Regressor of the Fallen Family novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Hey, hey you.

Hmm?

*Choking sounds* How dare you, a slave, act so impudently.

What?

No matter how much the young master favors you *heavy breathing* A slave should know their place.

The enormous mans face looked like he would pass out from lack of breath as he started trouble with Victor.

With an incredulous look, Victor glanced back at the large man and then turned his head towards Kai.

As soon as Kai sighed and nodded,

*Pow!*

Victors fist buried itself into the mans belly.

Ah, ugh

The large man doubled over, barely able to groan.

Shut your foul mouth, you lump of flesh. Or next time, Ill twist your waist backwards.

A soft voice clearly echoed around. And as Victor turned to look around, the trainees hastily averted their eyes, causing Logan to let out a smirk. This brief incident confirmed something.

There was a second reason for bringing Victor

This will be smooth sailing.

Now that Logan had begun earnestly building up the familys military might, Victor was the most reliable card to wield that power.

Feast to your hearts content. Just dont let it interfere with the next training session.

After the brutal training session, a feast of simple foods awaited them: bread and soup in abundance, though there were no fine gourmet dishes.

Wow!

The best!

Look, theres even meat in the soup!

For the mostly pauper-born trainees, it was a feast like no other. They marveled even at the small bits of meat in the vast quantities of soup.

The trainees began to devour mounds of bread and soup piled on their wood utensils, the stress from the first training session melting away.

And then,

Eat plenty.

With a bow,

among the servants distributing the feast, was a small blue-haired girl who looked to be about ten years old. Her devastating cuteness captured the hearts of many.

Is she an angel?

So cute!

Look at her eyes! Theyre so pretty.

Many trainees felt a warm breeze in their weary hearts, soothing themselves with the thought that theyd made the right choice becoming soldiers. Of course, the girl was older than ten, but her appearance was truly that of a young child, and the trainees found it endearing.

I want to pinch those cheeks.

I want to kiss her.

Some expressed excessive affection, but then, *Bang!*

Turn your eyes away, before I gouge them out.

With blue hair and heterochromatic eyes similar to the girls, a boys threatening voice deterred them from any further action. The training for the soldiers seemed to be progressing without a hitch.

* * *

Training continued, designed to test the recruits mettle and perseverance.

Enduring simply forming lines and columns for twelve long hours was torturous, yet it served as a test of extreme endurance, breaking down the soldiers.

However, most recruits came from families who struggled to survive, and for them, this place offered a warm bed and sufficient food, making it a place they could never give up easily. Thus, there were hardly any dropouts from training.

Is it tough?

No, sir!

If its too hard, you can give up. Go home and rest.

No, sir!

I like your attitude. Now, two more laps!

Did I hear no reply?

Yes, sir!

Even during grueling training, the eyes of the trainees gleamed fiercely.

Even the frail ones staggering on the verge of collapse gritted their teeth and completed the training.

The basic physical fitness of the trainees seems to have been established.

Already?

They are well-fed and rested, and as you ordered, daily showers and hygiene management are in place. Its only natural they progress swiftly with such luxurious training.

Pleased with Kais report, Logan nodded.

Any troublemakers?

Theyre getting used to the training, so if there are any, theyll stand out soon.

Right. At this stage, itd be nice if one stood out.

You mean as an example?

Yes. Itll make things easier going forward.

It would.

The two shared a smile, having devised the grueling training. Indeed, there were troublesome elements among the trainees, but not quite as theyd expected.

* * *

The expression lacking common sense describes someone who lacks the basic decency expected of any person. Although its not common to find someone truly devoid of such basic concepts, there are a few whose behavior qualifies them as lacking all common sense. Most people would refer to these types as mad, evil, perverse, or trash.

Cowell, who came from a village near the southern mountains close to Maclaine Castle, was such an individual. His main problem was his perversionhe was sexually attracted to young girls. His decision to join the cadets was to avoid being driven out of his village for his deviant behavior.

To Cowell, even young Victoria, who appeared to be no more than ten, was just a girl.

Moreover, here, there was no father to discipline him, no village elders to admonish him.

Shes just a kid, right?

Shes a girl.

Mad! You know shes that monsters sister, right?

If it goes well, its good for both of us. And what can that scrawny little monster do to me? Cant you see my size?

Youve really lost your mind

Laughing off his friends comment, Cowell proceeded to carry out an action hed been considering for weeks.

Whos there?

How about you come over there with me for some fun?

As the burly man blocked the way and uttered something strange, Victoria instinctively recoiled.

But then she remembered that showing fear only encouraged such men, and she tried to appear bold.

What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Its nothing much. Just that we could be friends who take care of each other.

I dont need that. My brother takes good care of me already.

Aah, Victor? I know him. But whats wrong with one more brother?

I dont like it. I only need my one brother! Now, please step aside!

Despite her fear, there was no hesitation in her clear voice.

That resolute attitude is mistaken by the pervert, as her zeal for a pure heart, ignites a flame within him.

What did you say

Please let me pass, mister!

Victorias loud plea snaps the remnants of Cowells restraint.

Mister?! Is that what you call me!

*Slap!*

Ah!

Oh, whoops. Sorry about that. Thats because you didnt listen to your big brother.

Cowell smacked the childs cheek and rambled as though it was a genuine accident. But, to Victoria, who was now terrified of him, he was nothing but fear incarnate.

I dont want this!

Frightened, Victoria retreated while crouching.
