The Academy’s Savage Swordsman

17. OT

[Above] After training, there will be the last representative cadet oath. Cadet Yuri Grace.]

“Yes.”

When the silver-haired beautiful girl steps up onto the auditorium, all eyes are on her. Yuri didn’t care about the gaze and started reciting the oath as lightly as he did in the rehearsal.

“As cadets of the honorable Dyros Academy, our freshmen are determined to set an example. cadet representative. Yuri Grace.”

330 cadets, including representative cadet Yuri Grace, take the oath at the same time. Seeing hundreds of people voicing the same voice at the same time is grand.

After the oath was completed——the cadets gathered at the place where their respective departments gathered.

Knights, Magic, Arts, Military, and Administrative.

Kyle headed to the classroom under the guidance of the chivalry instructor. Yuri’s sharp gaze, which he hadn’t met from far away, flew in and stuck.

‘Why are you like that.’

Could it be that he misunderstood something when he saw that he was talking to Arya? Kyle tried to ignore the ominous feeling and headed for the classroom.

The instructor who guided them into the classroom stood in front of the podium with a smile on their face.

“Fellow knight department freshmen. If you wait a little bit, the professor will come soon.”

The instructor’s tone was quite friendly, unlike I expected, to the point where Kyle felt something strange when he remembered the Korean physical education system.

However, it wasn’t long before I realized the reason why the instructor had no choice but to be kind, because there were several cadets who looked like nobles sitting in the classroom.

‘Hey, they say they are of equal status within the academy, but is that as easy as it sounds… … .’

Unless you have a good family like yourself and better skills, you can’t go around shouting equality within the academy.

If that instructor over there fails to become a professor at the academy and is fired, he will have to go under someone’s family- what if he is hated by the nobles for carrying a military standard unnecessarily?

Beyond the road to success, the road to employment is blocked. If it’s an expert level, I’d still write it somewhere. In the first place, if you’re an expert, you won’t be fired from the academy.

“Who is the professor so he doesn’t come like this… … ?”

first day of admission. The cadets, who have yet to throw off their aristocratic t-shirts, are starting to get dissatisfied with the professor who keeps them waiting.

Before long, however, the cadets soon fell silent, as dull footsteps came from outside the door.

drooling-! The door opened and a decrepit old man entered the classroom. There was no one present who did not know his face. Whether it was aristocrats or commoners, it was the same.

“What is so quiet?”

When Gawain, the professor in charge of the engineering department, opened his mouth, the students burst into exclamation at the fact that what they were seeing was real.

A hero of the empire, a living legend, and a master few in the empire.

He cannot go out on the battlefield due to an injury he received when he was young, but instead, he is a legendary being who devotes himself to nurturing younger students.

“You look like you saw something you couldn’t see. Why should I change you to another professor?”

“Oh no!”

“ok? I’m old and my ears are fine… … .”

“Professor Gawain is good!”

Gawain, who half-forced the response, smiled and began to explain why he had come here.

“There may be people who know, and people who don’t, but the academy values freedom. No matter what class you guys take or not. As long as you can graduate with just the credits you need, we don’t care at all.”

“Oh, oh oh… … .”

“But—if you give those kids who have just become academy students that kind of freedom, they won’t know what to do, so they’ll wrap their heads up first, right? That’s why first-year students can’t choose the subjects they want.”

The cadets, who were happy to hear that they were free to do anything, despaired at the words that followed, and the cadets, who had no idea what to do yet, were relieved.

Gawain, who was observing the reactions of the cadets, had an instructor distribute timetables to the cadets.

“This is the timetable for your driver’s department. It’s full of boring and cramped subjects like basic swordsmanship, aura training, and physical training.”

Of course, there were also a few liberal arts courses run by other departments. You could say that it was more meaningful than you thought, and you could think that you entered the academy and learned useless things again.

Perhaps reading the thoughts of the cadets, Gawain looked at them with a grin.

“There is a way to skip all these boring lessons.”

“What is that… ?”

“Simple. All you have to do is win a game from me.”

Gawain said as he glared at Kyle. Upon meeting Gawain’s eyes, Kyle realized that the system was created for him.

If the class is boring, the advice is to show your strength and skip it confidently. Kyle smiled and looked at Gawain.

The other cadets, thinking Gawain was joking, let out an ahh-sigh. Asking the master to win a game was beyond harsh and impossible for a mediocre cadet.

“Okay then, this is the end of OT. And Kyle Meyer.”

“Yes, old man.”

“You follow me.”

Kyle got up and went to the front of the classroom. When he was called directly by Gawain, a look of jealousy and curiosity flew at him.

Gazes as if what the hell are you being called by that person- Kyle ignored those gazes and left the classroom with Gawain.

As soon as they came out into the hallway, Kyle opened his mouth on the back of Gawain’s head.

“Inspired. Isn’t that too much? If you pull all the aggro like this, what will you do with your school life?”

“—I don’t think you are a great person to care about such a thing.”

“There is such a thing as degree, right?”

When Kyle answered bluntly, Gawain looked at him as if Kyle, who cared about such things, was curious in reverse.

When you become a Master, you will become an existence that is slightly out of line with the notions of the secular world. Because with the power of an individual, it becomes a being that can wipe out a group or an army.

But Kyle wasn’t like that at all. He was trying to become a master and hang out with ordinary people. Is it because he became a Master at such a young age and doesn’t know the world? … .

“If you have any complaints, fight here.”

“Who do you plan to turn into an elder abuser? Please tell me something quickly.”

“—The principal called.”

“The headmaster?”

Hearing that the principal had called him, Kyle tilted his head in puzzlement. The only time I met the principal was during the entrance ceremony, a ceremony that I don’t even remember how it went.

The principal who has never met before or told you something is calling you?

“What is it?”

“I don’t know. Didn’t even tell me Well, at best it’s about your true identity.”

“I’m hiding it for now.”

“Why?”

“My father-in-law told me to do that.”

“Hmm… … That’s a big deal.”

Passing by Gawain, who had already entered the grave of life and looked at himself being swayed by his wife’s family, with a pitiful gaze, Kyle arrived in front of the principal’s office.

Knock- When Gawain knocks, the principal’s voice heard during the smoking ceremony is heard from inside. As I opened the door and entered, Kyle was greeted by the headmaster with a thick beard.

“Hey hey, come on. Ah, Sir Gawain. Thank you. You may go back now.”

“Enough then.”

Gawain, who had guided Kyle to the principal’s office, quickly left, and Kyle, left alone with the principal, settled down on the sofa and looked at the principal.

The principal looked at Kyle and stroked his beard, then sat down in front of Kyle with a laugh.

“Cadet Kyle Meyer. I heard the story from His Excellency the Duke.”

“What?”

“The fact that you are the Master. And the fact that he is hiding it.”

“Oh, I thought that was a secret.”

When I asked why he told the principal such a thing, the principal smiled and replied that it was a fact known not only to himself but also to others.

“This news must have reached not only me, but His Majesty the Emperor as well.”

“Yeah- Our duke is spreading rumors everywhere.”

“These are the people you need to know. As the head of the academy, I have the duty and right to know and manage everything.”

The headmaster said that and his eyes twinkled. Inside his pupils, a blue glowing mana was pulsating.

The moment our eyes met, Kyle instinctively raised his aura as he felt the flow of magical power penetrating his body.

The two eyes filled with aura and magic collided in the air, and soon disappeared like snow melting.

“… … You have the skills to be a principal.”

“I wish it were a joke—to throw a burden on this old man in his later years.”

“It’s a load… .”

Kyle let out a wry smile when he saw the principal treating him like a piece of baggage thrown down by the duke. The headmaster stopped stroking his beard and opened his mouth to look at Kyle.

“—If a Master has an accident, it can only be stopped by the same Master, so it’s a lot of baggage.”

“I don’t mean to.”

“Whoa, can you understand? As you get older, worry tends to increase.”

After saying that, the principal made eye contact with Kyle once more and warned.

“If possible, I hope you don’t let people know that you are a Master.”

“What if you let me know?”

“Of course— I have no choice but to expel him.”

The principal muttered threateningly with fierce eyes. When the principal said that he would be expelled, Kyle responded in a way that seemed like how could that be possible.

“No, a cadet said he wanted to attend the academy, but he was expelled?”

“Realistically- what would you teach the Master? Having a master as a cadet is the same as having a professor as a student.”

“… … I have nothing to say when I say that.”

However, as the principal said – it was true that even if he was expelled, he would have nothing to refute. If rumors spread that Master attended the academy as a cadet rather than a professor, it wouldn’t be a level of uproar.

‘Even if it’s like me, they’ll say what nonsense you’re talking about.’

Perhaps nobles all over the country will try to placate them by any means and means. It would be quite annoying and prevent you from enjoying life as an academy cadet properly.

If that happens, it’s practically the same as being expelled. Even though the principal said so strongly, it means that he is a person who is for himself in the end.

“All right. If that’s the case, I’ll try to hide being a master.”

“Please.”

Kyle left the principal’s office, swearing that he would keep his promise to the principal.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

No matter what happens, I will always keep the secret.

There was a time when I thought

“No, no way… … .”

Watching the cadet staring at me shivering, I realized I had made a mistake. Wargame props were scattered in front of him.

‘ah… … I should have been gentle.’
