Helmut
Episode 77
“okay? “A little while ago, you said you looked confident.”
“Well, I’m not that sure. I remember Jerome handing out all of her notes, but… … .”
“You can’t trust your own memory, is this it?”
“Yes, yes! “That’s it.”
“But with that incredible memory, did you take your friend’s side by accusing him of being a liar?”
“I believe in Jerome… … “It occurred to me that I might have remembered what I wanted to believe.”
Eren answered as if he was squeezing. He belonged to the brain wave axis in the swordsmanship department.
When Instructor Patricia responded, a plausible excuse was made.
“I see, this is what Eren thinks. What do you guys think?”
“Well, I’m the same as Eren!”
Sabat gritted his teeth and agreed.
“So you’re not sure enough to warrant dropping out?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Okay, then that leaves you alone. Jerome, is your memory clear enough to warrant dropping out? “You clearly said you delivered his note.”
Patricia stared straight into Jerome’s eyes as if this was her last chance. Jerome’s white lips moved.
“I am… … .”
“Can’t you hear me?”
“Me too, I’m not sure… … not.”
“So you’re saying you may not have given the note to Helmut?”
“No, it wasn’t intentional. “I think I definitely gave it to everyone, but there may be people who left it out.”
“‘Obviously’ is not the word to use in such cases. What’s clear is that you’ve put your classmates in trouble, even if it wasn’t intentional!”
Patricia raised her voice. As her husky voice became accusatory, Jerome lowered his head.
Everyone except one looked at this scene with bated breath.
“Now, do you know what I have to say? “All three?”
“If you have to say something… … .”
Patricia raised her voice as if she was frustrated.
“Guys, how did you pass the moral test?”
When Helmut heard those words, he felt a prick.
“In this situation caused by your misunderstandings and distorted memories, shouldn’t you apologize to Helmut, who suffered harm? is not it?”
“Well, that is.”
It was impossible to have to apologize to a commoner.
The faces of the three people, who were faced with a situation they had never imagined in their lives, are now starting to turn pale. Instructor Patricia scolded.
“Can’t you? “Do you mean, gentlemen, that you have no intention of apologizing for your mistakes?”
If I said yes, it seemed like they would at least give me some mental education. And that too forever. The rest of my life at the academy will be very difficult.
“Oh, no.”
“I apologize.”
They looked dead and approached Helmut.
“sorry.”
It was faint, like the sound of a mosquito buzzing.
“You couldn’t even eat blood porridge? “What’s wrong with your voice?”
“sorry!”
“Sorry.”
“I was wrong.”
Three voices overlapped. Instructor Patricia slapped her palms together with a smile.
“Come on, Helmut. You should also accept the apology from your classmates. “In an adult way.”
I didn’t really want to accept it and wanted me to drop out.
However, I felt an unspoken pressure from Instructor Patricia’s sharp eyes. Helmut reluctantly nodded his head.
“okay.”
“Actually, it would be a bit awkward for this instructor to even bring up dropping out because of this issue. I apologized and received an apology. So, for now, it is a matter that has been concluded. “The truth was revealed before we reached the ‘Eye of Truth.’”
The three boys who were trying to corner Helmut internally sighed in relief.
I was boiling inside because I had to endure the humiliation and bow my head in front of the swordsmanship students, but I was able to overcome the crisis for now. No, it seemed like I passed it.
“But I don’t think it’s enough to just apologize. So, I think 100 laps around the playground would be a good punishment. What do you think?”
Helmut, who was pointed out by Patricia, thought for a moment and said.
“It’s too easy.”
All three eyes were focused on Helmut. The look in his eyes makes me want to curse.
However, when Instructor Patricia glanced at them, she lowered her gaze as if dead.
“Is 100 laps easy for you?”
“yes.”
Helmut answered without hesitation this time. For Helmut, it was a bit out of breath.
Instructor Patricia was shocked, but asked while stroking her chin.
“Then how about 100 laps for three days?”
It is impossible to make it spin more than 100 times a day.
Even if you are a strong swordsman, your body will not be able to endure it if you take classes all day long.
Instructor Patricia narrowed her eyes. This means that you should be satisfied with this and move on.
Helmut pretended not to win.

“I will.”
Patricia smiled contentedly.
“Okay, it’s concluded. “There you guys!”
“yes!”
“If something like this happens again, I will recognize that a serious situation is taking place in the swordsmanship department that is highly dishonorable and violates Greta Academy rules. If that happens, the parties involved will have to take responsibility, right?”
I didn’t say I was a party. What this means is that no matter how many people there are, they will be held accountable.
Instructor Patricia’s eyes were sharp. As an academy instructor, she had experienced this similar situation many times.
Three years ago, five students, including a member of the royal family, were expelled from the swordsmanship department for repeatedly making discriminatory remarks.
There are no exceptions. No matter who the opponent is. That was the policy and spirit of Greta Academy.
The three of them couldn’t even raise their heads under Patricia’s sharp eyes.
“Let everyone listen! There can be no discrimination based on status in our academy. It’s the same whether you’re a royal family, a nobleman, or a commoner. If you don’t want to follow that, you have to leave the academy. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.”
“And you don’t have to be silky, but you should have a generous heart to take care of your transferred classmates, right?”
“yes!”
“Okay, I think you understand. “The three of you are now going to run 100 laps around the playground!”
The three of them ran out onto the playground in fear, and Helmut joined the students of the swordsmanship department.
Patricia resumed class after a brief delay.
“Today we practice basic movements. “With the mindset of starting over again!”
“yes!”
As she walked around the students holding a wooden sword and repeatedly cutting vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, Patricia observed their posture.
“Your back balance is off, did you have fun during vacation?”
“shoulder! “Your shoulders are tilted to one side!”
“The tip of the sword is shaking. “Have you developed hydrops?”
She was walking around spouting out harsh words, but her words disappeared in front of Helmut.
Instructor Patricia, who had been staring at his movements intently as if trying to catch him, scratched her head sheepishly and passed by.
“Well, you’re doing well.”
In terms of swordsmanship, Helmut was flawless. Because he was taught by a terrible teacher who did not tolerate the slightest mistake or distraction.
After training continued for over an hour, instructor Patricia declared a 10-minute break.
The students of the swordsmanship department who had trained each other gathered together with those who were close to each other.
In that atmosphere, Helmut was an exception. And there was one more exception.
“Hey, I didn’t know you would really come out like that. “This is a fun guy.”
The crazy dog approached and started laughing loudly. Instructor Patricia, who was nearby, reprimanded him.
“Asuka, be careful what you say!”
“Yes, yes. Okay, instructor. “Because I’m a commoner, I can’t really change my speaking habits.”
“You went to the academy for a year, right?”
“Isn’t it getting better now that you don’t have to talk to nobles anymore?”
“If you put it in water, its mouth will water!”
In the end, Instructor Patricia hit Asuka on the head and returned to her original position.
“sick!”
Asuka frowned and rubbed her head.
What a self-indulgent guy he is. Both Cian and Leah had that kind of side to them, but Asuka seemed to be living half of her life without her mind.
It was even wilder than the Helmut that grew up in the forest of Pahe.
Asuka acted like she was being treated as a commoner, but in reality she started picking fights with everyone.
Looking at his words and actions that arouse hostility, it is in some ways understandable that swordsmanship students think negatively about commoners.
“Anyway, I liked you.”
Asuka said, pointing her index finger at Helmut.
“We are keeping an eye on the future.”
It was questionable whether he was trying to turn things around by asking us to become friends like Sian.
What do you mean by paying attention to it? Asuka started talking randomly and turned around. She was nearing the end of her break.
***
That day was meaningful to Helmut as well. He won over his opponent with words rather than violence.
The three losers will be afraid to wake up the next day after running around the playground for three days.
But the situation got worse. For now, it seemed like that was the end of the story, but the atmosphere in the second year of the swordsmanship department was unfavorable to Helmut.
Yesterday’s incident was transformed into something like ‘Three nobles had to bow their heads because of the tricks of a commoner like a scum.’
In any case, the nobility was on the side of the nobility.
Helmut was dismissed as a smart-ass commoner who made a fuss in class and embarrassed his classmates over trivial matters.
And at the center of that atmosphere were transfer students, including Sabat and Aaron, and hard-headed existing students.
Ironically, they seemed to have become more united after that incident.
Among the transfer students, Andro was the only one who got along well with them but did not get along with the atmosphere.
However, after Instructor Patricia’s warning, it was easy to get started right away.
Moreover, a crazy dog was circling Helmut for some reason.
It didn’t seem like they were very close, seeing as they were just hanging around and not saying a word.
Asuka, the crazy dog, wandered nearby like a wild dog that had caught Helmut’s delicious scent.
Among the group of Sabbats gathered for class, one guy muttered quietly.
“Befitting commoners, they suit their level.”
“what?”
Asuka, who has bright ears, reacted right away and approached me with a grumpy look.
The smiling face was gone, but there was venom in the eyes. He had an attitude of not caring at all no matter how many opponents there were.
Asuka’s targeted opponent flinched. Although he is a transfer student, he has also heard rumors about Asuka. It was best to avoid her mad dog.
“Nothing!”
“Hey, hey. Instead of muttering from a distance, talk in front of me. “What did you bark at?”
Asuka stabbed him in the stomach with the tip of the wooden sword. Jerome stopped.
“Asuka, take it easy!”
“Just do it in moderation. Just do it in moderation. “This guy started the fight first.”
“Do you want to be suspended from school again?”
“Worry about yourself. They say it’s quite a sight to see them running around the playground until their butts are on fire while making modifications? “The sight of you sweating and panting was a bit impressive, wasn’t it?”
His sarcastic skills were definitely the best in the swordsmanship department.
“This is real!”
Despite shouting, Jerome could not swing the wooden sword at him. It was the same for the other guys too.
Asuka was actually the top 2nd year student in the swordsmanship department. He was also good at fighting.
Jerome was well aware of his strength in taking on Five alone.
Asuka continued speaking while looking at Jerome.
“If you guys heard it, commoners, commoners, go around singing songs? “Commoners who hear this feel bad.”
“Asuka, you!”
“Wow, you even know this commoner’s name. “Noble Lord.”
Jerome said, controlling his twitching expression.
“Class is about to start. “The instructor is coming.”
“Yes, you should pay attention to the instructor. “I’ll also warn you one thing.”
Asuka turned to face Jerome. He whispered with a smiling face.
“Just keep acting like a dick, okay? If you keep doing that, I’m going to really f*ck you all up.”
As he turned and disappeared, Jerome frowned and smoothed his face. It was to relieve the rising anger.
