I Became an Academy Baldo User - I Became an Academy Baldo User chapter 99

Test result

A few days passed due to the attack of the Demon Swords Association, but thanks to the fact that the Assault of the Demon Sword Society was kept secret, there was no feeling of anxiety as before.

However, the atmosphere at the academy was still far from calm because of the results of today’s waiting-and-awaited placement exams.

“Ahhhh!!”

When I turned my head to the sound of crying next to me, a girl with her knees bent and crying sadly as if it were a portrait.

Like that girl, I have often seen students who failed the exam and stayed in the class or, in severe cases, were demoted to tears like that.

Conversely, the students who succeeded in the test and were promoted were excited as if a festival had been held.

It was when I was bewildered by a strange atmosphere, as if heaven and hell, or a funeral and a festival were held at the same time.

“Horleung!! Horreung!! Get out of here!!”

Let’s turn our heads in hopes of hearing a familiar, foolish voice… .

“The S class student is leaving!! Horrreung!!”

Hori, who raised a flagpole with a flag stating that she passed the S class, was running toward me singing a song that made me want to sleep.

“uh? Mr. Ian! Mr. Ian, who is in the same S class as me!! You may have seen it, but I was promoted to that S class!!”

“okay… .”

At Hori’s words, the students who failed the exam’s sharp eyes fell on Hori, but Hori didn’t care.

Rather, he was walking slowly with a light but slow pace as if he was enjoying those precious gazes.

It was just that he had a supporter, but it was a dramatic change that made me wonder if it was Hori, who until recently had kept his eyes down even if the nobles only looked at them.

“Compared to when we first met, has it changed a lot?”

“Hehe!! There is no need to hide this overflowing intelligence anymore! If I use the analogy of Mr. Ian, would it be similar to the fact that I was able to use it after hiding it for a while?”

Comparing the act of torture to the ban of Baldo was a bit annoying, but I knew what he was trying to say.

“By the way, Mr. Ian… If it’s okay with you, can you come to my class once in a while?”

“why?”

It was a useless reason, but it was the same reason as I was listening to it first.

“After researching, we found that no one in our class was above the Earl’s level! So, with the help of Earl Ian-san, I’m going to kill some of the flags―― Eheuk!!”

It was also not worth listening to, so when he squeezed Hori’s head, Hori covered her head and moaned.

“If you have time to do such useless things, do your research. It seems that the repair of the workshop will be finished soon.”

“Already?! It’s only been a week since I visited that day… .”

“It is said that it was several hundred years ago, but it is a mansion built by those people, so you know better. In the first place, the workshop wasn’t that serious… .”

The worker said that the work was delayed, so it took two weeks. The condition of the workshop is so well preserved that it will be finished in a week.

“Anyway, around the next day or so, the workshop will be repaired and the experimental equipment will come.”

“downpour!!! I said the day after tomorrow!! Then I will come to you without delay! No, I’ll just stay in the mansion from now on and wait for you!!”

Saying that, Hori’s eyes were shining like a child with a large gift box in front of her.

It doesn’t really matter, but this guy doesn’t want to live in my mansion like this, right?

Leaving behind the students of the crossroads, Hori and I went to the building dedicated to S class students.

Unlike when he had come before, he was so happy to be able to enter this place proudly.

“Then the knight department is over there, so I’ll go first.”

“yes! If you are bullied in class, I will go straight to the knights department and tell you!!”

“… As I said in advance, I hope you will relieve the resentment you have suffered so far, and do not go around arguing.”

“uh?! No?!!”

“Since it’s an alchemy department, aren’t most of the students’ parents there alchemists? I don’t know if it’s a famous swordsman, but I don’t want to be associated with such people.”

I was not satisfied at all unless it was at least a Jessica Papa-class swordsman, perhaps because I had raised my eyes while dealing with many powerful enemies.

“If you want to cause an argument, at least only bet on the swordsman or the child of a wizard who has reached the 7th rank or higher. That’s because it tastes like cutting.”

“… … Isn’t it usually the other way around? It’s annoying to have someone like that, so you shouldn’t argue… .”

“What nonsense? If you are a guy who can easily step on even if you have an argument, why waste your time?”

Perhaps because he only studied, Hori sometimes said absurd things that he couldn’t understand.

“Anyway, I’ll do my best and I’ll go for it.”

“yes! I’ll go to the mansion after it’s over!”

When I left Hori behind and entered the knighthood class, Jessica, who came first, was sitting at a desk reading a small book the size of my palm.

“Hello, Jessica! From what you see here, Jessica doesn’t seem to change. Lane is gone?”

“It can’t be. Miss Lane just hasn’t come yet.”

“Didn’t anyone come up from Class A?”

“I do not know… . Seeing that the dean didn’t say anything, it seems like he didn’t.”

Originally, Marina was not the homeroom teacher in our class, but it was not easy to find a teacher who could replace Peter, so she served as the dean and acting homeroom teacher in our class.

“When I think about it again, the dean must have suffered a lot… . It would be nice if the royal palace could send one or two suitable swordsman.”

“Even if it’s a royal palace, there’s no way there’s going to be a lot of high-quality manpower equal to each swordsman! It’s all because you kicked out Mr. Peter!!”

“It wasn’t my fault, the problem was with that guy who escaped because he lost to a student.”

Is it reasonable to say that an elderly nobleman heard a shout from a student and ran away with a letter from that day?

He wasn’t even a novice in society, and the more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it was.

“ha… . Seeing you makes me worry about what the academy will be like in the future.”

“How are you? So instead of not having Peter, I take responsibility and teach him.”

Even though she couldn’t teach me how to handle a hammer, Jessica’s skills improved remarkably thanks to my thorough training of the basics.

“Coming out, how was your record with Lane during the exam? One 5:5?”

“It’s not like that… About 7:3… .”

“7:3? That’s fine.”

Of course, it fell short of expectations, but around 7:3, with just a few more months of hard work, the gap with Lane could be narrowed a bit.

“Even the less distant one is the daughter of a swordsman. Don’t worry too much.”

“More, less distant… !! Are you crazy?! What if Miss Lane suddenly comes to visit… .”

“yes? Have you already said it before yourself?”

Hearing those words, Jessica rubbed her head with one hand, as if her head hurt like Marina, who suffered from a hangover the other day.

“Maybe it’s because it’s true, it ended up just staring at you, so you don’t have to worry about it too much.”

“It ended like that, because Miss Lane is generous. Can’t you develop sociability even by half of that swordsmanship skill?”

“There’s no use in cultivating things like sociability. If something goes wrong, it can be solved somehow.”

Not everything in the world could be solved with Baldo, but most things in the world could be solved with Baldo.

Saying that, Jessica let out a deep sigh as she showed the girl on her waist.

“I don’t know about other people, but in your case, it makes more sense because it works to some extent. However, that method will never work, so why not learn a little bit of sociability at the upcoming ball?”

“ball? These days, nobles make friends at fighting competitions, don’t they?”

“It’s not a dance competition, it’s a ball!! Are you deliberately wrong now?”

“Don’t be too hot as a joke. If you’re talking about a prom, you’re talking about the upcoming summer ball, right?”

I am not going to participate in the ball because there is a rule not to bring weapons.

Even in the shower, the precious katanas that did not fall off the body were barely able to be removed from the body for dancing.

“I am sorry, but I am not going to attend. I don’t even know how to dance in the first place… .”

“You can’t dance? So what have you been doing in the meantime? Since the semi-baron is also a noble, there must have been many occasions to go to such a position.”

As Jessica said, she is also busy with her feet, but there were times when my mother urged me to go to such a place even for the future.

But every time I did that, I vehemently refused and jumped out of the window, head first, and immediately said it was okay not to go.

“… You’ve been crazy since childhood. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for Mrs. Tou.”

“Anyway, I don’t know how to dance, so I’m not going to attend the ball.”

“… … So, if I teach you to dance, would you like to attend?”

When she looked up at the remarks that were suspicious of her ears, Jessica was shaking her hands, avoiding her gaze as if she was ashamed of what she said.

“what? Jessica, do you want to go to the prom with me like that?”

“It can’t be! I’ve only received it so far, so I just wanted to give it back even a little bit!! So what do you do? I’ll teach you how to dance, so are you going to the prom?! Aren’t you going?!”

“I’m not going.”

I don’t like going out to a place like that before dancing and joking around.

When I conveyed this to Jessica, for some reason, Jessica became very angry and turned her head quickly.

‘… I’m not going to the ball, though.’
