37 – Break (2)

The tiered auditorium was full of students waiting for the score to be released.

Looking at all of them with tired faces, it seems that they have suffered quite a bit in their own way.

“A vacant seat… ….”

When I came down from the back and looked around, there was no empty seat at the back.

I looked around looking for an empty seat, and the one that wasn’t popular enough to be empty was the front seat.

“… ….”

And in that row, there is a guy sitting alone like a local.

It was Anastasia, a girl lying on her desk and yawning with her mouth wide open with a tired expression.

The guy recognized us by rolling his eyes and greeted us face down.

“Hello.”

“Yes.”

Short greetings were exchanged, and after sitting like that, the professor went up to the podium to announce the combined score.

I didn’t really like the fact that Professor Cayenne, out of all the many professors, didn’t like me, but I wouldn’t be selfish about the score announcement.

“You worked hard for several days.”

Said the professor, pushing up his round glasses with one finger.

When he activated his attribute, the scores from the book he was holding were projected onto the podium as if they were projected by a beam projector.

Tons of names and scores.

Among them, what really stands out is not a place full of letters the size of millet, but the scores of top-ranked students floating on the top like an island.

I laid my back on the backrest and crossed my arms as I scanned it slowly.

──────────

1St Anastasia Aris 3256pt.

2Nd Adele Heights 1869pt.

3Rd Lucy Bellmail 1096pt.

… ….

──────────

1 Pt per normal monster, so the gap between me and Anastasia is about 1,400.

Charlotte took away the monster that Anastasia had to deal with, and she gave me the score, so it was a pretty good score, but she wasn’t enough to pass Anastasia.

Me and Lucy, Charlotte.

Three people formed a team like this, but even so, Anastasia, who handled hundreds of summons, was overwhelming.

“…… Mmm.”

I glanced at Anastasia, who had won first place, and after looking at the score sheet, she casually fell back on the desk as if it was natural.

“As expected, this is Miss Anastasia. You took 1st place by an overwhelming margin from 2nd place.”

The person concerned passed quietly, but Professor Cayen’s mouth was empty.

When that guy’s favorite student, Anastasia, beat Adele and won first place, she was delighted as if she had won first place, and she praised Anastasia day and night.

She hates that tongue so much. Charlotte whispered next to her as she kicked her tongue.

“Should I cut it?”

Charlotte glared at Cayenne as she gritted her teeth as if she had been insulted.

Thank you for being angry on my behalf, but I was troubled by whatever was said to be cut, so I waved it was okay.

“And… ….”

Cayenne sighed and shook her head.

I don’t know what to say, but at least I know what he’s trying to say isn’t a compliment.

“I heard that there is a student who did not hunt monsters, but took tokens from students who did and accumulated points.”

A word that seems to snipe me.

Although I was only telling the truth, the nuance of that guy made me feel as if I was the one who made the mistake of breaking the rules.

And as a bad premonition, the students were agitated and started talking among themselves.

As if that reaction was intentional, Cayenne faintly raised the corners of her mouth and continued speaking sarcasticly.

“This is clearly not against the rules. However, it can be seen as an action that goes against the purpose of this training, which is to hunt and evaluate monsters. On top of that, we can’t leave out the moral issue of taking certificates away from tired students.”

The murmur grew.

I felt like something would fly to the back of my head sooner or later.

Of course, no one has the liver to put it into action.

“Other students worked hard to get extra points like that student.”

“Huh, are you thinking of pouring out your feelings now?”

I laughed out loud at the attitude of the guy who was not objective at all.

He cocked his chin arrogantly and looked at him with the feeling that he was watching him.

“However, this act is tantamount to trampling on their earnestness!”

Professor Cayenne thumped her chest with her clenched fists, making her shout out loud.

You are filming a musical.

Seeing that level of passionate acting, I was dumbfounded and didn’t even get angry.

“Right…… !”

Someone agreed with Professor Cayenne.

Well, it’s okay to agree.

No matter how much you agree and riot, the day will never come when this is recognized as cheating.

It was then.

Puck.

“Ouch.”

A crushed can that suddenly flies toward Lucy, not me.

Perhaps there was some liquid left inside, sticky liquid flowed down Lucy’s head and onto her face.

Lucy looked behind him, embarrassed, and the pimple-covered guy pointed at him and brushed his mouth.

“You, are you talking about…… ! Joe, do you like it? … ?”

At the same time as one of the guys spoke, the students who realized who the student Cayen had mentioned were standing up.

Criticism flooded in like an explosion.

“Yes! This is cheating!”

“Do you think the evaluation of hunting monsters is the evaluation of hunting humans?”

“Is it because he is a commoner bastard without money? You’re doing mean things to get a scholarship!”

Not towards me, but toward easy-going Lucy.

“…… These damn things.”

They don’t think about getting to the top with their skills, but they’re doing a lot of sh*t trying to raise their ranking by dropping Lucy, who is at the top.

I was very proud of the actions of some guys with an inferiority complex.

I was going to ignore it for a while, but I managed to get him to stand up.

“Adele…… ?”

She wrapped her arms around Lucy, who was constantly being hit by trash flying from somewhere, and hit those dirty things instead.

I roughly brushed off the spilled drink from the open bottle with my hand and looked at the faces of those who were aiming at Lucy with an evil voice.

Those who were indignant just a moment ago shut their mouths as if they had become mute.

As if a group had been sedated, silence fell in an instant in the auditorium.

They looked at me like they didn’t understand why I was siding with Lucy.

And the way he averted his gaze and lowered his head as if he wasn’t the culprit who threw the trash made his brow furrow in disgust.

“You’re going on a very goddamn glow.”

Breaking curses resounded in the silent auditorium.

Anyway, it seems that the image that has been built up so far will fall again, but what about it?

I don’t pay much attention to the stares of stupid people who can’t even cover up properly.

“It’s like a bug with a snake’s heart attacking something that can’t be considered cheating even if you wash your eyes and look for it.”

While doing so, he pointed at one of the guys who was eagerly averting his gaze.

He was the one who threw garbage at Lucy at first, incited by the professor’s words.

The eyes of the students followed my fingertips.

The one who was pointed out turned his head away pretending not to know that he was pointed out, so I called him personally.

“You look like a pig over there. You.”

Only then did he point a finger at himself.

I nodded and flicked his hand for him to come out.

He trudged forward with an expression that said he was f*cked.

“Adele Heights student. More than that, behaving selfishly…….”

On the way, Professor Cayenne criticized my behavior and seemed to try to stop me, but I ignored it.

In the first place, it was possible because Adele was not in a position where a mere professor could say what to do.

“Since when, whoever wants this training session has changed to cover those who are good at hunting monsters?”

I asked, poking at the fat guy’s protruding chest.

It stumbled back and was pushed back with ease for a man of such a massive body.

“Hunting monsters is just a means to collect tokens. There must have been no regulations limiting how to collect tokens?”

─That’s exactly what he said.

As the pigs were being driven in full swing, a voice came from behind the tightly closed auditorium door.

Soon bang! With a loud bang, the door fell helplessly.

The eyes that were focused on me turned to the direction where the sound came from, including me.

The door fell to the floor and dust rose.

The only thing visible is the human figure of the intruder, as the sunlight diffusely reflects on the misty dust.

The figure was taller than Adele, who was almost 190, and the ears protruding from his head like branches were impressive.

“This retreat is to thoroughly cultivate the students’ practical sense. The target does not discriminate between monsters, humans, and witches. The rule I gave was this. Unless someone misunderstood, there is no room for misunderstanding.”

Ttogak, Ttogak.

Everyone knew the person who came down the auditorium making the sound of his shoes.

A person with a face and name that everyone knows, even if they don’t attend this academy.

Elf Ella, a hero who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Swordsman and the Sage.

The chairman who founded this academy at the same time.

“Therefore, the actions of Adele Heights and Lucy Bellemail are not to be reprimanded.”

Since her auditorium is stair-style and Ella is so tall, her students had to bend her neck to look up at her.

And where her eyes are headed.

“Therefore, the courageous act of subduing the witch that the students put in danger is to be commended.”

Adele.

It was me.

“For that matter, I would like to give 1,500pts to Adele Heights, who was said to have subdued the witch herself.”

And that gaze shifted slightly to the side and turned to Professor Cayenne, who was standing on the podium.

“What do you think, Professor Cayenne?”

When Professor Cayenne, who favored Anastasia, heard her sudden remark, darkness fell on her face.
