Thanks to the two weeks of constant training, he managed to get up to the level of the middle-tier group.

At that rate, it looked like he would catch up to Burren and Runaan's level before the test.

'Let's start today's training.'

When he lifted the shoulder equipment, Runaan approached to his left.

"Huff!"

She started lifting a weight way heavier than his with a glazed expression, as if she were going to start drooling.

The dumb looking girl is here again.

'Let her be.'

Since she wasn't bothering him, he ignored her and kept working.

This time around, he could hear someone sitting down on his right side.

"I... I'm sorry. Am I bothering you?"

The green-haired trainee with a pocket on his belly was scratching his head. He was the only one who would speak to him.

'His name was Dorian.'

He got scared by Rimmer's instructions each time, but he was fast-footed and tenacious.

"Do you want some?'

Dorian offered him round crackers from his belly pocket again.

"Ah..."

Raon unintentionally took it. When he was about to give it back, he could feel a powerful gaze from his side. Runaan's purple eyes were sparkling like a snow field.

It's my first time seeing that dumb girl with that expression.

'Does she like crackers?'

Her eyes were fixated on the cracker.

"Do you want it?"

"..."

Raon extended the hand holding the cracker towards her. After thinking about it for a bit, moving her finger like a wild cat, she took the cracker.

"...Thank you."

Showing her appreciation to Raon and Dorian, she bit the cracker like a rabbit nibbling a leaf.

Her lips drew a soft arc, looking like she enjoyed the cracker.

She was like a cat when she took it, and a rabbit when she ate it, and an idle puppy at other times. She was peculiar in many ways.

"Erm... Sir Raon?"

Dorian turned his head, after putting the rest of his crackers back to his pocket.

"Can I also train next to you?"

He said he wanted to learn the posture as well.

"If you want."

Raon nodded. His quick progress was thanks to the 'Ring of Fire' and his experience from his previous life. Copying his posture was not an issue.

"Thank you!"

"It's nothing."

Waving his hand at Dorian's expression, he focused on his lifting once again.

Creak!

When he was stimulating his muscles as much as possible, he could hear Dorian's equipment moving at the same speed and range, and the same could be heard from his left side, where Runaan was located.

'They're weirdos.'

The King of Essence likes the guy that looks like a green raccoon.
