I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads

31 – And it happened.

It wasn’t difficult.

Eugene had better eyes than anyone else when it comes to swords.

If you look at an opponent’s sword a few times, you can clearly see what kind of sword he is wielding and what will happen next.

The moment Fritz’s eyes turned serious, Eugene read the entire flow of the couple’s fight that was to follow.

There was nothing difficult after that.

After showing the appearance of being tricked by Fritz, he was caught off guard and decided the match.

Since he moved at Fritz’s formidable speed, even that short sparring consumed a considerable amount of mana…….

Once the victory was won.

His opponent, Fritz, was spread out in front of him.

His eyeballs were turned upside down, and the blood from the wound on his side soaked his clothes. He had to hurry up and take him to the recovery room.

‘But why isn’t anyone coming up?’

No one came up to the arena. The teachers who finished his own exams were also visiting some of the training grounds…….

What are you all doing?

Yujin looked around.

‘Ah.’

I found out why no one was uploading.

All of them had their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open. Everyone seemed to be a goldfish.

‘I know you’re surprised because you won against the teacher… ….’

mana was also limited, is that such a surprise?

Yujin kept the sword and lifted Fritz on his back. Everyone was lost and no one came up to the arena, so he had to move Fritz to the recovery room.

Turbuk─ turbug─

Amid the silence that came to the arena, Eugene walked alone.

*

The first year won the swordsmanship sparring test.

The crowd in the arena were shocked at the absurd result.

“What the hell is this…… What kind of nonsense is this?”

Someone spoke after breaking the long silence. The situation now made no sense.

It wasn’t simply because the teacher’s magic power was the average of the 3rd graders, and Yujin, a first grader, overcame the difference in mana and won.

Magic power was just one of the many elements of Dalian.

Swordsmanship, strength, experience, mental strength…… Considering other factors, there was a difference between first graders and teachers at the level of children and adults.

The swordsmanship teachers at the Royal School were people who would easily gain fame outside of school.

It was the same with Fritz. Even if his skills were below average among teachers, his swordsmanship skills he had honed for decades were no joke.

To him, the fact that the first year won was just a story that even a passing dog would not believe.

But then it happened.

Eugene, who was walking casually with Fritz on her back, won.

‘Do you know what he did?’

‘Why are you making such a calm face!’

Those who saw the peaceful Eugene were dumbfounded.

The 3rd female lead was the same.

‘This is really outside the standard… ….’

Tina, with a blank face, lost all her strength.

She simply trusted her trader’s intuition and sided with Eugene. It was reckless and gamble-like.

What if Eugene didn’t actually defeat the bandits?

Exactly, what if you couldn’t prove your strength to defeat the bandits in this test?

The damage that will come to her must have been beyond imagination.

However, Eugene showed more than expected.

Bandit Subjugation? Cure an incurable disease?

No one thought of that. That was no longer an important issue.

Hasn’t everyone seen Eugene’s Dalian?

The amazing skills he showed proved that subduing a group of bandits was not a chore.

The real question to think about was this.

How did a man who was less than two months old come to his senses and raise his sword, have the skills to defeat the teacher?

If it is the virtue of talent, how high is that talent?

It was not a question that could be answered easily. Tina couldn’t come to a conclusion either.

There is one conclusion she has come to with certainty.

It was true that taking Eugene’s side was a great choice that he would never regret.

“Huh… ….”

Tina let out a sigh of relief and wiped her face.

After calming down more, there will be many things to think about in many ways, but it seemed like I would fly just because my self-declaration wasn’t wrong.

Does it feel like you’ve barely escaped from the brink of death?

I had to share this joy with a friend.

“Shillin!”

From noble mtl dot com

Tina looked at Silene with a big smile.

“I just saw it! Eugene is really…….”

“… ….”

“…… Loaded?”

But Silin couldn’t answer.

‘Impossible… ….’

She was distraught.

‘How high is the rank of the substitute talent?’

She recognized her with a high level of swordsmanship.

In that brief sparring, the fact that Eugene saw through the sword Fritz was wielding. Eugene read everything about the sword Fritz was wielding and how it would unfold.

Sillin was sure of that.

Otherwise, Eugene’s extraordinary movements could not be explained.

‘How many times have you seen her opponent’s sword and figured it out… ….’

It’s not an ordinary sword, I figured it out after seeing a teacher-level sword.

Even Silin, who is regarded as a genius who comes out once in a hundred years, couldn’t possibly do it.

‘Not on the same or higher level as me… ….’

She couldn’t easily admit it, but she had no choice but to admit it.

Her talent in her Eugene was above her.

It was good to express it in a different class.

Turning her head to see Silian, his face was similarly hardened.

Since he is a swordsman like himself, he must have similar thoughts.

“…… Brother, did you just see it?”

“I saw it.”

“What do you think?”

“…… I think it is nonsense.”

Silian summarized his long thoughts in one line.

“You truly are a master of swords.”

Now Silian had only one thing to do.

“I will go to Eugene.”

“Why?”

“I have to ask you to join the swordsmanship department.”

“… ….”

Although his talent is less than his sister’s, he was also a swordsman who loved the sword and devoted his life to it.

‘If a junior like that enters the swordsmanship club, it will have a good influence on others… ….’

It was impossible for a junior with extraordinary talent in swordsmanship not to have enemies in the swordsmanship department.

‘First, let them join and see.’

*

“Leave it to us!”

“Mr. Fritz, we will take you to the recovery room!”

“No, I can just do it… ….”

“Ugh! Nonsense!”

“You must be tired from the test, but if you do hard work again, use it!”

“… ….”

Several students appeared, grabbed Fritz, and ran out. As if asking him to remember his own face, his white dry teeth shined.

‘Why are you like this all of a sudden?’

I hope you stay dumbfounded for a while. Something even more bizarre happened.

“Eugene! What is the test you just did!”

“How did you do that?”

“The swordsmanship was really great!”

“Did you handle your sword that well?”

“Wait… …. No, wait.”

Students scrambled to gather in front of them. Where did the usual indifferent eyes go, they were the shining eyes.

“If you don’t mind, would you like to be friends?”

“Go away dude! I came first!”

“Where is the turn to make friends! You go out with your heart!”

“Who wants to be friends with someone like you!”

“You bastard!”

“…… Hey.”

The overheated atmosphere didn’t seem to cool down as if he couldn’t hear Eugene’s words.

Their eyes were burning hotly as if they were going to somehow open up a connection with Eugene.

‘No, if you want to be friends with me, come right away.’

Eugene felt that her appearance was absurd.

As in the magic practice, he was left alone in each group assignment, and he deeply felt how precious being a friend was.

I’ve been left alone so often that I’ve never felt anything inspired by being alone now.

‘I don’t think I need to have many friends anymore.’

It was Eugene who voluntarily became a loner. Of course, whether he did it or not, the students had no intention of leaving him alone.

‘Now is the time to make a kite!’

‘We have to get close now!’

After seeing Eugene’s test, the conclusion they came to was simple and clear.

The value of Eugene will continue to soar without knowing how high it is.

A student who beat the teacher in the first year.

The teacher’s magical power was limited, so it didn’t matter what he said. The only thing that mattered was that he had created something unprecedented in the history of the Royal Schools.

He has proven his present worth and tremendous potential.

‘If a noble doesn’t have connections, he’s a corpse!’

‘Because connections at the Royal School last a lifetime!’

They gritted their teeth for the sake of Yujin, a network that would shine in the future.

“Juniors, can you step aside for a moment?”

At that time, someone from behind opened his mouth.

“Get out of the way?”

“What kind of bastard!”

It didn’t sound good to ask you to step out of the way while struggling for a valuable network.

Students growled and looked back. Then the mouth naturally closed. Their backs were bowed down.

“Oh, senior… ….”

“Senior, are you here?”

It was Silian, the son of the Duchess of Ruberta.

There was a difference that I couldn’t help but bow down and look at, whether it was a different social status or a different grade.

As the students naturally opened the way, Silian stood in front of Eugene.

“Junior.”

“Yes?”

“Come into the swordsmanship club. You deserve it.”

‘Swordsmanship Club?’

‘Awesome!’

The moment they heard that word, the eyes of the students around them lit up.

Where is the swordsmanship department?

I couldn’t enter just because I liked swords. It’s basic. He showed exceptional talent with the sword and was able to enter only when he was recognized by the existing members.

As it is not an easy task, those who entered the service were able to grow quickly by receiving advice from seniors and juniors and engaging in friendly sparring.

There were even rumors that if you looked good to seniors from powerful families, you would even receive an elixir that was effective in increasing magical power.

If you are a swordsman with a passion for a sword, the swordsmanship department is where you are anxious to enter.

Eugene obtained the qualification to enter such a place with only one round of sparring.

‘To get such a good opportunity.’

‘He will fly even more.’

It was a situation where the value of Eugene increased in real time.

“I won’t go in.”

If it hadn’t been for Eugene’s words.

‘Doesn’t this go in?’

‘Why?’

The students opened their mouths. Silian also opened her mouth with a serious face as if she couldn’t understand the reason.

“May I ask why?”

“…… Well.”

Just because time is wasted.

After that, Eugene turned her body around.

There was literally no time.

Since it has not been long since he created Brain Swordsmanship, the importance of securing personal training time has increased more than before.

A sword club in that situation?

It is obvious that you will be wasting your time with various activities once you enter, but there was no need to go in on your own. Of course, Silian did not intend to give up easily.

‘Time is such a waste.’

I don’t know the details of Eugene’s circumstances, but isn’t that what you mean by securing time?

Just having a talented swordsman like Eugene join the swordsmanship club would be of great help to the members.

From that moment on, I thought I would be able to get help from the sword if I sparred with Eugene.

‘Those who regret it tend to lower their heads.’

Sillian followed Eugene by his side.

“Well, it seems I haven’t told you yet. The swordsmanship department is a free place. You don’t have to attend the weekly training, you can come only when you want!”

There were very few members who actually did that.

“How about this?”

“I am not particularly interested… ….”

“Well then, I will talk to the manager and guarantee you your freedom. Originally, it was compulsory to attend group activities from time to time, but I’ll make sure you don’t have to.”

“… ….”

Free to group activities?

After saying this, Eugene’s heart moved a little.

If training and group activities were free, there was no problem in securing individual time.

If you belong to the swordsmanship club later, when you want to fight someone, you’ll be able to easily find someone.

‘But no matter how much freedom is guaranteed… ….’

If you go in and do nothing, you’ll wonder why he came.

‘I have no choice but to refuse.’

“I will decline anyway.”

“Looks like I haven’t said anything yet!”

“What do you still have left?”

“Of course!”

Sillian opened his mouth proudly.

“I didn’t tell you, but members who recently joined are given preferential treatment.”

“Preferential treatment?”

I had never heard of such a thing.

“Yes, once you join, you will be given a secret elixir from the duke of Ruberta, the best swordsman on the continent.”

“Yes?”

Vision? An arcane elixir?

“How about this, I can’t help but feel like this… ….”

“I will go in.”

There was nothing to listen to behind the scenes.

The secret elixir of the Duchess of Ruberta?

Even among arcane elixirs, the grades are divided, but it was clear that no matter how low-grade elixirs, they would greatly increase magic power.

‘My eyes suddenly became hot.’

Sillian’s eyes became strange.

Should I have brought up the elixir from the beginning?

The elixir was just a story made up by Shilian who was in a hurry. She gave the elixir of the family to a new member, so there was no way that such a ridiculous privilege could actually exist.

Now that I mentioned it, I really thought of giving Eugene a chance to join the swordsmanship club, but…….

Since it moved Eugene’s heart, it was necessary to slightly revise the previous proposal.

‘It’s something I shouldn’t be too greedy about.’

If you overdo it, even the prey you caught will run away. Silian opened her mouth after a short thought.

“There are conditions instead.”

“What is it?”

“One is to keep the fact of providing the elixir a secret. Another thing is to only participate in occasional group activities.”

“… ….”

Group activities differ depending on the nature of the club, but there were many cases where they were held once or twice during vacation.

‘There is still quite a bit of vacation left… ….’

For the price of the elixir, it wasn’t bad.

“That much is fine.”

“I welcome you.”

Cillian smiled and shook hands.

That’s how Eugene’s joining the swordsmanship club was decided.
