Chapter 66 Bluff (2)
“Let’s make a bet.”
Frontier pulled out a wooden sword provided in the private room.
“A bet?”
“Did you get to level 5? It’s just like the test there.”
Step 5? Are you talking about a skill test?
If it’s level 5, it’s definitely Elodie-senpai’s… … .
“Time limit of 5 minutes. Excluding the limbs, from above the pelvis to below the shoulders. If you can touch me, it’s your victory. After the time limit, my victory.”
Pielot’s expression became serious.
When I fought Elodie, I couldn’t even touch a fingertip, even if it was 5 to 1. But this time it’s one-on-one.
But the opponent is not Elodie-senpai, but Sloth-senpai. I also took off the black cloth, so it might be worth trying… … ?
“What is the bet?”
“If you win, I’ll make it unheard of for you to steal the Heukryeon. If you want, I can introduce you to my friends.”
“Are you friends?”
“okay. Elodie, Aster, Robald, Aten… … . Among the people who took the skill test, I can introduce them to these guys.”
At that, Pielot opened his mouth. All of them are famous seniors.
Does Sloth really get along with all those people?
“… … What if I lose?”
Pielot asked nervously.
Behind such a coveted fruit, there is always a poisoned witch waiting for it.
As expected, Frontier said with a low smile.
“If you lose, you will be my messenger for a semester.”
“Poetry, messenger?”
“okay. When you call, they come right away, and when you call, they do what they tell you. No matter what you’re doing then, when I call, stop what you’re doing and run within 10 minutes. Well, I won’t be calling you during class, but other than that, everyone should be ready to come at any time.”
Pielot swallowed his saliva.
That’s an errand man. Totally… … .
“Or will you just give up? Of course, rumors of a thief would spread throughout Constell.”
The eyes of the speaking Frontier were evil. Pielot grinded his teeth.
“… … I’ll do it.”
“great.”
Frontier put the wooden sword in front of Pielot and the tip on the floor.
“I will fight you with this wooden sword. You don’t care what weapon you have. It could be a real sword.”
“You are underestimating.”
“no.”
Frontier denied it with a single blow.
His subdued voice and eyes were dazzling.
“You are ignoring me.”
“… … .”
“Don’t worry too much. Once a month, I will give you a chance to try again.”
Frontier said as if it was natural for Pielot to lose this time.
Pielot took out his favorite, Bastard Sword.
“You won’t need that chance… … !”
Pielot posing with a horse. Soon his aura increased.
“There is no start signal, so come in whenever you want.”
Saying that, the Frontier still didn’t hold a pose. The tip of the sword is touching the ground.
‘You know me funny!’
Pielot raised his blade and stabbed it in horror. Frontier, who was not properly poised, was full of gaps.
With Auror’s vicious force, Pielot’s sword pierced Frontier’s chest.
Frontier lightly lifted the wooden sword that had touched the ground and brought it to Pielot’s blade.
‘It’s no use! If you break through it like this-‘
shhh-
When the swords of Pielot and Frontier touched each other, a strange sound was heard.
“… … ?”
Pielot couldn’t understand the situation for a moment. The hand that stabbed the sword suddenly became empty, and it was like he was holding out his empty hand in front of Frontier.
It was a ‘crack’.
chin-
The tip of Frontier’s wooden sword touched Pielot’s sword.
A metallic sound was heard behind Caang and Pielot. Looking back, there was his Bastard Sword.
It flew out of his hand, flew over his head, and fell behind him.
“… … hey, what is this… … .”
“I died once.”
Frontier gently pushed the wooden sword.
Pielot said nothing and stepped back. As Frontier said, if the sword he was holding was a true sword, Pielot would have been stabbed more than five times.
“Well, this is not my win condition, so I still have a chance. It’s been less than five minutes.”
“… … !”
Upon hearing this, Pielot stepped back and retrieved his sword. He reached out to grab the sword that had fallen to the floor.
Whoops!
“Ouch!”
His hand hit something and bounced off. was not visible to the eye. This is the ‘invisible weapon’ that Frontier showed the other day.
“It’s just out. When the enemy is right in front of you, it is not enough to turn your back and stretch out your hands defenselessly.”
gang! cuckoo! Kaang!
This time, Frontier threw a woven weapon at Pielot’s Bastard Sword and bounced it back one after another.
The Bastard Sword, which jumped lightly with anti-elasticity after taking the first step, danced in the air while being beaten by the weaving of Frontier. At this point, it was truly a work of art.
“Besides, you’re already aware of this attack, and yet you’re doing it.”
“Hey, give it back! My sword!”
“The world would be a little more peaceful if I had said that and gave it back.”
Cuckoo, Pielot spit and stretched out his hand again towards his bastard sword. This time, he pushed his body together.
“Not bad.”
puck! Pub!
“Ugh… … !”
Pielot was beaten several more while recovering his sword. Pielot grabbed his sword again and straightened his posture.
Frontier thought to himself.
‘I have a long way to go.’
Frontier’s pure weaving takes effect only for a moment and disappears, but it is not without lethality.
The reason Pielot is holding on is simply because he cares. He didn’t weave a proper weapon like a sword, he just threw all kinds of junk.
So Pielot’s current actions are also out. If Frontier were the real enemy, he would have died from egg slaughter.
‘You play foolishness in a strange place.’
Pielot has talent, strength, and above all, the will to win as a fighter, but there is something loose.
Aside from calling for ogi, he sets his own standards in himself, saying, ‘This is going to be okay’.
It’s probably been fine until now, so it’s a habit.
In the end, what Frontier will do remains the same.
I’m just going to fix Piellot from the root.
“Everyone, I’m going back!”
In the meantime, Pielot was keeping his signal straight.
Frontier let out a smirk.
“That kind of resembles Aster.”
“… … !”
“Don’t be happy. It’s not a compliment.”
And don’t put a tee on your face.
Pielot rushed at Frontier again with a slightly red face.
* * *
And the next day.
“Look at that.”
“Oh my gosh… … .”
At Constell, the students chatted to each other at the odd scene in the classroom.
“Hey, is this right?”
“Yeah, well done.”
Pielot gave Frontier bread and chocolate milk. Then he nodded his head and walked away.

Naturally, all the students in Class 1 watched it. All the students passing by the hallway noticed, and looked at Frontier and Pielot alternately with puzzled eyes.“… … Hey, Frontier.”
“yes?”
Aster came.
“What are you doing to your junior?”
“Oh, don’t you know this bread? These days, it is popular at the kiosk, and when you eat it with chocolate milk, it tastes so amazing.”
“Not that.”
Meanwhile, I saw Attendo Frontier sitting next to me.
Rarely, he had a strict gaze.
“Frondier, if you are threatening the child with violence or using any information… … .”
“No, Aten. must be wrong It’s not like that.”
Frontier immediately waved his hand in denial, then stopped in the middle.
“… … is not it?”
“Mr. Frontier!”
“Anyway, I’m not doing anything to worry about you.”
Rather, the bad thing was done by Pielot. It’s like being punished for your sins right now.
Hearing those words, Elodie, who had her chin on her chin, said.
“Even if it’s not, it seems like all the students are imagining something similar to Aten right now?”
As Elodie said, the current students were busy talking about Frontier.
—Sloth told Pielot to run an errand.
─What? what errands?
─I heard that there are cases where they have you buy bread, bring a newspaper, or just call when nothing is going on?
—Huh, what is that? Why is Pielot doing what he tells him to do?
-It’s obvious. Sloth has a weakness. He said he was threatening by digging into Pielot’s painful past.
─Is Natae… … .
Frontier’s reputation deteriorated a few days after entering the sophomore year, in that the freshman’s top prospects were given a bread shuttle.
His reputation as ‘Human Sloth’ was also the worst, but this time it was the worst in another sense.
The Frontier has now gone from incompetence to terror.
Really Natae This is a buzzword for Frontier these days.
“it’s okay. Because I am doing what I need to do.”
Frontier spoke as if he didn’t care about those rumors. I didn’t really care much.
Even when she was in her freshman year, a bad reputation followed her like a label. Whether it’s this way or that, it’s the same.
“I’m not going to do this anymore.”
“Aren’t you going to do it?”
“okay. I only did it a few times because I needed a little smoke screen.”
He must have expected that Pielot himself would receive such an order. That is why Frontier is giving the order that Pielot was expecting.
When Frondier’s true intentions are mixed with those orders, so that Pielot doesn’t notice.
“You are the best prospect in the first year. You have to save it.”
“… … If it’s severe, I won’t let it go.”
Aten gave a light warning.
There is plenty of room for it to look dangerous just by ordering the bread shuttle, but Aten didn’t get involved any further. Aster and Elodie also lost interest and returned to their respective seats.
One way or another, he believed that Frontier wouldn’t do anything problematic.
and after school.
At the closing time, the homeroom teacher Jane said.
“Recently, there have been strange rumors in Constell.”
At that word, all the students looked at Frontier.
“Oh, I’m not talking about the Frontier students.”
At Jane’s words, the students turned to look at Jane again. Frontier smiled in dismay at the seemingly inconsistent sight.
“Recently, clubs and clubs are being actively encouraged to new students, but there are people who sneak in and make strange suggestions. You know?”
At that, one student raised his hand.
“Well, what kind of proposal is that?”
Jane’s lips twitched at those words. To be sure, you need to know what the offer is and pay attention. However, it was true that the content was a little disturbing, so I was hesitant to talk about it.
Jane, who seemed to be talking a little, slowly opened her mouth.
“At the moment, it is in the stage of rumors, and there is a lot of false or exaggerated information, so there is not much I can say with certainty. But based on the information so far, someone who comes to make a suggestion usually has a similar first question.”
After hearing that first question.
Frontier, Elodie, Aten, Cybel, Selena. The expressions of these five changed.

[Do you want to be strong?]
After school, Dier, who was walking to the dormitory, heard a strange voice and stopped walking.
Turning around, he saw a smiling man talking to him.
Every time he saw that face, Dier recognized it.
‘mask.’
It’s hard to tell if you look closely, but if you compare the neck and face, there are oddly bumpy corners, and the skin tone is a little off. It’s probably pretty cheap. There is a clear difference in quality compared to the high-end products that Quinier used.
[Dier Aeger. Unlucky child.]
“It’s a strange voice.”
Dier said. It was the same with the mask, but the voice was also altered very badly.
Maybe he just avoided the requirement to be banned from entering as a suspicious person in Constell. It’s okay if you don’t open your mouth, the voice, and you won’t be able to recognize the mask easily if you don’t have the keen eye of Dier.
‘Besides, you know my name.’
Dier shook his head for a brief moment. Low-quality masks can be obtained cheaply if there is a distribution line.
In other words, the purpose of this mask is to purchase a large amount rather than because there is no money. It is highly likely that there are several people who talk to you in this way.
‘Many people are talking to the Constell student, and they know the name in advance… … .’
Is there a list of students to access? If there is a list, what is it based on?
[Dier, your abilities are outstanding.]
“thank you.”
[However, your body and mana do not follow it.]
“It’s painful.”
Dier stepped back with his right foot. It was a good posture to run away and approach. Conversely, it was also a posture that made it difficult for the opponent to know what Dier was thinking.
[Take my hand, Dier. We will make up for your lack of mana.]
“Hey.”
[Dier, you would know. Despair of what the head and eyes see, the thoughts reach, but the body does not follow. I’d rather not be seen, I wish I wasn’t so wise. Isn’t it lamentable when people who don’t know anything have powers that surpass you and use them foolishly?]
“… … .”
Dier’s eyes narrowed.
[We won’t help you. I’ll give you the body and mana to catch up with your eyes and your head. No more giving orders to stupid horses, I’ll make it possible for you.]
A man’s hand reaching out so softly.
Dier simply stared at it.
