31 – Academy Entrance Exam Sword Mastery (1)
Her wavy blonde hair was shiny as if it had just been washed.
The eyes, which seemed to be decorated with green olivine, contained enough self-esteem and self-love to overflow, creating an impression of being wild.
am i handsome? Are you proud? I know.
If you look at it, it’s as if you can hear that kind of voice, and the atmosphere and attitude.
He was a man who fit the expression of a nobleman both in terms of atmosphere and appearance.
“Agion, congratulations! He said he had a good feeling, so-“
“From the beginning, I thought Agion was the best among the contestants this time!”
“Agion-”
“Agion-”
“Come on, girls. Calm down.”
Aegion Morsi.
He was now surrounded by female contestants.
It was virtually confirmed that he would win first place through a tremendous performance in the 3rd exam, even though he usually drives around an armful of women.
Agion’s spirits grew high, and he scattered the atmosphere of ‘All the ladies, come here~’.
Now he was in a state of narcissism as he dealt with each female contestant who approached him, drawn by such an atmosphere.
“Eww, what is this doing?”
Melhen, a tall man standing stoutly next to him, looked at him and muttered disapprovingly.
“hahahahaha, Melchen. you’re jealous then you can’t You don’t even take care of your appearance, so shouldn’t you be beautiful on the inside?”
“Do your sh*t in moderation, Agion. Because you’re the only one who says I’m ugly.”
“Yeah, you’re not just ugly. Because it looks terribly ugly.”
“Damn it, let’s not talk. Anyway, Agion. I flirt with women in moderation.”
“hmm? Could it be? Ladies, our Melhen-kun said that, so what should we do?”
Cheer.
At that word, the surrounding women turned their sharp gazes at Melhen.
“It just sucked. all off Get out!”
“Kyaaak~”
“Agion-nim~ Melchen is bothering me~”
“hahahahaha, I got grumpy because I took all the flowers. Even though Melhen looks like a poisonous toad, he has a surprisingly cute side to him?”
Women burst into laughter at Agion’s words.
Melhen’s rough face flushed red.
He spoke with a face flushed with half embarrassment and half anger.
“Agion. Don’t you know that you’re the de facto representative of our group? I don’t want too much, at least until the end of the 3rd exam. Behave with dignity, huh?”
“Because I’m such a hard-nosed guy. Just blindly crossing your arms and frowning doesn’t make you dignified.”
Some of the contestants knew each other before taking the academy entrance exams.
Representatively, the members of the 13th group, Adela, Menhel, and Agion – they were like that.
Adela’s family, Arpien.
Morsi, the family of Agion.
Dendor, the family of Melchen.
All three families are located in the southwestern part of the continent, and they have been closely associated with each other for a long time.
This family relationship also affects the relationship of the three people, and since they are the same age, they have been hanging out well since childhood.
The relationship between these three must have worked as an advantage for Article 13 to reach the highest gate.
“Hey- but no matter how much you think about it, it’s amazing. How can Joe get caught like this?”
Melhen muttered with a face that was still not free from excitement.
“Thanks to that, we beat them both.”
Then Aegion said with a serious face.
“No, Melchen. That’s not it.”
“what?”
“Thanks to Joe’s risk, he beat the Rebringer and Kasha Hanahan we gave him? I see it differently.”
“What do you see differently?”
He proudly spread his arms out.
“The reason our group was able to beat Rebringer’s group and Kasha Hanahan’s group. It’s because I, Agion Morsi, excelled. Even if the three of us met, would our group have reached a higher gateway than the two without me?”
“Of course we wouldn’t have reached it without you… Since one person is empty, you madman.”
Melchen had a lot to say, but decided to leave Aegion indulgent for now.
It was clear that he showed great prowess in this test.
The arms are bent inward.
Melhen also believed that Aegion, whom he was close to, was superior to those of Drin and Kasha, and wanted to be proud of it.
“Melhen, you know what?”
“Again, what?”
“I didn’t like the original Rebringer, Kasha Hanahan, those two people?”
“What a crazy sound-“
“My taste is a little more obedient and gentle woman, but those two women look so strong-but, looking at them again now that they’ve gone beyond those two, they look a little different, don’t they?”
Aegion’s face became as if he had fallen into something.
In Melchen’s eyes, it wasn’t the faces of Drin and Katya.
It was a face that fell in love with himself, who thought he was on the same level as the two.
“I’m going to talk to you two after the exam.”
Screams of interest erupted from the women around her.
Melhen just shook his head muttering, ‘Crazy’.
“Ah, by the way, Melhen. Where did our Lady Adela go?”
“Adrin, you went to see her.”
“Ah~ Aidrin. A charming lady. Why does Lady Adela not like her so much~?”
From noble mtl dot com
“It must be because of his work at the social church in the past.”
“I don’t know. Is there any need to dwell so much on things from the past? By now, Lady Adrin should know for sure that she’s no good for her.”
“You want to make sure of that.”
“Kuh-kuh, my young lady is too conscious of other people’s eyes~”
It was that time when Agion was about to fall into intoxication again with an expression of ‘On the other hand, I’m so cool that I don’t care at all about other people’s eyes’.
Herion Dedler stood on the podium and began announcing the results of the third test.
“Hush everyone!”
Agion raised one hand, and with the other hand he brought his index finger to his mouth.
From now on, he told me to focus on his great performance, which will be mentioned in the mouth of Herion Dedler.
Agion, Melchen, and the women surrounding them.
All of them listened to Herion with expectant eyes.
“Group 17 consisting of three contestants: Aidrin Teln, Ms. Baurer, and Ceylon. Congratulations.”
“…?”
“???”
Melhen and Aegion’s expressions hardened awkwardly.
But it didn’t end there.
“Continued, we will announce the contestant who received the highest points on the individual evaluation criteria and placed first.”
“no way…”
Aegion murmured.
Let’s say it’s possible that your group didn’t finish first.
but-
“Ceylon. Congratulations.
It was absolutely unacceptable for someone else to lose the individual No.
“Ceylon…?”
“Who is that?”
That too, to someone who hadn’t even heard of it, not even Drin or Kasha.
“Ceylon…!”
At that time, he said that Melchen knew something and chewed the name.
“Do you know him?”
Its unique soft composure had disappeared without a trace.
Aegion warmed up to Melhen with a cold, hard expression.
“Well, you know. Surpassing Sir Kasha and the Sir I gave you in the second test-“
“ah.”
“that.”
Voices of dissatisfaction and malice began to emerge from the surroundings.
Ceylon.
His notoriety among contestants was already growing.
An ignorant cloth that tried to surpass Drin and Kasha’s grades in the second test by using unfair numbers.
“What happened?”
“Isn’t this an unfair move like in the second exam?”
“What the hell is the academy doing?”
“…”
“Uh, Agion! Agion!”
Agion, who had been quietly listening to the stories around him, left his seat and headed somewhere.
Melchen hastily approached him.
“Hey, Agion! Calm-“
I was so embarrassed that I tried to dissuade Aegion, but I was speechless the moment I saw his expression.
He seemed to have lost his temper, so he tried to calm him down, but Agion’s expression seemed a bit excited.
“Hey, Agion. What are you? What are you thinking about?”
Aegion said with a handsome expression.
“Definition of justice, or something?”
“What? Justice done?”
“Look at the atmosphere around you.”
The waiting room was noisy.
Everyone was dissatisfied with the result of Ceylon winning first place.
It felt like it would explode if touched lightly.
Aegion closed his eyes and spread his arms.
As if savoring the atmosphere.
“Everyone was expecting me to be #1.”
“No- Oh, yes. Let’s say everyone was expecting you to win first place. So?”
“What would happen if I stepped forward in this situation and defeated the villain who repeatedly disturbed the authority of the academy entrance exam by unfair means?”
“What? Get rid of it? What are you going to do?”
Aegion took something out of his arms and showed it.
It was a handkerchief with the pattern of his family, Morsi, embroidered on it.
“Crazy bastard…! Trying to challenge a duel in the academy entrance exam!?”
“What are you so surprised about, Melchen? I hear you tried to challenge that commoner to a duel too.”
“No I- because he insulted Lady Adela-“
“Me too. That guy is insulting the academy.”
Aegion said with a sad face.
“I’m trying to set the cause right.”
Like that, he spoke intoxicated with the self-proclaimed hero.
“What, you said you were doing it because you lost first place.”
Melchen wanted to stop him as much as he wanted to, but on the other hand, he was also looking forward to it.
– Room and room.
The look of the smile disappearing from the face of that unlucky narrow-eyed child.
Soon Agion arrived in front of the podium where Instructor Herion was standing.
“uh?”
“Sir Morsi!”
“Sir Morsi…”
The participants who had gathered in front of him cleared the way, greeting him with expressions of anger at the injustice, compassion and concern for Morsi.
This is awesome.
Agion spoke to them, barely managing his expression.
“You don’t have to worry anymore.”
As I approached the podium, the first thing I saw was Adela.
“This is nonsense, Officer Herion!
In short, it was the appearance of the greatest injustice and dissatisfaction with the current situation.
“Aidrin- Team 17 reached the highest level!? Something, isn’t something wrong!? We, Team 13, have reached Level 9! Level 9, which is 2 levels higher than Sir Drin and Sir Kasha!”
Herion said that he would check the data as if others were showing off at her words.
“The final record of Article 17 is 10 gates.”
At those words, the attention of the people around them was once again focused on the 17th group.
Adrin of the Teln family.
Let’s say she can.
But the other two were the problem.
A member of the Bower family who imitates swordsmanship with fake assassination techniques.
In addition, a commoner who, up to now, none of the contestants were ignorant of that notoriety.
Those two people outed themselves?
Even that was not enough, Kasha- You said you surpassed Aegion, who beat them both?
“Impossible!”
“Nonsense!!!”
“It’s obvious that I did something unfair!”
The nobles gladly supported Adela, and together with her protested against Herion.
Even in the immediate situation, Article 17, who was receiving all the hostility and malice in one body, remained calm.
“hahahaha, this is true. Is the reaction very hot?”
“Hmm, is this the victor’s view? It looks like it’s full of worms.”
“How can you be so carefree…?”
“That’s what Miss Aedrin is talking about, doesn’t she look carefree?”
“No, that’s-“
Because I knew how our group, group 17, did in the 3rd test.
It was the same with Harion.
“Like for the second exam, we need to review his exam record! Something must come out!”
“you’re right!”
Herion was right about what a participant said, so he tried to show them the records of Article 17.
Unlike Sinia at the time of the 2nd test, which tried to cover up Ceylon’s performance somehow, Herion’s intention was to actively highlight Ceylon’s performance and at the same time make them understand.
All participants would agree without objection if Herion’s eloquence was added to the video data.
“Sir Agion Morsi deserves it!”
“That’s right!”
However, it was not only Herion who was only looking for a chance to step out.
“Now everyone! Calm down everyone!”
When someone mentioned his name, Agion wanted to attract attention with his signature exaggerated movements and graceful voice full of ego.
“First of all, thank you to those who are willing to raise their voices for me.”
Agion gracefully greeted the female contestant who mentioned his name.
“But, everyone. I’m fine. I respect the judgment of the academy and Instructor Herion.”
He gestured politely toward Ceylon.
“I also salute him for taking first place.”
Agion greeted with a gesture that meant splendor rather than politeness.
“Yes? Ah~ Thank you very much. Hey~ Sir Aegion acknowledged it like that, so you don’t know what to do?”
Perhaps because of this, Ceylon’s bewildered appearance stands out even more.
At this moment, the temperature of the participants towards the two is sharply contrasted.
Agion continued to speak, feeling more confident in his actions.
“By the way, Ceylon. That’s really great. 10 gates.”
“hahahahaha, should I say I was lucky? Because I met good members of the group.”
“I agree. It’s very important to meet lucky members in a test like this one. But, Ceylon. As you already know, luck isn’t everything. There’s definitely something special about you.”
“No, such high praise…! Even if they gave me such praise, nothing would come out…!?”
no.
It’ll come out, you stupid bastard.
Agion hid his true intentions and spoke very politely.
“It’s not just flattery. Clearly, you have something special. If it wasn’t for that, you wouldn’t have reached the highest record and won first place in this third test. In that sense, Ceylon. I have a suggestion for you. I’ll do it.”
Aegion took out a handkerchief from his bosom and showed it.
“A special person like you deserves to shine in front of other people as a main character on stage. In that sense, I will be your stepping stone or a supporting role to shine in your leading role.”
Everyone in the place understood his intention and burst into cheers.
Agion!
Ceylon!
Agion!
Ceylon!
Enthusiastically, the names of the two were chanted and the board was formed.
It wasn’t the mood to refuse Agion’s offer.
Herion, who was watching the situation, murmured softly.
“It’s just fine.”
Aegion’s ears perked up as he caught Herion’s words.
‘Did it go well?’
What does it mean?
Was even Herion Dudler dissatisfied with the current situation?
The color of narcissism under Aghion Morsi’s graceful expression deepened.
He looked at Ceylon.
“What kind of heat…!”
At this point, the bewildered look was rather endearing.
“Now, so- what do you want? Ceylon.”
Aegion spoke to him, feeling a euphoric feeling inside. The answer came right back.
“You take it, Ceylon.”
From the mouth of Herion, not Ceylon.
Agion to MC – ‘I will be your stepping stone’
You certainly will 🤣🤣🤣
