fate

As the probation period ended today, I crossed the front door of the main academy in a really long time.

However, there was no emotion at all. On the contrary, I only sighed at the thought that I would have to take that boring class again from today.

As I said last night, Nang-a, who had been quiet, started rubbing the hilt of my hand.

“Yes, yes… not good… .”

The thought of the master was wonderful, so I whispered and gently stroked Nang-a’s hilt.

Of course, he didn’t forget to stroke Youngta behind him. Even if I don’t have an ego, I can’t discriminate between Youngta and my precious katana.

“… … Mr. Ian?”

It was when they were walking towards the central hall, whispering kind words to the two katanas.

When I turned my head to the words I suddenly heard, Hori was sending me a pathetic look as if she was looking at a pitiful person.

“Are you okay, are you okay?”

“uh… … .”

It’s only natural for a prosecutor to pour out his love for his way, but why does he want to die like this?

With my hands off the hilt, I approached Hori, who was gradually moving away from me.

“I know it’s misleading enough. I’m not crazy, so calm down.”

“Crazy… . But when I think about it, there is nothing strange about Ian-san talking to the sword. Why am I surprised?”

Even though he hadn’t made any excuses yet, Hori muttered and nodded her head.

“I’m sorry for the unnecessary fuss. Mr. Ian.”

“No, so… .”

My mouth hurts just to explain it, so I tapped Nang-a’s scabbard.

[Woof woof!!]

“uh? uh?! Oh, the sound of a dog barking from a sword… !”

“Now do you understand? I was talking to this kid.”

After explaining the situation, Hori understood everything and looked at Nang-a with interest.

“You said you were making a new sword, but I didn’t know that a magic sword would come out… .”

“Yeah, that was a happy mistake. But which class do you think you will be assigned to?”

Today is exactly one month since I entered the academy, and it is the day when all the exams are over and I am officially assigned to a class.

After hearing my question, Hori thought deeply, then opened her mouth.

“If you look at your grades so far, maybe it’s Class C or Class B, isn’t it? I’ve adjusted it around that… We’ll see what the outcome will be.”

“is it… .”

Hori knew how commoners should behave in the academy.

There are three types of humans in the Royal Academy.

The first is a human aiming for the top.

Students wishing to be promoted to higher-ranked classes are usually students from prestigious families.

Those who have received special training since childhood have high self-esteem and constantly compete for advancement.

Jessica, a young girl with bun hair, or the younger sister of the next swordsman, who is not sure yet, will be included here.

Second, those who want to socialize.

If they only mastered swordsmanship or magic at the level of education, most of them are low-ranking nobles, such as a Viscount, Baron, or Quasi-Baron.

Rather than entering the academy because I wanted to learn from them, I did not feel much interest in the promotion because I came to see the future and to socialize.

These were the low-ranking nobles who attended the salons hosted by Victor and Jessica.

The third is those who aim for the top outside of the academy.

These are commoners who come to the academy in search of their employers or sponsors.

Unlike nobles, who only pass through an application, they have passed the academy exam before entering, so their skills are at least Class B.

However, it was very rare for them to be promoted to Class B or higher.

Because the moment they are promoted to a higher tier class, they are in competition with their future employers.

No matter how talented a person is, it is very humiliating for a nobleman who has received a special education from his family since childhood to be defeated by a commoner.

It is unacceptable to lose to commoners, so they use all means to attack commoners who have invaded their territory.

Even if you manage to get over all of them somehow, it doesn’t end well anyway, as it’s going to be disgusting to future employers.

‘So the common people stayed in the chaotic class and waited patiently for the occasional competitions.’

In principle, though not so, the high-ranking aristocrats are implicitly forbidden to participate in the competition.

Since the purpose of the contest was to find and excavate the outstanding, not to discriminate against them, there were no high-ranking nobles who dared to participate in this contest.

“It will be difficult for the common people in many ways… .”

“It’s a bit like complaining, but… frankly a little bit If I had been an aristocrat, I would have been able to experiment more… .”

“… … More experiments?”

If this idiot had the power to mobilize many people… .

My hands trembled at the sight of hell that popped into my mind for a moment, and a chill came to my spine.

“Hori… . You are a person who should not have money and power.”

“What are you talking about! Even for the development of alchemy, a human like me must seize power!”

“Girl is sick enough… .”

[Woof woof!!]

Behold, even Nanga, who is a katana, is barking as if agreeing with that statement.

“… … What are you guys doing on the academy porch right now?”

“uh?”

This cute voice that suddenly rings in my ear, even though it’s only Lee Ju-man, I can’t forget this cute voice.

I hurriedly turned my head to see Jessica, with her hair in a bun a little longer than when I had met her two weeks ago, with her arms folded and looking at me with a dissatisfied expression.

“Jessica!!”

“It’s noisy, so shut your mouth. But the person over there… .”

Jessica pointed to Hori, who was about to walk away from me and widen the distance.

I grabbed Hori, who was about to run away, and pointed to Hori with a frightened expression.

“He is my friend. Come to think of it, did I tell you before that if you make friends, you will bully me? It’s okay to bully me!”

“Hey… !! Mr. Ian! What are you talking about?!”

“Hmm… .”

Jessica stared at Hori, who was still in tears as she was captured, and removed my hand from her shoulder and said.

“There is no way a man like you can have a friend. You must have had a lot of trouble with a strange man. Come on.”

“uh… . Ah yes! Then let’s go!”

Hori was bewildered by the unexpectedly friendly reaction, but hurriedly left the place.

Watching Hori rush to the central hall, I said with a bit of disappointment.

“Jessica! Why are you being so cold to me while treating Hori so warmly?!”

“Are you saying you don’t really know that?! Considering what you did to me, it’s strange that you didn’t break that head right now!”

“What did I do so wrong?! Even if I did, just forgive me coolly!!”

“profit… !!”

There is no need to provoke Jessica like this anymore, but somehow these words come out when I look at Jessica’s face.

Is it because of that chubby chest that looks like a punching bag?

Or is it because the bun’s head has a magical charm that makes people fight?

“Why do I keep saying things like this when I see Jessica? I don’t even know my heart!”

“That mouth is really… !! ha… But what is that suspicious potion in your hand?”

“yes? this?”

Exhaling a sigh, Jessica suddenly looked at the poison in my hand and looked suspiciously at her.

“I’m going to do something crazy this time… . Or is it? No matter how much you do, you can’t do anything strange in the dean’s presence.”

As someone who knows the contents of the original story, the infinite trust that was sent to this Marina felt only strange.

If I were to say the least, I could annihilate the students gathered in the main hall.

“It’s strange, I can’t do that.”

It’s not me who’s doing the weird thing today, it’s Peter. I may not have done it even though I have scratched my pride that much, but that was then.

“I’m not going to do anything weird, but maybe I’ll see something fun today.”

“… … I’m thinking of doing something else.”

“Well? If you’re really nervous, would you like to stop me here? Did you train hard for three weeks without me?”

In fact, the muscles attached to the body, as well as the speculation, were considerably increased than before, whether it was just playing for three weeks.

“… … .”

Jessica swallowed her saliva as if she was taking the meaningless words seriously, and slowly reached out with her bare hammer on her waist.

It was not as good as the hammer I broke last time, but it was a useful hammer.

For a moment, I thought about what kind of expression I would make if I broke that one, but I can’t do that before the entrance ceremony anyway.

“It’s a joke, so don’t be so serious! And Jessica is more like a young girl with a bun hair than making an impression, oh ho ho ho!! And it suits you better to laugh!”

“Ugh!!”

Leaving behind the angry Jessica, I headed towards the central hall as if running away.

Unlike the last time, the main hall was full of people compared to the entrance ceremony because there were sophomores and 3rd graders.

Before it got any more crowded here, I hurried into the hall and headed for the designated seat on the seat ticket I received.

And after a while… .

“Uh, uh… ?! Why, why is this happening only to me again!!!”

When a face appeared in front of me less than five minutes after we broke up, I said with a broad smile.

“Do you believe in Jessica’s fate?”
