“It’s boring.”

“…I don’t think that’s what the person who is destroying every piece of training equipment that students have to use right now would say.”

“It’s too trivial. Is there a higher level? Are kids these days only like this? It wasn’t like this in our time.”

It was Rebecca who grumbled about the past like an old man.

There were private training grounds for students in Academy City, and it was such a private training ground that Rebecca was grumbling.

It was easy to rent a private training ground because most of the senior students went to practical training during vacation.

The problem was that the private training grounds couldn’t match Rebecca’s level.

I pretended to be a customer of the private training ground and watched Rebecca’s actions.

“If you train like that these days, it’ll be a big deal. In the past, the situation was so bad that there was no one to argue with, but it’s not now.”

The situation has stabilized to the extent that military enlistment has been reduced to 10 years.

But Rebecca wasn’t happy with the current situation itself.

“I don’t like that! You’re complacent about the fact that the pollution rate isn’t increasing. Is it right to live with 60% of the land taken away? Rather, when it’s stable now, we should go out and purify more land!”

“It’s because we can live well enough with the land we have now.”

No matter how much the human population increases, the places where people can live are limited.

Most of the contaminated areas were uninhabitable land.

‘In the first place, most of it is also the sea.’

Therefore, the military changed its goal of maintaining the status quo rather than reducing the pollution rate.

In fact, in this world, countless nobles sacrificed just to stabilize the pollution rate.

The nobles, tired of the long war, wanted to enjoy peace.

“No!! Not at all. I lost the desert because of that damn pollution. I have to get it back.”

“Yes, yes. I know. The desert is your homeland.”

“You guys don’t understand. The reason for leaving a good place to live and going to the hard desert…”

“Isn’t a person like me bound to understand even more?”

As Rebecca’s eyes lit up, Rebecca’s friend, the owner of a private training ground, said with a sigh.

It is a voice full of self-reproach.

“If you’ve succeeded this much, why don’t you stop now? Who has a private training ground this size on such a good lot? Other kids look at you? They’re jealous of that. Nasty assholes.”

“To be honest, I’m not proud of not being enlisted.”

A friend of Rebecca who went to the academy with Rebecca in the past, but did not succeed in enlisting due to lack of skills and started a business.

No one likes to enlist, but there is a big difference between not going in and not being able to do it.

If you can’t enter, the military tells you not to come at all because it’s useless.

When you wake up, you usually have a high immunity to a tolerable disease, but despite this, you could understand if you couldn’t enlist because you had a chronic disease.

However, in Sasha’s case, she was rejected for enlistment due to her lack of skills, and she had to face all sorts of ridicule because of that.

“If you’ve been as successful as you are, you can brag about it. When you guys hit the jackpot, I succeeded so wonderfully!”

“…I’m not going.”

I, who was training the swordsmanship I had learned as a mercenary, sighed involuntarily at the words of my friend Rebecca, who was gloomy.

‘It’s embarrassing here too.’

And Rebecca, who has a hot temper, said.

“What bullsh*t is that? Rather, the more I do, the more I should attend! Show off how much money I’ve made. Maybe they’ll go crazy with envy?”

If you look at the private training ground, your stomach will probably hurt more.

Someone went to the army and came back with a hit, but someone didn’t accept it, so they couldn’t enlist, and didn’t they hit the jackpot by making money at that time?

‘It’s right that it’s a loss to not go unconditionally.’

Maybe they’ll get pissed off and drink from the bottle.

I’ll curse you outwardly

But when you wake up the next day, you will be hit hard.

And I’m going crazy with envy

“Ah, what are you going to do with this bastard’s low self-esteem? Excuse me.”

“…?”

did you call me?

“You’re right, mister. Did you hear what we were talking about, mister?”

“It’s a situation where you can’t hear anything.”

The size of the training ground is so large that when you speak, the whole room vibrates.

“I’m sorry. We were talking too loudly.”

The owner of the training ground apologized, but Rebecca said it didn’t matter.

“Can you tell me what you’ve heard before? He doesn’t believe me.”

“Stop it! It’s a nuisance.”

“What’s bothering you? Are you uncomfortable?”

To be honest, when Rebecca started talking to me, I was afraid that I had been caught following her.

I am hum! Clearing his throat, he said to the owner of the training ground.

“No. I think it would be nice to go to the reunion.”

“Look!! That man said to attend too.”

“It may be a bit childish, but the original classic works well.”

“That’s right! I’ll go there and show you all the expensive clothes, expensive jewelry, and expensive handbags. Things that other people can’t easily find. You have a lot of expensive things in your closet.”

“In addition, you decorate your appearance a bit too hard.

“Kyaha~ You know something.”

“If you do that, you’ll be spoiled for the atmosphere there.”

“!!!”

The owner of the training ground was shocked by my words, but Rebecca clenched her fist as she said that.

“Yes! That’s thrilling!”

The fact that he was not accepted by the military because of his lack of skills means that he did not spend his school days normally.

It is because it is obvious that he was ignored by other students due to his skills.

“I was invited, but it looks like someone else’s party.

“Wow~ Just imagining it gave me goosebumps. I thought their faces would be crumpled.”

“Finally, if you need a private training ground, let me know~ Since you’re my friend, I’ll let you use the first episode for free.”

The icing on the cake if you even cut it up in a nasty way.

Rebecca patted her on the thigh as if she liked my idea.

“Yayaya. Listen carefully to what that man said. It’s amazing.”

The owner of the training ground is also starting to imagine taking revenge on my words, and his expression brightens.

“Wouldn’t that be too unlucky?”

“Everyone there will hate you in the first place.”

“That’s right. You were an outcast.”

“Yah…”

“They hate me even if I don’t do anything, so wouldn’t it be better to give them a reason to hate me?”

“Wow~ I really like this man!

“Soohan. I run a general store.”

Unknowingly, I almost said it was money.

Mercenary has retired, so it is correct not to use that nickname.

“Soohan? Nice name? Tell me where the general store is. I’ll visit you next time! I thought general stores only had Ash.”

“New customers are always welcome. It’s normal to not know since the general store has just opened.”

“Age is?”

“thirty.”

“Oh! I’m 30 too. We were the same age. Let’s not stop!

I shook my head at Rebecca’s cool suggestion.

“Because I am a commoner.”

“Oh! Really? I thought you were an aristocrat. And if you’re a commoner, don’t talk about it? Let’s be friends.”

And unexpectedly, Rebecca continued to reach out her hand without taking it seriously even when she was called a commoner.

I thought the commoner would be offended even if he didn’t curse at me for being arrogant.

“You are a peculiar nobleman.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a commoner or an aristocrat. If we get along well, we’re friends. Are we going to do it?”

“Well…let’s see. No, let’s do it.”

“Me too! Please.”

And the owner of the training ground courageously intervened.

“Of course you should too!”

Rebecca tapped the owner of the training ground on the shoulder as if saying something new.

“You should tell me your name too.”

“My name is Sasha.”

I didn’t know because I was paying attention to Rebecca, but the beauty of the owner of the training ground was unusual.

By the way, in this world, it is very rare to have a beautiful woman unless you are an SSR character.

However, Sasha was so beautiful that it was hard to believe that she was not an SSR character.

In particular, her long straight pink hair and eyes were so gorgeous that I wondered why I hadn’t taken a close look at her until now.

However, his appearance was somewhat cold, giving off an atmosphere that would make it difficult to approach and talk to him without a smile.

‘When I’m not talking to Rebecca, I put on a cold expression most of the time.’

It’s a private training ground run by a beautiful landlady…

It was at this moment that I realized why this place is so popular.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

After making a statement with Rebecca and Sasha due to an unexpected incident.

We didn’t part right away, we finished training and went for drinks.

It was Rebecca who suggested the drink first.

It is clear that he really liked what I said to Sasha.

It wasn’t something I had planned, but it didn’t hurt to build a relationship with Rebecca.

“Is the general store doing well? Shall I promote it to the kids?”

Rebecca, who had been drinking, seemed to be in a good mood, saying that there was something she could do for me, and that she would promote my general store.

“I can also recommend to our members…”

Rebecca wasn’t the only one making a fuss.

Sasha was also timid, but said that she wanted to be of help and boasted that she could promote it.

“It’s okay. I’ve been dating a good friend for the first time in a while, but I don’t want to make a problem by getting entangled in work like that. Even if the general store isn’t doing well, I can live without any problems. Running a general store is a hobby I do. On the contrary, it’s annoying when the number of customers increases.”

Of course, I declined because I didn’t want a lot of customers.

Although there were overflowing items that were not sold in the temchang, wasn’t the general store opened with the intention of selling all of them in the first place?

Restocking was also laborious.
