Chapter 9: 9

“So why did you enroll in the academy?”

 

During the two-day journey to the academy together, we talked a lot. We talked about our hometown, motives for applying to the academy, and trivial chatter, and that was enough to satisfy the boredom along the way.

 

“Yes, it's because good grades at the academy will get me backers.”

 

The fastest way for commoners to succeed in this world was to become special students and enter the academy and get excellent grades.

 

But the majority of the students who entered the academy, with the exception of a few commoners, are all nobles, so for commoners, it was a great place for them to build friendships with some nobles by proving their abilities to them, and receiving their support.

 

And that was the reason why Hori enrolled in the academy.

 

'It's possible that we will meet in the academy too since she is a student too, and she seems to be an excellent alchemist.’

 

Although I have no intention of relying on any drugs, but there will be nothing wrong with being friends with Hori.

 

Thinking I was lucky to meet them, I spurred Silence further.

 

“I can it...”

 

In the distance, at the edge of the horizon, a huge fortress wall incomparable to the one I had seen two days ago was seen, the walls of the Academy were splendid and magnificent as if trying to show the dignity of the royal family.

 

A flag with the royal seal fluttered over the white wall even giving people a reverent heart, and below, elite soldiers were guarding the wall armed with the latest magic weapons.

 

In this world, except for the walls of the islands and the royal capital, it was said to be the strongest wall, but frankly, it wasn’t strong at all.

 

‘In the novel, there everyone always breaks in.’

 

From assassins to divil worshipers to witches and demons, this wall, which was looser than the hole of a prostitute, could not stop anyone from breaking in.

 

Those who can penetrate the castle wall from the front come in, and those who cannot penetrate the wall come in proudly from the front too, by hiding their power and disguised as a merchant.

 

It was not unreasonable to wonder if there was any real meaning to the existence of that wall.

 

After a while, when I got to the immediate vicinity of that wall, I said to Hori, who was riding behind me.

 

“We will arrive soon.”

 

“Is that so? Baron Jun, I can't thank you enough for the last two days.”

 

“You still use honorifics. You can just talk informally with me or use my name too..”

 

“...Since I am a commoner, I can’t do that.”

 

“Are you doing this because of my title? I'm thinking of just talking flatly to the prince..”

 

Hori heard that and stuttered as if she had heard something wrong.

 

“Yes, yes? Are you really going to do that?”

 

“What do you think, what's going to happen, Do you think he is going to tell his father that I used rude language?”

 

In fact, if you look at the prince’s personality, he was not the kind of person who remembered that I used a short word.

 

On top of that, in the first place, I plan to defeat the prince and the escort knights, as well as the sword castle.

 

“Huh… Baron Jun is a really weird guy.”

 

“Wonderful….Shall we be like an alchemist who beats a robber's head with a stone?”

 

“That thing… Forget it now… .”

 

“Then in return, you forget that I am a baron, It's not like I'm the only baron in the world.”

 

“…Yes.”

 

When we arrived right near the wall, we saw a procession of wagons and crowds entering the gate, so we went to the very end and entered the procession.

 

After waiting for a while, it was our turn and we showed our certificate to the guards, and with a brief question at the checkpoint, we finally entered the academy site.

 

‘That’s great.’

 

I had seen it several times in the description of the novel, but when I saw it with my own eyes, it was truly amazing.

 

Compared to the modern day where I lived, it was a little lacking, but the sights of large buildings stretching out into the forest.

 

There is a saying in the novel that there is nothing that the academy doesn’t have, and as they say, from general stores that handle miscellaneous daily necessities to ingredients for the alchemy that require specialized knowledge.

 

In addition, although it was not directly described in the novel, there was everything from a window shop, a bar, and a bakery where first-class artisans worked.

 

looked around the building sideways and headed to the academy, to get a dormitory to unpack first.

 

We went into the main building and wandered for a while, but after a while, we arrived at the reception desk without any problems.

 

After showing the admission certificate at the reception desk, I was assigned to the Knights Department and the Hori Alchemy Department.

 

“My… No, Mr. Ian is from the Knights Department.”

“Yeah, right…”

 

Hearing the word chivalry comes out of Hori’s mouth, I once again remembered the purpose of my coming here.

 

The purpose of my admission to the academy is none other than to defeat the strong men of the future, who is here and prove that I am the strongest in swordsmanship!

 

For that, I had to think about how to minimize the damage to the family and whether the royal family or the duke would wage a fight on their children.

 

“Then Hori… I’ll go now, See you later at the entrance ceremony.”

 

“Yes. Then I too...”

 

To calmly think about it, I first broke up with Hori and headed to the dormitory I was assigned to.

 

Naturally, there were men and women, as well as nobles and commoners, so the dormitory we were assigned to was the opposite.

 

As I entered the dormitory, I was surprised to find that it was better than my room at the house, and I unpacked my things slowly. And when I unpack all my stuff and sit down at my desk to think.

 

-nock! nock!

 

I couldn't even grasp the atmosphere and someone knocked on the door, so I got up again.

“Who is it?”

 

When I went out in front of the door, there was a blonde man in a neat uniform, even though he hadn’t even had the entrance ceremony yet.

“Are you Baron Ian Bartow?”

 

“But you?”

 

“It's the first time I'm meeting you. I’m Victor de Bauu, and I’m here at a request from your mother.”

 

“Victor?”

 

When I heard the name, I immediately remembered what my mother had said before leaving.

 

Apparently, my mother was with Victor's family… Say hello to my young-ae.

 

“Oh, I heard about it from mother. is it about, saying hello to my young-ae, right?”

 

“What are you talking about? Are you talking about Jessica Young-ae?”

 

“Oh, yes, that Jessica. Say hello to Jessica Young-ae.”

 

But what kind of noble girl’s name is not Eliza, but Jessica?

 

As I was laughing at the author's pathetic naming sense, Victor, who was in front of him, laughed along with him.

 

“Whoops...! To call the Countess's name like that? You are the only baron like that, hahaha.”

 

“Well… Behind the scenes, there are people who call names worse than this.”

 

There must be at least one person besides me who feels good about saying hello to Countess, who can’t even use Baldo.

 

“Maybe, but you should refrain from saying such things in front of her. It’s something that might have an impact on your family.”

 

There were no rumors that Jessica had a particularly bad personality, but it wasn’t the other way around, so he said to me to be careful.

 

“So what… So, did you come here to say hello?”

 

“No, I heard the sound of unpacking from the next room, so I went out and looked at the nameplate, and there was your name.”

 

Victor’s room seems to be the one next to mine.

 

“Well… I’m sorry if it was noisy, but I think your hands are tumbling a little. Are you worrying about something?.”

 

“Worry? oh, that's because of a present for Miss Jessica?”

 

“A present for her, by the way, where did you buy it?”

 

“It’s a shop with a patissier she likes. If it’s okay with you, while I’m buying mine, I’ll buy yours too.”

 

“Then thank you, then here is the money… .”

 

I pulled out about 30 gold coins from my bag, put them into a pocket, and handed them to Victor.

 

Viktor looked into the pocket and said to me, startled.

 

“No! That's too much…!”

 

“What was your original budget?”

 

“I was thinking about three gold coins, but...”

 

Well... Dessert worth a katana was worthy of being the count's daughter.

“Then, since you are worrying so much, do what's good and use the money for your present too.”

 

“Then thank you, but… Are you really okay with that?”

 

To be honest, I don’t want to look good to her, and I don’t care about what my mother told me to do. But on the contrary, I feel sorry for Victor for making such an errand.

 

“It’s really good. Think of it as the price for giving you such an errand.”

 

“Thank you… You are really kind. But what are you thinking about?”

 

“Oh, you mean that? It’s not a big deal. Do you know how to pick a fight with the prince or a duke without harming the family?”

 

“What? What joke!”

 

“...”

"Are you serious?"

 

Perhaps he thought there was something else in my words, Victor closed his eyes and pondered before opening his mouth.

 

“I don’t think there is such a way… ”

 

“Is that so, then…”

 

Do I have to bear the damage?

 

*****

 

Having resolved the dessert to be dedicated to Young-ae, I went out with gold coins with a light heart.

 

The purpose, of course, is to obtain a new katana for use in the academy.

 

There is no problem in using it now, but in order to prevent a disaster caused by incorrect power control, I had to obtain a new safe sword.

 

‘There may be some prepared by the academy…’

 

I wanted a dedicated one so that it can be used outside the academy.

 

‘I’m sorry, but it seems impossible for our shop...’

 

‘You should look for other stores...’

 

‘How about this one?’

 

I couldn’t find the katana I wanted, no matter where I went, No weapon shop or blacksmith was able to fulfill my requirements.

 

Why?, Is there even a katana hatred circulating in the academy?

 

After going through many blacksmiths and weapon shops like a civil servant, the last place I arrived at was a shabby blacksmith.

 

‘I’m here now!’

 

I opened the blacksmith’s door, wishing that the last one would win.
