NOVEL NEXT Chapter 136: Martial Arts Training
In my previous world, there were, of course, some women who were willing to enter the United States Marine Corps enlistment training.
All the women who join the Marine Corps are supposed to be trained on Parris Island.
In the first 3 weeks of the training period, the basic strength and physical strength to withstand future training will be the focus.
First, prepare gymnastics.
Jumping jack.
Hello Dolly.
Push-ups.
Abs.
Back Spine.
Running on the ground about 4.8 Km is completed with a time limit. This is one of the physical fitness tests of the US Marine Corps recruits.
You can get points by the time you run 4.8 km (the required time is different for women and men, so the points will be different even if you run at the same time. It seems that soldiers have a time limit of 31 minutes for 4.8 km for women and 28 minutes for men).
Other Training Drill Basic Behaviors-Be careful, rest, and teach basic salute behaviors.
Furthermore, for us, Training Drill, and the history of the Chrysanthemum Knights, and Peacemaker’s purpose and way of thinking.
The purpose is to inspire attachment and respect by knowing the history and thought of the Legion to which they belong.
And then they march. Many times, many times.
Assault rifles have not been given yet. for that reason, they haven’t practiced the march with Assault rifles.
It’s just a campaign March, it just repeats many times.
Then they have doubts.
(Why are we doing this?)
(What does it mean to march like this?)
(No, no, I want to quit …)
Distrust grows among the girls. Every day, it piles up high like snow falling from the sky.

At night, sobs echoes in the barracks.
She got a pillow over her head, but Layara sleeping on the bed next to her can hear her. She gets out of bed even though it’s past the lights out time. A girl sleeping next to her, a beast race, a girl with rabbit ears.
(Are you okay?)
(La, Vice-Captain Layara … I’m sorry, I’m noisy.)
(Hui, you’re also the former deputy commander. Now you’re just with us.)
Layara gently strokes the head of a rabbit-eared girl, to calm her down.
(Isn’t it hard for you, Layara? I’m already …)
(Yeah, it’s painful. It’s painful. But I want to join the Chrysanthemum Knights again, and I want to work under Lute san and the others who helped me. I want to give back more than that. So even if it’s hard, I will do my best.)
Layara wiped the rabbit girl’s tears.
(… I want to join the Chrysanthemum Knights again, and now I want to help you all.)
(So, let’s do our best a little more. It’s okay if we all work together, 13 weeks will be so quick.)
(Yes)
And Layara clasped her hand until the girl fell asleep. The girl quickly fell asleep because of her daily tiredness stroke at once because she felt secure.

The next day, I let the girls march without meaning. Then I screamed abusive words and raised distrust. However, they never complained and devoted themselves to training.
They encourage each other’s friends who have slowed down during running and call out to try to complete the race within the designated time.
I nodded with satisfaction so that the girls wouldn’t notice. Why did I inflame their “distrust” on purpose?
There’s a good reason for that.
“What does this mean? ―――― This feeling of distrust of unreasonableness makes them, the recruits, understand the importance of “not being able to achieve their goals without cooperating with everyone” or “teamwork”. In other words, they are deliberately pushed into difficult situations and creating an environment in which they strongly feel that they must help each other.
In my previous life, the recruitment training of the US Marine Corps, the recruits are hunted down and take roughly two actions.
One is to leave the training.
And the other is the action of realizing that “one person can’t overcome this rigorous training” and help each other to overcome the training.
Few choose the former and mostly choose the latter. In other words, the Marine Corps, in this case, understands that “they are the only one who supports the Chrysanthemum Knights”.
“One for the troop, the troop for the one.” In this way, the girls learn the importance of “teamwork” and work together to overcome the difficult challenges given to them.
I am satisfied with their reaction.
In this way, the basic bodybuilding is completed in the third week of the training period.

We started training drills for martial arts from the fourth week of the training period. From the 4th week of the training period, the US Marine Corps, in my previous world, also teaches fighting skills. In the Marine Corps, it is called the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP).
The trainer suddenly said, “Form a group of two and fight each other!” It doesn’t mean that. Be sure to receive an explanation from your supervisor before start training.
The martial arts instructors in charge were Shia and I. We stood in front of the girls who were sitting on the ground and explained the martial arts they would learn.
Shia, who was always dressed as a maid, this time was asked to wear Military uniforms and boots. It’s been a while since I’ve seen clothes other than maid clothes on Shia.
“I am Shia, your martial arts teacher, and advisor. Please take care of me.”
Shia was in Military uniform, despite her appearance, she greeted them elegantly. It would be a problem if such an attitude was taken during the training period …
It’s like an occupational disease for her. There is no point in pointing it out.
I cleared my throat and immediately started explaining martial arts.
“First, the basic posture-the fighting stance”
Shia lightly bends her knees, puts the center of gravity on her toes, and gently holds her hands forward.
This is the basic posture- the fighting stance.
“When hitting an opponent, hold your fist softly until you stick it out, and hold it firmly the moment you hit.”
Shia moves according to my words.
Right straight.
“If you hold one piece of cloth or a stone, Offensive power punch will be up. The fist is not the only way to attack your opponent. First, a hand sword, which is used to attack the throat and temples. Unlike the fist, this is the bottom of the palm, and you can make powerful attacks without worrying about fractures. Elbow, which has about three times the attack power of a fist. Toes that have the most reach in the body. The heel is advantageous for attacking behind. In close quarters, knees that are powerful along with elbows. From now on, I will teach you how to use each attack method. Later, we’ll work on pairs, so please take a closer look at the method.”
“Sir, yes Sir!”
With a serious expression, the girls learned how to do martial arts with bare hands. When I was a slave, Gigi taught me how to do martial arts.
Martial arts in this world are hit and thrown because there is no school, there is nothing but wrestling + kickboxing.
In this martial arts training, the girls will be taught not only how to hit, but also how to fight in the future such as throwing, strangling, and joints.
After teaching how to hit in kata, Shia and I taught Kumite’s method. (TN: Kata and Kumite are complementary training methods. In Kata, one learns basic techniques and in Kumite one applies them with a sparring partner.)
They formed groups of two people, and they repeatedly hit and block each one in turn.
Shia and I watched over them.
Thus, martial arts training was added.
From the 7th week of the training period, we will finally begin shooting training.
