The Genius at the Swordsmanship Academy chapter 109

109 episode 6 sword meeting (3)

The table was smashed.

It was evidence that Clause had lost his temper and swung his fists.

“Hey, Ernas!”

Before Klauwice, Calleon opened his mouth.

“What do you mean? Did Klauwice induce Mikhail Waldfeld’s invasion of the West? And ask the Blood Sword Presbytery to kill you in return for the information from the Six Swords Conference?”

Caleon’s tone grew more intense.

“Are you saying that for a reason? Explain!”

“Ernas.”

Brantley as well as Calleon stared at me and pushed me.

“Tell me more. If you are talking without any basis, you cannot just skip it.”

“Among the attendants that Klauvice-sama brought today, there must be a woman named Lucletia.”

“Lucletia?”

“disguise… No, I am a master of transformation. She approached Mikhail Waldfeld in secret and seduced her.”

Saying that, I turned my gaze to Chaldeas.

“Chaldeas Officer, isn’t there a person named Lucletia on the list?”

“Wait. Lucletia… Oh, I am among Klauwice-sama’s attendants.”

After checking the documents and answering Chaldeas, I could hear the sounds of breathing in here and there.

For reference, I used Attilion’s magic detection technique to confirm that Lucletia was nearby.

“Sir Brantley, I heard that House Agrippa has the ability to examine the hearts of mana by injecting magical energy into the opponent’s body.”

“You know, too. Heinrich could never have told you.”

“If you look at Luclezia’s mana heart with that skill, you’ll see that it has accumulated magical power through unholy means.”

“Is this the way of the Black Heavenly Demonism?”

“It will not be. However, we can confirm that he is a person well versed in ancient secret arts.”

“i get it.”

Brantley nodded and turned his gaze to Chaldeas.

“Secretary of Chaldeas, bring that man named Lucletia here… … .”

“for a moment!”

At that moment, Klauwice raised her voice.

“I don’t know why you are responding to Ernas’ nonsense.”

“Klauwice… … .”

“Luclezia used ancient occult magic to accumulate magical power? Why does that prove that I was behind the scenes control of Mikhail’s invasion of the West?”

Klauwice gave me a strong gaze.

“Ernas, don’t admit that I have a disrespectful person as my entourage. But to that extent, every family is doing it… … .”

“You seem to have misunderstood, Klauwice-sama.”

“what?”

“Investigating Lucletia’s Mana Heart is to confirm that she is a suspicious person. Only then can we properly verify it.”

“verification?”

“It is said that some of the vassals of the Northern Waldfeld family made similar attempts. Against an unidentified monk who approached Mikhail Waldfeld.”

“… … !”

“The accuracy of the technique will be lower than that of the Agrippa family, but… If you ask that person to verify Lucletia, you will be able to verify that he has the same mana heart.”

Actually, this is a lie.

No one in the Waldfeld family made such an attempt.

At least I never mentioned that in a novel.

But I was able to bluff like this because I knew they were the same person.

“What nonsense!”

As expected, Klauwice reacted.

“How can you believe such a thing! Maybe you wrote a number in the middle!”

“Are you refusing to verify?”

“This verification is not verification! Unacceptable!”

“That’s right.”

I looked around and said.

“Caleon, Brantley, what do you think? Klauwice-sama refuses to verify.”

“Hmm, this is a bit… … .”

“Klauwice, if there are no problems, it should be verified.”

Calleon patted his chin, his tail twitched, and Brantley looked at Klauwice coldly.

“If you prove your innocence, you can drive Ernas down. Why do you refuse?”

“Send your aides to the North to counter Ernas’ one-sided claim? I can’t do that! If you accept all these things, there will be no limits!”

“Hmm… … .”

There was some truth to Klauwice’s words.

However, I kept pushing him because I knew that Klauvice was a black screen.

“Klauwice-sama, then, please call Lucletia over here. After Brantley examines Mana Hart, I will interrogate him.”

“hearing?”

“Yes, I have something to check.”

“… … .”

Klauwice gave a thoughtful expression for a moment.

He was concerned that he might be presented with a decisive basis for building Lucletia here as requested.

“You are hesitant. If you were really innocent, you wouldn’t need it at all.”

“Ernas Landsstein, you bastard… … !”

“If not, bring them here. And all you have to do is give Luclezia the order to answer everything truthfully.”

“ね… … .”

Klauwice slowly looked around.

Just Bastian and Oleana Clarion, as well as Calleon and Brantley, were looking at Klauwice suspiciously.

“I will refuse. Lucletia is my henchman and knows many secrets. It is unacceptable to be interrogated in front of a large number of people, as they may reveal themselves without knowing it.”

“That’s right. I understand Klauwice-sama’s position very well.”

The gaze of the people around him became even colder.

I spoke to them again.

“As you can see, Klauwice refused to verify. I want each of you to think about what this means.”

“Ernas Landsstein… … !”

Klauwice stared at me with lively eyes, but I didn’t pay any attention to it.

“You’re probably wondering what I said the second time around.”

“Yeah, yes.”

Caleon nodded.

“Is it true that Klauvice commissioned the Blood Sword Presbytery to assassinate you? The fact that you decided to hand over the information from the Six Swords Meeting in return?”

“The decision to hand over information from the Six Swords Conference is my guess. but… … .”

I said as I stared at the wall on one side of the conference hall.

“Beyond the wall, there is an attendant that Klauvice-sama brought. He appears to be an ‘elder-level’ assassin of the Blood Sword Presbyterian Church, but he seems to be eavesdropping on the contents of the meeting.”

“… … !”

Hearing that, Caleon jumped up from his seat.

I tried to blow the wall away with my sword, but I raised my hand and stopped it.

“He overheard my remarks and left. It would be meaningless to come and break through the wall now.”

“Is that so?”

“Ernas… … !”

Klauvice looked at me and shouted.

“You are lying! If there really was an assassin of the Blood Sword Presbytery there, they should have attacked it first and subdued it! Unless you have done so, your words are mere lies!”

“If that’s an elder-level assassin of the Blood Sword Presbytery, my attacks won’t work, Klauwice-sama.”

With that in mind, I spoke to Chaldeas.

“Chaldeas sergeant, please go outside and check where the attendants of each family have been before. Perhaps one of Klauvice-sama’s entourage is unknown.”

“Ah, that’s for sure… … .”

“You’re playing tricks again!”

Klauwice raised his voice again.

“Are you plotting to get together and frame me? Don’t fall for that trap! At first… … .”

“No, Klauwice-sama.”

At that time, Just Bastian, Serine’s father, cut off Klauwice’s words.

“From now on, you are rejecting all verifications called verification. What is it that bothers you so much?”

“Marquis Bastian, do not intervene!”

“If you’re really innocent, shouldn’t you be obliged to testify? I understand the distrust of Ernas-sama, but it’s too unnatural.”

“ね… … !”

Klauwice would also know that his attitude was unnatural.

But from the point of view of Clause, there is no choice but to do this.

Because I have no idea how I got through his conspiracies.

‘You would think that it is better to reject the verification itself than to give in to the verification without clear evidence.’

In fact, I have no clear evidence to prove Klauwice’s conspiracy.

The reason I can point out what kind of conspiracy Klauwice has plotted is because I know all the deeds in the novel.

Attilion, who has grown to S-Rank, looks around and pretends to see everything… Klauwice has no choice but to come out defensively like this.

“Everyone, there is nothing I can do if Klauwice-sama refuses like that.”

I said with a sad expression on my face.

“It is impossible to force the head of the Shreière family to comply with the inspection.”

“… … .”

No one here has the authority to give Klauwice such an order.

However… Refusing to be verified, Klauwice became suspicious of everyone.

“Klauwice, get your attitude straight!”

In the end, Calleon raised his eyes and glared at Klauwice.

“Your attitude today is definitely suspicious! Could it be that Ernas’s claim is true?!”

“No, Caleon!”

“If you’re innocent, shouldn’t you just respond to the verification? Why are you so refusing?!”

“If you respond to each of these indiscriminate slander, there is no limit! And the possibility that Ernas was involved in the verification process should also be taken into account!”

“Do you think you can convince me with those words?!”

As expected, Calleon was furious and questioned Klauwice.

Meanwhile, Brantley was staring at Klauwice with cold eyes, her mouth shut.

Receiving the gazes of the two people with distrust, Klauwice had a frustrated expression on her face that she was going crazy.

“then… What would you like to do?”

Chaldeas asked us.

“As Ernas-sama said earlier… Should it be decided by majority vote?”

“… … !”

Klauwice raised her eyes.

What I was talking about earlier was to designate Klauwice, who is trying to disrupt the imperial society, as an imperial achievement.

If this proposal passes by a majority vote, Klauwice is truly a public enemy.

‘It’s an official meeting of the 6th family, held with the cooperation of the Ministry of the Interior. Ignoring the decisions made here is tantamount to denying the entire order of the Empire.’

Of course, it is unlikely that Klauwice will be recognized as a public figure in the Empire just by actually voting.

This is because there is no clear evidence presented.

A proposal would need at least four people to vote for it to pass, which, frankly, is unlikely.

‘But Klauwice… You will not accept the vote.’

I know Klauwice’s personality well.

Klauwice is unwilling to take risks. It is the nature of reducing the risk to a minimum.

Conspiracy by moving other people without going out on your own, or refusing verification itself until recently… This is to eliminate risk factors as much as possible.

“Such a vote is unacceptable.”

“Klauwice… … !”

As expected, Klauwice did not gamble.

“It is insulting to be the subject of such a vote. If you really want to vote like that and drive me into a majority vote… … .”

Klauvice said as he grinded his teeth.

“I am leaving this meeting. Let the six-sword conference proceed without me.”

“Klauwice, you bastard… … !”

Calleon raised his voice and tried to run towards Klauwice, but I raised a hand to stop him.

“Klauwice, are you serious?”

“If this was the Six Swords meeting you promoted in the first place, there was no reason for me to attend. What is the meaning of the Six Swords meeting, which was not promoted by Perfectio, but by the deputy governor of Gaju, who was only a student.”

“You say that, but… … .”

I exhaled coldly.

“Don’t you want to leave as soon as possible because staying here is dangerous if conclusive evidence is presented?”

“Ernas, you bastard… … .”

Klauvice stared at me with eyes full of life.

“Be grateful that you don’t draw your sword and strike your neck right now. If it were just the two of us, I would have killed you without hesitation.”

“You’re talking too hard.”

“I mean it sincerely.”

If Klauwice can’t control her emotions and rushes here, Caleon and Brantley will rush and stop them at the same time.

Knowing that, even Klauwice couldn’t draw a sword.

“Then I will go. If you want to have a meeting between you guys, do whatever you want.”

“… … .”

“The meeting of the six swords that took place without me, the representative of the Shreière family… It means nothing, though.”

As the saying goes, it is useless to continue the meeting without Klauwice.

The Six Swords Conference is meaningful because it is a meeting of the six great swordsmiths of the Empire, but the meaning fades when the Shreière family leaves.

“Hey, Klauvice! If you come out like that… … .”

“Klauwice.”

Calleon tried to say something to Klauwice, but Brantley opened his mouth and interrupted Calleon.

“If you leave here with this attitude, I will never be able to cooperate with you again.”

“… … .”

“Keep that in mind.”

Klauwice did not respond.

I just left the meeting room with footsteps filled with displeasure.

Looking at the back, Calleon frowned, and Brantley bit his lip.

‘With this… The three of us will never hold hands again.’

The main purpose of the Six Swords meeting this time was to instill distrust in Klauwice in Calleon and Brantley.

As Brantley just said, they will never be united now.

‘so… Even if I fight Klauwice, they will not help Klauwice.’

Klauwice is terrified.

Now, the only way left for him is to wage an all-out war with me.

‘Klauwice, it is no longer possible to hide behind other people and do secrets.’

Another reason for holding this 6 swords meeting.

It was to clarify the antagonistic relationship between me and Klauwice.

Since I’ve crashed like this, Klauvice has to step out and hit me.

And if Klauwice came out like that… I also have a cause to get rid of Klauwice.

‘I’ll deal with you, Klauwice.’

Now Klauwice is in a corner.

What kind of action will Klauwice take in this state… I was predictable enough.

* * *

“Klauwice, how did this happen… … .”

“sorry. I hope that Ernas will be able to detect my presence… … .”

“noisy!”

As he started the carriage, Klauwice let out a harsh voice.

He avoided being rushed into the Empire’s public domain by providing decisive evidence from Ernas, but it was never a good situation.

‘Damn, if this happens… … !’

A collaboration between Caleon and Brantley is not expected.

Looking at Chaldeas’ attitude, it seems that the inside of the palace will also be suspicious of Klauwice.

if it goes like this… There is no future for the Schreier family.

“Elder Harpesion.”

“Ah yes.”

“I want you to complete my request as soon as possible.”

“yes? what is that… … .”

bang!

Klauwice shouted as he hit the wagon wall.

“I mean, kill Ernas today! Because I know you’ve been hiding your men around!”

“… … !”

When it was pointed out that the terminal assassins were following him in hiding, Harpesion swallowed his breath.

“Aim for Ernas to leave the conference room and return to the academy alone! You must kill me today!”

Klauwice grinded his teeth.

After this, there is only one way to choose.

Starting with Ernas, after erasing all the stumbling blocks… The Shreière family had no choice but to stand at the apex alone.
