Episode 59
Evan protested immediately.
“Wow, that’s ridiculous. Does this mean that if you don’t have points, you shouldn’t even eat?”
“Who told you not to eat it? I should have said it. “I can’t just set foot in a dinner restaurant.”
The knight spoke in a relaxed tone.
“Eat a lot for breakfast tomorrow.”
“… … .”
Oh my, such nonsense… … !
Evan’s face turned red.
Even though Evan is a nobleman, he has a simple heart, but his father told him not to endure insults under any circumstances!
I took a deep breath and shouted at this rude driver… … !
“f*ck that bullshit!”
… But this cry was not Evan’s.
In the back, there was a guy who was stopped by another knight.
‘That guy… … .’
It’s definitely the same guy who got points deducted earlier.
Was his name Hans Vander?
“No matter how badnicker you are, you can’t treat Hans Wander like this! If you don’t order me a meal right now… … .”
Bah!
Those words did not last until the end.
Hans flew far away and rolled on the floor.
“Chu, clack…” … !”
Hans didn’t seem to realize what was happening.
Evan looked.
The knight in front kicked Hans.
“If you don’t colonel, then whatever.”
“… How dare you do this to me… … .”
“Didn’t you sign with your own hand that you could do this? Hans Youngdo, if you are hungry, at least tear up the grass and eat it. “Don’t be a jerk here.”
“… … .”
Then Hans stood up from his seat and said:
“I’m quitting… … !”
“… … .”
“This is the end of the retreat, I’m quitting right now! “Send me back immediately!”
“… ha.”
The knight sighed and said.
“I will take charge of this idiot from now on. Hans Vander, my name is Rogers. “Please take good care of me during the retreat.”
Suddenly, as the knight approached, Hans took a step back with a pale face.
“Oh, don’t come! Don’t come near me! If you put even one finger on my body… Quack!”
Afterwards, the cruel sound of a pig being slaughtered echoed throughout the empty space of the retreat.
“… … .”
Evan, who witnessed the entire series of events, looked ahead again.
The driver standing in front of the restaurant said.
“Evan Youngdo, do you have something to say?”
“… … .”
Evan looked at the article with distant eyes.
“Not even a rat’s tail. “Instructor.”
* * *
After meal time, we heard some simple precautions from the instructor.
“If there are no classes in the evening, it is basically free time. Of course, leaving this vacant lot area is prohibited. The same goes for approaching the instructor building. “If you violate this, you will have to take responsibility for the disadvantages you will incur.”
Only then did Evan realize that the shiny building on the right was the instructor’s quarters.
‘This is a three-story building that is on the verge of collapsing… … .’
The building over there is 6 stories tall and its design is so beautiful that you will be impressed.
The internal facilities must be enormous… … .
“For your information, there is a distribution of basic clothing and daily necessities this evening. “I will hand it out in the vacant lot, so take it in turn.”
The clothes supplied were called Yeongdobok, and although the design itself was decent, it was strangely shabby and had a musty smell.
“Instructor, there is no suitable size.”
“Just wear whatever you want.”
“yes.”
One good thing is that the material of the clothes is very strong, so it doesn’t seem like it will tear if you roll around a lot.
“… But aren’t the clothes fitting too bad?”
“Is it time to hit the pit?”
The composition of the Yeongdo building was simple.
The first floor is a lounge.
The second floor is the female Yeongdo area.
The third floor is the male leadership area.
Naturally, unless there was a special purpose, trespassing into the territory of the opposite s*x was prohibited.
Perhaps because of that, most of Yeongdo gathered in the lounge on the first floor.
A horse lounge, a bonfire on chairs at an old wooden table… … . The only entertainment was crumpled cards and a few books with dented corners.

Still, it was much better than being in a shabby, narrow room, so most of the spirits were here.
Same goes for Evan.
I was sitting at a table with a friend and staring blankly at the bonfire.
“So, Charis, what about the restaurant?”
Charis Earthman is Evan’s friend.
They lived close together and their parents interacted frequently from an early age, so they grew up together almost like brothers.
The timing of this blessing ceremony was deliberately timed, and the kissing was also achieved by participating in the retreat.
“It was better than I thought? It was nice that rations were free so I could eat as much as I wanted… … . But it was a bit burdensome because the drivers were watching with their eyes wide open.”
“I see… … . ah. hungry.”
Evan gulped down the water for no reason.
Fortunately, there was a water bottle in the lounge, so I was able to drink water freely.
“What about your roommate? “Did you get caught as a decent guy?”
“He’s a dwarf friend, so he’s not bad. Although it seems like he snores a little too much. How about you?”
“I am… “I’m not sure yet.”
“Who are you?”
Evan hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
“Luan Badniker.”
“… “Uh, really?”
“okay.”
“and.”
Charis made the sign of the cross with a tired face.
“You really do a good job of soldering from day one… … .”
“Umm… … . Still, my impression is a bit different from the rumors. “He might be a surprisingly good person.”
“Is that possible? You know all about that crazy guy. “I sold the Badniker family’s treasured sword.”
Charis swallowed what she wanted to say.
This is because I saw someone who had just appeared on the stairs.
That’s not all.
The boy walked a short distance away with long strides and even sat down at the same table.
“It’s definitely better here than being locked in a room. There are also books. [The important thing is an unbreakable heart]? Is it an educational book? “That’s a cool title.”
“… … .”
The two closed their mouths.
It had to be that way since the person who appeared was Luan Badnicker.
‘Did you really hear it?’
‘I don’t know, you idiot.’
The two exchanged glances, and Charis said with an ambiguous smile.
“Oh, hello. “My name is Charis Earthman.”
“Luan Badnicker. Now, the crazy person selling the treasured sword is a graduated man.”
You heard it all.
Charis immediately hit his head.
“I’m sorry… … .”
“It’s a joke. “I just came to meet you because you seemed like my roommate’s friend.”
“Ah, ah… … .”
“You’re Charis Earthman, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“You can speak comfortably. We must be the same age. maybe.”
“Uh, um. Is that so? No, I guess so… … .”
Charis knows.
That we should not take the words of higher-ups, “Take it easy,” literally.
If you interpret the true meaning of those words, it’s “I feel uncomfortable if you act too politely, so be moderate. Oh, but you know that if you’re completely rude, you’ll die, right?” That would be about the same.
I’m sure it would be so.
“Oh, really? “You are also from the North.”
“You… “No, you too?”
“My mother is from Coalland. “I’ve never been there myself.”
“aha. “For some reason, the hair color looked familiar.”
… Strangely, it was easy to talk to.
“So, it means that protection is not necessarily a blessing. On the contrary, receiving too much protection can also be bad.”
“is it?”
“That’s right.”
… The conversation was also good.
“You’ve probably heard about the Max family’s genius, right?”
“Oh, I’ve heard of it. “Before receiving God’s protection, he was considered a prodigy, but after receiving God’s protection, he became a genius?”
“that’s right. It’s like being eaten by talent. That guy would probably have become much stronger if he had just focused on swordsmanship without receiving any blessings.
… I was able to communicate well.
“ah. “There are exceptions.”
“What?”
“Our matriarch. “He is the only one who can handle multiple divine protections almost perfectly.”
“In the end, it’s family pride.”
“Is that how it happens?”
… You seem like a surprisingly nice person, huh?
Charis had the same sentiments as Evan.
Before I knew it, quite a few people had gathered around Luan.
Charis realized that most of them were fallen nobles, other races, or commoners.
However, it was not the majority.
Around ten people at most.
In the first place, most of the people from great families were wealthy nobles, so it was natural.
“flush! Good, so I won, right?”
“Idiot, are you wearing your eyes as decoration? “This isn’t a heart, it’s a diamond.”
“oh.”
“Fuhaha!”
Like all boys and girls of this age, they quickly become friends if given the opportunity.
In particular, the special location of this retreat was ideal for nurturing strong feelings of camaraderie.
Before we knew it, the leaders were laughing comfortably, joking among themselves or playing with old cards.
And of course, such an appearance would not look good on all Youngdos.
“hey. “Can’t you vulgar bastards just shut up?”
One of the nobles scolded with a frown.
The atmosphere became slightly cold due to the explicit language, but Charis did not want to cause unnecessary trouble from the first day.
“… “Be careful.”
“The words are a bit short.”
“… … .”
“Hey, commoner. Since we’re rolling together in a place like this, do you think we’re on the same level? Know your topic.”
Charis’ expression hardened.
Firstly, because even though this guy bowed and went in, that guy spit.
Second, Charis was not a commoner to begin with.
However, it wasn’t a family famous enough to have a reputation like that over there.
“What is our topic?
“I need to explain that too.”
However, the nobleman swallowed his words halfway and his expression became ambiguous.
This is because I saw the face of the person who intervened.
‘Luan Badniker.’
Even if he makes a hundred concessions, he has a history that cannot be called a commoner.
Of course, I had vaguely heard rumors about Luan’s notoriety and his position within the family… … .
Even so, it’s a bad joke.
That name, no matter what secrets were attached to it, had a strange power that made it difficult to treat it carelessly.
“By the way, what is your name?”
“… Hans Vander.”
“Hans? iced coffee. “The guy got beaten up by the driver for being rude in a restaurant.”
“urg… … !”
Hans’ face turned red, but Luan continued speaking regardless.
“I know you’re sensitive because you couldn’t eat dinner, but don’t be so picky. “I’m going to get sick of seeing these people over the next six weeks, so it would be nice if we could become friends.”
“H-If you’re a noble, you should be able to distinguish between people who are worth making friends with… do!”
Hans felt proud of himself for sticking to informal language even when dealing with Badniker’s blood relatives.
That pride soon gave me courage, giving my voice even more strength.
“And those bastards over there, once this retreat is over, I won’t have anything to see again in my life!”
“… hmm.”
Then Luan momentarily narrowed her brows and nodded.
“but. “I’ve never heard of Hans Vander, so you must be playing in different waters than here.”
“… … .”
Hans’ face turned red again at the somewhat sarcastic tone.
And another characteristic of boys and girls of this age.
No tolerance for insults.
“You, this incompetent badniker… … !”
Hans spoke and flinched to see what the other person was doing… … .
There was no particular change in Luan’s expression.
Hans’ expression brightened at that attitude.
‘He was just a mouthy guy… … !’
Hans spoke again with a frown on his face.
“Are these untalented people protecting each other? haha. It suits you very well. Yes. So, I guess I’ll only get one or two blessings!”
That’s the moment.
The front door opened wide, and a man appeared.
“oh.”
“That person… … .”
He has black hair and a sculptural face that is rare in the empire – Hector Badniker.
Hans’ face became brighter.
I didn’t know much about Badniker’s internal circumstances, but I at least knew that Hector treated Luan like trash.
“Are you here, Hector?”
And Hans was a talented person who was willing to ride Hector’s line.
This boy will have a great reputation throughout the empire within the next few years, and may even become the head of the Badniker family… … .
Hans felt that much confidence from Hector.
“What’s going on?”
Hector looked around and said.
“Ah- that’s… “I had some trouble with my younger brother.”
No matter how Hans was, he couldn’t say harsh words to Luan in front of Hector.
Aside from Luan being pathetic, we can’t openly ignore Badniker’s lineage.
“… “What trouble?”
Hans wondered what he could do to make the situation more favorable to him.
Because of this, I didn’t notice that Hector’s tone had calmed down slightly.
“… I think my younger brother lacks awareness of the value of the Badniker name. I see him hanging out with such low-class people. “Here, Hector, as your older brother, you should say something.”
“Hans Vander.”
The conversation stopped midway.
Only then did Hans feel puzzled.
“yes?”
“That’s amazing. “I had no idea that the Vander family’s influence had grown so much.”
“… yes?”
“To the point where I dare to interfere with Badniker’s affairs.”
