Chapter 63

"Why do you think you lost?"

The trainees couldn't answer Raon's quiet question.

"Might? Numbers? Decision making? None of those are the right answer. It's true that they have the numbers, but we are superior in terms of might and combat experience. Such a one-sided defeat wasn't supposed to happen, yet it did. Why do you think you lost?"

"...Because of the information?"

Burren slowly opened his mouth.

"That's correct."

Raon nodded at Burren.

"The sixth training ground fully understood the personalities and might of each of our members. They devised a strategy to counter each of us, using the Northern Grave Mountain's geography. However, we didn't prepare anything, thinking that we were obviously going to win."

"B-but the time..."

"We didn't have much time, but the same goes for them. Honestly, one day is enough time to obtain the minimum information necessary for the fight. That's why Instructor Rimmer purposefully informed us one day before, so that we could get some practice."

Raon snorted, glancing at the trainees.

"And you didn't give up on it because you were out of time, but because you were too careless, thinking you could easily win. Lack of time isn't an excuse."

"Ugh!"

"Th-that's..."

The trainees couldn't refute that, so they just bit their lips.

"Even though the fifth training ground trainees are stronger than them individually, the difference isn't overwhelming. Losing to the sixth training ground, who was prepared, is a natural outcome."

"Then what shall we do? Isn't everything over...?"

"Nothing's over! Shut your mouth!"

"Huff!"

Martha frowned and Dorian, hands trembling, zipped his mouth.

"Well, there were casualties, and we've lost a lot of stamina and aura. We are indeed at a disadvantage. However..."

Raon's eyes glowed, looking at the location where the sixth training ground's trainees must be preparing for their attack.

"They aren't the only ones that have information."

"Do you know anything about this?"

"The top trainee of the sixth training ground, Kein Zieghart, is the one who has been giving the instructions. He was the one who sent people in that can counter you guys."

"Kein Zieghart? How did he do that?"

Martha ground her teeth.

"Kein Zieghart has an excellent sight and perception. He perceived the direction of your movement from afar and sent trainees that you'd have difficulties dealing with."

"Kuh! Kein Zieghart."

Burren groaned at his pride being trampled.

"He sent swordsmen that were proficient in defense to Martha, who is straightforward with an excellent strength and endurance, in order to exhaust your aura. He sent swordsmen that have learned the 'Intuition Sword' to Burren, who uses honest and systematic swordsmanship, so that you couldn't do much against them."
