2nd Round Villain - 2nd Round Villain chapter 124

124 – Dog Demon Aru – 1

Within Eden Academy, there are several student groups called ‘crews’. Unlike clubs created by students to get out of crowded classes and refresh their minds, ‘Crew’ is a device for those belonging to the same group to rise to higher places.

There are also several outstanding crews. Among the students studying alchemy, only the elite gathered, the ‘Ellabio Crew’, and the ‘Wingardium Crew’, which only students with their own knowledge of magic engineering could enter, etc… As Eden Academy is prestigious, the crews there are of a different level from those of other schools.

However, there was one crew with a unique status that no one would think of as a ‘student meeting’.

It’s called ‘Pantera Crew’.

It is a crew captained by Chun-Woong, who is currently in his third year at the academy and is considered one of the four major players on the continent.

No matter how great the stature of the crew, it is generally impossible to escape the level of the students. But Pantera was different.

Pantera has a long history of maintaining the academy’s top crew position for decades. But the year before last, a new student came in, and Pantera has completely changed.

Swordsmanship, martial arts, spearmanship, memorization, stealth, martial arts, swordsmanship… A talent bestowed by God, regardless of the genre, that can be seen through just one glance and made into one’s own.

An unmanned man whose overflowing fighting spirit and energy deserves to cover the mountains and the sea, and has risen to the position of an absolute powerhouse even though he is only 21 years old.

Cheonwoong (天雄), Shine Stella.

Stella was intense from the first admission. A half-assignment sparring with the Sangvis teacher and the so-called swordsman teacher Beatrice. A test procedure for the purpose of assessing students’ proficiency.

Who will be able to face off against Beatrice in the placement evaluation?

Everyone has fantasized about it at least once, but Stella has succeeded in a dream that no one has been able to realize. The fact that the prince’s escort warrior from the imperial family, who was watching the sparring at the time, couldn’t close his mouth while watching the couple’s sparring, was a topic that went up and down for a while.

Other than that, by the end of the second year, Beatrice would say, “You have nothing more to teach me.”, participate in the Imperial Martial Arts Tournament and return all contestants to within the triad, and all other monster hunter subjugation battles. such as beating the crew and achieving an overwhelming 1st place.

Stella was the academy’s specialist in name and reality that no one could dispute. Currently, he was a captain preparing to go out into society next year and working hard on his last crew life.

“Um… This year’s schedule is tight… How to schedule a joint training… .”

A high room in Eden Academy. A place where various weapons and papers are piled up in neat rooms, creating a sense of eccentricity.

Among them, there was a person wearing long, bright blond hair that was blinding. It was like a small sun, and if the criminal dared to face it, he would burn like a vampire in the sunlight.

Dominating the space by emitting bright light, Stella was reviewing the documents in her hand. When she goes out into society, she plans to become a hero worthy of her nickname ‘Cheonwoong’, but she is still the captain of a crew. It would be illogical to neglect the crew for the sake of one’s own future—she thought.

It doesn’t matter much if you have a guaranteed future, but some students see Pantera as an opportunity to improve their status. As a commoner, Stella understood the feelings of the commoners.

Rumble-!

A male student came into the room panting. Stella, who was sitting at her desk and reviewing papers, looked up and stared at the male student.

“Lord, claim! must come! Fianc had an accident!”

“Why? speak slowly.”

“Damn it, I should have stopped it! Fianc’s guy is completely yama! I even pulled out the iron bar and left the room swaying to death, but I couldn’t stop it!”

“… live? Why Fianc? Why did he stay at the training ground until late at night and train hard?”

“My younger brother got hurt during the placement test! a little too bad! under… ! I tried to stop it, but it was too strong… !”

The male student panicked and shouted in gibberish. Stella studied the boy with a calm gaze.

Sweat beaded on his sideburns, the sound of his breathing became rough, his eyes wandering. It didn’t seem like a big deal.

“To think that you were indignant that your younger brother was injured in the placement test… Come to think of it, Fianc was a guy who loved his brother very much. Beatrice-sensei couldn’t have hurt her, so did the accident happen during sparring between the same students?”

I didn’t understand well just by listening to the male student’s words. It’s common to get hurt in sparring between classmates. They had neither the experience nor the skill to reap their weapons in the event of a victory.

But to be resentful of it because it hurt not you, but your younger brother. It was a response unlike the upright stickman Stella knew, Pirank.

“It’s not just an injury! The wounds were healed with divine power, but they say the child is completely out of his mind and muttering to himself! ‘You must never attack that beast… ‘!”

“Did you use magic to attack the mind?”

“It’s not something to be taken lightly! Anyway, you have to go and dry it quickly! Fiank, you know that no one can stop you once you turn around!”

The boy stamped his feet and called out to Stella. As the captain of the crew, Stella, who is busy with work, sighed as if she was tired.

But I couldn’t just ignore his words. If the boy’s words were true, it was a big deal that the third-year student Fianc went to visit the first-year freshman who had just entered yesterday. You can go and listen to the details.

“I get it. Guide me. I’ll dry it.”

“Yes! He should probably be in the lunchroom by now!”

Stella rose from her seat and ran without hesitation to the cafeteria. It was like a gale.

Intermittently, they ran into school teachers or students in the hallways, but most of them just felt that ‘the wind was blowing’ and did not know that Stella had passed by.

Like that, when I arrived at the cafeteria just three minutes after leaving the crew office.

“… !”

She was confronted with a sight she could not have imagined.

*****

Maria and I are not very gluttonous, but Aru is different. Whether she is a wolf king or a mutt beast, the fact that she has an extremely strong appetite does not change.

Therefore, as soon as the 4th period was over, I headed to the cafeteria with Aru and Maria. Similar to the dinner in the evening, I sat down with Aru on my left. Instead, this time he put Maria on the right side. This is because the warrior went to the health room saying he had a stomachache.

Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, weak bastard anyway. Where can I use such a guy? If you don’t have strength, you must have strong will.

“The meals at Eden Academy were famous for being delicious, but I can understand the rumors after coming and eating them myself. Isn’t it?”

Maria puts the browned bacon meat in her mouth and chews it thoroughly with her mouth. I held my chin and watched him silently.

“that’s right! bruise! delicious!”

“I’ve never thought that meals in the church were lacking, but the academy really… .”

“Mary seems to be enjoying the meal. Hey Aru. Eat like Maria. If you eat like that, who will like you?”

He pointed with his finger at Maria, who was neatly and gracefully eating the meat with a fork. Aru, who ate frantically with her face buried in a plate full of meat, stupidly raises her head and boasts bright eyes. Two large, round eyes make you speechless.

“… No, eat a lot.”

He told me to imitate a dog, so he’s gradually becoming a real dog. In fact, there is no genetic difference between dogs and wolves, but would you take this opportunity to change the species to a dog?

“Aru-nim seems to be eating like someone who has been starving for several days. Did you skip breakfast this morning?”

“I hope it can’t be. I ate all the leftovers from my share, all by myself.”

“… !”

“What, what’s wrong with your expression?”

Is it incomprehensible to a saintess to eat even leftover side dishes? Maria looks at me with a fluctuating pupil.

“Two, two minutes… Were you in the same room?”

oh, that’s right I don’t usually move from room to room on the first day, so the fact that Aru ate my breakfast translates into me and Aru being roommates.

If you hide it anyway, it will be found out soon. It is better not to make lies that will fuel distrust.

“Oh, didn’t you know? They are our roommates.”

“You two are of the opposite s*x!”

“are you okay. According to imperial law, there is no distinction between male and female prisoners. It’s accurate, but it has a lot of loopholes. There is a saying that a person who knows the loopholes in laws and systems is like having an extra arm, right?”

“Nevertheless… Men and women are different, but living in a room like a man… .”

“Huh, don’t we, the saintess who grew up as nobles, get used to things like this? Will Maria come over to our room later? Shall we play all night together?”

He smirkingly put his mouth to his ear and whispered like a tickle. Maria trembled with her face red like a ruby.

“Mu, mu, what are you saying! That, that’s against the academy rules!”

“Ah, how can a person live every moment bound by rules? Siri not funny.”

If the world was made up of only norms and norms, violent incidents would not have been featured in newspaper articles every day. Stealing, murdering, and sometimes terrorism, and there’s nothing nicer to see than seeing astonished citizens going crazy.

Ha, reminds me of the old days I miss the free and fun days. Those years that will never come again, forever separated.

“Yeah, it can’t be! No matter how close Evans-nim and I are… ! And when the night comes… .”

“What about at night?”

“Huh… it’s nothing. So please forget… .”

After swallowing the words, “Personality changes at night,” Maria clicked on the fork and knife and started eating again.

I still have her secret? It doesn’t seem like he was sympathetic enough to let me know. not very upset Because everyone has secrets.

Right now, I’m lying to Maria about everything from status to age.

“gulp… damn… .”

The sound of Ah-ryu devouring food spreads through the dining room. A girl came up to us, hesitant.

no, not us The girl approaching Maria hesitated and opened her mouth.

“I… saintess… ! I want to have a meal with you. Is it okay? ?”

Her status as a saint makes Maria a star in the academy. That is why ordinary students find it difficult to approach them, but also want to approach them.

It seems that this female student came to me with the same thoughts. I’m afraid I’ll be rejected anyway, so I’m shaking to the point of feeling sorry for myself.

“Sure, please sit here.”

Maria readily brushed off the seat next to her, which no one dared to dare, and invited the female student. It was the moment when the brightly lit female student was about to sit down.

“bruise?”

“Quaaa! dog, canine… !”

As soon as Aru lifted the face she had slammed into the plate, the female student screamed in fright as if she had seen a ghost. Then he hiccupped and took a backward step at a speed that he couldn’t even see his feet.

“bruise? Why is he like that?”

“uh… Why would he be there? He looked like he was terrified… Evans, do you know the reason?”

“reason? Even if you know that, you pretend not to know.”

It seems Maria hasn’t heard rumors about Aru yet. After all, I’m the only friend around her who can talk about word of mouth. The roommate in the same room was the reticent princess Albrecht.

After that, some students hesitantly approached to make friends with Maria, but all of them ran away in surprise when they saw the face of Aru, who was sitting next to me.

Thanks to this, Maria and Aruman tilt their heads, not knowing why. Anyway, I just want Maria and I don’t care about the other students, so that’s good. From now on, when I travel with Maria, I will often accompany Aru.

“I want to say hello to the saintess… Of course, there is a dog demon next to him… .”

“Don’t go near it, there are rumors that he eats human flesh.”

“what? Isn’t that too much speculation? Who is it?”

“Did the female students chatter like that?”

Our female students, your skill at spreading rumors is excellent. It’s good that the rumors about Aru are exaggerated, but I don’t think there’s any need to stop them because they’ll probably have to eat them if they give them human flesh. Surely you can keep the students away from Maria.

Of course, if the rumors get so heated that the teachers try to sanction Aru, they’ll have to prove it’s a misunderstanding.

“It seems that there are some misunderstood rumors spreading about Mr. Aroo. If you talk to him directly, you can tell right away that he is a gentle and gentle person. Aru… Please do your best.”

“cheer up? Am I strong?”

“… .”

I chewed bread and ate meat, listening to and spilling out the rumors that were growing louder around Aru. It was when I was tearing apart a chicken leg from a well-roasted turkey with a fork.

bang-!

“Suin!! Come out!!”

With a roaring roar, the front door of the cafeteria shook as if it were going to break.
