Academy Slave Instructor

150 – The Last Line of the Kingdom

The Last Line of the Kingdom

The day of the Academy Martial Arts Competition has dawned.

Except for pure wizards, there would be no academy student who did not expect this day.

Upper graders who can’t stand their spirits because of the second graders called Golden Horsemen, academy students who deal with geniuses of the same age, and first graders who went to the academy while listening to the brilliant activities of their immediate seniors, all are determined to play the game. Prepare.

While some people are nervous and others are fighting, there is a girl who looks at the list with the brightest eyes than anyone else.

The girl’s name is Sesset. She is a gambling addict.

“Hmm, hmm… What do you think, instructor crazy about gambling?”

“You must be crazy about gambling.”

Rai frowned at Sessett’s question.

But she has nothing to say since he also came to the place where they were betting on who would win from the morning.

“As expected, the dividends of the three are the lowest. Violet, Diana, and Sojeta. Or will a new dark horse come up? 4Th year senior Bederot is okay, but compared to the other three, there is no possibility, right?”

Sesset ponders as she looks over her roster.

Rumors spread among her academy students that Rai’s private lessons are excellent, and Philia and Abigail are also on the shortlist for the championship, but she doesn’t even look at them.

As a friend, you could call them ruthless, but the presence of the top three was just as great.

“Hmm… Could it be last year’s winner, So Zeta, who lost her honor, or is she Diana, who showed the miracle of defeating Violet? If not, is it Violet as well?”

There were many candidates on the list, but most of the money was going to three.

Thanks to this, the dividends of the other candidates were so high that their eyes popped out, but no one was expecting them except for loyalty or those who were aiming for reverse dividends.

“Don’t pretend to be weighing things like that, just tell me one thing. You’re here to ask for money anyway. Are you going to tell the vice president?”

“You’re naturally intimidating.”

“It’s a report of illegal activities based on strict law-abiding spirit. What do you think, Diana?”

At Seset’s question, Rai sees Diana’s name at the top of her large bulletin board.

Since you showed a great performance last year, there are many people who are betting money with expectations this time around.

But Rai shakes her head.

“Diana will never beat Violet in her future life.”

“……”

She simply asked her to predict her match, but when the answer came back, she foresaw a bleak future.

As she is Seset’s attendant, she looks at her with a curious expression, as if even Rin thought it was surprising.

“As it stands.”

“Aha- because you’re a lazy genius?”

“If she was a genius, she could have been a little lazy.”

“You became enemies with Diana? That’s an extremely harsh assessment. Aren’t you two close?”

No one could have imagined that Diana would receive such an evaluation.

After staring at the side of Rai’s face who doesn’t answer, Se-Seth narrows her eyebrows as if he doesn’t like her, then takes out her money and asks.

“So what about Sozetta?”

“Wasn’t there just one question?”

“I think I gave it a bonus while doing it. It’s scary to bet because the evaluation is so harsh.”

Laughing at Sessett as she tossed her money bag from her hand, Rai finally tells it.

“Sojetta will probably lose to Violet.”

“Has Violet grown that much?”

“Well, their growth potential is similar. Both of them are geniuses that I can’t compare to. Geniuses are so annoying.”

If someone who knew his identity was next to him, he would have cursed.

This is not a sound that a demon from all over the world who went to war in his early teens, pierced countless limbs, toured all four countries as if on tour, and defeated the strong one by one.

I don’t know her identity, but I know that Rai’s skills are hard to measure, so even Sessett frowns at her.

“Yes, yes. Geniuses suck. So why is Sojeta losing when both are geniuses?”

“The type is different. If Sojeta played against Violet last year, I don’t know, but now if they fight 10 times, they’ll win once.”

“Can I hear what you mean by different types?”

Rai turned around at Rin’s question.

She always keeps her mouth shut unless it is necessary. Rai, who looked at her question for a while, told her with her disapproving face.

“If both teach one, they learn ten. But Violet instinctively realizes ten, and Sojeta teaches one, and fills the rest with imagination.”

Sesset’s head tilted at the meaningless words.

Lynn, who was worried with a serious expression, asked in a slightly confident voice, not sure if she was right.

“Are you saying Sojeta is good at analysis?”

“Yes, it’s similar. He predicts countless situations based on one experience. He has great imagination. And he has a talent for turning his imagination into experience.”

“But Sojeta-nim must have a lot of sparring experience. And “

She is human no matter how strong Violet is.

Uses human swordsmanship and follows human movements.

Sojeta could have fully analyzed her matches or sparring.

“It’s the difference in responsiveness. Violet is especially hard to tell what she’s thinking, so the difference between winning and losing is whether she can see the opponent in front of her and deal with it right away. Violet’s quick instincts are such strong instincts. It is.”

Rin, who had never heard of Rai teaching So Zeta or being close to her, thought with her eyes down, then lowered her head.

“Thank you for broadening my horizons. Thank you.”

“That’s just an ordinary instructor’s opinion.”

While the two are talking, Sesset bets Violet.

“All in.”

“Yes, I got 20 gold.”

“My lady, where did you get that kind of money…”

“Hmm? I bet my allowance and living expenses. When it comes to the rent and this and that, it comes out quite a bit. Since the dividend is small, I have to bet a lot.”

She smiles brightly as if she did well and tugs at Se-se-se’s ears while Rin gives her a sermon.

Last semester, I said I believed in you, but I can’t stand it this time.

Someone bets the money behind Rai, who is giggling as she refunds her money and sees Sesset being dragged away.

“I bet on Miss Philia and Miss Abigail. 1 Gold each.”

Rai turns her back and sees a silver-haired man in front of the reception desk.

In order to increase the academy’s finances, outsiders were allowed to watch the martial arts tournament starting this time.

She didn’t allow anyone to come in. She sent out invitations to people in key positions.

“That’s not what I’m talking about, but they don’t stand a chance.”

“Is that so? I was looking forward to receiving private lessons from a great instructor.”

The silver-haired man laughs at Rai’s words and bets on Philia and Abigail.

His face bathed in the sun was graceful, yet it contained the dignity of an aristocrat.

“There’s nothing special about the academy. The manager is out of his mind, so anyone can get through it.”

“Well, I received an official invitation.”

The silver-haired man shows the invitation card and smiles.

“My hair is very damaged.”

“Mr. Lai’s hair color… Is a bit faded.”

A silver-haired man smiling while stroking his white hair suggested that we walk together.

You can’t even call each other where there are people, so Rai nods and walks through the academy campus.

They didn’t use soundproofing magic, but the two of them took a walk talking as if they were having a normal conversation.

“It’s been a while, Ermene. Shouldn’t I call you by the name on the invitation?”

“Ermene is written on the invitation. He is the head of the Sahalan region.”

“hahahaha- The empire is pretty lax.”

Listening to Ermene’s answer, the third prince of the Caylan Kingdom, Rai shakes his head in amusement.

Ermene, who smiled at the people passing by, looked at the bench and said.

“Shall we sit down for a while?”

“So what?”

The two sit down and do not say anything.

Ermene, who seemed to be taking a break watching people pass by, smiles softly as he sees his academy students pass by.

“You look so happy. You have the look of the knights I’ve been dreaming of.”

“Eh? I’ve never seen a face like that before.”

“I never said I dreamed of Mr. Rai.”

“When I entered the castle, you and I were the only ones chasing after you.”

Ray and Ermene, who talked about childish memories, look at each other and smile.

“So, is the seal well written?”

Ermene’s smile hardens when he sees Rai’s face as he speaks with a bright smile.

He shakes his head bitterly as he removes his hands from his coat pockets.

“No. It doesn’t work at all.”

“Yes, I am no longer a slave to a young lizard, but a slave to the Almighty God.”

Rai laughs and raises his middle finger toward the sky.

When the Empire invaded the capital of the Kingdom of Kaylan, the top priority was neither the king nor the mountain of gold and silver treasures.

Seal. I found a seal that can control the children of the tomb, and control the demons of all nations at the Gate of Ketranca.

But King Margos no longer had the seal, and he died without revealing the seal’s location until the end.

“Can I get this as a souvenir?”

“Giving a slave collar as a souvenir? Quite a bad taste.”

Rai narrowed his eyes at the hateful seal in Ermene’s hand.

Ermene, who put it back into his pocket as if he knew it, stretched himself and got up.

“Checking is over, are you going back?”

“No. We should also look at the skills of the students Lai raised. I’m looking forward to it.”

“What are you thinking, you guys?”

At Rai’s words, Ermene turned his head and met his eyes.

“Well, now I… No. I don’t know what everyone is thinking.”

It was a very implied statement.

It seemed that they were turning around because they did not want their intentions to be revealed, and if the words were interpreted literally, it also meant that they had become a band of bandits who had lost their purpose after a long life of rebellion.

“If you do anything strange today, you will die too.”

“Yes, I know. Mr. Rai is like a knife in that way. Today, I’m really only going to watch the students.”

Ermene looks at his academy students with sad eyes.

“Are we evil?”

“… Are you asking me about the meaning of your existence?”

As Rai asked back mischievously, Ermene smiled.

But there was still one thing that looked sad.

“You look happy. The academy students and the people of the Empire. Here is the face I’ve been waiting for.”

“What if I quit now?”

“I’ve come too far to quit. There are so many people who have followed me with their backs. Now I understand how you feel. I didn’t know the responsibility pushing from behind was so heavy. How did you survive?”

At Ermene’s question, Rai shrugged his shoulders.

“There’s nothing else to do but hold on. Look at my back and follow me! I’m talking arrogantly and running as I please.”

“hahahahaha, that’s your answer.”

A silence flows between the two who stopped talking for a moment.

“Oh, that’s right. Did you guys kill Joshua?”

Seeing Rai ask as if she remembered something she had left in the house, Ermene nodded lightly.

“Hmm… Are there enough kids left?”

“We are also people who follow after heroes in our own way… No, we must be specters now.”

Looking down at the sitting Rai, Ermene opens his mouth as if to say something, then shakes his head.

“We talk like we’re going to do something great, but actually we don’t have any power anymore. The Empire is great.”

“It’s great. I’ve been covered too.”

“You didn’t lose. I realized greatness.”

Ermene looked down at her bare hands and smiled dejectedly.

“That’s the most incomprehensible thing. How a shady, mean, heartless cold-blooded man can make his people laugh. It’s so terrible and wonderful that it gives you goosebumps.”

Ermene, who muttered something that sounded like talking to himself to see if he was really looking for an answer, weakly clutched his empty hand and turned around.

“I’m going to try one more last time.”

“Do whatever you want.”

Rai smiled and answered.

“But don’t worry. I have no intention of causing trouble to the people who are making such happy faces. I just want to give a blow to the guys who know us funny and want to use them as chess pieces. And… “

Ermene stopped walking and smiled bitterly at Rai.

“It’s also atonement.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“It’s our lineage’s fault. I hope you use the card I’m giving you. At that time, please send it with a smile as before.”

Ermene leaves without listening to Rai’s answer.
