After Ethan and Becky enter the bathroom.

On the second floor, a female adventurer came out of the room.

“Haam. Maybe it’s because I drink a lot of water, but I have to pee often.”

She sauntered to the bathroom, thinking she would pee and go to sleep.

“Huh?”

When she arrived at the bathroom at the end of the hallway, she found someone standing in front of the women’s bathroom.

A white-faced beauty wearing a butler’s uniform.

Why this person? The adventurer gave a puzzled look. Are you doing patrolling?

The manager, who had a blunt expression as usual, answered questions in a businesslike tone.

“There is a problem with the restroom and it is being inspected, so please use the restroom on another floor. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

“Aha. okay. Isn’t this a serious problem?”

If there is a problem that cannot be resolved while staying at the hotel, you will have to keep going to a different floor every time you need to do something.

Of course, it’s not that big of an inconvenience, but an inconvenience is an inconvenience anyway.

“It is not a serious problem. We plan to take steps to ensure normal use starting tomorrow.”

“Ah… Thank you for your hard work at this late hour.”

I can’t believe I have to repair the bathroom when everyone else is going to sleep. I felt a little sorry.

Although he must have been annoyed, the manager did not show any sign of it.

“I just do what I have to do.”

I just do what I have to do.

It’s so cool.

The adventurer walked away while thinking such nonsense.

“Then I will go. Good luck.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

The adventurer leaves.

Sigh.

The manager looked into the bathroom.

A soundproofing spell was used to prevent sound from escaping, but she had to step in to prevent people from entering the bathroom.

Since they were on patrol at the time, it would have been a disaster if they hadn’t noticed.

A man who has a lover and a woman who has a relationship with him.

There was nothing like this for gossip. Cheating and affair.

But she won’t tell this to anyone. I will keep quiet and keep it a secret. By nature, a good assassin has a heavy mouth.

Of course, now I’m just an employee at the academy, not an assassin or anything.

The manager thought he should warn the two people.

She didn’t want a fight to break out in the house, and Ethan and Becky were surprisingly bold in their actions.

Those who commit fraud are usually greedy. I wasn’t satisfied with just having a relationship with someone who wasn’t my lover, or with someone who was.

They did it at their workplace or even let their partner into the bedroom they shared.

And such boldness sometimes led to catastrophe. For example, in the form of poison or a blade.

“… … .”

The manager suddenly felt itchy on his butt.

In the past, even if it tickled, I had to endure it. I had to hide my presence and bide my time.

But there was no need for that now.

Scratching.

As I scratched the itchy area with my hand, I happened to touch the border of my underwear.

I’ve never once cared about this. Until the man pointed it out.

“… … .”

However, she herself wasn’t sure whether it was the underwear that bothered her, or the seductive touch that approached her.

When Siram comes, send him away, and when the two people who entered the bathroom come out, he hides himself.

The manager stayed in his seat until Becky, with a satisfied expression, and Ethan, with a profuse blush, came out, wondering what kind of panties he should wear to show off.

***

The next day, the day of Dalian.

Adventurers who had applied for sparring in advance gathered at the sparring venue in advance.

In addition, the employees of the Cherbein Merchant Marine and the knights of the Marquis Hoern arrived one after another, perhaps to see Dalian.

Karen also came there.

“What kind of opponent will you face?”

I think it would be good if he was slightly stronger than me.

There is little you can learn from a lower-skilled opponent, and a similar opponent is good, but a match against a strong opponent is the best way to improve your skills.

As it was a rare opportunity, I aimed to earn meaningful income.

“No matter who comes out, you will be able to win.”

Karen, who came to see Dalian, spoke bravely. I appreciate you trusting me, but I think you’re overestimating me.

“Aren’t you trusting me too much?”

“Of course I have to believe it. It’s better to believe you can than to believe you can’t.”

Karen laughed softly. Warmth came from the laughter.

“So, I’ll believe it.”

… I can’t lose when they say things like that. I don’t know who my opponent will be, but I will definitely trample on him.

“For some reason, his face looks evil… .”

“It’s my mood. Blame my mood.”

I looked around the sparring hall, strengthening my will for victory.

“Anyway, it’s really spacious.”

The interior was spacious enough to host a war rather than a sparring match, and even to me, who was unfamiliar with architecture, it looked very sturdy.

The sparring hall was divided into several zones, and there were devices in each zone that could manipulate various things.

However, today only one was operational as it was planned to be used.

“Wow… Is this an academy?”

Coming here after staying at a lodging on the outskirts of the site gave me a new sense of reality.

“This is why everyone plays Academy Academy.”

Time passed quickly as I looked around the sparring grounds with Karen and admired them.

“If you are not participating in the sparring, please go up to the spectator seats.”

A woman, presumed to be an academy instructor, glanced at the clock on the wall and shouted.

“Cheer up. Do your best.”

“Yes. I will definitely win.”

Karen laughed a little and went up to the stands with the others.

A little more time passed like that.

It rattled.

A sound coming from the entrance.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the direction from which the sound came.

Soon the door opened and a group of people started coming in.

The number is roughly slightly more than that of adventurers.

Except for the woman in front, everyone was wearing the same outfit. This is probably the academy student we’ll be dealing with today.

The students took their seats opposite us.

The only woman wearing different clothes approached the instructor and seemed to give him some instructions, then stood on the podium.

“Hello. Dear guests from Quien, First of all, I would like to thank you for attending Dalian today.”

To summarize what she said when she introduced herself as a martial arts professor,

Sparring is free and anyone can nominate whoever they want.

If the nominated opponent agrees, sparring begins immediately.

Academy students wear bracelets that limit mana and use basic equipment provided by the academy.

In addition to this, if your life is in danger, stop sparring immediately. The academy continued to say that all costs incurred during the treatment process would be borne by the academy.

“The explanation roughly ends here. Next order… .”

The professor smiled, showing his teeth.

“There is no need for unnecessary pretense. At times like that, it would be better to mix up your weapons at least once.”

Well then, let’s start sparring.

The first sequence is a competition between students. It seemed like the academy was planning to start in order to ease the burden on the adventurers.

Two students stood on a round circular floor. One side is a sword. One side was holding a spear.

Is it because of the Academy’s reputation? I could feel the adventurers around them being intimidated by the momentum of the two people.

Before I knew it, Becky came to my side and started talking.

“Wow, the atmosphere is no joke. Can you win, oppa?”

Of course, this bitch was an exception. This guy burned up his fighting spirit when others were shrinking.

“Do your best. Don’t be overconfident and then be embarrassed.”

“Oh, are you worried about me? I guess you liked the gift I gave you yesterday?”

“Shut up.”

“If I win and come back, do you want to give me one more kiss?”

“Nothing.”

“Really? I can’t help it. I have no choice but to force it.”

I tried not to kiss at all. Yesterday, I gave up my lips to a surprise attack that took advantage of an opportunity.

Even though I suffered yesterday, I will never show any slack from next time.

“Stop talking nonsense and start sparring.”

“It’s cute. okay. Let’s take a look at the quality of the academy’s talented students.”

.

.

.

.

After a fierce battle, the side with the spear won. They must have been in their early twenties at most, but both were quite capable.

“Hmm, that’s a bit much.”

“With restrictions on mana, that’s a lot.”

” Are you confident that you can beat them? ”

“At least I don’t think it will earthquake.”

“Oh confidence. Is it okay to have a silver rating like this?”

joy. Externally, I am active as a silver-level adventurer, but that is not my whole story.

“Just wait and see. Because I will clearly show you my skills.”

After the first sparring, the sparring began in earnest.

The results were very one-sided. Transmission from the student side.

In fact, it was a natural result. You can’t put an adventurer who fights like a wild beast and an academy student who received systematic and high-quality education on the same level.

Even if he was older, it was never easy to beat a young talent armed with outstanding talent and the teachings of a strong man.

This was consistent with the reason why knights and wizards ignored adventurers.

In the end, they are ignored because they are uneducated bitches.

Of course, once it reached gold level, the evaluation changed a bit. From a girl with no roots to a girl with no roots but still has decent skills.

Well, honestly, I don’t feel like I’m being ignored more because of my ingrained sense of being the chosen people.

anyway.

We’ve lost every game so far, but it hasn’t all been overwhelming.

There were people who fought quite evenly, and there were also cases where they came close to victory but were eventually caught off guard and lost because they were unable to break through the defense.

Becky was fighting against a wizard, and although she was on the losing end, at the last minute she punched her opponent’s face with all her might and was violently carried away.

“In the end, I gave it a shot.”

I muttered as I looked at the people who were singled out one by one and competing diligently.

“But why am I not calling anyone… .”

There aren’t many people left anymore. Surely you won’t be left until the end?

There was no rule that said each person had to spar only once, so it wasn’t an impossible story.

Is there a reason you’re skipping me… .

Suddenly, one possibility comes to mind.

Because I’m a guy?

hmm.

First of all, he is the only man among the adventurers who came to Dalian… .

It’s really not like that, is it? Do you feel embarrassed if you point out a man?

No, but it’s not like there isn’t a man over there. Isn’t it okay for men to stick together?

Still, does this mean that men still get their pride hurt? Well, it might be a bit unfair to point out a man when the Academy has a reputation.

It’s even more so since I’m the only man.

“But isn’t it normal in situations like this for a condescending bully with mediocre skills to start a fight?”

Isn’t it time for a baron’s second daughter, who has a cool-headed personality, is a member of the faction of duke heirs who are vying to be at the top of the grade, and is the second daughter of a baron who fusses so hard that she’ll fall into trouble next to the next duke, isn’t it time?

Isn’t there such a petty villain who wants to prove his skills by beating up a seemingly formidable male adventurer?

Don’t you want to thumb your nose at a guy who doesn’t even know the topic?

“Now that it’s like this, should I point the finger out myself?”

If no one wants to compete with me, I have no choice but to challenge myself first.

While I was wondering who I should stick with, another sparring ended.

I picked one of several candidates I had in mind –

But someone was one step faster.

“I want to compete with that guy.”

“Huh?”

suddenly?

I looked in the direction where the voice came from.

A beautiful woman with a tall body and green skin who stood out especially among the students was looking at me with burning eyes.

“Don’t even think about backing down. Let’s stick with me.”

“Uh… .”

… When did you say you saw it? If you go to the academy, you’ll be younger than me.

I decided to teach the large Orc, who seemed to have no manners, how to respect others.

“Good. Come on.”
