Chapter 10

One hour had passed since the children started running around the gymnasium.

Burren and Runaan were still running at the front, and the collaterals, vassal children, and recommended children were neck-in-neck behind them.

Of course, not all one hundred sixty of them were running anymore.

Those who lacked stamina had already given up and were resting in a corner, and the number of quitters kept increasing even now.

"Haaaah."

Rimmer's eyes quickly moved left and right, despite lying down on the platform and yawning.

'The sixty-first guy gave up earlier than his stamina could last, and the sixty-second one lasted longer.'

He was grasping all one hundred sixty children at a glance with sleepy eyes.

However, stamina wasn't the only thing Rimmer was analyzing.

'There is no point in just checking their stamina.'

How much stamina children had depended on how they grew up. Honestly, they were all similar except for the two direct lines and the roughly twenty best children.

Even if their stamina was similar, some children gave up as soon as they were out of breath, and some kept running until the end, while their sides pinched or they cried.

'That difference is the most important thing here.'

Just like there were people who gave up easily, there are also people who never gave up. That difference in willpower that looked small at present would grow to be tremendous in the future.

Stamina could be increased, and talents could be nurtured.

However, it was extremely difficult to develop perseverance.

Children who never gave up wouldn't give up in the future either, and children who gave up easily would grow up to be adults who did the same.

Of course, there were exceptions, as some would realize and change their way. However, that was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Looking for a child who already had the perseverance and the willpower was the easiest way.

'This is pretty much set in stone now.'

Rimmer smiled. Over half of the children had already given up, and the rest were getting slower as they tired.

As Rimmer was preparing to end the exam, the golden-haired child running in the back group crossed his sight.

'Raon Zieghart.'

He was the only child who had exceeded his expectations. Rimmer's eyes shone like stars.

'I don't understand it.'

Raon had run out of stamina a long time ago. He shouldn't have been able to stand, because of the ice pressing upon his body and shortening his breath. However, he kept moving his feet relentlessly, without breaking his posture.

'This can't even be called perseverance anymore. This is obstinacy.'

He had seen many brilliant talents, throughout countless battlefields.

Among them, there were swordsmen who would stand at the top of the continent with their swords, and magicians who would change the standard of the world with their magic. But none of them had as much persistence as Raon.
