Helmut
Episode 214
‘What is the intention?’
Did he think of Charlotte as a competitor, and now see him as someone who needs to be embraced?
There was always a reason for Michael’s kindness. The reason Michael did not go to the academy was not simply because of his health problems.
This is to solidify his position as the successor to the family while Charlotte is away.
When Charlotte returns, everyone in the family will be following Michael.
Helmut’s answer was simple.
“Ask me why I don’t like it.”
The priority is to make sure that what you dislike is true, but what is important after that is the reason.
Charlotte opened her mouth again.
“I know why you don’t like it. But yeah, she never asked.”
I’m just guessing. Charlotte had a difficult time with Michael.
I don’t think I’ve ever been angry at him.
Charlotte just endured it. Michael’s harsh words and his hostility.
With only the reasons that seem unknown.
“What will you do if you find out why you don’t like it?”
“I’ll leave it alone.”
Charlotte’s eyes widened.
“What should I do…” … “Don’t you feel it?”
“Well, I don’t know how to change other people’s minds.”
I never learned anything like that. Helmut also knew that he had no talent.
My brother hates me. Of course, it was something that could have happened.
Even if his mother accepts him, Helmut is like a stone flying from somewhere.
Even if you have a brother, it will not be easy to accept him based on blood ties alone.
Nobles have a lot. Will they really accept the existence of brothers who have to divide their property?
Helmut had no intention of harming their own order. He had so much wealth that he no longer wanted it.
Of course, I didn’t know what would happen if we met.
Even if you don’t know that he has the sprout of darkness, if Helmut’s mere presence is annoying, it’s something you can’t do anything about.
If it’s an opponent you can’t beat up, kill, or do anything to, the answer is simple.
Just face it. And the moment of face-to-face meeting has not yet arrived.
It is too early to think about relatives who may or may not exist and who you do not know how to treat yourself.
Helmut responded calmly.
“But I know what I have to do.”
Charlotte suddenly realized. What is important now is not Michael’s feelings, which we might be able to understand even after meeting him face to face.
It was a comprehensive swordsmanship competition.
Helmut knew how to reach conclusions surprisingly quickly.
Helmut’s determination eased Charlotte’s worries.
Even though I knew it, I put back the nerves that had been stolen. Charlotte, whose head was now clear, nodded to him.
“okay.”
It felt strange yet amazing. Charlotte had already been impressed by Helmut’s strength, his swordsmanship, and sincerity.
As a fellow prosecutor and as a senior, I have a lot to learn from him.
It wasn’t that I had feelings for him, but it was true that I thought he was a good senior.
“What you said is correct.”
“Go now.”
Helmut gave a brief recommendation. He calculated in his head that this wouldn’t be a very long conversation.
Charlotte also stood up as if she noticed something.
“Oh, I heard you have a fiancee or girlfriend, so I apologized. “He might be displeased.”
Helmut responded with a wince.
“You’ll be displeased.”
But we can’t help what has already happened. Now that things had come to this, he decided to ask a question.
“If you’re from Linosa, you probably have family in Linosa.”
Helmut took a quick look. Charlotte said hesitantly.
“Yes, it is. Well, if you go to Linosa… … “You might be surprised.”
“You’re going to be surprised?”
“Yes, that’s why our family is…” … .”
Charlotte was worried. Should I just say it?
You will find out anyway, but talking about it now would be against Academy regulations.
Even if it’s against the rules, no one will know that she broke the rules unless Helmut tells her.
It was the moment when Charlotte made a decision and was about to open her mouth.
At that moment, a cold cry suddenly erupted from the other side.
“What are you doing there? “Have you been hanging around chatting all this time?”
It was Leon. He walked down from the top of the hill and cast a murderous look at Helmut.
I was worried that Helmut and Charlotte would be alone, so I came to check on them.
But aren’t the two of you having a conversation?
In his eyes, the two seemed quite friendly. For a moment, my stomach twisted.
“sorry. “I was going to go now.”
Charlotte bowed her head. She quickly grabbed the handle of her water bottle and started walking.
It’s as if he doesn’t feel any trouble from the weight of the heavy water container.
Charlotte left first, and Helmut also tried to return to camp.
However, the moment he was about to pass by Leon, he suddenly opened his mouth.
“She is noble. “You are a commoner.”
It was as if he was telling me not to look at a tree that I couldn’t climb for no reason. Helmut asked calmly.
“Aren’t you a student at the same academy?”
“Once you leave the academy, it’s not the same. Even though school rules are followed only within the academy, everyone knows that fact. “I don’t think you know.”
Even if you know it, it is an insignificant fact. So does being a nobleman protect his neck from Helmut’s sword?
That wouldn’t be the case. This guy in front of me didn’t even have the skills to be confident about that.
Helmut faced him with cold eyes.
Facing the eerie black eyes, Leon felt somewhat intimidated.
But he struggled to pull himself together.
No matter how ominous his black eyes are and the person who gives off a strange feeling, he is only a second year student. Does it make sense that she feels intimidated!
Leon gritted his teeth and asked.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Senior, I don’t like it.”
“Okay, then what should we do?”
Helmut’s eyes darkened. As if an abyss was blooming in the center of the eye.
“Then don’t be a bother and just spar.”
Just because you’re an instructor doesn’t mean you’re constantly watching them one by one.
It doesn’t matter if you secretly fight late at night, or if you don’t feel like it, you can formally hang out.
I was just wondering if it would make a difference if we differentiated between superiority and inferiority in skill.
Anger appeared on Leon’s face.
“what? Be cheeky! “Do you think you can win against me now?”
“of course.”
Helmut answered briefly. The corner of his mouth was slowly lifted.
“Why don’t you check it? A real sword would be better.”
I heard that real swords are used in comprehensive sword fighting competitions anyway.
It was closer to actual competition than the competition taking place at the academy.
Because the feeling of using a wooden sword is different from the feeling of using a real sword.
If you spar with a real sword, you can pretend it was a mistake and put your opponent in a more dangerous situation.
Of course, to the point where you won’t die.
Luxen, a professor at the Department of Magic, is with us. It wouldn’t be difficult to deal with such a situation as long as one’s life wasn’t immediately cut short.
Anyway, all you have to do is reach Rinosa in good condition.
Whatever bloody thoughts Helmut had in mind, Leon had no idea.
What filled him was the anger that he had to punish this second grade kid who dared say he could beat him.
But Leon was also an excellent swordsman. Among them, if it weren’t for Helmut, it would be enough to represent an academy.
An excellent prosecutor must be able to distinguish between situations.
You should not fight with an angry mind. Could it be that he could kill that guy himself?
I was aware that they were the same Greta Academy selection staff. Blatantly causing trouble is something that doesn’t suit Leon.
He also cared about faculty evaluations and his own reputation.
Isn’t that why I only touched it gently?
Leon, barely able to control his anger, asked.
“I guess that means you won’t avoid sparring, right?”
“There’s no reason to avoid it.”
It was an indifferent tone. If you touch yourself there, you can touch him too.
It was simple to end things by colliding.
‘Insolent bastard!’
Helmut’s words sounded dismissive to Leon.
Leon did not think Helmut’s confidence had any basis. It was because of his pride that Helmut’s skills were no better than his own.
Even though I had heard rumors about Helmut, pride blinded me.
Actually, if you think about it a little, you can figure it out.
It is not easy for a commoner to be this confident. Unless you have the skills to do so.
Leon calmed his voice and spoke calmly.
“Okay, then I’ll tell the instructor. “I’m going to spar with you.”
“Are you planning to spar in front of everyone?”
It would be right to do so, but it was a bit disappointing.
Helmut had been living his life at the academy quite quietly since the dispute that broke out in the first semester.
In front of the instructors, shouldn’t you take matters into your own hands? A glimpse of life passed through his black eyes.
Leon shouted triumphantly.
“Yes, of course. “You will clearly realize your skills and position in front of everyone!”
“Please do so.”
Helmut answered indifferently. He immediately turned around. Before arriving at Rinosa, a conclusion will be reached.
*
It was late at night. Helmut was training as usual.
I had told the instructor that I would be away for a while to practice.
The fact that one should not act alone does not apply to Helmut. Because even the instructors knew of his skills.
Helmut was not the kind of guy who would be in danger because of anyone, even if he was a danger to someone.
Instructor Patricia only gave a word of caution.
“You shouldn’t go too far.”
At one point while swinging the sword, light came on in the bracelet.
Helmut knew that a call had come from Area.
When I blew vis into the bracelet, a small image the size of a human face was drawn before my eyes.
A bright silver light shone through. It was Area’s room.
She was sitting in front of her desk with her hair flowing down.
It was a surprisingly vivid video. As if she were sitting right in front of her.
“hi.”
She smiled brightly and asked what happened today.
Helmut hesitated for a moment. He said he wouldn’t tell Charlotte.
But what if you wonder what Area was talking about?
Fortunately, Area paid more attention to the events on the other side.
“So, we ended up sparring?”
“They said they would do it.”
“Good. Step on it.”
Area, who spoke clearly, added after a moment.
“Ah, in moderation. Because he is a man of the Imperial Marquis. He could be annoying to you if you do what he did in the first semester.”
“It will be a sparring with the faculty watching anyway.”
“And you talked to Charlotte?”
Area’s focus returned there.
Fortunately, perhaps because Helmut was talking about the conversation that took place in the carriage with Instructor Patricia, Area didn’t seem to care much.
“Charlotte, if you’re curious, shall I investigate? “I could find out in a day what family someone comes from.”
Area laughed.
She was in contact with the dean. Just because she’s the dean doesn’t mean she’ll tell Arrea everything.
Area was able to find out what she wanted to know without being noticed by the dean.
