11. Excited and hard.
11. Excited and hard.
It had already been four months since she entered the training camp.
The close-quarters combat instructor didn't spare praise for Alisa, whose skills had visibly improved in just a month. Even by the data, her overall stats had risen by nearly 20% compared to before, which was truly a remarkable development.
She, too, hadn't expected her skills to improve this much in just a month. ...It was an undeniable fact that it was because of the special training with that damn bastard.
Although Kal was a dog-like bastard who spewed vulgar and lewd talk every time he opened his mouth, his skill alone was truly amazing. It was even mysterious how he could pinpoint exactly what she was lacking and help her compensate for it.
If only I had even a fraction of his talent....
But what was the point of holding onto regrets for what I didn't have? I had no choice but to be satisfied with what I was given and do my best.
Anyway, the secret special training between Alisa and Kal had been going on for over a month and a half. Of course, while her combat skills had improved overall, she still had never landed a proper hit on him. She was always beaten to a pulp until she was half-dead, and her head was always getting smashed.
However, since she had died so many times, she was now numb even when she was toyed with and died. Even when he spewed vulgar words, she just brushed it off as "he's that kind of bastard anyway," and didn't think much of it. ...I guess that's why habits are scary.
And soon, the graduation date was only a month away.
Since regular education was almost finished, it was time for the cadets to carefully consider the specialty fields they would major in. The training camp also had time where members from various units came one by one to boast about their own units based on specialties.
However, since this was the notorious Hell-Lugal training camp, the enthusiasm of the unit members who came to promote seemed a bit low. It meant they didn't really want to put these delinquents into their units.
Of course, Alisa didn't care what the guys who came to promote were blabbering about. Because her goal was only to be a knight.
However, a knight had never visited this training camp on the outskirts of a prison planet to promote. So she didn't even expect that either. Actually, it was funny that a knight would come to a place like this to promote.
Then one day.
During evening free time, as soon as the gossip-monger Eri entered the [Dormitory], she shouted, "Breaking newsㅡ!" The eyes of the team members who were lazing around turned to her. Except for the team leader Alisa, who was meditating.
"Fuck, it's a really fucking huge breaking news. Wow, you'll piss your pants when you hear it. Especially the team leaderㅡ!"
At the word 'team leader,' Alisa quietly opened her eyes.
Everyone urged her to speak quickly with curious expressions. Eri giggled and stuck close to the team leader.
"Team leader, don't piss your pants in surprise."
"...What is it?"
"It's a huge big news, big news."
As she dragged it out, a buzz-cut female comrade snorted.
"Seeing her act like that, it's nothing special."
"Hehehe, you think so?"
"Ah, fuck, don't tease, just say it quickly."
Eri giggled, then wiped the smile off her face and put on a serious expression.
"Do you know who... is coming to the training camp for promotion next week?"
"Who? The person who wants to come to this shithole."
"It must be a rookie from some famous unit. You know, like that. The kind that works you to the bone. It looks like that."
Actually, Alisa wasn't looking forward to it at all either. Just as the team members said, it was obvious.
"You bitches, if you don't get surprised, I'll really kill myself."
"Yeah, we won't be surprised. Just go kill yourself."
"Ah, just say it quickly."
The buzz-cut bitch gave the finger and grinned. That insult about being a bastard without parents on Earth was popular across the universe.
Eri, who had been getting an earful of insults about her parents, hesitated for a long time and then shouted loudly for all to see.
"The Knights are comingㅡ!"
The Knightsㅡ!
However, Alisa wasn't very surprised. Knights were people she saw often, and it was obvious that the Knights coming here wouldn't be high-level ones.
"Fuck, just die. Making a fuss over something so obvious."
The other team members were also indifferent. It was certainly a bit interesting that the Knights were coming, but it wasn't something to make such a fuss about. Weren't the Knights and them a combination that was far apart anyway? At most, only Alisa was interested.
"Ah, fuck, I'm not done yet. ...Hehehe, do you know which Knights it is?"
"Ah, just say it quickly and go die. It's so obvious."
"Fuck, just try being surprised."
The chatterbox Eri jumped up and pointed at the team members with a confident expression.
"The Solar Knights are coming hereㅡ!"
...Alisa almost pissed her pants for real.
· · ·
At first, everyone thought it was a false rumor. Because it didn't make sense that such an incredible existence would come to a shithole training camp like this. ...However, surprisingly, it was true that the Solar Knights were visiting the training camp.
The Commandant made all sorts of fuss, making the training camp shine from a few days ago as if to confirm the kill. Because of that, the trainees had been working their asses off cleaning from the morning. The instructors and assistants were also busy as hell fixing the shabby facilities.
The empire's best Knights, who serve the Emperor right by his side.
That alone could explain all of the Commandant's actions. They were superiors so unimaginably high that it was hard for the Commandant to even imagine, possessing a reputation that could even shoot down a flying bird. Since such a person was visiting, how could he dare to treat them carelesslyㅡ!
The Commandant made sure to polish the training camp with all his heart and soul. It wasn't just the Commandant; the planet headquarters was also in an uproar. It was natural since a superior much higher than the headquarters chief was scheduled to appear.
After confirming that the rumor about the Solar Knights coming was true, Alisa's mind became a flower garden.
Ahㅡㅡ.
To her, who passionately longed to be a knight, the Solar Knights were nothing short of a god-like idol. She never dared to imagine that she would face the moment, which would be an honor for the rest of her life just by seeing them once, here! Because of this one thing, she considered choosing this training camp as the luckiest event of her life.
If only she could talk to them just once, just once...!
Alisa was willing to give everything she had if that could be possible. So, for the first time in the training camp, she contacted her father. Asking if he could use his influence.
He was just a special sergeant in the Hell-Lugal transport unit, so it wasn't a level where he could use his influence. It was barely at the level where even the planet headquarters chief might struggle.
Alisa quickly accepted that this was natural. It might be rude to call her father 'just,' but for a mere special sergeant to make such a request was more than a discourtesy; it was insolence.
She would just have to watch from afar, but she was still happy. She was so, so happy that she had a smile on her face every single day.
She was even in a good mood when she heard Kal's lewd words in the simulation, so that said it all.
"Are you that happy?"
"Then of course I'm happy. It would be strange not to beㅡ! The Solar Knights are almost god-like beings to people who dream of becoming knights. How can I not be excited when I'm going to meet such people?"
"Is that so?"
Kal snorted chicly.
"Doesn't seem like much."
"A bastard like you obviously wouldn't know. Because you've never seen them. ...You'd probably piss your pants just by seeing their faces?"
Kal, who was laughing mischievously, suddenly sparkled his eyes as if he had a good idea.
"Should I let you meet them separately?"
"Ha, what kind of bullshit..."
"If I let you meet them, will you suck my dick deliciously? Huh? Hehehe."
Haㅡ.
Alisa snorted because it was pathetic. She felt that the act of saying such lewd things about them was like a blasphemy.
"Don't blaspheme them. I warned you."
When she warned him with truly fierce eyes, he quickly backed off.
"Alright, alright. You're sensitive. Hehehe."
She found his laughter very annoying. It felt like the ones she respected were being mocked by this guy.
"Just do it quickly."
"Our pretty, you must be so excited that you're fully erect because the knight is coming."
"Don't blaspheme them, you dog bastardㅡ!!"
Alisa, who worshipped the Solar Knights, rushed at him to protect them. She swung her sword more frantically than usual. However, no matter how much she struggled, her cutting sword couldn't even touch the hem of Kal's suit.
"Can you protect those guys with just this much? Try harder. ...Otherwise, I'll seduce a female knight and fuck her?"
"Shut uuuuupㅡ!!!"
It was truly terrible just to imagine it. A female knight of the Solar Knights being fucked by this dog-like bastard's dickㅡ!
Alisa hated herself even for having such an imagination. What kind of group are the Solar Knights, how could they be done in by such a shitty bastardㅡ!
Still, she couldn't control her surging anger. She wanted to kill him for insulting them.
"Uwaaaaaaㅡ!!"
Of course, it was her who got killed.
