… A duel that ended in vain, contrary to expectations.
Although Lee Han was filled with disappointment, those who actually watched the duel felt differently.
– Gulp.
What changed the most was the way we looked at him.
Originally, there were some looks filled with a certain amount of disgust, but now there was no more disgust, and occasionally there were looks filled with admiration and longing.
Most of them were of commoner origin, and the rest, like those of noble origin, were mostly looked upon with curiosity.
Perhaps, he decided that it would be a good idea to become friends.
Anyway, this is why the noble race is a group of people I don’t like.
But if you don’t feel affection, then you don’t feel affection.
Lee Han finally started with a proper greeting.
“I introduced it before the sparring, but I’ll introduce it again. It’s Lee Han Turtle. By the way, it’s Lee Han, not Lee Han. Remember it well.”
-… … .
“At least give me an answer, you clueless bastards.”
-Yes, yes!
“The answer is good.”
Anyway, these golden chicks, when will they grow up to be human babies?
“… I’m from the Silver Lion Knights, and as you know, I’m from a commoner background. Everyone who knows probably knows. Oh, and if there are any who don’t want to be taught because I’m from a commoner background, they don’t have to come out like the 2nd and 3rd year students. It’s similar whether I come out later or not.”
“The penalty points are….”
“There are no penalty points. I find it easier to teach only the people I want to teach. Just do well during the exam period. You want to get credits, right? Well, if you don’t need that, just take another class. The correction period is over, but I’ll go to another class instructor or lecturer and ask them to do the same for you.”
For Lee Han, this was an act of goodwill.
It was a shame to see the number of toys for sparring decrease, but he was not the kind of person who would be so irresponsible as to neglect those who wanted to learn seriously.
On the contrary, those who are willing to put in the effort are welcome.
Just like there is such a thing as a running mate, training together has shown quite good effects.
“Oh, feel free to attack whenever you want. Sparring is welcome.”
“Kunta is coming!”
“You go and get your back treated. What did you do when you were sparring with other people?”
“… … Hmm.”
Kunta became sullen.
However, this statement was not limited to Kunta.
“The others are the same. Those who were watching the fight and not treating anyone, get treatment right away. There are just too many patients.”
“Isn’t that all the instructor’s work?”
“whatever?”
“… That’s just what I’m saying.”
Garland’s words were ignored, and the people who had been rolling on the ground that day quickly disappeared.
It was to go to the recovery room where the healer was waiting.
‘As expected from the Academy. The support is crazy.’
Considering that the salary of a healer is roughly equivalent to that of a deputy manager at a large corporation, aren’t you able to afford it?
Not only that, if you hire a healer, you will automatically have to pay a monthly donation to the temple.
With that kind of money, you could build a new building every week and still have some left over.
‘I should use it often in the future.’
When I think of the Healer Priest, I feel a strange sense of satisfaction.
“Teacher, teacher, then what will we learn?”
Questions came from those who had not been paying much attention.
“What’s your name?”
“Re, Levi Fault, Instructor.”
“Hmm. Are you a noble?”
“Ha, it’s just a humble family.”
“Hmm, does the cadet want to learn swordsmanship?”
“… Still, if I can learn something after taking the class once… I want to do it!”
“okay…?”
He seems like a pretty smart kid.
At first glance, she is clearly a noble girl who has never learned swordsmanship.
She must be a frail girl who would rather prepare to be a social debutante than practice swordsmanship.
A girl who doesn’t fit into the swordsmanship department.
But there’s nothing particularly strange about it.
Besides that girl, about half of them were like that.
To be honest, the reason most girls who had never washed dishes before showed up to his lectures was… .
‘You must be looking for a fiancé or a debutante partner.’
Just as prom parties often feature a queen and king, as seen in American movies and dramas, the element of a great partner is important at debutantes.
In particular, it was common in aristocratic society for those who might become future knights to attend debutantes and even get engaged.
I think they are probably the type of people who came here after this.
In some ways, it’s a bit annoying.
Lee Han wasn’t particularly interested.
The reason this academy is maintained is because of the massive patronage of these nobles.
That was also the reason why I could afford to hire a healer.
However, it is unexpected that their eyes sparkle as if they are seeking teachings.
Why are you doing that?
“Isn’t that because the fight between the instructor and Prince Roen was so great? People tend to have admiration for things they can’t do.”
“…Is that so?”
“Especially girls from noble families. They must have grown up in greenhouses their entire lives, so this kind of stimulation must be mystical. Well, it won’t last long. Since noble women are very resistant to sweating, they will all go away after sweating a little. That’s why I heard that the girls in the swordsmanship department stop coming to class after just one semester.”
“You know so well?”
“Hehe, since you are from an academy, I have heard a lot about you.”
“This is a good source of information. It’s useful.”
“thank you!”
“…But, assistant.”
“Huh?”
“Can you stop sticking your face in there? When I see your face, I feel like hitting you.”
“… Yes.”
“Yeah, it’s nice to see you. You should always be like that when you talk to me from now on.”
“……shit.”
“I can hear you, assistant.”
Damien, or rather the assistant (slave)’s eyes became moist again.
* * *
Class is over today.
Just as universities usually finish classes early on the first day, they also showed flexibility.
Before we knew it, all the cadets had left and the training ground became quiet.
Only Lee Han remained, and the darkening sky was somewhat worth seeing.
“hmm.”
However, rather than looking up at the beautiful sky, Lee Han found it more helpful to recall the sparring that had taken place that day.
‘Sup, maybe I should have dug in a bit faster back then?’
Even though it was a match against those who were infinitely weaker than him, it wasn’t like there was nothing to learn.
Why is a prestigious family a prestigious family?
The basics are dirty and non-existent, but don’t you know a lot of advanced techniques?
The pearl is from a swine’s neck, but if a non-swine can get some of the pearl, that is also a great achievement.
Four people in particular are noteworthy.
‘I think you said Kunta? Let’s fight that Barbarian guy again tomorrow. I guess I’ll take it slow this time. He’s a similar type to me, so I think it’ll be fun.’
‘The guy with the twin swords and the guy with the Bangcheonhwageuk were both fine.’
‘… The regressor guy was more sinister than I thought.’
I find myself more interested in other people than the guy I had been secretly hoping for.
There is a lot to learn.
Also, unlike him, they are guys with limitless potential.
They must be the so-called geniuses.
If he observes and fights those guys, his body will accumulate new information each time.
Didn’t Baltar do that?
What he needs is the accumulation of information through practical experience rather than theoretical learning.
And it’s quite welcome that there are guys out there who have a lot to learn from.
“… Now that I look at it, this job is pretty good.”
It was a job that was forced upon me by ISIS.
But today, I tried it like this and it wasn’t bad.
No, it couldn’t be better.
“Isn’t it totally rewarding?”
The title of Academy Instructor.
Now that I think about it, it’s more rewarding than when I was in the Knights Templar.
Lee Han smiled bitterly, feeling a sense of emptiness at having unexpectedly found a job that suited his aptitude.
Doesn’t it seem less boring than the Knights Templar, which only consists of those who avoid sparring and have no rewards?
……also.
“Hey, you little rat.”
There are quite a few more interesting ones.
“Come out quickly. It was the same the day before yesterday, and it is the same today. Why are you peeking like that?”
Saaaaak.
The wind blew as if licking the grass in the empty lot.
It’s just an empty lot, so what on earth does he mean?
In a strange and inexplicable situation, Lee Han tries to take out an axe from his bosom… .
Phew.
“… I’m sorry, Instructor. I didn’t mean to bother you.”
Suddenly a man appeared.
I know the face.
This is one of the faces I saw among the cadets.
A guy with no presence who was stuck right next to Roen.
Clearly the name.
“Was it Hans?”
“… This is Jack.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“… … Couldn’t you just put the hatchet in here?”
“Let me hear your answer first.”
Knock knock.
Lee Han lightly struck the ground with his axe and forced an answer.
Since I was watching him suspiciously, wouldn’t it not be strange if the axe flew?
In such a dire situation, Jack still kept a smiling face, but he was sweating profusely.
‘Did you notice me spying on you yesterday?’
It wasn’t him, exactly, but Irene Windler that was being watched, but who would have guessed?
‘As the lord said, he is no ordinary human being.’
He is a dangerous person.
It’s not just strong, there’s something special about it.
So, my lord too.
‘I guess we’ll have to draw a line to some extent.’
Jack barely managed to tear his dry lips apart.
“… My lord has a message for you.”
“You could have just done it like that. Do you really have to do it like this? After all, nobles are….”
“Do you know anything about ‘Angel’?”
“…?”
“You don’t know. That’s fine.”
“angel?”
“Let me just tell you this: You must not believe in angels or temples.”
It was a meaningless remark.
angel?
… Is that kid mentally ill?
There are many suspicious circumstances, but let’s hit the head later.
How do you know if it will be fixed?
He responded slyly, secretly showing good intentions(?) by offering to treat him.
“I am an atheist.”
“Haha, you are disrespectful. But I am also disrespectful, so I guess I am also disrespectful.”
“Hmm, I don’t know what it is, but it seems like you came to the Academy with some really impure intentions?”
“…I won’t deny it.”
Jack thought he might die at this moment.
If the instructor tries to kill him, he’ll die easily.
however
“But how old are you?”
“Huh?”
“How old are you, Inma?”
“I, I’m twenty.”
“… Your eyesight is really bad. I thought you lied about your age when you got into college.”
“You are going too far, Instructor… .”
It was strange to suddenly hear such outrageous accusations, and Jack frowned.
Lee Han laughed and shook his head.
I kind of expected it.
I don’t know if he’s an angel or what, but he usually appears as a regular villain in romance novels like a skeleton.
‘Either the royal family or the temple are the villains.’
Anyway, it is inevitable that we are the type of people who use our bones like that.
Then, Lee Han asked with a hopeful mind.
“Aren’t there any more humans I should be more wary of?”
“…Do you believe me?”
“It’s just a feeling. I don’t think it’s something I should be wary of.”
“… You seem like a very special person, Instructor.”
“Enough with the flattery. Is there anything else you want? Something fun?”
“Oh, fun… .”
Jack felt that saying any further would be an overreach.
However, Jack did not threaten me, and instead decided to take advantage of Leehan’s interest, which was like listening to a story told by a curious minstrel.
Because I had a feeling that if I got a good impression of this person, it would be of great help to me in the future.
“…Do you know anything about the second prince of the rascals?”
“Second Prince? Are you still raising a prince in the kingdom?”
I understand that since that older sister became the crown princess, all the princes in the country have disappeared.
If they were kicked out or disappeared without a trace, the answer would be to not pay attention.
But there was a prince left?
“Wow, the prince is not a dog, Instructor.”
Casual, rude language.
Shouldn’t this guy, a knight, learn to be careful with his words?
“Okay, Prince of the Lost? What’s that common name?”
“Oh, oh… Don’t you know that he’s quite famous? He’s rumored to be a cruel and mentally ill prince.”
“But why that guy?”
Lee Han asked why the name of the prince, whom he was not interested in, was being mentioned, and Jack.
“… This time, there is a story that that scoundrel entered the academy while hiding his identity. I don’t know the reason for this either.”
“entrance into school?”
“Yes. Honestly, I wonder if it’s necessary to be on guard, but he’s a prince, so shouldn’t he be careful?”
It was an acceptable story, and Lee Han nodded his head slightly and asked again.
I asked if there were any special features.
“Hmm, ah! I heard that the prince has a mental illness.”
“psychosis?”
“Yes, they say that you often do useless things like pointing your finger in the air.”
“… … .”
“Why are you doing that?”
“… No, it’s just that. I thought you were a little crazy.”
Yihan swore at him again, and Jack advised him not to do anything if anyone was listening, but Yihan paid no attention.
Rather than just blurting out rude language right away.
‘… What is this? There’s another one?’
Romance novel.
return.
This alone is quite a lot… .
‘Is it a status window this time?’
I’m thinking about this academy life again.
“under.”
There will be no time to be bored.
