Helmut
Episode 79
Helmut was walking down the street with Sian.
Sian was overly generous. Whenever I ran into him, not only did I cling to him, chatting with him about various things, but I also followed him to Kudrow’s mansion as if there was nothing to do on his day off.
Helmut, who had visited Kudrow Mansion to learn about life at the academy from his guardian Ethan and to do something similar, suddenly ended up having a meal with the three of them.
“As expected, the food is very delicious, befitting the Kudrow Mansion’s reputation. “I was surprised at how nice the mansion was.”
“okay? Thank you. “I will lift as much as I want.”
Ethan was satisfied with the fact that Helmut had a friend other than Area, a friend who seemed relatively sane.
Sian was a friendly boy with a gentle appearance.
It can be said that he also did his part, as the blunt dinner table has become much softer.
“It’s a long-awaited holiday. Would you like to take a look around Baden?”
At the end of the meal, Ethan also actively pushed his back to Sian’s offer.
“Yes, Baden is a big city too. “It would be nice to look around, not just downtown, but everywhere.”
It was Helmut who had no choice but to follow Xian.
‘Darian sent me to the academy to do this, right?’
Even though Helmut was convinced, the training hall was dimly lit.
I was satisfied that Ethan’s instructor-only training room at the academy was better than the training room at Kudrow Mansion.
It was something that I could definitely say was good in academy life, where it was unclear whether it was good or bad.
Sian spoke vaguely.
“Do you like it or should I say no?”
“what?”
“The good thing is that Instructor Ethan is your guardian. What didn’t work was that I had to leave this nice mansion and live in a stable-like dormitory. “And that while sharing a room with a nasty roommate.”
It was generally understandable, but there was one thing that needed to be pointed out.
“I have no problem with Area.”
“really? “How can that be?”
It was a look in his eyes that made no sense.
Sian confessed that he also tried to become friends with Area during his first year, but gave up because Area was only interested in his spirit.
After that, Sian concluded that Area was cold-blooded and had a broken personality who could not be friends with anyone.
He thought that Helmut was indifferent and would easily accept anything Area said.
That was a good idea, but Helmut got along well with Area.
Since he had nothing to say in defense, Helmut spoke simply.
“Area comes home late.”
“Yes, you are tormenting me instead! “I am summoning more spirits than I have ever summoned in my entire life.”
“I think your skills have improved a bit?”
“Can you feel it? “Has my magical power increased?”
“okay.”
“If this continues, I will surpass Area and become the head of the magic department. If that happens, let’s see what kind of expression Alea will make!”
Although he thought it was a very unlikely event, Helmut did not necessarily discourage Xian’s expectations.
They were wandering around without a particular destination, buying snacks at a street store and suddenly stopped in front of a dark alley.
Something stumbled out from inside.
“what!”
Sian was surprised and took a step back behind Helmut. It’s a familiar sight.
Helmut calmly stared straight ahead. I realized there was someone there and raised my gaze.
When their eyes met, they recognized each other.
“Crazy dog?”
“Who is this crazy dog?”
The guy who made a loud noise fell down on the floor and was out of breath.
Xian approached the guy with a puzzled look. A bright light burst from his hand.
The image revealed in the light was a sight to behold. Blood was seeping through the scratched and torn clothes.
It seemed like there was a deep cut somewhere. It looks like a battle has been fought. Also in Baden.
“what’s the matter. It’s covered in blood. Are you going to come out and fight now?”
Xian knew how to scratch after seeing the other person’s condition. In other words, it was impossible for even a crazy dog to rush at him in this state.
Asuka narrowed her eyes.
“Who are you? “It’s dazzling, so get rid of that strange thing!”
The spirit of light seemed to like Asuka and thrust its brightly shining body in front of Asuka.
He rests his chin and glances at Asuka with curious eyes.
“Strange, that’s too harsh to say after seeing this cute spirit of light.”
“You sissy bastard.”
“Even if I die soon, I still live.”
Sian chuckled. These days, I find myself talking to strange people.
“But why did you come out of there? “What happened?”
“Something happened.”
That was when Asuka answered awkwardly.
“Over there!”
“There it is, everyone come here!”
“Persistent bastards.”
Asuka, who had collapsed in her seat, gritted her teeth and stood up. He opened and closed his hand and spoke seriously.
“Now that things have come to this, you guys also need to help me.”
His tone was as arrogant as that of a nobleman. It was also a tone that made me want to turn away even though I was trying to help him.
Sian pointed out.
“You have to be polite when asking for help. “If you speak with that attitude, the desire to help will disappear.”
“Are you guys planning to pretend not to notice a classmate in danger?”
“Wouldn’t it be more likely that you started an argument?”
“no! “There was no sword, but those cowardly bastards rushed in as a group!”
Asuka pointed her finger at the cowardly guys running from the other side.
It was definitely a many-to-one match, and it seemed like the other person wasn’t even an academy student.
Xian glanced at their faces and spoke seriously.
“These are the guys who attacked Greta Academy students in Baden? “I guess you’ve earned some resentment.”
“I bought some resentment.”
Helmut, who clearly saw what he had done with his own eyes, agreed and Asuka screamed.
“What are you going to say?”
“I didn’t do it like you did.”
Asuka, struggling to answer, bit her lip and glared at him.
I felt so weak. You’re thinking of asking these guys for help! My fever suddenly rose.
“If you won’t help me, at least lend me your sword! “I’ll take care of it.”
“Patient, please stay still. “Let’s resolve this verbally.”
Xian, a kind-hearted person, came forward. Actually, I thought it would be fun.
The men, who discovered that someone was with them, approached with caution and then changed their expressions.
“what? “They are children.”
“Hey, kids. “When I have nice things to say, leave him alone and go away.”
“We have some business to do with him?”
Asuka put up quite a bit of resistance against the majority, but they weren’t all that bad either.
However, compared to Asuka’s condition, it is a minor problem. Xian asked in a serious voice.
“Who are you who attacked the Greta Academy students in Baden?”
Asuka muttered next to her.
“That doesn’t work.”
“Are you a Greta Academy student?”
“Do you think an academy student can do anything in Baden? “If you get upset, you’ll be in trouble.”
The men responded crookedly.
“I see, that doesn’t make sense.”
Sian nodded. Helmut looked at them as if observing them.
The atmosphere was familiar. It’s not that they don’t have skills, but they are rougher and worse than mercenaries. They were of low quality.
There was no way an ordinary mercenary would take on the task of attacking academy students in an alley.
Helmut had encountered such people before.
“Black Hawk?”
The men frowned. This seems to have hit the nail on the head.
“What, do you know us?”
“Then, step back. “Because he’s the one we have business with.”
Touching three academy students was likely to cause problems. It was enough to make the requested guy lose the use of his arms or legs.
In any case, the opponents were commoners, and even the academy would not turn on its eyes and look for attackers. I understand that he got into an argument and got a little hurt.
Black Hawk formed relationships with noble families and made money by handling illegal requests.
It specializes in secret requests from mercenary guilds and other directions. This was also such a request. It’s also quite expensive.
There is no problem if you leave immediately after finishing work rather than staying in Baden. It was surprising that the opponent’s resistance was stronger than expected, but now he would no longer have the strength to run away.
However, just before they achieved their goal, they encountered an unexpected difficulty.
“It doesn’t work that way. “I have business to attend to you.”
Helmut drew his sword. Until a moment ago, he had intended to watch, but he changed his mind.
Was Black Hawk active in Baden as well? Black Hawk is his enemy. Since there was no need to fight these days, he was feeling a bit anxious.
This is an opponent that will have no problem even if you kill him outright.
The feeling of cutting flesh and bones. A familiar killing intent blooms from deep within the abdomen.
Meanwhile, Helmut lived like a herbivore. It’s a life that doesn’t suit him.
Regardless of whether I was a monster or a human, I felt comfortable before coming to Baden.
Xian, who noticed that Helmut was in an unusual mood, whispered in embarrassment next to him.
“Murder is difficult!”
“Don’t worry, I have no intention of killing you.”
It would be difficult to grow more sprouts of darkness, so I wasn’t planning on killing it even if I cut off one of its limbs.
An eerie light flashed through Helmut’s black eyes. The corners of his mouth deepen slightly.
He enjoyed fighting. He won’t be as frivolous as sparring against a group of people.
“Sweetheart, are you also a swordsman?”
The men snorted. A total of five people. Still, Asuka made it impossible for some people to follow her this far. Helmut instructed with his chin.
“Take him and leave.”
Xian grabbed Asuka and led her. It is best to leave the injured person out. Considering the situation, he was going to intervene as well.
Helmut lifted his index finger.
“Come at me.”
And the battle began.
***
“amazing!”
Sian clapped from behind with admiration in his eyes.
“As expected, he was a talented guy.”
Asuka muttered confusedly. The men who fell for the provocation rushed at Helmut, swearing.
Five armed prosecutors. But the results were overwhelming.
The men who had persistently followed Asuka fell helplessly one by one every time a gray flash flashed.
With a crunching sound, my arms and legs were cut.
Helmut took great pains to avoid cutting his own throat.
Less than three minutes later, the men were rolling around on the floor like toys. It looked like it would be difficult to escape as it was bleeding profusely.
Even if Asuka had been holding a familiar sword in her hand, I don’t think she would have been able to defeat her so cleanly.
“Scary bastard.”
Xian stuck out his tongue. I knew Helmut was strong, but the feeling of seeing him clearly like this was special.
It’s a bit tiresome, scary, and then you realize that he’s a pretty mediocre character.
If he had that level of skill, he would have been arrogant, but Helmut never boasted or looked down on anyone.
‘No, sometimes I feel arrogant.’
However, although he was a bit unfriendly, Helmut managed to deal with Xian, who was chasing him around, even though it was annoying.
If he had an arrogant personality to begin with, it would have been impossible for him to be roommates with Area.
‘Maybe it’s because I’m a commoner.’
Sian didn’t know that Helmut had already had the experience of forming an equal relationship with a guy named Finn, who was incompetent other than being good at cooking.
But one thing is certain: Helmut is merciless towards his enemies.
At that moment, Helmut kicked the man, who was lying down and bleeding profusely, with all his might. It was because I saw him trying to reach for the sword.
“Oops!”
With that one kick, my ribs went out. The man’s eyes rolled back in pain.
Helmut looked down at the figure indifferently and asked.
“Wouldn’t there be a bounty on these guys?”
Isn’t Black Hawk similar to a group of criminals? Now that things have come to this, it would be nice to earn some pocket money while using my body.
Xian looked at him with bewildered eyes.
‘Looking at this guy’s money, I’m sure he’s not a nobleman.’
“Well, well? “Anyway, since you attacked a student at Greta Academy, I think they will take care of it if you hand it over to the soldiers.”
“We need to find out who’s behind it.”
