13. There are a lot of eyes to see, so I put up with it for now.
About six new students were empty, but the academy was running lively without any problems.
It seemed that River and Amy shared the fate of Hayden, the main character of this novel.. Devil Slayer of the Academy.
The trivial events happen to Amy, but all the major fighting events happen to River.
In the first class, events like showcasing your skills in sparring happen to River, and events like chasing a cat and discovering a special item happen to Amy.
“I think it would have been better if I pretended to come in there and swung a beat later.”
“Showing fake moves leading to real attacks… It’s difficult”
“If it’s easy, it’s not an advanced skill.”
I had a friendly relationship with River.
I was worried because I felt very reluctant to take on body odor, but it soon got better.
Even though I give you advice on this and that while working out and cutting the knife together every morning, it’s not like a disciple.
We sparred with each other with wooden swords this morning too, and the level of advice given to River is getting higher and higher.
Reaver, who is talented and enjoys fighting while working hard, grows noticeably through sparring with me.
Thanks to that, I didn’t feel much of a sense of crisis in the events that came out as short cuts in the beginning.

When the sparring was over, River said, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
“Atlas, why don’t you do well in class?”
“I have a personal situation… And you don’t have to jump.”
In class, I act in moderation as much as possible.
I’m in a position where I don’t want to be known for making a fuss… I’m trying to restrain myself as much as possible.
It’s not nice to hear a buzz among the kids… But River, who doesn’t understand the situation, tilted his head.
“Being strong is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s unconditionally good, but it’s uncomfortable when the guy who beat me is fidgeting in class.”
“Okay, I’ll consider it.”
“Mr. Seymour, here is the water.”
“Thanks Amy.”
“What!”
As the sparring was over, Amy, who was stretching nearby, babbling over to her and handed River a bottle of water.
He follows me every morning, exercises with me, and takes care of me like this.
“Do you have another one?”
“Yes here… hot?! Yes four…!”
As I took out another canteen from the basket, I was startled when I saw my face.
Amy and River became close after that day, but she still maintains a strange distance between her and me.
It’s not that I don’t hate it when I see how they treat each other on a daily basis, but at some point, they distance themselves as if they’ve remembered something.
Has anyone heard me gossip?
I want to ask you later, but I’ve done a lot of things in the past, so I have nothing to say if that’s really the reason.
————————————-
It is the time when factions between classes become established to some extent.
Most of them tried to stick to a large faction centered on the Five Pillars, but this class is in a situation where the Five Pillars, Lucia Russell, avoids people…
“Good morning everyone.”
“Good morning, Mr. Woodville.”
The tiger did not want to ascend the throne, so the fox sat on the throne.
The cute little girl with brown pigtails who went to school while garnering everyone’s attention was the fox.
The first daughter of Woodville, a bourgeois family that owns the empire’s most famous self-made man, the empire’s first ‘largest after Phrygia’ Woodville Company… Dorothy Woodville stood at the top of this class in place of Lucia.
There were not one or two kids who challenged that position… Dorothy quickly took over the class with her unique tongue that grabbed people.
Aristocrats wouldn’t have welcomed Bourgeois, a self-made commoner, but he made a great speech.
It seems that everyone has been able to afford it since the faction has been stably captured.
“Oops sorry I can’t see it.”
As I was walking down the hallway, someone intentionally hit me on the shoulder.
Since their position is firmly established, they can see the guys looking for toys.
It is forbidden to bring slaves to the academy, so they try to enslave students who are weaker than themselves.
To my great annoyance, there were some madmen who targeted me.
I’m sure he’ll try to touch you, get you to use your hand first, and then use a duel or other method to subdue and pamper you.
I took classes moderately, but it seems like I looked down on them a lot.
It was very distasteful to poke it as if it were secretly trying.
‘Should I boil it?’
But I could stand it for now.
Charles, whose ankle was cut off on the first day, could be said to be unfair, but now the situation is special.
First of all, there were quite a lot of eyes to see.
‘If you do it in a place like this, cleaning up after yourself becomes a hassle.’
And… I don’t know who ordered these guys, but they are just hands and feet.
Those things like this will only complicate the later work, but it will be more troublesome because the hair you ordered will remain the same.
‘As soon as it is revealed who it is, it will be destroyed.’
I’m investigating whenever I have time, so the head will show itself.
“Is this also a personal matter?”
“Yes.”
Reaver said as if he couldn’t understand leaving them alone.
“I think we can defeat them one by one in a duel… If you won’t do it, will I?”
“It is not yet time.”
“Yes, somehow you will solve it well.. But like I said before, I feel uncomfortable when the man who beat me is like that. If you’re going to do it, do it quickly.”
“Are you worried?”
“It bothers me.”
After River says that, he leaves to prepare for class.
I’m supposed to keep quiet, but being a target like this is already a situation where I can’t keep quiet.
It’s getting too noisy to beat the arguing ones one by one… Quietly, one by one…
Suddenly, I felt the eyes looking this way.
This is Lucia Russell.
It’s still huge.
Every time I see it, I think about how great it would have been if I was like that.
“What are you doing?”
Lucia, who had been quietly staring at us, moved.
“… Sorry.”
“Suddenly?”
‘”I’ll try…”
After saying that, Lucia turned around and disappeared somewhere.
What is he talking about all of a sudden?
————————————————————
Lucia, who was walking briskly, arrived at a lounge where soft sofas were arranged with a sense of soft lighting.
It’s like a private bar.
One of the secret spaces created inside the academy, it was a place made for the use of the Five Pillars.
As soon as Lucia Russell entered, she said to a man who was already drinking.
“Lemnos, don’t touch him.”
“Oh~~ what the heck, Russell.. You could say that. I thought you couldn’t talk because you didn’t say a word.”
At Lucia’s words, the man who was sipping whiskey nodded.
Edgar Lemnos, the legitimate son of the Lemnos family, called the Red Dragon of the Empire, had dark brown short hair and a strong body that was exposed over his clothes.
Even compared to a man, she was bigger than Lucia, who had a big body.
“…I told you not to touch it.”
“Who am I to not touch?”
Already knowing everything, Lemnos asked slyly.
All the students who started messing with Atlas two days ago are all in the same class as Lemnos… It is a fact known to all of the Five Pillars that his faction has close aides.
“This is Atlas Nemea, a dwarf from our class. You’re not someone to mess with.”
“What if I don’t like it?”
“If you don’t like… !!”
Lucia was furious at Edgar’s words.
“Will you finally duel with me?”
“… “
Lucia’s hand, which had been raised, stopped.
Lemnos and Russell, the two families in charge of the armed forces in the Five Pillars.
From the outside, they seem to be cooperating with each other, but behind the scenes, the families were constantly fighting for rank order.
It’s not difficult to duel.
But… Lucia was banned from dueling by her father.
Lucia’s expression hardened as if it was okay to fight, but she couldn’t disobey her parents’ orders.
“hahahaha, I’m kidding, I’m just kidding Atlas… I don’t know about that, and I think my classmates do that, so I’ll try to talk.”
Looking at Lucia’s expression like that, Lemnos laughed.
But his eyes weren’t smiling at all.
————————————————————
I didn’t have to look for the head.
The head, which kept touching me by ordering the limbs, made its appearance in large part.
“Hey dwarves..! Duel with me.”
I didn’t know what kind of confidence it was, but looking at his face, I could tell where it came from.
“Edgar Lemnos.. Why do the five pillars work for me?”
It was so sudden.
Of the Five Pillars, Lemnos, who is ranked within two fingers by force, is living like a jjuguri.
“It was you who dropped out of Charles Frazier for a duel. Do you think that would be enough reason?”
“I don’t know what you mean… ?”
How does that guy know that?
If it wasn’t for the faculty, you wouldn’t know
Students didn’t know that Charles dropped out and I had something to do with it, so little by little a fuss spread.
“This duel is not a favor.”
As Ramnos spoke, his subordinates rushed behind him and surrounded me.
The atmosphere is threatening that everyone has a weapon on their waist.
‘If you come out like this… Rather, thank you.’
To break through straight ahead is definitely a man.
I was more annoyed to touch you from behind, but I’m so grateful that you came like this.
At this point, I’m going to break it down and get disciplined.
Inwardly, I spit out joy and prepared for the duel.
“Yes… a duel… “
“What are you doing!”
At that time, I hurt the crowd and someone blocked my way.
It was River who looked very angry.
“They came rushing in… Aren’t you ashamed of being the one who will join the Five Pillars!”
There’s no need to do that, but River frowned as if I looked dangerous.
“Because Seymour is fine… “
I’m fine.
River may be in danger, so let’s back off first.
As I grabbed River by the shoulder and tried to get him to step back, I heard a shout.
“Get off the third party!”
– Puck!
From noble mtl dot com
A red crab jumped out in front of my eyes.
Bloom.
Whose blood was spilled?
Let’s trace back to the source.
I see the thick arm of Lemnos swinging in the air.
I could see River’s face with blood splattering from his mouth.
River bled while trying to protect me.
Sparks fly in your head.
-False profit
I heard something pop on my forehead.
