Chapter 058. teaching (3)

After quickly examining the situation, it seems like he saved me properly in a dangerous moment, but it was very difficult to deal with it because I was screaming without realizing it.

How do you explain this?

‘Ah, really.’

My head hurts, but the situation isn’t over yet, so I decided to finish what I was doing.

I walked very slowly, facing the troll.

“Kuh, ugh… .”

Every time I took a step or two closer, he also took a step back, trying to keep his distance.

When I walked ten steps like that.

Took.

The troll’s back touched the cage.

I could feel that he was perplexed.

“Go in, dude.”

I didn’t care and moved on, and the troll seemed to hesitate for a moment.

“Grrr… .”

He let out a low cry and went inside the cage.

I immediately closed the iron window and locked it so that it would not open again.

After shaking the door a couple of times to make sure it was completely locked, I let out a sigh of relief.

“Whoa.”

Then he looked back at the cadet, who almost became a troll Bob, and asked.

“Are you okay?”

“… What?”

“Are you okay?”

“… What??”

“… done.”

I was in a state of being unable to speak due to extreme mental shock, so I looked at it myself.

There were no wounds other than a cut on the hand.

It was probably cut by the dropped sword because he fell backwards and misplaced the floor.

I was bleeding quite a bit for a few days, but I was glad I was able to do it.

“I-I’ll take you to the infirmary.”

The whole situation ended when a cadet who had been watching from a distance approached and took him away.

After that, the instructors who appeared belatedly took care of the situation properly.

Three locks were added to the cage where the troll escaped, and in addition to that, restraints were added directly to the troll’s body.

And what I was worried about didn’t happen.

I was worried about what to do if I thought it was strange that I had pushed the troll away without using mana or magic, but rather, this worked in a positive direction.

In fact, it is said that it often happens that monsters driven into a corner get frightened by the spirit of a high-level knight.

So, ‘Actually, Roan was an alien being!’ Instead, the thoughts naturally coincided with ‘You have great spirit at such a young age!’

Coincidentally, the troll wasn’t in a normal state of mind due to drugs, and my condition in the morning was that I was ready to kill anyone.

“Did I?”

“yes. To the point where I thought it was someone else… . Why did you do that? They say Dante is sad.”

“huh? … ah.”

Looking back on my memories, I remember someone suddenly putting a hand on my shoulder at lunch and knocking it off.

At that time, I didn’t know because I intentionally didn’t pay attention to my surroundings, but that must have been Dante.

“I guess it’s because I couldn’t sleep.”

“?”

“… Actually I don’t know either. Why did you do that?”

I didn’t really have any excuses, so I was moderately evasive.

Fortunately, Yuriel did not point this out.

“At first, I looked around saying that I was in bad shape. See you separately later.”

“okay.”

As an apology to Dante, I should buy him something delicious later.

Anyway, the incident was moderately settled and the afternoon class was held right away.

“The vanguard… .”

“Of course you should!”

Members of the crew, who were full of dissatisfaction until just yesterday, send eyes of trust.

But there was one problem.

The condition of the trolls the cadets had to deal with had become strange.

The leader of Group 1, who started the evaluation first, called the instructor with a puzzled expression.

“School, Instructor?”

“… … .”

It was because the troll was not paying attention to the first group of cadets right in front of it and was only watching from afar.

That guy judged me to be more threatening than the opponent with the spear knife right in front of me.

“I was really scared. How the hell did you do this?”

When there was no response even when he hit it with a stick, the instructor muttered something absurd.

“The evaluation is temporarily suspended.”

I was going to wait until the troll had calmed down before proceeding.

However, when the normal evaluation did not proceed over time, the instructor eventually approached with a troubled expression and said.

“Roan. Won’t you let me out?”

“My evaluation is… .”

“I’ll give you the highest score, so for now, skip this evaluation.”

There was no reason not to accept that they gave the highest grade without taking the test.

“uh… . Then let’s go.”

Leaving behind the other cadets who were staring at me so much that it stung my back, I left the gymnasium.

* * *

The evaluation period was quite long, totaling one week.

However, since I was left out of the evaluation itself, the week returned intact to my free time.

‘It just went well.’

Learning from Kayla is beneficial, but I was worried because the side effects were so extreme.

After about a week, if you get used to dying (?), the side effects like today will disappear.

When I returned to the dormitory a little early, I saw Noah watering the garden.

After growing all the crystal plants, he started to buy and grow one by one to restore the energy of the land.

It is said to be an edible kind, but it has never been on the table because it has sprouted buds yet.

He quietly watched as he watered the large garden alone.

“Can I help you?”

“?”

He checks this way, checks his watch once more, and asks why he came already.

“I’m not going to school for a while.”

-how much?

“one week.”

-… why?

His expression changed seriously as if he didn’t know something was wrong.

‘… No, do you think it was an accident?’

I was just guessing.

I heard from Yuriel that today’s condition is quite serious.

I asked carefully.

“How was my morning?”

“?”

“It was a bit strange.”

-little.

It is said that after getting up without saying a word, he ate and left immediately.

Fortunately, he didn’t touch it, so it seems he didn’t treat him as badly as he did with Dante.

He let out a sigh of relief and gave a rough explanation of why.

“And maybe a few more in the near future.”

“… … .”

I will try to keep my rationality as much as possible, but it will take some time to get used to it.

“uh… , So if I do it again, just ignore it.”

-okay.

I even helped with watering and headed to my room.

He let out a resigned sigh as he changed into his cadet uniform.

“after.”

How many more times will I die today?

After sitting cross-legged on the bed, I focused my mind.

‘… … .’

Spirit sinking deep.

When I reached the corridor where memories of the past were buried, I called him.

‘Sir Kayla.’

Woooooooooo!!

The ghosts of the past gladly answered the call.

I gripped my sword tightly, feeling the intense life force tightening my breath.

* * *

Surely he doesn’t know how to teach others, so did he tell him to win himself through trials?

As he said, he never gave us the easy way.

“You can see the fear in your eyes!”

‘… sh*t.’

I put a knife in my eyeball, and of course I see fear in my eyes.

But he didn’t listen to my excuses and mercilessly slaughtered his descendants.

“You will see the sword only when you remove your fear.”

“Huh, huh… !”

“And the best way to get rid of fear is to constantly face it.”

“… !!!”

That logic has killed me hundreds, no thousands, of different ways.

The mental wear and tear was so great that for the first three days I could not tell whether I was alive or dead.

But as time went by, I started to get used to it.

The mind became more and more hardened as it went through stimulating forging, and the speed of recovery also increased.

Pooh!!

“Hoo?”

Kayla raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at the sight of her right eye staring straight at the sword with the other eye.

“You finally opened your eyes.”

“… … .”

“Let’s stop here this time.”

It was six days after I started imagery training.

And on the last 7th day.

When I was able to catch up with Kayla’s movements to some extent with my eyes open.

Only then did his sword paths begin to show one by one.

‘see.’

Where do you turn and where do you go?

and how it changes.

How a single sword path extends into thousands and tens of thousands of branches.

‘beautiful.’

I forgot to even move and looked at it as if possessed.

The extension of the sword looks like a slow screen.

Even though they were clearly aiming for my neck, I kept my eyes on the tip of the sword without blinking.

Chew!!

With the natural flow, his throat was cut.

blurred vision.

But at the end, I was able to steal one of his swords.

next day.

I headed to the academy just a week after finishing the mental training.

The evaluation was over, and the first place was, as expected, Yuriel this time.

“For the time being, there will be no assessments, instead focus on individual guidance.”

And after the individual guidance period, they say that they will take a theory evaluation right away.

It seemed that he had a relatively comfortable schedule mixed in between, as he took two evaluations with high marks in a row.

On the way home after all classes are over.

“Roan!”

I turned around at the voice calling from far away.

Dante was walking this way with Uriel.

Dante approached quickly and put his hand on my shoulder in a friendly manner.

And even scrub.

“long time no see.”

“… Come on?”

I hope that I can’t grasp the situation due to some contrived attitude and freeze for a while.

Dante, who had a slightly flustered expression on his face, noisily removed his hand and said,

“Oops. May I touch you?”

“!”

Uriel, bursting with laughter at that surprise joke, turned his head.

Her earlobes turned red in an instant, as if she was forced to hold back a laugh.

Realizing that it was a joke, he responded with a sigh mixed with laughter.

“… I’m sorry. really.”

“Only in words.”

Fortunately, when I see that I can smile and talk like that, I don’t think I’ve built it up that way.

Dante, who confidently asked for something, replied with a blank smile.

“Then what more do you want?”

Dante is in trouble.

“Uh… .”

I narrowed my eyebrows and pondered for a while with a serious expression on my face, so I thought about what I wanted.

Perhaps because of their different sense of money, the request itself was very simple.

“Buy me some food. expensive ones.”

“After thinking about it for a long time, is that all?”

“You want me to buy something expensive? Let me try what the nobles eat.”

“Well, okay.”

It wasn’t a difficult request at all, so I nodded my head willingly.

And at this time, Uriel, who had barely stopped laughing, also joined the conversation.

“me too.”

I opened my eyes wide at an unexpected word and asked again.

“you also? You want to buy it?”

“I also like what others buy. Because I didn’t get any allowance.”

“why? ah… .”

While talking, I realized why.

From noble mtl dot com

Her family doesn’t like her trying to become a knight, so it’s hard to give her pocket money.

“How has your life been so far?”

“As prize money for the tournament.”

“… … .”

It is said that money is always left over because he wins first place in every competition he goes out to.

Well, since the competition hosted by the academy is large, it might be enough.

Besides, Uriel wasn’t particularly extravagant.

“okay. I will buy you too.”

He answered with a smile.

And after checking the time, he continued.

“It is time for dinner. Shall we go right away?”

No one refused.
