The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 376
Raon smiled as he looked at the box left by Chad of the Biyeon Assembly.
- What is that? ‘A gift sent from the Beast Alliance.’
The box contained the Four Clouds Pills sent by Beast King Ogram. After losing the bet with Glenn, he said he would send the medicinal pill, and now it had arrived at the family.
“Then I'll open it.”
Chad unlocked the lock on the thick box with a wooden-looking brown key. He stepped back as if to let Raon open the lid himself.
“Thank you.”
Raon bowed to Chad and opened the heavy box. At the top was a letter scribbled in rough handwriting.
[The promise was kept.]
It was a simple letter that showed Ogram had sent it. Without even a hint of embarrassment after sending over thirty Four Clouds Pills, one couldn't fathom how big his heart was.
After putting away the letter, Raon looked inside the box. There were dozens of small wooden boxes, each the size of a fist, and the inside was protected by a cotton-like soft material softer than cotton.
Unlike the simple letter, it seemed they had gone to great lengths to send it.
“It's the Four Clouds Pills.”
Chad smiled as he looked at the wooden boxes in the box.
“Yes. It seems the Beast King has not forgotten the bet and sent them.”
“The Beast Alliance is simple, whether good or bad. People who keep promises no matter what.”
As Chad said, the warriors of the Beast Alliance hate lies and cowardice. Of course, they believed it would be sent.
‘Thirty-five in total.’
Counting the Four Clouds Pills in the box, there were thirty-five, the same number as the Light Wind Squad members.
‘He said he wouldn't send them, but he sent them properly.’
When Raon was in Owen, he received one first, so thirty-four should have come, but he asked Ogram for thirty-five because there was one more person in the Light Wind Squad.
He was worried that he would refuse, but contrary to his words, he sent one more.
“With so many Four Clouds Pills, it's a connection that money can't buy.”
“Indeed.”
Raon nodded. The Four Clouds Pills not only increase aura but also create a physique suitable for using the martial arts one has learned.
It was not a medicinal pill to be boasted by the Beast Alliance for nothing.
“Thank you for bringing this heavy thing all the way here.”
Raon stood up and bowed to Chad.
“Ah, no.”
Chad waved his hand as if it was nothing.
“I just wanted to quickly deliver the good news.”
He smiled, saying it was fortunate that you liked it.
“I hope to hear good news soon.”
Chad bowed politely and turned his body without any lingering attachment, descending the Bukmang Mountain.
After descending to the middle of the mountain, he clenched his fist.
“Done.”
He had left a good impression on Raon again this time. It was worth it to have come all the way here alone carrying that heavy box without joining the other agents.
‘As I thought, my eyes are accurate.’
Raon had not only defeated all the Continental Twelve Stars in the Six Kings duel in Owen Kingdom but also obtained the cooperation of the Sepia Merchant Guild.
Although still young, he was a person who would rise higher than anyone on this continent.
‘And most importantly…’
He didn't like those four.
Glenn, the real power behind Zieghart, Sheryl, Roen, and even Rimer who was a bit late. The person supported by all of them is Raon.
The future of Zieghart was clearly focused on Raon.
‘It was fortunate that I showed him a good impression early on so that he wouldn't make a big fuss.’
The friendship built so far will be a great help in the future.
‘This is real social life, and I won't back down.’
Chad smiled wickedly and descended Bukmang Mountain with feather-light steps.
* * *
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the forest where Chad had left.
“What did he mean by expecting to hear good news?”
Whether he meant expecting the Light Wind Squad to grow stronger by eating this medicinal pill or expecting another great feat, he wasn't sure.
But it wasn't just the words; Chad's actions themselves were strange.
‘Is that person not normal?’
-That's right.
Wrath nodded with lowered eyebrows.
-The leader of the information group bringing this box alone is already suspicious.‘That's right.’
Chad has reliable subordinates. He could have sent them or had them carry the box, but bringing this heavy thing alone was odd.
‘It wasn't just to show off.’
There must be some scheme.
If this was his first life, he could have overlooked Chad's kindness, but since the previous life was so harsh, he could tell that there was another scheme.
‘I have to be cautious from now on.’
He moved Chad up a bit in the list of people to watch and examined the Four Clouds Pills in the box. All thirty-five were genuine with no defects.
‘Perfect.’
Raon closed the lid of the box and headed to the edge of the cliff.
While talking to Chad and checking the Four Clouds Pills, the Light Wind Squad members had already come near the top of the cliff.
“That demon bastard has to be chopped here! He doesn't give us the title of squad leader!”
Rimer, who had fallen to the bottom, was climbing the cliff from the top.
“I’ll hang on the crossbar!”
Marta jumped up with eyes sharp like blades.
“Alright! I'll take the neck!”
The two were discussing how to remove Raon after their swords clashed.
“Everyone's gone crazy…”
Burren shook his head while crawling up the cliff at a speed not inferior to Marta.
“Hmph.”
Runaan, or rather, she was like a sloth, slowly climbing the cliff while swaying.
“Kill!”
“Absolutely death!”
“Come on!”
“I can't live like this!”
The killing intent of the Light Wind Squad members pierced the skin with form. They seemed to want to swing their swords the moment they reached here.
‘They've climbed a lot.’
Because they dragged it out too long, it seemed they couldn't all be knocked down with just wooden sticks.
-No matter how much you are, knocking down all with wooden sticks is impossible.
Wrath laughed as he looked at the inspectors climbing up.
-This training will end here.
He shook his finger as if regretting it.
-You won't swing the sword like you lost your ears, right? Schemingly?
‘Of course not.’
Raon shook his head. Since Rimer had cheated, he had taken out the sword, but he had no intention of using it again.
-Then it's over….
‘But there is a way.’
-There is a way? They have already climbed up?
‘Of course.’
Raon grabbed the box with the medicinal pill and stood at the edge of the cliff. Smiling as he looked at the Light Wind Squad members climbing up with killing intent.
‘If the board is disadvantageous, break the board.’
He jumped off the cliff holding the box as is.
“The cliff climbing training is over. Come down quickly.”
As he descended, he gave a chin tilt to the Light Wind Squad members stuck to the cliff.
-What?
-Since the training supervisor is me. The end is up to me.
It was a perfectly fine action since he was the highest decision maker in the Light Wind Squad training.
“Eh?”
“W, what suddenly?”
“We’ve all climbed up, what’s the end!”
“You damn kid! Where are you going!”
“Aaaaaak!”
Rimer and the Light Wind Squad members yelled in rage at Raon falling.
Thud!
Raon kicked off the cliff just before hitting the ground and landed softly on the floor.
-Youuuuuu are really….
Wrath opened his mouth wide, saying it's something even a demon wouldn't do. It was unbelievable.
Dokoe approached from the side and lowered his eyebrows.
“You acted like you'd train all day, but why did you come down already.”
“Because there was something more urgent.”
Raon smiled as he put down the box in his hand.
“What kind of box made you, a training fool like you, give up training?”
“Ah, this is…”
Just as he was about to explain the box, the Light Wind Squad members jumped down from the cliff and landed roughly on the ground.
“You bastard! What kind of thing is this! We said we had all climbed up!”
Rimer approached and grabbed his collar and shook him.
“I have to chop him today! I have to rush in and beat him!”
Even calm Burren was grinding his teeth because he was angry.
“Exactly.”
Marta had already prepared her fists, clenching them.
“……”
Runaan was still stuck to the cliff because she hadn't seen the situation while sleeping.
“Really, he's capricious…”
“Are you a tyrant!”
“Why did you suddenly stop training!”
Dorian squeaked, saying he couldn't bear it anymore. Other Light Wind Squad members also frowned and complained.
“Yeah. Yeah.”
Raon sat on the box and listened to all the tantrums of the Light Wind Squad members.
“If you want my training that much, I have no choice. Continue training. Instead…”
With a smile full of joy, he opened the box.
“I’ll take care of all these Four Clouds Pills.”
“Hic!”
“S, Four Clouds Pills?”
“Is it the one I bet with the Beast King in Owen Kingdom?”
“It’s finally here!”
The Light Wind Squad members ran over with eyes blazing like fire.
“Eh!”
Raon shouted like scolding a puppy and closed the box.
“You wanted to continue cliff climbing training.”
“Hic!”
“Hup!”
The Light Wind Squad members who had been yelling a moment ago all closed their mouths.
“That scheming bastard…”
“How does it get more and more crazy as it goes?”
Burren and Marta hardened their expressions, saying the person is getting more evil.
“Th, the medicinal pill…”
“It’s also Four Clouds Pills.”
“But pride…”
The Light Wind Squad members, who had been making a fuss a moment ago, couldn't say the word ‘medicinal pill’ and hesitated.
Especially since the reason they got the Four Clouds Pills was because Raon won the Six Kings duel master level, they had nothing to say.
“Hmph! Anyway, I won't have any medicinal pills.”
Rimer frowned and grabbed the sword hanging at his waist.
“I’ll just chop that guy here…”
“It’s there?”
Raon pointed to the box with the Four Clouds Pills while Rimer was trying to draw his sword.
“I asked the Beast King Alliance Leader to definitely take care of the squad leader too, saying it's the Light Wind Squad.”
“R, really?”
“Have you seen me lying with such things?”
There were 35 Four Clouds Pills in the box. Of course, Rimer had one too.
“Raon Vice Squad Leader!”
When Rimer heard that he had his own medicinal pill, he ran forward and rubbed his hands like a fly. His voice changed from soft to melodious.
“I have always respected Vice Squad Leader! The appearance of demanding from the Beast King Alliance Leader and the consideration for this incompetent squad leader! I will devote myself to loyalty from now on!”
He bent his waist ninety degrees as if he had become a subordinate.
“You weaklings! Because of you weaklings, how much has our vice squad leader suffered! Come and apologize right now!”
He started scolding the Light Wind Squad as if he had become Raon's spokesman.
“V, vice squad leader!”
The quick-witted Crane was the first to come forward and kneel.
“I will do anything the squad leader asks. Even if you tell me to die, I will follow!”
Crane, who had been hit the most and fallen among the Light Wind Squad, was the first to bow his head. As expected, a quick-witted guy.
When the Crane who suffered the most from Rimer bowed his head, the other Light Wind Squad members also jumped out and knelt in competition.
“Vice squad leader! I love you!”
“I will follow for life!”
“Raon! Raon! Raon!”
“The light and salt of the Light Wind Squad!”
From the mouths of the Light Wind Squad who had been cursing just a moment ago, Raon's praises and cheers poured out endlessly.
“Hm?”
Runaan, who had just come down from the cliff, looked around blankly.
“Jonjal. Jonjal.”
Runaan, who didn't know anything, stuck next to the Light Wind Squad and shouted jonjal. Now the only ones left were Burren and Marta.
“That kid was probably a loan shark in his previous life or a real demon.”
Marta gritted her teeth watching Raon enjoying the praises of the Light Wind Squad as if she were the sect leader.
“Even if he was a loan shark, it's time to borrow money now.”
Burren bit his lip and approached Raon.
“It's selling pride!”
“You don't see the squad leader crawling? That's adult adaptability! When you bend, you have to bend!”
“Ah…”
“You have to become strong even if you sell your pride. So that you never see such a sight again!”
He pushed away the protesting Marta and bowed his head in front of Raon.
“I am grateful for the grace like the sea of the vice squad leader!”
“Three zhang also came.”
Raon smiled brightly and accepted Burren's greeting. His gaze finally turned to the remaining Marta.
Gooooooooo!
Following Raon's gaze, the Light Wind Squad members also turned their heads. More than sixty bloodshot eyes pressed down on Marta.
“Ugh…”
Marta, unable to overcome the eyes of the members who had started feeling like comrades, approached like a zombie, swaying.
“J, Jonjal Raon…”
She muttered the same words next to Runaan.
In the end, all the Light Wind Squad members surrendered, and the cliff training ended.
Raon sat on the box with legs crossed, smiling at the Light Wind Squad.
‘See? This is how you break the board and make a new board.’
-Hmm….
Wrath trembled with his mouth agape in shock.
-This is the Demon King Advent….*
* * *
After returning to the 5th Training Ground, Raon distributed the Four Clouds Pills to the Light Wind Squad inspectors. After Rimer last, all received the Four Clouds Pills, and the Light Wind Squad members' eyes sparkled like puppies seeing food.
“This is the Four Clouds Pill.”
Rimer opened the wooden box and smelled the scent of the Four Clouds Pills, trembling all over.
“Take it immediately. If it's a medicinal pill of this level, you can do cultivation until tomorrow.”
Burren swallowed dryly while holding the wooden box tightly.
“Yeah. No need to drag it out.”
Marta agreed and opened the door to the cultivation chamber.
“Impatience is poison when eating medicinal pills and doing cultivation.”
Dokoe frowned with lowered eyebrows blocking the entrance to the cultivation chamber.
“Especially strong medicinal pills like Four Clouds Pills require calming the mind.”
He gave sincere advice to the Light Wind Squad, as he had gotten close to them.
“I and that demon guy will be the guardians. Finish the cultivation calmly…”
“No need for that.”
Raon cut off Dokoe's words and approached him. He handed over the last wooden box in his hand with a smile.
“Chief Manager also has to do cultivation.”
“What? This is your…”
“No. It's the chief manager's.”
“What crazy talk are you saying!”
Dokoe opened his mouth wide, asking why he was saying nonsense.
“I ate it when I was in Owen Kingdom. If I eat the same medicinal pill, the effect is halved. If I eat it, it won't even be a mid-level Four Clouds Pill. The chief manager is right. I asked for thirty-five for that reason.”
After revealing the truth, he handed the Four Clouds Pill to Dokoe.
“Hmm…”
Dokoe received the wooden box with the Four Clouds Pill with a complicated expression.
“I really don't know which one is your real appearance.”
He tilted his head, wondering if the demon he showed earlier was real or the consideration he showed now was real.
“Both are true.”
Raon lightly smiled and pushed Dokoe's back.
“Take some rest after a long time.”
“H, but…”
“You’ve suffered a lot.”
Dokoe had been forcibly taken in, and despite having a much higher age and position, he faithfully helped with the Light Wind Squad's training. Since he knew his sincerity, one Four Clouds Pill was not at all precious.
“It’s better for the young ones to eat two rather than me, an old man…”
Contrary to his words, Dokoe clenched the wooden box with the Four Clouds Pill tightly.
“Ah, old man, you're going to eat it anyway, annoying. Then give it to me. I'll eat two…”
“Ugh!”
“Get out!”
He kicked Rimer's stomach, who was poking his finger.
Slap!
Raon clapped his hands and looked at all the Light Wind Squad members.
“I and Mark Gyeotun will guard here. All of you finish the cultivation calmly and come out.”
As he gave the order, all the Light Wind Squad members stood in front of the cultivation chamber. They bowed to Raon before entering.
“Thank you!”
All expressed their sincere gratitude and entered the cultivation chamber.
“Raon.”
Rimer stood in front of the cultivation chamber door, smiling.
“You did well.”
“Hm?”
“You took care of that old man too.”
He pointed to Dokoe who had entered the cultivation chamber.
“Originally, taking care of the person who helps from behind is not easy. You will be a good leader. I guarantee it.”
“I don't believe the gambler's guarantee much.”
“I stopped gambling!”
“Yesterday, I heard you went…”
“I’m going!”
Rimer quickly waved his hand and entered the cultivation chamber.
Raon confirmed that a powerful mana flow was moving in all the cultivation chambers and turned around. Mark Gyeotun was standing in the center of the training ground in proper posture.
“I’m sorry there was no medicinal pill. At that time, there was no Mark Gyeotun.”
“It’s okay.”
Mark Gyeotun shook his head, saying it was natural.
“Instead, there is another gift.”
He opened the subspace pouch he borrowed from Dorian and took out the black saber he got from Glenn and handed it over.
“I can’t let my successor use a humble sword. Use this from now on.”
“This, this isn't a normal sword…”
Mark Gyeotun trembled as he looked at the black saber's blade.
“I haven’t done anything yet, so I can’t receive such a precious thing!”
He knew the value of the black saber as a master-level warrior and shook his head.
“I’m not just giving it.”
He took out two martial arts books obtained this time from the pouch.
“I’m giving it as compensation for helping my training. You don't have to feel burdened.”
“If it’s training…”
“They will come out after they get strong.”
Raon smiled as he looked at the cultivation chamber where the Light Wind Squad members had entered.
“We have to get strong too during this time.”
