The Academy’s Savage Swordsman

21. Red Fruit (1)

A week has passed since the academy officially started the semester.

It’s time for most of the cadets to adjust to the academy, make friends and promote friendship… … There were still some cadets who couldn’t adapt to the academy.

It was mainly talented commoners. No matter how talented he was, he couldn’t catch up with the skills of other nobles in a week – so the commoners were despised and envied.

Some aristocrats said they had to create an inferior class and conduct classes separately because the class was not progressing because of the commoners.

Of course, such an opinion could not be accepted in an academy based on equality——but even in such an academy, it did not stop nobles from ignoring commoners.

Liber was one of those cadets who was so neglected.

“Damn, DAMN- DAMD DAMN… … .”

He was a commoner who caught the eye of a knight passing through the village, received a letter of recommendation from the academy, challenged the academy, and passed the exam——but contrary to his expectations, life at the academy was extremely difficult.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

No cadets directly bullied him in the academy, but most of the cadets ignored him as a commoner.

I was really sensitive to the human mind, so I could feel the pain enough even if it wasn’t direct harassment.

“f*ck-!”

Poo-! River kicked the lamppost next to the bench with his foot. The streetlights were intact, without any shaking, and he felt pain only in his poor feet——but Liber couldn’t hold back his anger and continued to curse.

“f*ck, B*tch… You punks!… What did I do so wrong… … .”

He had a talent.

Luckily, he met Gein and entered the academy.

He thought that a bright future was waiting for him.

In reality it didn’t. That gap tormented River. I wanted to get out of this pain right away. He also knew very well how.

he has to grow up All you have to do is catch up with the other cadets, get over them, and jump them. In that case, the nobles who had been ignoring him would reach out to him as usual.

Even if you growled yesterday, it was noble to smile and present flowers today if it would benefit you.

‘How? What do you mean?’

However, if he had such an overwhelming talent, River would never have suffered so much. What he was given was a level of talent that would be called a moderate genius.

And the most common thing to see in the academy was that genius.

“It’s a pity, Mr. Baal… … .”

“Who is there?”

River, who was sitting alone on a bench and swearing, turned his head in the direction the voice came from, startled. In the darkness without street lights, someone was approaching us.

Maybe it was the dormitory superintendent or the academy instructor, but River, feeling a bit afraid, trembled and waited for the man in the dark to approach.

Moments later, when he saw the man appearing from the darkness, River let out a sigh of relief. The one who spoke to him was a senior in the 2nd year of the Engineering Department. It’s a scary enough existence, but not to the extent of an instructor or professor.

“What are you doing here alone?”

“… … it’s nothing. Seniors.”

“yes? You seem to be worried about something.”

After saying that, the senior sat down next to River with a smile. When the sky-like senior sat next to me, Liber was shocked, but the senior calmed him down by waving his hands as if telling him not to do that.

“Do you think you won’t be able to keep up with class?”

“… … .”

“I was the most outstanding genius in the village, but coming here, I’m just a cadet, so my pride is hurt a lot?”

“How can I… .”

River looked at the senior with surprised eyes. He smiled and told me why.

“I did too. It’s Damian Lotos. 2nd grade.”

“Ah, this is River. Senior Damian.”

“What I’m thinking about right now is… … Is it a problem?”

Damian began to reason about River’s troubles as if he had gone through the same thing. Surprisingly, when he correctly pointed out the problem he was experiencing, River’s eyes widened.

“yes. Come on. When I first learned it, I struggled with how the heck to learn it.”

“… Even though you were a noble?”

“Ah, a noble in name only. There is no reasonable breathing method or family support.”

Damian scratched his cheek and said so, revealing his circumstances. When I was young, there was nothing to eat, so I went hunting in the back mountain. I have also eaten tree trunks. Stories about how he was an aristocrat and how ugly he was holding expensive jewelry.

Liber, realizing that nobles also have their own difficulties, began to loosen their guard little by little. Seeing River let down his guard, Damian cautiously opened his mouth.

“—If there was a way to solve that problem, what would you do?”

“Can you solve the problem… … .”

“If there was a way to realize the Aura very easily, it would be what would you do?”

Damian said as he put his hand into my chest. Then he took out a small glass bottle and held it. It contained something like a red fruit, but Liber had never seen anything so red in his life.

A bright red fruit that looks like it was made with human blood. Liber couldn’t take his eyes off the fruit. Seeing Liber like that, Damian grinned.

“This fruit is a fruit that allows you to feel your aura.”

“Well, do you have such a fruit?”

“yes.”

“then… Then why don’t nobles use it… .”

“It is very precious. Extremely.”

It is said that it is close to a fallen nobleman, but it is a fruit that Damian, an aristocrat, says is expensive—— Liber couldn’t imagine how much this fruit would be worth.

Knock- Damian opened the lid of the glass bottle containing the fruit and placed the fruit on Liber’s hand.

“eat.”

“Yes Yes? No, you said you were very precious?”

“yes. precious I don’t have a few either. But… … No matter how precious an item is, it should be used for someone who needs it.”

Liber, who heard his words, gulped down his saliva and looked at the fruit in his hand. If you eat this, just eat——you can feel the aura.

“… … why.”

“yes?”

“Why are you being so nice to me when I first saw you?”

But I didn’t put it in my mouth right away. He wasn’t very knowledgeable, but he wasn’t arrogant either. He knew very well that there was no reason for a stranger to give him this precious fruit and treat him well.

“Do you need a reason to help someone in need?”

“No matter what—”

“Oh, of course it’s not free.”

“… No money.”

“I am not asking for money.”

But.

“You too, someday, help someone in need like this. That is the price I want.”

It was also a state where they were concentrated to the extent that they did not feel strange about Damian’s nobility and chivalry.

Impressed by a figure he had never imagined——a figure worthy of noblesse oblige, generously using what he had for the weak, Liber burst into tears and poured the fruit into his mouth.

Moments later, Liber shuddered as he felt an aura build up in his body.

“Hey, this is it… … .”

“congratulation. You are now a comer user.”

The corner of Damian’s mouth when he said that was a smile.

Seeing that smile, Liber vowed to dedicate everything to this senior and to live like this senior.

“Hey Arthur. Do you have work after today?”

“uh? no. Why?”

“Let’s go shopping.”

After entering the academy, as time passed, the cadets each started to have friends they liked. Being of the same mind here is usually based on having a good family and excellent skills.

I have a good family and better skills, so I was able to get close to the kids through go-go-go, but Arthur was the one I mostly hung out with. The eyes of the other nobles who saw him hanging out with commoners were not good, but… … It wasn’t my knowledge.

More than anything.

‘It’s this guy who’s at least on the same level.’

Both skills and looks.

Among the cadets in the first year of the Knight’s Department, there were only three who could at least take my sword. Hundred, Arthur, and a cadet whose name I don’t remember.

One cadet whose name I don’t remember was already hanging out with the nobles that I liked, and since Hundred wasn’t cheap——there was no choice but to leave Arthur alone.

Fortunately, Arthur wasn’t too reluctant to hang out with me. Although it caused a game every time I sounded gay.

“Why? What can I buy?”

“dessert.”

“dessert?”

“Yeah, someone asked me to buy it… … It’s embarrassing to go alone.”

“Are you taking care of your fiancé? You really are a lover.”

Actually, it was a gift to another woman, but I shook my head. Arthur nodded as if he understood. After school, I headed out of the academy with Arthur.

Dairos Academy consisted of the academy’s main building, which could only be used by cadets, instructors, and professors, and the academy enclave surrounding the main building.

Just a step away from the academy, numerous shops built for academy cadets lure cadets. The dessert shop was one of them.

Arriving in front of the dessert shop, Arthur hesitated for a moment in front of the entrance and hesitated to go inside.

“But, Kyle. i don’t have money… … .”

“Do you think I will call you and ask you to buy it? Don’t let me buy you something.”

“yes?”

At the word that he would buy me dessert, Arthur smiled and went straight into the store. Inside the store, there were countless female cadets who ran straight to the dessert shop after class.

I realized for the first time today that there are so many women among the academy cadets. There were a few female cadets in the Knights Division, but since it was a one-point concept, most of them kept their distance.

“Wow… … .”

“What, are you- this is your first time here?”

“yes! Are you coming for the first time?”

“Ah, he was a commoner.”

After seeing Arthur exaggerating his exclamation at the dessert shop, he burst out laughing and went straight to the checkout to pay for the cake.

Arthur said he had never seen it before and tried to order a bunch of cakes, but today’s goal was to visit all the cake houses in the Academy Territory, so he only bought one.

“I will eat well.”

“OK.”

Arthur, who ate a cake in an instant, managed to steal half of the cake I ordered.

I sighed and got up, and Arthur licked the cream off his lips before following up.

We went around like that with the momentum to conquer all the dessert shops in the Academy Territory. Often, in the case of a store with too many people, it was delayed and conquered dozens of cakes.

“Oh, I’m full.”

“It’s a bit lacking… … .”

“what?”

On the way back to the academy, barely holding back the gnawing feeling in my stomach all day, Arthur turned his gaze into the alleyway.

I turned my head into the alleyway after him and saw someone staggering into the alleyway.

“That… … .”

“Why? who?”

“… … We are in the same class. River.”

“Oh, was there such a child?”

When I asked again with a tilt of my head, Arthur looked at me as if he was serious.

With a shrug, Arthur began to explain the Liber he knew.

“He’s a kid whose skills have suddenly improved a while ago. The kids were very curious about how I improved my skills in such a short period of time.”

“You must be a genius.”

“… … It has become stronger at a speed that is simply indescribable. He probably has something secret.”

“What, some drugs?”

He came up with this because he seemed like a drug addict, staggering around the back alleys a little bit, but when Arthur heard that, he must have thought of something and immediately followed after Liber into the alley.

I, who was scratching the back of my head watching Arthur lead the way without a discussion, sighed and followed him.

We secretly followed River, and River, who entered the alleyway, was overly conscious of the gazes around him, and soon encountered a woman who appeared to be a prostitute.

“Knight.”

“hahahaha-.”

“Welcome.”

Liber, who met the prostitute, immediately shared a fierce kiss, and Arthur, who saw the naked sound and appearance, looked at the scene with his mouth wide open.

Realizing why Lieber secretly entered the back alley while being conscious of others’ eyes, I looked at Arthur and said,

“I did have a secret.”

“… … yes.”

Realizing it was no big deal, we exited the back alley and headed to the academy. Then it is. Even though I don’t have a very good memory, I do remember who was the first enemy to invade the academy.

It was definitely Dejawa or Demigrass. not Liber.

‘I’m not a jerk, so I wonder if you’ll confuse that.’

Even after that, he had seen the ending of the first round of Dairos Academy.

I knew at least a rough outline of how this world worked.

* * *

River suddenly shouted, pushing away the prostitute who had been kissing him.

“Ha ha ha- what is it all of a sudden… … .”

“… … Looks like he’s gone.”

The prostitute wiped her lips and glared at Liber. Liber, realizing what she meant, looked at the prostitute in amazement.

“Oh no! What I brought!”

“I guess it’s true that I followed you… … Well, seeing as they just went, it could have been their friends.”

“There is no such thing… .”

“Oh, is making friends really important?”

“Everyone, shut up! Don’t give me advice!”

Liber shouted out loud and reached out his hand toward the prostitute with trembling eyes.

“Give me… … medicine, medicine… … .”

“It’s not a drug, it’s a fruit. fruit of life. Scarlett.”

“Because that’s it, quickly… … .”

The prostitute grinned and took out a glass bottle from between her breastbones. There were several scarlets the size of a seed inside.

Seeing Scarlett, Liber was blinded and tried to snatch him away from the prostitute, but he was not taken away so easily.

Looking at the eyes that were panting and coveting Scarlett, the prostitute secretly raised the corner of her mouth.

“Did you do everything you were told to do?”

“I did, I did. Because I did… … .”

“like. If you do a good job, you should be rewarded.”

Pong! After opening the cap, the prostitute handed over one scarlet egg to River. River shuddered as he immediately shoved Scarlett into his mouth.

The energy of life that fills the body. I can’t live without this anymore

The prostitute looked at Liber, who was drunk with Scarlett, and evaluated him as a truly pathetic man. How can you survive only a few days and fall like this?

‘Well, it doesn’t matter to us.’

I don’t care too much whether a mere commoner cadet is broken or not.

The important thing was to achieve a great cause.
