The Academy’s Savage Swordsman

14. Academy

It was a week after I had run away when the Count arrived at the Duchy.

That is, when I was knocked out fighting Chantalka and about three days had passed since I woke up.

Originally, they would have followed me as soon as I ran away, but the situation was not so good. Two expert-class knights were hired for actual combat, which was not there originally, and thus a hole was made in the management of the territory.

The number of tasks and paperwork that the count had to fill out grew like a mountain, and in the midst of that, I even ran away from home. No matter how stupid the count was, he couldn’t come all the way to the north as long as he was busy with construction work.

It is said that he was contacted by the duke, so he calmed down and came to the north right after processing all the paperwork.

“I heard the story. Kyle.”

Seeing me lying in bed and recuperating, the Count’s eyes twinkled as if he had heard the details from Duke Walter.

Even though he is my son, his eyes mixed with emotions and anticipation as if he couldn’t believe it. Receiving those eyes, I lifted the barbell I was using for rehabilitation.

“This one?”

An intense aura flows from the steel barbell. Aura Blade. A master’s unique ability to bring out an aura from the outside of the body.

The Count, who witnessed the power with his own eyes, looked at me with eyes filled with various emotions, then nodded as if he had completed it.

“It was true. I couldn’t believe it… … .”

“Ah, who scams you with something like this? If you can’t prove it, it’s over.”

“Anyway, becoming a master in my teens is a bit… … .”

Saying that, the Count began to explain how astonishing this was. If other Masters find out that I became a Master in my teens, they will bite their tongues, or all kinds of families will gossip about me to get my seed.

Hearing that, I laughed hahahaha, saying that it couldn’t be.

“I already have a fiancé?”

“I wouldn’t mind that. Even a concubine would be good. For now, if they can only receive your seed—their own family might be able to have a Master as well.”

That’s why it was terrifying to become a master in my teens. And from the time I heard that I had risen to Master, it seemed that the Count had decided how I should act.

He suggested cautiously.

“Go to the academy.”

“… … Yes? Why am I there?”

Hearing the Count’s words, I tilted my head. It’s an academy, why am I saying that? A place of education and meeting that attracts talented people, regardless of whether they are nobles or commoners. Of course, there was not a single thing that I, the Master, could go and learn.

However, the count quietly crossed his head and gave reasons why I should go to the academy.

“I want you to go and meet people, experience them—and realize how much power you have.”

“Isn’t there anything to learn?”

“Go anyway. It is a wish. Only 3 years to go… … Just give me three years.”

Saying that, the Count began to weep. The old man’s tears were hard to watch – I quickly waved my hand to stop the count from stealing them.

“No, Dad! father! Why are you suddenly like that!”

“Please consider this father’s heart… How I felt when I first heard that you had run away… What about when I heard that you almost died here?”

“I wish I hadn’t died… … .”

“If you die. The Mayer family, which has a history of hundreds of years, may lose its existence as it is. Go to the academy and make a successor. please. It’s not like this father wants a lot! Just stay calm for three years!”

Later, the count made a noise as if he was forced to do so. I couldn’t help but worry about that look. To be precise, I pretended to be worried.

In fact, there is nothing to learn just because I go to the academy. However- this world is the world of the game ＜Dylos Academy＞. Numerous events take place inside the academy.

The Count, who didn’t know that this world was a game, wouldn’t have known, but in fact, I would have headed to the academy even if the Count told me not to go.

‘Rather, it went well.’

There was no justification for a master-level talent to be stuck in the academy, but rather, the Count recommended it first?

Doesn’t this feel like heaven pushing us to go to the academy? As if I couldn’t help it, I shook my head and opened my mouth.

“… … If Dad says that, I can’t help it.”

“then?”

“I’ll go in. Academy.”

“Ohh- Kyle… … !”

The Count looked at me with extremely moved eyes. Somehow, I think I’m more happy now than when I found out I’ve become a Master.

However, he reached out his hand towards the count who was so happy.

Looking at him who tilted his head at what was going on, I said a few conditions.

“—After graduating from the academy, I will do as I please.”

“So be it.”

“Even if I say I won’t inherit the family?”

“If you only make an heir—there is no need for you to succeed. I will also educate my grandchildren well.”

Okay, I also received a confirmation that I would take care of childcare for them. I smiled and held out my hand.

“Can’t you put it off for later?”

“It’s no use even if you insist on saying you don’t want to go later.”

We shook hands and agreed. After promises comparable to the Alaska Treaty came and went, smiles spread across their faces.

* * *

A carriage with the symbol of the duchy runs on the road. One chariot was followed by three chariots – dozens of horsemen followed around the chariot.

The bandits, who might have wondered what was inside the wagon, were so vicious that they fled in fear.

However, if you heard who was riding in this wagon, you would have known that even the troops were not a big deal.

“Kyle.”

“Why?”

“I just called.”

In the carriage heading to the academy, Yuri kept calling Kyle’s name in front of her, as if she couldn’t believe the situation in which she and her fiancé were on the carriage alone.

Kyle responded with a big smile the first few times, but when the frequency exceeded double digits, he responded with an apathetic tone.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

No matter how pretty and big-breasted a fiancé is, there is a limit.

Of course, just because Kyle treated her badly didn’t stop her from calling her out.

“Kyle.”

“Why?”

“How did you do it?”

“What?”

“My father gave permission——he’s the kind of person who won’t do anything.”

At those words, Kyle remembered the conversation he had with the Duke. Then, he rested his chin lightly and looked out the window.

“well.”

“I’m curious. Can’t you tell me?”

“Afterwards. I’ll let you know as a wedding present.”

Only four people knew that he had become a Master. The duke and the count, and the doctor and the priest who treated his injuries.

First of all, I decided to keep it a secret except for the four of us. The duke’s idea was that it would be better to hide it, not knowing what kind of trouble would happen if he revealed that he had become a Master when he was a teenager.

Since it was the brainy duke’s idea, there was no disagreement, so Kyle did not reveal to his fiancé that he had become a master. I couldn’t say exactly.

Kyle, who couldn’t tell the secret, naturally changed the topic.

“No, more than that— aren’t you even worried?”

“what?”

“Academy exams.”

“It won’t be that difficult.”

After hearing Yuri’s words, Kyle realized that she was the daughter of a duke. The daughter of Duke Walter Grace, a sixth-class magician.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Naturally, she was also a wizard. He is also a wizard of two stars.

According to the classification method I heard from Sir Leon the other day, he is a person with abilities at the end of the Auror user base.

‘Is it normal to hear the sound of a genius even at this level?’

A genius who reached the level of an expert in his teens was an exceptional genius to the extent that rumors circulated that he would reach the level of a master one day.

It’s a matter of course, but there was no way such a genius could be so overflowing. It was not enough to reach the level of an expert as soon as he learned an aura, so Kyle, who reached the level of a master when he was a teenager, was abnormal.

Look at that elated expression. Kyle stared at his fiancée’s face and felt the carriage slow down.

“—We have arrived. Lady, Bocchan.”

Upon arriving at the academy, the coachman immediately opened the carriage door and waited for the two to get off. Kyle lightly jumped off the carriage and reached out from under the carriage to escort Yuri.

Yuri, who lightly grabbed Kyle’s hand and got off the carriage, raised the bridge of his nose slightly, feeling the envy and jealous glances of the people around him.

“Kyle.”

“yes?”

“how. How does your fiancé feel?”

“Do you think it will be similar to how you feel?”

Kyle burst into laughter and headed into the academy with Yuri.

The staff who had been waiting at the exam reception desk, yawning, immediately stood up and greeted the two.

“Oh, welcome!”

The staff stuttered a little, as if the fact that Gwyti seemed relaxed in front of Kyle and Yuri, two people who were likely to be nobles, seemed very uneasy.

Kyle didn’t pay attention to the employee’s way of speaking, and straight up got to the point.

“I came to take the academy entrance exam. Right here, right?”

“Yep! That’s right!”

The employee said that and immediately took out a document and finished preparing to write the personal details of the two people on it.

“May I ask your names?”

“Yuri Grace.”

“Kyle Meyer of the House of Count Meyer.”

“thank you. The written exam can be taken anytime from now until one week later, and the practical exam will be held at once one week later. What would you like to do?”

Kyle tilted his head at the idea that he could take the written exam at any time, and asked how that was possible.

Traditionally, it is a law to keep in mind that the problem of the test will be exposed, so the member who submitted the test question is imprisoned until the test is over… … .

However, the employee smiled shyly as if he did not know such details.

“Shall we take the test now? I don’t think preparing for a week will change anything anyway.”

“yes.”

“Then let’s see now.”

At Kyle’s words that he would take the exam, the staff escorted the two to the exam room. When they went inside the exam hall, the wizard who was waiting there came out to meet them.

“Nice to meet you. Written exam supervisor. Before the test begins, please eat this.”

Saying so, the supervisor handed out a small pill to the two of them. Sensing the flow of magical power felt inside the pill, Kyle looked at the supervisor asking what it was.

The supervisor, who looked at the two as if they were annoying, carefully told them the identity of the pills.

“It’s a pill that prevents you from remembering exam questions. Please note that you will not be able to take the non-attendance test.”

I don’t know how that’s possible, but I can roughly understand why the written test questions aren’t leaked.

Like a fantasy where magic exists, it was to prevent leakage in a magical way.

Kyle, who thought it was so great, put the pill into his mouth, and immediately felt the magical energy emanating from the pill crawling up to his brain.

Roaring!

‘… … uh?’

After confirming that the aura inside him was burning the magical power that had risen, Kyle scratched his cheek and asked the wizard.

“What if my memory is not erased?”

“It’s an item made to erase even the memories of expert-class knights, so there’s no such thing.”

“ah.”

At those words, Kyle looked at the wizard as if embarrassed. Very few people reach the level of an expert in their teens.

There is no precedent for someone who reached mastery in their teens. There was no need to prepare for cases where no precedent existed.

However, at this moment, he appeared to break that precedent.

‘Well, as long as I don’t spill it, it’ll be fine… .’

Kyle thought so and sat down. Seeing the two of them fall apart, the supervisor immediately handed over the test paper.

After receiving the test paper, Kyle began to break out in a cold sweat.

‘… … It’s a big deal.’

[Problem 1. Write the name of His Majesty, the first emperor of the great empire]

I do not know.

From the first question, an unknown problem arose.

However, since I can’t honestly write that I don’t know, I lightly shake my mouth.

[I cannot speak of the name of the great Emperor Dyros.]

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Next.

[Problem 2. Introducing the history of Dyros Academy… … ]

I don’t know.

[Problem 5. Measure the tree with a 50 cm stick. At this time, the proportion of the shadow cast by the tree… … .]

… … run and measure?

[Problem 17. Describe how to deal with 5000 soldiers with 300 soldiers.]

Halfway through, a problem came up that he could barely understand.

Kyle confidently wrote down the correct answer.

However, looking at the next problem and the next problem, there were not many problems to know.

Realizing that he had botched his exam, Kyle realized that he might not be accepted into the academy if he didn’t make up for it on the practical exam.

* * *

a week later

On the day of the practical test.

Kyle narrowed his eyes as he looked at the test tube in front of him.

“—Nice to meet you.”

It was because unbelievably powerful momentum emanated from the old, ugly knight in front of him.

That is, master.

“Engineering department, Practical test supervisor. It’s Gawain. I will start the practical test from now on.”

Superintendent, Gawain said that and pulled out the sword hanging from his waist.

“Come on all at once.”
