I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

90 – Champion Declaration Ceremony

Ten of the Knights of the Kingdom strode down the academy dormitory hallway.

For summer vacation, most of the cadets returned to their hometowns, and there were only a few left in the dorms.

However, the few cadets widened their eyes when they saw the sudden arrival of the knights.

The knights in the vanguard stopped in front of one door and murmured.

“Looks like this.”

“Are you really a warrior….”

“Be careful with your words. If it’s not anyone else, but Her Highness Arianna, it’s like that.”

“Yes.”

The knight grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.

“Eh, hero… ♡”

“We’ll make you feel better, Lando… ♡”

… Two women and a man were half-naked making love.

The three people who noticed the knights hurriedly covered themselves with blankets.

Hmm, one of the knights cleared his throat and said.

“Is this Sir Landau?”

“Yes. What are you doing… ?”

A simple-looking young man who looks somewhat rustic.

But seeing that he tried to have a relationship with such beauties from the morning, it seemed like he was a hero in a different sense.

“Her Highness Princess Arianna wants to serve Sir Landau in the palace as a warrior.”

“As a warrior….”

Lando was still in a complicated state of mind.

He had a hard time accepting that he was a warrior.

Can you call yourself a warrior simply because you are descended from a warrior?

I was even more hesitant because I knew the meaning of the name “Hero” In this world.

I understood with my head.

Now that he can explain why he suddenly came to the academy and why a high-ranking aristocrat like Joel cared about him so much.

A few days ago he remembered a conversation he had with Joel.

-Rando, the time to stand on the test as a hero will come soon.

-Yes….

-I know it’s hard. I want you to remember one thing though. You don’t fit into the frame of being a warrior. You’re making the frame for yourself as a hero.

– Frame… ?

-It means don’t force yourself to be like a warrior. Are you a warrior Your actions and thoughts are the actions and thoughts of a warrior.

It means that you should think about how you should act instead of conforming to how your ancestors would have behaved.

He added that the title of warrior is just a title given by others after all.

They said that since they are not the same person, they are bound to be different.

On the

Side, Kiara gave Lando a small kiss on the cheek, lost in thought.

“Do whatever the hero wants. I, no, we will follow on our own.”

Amanda couldn’t beat her, so she pressed her lips to the other cheek and shouted.

“Right! If the hero is worried, we will be worried too!”

Lando smiled and patted the two of them on the head.

Has anything strange happened following Joel’s words so far?

No, not even once.

Because I followed his words, I was able to receive love from Kiara and Amanda.

Even if you approached because you needed strength as a hero, grace is grace.

I didn’t even consider it just a weapon.

The chance for people to become close is originally a trivial law.

Said Lando, looking at the article.

“I’ll prepare and leave.”

***

“Your Highness, the hero has arrived.”

The handmaid reported to Arianna.

Arianna shook her head.

“You’re not the hero, you’re the hero, right?”

“I’m sorry. The hero has arrived.”

“Yes.”

Benedetta is currently living in Joel’s villa in Lauris.

Basically, if you send troops to Lauris, which is close to neutral territory between the three countries, and bring Benedetta by force, there is a possibility of a diplomatic dispute.

Anyway, Joel is the eldest son of the Marquis of Jahe and the person whom the Duke of Chablis has pointed out as his successor.

We were discussing internally whether we should just forfeit the princess title for Benedetta.

In fact, he left the palace because he wanted to.

Give the king a rare type of taffy called Balbino.

‘Abama was also happy, hero.’

A card that can overturn international public opinion at once.

That was the announcement of the warrior.

No matter how immoral the kingdom is, as long as it has warriors, it will not be easy to criticize it.

For this day, we have invited all the distinguished guests from each country, including the empire and the republic.

Of course, the king will attend today.

I had no doubt that the whole world would pay attention to the hero, and the more so, the king would highly value him for bringing the hero.

“Prepare the dress.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Ah, I have to look good to the hero, so I choose one that shows my body well.”

“Yes.”

A life that was always compared to Benedetta’s.

Still, he was evaluated as being equal to his looks.

At the chest, it was a bit taller than Benedetta’s.

From the report, he already had two women.

He’s a warrior, but it’s only natural that women cling to him.

In a polygamous kingdom anyway, it doesn’t matter whether there are other women or not.

The important thing is to be superior to those two women.

‘Common girls anyway.’

You just need to make it possible for you to live well without lacking.

Just make a grand wedding ceremony with yourself.

The rest of the girls will not be dissatisfied if the church orders them properly.

With the help of the maids and maids, she put on a dress with a slight cleavage in her chest.

I was satisfied with myself when I looked in the mirror.

I am giving you the opportunity to touch this chest that a commoner man would never have touched, not a hero, so Lando will surely be delighted.

Ariana grinned.

“I will guide you to where the hero is.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The lady-in-waiting led her to her drawing room.

A poorly decorated, really rustic country man was sitting on the sofa.

He thought he would bring his girls too, but apparently he didn’t.

Not across from Arianna, she deliberately sat close to him. She

She said and she put her hand on his shoulder.

“Hero, I look forward to meeting you.”

“Is that so?”

The hero with his face reddened and his gaze directed to his chest bone — Landau.

As expected, he was a commoner who couldn’t handle his gaze properly.

“I am Arianna di Varga. Please feel free to call me Arianna.”

“Oh yes, Arianna!”

“You can just leave it alone.”

“Oh no! How dare I do that to the princess.”

Still, it was fortunate that he knew his subject.

If he had boasted about being a commoner that he was a hero, he would have taken a little more effort to tame it.

Rando asked Arianna cautiously.

“What will happen to me now?”

“The hero is also true. We didn’t come here to catch and eat the warrior. You can be comfortable.”

“Comfortable?”

“Yes. However, there is something we would like to ask of you.”

Aspirations for the world like a warrior at the declaration ceremony.

Especially with the content that he will take the lead in defeating the Demon Kingdom.

Regardless of the motive, the Celestina case had to be forgotten by focusing on the fact that Balbino had attempted to raid the academy.

Lando replied with a nod of his head.

“Is it okay if I tell everyone what I think?”

“Yes, warrior. I look forward to saying something like a warrior.”

While talking with him, the maid said that it was time to get ready, and she entered the drawing room.

Eventually, Lando put on the tailcoat her maid had prepared for her and headed for the banquet room.

The banquet room, decorated in vivid gold, made the faces of various people shine.

The orchestra played the music calmly.

Lando swallowed involuntarily at the noble space he felt for the first time.

As Arianna stood on the podium, the nobles who were talking shut their mouths in unison.

“Thank you for your hard work, coming a long way today.”

She continued her formal greeting.

She then gestured to Lando, who was standing by the podium.

“The reason I called you today is that the new hero who will succeed the legendary hero is here right now!”

The audience opened their eyes wide and became agitated.

Rando walked beside Araanna.

People’s heads all moved in the same direction.

Arianna gave her signal with a nod of her head.

It means to tell everyone about your aspirations as a hero that I just talked about.

Lando took a step forward and opened his mouth.

“Hello. Hey, this is Lando, who became a hero this time.”

The first words are not shy enough to be called a warrior.

Still, the first princess of the kingdom, not anyone else, guarantees it.

All the audience listened.

He said that the fact that he is a hero still doesn’t come across well, that he feels a great responsibility as a hero, and that he will do his best to subdue demons and monsters.

The king also nodded and put on a satisfied expression.

But it didn’t take long before Arianna’s unexpected words came out.

“In the end, I think the reason we stand against the Demon Kingdom is to fight against unjust violence. In that sense, I think the hero should do his best to eliminate not only the Demon Kingdom, but also unfair violence between people.”

Lando cited the Celestina case as an example of unwarranted violence between people.

The king’s expression immediately distorted.

The audience also showed a puzzled expression.

“I set my first goal as a champion today. One is to reveal the true nature of the incident related to Celestina, and the other is to Benedetta who was punished for making such an effort—”

The red-faced king got up from his seat and strode up to the podium.

And then he opened his eyes to Arianna and said.

“Are you even going to embarrass me?!”

“Oh, no, Obama.”

“Then what is the human called the hero you brought talking about?!”

Ariana grabbed Lando’s arm hastily. She

She And she laughed as hard as she could and asked if what she just said was a slip of the tongue.

“No, it is my will. I will never come here as a warrior again if the kingdom wants to interfere with the two goals I have spoken of.”

“Yo, hero!”

Arianna didn’t know what to do between the King, who clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, and Lando, who seemed to suddenly turn cold.

In the meantime, the VIPs grasped the atmosphere and left the banquet hall one by one.

“Arianna, thank you so much for sending me to the academy. Thanks to that, I met a lot of people and learned a lot.”

With those words, Lando went down from the podium.

And she went straight back to Lauris.

*

Arianna, barely placating the king, went into her own bedchamber.

Then she let out a long sigh.

In fact, the ceremony to declare the warrior was crippled.

No, it was announced to the world, but it became the worst form for the kingdom.

Since the hero directly mentioned the Celestina case.

‘If you kill someone carelessly in this situation, you will be suspicious….’

We have to somehow capture Lando in the kingdom.

How to do that.

Ariana remembered one thing.

In Lando’s rural hometown, his parents still farm.

She summoned her maid and gave her instructions.

“Bring the warrior’s parents here.”

“Yes?”

“These are the precious people who raised the warriors, so we have to make sure they don’t suffer from now on. Isn’t it?”

“Ah yes, I understand.”

One of the ways the royal family treats nobles is to deliberately send their children to work in the palace.

A kind of hostage.

For Lando, you can do the opposite.

I can’t just lose the gemstone I found.

I will definitely process it into a ring that fits perfectly on my finger.

Arianna clenched her fists.
