55 – Evan becomes famous
Basic swordsmanship 1. The way to the classroom.
Evan felt dissatisfied.
She was originally going to go to the gravity room with Maya two days ago, but only Evan was allowed in and Maya was not allowed in.
At this time, Maya’s activity permit was not issued.
Evan left the gravity room feeling like he was chewing his gallbladder.
And I took care of the things that couldn’t be done.
I bought new clothes for Maya, who had burned down, and found a room in her new inn.
‘Today I can introduce Maya to the gravity room.’
In the meantime, Maya practiced in the Pinmana Forest.
But now that Maya has an activity permit, she can go to the gravity room.
‘If you think about it, you are putting effort into your student.’
Maya’s growth is fast enough to catch Evan’s attention, so Evan is putting a lot of effort into it.
Evan thought.
Maybe he was impatient.
Because of my poor physical abilities, I wanted to raise my future sparring partner well.
Of course… He feels strangely at ease when that guy is around.
Evan closed his eyes and opened them.
‘Should we increase the rate of meditation?’
Evan felt a lot while dealing with the judges this time.
‘As expected, my physical ability was poor to use large techniques multiple times.’
This is because her body became tattered while imitating Gaebyeok’s sword.
Couldn’t he have caught the dragons with less force?
I have something to think about.
『Skill street: Sword of Gaebyeok (1 star), Step to open the darkness (0 stars), Pilgrim’s sword (2 stars)』
Pilgrim’s Sword rose to 2 stars.
A place where 2-star light resides.
It will probably be useful until the sword of Gaebyeok can be used.
‘There is one more good news.’
『Balance: 10,375,650,000 points』
The amount displayed on the device is approximately 10.3 Billion points.
10 Billion points were paid for dealing with two dragon judges.
Originally, the fee was a lot of money, but Valua took care of it, so I got the full price.
There were small expenses, such as buying new clothes for Maya and renting a room at an inn.
‘I won’t have to worry about money anymore.’
You will never waste your time for money.
Now that we have 10.3 Billion points.
Evan smiled slightly.
It is good to have more training time.
“Hey Evan… ….”
A male student blocking Evan’s path.
It’s an unknown face.
Evan walked and stopped for a moment.
The male student who spoke with a difficult expression was curious about Evan.
“They say you caught a dragon… It’s true?”
After dealing with the judges, Evan became famous.
The mayor of Allulim expressed his gratitude to Evan on a large scale.
Alullim’s investigation team is still investigating the incident, so it has not been announced that the dragons are the judges.
But it was known that Evan caught the dragon.
There were also testimonies from citizens at the time.
A first grader caught a dragon! The Academy was already in an uproar with this news.
“Yes.”
“Wow, that’s amazing! Thanks for the reply.”
The boy was impressed and got away from Evan.
‘There’s been an increase in people asking if I’ve caught a dragon.’
Every time I walked around the academy over the past few days, students asked Evan questions.
Did you really catch the dragon?
It wasn’t a long time, but Evan was bothered because there were many students asking questions.
“They said they caught a real dragon.”
“Son, then the mayor of Alulim would lie?”
“That’s right. Still, it’s amazing. I think I was just confessing to my professors just two months ago.”
“You don’t do things like that lately, do you?”
“Yeah, hiya~ I was called incompetent Evan, so how can things change like this?”
Students whispering.
Evaluations and questions about Evan go back and forth.
Evan ignored them and went to the classroom.
She had no intention of wasting time arguing.
※
The situation was similar in the classroom.
Drur!
When the door opened and Evan entered the classroom, the students became quiet for an instant.
The students each looked at Evan and started whispering again.
The topic is Evan.
Capturing a dragon was a big interest for first-year students.
Slaying a dragon is a dream for aspiring knights.
It is difficult to catch a flying bird, so how amazing is it to catch a dragon?
So, some people doubted Evan’s abilities.
“Didn’t you get help from the Grace family? No matter how much I think about it, it’s impossible with Evan’s power alone.”
Hilda, one of Jeanne’s gang, whispered to her friends.
Among Jeanne’s gang, Hilda is the highest-ranking person and has a bad personality.
Hilda was the daughter of a count, so she felt no pressure to badmouth Evan. The Grace family, to which Evan belongs, is a count family similar to Hilda’s family.
“After hearing it clearly, it makes sense.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Hilda’s friends and Jeanne’s gang of three agreed with Hilda’s opinion.
Mostly, Hilda would express her opinion and the other three would agree.
Evan, who has good ears, heard their gossip but ignored it.
Gossip is something I always hear.
Just don’t disturb your training.
Squeak
Evan took out his chair and sat down in his seat.
Next to her, Jeanne, who had come first, was smirking.
“Hello?”
Jeanne’s bright voice.
Jeanne greeted Evan with her hand resting on her chin.
Jeanne’s attitude has changed.
Jeanne thought that Evan was joining the Sword Saint’s disciple.
‘When the study group ended, Master called Evan alone. ‘Maybe you want to make Evan your disciple.’
Master has been wanting to know about Evan for some time.
Isn’t the reason the teacher was keeping an eye on Evan because he was anticipating this moment?
Evan caught the dragon again.
Second time since the baby dragon’s request.
Clearly, Evan has great skills that Jeanne cannot see.
“Please take care of me.”
Jeanne leisurely held out her hand.
“What are we going to do?”
Evan frowned and looked down at Jeanne’s hands.
She didn’t think it was right for Jeanne to shake her hand out of the blue.
‘I’m trying to become friendly with the Sword Saint’s disciples.’
Jeanne firmly believed that Evan would become the Sword Saint’s disciple.
Because there is no student who would refuse a swordsman’s offer as a disciple.
Of course, Evan had rejected the Sword Saint’s offer.
Palak
Evan ignored Jeanne and opened Altair’s new book.
This time, it is a book with the cover of the textbook Basic Swordsmanship 1. Covered.
Jeanne felt ashamed at the blatant disregard.
“Hey… you…… !”
Jeanne screamed all the way up to her throat, but she held back.
Master has not yet announced Evan as a disciple.
It is not right for Jeanne, her student, to announce this fact in advance.
Jeanne barely swallowed her shame and corrected her countenance.
“No… Please take care of me.”
Jeanne forced a smile.
Because I can’t give a bad impression to my future students who will have the same teacher.
Hilda, who was watching Jeanne and Evan, was completely appalled.
‘What is this guy that Jeanne is so concerned about?’
Hilda crossed her arms and glared at Evan.
If you think about it, Jeanne had been secretly caring about Evan for a while.
Could it be because Evan caught the dragon?
‘…… ‘I tried not to worry about it.’
In fact, Hilda was not jealous, even though she had badmouthed Evan in the past.
No matter how much Evan flies and crawls, there is no way he will be noticed by the Sword Saint.
But now that Evan has caught the dragon, Hilda feels a sense of crisis.
‘If I do something wrong, Evan might become Sword Saint’s disciple before me.’
Hilda felt unfair.
She put in a lot of effort to Jeanne in order for her to become a disciple of the Sword Saint.
If you become a disciple of the Sword Saint, you can receive all kinds of benefits and change your situation!
Hilda was afraid.
If she continues like this, her efforts may be in vain.
Her position as a disciple of the Sword Saint is hers.
Hilda’s eyes rolled back at this illusion, and she stomped in front of Evan.
Hilda felt anxious that Evan might have killed the dragon alone, but she tried to ignore it.
“……… ?”
Hilda came in front of her Evan and placed both her hands on his waist as if questioning her.
“You, Jeanne, are speaking, but why is there no answer?”
Hilda with an angry face.
The rest of Jeanne’s gang followed her in confusion. She didn’t know she would pick a fight with Evan.
“Just because you caught a dragon, doesn’t that mean you’ve become too arrogant? I don’t even know if you caught the dragon in the first place. “Grace may have helped you.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Jeanne’s gang bickering.
Jeanne’s gang was hiding behind Hilda and watching her.
Evan looked up at them blankly. Originally, he would have ignored it, but recently the number of people who are bothering him is increasing.
A side effect that became famous.
‘I can’t help it.’
Evan had no intention of avoiding the spilled water.
‘Educating small children is a trivial task.’
If Hilda is left alone, it is obvious that her training time will be interrupted.
It is necessary to set an example and scold some people.
“If you have complaints, let’s spar.”
Evan said to Hilda.
“What…… ?”
Hilda opened her mouth slightly and asked back.
Evan said with an indifferent face.
“Didn’t you understand? Let me rephrase it. It’s time to be beaten, Jeanne’s subordinate. Follow me after this class. “I will direct the traffic at this time.”
This is a statement full of disregard that cannot be easily ignored.
Hilda’s face turned red with shame.
“Ugh…… !”
I had no idea that Evan, who had never reacted much to other people’s gossip, would come out like this.
You said we should spar first.
If she backs down from here, her evaluation in her class will go downhill.
Hilda replied, biting her lip.
“Okay!”
The sudden establishment of sparring.
The students in the classroom cheered quietly.

《Royal Charles Academy Student Bulletin Board》
[Title: Breaking News! Trot! First-year student Hilda spars with Evan!]
[Title: Didn’t you say you caught Evan? What is Hilda believing in and attacking her?]
[Title: Hilda says she may have helped the Grace family? Honestly, I can’t believe Evan killed the dragon alone.]
[Subject: No hahahaha Mayor Alullim guaranteed it, what kind of idiots are they?]
[Title: I’m curious about Evan’s skills.]
[Title: Hilda is rumored to have a bad personality. Are you going to get a true education? Lol]
The student bulletin board is a mess.
Basic Swordsmanship 1. After class, Selene checked her device and narrowed her eyes.
‘…… Hmm.’
I still had errands to run to Evan, and it went well.
Selene spoke to her students as soon as Professor Lin left.
“I will judge sparring.”
“I agree, Selene!”
“Me too!”
“Oh… “It’s fair if it’s Selene.”
“Okay. “Hilda only hangs out with Jeanne, so she needs to be judged fairly.”
Fortunately, public opinion sided with Selene.
Selene winked at her friends to excuse her, and then she turned to Evan.
‘No matter how much I think about it…… ‘He’s like moonlight.’
From the moment the news of Evan’s capture of the dragon spread throughout the Academy, Selene could not erase this suspicion.
