I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Veronica’s Useless Worries

It was a little questionable.

What Leo has prepared is a potion of weakness.

I know roughly how effective it is, but I don’t know exactly how long or how long it takes for the drug to take effect.

Since each potion is different in the first place, only Leo who prepared it can know for sure.

Anyway, because I don’t know when or how they’re going to feed it to me.

I’ve been paying attention since yesterday, but there’s still no movement.

Yesterday, I even checked that he was handing a potion to Elin.

Now the duel begins.

If you’re going to give me a potion, there’s no time and no way.

Just when I was wondering what the hell I was going to do, I felt a faint presence.

If I hadn’t been so sure that someone was coming and hadn’t been vigilant, I would never have noticed.

To be so secretive, it was an elf.

I can guess why Leo made her do this.

However, I still don’t know how to feed them.

As soon as I felt a presence, I quietly headed behind the door without making a sound.

If the back door to the waiting room opened and she came in, I planned to subdue her without making a fuss.

However, the door did not open all the way.

Instead, the sound of leaking wind that you wouldn’t have heard if you weren’t paying attention.

I frowned.

‘What the hell is it?’

The sound continued, and I was waiting behind the door.

She still doesn’t come in, instead.

My body started to lose strength, to the point where I could feel it only when my senses were sensitive.

Could it be that?

I didn’t expect this

The elf, Elin Nidia, is an excellent archer.

What made her later called the shrine was the guidance of arrows using the elves’ wind magic.

It’s a guess, but now she was pouring the potion into the waiting room through wind magic.

‘Just like a humidifier.’

I smirked.

If this were the case, would the efficacy of the drug be greatly reduced?

However, that was my mistake.

I quickly moved my hand into my arms, but it didn’t move as quickly as I wanted.

Oh, I forgot he was the Duke of Epsilt.

There was so much money that it rotted, so I must have bought the best potion.

Soon the faint sound of the wind ceased.

After waiting for her to disappear, I gently opened the door to the waiting room and waited for all the medicinal effects in the air to dissipate.

If only I thought they would add potions to my drinks and food.

If I had only tried to be prepared to the extent of being careful about what I ate, it would have been a disaster.

But, for me, it was because of the circumstances of Count Wallenstein.

I was criticized for spending so much money, and there was a countermeasure that I received instead.

It’s not as much as the duke’s family, but I’m also from a count’s family.

I slowly took out the detoxifying potion from my bosom.

Let’s drink it, the potion of weakness will lose its medicinal effect.

It would have been difficult to decipher if I had drank the finest potion he had prepared.

Thanks to the way Elin fed me, a significant amount flew into the air and was detoxified.

Moments later, the waiting room door slammed open.

The duel was about to begin, but it was Veronica who entered.

I grimaced, but she strode in, not paying attention to my reaction.

“what.”

Veronica also looked like she was contemplating something for a while, with a frown on her face.

“Ugh… ”

“What?”

When my patience runs out, she finally opens her mouth.

“Louis! Do you have anything to say to me?”

As I shut my mouth and stay still, she said urgently, with a sign of frustration.

“Oh really! Listen carefully. Leo prepared the Binding Scroll. It’s not a proper scroll, but it’s still dangerous… ”

I was surprised.

Why is Veronica doing this to me?

“I won’t be able to use it openly, but anyway, if there is a sign of trying to activate a scroll, avoid it right away. got it?”

However, in the words that followed, I was able to figure out her ulterior motive.

What, not a curse scroll, just a bondage scroll?

If there’s a sign that it’s about to activate, avoid it?

I resisted the urge to laugh again.

Veronica brazenly said, ‘How is it, thank you?’ had the same face.

“Okay, what do you have to say to me now?”

she says again

“Oh, yes.”

“Whoops! hurry… ”

“get out.”

“… what?”

she gets angry

“hey! Not an apology, but at least thank you… ”

“Get out.”

As I speak coldly, she walks out with an abominably wounded expression on her face.

The curse scroll is not something you can avoid or do.

It just activates directly on the cast target.

I didn’t know that Leo would reveal some of his plans, and even use Veronica to sell traps like this.

Even if I believe in Veronica and talk about scrolls and other things before the duel.

After all, Professor Ian, the observer, is on his side, so there is no problem.

Pretending to do a body search and saying there’s nothing there.

On the contrary, it might make me a naive idiot.

Guy Leo, you used your hair unappealing.

But anyway, I know all of his plans.

this doesn’t work for me

Besides, I had no intention of stopping the duel while I was figuring out his plans to the last.

After waiting a little longer, Professor Ian finally came to the waiting room.

He led me to a duel in the middle of the arena.

Finally, the duel begins.

—

Before the duel, Professor Ian explains the things to be careful about.

For example, in a sacred duel, foul play is not tolerated.

As for weapons, only duel weapons that have been approved in advance can be used.

At that point, I laughed.

Also, no matter how the outcome of the duel comes out, you have to surrender.

I liked that one.

I listened to the boring professor’s words with one ear and spilled them with the other.

Instead, I saw a gym full of people.

Originally dueling was a popular spectacle.

This time, even that person was the heir to the Duke of Epsylt, a candidate for the hero, and the heir to the traitorous Count Wallenstein.

A few days ago, the entire academy was buzzing with rumors about a duel.

Perhaps thanks to that, not only the students in my class, but also students from other classes and even from other grades gathered.

Okay, great stage.

In the place where she unintentionally turned her head, even the princess had come to watch.

He’s a very strange person.

She made eye contact with me and smiled a little, so I smiled as well.

There were also a few members of the student council around her.

There was also a human named Sasha that I saw last time.

No, if you’re still reading books here, what on earth does it mean to have a tour?

Anyway, while I was selling my eyes, the professor’s words were over.

he goes out of the arena

We stood at both ends of the arena, and each drew our swords.

Leo Epsilt exclaims.

“Louis Wallenstein! Even now, if I know your subject and get down on my knees, can this body show special mercy?”

The cadets who have been cheering for Leo Epsilt since before.

They were talking about being generous, even with that squeaky typical villain’s lines.

He didn’t respond to his words, he just laughed.

Leo’s expression hardened, and our nerve war was over.

Finally, as Professor Ian Dexter shouted outside the arena.

“Start!”

As soon as his words fell, the energy of mana began to vibrate in Leo’s sword.

Unlike the last Dalian, I didn’t have to move fast.

With a seemingly relaxed attitude, he lowered his sword and moved to the center of the arena.

The audience seems puzzled, but I saw it.

Seeing Leo put on a relieved expression.

A sword with a lot of mana.

Leo draws the sword behind him and lunges at me.

Originally, how to use a great sword.

I don’t know anything else, but the destructive power is certain.

Until he got close to me, I didn’t dodge.

A smile of repentance spreads across Leo’s face.

He swung his sword wide…

I pulled away from his sword half a beat later than when I should have avoided it.

Thanks to that, a breathtaking scene was created.

A sigh rang out from among the crowd.

What was in Leo’s eyes was regret, not embarrassment.

With my slow movement, he’ll think he’s been poisoned.

Yes, I wanted to see his despair in believing that way.

At the same time, I rotated the hanging sword one large revolution.

Now it’s a duel, not a battle.

Instead of subduing my black bastard, his sword slapped his cheek.

Without even trying to hide it, I burst out laughing.

“Ahahaha!”

Leo staggered, enraged, and summoned mana again.

“Ahhhh!”

This time, a top-down attack.

It was his simple sword, which he always saw during party assignments.

A sword that seems to be effective only against non-human monsters.

Again, just before the sword touched me, I kicked my foot to the side.

At the same time, I hit the arm holding the sword that had just hit the floor with my sword.

His face is stained with pain.

I have to kill the opponent, but I have to be a little careful as I haven’t yet found an alternative to being a hero.

Instead, I intend to completely break his mind instead of his body.

The guy screams and runs again.

In front of that ugly mana, I smiled brightly.
