21. Newspaper Club Raid Case 2

As I just found out, these guys rarely seem to have fought someone as small as me.

Since I had to hold the center of gravity lower than usual, I feel that the technique is sloppy.

This is a phenomenon often seen in newcomers who lack experience.

I feel bad, but gain is gain, so let’s make the most of it.

“Two members of the Swordsmanship Research Club have already been beaten..!”

“Aren’t they bad too?”

“Hey… Yaya, drive me first..!!”

“What?! You guys don’t come!!!”

In an instant, the two members of the swordsmanship research team were killed, and the newspaper members panicked and began to rush at each other with weapons in their hands.

The Swordsmanship Research Club members, who tried to keep their distance from the sudden action of the newspaper members and attack them with diversions from both sides, were taken aback.

‘Things are getting easier.’

And it was a very good news for me.

The encirclement of the swordsmanship members, who were stealthily catching the streets, was destroyed at once.

-Suddenly!

“Ouch!!”

-Suddenly!

“Ahh!! My legs!!”

In an instant, the newspaper room became a mess.

Untrained newspapermen rushing from all sides tried to stab me, but as soon as they got within range of me, they cut my legs and knocked me over.

The collapsed newspaper member groaned in pain and became an obstacle for the other members, and I worked even harder to harvest the newspaper member’s ankles.

As the Swordsmanship Research Club members got into a melee, the Newspaper Club members were entangled and unable to wield their swords.

“This… What are these ignorant bastards doing!!”

Because if I swung my sword in this situation, it was almost certain that the newspaper staff would be cut before me.

The swordsmanship research club member, whose face turned red, cursed at the newspaper members, but the newspaper members did not listen.

“Are you going to turn a blind eye?”

-Suddenly!

“Aagh!!!”

And without missing the moment, he cut off the ankle of another member of the Swordsmanship Research Club.

No matter how messed up it is, it’s too gutsy to lose sight of it.

“Quite… I can understand what happened to Lemnos.”

The swordsmanship research team member who was left alone looked at the fallen people and broke into a cold sweat.

“Is he better than your general manager?”

“What?! How dare you put the manager in your mouth!!”

As soon as the director was mentioned, the Swordsmanship Research Department immediately struck down the sword.

It was a slash that aimed properly at my torso.

Should I block it with a cross guard while stabbing?

No.

There is still no confidence in the cross guard of this sword.

Because there are many places that make it roughly.

To be safe in this situation…

‘Let’s push on.’

-Kang!!!!!

Sparks fly as iron collides with iron.

The Swordsmanship Research Club member’s sword was blocked by the sword I was holding, so it was impossible to slash the body as it is.

The sword body slides and the back of the nose engages with each other, creating a posture for a contest of strength.

A smile appeared on the swordsmanship research club member’s face.

I’ve been avoiding it until now, but since I entered the power fight, it seems that I thought that I had won because I had a big body.

Even because of the difference in height, the Swordsmanship Research Club members took a stance from above.

You must have thought it would be the end if you put your weight on it and hit it down….

‘That’s a normal situation.’

“Ugh?? What kind of power is this strong??”

The expression of the swordsmanship research club is distorted.

I was taken aback when I didn’t get pushed back in the power struggle, but rather pushed myself.

In terms of body size, the Swordsmanship Research Club members are almost twice as tall, but they are being pushed back in the battle of strength.

I pushed my sword straight ahead and blew the swordsman research club away.

“aaah!!!!”

-Kudangtangtang!!

A member of the swordsmanship research department got stuck in the door of the director’s office and broke the door down.

Then, the head of the newspaper department, who had apparently been absent earlier, appeared leisurely sipping black tea.

I wrote an article like that and sipped tea like that, that’s it… Anger rises.

“Are you making fun of the giant pen and leaving only the kids as escorts? You have a lot of guts!”

“You bastard.. How dare you say where is this place!!!”

The person who appeared to be an escort pulled out a sword.

I’m ready to jump right in.

“Put your hands down.. If you raise a knife, your arm will be cut off.”

“Are you threatening me right now?”

“Oh, I understand. It’s okay to threaten.”

I fixed my long sword after seeing the escorts who were trying to stance right away.

It cuts right after you lift it.

“Enough.”

However, the escort finally put down the knife.

Because the head of the newspaper department raised his hand to stop it.

“Oops… All the members of the Swordsmanship Research Club are like this…. Ophelia will be angry.”

Even though the newspaper department has gone bankrupt, the head of the newspaper department is still sipping tea.

Where does leisure come from?

An escort standing by your side?

Or the position of head of the newspaper department?

Or do you really believe in your status as a count?

It’s unpleasant to be relaxed.

“Are you the head of the newspaper department?”

“Yes, I am Malcolm Dunmore, the head of the Academy Press. Earl of Dunmore, call the head of the newspaper whatever is convenient for you.”

Unusually, Malcolm Dunmore, the head of the newspaper department, is not an heir, but a real earl of the Empire who has inherited the title of count.

Because he is both a count and the head of the newspaper department, even the professors at the academy cannot treat him carelessly.

But not me.

“Such a title is excessive. You are a giraffe.”

“Giregi? What do you mean?”

“It means journalist trash.”

Dunmore’s eyes widened at the sound of the crane.

I’m angry that I’m trying to be treated properly while writing an article full of nonsense after being ordered.

It’s a waste of time to even say this when I think of the humiliation I went through after coming here.

“Ha..hahahahaha you… That’s right, the rumored dwarfs came here because of today’s article.”

“Who ordered it? It’s one of Albion, Ferda, and Phrygia. Just say that. “

“Whoa… Pretty specific. I guess there was a corner where I could catch up?”

“There is no reason to do it without these three.”

If you can use the head of the newspaper department as a limb, you are very limited.

Professors are excluded because they notice the principal or other professors.

Those who want to change the outcome of the duel while at the same time crushing Malcolm with the Count’s Suppression… They must have been nobles who lost their money through the five pillars or gambling.

However, if the newspaper department had moved because they lost their money gambling, there would have been a lot of talk about it from before.

Then the five pillars… Except for Russell, his party, Lemnos, is excluded because he has no brains to do such a thing.

Then there are only three things left… Albion, Perda and Phrygia.

Albion, who believes in the two swords of the Five Pillars, could have done it, or Phrygia, who was worried about losing the image of the Five Pillars, could have done it.

Perda’s reasons may sound strange, but that’s his ‘personality’.

All three have plausible reasons, so it’s hard to narrow it down to just one.

Or you could have done all three.

“It… I know, but are you still going to attend the academy?”

“If you didn’t know, would you have fought a duel with him?”

Malcolm’s eyes widen.

Although he knows that he has turned the five pillars into enemies, he is amazed at how confident he is.

We all know what happens when they turn against us.

The saying that the Five Pillars turn against each other means that all nobles who follow the Five Pillars turn against each other.

If you think of it as an academy, everyone in the Five Pillars faction of each class becomes my enemy.

If I were a student, I would have been nervous, shaking my limbs and sweating, but I am confident.

“Then write a correction in the newspaper tomorrow along with an apology.”

“What do you mean by correction?”

“Everything I wrote today is nonsense.”

“Yes, it is all nonsense.

But don’t you know that facts aren’t important?

You turned the five pillars into enemies.

If it were me, I would just drop out and live my life holding my breath.

It’s hard not only at the academy but also in society if you’re filmed by such people.

If you go out and hold your breath, everyone will forget.”

What Malcolm is suggesting is to keep your head down and act on the will of the person who directed you to write the article.

I pretended to be smart, but in the end, I was told to lie down.

Since the head of the newspaper department selects and sits those who know their subject matter and do not give up, the principal must have had an excellent eye.

This is why we should have had a conversation from the beginning, but the heat in our heads only made things more complicated.

Malcolm’s words are wrong from the premise.

“Hey Giregi. You are mistaken that I came here to ask you for a favor or a suggestion.”

“What… With that kind of skill, it wouldn’t be a problem to immerse me alone.

But it won’t be enough to deal with all the imperial nobles… I hope you won’t be offended by my proposal.”

I have to convince him, but the stress that has already piled up has erased the option of persuading Malcolm.

From noble mtl dot com

The curse words she heard on the way to the newspaper office, the humiliation she received at the entrance, the way she spoke as if that arrogant self were on top of her head, made her angry.

If you make it half-death, you will be persuaded on your own, but why do you have to do such a troublesome thing?

“I can’t understand the language.”

I drew my sword again.

It would be better to communicate with the sword rather than the mouth.

“Somehow safe, pull out your knife… !!”

Malcolm’s escort drew his sword again.

Earlier, he clearly declared that if he drew a knife, he would cut off her arm.

Ignored the warning and raised my sword again, so I’m going to cut it.

In an imminent situation,

In a situation where one person… No, two people would surely become an asshole, a person’s voice resounded from outside the room.

“W… Is this the newspaper section… !!”

It was a woman’s voice that trembled.

I, the head of the newspaper department, and the escort, who were about to cut off the palm branches immediately, turned their heads toward the person talking to the messed up newspaper department with bewildered expressions.

She had her eyes closed.

Her eyes were tightly closed and her face flushed red, she was speaking her opinion as best she could in the newspaper room.

“That… That stupid article… What the heck… !! Atlas didn’t… Cheat! Such… False articles as the Five Pillars.. Are unacceptable..!!!”

Perhaps it was because she was nervous, she stuttered a bit and expressed her opinion slowly but surely.

“Russell?”

“Uh… ?? “

As I said absent-mindedly, she appeared in the stale newspaper room, Lucia Russell, opened her eyes and looked at me.

“Uh… Uh?? W.. The newspaper is out of business here… Right..?”

It was only then that Lucia saw the messed up newspaper department.

“How…”

Malcolm’s expression changed when he saw that one of the Five Pillars, Russell of the Rock, had come to the newspaper department directly to defend me.
