Overwhelming attention

“professor! This is impossible!”

Saint Esther Kalt speaks firmly.

It was a completely different attitude from how he usually treated Leo.

Next to her now was a priest from the church.

As such, the result of this duel had a great impact.

“Um, that’s… Miss Esther? First, calm down… ”

Professor Ian Dexter standing in front of them is puzzled.

In principle, all cadets are equal in the academy.

Also, cadets must follow the instructions of the professors.

That being said, how could an ordinary professor, for example, treat a princess who is currently in her second year in a rude way?

It was unimaginable.

And that was the same story for the saint in front of me right now.

If professors of lower status can be reckless to cadets from a high-status family, there are two reasons.

One is because the cadets themselves accept it and show respect to the professor according to the rules of the academy.

The other was that the president of the academy guaranteed the authority of the professors.

So, the president was a great person.

But now, the denomination that the saint in front of me is behind.

The denomination is an organization with more power than the president of the academy.

Also, Esther had no intention of accepting the outcome of the duel meekly in accordance with the current academy rules.

For Professor Ian, there was no choice but to run out of blood.

A priest from the church says:

“Saint, you do not know what Esther means to our denomination. To say that such a saint publicly apologizes to the traitor Wallenstein and no one else… ”

As the priest warns,

“It is not just a matter of the parties involved, it is a matter of eroding the authority of the denomination. Can you afford it?”

‘Don’t ask me for that, just ask the president!’

The professor shouts inwardly.

However, in any case, the person responsible for this duel is himself.

He swallowed his anger inwardly and began to persuade the two of them.

“Well, that’s still the case… Isn’t the meaning of the hero candidate also important to the denomination?”

Even if a problem arises not only for the saints but also for the hero candidates, the authority of the denomination will be undermined.

“As you know, it is very disgraceful not to acknowledge the outcome of a duel. If that is the case, how much will the honor of the hero candidate be tarnished… ”

“It doesn’t mean you don’t admit it! I just want to exclude the saints… ”

“Wait.”

Esther restrains the priest.

After hearing that Leo’s reputation would be tarnished, she changed her mind.

“It’s okay, Priest. Can’t you help it? I will be patient and apologize to him.”

“What! Saint, this is not such a simple matter!”

“no. You can’t tarnish Leo’s reputation because of me.”

Esther was adamant.

A priest specially sent by the church to Esther who rebelled against his words…

Wait a minute, he looked at me with displeasure.

It was an instant, and no one noticed.

‘… First of all, it seems that they are thinking of the denomination.’

He was a priest with a quiet mouth.

The saint seemed to want Leo to praise her, though.

There was no big reaction from Leo.

After the defeat in the duel, it was like this.

That’s why the shock he received was enormous.

Next, it was Elin.

Originally, it was impossible for an elf in the great forest to publicly apologize to a human, such an insult to their pride.

At least as far as Louis was concerned, Elin was able to apologize to him.

At the same time, you can hate Leo for refusing an apology here.

If Leo’s reputation is tarnished by his refusal to apologize, he might hate him.

That’s never going to happen.

That’s why Elin didn’t object and accepted the public apology to Louis.

Seeing her accept the humiliation so easily, Leo looked at her suspiciously.

‘The elves of the Great Forest accept this humiliation without hesitation?’

After the duel, Louis said to himself.

Of course I thought it was a lie.

I’ve seen Elin Nidia dealing with Louis Wallenstein, so it was natural.

But the problem is, what you know about potions is yourself and the people of your family.

And, Elin Nidia was the only one.

If so, where did Guy Louie get the information?

In addition to that, today, even an attitude that doesn’t seem to care about publicly apologizing to him.

Doubts, once rooted in Leo’s heart, grew bigger and bigger.

Anyway, Aine didn’t say much after that.

In the first place, prior to the duel, they were the party members who made an oath in advance at Leo’s request.

Even if others didn’t know, Aine, who had no backbone, could not refuse.

In the case of Felice, he was not in the academy when he applied for a duel, so he was also excluded from the duel conditions.

Last but not least was Veronica.

Veronica was troubled by her conversation with Louis after the duel.

Still, she was not ready to take the first step and apologize.

Rather than using this as an excuse to apologize to him, Veronica also accepted.

In this way, everyone’s problem was solved.

… Except for Leo.

When the matter of public apology was settled first, Leo brought Professor Ian Dexter out.

It was Leo who had lost everything and everything.

“Professor, what is the deadline for fulfillment of the conditions? No, it doesn’t matter. I should hand over the sword in at least two weeks.”

Leo is just talking to himself.

The professor tries not to distort his expression and opens his mouth.

“In two weeks, after the semester is already over… ”

“If the sword is stolen! Do you think your father will stand still? If you want to keep getting money, you have to be straight!”

It wasn’t wrong, but it was a statement that crossed the line no matter how much he was the heir to the duke.

… Unless it’s the money the professor has received from the duke’s family.

Still, in the midst of trying to say at least a word.

“I can’t hand over the family’s treasured sword to Wallenstein, not to anyone else. Make a fake one as soon as possible… ”

Professor Ian blocks Leo from saying that.

Yes, because I heard footsteps.

The person who appeared before long was Professor John Hatton.

Professor John, who is relaxed as usual, and Professor Ian, who is restless as if contrasted with him.

‘Couldn’t you have overheard the conversation from just now?’

“Hmm… What is it, Professor John?”

“Ah, Professor Ian! You were here. As for this duel… ”

First of all, I don’t think I heard the conversation until now.

Professor Ian let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

Of course, what followed was disappointing.

“The details of the public apology were not coordinated in advance.”

“Eh, sure… ”

“Even if it’s a public apology, it’s not like I’m going to call all the students and make it in front of them… ”

Professor John’s eerie joke brought a cold sweat.

Starting with the denomination, the duke, the horse tower…

I don’t know what the hell is going to happen.

Professor John continued.

“Well, to be honest, the parties involved aren’t even ordinary cadets. Tomorrow, you’ll just have to apologize in class in front of your classmates in moderation.”

That’s enough, Professor Ian also thought.

However, the following conditions were unacceptable.

“Kendo, which was the remaining condition, will be passed along with an apple tomorrow.”

“Why does the professor decide that?”

Leo shouts.

His face was contemplated.

It’s only better than expulsion, but passing over the family’s treasured sword wasn’t an easy matter either.

Even if it’s Wallenstein’s heir who carries that sword.

It was clear what people would think of the Duke of Epsilt.

Professor Ian also opposes Professor John’s words.

“In such a hurry… ”

“Please note, this is not my opinion, it is the president’s opinion.”

With that said, Professor Ian gave up on everything.

Cancer, if it’s the president’s order, there’s nothing I can do about it.

Leo, who still seemed to have something to say, stopped him.

President of Helon Academy, Luisa Falken.

‘Why does that monster care about such trivial things?’

It was questionable.

Even if it was a serious matter for the parties involved, it would have been unworthy of even paying attention to the president.

Like the last party expulsion, and this duel.

Leo Epsilt, Louis Wallenstein, and other party members.

Are they the people the president really cares about?

Anyway, as long as the president was directly involved.

No matter how much money he received from the ducal family, getting involved in it was an act of suicide.

Professor Ian decided to take his hands off this duel.

Professor John and even Professor Ian leave their seats.

Left alone, Leo bites his lip until it bleeds.

‘Louis Wallenstein, I will never let you go.’

he swears ferociously

At the same time, Leo was devastated that he couldn’t see any way to crush him.

The duel is over.

Even if it’s not as bad as Leo’s expulsion, the conditions I put on his behalf are severe enough.

I was worried about what to do if the other side says that it cannot be acknowledged.

Fortunately, no such thing happened.

Yesterday, Professor John directly informed me that today’s 1st class will have the fulfillment of the condition.

I don’t know why Professor John came instead of Professor Ian, who was in charge of the duel.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter.

I was so refreshed that I left the dormitory a little earlier than usual.

Humming a hum, cheerfully opened the classroom door.

Immediately, everyone’s eyes began to pour on me.

damn it’s embarrassing

‘Oh, I’ll just come as usual. Why did you come early?’
