I don’t know.
I still didn’t believe in myself.
But, for a moment, I felt desperate.
He said he didn’t want to look embarrassed in front of the eyes that believed in him.
‘I’ll do it!’
Moment.
Without being conscious of it, Catherine’s will was imbued with the wooden sword.
Gwangryong’s eyes, who had been watching the duel indifferently, grew wide as if they were torn apart.
Kwasik!
Julia’s wooden sword was broken in two.
* * *
“W-what?”
The hall was immersed in silence.
“Something is wrong with this! “How can this be?!”
“If you don’t believe me, try again.”
“!!”
Julia gritted her teeth.
Goooooh.
Unlike before, my momentum became infinitely sharper.
‘They’re completely determined to target the blind spots of weapon breaking.’
On the other hand, Catherine was extremely sloppy.
A sloppy posture that clearly shows that one is illiterate in swordsmanship.
However, one look in his eyes was extremely intense.
From Noble mtl dot com
The determination to never give up.
‘It’s the will of a hero.’
actually.
This duel was a fraud.
Two top pearl artificial.
The saint of light.
The one who will save humanity.
Because that was Catherine.
Even if Yulia was a named villain, there was no way they could be compared.
indeed.
Flash! Wow!
What was broken this time was Julia’s wooden sword.
“… … .”
Julia’s face changed into confusion.
An expression of complete disbelief.
“This, this… okay! Catherine, you tampered with my wooden sword in advance! Otherwise it doesn’t make sense!”
“stop.”
Gwangryong intervened.
She looked at Catherine and me with shocked eyes and shook her head.
“It has no meaning anymore. “This game is our loss.”
“But, Master!”
“I told you to stop.”
Julia kept her mouth shut with an aggrieved look on her face.
Afterwards, Gwangryong stared at Catherine for a long time.
“Did you say he was a child from a famous magic family?”
“… That’s right.”
“No way, such a rotten family had such a gemstone. No, it’s not at a level where I can express it with just those words. Are all magic masters blind? “Ban, how did you recognize this child?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I will show you my qualities. Will you acknowledge my abilities as a teacher?”
Gwangryong frowned.
I can’t help but accept it.
“… “Are you going to hand over Julia’s right to education?”
“Don’t worry. At least, it will be a lot better than it is now. “Wasn’t the Lord secretly concerned about Julia’s growth?”
“… … .”
Gwangryong kept his mouth shut.
It was recognition.
Because of his rough temperament, he is called a crazy dragon, but in reality, he is not someone who cannot tell the difference.
“… “Julia, please take Professor Ban’s teachings from now on.”
“Master!!”
I jumped up, but I jumped even further.
“That is not enough. Please ensure that Miss Julia absolutely obeys my words during the period of guidance.”
“under! “What nonsense?!”
“… i get it. Julia, be sure to follow Professor Ban’s instructions.”
“S-Master?!”
“I said it clearly.”
Julia looked bewildered.
This is a command from a teacher more absolute than heaven, so no matter what instructions I give from now on, I will have no choice but to follow them.
‘It’s sesame salt.’
Gwangryong sighed and spread his wings behind his back.
It was dragon mode.
“I’ll just go now.”
“It’s going to be a long road, so wouldn’t it be a good idea to relax after traveling?”
It was an empty question, but an unexpected answer came back.
“These days, the situation in the demonic area I am in charge of is unusual, so that would be difficult.”
“… “What’s wrong with the Demonic Sutra?”
“I don’t know exactly, but it looks like there is a conflict between the demonic peacocks. “With the Demon King absent, it’s even more noisy.”
Although it is roughly expressed as a magical world, it was no different from one huge country.
There was a demon king at the top, and at the bottom were high-ranking demons called ‘nobles.’
‘The civil war between the demon dukes is still a story of the future?’
To be exact, it was a second-year part scenario.
‘… no. I can’t be sure. There are so many episodes that have occurred at the wrong time.’
There was one thing in particular that bothered me.
It was a chaotic monster awakening incident during a recent training session.
Clearly demons were involved. That too, a high-ranking noble.
‘Originally, this was also a second-year scenario, but it happened at the wrong time.’
A cold sweat broke out.
Of course, even if something happened in a distant devil’s land, there was little chance that it would immediately affect me.
Still, it is better to reduce variables as much as possible.
“Beware of ‘Durandal’.”
“!!”
Gwangryong made a shocked face.
It is the name of a famous sword.
However, I did not mean a famous sword.
It was a metaphorical expression.
It was a nickname referring to a ‘person’.
“… “Is the meaning I guessed just now correct?”
“It’s hard to say exactly.”
“How did you find out? “Is this information about the Duke of Ecclesia?”
“No, this is something I learned personally.”
‘It’s okay to show off later if it’s something I personally helped you with.’
What if this information changes the future?
So, if Gwangryong avoids his imminent death, I will become Gwangryong’s benefactor.
“… You surprised me several times today. “Maybe the true gem is not that child, but you.”
An admiring voice.
“Wrong. I am not just a gem, I am already a brilliant sun. “You will be able to feel my light many times in the future.”
… If it weren’t for the main character of the Black Flame Dragon, it would have been a very good ending.
Still, Gwangryong’s reaction wasn’t bad.
“hahahaha! Okay, we’ll see. “I look forward to your brilliant light spreading throughout the empire.”
Flap!
The light dragon flew into the sky and was about to disappear from the Free City.
-I’d like to ask for Julia.
After nodding as if I understood, I looked away.
Baduk.
I made eye contact with Julia, who was gritting her teeth.
‘… The look in your eyes is scary. ‘It’s not like stabbing someone in a back alley or something.’
Before anyone could say anything, Julia quickly turned around and disappeared.
Difficulties are expected in the future.
‘I didn’t think it would change easily. are you okay. Now that I am the leader, I have many opportunities to guide people.’
I thought meaningfully.
Julia probably can’t imagine it.
What kind of future lies ahead of you?
“Catherine, you did a good job too.”
“ah.”
Catherine, who was blankly holding the wooden sword as if she still couldn’t believe she had won, let out a groan!
“Why are you doing that?”
“I was going to punch him in the face, but I forgot. “Can I come back after hitting you?”
“… “Be patient.”
“… Actually, I’m a little scared of him too. “I’ll hit you when I get a little stronger.”
It was Catherine whose eyes were burning with the will of a hero, as if her words that she would beat her later were empty words.
“Let’s go get something to eat.”
“Since I worked hard, are you buying me something expensive?”
“Oh oh! Is today a victory dinner?! As expected, Taeyang, Ban Confucius! “I am almost blinded by Confucius Ban’s splendor!”
When Hans shook the bowl, beggars immediately stuck to him.
“… Can I come with you too? Oh, it’s not because I’m starving because I lost money on food while secretly going through the dark route!”
“… I am… I won’t go because I haven’t done anything. It’s depressing. “I wanted to be the professor’s right hand man.”
-Kyuyu! Kuyu! tail… talent!
In particular, Marie, who always ate cheap bread, was so excited that she fluttered wildly inside the magic bag.
‘But Marie, you didn’t just say meat, right? No matter how fast a dragon speaks, the fact that its first word is meat is a little… .’
Anyway, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to eat together for the first time in a long time.
What about money?
‘When I became a professor, I received an Academy corporate card! If we all eat together, we can use it to pay for the company dinner!’
Although the limit is small, I am now invincible.
He spoke majestically.
“Hans, you take the lead. Rebel, you too, stop talking nonsense and follow me. “It’s just that a student can confidently use a corporate credit card, but I’m not particularly concerned about you, so don’t misunderstand.”
For the first time in such a long time, I ate at a proper restaurant, not a cheap one, and then parted ways with my group.
‘It’s good that they ate well, but what should we do with the remaining two students?’
Susan and her urethra remained.
They are completely different from the previous two problem children.
‘Not to mention the 3rd Prince Yodo, Susan is also not very serious. I requested it from the National Intelligence Service, but why can’t I find his whereabouts?’
While looking for Susan, I discovered something surprising.
No one at the academy knew Susan.
Even the agents of the National Intelligence Service, experts in finding people, were unable to keep up.
‘… First of all, since attendance is being replaced with a mail report, it is not an absence without permission, so let’s wait until the criminal investigation office finds it. The time has come for 3rd Prince Yodo to be bitten.’
indeed.
I went deep into the shabby streets of District 5 and found myself near my single-room home.
In front of an old, dilapidated building stood a figure wearing a flashy uniform that did not fit in with the surroundings at all.
“You’re here, Professor Ban. “I was waiting.”
A voice like a blade.
A fierce force.
The imperial eagle emblem embroidered on the shoulder.
“My name is Gis, commander of the 4th Battalion of the Imperial Guard. “His Majesty the Third Prince has requested to see you.”
* * *
Lord Geese guided me to the student dormitory.
For reference, the dormitory is divided into three.
Commoners’ Hall, Nobles’ Hall, Royal Hall.
In the literal sense, only the highest blue blood of the duke’s family, royal family, or imperial family can reside in the Royal Pavilion.
The 3rd Prince’s residence was, of course, the Royal House, and the dormitory room was like a luxury hotel suite.
‘… i envy you. This body is also a royal blood, so why is my accommodation such a single room?’
There was even a separate living room, which was about three times larger than my single room.
-Kyuyu! Kuyu! Kid! Kuyu! Bye bye!
Marie jumped out of the magic bag and toddled around.
He seemed excited after walking on thin ice at home because he was always worried about noise between floors.
I wasn’t making a fuss, and there was no need to worry about rumors going around here, so it was time to just leave it alone.
“Ohh? A dragon? Professor Ban, are you following me? “It’s fascinating.”
A tall handsome man appeared.
Rather than a boy, he is a young man in his early 20s.
Mikhail, the 3rd Prince of Yodo, smiled at me.
“They say that only heroes can control dragons. “Professor Ban, it seems the recent rumors about you are not exaggerated.”
“This is too much praise. “I would like to meet His Highness Mikhail, the 3rd Prince.”
I got down on one knee and showed my respect.
“There’s no need to be so stiff. Aren’t we friends? “It was fun to hang out with you in the back alleys of the capital.”
3rd Prince Yodo is also a piece of imperial trash.
The setting was that they were acquainted with ‘half’ who were trash of the same age.
However, even though they were the same trash, there was a big difference between the two.
“hahahaha. How can this body be your student? I couldn’t even imagine. “Isn’t the world really fun?”
It was the ‘true story’ that resided within.
A sharp light passed through Yodo’s grinning eyes.
They’re trying to measure me.
It was an important moment.
