Academy
It was a kind of tradition for the king to visit on the day of Elande Academy’s graduation ceremony.
It is an important process for the king to see with his own eyes the talents who will lead the future of the kingdom, and for graduates to remember who they must be loyal to. The graduation ceremony will be held as scheduled.
Even the usual troublesome cadets never had an accident on this day.
“Is it real?”
“It’s true. I heard it myself.”
But this day was different.
The cadets gathered in the empty classroom were talking with serious expressions on their faces as if the world had collapsed.
For the past year, the guy who had been docile with whatever he said or said when he hit him suddenly beat up any cadets who suddenly caught his eye, as if he had eaten something wrong. At first, those who laughed and dismissed it as nothing but rumors came to see the victims with their own two eyes and changed their thoughts.
‘Greuk, gureuk.’
‘Kill me… Just kill me…’
Friends who are wandering on the border of life and death with faces that are hard to see with their eyes open.
Even if it was cruel, it was all about bullying a child who couldn’t resist together, and as soon as they saw it, they immediately went to the professor and informed them of the situation, and they were relieved only after seeing Leon taken to the disciplinary committee.
That is until the next day, Leon walks around the academy energetically as if nothing had happened.
“That guy. He was threatening the professors.”
“Threats. How? Besides, there’s not just one professor, but several. Do you think that’s possible? How can cadets, at least, deal with professors?”
“There was a magic tool. A magic tool that could save images and sounds. They said that everything they had experienced at the academy was recorded in it.”
“Is there such a magic tool?”
“I checked it myself. Leon and Professor Felix went into the other professor’s room together, so I secretly overheard something strange. I confirmed that I could hear Leon’s voice explaining the magic tool’s ability and the voices of the other professors who weren’t there. He threatened to reveal the magic tool to His Majesty the King at the ordination ceremony if he didn’t obey.”
“crazy!”
The cadets’ complexions turned white.
It’s not that they’re so stupid that they can’t grasp reality.
Going to the king with evidence that can clearly prove what happened so far?
You won’t be punished severely, but your honor will fall to the bottom, and even the family can spark.
“Nonsense! If there is such a thing, why did you stay still?”
“It was obvious that inside the academy, even if informed, they would ignore it, so they said they were waiting for an opportunity to face His Highness in person.”
“What a vicious bastard!”
“I can’t believe it, but if you think about what happened yesterday…”
Leon violently assaults the cadets, and the professors ignore it as if nothing happened even though they saw it with their own eyes. The cadets, who were furious that they would inform their families, had a brief interview with Leon and became contemplative and shut their mouths.
If Leon had a magic tool that could record everything, and if he threatened to reveal it to the king, all the demons would fit.
“Wait! If that’s true, then this isn’t the time to be here! What should we do if that bastard reveals the magic tool to His Highness?!”
“Ah. If that’s the case, why would the professors and those who were beaten by Leon just stay still? In exchange for asking about the accident, they negotiated something like not disclosing the magic tool, so they’re just staying still. Isn’t that natural?”
Common sense makes sense.
However, that conjecture was overpowered by a cadet’s refutation.
“What if we only show the records of the rest of the people except for the records related to the people who negotiated? Think of what we have done to him so far. If you do, we’re all done! Wake up!”
“Fuck, do you have any solutions? Why change the atmosphere by yourself…”
“I have.”
“···What?”
“We can negotiate.”
* * *
“Is that why you called me?”
“Yes.”
Yoosung looked around and burst out laughing.
About 10 students filled the classroom.
Beyond the fake smile, I could vaguely sense the humiliation and anger that I was desperately suppressing.
“·······.”
Yuseong, who slowly turned his head without saying anything and checked the faces of the cadets one by one, opened his mouth with a satisfied expression.
“Negotiation. I don’t know what you’re talking about all of a sudden.”
“I know that you have a special magic tool and that you are threatening professors and students with it.”
“How did you know that?”
“That’s not important. What matters is whether or not you use that magic tool. We want you to keep it hidden and not reveal it.”
“If you refuse, what will you do? Are you going to use violence like you did before?”
gulp.
‘I thought so.’
Some swallowed dry saliva, others broke out in a cold sweat.
“If you want to talk, there must be places that are a bit more suitable, but they insisted on calling them into a lecture room like this, blocking the door, and wanting to negotiate. It seems to me that they are trying to threaten rather than negotiate. You want me to stay out of here until you leave?”
“Tea, it’s an illusion.”
“Yes? Then can we move to another location?”
“···That’s not allowed.”
“Of course you would.”
The air around him began to sink heavily as he repeatedly clenched and opened his fists without saying anything. The moment everyone secretly reached for their weapons and raised their mana, prepared for battle, Yoosung’s mouth opened.
“great.”
“Huh? G-Really?”
“I don’t want to fight a fight I’m sure to lose.”
“That’s right? Ha ha ha!”
I wasn’t lying
No matter how martial arts can be used, the basis is Leon’s body.
Even if it was possible to fight one-on-one like sparring or to surprise and knock down unsuspecting guys, it was difficult to fight head-on with nearly twenty cadets.
‘The story would have to be different if I ran amok with a plasma axe, but if I did, someone could die.’
Yuseong recalled the influence of the professors and the content of the negotiations he had made over the past two days.
“Good idea. If anyone bothers you in the future, tell me! I’ll take care of it.”
“Oh, should I change my equipment to a new one? This time I got a glove made of black ogre leather, but I used to use one, so I just kept it? You always use orc leather gloves, so try something else. There’s nothing like ogre leather. “
“Everyone get out of the way! Leon, after this swearing-in ceremony, why don’t we go outside the academy together? I know a place that kills me.”
At the sight of the cadets approaching as if they had been friends for 10 years, Yooseong gave a moderate smile and agreed.
It seemed like everything was going well, but Yooseong’s heart was the exact opposite.
‘So what are you going to do? Seeing what these guys are doing, I think it would be okay to end here. As long as we get along in moderation, life in the academy won’t be too bad.’
-···What would you do if you were Yoosung?
‘me? If it were me, of course I would go to the end. Even if I die, I will never see the people I hate do well.’
With that one word, Leon put an end to his hesitation and made a decision.
– I will go all the way.
‘great.’
He didn’t say that there was little to be gained by going all the way, or that it could be dangerous.
It was not that he would live in this body for 1,000,000 years, and he would return when the quest was over. As it was Leon’s life, it was right for Leon to decide how to finish it.
bang!
Yuseong, who rolled his feet and focused everyone’s attention, stared at a cadet in the corner.
The cadets, who looked at the two faces alternately in an unusual atmosphere, remembered that Leon had a magic tool, used it to intimidate the professors and cadets, and was the cadet who suggested negotiating. I giggled.
“Dennis, you get out. If you don’t want to be followed.”
“···Thank you.”
Squeak!
At the same time Dennis left and the door closed, Yoosung started rummaging through his arms with a smileless expression on his face. He was nervous that he might be pulling out a weapon, but what appeared was something he had never imagined.
“wine?”
A reddish liquid and a sour smell wafting out the moment you open the lid.
Wherever you look, it’s wine.
Yuseong nodded and said to the cadets, who were questioning whether they wanted to become closer while drinking together, or how they brought alcohol into the academy before that.
“I got it after helping some agent. Did you say it was 53-year-old Armian wine? I don’t really enjoy drinking, and it’s not something from our world to sell, so I was just storing it in case someone felt strange and tracked it down, but I didn’t know it could be used like this. .”
Chew!
“What?”
“What are you doing all of a sudden!”
Everyone was taken aback by the appearance of pouring wine out of nowhere, but Yoosung continued his explanation with a calm expression.
“It’s a bottom line. It’s a little convincing to say that even the most outgoing guys got into an accident with their soberness, right? Saying they weren’t in their right mind because they drank alcohol would be a good reason.”
“What does that mean…”
Chew!
“Quit!”
“Isn’t it a bit unnatural to have wine on your clothes so openly?
Chew!
“…Is this bastard crazy?”
The wine-soaked cadet spat out curse words, and the other cadets’ expressions began to contort. They laughed and made fun of it somehow, but they weren’t disciplined enough to remain calm even after receiving such humiliation from a guy who had treated them as less than grime on their toes for over a year.
“Hey, surround it.”
“Let’s fight? Reveal the magic tools?”
“Ha! Revealed? Do you think you can get out of here? Thinking about living in the academy while making you feel good about throwing it away, my stomach exploded, but it went well. What about the negotiations, you’re going to fall behind today. If you don’t like that, put out your magic tools and .”
“Hmm.”
Yuseong, who was humming and walking around the classroom, said with a blatant sneer that anyone could tell.
“What if you don’t like it?”
“… that’s how it works!”
A fist that flew suddenly hit Yoosung’s face.
Seeing him fall backwards with a single blow, everyone laughed and thought, ‘If that’s the case’. That is, until you see what happens next.
widely! widely! widely!
Yooseong, who was hit in the face, stepped on a nearby desk, leaped high into the sky, kicked the wall, and threw herself toward the window.
While everyone was making a bewildered look at the movement completely ignoring the appearance of action and reaction, Yooseong closed his eyes and remembered what he had experienced in the army a long time ago.
The unit Yooseong served in was one where there was not a little bit of absurdity or violence.
I had to follow rules that weren’t even funny because I was a successor, and I was assaulted for not being funny, but no one disputed that fact and, of course, the bad habit was maintained.
That is, until one of the classmates does something.
‘Aren’t you doing your job properly?’
A blow to the extent of patting the cheek.
But what happened after that was horrific.
‘Cheuk!’
Dong-gi, who spun 360 degrees in place as if he had been punched by a heavyweight boxer, threw his body to the other side and tumbled to the floor, and in the process, the TV hanging on his arm fell to the floor and shattered.
After that, things were simple.
The seniors and their motives were immediately taken away by the officers who ran to them, and within a few days, most of the bad habits disappeared with the seniors going to prison or vacations cut off.
It just happened.
Quaang!
“Keukhak!”
A heavy shock that could not be removed even by enduring pain and enduring it.
His eyes blurred and a fishy smell rose from his throat, but Yoosung laughed.
“… what the hell is this?”
Yuseong quietly closed his eyes after seeing a middle-aged man looking this way while being protected by several knights with a fancy crown on top of his head.
this is not a game
