The current chief executive officer, or president, of the Royal University of Milan is an elderly man named ‘Partus Breward’..
However, I heard that there are only a handful of cases where the grandmother is directly involved in university affairs. Traditionally, the position of president of the Royal College is an honorary position held concurrently by a priest who sits on the bishop's throne at Faralan Cathedral..
Of course, Partus was the second-highest priest in the entire El Ganor Church, so it was natural that he had enormous influence. However, because he is so busy acting as a bridge between the royal family and the church, he does not have enough physical time to exert his influence on the university..
Thanks to this, the person who actually served as president was the chairman of the steering committee, the representative of all students. This is Princess Eadina..
Moreover, she was the king's eldest daughter, so at least within the royal university, she was tantamount to a dictator with omnipotent power..
Recognizing this fact, Eadina's coming all the way here just to observe was a situation in which she must have been nervous as a guest teacher..
“I treat myself like I don't exist. Because I don’t want to burden Ludo..”
“……Ah, yes.”
Then why not come here in the first place?.
Regardless of what I was thinking, Princess Eadina's tone of voice had become so soft that the listener was shocked..
Even during the interview, they treated me harshly, as if I were a lowlife... … . Of course, he still treats me like a subordinate, but he has the minimum level of courtesy. In addition, it is natural in its own way to pretend to be intimate for no reason..
The reason for the change is obvious. I guess it's because of the skills I showed during the evaluation last week. It was natural that a man who was regarded as an insignificant foreign swordsman would be treated differently as he easily defeated students who were called geniuses of the time, one after another..
Still, it's surprising. Since I grew up as a member of the royal family, I thought that even if I didn't have cheesy things, it wouldn't be normal, but it seemed like I was able to distinguish between basic things..
I caught a glimpse of the princess on the podium and looked back at the students..
‘Fittingly with the name 'Duel Hall', the training hall looked like an ancient arena or trial hall scaled down to fit indoors..
A two-story raised platform surrounded the spacious oval-shaped training hall like a spectator stand. The floor of the gym was covered with high-quality maple wood, and the spring breeze and sunlight streamed in through the ceiling and open windows on two sides..
The students were scattered here and there in the flawless training center. The seven students who received each statue in the evaluation were looking at me with different expressions..
“This is ridiculous. Which teacher is the last to give a lecture? what case is this?”
“Oh my, I'm sorry. There was a small accident in front of me..”
When I spoke with a hearty smile, the large student who spoke in a booming voice looked as if he was steaming..
“Hey, how can I change that way of speaking??”
“Oh, you mean my way of speaking??”
“Yeah, I find it really annoying to be frivolous..”
I asked, scratching my chin..
“I thought it was a typical teacher's tone... … . Is it a little strange??”
“……Of course it's strange. Where is the teacher who behaves like a city administration bastard??”
His name was 'Girion', and he was a young man who was about half a span taller than me and had a much thicker body disguised as Ludo..
Girion had the impression of a typical northerner, with a large, muscular physique, a wide, square jaw, and thick eyelids. The tanned skin and the face full of small scars made it far from noble, but in fact, such a wild, bear-like appearance was suitable for a northern nobleman..
“It's not that I don't know your skills, but it's not easy to trust you. Even though I came here with great intentions, the feeling of wanting to be taught was gone.?”
I felt like I was going to burst out laughing at the sight of the young man with a grim face grumbling. To say it's cute would be a bit of an exaggeration, but I would say it's somewhat affectionate.?
Now that I think about it, it seems like there were quite a few soldiers in the assault battalion commanded by the dervish that felt similar to that one..
“It's sad that you're losing motivation, but what can you do? Even if I am a teacher, my status is very different, so I have to be polite..”
“Anyway, act confidently. As a teacher, you have to build up your reputation so that I, as a student, can survive as well..”
“Hmm.”
I pretended to worry and then shrugged my shoulders..
“In that case, if you treat me properly as a teacher, I will think about it..”
“……what?”
“Since a high-level student behaves like a master baron, the Hanmihan teacher should behave like a commoner. Isn't it??”
“under.”
Girion, who was standing holding a long wooden sword appropriate for his size, quietly shook his head..
“Anyway, it's strange. The tone is polite, but the content is English.…….”
“There's a lot of noise.”
It was Count Geudun from the south who interrupted Girion, the small lord of the north. He glanced at the princess sitting in the stands and spoke with a very dignified expression..
“There's no one idle here, so let's get on with the lecture, okay??”
“In a hurry again, our 'fainting' ball.”
Geudun's face cracked in an instant. His grim eyes flicked to the side..
“If you call me something like that one more time, I won't forgive you. Take note, Euphria..”
“Wow, be scared..”
However, contrary to what she said, the tall girl, Euphria, was looking straight at Geudun and smiling. Despite the plain white color on her pretty face, the smile that flashed her fangs looked fierce..
“But what happens if you don’t forgive??”
“……what?”
“I'm curious. Pounce like a hot southern guy, and that's it?”
Dressed stylishly in a dark gray doublet, cotton pants that fit her body perfectly, black gloves, and crocodile skin boots, she looked like a woman from a prestigious samurai family. Contrary to the saying.
“Hmm, but I'm not really looking forward to that. Is it because I heard something from Eric?.”
“This is so vulgar…….”
Euphria, who had been smiling brightly, widened her eyes at the sight of him biting his lip and trembling..
“Sir, you are vulgar.?”
“Your words, Euphria. A foolish thing that only lowly prostitutes would do-”
“What? It's not like I'm old, and it's not like I consider jujitsu to be an art for the common people.?”
“……Jujutsu?”
“Yes, Jujitsu. These days, it's essential to act like a proper knight on the battlefield. But I heard that our master neglects his jujitsu practice... … . What, what's wrong? Did you think of something else??”
“……Shit.”
When Gudun realized that he was being teased and kept his mouth shut with a red face, Euphria burst into laughter as if she was excited..
Based on her words and actions, it would not be strange to mistake her for a mercenary, but in reality, she was a noble person who had one of the only two margraves in the kingdom as her uncle. Margrave Prix, the owner of a huge fiefdom spanning the Past and Unfast regions, was her uncle..
Although I never met Margrave Prix in person, I had a connection of my own. He is a great lord who helped us by mobilizing the ‘Elmore River Fleet’ and thousands of troops during the Battle of Blades..
Of course, that didn't mean I felt like Margrave Prix was a comrade in arms or a comrade. Unlike Aryagan and Milgrester, who had contributed from the beginning of the war, the Drisir family entered the war only after the enemy's large army entered the territory. Moreover, after Prince Ulkar went missing, he became very attached to Zacharis, so I couldn't look at him kindly..
“What do you think, teacher??”
Euphria lost both her parents when she was young, and Margrave Prix, who had only a son, cherished his only niece as if she were his own daughter..
Thanks to this, she was able to blossom into her natural talent. By receiving the Drisir family's secret training method and unlimited support, he was able to acquire skills that were comparable to those of the knights who roamed the northern border even though he was only in his late teens..
“Last week, it seemed like a lot of effort was put into jujitsu and box fighting... … . Is it okay to look forward to it??”
“Yes, of course. But not today.”
“not today?”
“It's the first lecture, right? You should first set learning goals and explain future lesson plans. Have you heard anything from friends in other classes??”
While looking at the students while asking that question, I happened to make eye contact with a young man..
He was Gawin, the young master of the Western Highlands and the only margrave in the kingdom, along with the uncle of Euphria next to him..
Among the noble students, he was the only one whose upright posture and unsuitable sullen expression were the same as before, with neat-looking eyes and a neatly shaven beard, and over the years, his face had become exactly like the Margrave of Landry..
I suppressed the joy that threatened to burst out unconsciously and asked him again..
“How are you, Your Excellency ‘Hwangyabaek’??”
“……I had to listen.”
Garwin continued with an expressionless face..
“I heard that those who received the sign of the chicken only learned a few simple tricks in addition to basic training... … . I don't think they'll give us that lecture either..”
“Yes, that's right. Of course it is..”
I nodded calmly..
“Although skills are different, learning cannot be the same. First, let’s start by setting learning goals for each class gathered here. Because that's the most important thing.”
In response to the students' curious gaze, I spoke clearly:.
“Kill the Sword Master. That's your learning goal.”
After a moment of silence, I couldn't help but burst out laughing at the various reactions the students showed..
