How To Survive as a Crazy Prince - How To Survive as a Crazy Prince chapter 109
After giving Dimitri advice that was probably, no, obviously wrong, I left the arena, leaving Dimitri to start practicing alone again.
“Ah, ah. Woah, Crown Prince!”
Then, as if Mi-ryung was waiting, he jumped out as if he was busy bending behind the building. I had been feeling the presence for a while, but I was a little dumbfounded by the appearance that caught my eye in some sense.
“What is going on?”
When I asked, Mi-ryung seemed nervous and swallowed dry saliva.
“Oh, that, that. It is said that there is something I would like to consult a little about with Dimitri. I’m not sure if it’s the right thing for someone like me to dare to ask the crown prince for advice, but… … .”
And at the end of gibberish, shaking his gaze here and there,
“Oh, it’s nothing. sorry!”
He lowered his head and shouted. And he tried to run away.
“Hey!”
“I’m annoyed, so just tell me. It makes me uncomfortable because I care.”
I stopped Mi-ryung by grabbing her tail. Mi-ryung, who had almost fallen, managed to straighten herself up and stood in front of me.
“What advice? Say anything about the Colosseum. I will listen.”
“Ah, I see. If it’s not rude, please… … .”
Mi-ryung put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath.
“Me, me. I plan to participate in the Colosseum this time. and… … .”
and,
“If I win, I’m thinking of confessing to Dimitri.”
“… … You too.”
I made a declaration that was not different from what I thought it might be.
“yes?”
“No, nothing. Right. with pleasure.”
How much progress has been made while I don’t know. This is Iris. It’s a gamble. Well, I’ve been distracted every day. To be honest, I’m a little grumpy.
“I’ve only gotten a lot of help from Dimitri so far. But it can’t be like that all the time, I’ve been thinking recently… … .”
Mi-ryung was speechless. But then he raised his head and looked at me.
“I want to show that I can stand tall by winning the Coliseum.”
In those words, I felt a clear and strong will.
“is it. But winning won’t be easy.”
“I guess so. Still, I want to go where I can go. After that, I think I won’t be ashamed of myself.”
Her voice trembled with tension, but Mi-ryung’s eyes were clear.
“I also want to prove that I can do it when I do it and be recognized by everyone.”
The prisoner girl, who tried to hide somewhere under the pretext of smelling a beast, was nowhere to be found.
“… … indeed. It’s a good attitude. Let me cheer you on.”
In the original work, he had an enterprising mindset that was completely different from what he thought was unavoidable as a prisoner until the end.
“It looks like Dimitri is also participating, but maybe they’ll get into a fight?”
“I am committed to that. Dimitri doesn’t seem to believe in me that much.”
Mi-ryung smiled bitterly as if she was embarrassed.
“After all, recently, when we meet, we haven’t really done anything other than sparring. No matter what I try to say, it becomes awkward.”
The fight between the two was a match. It must be because their skills are similar and they are fundamentally kind to each other.
“But you can’t be in a protected position forever. For me, no, for Dimitri.”
However, Mi-ryung’s determination not to yield seemed even stronger.
“okay. With that mindset, you’ll probably be able to beat Dimitri soon. I can’t say for sure if that’s the case in the Colosseum either. … … hmm.”
I didn’t expect to be this serious, so I felt a little sorry for encouraging Dimitri.
‘Well, there’s no reason for me to take responsibility for the relationship between these two.’
In the first place, they couldn’t make it this far in the original work and were tragically separated. I’ve helped both of them enough by not being like that now.
“Don’t cheer me on. You can do it.”
“… … yes. thank you!”
At this point, the best thing I can do is to support them with sincerity rather than revealing the pointless truth.
“Ah, by the way, is the crown prince participating too?”
“yes. I am quite looking forward to it.”
“… … Then, to be honest, winning would be impossible. I will try my best to be at least runner-up.”
“If you do your best, that’s enough. Let’s have fun fighting when we meet.”
I am looking forward to seeing what new skills he will show and how strong he will be. I’m especially curious about Mi-ryung, who disappeared early in the original work.
‘This Coliseum isn’t bad either.’
It felt quite satisfying just to have something new and interesting that didn’t exist in the original work.
But at that time, I hadn’t yet noticed the real anomaly at the Colosseum.
In the evening after most of the lectures.
‘Is this the professor’s room that Mustafa talked about?’
I went to the professor’s room at the Colosseum to file an objection to Eugene’s disqualification.
“Hey?! Ah, hello, Crown Prince.”
“Well, I’m completely out of my hands now. Nothing comes out now!”
Maybe it was because he had recently robbed a professor related to Carte, but just heading to the hallway where the professor’s room was was enough to instill fear from other professors passing by. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Honestly, I don’t think it’s all self-employed. If you haven’t done anything wrong, there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Standing in front of the professor’s door at the Colosseum, I raised my hand and tried to knock.
“Hey, hey. It’s kind of embarrassing. Even if you suddenly suggest such an unconventional rule, we have a stadium that fits it… … .”
However, a panicked voice came from inside, and he stopped.
“No, no, no, no, no refusal! However, if you know that it is not easy with our current budget and time… … .”
I put my ear to the door and focused my auditory nerves.
“yes yes. I understand what that means. But even if we do, at least for the next Colosseum… … . This time, since the crown prince is also there, I’ll go in the safest direction as possible… … . Ugh, oh no!”
I heard the professor’s desperate, trembling voice answering the professor’s very small words. However, I didn’t feel more than two people pretending to be popular.
‘Is it a phone call? Well, it wouldn’t be strange if it gradually spreads as trains pass through.’
If you think about it, the reason I didn’t have a phone in my mansion might be to block and censor my contact with the outside world. Even so, I don’t think it was censored properly.
“Ahhh… … . Well, if you support me that much, there’s nothing I can do about it. All right… … .”
The professor in charge, who repeatedly said that he was in trouble or sorry, finally gave an affirmative answer with a deep sigh as if he had surrendered. Soon, silence came with the sound of a signal breaking, and then I knocked on the door.
“Who is it? now i have a headache I want you to come back.”
The professor in charge replied in a tired voice.
“Hmm. Is that so? Then, when you feel better, please contact me.”
“Call me, I know who you are in the first place… … hmm?!”
The professor in charge, who was slightly annoyed, took a deep breath and strode forward to open the door.
“Aren’t you, Prince Mikhail? What are you doing in such a shabby place!”
Then he found me standing in front of the door and asked in a trembling voice.
“I want to tell you a little bit about the Colosseum.”
“Is that so… … ?”
The professor in charge replied in a very nervous voice. Recently, rumors of robbing professors related to Carte spread, so most professors faced me in this way. To be honest, it’s a bit annoying when you need to talk.
“Um, there aren’t many things I can say for sure at this point… … .”
The professor in charge looked around as if he was looking for something to make an excuse for. I was a little annoyed and sighed heavily. If you say something long and verbose to a person in this state, they will hardly understand it.
“Then tell me directly. Can you allow Eugene to participate in the war?”
So I just stated my requirements firmly.
“He just got caught up in a fight between me and Iris, so I think banning him from participating is too much. So I would like you to change your mind and allow me to participate in the war.”
“yes. Well, I can listen to that much.”
Surprisingly, permission came easily.
“If you’re going to allow it so easily, wouldn’t it be better not to ban you from participating in the first place?”
“It was a measure that had no choice but to be taken because it was pecked from above. It was also a pity that Eugene did not have a chance to play an active role, so I think it worked out well.”
After the professor finished speaking, he was silent for a moment.
“But considering the style of the Colosseum this time, it might be better not to participate… … .”
And said in a rather dark voice.
“I accidentally overheard the conversation from a moment ago, what the hell is going on?”
That’s why I can’t help but ask.
“Are you listening? Then the talk is fast.”
Rather, as if he had waited, the professor in charge held up the phone in front of him.
“The representative professor’s room has a phone that communicates directly with the corps commander’s room.”
“Brigade commander… … You mean Alexei?”
“yes. I can’t send messages from this side, but I installed it at the end of last year to deliver when there is an emergency from that side. I never thought the day would come when I would be able to use this.”
“Right. So what’s the point?”
“I don’t know if you know, but the Colosseum usually takes place over two weeks.”
The number of participants alone is about half of each grade. It is by no means a scale that will end overnight.
“During that period, many spectators came from outside, so it is an event that greatly helps the knight academy’s income, the Colosseum. It is a momentous event that everyone is looking forward to.”
“Yeah, sure, but is there something wrong with that?”
“However, the corps commander said it was boring… … There will be major revisions to the schedule and rules.”
The professor in charge let out a deep sigh with a poop-chewed expression.
“Three days, in a way that ends in just one game.”
“what? With just one match?”
I asked back in bewilderment at the completely unexpected explanation. And I’m lost in thought
“Are you selecting only promising candidates in each specialty field and letting them fight? It’s not the way I like it.”
“No, it’s not like that. Applicants can participate as clerk.”
“Is that possible in just one game?”
“To be honest, I don’t know if I will or not. There is no such thing as trouble.”
The professor in charge let out a sigh. And he added with a very tired expression.
“And the way the game is played is ‘Last Man Standing.
The Colosseum, which had been drawn up in brackets and fought one after another, has turned into a battle royale in which the last person standing wins.
‘… … This, again, will be quite troublesome.’
Now I can’t find any parts that are similar to the original at all.
