The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - [Author: Writing Ant]

Chapter 46

"Haa? That's going too far! Ugh!"

Rimmer frowned after answering Burren's ridiculous statement. He seemed to have realized that was his purpose.

"Ahem. Anyway, I have two things to tell you today. The first is about the sixth training ground."

"The sixth training ground?"

"What about it?"

"It's where those who've failed here went, right?"

The trainees tilted their heads, asking why he was suddenly talking about the training ground where the dropouts went.

"Apparently their pride was hurt because of the way that the Owen Kingdom's envoys belittled them and only asked to spar with the fifth training ground. They are now training until they bleed in order to catch up to us."

Rimmer grinned, saying that he was proud of the sixth training ground's trainees.

"The direct line and the collateral that dropped out due to injury also joined them recently, and they are training using the most difficult method, so you shouldn't be careless. Do your best every moment so that they won't catch up to you.

"Yes."

"Ehh..."

"Well, it's not even possible to catch up."

The trainees pouted. Since they'd made a huge gap already, they didn't seem to feel the necessity to be careful about them.

"Hah."

Rimmer nodded, as if he had already expected that reaction, and told them the second bit of news.

"There will be very special training next week."

"Wh-what is it?"

Dorian, who was already scared, started trembling.

"Special training, huh?"

"What is it? What else is left to do?"

Since Rimmer had done many strange things in the past, every trainee felt uneasy, not just Dorian.

"Of course it's a secret."

"Ah..."

"Instructor, you have to tell us in advance what kind of training it is so that we can prepare ourselves."

Burren raised his hand and argued with reason, but of course it didn't work against Rimmer.

"It's not fun if I tell you. No matter what it is, you'll be able to do it if you train hard enough."

"Hmm..."

Since he wasn't wrong, Burren pouted and lowered his hand.

"But if I were to give you a hint..."

Rimmer raised one finger and smiled. Unlike his usual light or cheerful smile, it was filled with an intense fighting spirit.

"It's a real battle."

"A real battle?"

"That was unexpected."

The trainees' eyes widened at hearing that it was a real battle instead of a spar.

"It's not unexpected, but it was about time. Since you said you would prepare, I'll tell you one thing for sure."

The craftiness around in his expression started to disappear. His smile was instead filled with a frightening amount of seriousness.

"You should be prepared for bloodshed."

After training, Rimmer left the household and went to the entertainment street located in the western suburb.
