58 – Midterm (2)

The A-class, which decorated its first victory in a splendid way.

After that, the series of fights against Class B all ended with the male students of Class A winning.

“Can you see the way to swing the sword?”

“Because I got used to Leon’s sword… … How to say, other people’s swords look slow.”

“I thought I was like this… … ?”

The reaction of the students toward them became even hotter with each game played.

Falling into the delusion that their entrance grades were once good, their skills, which were horribly broken in mock battles, came back with a leap forward.

The eyes of the people watching the spectacle were on the lower eastern side of the bleachers,

I turned to the red-haired young man who created this scene.

“I thought the effect wasn’t a joke?”

“Hmm. When I return to my family, I will have to consult with my father and mother.”

“I’ll have to ask my mom too.”

The midterm exam for the Faculty of Engineering at the Prüg Academy lasted for a total of three days.

On the first day, a 1:1 format test,

On the second day, written and practical tests of the subjects learned so far, except Dalian,

And on the last day, there was a tournament match between the winners of the match test.

Today is the Dalian test, the first gateway.

In the gymnasium 1, where only students from Class A and Class B of each grade can enter, students from Class A of the first year showed brilliant results in a match against their opponent, Class B.

It is natural for students to be shocked.

ㅡThe next couple in order is Leon from Class 1 A and Laura Dian Rodenburg from Class A in 2nd year. The two of you, please enter the waiting room.

Eventually, at the announcement sound that resonated throughout the gymnasium, Miya, who was sitting next to Leon, tilted her head and asked.

“yes? Are you sparring with Laura-senpai?”

“It seems so.”

I roughly expected it.

There are no suitable opponents in the same first year, so I thought I would fight against the top of the second or third year.

The red-haired young man stood up, turned his back, and walked towards the first-year waiting room directly below.

“Win and come!”

“Don’t lose to Her Highness Laura!”

“If only you win, all class A wins!”

Leon laughed at the playful cheering of his friends.

“Don’t worry. Even if everyone here attacks, we can win.”

“… … .”

At his reply that it was nothing, the class A students fell silent.

“exactly… … . Maybe that guy can… … .”

At someone’s last words, the students nodded as a group.

Rumors that he had beaten a sword master who had reached an intermediate level had already spread throughout the academy.

But they didn’t know.

The fact that Leon had won the confrontation with the SS-level Awakened Orc Captain from the previous Earth, and the Sword Master who had surpassed the upper level.

***

When I entered the first grade waiting room, the wrestlers I had just seen were sitting on a bench and taking a break.

“uh?”

“what. You were next.”

When they found me, they each shook hands with a happy expression.

Among them, there were some students from Class A who had just been trained by me, who had just had a sparring, but most of them were from Class B.

“What kind of magic did you use?”

“I’ve been dealing with you in person, but it’s completely different from last week?”

“Can we also receive that special training?”

Even though they were defeated, Class B students seemed to accept it as a learning experience. I put a business smile on my lips.

“Sure. But it can be a bit pricey.”

“I’m not bragging, but we have a gold mine in our estate.”

“My family is running a large store for the 8th generation.”

Also. It’s like an academy where all the rich and famous nobles of the empire enter.

You live in families with very rotten money.

‘Unlike the idiots in Class A, most of the Class B guys are decent guys. That means… … .’

It is said that if class B students receive my special training, it could be higher than the current class A students.

If he corrected his swordsmanship slightly, he would be able to turn the tide of war at once.

Then the parents of class A students will ask for special training once more.

If the scope is extended to seniors in other classes or grades,

You can afford huge education expenses.

‘Well… … Is this too bullying?’

Even if I think about it, it’s a bit of a garbage idea. However, if you think differently, you can raise the level of students attending the Faculty of Engineering as a whole.

Now, there is only about a month left until the World Academy Exchange Conference.

Words spoken by the mad saint, Excelion Ruthfield. And according to the order that came down to me, what will happen at that time is a confirmed fact.

‘If the students can only deal with the lowest level monsters, I’ll feel a bit more at ease.’

Still, we are classmates who go to the same academy.

I take the money and prepare for the exchange meeting.

Wouldn’t this be a good thing for a sister and a good brother-in-law?

Come to think of it, the seniors killed two birds with one stone.

If you receive special training from me before going to the academy exchange meeting, you will surely get better grades than expected.

ㅡ First grade A class Leon-nim, please come up to the gymnasium right now.

While I was having a conversation with the class B students, I heard the announcement sound from a while ago.

After briefly greeting them, I moved towards the aisle leading to the gymnasium.

“Wow!”

“Sword Master! Sword Master!”

A grotesque roar reaching my eardrums.

‘I’d rather call you by name.’

It’s a bit embarrassing to keep shouting that I’m a sword master. In the days of the Awakened, all the shouts of people were “Yang Baek-ho!” because it was only

My titles such as ‘Earth’s Best Awakener’ and ‘The Only SSS Class Awakener’ were all long. Even the title of the only ‘SSS Class Awakener’ that best describes me, even without the modifier ‘only’, it was all the same.

‘Triple-S Class Awakener Yang Baek-ho!’ I, ‘SSS Class Awakener Yang Baek-ho!’ Rather than calling it, just Yang Baek-ho! It was much easier to understand and easier to hear.

However, Sword Master did not fall under the above example.

Sword Master.

Because that echo had already stimulated the knight’s soul.

Receiving warm praise from the students, I climbed onto the gymnasium and looked at the woman standing on the other side.

Black hair tied in a ponytail for ease of sparring. A voluminous body that cannot be hidden even when wearing light armor.

The main character of the world in this novel, where I was reincarnated, with a beauty comparable to Catherine’s, looks at me with her body crouching.

This subtle feeling of seeing something after a very long time.

“It’s been a while, Your Highness Laura.”

“Oh, long time no see… … . Leon… … .”

“… … ?”

‘what?’

I squinted at the sound of her drooping voice and examined her.

An attitude not like her usual.

‘Something is strange.’

I haven’t seen you in a week or so,

Why is Her Highness’s appearance strange?

I was worried about that, so I strained my eyes and looked closely.

Eyes widened as if I hadn’t slept properly. Teeth marks are clearly visible on the lips that have been bitten under stress.

Even in the meantime, it seemed that his posture was sloppy than before, as if he had not been training properly.

“majesty.”

“Yes Yes?”

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“what… … What?”

“What on earth have you been up to?”

“… … .”

To that question, Princess Laura did not answer. While frowning her beautiful brow, she lowered her eyes and stared at the ground endlessly.

‘I think something happened.’

Obvious.

There must be an incident that made her that way.

However, the incident did not appear to be related to any violence.

There was no dirt or scar on Her Highness’s jade body.

Since there would be a secret escort attached to avoid direct assassination between the princes, it should be considered that such a thing could not happen.

So what is it?

What the hell did she go through, why did she stand so precariously like a doll on the verge of being destroyed?

“Are you both ready?”

After a while, the professor who played the role of referee approached us and asked, looking at us alternately.

Her Highness and I both nodded, and the professor nodded once before raising his right arm.

“start!”

Heartbreak-!

As soon as I finished speaking, I kicked off the ground and ran towards her. Surprised by my action, Princess Laura raised her wooden sword and took a defensive stance.

Quagga each… … !

I let go of the strength she gave to her arm so that she wouldn’t let go of the wooden sword. Then, the wooden swords colliding in the air began to scatter noise around them, making a dull sound.

The shape of facing each other’s eyes with wooden swords facing each other.

Just like that, I lowered my voice so that only Her Highness Laura could hear it, then opened my mouth to ask.

“majesty. Have you been through anything bad?”

“… … .”

“Are you ignoring me?”

“Oh no! No, I’m not ignoring it… … .”

“Is it something you can’t tell me?”

“that… … .”

“majesty.”

“… … yes?”

“Previously, Her Highness the Princess helped me in the Tower of Growth.”

“that… … It’s not like that. Because I haven’t done much… … .”

“no. Wasn’t it thanks to the good guidance that I was able to reach the tenth floor quickly?”

“… … .”

In fact, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference if she hadn’t guided me.

However, he seemed to be mentally out of it, so he asked in the most soothing tone.

“If it’s hard to say, you don’t have to say it. However.”

“… … ?”

“As a motive at the top of growth, I can provide as much counseling as I want.”

I dropped her sword from that position and took a step back.

“That will be too… … The princess and I are classmates in the Tower of Growth, aren’t we?”

“ah… … .”

Her hand holding the sword trembled. Conflicting expression on whether or not to share your worries.

“… … oops… … .”

However, Her Highness,

In the end, he didn’t reveal his true feelings.

‘… … I’m not saying it’s not that far yet.’

Since I met the saintess before, I think I’ve seen her depend on me a bit.

In the end, it would mean that the distance between her is this much.

Well, we’ve been twisted since our first meeting.

It would be meaningless to deal with a girl who couldn’t even practice swordsmanship properly.

I put a very small amount of magic into the wooden sword and swung it vigorously.

Then, her wooden sword covered with magical power flies away like a lie.

A wooden sword flew powerlessly and landed on the floor of the gymnasium.

“thank you for your effort.”

“effort… … You did.”

sagging shoulders.

Looking at her sadly trembling back, I soon turned my back and walked toward the aisle I came out of.

‘It’s an action that could break the princess’s mental state at this point… … .’
