81. A sincere apology.

I gave a speech with red eyes.

However, despite the tears in my eyes, my tone of voice was still calm. So there was a sadder side to it.

“I endured and endured only to defeat the devil. But he even insulted my teacher. They say it’s a dirty magic. That was hard for me to bear.”

“Well, like that…!”

“How dare you insult the teacher?!”

“Huh…!”

All the people gathered here now were professors. It was said that everyone was a teacher with disciples.

Naturally, I had no choice but to react sensitively to this story.

“Now, wait…!”

The warrior immediately tried to refute.

But there was no way the dean would allow that.

“Be quiet.”

“Ugh…! Yes.”

Soon the warrior’s mouth closed. After seeing that, I continued talking.

“I immediately protested. But all that came back was merciless violence.”

“Huh…!”

“Oh my…!”

“My, when will I…!”

“Uh-huh! Quiet!”

The warrior resisted again this time. Actually, I added a little bit of MSG to it. That’s why the warrior reacted like that.

‘Actually, I couldn’t even protest.’

It didn’t matter anyway. What mattered was that everyone was swayed by my speech.

I kept emphasizing the hero’s ugly side.

In fact, there were so many things that happened to me that I didn’t have to make it up.

And soon the highlight began to arrive.

I exploded the emotions that had been building up for so long.

“I stayed at the party until the end despite severe oppression and violence! Only…!! All that remains is to defeat the devil!”

At that moment, a tear fell from my eye. It was a performance that surprised even the great actors.

“But…!! He ended up forcing me out of the party. I was kicked out without even knowing why.”

“Didn’t you go out on your own?”

“Huh… I never thought they would have kicked me out…”

There were many people who did not know this. There were some things I didn’t try to tell, and the warrior also kept quiet.

“And he… ended up making a false pact with the devil. All my efforts have been negated.”

Here I made my voice tremble as much as possible.

Should I say that some vibration(?) was added?

It was a technique to amplify the effect.

“It’s not a false agreement?!”

“Uh huh!! Be quiet!”

The warrior protested again, but was suppressed by the dean.

I slowly prepared for the end. This was the most important.

“Respected professors. A warrior is like that. A person who is different on the outside and inside than anyone else. Don’t be fooled by the warrior’s reflective appearance. It’s all pretense and lies.”

“Oh, no!”

“Just think about what happened this time. There was clear evidence that the warrior had made a false agreement. Please only look at the evidence.”

I bowed my head with those words. He seemed quite polite, yet desperate for something.

And sat down.

“……”

“……”

Was my speech effective?

The conference room became quiet for a moment.

It seemed like my brilliant acting had touched the hearts of some professors.

At that time, the dean opened his mouth.

“It was a very good speech. Above all, the words to see the truth were very impressive.”

The dean went out of his way to remind everyone of what I said. It was a declaration of his will once again.

Perhaps, it seemed like they were trying to put pressure on the remaining moderate professors.

I smiled slightly. The dean’s pressure added to my famous speech. In fact, it could be seen that it was over.

‘I’ll win easily.’

There was no need to look at the results for this.

It was an easy victory for me.

But that was then.

Suddenly the warrior raised his hand.

It seemed like he was probably trying to make a final argument.

“Hmm…”

The dean thought for a moment. I was wondering whether to give him the right to speak or not.

But the warrior’s expression was so sad. Moreover, the result has already been almost decided.

In the end, the dean nodded and gave him the floor.

Nod.

“I will allow you to speak.”

“Thank you.”

The warrior quickly stood up.

And he glared at me once. For a moment, I saw annoyance written all over my face.

Of course, his expression quickly changed.

‘As expected, nothing has changed.’

I actually liked the image of the hero still hating me. This was better than the false apology from before.

Soon the warrior showed a sincere expression. Then he looked at the professors and opened his mouth.

“You gave me a chance, but I also know my situation well. Therefore, I will keep it short.”

I nodded at the hero’s words. It was really difficult for me to listen to the hero’s speech for a long time.

‘Because there will be nothing but lies.’

This time too, he will definitely deliver a speech covered in pretense and lies. It was obvious even without looking.

I looked at him with a relaxed face.

No matter how brave he was, this was difficult to reverse. It was the same even if the warrior cried loudly here.

It was already visible that the expressions of the moderate professors had turned cold. First, he was influenced by the speech I gave.

‘In that state, no matter what anyone says, it doesn’t matter.’

Unless someone made a move that no one could have imagined, a reversal could be seen as impossible.

“I…”

Did the hero know that too?

For a moment, the warrior stopped talking. And he had a face of serious concern.

‘what?’

Then, he immediately looked like he had made up his mind. It was a face of great determination.

“I think I lacked sincerity earlier. An apology that is only verbal will not be sincere.”

‘hmm? no way?’

I slightly widened my eyes. I had a bad feeling about something.

And everyone’s eyes widened at the hero’s next words.

The dean was the same. No, rather, the dean’s eyes opened even wider.

“If I go to the academy again…! I will donate all of my assets, 300,000 gold, to the Royal Academy.”

“……!!”

“……!!”

This was because it was inevitable.

‘what? Donate all your money?’

The hero traveled the world for a long time and fought against the Demon King. As a result, we received a lot of donations and compensation from various countries.

Of course, it was only after the armistice agreement that money began to be made in earnest.

In recognition of his contribution to signing a 100-year truce with the Demon King, he received numerous donations from many countries.

Perhaps they had anticipated that and lied about the length of the agreement.

In any case, the warrior had accumulated quite a lot of wealth.

But now he said he would donate it all.

‘No, is he crazy?’

If it were me, I couldn’t have imagined it. My teacher had nothing to say.

‘You’re burning 300 billion won just to stay in the academy?’

It was truly a crazy idea.

‘Surely you won’t receive any benefits even if you take the top spot?’

Plus, all kinds of ridicule from academy students was an added bonus. If it were me, it was a decision I would never have made.

Anyway, everyone looked shocked by his words.

“Huh… 300,000 gold?”

“It’s a huge amount…”

“You’re crazy.”

“You want to donate all your assets?”

The amount was a large amount, and it was surprising that he said he would donate all of his assets.

In effect, it meant that if I stayed at the academy, I would be broke.

A warrior who has already been excommunicated becomes penniless. It could be seen as a judgment that abandoned the future.

But the warrior was proud.

I looked at everyone and spoke again.

“I swear by my sword and my mana. My entire assets are 300,000 gold. And if I stay at the academy, I will go to the academy broke from now on.”

It was a face that said it was not a waste of money at all.

Anyway, one thing, sincerity, was enormous. It was just the surprised faces on everyone’s faces.

At that time, I was able to see something different from others.

‘hmm?’

I could see the warrior’s eyes trembling slightly. It was a very subtle movement, but my eyes couldn’t avoid it.

‘Of course it is.’

I nodded to myself.

It was a whopping 300,000 gold. It looked like I was going to blow it, but there was no way it wouldn’t be a waste.

Actually, that money was money that I wouldn’t have lost if I hadn’t given the speech. The warrior knew that too, which is why he didn’t mention money at first.

But things have changed.

Suddenly, I was giving a speech, and it touched everyone’s heartstrings.

And the warrior also knew that.

So I had no choice but to use this super strong water.

‘I feel quite sick. ‘I understand you’ve been a bit extravagant.’

The result became unknown due to the number of warriors just present. But it didn’t feel that bad.

The warrior spent all his wealth because of me. It could be seen that he had completely abandoned old age.

Additionally, the warriors had been living in quite a bit of luxury.

Is it because I suddenly became rich?

He was also quite famous for spending a lot of money.

But now that is no longer possible. No, it has become difficult to make a living.

If I felt bad, it was even weirder.

“Well, I’ll just leave it here.”

Soon the warrior sat down.

And then the dean’s words were heard.

“Amazing. Amazing… to think like that… hmm, it’s really late anyway. I will vote right away.”

The sun was already setting. In addition, there has already been a lot of discussion.

Now is the time to truly decide the warrior’s future.

‘Which is more profitable?’

I thought quickly.

If a hero stays in the academy, he or she will lose 300,000 gold. That also leaves you completely broke.

For a warrior who had already been excommunicated, this meant that the rest of his life would be miserable. It will be difficult to make money in the future.

‘No employer would hire an excommunicated person.’

But this also had its drawbacks.

Suddenly, Duke Philip will emerge as my strong competitor. After all, it’s like having a warrior as your subordinate.

‘Sseu-eup, considering the senior position, it would be right for the hero to be expelled… Considering the hero’s misfortune, it would be more appropriate for him to remain at the academy…’

It was a very difficult question to choose.

However, fortunately, I didn’t have to choose.

This was because only professors had the right to vote.
