I Became the Academy’s Female Delinquent Chapter 9. Breaking the Academy (1)

“Get down!”

In the face of the sudden situation, Doyun shouted quickly.

But it was already too late.

A collision with someone flying in was unavoidable.

*Wham!*

But there was no collision.

Thrud effortlessly caught the male student flying towards them with one hand.

She laid him down on the floor, limp, and tilted her head.

“He’s in our class, isn’t he?”

Doyun’s eyes widened at the identity of the male student who had flown in like a cannonball.

“Jaime?! Why are you flying?”

Doyun was flustered by the sight of his close friend, the lancer Jaime, flying in like a rag.

“Looks like he’s unconscious?”

Elsie’s voice suddenly came from behind.

“E-Elsie? When did you get behind me?!”

“Something flew in, so I dodged it. This guy… he was next to you earlier.”

The lancer Jaime. He was one of the two boys who had stared at Elsie with wide eyes when Han Doyun brought up lunch.

Elsie’s voice gradually faded with embarrassment as she recalled the memory of receiving quite a bit of fervent attention.

Meanwhile, the silver energy surrounding Elsie’s body was rapidly fading.

‘What did she do? I didn’t see her move at all?’

He hadn’t seen Elsie move behind him.

It was the first time his eyes hadn’t caught something.

Doyun was quite shocked by that fact.

“To fly in like this and pass out, he must have been fighting.”

There was a large mark on his abdomen, as if he had been hit by a cannonball.

In any case, Elsie was able to confirm the scene of the commotion, and her eyes widened.

“That’s Eir and… Radgrid?”

She saw two Valkyries who had been NPCs in the Aesir Saga.

They were crouching in front of huge figures.

‘I guess they’re just students here.’

Elsie had recognized the Valkyries’ faces when she first entered the class. It wasn’t that surprising.

The problem was why they were at the center of this commotion.

As far as Elsie remembered, those two weren’t Valkyries who were close to the combat type, even in the settings.

‘Eir was a healing Valkyrie with healing abilities… and Radgrid was in charge of the Landgrid raid gimmicks with her material transfer ability…’

It was necessary to consider that they had become ordinary students from Valkyries.

If the opponents were those giants, the odds wouldn’t be high.

“Wait… giants? Are they giants? Oh…”

“Looks like giant students… Hmph, they’re bigger than me.”

Thrud approached Elsie, looking quite upset.

Elsie shook her head, dumbfounded by the sight.

“Those lumps are giants, what are you upset about? What’s your… race?”

“Half-elf.”

Thrud’s race, which hadn’t even appeared in the Aesir Saga settings.

‘She’s a hybrid!’

Elsie, who loved digging into settings, was happy to learn new information.

‘Except for Reginleif, the Valkyries’ races were never properly described! Now that it’s like this… Oops…’

This wasn’t the time.

“What’s going on?”

“Who knows? Did they fight?”

A classmate who flew in like a rag.

And Eir, crouching and trembling in front of three giant students, and Radgrid, embracing her.

It smelled like a fight.

Elsie and Thrud, leaving Doyun to take care of his unconscious friend, stepped forward.

They could feel the gazes of the three giant students, who stood there with their arms crossed.

Elsie, smelling the fight and igniting her fighting spirit.

Elsie, who had been following Thrud confidently while modestly holding down her skirt, became flustered by the attention and gradually shortened her steps.

“…Thrud, walk a little slower.”

“Why?”

“Cover me…”

Elsie stuck close behind Thrud and approached the giant students.

Thrud’s lukewarm gaze of disbelief was a bonus.

“Someone who acts like they don’t see anything when they fight…”

“S-Shut up…! I’m just not used to getting unnecessary attention, okay?”

Elsie, standing behind Thrud with only half her body showing, looked up at the giant student who seemed to be the representative in the center.

Sharp, torn eyes, icy blue eyes close to sky blue. Short, white hair reminiscent of a snowfield.

He most resembled the frost giant of the Aesir Saga among the giant students here.

Standing well over 2 meters tall, with bulging muscles that were visible even over his school uniform.

He was truly an overwhelming physique befitting the name of a giant.

“He’s huge…”

It was the enormous size of the giant that she hadn’t really felt in the game.

Elsie looked up at him with disgust.

This was worse than Thrud.

Thrud was at least slender and cute, but this giant lump was just suffocating to look at.

‘Wow, he’s just wide in the front, back, and sides.’

“What are you?”

The giant student tilted his head.

The eyes in his sharp gaze slowly turned to Elsie and Thrud.

“The guy you just blew away and the girls crouching here are in our class. I’m the class president, so I can’t just let it go?”

Thrud spoke a little sullenly, still upset that he was bigger than her.

Then he stroked his chin as if he had realized something.

“I see. I understand. I’ll explain what happened. No, it’s polite to reveal my name first! I am Truth, a warrior of the great Hrimthursar!”

“Uh… I’m Thrud Baltira, a half-elf from Vanaheim.”

“Hmm! From Vanaheim…!”

The frost giant student, who introduced himself as Truth, nodded at Thrud’s name.

Then he looked down and began to stare intently at Elsie.

Because Elsie was only showing half her body, he took some time to observe.

And soon, he came to a conclusion.

“…Are you an angel?!”

“What….”

Elsie staggered, caught off guard by the sudden nonsense.

“Pfft!! An angel? Ahahaha!”

Thrud burst out laughing at the sight.

“Anyway, good. I’ll explain. One of the girls crouching there spilled water on me. In Jotunheim, pouring water is an act of dueling worthy of an enemy! I couldn’t just let it go with the honor of Hrimthursar at stake.”

At Truth’s explanation, Eir, who was crouching, trembled and teared up.

“I’m sorry, Thrud… I fell…”

“So you were going to hit our kid?”

Thrud asked fiercely, twisting her wrist.

“Listen to the end, Thrud… small one.”

“Who are you calling small!!”

Thrud’s eyes turned fierce at the word small.

“Is there anything left to hear?”

Elsie’s murmur was ignored.

“Originally, I would have had to duel with that girl named Eir. I actually tried to carry out the duel honorably, but a lancer stopped me. I didn’t want to unilaterally attack an opponent who didn’t want to fight either. So I just had a proxy duel.”

Truth, who had explained that far, sighed and shook his head as if he was a little disappointed.

“Take a breath when you talk…”

Elsie’s voice didn’t seem to be heard.

“He didn’t even draw his weapon and was knocked out in one hit. It wasn’t an honorable duel at all. I can’t end it like this.”

“This isn’t Jotunheim, just let it go!”

“No, why are you talking so much.”

Thrud rarely got excited and huffed at the absurd conclusion.

Elsie’s grumbling was still ignored.

“I can’t do that. This is Midgard, but I am a warrior of Hrimthursar. Even though I am a student at the academy now…”

“Hey, lump!!”

Truth’s bizarre behavior of trying to spout nonsense again without taking a breath.

Elsie couldn’t stand it anymore and called out to him.

It was courage she had mustered because if she left him alone, that mouth wouldn’t stop.

“What is it, angel?”

“No, don’t call me an angel. Call me a warrior instead.”

Then Truth looked down at Elsie with a scornful, sharp face and shouted as if scolding her.

Around that time, Elsie had hidden about 70% of her body behind Thrud.

“If you want to call yourself a warrior! You must be a strong enough to satisfy me in a duel for the insult of being splashed with water! In my opinion, you are…”

“You talk too much! Let’s do it!”

Elsie, who was about 80% hidden behind Thrud, shouted again.

“What?”

“Let’s fight, whether I’m a warrior or not.”

Elsie, who had completely hidden behind Thrud and was no longer visible, provoked Truth.

“Provocation is useless. I can tell just by looking… no, come out a little. I can’t see you…… You’re not coming out… Anyway, you’re not a warrior. You’re like that girl named Eir…… Um, come out now.”

The conversation was with Elsie, but the face he was facing was Thrud, who was making a dumbfounded expression.

‘What’s going on? Could it be! Is this the Midgard way of talking?!’

Truth felt a sense of absurdity for the first time in a long time.

Small and seemingly fragile, as if she would disappear if touched.

Elsie was the person who seemed least like a warrior to Truth.

Her appearance, which exuded nobility, was closer to an angel in a story.

‘Should I just throw a punch first? No, there must be a more certain way to provoke this lump of a guy…’

He just keeps spouting whatever he wants.

Elsie, wanting to properly rile up Truth, who was completely unreasonable, looked around.

Because she had a pretty good idea.

“Elsie, I’ll handle it, so now…”

Thrud tried to step in for Elsie, who seemed to be looking for something.

But Elsie put a finger to her lips, signaling her to wait.

“…Are you trying to seduce me?”

“Agh, no, you idiot! I’m trying to give that lump a reason to fight, so just wait!”

“…Cute!”

“G-Get away!”

Elsie and Thrud were bickering again in front of Truth and the giant students.

In the meantime, Han Doyun, who had finished cleaning up, approached.

“If you’re going to settle things with the giant kids, I’ll help too. I have to avenge my friend.”

“Oh, good. There happen to be three of those lumps too. A 3:3 duel is good, good.”

“Can you guys not decide things on your own? I’m the class president!”

Truth looked down at them with a look of disdain.

And he exchanged glances with the two giant students standing next to him and shrugged.

“I don’t know if I’m watching academy students or comedians. What are you trying to do? If there isn’t a proper proxy duelist, I will duel that Eir girl according to etiquette. She doesn’t seem to have the strength to fight, so I’ll just lightly knock her unconscious as a formality…”

“Hiek…”

Truth’s cold gaze felt like facing the cold of the snowy fields.

Eir shook her head so much that her light greenish hair fluttered.

She quickly burrowed into Radgrid’s arms.

“Hey! Where does she have to hit to try and hit her?! Damn it, where did that Landgrid idiot go at such an important moment!”

Radgrid, grumbling, recalled Elsie’s actions of looking around as if searching for something a little while ago and her eyes lit up.

She doesn’t know much about Elsie, who came to school for the first time today.

Just that she is good at fighting and seems shy in strange places.

But she seemed to know what Elsie was aiming for.

‘She said a reason to fight… Alright.’

Light burst from Radgrid’s fingertips as she reached for a cup of water placed on a nearby table.

“Isn’t there anything bigger… Hmm… Okay, this should be enough? Thrud!”

At Radgrid’s shout, Thrud, who was still bickering with Elsie, turned her head sharply.

“Radgrid?”

“I’ll transfer this, so give it to that kid.”

“Wh-What?”

The corners of Radgrid’s lips twisted into a meaningful smile.

“A reason to fight.”

At the sight, Elsie smiled along with Radgrid.

The world has changed, and the Valkyries are no longer Valkyries.

But after all, they were still Valkyries who could not be separated from battle.

Truly a Valkyrie-like appearance.

A large water jar appeared in front of Thrud due to Radgrid’s material transfer ability.

“Could it be?”

Elsie approached Thrud, who had inadvertently picked up the jar.

“Yeah. If they don’t want to fight, we can make them want to fight, right?”

Elsie, with a mischievous smile, took the jar from Thrud and turned to look at Doyun.

Elsie winked at Doyun, sending a signal.

Judging that he was trying to create distance as he staggered back a few steps, she shouted at Truth.

Her blood was already boiling at the thought of fighting.

“Hey! You whitey with the big mouth!”

“Wh-Whitey?!”

“If you’re so scared to fight me, I’ll make you fight even if you don’t want to? This is a Jotunheim-style reason!!”

Elsie, carrying a jar almost as big as herself, strode closer.

Truth unfolded his arms for the first time.

“You, put down what’s in your hand right now…”

Elsie smiled brightly.

It was such a bright smile that it seemed innocent.

“Want to taste some water?”

Splash!!!

The water, full in the large jar, was poured unreservedly towards the giant students.

Crash!

Elsie, throwing down the jar, dusted off her hands and took a step forward.

And she lightly loosened her neck and shoulders.

Elsie was already in battle mode.

And she began to smile violently as she looked at Truth, who was completely soaked.

“I think you’ll want to fight now. I’ll show you what a warrior is.”

Thrud and Doyun slowly approached behind Elsie.

“So, this is what you were planning?”

Weapon Summon: Gauntlets of Power.

Clang!

Thrud clashed the gauntlets that were summoned, emitting a golden light. Thrud looked at the giant students who had turned into wet cotton lumps like that.

“That wink was for this……”

Doyun shook his head as if trying to shake something off and muttered quietly.

“Balmung.”

ㅡClatter!

His treasured sword responded to his flustered call.

Academy cafeteria exit, about 30 seconds before the start of the battle.
