Episode 121
Gray Sheeran?
Oh, this guy.
No kidding, this is someone I really wanted to see.
He quietly placed the cell down on the seat next to him.
“Tell him to come out. Right now.”
Exactly one minute after hearing those words, Madangsoe went out.
Gray came into my room.
Still, his bronze skin and bulging muscles are impressive.
It feels like looking at a longsword with a handle that looks like it has a military talisman attached to it.
however.
“Long time no see?”
“Yes. It’s been a while.”
Oh, really.
“No, I don’t know about other people, but isn’t it not okay for Dean Gray to do that?”
Gray’s eyes widen.
“……yes?”
“I was lying down for a week, and I was lonely. Oh, how is the Academy going? What on earth is our proud Dean Gray doing? Did he eat? Will it go down my throat? … I was very worried.”
“……yes??”
No. Don’t you understand if I say it like this?
“You said you would serve me? You said you knew how to dig? But how come you never show your face? Oh, don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying this because I’m upset. I’m just upset, because I’m upset.”
The one who reacted to my words was the teacher next to me.
The laughter that bursts out in laughter can be heard clearly.
No, look, look.
Yeah, a little bit.
It’s already been nearly three weeks since the academy opened.
Even though I never attended an academy class during that time, it still makes sense that I didn’t come even once.
That’s when I was thinking that.
“… … I used to stop by here at least once a day.”
huh?
“Every time I came, the Death Knight guarding outside kept repeating that my lord’s training was not over and that I should come back later if I had any business… … so I could not enter the villa.”
Oh, this is it.
I turned my head slightly and looked at our teacher.
I see you smiling playfully.
I guess he wanted to give me a hard time.

Is it something like revenge?
I ended up laughing in vain once more.
“There was a mistake. Okay, if you have anything to report while you’re here, please report it.”
Gray, tilting his head, told me several facts.
First things first.
Gray Cierran became the Dean of the Department of Swordsmanship six days ago, and Galadinor, who was originally the head instructor of the Department of Military Science, became the Dean of the Department of Military Science.
Second, the number of people requesting information about ‘me’ has increased in various places, including the royal palace.
Third, negative rumors about the hardliners continue to leak out from the Teslan Kingdom and other kingdoms.
Fourth, it is more difficult than you might think to find an instructor at the academy.
There are a few more things, but you don’t need to know them.
Those four are the important ones.
First, my understanding and the inspiration’s understanding were the same.
The second is that it should have happened long ago, and in fact it has already happened, but the fact that it has reached Gray’s ears means that all sorts of families throughout the kingdom are aware of it.
Conversely, this also means that it was known throughout the continent.
The third reason is similar to the first.
What this means is that long-term partners are entering the board I created one after another.
Perhaps, there will be a kingdom summit or something like that in the near future.
Fourth.
This is the most important thing.
“Instructor… … .”
hmm.
I casually asked Gray how many instructors had been added, and he said three.
3 people.
Wow… … 3 people.
“It’s not that I don’t understand… … It’s ambiguous.”
What I did was no different from turning an unspecified number of people into enemies.
Aside from that, Academy Instructor.
If you look at it in person, it looks like it’s quite a prestigious position.
But the reason why he doesn’t come is purely because of his own existence.
A crazy guy who kills anyone he catches.
Who would come when a guy like that is standing tall up there?
This is a given.

And apart from that, this is a pretty serious problem.
“The normalization of the Academy is significantly delayed… … This is it.”
The solution is simple.

I just need to get out of the academy.
This incident happened purely because of a madman running wild, and it is only natural that the empty instructor position will be filled naturally once I, the one who caused it, disappear.
however.
If that happens, can we call it ‘normalization’?
The same guys will take their place?
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”
At that moment, Gray’s eyes, who had been listening, light up.
“Do you have any good idea?”
The teacher, who was sitting next to the bed, also looked at me with slightly expectant eyes.
I should say it’s like an expression full of curiosity, wondering what kind of accident will happen this time.
As I just smiled without answering, Gray asked with a puzzled expression.
“Do you know anyone who would be suitable as an instructor?”
I know.
There’s no way I wouldn’t know.
I’m a regressor.
To be honest, the reason I haven’t used future knowledge until now is because I didn’t have a need to use it.
But now, I think I should try using it.
“Do you like gambling?”
Gray’s eyes widened.
“Do… … Park?”
It’s understandable to be confused.
While talking about how to fill the shortage of instructors, the topic of gambling suddenly came up, so I couldn’t help but be flustered.
But do you think I brought this up for no reason?
“Who is the richest person on this continent?”
Gray thinks for a moment at my question.
Perhaps the names of several people and groups are running through Gray’s mind right now.
Among them, Gray brought up the name of one group.
“This is a continental battlefield.”
A confident tone and a confident expression.
“The Continental Battlegrounds, with branches all over the continent. There’s no one else but them. They probably have the most money on this continent.”
A group that has been mentioned in passing a few times.
Right on the continental battlefield.
It is a union of huge merchants.
There is one rule that the merchants who belong there must absolutely adhere to, and that is that they must belong to a completely politically neutral state.
It may feel similar to the ideals of the Academy, but in fact, it cannot be helped.

The first person to create a continental battlefield and bring merchants together.
Edward Lynch.
He is a person from 150 years ago, a talented person from the Teslan Academy, and a genius among geniuses who received the title of honorary duke from each kingdom with only money and intuition without any background.
This may seem like a contradiction.
Clearly, the Continental Battlefield is the Merchant Alliance.
A merchant cannot be politically neutral.
But the Continental Battlefield made it possible.
The process is not important.
result.
As I said before, just look at the results.
The continental battlefield is huge.
I’ve said this more than once that I’m huge, and I keep saying it because I’m not just huge, I’m really huge.
The nobles who use the Continental Battlefield are likely to be more than 95% of all nobles on this continent, regardless of their country.
Used by royalty as well as wealthy commoners.
A merchant union of literally enormous size.
They will do anything that makes money, but they never get involved in anything politically problematic.
This is, to put it nicely, neutral, but realistically, it’s a tightrope walk.
As far as I know, the first organization that the Tulcan Empire organized after unifying the continent was the Continental Battlefield.
Their information lines, their branches spread across the continents, and their enormous funds.
What king would welcome such an organization’s absolute neutrality on the continent?
The crown prince I know is not the kind of person who would welcome that at all.
Well, this is something that will come up later anyway, so let’s move on for now.
“I don’t know if you know that.”
“……which?”
A pleasant smile forms on my lips.
“There’s a gambling house they run.”
What can’t a guy with a swollen liver do?
“It’s divided into public and secret gambling halls, but the entrance fee for the secret gambling hall is 100,000 gold?”
“100,000 gold… … That’s a lot.”
Not much.
“The fun thing is that you can play with dealers who carry the name Continental Battlefield on their backs.”
Gray makes a long, puzzled expression.
“If you beat the dealer, you get the continental battlefield money… … That’s how it is?”
“Yes. As far as I know, there are about 6 Masters who were raised directly by the Continental Battlefield.”
“ah……!”
Advertisements
I guess you noticed.
“I need to bring them over.”
Did you feel that the flow of conversation was a little strange?
Gray asked in a complicated tone.
“Can I ask what that has to do with gambling?”
He smiled faintly.
“I’m good at gambling.”
I’ve said this before.
I have never lost a fight.
The scope of the game that he has never lost includes not only sword fighting but also gambling.
Gambling is also a kind of fighting.
and.
“I’m also curious about how much money there is on the Continental Battlefield. So I’m going to empty it all out.”
“……yes?”
“If I keep digging, they’ll notice. Ah… … This guy is weird… … I have to investigate… … Something like that.”
Gray’s mouth opens wide.
I guess you noticed.
“I’ve never tried buying a Master with money before, but I don’t think it’ll be impossible. I also had a conversation with the head of the Continental Battlefield, so this is good.”
I slowly got up from my seat.
Oh, before that.
“Have you eaten?”
“It’s still pre-meal time. Since the academy is short on instructors, there’s no time to eat.”
It’s past 10 o’clock now.
Oh my.
I turned my head and asked Cell, and he said he was also eating beforehand.
then.
“Should we eat first?”
He smiled faintly.
* * *
The atmosphere in the Marquisate of Valanti was different than usual.
Should we say that a sense of anxiety has been created?
The people of Yeongji thought.
Why do I see so many people from other places these days?
It wasn’t difficult to tell the difference.
First of all, the clothes they were wearing were all extraordinary, and on their left chest were engraved all sorts of patterns symbolizing each noble family.
Advertisements
Moreover, since there were easily over 20 types of patterns, it was natural for the people of Yeongji to have doubts.
Moreover, it is natural that the doubt turns into anxiety when you see those who appear to be the heralds of over 20 families coming out of the Marquis’ house with angry expressions.
There is no way the people of Yeongji could not know that the atmosphere of the country has become tense these days.
Because the daily news in the Tesla Times was that the youngest son of the Marquis de Valanti was going crazy.
And a few days later, the newly published Tesla Times said:
The youngest son of the Marquis Valantier is a puppet.
At this point, even the people of Yeongji couldn’t help but notice that something was wrong.
Some of the people of Yeongji were even worried that a Yeongji War might break out.
And, that thought was right on target.
“what!!”
The Marquis de Valanti shouts in his office.
A man in front of him.
Gonzales, the vice-captain of the Iron Blood Knights, continued speaking with as calm an expression as possible.
“The Marquis Hermann has applied for a land loan.”
I didn’t mishear.
Clark Valanti doubted his ears.
“The Yeongjijeon… … you say?”
I hoped I misheard.
but.
“Yes, it is a land transfer. Marquis Hermann sent an official letter to the palace, and the palace sent this letter guaranteeing the land transfer of both families.”
Clark accepted the letter from Gonzalez and immediately opened it.
And soon after, the letter was forcibly torn up.
f*ck.
shit.
All kinds of curse words were lingering in my throat.
oh my god.
“A battle of the spirits… … A battle of the spirits!!”
