The Genius at the Swordsmanship Academy chapter 52

52 Episodes Outside Activities (1)

We won the match.

Then it is normal for the defeated side to listen to our demands.

“What do you want?”

Claude, who shook my hand, asked in a hard voice.

“I tell you, I cannot issue you a certificate of completion right now. It’s the authority of my advisor, Professor Yols, so we can’t afford any convenience in that area.”

“There is no need for that.”

A trainee who has passed the second test will receive a certificate of completion after completing the training in each class.

If you secure 4 or more certificates, you will be eligible to take the 3rd exam.

It is similar to having to take several courses at a real-world university to receive more than a certain amount of credits.

“I came here because I wanted to be properly taught in the Yols class, but that doesn’t make any sense.”

“Then what do you want?”

Matthew asked with a nervous expression.

“There is not much we can do for the trainees.”

“Still, it would be possible to adjust the content of the education.”

“… … ?”

“I think the obvious basic training or theory lectures are a waste of time.”

Having said that, he looked at Heinrich and nodded as if in agreement.

“Professor Yols directs the time, but we can’t help it, but I would like you to arrange other education.”

“That means… Are you saying you don’t want to get an education from us?”

Matthew asked with a hard expression on his face.

“It’s not like that.”

“Then what do you mean?”

In front of the assistant professors who looked like they had no idea, I said in a calm voice.

“I would like to receive training focusing on external practice.”

During the Black 6th grade, student movement was strictly controlled.

Occasionally, I only traveled by boat to the training site.

However, things change after passing the second test.

This is because, if it becomes a gradient that can fly around, restrictions on movement become meaningless.

Of course, leaving the academy without permission is still prohibited.

‘The trainees who pass the second exam often go out of the academy.’

As President Aldbout emphasized during the second examination, the academy is trying to nurture graduates who can fight in the real world.

It is necessary to experience the actual battle outside the academy because there is a limit to only conducting mock battles inside the academy.

This is mainly done in the form of participating in activities outside of each class.

“First, let’s go over the basics.”

In front of me and Heinrich, Claude said, scratching his curly hair.

“The academy exists to teach your students, but education is not the only job of the academy. Contributing to the stability of the empire through outside activities is also the academy’s job.”

Saying so, Claude pointed to the map hanging on the wall.

“The western part of the Empire, where the Academy is located, is not secure. It is the area with the strongest magic power, and there are many monsters. Outside the sphere of power of a prestigious family like the Lancaster family, it is like a lawless zone.”

“… … .”

“That’s why the academy puts in gradient and solves it. Wherever monsters appeared or where magicians appeared, when news like that came out, each class of the academy moved and subjugated.”

These activities are mainly conducted on a class basis.

The performance of subjugation becomes the performance of the class and the achievement of the professors.

“And students can also participate in this subjugation mission. In the name of making them grow as a graduate by giving them a hands-on experience.”

After explaining that, Claude sighed.

“But getting students involved is a bit of a burden. If a student is seriously injured or dies, the class is responsible.”

“… … .”

“so… If you guys want to receive training mainly from outside practice, it’s bound to be a burden for us. As you can see, there are only me and Matthews in the Yols class right now.”

There are still only two assistant professors in the Yoles class.

Even the instructors haven’t been hired yet.

“If there is a dangerous situation outside, we cannot properly protect you.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

I opened my mouth slowly.

“We can protect our bodies.”

“Ernas… … .”

“Heinrich must have felt the same way.”

Saying so, I looked at Heinrich.

“Don’t represent me arbitrarily, Ernas.”

After shooting in a sharp voice, Heinrich said to Claude.

“I agree with Ernas. I would like to receive training focusing on external practice.”

“Heinrich… … .”

“If we get seriously injured during an outside practice, it is our responsibility, not the assistant professors’ responsibility. If necessary, I will write an oath.”

“No, I don’t need that.”

Claude sighed and looked at Matthew.

“Matheus, what do you think?”

“If those guys say things like that, they will have no choice but to do whatever they want.”

Matthews said in a hard voice.

“Anyway, we are a new class, so we need to improve our performance quickly. That way we can secure the budget and staff.”

“It is, but… … .”

“Ernas and Heinrich both have excellent skills. With the help of these guys, we will be able to carry out the burdensome subjugation mission alone.”

“Uh… … .”

“Make a specific plan and get it approved by Professor Yols. Professor Yolls also came to this stage after experiencing a rough fight in the West, so you won’t be against it.”

After saying that, Matthews looked at us.

“Hernas, Heinrich, we will not regard you as objects of protection. Don’t let them treat you as one person’s gradient. Are you okay?”

“This is what we want.”

“good night. Then let me make an appointment right away.”

With this, I was able to skip basic training and theory lectures that I did not need.

If you gain practical experience through external practice… You will be able to grow faster.

“Are you already going to external training?”

Berrys Rize, who met on the stairs of the dormitory, frowned upon hearing my story.

“Is Yoles Class insane? To take them to an outside practice right from the start.”

“I asked for it. I wanted to gain practical experience quickly.”

“Even though… … .”

Berrisrise visited the Valentiano class on the first day.

Since the Valentiano class boasts the most systematic curriculum, we do not conduct external practice from the beginning.

I will only take you outside after determining that you have the basic knowledge as a graduate.

“You and Heinrich, it seems that your life is not worth it.”

“We will take care of our bodies, so don’t worry.”

“Do you think I’m too easy on you?”

Berrys Rize crossed her arms and looked at me.

“You seem to only think of monsters and mages, but they are not the only ones who threaten your life.”

“… … .”

“It’s pathetic that you don’t even know where you are.”

It was easy to see what Berrys Rize was talking about.

Now I am at the forefront of competition within the academy.

This means that there is a high possibility that other master swordsmen who are aiming for the position of Archduke Lichtenauer will aim for my life.

“Dangerous things happen even inside the academy.

“Thanks for your concern, Berrys Rize.”

“Who, who said you were worried?”

Berrys Rize blushed in anger.

“I wasn’t worried, I was just laughing at you for being pathetic!”

“Anyway, thanks for the advice.”

“I didn’t even advise you! I just… … !”

“anyway.”

Interrupting Berrisrisee’s words, I said calmly.

“Don’t worry. If an assassin approaches during the mission, we can respond sufficiently.”

“Wait, are you serious?”

Berrys Rize gave an absurd expression.

“Well, if one or two ordinary assassins attack you, you might be able to deal with it. But what if several people rush in? What if I narrow the siege while hiding?”

“In that case, it would be a little difficult.”

Last time, Henry Lancaster sent only one Raziel because he thought I was still an inexperienced kid.

Now that I have already passed the second test, an assassin of that level will no longer come to kill me.

As Beris Rize said, there is a high possibility that they will attack me as a group.

“But, I can respond.”

“Where the hell did that confidence come from… … .”

It wasn’t an unfounded confidence.

Today I… Because I learned a new ability from Claude.

— Provisional Acquisition —

[Partizan Judgment Swordsmanship (S Rank)]

[Balahail Heavy Swordsmanship (Rank A)]

[Calecius Spear Swordsmanship (Rank C)]

[Liechtenauer Divine Magic (Rank A)]

[Atilion Magical Detecting (Rank A)]

— Permanent Attribution —

[Eastern Magic Magic Technique (Rank A)]

Attilion’s magic detection technique.

It is a technique of ‘finding’ the possessor of nearby magic by emitting weak magic.

Unlike the hunting technique of Aurius obtained from Viola in the past, it uses magical power to search for enemies.

Since I can detect the Graduates near me, I can detect those approaching to attack me in advance.

‘It’s not just this.’

I am not confident with my Attilion magic detection technique alone.

I don’t know what kind of guys are trying to kill me… I already knew.

“Things aren’t going right.”

Theodora Waldfeld frowned.

Now she was checking the news from the Academy.

“The magician’s Carlyle did not injure Ernas, and the instructors we planted were also captured one after another… … .”

“sorry. I think I underestimated Ernas’ ability too much.”

It was Mohad, her entourage, who bowed in front of Theodora.

He came from a family that served the Waldfelds from generation to generation and did bad things, and now he is an assistant to Theodora.

“Mohad, the Academy won’t even hold me accountable, right?”

“That part was definitely taken care of. It will end with the instructors acting out of personal resentment against the Landssteins.”

“Yeah, I see.”

This incident should not damage the Waldfeld family.

It’s clear from the outset that the tail clipping can be done, so it won’t be revealed that Theodora is behind it.

“But it has become difficult to help Gort inside the academy.”

“that… It is unavoidable.”

“Anyway, that guy failed the second test, so he’s lagging behind the others.”

With the exception of Lester, who had already been expelled from school, Gort was the only one who was eliminated from among the six great swordsmiths.

It’s a frustrating situation for Theodora, Gort’s aunt and teacher, but it can’t be helped because it has already happened.

“I can’t. From now on, I have to move outside.”

“If outside… Are you saying that you will wait for Master Gort to come out of the training?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

Theodora shook her head and said.

“When Ernas comes out of the academy for external training, that’s when the assassins are sent.”

“then… … !”

“Looking at how he reacted this time, he seemed like a formidable guy. It must be dealt with for sure.”

Saying so, Theodora clasped her hands.

“Call the assassins. There is no need to save money.”

“I see, Theodora-sama!”

“Even if you do this, if you can’t deal with him… … .”

At that moment, Theodora’s eyes shone sharply.

“I will go on my own.”

Theodora Waldfeld.

The second-in-command of the Waldfeld family revealed his murderous intentions towards Ernas Landsstein.
