My Villains Episode 609

71. swordsman teacher(12)

After joining hands with Princess Eadina, she helped me in many ways..

First of all, his disguised identity as swordsman Ludo became more secure, and he was able to access various high-level information, including the inner workings of the Dawn of the Council. I gained some connections, mainly among noble students, and my salary as a teacher increased significantly, which enriched my pockets..

I couldn't keep my mouth shut after receiving this kind of help, or rather, 'favor'..

Of course, he has been dragged around here and there, acting as a pet dog for display or as a human screen, but trying to just treat him like that is unfair to anyone..

There is no way the princess, who has lived as a super-gap since birth, would agree. It was obvious that all the benefits I had received up until now would be withdrawn, and that I would be kicked out of university as a result of a scandalous crime..

So the request she made to me was practically an order. There is no option to refuse in the first place..

……Actually, I had some expectations..

The hope was that if he won her favor, he might be able to reduce the price a little. Because of that, I flattered her and flattered her without it being obvious..

However, it seems that the princess has no intention of becoming a nobleman. In the end, I was in a position where I had to criticize..

Princess Eadina's orders were largely two-fold..

The request is to gather the opinions of the steering committee so that a proposal for a so-called 'large-scale field trip' involving students in the Greenskin punitive force can be submitted to the palace..

And if the plan actually goes ahead, they ask you to join the punitive force as an advisor..

In the latter case, there was nothing difficult at all. All you have to do is go hiking and look after the students..

It didn't seem like anyone was going to tackle me. I-that is to say, Ludo is a swordsman with a lot of practical experience, and even though he is a guest teacher, he is definitely in the military studies department. It wasn't an awkward picture following students on a 'field trip'..

Whether it's torture or something else, use a plausible strategy. The princess will take care of it, so I don't have to worry about it..

The problem was the steering committee.

The Steering Committee was a powerful group that could control the gigantic institution called the Royal University of Milan, and the only ones who could speak out or exercise voting rights there were five young children. Five steering committee members, including the chairman..

At first glance, it seemed like a purely idiotic system, but when I saw how it worked in reality, it made some sense..

All of the past chairmen of the steering committee were Jeore, and the other steering committee members were mostly relatives of the royal family or descendants of royal families. In short, it was the speaker of the royal palace. So, most of the kings have managed the university as they please through the little guys who sit on the steering committee..

In this case, it would seem to be much more efficient for the king to just appoint a retainer to serve as president of the university, but the problem was that the person who created the current system was the 'Singular King', the third king of Milanol..

There has never been a king who overturned the status of his immediate ancestors just to save himself a little inconvenience. I didn't feel the need to do that..

In those days, the situation became a little strange. As the current king, Zacharis, barely touched the Royal College, the steering committee was able to stop being a parrot..

The crown prince, the former chairman, or the princess, the current chairman, were able to wield power in their own way. At the same time, other steering committee members gradually gained power. The steering committee's decision method was basically unanimous..

When the king was interested in the Royal University and Crown Prince Adumir was the chairman of the steering committee, the steering committee members also kept quiet. But now everyone knows that Princess Eadina is the real power..

Of course, there would be no need to make an angle with the princess in normal business. However, if the agenda is far from normal work,?

If you are sure that it is the will of a princess, not a king or a crown prince, there is room for consideration..

Due to these circumstances, it is said that when Princess Eadina called a meeting as chairperson and brought up this agenda, the opinions of the steering committee members were divided in half..

Prince Aglas and Baton Ulshore naturally voted in favor..

Aglas has a gentle personality and is Eadina's younger half-brother, and Baton is a bastard who has to cling to the royal family at all costs to avoid losing the title to his uncle..

The ones who opposed were two guys with big heads that could go against the princess's wishes. The main characters were Count Orth, the ‘Young Fox’, and Viscount Arthur, the ‘Sword of the Blizzard’..

In other words, my main task was to persuade those two. So that the steering committee unanimously submits the agenda for field training..

Princess Eadina seemed to want me to run straight to Os and Arthur and persuade them, but I had no intention of doing things in such a hurry..

First, I looked back carefully at the princess's plan..

If the field trip was truly successful, the most important task would be to return all participating students safely..

Of course, worrying about the students' safety was for myself and Eadina..

What if someone dies on the field trip she pushed for? And if it's the son of a high-ranking nobleman?

It's just my imagination, but an angry Zacharis might imprison the daughter who had an accident in the palace or force her to marry off. Then, I would be in a situation where I had lost my trust, and in the worst case scenario, there was a possibility that I would be blamed for being a torture teacher..

So, even if the opponent was an orc or goblin, I couldn't take the foolish guys with me. It is absolutely crazy to major in alchemy or herbalism, and even among military science students, only those who are reasonably skilled and mentally sharp should be accepted..

In that case, it seemed completely unrealistic to drag away two hundred people. The limit would be around 100 to 150 people at most. There is a separate regular subjugation team anyway, so there is no need to worry about the number of pages being reduced..

All we need to do is fill in the fifteen magic students who will be in charge of support and firepower, and the rest will be filled with military science students who will act as combatants. As for supply, I think the regular punitive force will somehow solve it..

Then, they say we need to gather about 80 to 90 students to act as combatants.…….

I feel like I can have some influence here, so I'll start here..

Classes resumed on Monday..

On Mondays, only morning lectures were held, and the students who received the sign of the chicken were the subjects..

The so-called chicken class is the class with the lowest skills among the five classes taking my class, and except for five noble ladies, all of them were commoners..

Maybe that's why I was able to clearly establish my authority as a teacher in this class. He proved his skills right away, and it was a public fact that he was under the protection of Princess Eadina, so it was natural for him to find me difficult..

Thanks to that atmosphere, the lecture went smoothly. Even though we treated the soldiers like we did when training them in Icebovald, not a single one expressed any dissatisfaction..

Although it was a well-spoken lecture, it was actually a sweaty training session, so one or two noble ladies occasionally got angry. Of course, that's true. I was able to easily subdue him by placating him with kind words or having lunch with him after the lecture..

After hearing what Eadina said about this, I couldn't give her special treatment, but I had already become quite close to the girls there. It was manageable just by pretending to be interested during the lecture..

Meanwhile, the students' skills did not improve dramatically after only three weeks of classes. The 67 chicken class students were still at the level of skilled soldiers or non-commissioned officers..

Of course, this was due to physical strength and weapon handling skills, and there was no way he could actually function as a skilled sergeant on the battlefield. Age aside, most of them have never experienced real combat..

Of course, they were talented people who could serve as officers if they gained a little experience, but it was true that it was burdensome to drag them into the fight against greenskins right away. So, in this lecture, I emphasized focusing only on strengthening the basics and building physical strength..

“But Mr. Ludo. Did you hear about it??”

It was 'Anella', one of the five girls in the chicken class, who asked a question while taking a moment to catch her breath. Perhaps because she was the daughter of a Korean-American nobleman, she was a student without any particular affiliation..

“What are you talking about??”

“Greenskins of the Temel River. It is quite large, so the mounted patrol and the Game and Game Department are forming a punitive force, and there are rumors that students may be mobilized..”

Before I could respond to Anella’s words, the other girls who were fixing their sweaty hair responded in response..

“No way, why are you mobilizing students while leaving the army alone??”

“Well, I don't know either..”

“I heard that Her Majesty the Princess is meeting with hunting officers because of that incident..”

“really?”

It was a rumor that Princess Eadina spread through her subordinates. It was decided that generating interest among general students would be helpful in recruiting applicants..

I pretended to be pretentious and tilted my head..

“I'm sure they won't be forced to mobilize. Students are not serfs.”

“Well, you don't know that..”

Another young lady opened her mouth, acting smart..

“They might give swords to young nobles under the pretext of giving them practical combat experience. Your Majesty enjoys bending nobles to his authority..”

“Oh, Ehini.”

“You have to be careful what you say.”

Perhaps because 'Ehini' from the South's words were a bit rude, the other girls deliberately looked at me. I pretended not to know and shrugged my shoulders..

“I don't know much about kingdom politics, but I don't think things will work out that way. Forcing noble children into danger is foolish... … . If something like that were to happen to Ehini right now, would Baron Serfast stay silent??”

“Absolutely not. And rather than sending a letter to my father who is far away, I plan to run to Count Gedun right away..”

“You are wise. However, there is no need to worry as there is no way that the royal court could not have predicted such a reaction..”

Ehini seemed to agree with what I said, but Anella still looked worried..

“My father is so… … Because you are loyal. I think if the king's order is given, he will turn his back on me whether I live or die..”

“If that really happens, I will file a complaint with Her Majesty the Princess to stop it..”

“……Really?”

“Yes, really..”

Avoiding Anella's bright eyes, I deliberately raised my voice..

“Judging as a swordsmanship teacher, it is still far too early for Anella and the other students in this class to practice combat. Unless high-ranking people go crazy as a group, you won't be dragged into subjugating greenskins, so everyone, don't worry..”

Since I've said this, even if the field trip goes on, there won't be any idiots who will support it. If there's someone who can't tell whether it's poop or soybean paste... … I'll spar with you and crush your knees, whatever..

This is enough to crack down on our cute chicken class friends..

Now let's try to inspire the rest of the class..
