I Was Summoned To Be Sold as a Son-in-Law

37 – Confrontation

Go back in time a little while before Baekdori transformed.

Betty finished her academy class as usual and was heading to the training hall.

But, unlike usual, I heard the students’ murmuring in the familiar hallway.

“Is this his story?”

“You’re a martial arts teacher… Why at the academy?”

Quite a few students were gathered in the middle of the hallway.

It is a bulletin board where various posts are posted, such as academy announcements, various news, club promotions, and requests for students.

However, students were not very interested in notices or news, most club promotions were finished at the beginning of the semester, and requests for students were filled with only insignificant requests, so there were usually not many crowds like this.

Betty hesitated, but approached the place.

Because I had to pass by this place to get to the training ground.

The murmurs became more and more clear, and among them, a name that could not be ignored passed by Betty’s ears.

“Is Anderson trying to completely open up now?”

“No way, if you’re planning on opening up, the conditions won’t be this strict.”

Betty’s hesitation changed to straight and fast steps as she approached the bulletin board.

The gathered students instinctively turned around as someone approached them at high speed.

“Hey, let’s go.”

“Uh…”

When they saw Betty, they looked embarrassed and more than half of them left.

Betty no longer cared about them. It was also a familiar thing.

Focus on the request Anderson made.

– Thomas Anderson’s recruitment of short-term martial arts instructors

Betty’s eyes turn downward.

There were only three conditions, but they were quite stringent.

1. Must be the son of a count or higher.

Less than a fifth of the Academy’s students will already remain here.

No matter how much the academy focuses on children of nobles, if it is a count family, it is already a high-ranking noble family.

The number is small even among nobles.

2. Must be in the 5th grade or higher.

Another third is filtered out here.

There are a total of 6 grades.

3. The grade point average for martial arts classes must be A0 or higher.

At this point, only a handful of students currently attending the academy remain.

And Betty is included in that one finger.

Although she was a swordsman, she also showed great interest in martial arts.

Her negative personality always made her think of the worst case scenario.

Because of this, I couldn’t help but be interested in her response to losing her weapon.

And because she had overflowing magic power and overflowing knack,

Since she was in first grade, she has never missed an A+ in martial arts.

But she was hesitant to apply.

Martial arts is basically a conversation between the body without holding a weapon.

Inevitably, teachings on ultra-close combat, such as grappling and joint techniques, will be included, and in that case, the opponent will almost be hugged, or in any case, many parts of the body will be touched.

For this reason, even in the academy’s martial arts classes, practice is conducted separately by gender…

‘Wouldn’t you hate it if my body touched you…’

Betty still wasn’t confident in herself.

When she thinks back, she somehow feels like her body has been in contact with him a lot up to this point, but that’s it.

At that time, Tom didn’t show any signs of dislike… But it was all an accident.

Text classes are semi-intentional contact.

His body will also touch his ugly chest and buttocks.

I imagine those eyes that were always friendly, even towards myself, turning into a faint look of disgust.

“Ah…”

Even though his heart was pounding, Betty lifted her head and shook her head vigorously, wanting to see his gaze.

“No, no…”

“Isn’t it something?”

The dignified voice heard at that time.

There was dignity in his voice, and he spoke condescendingly even to Betty.

Even though he looks like this, he is the next Duke.

Everyone around bows to the newly appeared person.

Betty also hurriedly placed her right hand on his left chest and nodded.

“I see you.”

“It’s been a long time, Princess Beatrice, but what were you all looking at?”

She is the 1st princess Camilla Peeris, the first line of succession to the throne.

She was tall and beautiful, with her white blonde hair cut short. No, it wasn’t just her height, she was big here and there.

Perhaps it was the influence of her mother, the King.

“Wow, this is interesting. I was interested in him. I should apply.”

Coincidentally, the princess also meets all of the conditions set forth by Anderson.

Betty became impatient.

“Yes, I will support you!”

The princess’s body was similar to hers, so she felt a bit of a kinship with her for a long time.

She wasn’t confident if she was going to compete.

She had a dignified and beautiful face, and unlike Betty, she was bright, tolerant, and had leadership skills.

She knows that there are quite a few male classmates who secretly admire her.

“Hmm? I guess anyone can apply as long as they meet the conditions?”

The princess looked down at Betty and smiled playfully at her.

“Ah… Ah…”

Betty was at a loss for words.

She thought about bringing up his fiancé status, but she felt that would be too unseemly, even for Betty.

“Then what if it’s like this?”

The princess proposes to Betty in her coy tone.

“What…?”

“From now on, we will go to the training hall and have a martial arts sparring match. The loser will give up supporting the request. How about that?”

Betty thought for a moment.

Betty had never sparred until this point.

She didn’t like being noticed, and she might fail to control her magic and hurt her opponent.

Even during her class practicums, she mostly paired up with her teacher.

The people who heard rumors about Betty and tried to challenge her gave up due to continued rejection.

The princess in front of me did not give up and often challenged me to a fight.

Ever since she won a one-sided victory over the princess during a practice sparring in swordsmanship class in her first year.

“From what I heard, he has a similar physique to Abama. Does his embrace feel similar to his father’s?”

The princess looks at Betty with a bright smile.

Betty imagined the princess pressing her face against Tom’s chest.

“Let’s go to the training ground.”

“It should come out like that.”

The 3rd training ground where Betty usually swings her sword.

There are very few people during the time she uses, but today it was crowded.

Betty and the princess standing facing each other in the middle.

“What? The princess and… Princess Tyler? What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, you have to see this.”

Perhaps through word of mouth, students continued to flock to the training hall.

Of course, watching the fight is the most fun.

Even more so if they are two of the Academy’s most famous celebrities.

One is the first princess, who is considered to have the greatest talent of all time among the royal family.

The other is excessive magical power, which is said to occur once every hundred years, the second coming of a hero.

In the crowd, two third-year students are discussing the direction of the fight.

“I guess the princess will win, right? I felt a wall after watching her swordsmanship demonstration.”

“I heard that the princess once defeated her princess in first grade?”

“That’s a rumor.”

At that time, a 6th grade student joins the conversation between the two.

“It’s not a rumor. I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Seo, senior. Is that really true?”

The third grader naturally asks as if it was already a spherical question.

“Yes, but back then, we were both immature. Now, 5 years later, we can’t predict the winner.”

The three eyes turn to the center of the training ground again.

Just then the fight begins,

The princess and the princess rushed at each other.

The two had no swords at their waists and were completely unarmed.

Fists and kicks were exchanged, and sometimes an attempt was made to grab the opponent’s collar or sleeve.

The two moved faster and faster, eventually reaching a point where it was difficult for the third-year student to follow them.

“Hey, do you see that?”

“No, it seems like something is going back and forth…”

But the pupil of the 6th grader standing behind them was constantly moving and chasing them.

Meanwhile, Betty was in a difficult situation.

I continued to set the pace of the fight towards the princess, but I was worried about when and how to end it.

Actually, I was able to finish it within 5 moves as soon as I started.

On the other hand, the princess, who was moving hard and increasing the speed of her fight, gradually became worse in her expression.

Has he noticed that Betty is watching him on purpose?

“Your fiancé must be a worthless guy.”

An obvious provocation made openly.

But Thomas had become so important to Betty that she fell for that obvious provocation.

Betty’s new model instantly became so fast that even 6th graders found it difficult to recognize it, and was launched at the princess.

The blade of the hand stopped almost as it reached the neck of the princess who fell after being tripped by Betty.

“Please cancel”

The princess smiled reassuringly and raised both her hands.

“Cancel it. I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry.”

Betty sighed, withdrew her hand blades, stood up, and handed her right hand to the princess.

The princess stood up holding Betty’s hand and said.

“As expected, it was right that you couldn’t be defeated. Still, it’s refreshing. hahahaha.”

“……”

Betty didn’t respond.

“Waaa~~!!”

“Oooooh!~~!”

The students who were watching cheered in unison.

Betty, who easily won the position of Tom’s tutor, heads to the Anderson villa…

She stood face to face with him in the Anderson family dance hall.

“Well, then, let’s start with martial arts theory…”

Betty opened his mouth to explain the theory first.

‘Don’t let it get long… Don’t let it get long…’

Betty tried to be careful after hearing from her personal butler that what men hate the most is women who tell long stories that only they know.

‘No, this is a class, so it doesn’t matter?’

While I was thinking about such things, I suddenly saw an oval-shaped, pitch-black space opening behind Thomas.

‘…Huh?’

It happened so suddenly that Betty became stiff for a moment.

But the next moment, his white arms shot out from the pitch black space and tried to hug Thomas’ neck from behind.

It is a movement as if the arm is trying to strangle the neck.

Without further hesitation, Betty pulled out his sword and shot forward.

The family’s vision, ‘Balgeomsul’, is often used in emergency situations.

“Master! I can’t stand it anymore!”

‘Huh? Master?’

As soon as Betty heard those words, her body put the brakes on.

“Betty, wait!”

At the same time, Thomas cries out to stop himself.

Now the person who gave him a back hug has fully revealed itself.

Pure white hair, delicate and slender body. A frighteningly beautiful face.

The newly appeared being was a great threat to Betty.
