168 – Welcome to John Nassen Chicks

“From here on, Baron John Nassen.”

Old man Neil, who was walking in the lead, turns around and smiles.

He exclaimed at Ian, Nell, and even Tisha and looked around.

Looking forward to something great.

However, no matter how much you look, all you see is a quiet land and an endless forest.

It was quite far from the home of the overwhelming beings they imagined.

Nothing special. It is a quiet and secluded place just like the other Baronies.

“The expressions look like ‘It’s a bit different from what I imagined?’”

“It seems to me as well, little boy.”

Of course it’s a misunderstanding. Little is known about John Nassen.

I heard that most people in the Empire imagine a land made of steel.

It is said that it is a place greater than hell, where the weak cannot dare to set foot.

It is also said that people whose blades become dull even when stabbed with a spear are considered to be alive.

Unfortunately, the people of John Nassen also bruise and bleed when they are stabbed and cut.

If it was invincible, there wouldn’t have been any need for training in the first place.

However, it should be wielded by those with some level of skill, not the average level.

Doo-doo-doo-

At this time, something is rapidly approaching as a cloud of dust rises in the distance.

Looking at that, Nel and Tisha thought they were patrols roaming around the territory.

Those who rode horses and were lightly armed to prevent attacks by monsters.

“… To?”

“Huh?”

But the moment I saw the patrols appearing through the dust clouds.

The two women couldn’t hide their absurd expressions and had to exclaim.

“Little boy! Are you back?!”

“Yes. It’s vacation. I have to come home.”

First of all, judging by the fact that he is wearing a soldier’s uniform, he is a patrolman.

Yes, the patrol must be right. The horses they were supposed to ride were nowhere to be seen.

“I heard from the Baron, old man Neil. How was your trip to the Empire?”

“It was fun. I met the opponent I fought against when this body was still useful.”

“Oh! Please tell me more when you get back!”

“I am curious too! So you won?!”

“Heh heh heh. Look at this. Does winning or losing matter?”

Of course winning or losing isn’t important, is it? Ian thought.

I don’t know, once you’ve had sparring, shouldn’t you be proud of yourself once you win?

But the John Nassen patrols laughed along with old Neil and replied:

“Ha ha ha! No, old man!”

“Winning or losing is what matters! If it was a great duel, that’s enough!”

Maybe it was because the answer was unexpected. Ian sighed, “Ehh?”

This is John Nassen, who fought against the Empire without being pushed back at all.

Are these people saying that winning or losing is important?

If it didn’t matter, what did you fight for!

“Oops. Now, we will go do our work.”

“Yes. Make it hard.”

“Yes! Ah! Little bastard! I’m glad you’re back!”

“Me too. See you later. They are suffering.”

The two men disappear again raising a cloud of dust after a short conversation.

As expected, there are no words. It just runs on two legs. But the speed is insane.

If someone who doesn’t know anything sees it, it would be like riding a horse and galloping.

“I feel it every time I see it, it’s amazing.”

“That’s right. Cardio is a bit difficult for me too.”

Is that aerobic exercise? Is that?? How is that aerobic exercise?!

If you run like that, it’s a lung and a heart, and you think it’s going to explode?!

Ian, Nell, and even Tisha look back in amazement.

Doo-doo-doo-

The patrols have already become two dots and disappeared.

Compared to them, the aerobic activities they did are just at the level of toddlers.

I don’t even feel like I’m going to rest. I can’t even imagine going around like that.

After that, as we moved a little further, we encountered another group of soldiers.

“Welcome, little boy.”

“It’s been a while. How are you?”

“It’s the same. It’s so boring after the hunting festival is over.”

Muttered something that looked like a soldier guarding the street corner.

In the two hands of such a soldier was a baton, not a spear.

And on both ends were discs of appalling thickness.

“Biceps! Biceps!!”

In the background, another soldier is shouting loudly while doing barbell curls.

Its voice is so loud that it seems that the monster will get scared and run away.

“Are you going to draw lots for boundary work these days?”

“Yes. We’re doing it because we don’t like each other losing muscle.”

“I just need to decide the order. That would be fine.”

“Isn’t that fun? The lottery has a thrilling taste.”

Anyway, why do these people like heart racing so much?

If you fly to modern times and encounter extreme sports, you probably go crazy.

… Oh no. If he was sent to modern times, he might be taken for assault right away.

“Some people are seeing it for the first time.”

“I am a guest. My friends, to be exact.”

“Ah. Is that so? They are the little boy’s friends.”

The soldiers scan Ian, Nell, and Tisha all over the place behind them.

It is not the sticky gaze sent by bullies. These are the eyes of a beast looking for prey.

Those twinkling eyes would make even the average knight tremble.

“… Well. The man here is quite interesting.”

I’m trying hard to say that I want to fight.

Because Kyle knows that well hahahaha! She laughed and waved her hand.

“Later. First, say hello to your father.”

“Okay. Let’s be patient for now. The person next to you… Well. Kinda weird As for the female….”

The soldier who had been staring at Tisha for a while tilted her head.

He seems to be contemplating whether or not to let this in.

Those who don’t exercise can’t set foot in Jon Nassen.

This is their law that has been thoroughly followed since a long time ago.

In case of one violation, all John Nassen will be thoroughly judged.

“Little boy. This person here is a little on the edge.”

“Yes? Ah… Well, not too long ago. I have been teaching myself for several months.”

“Hmm.”

“But it doesn’t mean that you can’t see any signs of hard work, right?”

At Kyle’s words, the soldier nodded slowly.

It’s not overwhelmingly strong, but it’s definitely not a flat body either.

There are strong traces of very systematic and diligent management.

In addition, Kyle and Neil wouldn’t have brought someone who really didn’t make any effort.

“Ah. That’s why I brought you as a guest.”

As if clearly understood, the soldier suddenly smiled broadly.

It is not an overwhelming force. However, the one who came to become a strong person and made an effort.

At Jon Nassen, they are welcome too. You can come anytime.

In their eyes, Tisha seemed to be seen as such a guest.

‘Actually, that’s not the case.’

It feels like things are getting more and more twisted. After all, vacation is painful.

Would you have just stayed at the academy? No. If so, my brother and sister will come again.

And I’ll drag you right away. I was on vacation, but why are you not coming home?

‘… No, wait. Why can’t both of them be nobles?’

Did they say that even a tiger would come if I told them? As soon as I think about it, I feel two energies approaching me immediately.

This is clearly the momentum only Lear, Leah, and his older brother and sister possess.

These two people should be quietly working out at the big gym inside the castle.

But I’m just a little worried about why it’s suddenly coming this way so fast.

Have you not worked hard since your brother and sister left?

Or did you continue to eat late-night snacks and inhale irritating foods as before?

After much thought, Kyle came up with a fortunate result. Neither.

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t eat late-night snacks, and I couldn’t stop eating sugar either.

Still, stimulating food was a drug that I couldn’t quit, and late night snacks tasted like heaven.

But I did not neglect exercise. I worked harder than before.

Therefore, there is no reason to shrink. You can be bold! Not ashamed of Jon Nassen’s name!

Tadat!- Coo Goo Palace!!-

Kwaaang!!-

“….”

Kyle, who saw his brother and sister doing Super Hero Landing, calmly gave up on that idea.

Looking back, she thinks she did something wrong. I don’t know exactly, but it seems to be like that.

“I am the youngest.”

“Kyle!!”

“Brother Lear, sister Leah. Long time no see… Big!”

I thought my neck and spine would be broken at the same time.

If he had been a little weaker, he would have died like that.

“You are finally here. Our youngest”

“I missed you, Kyle!!”

“Keep it off!! Me too, I wanted to see it! That’s right, once! Kkeek!”

At the academy, no one dared to touch Kyle.

Kyle like that is now being treated like a 5-year-old snotster.

Her older brother and sister welcome her so fiercely that it feels like it’s about to explode.

“Heh heh heh.”

Old man Neil just watched it with a benevolent smile.

Even when Kyle yells at me to help me, heh heh heh heh heh heh! It was a barrage.

‘… Strong.’

Gulp-.

Ian swallowed dryly, carefully examining Lear and Leah.

After sparring with Kyle several times, she was able to raise her senses to the extreme.

Academy professors and dispatched knights called Ian a genius.

With time, he added that he might rise to the top 10 of the empire.

‘If it were me in the past, I might have been arrogant about it. But, not anymore.’

Hey, it’s hard to even get over the young man who is struggling between his brother and sister.

It’s a matter of course that you can’t beat that brother and sister.

In the midst of that, how can I say that he is the strongest swordsman and the best swordsman?

I have to work harder. You must shed more blood and sweat. And you must become stronger.

Ian clenched his fists and looked at the Jon Nassen siblings.

I definitely want to be reached, so I want to be acknowledged, and I want to surpass it someday.

The beings that made me have a strong longing were right in front of my eyes.

‘Cool!!’

Meanwhile, Nell was admiring similarly to Ian.

The other thing is that I can’t read her momentum as much as Ian, so she’s vaguely strong! As far as reading only that.

Even so, she wasn’t short of remembering the goal she had come here for.

And lastly, Tisha….

‘These are Kyle’s older brothers and sisters. I have to look good no matter what!’

If you want to catch the eyes of your father and brother in the future, you have to grit your teeth and make an effort.

I was repeating that to myself over and over again.
