2 – Essay – 1

Let’s make one thing clear first.

Charles Jean Rochepole, whom I possessed, was nothing more than a dog-f*cked character with no swords, no magic, no sacred magic, no archery, or any other means to become a force.

That’s not to say that the family is not good, so it’s literally in a state of desperation.

There was no way he could survive properly at Arcadia Academy, where only nobles and elites from all continents gathered.

“What are you doing so blankly, you bastard! Can’t you hear me?”

The guys in front of me did the same.

Three guys standing in front of me. I’m sure he’s an extra, seeing as I don’t know his face, but he’s hostile as if he’s dissatisfied with me.

The problem is that I am not Charles Jean Rochepole, so I am not sure who they are.

“Oh sorry. Who was it?”

“This bastard… ”

f*ck! The glasses I was wearing flew off with a loud sound.

‘Ah, this is broken.’

Glasses in this era must be expensive. As I was thinking about that, three guys rushed at me and started stepping on me.

“What? You don’t know who? Do you really want to die today?”

“You released this bastard these days, are we okay?”

“If you don’t know who it is, let me know.”

Indiscriminate violence pouring in with the lines of typical third-class villains. Passing students also frowned, but no one tried to help.

‘Judging by the situation, this isn’t the first time or two… ‘

Putting aside the pain, the school uniform was dirty. I had to go to the library, but it seemed like it would be difficult at this pace.

Even after that day, violence was quite frequent. A guy named Charles Jean Rochepole must have been taken as prey by them, so he continued to suffer intense violence, and Charles Jean Rochepole… So there was never a day when my bruises were dry.

‘You’re evil.’

I didn’t know that there were guys like that at Arcadia Academy, when I was playing the game. It was because they thought it was only a hotbed of elites gathering only the best in the empire.

‘My thoughts were too shallow.’

Even in an elite hotbed where only the best guys gather, there will be relatively trash, and there should have been some violent guys, but I didn’t know that.

One day I asked the guys.

“Why are you hitting me?”

“What?”

“Why are you hitting me? There is nothing to gain from beating me.”

Then the guys dusted off their clothes and replied like this.

“Arcadia Academy is an academy that only those who have proven their worth or whose parents are nobles attend.”

“By the way?”

“By the way. Aren’t you a noble? This lowly thing.”

The guy who said that and stepped on my leg. My legs hurt as if they would break, but I managed to hold back the screams. And he didn’t seem to like that either.

“The Rochepole family must be a noble family, right?”

Charles Jean Rochepole would also be the son of a count. if my information is correct. But why do you say you’re not a noble?

“Hey, the Rochepole family is a noble family?”

They started laughing as if they were having fun.

“The Rochepole family is not an aristocratic family.”

huh? Is my information wrong? However, unless you are from an aristocratic family, there is no way that Charles Jean Rochepole could have entered the academy?

“What if it’s not a noble family?”

“Mall. Rock. Nobility. Aren’t you already a ruined aristocrat? Did a fallen aristocrat, who had only traces of being an aristocrat but was no different from a commoner, intend to imitate an aristocrat like us?”

“Follow me. Mol. Rock. Nobility!”

The guys burst into bread and flirted with each other. Indeed, no matter how incompetent Charles Jean Rochepole was, he seemed to know why he was being bullied by these guys. Charles Jean Rochepole must have been the son of a fallen nobleman.

‘That’s what happened… ‘

Somehow, he said that he was a noble, had no servants, and that his clothes and lodging were not very good.

After learning why Charles Jean Rochepole was being bullied, I began to have a rough idea of how to punish these three bullies.

After their violence was over, there was a woman who looked at me as if she was pathetic and walked past me.

The cold-looking woman with dark hair and red eyes, like that impression, was a talented person who would grow up in a back alley and become a sword master someday.

“Mr. Glacia Erenberg.”

When I called her name, she gave me a startled expression, as if she was surprised to know the name.

“Why didn’t you help me after witnessing their violence? If it were your sword skills, you would have been able to get rid of these small puppies right away.”

Hearing this, she sighed and laughed.

“Is there any reason why I should help you? Their parents have a lot of money, so there’s a chance they’ll be hired by me someday, but you’re not particularly valuable as a connection, are you?”

It was a theory. I was weak and they were strong. So that didn’t help. This was the law of the wild.

“Glacia Erenberg. A sword genius who grew up in the back alleys of the city of Kruzenstein, taught himself how to use swords, and became a mana user.”

“You seem to have information in your own way. therefore?”

“I was able to enter the academy because I was appointed as a knight by a sponsor. However, you pay your own tuition. The reason why she is poor but not bullied unlike me is because Ms. Glacia has excellent swordsmanship skills. Isn’t it?”

she asked as if she was having fun.

“then?”

“You’re not being bullied, but you need money?”

As far as I know, Glacia Ehrenberg attends Arcadia Academy in the story and drops out to earn money. And by now, it was just about time to run out of money.

“From next month, I will pay your tuition in full. Instead, keep me from the flying flies. It is an escort request.”

“… ”

She made a surprised expression. And soon, that surprise turned to ridicule.

“How can a fallen aristocrat be willing to pay for all the school fees of 250 ducats a year? It must be too much for you just to pay your own tuition.”

“The money will come next month.”

“How?”

“I can’t tell you that.”

She sighed and laughed again.

“Then, come back when you have money.”

After saying that, she disappeared from my sight. The first step to clearing my game seems to be starting with obtaining the unfortunate genius who was born in a humble place and could not spread his wings properly.

problem here. Where were penguins first discovered?

Most people would answer Antarctica. Because modern penguins live in Antarctica. However, the ‘original penguin’ discovered by Europeans for the first time actually lived in the Arctic, not Antarctica.

Antarctica and Arctic. How can the same creature live in a place located at the opposite end of the earth’s southern and northern ends?

The secret was ‘convergent evolution’. In fact, penguins living in Antarctica and penguins living in the Arctic are completely different species that have never met each other. However, they evolved with the same appearance and the same habits.

The reason is that the Antarctic and Arctic environments are similar! Even if they are completely different species, if the environment is the same, they will evolve similarly. This is called convergent evolution.

The reason why I was suddenly talking about this was because the strategy and tactics of the Arcadia continent resembled Earth.

Humans were living equally on Earth and on the continent of Arcadia. And the greatest enemy of mankind is also the same mankind.

As a result, the same weapons developed and the same tactics developed. This could also be called convergent evolution.

However, the development of the Arcadia continent is much slower than Earth. In terms of Earth, would it be around the end of the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century?

Simply put, it could be seen as having a level of civilization in the Middle Ages.

The same goes for strategy tactics. In terms of Earth, they had the strategy and tactics of the Middle Ages.

What kind of strategy is it? The answer is simple. It was a tactic of simply pushing back with incredibly powerful cavalry.

In fact, this was a representative tactic in the Middle Ages. Cavalry rather than infantry was the main battleground, and in places where there was a lot of iron, it was the most effective tactic to push heavy cavalry without complicated operations.

So what’s the next step? The correct answer is guns.

In Earth’s history, after the Battle of Pavia in 1525, gunmen slaughtered knights one-sidedly, and a knight famous for his excellence lamented, ‘The era has come when the most courageous are killed by the lowest.’

So just as the history of the earth has flowed from cavalry to musketeers, the history of this world is also going to flow from cavalry to musketeers.

Even so, there was one reason why there was no monarch who could properly use a rifle. that’s right…

‘It must be that tactics capable of operating gunmen weren’t invented.’

Guns were invented, but tactics to operate them were not invented. That is the secret that guns are not yet active in this world.

“In this world, tactics using guns will be invented in earnest in 15 years. There are still 15 years left.’

That means I could be the first to intercept this technology for 15 years.

‘If it’s a strategy against gunmen, I know one person who will look for it with his eyes open.’

Thinking so, I published a small thesis at the academy.
