How To Survive as a Crazy Prince - How To Survive as a Crazy Prince chapter 110
The student council room that I visited after a long time.
“The professor has done something to find me in a hurry, but this has become quite annoying.”
Proud frowned as he flipped through the hastily drafted papers about changes to the Colosseum rules.

“Did you wear glasses?”
In front of that frowning gaze, there were glasses with an angular and neat design that I had never seen before. Proud, who doesn’t have a good impression for a student council president, even wears glasses, so he looks like a tired boss.
“… … I have been looking at documents a lot lately, so I set one up with a magnifying glass.”
Proud said with a slightly disturbed expression. It’s time to dig through the document. Come to think of it, I remember sending a memo to Katyusha recently. Besides that, there were times when he secretly asked Proud to do small paperwork.
“Perhaps it’s because my handwriting is bad?”
“… … It takes a bit of time because the handwriting is a little too individualistic.”
It was Proud who turned around and affirmed it. It’s been a lot of trouble since then. Even so, I have no intention of changing the writing.
“Well, by the way, thanks to this rule change, I can’t participate in the Coliseum this time.”
“You say you can’t participate? What’s going on?”
It wasn’t surprising anymore because I had thought to myself that it was already like that.
“Because the professor complained that he was asking for the work of the moderator. Since the work has become more complicated than expected, it seems that they decided that a person with outstanding ability is needed to control the situation.”
Proud answered my question by tidying up the papers and taking off his glasses.
“Is it so? It’s good to be recognized as a person with outstanding abilities.”
“It was just left behind. To be honest, I feel a little comfortable.”
Proud smiled shyly.
“You feel comfortable, did the Colosseum feel burdensome?”
“It is not like that. However, if you participate, it will be inevitable that you will meet the crown prince.”
“You mean you don’t want to fight me?”
It was unexpected. It would not be strange to say that Proud was looking forward to competing with me again.
“I already know that I am out of luck. I have already competed once.”
Like Caspal, Proud said that he would be defeated. That attitude made me wonder about this side.
“is it? I don’t think so either. Aren’t you too humble?”
“My growth has already reached its limit. It is unreasonable to become stronger than this.”
Proud shook his head and said calmly. Those words suddenly reminded me of the explanation about magic from the original story.
“Simplely strong magical power reaches its limit quickly, and at first glance, weak magical power has deep potential for development.”
“It is. In fact, there are many cases where this is not the case, but I am the type that fits exactly the former.”
“Why do you think so?”
“The magic of fire is powerful, but if you don’t control it properly, you can hurt yourself. I have reached the limit of that control now. To be honest, I can’t think of a way to get better than now.”
I understand because I had similar concerns. In fact, I also trained myself by repeating the act of hurting and recovering with boosts myself in case my body couldn’t withstand magic.
‘Well, it’s not a training that can be done normally.’
The original Mikhail couldn’t find a way to do this. That’s why, until the end, he was an inferior being who was ashamed of the emperor’s blood, who only excelled in magic power, and couldn’t handle it completely.
“Compared to me, Crown Prince is different every time I see him. I can’t even fathom where that growth will end.”
But not now. It was to the extent that it was recognized by Proud, who was one of the considerable strengths of the original work.
“… … is it. Still, there’s a long way to go. In a good way or a bad way.”
I was relieved to think that I had become stronger, but at the same time I smiled as I recalled the thought that I should not be complacent here. Proud said he was cheering for him and turned his eyes back to the papers.
“Anyway, this rule is quite unconventional.”
And one eyebrow twitched and frowned.
“To be thrown into a ghost town without even a weapon and survive there until the end.”
“Didn’t I tell you to procure weapons on your own on the spot?”
I asked the professor what I had roughly heard. It was a rule that reminded me of a battle royale game I played in the past.
“Of course, there’s no way there are weapons everywhere in the ghost town, so we’ll have to hide the appropriate weapons in advance. It sounds like it would be a pretty daunting task.”
“That’s right. I’ll be bothered.”
I thought it would be natural for some reason, but of course it couldn’t be.
“Can I look at it for a second? I’ve only heard of it, but I haven’t seen it on paper.”
“yes. Here you are.”
I received a document from Proud about changing the rules of the Colosseum and read it through.
‘At this rate, the name Colosseum is colorless. It’s completely a battle royale.’
It was a rule very similar to the battle royale game that we worked hard on in modern times.
“It is not forbidden to form a team or something, la… … . But there is only one winner, right?”
“Certainly, winning as a team is not expected. The fact that there is no mention of this part after mentioning the act of forming a team… … . hmm.”
“In the end, even the teams will fight each other. No, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have to wait until the end.”
Betrayal can happen at any time. There is nothing simpler than stabbing someone you trust in the back.
“… … That’s a bit of an extreme rule. Are you okay with this?”
“I don’t think there will be anyone who can betray me. The other teams would do well to be pretty careful.”
No matter how much it is a game, the act of betraying me is sure to be expanded. If you’re sane, you won’t do that.
‘There’s one guy who looks like he can do that casually.’
Because the current Eugene is a guy who will dig in if the rules allow it.
“The content is also the content, but why did the corps commander suggest such a sudden change?”
“I know. That’s also the year I came. Maybe it’s some kind of test.”
“… … Really, I have a lot of trouble in my later years.”
Proud muttered to himself in a low voice. I patted Proud on the shoulder and gave him appropriate comfort to be patient. Although I am the cause of suffering.
“If there’s one thing you should definitely be careful about, that’s it.”
“that… … ?”
“It’s like a mission. That outside intervention becomes very easy.”
Since the match is held in an empty ghost town rather than inside the knight academy, there is a high possibility that an outside entity will intervene. No, it is not an exaggeration to say that he will definitely do it.
“… … We will do our best to block it.”
“Please do something about that part.”
It’s already daunting to have to fight the students of the Knights Academy and at the same time check the outside forces.
“I think this Colosseum will be really fun.”
Still, it can be expected. Proud laughed bitterly as if he couldn’t help it.
The next day, I headed back to the training ground.
“i look forward to.”
“okay.”
There, the match between Mustafa and Eugene was about to begin, as I heard from the person yesterday.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen Eugene wield a sword.’
The other side hasn’t noticed this yet. I killed the presence and secretly found a good place to watch and prepared to watch.
“Ha!”
Without saying anything, Eugene quickly stabbed Mustafa with a wooden sword.
“hmm!”
Mustafa read it and stepped down on Eugene’s sword.
“Hot, haaa!!”
However, as if that was a target, Eugene resolutely let go of the sword as soon as it was stepped on, and landed a kick on Mustafa’s knee.
“Suck!”
Mustafa barely managed to evade the sudden taijutsu. However, he had no choice but to take his foot off Eugene’s sword, which he was firmly stepping on, and in the meantime, Yujin pulled back his sword with a smooth motion and widened the distance. It was a battle that happened in a matter of seconds.
“Are you aiming for the counter of the counter? It’s fun.”
“I thought this would work, chit.”
Eugene ran to Mustafa grumbling, but still with a smile full of enthusiasm.
‘Compared to the style of the original, which follows the standard to the point of being terrifying, it has become quite splendid.’
Eugene in the original work was a natural talent swordsman who actually digested the moves that could only be done in theory.
However, Eugene’s current movement was never that of theory.
“… … Kud! Sigh, ha!”
A bizarre subclass of swordsmanship, copied and pasted after referring to the techniques he had encountered and seen one by one.
‘That’s… … Is it Iris’ skill?’
In that movement, there was even the movement of Iris, which he must have seen for a very short time.
It was a greedy swordsmanship, swallowing everything at random.
What made Eugene change like this? I was sure there must be something I didn’t know about.
“Haaa!!”
The sparring that lasted for several matches ended with Mustafa’s powerful blow striking Eugene’s wooden sword and being shattered as it was.
“… … It ends like this again. How many have you had this month alone?”
Looking at the tip of the smashed wooden sword, Yujin grumbled as if she was tired of it.
“I will hear bitterness too. It was a good move today.”
Mustafa briefly commented while wiping his sweat. Eugene looked at Mustafa as if he had a lot to say, then turned his gaze toward me.
“It was a nice sight.”
I applauded and approached them both.
“I wondered if someone was stealing it, but was it you? What is it?”
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t participate in the Colosseum? Is it still Dalian? Be sincere.”
“I heard how you did it.”
“… … The news is so fast.”
I was trying to be sarcastic, but I already knew. Judging by Mustafa flinching and averting his gaze, it seems that this guy informed him. He’s still a guy who doesn’t notice much.
“I didn’t want to go that far in the first place, but I mean.”
Eugene said as if it was not very good. However, it felt like he was forced to hold back his smile somewhere, and it was evident that he was subtly happy. The setting of not being able to lie is faithful to the original work.
“It’s becoming more and more fun swordsmanship. I look forward to the day we will compete.”
“Isn’t it the Colosseum soon? I will be able to do it sooner or later.”
“Okay. How about this Colosseum because the rules have changed quite a bit.”
When I said that the rules had changed, Yujin narrowed her eyes as if to say something. I briefly explained the new rules to Eugene.
“Eugene, what would you do?”
“I will fight alone until the end.”
It was the same reaction as expected. I don’t know where all the affability of the original evaporated.
“Mikhail, aren’t you comfortable with that too? You must have enough ability to do that.”
“well. Can I survive alone in a place where I don’t know if I can get a weapon or not? What if luck doesn’t follow you?”
To my question, Eugene was silent as if he couldn’t come up with an answer.
“No matter how strong you are, there is a range that can’t be helped.”
After I put a wedge in Eugene,
“So let’s make a team, a squad with me.”
I brought out a proposal that was bound to be interesting.
