NOVEL NEXT chapter 3
3 – 03. I hate morning exercise
NTR Academy Korea Branch
Room 302, 1st year male dormitory
“……Keep it off”
Current time, 5:57 AM
I stared blankly at the clock, barely lifting my head from the blanket.
“3 Minutes…”
I’d rather wake up right at 6:00, but why do I always wake up vaguely a few minutes earlier?
Even if I close my eyes again, I can’t fall asleep, and at least my eyes are closed and I feel better when the alarm rings from the speaker in the dormitory.
“I hate it…!”
I really hate doing it.
Why do I have to live this life again?
My teeth trembled at the thought of enlisting right after I was discharged.
“Whoa….It’s cold…!”
Well, even though I’m talking nonsense with my mouth, I’m preparing my body steadily.
I went to the playground in front of the academy and stood in line right in front of the instructor, no, the teacher.
“Chrono again today, are you number 1?”
“Hello”
A teacher with bobbed hair and wearing a training suit.
He had a whistle hanging around his neck, and his body was slim rather than muscular.
“What are the other guys doing? If everyone falls for it…”
“Ah…hahahaha…”
Teacher, literally, I’m the only one on the playground right now.
In a little while, some kids would come running, but right now I was the only one.
What should I say? Should it be the result of early education?
Unlike other academy cadets who are just starting their life as cadets, the teacher patted me on the back as if he really liked the way I moved from the first week.
“Yes. If the body is weak, even the mind must be strong. Whatever it is, the steady guy is bound to hit and climb.”
“…Thank you”
Looks like a good word
For me, it was just full of memories I wanted to forget.
“Haaa..!”
“I’m sleepy…”
“How much should I do for this?”
As I waited, more and more cadets came
The teacher looked at her watch and she immediately started warming up.
“The slogan is added by Class B Chrono! Got it!”
“Evil?!”
Why
…
..
.
Preparation gymnastics to warm up the body lightly at first
What follows after that——doesn’t end until 8 o’clock. It’s an aerobic hell marathon that we all enjoy.
“Come on, wake up! There is still an hour left!”
“Ah…!”
“Look at the voice!”
“Evil!!”
f*cking March
f*cking Morning Exercise
I’d rather be a little better if it was my body before, but with my slim anchovy body, I’d pass out after running for less than 10 minutes.
[Blessing of Chronos (E)]
-This is the blessing of Kronos, who felt sorry for the apostle.
-Lives as long as the action lasts
Effect: Accelerated recovery speed (Small)
“Huh uh uh…!”
One day, I spoke to Cronus.
Please have pity on me. Please have pity on me
The reason I said that is simple.
I am just a petit bourgeois.
Because there are limits to what such petit bourgeois can do
So, I meant to ask you to be generous even if you poop…
[Emergency Mission]
[Training as an apostle]
-How a weak soul dwells in a weak body
– Train your body to become an apostle worthy of Kronos.
1. Follow until the end of the march (0/1)
Reward: Contribution 2
If you fail: a little disappointed
“Everybody, wake up! 30 Minutes left! Got it? 30 Minutes left!”
“Evil!!!”
A Beggarly Quest
I didn’t mean this to ask you to take care of me
“Now, that’s it for today! Disband everyone!”
“aaa!!”
In the end, I barely finished the march, pretending to be halfway down.
At the word dissolution, the legs just loosened up.
More than slumped down, he was barely breathing.
[Training as an Apostle-Success]
– Master Cronos muttered that he would have to continue a few more times due to the apostle’s weakness.
Reward: Contribution 2
“…God”
How on earth do you intend to roll me?
[Apostle of Chronos][Rank:E(EX)]
-Take control of time [Time limit: 30s/30s
-You can increase your rank through missions[12/50]
I calmly looked at the skill window and exhaled.
Yes. All of this is an investment made by Kronos and myself.
If you raise your rank somehow, no matter what the process is, you will be able to survive no matter what you do.
Rather, if you look at it that way, I belonged to the very lucky axis.
Before being possessed, if you were a newcomer with no experience just leaving the army
Now I am one of the few apostles on Earth who have been blessed by the gods.
In terms of future prospects, the latter was better.
…The catch is that if you do something wrong, you could be sliced to death.
“You did well today too, Cadet Chrono. It’s good guts”
“…Teacher”
As I raised my head, the teacher handed me a water bottle.
Does it mean drinking? I said thank you and opened a water bottle and drank.
“Awesome…!!”
The water in the water bottle was quite cool, probably because of the cold wind in the morning.
Thanks to that, I felt as if my heated body cooled off to some extent.
“Thank you sir.”
“Is it coming out tomorrow too?”
“That’s…”
Teacher
Tomorrow is Saturday…
[Mission]
[Training as an apostle]
-Training is the way to be steady!
-We never betray the perspective invested in our efforts.
1. Participate in the morning march (0/1)
Reward: Contribution 2
“Of course I have to come out! I will definitely participate!”
“Whoops. Okay. It’s good guts.”
Teacher who goes straight back
I whispered as I looked at the absent-minded teacher.
“It’s the weekend though…”
I’ll do it in moderation
Of course, I knew there was no possibility of that happening, but I still wanted to try the circuit of hope.
“Huh… Let’s wash now. I have to go wash up”
Classes start at around 10:00
After washing, eating breakfast and getting ready, it was time to get fit.
***********
Name: Chrono (Class B)
Ranking: —
Strength: 7
Stamina: 14
Agility: 13
INT: 31
Divinity: 20
“It’s disastrous…”
Did you say 10 is average for adults?
In most cases, the average cadet standard for admission is around 20 to 30, and in the case of heroines, there are cases where it is up to 40.
From that point of view, my stats could only be considered below average.
‘My strength is especially terrible’
Hagisa No matter what you want from the body of this anchovy, the degree is severe.
I’m starting to wonder how he defeated Mars in a battle a few days ago.
Looking at the ‘bracelet’ on my right wrist, I thought about my future prospects.
“First of all… I will never skip training”
You can’t leave out the training you do every morning.
If you don’t fall out for a week right now, one of the stamina, agility, and strength will definitely rise, so at this point where one stat is a waste, it’s like a rain of drought.
Aside from that, I had to do some physical training separately in the afternoon after school——If you think about it, you had to practice your weapon skills as well.
“For weapon skills, for physical training…”
The power of Cronus also had to be trained.
I feel out of breath just thinking about it
I took off my bracelet, laid my head down, and exhaled.
“I want to die…”
“If you want to die like that, fight with me first and then die.”
“…..Mars?”
Why are you here?
As he slowly turned his head to the side, Mars sat next to him as if it were natural.
“Let’s fight. Today after school at 6:00, there is a second fitness room, right? There is a separate training ground there, so come over there.”
At some point, Mars makes an appointment
Without worrying about how to answer
“No”
“Yes, of course if you are a warrior… you say you don’t like it?”
“Yes”
“…………”
No
I don’t like to fight
I mean non-violence
“Why? Why don’t you want to fight?”
“Because I don’t like it…”
“No, tell me the reason!”
“Uh.E.E.E.E”
Mars forcibly raises my body and shakes my shoulders
To be honest, the food I ate for breakfast seemed to rise to the top, so I wanted to quit.
“Is that you? That you’ve already won once, so you have to try again to win again? You bastard, that’s why I looked so easygoing!”
“That’s not it”
“Then what! Why avoid Dalian!”
“…I don’t want to pass out again”
Even if you passed out and woke up 10 minutes later
Actually, I barely woke up three hours later, and the teacher sitting next to me gave me the pass letter and the dormitory key and disappeared.
At least it was fortunate that you liked the training process, but if it wasn’t for that, I would have gone all the way down to class C.
Although Class C is the last class to begin with.
‘The number of cadets is small’
It can be because it is the Korean branch.
In the first place, NTR Academy’s worldview itself is a worldview where it is difficult for supernatural powers to emerge who have been blessed by God.
Should it be said that it is shaped like this because even a small number of students overlap in a very narrow land?
Anyway, I freed my shoulder from Mars…
Release…
Solve it, loosen it up
It hurts, it hurts. Do you have shoulder pain?
“Dalian, are you going to do it?”
“….Crazy Dalyeonchung”
Did you listen to everything I said?
I spoke to Mars again.
“Didn’t you see me when I was walking in the morning? You were about to fall half way out?”
“Did I go to bed in the morning?”
“……”
“Sufficient rest is a basic condition for a strong warrior!”
That was just a shot.
As if recognizing the strangely cold look in my eyes, Mars grabbed my shoulder once more and released his hands.
“Ha, that’s all right. Anyway, if you take a class, you will definitely do sparring, but you can do it then.”
“…………..”
Ah, is that so?
I must avoid taking classes like yours.
Usually around this time, it seems that Kronos-sama will forcefully give us a mission and try to engage us, but the mission window doesn’t really appear, probably because we’ve already won.
The only thing left is to avoid it
“Today, there will be a weapon skills lecture. Please follow me for close-range combat, and follow the assistant next to me for long-distance combat.”
“Yes!”
I stood up proudly.
Mars glanced at me and strode towards the teacher.
“Distance combat lecture, Chrono.
“Hey!!!”
Of course I followed the assistant.
I hate you
I’m scared
“You… You! I’ll hold on tight to you! I know I won’t miss it next time!”
“…Good Luck”
Leaving behind the angry Mars, I followed the teaching assistant.
As soon as I left the class, the other cadets from the A and C classes came out and followed me——the long-distance combat classroom that followed the teaching assistant.
“Hello…?”
“………”
Hera’s Apostle
Yuno
I avoided Ares’ apostle, but Hera’s apostle approached.
…No way?
[Emergency Mission]
[Apostle of Hera]
-This is an urgent mission given by Kronos.
1. Challenge Hera’s Apostle to a duel and win (0/1)
Reward: Contribution 10/ Little Expectation
If it fails: a huge disappointment
“It”
Why are you doing this to me
