episode_0418

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten hotter, so I swung the mace with a bit of sincerity, but even after Frey was smashed to pieces, he said it was better and rushed at me. It’s so fun to spar with each other sincerely for the first time in a long time.

Seeing that she couldn’t control her excitement, I decided to use extreme measures.

Otherwise, all you have to do is break the pot with a real mace, but you can’t cut your friend’s head into several pieces, right?

“He doesn’t listen to me♡ His skills are poor♡ He’s not even a cute pet♡ I don’t need this♡”

“…Huh?”

“Are you unable to understand because your brain is so confused?♡ I’m telling you to disappear because it’s annoying♡”

“…Lucy? Are you angry?”

“Are you mad?♡ Not at all~♡ Why should I be mad at you?♡ I’m not even going to see you anymore♡”

Frey bowed his head to my threat that if he didn’t listen to me, I wouldn’t even spar with him, let alone go on a trip with him.

“Sorry.”

As Frey made him apologize to the professor and other students, everyone’s eyes turned blank. Everyone has never seen Frey apologize like this.

“Is this okay?”

As if he didn’t feel sorry at all, Frey looked at me as soon as he finished apologizing, but instead of saying anything further, I patted his head.

Where is socialization even like this? Compared to the crazy bitch in the game, it’s a huge improvement. Frey on the other side of the monitor was a crazy person with a different direction from Lucy.

what. But something is a little strange. Why do I feel like I have to raise my hand higher than usual? In the past, I could just lift a little, but now it seems like I have to raise my arms a little higher.

“Stupid prosecutor. Have you grown taller?”

“Huh? huh. Just a little bit.”

“…I hate you.”

You traitor!

Even though he was a little taller than me, he was relatively short, so I felt like I was the same, but he was the only one who was taller!

I just can’t forgive you!

After the minor incident where Frey was embarrassed by my complaining passed.

I continued to visit the academy’s observation classes, garnering the professors’ attention each time.

Just like the professor in my combat studies class, they all wanted to test my level.

I was somehow able to pass off their questions as grandpaemon, but then I thought I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I went to see Luca.

To find out how long this mess will continue.

no. Questions related to my specialties, such as dungeon studies, combat, or divinity, are okay. Because this side is confident that they can answer any question that comes up.

However, it is difficult to ask me questions in a place with a strong academic bent, such as history!

I don’t know what you think of me, but don’t ask me questions you would ask of a graduate student!

There’s no way a nerd like me could solve something like that!

What was especially difficult was the magical arts class that I took under the guidance of Joey.

I can somehow solve everything else with my grandfather’s knowledge, but I really don’t know anything about this.

‘This is the basic theory of the Flame School. Lady Aln. ‘You know that, right?’

I was left at a loss for words because of that attitude, as if I had to know of course.

How do I know that!

I’m a paladin!

No wonder you don’t know magic!

‘professor. Do you really need to waste your time on something so obvious? I came here to take class.’

‘hmm. ‘That too.’

I survived because Joy, who was next to me, answered the professor’s questions for me. If it weren’t for that, it would have been really difficult.

In the worst case scenario, I would have tried to escape the situation by just throwing a tantrum.

Anyway, it was really scary to think that this would happen again in the future.

I want to take classes, not recite stories like a parrot!

‘Ahhh. I can not hear that. ‘I can’t hear anything.’

I ignored my grandfather’s advice and found Luca, and was given the answer I most wanted to hear.

“It will continue to be so. Those who come to the academy now are all deeply loyal people. The better the lady’s answer, the more she will step forward, wondering how far she can go.”

Some people are curious about my potential.

Some are jealous of the favor I receive.

And some people are purely out of curiosity about me.

I felt dizzy as I heard that they would ask me questions until I reached my limits.

No, what I mean is that no matter what class I take, it is guaranteed that I will receive the most attention.

…No. When I think about it, it’s strange that I even worry about something like this.

Why do I have to go to class and ask questions?

Wouldn’t it be okay to just not take all the theory classes?

Your intelligence is already low, so you can just give up.

okay. If only I would admit that I have an intelligence as small as my tiny head.

‘…of course it’s not okay!’

I was worried about my low intelligence, so I thought I would pay attention in class this time!

Then, I would naturally increase my intelligence, so I tried to do my best!

But something like this happens!

No, it’s really unfair?!

Am I easy now!?

What a fool Lucy Alln is!

How many evil acts did Lucy commit in the past, and you’ve forgotten all of it just because she didn’t do anything for a year!?

This is so annoying! Flip it over once?! Why not make a scene where a professor kneels in front of a student?!

‘But!’

As my grandfather said, those who belonged to the First Queen faction only showed interest in me and did not cross important lines.

They asked me questions only within the scope of the professor’s discretion.

There are a lot of new people joining the academy, so it’s not like there are no downsides, but they also notice me.

Even the dungeon studies professor I provoked first just turned red and didn’t rush at me.

There must have been some kind of warning between the factions.

In a situation like this, if I act like a villain first, I’ll be the one in trouble.

Getting into a fight will only give the other person a reason to start a fight.

Ugh. This is why I hate politics.

If this were a dungeon, you could just silence the enemy with a mace.

‘…no. grandfather. Still, I’m an apostle of the Lord, so it’s a bit weird to ask me to mess with an innocent person.’

What on earth do you think of me?

I’ve attacked my opponent with the Mesugaki skill when he crossed the line first, but I’ve never attacked an innocent person with a skill!

…If you ask me if there are any, I won’t be able to answer with confidence!

‘…Is there really no way?’

If my grandfather says something like this, there really is no answer.

Ouch. It’s really annoying!

Damn it, I wish some idiot would give me a reason.

Then I’m going to put all my frustration into it and destroy that bastard!

Recently, Arthur Soladin was feeling that the academy professors were looking at him in a subtle way.

Not everyone was like that, but those who belonged to the 1st or 2nd queen faction were clearly upset with Arthur.

It was clear what the reason was. You probably don’t like the fact that he keeps popping up when he should be nothing.

Arthur was very uncomfortable with this situation.

I’ve said several times that I have no interest in power, but why are they so wary of me?

No matter how many people around me stand out, is there any way that I, who is half-treated as an illegitimate child, can challenge the throne?

Even as Arthur grumbled, he was aware that his current situation was unique.

The best friend of Duke Patran’s daughter.

I am close to the saint who is like a symbol of the church.

I often talk to Confucius Burrow, who recently re-entered the school as a first-year student.

He often sparred with the Lady of Kent, who was considered to be the next swordsman.

She is the only royal family to have a favorable relationship with Lucy Alln, who has been a frequent topic of discussion recently, and is close enough to receive training from the Aln family.

There is no lack of individual ability either.

Arthur, who literally has everything except his maternal family’s shortcomings and his young age, is a dangerous person who can upset the balance if he wants to.

Arthur, well aware of this phenomenon, did his best to appear harmless.

However, his detached attitude did not have much effect, and the surrounding environment continued to make him uncomfortable even though he did not want it to.

‘Wow. If you continue like this, you will be caught up against your will.’

Arthur remembered the story Cecil had once told him and realized that her advice was right.

Isn’t that exactly the situation right now?

Thinking of Second Prince Cecil, who had been acting strangely passionately recently, Arthur chuckled and moved on to the next class.

Let’s see. Is what I have to listen to and evaluate this time a class related to royal etiquette?

The professor who teaches the class is.

[Balyan Cloak]

The moment he saw the professor’s name, Arthur’s brow furrowed.

Because the man named Balian Cloak was a person who had only a bad relationship with Arthur.

A person obsessed with noble status.

A person who despised Arthur, saying he was born with low blood.

One of these people who made Arthur sensitive to being ignored by others.

Arthur, recalling a memory from his childhood, stopped for a moment and then walked forward with a long sigh.

Now, I can’t tell Lucy Alln that I can’t do it.

If you do that, you’ll have to deal with that guy’s ridicule with all your heart.

If that’s the case, I’ll just have to take a short class from a person I don’t want to see.

There won’t be any problem. He was pushed to the back room a few years ago, so his temper must have died a lot. You won’t openly argue with me like you did before.

While thinking about this, Arthur moved his feet and came face to face with Balian Cloak in the hallway next to the classroom.

“Long time no see. 3 Prince.”

“…I never thought I’d see you in a place like this. Clock Palace Bag.”

“At the moment when I started to notice because I was just resting, an opportunity arose to take on the honorable task of spreading knowledge, so I volunteered.”

Facing the abominable smile typical of the court nobles, Arthur felt a prickling sensation in his stomach and raised the corners of his mouth.

“You’ve accomplished a lot recently. Even though it happened in the distant past, I was truly happy to have taught the prince.”

Although it sounded like a compliment on the outside, Arthur knew that it was dark on the inside.

Saying that you have accomplished a lot and at the same time mentioning something from the past means that you need to know the topic and be appropriately biased.

That’s what this guy said every time.

“It’s still not enough.”

I feel like I want to rush in, but I shouldn’t. It’s true that this guy has been pushed back, but there are too many eyes watching him now.

It’s time to be patient right now. When Arthur suppressed his anger and lowered his head, Cloak responded as if he was proud of him.

“I can’t believe you still remember the virtue of humility. As a teacher, I am truly happy.”

Let’s ignore it.

What is left of spending our emotions on an old man who has not forgotten his past glory even after his downfall?

This guy will disappear soon anyway. It’s okay to ignore it.

“It would have been great if you had slightly better blood.”

The moment Arthur lifted his head up at the sarcastic voice and strengthened his fist.

“Puhahaha♡”

Laughter was heard from next to him.

The laughter was so vivid that Arthur was stuck in his ears.
