chapter 119
Bastia put her outstretched foot on the floor and turned it around as if stretching. It was a combination of feeling excited after a long time since I briefly played against Pilbo the other day. And he knew the reason for his excitement.
‘That parasitic brother wore his hair.’
It was a commonality between Pilbo and that parasitic brother.
It is said that he made his own preparations to destroy his own ‘weapon breaking’.
Of course, the methods are completely different.
If Pilbo dispersed the destructive power of weapon shattering by inventing his own sword method, that guy readily accepted the destructive power and then aimed for the psychological loophole.
By creating a mechanical sword on top of the wooden sword that was thought to have been broken.
Bastia looked at Sabaki’s tightly clasped hands.
The broken wooden sword Sabaki was holding.
The black sword rising above it was slowly fading away like an ember being extinguished.
He wasn’t even 20 years old yet. No matter how talented they are, how many people at that age can wield a mechanical sword? Bastia then fell into a flashback for a moment.
‘How was I when I was that age?’
Before the age of 20, it was time to live a gladiator life. Before being nicknamed the ‘Spring Gladiator’, he was a slave gladiator who challenged and was challenged with his spirit rather than experience. It took the slave gladiator five years to fight and win his freedom.
Although, the freedom he sought was not the freedom to be alone.
The woman who wanted to find freedom together died without waiting for that five years.
“Hey, aren’t you behind?”
“With what kind of kick… Blow me away from there… ”
“Fuck. Do I have to take classes from that teacher all year round?”
The children in the hallway whispered in silence. One freshman even carefully reached out and touched Sabaki. And that certain first year was a person even Bastia knew.
“hey. John. Are you friends with him?”
“I do not know. Why are you asking?”
“Hiding the hilt, did you make it popular?
John was also bewildered.
Although the focus was slightly different from that of Bastia.
Sabaki is not a character who is obsessed with winning, but a character who walks the right path with the sword. Bondi is not a person who fights with his head. In a state where exceptions to the scenario were taking place, the madness granted to Sabaki was driving him into a form he had not known.
“Well… All of this, what is the fuss about?”
The door to the room right next to the officer’s office opened. Evangeles walked out rubbing his sleepy eyes. Before John could answer anything, a louder thumping sound was heard right next to him.
“What’s the fuss?”
The door to the officer’s office opened and a woman walked out.
My name is Siha Atri.
The nickname spread here was Binggrae Twin Years.
“what. I told them to cut their hair and have them march through the compound… .”

Naturally, she first turned her eyes to Sabaki, who had collapsed by the door. Then she clicked her tongue.
“But why is he stuck here?”
She threw a questioning glance at the sophomore who was standing with a pair of scissors. And that second year nervously glanced in the direction of Bastia. So, her gaze returned to Bastia.
Shiha said, a little surprised.
“Bastia?”
“haha. article… good morning.”
“I am busy today.”
“I haven’t asked you out on a date yet.”
“Then why are you here?”
Bastia thought about why she had come. It was because Arien told her to go here. And before that, it was John who made Arien do that. As a preparation for problems that Sabaki might cause in [Second Year Discipline].
I didn’t even need a letter. Yohan was able to convey his words to Arien just by talking to himself in the dorm room.
Bastia looked at Siha and said.
“that… I mean. I just came for an inspection… That’s Arien, this time in the Mage’s Tower-“
“Is this your work?”
‘This’ Siha pointed out was a short man stretching out in the hallway with his head tossed. It can be said that I came here because of Arien, but I can’t say that even that ‘work’ was directed by Arien. She didn’t say, ‘Please kick the first year student who goes wild over there.’
Bastia said in a tone of embarrassment.
“Well. Officer. There is a background of birth in this work-”
“That’s Okay.”
A man who respects only women regardless of rank.
Siha didn’t even bother listening to Bastia’s excuses. She waved her hand to cut off Bastia and then spoke to the children lined up in the hallway.
“Sophomores?”
“yes!”
“yes!”
The sophomores standing here and there in the hallway answered with frozen voices. Then he said it with a smile.
“Put your head on.”
Then her words became waves and carried along the hallway.
“Pump the head!”
“Pump the head!”
Puck- Puck- Puck-
Breathless curse words came out of the mouths of the children who quickly hit their heads, which pleased Siha. she said with a laugh.
“again.”
When the children groaned and got up, Siha spoke lightly again.
“Fuck it again.”
“Pump the head!”
“Pump the head!”
The appearance of the sophomores with strong military discipline explains the grip that this officer has as an officer. Evangeles was horrified to see the sophomores getting dressed up in perfect order. It was because he remembered the eolchichi he received yesterday.
He sneaked up next to John and asked.
“What happened all of a sudden?”
John didn’t even need to explain. It was because Siha, an officer, spoke to the stretched out children.
“What should I do if I make such a fuss about shaving my freshman’s hair in less than half a year, even though I’m in first grade?”
“sorry!”
“sorry!”
“We tried to make each other look better while shaving our hair… Today’s haircut is canceled. You guys go head-to-head for about 30 minutes.”
“All right!”
“All right!”
“And, Mr. Bastia?”
The swordsmanship teacher nodded at the sound of his name being called and approached Siha. Siha spoke kindly to him.
“Your work will be cleaned by the teacher.”
“… yes.”
“Thank you.”
And Siha’s kind voice gave Bastia courage. Bastia spoke quickly before she went back into the ward’s office.
“Could it be Mr. Siha? Even for lunch this afternoon-”
“I’m sorry. I already ate.”
“yes? … It is morning now.”
My patience with this man has already been exhausted. Siha ended the conversation by closing the door to the officer’s office with a bang. Bastia licked her lips as she looked at the closed door of the officer’s office.
Then, a man wearing a noncommissioned officer’s armband walked out of the officer’s room where Siha entered.
“From now on, the first graders quickly change their clothes, wear raincoats, and come out to the grand parade! Sons from other dormitories are coming too! If we don’t get everyone together within 30 minutes, I’ll beat you in the head too.”
It was Hansu.
***
The line was quite long when all the first graders stood in one row at the Grand Parade. A private, counting the number of people, came and reported to the corporal at the front of the ranks.
“A total of 132 members and 11 exceptions. 121 first-year male students also gathered. 1 out of 10 are sick and 10 are administrative personnel.”
“That, yes. I get it.”
The person who received the report was Han Soo, who had previously commanded John’s squad. Fortunately, he was suddenly promoted, and he said with a little awkwardness about the position of being briefed by the private.
“power. start marching Start from the front row of gel.”
One by one, low complaints erupted among the children wearing raincoats and walking around in the rain.
“under… It really does.”
“Are you going to make me walk in this rain? Indigestible.”
Hansoo said while feeding the complaining students ‘bean’ honey chestnuts.
“mind. It’s raining, but there’s no war. Close Judy and walk away. It just runs out of power.”
“Corporal! Why do only boys walk?”
“I don’t think it would be unfair. My daughter will do it tomorrow.”
Chubb Chubbuck Chubbuck –
Hansoo used to move back and forth in the ranks, adjusting his walking speed.
“The floor is too muddy.”
“It’s too slippery as a human.”
Perhaps the children felt it too. The humanity of that man named Hansoo.
Hansoo said in a dull voice.
“Should I put silk on it because it’s raining? If you continue to grumble, let the military sing.”
Although he speaks crudely, Hansoo has a good personality that can be said to be rare in this academy. He doesn’t like to tease students for nothing.
“I don’t need everything! Gunbari walks well, and Daenggiya is popular. Go straight to the person in front of you without hitting it!”
He used to lift the fallen children up several times, and he insinuatedly walked by John’s side. He cleared his throat once and asked a small question.
“John.”
“yes.”
“Um, the love business is going well.”
John was a little taken aback. And Evangeles, who was walking side by side, thought Hansoo was talking about his younger brother. Evangeles said with a little playfulness.
“Hey, you John, you’re famous.”
“… .”
“but. The girl made a fuss in front of everyone… .”
Only John knew that the object of the ‘love business’ that Hansoo was talking about and the ‘girl’ that Evangeles was talking about were different people. While Yohan was nervous, Hansoo continued talking to Evangeles.
“… Are you a close friend?”
“yes. And he’s dating her because he’s my younger brother.”
“ji… really… ? he… no… Gyaga?”
Hansoo had overheard a conversation with Hamma the other day. And as I overheard the conversation, I found out that the ‘love object’ he was talking about was the princess who entered the academy while hiding her identity. And to be able to call her ‘younger sister’, she must be the prince of the empire.
‘that… then… Hey, what kind of genealogy should it be?’
According to Hamma, Yohan is also a man with Mulcan’s sword. Hansoo, who opened his mouth a little, developed his imagination about the identities of the three people.
It could have been a funny situation for a third person to see. It was a situation where Yohan, the person involved, couldn’t just laugh. Especially for Yohan, who has to follow all the love routes according to the advice of ‘Escomin’.
I hate to imagine a situation where Evangeles hears that he is dating Ida and at the same time trying to date Adrine. If the same fact happened to Adrine’s guardian knight, Hoan, he might try to kill himself for insulting the imperial family.
Worse, of course, is that fact reaching Sabaki’s ears. If he found out that I was after the woman that crazy guy was supposed to introduce him to, I might be torn to pieces.
“just now! Didn’t Corporal Hansoo tell you not to talk while walking? We walk quietly.”
But the sweaty conversation didn’t end there. Going one step further, the boy following Evangeles also joined the conversation.
“John, did you end up like that with him too…? .”
It was a jackal.
And Yohan felt chills at the word ‘do’ with him.
