Chapter 55
“Instructor could you please extend the training time?”
“?”
Was chick number 7’s name Rose?
The passionate female cadets who appeared after the Levi Fault.
It’s true that it’s amazing but Lee Han knows…
I’m not asking you to do that because I want to become a knight…
“And if possible I would like to be able to improve her stamina and athletic ability. Is that possible?”
“It must be difficult in many ways to make that possible in a short period of time right?”
“You’re not saying it’s impossible. Then I’ll do it.”
“···The exercise class seems to be close…”
“yes·”
A struggle for survival…
How many people were there?
Today alone more than 10 people have already submitted requests for a new training program.
There are even cadets who bring potions high-quality chocolate or whiskey like Cheong-tak…
However Lee Han felt helpless as he knew that this was not really a request but just a request to somehow increase his physical strength and athleticism.
This isn’t even a gym…
Also with summer approaching I feel like I am being asked to give an intensive lecture because I urgently want to build abs.
But what…
“Everyone should stop asking for favors and those who want to improve their physical strength and athletic ability should come by 7 a.m. every day without missing a day. I may not improve their athletic ability but I will definitely increase their physical strength.”
-Yes yes!
The chicks returned with happy faces.
When he said he would help he looked like he had gained a thousand soldiers and ten thousand demons…
However anyone who has truly worked under Lee Han will know…
It’s like trying to avoid a snake and encountering a cliff…
“You’re doing something you’ll regret.”
“It looks like a lot of people are going to die tomorrow…”
Garand and Arno were already making pitiful expressions saying that the sight of the chicks crying was a good thing.
but·
“Ugh!”
“Why is there so much to memorize?”
“···Isn’t it okay to just use the sword well? “Why does a driver have to study!”
“Because I’m not a knight yet…”
“···I see…”
While there are some who will cry tomorrow there are also quite a few people who will cry from now on…
Square Square·
In the training hall where originally only the sound of rough wooden swords and the sound of jumping rope should have been heard there were many people studying with pens and graphite instead of wooden swords.
In the case of libraries and study rooms everyone had already taken their seats and had to crouch down to study.
In the case of bears they cleverly used bearskin and studied by laying it out like a mat and it seems to be quite comfortable to study.
They said to use it instead of armor…
“Is it still better than those who waste money?”
However those who wasted more tools than them were the masters who purchased desks and created study rooms in the training hall.
Even though Lee Han gave permission to use it however he wanted he was nervous and wondered what kind of money that was.
Anyway I was anxious because I couldn’t show off as a rich boy…
“This is why I call you Master…”
“I can hear everything instructor.”
“I’m telling you to listen guys. So you normally study but are you doing that now?”
“…I was busy…”
“If you only have a long tongue tsk tsk…”
“····”
They had a lot to say but they didn’t hang out with him anymore.
To memorize at least one more thing rather than arguing…
“···hmm·”
As Lee Han watched the training ground filled with an unseasonable enthusiasm for learning a famous saying suddenly came to mind…
“They say it’s a comedy when seen from afar but a tragedy when seen up close…”
As he said it was funny but Lee Han shook his head and decided to do squats in silence at the spectacle that he couldn’t bear to laugh at.
Let’s do just 10000…
* * *
The Pendragon Royal Academy’s exam is a famous ‘Big-Event’ for the citizens of the royal capital.
Why are you suddenly barking like a gnoll?
No I’m not barking I’m telling the real truth…
Of course you may ask why the exam period can be classified as a big event but in some ways this can be seen as being in a similar context to the war game that took place the day before.
“Do you know when the debate will be held?”
“I’m going to watch a polo match for the first time in a while! Does it also overlap with the tennis match?”
“Well I guess I’ll just wait for cricket…”
“Why that boring cricket? I would have rather watched the yacht ‘test’…”
“Cricket has its own charm!”
“It’s serious…”
Due to the Royal Academy’s nature of emphasizing a combination of civil affairs and military affairs more than 90% of cadets had to take sports subjects as a required liberal arts subject.
Is it true that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body?
It’s something you’ve probably heard a lot…
In any case the important thing is that in order to achieve both civil and military skills cadets had to show excellent performance not only in written exams but also in sports.
This means that even if you don’t do well you have to be average.
However for the cadets it was a desperate test to get a good grade but for the commoners it was just a rare opportunity to watch high-quality leisure sports.
Yes funny enough the academy was open during exam periods such as midterm evaluations.
As with war games public participation is permitted.
It is said that the purpose of the opening is to promote the level of the cadets to the general public and to show authority but it is widely believed that it is actually for the nobles to show their superiority.
Still watching these sports is a great entertainment for the people.
No matter the era there is nothing that penetrates the psychology of the crowd and harmonizes it better than sports.
···I thought that perhaps someone who knew the psychology of this crowd had intentionally included sports subjects·
To gather the hearts of the people…
However even sports such a huge event are just a side note.
The biggest event that the intellectuals and ruling class of this country look forward to is none other than…
“Who came up with the idea of replacing written exams with discussions and presentations?”
Discussion sessions exhibitions presentations etc. can be said to be the greatest evaluation subjects for evaluating cadets’ grades.
It was terrible…
If you go into law military studies literature and arts the discussion should last at least 100 minutes.
For 100 minutes you must listen to terms learned in class and examples from case papers.
Evaluation criteria are given to professors and other prominent scholars who have received formal invitations and if you do not show a strong impression and intellectuality during the discussion your score will be deducted immediately.
The same goes for the rest of the exhibitions and presentations.
Experts and professors from each field gather to evaluate everything.
As with the debate how professional and thorough the preparation is.
Also it is important to know how much knowledge you have acquired how to respond to sudden situations including questions etc.
I thought it was more of a ‘practical test’ than a test.
In these feelings…
“What the academy no the kingdom wants is not just talent with good test scores but excellent talent who can be put to good use in real life. After all isn’t studying just a common thing that gets good grades as long as you memorize and understand well? Therefore the Academy carefully examines how well the cadets respond and make judgments on a large stage such as a debate forum and how well they have made the academic knowledge they have learned into their own. And thanks to these tests the Academy always puts out high-quality talent into the world. ”
“····”
“Why do you look at me like that?”
“I thought it was an unlucky statement…”
“Yes?”
Damien Follett tilted his head wondering what strange remark he had made.
I just said something obvious so what’s strange?
Despite his appearance Damien Follett was a bright kid and Lee Han thought that even Sky was indifferent.
Why is a guy with such a personality so versatile?
‘Then the guy who can’t even memorize is a goldfish?’
How difficult is it to demonstrate that memorization and understanding? Should I express it in words?
Lee Han wanted to turn on this guy right away but he held back…
Because I can’t let the person who asked me to do the work disappear…
‘Still it’s good in practice…’
If I admit it I can see how serious this country is about nurturing talented people.
Willingness to graduate only talented individuals in a practical manner
Isn’t this the so-called mecca of early education for talented people?
‘If I had gone here I think I would have quit right away…’
I don’t know about anything else but it wasn’t his place to handle debates presentations etc.
“Do you mean each student has to do at least five discussions and presentations?”
“It’s not unconditional but if you don’t have the confidence to show your best side it’s best to fill yourself with sheep.”
“But if you don’t show above average performance you will be expelled.”
“Those who cannot properly answer the questions of professors and intellectuals rather than the debate itself will be immediately eliminated. So those who lack regular study will be at a disadvantage.”
“Are you okay?”
“Nobles often enroll in academies after having already studied the expected questions and discussion topics that will be asked in advance through a tutor so they are relatively able to afford it.”
“Wow somehow…”
All of the noble ladies had a reason to be more passionate about sports than preparing for debates or presentations.
Since they have already received early education through a tutor there is less to worry about.
So focus only on subjects you are weak in.
“Smart things…”
“Noble noble ladies are like that. They look neat and innocent on the outside but they are no different from foxes.”
“I’ll pass that on to the chicks…”
“!!?”
“It’s a joke…”
“My heart trembled because I thought the instructor would really do this.”
“I’m going to kill you…”
“···It’s not a big deal…”
Ignoring Damian whose expression was once frowning Lee Han began to understand why there were so many students expelled from the academy.
It is surprising that only 10% of students graduate after taking these exams.
“···huh?”
While checking the grueling exam schedule Lee Han couldn’t believe his eyes…
I think I saw something strange…
“What is this? “Why are you like this?”
“What do you mean?”
“No the last day of the exam…”
Examinations held for almost two weeks…
However there are no tests of any kind on the last day.
entirely·
“Why is the swordsmanship department exam like the main exam?”
Department of Swordsmanship Exam·
The test was written on the schedule as if it were the finale and Lee Han blinked.
But Damian seemed to take it for granted…
“Isn’t it obvious? In fact the biggest attraction is not the exam schedule…”
“Did you say it was something to see now?”
“It’s a mistake… Look at that! “Isn’t the information late because the instructor left the schedule to me and didn’t check it himself?”
“Where are you nagging?”
Bah!
“Aaaahhh!”
How dare you criticize the topic of slaves and training assistants…
Still no haircut…
Lee Han read the schedule and plan carefully paying attention to the teaching assistant who was clutching the back of his head and writhing in pain.
To find out why the swordsmanship exam is the finale…
And after a while…
“···This is why many people drop out…”
It was absurd and I thought I knew why the commoner cadets from the swordsmanship department were dropping out one after another.
Because this was a test that a commoner who had not learned speculation would never pass…
[Solo battle with ‘Troll’]·
The so-called subjugation of monsters…
But…
“···Why do I feel uncomfortable?”
The bitterness felt in the content of a troll who feels ‘friendly’ being subjugated.
Lee Han didn’t know why he felt friendly towards the troll and tilted his head with a strange look.
