Helmut
Episode 224
“You’re being picky about something that doesn’t matter.”
“You can understand this much, right? “I’m already training.”
“Yes, because we arrived early in Crete. “We belong to the same Academy in Baden, so don’t be so salty!”
Charlotte countered their nonsense.
“We arrived only a day early. And that’s against the rules.”
“Well, then, let’s talk about it when the instructors wake up.”
“Anyway, we have to finish our training.”
Robin and Taron looked at each other, twirling and laughing. They told me to go and tell them something.
It certainly doesn’t seem like who Charlotte was leaked out. They are particularly late due to rumors.
Charlotte was relieved, and as angry as she was relieved.
I know what their intentions are. It was a gender dispute to determine rank that often occurs in swordsmanship departments.
This is something I experienced well in the first semester at Greta.
Even though Charlotte was the only and pretty girl in first grade, there were some girls who were ignorant of that fact.
Without fail, they quarreled with Charlotte.
Of course, by the time Charlotte became the valedictorian of her first year of swordsmanship, even the most persistent had given in.
Charlotte knew that she shouldn’t show up weak to someone like that.
“It shouldn’t be like that. Please move out of the way.”
Charlotte cut it in an attitude as if not a single hair was going to get caught.
Robin and Taron pretended not to hear and immediately went to training and swung their swords.
What they had in their hands was a real sword. They say that Matesis values real sword sparring, but it was indeed an academy with the most injuries.
They are also selected personnel. Although it was a basic movement, the momentum with which the sword cut through the air was unusual.
They said we would train here and their attitude was, “What are you going to do?”
There are two of them and Charlotte is one. The instructors would wake up soon anyway, so it was a problem that could be solved if I told them.
But this kind of provocation should not be resolved that way. She was also a member of the swordsmanship faculty.
Charlotte pulled out her sword without hesitation. He is a real sword because he was about to compete.
Robin and Taron didn’t seem to care what she did.
Charlotte’s sword got stuck in front of Robin’s slashing sword.
Okay!
A sharp noise rang out.
Robin frowned.
“What are you doing?”
The sword was not threatening, but it dug in quickly enough to be chilling.
The sword loaded with vis was so fierce that it was difficult to underestimate. At one point, Robin stiffened her body.
“It means you can’t practice here. “I will cause trouble.”
It was a provocative attitude rarely seen in Charlotte. Her eyes were intense.
Robin growled.
“Look at this? “That’s cheeky!”
“Being cocky is better than being stupid. “I said this is the training center of Greta Academy.”
Taron, who was beside himself with a grin, nodded.
“Don’t do that, why don’t you deal with me. “Convince him.”
I immediately understood what it meant to convince people with their skills.
Taron was higher in rank than Robin. So it’s Robin’s job to take care of this fearless girl.
“I’ll deal with you if you want. “It’s a real sword sparring.”
“great.”
Charlotte nodded. He was a good opportunity for her too.
At Greta Academy, seniors usually avoided sparring with her for fear of losing and being embarrassed.
But they are unstoppable as if they wanted it.
It was the opposite. The reason is because he doesn’t think he will ever lose to Charlotte.
‘It’s a good thing the two of you aren’t planning on attacking us together.’
Matesis’ level is high. Whether it was Robin or Taron, there was no guarantee that Charlotte could win.
However, I don’t think I’m going to lose like I did against Helmut.
Charlotte is often looked down on. As such, he has often achieved unexpected victories.
Winning a victory over an unwary opponent was something she had done countless times before.
And Charlotte believed her eyes. I don’t know what Taron is like, but I can deal with Robin. Sure enough, I could win.
Robin snorted and opened his mouth.
“Okay, let’s start with the introduction. “I am Robin, a third year student at Matesis Academy.”
“This is Charlotte, a first year student at Greta Academy.”
Robin, who thought Charlotte was a third-year student who still looked a bit young, looked dumbfounded.
“First year? It’s a shame. Are there really no characters in Greta? “Isn’t it because you’re so pretty that everyone can’t even see you swinging your sword properly?”
“Thank you for the compliment. “It’s not the kind of praise I’m looking for, though.”
It was a familiar treatment. Everyone looked down on Charlotte. However, as Grand Duchess of Rinosa, she was never looked down upon, not even by the Black Wing Knight Commander.
And always Charlotte showed them the sword. Because a prosecutor speaks with his sword.
“It doesn’t matter. Because they won’t consider you a woman. “You will be very scolded today.”
“We’ll have to wait and see who will get scolded.”
“Your mouth is alive! “It may only be for a moment.”
Robin looked fiercely at Charlotte, who refused to give up and responded.
Taron put his sword to his waist, stepped aside, and crossed his arms. She was going to enjoy watching Robin humiliate Charlotte.
Charlotte and Robin took their seats with a reasonable distance between them. We were about to enter into a full-scale sparring.
“Do you need a judge?”
A soft voice came from the other side. A quiet and secret presence. No one noticed his appearance. Charlotte opened her eyes wide.
“Senior Helmut!”
Helmut was also second to none when it came to being diligent.
It looks like the fortress has been pushed back by Charlotte.
As soon as he woke up, he went to the training center and realized that a problem had arisen.
‘It’s a fight.’
Robin and Taron’s eyes widened when they saw the black-haired boy who appeared without any sign. They also didn’t notice Helmut’s approach.
The person called Helmut, unlike his appearance like a noble master, gave off a somewhat unusual feeling.
For some reason, it was difficult to look into the pitch-black eyes.
But that didn’t mean they were discouraged. I only flinch for a moment.
“Ah, this is called senior again.”
Robin looked Helmut up and down and scoffed.
Robin had an odd appearance from the start, giving him an unlucky appearance.
But in his eyes, the smooth Helmut seemed more unlucky.
Also, regardless of the atmosphere, Helmut did not look very physically strong.
At the lower grades, the difference between winning and losing was more based on physique and swordsmanship than on visuals.
That’s why the Greta Academy selection staff looked particularly low this time.
“Referee? Well, I like it. One from Matesis and one from Greta. “Just watch.”
Taron concluded simply. Helmut walked leisurely and stood aside.
‘What kind of child walks like this without making a sound?’
I felt like an assassin rather than a prosecutor. Taron glanced at him.
Helmut was not conscious of Taron’s gaze at all. I don’t think Charlotte will lose, but if she does, I plan on stepping forward only then.
The opponent at that time would be Taron, but I no longer had to worry about it. Because it’s just a small piece anyway.
The air that had been disturbed for a while was calmed down, and Taron announced the start.
“One, two, three!”
The sparring between Charlotte and Robin was intense.
Robin barely managed to block Charlotte’s first attack.
‘What’s so fast?’
If I were to be harsh, I almost wouldn’t have been able to accept it. It was a sword strike that made you open your eyes and cut your nose. However, it was not a speed that could not be blocked by Robin’s skills.
He soon realized that Charlotte’s skills were better than he thought.
Flexible, fast, and nimble. A type I’ve never dealt with before.
‘Wasn’t it a selection for no reason?’
He realized that the sparring that he thought could be easily completed would not be as easy as he thought.
The moment a swordsman crosses swords, he knows the strength of his opponent.
Robin wasn’t much of a nerd either. He let down his guard.
I didn’t think I would lose, but I decided to give it my all.
However, even though we gave our best, the sparring did not end easily. Rather, Robin felt like he was being put on the defensive.
Charlotte had sparred with Nils, Robin’s superior compatibility, several times. Charlotte, who had become accustomed to Nils, felt more comfortable dealing with Robin.
Follow that comfort, enough to break Robin’s sword!
However, before Charlotte could win, the sparring inevitably ended.
It was because of one person who appeared just as their bodies were drenched in sweat.
“There, stop! “What are you doing, sparring with real swords without the instructor’s presence?”
A cold command was issued. It was instructor Alan.
Charlotte and Robin froze. Taron’s face also hardened.
Only Helmut remained calm. He thought that Charlotte’s skills had improved considerably.
“Why are the Matesis Academy recruits here? This is actually the training center of Greta Academy. “Please explain why this happened.”
Taron, who corrected his expression, smiled and answered.
“I just found the wrong training center, but they immediately started a fight. Greta Academy’s swordsmanship students seem to have no patience.”
“That’s not true! “I asked them to get out of the way, but they didn’t get out of the way!”
Charlotte glared at Taron with startled eyes. He cocked his chin shamelessly.
Next to him, Robin was drenched in sweat and couldn’t even raise his head.
I had a hard time against a girl who was only a first year student.
The feeling of victory was barely there. There was a high probability of losing.
Taron must have noticed that fact too.
If the senior representatives found out, they would reprimand him for lowering Matesis’ prestige.
Robin gritted his teeth.
“Charlotte is a child who does not lie.”
“Well, it’s true that I asked to be able to use the training hall a little more. There were two people here and one person there. “At that time.”
“So there was a fight, and we ended up sparring. “Didn’t he think of informing the instructor?”
“I thought you were still taking a break.”
Charlotte answered confidently. She was a model student. It means that she knows how to behave well.
Going to the instructor to avoid an oncoming argument was the behavior of a typical model student, but it was not the desirable behavior of a first-year student in the swordsmanship department.
Instructor Alan gave a cold expression as he looked at the two Matesis Academy students in turn.
“If you want to fight properly, do it on stage. The opportunity will come soon. “Even if we say no, we cannot tolerate this kind of sparring invitation.”
With the competition just around the corner, he couldn’t beat the Matesis Academy student by lying face down.
Taron apologized lightly with a relaxed expression.
“I am sorry.”
“There will be a protest on Matesis’ side about this. I hope this never happens again. At that time, the instructor I saw wouldn’t end it with words. Did you understand?”
“yes.”
Taron neatly bowed his head and immediately left the training center, dragging Robin with him.
They were trying to deal with Greta Academy recruits, not the instructors.
It seemed like the situation was over.
