7. A fight with a hero?

After the entrance ceremony, dormitory assignment was made.

Basically, the Royal Academy had a rule of four people per room.

The goal was to foster cooperation among academy students.

But there were exceptions.

In particular, the students in this special department had many exceptions.

“Your Majesty Maximilian… No, no, Maximilian.”

“Yes.”

“Hero… No, Franz Lahm.”

“Yes.”

“Saint… Se, Serena.”

“Yes.”

Currently we were still sitting in the auditorium. The king and the professors had already left.

And there was a reason for this.

It was to allocate dormitories.

Soon, the person who appeared to be the dormitory director called the prince, the warrior, and the saint.

Just by looking at it, I could tell why he was called.

‘Probably, those three will be sharing a single room.’

It wasn’t that there were single rooms at the academy. They said it was made specially for guests.

And the three of them will be using that single room.

“Everyone, please follow me. You, you go somewhere else…”

Anyway, everyone responded that it was natural.

Those three had different identities.

So, everyone acknowledged it.

‘I have to stay in a single room too.’

But I also needed a single room.

I was going to do everything I could to win the Academy Award.

It even included dark numbers.

Of course, I had to occupy a single room with excellent security.

And actually, the single room was much better. It will also help maintain your condition.

I stood up calmly.

“Um… Well, you are the mercenary king… No, Jace Allen.”

Even the housemaster of the royal academy is an ordinary person.

I guess he was a noble, but that was all.

He could not be compared to the mercenary king. That’s why he stuttered.

‘good. First of all, we took the initiative.’

Earlier, he pretended to be humble in front of the king.

But there was no need for that here either.

I confidently stepped forward.

And then we arrived in front of the housemaster.

As I approached the housemaster, I saw him very embarrassed.

There were guards, but so were they. Everyone didn’t know what to do.

This was the power of his reputation as a mercenary king.

Of course, it didn’t work for students in special departments.

Everyone said something to me.

“What are you doing now?”

“Do you put pressure on the supervisor?”

“Oh my, is it because he’s a mercenary?”

I ignored their voices.

Then he looked at the housemaster and spoke.

“I want to go with you too?”

“Well, that is…”

The housemaster looked very troubled. It seemed like he didn’t even care that I spoke informally.

It was then.

The warrior who had been standing still stepped forward.

“Ha…! What are you doing now? Are you persecuting ordinary people?”

“What are you talking about? I’m just giving an opinion?”

Of course, I pretended not to notice.

Currently, I haven’t even shown any momentum. If the force had been released, the housemaster would have collapsed on the spot.

Just by looking at this, you could tell that he was very gentlemanly.

Of course, for a mercenary.

Even the warrior knew this.

“Eu-deuk. As expected of a mercenary, he is low-level.”

“Really? So what do you think about having a single room just for you here? He is truly a warrior. Right?”

“Ugh…!”

The warrior kept his mouth shut at my words.

And then he made a fierce face.

If you touch it a little more, it will pull out its sword. I had a feeling that would be the case.

At that time, Prince Maximilian, who was quietly watching this, came forward.

“Jace Allen. Are you trusting that sword and going forward without permission?”

“Sword…?”

“Tsk, yes. I don’t know why your father gave it to you.”

‘Isn’t it an ordinary decorative sword?’

First of all, the sword wasn’t important.

I looked at the prince and spoke.

“Your Majesty… No, Maximillian.”

“Huh…”

“After all, since we entered the academy, aren’t we all friends?”

“Ugh… Okay. That’s right.”

This was correct.

No matter how great your status was, once you entered the academy, everyone was the same.

“But why are you three alone in a single room? Isn’t it unfair? After all, we are all of noble status.”

Everyone here was noble. The same was true for this race. All of them were from noble families within their tribe.

Rather, the warrior was from a commoner background. Although he is now a nobleman, it means that he was born that way.

The three of them didn’t say anything to me. Because in principle, what I said was correct.

In fact, the saint even agreed with my opinion.

“Jace is right. I won’t stay in a single room.”

“Serena!”

Of course, I’m not against her using a single room.

I just want to stay in a single room.

I turned around and looked at everyone. And then he made a suggestion.

“Why don’t you just use your skills and get a single room instead? Anyway, we came here to decide who is the best.”

Everyone showed interest in what I had to say.

Everyone here was a person of great skill. Moreover, his status was noble.

There was no way he wouldn’t be interested in what I had to say.

“Not bad.”

And a young duke reacted to this.

Duke Philip was the next in status to the prince.

In fact, he also had a special status.

Although he was young, he was the current duke. But he wasn’t included in those three. You’ll probably feel pretty bad.

And when the duke stepped forward, factions supporting him began to rise up. Mainly, the aristocratic faction belonged to this group.

“I also agree with what the Duke said.”

“What the Duke said is of course right!”

He is supported by many nobles gathered here.

In an instant, my opinion began to gain strength.

Besides, she came forward.

One of the other members of the warrior party, Shrine Lucien, came forward.

“Me too. I think it would be more fun to win with skill.”

In fact, she also had the status and skills to be included among those three. However, they were not included because they were of a different race.

Of course, I had no choice but to agree with my opinion.

In addition, the great wizard also came forward.

“Me too. I like Jace’s opinion better.”

Now that it was like this, I could see it was over.

Soon the prince’s face turned red.

You probably won’t like it very much.

Of course, it wasn’t a hero or a saint.

It was a completely irrelevant story, especially for a warrior who was confident in his skills.

They both nodded to my opinion.

“Ha, it’s about skills… Everyone looks confident.”

“I think this method is okay.”

In the end, there was nothing the prince could do alone.

I spoke to the housemaster, whose face turned pale. This time I spoke respectfully.

“It seems like the decision has been made. Would you please go and tell the professors? Hmm… I’d better tell it like this.”

I smiled at him. But it was also a smile that felt subtly stressful.

“Uh, how…”

“We tried to decide on a single room based on status… but the academy students didn’t want that. I wanted to make decisions based on ability rather than status. Like this.”

It was true. Even though I took out all the spiral parts.

He nodded at my words.

“Oh, I understand.”

He seemed quite frightened of me.

I probably won’t be able to properly say what I did.

It looked exactly like that.

Soon the housemaster hurried out of the auditorium.

And soon the academy was turned upside down.

***

Professors, including Serge Geis, moved quickly.

“Huh, something like this…!”

“Is it also a special department?”

The most powerful people in the kingdom gathered together. Of course I thought something was going to happen.

But I didn’t know that something would happen immediately after the entrance ceremony.

When I soon arrived at the auditorium, I could see that many academy students were already gathered.

Murmur.

“New students are having a competition?”

“Is it really a special department?”

“Tsk, no matter how great you are, you’re still a freshman.”

“Hey, there’s a warrior too, what does that mean?”

Rumors had already spread widely within the academy.

The professors’ expressions hardened.

There were already many voices jealous of the special department being given special treatment.

But for something like this to happen…

A sigh came out naturally.

Still, it’s not too late.

Serge Geis opened his mouth and spoke to the professors.

“If you can’t feel any momentum or mana yet, it means there hasn’t been a fight. It’s not too late.”

All I had to do was stop the fight. After that, all they had to do was distribute single rooms equally.

The power of professors at the academy was absolute. The same was true for special departments.

This was because he was in a position to evaluate them.

So, they too will listen to what the professor says.

Soon they broke through the crowd of onlookers and opened the auditorium doors.

Squeak.

Then the sight you see.

“Is there no one to confront me? Where has all the momentum from earlier gone? Especially Jace Allen! What are you doing? Are you scared?”

Before I knew it, all the chairs in the auditorium had been pushed out.

As a result, a vacant lot appeared, and I saw a warrior standing in the middle of it.

It seemed like the method was to step up and defeat all challengers one by one.

He immediately stepped forward and tried to stop the warrior.

But it was that moment.

Oh oh oh-!!

Wow-!!

Hero-!!

Suddenly, academy students who were watching flocked to the auditorium.

The number reached hundreds of people.

Thanks to this, professors were pushed back.

“Ugh! Everyone get out of the way!”

And the situation inside the auditorium became increasingly serious.

“Ha! I knew you would too. No matter how famous you are these days, you are just a mercenary…”

“Who doesn’t come forward? Tsk, I didn’t want to come forward from the beginning…”

Surprisingly, the mercenary king began to approach the warrior.

He warmed up and slowly approached the warrior.

To put it simply, the confrontation between the mercenary king and the warrior suddenly took place.

Seeing that, the surroundings became even more noisy.

“The warrior and the mercenary king are fighting!!”

“Gasp! Really?!”

“You must see this!”

Everyone entered the auditorium like crazy.

Mercenary King is a new star whose stock price is rising rapidly these days.

On the contrary, a warrior is an absolute powerhouse who has been famous for a long time.

But these two are competing…

This was a match of the century that you couldn’t watch even if you paid money to see it.

Naturally, more students began to enter the auditorium.
