59 – I have a lot of good friends

I have a lot of good friends

A ball, a festival unique to the Empire, along with Seria’s Day.

The reason why it was simply called a ball without embellishing it with any words in front of it is not clear, but the prevailing theory was that it was because the first emperor, Terracan, who had heard Seria’s wish, danced with Seria right on the spot.

Anecdotes such as the embarrassing servants who saw the emperor dancing on the dirt floor without any preparation, running around and decorating with flowers to match the formality, or the anecdote of a chef who tried to decorate it like high-class food with shabby ingredients. There are many little stories about it.

It’s a process. Anyway, the prom is the most favorite day of the people in the Empire, along with Seria’s day.

The academy also celebrates the ball, takes a break for three days, and on the last day, the academy students gather and dance.

Yes. The most important day of the academy youth project is the prom.

“……Isn’t it popular at the academy?”

Seeing Aslan come to his home on such an important day, his older brother Lulz cautiously asks.

“How could that be?! My father called me so I had no choice but to come! I’m popular!”

Seeing Aslan speak louder than usual, his younger brother Adele’s eyes light up.

“As expected, my older brother is amazing.”

“Yes, yes. Great.”

Athlan avoids looking at Adele’s twinkling eyes, as if being stabbed by conscience.

Lulz noticed right away, but he pretended not to know it to save face.

Perhaps women avoid him because of his scary eyes and wild behavior. Lulz, too, remembers being briefly frightened by the eyes of his younger brother, who grew fiercer when he was younger.

He’s a kind little brother, but when you make eye contact, Lulz still sometimes wants to avoid your gaze. His eyes were so fierce.

“Hyung-nim, did you get a lot of Seria’s sweetness?”

“Uh, uh… I got quite a bit. I got four, four.”

“Huh? Is 4 too many? I got 9…”

“The number of sweeteners is not important. What is important is how you receive it.”

“As expected! Brother is amazing!”

Aslan, who escaped the crisis with lies, is sweating profusely, Lulz decides to save him.

When she hears that she is coming to see her father for a while, Adele nods her head and asks to see her again later.

Lulz quietly asked Aslan, who had run away, to his father’s office.

“So how many did you get?”

“That sound again? Not even a kid.”

“You didn’t get it.”

“… I got one.”

Sensing that the voice that did not look very happy gave everyone a taste, Lulz shut her mouth, not wanting to hurt her sister’s pride.

It’s okay to come late, but I guess the reason I walked out of the academy on the day of the prom was because I didn’t want to feel sad.

When Asran frowns after receiving her sympathetic eyes, Lulz avoids her gaze. Still, the scary impression is more scary.

“You’ll take care of yourself, but don’t fight with your father today.”

“If that person doesn’t fight, I won’t fight.”

“He got it wrong the moment he told his father he was the man.”

Lulz shook his head and said, but it’s not that he doesn’t understand Aslan’s feelings.

In the Skape family, who had been in the military for generations, the father, Alion, was a heretical child. He had no talent and his body was weak, so he lived with a small illness.

The grandfather understood the sick Alion and raised him well, but not all Skape viewed Alion well.

There was a lot of talk about not being qualified to inherit the family, and there were also many people who cursed Alion for being a simple official.

Perhaps it was because he had such a childhood, Aslan, who has a look close to contempt for the military but is talented, always wanted to enlist in the military.

His brothers also walked the path of general officials, but Alion raised Asran as harshly as he was young.

He forced a child under the age of 10 to undergo rigorous training and even punished him for failing to meet his target. There were times when he couldn’t eat, and there were times when he was kicked out without clothes on in the harsh winter.

Growing up like that, Aslan can’t help but hate his father.

There was a time when Lulz told Alion, who was strangely obsessed with Aslan, to stop, but he didn’t even bother. His father’s obsession intensifies and Aslan becomes more and more perverse.

The older he gets, the more he trains poorly or doesn’t listen, and many of the skaters who expected his talent are disappointed.

In the end, Asran was hated not only by his father, but also by everyone involved with Skape.

It was Lulz who didn’t like his younger brother’s situation, but now things have gone so wrong that he can’t fix it with his own hands.

“Come in.”

As Lulz knocks on the office, he hears Alion’s voice from inside.

Alion, a high-ranking official, was always busy, so he spent a lot of time in his office even when he came home.

When I opened the door and entered, the vassals helping with the work were busy moving, and Alion was reading documents at the desk.

Athlan frowns when he sees Damian, who had been following him to the academy as an instructor, near his desk.

“What are you doing standing still? Isn’t it time to come to your senses now?”

“Well, I guess he hasn’t come to his senses yet.”

At Alion’s words, Aslan sarcastically walked to the front of the desk with a bad gait on purpose.

Alion’s eyebrows twitched as he glanced at him after taking his eyes off the paperwork, but he held back his anger and spoke in a calm voice.

“How is it at the academy?”

“Heaven. No human beings to interfere. Oh, there was that human.”

Asran laughed at Damian, Alion punched the desk.

The papers on the desk were shaken, but the desk stood upright, as if it could withstand the weak Alion’s attack.

“When are you going to come to your senses? I heard Damien say you don’t even train? Did I teach you that you threw yourself in the trash when you had a talent that everyone would envy?”

“Since you taught me that way, shouldn’t I do it?”

At the academy, he must have only learned to be sarcastic, but Aslan’s words make people angry.

Lulz, who was next to him, patted him on the side and sent a signal to take care of himself, but Aslan doesn’t seem to have the heart to end it.

“There was talk about teaching, but this person is really useless.”

“Ha-Have you seen it? As I reported, the youngster does not train at the academy, but rather hangs out with trashy friends.”

“Trash? Say it again?”

Damian’s garbage friends mean Seyvan and Delan. Because I spent a lot of time hanging out with them the most and not going into their house.

“I’ll tell you more if you want. Legandia Academy is famous only for its name, so it’s not much of a concern anymore. You’re hanging out with an instructor named Rai these days, but that instructor is trash too. We don’t intend to teach, we go out drinking together. I think it would be better to send her back to her parents’ house at this time.”

“The trash is you.”

“Quiet!”

Alion hits the desk again and stops the two of them from arguing.

“I didn’t pay the expensive school fees for drinking.”

“That’s right. He must have given it to force his dreams on his children.”

When Aslan ridiculed him, Alion looked at him with an angry face.

“Forcing? Dream? Shall I force my dream on a guy who gets grades like this?”

When Alion said while throwing the report card from last semester, Aslan shut her mouth. You can’t blame anyone for bad grades.

As he becomes quiet, Alion accuses him more.

“What did you learn at the academy? How to drink and hang out with girls? I was shocked to hear Damian’s report. It’s almost a year now, what the hell did you do?”

“… Shall I show you?”

Athlan, who had been listening quietly, raised his head and showed ferocious eyes.

Even before entering the academy, Alion had never felt such strong power in Aslan’s eyes, although he often fought against him.

“Hey, let’s play. My father wants to know how much I’ve grown.”

Asran looked at Damian and said.

It was a confident statement, but from Damien’s point of view, his words are just ridiculous.

Always overflowing with ambition, but poor skills. This human needs to step on it periodically to wake up.

“Are you okay? The person who used to run away trembling is coming out strongly saying that he is in front of my father.”

“I realized you don’t care.”

“If the Lord permits it. Don’t regret it.”

Alion listens to the conversation between the two and thinks for a while before allowing it.

I heard about it, but I want to see what my son is actually like.

After putting off work for a while and moving to the arena in the mansion, Alion sees two people facing each other with their swords already drawn.

“Did you learn anything at the academy? You’re so confident.”

“Stop talking and attack.”

Damian smiled when he saw Asran waving his hand, and suddenly rushed at him.

Seeing him rushing at him with the tip of his sword in front, Aslan slowly took a step back.

The greatsword hanging down on the ground is in front of Aslan, and Damian stops as it is, thinking that the lich will raise the long greatsword when he enters the gap.

Damian stopped right in front of the sword’s reach, and when he tried to turn right, Aslan ran out first.

As if the tip of the greatsword was stuck to the ground, the greatsword still did not move, and only Aslan himself ran and kicked Damian.

“Where’s the trick!”

As I kicked it forward as if pushing it away, Damian stepped back and shouted.

But his words didn’t follow through and he had no choice but to open his eyes wide. Aslan, who put his foot on the ground as if pushing it off, was naturally ready to wield the greatsword.

Seeing the familiar posture as if imprinted on his eyes, Damian hurriedly fell backwards and leaned over, and a greatsword passed over him with a loud sound.

The attack, which would have cut off his back if he hadn’t avoided it, passed just as fast, and Damian fell to the ground and got up in a fright.

“Isn’t there anything special?”

Asran laughed at him for avoiding him uglyly while covering himself with dust, Damian gritted his teeth and trembled, then put mana into his sword.

The mana that escaped from his sword gushed out like a stem, creating a blue blade and turning the longsword into a ceremonial sword.

After seeing the spell that Damian uses to show off his skills, Aslan laughs at him and puts one hand on the ground.

As the floor of the arena splits, stones the size of people float around his greatsword.

It is a technique learned from Rai in order to defeat him.

The two of them bring out their magic formulas and collide again.

He wields a greatsword, but because of the stones moving along with the greatsword, Aslan’s attack looks like he’s wielding a big club.

Even if stones are cut and broken, they are immediately recruited from the floor, and the longer the fight, the more the arena becomes a mess, and Alion stops the sparring.

“hahahahaha… Too bad. I could have crushed that head.”

“Don’t be arrogant. If the head of the household hadn’t stopped it, I would have collapsed from exhaustion.”

“Because I am confident in my stamina.”

Even if he said that, it was Damian who was most surprised. No matter how fast the growth was, it grew too fast.

Even before he entered the academy, he was capable of being ridiculed even without a sword. But now, even after competing for dozens of sums, no answer came out.

‘It was a dead end?’

I couldn’t believe it. He belongs to the highest rank among the knights serving the Scape family. Of course, he was a skill that consumed too much mana, so if he went to a long battle, he would have won, but he couldn’t do anything while the spell was active.

“Brother! Cool!”

When Adele, who was watching, shouted, Aslan smiled and waved his hand and looked at Alion.

“The grades aren’t great, but I’ve learned well at the academy for a year, so don’t mind. Take that useless guy with you.”

“……”

Asran’s words, Alion looked at him quietly.

Athran, who thought he must have been surprised, laughed inside, but the words that came out of Alion’s mouth were different.

“Quit the academy and come back to your home.”

“What…? What?”

“It’s a waste of talent to have such skills when you don’t even try. Don’t think about going to the academy and train properly here.”

Athlan was dumbfounded at Alion’s words, who knew nothing.

Compete with the top knights of the Skape Family. In order to acquire that level of skill, Aslan has been working hard and training while receiving numerous curses from Rai.

No matter how talented you are, if you don’t train, you won’t get strength.

But I don’t know if this is simply dismissed as talent, but I didn’t know too much. At the same time, the way he speaks as if he knows everything is so annoying.

“Don’t bullsh*t.”

At Asran’s curse, everyone gathered in the arena opened their eyes wide to see him.

“Is this something you got from talent alone? Don’t act like you know it when you haven’t seen it.”

“It’s obvious. If you don’t catch me from the side, you’ll be lazy and useless.”

At Alion’s calm words, Aslan shook his head and laughed.

“Don’t f*ck with me. I’m going back to the academy. I’d refuse a house like this.”

“It’s arrogant to say that you’ve improved your skills a little. What can you do now? What do you think you can do when you’ve escaped the brilliance of your family? Do you have money? How will you live? Tuition? There’s no one to help you, and you’re just naked. You can’t do anything once you leave the family.”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

Ignoring Alion, who speaks calmly, Aslan throws away the practice greatsword and leaves.

Embarrassed, Lulz looks at Alion and then chases Aslan, followed by Adele too.

“What are you going to do?”

“I’m leaving this house. I don’t need it.”

“What are you doing all of a sudden? Even if you go out, you have to prepare before going out. What if you act so emotionally?”

“That’s right, brother. What are you going to do?”

Both his older brother and younger brother are worried, but Aslan looks back at them and smiles.

“No need to worry. I have a lot of good friends.”

– Smart

There was no one to come, but when he heard a knock, Rai thought it strange and opened the door.

“Brother, please let me sleep.”

“……”

Looking at the polite Aslan, Rai silently looked at his appearance.

It’s the same clothes as usual, but there are a bunch of bags behind him. As if it were full of the luggage necessary for life.

Ray looked at her blankly and slowly closed the door.

“Ah! Put me to sleep!”

“Go away! What are you talking about because you came all of a sudden!”

Athran, who puts his hand through the crack in the door, tries to get in somehow, and Rai pushes his face and tries to close the door.

“You despicable human! Put me to bed!”

“Looking at Jim, it’s not easy! Get out of here! What the f*ck are you doing here!”

“If you are an instructor, you should take care of the academy students! Put them to bed! It’s only here!”

“Treat me as an instructor and tell me!”

It’s getting late, and the loud voices of the two resonate in the quiet academy.

Imperial year 279. Rai’s house.
