Try To Bring Understanding To Them
Rosa would gladly face Garlan, but she would not be consumed by that desire. Since the beginning of their training, she had been observing Garlan's movements, which left her in awe. Few movements were like those during training sessions with other soldiers, and every strike could bring opponents to their knees.Rosa had to find a good method to launch her attacks.Their eyes remained locked on each other for over a minute, creating a sense of curiosity about why neither of them had moved since earlier.But, that wouldn't last forever. Rosa bravely ran forward, positioning herself to strike.Garlan's foot moved to the side, avoiding her attack. Rosa's eyes tracked Garlan's hand movements as it swung.Tack...As expected, a sudden attack was launched, and fortunately, she had anticipated it.Garlan was quite surprised by Rosa's ability to predict the arrival of his sword, but the pressure was still too much to bear.Rosa's breath felt heavy, and she didn't expect that merely holding off

Try to understand the current situation
The atmosphere felt uncomfortable; the girl in front of Garlan remained silent."Do you have time...""Uh... yes..." How could she refuse Garlan's invitation?They then sat on the available bench, with Rosa intentionally standing beside the bench to acknowledge her position as a cadet.It was inappropriate to sit near a respected officer, and she felt embarrassed."Why are you standing? Don't you want to sit?"Rosa remained silent for a moment, not knowing why there was a mysterious aura around Garlan's face that seemed to envelop her."What's with this girl?" Garlan received no response, so his hand took the initiative to pull from left and right.Rosa blinked a few times, appearing as though she was jolted back to reality, realizing her foolishness in front of Garlan."Are you okay?""I'm okay..." Just like Garlan's words, Rosa then sat on the bench, though her position was at the end of the bench.It couldn't be denied this might be the behavior of someone who was still nervous. Ga

Making Decisions For Times Like These
Everything had changed, a day that was so precious to Rosa, as she could gain direct trust from Garlan.She was also proud that Garlan had admitted her as a knight."I cannot be lazy; I must prove myself..."In the following days, Rosa continued her rigorous training, even more disciplined than usual.The other cadets felt there was something unusual about this woman; she was more masculine than most of the people there.Even the soldiers didn't dare to tease or simply talk to her, as many of them suffered heavy defeats during training.All of this culminated at the end of the 4th month, which marked the graduation time for the cadets. Those who survived would soon be ordered to report to the palace for their positions as soldiers.They would be selected based on observations during their training. They thought those soldiers were only trained, but that was not the case. They had been watched, starting from their thought process, mental training, and readiness for when battles occurre

Troublesome Stubbornness
Today, it seemed like the weather was supporting her spirit, impatiently wanting to know the decision of the palace. She couldn't stop thinking about the figure of Garlan, who would be her mentor.At the palace gate, two guards were standing as usual, but upon closer inspection, these men appeared different from the guards from the day before, and their faces seemed unfamiliar."Is there a problem, Miss?" one of the guards asked with a stern demeanor."Hmm... I want to know if the selection announcement for new recruits has been completed," Rosa inquired.The meaning of the girl's words was not entirely understood, and it required the two guards to exchange glances."Are you a candidate for the new recruits?" the guard on the left asked."Yes, I have undergone special training!" Rosa replied.Both guards didn't know how to respond; they felt Rosa's claim a bit strange."Miss, are you deliberately lying to us?" the first guard asked."No, I'm not lying! I have genuinely completed the t

You should be more patient in dealing with problems like this
"General..."Garlan looked in the direction of the soldier who was shouting too loudly in the middle of his concentration on taking down the report."What's the matter? You're disturbing me!""I'm sorry... I just received a report of a disturbance at the palace gate...""A disturbance? Is there an attack?""Yes, a woman attacked one of the soldiers."Garlan squinted his eyes upon hearing this. It seemed odd to hear about a woman attacking armed soldiers. But, it was still possible.Everyone fell silent after witnessing the moment when an armored soldier fell with a sword drawn in front of his neck."How about it? Do you understand?" Rosa asked sharply."Yes, I admit defeat..."The referee began to realize the fight was over. He quickly raised his right hand and shouted, "The winner is this woman..."The residents were confused. Why did this confrontation between two individuals seem staged?At that moment, the palace gate suddenly opened, and more soldiers emerged, fully armed."Every

All readiness to accept punishment must be carried out
Rosa felt like she wanted to disappear from this place; she truly didn't know what to say."What have I been doing all this time? Why am I still not understanding the situation? I should have been looking forward to that...""Judging by your actions this time, it seems like you have lacked trust in me!"Rosa's facelifted with her eyes widening spontaneously."No, I didn't mean it like that!"Garlan's palm opened wide as a sign to stop her from speaking further."Uh..." There were no more words she could say; she could only lower her head, lamenting all of this."You should know this situation is pretty bad! But, I can understand that your wild nature can still be tamed. However, you must undergo various training procedures to become the warrior we desire!"Rosa completely did not understand Garlan's words. At this moment, all she wanted was for her apology to be accepted and to promise not to do something like this again.It felt very difficult to explain all of this. She had been hon

As Long As It Enters Punitive Measures
"Finally, I can use my abilities seriously, after months of holding back! But why do I feel such a strong pressure from his body? It's not like when facing General Garlan, the pressure is much smaller, but..."It's like a warning signal for others to retreat, and it can erode someone's mental state before a fight.In one-on-one combat, intimidation is a crucial factor. Many things can lead to victory, one of them being the use of fear in their opponent.Understanding this feeling, Rosa won't back down. Her steps moved slightly forward, making the soldier in front of her more alert."All right, the duel begins..." The head soldier gave the signal.Everyone remained tense, and the two didn't immediately launch an attack.It's understandable; those who have fought frequently will give each other some time to think about their actions.But in a situation like this, one of them had to move.The first to step forward was the soldier, his footsteps continuing into a slashing motion.Swings..

There are many things that have to be obligated
The struggle has been so long that it has led to quite extreme actions. Those who oppose or spread false information will be executed in front of the entire population.Many have received this punishment - noble families who opposed, those who engaged in corrupt acts, or spread coup plans.They were all executed brutally by the soldiers, and the people who witnessed it, of course, were terrified. They began to believe that Elisa's government would not be any better.They believed the words of a few people who spread rumors were indeed true. Elisa's side deliberately bought people's trust through temporary kindness, and when the time came, they would spread terror.Accusations of hatred continued to be made, but many people were afraid to protest.Execution awaited those who did. Finally, several months passed, and during these last few months, Elisa's words turned out to be true.The citizens felt there was no increase in taxes, no slavery system, and no favoritism towards the nobilit

Time To Walk In Tune With The Circumstances
It truly sounded painful, Rosa had come to realize that. From the very beginning, she hadn't thought about anything else; after becoming a soldier, she wanted to become the strongest figure so there wouldn't need to be any more agonizing wars for the common people.However, upon learning this fact, she felt that her honesty in doing all this had to be reevaluated.Sacrificing her life for a leader called a king had never crossed her mind. In her thoughts, a leader should fight alongside others to protect the land.Only now did she realize that Garlan also wasn't the king who once ruled over the entire territory."So, is General also serving someone?"It was important for her to know this. She knew that Garlan was not someone who liked to be tied down to something. It would be strange if Garlan was there only to gain power."For now, I am protecting the leader of this land. In truth, I am not from this region! I am a wanderer trying to find a suitable place to stake my life, and here I

The Experience of the First War That Should Have Been Waited For
"I'm glad if Miss Rosa is the one sent to help defeat the enemy!"A meeting was held as soon as Rosa arrived at this fortress, to catch her breath before anything else could be done.But Rosa also understood that her purpose from the beginning wasn't just to arrive; she didn't want to make any mistakes. Furthermore, this was her first experience with warfare, and even a meeting like this was something unusual for her."So, how is the situation?""As you can see, we are currently preparing to withstand the enemy's attack.""So, the enemy hasn't attacked yet?""No, they already have! But it was a small-scale attack, and we managed to hold them off."Rosa's eyes narrowed, and the man in front of her appeared even more somber than before. Her gaze delved deep into his face."What happened?" she asked with determination."A few days ago..." He took out a scroll and handed it to Rosa. "We received this scroll, and they threatened to do this if we didn't surrender."After reading it, it was
