18. The freshman is too strong (2)

The moment Cain and the 2nd year boy were about to fight.

Same time, different place, the campus promenade of Bern Academy.

In this place, only 100m away from the cafeteria, Edwin, the head of the student council and the first crown prince. His secretary was talking about two certain freshmen.

Of course those two are. As soon as the entrance ceremony was held, Cain and Lia became public enemies of the 2nd and 3rd years.

Edwin smiled lightly as he recalled the two faces he had seen in the student council room a few hours ago.

“Rowen. Aren’t the representatives of freshmen this time so bold?”

From noble mtl dot com

How bold he was, he made hundreds of enemies in less than half a day after the entrance ceremony.

A new type of talent that has not been seen even in the Imperial Palace, where talented people who say that they have the ability to make so many enemies with just a few words.

So Edwin was actually feeling a strange interest in Cain and Leah.

“Okay. In my eyes, it seemed more arrogant than bold.”

His secretary. Rowen replied in his characteristic brusque tone. In response to her cynical and simple freshman evaluation, Student President Edwin raised one corner of his mouth and smiled.

“It’s cheeky. Um, that’s right Now, a freshman who has just entered the academy calls seniors like the sky as evil forces and refers to liquidation? It’s quite arrogant and outrageous behavior.”

“Are you saying that you lie down and spit on something like this?”

“Rowen, what does that mean?”

Edwin asked with a sudden serious expression. But Rowen didn’t care and gave Edwin a chin.

“One of the things that Edwin strongly pushed for as soon as he became student president was the liquidation of the evil forces, right? Surely you haven’t forgotten in a while, have you?”

“What, it’s already been a year. Did you still remember that?”

“You used that agenda as bait to appoint me as your secretary, and I will never forget that.”

“Ah, that was true.”

At the words of Edwin, who muttered as if it was not a big deal, he squirmed. Rowen’s eyebrows vibrated lightly.

Edwin, not noticing the small change, looked at the bunch of flowers on the promenade.

“Rowen, what do you think?”

“The flowers seem to resemble me, so I think they are very pretty.”

Rowen replied bluntly. Edwin chuckled.

“No, not these flowers. The freshman representatives who entered this time.”

“Because he doesn’t even know his subject matter and insists strongly on the eradication of accumulated corruption, it seems that many parts overlap with last year’s chairman. I think it’s pretty cheeky.”

“Your attitude towards the crown prince is very disrespectful. Rowen, get her on her knees right there and kiss the top of my foot.”

Rowen approached Edwin, expressionless, and she grabbed him by the collar. Then he brought his lips close to him and tried to kiss him, but Edwin put his index finger on Rowen’s forehead and pushed him away.

“The top of my foot is not on the top of my neck, Rowen.”

“Oh, is that so? I saw something as dirty as the instep in front of my eyes, so I stopped without realizing it.”

Edwin tidied up the collar of his school uniform and changed the subject of conversation.

“So, stop kidding. What do you really think? The eradication of corruption strongly advocated by the freshmen representatives is what we couldn’t do because we bumped into the wall of reality. Do you think it will be possible this time?”

“No, that would be impossible.”

“Really? Why?”

“Secondly, it has become a practice for each club or organization to make a fake budget and win huge subsidies. The freshman said he would hand over the student council executive position to the person who overpowered him in a duel. No matter how famous the Reinhardt family was in swordsmanship. As long as we declared that at the entrance ceremony, where all the best of our 2nd and 3rd year students gathered, how long can a freshman take the position of an executive in the student council?”

Rowen stopped talking. She seemed to be calculating something in her head, then she opened her mouth slowly.

“Probably, three days at most. And liquidating the evil forces in three days is absolutely impossible.”

“What if it was a week instead of three days?”

“Whether it’s a week or a month, the results are the same. There are over 100 clubs and groups in Bern Academy. Even if you calculate that you finish auditing one place a day, it will take at least a hundred days.”

“In other words, it might be possible in 100 days?”

“Yes, it might be theoretically possible, but….”

Rowen, speechless, glanced at Edwin.

Edwin had a strange expression on his face.

“Rowen.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“I mean the freshmen who came in this time. Where was your family name?”

“The chief was Count Eleves, and the second was Baron Reinhardt.”

“A lady from a rich family, one of the best in the empire, and a master master of swordsmanship, an unusual combination….”

Who can treat the daughter of the wealthy count Eleves family and the three sons of the Reinhardt family, one of the best swordsmen on the continent, as a young lady or a young master? Perhaps the crown prince in front of me and the emperor of the empire will be the same.

Knowing that well, Rowen waited for Edwin’s words without replying.

Tak, Edwin snapped his fingers.

“Rowen, where are you two?”

“Today is the day of the entrance ceremony, so it may have already returned, but I will try to contact you.”

To summon Cain and Lia to the student president’s office, Rowen took out a communication tool from hers.

That was the moment. The high-pitched voice reached the promenade in the campus where the student council president and his secretary were standing.

─Hey, there was a fight at the restaurant!

─What? Who, who and who is fighting?

Is it a fight? Edwin, who instantly moved his gaze to the direction where the voice came from, immediately turned his attention away and looked at Rowen.

Students attending Bern Academy are a race eager to prove themselves. Also, because I am a teenager with a lot of blood. Big and small fights between students who consider each other to be of the same level happen several times a day.

So, the student president is not directly involved in the frequent and low-priority fights between students. This is the job of the leaders under the student council.

Even though Edwin didn’t pay much attention to it and tried to do his own business.

—That, there is a freshman who made a fuss at the entrance ceremony. Black-haired, red-eyed bastard! With him, with Allen!

“…… You found the location.”

Rowen put her telecommunication demon tool as a product. Edwin and Rowen faced each other and nodded.

“Let’s go.”

* * *

Student cafeteria. The time is still around 1:00 PM.

In the student cafeteria, the only place where first, second, and third year students at Bern Academy gather, Cain was confronting a second year male student with one of her chopsticks in her right hand.

The name of the 2nd year male student who has a particularly dirty impression is Allen. His overall ranking was 48th overall in the second year, although it is a ranking measured excluding the strongest third year. That doesn’t mean he’s an easy opponent.

That’s also true, the fact that he endured until he reached second year at Bern Academy, where only the best talent in the empire can enter, is already in the top 1% among his peers.

That he ranked 48th out of 800 talented people who gathered only the top 1%. It is said that Allen has the skills to intimidate the ‘representative of freshmen who don’t know anything’.

And in fact, in Allen’s eyes, Cain trying to deal with him with chopsticks looked ridiculous. Cain’s behavior, before he had experienced the infinitely competitive curriculum of Bern Academy, was just a pup’s poop.

So, after taking care of him moderately, he took away the badge that symbolizes being a member of the student council. I tried to play tricks on the girl next to him.

“I think this will be enough for dealing with seniors.”

“…… What, you bastard?”

“Ah, actually chopsticks are too much. Unfortunately, among the swords I own, there are no swords shorter than chopsticks. So, I will treat you with chopsticks. Instead, the player will yield, so please come in comfortably, right?”

Because the cheeky freshman didn’t even know his topic and dared to provoke the sophomores.

Allen was determined to sever the f*cking freshman’s waist in half.

“…… Holy sh*t, you son of a b*tch!”

Allen, who raised the mana in his body, kicked off the seat. Her stocky leg muscles twitched as she wriggled, while her Allen body shot at incredible speed.

A rapid charge like a cannonball. Allen, who believed in her own huge body, which had strengthened her even more by surrounding her mana, thought that her Cain would not be able to escape her own surprise attack and she would faint on the spot.

But.

“Wow.”

Cain evaded Allen’s surprise by moving half a step beside her. After cutting through her air, Allen overturned all the tables and chairs in the student cafeteria, then crashed into a marble wall.

──Thump, boom!

The shards of marble that had collided with Allen sprang up and scattered all over her. Arlen, realizing too late that he had smashed her marble wall, not Cain, rose from her seat and shook her head to shake the stone off her.

“This bastard, avoiding this?”

“I tried to stick chopsticks up her nostrils, but I saw it. Didn’t you like it?”

“…… What?”

As Cain tapped her on the bridge of his nose, Allen unconsciously remembered. The sight of her chopsticks being stabbed in her own nostrils, which had been fired like a cannonball.

I don’t know, but it’s probably not a very good look. Maybe her nostrils got three. Imagining that made her shudder in an instant, and Allen, who felt chills running down her spine, stepped back.

Then, she freaked out, belatedly realizing that she was overwhelmed by her momentum against the ‘freshman’. She grinded her teeth.

“Damn it. The one who luckily escaped.”

“Hmm, lucky….”

Cain looked Allen up and down. It wasn’t a big deal, but what Cain had just said, ‘I was trying to put chopsticks in her nostrils and looked after her.’

‘…… Could it be that bastard?’

I had such a dangerous imagination that the cheeky freshman representative was looking for where to stick chopsticks in his body.

“Oh, the f*ck of the f*ck….”

That should never happen. Regardless of victory or defeat, what if that guy’s chopsticks got stuck somewhere in his body. There will be no such thing as disgrace.

Allen prepared to rush like her cannonball once again. However, there was a difference from a moment ago, and that was that Allen lowered her center of gravity by bending over.

It is clear that Allen’s intention is to increase speed by reducing the contact area and to make it impossible to stick chopsticks in.

Cain, who knew all this as if looking into the palm of her hand, changed her mind. She’s not sticking chopsticks in. She’s going to hit Allen’s neck with chopsticks to knock him out.

“Die, you bastard!”

Allen rushed once again. She didn’t. She leaped. She rushed at a rapid speed that was incomparably faster than before. However, she leisurely avoided Cain. And she didn’t stop there, reaching her hand toward the back of Allen’s neck, cutting through the air. She slammed her chopsticks down.

──Tap!

“…… 100 Million!”

She just hit it with chopsticks, and she couldn’t believe it. She felt a heavy blow. Allen’s body disintegrated.

Allen’s forward speed and Cain’s blow combined, creating a huge vertical crack in the marble wall where Allen was impaled.

“Lee, Lee. f*ck…….”

As Allen fell to the floor, he raised his head.

In one corner of his vision, blurry from being too shocked in a short period of time, he could see Cain quietly examining his chopsticks bent at a 45 degree angle.

“Lia-sama. Do I have to pay for these bent chopsticks?”

“Yes, it was written in the school rules that students should compensate for property damaged during non-lecture time at their own expense. They also arbitrarily imposed penalty points.”

“Oh, I see. So Lia, could you give me a guarantee? I came without my wallet.”

“Oh. Even if everything else works, it’s not a guarantee, Cain! My father said that no matter how close you are, you can’t vouch for it!”

Allen looked at Cain and Leah, who were chatting about nonsensical topics such as Marnie, standing as a guarantee, without even paying attention to himself, who was buried in marble and dust.

‘…… f*ck it.’

Crazy bastards, they’re dating each other……. At the end of the thought. I lost consciousness.

* * *

To compensate for the severely bent chopsticks, I agreed to borrow money from Lia instead of a guarantee. I turned my head and looked at the group brought by the 2nd year male student.

Since the giant who is presumed to be the captain has fallen, I wonder if the thugs are rushing to avenge the enemy-. I was thinking and looking at it.

Perhaps they misunderstood my gaze, each took a startled backwards step. Leaving the fallen male student as it was, he ran away while looking at it.

“What the hell, are there all people without loyalty?”

Muttering softly, I fiddled around with my chopsticks. If I could do this well and put it back to its original state, wouldn’t it be okay to not get penalty points?

I’m giving you enough strength while thinking such a stupid thing.

──Clap clap clap clap.

I was startled by the sound of hand clapping that came from behind me, so I gave the wrong force and my chopsticks popped. Broken in half.

“…… Ah.”

What kind of guy is clapping his hands in a diner? I turned around to say something, but I was startled. Two people clapped their hands. One was a handsome man with blond hair, and the other was a black-haired, expressionless woman.

From noble mtl dot com

And it was also the face the two of them saw in the student council room they stopped by in the morning.

It’s not wrong, the man is Edwin von Edward Go, the male protagonist of the original work who is the first prince of the empire and the student council president. The woman’s side is that secretary, Rowen Argentine.

“Well, it was a great duel. Right, Rowen?”

“Yes. Rather than a duel, it was more like cattle driving, a specialty of the western region.”

The cattle driving Rowen mentioned is similar to modern bullfighting. It is the one that makes fun of the cow by swinging the red cloth here and there to excite the cow and make it run. But this is not modern, so the way it goes is a little different. Specifically…….

“So, how about now? Do you still think that three days is the longest?”

“…… Well, judging from the fact that he made fun of Allen, it seems that he has the minimum skills. Still, it will be difficult to exceed a week.”

“You’re cool.”

…… This is not important. Why are the student council president and his secretary here? Are you here for a late lunch?

No, probably not. There is no need for the student council president to come to the student cafeteria because a special meal is provided separately.

I was taken aback, but after meeting Lia’s eyes, I lowered her head first. Then Lia followed me and bowed her head.

“Oh, hello. President.”

“Thank you. By the way, what did the president do to the student cafeteria…… ?”

I hid the broken chopsticks behind me and asked carefully.

The student council president, Edwin, looked at me and Leah in turns.

“Kain Reinhardt, Leah von Eleves.”

Then, she winked at one eye.

“Shall we go to a quiet place and talk for a while?”
