23 – The free minutes are over. This is the main story from now on

“… ?”

Tisha, who was drinking her coffee and talking about her, sensed her strange energy.

She nodded her head just a moment ago, and Kyle, who sometimes agreed with her, showed her dazed expression.

“Kyle?”

“….”

“Kyle.”

“Ah, ah. I’m sorry, Tisha. I was thinking about something else for a while….”

This is Kyle, who always listened to Tisha’s story. Tisha knows that part well.

She came to the academy from the moment we first met, and even after that until time passed.

Kyle always seemed to listen to what she had to say.

So it was inevitable that her current appearance would be reflected even more strangely.

“Is something wrong? Is it because of the duel that took place a few days ago?”

A voice full of worry.

At Tisha’s question, Kyle waved her hands.

“No. No. Nothing really happened.”

No lie, nothing really happened.

So she was an even more confused Kyle. This is an unexpected situation.

‘On the day of the duel. If not, I knew the minister would call me the very next day. By the way….’

I wasn’t called to the dean’s office, let alone called the minister.

The black men who approached silently like some kind of agent didn’t come.

We had a duel at the freshman welcome party, no other time.

Even in that duel, she broke the flying sword with her bare fists.

Ah, for reference, I only broke the sword. She didn’t even break people.

If you really do that, you’re going back to health hell right away.

‘I’m anxious, I’m anxious….’

Even though I felt fortunate, in a corner, anxiety was sprouting.

Isn’t it because we’re talking about something huge, so we’re wasting our time?

I’d rather call and warn you, I think this anxiety will go away.

It was not for nothing that the saying that it is better to sell first is better.

“Hick.”

Just at that moment, I hear someone gasp behind me.

When she turned her head slightly, her eyes met the girl who had just brought her coffee.

“Hey!”

Clanging!-

A female student loses the coffee cup she was holding in her hand.

Then the male student following her said, ‘What is it? What’s wrong?!’ She hurriedly approached me.

“Ouch.”

I took a deep breath and hurriedly turned around and ran away.

Even though the girl who dropped her cup shouted ‘Go, go together!’

Hey? No matter what, you should take care of your girlfriend, what if you stand out alone?

I don’t think you’ll be able to have a long relationship. I’ll probably stick around for a while because of this.

“Ha ha.”

Honestly, I feel a little unfair. No, it’s really very unfortunate.

Who did what? When people see it, they’ll think it’s a monster that eats people.

I didn’t argue first, and I didn’t talk about the duel first.

All I did was go to a duel instead of hearing insulting remarks.

I even broke the sword and didn’t even touch the body of the person concerned.

Nevertheless, the current situation could be summarized as ‘a monstrous freshman who first quarreled with a commoner and asked for a duel, and then shattered the noble to pieces with overwhelming force’.

“It has been like this for several days.”

Tisha, who was examining the situation, cautiously opened her mouth.

In this situation, she was the only one standing by Kyle’s side.

If I had to argue, there was Ian, but when Kyle said that that person was an envoy from his side, he was eliminated.

“I can’t help it. She fought a duel at the freshman welcome party, where she smashed the sword with her fist. Even if you are like me, you will instinctively avoid it.”

Kyle thought that her current silence was rather fortunate.

It is the most fearful thing to be called by the minister or dean, but there are also parts that are just as worrisome.

It was none other than the skilled swordsmen at the academy challenging them.

At that time, duels were not won by competing with swordsmanship.

Indeed, he threw his sword and broke it with one fist.

In this situation, there is no problem even if someone steps forward to protect the pride of the prosecutor.

If that’s really the case, things just get bigger and bigger.

Continuing duel, the academy’s talented people finally step out.

In that case, the minister or dean, who is now silent, might call out.

It’s possible to notify them on the spot, saying, ‘You’re about to be released from the academy!’

‘I’m crazy. Really, why did he do that?’

I had to put up with it. I had to grit and endure it.

When I heard that she was weak, I had to bite her tongue to come to my senses.

When he heard that they were playing with each other, he took a deep breath and held it in….

‘Fuck. Still, saying Ian and Ian are on the same level really crossed the line.’

Anyway, it’s too late to regret it now.

It has already happened, the duel has ended, and several days have passed since then.

In the meantime, several rumors have spread, but one thing is certain.

For most of the academy students, Kyle has become an existence that should not be touched.

He was accepted as someone who was afraid to talk or even make eye contact.

“Well, by the way. Kyle. Are your hands okay?”

“A hand?”

“Don’t you know how surprised I was then? She stretched out her bare hand to the opponent who charged with a sword. At that moment, I close my eyes tightly and say no! I even screamed.”

After Tisha said that, she carefully grabbed Kyle’s wrist.

Then I lead Kyle’s hand in front of my eyes and examine it carefully.

“Um….”

It’s not just a quick glance. I look at it with a very careful, worried look.

She clearly showed signs of checking to see if she was hurt again elsewhere.

“… Luckily it looks fine. There are no traces of cuts.”

“I told you. They go through a lot of training at Baron John Nassen.”

“I had to talk. However, I have never heard or reported that the human body is not able to stick to a blade just because it trains. Even if that happens, you’re bound to cringe in front of the original blade.”

“I see… I do.”

From Kyle’s point of view, it was actually a very ambiguous situation to explain.

He’s himself. He just swings his fist as instinct leads him.

In the meantime, she didn’t even worry about ‘will my hands be okay?’.

Too naturally, so familiarly, I arranged everything in one outstretched step.

‘It’s not some kind of One-Punch Man.’

Of course, One Punch Man is not. He can’t lose his hair at the cost of strength.

It is said that a person with no shortcoming is good, but that does not mean that there is no lack of ‘mo’.

“It seems that the story was true.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I heard it when I was at Marquess. Kyle, you said you dealt with the ogre that was targeting the Marquis with your bare hands. At first, I thought it was nonsense. How a man bares a monster. Can you do that against an ogre who is said to have tremendous power?”

“… You dealt with an ogre with your bare hands?”

Another voice came suddenly. Thanks to that, both Kyle and Tisha were surprised.

Standing there was none other than Grand Princess Littorio, Elgar.

Sabak, Sabak-.

Elgar took a step in an elegant manner and sat between Kyle and Tisha.

The action was so natural that no one could stop it.

“This is an interesting story. Go on.”

“Princess Elgar?”

“She will always use that title as princess. Even though it’s difficult to call her by name, she wants you to stop using that title. Are you asking a difficult favor? Is this the academy?”

Coming to think of it, even Leto just calls him ‘Elga-sama’ now.

One of the things that should be avoided is to emphasize one’s status at the academy.

For that reason, there is a trend that people don’t call names that seem irrelevant.

“….”

“….”

Kyle and Tisha looked at each other for a while and nodded.

Let’s do what Elgar wants. So let’s send this burdensome woman away. Meaning that.

“So, what is it about? I want to know too, can you tell me? Kyle?”

“Nothing special. It was just that the Marquis was attacked by an ogre, and I saved him in the process.”

“It’s said that there is nothing special about it, right? Marquis, ogre, saved. Everything.”

“I just got lucky.”

“If you were lucky enough to fight an ogre with your bare hands, would you say everyone in the world is unlucky?”

If you don’t tell me the story properly, I’ll hold on to the pod until the end!

It is very clearly felt that he makes an unspoken and cute threat.

In the end, raising both hands and a white flag, Kyle briefly explained the day’s events.

“… So, you dealt with the ogre aiming for the Marquess with your bare hands and even subdued it?”

“As I said, I only stopped once. Ian did the rest.”

“What about Ian?”

“This is a male student who received a letter of recommendation from the Marquis just like me, who should have fought a duel a few days ago.”

“… Ah. Got it. A man with a bad mouth without even thinking about rumors.”

At Elgar’s words, Kyle almost burst into laughter without realizing it.

There’s nothing wrong with that. It scratches the itchy area from the inside out.

“But it is more interesting that I killed an ogre with my bare hands than killing it with my sword.”

“Thanks to that, I suffered a lot for a few days.”

It’s a lie. I just ate well, slept well, and had a good time.

On the contrary, it felt like I had exercised as a bonus, so I only felt very good.

“….”

Meanwhile, Elgar turned her head to see Tisha across from Kyle.

‘This woman, yes. She said she was interested in witchcraft.’

The continent is already gripped by magic.

Anything other than magic cannot escape the sound of witchcraft.

In such a situation, to come to the academy and do magic, not anywhere else.

Not even an aristocrat with a back stomach, but a commoner.

I wonder why I chose this difficult path, but I don’t ask.

No matter how you turn it around, it won’t sound nice.

It is unwise to set up a confrontational angle like that for nothing.

‘Friend. First of all, we’re friends….’

Elgar pondered over Kyle’s answer.

What the hell does that mean?

I want to be more than a friend, but Tisha refuses.

Or, on the other hand, is Tisha wanting more than her friend, but Kyle is blocking it.

‘I wish it was the latter… no no. What is he saying now.’

Dori Dori!-

Elgar suddenly shook her head.

Thanks to that, Kyle and Tisha had to blink their eyes, saying ‘Huh?’
