Episode 17.
A new semester has arrived.
“Fried, let’s listen to the lecture together this time.”
“Then, would you like to listen to Sword Saint-nim’s lecture together?”
“uh… hmm… .”
Only those with excellent grades could listen to the swordsman’s lecture.
Of course, I am one of the top 5 students in the swordsmanship department.
but… .
“I learn from Sword Saint-nim every day, so wouldn’t it be necessary to even listen to the lecture?”
“is it… Then I should listen to Sword Saint-nim’s lecture by myself.”
I felt something creepy.
my senses are telling me
‘It’ll be a big deal if you don’t listen to the swordsman lecture.’
“No, I also want to listen to Sword Saint-nim’s lecture.”
“right! Of course you should.”
Except for the lecture of the Sword Master, I roughly chose the lecture.
To be honest, I personally have nothing to learn.
“Because I have no intention of becoming a knight, pursuing learning, or becoming a noble. The only thing I can learn from is Professor Azar.”
As a senior mercenary, he will tell you a lot.
Although I am interested in swordsmanship,
He was being taught by the swordsman separately, so he didn’t need to learn from anyone else.
“By the way, what are the two books Ea-senpai got?”
Shall I ask you to show me just one more time?
Ownership was conceded to Ea, but isn’t it something that can be shown at least once?
“Actually, I was always curious about it even during the tour.”
Maybe something related to regression was written.
“What are you muttering to yourself like that?”
Fried shook me.
Come to think of it, I’m still deciding on the lecture.
“I have something to think about.”
“Anyway, let’s say I’m listening to Sword Saint-nim’s lecture, what do you want to do with the rest?”
“I’m fine with anything.”
for a moment.
I forgot one person.
I told Fried to wait and left the room.
smart.
I stood in front of Moredt’s door and knocked.
The door opened quickly.
Moredt looked angry.
“How can you go on a trip and never come to see me?”
I need to correct it. Moredt was angry.
“sorry. I’m out of my mind Still, I came to have a lecture with you.”
“That’s a good idea.”
Moredt showed the lecture of his choice.
Among them was the lecture of the Sword Master.
“Do you also listen to Sword Saint-nim’s lecture?”
“If you have good grades, you should listen to it at least once. What a swordsman.”
“is it?”
I wrote down the lecture Moredt was going to listen to and went back to my room.
“I’ve been taking some of my friend’s lectures.”
“what?”
Fried was startled.
Is it that surprising that I have friends?
“Why is it strange that I have friends?”
“of course. You don’t socialize at all.”
“that… … .”
yes.
He worked as a mercenary on the weekends, and on weekdays, he focused on lectures and received training as a swordsman, so he had no time for social activities.
“I just couldn’t socialize because I didn’t have time.”
“You say you don’t have time, but you meet people well.”
I smiled shyly.
“I’m sure you’ll meet people who will become kites somehow.”
“So, who is that friend?”
“Moredt. Moredt of the Faust family.”
At the word Faust, Fried seemed quite surprised.
“Are you talking about the Duke Faust family I know?”
“maybe? The only family in our kingdom named Faust must be the ducal family.”
“You are crazy.”
I think it’s normal enough. I remembered a person I knew.
When I thought about it for a second, it wasn’t normal.
“Oh, come to think of it, I’m crazy about connections.”
“Sword Saint-sama, the son of the Faust family, and even the Empress of the Six Sections… .”
Hearing it from someone else’s mouth, I had no choice but to admit it.
The connections are crazy.
“You must have saved a country in your previous life.”
“I wonder… ?”
no.
It’s not a previous life, but before returning, he died while working.
“Anyway, let’s quickly decide on a lecture.”
“Yes, yes, the editorial was too long.”
I tailored the lecture to Moredt and Fried as much as possible.
This allowed me to avoid the sad situation of listening to a lecture alone.
“Come to think of it, did you, Fried, have excellent grades?”
“How do you see me? Better than I thought.”
It was unexpected. Because of the different years, I hadn’t heard much about Fried.
The lectures were all fixed, so it was Fried who left heartlessly.
“I have to go see the swordsman.”
Should I report
First of all, it is necessary to say that I decided to listen to the lecture of the Sword Saint.
I went to the garden, a place where the sword castle might be.
“Sword Saint!”
Fortunately, the swordsman was in the garden.
From nob le mt l. co m
Now, to be honest, I wondered if there was a house where the swordsman lived. It’s because every time I go to the garden.
“Why are you here already? We still have time to train.”
I am training today. I didn’t hear that
Apparently, the swordsman was planning to train even on the first day of school.
“I came to tell you that I am listening to Sword Saint-nim’s lecture.”
“Good job.”
It was an unexpected answer.
If it was the Sword Saint, he would surely say something like this.
-I see it every day, so why are you even taking lectures!
“How would you feel if I hadn’t listened to Sword Saint-nim’s lecture?”
“What, you didn’t hear?”
“It’s not that I didn’t hear it, it’s just if.”
The swordsman rested his chin on his chin and was lost in thought.
“Well, it probably didn’t matter.”
It was a grinning swordsman.
However, that smile was frighteningly cold.
I really enjoyed listening to the lecture.
“Now, on a lecture day, I can watch it all day.”
“Don’t make me suffer all day.”
“Ah, but the capacity of the river is 40 people. Wouldn’t it be hard for you to only care about me?”
The swordsman put his hand on my shoulder.
“Will I notice the students?”
The swordsman gave strength to his hand.
The pain came as if my shoulder was being squeezed.
Tears came out without me knowing.
‘Why are you suddenly squeezing my shoulders!’
When the swordsman relaxed his hand,
The pain in my shoulder is gone.
“See you in class.”
I found out the identity of the sudden pain.
I could smell the faint smell of alcohol from the Sword Saint going somewhere with my back to me.
‘Did you take out your anger on me because of the hangover?’
My guess is that it’s almost correct.
If it was a swordsman, he would be a good enough person.
“I thought I’d take a look since you’re my dad’s close friend.”
The grudge against the Sword Saint is gradually building up.
I’m thinking of getting it right someday.
It’s just that someday, when I become a sword master.
“Let’s see.”
The swordsman suddenly turned around.
I was surprised but hid it.
Blowing a whistle, he went out of the garden.
“Anyway, he’s very quick to notice.”
I made a lecture and also reported it to the Sword Saint.
There is only one thing to do now.
solving my curiosity.
“Are you in the club room?”
I decided to find Ea to check the two books Ea had.
If it’s just to see, Ea will show me enough.
Aren’t Ea and I members of the same club?
“You just don’t have to ask for it.”
My steps toward the club room were infinitely lighter, on a different level than when I went to meet the Sword Saint.
Ea was in the club room.
“what are you doing?”
“I’m reading the book I got from the ruins, but the ancient characters are a bit difficult.”
It’s a book written in ancient letters. Credibility will be high.
I wanted to read it once, but I don’t know how to read ancient characters.
“What is it about?”
“It looks like it has ancient magic written on it, and it looks like it has ancient curses written on it too.”
“If it’s a curse, it must be the book you want.”
“I think you have to read everything first to know.”
I decided to ask just in case.
“Is there anything like an ancient magic that turns back time?”
“How about turning back time?”
“that… Like regression, for example.”
Is it too direct?
“Suhar, do you have any regrets?”
I am living a life without regrets now.
“no. I’m just curious.”
“I haven’t heard of it yet, and it hasn’t even appeared in the books yet.”
“If not yet?”
“I haven’t read all of them either, so I’ll let you know if anything comes out.”
“thank you!”
When I left the club room, the warm sunlight greeted me.
The moment I part with this sunshine, I have to go to the swordsman.
“Your teeth are shaking at the thought of training after a long time.”
Every day with bruises will start again.
At least, if there is anything different from before, it is that there is a possibility that it will also be suitable for lectures.
“Ah, but I won’t hit you in front of others.”
It was unfounded, but I decided to believe it once.
Of course, the swordsman is the one who breaks expectations every time he makes such baseless remarks.
“ah… I hate going to the academy.”
got enough to get
I’m not aiming for the top spot. Learning about the Sword Saint wasn’t too painful.
Even if he had the skills of a gold or diamond mercenary, there was no problem in living.
“What is Jacob trying to do?”
The Jacob I’ve seen will withstand the arduous training of the Knights.

Now is not the time to worry about others.
“Should I really fall asleep?”
I said it without thinking, but I think it’s a better idea than I thought.
I will go to sleep before graduating from the academy.
“Doesn’t that sound like a great idea?”
I will go to a place where no one can find me and work as a mercenary to earn money.
And to make an excuse to return to a family later, and return to the Caldert family.
“Perfect!”
However, the time to run away is after giving the swordsman a shot before graduation.
Shouldn’t he have to take some revenge for what he has received so far?
***
woke up earlier than usual
There was still plenty of time until the lecture, but I didn’t fall asleep again.
“That’s right, it’s Geomseongnim’s first lecture.”
Others may be late. I shouldn’t be late.
If I am late, a punishment different from that of others will await.
I organized my clothes with the thought of having a godly heart.
“Cleaner than usual.”
It was the perfect outfit for the swordsman’s first lecture.
“From neat clothes to neat appearance!”
Even the face was neatly tidied up.
From nob le mt l. co m
Now all that remains is to wait for the lecture time.
My legs trembled with excitement.
“My dear, why is the time not passing? Should I just go ahead and wait?”
However, it was a waste of time to go first and wait for some reason.
It seems like a lot of time has passed, but there is still plenty of time left before the lecture.
smart smart
An urgent knock was heard from outside the room.
“Hey, Suhar! Enter!”
Fried came in sweaty.
Then he saw me sitting on the bed with a puzzled expression.
“Uh, Fried, why are you here so early?”
“Early what? What the hell are you doing when you don’t come out to lecture with all your clothes on?”
“What are you talking about?”
Fried’s gaze turned to the watch I was looking at.
“Your watch is broken.”
“what… ?”
“Your watch is broken. I came because Sword Saint asked me to come pick you up.”
Goosebumps sprouted. I was confused, but one thing was certain.
‘I’m dead… .’
I overcame Fried, who had come to pick me up, and ran to the classroom of the sword castle with all my might.
When I arrived at the lecture hall, the Sword Saint greeted me with a smile.
“The last student has arrived.”
However, that smile was as cold as frost.
“sorry! My watch is broken.”
“You are the first.”
“What is it that I am the first… ?”
“You are the first person to be late for my lecture. You have a glorious beginning.”
I looked around the classroom. Everyone had serious faces.
