Academy Ankle Reaper

14. I can’t do that either. You racist bastards

Fists moved before words.

-Two kwang!!

Something in the shape of a person flew through the air.

It was launched with tremendous force, making a loud noise with some of the gang standing in the line of sight as its companions, before crashing into the wall.

As people flew in, the surroundings started to become noisy.

“Wow!!”

“Kyaaa!!”

“Sah.. It’s a person!!”

The one stuck to the wall is Edgar Lemnos, who slapped River a moment ago.

Adger passed out with the whites of his face exposed and his face swollen, but other than that his face was a mess, everything else seemed fine.

As expected, it must have been the skill of an intermediate level sword expert. Rather, the students involved in Edgar’s flight were severely injured.

Is it because of the five pillars of the form?

“Everyone… Hit the five pillars…!”

“Who is that?? Who is that??”

Students gather to watch the fight in the hallway.

A rumor has it that a madman who hit the five pillars has appeared, so everyone stops and gathers to watch the fight.

As Lemnos flew through the sky like garbage, the panicked look of the gang was noticeable.

As if they had never imagined that a situation like this would arise, they just watched each other and watched Lemnos fly away.

I came here with the intention of immersing myself in it, but… That’s why kids don’t do it.

“What are you going to do and just watch? Shall I go first?”

“!!”

Edgar’s gang, who were besieging my work, pulled out the weapons they were carrying around their waists.

“Atlas… you… “

River, who was knocked down by Lemnos, is also looking at me in surprise.

Various emotions can be seen in her expression.

Embarrassment, worry, sadness… And fear.

What kind of face do I have now?

I can’t see it because I don’t have a mirror, but it must have a terrible face.

“Little people..!! Do you know what you have just done!!!”

A long-haired man standing to the right of Lemnos raised his long sword and shouted.

I don’t know which family he belongs to.

If I don’t remember, it’s not a great family,

It looks like a warning, but it’s meaningless.

I know very well how dangerous it is to oppose the Five Pillars in the Empire.

But what…. You bastard just called me a dwarf, right?

“Little people? Did you just call me a dwarf?”

“Yes! I don’t know how he entered the academy, but he thought he could survive even if he turned the five pillars into enemies… “

-Paak!!!

The long-haired man’s jaw turned around after he was talking nonsense.

I’m in a hurry to pose a threat and I can’t see the enemy right in front of me… It’s a waste of a long sword that looks good.

He was also filthy tall, and it was unpleasant that he had to swing his fist in a big arc over his head, so he pushed harder.

The long-haired man, along with a few teeth, also flew into a position similar to Lemnos.

Little people? I?

Are you saying you’re a small person because you’re short?

The dwarves are about half the height of an average human, and although not as dwarf, their overall body is chubby.

It doesn’t mean that dwarves grow wild beards, and they may look like short people on the outside, but there is one huge difference between dwarves and humans.

Dwarfs, who have specially structured feet, do not wear shoes.

You don’t even know that, but you just look at people and call them dwarfs?

It’s still not enough.

It would be nice if words could prevent a fight, but what are you going to say when you’ve already reached a catastrophe?

Unpleasant emotions fill up to the bottom of the chin.

I feel like my reason will be blown away by the sticky and hot emotions like boiling tar.

Already half gone.

“This… aaa!!!!”

“Taaa!!!”

“Kill!!!”

After even the long-haired man was destroyed, the rest of the gang pulled out their weapons and rushed at me, probably thinking there was no other way.

It’s a skill with a fairly high level of difficulty to attack by combining several people without getting twisted.

Among the four weapons that were swung from all directions, the long sword is the first one to come into contact with, among the hatchets, short swords, daggers, and long swords.

What’s missing here is sewage.

One beat first, he stretches out his hand, grabs my wrist that he is stabbing with a long sword, and pulls it toward my body.

“I..!!”

“What?!”

As the body was pulled, the long sword, which collapsed, lost control of the body and fell forward.

I grabbed the long sword with my feet off the ground and lost control.

“Quaaa!!!”

As the longsword was inserted deep into the right shoulder holding the dagger, the man screamed and dropped the dagger as his hand gave out.

Then, a hand ax and a short sword came running from both sides right in front of me.

“I am a human who was born and raised in the Empire!!!!”

“!”

Towards the man with the short sword who came right in front of him, he grabbed the arm of the man with the long sword, who was still holding it in his hand, and struck him as if tossing him.

With a narrow distance difference, I confirmed that the hatchet did not reach behind my back.

“What?!”

The man with the short sword suddenly saw the man with the long sword thrown in front of him and tried to stop, but it was too late.

-Fu-wook!

“aaa!!!”

The short sword is stored inside the body of the man holding the long sword.

No matter how short it is, it is relatively short.

It can be controlled with one hand, and anything shorter than a long sword is called a short sword.

“This is..!!”

As soon as the short sword is stored in the body of the same gang, the man who does not know what to do is left behind and the man who raises the hatchet again from the other side charges.

I read the trajectory of the hatchet being swung at my head, dug into the man’s right arm, and delivered a powerful punch to the man’s right side with my left hand.

“Billion..!!!”

The man’s body floated slightly in the direction of the blow, no matter how hard he hit it.

I can feel the taste of several ribs being crushed.

The man lost his hatchet because his grip weakened, but I picked it up, grabbed his side, and put the hatchet on the fallen man’s shoulder.

-Fuck!!

“Ah… aaa!!! “

As soon as his collarbone was snapped, the man, oblivious to the pain in his side, knelt down and screamed helplessly with the hatchet stowed in his shoulder.

A hatchet was stuck in his shoulder, and a little blood splattered on his face.

As all three men who rushed with her fell down, the man holding the short sword turned pale.

“You… I think you’ll be fine with this… ?”

“…… This..”

That guy is still there.

He raises his voice, but his complexion is blue.

My voice is trembling, the fingers pointing at me are trembling, and even my vision is confused.

“J.. I can make up for it now..! I still objected to such unethical behavior.. I will try to convince you..!”

“..You racist bastards.”

“Racist.. Huh?”

The man’s head stopped.

What this guy is saying all of a sudden is a puzzled expression.

It must have been natural since they just spit it out without knowing what they were saying.

“I’m like a dwarf… no!! He’s a normal human who hasn’t finished growing yet!!”

“What?!!!!”

– Pleasant!!!!

The fist slammed down in a large arc, slamming the man’s face into the floor.

“Uh…wasn’t it?”

A familiar voice tickled my ear from somewhere in the quiet hallway.

——————————————–

I thought I would be able to have fun at the academy… It was completely different from what I expected.

“Are you Russell?”

“… “

“Come out in the evening, it’s a duel.”

“… My dueling is forbidden.”

“Don’t say anything funny. Who will be the pinnacle of the five pillars of this generation.. You or.. Me?”

“I will not duel.”

An unpleasant person I met from day one..

I have been educated and know what the five pillars are like.

The fact that Russell is one of them, and the important role our family plays… I know everything.

I also heard from my father that it would be helpful to maintain a proper relationship with the five pillars of my age.

So I had high hopes.

Because she was educated at home, it was the first time she met someone her age.

However, the five pillars that I actually saw were all strange people.

Remnos, who rudely rushes to a duel whenever he sees it, Albion, who always brings his subordinates to the lounge and treats them well,

Perda, who smiles and pretends to be good-natured, but uses a speech that brings my weaknesses to the surface and is unpleasant.

She’s the only girl of the same gender and age, and she’s beautiful, but Phrygia doesn’t understand what she’s saying… There is no normal like one.

Maybe I look the same in their eyes.

I don’t want to run into them again, but first of all, it’s my father’s order, so I can’t pretend to be with them.

That said, I wasn’t comfortable in class either.

My hair went white from the noise of the students who continued to gather around me.

I didn’t know what to say because I’d never experienced anything that attracted so many people’s attention, and I was just embarrassed.

Anyway, they seemed to want me to lead them, but I was just embarrassed to expect such a thing since I had only wielded a sword at this age.

Fortunately, the little people I met on the first day… In other words, it became the same class as Atlas.

It was nice to be in the same class as Atlas, but I couldn’t even talk properly because of the people who flocked to me every day.

‘I wanted to get closer…’

But fortunately, he didn’t seem to have such bad feelings towards me.

When we met, he didn’t seem so bad…

I felt like my stress was relieved just by watching them toddling from afar.

Relationships at the academy are very difficult, but I felt like I could get through it just by watching him walk around.

I never thought that Lemnos saw that as my weakness.

I was staring at Atlas like any other day, but someone deliberately runs past him.

It wasn’t once or twice. On that day alone, 5 times, aiming for Atlas, all other students poked Atlas little by little.

‘They… It’s Lemnos gang… ?’

They were the gang of Edgar Lemnos who stopped by the lounge from time to time.

I went and told Lemnos right away, but he didn’t even listen.

I don’t know what to do.

If he wants to duel… Should I quit?

‘But dueling… my father forbade it… ‘

When you’ve been thinking all day about family orders or Atlas’ well-being…

“Yaya, there was a fight between Lemnos and the dwarfs!!”

The incident happened the next day.

An impatient Lemnos immediately sprung into action.

‘Atlas is in danger!!’

Lemnos must also have an expert-intermediate level of skill.

Considering the skills that Atlas showed on the first day, it seems like he could be an expert even if he wasn’t good enough… It will be hard for Lemnos.

But when he got to the hallway, he realized that it was all my imagination.

In the hallways, students crawled on the ground as slugs.

“Four… save….”

Someone utters a dying cry and collapses.

He had fallen miserably, and half of his ankle had been cut off and was in a tattered state.

“You lose because you carry something like this as a weapon.”

“aaa run!!”

“Let’s hit first and run away? Absolutely not!!”

Atlas was slaughtering Lemnos’ gang with a shortsword he didn’t know where he picked it up.

It was inefficient to attack the upper body with a short sword in short stature, so rather lowered the stance and attacked the ‘lower part’ relentlessly.

“My… My legs!!!”

“Quaaa!!!!”

Someone’s calf was cut off again.

All of Lemnos’ gang, whose legs were attacked, were lying in the hallway like corpses.

From a certain moment, the onlookers could not surround Atlas.

Students, who were terrified by Atlas’ machine-like work, quietly backed away and watched him with bated breath at the end of the hallway.

So the wide hallway was filled with Atlas and Lemnos gang.

Lemnos, who was lying in a miserable state, passed out, and he stood proudly among the students who groaned as their weapons were stabbed in their bodies or their ankles were cut off.

I had such a major accident, but as if there was nothing wrong, I stood brazenly, wiping the blood from my short sword with the uniform of a fallen student.

Atlas, standing alone in the hallway where Lemnos’ gang was all crawling on the ground, seemed very gigantic, perhaps because of his imposing attitude despite being so small.

“How….”

How can you be so confident?

——————————————————————

I am confident.

I am right.

I did it because I was a bit emotional, but I am the victim.

First of all, it was Lemnos,

It was Lemnos who took out his weapon first.

It was the Lemnos gang that attacked first,

I was the first to strike at Edgar, but they were the first to attack with a weapon.

And I was about to be lynched by surrounding them with weapons, but not beating them!

No way cancer!

I am definitely the victim!!

“What… What is this guy all about!!! You are expelled, expelled!!!!”

Oh this isn’t it
