I Became an Academy Baldo User - I Became an Academy Baldo User chapter 73
your name is… (2)
“How are you?”
When I went to see Silence after a long time, Silence, who, unlike other horses, lay down like a human and rested, saw me and immediately turned his head.
‘Isn’t this kid actually human?’
Even though it was said that he was smart and resembled his master, he could not help but be a reasonable doubt considering the fact that he was lying on his back, or that he was not considered to be an animal.
Cleverly, when I knocked on the door of the magic room, Silence got up from his seat, crying briefly as if it was annoying.
I opened the door and grabbed Silence’s reins, and I got out of the stable and got on it.
“From now on, I’m going to inject speculation into your body so that you can learn it.”
I wondered what he would do to an animal that could not even understand words, but I felt less remorse by injecting it after speaking than by suddenly injecting speculation and tormenting him.
Except for individuals with increased intellect or special spirit creatures that have changed to beasts, it is almost impossible for an animal to develop its own speculation.
Therefore, it was necessary for a swordsman who knew how to use speculation to get on top and inject speculation into his body so that he could gradually learn to use it.
There is some pain in the process, but I’m not sick, so what does it matter?
“Then we’ll start right away, okay?”
“… … Purr.”
Recognizing the cry as consent, I injected a little bit of speculation into Silence’s heart.
As speculation began to circulate gradually through the blood vessels, starting with the heart, Silence trembled as if in pain, but that was all.
Contrary to what is described in the novel, there was no rampage or collapse from enduring suffering.
Silence kept her mouth firmly shut as usual, as if nothing had happened except for a slight frown.
“It’s also my sweetheart!! This kind of pain cannot stop your loyalty from wanting to help me!!”
“… … .”
When he praised Silence for showing incredible loyalty for a beast, Silence’s ears folded back.
It’s not even windy enough to bend his ears, so he must have folded his ears, but did the words mean anything?
I decided to ask the zookeeper later, and I headed to the dormitory with Silence.
I plan to continue instilling speculation into Silence while I sleep, so that he can learn speculation as soon as possible.
However, common sense is that I, a human, cannot sleep in a stable with horses.
So, just like dogs and cats, Silence had to sleep with me in my room for a while and learn to fight.
“yes? hey!! Stop there!!”
As I was about to enter the dormitory with Silence, the dormitory superintendent, who was guarding the dormitory front door, hurriedly ran and stopped me.
The superintendent, who rushed in to shoot me, looked at my face and said cautiously with a cold sweat.
“Student Ian… What are you doing now?”
“I am riding.”
“I didn’t ask that, huh… . You are asking why you came to the dormitory on horseback.”
When I explained to the superintendent what he was about to do, he wiped his face with one hand.
“Even so, to the dormitory… No, nothing. Just go in.”
I thought it would be a long horse, so I put my hand on the hilt, and the superintendent, who saw it, sighed and beckoned me to just go in.
After all, he said that most of the problems in life can be solved with feet, and there was no mistake in that statement.
I went to my room with Silence, praising the teacher’s wisdom for meekly succumbing to Baldo’s power.
The dormitory prepared by the academy could easily accommodate one horse, so there seemed to be no problem in putting Silence to sleep here.
‘But how do you sleep?’
However, there was only one problem in this room, how to sleep while touching Silence.
It would be uncomfortable if you were still on it while you were sleeping… .
Contemplating what to do, I had Silence sit right next to the bed and raised my legs, the relatively light part of me lying on the bed.
The larger the area in contact with the body, the more speculation it can hold, but since it is sleeping, this should be enough.
“Then it’s a little early, but sleep well.”
“… … .”
After watching Silence nod briefly, I turned off the light.
The first day passed, feeling Silence’s pulsating heart through his legs in the thick darkness.
*****
“… Shall we go then?”
It was very difficult to change clothes without removing any part of the body from Silence, but he managed to do it.
Now all that’s left is a toilet and a shower, but in the future, I’ll be able to solve this somehow.
I prepared to go outside, leaving the problems that had not yet come to me to the future me.
There were many students who rode carriages or horses to school, but I was drawn to the fact that there were no students even within the grounds.
“Hey you… .”
Some seniors and teachers tried to stop it, but just like the dormitory manager, they looked at my face and kept their mouths shut.
‘Is this power?’
It’s the first time I’ve felt it, but it’s a really good feeling. It made me feel even better to think that I had accomplished all of this with footwork.
With the power I gained through the martial arts, or for short, the strength of my feet, I moved forward with a dignified posture.
And, on the way to the S-Class classroom, I ran into Hori, who, unlike me, didn’t feel the slightest kick.
“Hello, Horiya.”
Hori, who was observing the reactions around her, nodded her head briefly and spoke in a low voice.
“Oh that… yes… . But Ian, why are you riding a horse… ?”
“I’m currently training to teach Silence to fight. That’s why we keep pouring speculation from above.”
“A speculation? I’m not sure, but does that mean you’re strengthening the child?”
“right? Why?”
“No, that… Was it foot surgery? I wondered if it could be used even in an equestrian state… .”
“Yes, I can write.”
Looking at the history alone, it is an academic theory that Genghis Khan, the founder of the Yuan dynasty and famous as a great swordsman, led many battles to victory with a horse-drawn sword used in a mounted state.
Baldo, which did not use a Japanese sword, also terrorized all of Europe, but what would have happened if the Mongol army had used a Japanese sword at the time… .
In fact, they were unable to withstand the storm-like attacks of using Japanese swords and invaded the Japanese mainland.
“But it will be weaker than using it while dismounted.”
“Then why are you trying to make him stronger… .”
“You’re too weak right now.”
The current Silence, who has not learned to fight, is just a horse that is slightly superior to other warhorses.
However, if you learn to fight, you will be reborn as an ideal horse that will not get tired even if you run for days and days beyond the limits of horses.
“And if you get attacked while riding, it’s a big deal. So, now that time is running out, I need to train myself to some extent.”
“Five… I was sure I was doing something crazy again… Surprisingly, it was done after thinking well.”
“What mama?”
Even if no one else knows, I can’t hear Hori say she’s crazy.
As soon as he put his hand on the hilt, Hori was startled and slapped his hand.
“Joke!! just joke!! Joke!! Just don’t get so serious about jokes!”
“There are things in the world that cannot be dismissed as jokes, and one of them is hearing you crazy.”
“I’m just pursuing a little romance, it’s perfectly normal… . Anyway, if you want to raise that child stronger, can I help you?”
“help? how?”
“By changing medicines made for humans so that they can be eaten by horses… .”
“If you don’t mind if you take the drug and get stepped on by the rampaging Silence, try making it.”
“I have an urgent business, so I’ll just leave!”
Seeing Silence’s big legs, Hori left as if to run away, and I looked at Hori’s back and whispered to Silence.
“Hey, I just saved you.”
“… … .”
In fact, if it was a horse with sensitive senses, he might have actually died from taking Hori’s medicine.
I headed back to the S-Class classroom, leading Silence to cry briefly whether he knew it or not.
“… … her.”
Jessica, who happened to meet in front of the door, approached me with an absurd expression on her face.
“… … First of all, what are you doing now?”
“Can’t you see? You are training my horse!!”
“Training… .”
Jessica, who mumbled those words, suddenly made a pathetic expression on her face and stroked Silence’s nose.
“… … You must have suffered a lot under that psychopath.”
“… … .”
Silence, as reticent as his name suggests, didn’t say anything as usual, but as if he was very sympathetic to the words, he leaned towards his face, asking for more strokes.
“Huh… .”
Jessica gently stroked Silence’s face, and I just stared blankly at the scene, not understanding what was going on.
“What is this?”
“Victims’ meeting… ? But are you really going to take this kid to the classroom?”
“I will… Why not?”
“Of course not! Do you think the dean will just watch it happen?!”
“Well… You’ll find out if you watch it.”
As I was about to go inside with Silence with that said, I heard a sound of walking in the hallway. When I turned around, Lane looked at me and shot me coldly.
“… … crazy guy.”
With that said, Lane entered the classroom first, followed by Jessica, and finally I entered the classroom.
And after a while… .
“… … ah… .”
As soon as Marina entered the classroom and saw me, she sighed deeply.
“Huh… !”
Jessica looked at me with a look of ‘Look, am I right?’
“… … Student Ian I will ask you first, but is the action you’re doing now because it means something?”
“yes.”
“… … Then I allow it. Please take special care not to cry during class.”
“yes.”
Now that the academy is being targeted by an unidentified enemy, if you use the increase in power as an excuse, Marina will allow you to do anything.
But Jessica, unable to admit that fact, stood up and said, tapping the desk.
“No, that’s absurd!! You came to class on horseback and you just passed by!!”
“Student Jessica… … .”
“Something!! Principal!!”
“Just go ahead… . If I dig deep, only this side gives me a headache.”
“Ah, ah… !! that… !!”
Jessica couldn’t respond to the voice mixed with deep resignation and had no choice but to sit down again.
