Chapter 61

A battle drill with the sixth training ground.

Burren had already heard the rumors about it. The story originated from a pub two months before, but he shrugged it off as a groundless rumor since nothing happened since then.

Yet he was told it was tomorrow. Tomorrow!

Burren thought he had a problem with his ears. Because it was simply unimaginable that he would've actually heard that.

"Instructor."

"Mhm."

"Did you just say it was tomorrow?"

"Mhm."

"Stop copying Runaan. Please tell me clearly. Is it really tomorrow?"

"Argh. I told you, yes."

Rimmer nodded immediately. His shameless face deserved a beating.

"It's not just a spar, but an all-out war. Yet it's tomorrow?"

"Since there's not that many people involved, you should consider it as a local war instead of an all-out war..."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about!"

Burren stomped on the ground.

"Tomorrow is the day of the battle, and you just told us about it now. How could you even do that? Was the rumor from the pub really true?"

"Oh, so you knew about it. That story was about me and Metun."

"God damn it!"

One-on-one spars would've been a different story, but an all-out battle was a competition of pride. Announcing such an important matter the day before was so preposterous that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Haaa, that's why you're called novices."

Rimmer clicked his tongue, squatting on the ground.

"Does a war or a battle start after politely greeting each other with a 'Nice to meet you, we will start fighting you. Be careful!'? No, it doesn't. Most battles start suddenly, from an unexpected situation."

His sharp pressure overwhelmed the surroundings, despite his shabby posture.

"Once a war starts, you have to run out to participate whether you are eating, sleeping, or taking a shit. In a situation where you don't even know who the enemies are or how many of them there are, you have to draw your sword and fight. I'm giving you plenty of time to prepare by telling you a day before."

"Uhh!"

"That's..."

Burren and the trainees shut their mouths, unable to retort.

'He's right.'

Raon nodded.

'Most missions are sudden.'

Assassination was the same.

Naturally, assassination was a lot more likely to succeed when the target was outside, rather than in their home.

Devising a plan and starting to move once the target left the house was a common occurrence.

Improvising a plan of action was an indispensable quality of an assassin.
