Duel (6)

The staff facing me wasn’t a threat, but it certainly had magical powers.

I couldn’t understand why she was so hostile to me, whom I didn’t know.

However, what was important was the reality that the staff were now aimed at the Archmage, not the other wizards.

‘Can I fire faster than I can trigger?’

As one of only a few archmage in the kingdom, she also had a wealth of practical experience.

Although in the original work that power was rarely exerted on the enemy who invaded the Academy, its status did not go down.

“It is such an honor for the dean to remember my name, just after I entered the school.”

“It is natural to remember the student’s name. Besides, I’ve heard your rumors even to my ears. than that… .”

Marina put more magic into the staff and urged me to answer.

“Student Ian, please answer the question. What did you do?”

“I do not know… . I was still and was attacked. But when a student is attacked, isn’t it the first thing to worry about?”

“Students who are attacked don’t look so happy. And I was watching everything from the middle.”

“… From the middle?”

Come to think of it, was it the setting that the academy had a barrier that Marina could know immediately if a certain level of destruction occurred… .

Each time the academy was attacked, Marina was on a business trip or the barrier was tampered with, so it was a setting that became infamous, so I forgot it for a while.

‘Why is this yangban so incompetent against his enemies and so capable against his students?’

If he had been this competent in the original, half of the Academy Heist would have been canceled before it even started.

“… Where have you been watching?”

“Since you were blown to the fountain by Sir Peter.”

From the fountain, you still don’t know what I’m doing wrong?

I felt like I was framed for seeing Marina who was driving me to my fault without knowing it well, so I said bluntly to Marina.

“How does the dean know if I was wrong just by looking at that? If you know that much, shouldn’t you be a detective rather than a dean?”

“If it was another student, I wouldn’t have done this, but in the case of Ian, it’s a natural thing to do considering his usual behavior.”

“No, how’s my usual behavior?!”

It was me who heard the voice of sincerity even in KAXX, where only schoolboys gather.

What’s wrong with not seeing me like that for a week?

Even though I had a discussion with my professor about baldosu, and I had to drop out due to a dishonorable matter, it was completely unacceptable.

“Excluding the events that occurred before admission and what could be seen as self-defense, Ian’s behavior cannot be said to be good with empty words.”

“So what!!”

“During the Dalian class, I tried to spread the lives of the students, show a hostile attitude toward the teachers, and use the violence in the name of Dalian. And although this has not been confirmed yet, there are reports that a loud noise was heard when student Ian went out into the city… .”

“You are trying to use violence! I just asked the teacher for a match!”

“I heard a testimonial that I told my opponent I was going to break a rib in the last Dalian before I asked for it. What’s the difference between saying that I’m going to break your ribs to apply for Dalian after that?”

“That is an over-exaggeration! And unconfirmed things like noise… .”

As I was about to talk, I remembered what happened when I split a metal ball at the blacksmith and shut my mouth.

When I suddenly shut my mouth, Marina let out a deep sigh.

“… … You seem to have something to point out.”

“… … yes.”

However, it cannot be said that this is my own fault, I just had to do it because Otar told me to do it.

But, not listening to my situation, Marina continued.

“As far as I know, this is the first time Ian has been penalized in the academy in just two days.”

“… Everyone gets a penalty point at least once, right?”

“Sir Peter, a student who received the demerit points that everyone receives at least once in just two days, and as the commander of the Royal 4th Knights, and is known as an honorable knight.”

Marina said so and asked if it was obvious which one to suspect if there was a problem between the two.

“… Are you the leader of the Royal 4th Knights?”

“That’s right. He retired last year.”

Since I was a swordsman, I thought I was too strong for an academy teacher, but it must have been the leader of the Royal Knights.

‘Then, are your skills similar to Jessica Papa’s or a little more powerful?’

As the Royal Knights symbolize the power of the royal family, no one could take the lead.

Right away, in the original story, the next knight leader, Vector Ee, who was next to the second prince, was a powerful person who could subdue the demons alone.

If I had such a career and was called an honorable knight, I would definitely doubt myself first.

“But what if the teacher doesn’t trust the student?”

“If you want to be trusted, build trust first and then speak.”

“her… .”

A person who doesn’t have a lot of friends and hardly ever gets a chance to talk, is very good at one thing… .

“The dean is really good at talking. How can you speak so well? Can I talk a lot with my friends since school days?”

“… … be quiet.”

As we were having that conversation, the one who had blown me here slowly approached me.

‘… Were you waiting for me to come out?’

Or was it that I was concerned that I would change my attitude and use the student as a shield to fight?

Either way, waiting for me to come out gave even more strength to the hypothesis I thought of earlier.

When I saw Peter approaching me with a lifelike appearance and took a pose, Marina stepped forward and said:

“Sir Peter. calm down. Under no circumstances will we ever see a teacher kill a student.”

“That guy is an exception!! He’s the guy who killed a student using a duel as an excuse!!”

“Kill the student… ? I don’t know what you’re talking about, but my barrier also detects student deaths. There are no dead students.”

Were there any settings like that?

But even if you have such a setting, when you think it won’t be helpful when you’re still in the car.

“Student Ian, tell me what happened.”

Marina asked me a question, but I smirked.

“Didn’t you say you killed him?”

“Who is the guy who said he had his hair cut with a katana, what nonsense!!”

As if in response to that, I slowly pulled out the young bat from my waist and showed it to Peter and Marina.

“What? that… !”

“The blade is on the other side.”

It is a reverse-edged sword that can maim people, but cannot kill them.

Peter and Marina narrowed their eyes when they saw that the blade and the back of the knife were opposite, and I said calmly.

“Do you think you can kill people with a sword like this?”

“… Have you ever fought with me with such a sword? No, rather than that, what kind of hair did you show me?”

“I just got permission from Jessica to pick up what was cut off during a duel.”

“… … Did you pick up your hair? What the hell are you talking about now… .”

The two men’s dazed gazes are focused on me.

She frowned when she pulled Jessica’s hair out of her pocket and showed it to Marina, who still didn’t understand what she was saying.

“So… To summarize what I said now, after telling Sir Peter that he hit Jessica Young-ae’s head with that katana, she showed off her hair proudly?

“Yes. But even so, is it right to attack with the intention of killing the student without even checking?”

Marina heard that and was about to say something, then nodded her head and said.

“That’s what Ian said. Sir Peter?”

“Yes… .”

When Marina called, Peter answered with his head bowed like a criminal.

“Sir Peter. I am not ignorant of his ties to Sir and the Vongrinds, but that does not mean that we cannot ignore the favoritism of one student.”

“… Yes. I will be sober for the time being and reflect on myself.”

I saw the hammer and thought it was just being taught, but is there something else I don’t know?

Anyway, when the situation was roughly settled, I, who was next to Marina, stepped forward and said:

“Mr. Peter.”

“… … What?”

Peter raised his head and looked at me and said so. It was really satisfying to see that the misunderstanding was resolved but the speculation was not resolved.

“Then shall we continue?”

“What–?”

Before I could finish speaking, a young blow from my waist slammed into Peter’s empty stomach.

“ね!!”

Peter almost flew away like I did before, but he concentrated his speculation on his legs and barely managed to get out of the main building and survived.

“Student Ian!! What crazy things are you doing now!!”

“A misunderstanding is resolved, and winning is a game. If you want to shoot, you can shoot from the back.”

Having said that, I left Marina behind and approached Peter, who had already returned to the battle stance.

“Crazy guy… . You come out like this, do you think you’ll see it in front of the dean?!”

“I didn’t want to do this, but… Don’t worry about me, just run.”

Thinking my words were pretentious, Peter snorted and ran at me again.

And the hammer swung towards my head again.

The trajectory of the attack was still quite simple, but its speed and power were commendable.

I avoided the hammer being swung towards my head by a single sheet of paper, and fired the young stroke, which I had been collecting speculation on since I fired earlier, in an instant.

Youngta, pulled out of the scabbard, turned to Peter, but when he realized that Youngta was a reverse-edged sword, Peter did not avoid himself as if he was going to take it through speculation.

‘I got it… !’

From the moment he showed his young stroke earlier, he has been aiming for this situation.

Just before the shot that was pulled out in an instant and Peter’s body touched, I turned my wrist and grabbed the young shot upside down.

“Ugh… !!”

“Aww… !!”

Moans erupted from my mouth and Peter’s almost at the same time.

It was because I applied excessive force to my wrist, and Peter was torn by the back of Youngta’s knife.

Youngta, whose speculation was concentrated on the back of the knife rather than on the blunt blade part, boasted a sharpness that could not be compared with before.

With that sharpness, he tore Peter’s fighting spirit, and as he tore the clothes and flesh he was protecting, a considerable amount of blood splattered into the air.

As expected, inside the building, it was impossible to use the technology to dissipate the shock that was shown from the outside.

“Ugh!!”

Peter collapsed due to sudden bleeding, and I took it as an opportunity, forgetting the pain I felt in my wrist, and led Yeongta.

And the moment you want to step again.

“That’s it!!”

A white-eyed sword was aimed at me, blocking the distance between me and Peter.

“If there is another attack there, I will expel you with the dean’s authority.”

“… … .”

The former knight commander’s neck is desirable, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be expelled from the academy.

Countless times, when he took his hand off the hilt, Marina said with a stern look that didn’t suit him.

“Ian Bar Tow. 20 demerit points. And I am ordered to serve three weeks in prison.”
