Episode 90

‘This is annoying.’
Leonhard was not happy with what was happening in the classroom.
That little girl named Charlotte.
I don’t like it.
I was really annoyed.
Just looking at her appearance, you could easily pass for a princess from any country, but that was all.
The name of the child who entered the academy, her full name, was simply ‘Charlotte.’
That is, he is neither a child of a noble family nor of royalty, but at best a commoner.
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason Leonhard was annoyed.
Anyway, there are quite a few commoners in the academy.
But what’s important is that the child was specially admitted by General Rommel.
Furthermore, a child sponsored by General Rommel.
I don’t like that.
‘If you’ve stepped down from the front lines, you should just sit in the back room like a retired person, but what about special admission?’
The Kingdom of Teslan belongs to the royal family of Teslan.
The power over the life and death of the ‘commoners’ among the students of the academy should be monopolized by the faculty.
Also, ultimately, all of those commoner students should become the royal family’s.
It was a miracle of logic, but Leonhard clearly thought so.
So, I was displeased with the president’s intervention.
also.
‘If the president starts interfering like this, will the nobles below him really put money in the professors’ pockets? Of course not. If that student Charlotte becomes the center of the students, they will all become knights or wizards of the Duke of Ascension… … And if that happens, the years I can have will be shortened… … Damn it!’
It was a twisted thought, unbecoming of an instructor, but Leonhard was confident.
But, apart from her confidence, it is true that I admired that girl named Charlotte.
Should we say that it is an extraordinary talent?
That’s why it’s more problematic.
About five years have passed since Rommel Einhard Assenble assumed the position of Chancellor.
During that five-year period, not once did we drop out of school before the end of the semester.
Is that all?
It was not the case in the previous generation of presidents, nor in the presidents before that.
Is this how you handle something that has never been done in history?
At least you should have consulted with the faculty.
To unilaterally add a new student in the middle of a semester without any discussion is simply disrespect to the faculty.
Should we say that we cannot help but doubt their intentions?

A child chosen by the president who ignored the faculty.
It was natural to be suspicious, as the child’s talent was extraordinary.
‘With that kind of talent, it’s only a matter of time before he takes control of the students. He can’t make it happen. And there’s no way to be sure that the president won’t give another kid a special admission.’
The president is supposed to be neutral, so why is he interfering out of nowhere and weakening the power of the ‘faculty’?
I wonder if I’m going crazy.
Leonhard was annoyed.
Also, I was dissatisfied.
I didn’t like the president, and I didn’t like the kid he had chosen even more.
So he deliberately made the kids bully Charlotte.
Whether they are students or children of noble families, they are still children.
How to turn their curiosity into jealousy?
Even before coming to the Academy, Leonhard was an instructor who trained apprentice knights for the royal palace.
He spent about 15 years in the palace, 7 years as an instructor, and 4 years at the academy.
With 11 years of experience, Leonhardt must know how to deal with the psychology of children.
‘Yes, it’s a good thing anyway. If you keep causing trouble like this and recommend expulsion, the president won’t be able to say anything and the Duke of Ascension’s reputation will be ruined. The royal family’s reputation will go up to that extent.’
That’s politics.
Even if the Ascendant Duke family is pro-royal, they must continuously inform us who is the head and who is the tail.
No matter how the nobles are intertwined like a spider’s web above, and even though General Rommel’s position is almost exclusive within the kingdom, the General is still subordinate to the king.
The Kingdom of Teslan belongs to the royal family.
Leonhard, who also swore allegiance to the royal family, thought he had some stake in that royal family.
‘Phew… … ‘
Leonhard held his breath quietly.
Charlotte has just had her seventh child knocked out.
The number of teeth wandering around has already exceeded 20.
Look at that overly violent streak.
This is more than enough evidence to label him a problem child.
‘But… … he’s doing that without even taking a breath.’
Should I say it is overwhelming?
It is clear that it is far beyond the level of the first-year academy students.
‘Where on earth did that kid come from and why did he suddenly appear like this?’
It was so incomprehensible.
Anyway, that’s how the 8th child collapsed.

Leonhard secretly cheered for Charlotte.
‘Just a little more, yeah, yeah. The 9th… … Okay. There are 32 students in class 4, so about 15. Okay, let’s step in when about 15 people collapse. What if the kid that the principal gave special admission is a problem child… … Hehe. The picture is really nice. I wonder what the principal will do if I formally file for expulsion. Hehehehe.’
It was when he was smiling so sinisterly.

“I guess something interesting is going on?”
I turned my head at the sound of the voice.
She has black hair that isn’t short, but isn’t long either, and she’s about 171… … 172?
A rather handsome boy was smiling mischievously.
‘Who is this? Was there a kid like this in the Academy?’
Jack hardly ever participated in class, and even when he showed up during exam periods, he was very skinny.
Also, in the past, he always walked with his shoulders hunched over, but now he walks with his shoulders straight. Jack was already taller than his peers, and he had gained weight since then, and subtle but naturally formed lean muscles covered his entire body.
That natural change brought about a change in the person himself, and Leonhard naturally did not recognize Jack.
It’s strange to find out.
Jack was known to be mentally retarded.
‘A doll on your shoulder… … What a strange taste. And… … .’
Suddenly, Leonhard’s gaze moves to Jack’s side.
Short gray hair.
A mysterious looking child was looking at him with disapproving eyes.
‘Ha… … This is a mess. Judging from the fact that he’s at the Academy during the semester, he must be a student, but if he’s a student I’ve never seen before… … Is he from the Magic Department? Or, the Public Administration Department? The Military Department?’
It was a brief moment, but Leonhard had a lot on his mind, and Jack, standing next to him, looked out the classroom window.
“She’s the 12th. As expected, our Charlotte is good at fighting.”
Leonhard couldn’t help but ask, seeing her speaking as if she knew Charlotte.
“Who are you?”
Jack laughs slightly.
“Does that matter? Something really interesting is happening right before your eyes.”
Leonhard’s brow furrows.
Still, he is an instructor.
A student changes the subject without answering the instructor’s question?
“You’re quite arrogant. From what I can see, you seem to be a child who is being looked after by a Marquis or Duke. Let me introduce myself first.”
It was a fairly reasonable conclusion for Leonhard.
Students and teachers are different.
There is no need to mention the relationship between the teacher and the taught, but there is only one thing that can break those two relationships.
That’s the existence of someone who is watching over you.
Leonhard has judged.
The reason why Jack in front of me is so confident and arrogant is because at least someone higher than the Marquis is watching over him.
Jack, who had no idea of such thoughts, or rather, had no intention of guessing, spoke slowly while looking at Charlotte who was about to take down the thirteenth person.
“You used to take the lead in children being bullied in places where they were supposed to be raised through education. Now you just stand by and watch?”
“……what?”
Jack slowly turned his head.

“A child chosen by the president for special admission. Even a child with outstanding talent is sponsored by the Ascendant Duke’s family… Is it an inferiority complex? Or is it a vain desire to not lose what you have?”
Leonhard, who was hit hard, was momentarily speechless, but Jack’s mouth did not stop.
“It’s so absurd that I can’t help but sigh.”
Leonhard’s eyebrows furrow.
As I listened to it, I felt annoyed.
Just a kid.
Leonhard has many places where he has lined up.
Because there were so many, I had the golden egg-like information of which student was related to which student in my head.
But this guy in front of you isn’t in that information.
So I asked who was looking after them, but this is going too far.
Leonhard, who was about to get angry for a moment, missed his timing again.
To be exact, I had no choice but to miss it.
Because Jack’s next words were shocking.
“What is that punk instructor, that punk instructor who’s supposed to be teaching kids, doing right now?”
Anger boils inside my chest.
No matter who is watching over them, students must first respect their instructors.
Because that is the authority of the instructor and the authority of the academy.
But, a student who dares to challenge the instructor’s authority.
“You call the instructor a brat? How cheeky… …! Ugh!”
Leonhardt hastily tilted his head back.
If I’m not mistaken, Jack’s left hand was definitely reaching out.
Although his reaction speed was relatively fast, he couldn’t avoid Jack’s hand.
Jack’s hand changes direction in midair and grabs Leonhard’s head.
Kwaaak-!
“Ugh… … !”
“I can’t tell if this is a gathering place for punks or a gathering place for criminals.”
“Let go… … Let go!!”
* * *
five fingers.
In between, I can feel the texture of Leonhard’s skin.
And even the feel of the bones beyond the skin.
It’s detailed.
So much so that I wanted to just break it.
So I kept putting strength into my hands.
Crackle! Crackle!

His flesh is crushed, and strong pressure is applied to his skull.
In an instant, the bastard started to draw mana, and I slowly drew mana too.
Dismissed-!
Mana collides, and Leonhard’s mana is torn from the air.
“Let go… … Let go!!”
I turned my head to glance at the first-year students of the Department of Swordsmanship, perhaps because the sound was loud. They were looking in my direction.
Charlotte was there too.
Charlotte’s expression was calm.
It’s quite different from the other confused kids, and it’s so unique that it makes me feel a little better.
“Save me… Save me!! Aaaah!!”
I stood there like that for a while.
The Master is looking at me silently, and Cell next to me is smiling faintly.
As if he knew this would happen.
I glanced at the cell and threw Leonhardt, which I was holding in my right hand, away.
The direction is where the students are gathered.
dump-
Leonhard, who had fallen headfirst into the ground, looked at me, trembling.
“You… who… who are you!”
I slowly walked towards it.
About 20 students just watched the situation.
“Jack… …Jack Valanti?”
Among them, there were one or two who recognized me.
Without paying any attention, I slowly approached Leonhard.
“Instructor.”
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
“Would you like to spar with me?”
Leonhard slowly stands up from his seat.
“Dae… … Yeon?”
I didn’t ask for consent.
Of course, I didn’t ask for permission.
“You can use any sword, real or not. It will start in 5 seconds, so get ready.”
