108 – The Fox and the Cat (2)
Who said humans are creatures that exist to eat?
Nemesis and Sora were convinced, at least, that those words did not apply to the nobles.
For the aristocrats, I thought that eating was a secondary task, and that it was only important how to play elegantly with a fork and knife.
Otherwise, there is no reason for them to receive a steaming loaf like this.
widely!
“Ouch!”
Nemesis dyed the back of his hand red from Trisha’s spear that flew fiercely.
“How many times have I told you? Nemesis? That fork is a fork used for slicing steak, not a fork used for slicing fish.”
This time, a ragweed flew on the back of Sora’s hand.
“Ouch!”
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone cut a fish with a butter knife. This might be the first article in the world to starve to death in front of food.”
Trisha became a strict etiquette teacher, educating the two uncivilized, wearing round glasses and holding a filthy sickle stick.
‘This kid is definitely enjoying himself.’
Nemesis and Sora saw clearly.
Trisha tried to get a facial convulsions as she forcibly grabbed the corners of her lips as she was about to ascend.
Actually, Trisha was happy.
You have the opportunity to legally get friends, but you say no?
Sora and Nemesis trembled and looked at Trisha.
“Don’t speak respectfully because it doesn’t suit you. Trisha.”
“When did you say I said such a vulgar thing?”
“this person!”
Nemesis puts on Nemesis’ back again! beaten
“The horse is always polite. If you think you’re going to make a mistake, keep your mouth shut. Then I’ll go half way.”
Trisha’s true intentions came out without realizing it.
“Oh, I think I can see why the nanny slapped me in the back. It’s so much fun, how can you stand it?”
“you······!”
As Nemesis was about to explode, Tigris, who was reading a book on the sofa, looked at Nemesis.
Nemesis was about to upset his stomach, but he barely held it in.
Because I said that if I can’t stand this etiquette class, I can’t become a knight.
“Still, I think you two are lucky. If you have a real princess class, you have to wear a flying dress to eat, but that’s also a different etiquette.”
Sora trembled with her hands, and suddenly, with her telekinetic power, she quickly peeled off the fish flesh and put it in her mouth.
Whoops, whoops, whoops.
“conch! What kind of crap is this now!”
“Tricia, you must have a conscience! How can a cat put up with a fish! And that’s the deliciously grilled fish!”
Sora shed tears of emotion as the tender fish flesh melted on her tongue.
The fish had already cooled down, but it was so delicious because it was my first meal today.
“Woo good!”
“Who told me to eat with so much culture and sophistication!”
Trisha now hit her on the back with her palm instead of a stick.
match!
“Ah! Trisha, you used it to come!”
“Sorry, why don’t you use forks and knives?!”
This time, Nemesis couldn’t stand it either, so eat it with a fork! I took a bite and bit the steak wildly.
It was like a fox biting the meat and eating it, the wildness was vividly felt.
“Aww! So delicious!”
“Nemesis!”

Jane sighed as she watched the table get messed up.“How do you turn them into people?”
Trisha had the basics, so it didn’t take as long as expected to teach the royal court etiquette.
But in Jane’s eyes, there was nothing more than a four-year-old baby who couldn’t stand the two of them and rushed at them.
No, I’d rather be 4 years old.
A four-year-old child can understand even if he flirts like that, but aren’t they all grown-ups?

Jane was terrified of the next Tuesday when Tigris went to work.At that time, Jane had to teach them by herself.

Jane felt a chill in her spine, which she was not already there.* * *
Nemesis and Sora’s etiquette training seemed to be going into a long battle.
This was exactly what Tchrist had expected.
Teaching the t-christ etiquette was twice as difficult as the swordsmanship training.
There are many things to memorize, and even if they are wrong, they are wrong in very small things.
Of course, it’s not like Tigris is to live by following the etiquette in everything.
But when they stand in front of the Emperor or His Majesty the Crown Princess, not as beasts, but as knights, shouldn’t they be invisible?
Normally, it is possible to pass by without observing the etiquette, but if you make a mistake in front of His Majesty the Emperor, it is beyond disgrace and is a catastrophe.
So Tigris was going to train him strictly.
“Aww! What kind of clothes are so complicated!”
“It’s a chairman’s uniform, so it is! Come on, dress neatly in order!”
Wow-!
······ Of course it will take a really long time.
The first day of etiquette training ended only when the sun was setting.
The back of Nemesis and Sora’s hands and back were full of traces of love sticks.
He seems to be quite angry, but it seems that he really wants to become a knight by persevering.
“If I become a real knight, my first duel will be you, Trisha.”
Trisha, who returned to friend mode instead of etiquette teacher mode, said with a really mean smile.
“If you twist it, it will come in.”
“Kyaaaah!”
Of course, it didn’t seem like a pure purpose, but the motivation seemed clear.
Tigris grabbed the Salamander’s sword and opened the door to the terrace.
“Nemesis, Sora.”
At Tigris’ call, the two of them pricked their ears as they were contemplating how to cook Trisha.
“why?”
Nemesis speaks respectfully.
Still, it didn’t seem like the etiquette education was in vain.
“No. Now, I’m not a knight yet, and I’m not anything. Why did I say respect? Anyway, why?”
“I am trying to see the skills of the two. Put on this armament and come out.”
“What about our skills?”
“okay. I want to see what your level is.”
“So you mean let’s stick together for once?”
“okay.”
Nemesis’ black tail fluttered.
“I was still curious. Last year, it seemed like nothing really, but now it’s nothing. Even if I ask Elder Teho or Chubby Uncle, he doesn’t give me an answer.”
Sora stretched out on the sofa.
“I just want to rest. It’s because I’ve used up all my daily effort to the bottom.”
However, Sora’s tail fluttered slightly.
“Of course, it might be different if something like a bet is taken?”
“If you guys beat me, I’ll leave you with no etiquette education.”
Sora’s ears perked up.
“really?! Aren’t you lying?!”
“okay.”
“Wait a minute, then what should I walk?”
“You guys will lose anyway, so there’s no need to think about it. I don’t even have what I want.”
“······· Does this hurt your self-esteem? Then, what are you going to do when you lose the ground?”
Tigris thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Then let me take basic swordsmanship training. There is nothing wrong with learning as a knight.”
“Eh?! You want us to learn even swords?”
“It was you, Sora, who asked you to bet. is not it?”
Sora shrugged and said.
“Well, yes. Instead, why don’t you ask me to do it again because I lost too much?”
Tigris, Sora, and Nemesis stood facing each other on the terrace.
Among them, Sora yawned and came forward first.
“I will do it first. You have to finish and rest.”
Sora pretended to be nothing to touch Tigris’ temper.
However, Tigris knew that Sora had already finished preparing for battle.
Among the beasts, the abilities of Sora and Nemesis are exceptional.
In the case of Nemesis, he had the same unique ability as ‘Shadow Movement’ as Tigris, and in the case of Sora, he had the superpower of ‘Telekinetic Power’.
Of course, when using telekinetic power, it is correct to use mana just like telekinesis magic.
So, what is the difference between Sora’s telekinetic power and normal telekinetic magic?
Telekinesis magic calculates, but Sora moves only with her senses.
But the important thing was that Sora moved the needle with ‘mana’.
Now, Tigris could see at a glance which direction and path Sora would shoot the needle in.
Trisha placed the coin in her hand on her thumb.
“Then get ready.”
Ting-
Coins soared into the sky and then fell.
At the same time, dozens of needles flew at such a speed that Charlotte and Irene could hardly notice.
It was so thin and small, and the sun had already set in the evening, so it was hard to see.
However, as Tigris saw it, he slashed out dozens of flying needles with just one knife.
No, I collected it.
Sora’s needles were stuck to the sword as if they were attached to a magnet and did not move.
“what······!”
Sora tried to bring the needles that were clinging to the sword as hard as she could, but the needles only moved a little.
“Why doesn’t this move…?”
Trisha, who can read the flow of mana by using ‘Thread of Mana’, could not keep her mouth shut.
Now I can see how Tigris is controlling Sora’s needles.
This was because the mana thread connecting the conch and the needle was offset and disappeared the moment it penetrated the unknown mana membrane that wrapped the Tigris sword.
Sora scratched her aura and tried to move the needles strongly, but it was again canceled out by the mana membrane and she lost control.
Tigris slowly walked towards Sora.
“First, let me point out the mistake you made, the first is that you used all the weapons you had without knowing what my strength was. It would have been right to leave at least one or two left.”
Sora couldn’t use a needle, so she picked up rocks that were wandering nearby and threw them at Tigris.
However, Tigris turned the stones to dust with just a light swing of his sword.
“Second, it lacks strength compared to sophistication. It’s not particularly bad for flying, but its pulling and pushing power is very weak. It seems to be a structure that adds momentum while flying, but if the four main weapons are captured like now, countermeasures are needed.”
Sora used her telekinesis power towards Tigris’ ankle.
However, Tigris completely destroyed Sora’s telekinesis and moved forward.
“Third, the structure of the four weapons is too uniform. It seems that whenever you use telekinetic power, the amplitude and wavelength of the aurora wave are different depending on what kind of material it is, but if you use a unified needle only with the pure alloy structure of mithril and black iron, other wizards can take control of the four needles.”
Tigris brought the sword to Sora’s neck.
There was nothing Sora could do.
“Fourth and last, there is no secondary attack or defense method other than telekinesis. At least, if I had learned the sword fighting and dagger skills of the beasts, they would have rushed to me. But unlike Nemesis, you seem to have neglected physical training.”
Sora had nothing to refute Tigris’ words.
Tigris removed the needles from the sword and handed it to Sora.
Sora politely accepted the needles Tigris had given her with both hands.
“Then let’s start with swordsmanship training today. I have a good understanding of your body structure and needles, so it would be better to use a thin, thin sword like a rapier.”
Sora lost so thoroughly that she couldn’t even speak properly.
Sora had never before been defeated by someone so helplessly.
Nemesis, who has the best mobility among the beasts, was in a hurry to avoid the needle of the conch, and could not even approach it, but Tigris tied the needles in a bizarre way and won very easily.
I wonder if there was some kind of device attached to the sword, but no matter how you look at it, it’s the Salamander’s sword that Tigris used often.
“How the hell did you hold onto my needles?”
“It was offset by the unique auric wave emitted when using telekinetic power. Holding on to the needles is just one of the Auror operation techniques I developed. I haven’t decided on a name yet.”
“I didn’t know when I said that I was a genius, but it was a genius that was really ridiculous…”
Is it easy to say that Sora’s unique aura wave can be instantly grasped and canceled?
If the calculation was wrong even a little, the needles attached to the sword would pierce Tigris’ body like a hedgehog.
Tigris looked at Nemesis.
“You are next.”
Nemesis swallowed his saliva.
* * *
Time flew by so quickly that it was the opening day.
The school, which had been quiet, began to be crowded again, and on the western outskirts of the Imperial University, land leveling work was started to build a building dedicated to Trinity.
During this vacation, several educational policies were passed at once, so the atmosphere at Imperial University was a little chaotic.
“Is this Trinity on the Imperial University now?”
“Isn’t that what it is? I heard that only real geniuses accept them regardless of their status?”
“What the hell is a real genius?”
“I don’t know. Aren’t we talking about geniuses like Charlotte and Irene?”
“Then we will have no choice.”
Instructors gathered in one place, smoking and talking.
“I think Trinity is hiring new instructors to teach students. I heard that the instructor personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor is the first and the instructor of the Imperial University is the second, right?”
“If I go to Trinity, will I be able to get a lot of research funding?”
“Perhaps it is? They are just throwing money away.”
“Then, shall I apply for an instructor? There’s a security magic that I’ve been working on lately…”
As everyone was contemplating whether or not to seize the chance at Trinity’s sudden launch, Tigris was looking at the list of lectures in the office.
“Hmm······.”
Swordsmanship department applicants were overflowing, but magic department applicants were a little short in the garden.
Originally, the Department of Swordsmanship had 80 students and the Faculty of Magic had 20 students, but the Faculty of Magic had only 13 applicants.
While wondering why this happened, outside the faculty building, students who appear to be students of the Faculty of Magic held a rally with pickets.
[It is dangerous to teach magic to untested people!]
[Magic is no joke!]
[It is not talent that matters, but character!]
[The outflow of magic is a threat to national security!]
“What the hell is this?”
Charlotte, who was doing chores, opened her mouth.
“I looked into it separately, but wizards from nobles hold a meeting in Trinity against teaching magic to commoners and beasts.”
“You don’t see such a signboard at all, do you?”
Irene shrugged.
“If you write such words directly, you will be disobeying His Majesty’s orders, so it seems that such phrases cannot be written down.”
“Hmm······.”
Tigris thought carefully.
Clearly, the Empire explained the origins of Trinity well to each wizarding family.
So, he said clearly that he would give the opportunity to jointly research the magic research conducted in Trinity by receiving the sponsorship and investment of the wizard families before other families.
But why are the young noble wizards making such a fuss?
Rather than that, should Tigris do this himself?
There seemed to be a deep connection between that meeting and the lack of wizards in Tigris’ lecture.
At that moment, a woman entered Tigris’ office.
She was Princess Rain Rover.
“hello. Instructor? I heard you have a bit of a headache?”
Rain Rover smiled.
“Can I solve the problem of the bloody wizards who don’t even have blood on their heads?”
