I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Professor John Hatton, Head of Combat Practice

“Yeah, is it real?”

“You mean near the dormitory?”

“okay! What kind of mask were you wearing… ”

Entering the classroom, I feel noisy today.

“By the way, he was wearing a cadet uniform?”

“yes. The strange thing is, the figure seemed blurry.”

“what? Is it a monster?”

“Academy cadets?”

It seems that the girl I met last night spread rumors.

Well, it’s okay because my true identity wasn’t revealed.

‘No, if someone investigates that I bought a bunch of cat masks at the concession stand… ‘

Then I thought I might get caught.

What kind of surplus with nothing to do would be like that.

In the first place, because of the perception-disrupting magic, he probably couldn’t even see the cat mask properly.

Someone might investigate if there’s anything stolen there, but I just checked the letter.

Everything was put together as it was, so even the postal workers won’t notice anything strange.

He was particularly careful, fearing that if he heard that someone had broken into the post office, Leo might not resent the request for a duel.

The duke receiving the letter should not feel strange, so I opened it without leaving any traces and only checked the contents.

Nothing changed or messed up.

Rather than messing with Leo’s plan, it’s better to pretend to be ignorant and use it.

Now, what I need to pay attention to is the rest of the ingredients except for the potion written in the letter.

I spend my first class worrying about various things.

Now the next class, that was combat practice.

All the class cadets headed to the gymnasium.

And what we saw was a man snoring drooping on a chair in the gym.

Combat Practice Professor John Hatton.

If I had to evaluate him in one word, it was Hanyang.

Just looking at what he usually does, he is a person who wonders how he became an academy professor.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for the ability to show off occasionally, a person who doubts that there might be some kind of kinship with the president.

“Huh… are you all here Today is a self-study.”

He says in a voice full of annoyance.

… It must be a self-study today too, Professor.

On the other hand, like the professor in charge of magic classes, there are professors who work hard until the end of the school year.

Like this person in front of me right now, there are professors who are surprised by the end of the school year anyway and waste time.

Anyway, a combat practice course using a gymnasium.

There is even a professor who teaches self-study every class.

It was the best class for a duel.

Leo knew that too, so he must have proposed a duel during combat practice class.

As I turned my head, my eyes met Leo, who was also looking at me.

We grimaced at the same time, and headed back to the professor who tried to take a nap with our hats on our faces.

“professor.”

As he said that, Professor John Hatton, who felt like he was popular, opened one eye.

“ok? What are you?”

“I want to request a duel.”

said Leo.

At those words, the professor, who had just made a face of being annoyed and dying, abruptly stood up.

It was Professor John Hatton’s bad taste.

Normally, everything bothers me, but I only show interest in things that look fun like this.

Especially, if it seems like someone is going to get into trouble.

“Oh, a duel. I was bored, but it turned out well.”

No, that’s why you’re bored because you don’t have classes.

“Okay, of course approval. I’ll come with the application, so wait.”

Leaving only those words behind, the professor disappeared from my sight in an instant.

“Professor, sleep… ”

before I even finished my words.

No, I didn’t even hear the reason for the duel?

Are you just approving it?

I put on a puzzled expression.

Leo’s scoffing noise is heard next to him.

“Why are you suddenly scared? stupid child.”

“The results will tell you if you are stupid or if I’m stupid.”

I responded indifferently, then paused for a moment.

‘Wait, wasn’t that just a flag?’

Leo laughs.

“Hey, that’s really creepy. You’re not a swordsman, you’re a clown.”

So while we were having a nerve war.

The professor who went to pick up the application reappeared as quickly as it had disappeared.

“Come on, write it! Just write it down and start a duel right away… ”

At his urging remarks, I put on an embarrassed expression again.

And Leo had a genuinely puzzled expression on his face.

“Uh, school, professor? Since we talked about having a duel during the next combat practice class… ”

Leo stutters.

I raised one corner of my mouth and spoke in the most nasty voice.

“Is it okay if I do it right now?”

Of course, it’s impossible to really have a duel today.

It’s fun enough just to see the Leo bastard flustered.

By the way, what was Professor John thinking about starting a duel right away?

“Ah, that, that… Professor, first of all, we need to select an observer among the professors… What is that, didn’t you have to ask for permission from above…? ?”

At Leo’s gibberish remarks, the professor puts on a steaming face.

“Really, it was. I forgot.”

Did you forgot it!

“Ah, it’s a shame. Anyway, the duel is the next battle practice, right?”

Leo put on a relieved expression.

We started filling out the application form.

The date and time of the duel, the reason, the price, etc.

Leo, I said I insulted him and the other party members.

I wrote the opposite.

After all, the truth doesn’t matter.

Because the words of the one who wins a duel are the truth.

We submitted the completed application form to the professor.

Maybe it’s because I’m not fighting right now.

He was a professor who showed great interest before, but now he sags again and closes his eyes.

Looking at such a figure with a slightly pathetic gaze, I left.

Just being close to that damn Leo was unpleasant.

Heading towards the corner of the gymnasium, I fell into thoughts again.

‘Swalin parchment, mana ink, alchemy solvent… ‘

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what it was for with the knowledge I had.

If it was before, maybe you should have asked Veronica.

Although Veronica’s usual actions seem a little silly, she is the successor chosen by the Red Matoda Master.

As far as magic is concerned, she would surely know.

By the way, I heard that even a tiger will come when I say it.

I was speechless, just thinking, when Veronica appeared in front of me.

I felt bad, so I just wanted to leave.

Because I didn’t want to fight again like the last time and lose my energy.

“Hey Louie! Where!”

However, Veronica does not seem to have such a mind.

she shouts at me

I glared at her with a frown on my face.

Veronica flinches, but then she points at me and yells.

“I apologize for hitting me yesterday!”

Her attitude was so confident that I was confused about whether I should apologize for a moment.

“ha… Another apology? go away.”

But there was no sign of her disappearing, so I moved on again.

Yeah, I’m just going to turn it off.

“Come on, wait! Hear me to the end!”

I don’t like the overbearing attitude until the very end.

But whatever I think, Veronica continued her story.

“You decided to duel with Leo, didn’t you? Last time, Leo, who lost to you, asked for a duel first, don’t you think there’s something strange about it?”

She tells an obvious story.

“Looking at this, Leo has some mean intentions!”

Veronica said, ‘How about, you didn’t know this?’ say to me with a

“But, what do you say?”

When my reaction is not so good, Veronica’s words become urgent.

“So! As long as you apologize to me, I’ll figure out Leo’s intentions and let you know! him, and… I apologize too… ”

At the end, Veronica’s voice crawled in, so I couldn’t hear it properly.

However, I fully understood.

Are you saying that if I give up my pride, bow down to her and apologize, I’ll let you know what Leo’s intentions are?

It was really like her trying to build up her self-esteem until the end.

Normally, you have lowered me like that, but was it unfair that he was hit again?

“no.”

I answered briefly.

“Yeah, that’s right! Whoops, go ahead and apologize… huh? what?”

Veronica said, ‘Did I hear it wrong?’ make a face

As if this scenario was not expected, Veronica stiffened.

Leo’s intentions that Veronica would tell you, I already confirmed last night.

That wasn’t the end, he was going to continue to monitor him until the duel using the newly acquired item.

Well, to be certain, it would be right to accept Veronica’s offer.

I don’t want to bow my head to her, and above all, I can’t trust Veronica.

It is also possible to ask Veronica about the use of the three ingredients written in the letter.

However, now there are other alternatives.

There’s only one other person than Veronica who could ask that.

Although I was the academy’s official accompaniment, there is one person I became close with recently.

you could ask her

I’m pretty much the student council president, and I’m even a senior, so you probably know.

“If everything is over, now… ”

I was about to tell him to go away, but I just left.

After all, he is a person who never listens to what others say.

Belatedly, Veronica called me urgently, but I started moving again to find a place to hang out in the corner of the gymnasium.
