I Became an Academy Baldo User - I Became an Academy Baldo User chapter 55

“Jessica, doing this reminds me of the entrance ceremony. Do you remember when we talked happily together?”

“… … .”

Jessica didn’t answer any questions I asked if she had slept last night with anticipation, but she kept her eyes closed and her mouth shut.

It’s really cute that you can’t sleep because you’re not a child and you’re looking forward to being assigned a class.

“By the way, is the training going well? Power is important, but speed is just as important, so how about that part? I think it would have been a little faster because I shortened the big weights on both heads… .”

Jessica was constantly talking next to her so that she would not sleep, and Jessica opened her eyes and sighed deeply.

“Is there anything you want to ask me today?”

“What do you want to ask? There is nothing, why?”

“It’s okay if it’s not a few days like that day, so I want to shut your mouth for just a moment.”

You wanna shut me up?

I want to chat with Jessica happily until the class starts, but why can’t my feelings be conveyed?

“Then I won’t talk to you today, so… No, can I just ask two questions?”

“Two days… Two, two days.”

“Oh, that doesn’t really matter. Then, I will give you a rough outline of the names of your ancestors and when they were active――!”

Before I could finish my words, Jessica grabbed me by the neck and stopped me.

Jessica grabbed me by the collar without paying attention to the eyes around me, and said, glaring fiercely at me.

“you… !! If you think that I will tolerate such ridicule, you are mistaken!!”

“I’m not joking, I’m seriously asking… .”

Jessica, who was glaring at me while holding my collar, slowly let go of the hand holding the collar, as soon as she read the seriousness in my eyes.

“… … You’re not really trying to make fun, are you?”

“I swear on my feet. I’m not going to make fun of you with this.”

“… Saying I swear to Baldo doesn’t give me any credibility, but let’s believe it. Just keep in mind. If you mock me for this, I will never forgive you.”

How can Jessica be able to say this confidently when she can’t even fight me properly, let alone defeat me?

I felt like making fun of pointing out that baseless confidence, but now is not the time.

“I understand, so tell me. First of all, the name.”

“huh… The first name of the founder is Hammer.”

“Hammer… .”

The possessor who was possessed in the novel like me had one thing in common, and that was the name.

Reat at noblemtl.net

My name who supported Baldo was Ian Ba Tow.

Ian is probably a variant of Iai, meaning ceremonial art, and ba tou is a variant of battou, the Japanese pronunciation of baldo.

‘Pongpong hyung’s name was also Ray von Pierce, so it must have been… .’

Hammer, Hammer… .

It’s not a gag, it’s just a silly joke. No matter how hard I thought of it, I did it. Hammer is something Hammer. If my name was Hammer, I would leave the house.

“And when were you active?”

“… It is said to be about 600 years ago.”

“600 years… .”

The time Pong Pong hyung was active was about 200 years ago.

The time when primitive Jessica was active was about 600 years ago.

Is it just a coincidence that there is one each about 200 years ago and 600 years ago based on today’s standards?

If it is not a coincidence, then what is the reason for sending the possessor in 100-year units?

The modern human lifespan is about 100 years. In this world where medical technology is not developed, most of them live for 60 or as long as 80 years.

However, human beings who have trained their fighting or magic to the limit live longer than that, sometimes as long as 200 years.

‘Then, you simply don’t want the possessors to meet each other, so this arrangement?’

If so, why?

Why did the author send us into the novel in the first place?

‘No, I don’t know if it’s the former, but the latter said it with his own mouth.’

[If you buy it like that, try it yourself.]

That’s what he said when he put us, or at least me, in the novel.

So, first of all, I thought about it on the premise that there is no lie in that statement.

If there was no lie in that statement and the same thing was said to the other possessors, the fact that the period of possession is 100 years may be to avoid overlapping activities.

There are a limited number of enemies to defeat, so the more possessors at the same time, the less chance you will have to show off your skills.

‘… Indeed, that was the purpose.’

In other words, the writer had a foreboding that my foot swordsmanship would take away all the opportunities for other possessors to play an active role, and this was how I dealt with it.

Smart but stupid.

If you have predicted the consequences of foot casting and took this action, of course I am sorry that I do not know foot training, shouldn’t I apologize?

I frowned when I saw the foolishness of the man who could not admit his mistake and whined only in the skill window.

“ha… .”

“What a sigh… no it’s okay I’m just tired of caring about you.”

Saying that, Jessica quickly turned her head. Even if you say it like that, it seems like I’m a little worried.

Time passed in a flash while I was thinking about this and that, and Marina appeared with white snow, just as it did at the entrance ceremony.

“The first time I saw it, I was okay with it, but the second time I saw it, I got tired of it. Aren’t you supposed to do this every time you gather in the hall?”

Laughter flowed from the seat next to him at the words he just said to himself.

As soon as she turned her head, Jessica kept her cold expression as if she had always been, and silently looked at Marina.

After that, Marina’s boring conversation continued for a while, and the long-awaited moment of class assignment finally arrived.

“In front of the person calling.”

Class B and lower are not erected by name, but from Class A, they are set up in front of it in the sense of being an example to new students and juniors.

It was an event to build up the self-esteem of students in Class A and above, but to be honest, it was hard to hold back my laughter when I saw them smirking with such skills.

‘… Third grade is a bad year.’

The number of students in Class S exceeded ten even though there were only knights students.

The Academy’s class placement evaluation criteria is relative, not absolute.

So, unless there are several exceptional talents in a grade, there are usually three or at most five in S class.

So, the fact that there are now ten means that, unless it is a special case, there is no special talent in the third year.

‘When someone asked why it was a relative evaluation rather than an absolute evaluation, the author said so.’

This is to select excellent students and teach them with the highest efficiency.

Of course, even in absolute evaluation, if the evaluation standard is set high, excellent students can be selected, but in that case, not a single student who passed the S class may come out.

In order to prevent such an accident, the academy adopted a relative evaluation system that can be flexibly dealt with.

‘Now in second grade… .’

There were a lot of 3rd grade S class, so it took quite a while before I could see 2nd grade S class students.

Unfortunately, the next swordsman did not attend, so we could not see it.

On a day like this, it would be nice if I could illuminate my face a little and get my feet hit me at the same time… .

‘Three… .’

The next swordsman did not attend, but three other S class students attended, so he came forward.

In the eyes of the public, all three are superior to Jessica, but that does not mean that there is an overwhelming difference.

Considering the speed of Jessica’s growth now, it was a level that could catch up in the next few months.

‘No matter how much the relative evaluation is, only one person… It wouldn’t have been possible to select only students who hardly ever appeared in the academy.’

Originally, the S class should have only one next swordsman, but it is impossible to go beyond talent through hard work.

Therefore, it is likely that he was specially assigned to S class by judging the results of the matchmaking before class assignment and the skills that the teachers saw.

‘Then a few more will come in my case.’

This is only true if Peter is a human who can distinguish between public and private.

Is it Jessica or the younger sister of the next swordsman who is presumed to be coming in?

There may be a few other students who manage to be talented, but to my knowledge, these two were the most influential.

“then… .”

All the called sophomores returned to their seats, and it was finally the turn of the first year, but Marina looked around the students and said,

“Finally, it is my turn to call the first-year students, but before that, I will listen to Sir Peter, who has been newly appointed as the S-Class in charge of the future.”

When the name of the Royal Knights appeared, the atmosphere heated up.

In particular, the students of the Knights Department thought that they could meet an enviable object, so there were even some who cheered without knowing it.

I wasn’t surprised because it happened in the original story, but my palms were a little sweaty in anticipation.

‘no way… Wouldn’t it?’

If I don’t do it, I won’t kill it or anything, but if it just goes on, I don’t think I’ll stand still.

Peter finally appeared on the podium as he was stroking Nang-a just in case.

“… … uh?”

And the eyes of the students were dyed with doubt.

“Blood, Sir Peter?”

It was not normal for anyone to see him standing up without repairing the broken armor that would have fought with me.

Peter stood on the podium without answering Marina’s question and opened his mouth with a trembling voice, grabbing the podium.

“priority… before start… I would like to state in advance that a rumor circulating in the academy is groundless and nonsense.”

Since no one was unaware of the rumor that had spread throughout the academy, the question naturally centered on Peter’s intention in making such a statement.

And Marina, who was well aware of how the rumor had been distorted, urged Peter with a surprised face.

“Oh no!! Sir Peter! Gee, what are you talking about now? !!”

“He, and the bar, the foot… !!”

Despite Marina’s restraint, Peter, who was muttering so much to keep his promise to the end, shouted out with blood.

“Baldo technique is the strongest swordsmanship that converts frictional force into kinetic energy during kicking!! This is a scientifically proven fact!!”

Everyone had different feelings about those words, but the only thing they heard was that they were silent.

Only one person, except me.

– Clap clap!!!

Standing tall in the midst of everyone’s silence, I alone applauded Peter and smiled vigorously.

“Bahahahaha!! Balhahahaha!!”

All eyes focused on Peter begin to focus on me.

Among them, Marina gave me a particularly lifelike look, but what should I do?

I literally didn’t do anything.
