I Became an Academy Baldo User - I Became an Academy Baldo User chapter 81

war (1)

Once the trial was settled, we gathered in a private room prepared by the Academy to coordinate the details of the duel.

Perhaps because the outcome of the trial is reflected in the victory or defeat of the duel, not only me and Pom-Pong mother and daughter, but also the judge and Marina were present in the room.

It was not necessary for both of them to agree on the content of the duel, so only the mother came out of the mother and daughter.

At first glance, it seems that the daughter was sent back to the estate immediately, but it seemed like she was already preparing for a duel.

‘It’s not going to be easy to find.’

If I was the only strong person who would face me after I defeated the Robo, at least I would need someone who far surpassed the level of the commander of the Royal Knights.

But there’s no way such a famous prosecutor would risk his life for a dog fight that has no honor or nothing.

As if she were well aware of that fact, at first she was a pong-pong mother who had a relieved expression as if the fire had been put off, but as time went on, her expression changed to full of anxiety again.

“Then the content of the duel is… .”

“I think the way this duel will be played has the right to decide the one who accepted the duel.”

Before the judge could finish speaking, the dean, Marina, intervened with her eyes closed.

When there was a hint that things were going to go against her, the mother of Pompong shouted in a hysterical voice.

“Others, outsiders are out! This is a matter for our two families who are the parties to the duel!!”

“I am the dean of this academy that is responsible for the safety of the students Ian, and I am also the administrator of the academy that has become a tribunal. So technically, I am not an outsider.”

Therefore, for the safety of the students, when she said that this case could not be yielded, mother Pong Pong looked at the judge as if asking for help.

However, when the judge did not say anything and turned her head to avoid her gaze, Marina smiled.

“Shut up… !!”

“The judge seems to agree, so let Ian decide how the student duel will be done.”

“Yes, then… .”

I thanked Marina inwardly, and contrary to her expectations, I spit out the words that Pompong’s mother most likely wanted.

“The duel is not one-on-one, but war.”

“… … What?”

Everyone but me hardened and everyone looked at me with a look of disbelief.

“Hey, student Ian!! What are you talking about now!!”

“Did I say something strange? If it was 1:1, I was sure I would win, so I was saying that we should decide the war fairly.”

“What kind of nonsense is fairness… !!”

When everyone was holding me back by saying that, Pom-Pong’s mother, who saw this as an opportunity, exclaimed.

“Joe, great!! Let’s make it a war!! That’s what the person in charge said, so it won’t matter to you too!!”

His face, which seemed like he was about to commit suicide just a moment ago, turned bright and changed to a face that would have danced if he had been alone.

But that expression didn’t last long, and the next moment, the words that came out of my mouth hardened again.

“There are only two conditions.”

“Joe, terms?”

“Yes, first of all, it is forbidden to recruit ordinary citizens. It is limited to knights or paid mercenaries.”

I didn’t want to see the unpleasant thing that cut down a farmer who worked in the fields was no fun, and above all, an innocent person died because of a mop like this.

However, there was no hesitation in attacking the knights or the paid mercenaries who were exploiting citizens under these sluts.

“Of course, it is forbidden to appoint conscripted soldiers as knights and put them in front of them.”

I wish I could do something like that, but it wasn’t strange at all to put a five-year-old child in front of me as a knight.

“Chi… !”

I said it just in case, but Pom-Pong’s mother clicked her tongue as if she was going to do it the way I thought it would.

“The second is this. The loser of the duel will accept whatever request the winner makes.”

“Well, whatever… ?”

“Yes, anything.”

If I had to pick just one of the scariest words in the world, it would be ‘anything’.

Those who have more should be wary of saying anything, but unfortunately, she couldn’t afford that.

“Oh, I see… . I do what he says.”

As if foreshadowing the future that would soon come to me, as her complexion became pale blue, I secretly smiled with a satisfied smile.

The duel date is two weeks later.

The place is the estate of the Pier family.

Finally, the time has come to harvest the seeds of Baldo that were planted when Robo was defeated.

******

An agreement in the private room as to who the hell was making the rumors spread throughout the academy within a few days.

Because of that, I ended up running away from the idiots who said I wanted to avenge Pierre and asked me to join him in the upcoming fight.

‘The bastards know who’s going to put them in… ?!’

In order to protect his family, he must have gathered thousands and perhaps tens of thousands of troops, but he could not hand them over to someone else.

It was my job to harvest the seeds I planted.

‘But when is he coming?’

Last night, Hori was waiting at the S-Class Knights and Training Center, the meeting place, because he had made a good medicine to use in a duel.

At that time, I thought it would take a while since I came in avoiding the eyes of others, and I tried to wait while waiting.

“Hey, Mr. Ian… !”

Hori, with tears in her eyes while being caught by Nana, appeared.

“The appearance of infiltrating the Knights Department building was suspicious, so I caught it. I heard it’s your friend, is it true?”

“Oh, I promised to meet you here, so let me go.”

Not long ago, an intruder came to the academy for the first time in decades, so everyone was in a state of sensitivity in many ways.

Besides, there are rumors circulating that a mother and daughter are trying to assassinate me before the upcoming duel, so it was understandable that I was overreacting like that.

“Ian, I’m sorry for treating your friend like this.”

When Euclid was about to bow his head, I waved my hands in a hurry.

“It could be because everyone is sensitive. But, Horiya, what kind of medicine do you want to give?”

“Ah yes! This is it!!”

It was white powder piled up on a piece of paper that Hori, whose name was called, pulled out of her bag.

At first glance, it looked nothing like wheat flour, but the peculiar herbal scent stimulated the nose, so it was clear that it was a drug.

“What is this?”

“yes! If you drink it when you feel tired, it is a medicine to relieve fatigue!! I brought it because I thought it would be effective if you drink it during battle!”

Since it was made by Hori, the effect is certain. However, considering the side effects that always exist, I was reluctant to take this.

“So what are the side effects?”

“That, that… This drug doesn’t exactly eliminate fatigue, it pushes it back. So the more you drink, the more it accumulates and accumulates… .”

“If you keep using it, you may die from overwork, right?”

“yes!! And this is not a side effect I made on purpose and I can’t even erase it!! While Ian was training, I studied hard and finally came up with a drug with side effects without poisoning!!”

“I’m proud of you, baby!!”

As usual, Nana and Euclid, who were watching, asked when they slapped Hori’s head.

“Hey, Ian… . What is that kid talking about now?”

“Sir, there’s no way that guy’s friend is normal. I’m just talking crazy, don’t worry about it.”

“Hori is right, but if you say that, doesn’t it mean that Euclid, my friend and I, is also a jerk?”

“Shut up.”

“majesty… ? Euclid?”

Hori, who had been muttering those words, suddenly turned pale and asked me.

“Hey, Mr. Ian… !! Did the knight tell you to tell me earlier?! Lee, Ian is also Euclid… .”

“Oh, haven’t I told you yet? Do you know who it is?”

“Ah, ah… !!”

Only then did Hori realize who the person next to him was, and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed like the people in historical dramas.

“Wow, you didn’t know you were royalty, and you made a really big mistake!!”

It was a very exaggerated act, but in a world where insulting the royal family was a serious crime, this was the right way of life for commoners.

While Nana was nodding her head as if she should, Euclid handed a hand to Hori, who had her head buried, and said:

“Now that I’m a student at the same academy, I don’t need to give an example like this to me. So, wake up.”

“Ahh… !! Unlike Ian-san, he’s kind… !”

Hori hesitated even though she said it was okay to get up, so I said it next to her.

“I’m okay with you, so you can just use half words. By the way, I plan to do that outside of the academy.”

“… You will one day be executed for insulting the royal family.”

“Nana, it means that you treat me that much, so don’t be too hot. More than that… That duel… .”

“no. I’m not going to give you a rice cake stand.”

As Euclid had only one thing to say to me about the duel, Nana nodded her head as if expecting it, and Euclid looked shocked.

“She will surely come with a large army of more than thousands, but no matter how strong Ian is, if she continues to fight and gets tired… .”

Unlike Nana, who is estimating my strength to some extent because they are a warrior, this battle seemed reckless to Euclid, a wizard.

“I don’t know how many people will come, but by the time I’m exhausted, everything will be over. If you don’t believe me… .”

The day passed like this, calming Euclid by telling him to believe in Baldo, not me.

Time passed so quickly, and the promised shift had passed, and I stood on the plain in front of the promised place, the city ruled by House Pierre.

On the plain, in addition to Marina and the judge, who participated as observers of the duel, Jessica and other students, each accompanied by their attendants, watched the land that would soon turn into a battlefield from a distance.

‘Even if there is no entertainment, you come all the way here to watch the war?’

The students were immature, so even though they had heard the rumors from somewhere, they even had tents set up as if they had come from a picnic.

I thought that the level of aristocrats in this country would drop like this, so I sighed, and Karn, who was standing next to me, said:

“Really… Anyone who sees it would know that they even came to see flowers.”

“From my point of view, you are also similar guys. After work, I have something for you guys to do, so wait nearby.”

“Yes. I will tell everyone to prepare.”

Although they were unlikely rapier users, they agreed on the point of peer revenge.

As Karn’s group left with their heads bowed, I turned my head to look at the front where the enemy was waiting.

The sight of dozens of flags that looked like the seals of the mercenary corps were placed on the left and right wing, centering on the Knights with the Peer family seal in the center, it was a spectacular sight.

It was when I was feeling very lifted up at the sight of that enormous army that looked lightly over the thousands.

From a distance, I could see Marina standing here as an observer of the duel, flying in the sky and coming this way.

“The Fear family has sent a message that they want to start the war.”

“I thought it would come soon. I don’t mind at any time, so please tell me to start.”

Marina nodded, did not go right away, stood next to me, looked at the forces of the Pier family, and took a deep breath.

“Even though that many troops will soon become enemies, Ian is not embarrassed. By the way, according to the reports from the Pier family, the enemy is a large army of about 7,000.”

A total of 7,142 soldiers were combined with the Pier family’s exclusive knights and 27 mercenaries, all made up of magic swordsmen.

This meant that it could fire 7,142 times.

“It seems like he didn’t want to die at all. Seeing how many people have gathered in such a short amount of time.”

“… It looks like that. Oh, and Jessica asked me to tell you.”

“Are you Jessica? I beg your pardon?!!”

“If possible, he said he would wish for a mad swordsman to win, rather than a swindler who refers to the descendants of a hero.”

“Huh… ! All I have to do is honestly say that I support you… .”

Shortly after Marina left those last words, a trumpet sounded announcing the start of the war.

I smiled involuntarily at the sound of the sweet fanfare announcing the Baldo festival, and I put my hand on Nanga’s hilt and ran towards them.

“I’ll kill everyone without leaving a single one behind!!!”
