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

Chapter 68

Rimmer stared at the backs of the trainees he'd raised for the past three years.

The instructors approached him once the trainees had completely disappeared.

"Head instructor, shouldn't you start following them now?"

"No."

Rimmer shook his head. He yawned while grabbing the back of his neck with clasped hands.

"There's a guy with an inhuman perception. I'm going to take a nap first."

He went to the head instructor's office after saying that.

"Ha..."

"I-is that okay?"

"It might be late, but shouldn't we go after them?"

The instructors' worrying voices could be heard from behind him, but Rimmer smiled, pretending to not hear them.

'I should worry about the orcs instead of them.'

Raon looked back while walking at the front. The forty-two trainees were moving in four lines, but they were divided into three factions.

The first was the collateral faction with Burren Zieghart as center. The collaterals were following Burren as their master.

The second was a faction of vassal families that opposed the collaterals. However, Runaan-who should've been their center-was sticking next to Raon, which made their stance rather awkward.

The third was the recommended children with commoner backgrounds. Raon had helped them back when they were temporary trainees, and they were still following him.

Finally, Martha was the exception that didn't belong anywhere.

After checking each trainee's expressions, Raon closed his eyes.

Honestly, he didn't care what they did or what they became.

Despite his status as a trainee under the Zieghart name, he didn't think he belonged to that place. He was going to leave after returning Sylvia to her position in the direct line.

However.

The spar against the Owen Kingdom, the first mission, and the battle against the sixth training ground made him realize that wasn't all there was to it.

Since he spent a long time with them, sharing the same thoughts, he grew a bit attached to them.

'And Mom's words are also bothering me.'

Sylvia's voice, telling him to act like the ancient Zieghart swordsman as the top trainee, was still engraved in his heart.

'It's difficult.'

Probably because he had lived as an assassin, taking care of his allies was more difficult than killing and destroying his enemies.

"We're going to rest here."

Raon stopped in front of a huge tree, thick enough that five grown men wouldn't be enough to hug it together. The trainees sat down, leaning their backs against the tree.

"I have something to tell you."

As the trainees were drinking water and catching their breath, he stood in front of them.

"Some of you might dislike me, but I'm currently your top trainee."

His calm voice stating the fact made some people clench their fists, some nod their heads, and others didn't show any reaction at all.
