However, that feeling of shock was only temporary.
For the Trainer, he didn't care about a 'Princess Knight' at all.
Even if a true princess became a 'Princess Knight', it wouldn't change the inherent nature of that thing.
What's more, he was no longer part of the national army; he was now a private armed force affiliated with the Glenbagen Family.
No matter how that thing changed, it wouldn't affect him.
So there was nothing to care about.
"So this is what happened? Thank you for informing me, General."
After calming the slight ripples in his heart, the Trainer thanked Aboer with an indifferent expression.
"It's a bit disappointing. I was going to describe the princess's situation to you, but it seems you're not interested."
Aboer said with some disappointment upon seeing the Trainer's indifferent expression.
"Never mind, we'll talk about the inspection this afternoon... I'm a bit tired from coming from the city. I'll go rest first."
After Aboer finished speaking, he completely ignored the Trainer, stood up, and walked towards the guest room.
The several maids who had been standing behind Aboer also followed him out of the living room.
The Trainer watched them leave the living room, then also got up and left the house specifically for guests.
...
At noon, after eating, Liens and Ben followed the crowd to the medical examination area—the large classroom.
A long line had already formed there.
The training intensity was increasing, and everyone wanted to quickly finish the physical examination process and then go back to rest.
Since it was already the fourth physical examination, everyone was very skilled. As soon as one person finished, the next person immediately entered the classroom without any delay.
The process was quick. When it was Liens's turn, he also quickly completed the procedure.
However, just as Liens was about to leave the large classroom, he was called out by Marvin. Ben, who was next in line, also stopped his steps, which were about to enter the classroom.
"Liens, have you experienced any abnormalities or discomfort recently?" Marvin asked Liens with concern.
Two months had passed, and Marvin had administered medication to Liens multiple times.
However, after long-term observation, he hadn't found any abnormal situations on Liens.
This made him a little anxious.
Because this completely did not align with his expectations.
Logically, after taking so many drugs that affect the mind, whether the effect is good or bad, something should appear.
For example, the other experimental subjects Marvin had chosen before had shown certain degrees of mental abnormalities.
Unfortunately, these experimental subjects were all killed by Leinajin for resisting training.
This prevented his experimental observation from continuing, but from the bodies of several people, he still analyzed some specific reasons for this effect.
"Uncomfortable places? Let me think... It seems there's nothing abnormal. Besides being overly tired from training, I haven't felt any other unusual bodily sensations."
Liens showed a thoughtful expression and answered Marvin truthfully and seriously.
Although he answered this way, he did indeed have some problems with his body.
It was precisely because of these physical problems that he had temporarily stopped trying to probe Marvin in the 'Dungeon' before.
Liens originally thought that the problems with his body were self-inflicted.
But now, hearing Marvin's question, he began to suspect that this old man had ambushed him.
Of course, no matter whether his guess was true, he couldn't tell Marvin the truth.
"Teacher Marvin, was there anything wrong with my examination just now? If so... please be sure to inform me."
Liens showed a worried expression at the appropriate time and asked Marvin sincerely.
"No problem... I just saw that you weren't in good condition and thought you had a physical problem."
"For a child as serious and polite as you, I hope you can graduate alive."
Marvin explained to Liens with a smile, intending to seize the opportunity to gain Liens's favor.
"I will survive... I will." Liens declared seriously to Marvin.
This declaration was not for Marvin to hear, but an encouragement to himself.
After speaking, Liens bid farewell to Marvin and turned to leave the examination classroom.
However, the two of them would likely meet again soon in the 'Dungeon'.
...
After the midday physical examination, Liens and Ben returned to the dormitory and lay down on their respective beds.
The number of Trainers was decreasing, but the Training Camp did not require them to consolidate and reassign dormitories, still maintaining the original arrangements.
This led to some dormitories being crowded, nearly full, while others were already empty.
As for Liens's dormitory, only Liens and Ben remained. The other two in the dormitory had also died during the two months of training.
White space.
Standing in this vast white space, a sense of ease couldn't help but arise in his heart. Although he had only entered here to rest in the morning, he still felt as if it had been a long time since he had been here.
Liens knew this was his attachment to the 'Dungeon'; only here could he truly relax.
He didn't have to pretend to please someone he disliked, nor did he have to suppress the violent desire for slaughter within him.
Yes, the problem with him now was that uncontrollable desire for slaughter.
Previously, Liens thought he was just psychologically abnormal because he had died too many times and killed too many people.
Although those deaths and killings were just realistic illusions enacted by the 'Dungeon'.
But precisely because of this, the difference between the 'Dungeon' and reality exacerbated his sense of detachment from reality.
Someone he had slit the throat of with a sword in the 'Dungeon' not long ago later whipped him with a whip.
An object that could be freely tortured and killed in the 'Dungeon' needed to be defeated by the other party in reality.
That psychological gap made Liens feel the urge to explode at all times.
[I want to kill those guys, I want to kill everything in front of me.]
When this thought appeared in his mind, Liens was also startled.
He felt that it might be due to his long-term self-concealment in reality, making his 'Dungeon' self and his real self behave like a dual personality, which led to the emergence of this thought.
But he was not a dual personality after all. The various behaviors in reality and the 'Dungeon' were just different reactions of his current personality to different situations.
Memories were interconnected.
It was just that there was no threat in the 'Dungeon', so he behaved more authentically, while in reality, he needed to wear a mask to survive.
Sometimes, Liens also asked himself why he hid his strength?
His answer to himself was—to survive, and to live freely even after leaving this place.
Although showing his strength might gain the Trainer's attention, and even possibly the attention of the Glenbagen Family.
But compared to the attention of these people, what he wanted more was freedom, true freedom.
Therefore, in order to gain freedom, he still needed to continue to hide himself and continue to show his obedience in front of those people.
After realizing he had psychological problems, Liens chose to adapt and try to control that desire for slaughter.
Perhaps he really was psychologically abnormal.
Although he was startled by his thought of wanting to kill everyone, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
This stemmed from Liens's continuous killing behavior in the 'Dungeon' and the Sword Tendency that emerged during this process—killing the target with the simplest and most direct sword techniques.
When a person's first thought upon seeing others is how to kill them with sword techniques, he will not feel that there is anything wrong with his thought of wanting to kill everyone.
The reason Liens felt he had psychological problems.
It was simply because he couldn't control that abnormal impulse, not because he felt there was anything wrong.
The world was like this, the environment was like this; if slaughter could bring him life.
He didn't mind being a little crazy.
