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

Chapter 7

Although he hadn't been running for a long time, he was already out of breath. His body was much weaker than in his previous life.

"Haah."

He held his breath as he got short of breath. He handled the Ring of Fire while focusing on the simple action of inhaling through his nose and exhaling through his mouth.

Nature's mana was entwined in each breath that passed his lips.

The mana particles, which were fluttering like pollen, ran through his mana circuits to give vitality to his body and suppress the emerging ice.

'It's a good flow.'

Raon nodded. The 'Ring of Fire' was most effective when combined with physical activities. That was why he was able to handle the mana at a level and purity much more superior than usual.

"Huuu..."

His clothes were wet with sweat, and he felt burnt out. However, he couldn't stop himself from smiling from the vitality the Ring of Fire was generating.

"Raon!"

While he was trying to focus more on the bliss of training that stimulated his whole body, Sylvia's head poked out of the window that burst open.

"Why are you overdoing it from the first day?"

"Huff... huff..."

Raon slowed his steps and started panting.

"You're sweating so much! That was way too much!"

"It... It just started."

Breathing heavily, he lowered his head.

'It wasn't a bother. She did well stopping me.'

Sylvia was correct this time. He was more like a patient, so he would've gotten sick if he kept running, despite the vitality from the Ring of Fire.

'I still have plenty of time.'

There was still a month before the start of basic training.

It was enough time to raise the two-star Ring of Fire up to three-star, so he needed to proceed slowly, without haste.

"I'm going to rest in my room."

"How is your body? Does it feel bad anywhere?"

He shook his head at Sylvia, who was looking around his body with concerned eyes.

"No. I think I need to stop for today and rest."

"If you overdo it again tomorrow, I'm going to forbid you from training."

"Don't worry."

Raon smiled lightly and went to his room.

'Now, I shall practice with the vertical ring.'

The Ring of Fire that rotated horizontally developed the body, while the 'Ring of Fire' that rotated vertically developed the mind.

He had been practicing with the horizontal Ring of Fire up to that point, so it was time to practice with the vertical one.

Raon closed his eyes while sitting on the floor. He took in nature's mana with a greater mental focus than when he was running.

Bzzt!

A flimsy shadow started to form next to the two rings of fire that were rotating around his heart.

Glenn Zieghart left the lord's manor and headed to the fifth training ground, alone.

Upon entering, he could see the instructors strengthening the yellow ground that hundreds of trainees would use.
