Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character

49 – #49. Unexpected Reunion (3)

Cozy and warm.

I realized once again that a person’s body temperature is higher than I thought.

It may be even more so since she has been drinking.

“That’s right. Nice. “He’s nice.”

“… ….”

I was patted on the back while being hugged.

Before I was possessed, I felt strange because I felt like I was being treated like a child by someone of the same age as me, but it wasn’t that bad.

In the arms of someone I haven’t seen in a long time.

I lost my parents at an early age even before I was possessed, so it may have been a long time ago.

But why is this person doing this now?

I still couldn’t follow what was going on, but I was just being asked if I was going to disobey my teacher.

… Her heart, which is not small but not too big, touches the front of me.

Also, there was a faint soapy smell coming from the neck.

“You did a really good job. Young master.”

In such a situation, Iris spoke to me.

“Regardless of my friend’s situation, Young master saved the princess, even risking her life. “If it weren’t for Young master, my request might also have failed.”

She patted my back again.

Was it because of this intention that I told him to hug me?

I once again felt kindness in her personality.

It was the same in the duchy.

After finishing work, he told a light joke to me when no one was talking to me.

She was someone who tried to give a lot of helpful advice.

For some reason, she seemed to care a lot about me.

She said, “Not only did she work hard to lose weight, it seemed like she didn’t neglect her training. Still, Laura is a sword master. Even if it’s only a little, she hurts someone like that… “You were amazing.”

“… “That’s too much praise.”

He overpowered Laura.

Iris’s swordsmanship at that time was admirable.

Not a player who uses all kinds of tricks to become stronger, but a mere resident of this world can reach that level….

Compared to me when I was a senior, she was weaker, but if I were to compare her strength to a ranking, she was at the top level.

Even at that time, unlike when Laura was in a fierce battle with me, she became even stronger through the use of a black magic that originated from human life.

The strength of Iris, who easily took Laura’s sword strikes and destroyed them, was still impressive.

“I really think it would be enough to go somewhere and boast that I am your disciple.”

“… Iris. I have a question.”

“Yes. “Please tell me.”

“Why are you being so nice to me?”

A question asked while being held.

I was purely curious.

She is a sword master.

He is called the power of the nation and is the envy and pinnacle of all prosecutors.

She was the only person in a position not to be interfered with by power.

My current position is that of a high-ranking noble duke, but that alone was no reason to treat me well.

I don’t think she was originally this kind of character.

Even in the story, rather than being the type to embrace or care for someone, he seemed cold and dull in everything he did.

“hehehe, do you want to know?”

Her tone seemed to have a small smile.

“Yes.”

“It is my greed.”

“…… ?”

As I was puzzled, she continued speaking.

“I felt that everyone in the family looked at Young master with prejudice and hatred.”

Well, it was like that.

Anyway, before being possessed, Xian was a mudslinging idiot who only caused accidents.

“I heard that Young master is the worst kind of idiot.”

That was correct.

“But the Young master I saw was different. “He always just quietly did what he did, and he was a completely different person than the rumors said.”

“I was skeptical at first, but it didn’t seem like acting. The Young master I saw was an honest man. “He was always working hard despite rumors and prejudice.”

“Honestly, it was awesome. Because I also come from a slum, I know painfully how painful it is to be exposed to prejudice. “I became who I am today by working hard to escape that.”

“Young master is a person who deserves praise. But no one did it…. Nevertheless, I wanted to be the only one for Young master who kept moving forward. “That was my desire.”

“… ….”

After listening to Iris, I had one thought.

She cares about me more than I thought… Called.

The reason I was able to persevere in my work even in the face of prejudice was because I wasn’t really a cyano.

Because I have lived like that from the beginning.

She probably thinks that I have been treated like that for a long time and that at some point, I changed as a person.

… As I said before, I am a different person from the real Xian.

That’s why I was able to stop being such a bastard, and thanks to the knowledge I gained from my time as a senior, I was able to become stronger than I was then.

But it was impossible to convey all these facts as is.

“Are you moved?”

“… Yes.”

So I pretended to be touched by her joke.

But it is true that I am grateful for her consideration.

Even if you search for someone like her in the world before possession, you won’t find it.

“If you want to learn swordsmanship in the future, please let me know. “I will be happy to let you know if I come back after vacation again.”

“… I will definitely repay the favor. Thank you.”

She bowed her head to her and expressed her sincere gratitude.

With this conversation, I continued to talk about small things with Iris, and a few hours later, we parted ways, promising to meet again next time.

… After leaving the bar, I hired a driver and headed to the academy alone.

There were two of us when heading to Dordom.

It was a lonely road home where I could feel Emil’s empty seat.

It didn’t take long.

Although this place was close to the end of the empire, it was ultimately within the empire.

One day was enough to head to Ariel Academy in the center of the empire.

When we arrived, just four days had passed since we departed for Dordom.

***

“Where have you been for a few days?”

1 Minute before morning class.

Hedy, who sat next to me at the top of the pyramid-shaped classroom in the swordsmanship department, spoke.

Although it had been 4 days since I last saw her, it felt like it had been a really long time since I had seen her.

“I went to rescue the princess.”

“… What?”

She widened her eyes.

She had no intention of hiding it from her in the first place.

Because the situation was so urgent when Stitch was written, she simply announced that she would be away for 4 days.

“Then surely… Recently, there was news that the missing princess was rescued… !”

“I didn’t save it. “I found out where the kidnapping was, so I just went to help.”

“Why didn’t you say it properly?! “If I had known that was the case, I would have gone with you!”

At that moment, Hedy raises her voice.

Then all the students preparing for class in the classroom looked at Hedy.

But Hedy didn’t care.

From the beginning, I am the kind of person who does not pay attention to what others think.

“… “You can’t take your friend to a dangerous place.”

“You can do it?! If you knew the location of the kidnapping, you could just leave it to the knights! “Why are you going to throw yourself into danger, you fool?”

“I had a guess…. “If you can do something, you should do it.”

“Do you want to keep talking back?!”

“… ….”

Hedy was talking.

A knock at the classroom door. A knock was heard.

“… “Talk to you later.”

“… ….”

Hedy quickly quiets down and looks ahead.

Soon the door swung open and someone came in.

Then the students in the classroom began to stir.

“Uh… ? Professor at the Ministry of Magic… ?”

“Wasn’t this a swordsmanship class?”

“Laura… ?”

Are the students still unaware of Laura’s death?

I heard that Laura’s treason and death spread quickly among the higher-ups.

The person who came in was Hans, a human male professor at the Ministry of Magic.

Hans, standing in the center of the classroom, spoke to us.

“I think quite a few people were embarrassed because he wasn’t the swordsmanship professor they always came to see.”

He continued to speak, and the students focused on him.

“It may be a bit surprising, but Laura will not be appearing in the future.”

“”…… ?””

Students suddenly asked, “What does this mean?” They made the same facial expressions.

“… Laura has decided to resign from her professorship due to sudden personal circumstances. There will be no reversal of this decision, and she has now returned to her hometown.”

Are you hiding the story behind it?

It was natural. The fact that a national figure called the Sword Master had planned the assassination of the royal family was shocking news that was kept secret from the upper water line.

It’s an afterimage that will be revealed someday, but since it can’t cause confusion, I guess I’ll just convey the circumstances that were created externally.

In other words, the Sword Master is a national force.

Because the strength of each person determines the odds of winning the war, the state must hide the news of their lives and deaths, even if it is due to political issues.

So, it was an issue that could never be said that your teacher Laura had planned the assassination of the royal family and was summarily executed on the spot.

… As expected, everyone reacted with shock.

Until a few days ago, she was teaching them in the atmosphere of her limited class, but she suddenly returned to her hometown without any notice.

The seats next to me were noisy.

The students who seemed to have trusted and followed her looked at Hans’ face with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

“That’s why I stand here to deliver this news. Everyone will have the same question when they hear this. “I wonder what the swordsmanship class will be like today.”

It won’t be self-study.

If you are studying on your own, you would have been notified in advance.

I don’t think I called everyone to share the news like this.

“The swordsmanship class will be held. However, with Laura gone, swordsmanship classes will not be able to proceed. So, after an emergency meeting, the academy invited another professor to teach you in the future.”

As expected from the best academy in the empire, it is a quick response.

Does this mean I can’t miss class even for a day? .

“Come in. Professor.”

Hans said, looking beyond the classroom door.

Then, the sound of someone walking outside was heard making a clicking sound.

Judging by the sound of shoe heels, it seemed like it was a female professor.

Soon, someone’s silhouette appeared from the door.

‘Uh… ?’

When I saw him, my thoughts stopped for a moment.

“Nice to meet you. “Students of Ariel Academy’s swordsmanship club.”

The students all focus on the female professor who came in.

I also couldn’t help but feel dazed even though I was concentrating.

When I was confused for a moment, the female professor in front of me began speaking to us in a calm tone.

“I am from the Principality of Brace, and this time, I was appointed to the swordsmanship department at the request of the Lyanna Empire. “Anyway, I would like to ask you to take good care of me until this semester.”

“This person is a sword master like Laura, her former professor. Therefore, there will be no problem at all with the level of class you want.”

Hans, who was next to me, added.

“I’ll say it again, she is one of the seven sword masters of the Principality of Brace….”

Hans continued.

I didn’t listen to what he said and just stared blankly at the newly appointed professor’s face.

“… “My name is Iris.”

“Please take care of me.”

The day Iris sat on the top floor, she was looking out of the corner of her eye and smiling.
