I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Public Apologies

Until I enter the classroom and sit down.

Everyone’s eyes follow me.

oh, it’s so hot

The gossip sounds even louder today.

In fact, considering what I did, it would make sense.

After a while, Leo entered the classroom.

When I glanced back at it, I thought I was going to die.

Before long, the whole class arrives in the classroom.

Duel observer Professor Ian Dexter enters with Professor Henry Wilston of the 1st class magic class.

Prof. Henry begins to explain to us whether we have asked for your understanding in advance.

“How have you been? Leo Epsilt, Louis Wallenstein. Let the two cadets come forward.”

I walk lightly

Old Leo went to the front of the classroom like a cow being led to a slaughterhouse.

“You must have seen all the previous duels. I would like to make a public apology, which was a condition of the duel, at this time, but are there any students who are dissatisfied? Maybe I should take a class… ”

Of course, no one raised their hand.

A guy who wants to make progress ahead of a fun event like this could really cling to his classmates later on.

“… Is anyone there?”

Professor Henry, looking slightly displeased, asked back.

without missing a day.

Professor Henry, who fills up classes even before vacation, didn’t like us like this.

Anyway, Professor Henry looks dissatisfied and steps back.

Professor Ian approaches me.

Looking at the paper he was holding, he asks me in an unwilling voice.

“okay… Louis Wallenstein cadet. You know that all party members, including Leo, are trying to kick you out… ”

He reads the duel application I submitted earlier.

“… Did you claim that cadet Louis was disloyal to the party for reasons of expulsion, and that saying that it was hindered by his inferior skills had disgraced you?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“And, he insisted that it was all a lie, and that the truth was the opposite.”

“Yes.”

I nodded with a more serious expression than ever.

I thought I could finally get an apology, but Professor Ian continues.

“Louis Wallenstein cadet. Don’t you think the conditions of the duel are too harsh? Showing generosity like a winner… ”

No, Professor.

Why are you all of a sudden talking bullsh*t?

Did the Epsilt family even accept money?

That’s why I didn’t put a condition on Leo’s expulsion.

Even if I was really serious about expelling him, the above would have stopped him somehow.

However, public apologies and family swords are within the acceptable range.

Of course, this is by no means easy.

Even among the classmates, people who agree with Professor Ian begin to appear.

Am I too harsh or what?

But, there is no difficulty.

“professor. Even right before the duel, the Leo cadets were publicly accusing me of being unfaithful to my party activities and that my skills were inferior.”

This was real.

how pissed off i was

“The rumors have already spread within the academy, and I think a public apology is essential to correct it.”

After hearing my answer, Professor Ian was silent for a moment.

He tells me again, a little ugly.

“Hmm… Even so, the family’s treasured sword… ”

“Everyone already knows that the family sword was put as a condition of the duel.”

I said.

“If a Leo cadet still has that sword, rumors that he did not properly fulfill the conditions of the duel will spread and the honor of the Leo cadet will be tarnished.”

At my words, Professor Ian eventually shut his mouth.

He also had an unwilling expression on his face, so it seems that Leo had asked him strongly.

Anyway, at last Professor Ian calls my former party members.

“Cadet Esther Kalt, cadet Veronica Eltwin, cadet Elin Nidia, cadet Aine, come forward.”

It’s a bit disappointing that there’s no Felice, but this is a satisfactory stage.

It was the saint who first apologized to me.

Esther bites her lip and stands in front of me trembling.

“… Why am I like you… ”

She murmurs as if in anger.

I smiled broadly at her and said it out loud on purpose.

“Maybe, was that just an apology?”

“… sorry.”

Her blushing face, holding back her anger, said to me.

Eventually, she turned around and tried to enter.

‘I can’t.’

I’ve been through something, and I’m just sorry.

“Ugh… Hopefully, that’s the end? Did you not receive proper home education?”

For reference, it is the church where the saint received home education.

she is angry

“All, you! What did you just say… ”

“No, Esther. You mean an apology, shouldn’t you at least say what you did wrong?”

As I said that, I glanced at Leo.

If you don’t do it right, it’s Leo’s honor that will be tarnished.

“Ugh… ”

Perhaps she understood the meaning, Esther stood in front of me again.

“… I apologize for spreading lies about you… ”

With anger, her voice trembles.

“What lies?”

“You, in moderation… ”

“what?”

“… The lie that you don’t participate properly in party activities and that your poor skills get in the way… So… ”

I laughed.

“Yeah, so you’re saying that’s a lie? Yeah, good job.”

I spoke to her in a tone that sounded like praising a dog for being obedient.

The saintess finally began to have tears in her eyes due to anger.

“You may go in now.”

With my permission, she went back to her seat shaking all over.

Next was Elin Nydia.

What she had just learned from Esther’s disgrace, she finished it right the first time.

“Louis Wallenstein… I’ll buy and apologize for lying that you didn’t do well in the party and your skills are low… ”

I nodded.

Seriously, the more I listened to it, the more it exploded.

I mean, my skills are poor, but it’s okay because everyone has confirmed my skills in this duel.

What, am I being insincere about party activities?

Am I the one who tried so hard to save you and stop the demon lord?

I tried to calm myself down for a moment in the anger that suddenly surged from within.

Next up was Veronica Eltwin.

I looked at her with complicated eyes.

After the duel was over, I had another fight with her.

She averts my eyes and apologizes to me.

“Louis… I apologize for lying about you, kicking you out of the party, and treating you so badly. I’m serious.”

She lowers her head and speaks in a hushed voice.

Her ears were as red as her hair.

‘Is it so embarrassing and embarrassing to apologize to me?’

Well, considering her personality, it’s natural.

Strangely, her apology was a little different from the others.

If people who don’t know our situation listen to it, it’s to the point of misunderstanding that we’re sincerely apologizing.

I wondered why, but I soon found out the answer.

‘Ah, for embarrassing Esther… !’

At first, Esther didn’t apologize properly, and it was me who kept repeating it.

As a proud Veronica, she probably didn’t want to suffer like that even if she died.

So, even if it was embarrassing, he must have made up his mind to finish it once and for all.

She enters as well, and Aine comes to apologize to me.

Aine also couldn’t meet my eyes.

She must be feeling guilty too.

As much as I trusted the most, it was Aine who felt the most betrayed.

If what I feel towards the other party members is anger.

Every time I think of Aine, I feel a little sad.

But anyway, I decided to turn my mind off about them anyway.

Why did I go ahead and betray me? There will be no clinging to it.

While I was thinking like that, Aine apologizes to me.

“Louis… really sorry. Damn, I got kicked out of the party, really… I’m really sorry… ”

Why, apples are a little weird.

I’m apologizing now, not for kicking me out of the party, but for tarnishing my reputation.

Anyway, I sent Aine back too.

Although Aine was the only apology that felt sincere.

The purpose wasn’t to get an apology anyway, it was to shame them.

And, it worked out just fine.

Look at the faces of the cadets now.

Also, the saintess who was still trembling.

This alone feels good enough, but still.

The main dish, Leo Epsylt, remains.

he stands in front of me

“… sorry.”

he sighs briefly

Also, Leo is stupid.

Did he mean that he hadn’t learned anything from seeing Esther earlier?

“Is that over?”

“… You bastard, I must have killed you… ”

“Should we duel one more time? Well, the result seems to be the same… ”

“Whew… I apologize for lying to you about not participating properly in the party activities and that you were a hindrance due to my poor skills.”

The guy says it hard.

“okay. If my skills get in the way, what the hell are you?”

Even when I laugh at him, he doesn’t say anything back.

Just like a saintess, she trembled and returned to her seat.

… go back

‘uh?’

It was so natural that I almost forgot about it.

“hey.”

Leo turns his head.

“Should I give you the sword?”

I grinned and laughed.
