60. end of recess.

The tea party planned by Mikaris ended successfully. Also, the relationship between me and the girls was neatly finished. Although Linen seemed a bit dissatisfied.

Ariel Royce seemed to be grinding his teeth and preparing for revenge. Well, nothing big will happen.

No matter how much Count Royce is, what can he do against your family alone?

Such a trivial yet sharp incident has passed,

We are gathered in the auditorium after the academy has closed.

In the auditorium, a speech was being given to commemorate the inauguration of Appel Cloud.

-It is an honor to serve as the president of the Estrada Academy, the highest academy in the Empire. About the future… …

I thought that the relatively young Appel Cloud’s speech would be something different, but it wasn’t at all.

I started to fall asleep at the sound of a calmer voice. Perhaps insomniacs will be cured if they listen to it.

As I dozed off while listening to the speech,

– This concludes my inauguration ceremony. thank you

Appel Cloud’s lullaby was over.

When I opened my eyes and looked around, other students were leaving the auditorium one after another. I also hurriedly got up from my seat to leave the auditorium.

Then, someone approached me.

“It’s nice to see you after a long time. Hero Sir Johannes.”

“Now I am Count Johannes. Long time no see.”

It was Ruterra Adelian. He smiled brightly and asked for a handshake.

From noble mtl dot com

“hahahaha, that’s right too. Since you’re Count Johannes, is there some magic on your path to success? Such a rise in such a short amount of time was only mentioned in the history books.”

“Maybe I’m writing another piece of history.”

“That’s right. I am proud of you, who became the youngest swordsman and the sword that represents the empire.”

Why are you proud of my rise? what is this guy

“By the way, what happened to me, Prince Edelian?”

“Call me Rutera Gongja. What is Prince Adelian between us?”

what. Male leads these days are a bit strange. So does the prince. what’s between us I feel a sense of rejection. Should I say it’s disgusting?

“Hmm. It’s no different that I called you, it’s because I wanted to ask you a favor.”

“Is there a problem?”

“Would you like to spat with me once? I want to have my skills verified by the swordsman.”

“If that’s the case, no problem. My body was itching too.”

Ruterra’s face turned red.

“It went really well. Do you have any lectures? I want to go straight to the training ground.”

“Well, I have a morning lecture, but it won’t matter. It will tire you quickly.”

“hahahaha! Your confidence always pierces the sky. It’s about sparring, it’ll be over soon. Come on, let’s go.”

So Rutera and I headed to the training ground. Meanwhile, Ruthera brought up an interesting story for me.

“But you know what? Rumors about Prince Arcadia.”

“Did something happen to Prince Arcadia?”

“That’s… not so good rumors going around. I applied for engagement to Lady Verdia, but she was rejected, so it looks like she’s in pretty bad shape.”

Will Fenston flow as the original? First of all, Rutera has changed.

What kind of relationship do you have? What kind of influence has there been, who has changed and who has remained the same?

“What if you say you’re not feeling well?”

“Well, it’s a bit of a stretch to say this, but it seems that his personality has completely changed since then. It seems that his position in the family has declined because of that.”

also. Fenston is going according to the original. Was it because Rutera and the prince had many points of contact with me? It’s a reasonable enough hypothesis since he didn’t have much contact with Hunstern.

“You have arrived at the training ground. Come on, take up your sword. I couldn’t wait for this moment.”

“yes.”

There are many questions and many things to think about… First of all, let’s think about it after listening to Ruterra’s request.

I picked up a suitable wooden sword that was scattered around the training ground.

“Are you serious? Or, would you like a little bit more?”

“Uh huh, no matter how hard you train, you have to be serious. And isn’t there something I always say? A knight must always be humble. Besides, you should now consider that you have become a high-ranking aristocrat.”

“… okay.”

This time, as Ruterra said. I am no longer the reckless commoner Hound Eggil, but Count Johannes. Depending on the position, the behavior should also change.

“Then ask for a favor.”

hmm..

No matter how strong Ruterra became, there would be no need to use even the best swords. I want to try out some of the new technologies, but… .

I properly took the stance of Edelian swordsmanship.

“Ha, do you know how to properly use the Adelian swordsmanship now? Until now, I was just following along. ”

“I learned by watching. I think this will be more helpful to Confucius.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Taat! Ruterra rushed at me. As always, Adelian’s swordsmanship is smooth, but the pattern is monotonous. Should I say it’s still unfinished swordsmanship?

I easily cut off Ruterra’s sword and immediately tried to use a counterattack. however…

Inje Boni, Rutera’s swordsmanship was different from the existing Adelian swordsmanship. It is the same that the sword line and the sword path, which are unique to Adelian swordsmanship, connect smoothly. However, the attack pattern was slightly different. Something different.

“Has there been any progress in Adelian’s swordsmanship?”

“As I focused on training, I could see my weaknesses. I did a little variation.”

Seeing this, bloodline is scary. Hound’s talent is great, but Ruterra is as good as mine. Originally, the youngest Swordsman was supposed to be Rutera, not me.

The reason why I was able to become the youngest swordsman was that I accomplished what I had to train for five years in one year and achieved overwhelming results by purchasing the swordsman’s path package.

In addition, a level-up package, if Ruterra knew about this, she might turn the table over saying it was unfair. But what about Only I can use the perk shop.

After sword-to-sword with Rutera for a long time, we started talking while taking a break.

“It is definitely different from before. Same with swordsmanship and Aura.”

“yes? I made six stars Isn’t it amazing? Well, compared to you, it sucks.”

“It’s inconvenient. Reaching 6 stars at 18 is great. Wouldn’t it be no problem to join the 1st Knights right away? You probably hold a fairly high position?”

Ruterra gave a small smile.

“That too. I thought of you as a rival. But I just couldn’t keep up. What level is your realm now?”

“It is an eight-pointed star.”

“Huh, I hope I did. Why didn’t you take the chancellor’s seat?”

Do you know how to joke now? It tickles me as if we are getting closer.

“It was a little funny that Confucius-nim joked with me.”

“hahahaha, right? But the time has already come to this. Isn’t it time for you to go to the lecture?”

“Yes. Training was fun. Then next time.”

“Okay, go in first. I’ll have to swing the sword some more.”

Not an obsession, but a sincere Rutera who focuses on training.

Did I unintentionally regenerate it? My heart was beating for some reason.

So I headed for the lecture room. The lecture I’m taking this time is the history of the empire.

The professors related to swordsmanship and magic were summoned to the imperial palace and were all absent, so the only classes to take were liberal arts.

Something you don’t need to hear. Therefore, I tried to talk to Mikaris who was next to me.

“Mika, how did things go before?”

Mikaris accepted my words even while taking classes.

“No big deal. Rather, I received an apology from the family head.”

“Did you personally apologize?”

“They sent me a letter claiming that the girls’ education was wrong.”

Still, it seems that the head of Count Royce’s head is functioning properly. The distribution of the mines from the Marquis of Merian is good. Good judgment.

“Didn’t Princess Riné say anything else?”

“Well, not yet. I must have understood it to some extent.”

The princess isn’t someone who would accept this easily. Was there a separate conversation going on while I was gone?

“Anyway, we need to focus on our class. It’s midterm soon.”

“Already?”

“The midterm exam was brought forward because the pollution practice was postponed. Didn’t you see the notice hanging in the lobby?”

No, then how do you evaluate your overall ability? Midterm exams have been moved up, but that doesn’t jeopardize my cramming plans…

“Then, how does the overall ability evaluation go?”

“The midterm exam score will lead to the score on the Comprehensive Ability Test. This comprehensive ability evaluation was decided to be conducted only in the first year.”

“this.”

I wanted to cram the midterm exam and be excluded from the overall ability evaluation with the best grades, but I didn’t expect this.

While Sojeon was cleaning up the laundry in room 501, someone started talking to him.

“Is it time now?”

“I’m sorry, but the current Count Johannes… ”

Sojourn’s eyes widened. Because there was someone who couldn’t be here.

“…why are you here?”

“I have to go back home. Because we still need a shrine maiden.”

Sojeon drew a dagger from the scabbard on his thigh. Then he began to stare at the old man with shadowy eyes.

“To draw a weapon in a public place like this, Miko-nim must have been quite bold.”

“… I have to do as much as I can against you.”

wickedness. The old man’s hand was enveloped in black mist.

“Currently, the damage caused by pollution in the Orient is considerable. I can say that the shaman is absolutely necessary. Won’t you please go back?”

“I don’t think that will happen.”

In front of the door of dormitory room 501. It’s strangely quiet. A thick fog filled the dormitory.

“No way, did you block the space?”

“It’s nothing like this.”

Sojourn’s eyebrows furrowed. He rolled his eyes and began to look around. It was to get out of his own barrier. However, there was no gap in the barrier.

“You’d better not think about it.”

“… … .”

Taat! Sojeon instantly rushed at the mysterious old man. swish He swung his dagger horizontally. However,

“shadow.”

The dagger never touched the old man. Because physical attacks against warlocks did not work.

“The Gate of Black Wings.”

The mysterious old man used mental black magic. Then, Sojeon began to use the magic of purification.

“Jeong Hwa Ceremony, the light of purity!”

Dig! The black fog that was heading towards Sojeon disappeared with pure white light.

“You are also a maid. How can you simply remove it?”

“That’s why I don’t want to go back.”

Sojeon performed the magic once again. This time I started making a circle of blue amulets.

“Where!”

wickedness. A black mist resembling a human hand covered the small field. So much clinging to him that his eyes were filled with black hands.

“Great!”

“Come on, let’s go back. You have to prove the reason for your existence.”

Sojeon closed his eyes tightly while being held in the hand that emitted black mist. Because I didn’t want to go back to that hellish place again.

“Why are you looking so desperate when you go home? It just seems like it was my fault.”

“Damn the old man.”

“You know how to say that. A lot must have changed while I was in the West.”

Only moonlight entered the dark hallway due to the inherent barrier separating the spaces. The moonlight reflected in the corridor was trampled by sharp footsteps.

Silver hair as beautiful as the moonlight flutters,

Sojeon was captured.
