The Hero Didn’t Study – 3
Students at the academy are equal throughout their school years. The royal family, royalty, nobles, and commoners receive education on an equal footing. A place where there is no hierarchical relationship and only the difference between teachers and students. That is the iron rule of the Imperial Academy.
Synonyms include ‘I’ll stay and work, so please leave first’ and ‘I’m not angry, so tell me the truth.’ Etc. It says yes, but in reality it is not at all. In fact, it’s not even necessary to look at it roughly.
‘Ainter is an exception, though.’
Dalian There are only four beings that can make an opponent quit while crying. No matter how much they have no real power, Ainter, who is still a member of the royal family, Ryutis and Later, who have royal shields that no nobleman can dare to penetrate, and Tanian, who is called the son of God in doctrine.
Of the four, Ainter does not take the practical training course itself. It’s because he’s the type to focus on pure studies, not swords, magic, or divine power. In the first place, the crown prince was holding a dragon head and tap dancing, but if he increased his strength, that would not be courage, but recklessness.
‘Tanian has nothing to worry about.’
Although he is labeled as a candidate, in fact, the divine power of the next saint, Tanian, was bestowed by God. According to the doctrine of the Church of Dawn, no one dares to evaluate the god-given divine power of Tanian, so the practical exam is a free pass. In the end, the only ones left were Lutis and Later.
The Royal Knights of Armenia, including Villar, will reside in the arena of Lutis, and the Royal Knights of Juven and the Magicians will also keep an eye on the arena of Later. With Tanian getting a free pass, the Holy Church Nation’s forces, which are relatively free, will be distributed in a distributed manner.
In terms of skills, he has a lot of power that surpasses the two princes, so the possibility of him becoming a master is extremely low. No matter how you think about it, the biggest victim of this practical test is the scapegoat, the rival of the two princes. I’m sorry but I can’t help it. Because if only the two of them are sacrificed, everyone is happy.
‘Still, I’m glad it’s over in a day.’
I let out a sigh of relief as I checked the Dalian schedule I received from the principal. There weren’t many students taking the practical test, and there were many sparring halls, so I could progress quickly. If you are nervous for just one day, you will be able to get over it.
Students who take the practical exam are divided into those who take it lightly enough to be cultured and those who take it with all their might. And of course the latter is what I’m looking for. The former will take care of themselves, so there is no need to worry.
That’s why I go around all the arenas with the principal to prepare for any unexpected situations. Although the headmaster is a decrepit old man on the outside, he is a powerful wizard beyond the empire and on a continental basis. The older the wizard, the more terrifying it is.
“The future of the empire seems bright.”
“I think so too. It makes my heart race to see so many great kids come in every year.”
And since it was only for safety, I didn’t expect much from the students’ skills, but it was better than I thought.
There were also cases in which opponents were ridiculed with technology, overwhelmed with physical abilities, or crawled around with evil spirits. Various appearances were seen, but the common point was that no matter what the sparring process was, they won in the end.
‘It’s okay.’
Since I am still a student, I am not at the stage of full maturity. Still, if you roll it right, it will be a useful force. Like the student council president.
…Like the student council president?
‘Oh.’
A thought suddenly passed through my head, and I hurriedly pulled out my notebook from my pocket.
***
“The future of the empire seems bright.”
The headmaster of the Imperial Academy, Bernhard Mursch, nodded at the words of the head of the Inspection Department. The empire is vast, and there are many talented people. How heart-thumping every year when a brilliant kid comes in and surprises him.
“I think so too. It makes my heart race to see so many great kids come in every year.”
These children will grow up to be the pillars of the empire. At one time, he devoted himself to the Empire by roaming the battlefield with His Excellency Iron-Blooded, but now he is old and old. However, how happy would it be to contribute to nurturing new pillars with this old body.
Bernhard was looking at the students with a happy heart, but he had no choice but to look away when he heard a crunching sound from the side.
The director of the inspection department was writing something in his notebook before he knew it. It wasn’t something to worry about until now, but it bothered me that he was staring at the students he had seen with happy eyes with sharp eyes.
“Director of the Inspection Department?”
“Oh, excuse me.”
The inspector general closed the notebook, but Bernhard couldn’t erase his anxiety. Since the Director of the Inspection Department came to the academy, he moved whenever he moved for the academy, and it certainly never harmed him.
However, if the head of the inspection department looked at the precious students with prey eyes, he should know why. That is the proper duty as an educator and as an old man who will serve as a support for future generations.
“Do you have any excuses? But as this old man got older, his curiosity only grew. Can you tell me what you wrote?”
“No big deal.”
Putting the notebook into his bosom, the inspector general’s eyes were still on the students.
“I was writing down talents who would serve the empire.”
The inspector general, who slightly raised the corner of his mouth, seemed very satisfied.
“Very good. The future of the Empire is indeed bright.”
At that, Bernhard pondered over what to answer. Clearly, it would be a pleasure if students caught the eye of a high-ranking official and received a letter of recommendation. However, it bothers me because the high-ranking official’s eyes are not normal.
However, the worry was short-lived. Apart from notoriety, the Inspector General is known for his patriotism. He will not do anything strange to a student who dreams of becoming a bureaucrat or soldier.
“Yes, I can’t wait to see those kids grow up.”
Those children will definitely move on to a good future.

Thoughts running through my head. Yes, I am the student council president. I found a good raw stone like the student council president and secured it faster than anyone else. The academy is a place of education where inexperienced gemstones like the student council president gather. And the person who first discovers and snatches the gemstone is the owner.
A decent guy should be pushed into Section 3 or 5. If that’s not the case, it’s okay to recommend it to the Ministry of Special Affairs or the military. Those guys are always complaining about the lack of manpower, so if you send a prospective civil servant like this and show condescension, it becomes easier when you ask for something.
‘There is no other bonanza like this bonanza.’
Every time I wrote down the number of the sparring ground where a striking sparring took place, I was satisfied. Would a professor feel like this when he sees a prospective graduate student? Anyway, if I catch 10 people here, I think my future will be easier. If you stab three of them in other departments, they’ll be thrilled.
I didn’t stop writing my own small and precious Pokémon encyclopedia until the principal called.
‘I’ll have to check it for the next exam.’
At that time, a new gemstone may appear. The future of the Empire and my future seem very bright.
Finally, the sparring of Lutis began at the swordsmanship training ground. I felt the momentum of the Armenian royal knights hiding here and there change.
“I lost…”
And after a while, it ended smoothly to the point of futility. No matter how sparring it is, the courage to wield a sword against the royal family cannot rise. Maybe it’s possible if you’re a crazy republican bastard.
If La Terre had followed the knight route, he would have been with Lutis, but he is a magician. These are things that don’t always help.
“It was a fun sparring!”
You were the only one who enjoyed sparring.
My sympathy for the other person deepened when I saw Ryutis smiling and shaking hands with the other person. His skills don’t look bad, but his opponent is royalty. It’s really unfortunate.
‘He’s a nice guy too.’
His body only lowered his head, but his heart touched his chin while looking at his opponent who would have bowed 90 degrees. If you surrender at the same time as the start of Dalian, it will be too obvious, and instead of harming the body of the royal family, you will buy the royal family’s hatred. So, the opponent was beaten by Ryutis and endured the time of endurance.
How amazing it was to tank with the least pain possible while getting hit, stabbed, and cut. It is the most difficult thing to lose in entertainment that the opponent does not notice than to win by fighting with all your might.
‘There are many talented people.’
I also saved Ryutis’ opponent in my heart. I don’t know if this academy is the Golden Horseman or if this level is average. Well, it’s a good thing from the point of view of the person who picks it up.
“Ohh. This is a coincidence. It looks like Erich’s sparring is about to begin.”
“You mean Erich?”
While I was limping down to the other side of Ryutis and seeing Kaiser Soze walking fine again, I heard the voice of the principal who was looking at the other training grounds.
“Do you want to go see it?”
“I don’t know if that’s going to be the time.”
“Is there anything urgent now that the training for Ryutis is over? The training for the Ministry of Magic is still a long way off, so that’s enough.”
I nodded my head at the heart of the principal who presented me with a sufficient justification. It’s true that I’m also curious about how much Erich’s skills have improved.
“Then you’ll be fine.”
“Student Erich says his skills are improving day by day. It’s the first time I’ve seen it myself, so I’m looking forward to it.”
“I’m more proud that the principal said that.”
“It’s not empty words, so you can do as you like.”
We exchanged good wishes with each other and moved to another arena, where I could see Erich who had just entered the arena.
And as soon as we appeared, Erich’s fighting spirit rose surprisingly rapidly. It was so obvious that the opponents of the match were flustered.
As soon as the sparring started, Erich’s charge as if he had fallen into evil was quite impressive. It is a skill that I am proud of and satisfied with.
‘Everything is good.’
It’s really nice.
Why do you look at me and suddenly you seem to be running with your teeth clenched?
Is it because of my mood? To think so, the eyes were definitely on my side.
I thought we were getting closer, but my existence was still a berserk totem for Erich.
