I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor in Romance Fantasy

012. Ramielli Academy Entrance Ceremony (3)

“Zeek? Did you just say Zeke?”

Hearing the words from behind, Serena turned her head.

Serena’s eyes trembled as she identified the owner of the voice.

Red eyes red like blood.

A skinny body with no breasts, as if in the shape of a cliff.

The tails of the eyes raised viciously like goblins.

Another duke who has built up a bad relationship with the duke of Joheiden for a long time.

The eldest daughter of the Justia family, Iriel Justia.

“That unnecessarily large fat, stupid-looking silver hair, and a woman with crazy flowers in her hair…”

When Serena turned her head to look at her, Iriel’s eyebrows twitched as if he recognized her.

“You… Serena… Joheiden. Why are you here… aren’t you supposed to be able to come to the academy?”

“Iriel.”

Serena’s thoughts stopped for a moment at Iriel’s sudden appearance, but she immediately remembered her words.

“Iriel, how do you know about Instructor Zeke?”

“No, how did you come here… Hmm? Instructor Zeke? Swordsmanship instructor Zeke…?”

Iriel’s expression changed as he frowned and pondered over his words.

Then he glared at her with sharp eyes.

“Serena, you… What’s your relationship with Zeke?”

“That’s what I’m going to say.”

“Ha, no way Sieg was there. The academy couldn’t tell you even if he died… I thought it was the imperial family…. Joheiden, right?”

“…”

“Tsk. How dare you not inform Joheiden or something like that. Should I protest this directly to Ramiel…”

Iriel snorts as if he is exhausted.

Serena, who was exchanging words, suddenly felt strange.

Somehow, Iriel is talking as if he knows Instructor Zeke well.

It seems that he even knew in advance that he was a swordsmanship instructor at Ramiel Academy.

Her brilliant mind was able to deduce an assumption she never wanted to believe.

‘Stop, no way…’ … . Did Instructor Iriel Justia send me!?’

thud.

Serena felt her heart sink.

Iriel, this vicious woman deserved it.

The Duke of Joheiden and the Duke of Justia were facing each other in close proximity, with a dying count family between them.

For that reason, when being summoned to the imperial family, or when an invitation from a socialite came from somewhere.

There was no option to call one and not the other.

There are many overlapping areas both geographically and due to competition for rights, so the two run parallel lines that cannot be conceded.

I don’t know if the imperial family had intervened since these two dukes were at odds with each other.

Rather, the cunning emperor of the empire

To maintain the central power of the imperial family and keep the two powers in check

made them politically competitive with each other.

So there was no way they could have good feelings for each other.

The relationship between the fathers, the head of the duchy, was the same, but

Iriel and Serena have been compared to each other since they were very young and burned their rivalry.

If Serena had tried to match her in her own fair way,

Iriel used a cunning method.

Like taking over a dress store or accessory store that Serena frequents and not selling it to her.

Like bringing her followers to a party they were invited to and humiliating them face to face.

Having someone behind the scenes spread nonsense rumors.

She bullied Serena at all costs.

Because it was that kind of Iriel

In Serena’s eyes, it seemed as though she knew everything, but was still pretending not to know to humiliate herself.

‘Instructor, why do you have to… … I mean, it’s that girl. why!!!’

If the person in his past had been another woman, Serena could understand.

But not with Iriel.

At least not as much as this woman.

“Ha. Zeke Kleiman. Come right to me. Why were you wasting your time in such a shabby place?”

*

Looking at Serena’s wrathful expression, Iriel smiled pretentiously as if he guessed something.

“Oh, what’s wrong with your expression? Serena?”

“Are you familiar with the instructor?”

“Um. Maybe? Maybe not?”

Iriel smirked sarcastically.

‘No, the instructor can’t do that, there’s no way!!!’

Serena denied the situation to try to trust Zeke, but

The fact that she knew nothing about him gave rise to her doubts.

‘Come to think of it… … . From the first meeting with the instructor… … .’

In Serena’s mind, the images that Zeke had shown her so far came to mind one by one.

Even though he saved himself from the beginning, the atmosphere seemed strangely rejected.

Then suddenly I look through

From changing his attitude and accepting the invitation to the mansion.

Involved in the punishment of the servants, adding to the debt.

He showed his sword and led himself.

Now that I think about it, Zeke so naturally melted into Serena’s surroundings.

A northern aristocrat that no one thinks strange even if he is not related to the empire or nobility.

Someone who has such a smart head but doesn’t know anything about the Joheiden family.

A person who makes a cold expression as if he has no emotions.

A face that looks young enough to be considered a peer.

There’s a strangely strong swordsmanship.

‘Can such a person really have no affiliation or reputation?’

Serena only knows that he served as an ordinary soldier on the front line, then retired and was selected as an academy instructor.

But too young to retire.

Even with that swordsmanship, he was selected as an instructor at Ramieli Academy without building any reputation.

What if, as a spy raised with the support of the Justia family, he approached me deliberately?

What if I made a dramatic move when I was in danger while following me even when the carriage was attacked by goblins?

As I looked suspiciously at each and every thing I had believed without question, there was nothing that was not suspicious.

‘… … All of that smoke… … ? That, though, and Iriel Justia, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it… … !’

Serena felt a tingling sensation in the back of her head, as if her heart was being torn apart.

only one month Although it was only a month old

In the meantime, I realized how much I depended on and expected from him.

‘Meantime… … . How pitiful he must have felt seeing his innocent smile in front of him… … .’

Tears welled up at the sense of betrayal and my body trembled.

It was enough to be betrayed by someone I never thought would be

This was already the second time.

The first is Ciella. The second is Zeke.

‘Stupid Serena. Stupid Serena. Even if you suffer… … . Thinking of him like that, I wander about… … .’

The disgusting Iriel in front of me muttered to himself.

“It’s really selfish. It hasn’t changed since before. That person.”

“…”

I want to rip out the heart that was pounding just a little while ago at his looks and his way of speaking.

No, even now, when I think of him, my heart continues to pound.

As if he could never do that.

As if something was going to happen.

that was clearly misunderstood.

‘I need to check. Just check.’

Serena glared at Iriel with a fierce gaze.

“Iriel… what’s your relationship with Zeke Kleiman?”

“Didn’t I ask you earlier? What’s your relationship with Zeke?”

“Tell me quickly!”

“It’s noisy. The head of the flower garden.”

“profit!”

Just as we were about to run into each other, a middle-aged man spoke from behind.

“My lady, the entrance ceremony will begin soon.”

At those words, Iriel frowned, glared at Serena, and then turned around.

“See you later.”

However, Serena, who hadn’t heard anything yet, couldn’t let Iriel go like this.

“Wait! Where are you going! I’m not done talking!”

“It’s an entrance ceremony. You know what happens if you don’t go there? Aren’t you a duke too?”

“…”

“Ha, true. I should have recognized you from the time you wore flowers in your hair. Your intelligence level is really low.”

Serena’s body froze.

This woman is right. If you don’t attend the entrance ceremony, there will definitely be rumors going around among the nobility.

Rumors of Yoheiden not respecting the Ramieli Academy are definitely damaging.

Considering how many sons of aristocratic families there were, it was definitely right to go.

I’m going… … . but… … .

Serena closed her eyes and tried to calm her emotions.

No matter how hard she tried to sharpen her heart, she had to go to the entrance ceremony as well.

That’s right, a little later, at the entrance ceremony, I’d have to meet Zeke and Iriel face-to-face and check it out properly.

In my current emotional state, it seemed that I would make a ridiculous mistake, such as crying or screaming rather ugly.

‘At least if you’re a noble who stands above others, you shouldn’t be swayed by emotions. Always think about your priorities.’

Serena remembered her father’s words and held back the tears that were about to burst out.

However, the trembling of the fingertips could not be helped.

Iriel, who was looking at this, also pretended to be calm in front of him, but he was in a complicated mood.

‘How on earth did that man get involved with Serena, so he’s doing this?’

Iriel and Serena glared at each other.

Then I turned my head

In the end, the way to go was the same.

“Don’t follow me! Head of the flower field.”

“I’m talking about it! Cliff!”
