09. Transfer to the main character
Everyone was seated and chatting loudly when the door opened and someone came in.
It was Andy Robinson, the person in charge of the class I already knew.
His face is familiar, but he stood out when he came out wearing an unusual outfit.
Students, who were not particularly impressed, began to mutter when they saw the splendid uniforms.
But when I realized what I was wearing, I had no choice but to grab my throbbing forehead.
‘Wow… Is it a big liver or stupid…’
He appeared wearing a splendid uniform with all sorts of decorations and medals… That was a uniform worn for occasions by the Imperial Knights, which is only worn about 5 times a year.
For a retired guy to show up wearing a uniform to take over on the first day of school… It’s a clear violation of discipline. If you get caught by the captain, you’ll really die, so what kind of guts do you have?
You must be thinking that no one in the Imperial Knights would know about it no matter how you look at it.
“This is Andy Robinson, your instructor who will be in charge of you for a year. Until he came here, he was in the Imperial Knights.”
Andy, who did not even know about my headaches and introduced himself while holding all kinds of weights, looked quite plausible on the outside.
The eyes of the students, who had been staring at me indifferently, gained strength when I went in based on the fact that I belonged to the Imperial Knights, the strongest armed group in the empire.
“Ohhhhh… “
“Imperial Knights… !”
“I’ve seen that uniform before..! They are the real Imperial Knights.”
It deserves a buzz.
It’s because there have been very few people who have retired from the Imperial Knights and went elsewhere.
Look at how proud he is. The corner of his mouth is up.
“Students who walk the path of the sword are lucky. I will teach you with the curriculum of the Imperial Knights. If you follow along, you will definitely improve your skills this year.”
If it’s the traditional training method of the knights… It means ‘that’ that five out of ten knights on active duty fail…
But there’s no way you can do ‘that’ here.
If you roll it the way the Imperial Knights do, how many people will be able to survive among them, less than 5.
Do you really want to do that, or do you just do normal training, calling it the training method of the Imperial Knights…
If you do, you can applaud that you are great to handle the teacher evaluation.
“Only believe in me and follow me!”
Looking to her side, Amy was looking at Andy-senpai with twinkling eyes.
It was a longing gaze, not knowing that those words were bluffing.
Feeling my gaze on her, Amy turned her head and our eyes met.
“…!!”
As soon as her eyes met, she was startled and turned her head back to her cute desk.
I still feel an ambiguous sense of distance.
————————————————————————- ——-
After that, Amy continued to avoid me.
Intentionally checking my movements, keeping a distance and trying not to run into each other.
Have I made any mistakes yesterday?
I thought until we broke up that we would become closer and closer, but I’m embarrassed.
But that didn’t force them to close the distance.
It’s because if I forcefully approached it now, it seemed that I would never be able to turn back with a sense of repulsion.
I don’t know, but I felt that way.
Then the incident happened.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” .”
“Is it all with words?! Do you know how much this is?”
As soon as the first day started, Amy was in trouble.
While walking down the hallway, she bumped into a student who jumped out of the corner, and as she fell, the expensive fountain pen she had in her pocket was smashed.
Of course, it was nothing to commoners or nobles who would get a recommendation letter from the expensive beggar academy.
‘Amy knows it’s not recommended admission and is messing around.’
The academy is very cruel.
The brooches used to classify students have three colors of red, blue and yellow depending on the year of admission.
Small wing decorations are added to the brooches of students admitted with letters of recommendation, but they are not attached to the brooches of entrance exams.
This is what differentiates people in the first place.
Recommendation admission is for those who have the minimum background recognized by the principal, and test admission is for those who do not even have that background.
If you are taking the exam, your basic abilities will be excellent, but it doesn’t matter if the person’s abilities are outstanding or not.
In the end, after graduation, most of the students admitted through the examination are destined to work under those who entered through the letter of recommendation.
‘If it wasn’t Amy but Hayden… That guy’s skull must have been slammed into the floor.
The aristocrat who doesn’t even know that name must have a crush on him.
From noble mtl dot com
Most of the people who entered the test are struggling financially.
He is trying to treat Amy like her slave for financial reasons.
Amy’s anxious gaze fluctuates.
After looking at me once, my gaze falls back to the floor.
There are a lot of people around.
If you throw that guy on the floor right now, it will cause a lot of noise.
Not even a day had passed since she made up her mind to keep quiet, but she stepped forward knowing that there would be a lot of noise.
“Stop it, you hate it.”
But before I could get close, someone blocked Amy’s way.
“What else are you?”
“If you’re a nobleman who will carry the future of the empire, you should have the dignity you deserve. Aren’t you ashamed to talk nonsense and try to deceive others?”
River Simoa defended her Amy with a strong expression and stood up to her man.
Deprived of my player, I tried to move forward in an awkward position, but I had no choice but to stop and observe the situation.
“Is that bullshit, that bitch broke my precious fountain pen… Is it wrong to pay for it?”
“I have a bunch of cheap fountain pens like that. I’ll give you one so keep quiet.”
It’s not enough to say that it’s cheap.. It is a brand often used by aristocrats as gifts for their children who are starting to use pens.
“No..! My… My fountain pen was given to me by my father..!”
“Did your father ever teach you to intimidate yourself? I’d like to see you later.”
‘And that was gross.’
The man’s face turned red as he spoke at a level that made him wonder if it was okay.
“This… Lee Iik..!! How dare you insult your father…!!”
Unable to control his anger, the man took off the glove he was wearing on his left hand and threw it at River.
“Come out… It’s a duel!!!”
“Is it violence because it’s pushed back in an argument, yes, that’s what I hoped for.”
River took the man’s gloves and smiled confidently.
I have a feeling of deja vu.
The duel event that takes place on the first day of the entrance ceremony is a good device to highlight the main character.
In other words, it is an event where a neglected main character shows his true value and draws everyone’s attention.
This is an incident that should happen to the original protagonist, Hayden Parker.
The event happened to River?
This… If…
Is it possible to change the main character?
————————————-
“Get out of my sight.”
“Hey Iik..!!”
The man let out a gasp as River’s sword touched the throat of an unknown man.
The duel ended quickly.
River is an honor student who is in the top 10 among freshmen, except for me.
On the other hand, the opponent was just a student with some education.
He is skilled enough to shout loudly, but he is a normal person who fights a little and can’t even come to the sword.
I couldn’t compete with River, who had reached the level of expert entry.
“Thank you.”
“I just did what a noble should do.”
Look at how nice he speaks, that’s what I want to say to most of the nobles here.
As I approached, Amy ran out after saying thanks.
“Seymour, “
“…I thought you would talk first.”
I talked to River and she looked at me and widened her eyes.
“Did you say you wanted to play against me? Set aside time in the evening.”
“What? What wind is blowing?”
“It’s not just about doing it, there are conditions.”
“What conditions?”
This condition is important.
If you think she has Hayden’s destiny… This is a must.
“If I win… Be my disciple.”
“You sound so… Cheeky…?”
Listening to my suggestion, River grinned.
I’m sure you’re thinking of it as a mischievous joke.
But I wasn’t joking.
If River was born with Hayden’s destiny, he needed to grow up through my hell training.
Because it is almost certain that you will die during the first invasion with only the beginning of Sword Expert.
Even if I can’t teach her somehow, I have to raise her expert level.
Liver, not knowing how I felt, just laughed.
“Did you see the duel? I’m pretty strong. Are you confident?”
“It’s not a big deal. Take a break and replenish your stamina. Don’t say anything else after losing.”
“No, if that’s the condition for you to win, then it should also be for me to win… You’re the only one who has the advantage.”
“… I just can’t get over it.”
I tried to pass it on only with my conditions, but it doesn’t go easily.
“If I win… Come with me when I practice.”
“What??”
Then isn’t it just the same no matter who wins?
