by adminEpisode 4 – I am an asshole 4 –
My level itself is equivalent to that of an academy professor.
Auror Master, the highest level that can be achieved as an Auror. A state where most knights can’t even reach, let alone grab.
However, just because the level is the same does not mean that my skills are the same as the professor.
This is because the gap between Auror Masters is the most severe of all realms.
I don’t know if that’s all, but I only tried to learn the senses of the Auror considering the use of WFS’ ability.
In the end, I became a person who only had high standards but lacked substance.
The problem with learning swordsmanship from forgotten ghosts during the WFS training was that the less you learn swordsmanship, the faster you can learn it.
‘If I hadn’t entered the academy, I would have trained myself and learned swordsmanship from a sword demon before setting off.’
As my growth is not over, my level is only halfway through. They are only strong, but they don’t know how to utilize their power.
When it comes to martial arts, a master who has reached the level of skill cannot guarantee victory even in a fight with a master of the highest level, so you can imagine how abnormal my current state is.
However, it is different if the rules of sparring are included.
In sparring, which is not a matter of life or death, I can beat someone stronger than me.
Moreover, since I won according to the game rules, I can dismiss the claim that my actual skills are better. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed.
“In the end, the reason it is difficult to judge is because it is unprecedented. So, wouldn’t it be okay to spar with me?”
As Professor Rachel continued speaking once more, the referee next to me fell into a panic.
This is because the sparring between the professor and the cadet could have happened in front of him if he was not careful.
There doesn’t seem to be any reason for it to be a problem? If you do it wrong, the cadet’s parents can be damned. And my father is a marquis.
Given my father’s personality, I wouldn’t be so damned if he wasn’t on the same level as me. They care about me, but they have a strong tendency to think that I am being punished for what I have done.
Of course, there is no way the referee would know such circumstances, so it is worth being afraid.
So the referee, who was a year or two older than me and whose name I didn’t know yet, was giving me an earnest look.
Please stop.
However.
“Is this really sparring this time?”
I never gave in to his wishes. Previously, I lost in just one match, but now I had a way to win.
“No, junior!? Didn’t that junior lose in one match last time? Just giving up… Wouldn’t it be better?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
And the embarrassed referee tried to appease me, but it was meaningless.
There was no reason to feel guilty, since no harm was going to come to the referee anyway.
“Then the rules are the same, right? The sparring time is 5 minutes in total. The rule is that whoever inflicts more damage wins.”
“That’s right. So let’s give it a try.”
I don’t know why she asked me to spar. However, if you know how to turn a crisis into an opportunity, your future will be smooth.
There’s no way there won’t be hardships when going to get equipment.
“Okay, then the total sparring time is 5 minutes. The side that inflicts more damage within the sparring time wins, and if the damage is determined to be similar, it is recorded as a draw. Do you agree?”
“Yes.”
“Of course.”
And when the sparring between me and Professor Rachel came to fruition, the audience became even more upset.
“You sure didn’t attack the professor first and get hit?”
“No, but by what means?”
“I guess I thought the professor would look at me to some extent. Are you going to treat the cadets like you did last time?”
“But why did the professor suggest sparring?”
“Isn’t there some residue left behind from the last incident?”
“Do you think the professor is you? Are you requesting a sparring match with a cadet just to satisfy your self-esteem?”
Even though many opinions were being exchanged, the two of us just focused on the sparring at hand.
As the sparring began, Professor Rachel and I headed to our designated seats. After standing in my designated spot, I turned around and looked at Professor Rachel, and she was still watching me with the same indifferent expression when I first saw her.
Professor Rachel, wearing a cone hat and a cape that goes down to her knees.
And what she held in her hand was a cane that defeated me with one blow.
And what was in my hand was just an ordinary wooden sword.
If money were at stake, I would definitely bet on Professor Rachel.
However, that staff will no longer overpower me like before. Unlike last time, the goal this time is to win.
While waiting for the announcement of the start of the judgment, Professor Rachel opened her mouth.
“I will do it while watching. Don’t worry, I’ll never make you faint.”
When Professor Rachel said she would actually look after me, I asked back.
“Those words… Really? No matter what happens, you can protect it, right?”
“Yes. I will protect it unconditionally.”
After getting her confirmation, we both looked at the referee.
Once the referee confirmed that we were both ready, the sparring began.
“Then. Sparring begins. 3… … 2… … One… … Dalian… Let’s start!”
As soon as the sparring began, Professor Rachel began to flow her magic power and create a magic circle.
“Don’t move! If I move even the slightest bit, my arm will be cut off!”
I cast blackmail.
========
“Yes… ?”
Professor Rachel watches me, wondering what I’m doing. However, I came up with a very simple way to stop Professor Rachel, and put it into practice.
“From now on, if you attack me or move, I will cut off one of your arms or legs. If I get seriously injured during sparring, of course the sparring will be cancelled.”
“Then it’s my victory, right?”
“What harm did Professor Rachel do to me? In fact, if that happens, the damage I caused will be greater, right?”
According to academy rules, the standard for victory or loss in sparring is the damage inflicted. Damage inflicted, not damage inflicted on the opponent.
It is said that it was established that way because sometimes it is necessary to calculate the damage inflicted to the summoned animal, but this is where a loophole occurs.
In the case of academy rules, defense must also be taken into consideration, so for easy calculation, victory is determined by how much damage is inflicted on the opponent.
Of course, there is no provision for self-harm because there would be no such thing as an asshole harming himself.
Conclusion: When I harm myself, I win because I cause more damage.
However, she asked me a question as to whether I could not explain everything to Professor Rachel based on this situation alone.
“Why can’t I attack?”
“If Professor Rachel harmed me, I plan to cause even greater harm to myself. If that happens, I’ll eventually faint, but you said you wouldn’t make me faint? You broke the promise, but you can’t count it as a win, right? ah. For your information, if fainting due to self-injury is not recognized, you will just stay still until you faint from excessive bleeding.”
I confidently explained my strategy to Rachel. Blackmail is effective when you make the other person aware of the hostage you are holding.
However, Professor Rachel asked additional questions as if it was still not enough.
“Then what were you going to do if I didn’t say I wouldn’t stun you?”
“They must have blackmailed you with your life. They stab me in the neck.”
It is difficult for a professor to avoid responsibility if a cadet dies or is seriously injured because of him. It won’t be any different here.
If you have a background, it won’t be a big problem, but at least you will have to give up your professorship.
“What is that… ”
Professor Rachel seemed to find my threat so absurd that she moved a little. I shouted without missing the movement.
“I told you not to move!”
With those words, the wooden sword covered in aura stabbed my left arm.
Pushyuk ㅡ
The wooden sword touched his left arm, and blood flowed from the tip of the sword.
Like the water at the tip of an icicle that slightly melts as the weather warms. Hot blood flowed down the blade and from the tip toward the floor.
As soon as the sword pierced my left arm, blood spurted out from the stab wound and hit my head. The blood that succeeded in flying briefly in the sky fell down through the face and onto the ground.
Because it passes near the eyes, it may seem to some people that you are shedding tears.
Oh shit. I stabbed him for no reason.
It really hurts so bad.
I really feel like I’m crying tears of blood.
However, despite my feelings, Professor Rachel couldn’t help but be shocked when she saw me.
“You… ”
I didn’t miss that embarrassment.
“After solving the spell, let’s just wait until the 5 minutes are over, right? I think it would be good for both of us. If the professor wants to knock me out… ”
After those words, the wooden sword was held in a different position.
Aim the tip of the sword that should have been aimed at the opponent at my neck.
That sword was covered in aura.
One arm was stabbed and the blood that came out was soaking the wooden sword.
My right arm was shaking from the pain.
I was able to convey to the professor as much of the will that I wanted to convey.
“If you do this, even if you stun me with magic, the shock wave will cut off my head. And since this was attacked by a professor, it will definitely be controversial.”
The reason Joseon’s idiots were shunned. Also, the reason why they always lived drunk.
And the reason why the electric chair was developed and prison guards execute people by electric chair using a randomly selected button.
Killing people.
Because it is never an easy decision.
People in the early and mid-modern times did not feel guilty about taking the life of their enemies, but they did not feel guilty about taking the lives of their enemies.
So it will work. Absolutely.
And as if I was not wrong, Professor Rachel showed that she was unable to make a choice.
There has never been a cadet like this before.
Because it’s a feat only possible for someone like me who doesn’t have to worry about what others think.
I was curious what choice Professor Rachel would make. Will they really attack me? Or should I just pass the time?
Or will they succeed in subduing me through other methods?
Fortunately, as I expected, the magic circles prepared near Professor Rachel gradually began to disengage.
Rachel was effectively declaring her surrender.
“Your victory.”
A word made up of just four words. But it was enough to explain the situation.
I beat her. And that too, honestly and justly.
Even though one of my arms was weak (self-harm) and my whole body was shaking from the pain (self-harm), it didn’t matter.
I won. In a sparring with a professor at the Imperial Academy.
“Hahaha.”
When my victory was confirmed, I laughed, fueled by the pain of the amputation that I still felt.
As I smiled and looked around, I saw people around me looking shocked.
Most people were shocked that I had carried out a self-harming threat, not that I had beaten the professor.
“That crazy guy is betting his life?”
“No, you’re definitely the second son of Marquis Mentutihotep, aren’t you? Isn’t life a waste?”
“Even if you lose to the professor in one hit, no one will say anything, so why do you act like that while tarnishing your own image like that?”
“But isn’t it great that you won?”
“That’s true, but if you think about it, it’s similar to what I said earlier.”
“That’s right.”
“Apart from that, I don’t feel the dignity of nobility at all. This is a person who cannot feel anything other than respect.”
“Even commoners wouldn’t use their bodies like that.”
Even in the midst of such a variety of reactions, I just smiled. Because I won first. And by creating such a crazy scene, I put the president in trouble.
The president may be subject to political attacks just because self-inflicted blackmail has occurred. Of course, it is just a far-fetched justification, but even that justification is important because it is an aristocratic society.
While I was having such a happy delusion, Professor Rachel came up to me.
“So, is there anything you would like to ask? I will listen if I can.”
And she was finally willing to do me a favor.
“Since I won the sparring match, I guess I can ask to be moved to the highest level.”
And those words made me realize something I had never thought of before.
Come to think of it, I could have asked him to do something when I won in sparring.
I went into this with the mindset of putting President Dan Dan in trouble, so I didn’t think about what happened after I won. However, if this happens, you get what you get.
I quickly asked her about the details.
“If you can please, can I ask you something else?”
“uh.”
Professor Rachel said that she would listen to requests that she could give.
And for me, it was what I wanted from the moment I entered this academy.
There is only one thing I want from this academy.
That’s why I openly declared it to everyone in the sparring hall.
“Okay then!! I!!!! a little!!!! Expel him from school!!!!! Please give it to me!!!!”
I shouted so loudly.
Ask me to expel you from school.
People around me were doubting my declaration.
Some people who were quick to grasp the situation were doubting my sincerity.
And I smiled, thinking of the president who was watching this scene from somewhere.
So what do you do now? President.
I don’t know why you’re not expelling me, but can you really ignore this and stop my expulsion?
