“… … .”
Slightly atrophied by the nine pairs of cold eyes staring at me silently, I regretted that I made a mistake in opening my mouth now.
I forgot for a while because the content of the conversation was so low-key, but these writers are the ones who broke into the academy, killed the knight and kidnapped me.
As long as they are alive and not dead, they will not die immediately, but there is no need to offend them meaninglessly.
Because you might think that you don’t have to be whole if you can take them hostage.
“What did you say now?”
Perhaps a man who looked like the leader of the people gathered here pointed a sword emitting an ominous light at me and asked.
I was a little daunted by the opposite of the nerd-like figure I had before, but I quickly regained my composure and told him.
“… I apologize if it sounded like an insult. I didn’t mean to insult you, I was just confused after I woke up.”
“… … .”
The man stared at me for a while without saying a word, then lowered his sword and turned his back on me.
With a sigh of relief, I looked around and saw that this was a forest presumably near the Academy.

Maybe he moved away from the academy with space magic, but thinking about it in that way is endless.
‘… What is the purpose of these people?’
At first, I thought that maybe they were taking them hostage and trying to get a ransom, but I don’t think these talented people risked such a thing because they didn’t have enough money.
For any political reason, there is no merit in kidnapping me by turning the Academy and the Royal Family as enemies.
So, what’s left is to do with that swordsman who broke into the academy someday?
As the prosecutor’s colleague, there’s something a little strange about it, but it’s something that people can’t tell just by looking at it for a while.
“What is your purpose?”
First of all, I thought that I was not going to die right away, so when I asked that question, the man showed a surprisingly good response.
“… … Curious about our purpose? Then there’s nothing I can’t tell you.”
The words that started after that were a feast of words that had no nutritional value and did not even make sense to the extent that I regretted why I asked such a useless thing.
I thought Ian’s theory of talisman, which tells the story of friction, was the worst, but there must have been a bottom.
After the feast of horses that wanted to cut out the eardrums, the man who coughed once put his hand on his waist and asked with a triumphant expression.
“How about our grand ideals!! No, I know without saying it. It must have been such a wonderful ideal that even you, a human, would want to turn into an honorary magic sword!!”
“… … This was the second experience that made me want to give up my hearing. If that is a grand ideal, then the psychiatric ward is a haven for philosophers.”
“What, what… ?!”

Men who were indignant at those words… No, the demon swords all drew their weapons at once and aimed them at me.
However, perhaps because he had heard that word earlier, even when he aimed his weapon like this, he didn’t feel the same fear as before.
There are people who are afraid of madmen or rookies, but there are also people who are afraid of people with a lack of brains.
I just closed my eyes because I thought it would be cut soon, but no matter how long I waited, I could not feel the cold touch that cut my body.
When I opened my eyes for something, they were still staring at me with their weapons pointed at me and doing nothing.
“… … what? Are you not cutting?”
“you… What the hell do you believe in? Who do you think will come to the rescue in this situation?”
“… … to save… .”
In fairy tales and stories, it is common for princesses or young girls to be kidnapped by dragons or demon kings.
The hero defeats the evil and rescues the princess after a long adventure, but the reality is not so easy.
For example, if a village girl is kidnapped by a bandit, it is obvious that the girl will face all kinds of humiliation by the bandits on that day without even going for a few days.
Rescuing a hostage at a tight timing is something that only happens in the expedient fantasy of fairy tales and stories.
Even in my case, the chances of them coming to the academy to rescue me before beheading me were slim enough to say the least.
But, in such a situation, why do I remember the face of the hard-headed man who refused to go to the prom together?
It was stupid and he was so crazy that he couldn’t even compare it to these demon swords, but sometimes the trusty man’s face lit up in front of his eyes.
Of course, there is no evidence that he will come to the rescue. We also know that at this time, there is a higher probability that he is also practicing meaningless feet at the training ground.
But the thought that he would come over and over did not leave my mind, and after taking a deep breath, I raised my voice and shouted his name.
“Ian!!!”
A loud voice echoed through the forest, wondering how such a loud voice could have come from, even as I thought it was, and the forest was engulfed in silence for a while.
But for a while, someone started to laugh, and ridicule began to appear on the faces of the demon swords.
“What kind of nonsense did you come up to this point and lean on a man!!”
“It’s an idea like a swordsman who can only rely on a demon sword!!”
“Why don’t you call me one more time? Whether he comes or not!!”
To some extent relieved by laughing at me, all the weapons pointed at me were lowered and only the vulgar laughter remained.
If I tried to ignore the ridicule that bothered my ears, I started to hear a sound completely different from the sound of laughter in my ears as I lowered my head.
“Hey, what is this sound?”
As one demon sword said so, the other demon swords followed suit and listened in the direction the sound was heard.
– All right, all the way.
When I heard the sound of a horse sprinting across the ground, I could see a ray of light illuminating this gloomy situation with a thought in my head.
For me, the light of salvation was darkness that would rob them of their future.
“Everyone, raise your arms!! He’s coming!!!”
Hearing that, the demon swords raised their weapons and aimed at the bustling forest, and a horse with a refreshing blue mane came out through the bushes.
“Hey hey hey!!”
“Hey, horse?! The owner… !!”
Seeing the Silence that did not burn the owner, the demon swords realized that this was a two-way operation, and quickly turned their heads, but it was already too late.
Chalkang, now when the familiar light friction sounded, the two demon swords that had been roaming around me returned to their swords and fell to the floor.
“Jessica!!!”
I felt like I was going to burst into tears when I saw him calling out my name with a very serious expression unlike usual.
“Hey, Ian… !!”
I followed him and shouted his name, and he ran towards me and ran past me and behind me.
“… … Ian?”
At first, I thought he was trying to loosen the rope, but since his hands aren’t tied, it doesn’t matter if you just do it in front of him.
As his face became invisible, a familiar uneasiness suddenly overtook his body. That anxiety became a reality as the tree to which his body was tied began to tremble.
“Wait, what are you going to do now? !!”
“Footwork… !!”
With such luck, the tree pole began to tremble even more violently like a willow hit by a storm, and then it was uprooted.
And with me, tied to a tree, I was swung towards my enemies, who had not yet grasped the situation.
“Baldoot with deep roots!!!”
“Ahhh… !! Hey you crazy bastard!!!”
*****
“Ian!!!”
Jessica’s voice calling me was able to locate her, but at the same time there was one problem.
Conversely, the fact that he raised his voice so loudly was the fact that the enemy’s attention was drawn to Jessica.
Jessica could get hurt if she rushed in like this, so she sent Silence to distract the enemy.
It was an improvised operation, so I was a little nervous about whether it would work, but the operation was a great success, but there was still one big problem.
[The skill that has just been activated is not a foot sword, so skill creation failed.]
The problem is none other than this skill spear, who cannot accept his ignorance and uses force.
It’s a really absurd thing to say.
A wooden sword is a sword, so if you look at the wood, the raw material of the wooden sword, it can be said that it is a sword. This technique of slicing wood from the ground can also be regarded as a sword sword, so why is it not recognized?
Jessica, who has seen my balding technique many times, would understand, so I spoke to Jessica, but… .
“Ah… … .”
Jessica, hanging from the tree, seems to have passed out from swinging the tree so hard.
To pass out without even saying how we felt about our first joint venture like this… .
Even though she was a warrior, Jessica was a weak, bun-haired girl who had not learned the art of foot swordsmanship.
“Silence.”
At some point, the riot stopped and I put Jessica tied on the back of Silence, who came back to me, and Silence ran away, damaging the bushes without looking back.
“No, you think I’m going to miss it!!”
Saying that, the exploding spear I had ever seen aimed at Silence’s back, but I wasn’t the only one watching it.
‘The strength of the body is that of a swordsman, but… .’
Unfortunately, that skill was far from reaching the level of a swordsman.
With a horrendous binge, he slashed the forward spear and slit his waist, and he couldn’t even react, and fell to the ground without a pulse as it was divided into upper and lower body.
“then… How many bags do you have left?”
