42 – aka wheel – 42
“If Nizazelle taught mathematics, it was in this classroom, right?”
Raphael and I arrived at the math classroom on the 3rd floor of the academy. Inside, Nizazel’s heated class was going on.
“… After all, wouldn’t it be nice to come back after class?”
Considering that I was still in class and Nizazelle felt bad for me, it seemed like a catastrophe would happen if I went in now.
“… … Gregory, didn’t you listen to Nizazel’s lessons properly?”
“What do you mean?”
“Look at the time now. It’s been about 40 minutes since Nizazel started class, right? So, just wait a little longer.”
Not long after Raphael said that, Nizazel’s voice was heard from inside the classroom.
“Then, I’ll take a break for five minutes. If you need to go to the bathroom, please do so quickly.”
“Did you see it? You can go in now.”
When everything went as expected, Raphael smiled, grabbed my hand, and confidently entered the classroom.
Seeing her, Nizazel’s eyes widen.
“Raphael… ! What are you doing here?”
Wow, Nizazel greets me with a totally different attitude than when she first saw me.
Raphael also kept a smile as if he was used to Nizazel’s attitude.
“No. It’s nothing different, I’m trying to audit your class. are you okay?”
“Sure! Raphael-sama is a great student and summoner. however… … Why did you bring that man?”
Nizazel’s eyes turned cold as she moved her gaze to mine.
He still seemed to hate me.
“hmm? Ah~ me and ah.ju. I mean it’s because they’re close friends. Can I listen to you?”
“… Are you a close friend? I don’t mean to ignore Raphael-sama… … . That man is a man who has never done anything called concentration in my class. There are also students from other academies, and it could cause damage.”
Raphael turned his head and looked at me at Nizazel’s words.
“Gregory. Is that true?”
“… … Mathematics is not necessary for liberal arts.”
“what? Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, right. Gregory. You, a novelist, don’t have to study math. Still, can’t we listen to Nizazel’s lessons from now on?”
“Don’t try.”
After hearing my answer, Raphael looked at Nizazel again.
“Okay, okay? Can I go to class?”
Seeing that, Nizazel sighed and shook her head as if she couldn’t help it.
“… … Because Raphael asked for it. You can sit in any empty seat.”
“huh! Thank you. Let’s go. Gregory.”

Getting permission was easier than I thought. Shortly after we sat down, the students who had spread out began to take their seats one by one.
The five minutes Nizazel had said had passed.
“Okay then, let’s resume class. Looking at the problems we just solved… … ”
“Raphael. Do you feel any energy?”
I asked Raphael, who was sitting next to me, cautiously in a low voice.
“hmm? Not yet? Well, I’m just here to do some reconnaissance. Wouldn’t it be possible to find out later, around training time?”
“… … is it.”
“Hey, Gregory Jones?”
Nizazel, who was standing in front of the church, called out my name in a shrill voice.
“… Why?”
“The problem I just solved. Can you apply it to solve this problem?”
On the blackboard next to Nizazel, problems that Nizazel erased and rewrote were written on the blackboard before she knew it.
… … Was that root?
I know roughly how it came about, but I couldn’t come up with a way at all.
“why? Can’t you solve it?”
seal. Nizazel’s lips moved.
That bitch, it must have been part of me trying to solve the problem.
“good night. I’ll release you in no time.”
Having said that, I spoke quietly to Raphael before standing up.
“Raphael. Breathe out a life that will kill me right now. to focus on me. can you do it?”
“hmm? what… … . I can do it, but why? By any chance, does Gregory like that?”
What to do with this crazy angel
“Stop talking nonsense and do it now.”
“… … Well, I get it.”
After saying that, Raphael’s mood changed.
She, who had been looking at me with benevolent eyes until just now, is trying to kill me.
And as I expected, this trait should be activated here.
[Intelligence increases explosively.]
[Skill: Black Swamp] is available.
The intelligence enhancement that depended on [Attribute: Terrible Vitality] was activated.
Also, it was as I thought.
The way I thought it would be possible because this body is a wheel.
The problem on the blackboard, which had only been seen as an alien language until just now, was only visible at the multiplication table level.
I walked out confidently and confidently wrote the answer without any explanation.
It was to show that I had solved it with mental arithmetic.
“to?”
And Nizazel staring at the scene in a daze.
“Is it okay?”
“Oh, no. Wait… … .”
Nizazel staring blankly at the problem. Soon, from her mouth, ‘Is this correct?’ word came out.
She also solved the problem with mental arithmetic.
“You, are you sure you solved it?”
“Can’t you believe it? Could you write down any other issues?”
“under! great!”
Confidently, as soon as you write a new question, write the answer right next to it.
“… … this is real It makes no sense.”
“I, a liberal arts student, can solve this much. Don’t ignore the liberal arts in the future.”
After saying that, I returned to my seat and sat down.
Nizazel just stood there, still dazed.
“… … Professor Nizazel? Shouldn’t we be going to class?”
Nizazel came to her senses only after the Night Academy cadet, who was sitting in the front seat, said that.
“Ah, yes… … . I will continue the class.”
Nizazel, who is conducting class even more depressed than before.
After leaving Nizazel behind and chatting with Raphael, the class was over before I knew it.
“Are you done already? Oh, it was a lot of fun.”
“Do you think the story of how you scapped the devil in the past would be interesting to me?”
“hmm? Wasn’t it fun?”
“… It was fun.”
Clearly, Raphael belonged to the kind of good storyteller.
No, how can you solve the story of the devil’s head in such a fun way?
Without [Attribute: Noble], there were more than one or two points that would have made me laugh out loud.
“I’m glad you had fun. Then, should we follow the next class?”
She got up from her seat with a smile on her eyes, grabbed a student passing by and asked about the next class.
“Oh, that’s great. Gregory. hey I heard that the next class is a swordsmanship class?”
* * *
“… … how Do I have to help with the second year swordsmanship class?”
2nd year swordsmanship class.
For some reason, I was carrying a wooden sword.
“hmm? Isn’t it Gregory who asked me if I would like to audit the class?”
Marvas laughing in front of me as if having fun, and Rafael giggling with his arms crossed beside him.
“Then Raphael, why are you not participating?”
“I can’t because I have to concentrate to feel the energy, right? Then, our Gregory should make an effort, right?”
You speak well.
“I know what you want, so I’ll do my best to help.”
After muttering that, Marvas called a male student who was warming up.
Judging by the outfit, he seemed to be a student at the Night Academy.
“Who among you is the most free of swordsmen?”
“Yes, among us, Lysyl Runark. Her sword is the freest.”
Unlike in front of Nizazel earlier, the cadet of the Night Academy responded politely with complete courtesy.
Apparently, since they use swords, they seem to have extraordinary respect for Marvas.
“Good. Lysyl Runark. I’d like to have that student and interest fight, can I ask for your opinion?”
“All right.”
A male student heading towards his colleagues. I asked while glaring at Marvas.
“What is the reason for the sword brother to fight a free guy?”
Marvas put on a face filled with spirit at my words.
“Aren’t you using the swordsmanship of the f*cking Gregre style or the Granola style? As much as your swordsmanship is free, I wanted you to fight against an opponent that suits you.”
“… It’s Gregory. And for that reason, I accept it.”
There was a lot to learn from sparring with the swordsman at any time.
“Did you call? Sword Master.”
A female student with her brown hair tied back approached and bowed to Marvas as a sign of respect.
The name written on the name tag on her chest is [Lishyl Runak].
The uniform of the Night Academy was khaki with red lines, but rather than a school uniform, it was a design that felt more like a soldier’s uniform.
Perhaps, that would be the identity of the Night Academy.
“Sword Saint, you are now in the position of an instructor, so call me Instructor.”
“All right. sorry. Instructor. By the way, may I ask why you called me?”
She, too, was courteous to Marvas, befitting a sword user.
“I heard that the type of sword you use is the freest. And this friend next to me also has a very free sword.”
After hearing Marvas’ story, Risil looked at me.
Dark eyes and brown hair tied back for ease of movement. A well-trained body, even at a glance, showed what a great knight she was.
“… It’s a face I haven’t seen in the second year.”
“I am Gregory Jones, the summoned beast of Roger, a first year student. not even my friend how about Can you sparr with him?”
Rishil just bowed her head at Marvas who asked with a smile like a benevolent grandfather.
“Yes, and I think there must be a reason you singled me out for this fight. I would like to thank you.”
Risil and I entered the empty arena. Unlike other competition halls where students judge each other, it seemed that Marvas was going to judge our match.
“Then, prepare——.”
Marvas gestured as he raised his hand.
The opponent is a knight who came as an exchange student from the night academy.
It seemed that fear through ‘transformation’ would not work, so I prepared for ‘transformation’ at the same time as the beginning.
“start!”
“transform.”
At the same time as he shouted, sparring started, and after transforming, I ran towards the lysyl in front of me.
“Gregory style——Non-Yeonkak (費延脚)”
It jumped out and flapped its wings at the same time as it jumped, adding propulsive force, rotating its body and maximizing its acceleration and swinging its right foot.
“Wait a minute! This is swordsmanship—”
“To me, all six are legs and all six are arms. In other words, this is also my swordsmanship.”
It was not wrong. Because now I am a bug and an insect.
“Keugh! I think I know why Lord Marvas arranged the sparring.”
Holding the sword with both hands and bending it to the left, Risil’s sword blocked my kick.
The wood collides with my carapace, echoing a blunt sound.
“Then I will have to show you too!”
She bounced off my foot with her sword and kicked me with her front foot.
The sudden kick attack pushed my body backwards and widened the distance.
“Ha, is this what the older brother of the sword said that he was free?”
In other words, it meant mixing and using martial arts for swordsmanship.
“Please look forward to it more.”
“Yeah, don’t expect too much.”
Finally, Gregory’s opponent appeared.
