Chapter 11 – The Value of Money Earned Through Sweat

[Additional rewards will be provided.]

* ‘Purchasable items’ at sponsor stores would be expanded by one level.

* Promotional banner (1 hour) would be provided!

‘A promotional banner?’

Henry tilted his head.

When you reach 10 subscribers.

The ‘Sponsorship Shop’ was opened as ‘Stage 1 Goal Reward’.

‘I expected that the variety of products would increase, but what is a promotional banner?’

Of course, it was a gift with the Archmage’s intentions.

But I couldn’t guess what it was just by looking at the name.

Tap – Touch the message.

[It is a type of sign that can be hung for an hour.]

A friendly explanation popped out.

‘It’s a sign!’

This time, even Henry could understand.

It seems that there were many wizards who did not know the existence of this ‘broadcast’.

It was an item that helped as many wizards as possible to keep an eye on them by putting up a sign.

‘It will definitely be of great help.’

The amount of donations and the number of subscriptions were proportional to the number of wizards watching.

I didn’t know how effective it would be, but if you use it well, you could achieve significant results.

‘In that case.’

Henry turned his attention back to the sponsor store.

[Level 2 items can be purchased!]

[Level 2 Talent Bead (Cycle): KRW 378,000]

* Could only be used after learning level 1 [Cycle].

‘As expected.’

Henry internally cheered.

Level 2 Talent Orb.

It meant that I could develop the talent I acquired today to the next level.

‘The problem is price and efficiency, right? It’s 378,000 won. ‘It’s four times the level 1 talent.’

What if the efficiency was similar?

You should be able to purchase it without hesitation.

‘But I don’t know.’

It was clear that Henry himself did not had any talent related to mana.

Then, this means that other talents must be purchased ‘without exception.’

[Level 1 Talent Bead (Released): 99,000 won]

[Level 1 Talent Bead (Maintained): 148,000 won]

[Level 1 Talent Bead (Binding): 48,000 won]

… …

I flipped through the list.

There were six types of level 1 beads containing the talent of mana utilization, including the [Cycle] that had already been purchased.

The total price was about 500,000 won.

but.

[Level 1 Talent Bead Bundle]

[499,000 won → 439,000 won]

[You already own beads.]

[Discount applies.]

Fortunately, there was a bundled product here.

***

Vallaran, the kingdom of knights.

The first king who founded Henry’s homeland was one of the bravest knights.

“It is said that it was a habit to say. It was the most noble thing to be able to stand in front of everyone. I heard that the nobles of the time were always asked where they were on the battlefield.”

Honor comes from bravery.

That expression was what the first king loved most.

Therefore, in reality, the knights of the time were closer to ‘warriors’ than ‘knights.’

However, after the death of the founding king.

When the son ascended to the throne, times had changed.

The war was not for survival, and the people enjoyed peace, even if it was unstable.

“It was during that period that chivalry was first established.”

The second king did not prioritize only the bravery of his subordinates. Because armed forces were not the only thing needed for a stable country.

As time passed, there were many trials and errors.

The chivalry that Henry learned and practiced now was quite different from that of 300 years ago.

[Pyaaa… … Medieval mulberry is filling up… … ]

[When was the Academy created??]

“The Academy has a history of nearly 100 years.”

[haha, an academy full of history and tradition]

[So in fact, aren’t all the current knights from here??]

[It must be difficult to compare it to academic ties haha]

“Academic ties… Yes, that’s right. I understand that more than half of the current knights in Vallaran studied at the academy.”

[Are there any other cases?]

“According to the law of the kingdom, nobles who are earl or higher can be appointed knights ex officio.”

Even among the same nobles, their prestige changed from the count level.

From the size of the castle that could be built, the area of ​​the territory given, the number of soldiers that could be trained, and the presence or absence of knighthood rights.

The reason for the difference was that they were ‘King’s Knights’.

“The founding king bestowed the title of earl or higher to the knights he personally commanded, and that tradition continues to this day.”

Of course, the world was different now than it was back then.

War was rare, and it was even more so for ordinary nobles to stand on the battlefield.

However, its meaning was something that even the king could not dare to touch.

[Kyahaha, the king’s knight haha]

[So is it still possible to become a noble these days?? Ordinary knights?]

[Does this mean it can only be done on your own? Is that right?]

The wizards who were listening with interest asked questions.

That was exactly what Henry was trying to say.

“That’s right. Only knights can receive titles in Vallaran, and no matter how great your achievements are, if you’re not a knight, you can’t become a noble.”

That’s why Henry desperately clung to the academy.

Enduring all kinds of ridicule and contempt, with the sole intention of raising Viscount Camilton.

[The knight was a viscount, right? Can’t a viscount hire a knight?]

[That’s right. So you can’t even raise private soldiers? Can’t you just write a knight?]

“It is impossible to ordain a commoner as a knight. However, it is possible to appoint someone who is already active as a knight. A viscount is also a noble.”

[But if only knights can become nobles, won’t wizards object??]

“Oh, that’s it.”

For a moment, Henry was taken aback.

The opponent was a wizard.

This question may had been asked out of a dark state of the world, but it was something that could cause discomfort.

“Actually, I can only give you a title, and Vallaran never treats wizards poorly. Also, as far as I know, Heinrich, the court wizard….”

Henry explained.

What they say was that only knights were given titles, and in fact, the treatment of wizards was no different from that of nobles.

In particular, all kings throughout history had lavished support on the Magic Tower, and many wizards were more interested in magical achievements than in such honor.

“Also, when the safety of wizards is threatened on the battlefield, the knights are willing to sacrifice their lives….”

[lol]

[Ah~~~ Someone provoked our driver!!!!]

[It’s so funny to be scared haha]

[Is this really the concept? I don’t think so?]

The wizards calmed Henry down.

After paying a little more attention, Henry was able to return to normal conversation.

“That’s why I told you that you must become a knight. Also, trainees who achieve outstanding results at the academy will be given priority opportunities for merit in the future.”

[Didn’t you say there would be no war??]

“It’s okay if you’re not a major. In any matter, if it helps the kingdom, you can get credit for it.”

For example, exterminating monsters that threaten a specific territory, or going one step further and subduing monsters’ nests.

Even if it wasn’t a war with another country, there were many places where knights could be active.

[Then what is the test like? Swordsmanship?]

[Not a swordsmanship that uses mana?]

“There are various types of tests. A comprehensive evaluation is conducted at the end of each semester, but it is not the most important test. All tests, scheduled or unannounced, have a significant impact.”

[So you can escape from that barn?]

[It would be really impressive just to get out of there haha]

[It’s not like that anymore, is it? I’m using mana now haha]

[So when is the first test? Are you going to take some classes?]

“The first exam is scheduled right after the semester starts.”

Trainees at the academy had to take an exam once at the end of the semester and once at the beginning of the semester.

The reason I had to take it twice in such a short period of time was to prepare in case the performance at that time was a fluke or my condition was not good.

[LOL It was really a tutorial]

[That’s right LOL You can’t even get to grade F without that test LOL]

[Now that I think about it, the accommodations were specially made LOL]

[So the test is right after the vacation?]

“Yes, it will be taken as soon as the semester starts. So, there are two days left, including today.”

A test that had little meaning to other trainees.

But for Henry, who was at the bottom, it was an opportunity he could not miss.

Because the entire semester was determined depending on what starting point you made.

‘It will definitely go up.’

At the very least, if it shows that you could now handle mana, the situation would be much better than it was now.

So the important thing was.

‘It will go up, but by how much.’

It was the extent of the change that would occur.

It was obvious that the better the grades, the better.

The best option given to Henry at the moment was also clear.

[Level 1 Talent Bead Bundle (Mana)]

[499,000 won → 439,000 won]

[You already own the beads.]

[Discount applies.]

‘You must buy that. Before taking the test.’

To did this, the broadcasting performance must be sufficiently improved.

Luckily for Henry.

[Apply promotional banner.]

[Applied immediately! The effect lasts for one hour!]

There was a gift from the Archmage that I received as a secondary additional reward.

***

‘Is it really effective?’

Less than 30 minutes after applying the banner, Henry could keenly feel its effects.

And it wasn’t just the promotional banners that were effective.

“We’ll start right away.”

Physical training that I had been doing consistently for some time.

The sight of Henry training the exact number of exercises set a fire in the hearts of some viewers.

“Yes, I still have stamina left.”

They said it was a mission.

A method of presenting specific conditions and paying an appropriate price when they were achieved.

Of course, Henry had no reason to refuse.

“Let’s begin.”

Donations were steadily accumulating.

Henry fulfilled his mission while trying hard to hide his joy.

Originally, it would had ended with just repeating the training we had been doing every day, without any conditions.

Now Henry even had a great helper.

[Knight!!! It’s better to show that you’re having a bit of a hard time!!!]

“I’m not having a hard time at all….”

[Don’t say anything!!! This is manager chat!! Only the driver can see it!!!]

[me too… … There is… … ]

[Poporijang is right… … If you’re having a hard time, I’ll give you more… … ]

Thanks to the two managers, Henry was able to understand the psychological state of the wizards who were pouring in donations.

‘You said you wanted to see me tired. I don’t know why.’

“Well, I think we’ve reached our limit.”

“I will.”

The managers were right again!

Henry acted with moderate intensity, the wizards were satisfied, and satisfaction once again led to positive results.

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Is it Energizer??????]

[The broadcast concept is really cool haha]

[!!!Concept notice!!! Henry Camilton. He is a first-year trainee at Vallaran Royal Academy and strictly adheres to his character concept. According to the setting, there is no talent to handle mana… … ]

[Are you really doing it yourself?? Isn’t the character moving???]

[Wow, they’re doing it again haha]

[Please show a lot of love to our driver!!!!!]

The chat window response was truly explosive.

There were expressions of doubt about whether he was born or not, but Henry quietly carried out the given mission perfectly.

and.

[The promotional effect has ended.]

When the one-hour promotional banner had ended.

[Subscriptions: 102]

[100 subscribers reached!]

[‘Subscription’ 3rd goal achieved! You can receive additional compensation.]

[Holding donations: 121,000 won]

Henry succeeded in achieving the above results.

[This article’s stamina is amazing!]

[The value of the money earned through sweat haha]

[ㄹㅇI think this is similar to loading and unloading parcels haha]

The mission ended around the same time as the promotional effect ended.

Henry wiped the sweat running down his face.

It was not an exaggeration to say that I almost take a bath in sweat.

But surprisingly, rather than feeling the slightest bit tired, Henry even felt refreshed.

In fact, when I only looked at the intensity of training, I felt like I was still lacking.

however.

‘We should stop here.’

Didn’t the managers recommend it?

Did only the set number of exercises, but increase the amount of training only when a mission comes.

‘I also said that we could expect a similar trend in swordsmanship training.’

It’s a heartwarming situation just imagining it.

“Now we will move to the training ground.”

[!!!notification!!! Swordsmanship training content begins at 4 PM!]

Chat window manager.

After confirming that ‘Poporijang’ had explained with good timing, Henry climbed the stairs of the parade ground.
