I Became an Academy Baldo User

Duel (1)

Really

If you sit on a bench and listen quietly, you hear a rumor about a man riding on the wind.

Someone said that they threw a cake at the young girl of the vongrind family before entering school.

Someone said that from the first day of school, three seniors in their second year were severely beaten.

Someone said that in the first battle, everyone was afraid of him, so they did not even dare to fight a sword and surrendered immediately.

Someone said he was dissatisfied with it, so he told the teacher to fight him, and then he got penalized.

All of them were just abnormal and absurd things, so it was something that would unintentionally doubt their ears.

‘… That person must have ordered the reverse blade sword.’

Considering Otar-sama’s words that he had talent but was a madman, it was clear that the man named Ian was the one who ordered the reverse-edged sword.

At first, I tried to meet Otar-sama because there was something he had to say, but I was reluctant to meet him because I heard rumors like that.

He’s like a crazy dog who just asks anyone when he hears rumors, but what kind of damage will happen if he goes and goes wrong?

‘… It’s not a good thing to be a swordsman’s family.’

If others hear it, it’s a luxury concern, but sometimes I think that it would have been better if I was just born into an ordinary family or commoner.

No matter what I do, it always comes with the tag of a child of a swordsman, so I can’t set myself free.

The only people who gather around are people like flying flies who fear that if they squirm, anything congo will fall.

When I hear a rattle between people who only look at my name and not me, I feel skeptical as to why I am doing this.

‘… I’m not the one who becomes a swordsman anyway.’

I don’t really want to become a swordsman, but it’s my sister, not me, who becomes a swordsman anyway.

Even as the younger sister of a swordsman, I can’t even become a substitute for having only vague talents. So it would be better to just ignore it.

‘… Isn’t that guy weaker than your sister?’

It is commendable for his ability to cut a white rose, a work of art made by master craftsman Otar at the same age as me.

But no matter what, she won’t be able to stand up to her.

Because my sister is a person who was born with blessings from God just like her father.

Its strength, which could be classified as the same human being, was so strong that it was more than awe-inspiring and even frightening every time I saw it.

However, even half of that swordsmanship is fine, so it would be nice if you could learn how to act in your own way… .

If my sister had been here, I would have rushed to the man named Ian if she didn’t even think about her position and looked interesting.

Of course, if it were my sister’s skill, it wouldn’t be a situation that I would be concerned about, but even so, it was a problem for the person carrying the name of the next swordsman to move recklessly.

It would be nice if my father would discipline me, but unfortunately my father is a human being like my sister.

If your sister goes into a fight that you might lose, instead of stopping her, she will laugh out loud.

It’s not the first time I’ve thought the same as if I’m the only person in this family with common sense.

After graduating from the academy, I will get married, but would it really be okay if I disappeared?

‘Because I was fine before I was born, I’m sure it’ll be fine… .’

Yeah, I’m sure it’ll be fine.

But no matter how much I thought about it, the same thoughts kept coming to my mind, and without realizing it, a sigh leaked out.

“ha… .”

Were you drawn to that sigh?

When I looked up at the gaze that was directed towards me from somewhere, there was a face I had seen several times.

“Are you having any trouble with something?”

The gray-haired old knight who appeared with those words was Peter Van Fortress.

Until last year, he served as the leader of the 4th Knights Templar, one of the strongest knights in the kingdom, but now he is a retired person.

“Sir Peter? Why go to the academy… .”

“Actually, I volunteered at the academy to train future generations. I came here to say hello in advance because I will be in charge of the class S, which will be organized soon.”

“It has not been decided yet. And if I want to say hello, I, as a student, should do it first.”

“You are as humble as you say! As a Hana Knight, I can’t let the swordsman’s son cause such trouble!”

The story was not limited to the kingdom, but for all swordsmen, the name of the sword had absolute power.

I never forgot that fact, but seeing this powerful knight lowering himself in front of me, not even the next swordsman, made me realize that fact anew.

“Thank you for saying that.”

“What do you say! So, what were you worried about?”

“Actually, it’s not a big deal, Sir Peter… . No, as you know, there are rumors these days.”

“rumor… . Are you talking about that little boy named Ian?”

When Ian’s name appeared, Peter frowned in displeasure.

It may be because I’ve lived a savvy life as a knight, but I guessed that it wasn’t the only thing I saw when I saw the hammer attached to Peter’s waist.

Hammer, this is just a guess, but he must have been a knight taught by the Fongrinds.

He must have been outraged by his demeaning behavior towards the Academy, but it must have been unbearable as a knight to be disrespectful to a woman of the vongrind family who had been indebted to him more than that.

“Are you familiar with that kid?”

“There is no direct acquaintance. I just hear his story from Otar.”

“Otar-sama?”

Peter’s eyes widened when the name came out in the realm, which no unintelligible could know.

But when he told Peter what he had heard that day for a moment, Peter’s eyes narrowed, and then he smirked.

“He must have aged like me. Such a kid is the companion of the swordsman.”

“Of course, you didn’t really think so. I just wanted to say that I looked that strong.”

“Still, it’s too much. But what are you worrying about?”

“… Oh, I forgot to say. Actually, Otar-sama said something, so I wanted to meet him, but I was hesitant because of the rumors, so I was in trouble.”

Even though I am not the next swordsman, I am also a member of the swordsman family, so what would happen if I was defeated or ran away from a fight?

Even though I didn’t say everything, he realized my troubles and said with a refreshing smile.

“I understand what you said. Then I will solve the problem.”

“Are you a teacher?”

“Yeah, actually, I was going to give you a little bit of attention, but let’s take a look at the man’s personality and talk about it.”

“… Yes. As rumored, if you’re not a rabid person, it might be worth talking to. So is it okay if I ask you?”

“Of course! Leave it to me and you can even chat with your fiancée comfortably!”

When the word “fiance” came out, I stiffened for a moment, but then I nodded and said.

“… Yes. Then we will accept the favor and do so.”

Having said that, Peter left with a proud smile, and I was left alone on the bench again.

Chatting with my fiance… .

I’m sure I’ll have to work harder, because even if he doesn’t see me as a woman, that’s the only way for me.

‘Sir Euclid… What I’m telling you, is it that you don’t like it?’

*****

“Why did you do this?!”

“Ah, girl!! calm down!! Getting angry is not a problem that can be solved!!”

“What do you mean by calming down?! That man is real!!!”

Now his head is spinning with anger, but he knows that the maid is right.

But understanding that fact did not subside.

‘The man… !!’

In the end, rumors spread throughout the academy that the man overturned my exchange.

He had no intention of stepping down, but if the rumor had not circulated, there would have been a way to cover up the matter and ignore the man.

If the rumor had circulated a little late, I could have dealt with it somehow, but time was not on my side.

All of my followers are scared of him, so I can’t help, and now I have no choice but to go on my own.

“But, lady, what will happen if you lose… !”

“Even if you stand still, you will be trampled on!”

If he hadn’t touched it at all, if he didn’t come this far and punish the man, his family’s face would be trampled on.

Since things got so big, I had to do something, even if I had to go on my own.

I ignored the pleas of the maids and went outside, and I had a golden hammer in my hand.

This hammer was given to me by my father on my 15th birthday and was made by the famous master craftsman Prince Othar.

With this hammer that my father gave me, it was unlikely that I would lose no matter who my opponent was.

As soon as we went to the academy in the wagon that had been waiting in advance, the followers who had been waiting in advance approached the wagon.

“… Who is that man?”

“Now we are in the 3rd Training Center! If it’s now, there’s no one else but him, so you’re going now… .”

“I know. You are back now!”

As if waiting for those words, the followers returned, and I went alone to the third training center where the man was waiting.

As the followers said, there was only one man in the third training ground.

‘… You can’t even keep your mouth shut.’

The playful atmosphere had disappeared completely, and the completely focused figure made me think that it was someone else.

If I had shown such an attitude a few days earlier, this problem would not have occurred.

I resented that fact, so I purposely made loud footsteps and approached him to make him feel a little offended.

‘ … !’

After not taking a few steps, he recognized me and suddenly relaxed and looked back at me.

He didn’t say anything.

He just looked at me with blank eyes that didn’t show any emotion.

I felt bad for nothing, and in a hurry, I forgot what I was going to throw at that man and threw the glove I had prepared.

“Give it up! I will challenge you to a duel!!”

“… … .”

Ian glanced at the gloves, and picked them up right away, but that was all he said.

Seeing him seemingly taking a duel with me, I shouted at him.

“Why don’t you say anything!! I wonder if he came and got scared?!”

“… … It hasn’t been three days yet, can I tell you now? Jessica is so cute! Because you have a really big heart! But are you really going to duel? Can I walk?”

… … don’t tell me
