Helmut
Episode 84
It was an extremely calm and emotionless voice. However, it had a strange power to it that caught my attention.
Everyone’s attention turned to Helmut.
The clash between Asuka and Sabat’s gang was now an interesting spectacle. The swordsmanship students who were watching murmured.
At the swordsmanship department, Helmut was a boy with an aristocratic appearance and an unapproachable aura.
I heard that he was a talented guy, but students in the swordsmanship department had no opportunity to truly witness his skills.
He has good basic skills and is usually quiet, but he has a surprisingly talkative personality and is always expressionless.
Maybe it was because he was a commoner, but maybe it was because his eyes and hair were pitch black, so even though he looked good enough to be liked, I felt reluctant for some reason.
Asuka was the only one in the swordsmanship department who approached him without hesitation.
They soon realized that Helmut was having an argument.
Because of what Helmut said after taking a quick look at the Sabbat gang.
“It doesn’t matter who it is. “The result will be the same anyway.”
Rather than a provocative tone, it was a casual tone that seemed to tell the truth as it is. That made it sound more sarcastic.
The Sabbat gang, who had been secretly ignoring Helmut, were dumbfounded.
“what?”
“Do you think hanging around with Asuka will do anything to you?”
“You don’t have a mental problem, do you?”
Although they pretend to be relaxed and sarcastic, they step out one by one as if they are excited.
Helmut nodded and continued speaking.
“There are eight of you. It’s okay to attack them all. “It’s a characteristic of weak people to form groups.”
“Okay, I do it!”
Sabat gritted his teeth and took the lead. I don’t know what you believe and talk like you’re proud, but there’s no need to put up with it.
I heard warnings about him being a crazy dog, so don’t mess with him, that he was actually the top student in the swordsmanship department, and that he even added a story from last year, but it never occurred to him that he would lose to that handsome commoner with blue hair.
I just endured it because of the dissuasion from those around me.
Helmut asked with his usual attitude.
“Are you going to do it alone?”
“This bastard is real!”
Sabat, who was raising his wooden sword, was stopped by those around him.
“Whoa, Sabbat, calm down. “Just scold me and come.”
“It could be a ploy to get you excited and prevent you from showing off your skills, right?”
“There is nothing for you to respond to. “Anyway, as soon as we start sparring, I’ll be getting beaten up by your wooden sword.”
Sabbat’s skills were among the highest among second-year swordsmanship students.
After entering the academy, I gained confidence in my skills while sparring with the swordsman department students.
There was no way he could lose to a commoner who didn’t even come from a sword family. That’s a certainty. That confidence spread not only to myself but also to those around me.
“Follow me!”
Sabbat shouted and headed towards Instructor Alan. Helmut followed suit and moved his feet.
Asuka grumbled dissatisfied.
“Are you trying to have fun alone?”
But his eyes were keenly examining Helmut.
‘I didn’t really see the actions taken to deal with the attackers at that time.’
I really want to see this guy’s skills. It was because of that curiosity that I followed Helmut around.
Helmut answered calmly.
“I’ll do your part too.”
“I do not need. Because I will do my part. But, please punish me properly.”
Asuka listened to Helmut’s ear and gave him tips on sparring. It will be very helpful.
‘Now that I think about it, I don’t think I can watch this guy spar.’
Since everyone in the swordsmanship department will be sparring, Asuka will end up sparring with anyone left.
Those stone-headed guys seem to have forgotten, but when Helmut and Sabbat joined, they became an odd number with one less person.
If they couldn’t find an opponent somewhere else, there was a high possibility that the remaining one would end up with Asuka.
‘It’ll be a lot of fun.’
A cold smile crossed Asuka’s lips. Anyway, it worked as intended. That was enough.

‘What the f*ck is this!’
The sparring opponent was decided, and Jerome’s face turned pale.
Eren, who immediately grasped the situation, quickly paired up with another guy, and as a result, he was the one who stayed.
I tried to find a different opponent, but the sparring opponent was quickly decided.
“You ended up joining me, the person you were avoiding?”
Asuka laughed happily. Jerome tried to straighten his deathly face.
I have pride, and I can’t show weakness in front of commoners. He was a nobleman.
“It means that someone avoided it. “This is what happened because my sparring partner, Sabat, stepped forward and left me.”
“Actually, my legs are shaking, right? You were treated like a scarecrow by me last year too. This time, as soon as you start, shout out loud, surrender! “Isn’t this something befitting a coward like you?”
Jerome gritted his teeth.
“Who, who is scared? Do you think my skills will be the same as last year?”
“It doesn’t look any different to me, right? What do you like? “We’ll see.”
Jerome held the wooden sword tightly. He felt like cursing Sabbat.

“Let me see, is everyone here?”
Instructor Alan looked at the students lined up two by two. His eyes lingered on one place in particular for a long time.
‘Helmut and Sabatra.’
Both are talented guys. However, from what instructor Allan saw in the transfer exam, Helmut had an overwhelming advantage. It will probably be over soon.
The sparring took place simultaneously. I wanted to keep an eye on Helmut’s sparring, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to. Because there was a person of interest.
‘Asuka and Jerome, these guys are the problem.’
Instructor Alan also knew what happened between them.
Catching the criminal who asked Asuka to attack has become more difficult after the attackers escaped.
What a mean thing. Although there was no physical evidence, the instructors in charge of the interrogation were confident that the Sabbat gang had clearly done this.
Although no one confessed, the stinging attitude was clearly evident. She didn’t confess even when questioned, so they couldn’t accuse her of being the culprit.
Basically, he was an instructor who had to be fair.
I couldn’t let Asuka retaliate to her heart’s content, but I was planning to turn a blind eye.
‘But if it goes too far, we have to stop it.’
Asuka didn’t know the extent. It was difficult for her to have someone get carried away while sparring.
Instructor Alan briefly explained the sparring rules.
“Sparring lasts 15 minutes. Keep in mind that the goal is not to win, but to gain experience by sharing swords with your opponent. If one party loses consciousness or is in no condition to proceed further, stop immediately.
Other than that, there is no stoppage until one side shouts surrender. If the attacked opponent drops the wooden sword, only count the number of times he dropped it and give him time to regroup. Immediately after that, we will resume sparring.”
“yes!”
“What you need to keep in mind is that you shouldn’t fight emotionally, even if you don’t get along well. Fisting is also prohibited. As a student of a swordsmanship department, he fights fairly with his sword. Did you understand?”
“yes!”
“Okay, everyone please spread out and take your seats. “When I give the signal, the sparring will begin!”
“yes!”
At the loud answer, Instructor Alan looked down at the students with satisfaction.
While Sabbat nodded confidently, as if there were mixed feelings of joy for Asuka and Jerome, Helmut stood expressionless.
“I hope you’re as good as you are!”
Sabat stood holding a wooden sword and took an attack stance. An arrogant smile appeared on his thick, greasy-looking face.
Helmut looked down at the floor and waited for the signal to ring.
As he stood, holding the wooden sword loosely, his posture was relaxed enough to look slightly loose.
‘It’s eerily calm.’
Sabbat shook off the strange premonition that came over him.
The opponent is a commoner. Sabbat was the son of a swordsman with a talent recognized even in the empire.
Asuka is a genius among geniuses, and even though she has been going to the academy since last year, there is no way she can lose to this guy who appears out of nowhere.
That was blind thinking at the level of brainwashing.
Soon, Instructor Alan’s voice rang out loud.
“Let the sparring begin!”
Wooden swords moved sharply in various places. The battle between Asuka and Jerome, which instructor Alan focused on, ended quickly as expected.
Jerome was unable to block Asuka’s kick. Rather than being unsheathed, his sword rose at an angle from his side.
Asuka’s sword was as fast as a beam of light. It was Asuka’s specialty, the quick sword.
“Oops!”
Jerome, who was stabbed squarely in the abdomen, barely missed the wooden sword. I felt sick inside.
“You died once!”
Asuka pursed her lips. A wild smile like that of a mad dog spread across his face.
Regardless of Jerome’s stumbling, Asuka immediately resumed her attack.
‘I’ll kill you countless times today!’
Sleek and light movement. Asuka is not the type of person who trains diligently.
But his talent was extraordinary. Especially when he went into battle, he became doubly sharp.
Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! Asuka’s sword flew wildly at her head, side, arms and legs.
Even though it was a wooden sword, it was far from the feeling of swinging a real sword. It feels more like slashing with a blunt wooden sword rather than cutting.
“Ugh, ugh!”
Jerome, whose entire body was covered in bruises, could not resist.
I was beaten from the beginning, so I had no time to come to my senses. Tears streamed from her red, bloodshot eyes.
Although he is big and trained, he is still a fifteen-year-old boy. Jerome wasn’t particularly strong-willed.
Fear welled up. I don’t know how long it has been since the sparring started. Pride and all, I couldn’t take it any longer.
“Ha, ha… … .”
puck! The mouth that tried to open was blocked, unable to pronounce the desired words.
Asuka’s wooden sword was raised as if it would pierce Jerome’s abdomen.
Jerome was half out of his senses due to the deep pain that extended to his internal organs.
“Wow!”
Vomit flowed out of my mouth. Jerome’s face was wet with tears and snot as he knelt down.
“Hey, look over there. “Asuka is going crazy?”
“Can I do that? “Isn’t it dangerous?”
“Asuka, you must have been really out of sorts today!”
The guys who stopped sparring and looked towards Asuka suddenly stopped. Among them was the Sabbat gang, including Eren.
In particular, Eren’s complexion turned pale as he realized that he was lucky that he ended up getting hit in the face. I got goosebumps.
Ignoring the pouring gaze, Asuka grinned and raised her wooden sword.
“not there yet!”
There was no way the mad dog’s anger could be relieved to this extent. A wooden sword flew at Jerome, who was half out of his mind.
He couldn’t even remember when he dropped the wooden sword. Jerome, who had been hit on the head by her, covered her head like a child.
“Kukkkeok!”
It was a one-sided beating. The only thing on Jerome’s mind was that he should say he was surrendering.
When he opened his mouth, vomit flew everywhere. The words that were about to come out turned into screams and moans. When he opened his mouth, he was struck in the chin or stomach.
Asuka, who was beating up Jerome with a bright face and bright eyes, really looked like a crazy person.
“stop! Asuka! “Stop sparring!”
Instructor Alan came running shouting from over there.
Asuka pretended not to hear. If you catch someone like this and don’t vent your anger properly, your blood pressure will rise and you’ll collapse.
Asuka beat up Jerome, who was gaping without even having time to properly pronounce the word surrender, as if possessed. Like cooking meat from her head to her toes.
“I told you to stop!”
Asuka’s story ended only when Instructor Alan grabbed her wrist.
It was a sight to behold. The floor was covered in vomit, and Jerome was curled up in tears, with blood and bruises all over his body.
The students around them looked at them with tired faces as they sparred.
“Asuka, who are you?”
A sigh fell on Instructor Alan’s lips. He only looked away because there was a sparring worth seeing for a moment, but he had no idea that the outcome would be so one-sided and disastrous. It was his mistake.
Asuka was a girl whose skills were unquestionable. In particular, the ability to beat up an opponent.
