The Academy’s Savage Swordsman - The Academy’s Savage Swordsman chapter 39
39. hipster
Fists flash, and corn embroiders the sky.
The arts and cadets who were beaten at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye just screamed and squeezed their mouths in pain.
“Turn it off—!!”
Seeing the guys with blood dripping from their mouths and tears running down their cheeks uncharacteristically for a man, I smiled lightly.
“do not worry. Because it’s free.”
“Kkeuheu-you, nyo-heo-! Do this and be safe!”
“Oh, you speak well. It seems that there is no problem even if a few teeth are missing.”
“Missing guy… … !”
Murdoch or something started to run away quickly, not even thinking about picking up his teeth. The other cadets who had been following him for no reason ran away like crazy.
I looked at the guys who didn’t even take their teeth, and I only tilted my head, wondering if it was a fantasy and I didn’t need it.
‘Oh, it’s saliva.’
I was careful not to touch it as much as possible, but I couldn’t help but saliva from hitting my mouth. The backs of their hands were smeared not only with saliva, but also with clots of blood from their beating.
I shook my hands in the air, but I couldn’t shake off the things that were already sticky. I frowned slightly and looked down at the back of my hand.
“here.”
“Ah, thank you.”
As I frowned, Arya, who was standing behind me, carefully held out her handkerchief. After wiping off the blood scab with her handkerchief, it became more manageable.
It’s still uncomfortable, though, so I’ll have to wipe it off as soon as I get to the dormitory.
“Those guys, what are they?”
“Same class cadets.”
“Can a cadet from the same department do that?”
“Isn’t it natural for nobles to despise commoners? Aren’t you in the knight department?”
“Not quite like this.”
A terrorist incident that happened to the academy not too long ago. Remembering that there were some cadets of the Knights Department who were commoners among them, I couldn’t confidently say that there was no such thing in the Knights Department.
It’s just that I don’t know because I’m an aristocrat, but it’s practically impossible that there’s no discrimination.
However, there was discrimination to the last level, and he did not intend to cause any harm just because he was a commoner.
‘If you do something like that, the instructor will punish you for not being a knight.’
Rather, in Dalian, just because you are a commoner doesn’t stop you from playing the game. It was a sin in itself for a knight to have no skills.
However, it was different from art.
“Shall we take a walk?”
“yes.”
Arya said that and started leading the way. While humming with her hands behind her back, she casually talked about the truth about the art department.
“Art and—just hearing the name, it seems like there are only people who are beautiful and artistic, but… … In fact, those guys who do art are the most eccentric guys.”
“is it?”
“You look at me right now, right? Where is the commoner who asks the aristocrat for a friend at the first meeting? Had he done that outside, he would have been beheaded right away. Ah, because I’m pretty, did I become a plaything?”
When she said that, she burst into laughter. Seeing that, I thought it would be a waste to behead her as she said.
What if a noble was given the right to her life and death? No, even if it wasn’t given, there was a high possibility of forcibly framing her and enslaving her.
“Anyway, most of the guys with eccentric personalities are like that… … Art costs a lot of money. So most of them are aristocrats. An aristocrat who likes to line up. Self-proclaimed blue-blooded beings.”
And she fell right among such aristocrats. The position of the academy was protecting her, but at the same time, the problem of being a commoner was strangling her.
Only then did I know why she had been flirting with me since our first meeting. Although he is a noble, he is kind to the common people. He must have tried to entrust his body to me, a very unbelievable being.
“aria.”
“Yes?”
“Do you like to sing?”
“I like it. If you hated singing, how would you survive in a place like this?”
“Good. I like your songs too.”
“—Uh, huh? … … Since when?”
“Since when you first heard about it?”
At my words, Arya started to twist her hair and start to feel embarrassed. Hey, it must be embarrassing to hear compliments right in front of your nose like this.
But I was sincere. Because her song was sweet enough. enough to want to hear it again and again.
“You like to sing. I’m glad.”
“Ugh, yeah. thanks.”
“—Your problem, I will solve it.”
“how? You’re an aristocrat, but the other guys are also aristocrats, so if you just clean up the fans today… … .”
“don’t worry. Because there are ways.”
We arrived in front of the dormitory. I let Arya into the dormitory and turned around. I have to go see a friend after a long time.
Sleeping Dragon in the Art Department.

Far away, Kyle is moving away. Aria, who was watching his back, cautiously headed for her dormitory.
In front of the door, used contraceptives and food waste were placed in front of her room. Not only pursued by aristocratic men, but also jealous of women, she was an enemy of art and public.
Arya sighed and went to her room after asking for a cleaner to clean it. Fortunately, I couldn’t get into the room, and the inside was clean.
‘I’m sick of it.’
I like to sing. That’s why I entered the academy. Because she had talent, and had enough skills to enter the academy.
However——the academy was a demonic realm that was more insidious and insidious than she had thought. Living as a commoner in a place where most of the cadets were aristocrats was as tough as a prostitute walking alone in the slums wearing expensive jewelry.
While most of the nobles despised and bullied her, there was only one noble who did not. Kyle Meyer. The only aristocrat who did not change her attitude even after learning that she was a commoner.
‘Kyle, Kyle… … .’
Recalling his name, she hugged the pillow and trembled as she remembered what had happened today.
The way he protected himself from unlucky nobles, the way he swung his fists without caring about getting his body and honor dirty.
How could a woman not be thrilled to see such a scene?
‘All nobles are trash, but you, Kyle, are an exception.’
Thinking so, she fell into bed, fantasizing about how she would solve it.
The next day, Kyle had a solution beyond what she had ever imagined.
“—Nice to meet you. I am Bellion Dairos.”
“uh… … Prince?”
“Isn’t everyone equal in the academy? Just call me Bellion.”
The third prince, Bellion Dyros, came to visit her.
Arya looked at Bellion with slightly trembling eyes, then nodded and straightened her expression.
“Did Kyle send you?”
“right. Kyle asked for it.”
“… … Good luck in the future, Bellion.”
“yes. Please take care of me, Aria.”
This situation where a commoner or something became friendly with the prince over words. Most of the nobles looked at Bellion as if they couldn’t understand, but they didn’t ask him directly.
In addition to that, the harassment towards Arya herself has also decreased. What if the prince cursed at the commoners walking around with him, or threw trash like usual and the prince got hit? It leads directly to insulting the imperial family.
I didn’t want to bully Arya to the point of taking such a risk. Naturally, the bullying towards Arya decreased.
Arya never thought that Kyle could really deal with bullying. Although he was an aristocrat, he was not a famous nobleman that everyone knew about, and he did not have strong political power.
‘As expected, Kyle… … .’
However, it seems that his judgment was wrong. Aria smiled and prepared for the upcoming cultural festival. Except for Bellion, I was still alone, and it was still the same as being bullied—but the fact that the bullying was gone was enough for me to relax mentally and physically.
After a certain amount of time passed, Bellion naturally moved away from Arya, as if he thought this was enough.
At the same time, as if the nobles had waited, they started harassing her again. Ambiguous, shady bullying to be openly disciplined.
“under.”
Then she realized Also, he wasn’t wrong in his opinion.
All nobles are trash. it deserves to die
That’s how the cultural festival begins.
* * *
After the exam was over, time really went by like crazy.
In the meantime, he sword-to-sword with his club members, went on a date with Yuri, explored the academy with Sera, and trained with Arthur.
It was hard to see Aria’s face due to preparations for the cultural festival. When I asked Bellion later, he said he had solved most of the problems she was experiencing, so it didn’t bother me too much.
‘It’s a big deal.’
A few days later, the cultural festival begins. I was troubled with a serious expression. Seeing me like that, Arthur began to tilt his head, asking what was going on.
“what’s the matter?”
“no… … Isn’t it the cultural festival soon?”
“right?”
“What if Aria sings too well?”
“… … What do you mean?”
“No, now you are a super genius singer that only I know about, but if you become popular at cultural festivals, you will become a famous singer that everyone knows.”
Of course, I want many cadets to know that her singing is good, but at the same time, the greed that I only want to know is raising my head.
Hearing my concerns, Arthur let out a laugh and opened his mouth.
“Kyle, do you know what they say about people like you?”
“What do you say?”
“Hipster.”
“… … ah.”
