150 – [Side Story] International Student from the Eastern Continent – 09
Western Continent, Belnoa Academy.
Recently, the Academy was abuzz with a rumor.
Belnoa Academy is said to be the best in the West Continent, so its education and environment deserve to be called the best.
But if there was one thing it was lacking, it was the lack of some kind of entertainment.
The only entertainment allowed for academy students is drinking tea and chatting with each other or gathering after school to play board games.
All I can do is go out on the weekend and take a walk around the island.
As it is Belnoa Academy, if there is a rumor that could become a hot topic, it spreads quickly.
The rumor that has been swirling around Belnoa Academy recently is a duel between the much-talked-about transfer student Sir and the crown prince and his party.
In fact, Sir Wentoth was quite famous even within Belnoa Academy.
The fact that she is a rare transfer student, the fact that she is such an outstanding beauty that you cannot forget it once you see her, and other than that, she has a good personality that is kind to everyone.
Of course, the crown prince and his gang were also famous people.
The fact that they were the original crown princes was famous in itself, but what made them even more famous was their usual bad behavior.
Dishonest in his studies, skipping classes when he’s bored and going down to the village to play, and engaging in such vicious behavior that rumors spread even in the village where he went to play.
Of course, the principal and professors at Belnoa Academy were also troubled by the prince’s gang.
The fact that these two famous people were dueling was bound to become a hot topic.
As the academy is home to many nobles, duels occur frequently, but duels involving celebrities are nothing short of entertainment.
Among some students, gambling is even practiced on the basis of whether they will win or lose.
Of course, it is something that should not be done, but it is quietly tolerated by professors who know how much their students lack entertainment.
…Because most of them were from Belnoa Academy.
Of course, this rumor reached the ears of the Emperor through the higher-ups at the Academy.
The emperor, who was working in his office, was not particularly surprised because he already had a general idea of what Martina had posted through the report.
However, it was just a headache.
He expected to some extent that the orders he gave would not be faithfully carried out.
In any case, she only gave it to Martina to improve her relationship with her, as she had heard that Prince Joshua was neglectful of Martina these days.
In the emperor’s eyes, it was an order that Martina could easily carry out alone, and in fact, Martina performed the task brilliantly.
It was a moment when I felt relieved after hearing a report that an international student from the Eastern Continent was having a smooth time at the academy.
But Joshua, I had no idea that this guy would do such a stupid thing.
As for bad behavior, the emperor himself was similar during his time at the Academy, so he tolerated it to some extent.
As the emperor also rose to the upper ranks, he came to his senses and studied hard, graduating from the academy at the top of his class.
I had the complacent thought that since Joshua was my blood, he would come to his senses someday…
He had to give up that complacent thought.
As the emperor gently raised his left hand, a presence moved around him.
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth and ordered something, the presence immediately disappeared from the office.
The day of the promised duel has arrived.
Professor Calidan, who teaches martial arts at Belnoa Academy, was present to supervise the duel.
After the martial arts duel, Professor LeSalka was scheduled to attend the magic duel.
“I thought he would turn away, but he turned out all the way here.”
With a richly decorated treasured sword on his belt, Prince Joshua shouted triumphantly.
“I don’t know if it’s courage or insolence, but I’ll make you regret that decision.”
At the duel location, numerous academy students gathered and formed a circle.
Of course, if you do that, the space for dueling becomes narrow, so most of them are inside the academy building, looking through the window.
Nevertheless, there were many students who could not see the duel in person.
Under the attention of so many students, a bewildered Sir was looking around.
It was just that Sir was not used to that much attention, but it seemed to look different in the crown prince’s eyes.
His face turned bright red and he pulled out his sword.
“…I’ll show you the bitter taste!”
Professor Calidan stepped forward, raising his right hand high.
“Then, from now on, the duel will begin. Killing or seriously injuring your opponent is prohibited. Please do not forget that you may be punished if you do so.”
Unlike the duel between students at Grand Sen Academy in the East Continent, this is a duel with real swords.
Duels in the Empire were closer to duels between nobles, even among students.
Of course, there are very few cases where one loses his or her life, but one can be seriously injured in this duel.
“Are you ready?”
“No problem. You can start.”
“Ah, yes!! I’m ready!!”
Hearing Professor Calidan’s words, Sir quickly pulled out the sword from his waist.
The thin blade was pulled out with a soft sound.
Even though the sword was drawn very hastily, the blade that was pulled out with a soft sound was shining beautifully.
Numerous spectators, even Professor Calidan and Prince Joshua, looked on in fascination for a moment.
“Uh…Uhm, then let the duel begin.”
After Professor Calidan came to his senses, the audience’s attention shifted to the two again.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Start!!”
As soon as Professor Calidan finished speaking, Prince Joshua kicked her off the ground and rushed towards her.
With his sword stretched out behind his back, he lunged towards Sir Wenthos.
Just as the professor said, he never intended to end it lightly.
I didn’t like it from the beginning.
Her words began when she was suddenly summoned to her father, her emperor, and heard his orders to support her.
Why should he, who will one day become the ruler of this huge empire and is of noble blood, help a barbarian whose origin he does not know?
That wasn’t the only thing.
As soon as Sirwentos came to Belnoa Academy, she took control of her students.
She immediately became something of a leader among the students in Class A, and even achieved the position of class president.
Actually, it didn’t really matter.
Just being the class president of the academy’s underclassman class wasn’t a big deal.
But it wasn’t long before she transferred to the school and became class president.
She gathered with her friends to eat as usual, but Alyssa’s expression was dark.
After enrolling in her academy, she becomes a new friend, Lady Alyssa Leifert, who transfers to the school.
She was an excellent and beautiful daughter who entered Class A and showed off her excellent magic skills.
Above all, she had a kind heart. She always worried about the safety of the people around her, and her senses were good, so she always understood her own feelings well.
Prince Joshua was so infatuated with Alyssa that if it had been Lady Martina, who had been her fiancé since her childhood, she would have immediately confessed her feelings to her.
Instead of the beautiful smile she usually showed, she had a dark and sad expression, so Prince Joshua couldn’t help but get on her nerves.
When I finally asked her about it, she hesitated several times and confessed.
Among the academy students, she seems to be an outcast.
And indeed, it seemed to Joshua that Alyssa was being ostracized by her other students.
If Alyssa approaches, she walks away, and if she has something to convey, she quickly leaves the scene after conveying it.
Since Alyssa was a transfer student who was originally a commoner, I thought it was no big deal because I thought the students in her A class, who were mostly nobles, found her difficult.
But seeing as Alyssa was crying and speaking with such a dark expression, it seemed like her situation was quite serious.
“Well…There…There’s no confirmation.”
“Yes.”
“I was wondering if Lady Sir might be leading the bullying…”
At Alyssa’s words, a fire suddenly burned in Prince Joshua’s eyes.
The possibility is quite high.
Since Sir Wentoth is controlling the students, it will be very easy to lead him.
More than anything, I saw Sir Wenthos strangely avoiding Alyssa a few times.
When Sirwentos transferred to her school, her Alyssa had tried to contact her several times.
However, Sir Wentoth strangely and blatantly avoided Alyssa.
She answered appropriately, and then appeared to quickly leave the place.
So, it was somewhat understandable to say that Sir Wentoth was leading the effort to oust Alisa.
I don’t know why, but Sir Wentoth hated Alyssa.
But the crown prince did not know.
The reason her students avoided Alyssa in the first place was because she had no hesitation in showing off her tail to men with her fiancee.
Even most of the fiancées, from dukes to counts, are daughters of high-ranking noble families.
In this case, you may not know what will happen to you after you graduate, even though you are attending the academy now.
I was friendly with Alyssa for no reason, but I avoided her because I couldn’t tell what kind of spark she would spark.
Well, at the same time, as can be seen from the time she hangs out with the crown prince’s gang, she does not have a good personality.
And the reason why Sir Wentoth avoided Alyssa was not a very great reason.
Sir Wenthos is very weak to malice from people.
So, although those around her didn’t know, she felt a strangely strong malicious intent directed towards her from Alyssa.
She didn’t want to be exposed to malice, and she didn’t want to clash with him and make a fuss, so she was just avoiding him.
Well, even if we tell him this now, Prince Joshua’s image of Sir Wentoth is that she is a woman with a horse’s bones whose origins are unknown, and who led the bullying of his precious friend. It was just that.
“Ah…!”
Prince Joshua kicked her off the ground and immediately reached her vicinity.
As if she had checked her own appearance too late, she saw the surprised face of Sirwentos.
But it was already too late.
Prince Joshua’s sword was already rushing towards Sir Wenthos with the force of splitting his left arm.
Foreboding a tragedy that would soon follow, a sneer appeared on Prince Joshua’s face, and surprise appeared on the faces of the other students.
Kang!!
But the sound that followed was a metallic sound.
At the same time, the crown prince felt pain in her right hand.
“What…?!”
And then, the sound of metal hitting the ground.
As she slowly turned her head, she saw her treasured sword rolling around on the floor.
When I turned her head again and checked her hand, there was no sword in her hand that was holding her sword.
Her grip was torn, and her blood could be seen flowing.
“Uh… Before I knew it…”
I couldn’t even see how she bounced off.
Not only that, while she was checking her sword and her hands where she had fallen, Sirwentos was moving towards where Prince Joshua’s sword had fallen.
Prince Joshua’s expression hardened.
I was so embarrassed by the sudden situation that I was too distracted by the timing when I should have gone to retrieve the sword right away.
It is impossible to retrieve the sword in this situation, and if this continues, we will have to fight without a weapon…
“Here.”
And what caught Prince Joshua’s eyes was the sight of Sir Wentoth picking up the sword and holding it out to him.
“It’s dangerous if you don’t hold the sword properly.”
Students watching the duel seemed to see blood rushing to Prince Joshua’s head.
