11. Not a myth, but a legend (2)
I stared blankly at the broadcast.
On the screen was Nerkia, emitting a massive fighting aura after annihilating Arucia like some classic fantasy novel protagonist.
Shortly afterwards, the event was declared over, and the commentators that had stayed silent the entire time begin praising Nerkia, exclaiming how incredible he was.
No, he actually is incredible.
He defeated a hundred Arucia students all by himself, after all.
But one of the commentators that had been heaping on the praise for Nerkia, soon raised a different topic.
[But, what could that summon of Professor Nicerwin possibly be that not even that Nerkia exclaimed he could never defeat?]
[Im curious of that as well. Something that not even a swordsmaster, god-class summoners, a Spirit King and thousands of summons could defeat all together!]
Im facked.
Yap, owner f*cked.
Id at least said it relatively cleanly, but the metal bat went and said what I wanted to say anyway.
Yep, Im f*cked.
Owner, want me ta call over the stuco pres?
No, should I just head over and stomp on him myself?
Wiing, ya really pissed off right now, owner?
Of course.
Im saying it again, but this is the middle of the imperial capital.
Normally, giant stadiums like these are built outside the inner walls, even if theyre events sponsored by the imperial family, but one of the previous emperors constructed numerous giant stadiums near the imperial palace on the grounds that he couldnt be bothered moving very far, resulting in an insane situation where stadiums were built inside the inner walls.
The story that when his advisors tried to convince him against the idea at the time, he said if there is a shortage of places for people to live because of the stadiums, we can just make the capital bigger! and so he increased the size of the capital by over double what it was previously, was a legend that wasnt actually a legend.
As youd expect from the ancestor of the current emperor and the princess, he was well and truly insane.
Either way, thanks to that lunatic, to escape from this place, you need to get through a giant castle wall that hadnt ever been subject to enemy attack.
And in a place like that, thanks to that damn student council president, I have all the aggro well and truly locked down onto me.
Id been doing well avoiding the spotlight so far, and after Aris became a swordsmaster shed been drawing all the attention onto her!
And thanks to their heroics this time round, all the attention would have been firmly focused onto Aris and the stuco pres, but this little brat sold out the metal bat.
That sounds hella scary even to me.
What, someone that can win against a swordsmaster and a god-class summoner, a Spirit King and a thousand students all on their own?
I sound bloody strong?!
Not you, me! Im the weally stronk one here, not owner!
Yes, youre the strong one. Youre the strongest that equally beats the crap out of both gods and devils! Problem being that titles stuck to the person carrying around said strongest, i.e. me!
Now all the nobles in the capital are going to come clamoring to see me.
And among those people who want a look at me, theres definitely going to be someone who knew the person named Ast.
No matter how wide the capital is, and how plain I look, its impossible that a noble living in the imperial court could ever forget a face that served by the side of the princess unless that noble happened to be Sir Reia.
Of course, the majority of them would just think that they were very similar.
Even as they think maybe, just maybe, they will think that they look similar.
But the moment any of them think could it be? and report to the princess, she will definitely come over to confirm the report.
And the moment ya found out, owners gonna get locky locky!
And therefore, Im bailing out for now!
I wondered whether I should stomp on that damn student council president before running away, but the moment I get caught by one person, an endless hell will begin.
If I say greetings to one person, then when its over anothers going to come over and say their greetings, and once theyre done another will come over
Since I was already familiar with that to death from my time in the imperial court, I decided to punish the student council president later, and for now, pack my bags and get a disguise on ASAP!
I wish to see Professor Nicerwin!
I am Viscount Rellius. I wish to meet Professor Nicerwin!
My master, Count Kellate wishes to meet with Professor Nicerwin.
Is this Yugrasia where Professor Nicerwin is?!
At the voices coming from the teachers tents some way away from where I was right now, I realised that the nobles moved a lot quicker than they used to in the past, and I too, quickly made my getaway.
Bring, bring Professor Nicerwin!Cheêck out latest novels on
Professor Nicerwin is not here, Professor Nicerwin is in a different tent from ours!
That way, that way, please keep order!
I felt sorry for the panicking teachers, but all this was Nerkias fault!
And while deeply resenting Nerkia, I did my best to run away.
#2 Their story; Ria el Nermias story.
That is true. Mercaria too, will not want Yugrasias runaway victory to continue like this.
There must be a demand in order for a supply to be necessary.
Mercaria too, will have the number of goods they can sell decrease if Yugrasias overwhelming rampage continues, so they probably wont ask for too high a price.
Then I will return and report to Arucias high-ranking students.
I too, will report to the high-ranking noble students of Marcis.
What Mercaria wants is not money.
What they want is their future.
As the majority of them are commoners, what they want for their future is the backing of high-ranking nobles.
A guaranteed backing, complete with contracts!
I hope you will move on this matter as quickly as possible. I want to have their cooperation by tomorrow.
Yes, I understand.
With those words, the Arucia student president quickly moved left his seat.
There was nothing good to come of other people knowing that we had met each other.
But having said that do we even have a chance tomorrow?
The fact that the student council president had moved, meant that Yugrasias student council, who had by and large kept themselves quiet up till now, had begun to make their move.
Last year, even though Yugrasias average skill level was far below the other schools, their student council at least didnt lose out to the other schools.
If they began to make a move, being even stronger than they were last year, could I stop them?
All by myself?
Why is there absolutely no one usable in our academy
Everyone was just so damn weak.
If they didnt have the skills, they should at least have decent mental fortitude, but that student council president of ours fainted when he saw the massive points differential, and that so-called vice-president started inciting the other imperial faction students that this was all the presidents fault, at a time where we didnt have enough power even if we all came together.
Im sick of this
I was sick of it. Far, far too sick of it all.
Back when I was in Howling, never would I have thought I would ever miss that place.
But, why is it that when I experienced ordinary student life like other people, did my memories of that time come back to me?
Ah, of course it didnt mean that I wanted to return.
But at least I couldnt help but think that if I had just one person like No.1 or No.1000, things might have been a tiny bit easier for me.
That was it.
It was just a passing thought.
There was no way that either of them could be here.
Because them not being here was the normal thing to be!
Did you arrive just now?
The student council president was saying something with a fearful expression for some reason, but I had no spare thoughts to spare for him.
I am a Marcis student, Haeel Reia.
The person bowing her head in front of me was someone who I spent just over a year with together.
Someone who Id been missing just a few seconds ago!
N, number!
I was about to address her with a familiar name, but No.1000 cut in before I could finish.
My name is Haeel Reia.
H, huh?
My. Name. Is. Haeel. Reia.
Hmm, Haeel Reia wait no! What the heck are you doing here?
Haeel Reia is a Marcis student maybe?
What the heck is that supposed to mean!
No.1000 tilted her head slightly before sending the student council president outside, leaving just the two of us together in the room.
And
The reason Im here
Reason
It was a situation where I reflexively gulped in anticipation.
I already knew that No.1000 was working for that person called the Imperial Princess.
So the reason that No.1000 was here it couldnt be!
For this months, food bill?
That cant be rriiiiiiiiiiiiiggghhhhhthttt!
Even at my enraged words, No.1000 made an expression as if she couldnt understand just like she used to back then, and it wasnt for another two hours until I finally got the answer I wanted out of her.
