How To Survive as a Crazy Prince - How To Survive as a Crazy Prince chapter 107
After spending the weekend at the mansion for the first time in a while, we headed back to the knight academy.
“You have achieved a great harvest in a short period of time. Thanks to you, Byte.”
“Ugh. Looking back, I think I said it too harshly, but… … .”
“Ivan is still cheap. Rest assured I would have done it if you hadn’t done it.”
Consoling Byte, who had fallen into a bit of self-loathing, I got on the carriage to the knight academy. Byte followed behind, followed by Katyusha carrying a large bag.
“Byte, this is the cost of labor for this job.”
After the carriage started, I took an envelope from my pocket and handed it to Byte.
“No, I haven’t been formally hired yet, so this… … .”
“That’s why we need to calculate more clearly. Leave it.”
I waved the envelope at the rejected bytes, telling them to take them. Byte accepted the envelope with a puzzled expression and flinched as if surprised by its weight.
“I put it in without worry. Check it out if you’re curious.”
“Then excuse me.”
Byte bowed his head, opened the envelope, and checked the amount.
“… … ?!”
And I was surprised at the amount, and I was surprised to the point of being funny.
“You, it’s not worth putting in money, but… … ?”
“Even so, it is less than 5% of the money you made. There is no need to feel pressured at all.”
Since he received enough to fill the large bag Katyusha was holding, it was as simple as filling one envelope to the fullest. Byte was at a loss for what to do with an expression of both joy and bewilderment. It was a cold image throughout, but it was a little fun.
“I wish you well in the future. If you come under me, I will definitely give you a bonus.”
“… … .”
When I said this with a smile, Byte remained silent with a stiff face.
Until now, he had been quietly avoiding giving a definite answer about coming under me, but
“… … i look forward to.”
It was too much money for that.
After returning to the knight academy’s special room, unpacking and taking a breather, I asked Katyusha to call me because I had someone I wanted to talk to after a long time.
“Long time no see. Crown Prince.”
Even though it was the weekend, he showed up less than 30 minutes after sending Katyusha. It was Mustafa, my swordsmanship teacher and the man who is currently teaching swordsmanship at the knight academy.
“I don’t know how much. I’ve been too busy lately.”
“I was also out of my mind, so I couldn’t see you all the time. sorry.”
“I’m sorry. We just worked hard for each other.”
To Mustafa, the brown-skinned Amerin who lowered his head and apologized, I shook my hand and replied, “Don’t worry.”
‘I wonder what the emperor would think if he found out that I was in contact with the Amerians.’
Because I have the ‘secret art of the earth’, you probably wouldn’t have thought that I, the son of the emperor, would have such a master-servant relationship with the last person of the people who were completely exterminated from iron blood by the order of the emperor.
‘To treat this as a rebellion, the guy who sent me this guy is Alexei Corps Commander.’
It feels pretty good to think that Alexei will get a lot of swearing on my behalf.
“Is something good going on?”
“Well, this and that. It’s working out pretty well. How is Mustafa living these days? You seem to be having a fairly fulfilling day.”
“… … It may be conceited, but it may not suit your aptitude.”
Mustafa replied with a light laugh. The rejection of the students in the original work has also disappeared because of my existence, so I can face it without worry.
“Then how is Eugene these days? It seems like you sparred often.”
I brought out the first question I wanted to ask today.
“Say it often, we fight every day.”
“Is it coming from there?”
“yes. without a single day off.”
Even if his personality and behavior changed, he acted the same as Eugene did in the original work.
“It will be a little bothersome. What do you think, Eugene?”
“In terms of personality and behavior prior to swordsmanship, he is doing his best to pretend to be crooked, but he is fundamentally a good guy.”
“… … Unexpectedly, you have a good eye for people, Mustafa.”
It was a fairly accurate analysis. It’s true that he’s still fundamentally a good guy, considering that he did the favor of Iris before, even though he didn’t like it.
“It reminds me of my childhood. I’m angry about something, but I don’t know how to resolve it, so I’m crooked, but I’m not completely crooked. It looks like that.”
“It is quite specific. There was such a time, Mustafa.”
In a way, compared to the original, this might be better. Eugene in the original work was a very superhuman protagonist. I think it has a cool taste just like that.
“It’s okay to be the same, how about the swordsmanship?”
“First of all, I think I have a very good eye for the opponent’s skills.”
Mustafa straightened up and started talking seriously.
“At first, I only used my own swordsmanship to deal with them, but since they used modified swordsmanship first, I had no choice but to use the Amerian swordsmanship.”
“Hoo. Did you start writing in earnest instead of mixing it up?”
“At first, I tried to do it just to give anomalies, but if I mix it up clumsily, I can’t help it because it sees through the gaps.”
Mustafa said to himself as if to make an excuse.
“And now, Eugene has learned almost perfectly how to counter the Amerians’ swordsmanship.”
“indeed… … . That’s great.”
“Of course, we only respond, but we haven’t reached the stage of fully counterattacking, but we are no longer knocked down.”
“Funny. How is your history?”
“Most of the time I won, but I was embarrassed to lose a few times because I was careless.”
Have you ever even won? Even though it was a practice match, it was an extraordinary achievement.
“Now I have reached a point where I have to deal with it with all my heart.”
“… … indeed. This is the potential of a student who entered with a special skill in swordsmanship, is this it?”
Even if it’s crooked and changed,
“That’s what a genius’s talent is.”
The main character is the main character.
In the original work, my swordsmanship skill, Mikhail, barely reached the level of B rank.
The reason I can fight on equal footing with other characters with my sword is thanks to my new ability, Boost, that I acquired regardless of my rank.
It was my way to fight with a temporarily amplified sense of time and specifications by strengthening my senses and body. To explain it as a game, the rank of the skill is low, but can it be seen as using speed hacks and ability edits?
And being able to properly compete with Mustafa without such a thing is Eugene’s talent.
“Honestly, it makes me a little jealous.”
It is the difference between the set specifications. To put it mildly, this side is the emperor’s son, but the other side is the main character.
“Nothing like that. Compared to the crown prince, I’m still far behind.”
“No need to panic. Because I know his potential very well. Rather, I would have been disappointed if you had not recognized it.”
It was good that he said it as it was without saying it in a clumsy way. As expected, bringing Mustafa to the knight academy seemed like a good decision.
“It seems that the swordsmanship is improving, but I wonder how the training of magical power is going.”
“That I don’t know either. I’ve never had a confrontation using magic before.”
“If you get a chance, try it once and let me know the result. Don’t wait.”
“All right.”
The professor in the magical power side didn’t have much ties yet. In the first place, it was only natural that he did not even apply for magic-related classes because most of them were already familiar with them. Still, it would be nice to do a minimal review.
“I thought of you because of your magical powers, Mustafa. Didn’t you tell Eugene about the secret art of the earth?”
I brought out the second question I was going to ask today.
“I didn’t tell you. … … Why do you ask such a question?”
“How about thinking for yourself?”
“… … .”
When I asked back, Mustafa was silent.
“If the Crown Prince permits it, I might want to teach you.”
Mustafa had the same thoughts as the original.
“is it.”
Although the appearance and attitude have changed a lot, the main character is still the main character.
Either way, he is a man who has the power to charm those around him.
“I can’t wait to see what he will look like in the upcoming Colosseum.”
But I’ll take the trophy. It will be me who announces my existence to the world.
“Mustafa, I plan to leave the knight academy soon after the Colosseum.”
After I finished asking the question, I brought up the biggest thing I had called for Mustafa.
“You can stay here and continue teaching swordsmanship, or you can follow me.”
It was a decision about whether or not to remain at the Knight Academy.
“… … Are you saying that I am no longer needed by the crown prince?”
“Don’t take everything negatively, Mustafa. It’s just giving you a choice. You seem to be living quite happily.”
“… … .”
Mustafa was silent at my question.
“… … The Crown Prince sometimes asks harsh questions.”
And he said a little annoyed.
“What do you mean all of a sudden, Mustafa?”
“It would be difficult if you gave me the right to make decisions like that. For me, whose purpose in life is to obey and be loyal to the Crown Prince, this is the most difficult question to answer.”
“under. is it. then give the order Please stay and continue as a supervisor.”
“I will follow orders.”
“You have a surprisingly cunning side, Mustafa.”
I chuckled. I never thought that a conversation like this would happen. It was pretty interesting.
Leaving the knight academy would only be dangerous. Rather, it would be much safer for Mustafa to continue teaching swordsmanship here.
He died heroically in the original work, but in reality, there is a wish for him to live a moderately long life.
“As for the Colosseum, how is it going?”
This is the end of an important story. I caught my breath and asked lightly.
“It will be implemented as scheduled. Other professors want the crown prince not to participate, but… … .”
“I don’t even think about that.”
“I guess so. Kill your opponent, but please don’t. That is enough.”
“It feels pretty good that nobody cares about me dying.”
I smiled and sipped the tea that had cooled since I hadn’t touched it all this time.
After a while, it’s the Colosseum. As a fan of the original, I’m really looking forward to this.
‘In the original work, Eugene and Caspal fought and Caspal won. After all, it was a flow that was no different from Eugene’s concession.’
But as of now, both Eugene and Caspal have quite different styles. What would be the outcome if the two fought now?
‘… … No, that’s fine.’
If they fight with me, how will they move?

Imagining that, as a fan of the original, I can’t calm my expectations.
But contrary to expectations,
“… … Caspal. Aren’t you going to participate?”
“yes. I am not going to participate in this Colosseum.”
It was a coliseum that rode a wildly different flow from the start, in which the original winner did not participate.
