The Regressed Son of a Duke is an Assassin Chapter 40

Episode 40. Continental First Sword (1)

After the meeting with Aer, the next day dawned.

It is already one day before the official opening of the academy.

It was a time when students were preparing various items needed for their classes and life at the academy.

Of course, that’s true for freshmen who have a lot to learn,

Let alone preparation, I haven’t even bought the textbook yet.

Still, I thought I should prepare in some way, so I was going to go out on the street… … .

“Well, Master, what is this situation… … .”

Brian, who did not understand the situation in front of him, looked at me and asked.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have anything else to say. For now, I’ll just assume it’s okay… … .”

In the first place, this was never the situation I had intended.

[Oh my god~! Where would an instructor come to a student’s dormitory this early in the morning? Would other people think it was just a normal situation? Right~?]

Kayram, who was lying on the sofa in a seductive posture, said with a twinkle in his eye.

“sure! “This is an extremely normal situation where an academic instructor brings textbooks to help students learn properly!”

Silica counters this without blinking an eye.

Anyway, is there ever a case where an instructor directly brings textbooks to students?

And you are an academic instructor, not a teaching assistant… … .

[Can a child called the head of a family be this careless? This isn’t a forbidden relationship between a student and a teacher, and if we keep going in and out like this, haven’t you ever thought that our master will be suspected~?]

“Kayram, you are really careless. Although Aer gave us life force and freed us to fully materialize, this is an academy. It is a place where experts who are sensitive to spiritual energy, including mana, gather. “If your presence is discovered, won’t us Xi’an students be in trouble?”

There was no way to intervene in the war of words between the two women who did not back down even an inch.

For now, I decided to watch a little more.

[Oh my! What’s there to be in trouble about? It’s not like my master is bad, just sweep everything away with me and that’s it~?]

“That means it can’t be done! If you were going to sweep everything away from the beginning, why would you come here? Are you planning to ruin your master’s plan?”

A bloody sound of laughter echoes throughout the large room.

Brian finally hugged his body as if he had goosebumps.

I, who was unable to see anything, finally opened my mouth.

“Hey, head of the family. Anyway, isn’t this a bit much? For an academic instructor to come to a student’s dormitory like this… … .”

At the moment I met her eyes, I flinched without realizing it.

“Student Xian, you need to be careful what you say. The head of the family? If anyone hears it, they’ll be in big trouble… … .”

Why are you suddenly using honorifics again?

Finally, as she was trotting in front of me, she lowered herself and said.

“Within the academy, we are just students and instructors. “Please pay more attention to your titles from now on?”

What do you mean, let’s distinguish between public life and life?

I understand that as the head of the family, you are interested in your successor, but to some extent, this is… … .

“That doesn’t mean we should be rigid! We’re going to have to see each other for a long time, right? You need to learn a lot and grow steadily! So that… … .”

For a moment, he patted my head with a bright smile.

Her semi-circular eyes flashed widely.

“Won’t you lead our organization well? Heir Sian Wert?”

The obsession for me contained in those burning eyes.

Why does this seem to have gotten worse than in my previous life?

The moment I doubted whether she had a dual personality at this level,

-Shook

A black mana sphere flew between me and her face.

The culprit was Kayram.

[Where are you putting your hand?]

There was cold anger in the corners of her eyes along with displeasure.

Ha, somehow I feel much more tired than when I came back from the battle with the demonic beasts.

I think I’ll be the only one who feels uncomfortable staying here.

I quietly escaped, leaving the two women fighting for life like lionesses fighting for territory.

“Are you going to have a drink, master?”

It was Brian who asked if I wanted to drink on my own.

“okay. If she asks where you went, say you don’t know. “They won’t even have time to worry about it because they’ll be fighting amongst themselves anyway.”

In fact, they were in a state of hectic fighting with each other, like a volcano crater that could explode at any moment.

I left the room that way and completely left the Royal Pavilion itself.

The streets of Luwen bathed in morning sunlight.

It was definitely more lively and vibrant than other dull cities.

Since the borders of the three kingdoms were close together, it was inevitable that there would be frequent traffic between them.

As a result, it was able to naturally grow into an intermediate city with developed trade and commerce.

Originally, I came up with the idea of ​​doing some preparation, including textbooks.

Since the head of the family gave everything away under the pretext of a visit, the meaning of what came out was lost.

“… … .”

It’s peaceful.

How many times have I felt such a peaceful moment in my life?

To be honest, peace was a word that didn’t really suit me.

I don’t mean to be negative, it really is.

I have done all kinds of dirty work, covered in red blood.

Walking down a street with such a friendly feeling under such a blue sky… … .

Well, it’s not very uncomfortable.

Still, it seemed like he still had at least some human affection remaining.

Wanting to do something more unsuitable for my time away, I headed to the natural park that Luwen is proud of.

A park where nameless flowers are in full bloom under the warm sunlight.

Even in my past life, when I was almost a hermit, I had only been to this place a few times.

I sat down on a suitable bench, exhaled, and looked around.

It definitely deserves to be called a landmark of Luwen.

It was decorated so splendidly that it was reminiscent of a garden in the divine world.

Traces of a slightly touristy feel, such as fountains and statues, were also seen here and there.

hmm… … .

As I was looking at this peaceful scene, my mind recalled images of pure white flowers being dyed with blood and green trees burning brightly.

Seeing things like this makes me sick too.

The moment I shook my head with the intention of changing these negative thoughts,

“… … !”

Not to brag, but I’m pretty good at smelling.

Not the smell of food or poop, but rather a malicious smell that comes from human emotions.

Exactly at 11 o’clock from my bench, under a fairly green tree, I saw four boys who were probably around my age (of course, eleven years old).

From a distance, it might look like a bunch of mischievous kids gathering to play pile drivers, but in reality, Luwen was not as harmonious a city as it seemed.

Just three people.

Three kids with no blood on their heads were bullying one kid who was currently leaning against a tree.

Judging by their behavior, I presumed that they were all students at the same academy as me.

In the first place, bullying is a vicious act that someone at that age would do.

However, this is the Royal Academy, and it is a world of nobles where you never know when and where relationships will become entangled.

They build friendships with each other, and they never do foolish things like bullying among fellow nobles.

In other words, that situation can be explained in one of two ways.

Either that bullied kid isn’t an academy student or a nobleman.

I think it’s the latter.

Perhaps that child is also a nobleman.

It’s just a formal nobility.

At the Royal Academy, there were cases where teachers sometimes took talented commoner children and had them specially admitted to the academy in order to nurture them.

However, according to the academy’s rules, children with commoner status were not allowed to enroll, so the teachers used tricks to temporarily elevate their status.

So-called honorary nobility.

Although he is an aristocrat in status, he is an empty shell without any substance on the inside.

For us pure aristocrats, whose self-esteem and pride are sky-high, it would be very unpleasant to even attend the academy with lower-class people who only have the appearance of aristocrats.

From what I remember, about five of my classmates who entered school this time were honorary nobles.

Are you going to help me? well?

To be honest, something like that is not a special situation that you only see once in a while, it is an everyday occurrence.

It’s something that won’t be strange any time you see it.

But are there many people who help? That’s not it either.

If there had been more people to help that fragile commoner friend, the harassment wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Look at me.

There are dozens of people besides me in this park right now, but we’re all passing by, right?

I know that nothing good will come of being involved.

It would be even more so if the bullies were from a well-known family.

Originally, it was said that vague help was as bad as standing by.

Even if I step in and resolve the situation, it will only be temporary.

In the end, that commoner friend will be harassed more persistently later.

It’s not like I don’t have a lot of eyes to see, but I’ll just take care of it myself… … .

-match

A refreshing burst of sound that wakes you up.

The big boy with blond hair who was holding on to his collar slapped him on the cheek.

I have good hearing, but would I have heard this much if I had hit him so hard?

-Puck, puck, puck.

A heavy hitting sound is heard one after another.

They are having a lot of fun beating their faces, stomachs, and legs.

This is the fighting training of fighters, go away.

Still, the friend who was hit seemed to have a lot of tenacity, so he stubbornly held on without collapsing.

“… … ?”

I thought I would just hit him and end it, but somehow the situation got a little more serious.

A red mana sphere held in the hand of a blond child.

The guy was trying to put it in the mouth of his commoner friend, and not anywhere else.

As the body of an eleven-year-old was just beginning to experience fluctuations in mana, it was time to adapt to it in general.

If you forcefully insert someone else’s mana that is not appropriate at such an important time, a conflict may occur, and if you make a mistake, the flow of mana itself may collapse.

Then, let alone magic, you won’t be able to even do the basics of putting mana into a weapon.

That’s almost like something you would do to the enemy who killed your parents, right?

They broke the arms of their commoner friend, held him face up, and restrained him from resisting.

They’re not just trying to scare you, they’re trying to actually commit it.

A blond kid with a mean smile that would make the devil cry.

Finally, at the moment when I was about to put the mana sphere in my hand into the mouth of my commoner friend,

“What are they doing now!?”

“… … !?”

The children’s eyes turned like owls at the bold cry full of justice.

I’m telling you this out of fear of misunderstanding, but I haven’t even been there yet.

Still, the world is not yet clean,

The apostle of justice, who could not tolerate injustice, set out to save his commoner friend.

But that apostle of justice… … Why does it look a little familiar?

“How can students do such cruel things to each other? “Aren’t you embarrassed as a noble?”

The silver hair that had grown considerably in length over the past year went well with the uniform issued by the academy.

“… … .”

Our children seemed to have sensed that an unusual nobleman had appeared, so they took a step back from her.

Arryn Sebellus.

The 5th princess of the Usif Empire.

When I saw her for the first time in a year, there was a venom in her eyes that I had never seen before.
