Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines

227 – Tournament (9)☆

The next morning, I headed to where Yeongchae was as the trumpet sounded several times.

After going to the bathroom all night, I was so tired that I almost died. She has too much sense to ask Ain, but she can’t ask other women to escort her, so it’s because she woke everyone up.

I was actually a bit annoyed when Rosa, Kite, and even Rita were asked for help.

If you look at the fact that they did this every time they were on watch, it wouldn’t be because they were hungry. I was scared all night, so I guess I wanted someone to keep my eyes open with me. I think I finally know a little bit about women.

“What are you thinking?”

Rita asked.

─The terrible thought of having to help you urinate from now on.

“I just thought it would be difficult.”

“Are you having a hard time?”

“Yes, we are four women and one man.”

If you see poop in front of you, you would be a fool to step on it.

“So?”

“I think you, as women, will have a lot of inconveniences.”

“Yangmul, have you finally realized that?”

“No…… We are also treated with great consideration…… “Everything is fine except washing.”

“Po, phone phone…… I’m sorry…… “Sister, I’m hungry.”

Damn, I said one thing and got three words back.

“Ain, there are no changes to the plan, right?”

“Nothing.”

“Will it work?”

“Ahahahaha, this will definitely work.”

As Rita spoke with such confidence, I realized that the opinions of the captain and deputy commander were unwavering.

“What about Rosa and Kite?”

Therefore, we had to listen to the opinions of those who disagreed.

“Haruna…… “It’s okay in two days.”

“Phonephone…… “Si, if you tell me to, I will obey.”

Both of us are not used to rejection, so I don’t know if we can see this as a clear acceptance.

“Hey, you keep protecting your female.”

“It’s not like that.”

“No, you bastard. Don’t forget that they are also tournament participants?”

That’s right. If Kite and Rosa were part of our group, they had an obligation to follow the leader’s wishes regardless of whether they were competent or not. What I had to do was coordinate the opinions of the top and bottom, not defend one side.

“Has everyone arrived?”

When we arrived at Yeongchae, the instructor in charge of roll call had already arrived. Orgiola’s dragons had little bits of dye on them. He asked about what happened last night and why the dye was on it. As Renji laughed, Sera stepped forward and explained the whole situation. Since they had me as a witness, I told them exactly what I saw.

“So, did Orgiola’s Black Flame Dragon kill five enemies?”

“That’s right.”

In response to Sera’s answer, Ain kicked my shin.

“Why?”

“I heard you helped too!”

The instructor looked at me blankly. Aizen agreed and added that he had fired supporting fire in last night’s battle.

“Proof is impossible because the dye has not been applied.”

“If that’s the case, I can’t give you points.”

The instructor put a two-finger-long stick into Orgiola’s dye container and then checked something. I thought they were all the same indigo, but there seems to be a slight difference in color. In this way, based on today’s statement, we can distinguish between those who are eliminated and those who are unable to fight. Even if it’s nonsense, you can just cross-verify it.

“Hey instructor?”

It was Rita.

“Cadet, please reveal her affiliation and name.”

“This is Rita von Law of Heoden.”

“Speak.”

“Is it acceptable to strategically burn young chae?”

Sera’s eyes became sharp.

“It doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t burn down.”

“The fire could spread into the forest, right?”

“This is not a water conservation area, and it is early summer.”

This means that accidents caused by fire are unlikely to occur.

“Ah, yes. All right.”

The instructor looked at Rita one more time and finished the roll call.

“From now on, everyone will go to the open space in the center, so please follow us.”

There were a lot of people gathered in the vacant lot with stains all over their bodies. The cadets in Colonia were in good condition, as if they had not even left the camp. There were already people eliminated from Orgiola and Mentator, and there were people who were unable to fight in Velaste as well. There were only two of us from Heoden, but they were already slightly injured.

“Rita, didn’t you say that there were a lot of applications from Heoden?”

Out of a total of 40 groups in the tournament, there are only three.

“Everyone withdrew and left over the weekend.”

“What on earth were you thinking when you applied?”

“Ahahahaha, I guess I thought it was wrong when I was about to do it.”

“Yangmul, the original tournament is one where there are fewer participants compared to the number of applicants.”

I was convinced because the machete competitions held by the royal family were also like that.

“I’ll write down your rankings, so go back to Yeongchae and wait until you hear the trumpet!”

Several instructors hung wooden boards on a huge tree in the vacant lot.

“Yangmul, what does it say?”

“That’s right, you’re tall, so look at me and tell me.”

“Orgiola’s Black Flame Dragon is tied for second place.”

Quite a number of groups, including Heoden, have already been eliminated or the number of people unable to fight exceeds 50%. For them, survival itself, let alone victory, will be the key. Perhaps they will all be transferred to Yeongchae’s group and plan for the future.

“I can see some people being eliminated because they lost their flags.”

“You idiots, who are these idiots?”

─Damn it, Heoden.

“I don’t know, I can’t see that far.”

“You idiots, if you’re going to do that, fight and give them points.”

I felt like if I continued to be more indifferent, I would end up in a bad situation, so I returned to Yeongchae No. 31 With Orgiola’s dragons.

Aizen told me yesterday that he had defeated the enemy thanks to me, so I just nodded. This time, it was a bit difficult to continue listening because of his uniquely pretentious tone. I ignored it all along, but then I suddenly asked because I didn’t understand.

“Aizen, did you really need to smoke to lure and deceive the enemy?”

Then he answers again in an unsuitable tone.

“I didn’t mean to deceive you.”

“Then?”

“It’s just that no one really understood my intentions.”

“This bastard is so disgusting?”

“Ain, just be patient for now.”

“I mean the intention to solve the enemy.”

All of the dragons except Sera nodded, so I expressed my honest thoughts.

“If you do something like this, you will be criticized publicly.”

“No, how dare you judge our captain’s opinion?”

“This is ridiculous!”

Ain was shaking his fist, so I stopped him.

“No matter how much it is called a hut, it is a place used by the beastmen living in this forest.”

“Ah, I know.”

“If you know, you shouldn’t start a fire.”

Rita stepped forward.

“Why?”

This time Sarah raised her question.

“Anyway, it’s up to us to decide what to do with Yeongchae.”

No matter how they use a structure that is nothing more than a strategic resource, it is their own decision, so even if they are allies, they are told not to interfere. There is nothing wrong with logic. However, this is an area where beastmen roam. Even though it is not a protected area, we had to be careful because if the fire spreads, it could cause casualties.

“Someone could get hurt.”

“Boy, that’s what combat is all about.”

“I’m not a boy?”

“It’s funny, Deman doesn’t look like a boy at all!”

“Someone gets hurt and someone gets honored.”

“Hey, boss. “Each of the four letters rhymes well?”

“This is a poem!”

“I’m embarrassed too, everyone just stay quiet.”

“Sera, you write poetry too.”

“Everyone dies.”

“Hey, this too is a joke!”

“These kites, as the representative of the alliance, should I burn them all down?”

I am not the one to solve this chaos. She asked Ain to tell us our requirements, so she walked towards where Aizen was. There is not much difference in height between the two. I think it’s around 173-174cm. Seeing a guy of that size lead these guys, it seems like his skills are clear.

“Hey, boss bastard. “As of today, we have run out of food.”

Ain glanced towards her Rosa.

─You mistreated me a few hours ago and you’re doing it again.

Seeing that Kite was hungry but held back for a long time, Roza clearly doesn’t notice and gets criticized for no reason. When she saw that Ain criticized her for being lazy and only good at eating, she suspected that the abbess would have said something similar.

“We have nothing more to give.”

Sarah draws her line like her sword.

“Who do you think is a beggar? “We’re going to gather together and save it, right?”

“Ah, if that’s the case, it’s already been talked about.”

Beautiful girl, she said, and then the kick flew right in front of her eyes. When I saw everyone sighing, it wasn’t that they were impressed by these bastards, but that they were disappointed that they couldn’t see their underwear. They’re all the same dark green anyway, so what do you expect?

“A violent girl?”

“If you call me girl one more time, I’ll give you a taste of royal authority.”

“Ah, the royal family…… “It’s a nostalgic name.”

“Is this guy really a idiot?”

─There were curses worse than that of a crazy bastard.

“So who will be gathering with us today, a boy or a girl?”

─This bastard is scratching. I was trying to figure out the other person’s personality by deliberately scratching them.

“Oh, I can’t do this. Hey, you guys talk about whether it’s sheep water or snout.”

“Ahahahaha, I guess I have no choice but to do this.”

As soon as Rita, who was the nicest, came out, Sarah immediately came forward and pushed Aizen behind her.

“It would be better if we all set a time together and go around in pairs.”

“This is different from what we talked about yesterday.”

“I know, but what can I do if everyone is hungry and I don’t want to be stuck around all day?”

“Ugh…… “Do you not trust us?”

“They are natural gentlemen who have never held a woman’s hand!”

─Hey, if you don’t have experience, it’s scarier because you don’t know good, right?

I was busy as Kite and Rosa were hiding, saying they would take my back.

“We will all collect together for about two hours from now and share it here.”

“Captain Aizen, you say so?”

When Sera passed her words, all the dragons, including Renji, clapped and said they liked it. The head of the couple department was the one who helped her deliver an easy birth because she had never raised an objection since she was born. He is a very strange circle with only one member.

“Okay, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to do it together every day.”

As Sarah accepted her conditions, those who clenched her fists came one after another.

Will Ain and Rita’s strategy really work? For me, it was something I had never even thought about, so I wasn’t sure about its effectiveness. However, the only thing that bothered me was that Kite and Rosa would not welcome or enjoy this.

─Is the victory I gained by hurting my people right?

I couldn’t say such an emotional sentence, so I stayed silent.

“Ahahahaha, then the only question left is who goes with whom?”

First, the captains, Ain and Aizen, were paired up. I, a member of the Blue First Branch, pair with Sarah, a member of the Hong Il Branch. In this case, the only ones left were Rita, Kite, and Rosa. Rita spoke as Renji, the manager, deputy manager, and deputy manager were about to express their desires with very expectant looks in their eyes.

“Let’s choose by popular vote!”

Even though Ain won the Oman Award, she fortunately received one vote from everyone as a result of the forced voting. Now, each of us had to complete the task assigned to us. The name of the operation was Migangye (美間計), a mixture of Igangye (離間計) and Miingye (美人計).
