approach Bo-kyung and ask.

“What are you doing. “Aren’t you going to run?”

Bo-kyung raised her head and looked at me, and a trace of nausea remained on the corner of her mouth.

I felt sorry when I saw that, but I couldn’t ignore it.

You shouldn’t do that, even for Bo-kyung’s sake.

You will feel nauseous and dizzy.

You might think that if you run any longer, you might die.

A false limitation created by the brain.

If you stop here, everything you’ve done so far will be in vain.

The point you think is your limit, when you reach it.

At that time, only those who take one step further are qualified to go ahead of others.

“Aren’t you going to run?”

I repeat the same question.

“Senior, I… , I… .”

Bo-kyung looked like she was about to cry, but she must have remembered what I said and didn’t say that she couldn’t do it.

Soon he lowered his head, placed his feet on the ground, and stood up again with shaky legs.

That was the moment when Bo-kyung barely woke up again.

dump.

This time, Eunha collapsed on the wrong side of the track.

*

Bo-kyung started running again, and I laid Eun-ha down in a place slightly off the track.

Unlike Bo-kyung, who stopped on her own in the middle, Eun-ha literally ran until she lost her mind, and eventually lost it.

When I gave him the potion I had brought with him, I felt his breathing stabilize.

“Please be gentle.”

When I saw that Eunha’s breathing had returned, I stood up and heard Rick’s voice from behind me.

Rick clicked his tongue as he looked at Eunha lying dead and Bokyung running with her eyes half-open.

“It is a good method to see results in a short period of time, but if you do it this way and take action a little late, you will end up in trouble. A potion is not an elixir of revival that can resurrect a dead person.”

“Isn’t it okay if I don’t feed it too late?”

Rick narrowed his eyes at my dull answer.

Then he looked at the log facility in the middle of the playground and told me.

His expression seemed slightly angry.

“If that’s the case, you really should have just watched from the side. Well, it’s only when my concentration reaches its limit that I can’t feel anything about my surroundings that my senses go up by 1. What if the people running at that moment collapse? Or, what if you make a mistake and get hit in the back of the head by a log and pass out? Still, can you be sure?”

I can assure you.

I’m not breaking my limits, but I’m in the process of regaining my lost strength.

When it comes to physical training, the only way is to run until you collapse like those two, but in other training, there is no such thing as accidentally losing consciousness.

“I don’t know why there’s such a rush, but take it step by step and grow. “If you look at the training details, it seems like those two are definitely chicks, even if you don’t know it, but there is no mercenary group that pushes new recruits like this.”

But Rick, who didn’t know that fact, gave me advice as if he was genuinely worried.

“I know what you mean. But, we also have circumstances.”

To be exact, it’s not ours, it’s my situation.

The kids have no choice but to be dragged in because of me.

But, I definitely gave them a choice.

The option to cut off the leash that is leading you.

Will you be protected by me, or will you stand by my side and fight?

It was the kids’ decision to follow, and if so, shouldn’t that be respected?

After hearing my answer, Rick looked at me for a while and then quietly sat down in the corner of the track.

He was still a very shy man.
