________
Clear Stone's training session only ended at 9 p.m., after the Tona twins collapsed side by side.
They had completely exhausted their physical and mental strength so they ended up falling unconscious.
"Pathetic."
Zed clicked his tongue and called the medical team. Meanwhile, Jin did not fully agree with his uncle's statement.
"Quite impressive they lasted this long right from the start."
Jin was still standing on both feet. His feet were trembling like crazy and an ominous ringing still echoed in his mind, but he stood up.
The attitude and dedication the twins showed today is commendable. To be honest, even Jin was on the verge of collapse. If the training continued for another thirty minutes, he would definitely fall to the ground.
The medical team placed the twins on a stretcher and took them out.
“Make sure you tell your brothers that if they plan to faint during training tomorrow as well, they should not come to class from the beginning.”
"I understand."
Jin came out of the hidden training room and contemplated himself as he walked back to his dorm.
'Seeing Uncle's reaction, I almost let him down as well. Had the training been a little longer, I would have fainted. And Uncle will consider me a failure as well... I have to be more careful tomorrow.'
However, Zed had different thoughts than Jin had predicted. He stayed behind in the hidden room, staring at the places where his three nephews stood until just a moment ago.
'The Tona twins eventually collapsed much later than I had previously thought. Kekek, those Runcandels are fine. But the youngest.’.
Despite being two years younger than the twins, she managed to undergo training today without falling unconscious. It was an incredible feat, considering that his body had not developed as much as them.
'Shameful. How humiliating! Why should she be born as the youngest?!’
According to what Zed witnessed today, Jin was the most talented among Cyron's 13 children. Although it is debatable whether he is better than Luna or not, he is far more talented than Joshua, who will soon become a patriarch.
However, he is too young.
Jin is only 15 years old.
Even if he trained seriously and became a 9-star knight at the age of 30, Joshua would already be leading the clan back then.
These days, the authority and power of the patriarch slowly began to be transferred to Joshua. Very slowly, but surely.
'If only he had been born ten years earlier, he would have the Runcandel Clan in his grasp ...!'
Right now, Jin's talent and speed of growth were .. the seeds that would sow chaos and doom in the clan.
If Jin becomes the strongest man in the clan in ten or fifteen years and is eyeing the throne? To the Runcandel Clan?
And what if a clan— enemy like Zipfels— takes advantage of inner conflict to attack the clan?
As his mind reached that conclusion, Zed let out a long sigh.
'Let's keep an eye on it for now. Seeing how Luna cares for her, Jin might grow up to resemble her. He might be the Shadow that protects the clan like that child.'
Countless variables that can affect the 'future' and 'growth' of Jin exist. The boy could die during a mission or could suddenly decide to leave the clan one day and become a wanderer.
The children experienced many different experiences and incidents as they grew up, so Zed could not yet predict the future of Jin and the clan.
March 1795. A month has passed.
Jin and the Tona twins were in an open war for hegemony from day one, but since they were trapped in the Clear Stone training room all afternoon, there was no real fight between them.
Ever since Kajin Romello was slashed by Jin, the other cadets did not dare to touch the Bungsu Division even when the young master was away. They had also been ordered by Myu and Anne not to do so.
Jin's two older sisters have decided not to interfere with the events inside the middle training class, as he predicted.
They have no hope for the Tona twins. The idiots had borrowed their best middle-class cadets and returned them in a handicapped state, so they had no reason to support the twins anymore.
"... It's so peaceful that it's worrisome."
Mesa spoke while cleaning the dirt off her clothes, which was in very bad condition as they had just finished their morning training session. The surrounding cadets were in the same condition as him.
“Do you think young master is fine in the afternoon? We don't even know what they teach.”
Bellop asked in a worried tone, but Mesa snorted.
“We are not at a level where we can worry young master.”
“But from time to time, I hear explosions inside a hidden training room along with people screaming. The young masters of Tona were even taken out on stretchers before the training session ended two days ago.”
“Stop worrying and focus on your own practice. Don't you remember what the young master said to us? We will soon be given a mission. Very difficult mission, according to the young master. ”
Except for Mesa, Scott, Zhushen, Taimont and Kiko, the other members of the Youngest Division did not reach the average level of middle-class cadets.
In other words, Edington, Sierra, Phils, and Bellop were not yet supposed to be sent on a mission. Well, technically, Bellop is quite skilled. He had only yet to recover mental strength well enough to make the most of his abilities.
“I don't want to be a hindrance to young master from now on. So we have to focus on our own problems now. We all have to reach 3 stars at least before we are given our first mission.”
"He's right. And thanks to Young Master Jin we were not bullied or mistreated during this faction war.”
The cadets nodded with stern expressions.
"Consideration!"
The assistant instructor of the middle training class, 'Mael Trasil', shouted loudly. There were a total of three assistant instructors in the middle class, and they were all the protective knights of the Runcandel Clan. Mael is the assistant principal instructor.
“The first mission of the middle class this year has been issued. There are five missions in total. Now I'll call a name. The cadets whose names are called must step forward. In total there are 60 cadets who will be dispatched this time.”
The cadets who had spent several years in the middle class did not show any particular reaction. However, those who were 3 years old or less showed tense expressions.
“The first one is the monster subjugation mission. The target of the conquest was the goblins. You will hear the mission details from Petro, the second butler. The cadets involved are Denkello, Atan, John..”.
“The second one is the escort mission. The commissioners who needed protection were the startups within the Minche Smithy Association. It will be beneficial for some of you if you are friendly with them. Those involved are Houston, Bading.”.
“The third mission is the conquest of other monsters. The target is the orcs this time. The operating area is also an unprotected zone. The cadets involved are, um.”
Mael's hand stopped as soon as he turned the page. He frowned before making sure he had read the names right on the document.
'The area of operation is an unprotected area, but all cadets are newcomers ... Young Master Jin would be unhappy with this. It would be difficult for everyone to come back alive. But it's not like we can complain to the flag bearer.'
“Mesa, Scott, Taimont, Kiko, Zhushen, Edington, Sierra, Phils, and David. The petro will tell you about the details as well. I'm offering you all god speed ... "
A commotion started among the middle cadets. Not only the target orcs, but they also entered an unprotected zone. Half or more of the Youngest Division will definitely die during this mission.
However, not a single word of protest was addressed to the assistant instructor.
Since the flag bearers had chosen this line, they had no say in this. If one objected to this, it must be the leader of the faction, Jin himself.
If Jin went to look for the flag bearer personally to complain, he could easily change the members of the 3rd mission. He could make a deal or utilize Luna's authority and influence.
However, it will end up biting him back later.
He would openly admit that members of his faction were not skilled enough to be sent on official missions. And if he uses Luna's authority, Jin will prove that he himself has no power or qualifications.
In that case, Jin would checkmate himself. Thus, the Bungsu Division had no choice but to follow him and carry out the mission.
"Instructures, what are the 4th and 5th missions?"
“It was assigned to young master. You don't have to worry about yourself. Dismissed! After you have lunch, the cadets assigned to the mission can take a break from class until they depart. You will be sent in two days. ”
As soon as the assistant instructor left, a commotion began within the cadets.
"Damn, good luck to those kids."
"There will be at least four or five deaths ..."
“It would be better for them not to be part of any faction.”
“Didn't I say that? If you join the wrong faction, you will only see a sea of blood.”
"Poor children."
The cadets who were part of the Myu and Anne faction, like Kajin, all grinned suspiciously as they nodded amongst themselves.
“We have to prepare some coffins. Snicker.”
“We should have a decent funeral for them. Since they have two more days, let's have someone paint their portrait first. Oh, and they must not forget to write a will.”
“Bwahaha! Have a nice trip, you sweet! Otherwise, you can ask Young Master Jin for help. 'Please save us! Please save us!’ Snicker.”
The cadets in the Myu and Anne factions giggled amongst themselves as they stared at the Youngest Division. Taimont was about to stand up and face them, but Mesa grabbed his shoulder and held him back.
“Defend. We still can't win against them, and starting the fight right before we set out on a mission won't do us any good.”
“But those bastards are...!”
“Shut up and sit down, Taimont. You don't want to cause trouble for the young master, do you? Do I really have to spell it out to you? ”
The angry Taimont sat back down.
"…What do we do?"
Sierra took a deep breath. The other members of the Youngest Division also wore depressed expressions.
"Is that a question? This is the Runcandel Clan. If they want us to go out and fight, we go and fight. We will do whatever we can to complete the mission successfully and come back alive. That's the only way we can trample on the pride of those bastards and humiliate them.”
Mesa spoke while gritting her teeth. Although his face was confident, his hands trembled lightly.
No, he's not afraid of death. He was only disappointed in himself that he could only be a hindrance to Young Master Jin and cause trouble for him.

Booooms!
“Argh!”
“Haytona!”
“Ugh!”
Haytona's Clear Stone has exploded. This was already his third stone today. The steel marbles grazed Daytona and headed for Jin, who concentrated on his own sword and steel ball.
Haytona was hit in the chest, and Jin in the wings. Had his own steel ball exploded, Jin would have avoided the projectile. But someone else's ball exploded and marbles flew towards him from the side? It was even inevitable for him.
Zed was sitting in a corner, calmly reading the mission documents as if he did not care what happened to them.
"Ugh, fuck!"
"Are you okay?"
“Yes, I'm fine, Daytona. Um. sorry, Jin. Uh, I didn't do it on purpose.”.
Haytona fearfully approached Jin. Daytona followed him while scratching the back of his head.
As he looks at their actions, Jin begins to wonder if they are really the same Evil Killer Maniac from his first life.
"I'm doing fine. But from now on, I want you two to train in that corner.”
“B-Sure.”
The Tona twins grumbled as they pushed their table into a corner.
There was a reason why the twins were so obedient to their younger brother. After spending time training together for an entire month, they soon realized that their uncle's words were correct.
Don't face the youngest until you're both strong enough. That is, if you want to live long.
The genie they had witnessed so far was a ferocious beast. Today, the Tona twins finally gained enough power to make Clear Stones explode three to four times per session. However, Jin had already detonated Stones since a few days ago, creating five to six explosions each session.
'Today, I will definitely make a clear sound. Certainly.'
His waist was throbbing from the pain. He did not feel his ribs cracking, so he was physically fine. However, his breathing was completely erratic now.
Phew…
Jin closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. He could subconsciously see the surface of Clear Stone, its stiffness, and its weight in his mind, albeit in darkness.
As the pain in his waist continued to disturb his focus, Jin felt a sudden change.
'Huh?'
Strange sensations rule his senses. For some reason, he could precisely see in which direction the steel marble was flying to hit him even though his eyes were closed. It was being drawn in his mind.
'What's this? Why do I suddenly feel like..’
Just as he was about to open his eyes and verify the actual trajectory of the marble, Zed suddenly stood up. Jin and the Tona twins immediately ran in front of him and corrected their positions.
"Details of your mission have been delivered."
