Academy’s Power Master

call

In less than a day, news of an honorary duel with Duke Berry spread throughout the academy.

– An honor duel? 1st graders?

– Wow, that’s good too. What do you believe in an honor duel?

– Your opponent is Heize? That… you idiot who hated all three factions.

– But contrary to the rumors, it seems to be quite good. A junior in the knights department I know in my first year tells me that strength is no joke.

-Hey, what do you do when you’re strong? There were rumors that he was half a penny, not even collecting mana. A fool who is only strong will never survive. Can you graduate in the first place?

– That’s right.

Naturally, most of it has spread in a bad way for me.

No matter how much I revise and revisit my evaluation, it was impossible not to.

Because I, Heize, was a head that hated the commoners, the aristocrats, and the imperial faction.

No matter how great my talents are, if I look hateful to my superiors, and if I am a tall person who can’t even collect mana, I don’t think he will come close to me.

so that-

“Hey! Is it true that you are fighting an honorary duel with Duke Berry!”

“Uh, right?”

“…you idiot! You know what he’s going to ask of you…!”

“In the academy, there are no honorable duels, but once you apply, how do you do it almost unconditionally?”

“Ugh- he’ll definitely want your expulsion. Expulsion from the academy!”

It was a little strange to see Marlon Haster, who had been broken by Dalian to me yesterday, doing this in front of me.

When I think about why the guy who needs to sharpen his teeth is doing this in front of me.

“…not because I’m worried about you, but to repay yesterday’s disgrace!”

“Aha, yes. thanks for your effort. And I don’t want to lose, so don’t worry.”

“…I never worried. I want a commoner like you-”

“Hey, that’s my name. By the way, why are you calling me a commoner again this time?”

“….Shut up! It’s class time!”

Did puberty come and why?

I looked at the clock in the classroom as Marlon strode back to his seat without speaking, but there were still ten minutes left for class to begin.

“…what is he really doing?”

Even after returning to my seat, I shook my head as I watched Marlon, who could not quench his anger, and resolved his anger toward his nephews with courage.

“Let’s get ready for class.”

One week until the honor duel.

But that didn’t really change my daily life.

*

After the morning class, I had lunch with Natasha, who took the knight class today, and Bella, who took the magic class alone, and I was able to finish the afternoon class without problems.

thud-

“…Thank you, Heize.”

“It’s okay, I tend to close my eyes or dodge when attacking, so just compensate for that. Then it will be easier to attack and dodge.”

“yes! I will try!”

After the last match, I explained to my classmate what needs to be fixed, and I grabbed my hand, got up and patted the shoulder of my classmate with a smile.

Even though I was a classmate, Natasha was the only person in this class who could beat me or face me on an equal footing, so I had no choice but to do it.

thud-

“Aww- Natasha is too strong.”

“Sally, you are strong too. You might even be stronger than me!”

“…Yes, I will try.”

On one side, Natasha, the only one I couldn’t beat, was leading the other student.

It looks like Natasha and I became assistant professors after this, but it wasn’t too bad.

“The class ends with this. Everyone is welcome to go back. and Hayes. Just leave you alone for a while.”

“….yes.”

“Heize, I’ll wait outside.”

“It won’t take long.”

“Yes, Professor.”

As soon as class was over, Nathansa, who was close to me, smiled softly, greeted Belmont and left the dungeon.

He must have realized that Belmont had asked to see me because of what happened yesterday.

By the way, Bella was worried when the honorary duel was declared yesterday, but Natasha-

-Heize is great, so I will definitely win. So I’m not worried.

….he said.

Duke Berry’s is almost certain to be number one in the first-year magic department, except for Bella and Natasha, but to Natasha, she was just one of those kids.

Anyway.

The moment I was about to open my mouth first because the two of us were left alone in the large dungeon.

“Why?”

Professor Belmont’s characteristic unfeeling voice was heard.

However, I spit out the words I had been thinking about in a voice filled with reproach.

“It happened suddenly.”

“You had the ability to dodge.”

“You can’t avoid an honor duel just by teasing yourself. Do you even know the professor? what i did a few days ago So you know better.”

“….hehehehe.”

a few days ago.

At that time, I waged an honorary duel against the ‘Princess’ served by Professor Belmont.

Well, it’s not who I am now, but the age of the past.

Anyway, knowing that avoiding an honor duel is not avoiding it, Professor Belmont coughed and looked at me with serious eyes and said:

“Let me soften.”

“….Yes?”

soft

Duke Berry breaks the honor duel against me.

In fact, it wasn’t difficult to win an honor duel.

It’s only through mutual agreement that both of them agree to soft.

It’s easy and it’s hard

But for Belmont Agerion, not Professor Belmont, it seemed like an easy task.

“Student Duke. No, Duke Berry is a child I’ve known since childhood. The child’s family, the Beris family, also came from a branch of the imperial family. My family, the Agerion family, is a noble family. Our families have a lot of overlapping things.”

“…the professor himself uses his own power to soften the honor duel. Not as a professor, but as a member of the Agerion family.”

“It’s embarrassing… but you’re right. I don’t want you to receive a ‘recommendation for expulsion’ in the name of an honorary duel.”

Discrimination against students as professors.

Somehow, Belmont knows it doesn’t.

Because there is no special treatment for lack of ability or not.

Today, Natasha and I acted as assistant professors in an absurd role, not by treating us special, but by giving a class that was right for us.

‘Yesterday’s me is a bit of an exception.’

The insult to the princess by Belmont, who was born into a family serving the emperor, must have been enough to make him forget his role as a professor.

I understand enough.

You are insulting someone who is as loyal as your life, perhaps even more loyal than your life.

It was no different from what he was saying now that he would give me preferential treatment.

“Why? I know the professor is not like this. But I wonder why you are doing this to me.”

So, I did not hide my curiosity and let it go without regret.

To answer the question of why Belmont is giving me such a privilege or equal help-

But the answer was very simple.

“Because you are greedy. I am craving for your talent to use this kind of power even without mana.”

I am greedy

You may not have seen the potential of SSS-level muscle strength, but at the very least, the ability of a 15-year-old, academy freshman to defeat a professor and breaking 10 creed twigs with only his strength must have been impressive.

of course-

“I have Natasha. No, Natasha is actually better than me in a lot of ways.”

Because Natashara has Munchkins, it was not a word that came to mind.

warrior’s talent.

It’s not just stats, but swordsmanship, magic, and spirits.

Because it was a rare morale trait that applied to all abilities in the world.

Nevertheless, Belmont’s eyes were fixed on me.

It’s like I can’t imagine anyone else but me.

And so were the words that came out through the gaping mouth.

“The stars of the Academy and the stars of the Knights Department are two different things. And the stars of the Academy contain many things, but the stars of the Knights Department are literally one star. I think I could be a knight among knights.”

“…you mean I’m better than Natasha?”

“It will be seen that way in the eyes of others. But at least not so much to my eyes. That’s why I don’t want you to have an honor duel.”

It was amazing.

It was very strange to see Belmont, who had always shown a solemn and pedagogical aspect in the game, to serve as an excellent knight in front of me as an educator and knight.

More than anything else, I felt something about him that made my heart ache.

but.

“I will.”

I didn’t want to give up.

“Today is the last day. Duke has already met Princess Leila, Princess Shan Andrea, and Miss Melodine. As she is a member of the Imperial Family, she will accept Princess Laila’s message, and so will the Princess. Miss Melodine… I don’t know.”

“It means that even if you want to soften from tomorrow, you can’t.”

“Yeah, from tomorrow on, it’s not just about Duke and you, it’s going to be something that involves not only the head of Sampa, but also the professor in charge of Duke. The only thing I can do is cut the blue thing out of the tight knot.”

At the end of the day, I replied with a smirk as he looked worried until the very end.

“…do you know the word force majeure? And that’s what you should have done anyway. If it wasn’t for Duke, another student. Maybe it was the 2nd or 3rd year students. Rather, this is better.”

“…you all have an idea. I would have agreed if- very if a second-year, maybe a third-year knight student other than the Duke had asked you for an honorary duel. But… a knight without mana cannot defeat a wizard.”

“I know. A ‘normal’ article would. Well, in the first place, most ordinary knights would have mana.”

“Are you going to do it anyway? You are still unfinished. That said, there is still more work to be done. I’m sure in a few more months you’ll be a knight who can easily crush a Duke without mana. Would you still do it?”

A knight without mana defeats a fairly capable wizard in just a few months.

It was absurd, but the conviction in Professor Belmont’s eyes was never false.

I nodded as I received the gaze that seemed to say that I would definitely do it, that I would make it myself.

“Yes.”

“…do as you please. And since you are the professor in charge, the referee will look out for you. There will be no other professors anyway.”

“Well, there is, but I would appreciate it if the professor would do it.”

“…is there? Do you know any professors?”

If it’s a normal first year, it’s normal for there to be no professors that you know or have close acquaintances with except for your professor.

Even so, Professor Belmont seemed quite surprised to hear that there was a professor I knew, but-

“I’ve become close with Professor Pena.”

“…well, I’ve been in and out of the health room for the past few days, so I’m sure my face has improved. I’ll take it though. A professor of knights would be better than a health teacher.”

“Yes, thank you for your concern.”

As a result, an honor duel became inevitable.

The third strongest wizard among first-year students.

Aside from the fact that the 1st and 2nd places are destructively strong, Duke Berrys, a wizard who can be said to be the first in the human world.

Recalling that an honorable duel with him had been concluded, I stood up.

“Is there any way?”

“Professor Departe in the weight room said he would do a personal PT.”

“….under! Are you really- you hired him in just one day?”

“It’s not a cast….. He just looked at my body and said that he wanted to do PT, and he said that he would give me a full meal for free.”

“Yeah… he deserves to know your worth.”

Professor Depart.

The moment he heard the name, Belmont forgot his face and smiled broadly.

I knew there was going to be something, but I never imagined that ‘Department of Superpower’ would do a personal PT for me.

“one week. We will come back to you in the most complete form.”

“It will be difficult. I acknowledge his ability, but it will be a hard time waiting for him.”

“it’s okay. I also made a promise. And above all – I’ve got some clues about mana. Maybe at the honor duel in a week or so… I can show you something.”

“…Hah ha ha ha! Yes, I can’t wait to see what Duke-kun’s expression will be when a knight without mana comes to the duel with mana.”

Depart Kane’s personal PT and mana.

Belmont smiled involuntarily at the thought of Heize, who took two steps and took one step further to appear a week later.

“Then let’s go.”

“I look forward to it.”

“Ah, have you ever met the Crown Princess?”

“…not often. But why?”

“Can you give me an apology instead of saying I’m sorry a few days ago?”

“…it’s not hard. But I’ll make room for you later, so let’s do it one more time.”

“Thank you for your help as always.”

“If you are a professor, you should know how to care for students. Let me go.”

“yes.”

I don’t get along very well with the princess, of course, with the heads of all factions, but relations must be improved in some way. After saying that, I left the theater.

‘After school, I said I was going to the health room by 10 o’clock…. I can go to the weight room and go straight after receiving PT.’

Walpurgis du Peña.

Because she had a call.
