Chapter 4 Episode 17

Editor:Starbuck11, Kev

Silence doround

Only his own faint breath entered Kevin's ears

The training ground’s space was around 100 meters And nobles and military officers surrounded the place

There was nothing such as spectator seats like the ancient Roround with stones surrounding it for the people to sit on it

(This is huge It would be disadvantageous if we face them head on)

Such thought appeared inside Kevin's50 meters away from him

The battle to see through each other fighting potential had begun

The infamous sentence from the book of the art of war 'Understand the enemy and yourself, and in a hundred battles you will never be in peril', it was never an exaggeration to call that sentence as true

Since it was important for a person totoward a battle

And such attitude was the first thing Ryouht the children

As usual, Kevin observed the five knights in front of him for information

Apart froht that was al knights

Froth, the outcome was already obvious

Even with a weapon in hand

The knights had heavy steel ar their whole body, even their face The weapons they held were 3spears

On the other hand, Kevin and the others were only being protected by leather armors and wooden shi+elds that had been reinforced with steel

Of course, the leather ar the monsters material they obtained from inside the peninsula was not inferior co on maneuverability, the overall defensive poas lower compared to the whole body steel armors

It was a good choice if they thought that they were about to fight within the Zalda Kingdom which was famous for its eous to use such arhtforward match

Because of the tension, Kevin's lips felt dry

His heart beated fast, and he felt chill on his skin

Such feeling was known as fear

It was a feeling that people usually felt and tried to suppress when they were about to fight

After rasped his favorite iron shile turning his eyes toward the comrades around him who also showed the same expressions as him

(Everyone feels the sauess that is understandable This is only our second time after all)

Fear when facing an actual battle where people risked their life

The fear that theyother people lives, such feelings invaded Kevin and the others' hearts

It was the fear that he even felt when they perforation of the pirates, despite the e

However, Kevin understood that he could change his fear into power if he didn't try to deny it

Fear was not weakness, if one were able to understand the fear inside one's heart, such fear can become power

Several ation

Kevin also had survived the fights against monsters within the wortenia peninsula

For hi of fear he was familiar as a friend, and a weapon to survive

(Don't think anything useless We're the ones in a weaker position, if we hesitate, ill die)

Although formally it was just a friendly erous battle where the participants bet their lives

The term of victory or defeat was decided when the opponents died, loses consciousness or the referee judged that the battle was over

There was no point system or round syste knocked out or knocking out the enemy

If one were to coth in nuhts would be 100 while Kevin and the others would be around 70

Kevin was definitely disadvantaged

However, winning or losing was not being deterth alone

(We just have to do the same as usual Just like the instructors said, we just have to fight To survive together with my comrades)

Living on the wortenia peninsula had forged Kevin's and his comrades' body into a beast

What Kevin needed to do was to use that body efficiently

”Just like usual”

Kevin muttered those words in a small voice, and the comrades around him nodded their head silently

The fear he had and the urge to kill started to spread inside his heart

The Prana inside of their body began to circulateextra power

Along with that, their fighting spirit also began to increase

”Start!”

The old man referee broke the silence

”Leon and Rina you guys attack froo fro!”

After being recognized as soldiers, the children had been assigned into a five men unit

Several months had passed since then They had perforether and repeated it many times over

The ed froht and left at full speed

Although they ory of human ability

With four people charging froht

Melissa alone was standing in the center facing the knights

”What's this? I guess they are just brats huh? Dispersing like this, are they trying to throay the match?”

Onehis nose

The Knights thought that even if they charged immediately, in the end, their opponents were still children

Besides, they were all wearing leather armors

Froht the winner and loser had already been decided

Or at least, ht like that

With such situation, the knights thought the children will gather up in one place and performed a defensive battle

”Oi, the leader said we should not go easy on theo and finish this as fast as possible”

Following the platoon leader’s words, the other Knights nodded their head

Since it was an order, they did not have totheir opponents

Although they never thought offun

(At least, I should not make all of you suffer)

It hts true feelings

The knights grasped their spear while observing the childrencloser to them

They have no intention of using the ic arts
