Helmut
Episode 90
“You idiot, you were more of an action type than words.”
It’s a somewhat unpleasant reaction. Helmut raised his eyebrows. Xian, who keenly sensed his reaction, intervened.
“Still, I’m glad the culprit was caught. “That won’t happen in the future.”
“I don’t know. “Are these guys who use people and even commit theft going to back down after being offended once?”
Asuka was right. I don’t think it will end like this.
The guys from the swordsmanship department also slowly turned in this direction, but due to what Asuka did, they were able to turn in that direction again.
“How was it last year? “Didn’t something similar happen to you last year?”
Sian quietly asked. In fact, not many people really knew what happened last year.
A fight broke out on a deserted campus, and Asuka bit off someone’s ear. That was the whole story of the known incident.
Even in the swordsmanship department, there were few people who really knew the whole story, and those who did the work transferred to other nearby academies or dropped out and did not remain.
The only ones who can answer are the instructor and Asuka, but there has never been anyone who could ask Asuka such a question.
“Well, there were several fights, but the decisive one was… … Last year, he just called me to a place where no one was around and attacked me openly. There were five people? It was just a gang fight. Honestly, the guys who attacked last year were at a higher level than this year. “It wasn’t easy for me alone.”
“What about biting off your ear?”
“You have to act crazy on this side to make them cringe on the other side. “Isn’t it obvious?”
Does it feel like an animal deliberately showing its teeth and acting threateningly?
Asuka was instinctive. They instinctively know how to choose things that are advantageous to them.
It was highly likely that that was the reason why he relented to Helmut.
“So, you said you wanted to avoid suspension this year, right? Then, no matter what anyone says, just be patient. “Helmut is holding back well.”
“That bird, no, he just has no emotions. She always swings her wooden sword with an expressionless face. “Actually, it’s not a person, it’s a doll or something, isn’t it?”
Asuka seemed to be aware of Helmut’s warning to be careful with her words, and quickly changed her vocabulary. At least it was a purified tone. Sian felt it and smiled.
“A doll. That’s not what you want to say. “Helmut asked me to heal you, but he also owes Alea.”
Sian, who happened to remember something at that moment, asked.
“What did Area ask for?”
If it’s Area, he won’t just end it with words, he’ll demand a lot of money. Sian could assure you.
“yet. “They said they would tell me if it was necessary.”
“More than that, Asuka. “We helped you, is there anything you want to say?”
“What do you mean?”
Asuka reacted sullenly. She was such a shameless brat that day, instead of saying thank you, she lost her temper the whole time and then disappeared.
The attitude seemed to be saying thank you in a subtle way, but it seemed difficult to put it all together.
“What are you doing this holiday?”
“I’m not doing much?”
“I knew it. Then I have a good idea. “We’re paying you back for being indebted to us.”
“What do you mean, I’m going to go around with you guys on holiday?”
Helmut’s eyes fell on Sian. I have never agreed to this either, but I am saying it as if it is obvious. It was as if Helmut’s holiday had been taken over.
Of course, we never talked about it at all.
“Okay, you’re not going to wash your mouth like this, are you?”
Surprisingly, Asuka reacted obediently.
“What, shoot rice? Yeah, but expensive ones don’t work? Baden is expensive. “I also don’t have good pockets.”
“I don’t want fellow commoners staying together. I knew a good place… … .”
Sian excitedly explained about a place where you can drink cold beer at a low price.
Helmut looked toward the clock tower. Before he knew it, he had about 10 minutes left.
There are only a few minutes left before I have to stop by my locker.
“It’s almost class time.”
Now that I think about it, I should have just handed over the textbook and left, but I stayed and my holiday was taken away.
is not it? In the end, it would have been like this. Because Sian knew how to secretly get what he wanted from the other person.
And as one of Helmut’s few friends, he was also the one who gained Ethan’s trust. Just because she’s Asuka doesn’t mean Ethan is particularly reluctant.
“Oh right. I should go too. “You have to put this in your locker.”
Asuka stood up. Sian asked, resting his chin on the bench.
“Ask Alea if she wants to go with me.”
“I won’t go. And why did I shoot rice at that bastard?”
Asuka responded quickly. It seemed that the scope of his embrace extended to Xi’an.
Asuka and Area were polar opposites. If the two of them are left in the same place for just 5 minutes, the place will be devastated.
Helmut also thought there was no way Area would agree. I didn’t tell Area not to pretend to know anymore, but there was no way for him to be with Helmut in a situation where not only Helmut, but also unsatisfactory bonuses were attached to him.
Area was no less exclusive than Asuka. He had his reasons.
“It was Area who healed you. Looking at your wounds, they took care to treat them even though Helmut said they would charge you for it. So Helmut, please ask.”
“You ask.”
“There’s no way Area would listen to me. Because you are different.”
“I have to go.”
Putting aside what Xian was saying, Helmut took a long stride forward.
Asuka rushed over and caught up. It really feels like raising a dog.
After putting the textbooks in the locker, they headed straight to class.
“We arrived just with one minute left.”
Asuka chirped next to me. All eyes are on those who came together. It’s a bit of a different perspective from yesterday.
Can’t say it’s friendly, but it’s not hostile either.
Sabbat, Jerome, Aaron and the two guys who looked out. In total, the gang, which was missing five people, was unconsciously backed into a corner.
Looking at what you’re doing, you probably won’t be able to start a fight for a while.
Instructor Patricia appeared from over there, walking leisurely. Her sharp eyes glowed as she kept her own students, especially Helmut and Asuka, under her watchful gaze.
Since he was a problem child, the intention was to monitor him to prevent another accident.
“Is everyone gathered?”
Instructor Patricia, who called attendance and checked the number of people, immediately began basic classes.
Due to the unfortunate incident that occurred yesterday, sparring was banned.
Once again, students at the swordsmanship department had to repeat tedious basic training.
Unlike the academic or magic departments, where something new came out every day, swordsmanship classes had a rather monotonous pattern.
Swordsmanship is like a habit you acquire. You must continuously train your body by maintaining correct posture.
Just as muscles are not built overnight, habits are not established overnight.
The purpose of teaching at the Department of Swordsmanship is to ensure students learn the basics and improve their skills through competition.
Sparring, competing, and teaching bring new enlightenment. Although it is not a huge shortcut, all students who graduated from Greta Academy were recognized for their skills.
This is because graduation itself is impossible if you do not pass the exam.
A system that maintains discipline and trains itself through competition in a regular life every day.
The Greta Academy Swordsmanship Department provided the system to students.
It is not for nothing that people from famous sword families enter the academy.
From the beginning, Helmut met a harsh and thorough teacher and developed the habit of training on his own even when left alone.
So the undergraduate swordsmanship class was easy for Helmut. The monotonous and arduous undergraduate training in swordsmanship did not feel that boring.
Strengthening muscles by doing push-ups or horseback riding without using braces, and increasing lung capacity by running around the playground at high speed were all easy to do.
“Everyone, take a 20-minute break!”
Instructor Patricia, who had been treating the students harshly today, declared a break, and everyone, including Asuka, lay exhausted on the floor. Helmut was the only one who was fine.
I was a little sweaty today. Helmut sat down in the shade, wiping the sweat that formed like vapor on his white forehead.
I feel like my body has relaxed a bit. My muscles felt a little itchy.
Instructor Patricia approached, sticking her tongue out and asking.
“Guys, how’s class going? “It looks bearable.”
“It’s not difficult.”
At least to yourself.
But as soon as he said those words, everyone around him glared.
This was because instructor Patricia was worried that Helmut’s words would increase the intensity of the class.
“I don’t think the other guys think that way. Have you always practiced to this extent? “It looks familiar.”
It seemed like he was secretly trying to find out about Helmut.
‘Is there anything I can’t say about this much?’
Helmut thought for a moment and then answered. However, Helmut’s answer was surprising even to Patricia.
“I think it was about five times this amount.”
“Five times… … ?”
“Aren’t you crazy?”
“Is that possible with a person’s physical strength?”
The students around me were whispering. Somehow I thought nothing of running 100 laps around the playground. Instructor Patricia asked, amazed.
“It’s not good to overwork your body from a young age. “Aren’t your muscles damaged?”
“My teacher doesn’t think so. “He thought that the more a person is pushed to the limit, the stronger he or she becomes, as long as he or she does not die.”
It was also because he knew that Helmut, who had the sprout of darkness, would not die in any case.
It is difficult to maintain continuity in intense training, but Darian made it possible. Semi-forced.
If you repeat the process of being beaten and pushed around, having a delicious meal and feeling good for a moment, and then being thrown into hell again, your brain becomes empty.
It wasn’t someone I could escape from by rebelling, and I had the will to become stronger.
Helmut also had feelings about Darian’s teachings.
His body, which almost died when he passed through the barrier, became empty, allowing him to absorb more vis.
Perhaps the closer one gets to death, the greater the progress.
Passing the barrier was too risky to do it again.
Instructor Patricia looked bored. But she soon nodded her head.
“That’s a good lesson. “I’ll keep this in mind for future classes.”
Helmut added after thinking about it.
“And I think the training intensity is too weak now. “Shouldn’t we increase the intensity a little more?”
Being a commoner or something, the reason you can harass your opponent is because you have excess stamina.
If you roll it as hard as you can, you won’t have the energy to do so.
Since the afternoon is mostly about theory and general education classes so you can rest your body, shouldn’t you train more intensely in the morning? Helmut thought simply.
There were times when I felt like I was lacking because I was only training to such an intense level every day.
“That’s a good point.”
Instructor Patricia nodded readily. As Helmut said, the training intensity seemed to be weak.
But it’s still early in the semester. I was planning to increase it gradually, but I changed my mind when I heard from a student that the intensity of the training was low.
“Let’s increase the intensity starting next class.”
While instructor Patricia accepted Helmut’s remarks positively, the other second-year students did not.
‘Well, there are people like that!’
‘You devil!’
‘Are you kidding me?’
It was to the point where I wondered if this was how I would pay back for having ignored the activities of the Sabbat gang.
Helmut stood with his wooden sword in his hand, paying no heed to the murderous look in his eyes.
The break time was too long. 20 minutes. Because she trains so effortlessly, someone as talented as Asuka is the best in terms of ability.
Since I felt a bit relaxed, I thought about swinging the sword lightly. Asuka muttered while lying down.
“You damn bastard.”
Due to that remark, Helmut became a public enemy of the swordsmanship department, regardless of his true intentions.
However, the opportunity to improve the image came quickly.
