124. Encounters (2)

At Serena’s words, Iriel tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

“Swordsmanship talent? Umm… … . you lost.”

“… … Ugh.”

“It’s not just a loss either. Didn’t you scramble and scream and not be able to hit a single one?”

“no! I didn’t squeeze it out!”

Serena cried with a teary face.

Whether that’s the case or not, Iriel didn’t care and continued.

“Yes, yes. But what swordsmanship? I know he got a little stronger the last time I saw him, but maybe that won’t work for him?”

Iriel has the intuition to distinguish between weeds and weeds.

She was now able to roughly estimate the state of her opponent, even if not accurately.

Now, if he fights Serena, he will probably win a similar match or lose with a slight difference.

The flower field head’s swordsmanship and quickness itself weren’t that difficult to deal with, so there was a good chance of winning if you planned your strategy well.

However, Yuri Gilbert.

When I saw the movement of that dark hair, the first thing I felt was the absurdity.

Even if he was one step ahead of the sword, it was clear that Yuri would insert the sword with a face that he did not know what he was doing.

Even though he hadn’t faced him directly, Iriel was confident that he would fight Yuri a hundred times and lose all of them.

That’s why Iriel didn’t really want to fight Yuri Gilbert with a sword.

“I know… … . The fact that I can’t be with her yet… … .”

“I should say, not yet, but for the rest of my life. Well, anyway, so what are you going to do?”

“You have to tell the instructor! The weapons Yuri is using now are sympathy and pity. But is it really like that?”

Serena said with a serious face.

“So I will apply for sparring and lose again. Of course, I will work hard.”

“… … aha.”

Iriel realized Serena’s intentions.

Currently, Yuri Gilbert uses pity as a weapon to approach Zeke and occupy his position metallurgically.

Of course, you may have had a really hard time in the past.

However, looking at Yuri objectively, the current situation is not so unfortunate.

In the end, all the people who bullied her disappeared by Zeke

Behind Yuri, he even had a reliable back-up named the Duke of Joheiden.

In addition, he has excellent swordsmanship talent, so only a bright future will remain on the road ahead.

Yes, I can understand Serena’s purpose of reawakening Yuri’s swordsmanship talent through sparring. Got it.

‘however… … . The plan is so clumsy… … ?’

Iriel had once heard Serena’s plans for the Justia banquet and burned with jealousy.

Compared to that time, it was a sloppy strategy with holes in it.

‘Uhm, aside from whether he’ll be willing to go through with that… … . Don’t you think that Zeke might like it more if you show your swordsmanship talent?’

Serena’s head spins fast in urgent situations, but when it comes to love, it seems like it’s just a field of flowers.

Iriel was deep in thought.

Is there any way to supplement or modify Serena’s plan a little more?

Continuing her thoughts, she suddenly realized that there was no need to go out on her own here.

‘Oh, is that so? If Yuri Gilbert wins, it’s good to see the field of flowers rolling on the ground again, and if the field of flowers wins, the two of them will have a war of nerves, saying that due to his personality, he should do it properly, right? In the meantime, I’m going to stick right next to Zeke and get ahead.’

hehehe, Iriel nodded as he imagined that future.

Serena and Yuri put the two in a fight, and he spends leisurely time with Zeke as a snack for them.

It’s been a while since I did one good thing in my head.

Having concluded, Iriel hardened his expression and spoke to Serena in a serious voice.

“Flower garden, work hard. I will cheer for you this time as well.”

* * *

‘It’s soon.’

Zeke burned the letter secretly delivered by the head of the Adventurer’s Guild with mana.

The contents of the letter, namely, that the pressure from the Lost Hope side to prepare the sacrifice is getting worse these days.

However, he is afraid of Zeke, so he cannot prepare the sacrifice, and he is in a dilemma where he cannot stay still.

I could clearly feel how anxious he was in his trembling handwriting.

In fact, it was good that I didn’t have to worry so much about this.

Anyway, as soon as the Lost Hope guys arrive in the mountains,

Since I will come first and start a fight with Justia, who has been waiting for me, I won’t have time to pay attention to the offerings that the head of the Adventurer’s Guild has gathered.

However, since it was so out of sight, I found a way to use it effectively.

Zeke picked up a quill and began writing down a reply.

[Don’t worry, I’ll prepare the sacrifice on my side. ]

The sacrifice Zeke was talking about was none other than the Knights of Joheiden.

‘At the height of the battle, disguising Joheiden’s troops as sacrifices and bringing the adventurer’s guild leader ahead of them, I’ll be able to strike the back of those who are not paying attention.’

I ended up talking to the Duke of Joheiden just like that, but

Still, Zeke couldn’t completely relax.

‘As expected, I should go too.’

Lost Hope and the Justia family.

Both of them are a group that smells disgusting, so even if they fight, they notice similarities in the middle

There was a good chance that misunderstandings would be resolved through a few words of conversation, and a picture of a handshake would come out.

The success of LeeJi(以夷制夷) comes from the details.

‘Since the midterm evaluation is over, I’ll have to ask the principal for some vacation.’

* * *

“I can’t.”

The principal shook his head, buried in a pile of paperwork, with dark circles on his face.

“Can’t you?”

“Didn’t you say no?”

“It’s a problem that can be solved with a slight change in schedule.”

“No. don’t change I have no intention of changing it. come back quickly.”

The headmaster shook his head with a firm face, saying that no matter what happened, he would not allow the leave.

Zeke wondered why he was refusing to do so.

“Why are you saying no? Obviously, the instructors at the academy know that they can request up to 21 days off per year, if necessary.”

“… … Are you asking because you don’t know that?”

The principal glared at Zeke with fierce eyes.

Then he let out a deep sigh.

“Do you see what this is?”

The headmaster held a piece of white paper between his fingers and waved it around.

“What is it? that.”

“It’s a resignation letter.”

“Resignation… … ?”

“yes! A letter of resignation from Instructor Dios Redwood!”

“Ah, he ended up quitting the academy.”

Zeke nodded, saying he deserved it.

However, the headmaster opened his mouth as if he was not praying.

“Hey, do you know how vacation requests are made?”

“Wouldn’t it be fine to write down the reason on the leave application and submit it, and receive payment from the principal?”

“No.”

“?”

“You have to write a leave application, and then ask another instructor in the same grade to teach you during the vacation period. And then it’s payment. By the way, Dios Redwood has already left the academy! That means there is no other instructor to take over your class! No candidates have been decided yet! But what!?”

The principal gets angry at the thought that all of this is because of this guy right in front of him.

He sighed and snorted, his face full of resentment.

“This is all your fault!”

“Um… … . It must be because I taught Serena well.”

Zeke Kleiman speaks naturally.

‘If you can’t even talk!’

I’ve been looking for zig

Anyway, this guy doesn’t care.

The headmaster banged his head on the desk with a tired face.

“really… … . please… … . This is the request of my life… … . Make me feel better… … . No, I’d rather just kill him… … .”

The headmaster begged in a painful voice.

“Oh, then since Instructor Dios isn’t here, am I supposed to be in charge of the swordsmanship class until a new instructor is assigned?”

“Yes, yes… … .”

After thinking about it for a bit, Zeke’s eyes lit up as if he had a good idea.

“Hmm… … . So how about doing this? Hiring my students as temporary instructors while I am on vacation.”

“… … Are you insane?”

At the absurd words of Zeke, the principal raised his head and asked again.

“I am sane enough. Serena beat Dios Redwood anyway, so isn’t it enough? And my students have received real-time compression training from me, so you don’t have to worry about the teaching method.”

“No, but where is such an irresponsible class that uses students as instructors! Even a first-year student!”

He gave a tantrum, but Zeke raised his mouth and smiled ominously.

“Hmm… … . principal.”

“What, what! What!!!!”

“Last time, Ilios… … . At that time, I must have accepted a debt… … . Haven’t you ever said that?”

The principal’s eyes widened.

“No, I’m not threatening the principal of Ramieli Academy from the point of view of a single instructor. It seems that His Excellency, the Duke of Joheiden, is quite angry about the Ilios case this time. So I asked how it happened… … . First of all, I am being careful not to spread information as much as possible… … . Hmm. If I can’t go on vacation, maybe my mouth will be a little lighter… … .”

‘It’s a threat, you bastard…’

If this is not a threat, what the hell is a threat?

The principal wanted to cry.

“Ah, okay! yes ! Do as you please!!!!! Hurry up and go on vacation! No, go away!!!!!!”

In the end, he had no choice but to bite his lips and raise the white flag in front of Zeke’s threat with Yoheiden at the fore.

Really, tears covered my eyes.
