Knights, Let’s Smash Them

11 – Welcome to the Muscular Knights

“Today’s review document.”

“Ah, thank you.”

As I sipped my tea, I lightly organized the pile of papers that Knight Commander Xianne had brought me.

A pile of paperwork would have been less than twenty pages, though.

Compton’s potion, which was based on the by-products of Cave Loach, which lives in a D-class dungeon and a rustling cave, was unsurprisingly well-received.

Certainly, as befits an alchemist who dared to be stuck in such a poor village, he was certain of his skills.

Thanks to that, Compton’s ‘Blue Eyed Lizard’ started earning the highest ever.

Compton donated 20 gold coins to the Public Development Fund of the Knights, asking how to repay this favor.

‘Heh heh~ Oh, I don’t have to do this.’

I received it calmly, but the mood is definitely good. Who would refuse to give donations to the world?

In addition, the quality of the 4th and 3rd grade potions also went up, so the knights’ supply warehouse was gradually being filled with potions that were quite usable in combat.

It’s a pretty remarkable achievement.

“Ah, by the way, Captain Xianne.”

“Yes?”

From noble mtl dot com.

“Can I participate in the physical training today? I haven’t been exercising too much lately, so my back hurts a bit.”

“Can I do that!?”

“…… ? Are there any problems?”

“No, that…… It’s the first time I’ve ever seen an administrator participating in physical training.”

This lady is talking about trouble.

Because of the nature of my job where I sit at a desk all day like myself, there are many cases where I lose my health in the blink of an eye.

The saying that the three eternal friends of an administrator are scoliosis, turtle neck, and carpal tunnel syndrome isn’t just a joke, is it?

Not only that, but chronic fatigue, lack of exercise, and all sorts of adult diseases and complications from obesity.

If you want to earn a little more, and you don’t want to become a walking general ward, regular exercise and physical strength management were essential.

Because even when I was very busy, I always did bare-body workouts on my own.

And when I was with those stage artillery knights, I had no choice but to get used to martial arts and body training to some extent.

‘Besides, I also devised the weight training itself… ….’

I was afraid that it would not be the fantasy world in the novel, so I was extremely ignorant of the way I exercised.

Apart from bare body workouts, the main exercise method was to train by wielding knives and weapons.

In a way, the actual compression muscle. However, the injury rate was as high as that, and it was not a method that apprentice knights who still had a low understanding of martial arts would actively follow.

I spread weight training, which was one of the few hobbies in modern times.

Thanks to that, I trained all the apprentice knights of the Black Lion Knights to be spearmen.

I don’t know if those guys are doing well.

“Then shall we go right away?”

“Yes!? Are you done already?”

“I took a quick look, but didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. Have you heard any other stories?”

“No… ….”

You can tell if this level is important or not just by taking a glance. I stuck the quill over the inkwell and stood up.

Should I warm up after a long time?

***

“Attention everyone!”

A training ground at the back of the barracks.

The gymnasium was only an empty lot with scarecrows and straw piled haphazardly in the corner, but it was still one of the few remaining facilities for the Snow Leopard Knights.

Changed into her comfy tunic, Cianne clasped her wooden sword at her side, looked at her assembled three knights, and shouted.

“Today, the Lubern Administrator also decided to participate in a physical training session.”

What an eccentric person.

Sianne thought so.

I’ve only seen administrators who didn’t even mention the word “Dan” For training, but she was the first person to say that she would train herself first.

However, the other members reacted more than expected.

“Huh? No, why are they all looking like that…… ? Aren’t you surprised?”

“I already know, what.”

“Eh?”

Sianne made a dazed noise.

“The magistrate came earlier and told me… …. She went with Knight Lonz to bring some items needed for training.”

To her, her youngest knight, Barbara, answered.

You mean she was already at the gym while she was changing her clothes?

She had no choice but to be taken aback once again by the appearance of the Lubern administrator, who was not only active but also independent.

“Oh, there you are.”

Turning her head in the direction Heinz pointed, she saw two men bringing what looked like long iron rods, stacked one after the other.

Sianne immediately recognized the iron rod the two were carrying.

‘That’s the crowbar I was going to use when expanding the barracks in the past.’

It used high-grade iron ore, and it was an expensive material that the church had given even the blessing of not rusting, so it had been left unattended.

There are dozens of them piled up, so it wouldn’t be a problem to take out about six of them.

I had no idea what the hell I was going to do with that stick.

“Now, everyone, come out and catch one.”

Lubern said, pouring the stick he was holding into the parade ground.

“Today, I am going to do a light exercise with this stick. Oh, by the way, let’s start with stretching.”

The dark-haired magistrate smiled, showing off his white teeth, and somehow seemed to be in a good mood.

***

“One more thing, Barbara! One more!!”

“Keuk, keuheuuu…… !!”

Hudeul hudeul.

I shouted even stronger at the appearance of the youngest knight squeezing his thighs like a newborn baby elk.

“You can do it! Can do!!!”

“Plus Ultra!!”

Beside her, Lonz also clenched her fists to cheer her up, and Barbara stood up from her seat, closing her eyes tightly.

Safely completed the last set!

I applauded with all my heart for the young girl knight who finally reached the breaking point.

Clap clap clap clap clap.

“heheheha—!!!”

Thump!

Barbara just let go of the bar and sits down on her seat. Her Heinz quickly approaches her as she catches her wild breath and hands her some water.

“Are you okay?”

“Ugh, ugh… …. Thank you, senior.”

Leaving behind Barbara, who was constantly drinking water, checking the status of the other knights.

Although most of them are sweating profusely, they look somewhat satisfied. Even so, the knights had basic stamina.

If there is an exception, it would be about Lonz.

Lonz, who was the owner of excellent motor nerves as much as his size, easily followed the squat posture he was trying for the first time.

I feel like I don’t even get a message from an empty bar that weighs slightly more than 10kg.

“Lonz, let’s accompany you to the forge later. We will need some heavier instruments.”

“Welcome to me!! You can train like this in a different way!!”

As expected, the body was showing the quality of Hell Chang.

A knight is a combatant no matter what. He used to live with honor and die with honor, but in the end, a belief that is useless if it is not strong.

If you die before discussing honor with your opponent, where is the honor?

After all, a knight must be strong.

That fact won’t be different no matter which country you join the Knights of.

However, surprisingly, most of the articles did not have very good basic physical strength.

To be precise, it would be correct to say that the potential of the body was imbalanced compared to the ability to actually use it.

Originally, just swinging a sword, shooting a bow, and riding a horse could be said to be sufficient physical training.

The problem is that most of them use mana and special energy called ‘Aura’.

Knights do not wield weapons with simple brute force. If that was the case, it wouldn’t make sense for a female knight with a body like Xianne’s to wield a one-handed sword freely.

Right now, the main weapon of the Black Lion Knights is the great sword.

Basically, even though there was a major flaw in his personality, his power was certain.

Looking at him as if he were wielding a broomstick the size of his body, sometimes I wondered if the head of the administration I knew was real.

However, this meant that when auras were in an environment where they couldn’t use mana, their power was severely limited.

What if the special energy of the dungeon, the unique effect of the monster, or the mana and aura are sealed for any reason?

A knight who only focused on mana and aura will fall into the position of a slightly stronger soldier.

So weight training is important. At least, you have to work hard even with basic physical training.

Even if such a situation comes, you can cover it with strength.

“Then let’s rest for five minutes and move on to the next exercise.”

“Whoa, whoa…… Yes…… !?”

“Then you thought this would end? There are still two more exercises left for the lower body routine.”

“I am an administrator…… !!”

Barbara looked at me with the thought that she was going to die, but I tried to get past her gaze.

Isn’t this Barbara, who quickly went viral after riding a horse for a few minutes last time? She was the one who needed physical training more than anyone else.

“No.”

“Heeuk… ….”

When Barbara sternly refused, she cried.

It’s useless to blow off the offensive of cuteness.

It must be getting warmer as well.

That’s the perfect weather for exercising.
