Helmut: The Forsaken Child Chapter 78

Helmut

Episode 78

“Can I leave that alone?”

one of them asked through gritted teeth.

“The rampage is going too far. “I thought I could do anything.”

“I avoided it because it was dirty, but it’s getting worse as the days go by. Shouldn’t I take care of it?”

Sabat came out with a wry smile.

“A whip is good for a mad dog. “Let’s take the day and give it a try.”

In that way, the target changed from Helmut to Asuka. No, it was both. The priorities just changed.

And Helmut listened to their conversation without missing a beat, even from a distance.

‘Well, aren’t there guys like that?’

Helmut found Asuka fascinating. Asuka said she had eyes for Helmut, but Helmut also had eyes for Asuka.

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a guy go out like that in the human world. He was a guy who had a certain resemblance to Elaga.

That means it has a monster-like personality. At times, Asuka seemed to be of much worse quality than the Sabbat gang that was arguing.

It’s as if he’s declaring with his body, ‘I’m the crazy dog ​​of this area!’

‘There are bound to be many enemies like that.’

Anyway, Sabat and his friends didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving Asuka alone.

Helmut suddenly became curious. Would that Asuka be able to take on ten students from the swordsmanship department alone?

In fact, he is the second-year senior in the swordsmanship department and is called a mad dog and a genius.

It is not easy to measure human strength. I know that I am weaker than myself.

It was difficult to gauge the difference in power between those weaker than oneself.

“This is going to make things fun.”

It was heard quietly at the corner of Helmut’s mouth.

The undergraduate swordsmanship class was ultimately similar to what Darian taught. Train your body, learn vis training techniques, and practice swordsmanship.

It had already become a daily occurrence for Helmut. I have passed the point where I need someone’s guidance.

There is no one here who could be a rival to Helmut.

Watching the events that would soon unfold was Helmut’s little entertainment.

***

That day, Helmut was face to face with Area for the first time in a long time.

As the semester began, Area was busy. The number of days he entered the dormitory before Helmut could be counted on one hand.

When Helmut came in first, changed his clothes and went out to the training ground, Area came in and fell asleep before Helmut returned.

Such Area returned early today.

“It looks like Area is going to rip my spine out!”

I heard Xian, who I met on the way, crying.

As promised, Area seemed to be engrossed in researching new magic using his spirits.

It seems that Xian’s resistance was strong today, so he decided to take a rest.

Area, who was sitting by the window, asked.

“How is life as a swordsmanship undergraduate these days? “Is it worth adapting to?”

“It’s an adaptation, whatever.”

Helmut answered indifferently. The only privilege he received was permission to use Ethan’s training center.

The fact that it was known that he was from a commoner cause of controversy justified the preferential treatment he received.

So, except during class time, Helmut didn’t really have to deal with the guys from the swordsmanship department.

This is especially true since it is the beginning of the semester and we are not sparring to give ourselves time to warm up.

“You don’t just train swordsmanship, right? Even if it’s the theoretical subjects that empty-headed swordsman school students take, they still need to study liberal arts subjects in advance. Because it is a class that students from other departments also take.

If Myeong-saek had an instructor from the swordsmanship department as his guardian, wouldn’t he be able to achieve decent results? “Instructor Ethan, you have respect.”

It was annoying that no matter what Helmut did, ‘Instructor Ethan’ followed him.

I have enjoyed many things through his support, but this aspect is inconvenient.

Helmut responded lightly.

“It will be fine. “Because I remember everything in class.”

Helmut had good concentration and memory.

Area, who knew that, kept her mouth shut.

Although I myself have been called a genius, Helmut was somewhat of an irritating guy.

The most humane moment was when he was moaning about studying for an exam.

I heard that he was still being ostracized in the swordsmanship department, but he seemed fine.

And just as Area thought, Helmut didn’t mind. He feels hurt or left out in some way.

Since ancient times, wild beasts do not mix with a group of rabbits.

In his eyes, no matter how intrusive they were, the guys from the swordsmanship department seemed like nothing more than a bunch of rabbits.

A being that cannot be mixed in the first place. There was one guy who was something between a beast of prey and an herbivore, more like a dog or a fox than a rabbit.

Helmut suddenly spoke.

“Rather than that, I think I’d like to get a dog.”

Area was disgusted.

“A dog? You’re not planning on letting a dog into the dorm, are you? Don’t even dream. “I will report it.”

I think I misunderstood it to mean that I would raise it in my room.

‘I’m already raising something similar.’

Helmut thought as he stared at Area, but he didn’t bother to say it out loud. Because it is obvious that he will go on a rampage for a long time.

“We won’t bring it in.”

“At the Kudrow Mansion? Are you saying you want to raise a dog? What should I do if my hair gets wet? No, do you have time to take care of it?”

Helmut fell into thought while listening to Area’s grumbling, which had already turned into a nag. A leisurely time was passing by.

***

Greta Academy allows outings to Baden only on holidays, including weekends when classes are not held.

If you were caught neglecting your studies and wandering the streets of Baden outside of your holidays, you were subject to disciplinary action.

It was a rule that even Asuka, known as the mad dog of the swordsmanship department, had to follow.

Asuka, who had already received all kinds of disciplinary action for fighting in her first year, decided to hold back this year.

If I get suspended again, it may not end in suspension.

It was a boring academy, but he had his own circumstances. She shouldn’t have to go back without completing her studies.

Because of that, he barely made it through the week and was making his way out of the extremely frustrating academy. This moment was the only freedom he was allowed.

It was late afternoon, almost night. Asuka recalled the events of that week and cursed under her breath.

‘Damn nobles.’

Academy life wasn’t bad. Initially.

But what was difficult to bear was the people. It’s annoying to see a nobleman talking nonsense about a topic he’s weak at, and it’s hard to tolerate people whispering behind someone’s back.

Aside from being worried about being suspended from school, Asuka was getting into a fight like her temperament. Even with her mouth she would have turned away if she hadn’t done so.

And when Asuka turns away, the situation always gets more serious. It doesn’t end well.

Asuka was a bit distraught these days.

‘What on earth is that guy?’

A guy named Helmut. At first he thought he was a nobleman, but then he turned out to be a commoner.

But while commoners either bowed down to nobles, pretended not to be commoners at all and lived like idiots, or even tried to cling to Asuka, this guy was different.

It is not the habit of a man who turns out to be a commoner to bow down to nobles. It’s a survival strategy.

Although he was acting helplessly as if he was not thinking about what would happen after graduating from Askaya Academy, other commoners had to think about their relationships with nobles.

Commoners were beings who had to humble themselves in front of nobles. Gossip, slights, and minor harassment have no choice but to be ignored.

But Helmut didn’t do that.

Although he wasn’t the type to start a fight like Asuka, Asuka thought Helmut was also a very aggressive guy.

I didn’t like the way they used their mouths to suppress things like the magic school guys or nobles did.

But I liked its majesty.

‘Well, I don’t really plan on becoming friends.’

Having friends doesn’t suit Asuka.

He had a foul temper and spewed out his foul temper, and because of that, he had many enemies. That was a problem Asuka had to deal with alone.

If you let them be friends for no reason, it will only end up causing a headache.

It was a time when I was walking down a dark alley. Several large men ahead blocked the road.

Asuka opened her mouth calmly.

“What’s this?”

Baden is also a place where people live, so there were bullies.

In particular, these gangsters occasionally appeared in alleys slightly outside the downtown area.

However, Asuka was a trained swordsman undergraduate student. She can’t be afraid of something like that.

A bad-looking man said with a grin.

“You look like you have some money over there.”

It was an appropriate person to beat up and take out one’s anger on, but strangely, I didn’t feel good about it.

One of Asuka’s strengths was that she had good intuition. He spoke bluntly to check his liver.

“I am a second-year student at Greta Academy, Department of Swordsmanship.”

Although he was wearing civilian clothes, most people would flinch when they heard the sound of a swordsmanship department.

There are three academies in Baden, and all three academies have swordsmanship departments.

Even first-year students in the swordsmanship department were no match for ordinary gangsters.

But the other person didn’t even blink.

“Swordsmanship department? That sounds funny. “Can you hold a sword with that wrist?”

“If you just grab it and break it, it’s a wrist that will let out a faint scream.”

It was a mocking tone, but it was different from not believing what Asuka said. Still, he is calm as if it doesn’t matter.

‘These guys… … .’

Asuka looked sharply at the slowly approaching opponent.

Four guys in front. I can feel the popularity even from behind. He wore a sword at his waist. Narrowing the gap, movement. It’s not unusual.

He is not an ordinary bully. They can’t be said to be elaborately trained swordsmen, but they are quite capable.

Asuka’s head spun.

“What, did you hire someone? What is the client’s name? Jerome? Eren? Sabbat?”

Asuka chuckled and named the people who had a fight with her.

There was no answer. The expression disappears from the faces of the men who were joking.

Since they tend to play with each other, it is highly likely that they all worked together. Fighting one-on-one, even outside, is not permitted under Greta Academy’s school rules.

I don’t have the confidence or the skills to tackle it alone. All he has is his family and money. They just chose to use the money.

He doesn’t get his hands dirty. Although he isn’t a prosecutor, he is truly noble.

‘You despicable bastards, you should have provoked them and made a mess of them!’

This year’s transfer students hired people without hesitation, perhaps because they had less experience with the academy.

In fact, Asuka didn’t know she would go this far. She felt around her waist, but couldn’t find the sword.

I had just left it at the blacksmith shop. Even if there is a fight in Baden, there is no need to resort to sword fighting.

‘There is no such thing as bad luck.’

At the front, four men drew their swords.

It wouldn’t be strange if I received a request to kill him. If you treat it well, you may have received a request to make a disabled person.

There is no sword in Asuka’s hand. But he had one weapon left.

“Instructor Alan! “It’s here!”

As he charged forward and shouted, the four men flinched and looked back.

Asuka lowered her body, passed the men, and quickly slipped through the gap. Fast legs, that was Asuka’s weapon.

“You rat!”

“Follow me!”

I hear footsteps rushing behind me. I was confident that I would outrun him.

However, the moment Asuka turned around the alley, what she encountered were two men holding swords.

“Damn it.”

“Hey, they say you have a nimble body. It’s true, right?”

“I didn’t know it would come to us.”

It was a multi-layered siege net. A double-digit number of prosecutors were hired.

He didn’t look like a mercenary. Asuka knew that even if it wasn’t a mercenary guild, there was a group that took on these types of requests.

‘Black Hawk.’

“I think it’s unlucky. “I should have lived a good life like that.”

“Do you have to live with your head held high to enter the academy?”

Haha, two men approached with their swords pointed at them while laughing.

Now the only thing Asuka could count on was a narrow alley. A good space to fight many-to-one.

It won’t be easy. But I didn’t think I would lose.

Asuka was the top 2nd year student at Greta Academy’s swordsmanship department. Of course, the actual grades are not like that, but in reality.

“Let’s give it a try.”

There was venom in Asuka’s eyes. Today, they will clearly understand why he is called the mad dog of the swordsmanship department.
