However, Raon still had enough stamina to spare, despite how he looked.

'This is easy.'

In his previous life, he trained the riding posture while carrying rocks on his back and thighs. He was even younger then than he was now. The current training was nothing compared to that time.

Of course, the cold spreading throughout his tired body was creating unbearable pain. He felt like his flesh was being torn apart, and his bone was being frozen, but it was an opportunity for him to become stronger.

Whir.

Raon took in the ice in his body by rotating the rings of fire, all while keeping the riding position.

As painful as it was, he could absorb a considerable amount of ice, and the Ring of Fire progressed further.

At the rate he was going, he felt like he could easily win the bet against Wrath, although he must've been unaware of it.

When Raon was so focused that he almost forgot it was a training on the riding position, a clapping sound could be heard from above the platform.

"Stop!"

When he came to, Rimmer stood up and nodded. The other children were sitting down massaging their thighs like they were dough.

How long are you going to ignore the King of Essence!

'I'm sorry, I missed it.'

You inferior bastard...

Wrath swore at Raon, who only stared in response. It looked like he'd been mumbling all along.

"Huff..."

Ignoring Wrath, Raon kept relaxing his thigh and waist muscles with a refreshing breath.

Ding!

[An extreme stamina-surpassing action was performed.]

[Stamina has increased.]

A message announcing an increase in stamina appeared once again. Feeling his vitality return to his trembling thighs, he stretched from his waist.

"Just like yesterday, some of you held on until the end while others gave up."

Looking at those who were still standing, Rimmer wagged his finger.

"Let me repeat. I'm just giving you the instructions. I won't directly interfere with your training. Break through your limits by yourselves. Give your mind a hard smack when it starts saying you did enough. That's how you will pass the test in six months."

He continued, maintaining his tricky smile.

"I won't repeat this again. From now on, I won't care whether you give up or hold on until the end anymore."

After telling them to loosen up their thighs in preparation for the next day's training, Rimmer left.

A mere pointy-eared bastard who believes in the nature god is talking about idealism. How ridiculous. And willpower is nothing in front of overwhelming power.

'That's not true.'

What do you mean?

'You do need willpower.'
