Episode 19. Mutuje (14)
“You. Didn’t you have a master? Why is he in that arena….”
“… Master, no. You are my cousin.”
“Your cousin?”
Is there a bit of an age gap between cousins?
You look older than I thought.
“Yes…. I have to die for my children this month.”
Ah. Understood.
Your cousin, who has served as your teacher until now, has to go back to her parents’ house, so ask me to act as her teacher instead, right?
It’s a better choice than you think.
You can continue to receive instruction within the academy, and you will know well because you have experienced my powers firsthand.
“But I am not a prosecutor?”
The only thing I learned about swords was when I was very young.
That’s about the basic posture.
I can’t even remember it well now.
“I don’t need swordsmanship.”
“Then?”
“Everything except swordsmanship.”
Hmm.
I see what you mean.
There are things to learn in swordsmanship, whether it’s from your family or something else.
“How much per month?”
“What? Are you saying that even this is not enough?”
“Yes.”
“…Are you crazy?”
I don’t know how to put it into words anyway.
I have no choice but to show it with my body.
Get up from your seat.
In a corner of a room where there is nothing, ‘create’ a suitable partner there.
Paul just looks at me without saying a word.
I don’t know what you’re doing.
The me of 2 years ago when I ‘made’ it.
A good opponent for light sparring in the room.
He gets angry at me.
Raise your voice and rush at me.
A guy who dodges lightly with a slip and excellently blocks river blows with parrying.
A quick response with a body jab is quickly evaded by weaving.
The workshops come and go like that two or three times in a row.
He never gets tired.
The guy can’t let go of his anger.
Dodge and slash everything from the tireless rage mass to crush the guy.
It took less than two minutes for him to kneel.
“You…. This…. What is this… ? Magic? Is it magic?”
After the fight, Foul’s concentration broke.
“Ah, this is a shadow fight.”
That’s something you can’t do.
“The guy I dealt with. Isn’t that a bit familiar?”
“… It must have been you. I saw it with my own eyes, but it disappeared at some point…. What is this? What did you do?”
Foul asked excitedly.
If you’ve seen this for the first time, it’s not unreasonable to mistake it for magic.
“I just imagined the enemy in front of me and dealt with it.”
“…Do you think that makes sense?”
“Why not?”
“This can’t be….”
“You saw it right in front of you, right?”
“… Didn’t he use some kind of magic?”
“How am I?”
“Ah…. Artifact?”
“Tsk. Have you ever heard of an artifact that has this function?”
“…Then how did you do it?”
“Aren’t you going to tell me?”
“Why?!”
Paul was angry as if he had been betrayed.
What. Understanding goes.
If you don’t tell me about something magical unfolding right in front of you, you’ll get angry.
“I’m only going to tell my students.”
“… I know your skills well. But that’s a separate issue.”
“Why?”
“… I don’t have the money to give someone as talented as you….”
Ah…. Marquis Schmidt…. You’re a little poor.
Doesn’t make sense?
Even if I sold this villa alone, more than 100,000 gold would be created there.
You can give me something like this, but you have no money?
“…The villa was my birthday present.”
“Awesome.”
“And…. It’s because of you.”
“Me?”
I was taken aback this time.
Why is it because of me that he has no money?
“Because I lost to you…. My father cut off all of my support so I could get married or something.”
“… Gee.”
There are nobles like that.
Idiots who can’t tolerate their children’s failures and get angry.
I didn’t know that a great nobleman like Marquis Schmidt would be such an idiot.
“I can go to the academy with the pocket money I’ve saved so far….”
“You don’t have much spare money, right?”
“…Yes”
For me, it’s surprising that the pocket money I’ve saved up is enough to attend the academy.
Am I getting hundreds of times the pocket money I received when I was in the count’s family….
“Then let’s do it on credit.”
“Trauma?”
“Yes. Because someone as skilled as I can’t teach for free.”
“That…. Thank you, but….”
This is an act without morality.
If I teach without being paid, all the other teachers will be bad guys who teach people for money.
It’s not like you can go anywhere and become a real teacher.
“Twice a week. Excluding weekends. I will come here every Tuesday/Wednesday evening.”
“…Only 2 episodes?”
“It should be enough.”
“If it were you, that would be it.”
Fortunately, I readily agree.
Twice a week is too much to teach me properly, but I don’t have enough time.
Still, I have no intention of teaching Hurturu.
My biggest concern is whether a foul will follow.
“Uh…. Then, from now on, Master….”
“Just call me Nico. I’ll just call it a foul.”
At this age, to be called Master by classmates.
Where it just feels like a penalty.
“Yes. Thanks.”
“What? I’ll be sure to bill you later, so remember that.”
I don’t know when I’ll pay it back.
As I said, it’s not bad to pile up a debt like this.
No. Rather good.
It’s entirely up to me how to pay off this debt.
***************************
Three preliminaries, three finals.
After that, 4 people with the best results are selected to fight.
The semi-finals, then the finals.
An honorable place with only 4 students per grade.
Every student selected here is guaranteed to have a place in the empire one day.
With the belief that it has been so, and will continue to be so in the future.
And I am the one who has risen to that honored position.
Thanks to that, the gossip about me disappeared a bit.
If you were a simple nerd, you would never have been selected as one of those 4 people.
It’s like he’s become an idiot who can’t easily get into a fight on the street.
“Are you that Nico Kruger Youngsik?”
Though such assholes do exist.
“What if?”
“This body is Lucas, the second son of the great Count Leonhard. I challenge you to a duel!”
Ah….
Yes. I must have.
Of these four people, I must have looked the most easygoing.
That’s why some idiot wants to show off his might by defeating me.
The family of Count Leonhard is famous for its military strength.
The Count is also a skilled player, and this guy’s older brother is also a skilled player in his own way.
Besides, it’s a family with a reputation for fairness….
Surprisingly, such an asshole sometimes appears.
“Haa…. Let’s do it duel.”
It’s school rules, it’s nabal, and it’s too hard to just pass by when you see such an idiot.
I’ll instill manners.
“Ha ha ha. You don’t back down like a coward!”
“Come on. Start!”
“What?!”
Boom!!
I jumped at the panicked guy and hit him on the head.
“Kuuk.”
Oh. A bit tight
You won’t fall down in one hit.
You can’t tell if it’s a stone head or a stone head because it’s so hard.
“You bastard! Cowardly?!”
“Is there anything cowardly in fighting? What do you think you learned wrong?”
Not a fight, but a duel between nobles.
What. If I feel like a fight, it’s a fight.
It’s not a proper duel, it’s a fight that guy has been fighting over.
“aaah!! Kill it!!!”
The guy finally drew his sword.
It was too slow and the format was messy, so it was hard to watch, but what can I do?
As of right now, I’m your teacher.
The etiquette teacher.
Ferberbug!!!
He hit the stomach, neck, and philtrum in turn.
Wouldn’t this be enough for etiquette education?
“Oooh”
…. I did not pass out and endured.
Although I was throwing up, I put my fists in my hands, but I still survived the 3 consecutive hits that entered the vital point without fainting or even collapsing.
What is this bastard? I didn’t even defend properly, so I endured this?
I have to beat it one more time….
“Stop!!”
The wild leaders appeared.
Come a little late….
********************
“Nico is always busy.”
“Ha ha ha… ….”
As soon as the leading members confirmed my appearance, they brought Maya.
I thought you’d be called out in the midst of your busy schedule and get angry….
Maya is smiling.
A pure smile that doesn’t show any anger or anger.
On the contrary, that’s why I’m scared….
“Don’t worry about this. I will take care of it myself.”
“I’m sorry. Maya.”
“Where do you feel sorry for the people you love? Everything is fine.”
“Ha ha ha… ….”
Please, I just want you to be angry.
I wish I could just get angry and get annoyed like I did when I was caught before.
I don’t even know why laughing like that is scary….
“Nico.”
“Yes. Maya.”
“Do you love me?”
“Yes?”
“Do you love me?”
I am speechless.
I need to say something right away, but I can’t get the words out of my throat.
“Nico?”
“That…. Yes?”
“Me. Are you in love?”
“Four…. Love….”
“Yes? I can not hear you well. What did you say?”
“Love…. Bout… ….”
“Nico? A little bit louder. Please speak clearly.”
“I love you!!!”
Under the pressure Maya gave her, she finally cried out.
That word.
That too in front of everyone.
“Oh my God. You love me so much, I love you too. Nico.”
Maya was smiling all the way.
