73 – Grand Duke Aka – 73
When I came out of the room, I saw the Summoner Academy party including Priscilla and Raphael.
“Is it over already?”
“yes! I did my research in a more relaxed atmosphere than I thought. Thanks to you, it was over quickly.”
Priscilla smiled and answered. I wonder if she proceeded with a different atmosphere than we did because she was the princess.
Raphael grinned as he looked at me thinking that way.
Yes, that guy went in with him, but there could be something special.
“why? Was Gregory-sama’s room different?”
“You mean our room?”
How should I say it. Just as we were thinking, Inspector Ver came out of the black room we had entered.
Unlike the first time I saw it, I had a haggard look. Glancing at us and the princess, he trudged toward the other side of the hallway.
“uh… … You look good.”
“It did. Wasn’t it, Rose?”
“yes? yes that’s right! Gregory-nim is just setting the mood… … ! uh?”
Rosé, smiling brightly, looks at me as if surprised.
“Gregory! Laugh now!”
Rosé laughs with a hehehe sound.
It was only for an hour, but seeing her smiling like this more than Rose, who didn’t smile, somehow made me feel at ease.
“Yes, it must have been an hour already.”
“hehehe, as expected, I like smiling more~”
As he was patting Rosé’s hair, he heard Amel’s voice, who was watching the scene.
“Everyone seems to be doing well. Instructor, can we go back to the academy now?”
“No, they will probably go to the Empire after cross-checking the investigation. If you finish reviewing there, you can go back.”
“yes? Then we… … .”
“Until then, it’s a break. Think of it as resting at the Imperial Academy.”
Hearing that, Rose’s expression brightened.
“Then you don’t have to go to class?!”
… … Was that good?
“… … Yeah, so just think of it as a few more days at the academy.”
“Wow!”
A rosé that I really like. And Priscilla, who was behind her, was looking at her like she was cute.
“Priscilla, do you mind?”
“Yes, because the knowledge learned at the academy was all learned at the imperial palace. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have to listen.”
After all, if you’re at the level of the princess, you’re saying that preparations are perfect.
I also felt good because I had to stay here and train Hercules and Gallier.
“Then, should I go to my room and rest? Instructor.”
The instructor nods at my question.
“Yeah, good job being investigated. Go to your room and rest. Amel, I want you to help me a little with the paperwork.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Are you planning to go back to the annex right away?”
“No, I have a place to stop with Rosé.”
“What about Priscilla?”
“I decided to go see my uncle, the president. It looks like they will move separately.”
“is it? i get it. Let each of you not get into an accident.”
Leaving only those words, the instructor leaves first with Amel. Next, Priscilla and Raphael rose from their seats.
“See you in a little while. Gregory. Rosé.”
“See you later baby~”
And the two of us left side by side in the hallway.
“uh… … . So Gregory! Where are we going now?”
Rosé asked, tilting her head as if she really didn’t know.
“You mean us? Well, I came all the way to the Imperial Academy, so let’s take a look.”
“yes?”
I laid out a board to spend time at the Imperial Academy like this, but shouldn’t I enjoy it properly?
“Then let’s go.”
“yes? Now, wait! let’s go together!”
The place we headed to was the swordsmanship class where Hercules and Gallier were taking classes.
It wasn’t hard to know where they were.
Most of the actual combat classes at the Imperial Academy are all conducted at the training ground, so you can go to the training ground. I just went to the training ground with the mindset that it was really just the two of them.
“Hmm, since you’re holding a sword, it must be time to learn swordsmanship.”
Far away with a wooden sword, Gallier was sitting and talking with Hercules.
Certainly, looking at his expression, which seemed more energetic than the day before, it seemed that his mindset had changed a little.
“Shall I go and help for a moment?”
“yes? Are you Gregory? We’re outsiders, so you won’t join us?”
“Yeah, in a normal way. Just follow me.”
“yes? Ah yes!”
When we walk away from the place where swordsmanship sparring is taking place, we walk towards the place where Gallier and Hercules are. The two look happy to see us.
And a man who covers his face.
“… … What are you? You don’t look like a student at the Imperial Academy.”
A man with a scar on his cheek. Apparently, this man was the instructor in charge of the class.
“These are students from the Summoners Academy to investigate. I came to see how classes at the Imperial Academy are conducted.”
First, a simple reason was given.
I just want to watch from the side.
Then, the scarred man frowned.
“You’re going to sneak across the Imperial Academy class? Are you proud to say that?”
He seemed to have a bad opinion of watching his class.
Well, maybe. If it’s a class you’re in charge of.
But, should we even bother with that?
“I received an answer from the Imperial Academy that there was no problem. Wouldn’t it be okay to listen to lectures next to you?”
However, I politely asked first. We were always in a position to take his classes.
However, it seemed that he had no intention of giving up his beliefs.
“I refuse.”
Yeah, I thought it would come out like that.
Then it’s simple, rather, we just have the other person ask us to take a class please.
“No way, I don’t want to show the bottom of the Imperial Academy to the Summoner Academy students. Is it like this?”
“… … what did you say?”
“Am I wrong? Why did we ask you to teach swordsmanship? You were the one who refused to just watch. In another sense, it must be that there is something that becomes a problem when we look at it. Wouldn’t it be obvious if that was the case? … … embarrassing place. is not it?”
A scarred man who begins to tremble. Extra hit here.
“Well, and there’s no reason to ask you to teach me swordsmanship.”
Saying that, I put my arm around the shoulder of Rose, who was standing next to me.
“This child’s teacher is Marvas.”
“What, what?!”
“Now, wait a minute. Gregory?”
Seeing the two flustered, I didn’t care and continued talking.
“Yes, it would certainly be embarrassing for a Marvas apprentice to see your class. Yes, I think it can. So, we back off. Rosé. let’s go.”
“yes? what, what… … ! This!”
As it is, they apply strength to the arm around Rose to turn it around, and then walk out of the training ground together.
One step, two steps, that’s when the third step came.
A scarred man’s voice came from behind.
“good night! I won’t allow you to listen! However, there are conditions!”
… … asked
“condition? I will listen.”
As I spoke without turning my body, I heard an urgent voice.
“I want to compete with that Sword Saint, a disciple of Marvas, and my disciple!”
Does it come out that way too?
“Good.”
“yes? Hey, Gregory! Isn’t that too sudden! We must have come to see Gallier and Hercules-sama—”
“It’s a sparring with the Imperial Academy students. It will be of great help to you too. And even though you’re doing sparring, I won’t be able to stop you from attending other sparring classes.”
“Ugh… … . do too much really.”
Perhaps because of the sudden sparring, Rose put air in her cheeks and glared at me.
… … Are you pissed
And since ancient times, there has been a way when rosé is pouting.
“I’ll give you a prize.”
“… … yes?”
“If you win, I will give you a prize. How are you?”
At my question, Rose closed her eyes. He probably seemed worried.
“… … What would you like?”
I asked for bait.
“well. Wouldn’t it be fun if you let me know in advance? I’ll let you know after I win.”
“… … You really give.”
“of course.”
“great. I will!”
“I promise. It will be a good experience.”
Fighting with other academy students has always been a great help to Rosé.
As it was, we turned around and looked at the scarred man.
“good night. accept that offer However, keep in mind that my summoner is a first year student.”
“of course! Let us also send out the first year. When are you going to do sparring?”
“First of all, I think our summoner should warm up too. Please wait 10 minutes.”
Having said that, we casually intervened among the Imperial Academy students and walked to the place where Gallier and Hercules were.
“Ro, Roger! And even Gregory! How is it… … !”

Gallier looks at us and asks. He seemed quite surprised to see us suddenly appearing in the middle of class.
“I came to check that you are doing well. and… … Hercules. Did you also use a sword?”
Saying that, he looked at Hercules, who stood majestically behind Gallier, and he thumped his chest and laughed out loud.
“ha ha ha! I, too, have had a love for swords since the old days. And thanks to Gallier, I was able to learn the sword like this!”
And then it’s like sitting in the arena.
“Galli. From the looks of it, it looks like you haven’t had sparring yet. How are you usually doing?”
“uh… … . normally… … I’m just getting the sword.”
“You’re just going to hit me with a sword? Could it be because of that retaliation?”
“Yes, there are things like that… … The opponent is too strong.”
“Is the opponent strong? Gallier. Are you always sparring against strong opponents?”
To Rose, who was tilting her head, Gallier pointed to a boy in the corner who was laughing out loud surrounded by other guys.
“That guy is the one who uses the sword the best in our class. The other guys refuse to fight because they don’t want to be beaten by him… … In the end, that’s always how I deal with them.”
“… Won’t the instructor intervene?”
“Rather, the instructor likes it. They say that you have to fight against a high-ranking opponent to improve your skills.”
I understand the situation roughly.
In fact, the guys Galier was pointing at were glancing at us.
It seemed that he was concerned that we and Gallier, who were from different academies, were talking as if they were friendly.
There’s a high probability that you’ll have a sparring match with that guy.
Here, I needed to clearly show what it would be like if I touched my person.
“Rosé.”
“yes!”
“After a while, in Dalian, imprint Gregory’s fear on the opponent.”
“… … yes!”
Let’s check how good the swordsmanship of the Imperial Academy is.
