The Academy’s Savage Swordsman - The Academy’s Savage Swordsman chapter 44
44. my aria (3)
Seeing the principal and Gawain being manipulated, I immediately drew my aura blade and charged. When each one of them is alone, they are not so scary enemies.
One was a retired knight who was unable to fight due to an injury sustained during the war, and the other was a mage who was old and unable to fight properly due to his sluggish reactions.
However, if you have to deal with both at the same time, the story changes 180 degrees. Sir Gawain is a legendary knight who once dominated the era, and the principal is a magic master who has learned magic for decades.
“Huh-!”
“Kyle-!”
Aura Blade and Aura Blade collide. Even the kinetic energy that touches the black blade of light that cuts off everything it touches.
Thus, even a senile knight can take a heavy blow without any problems, and the simple power gap is of no help in a fight between masters.
“[Stop]”
When facing swords with Gawain, an intense magical energy squeezes the whole body. In this fight where the body stops for an instant, and blades come and go every moment, that slight pause leads to fatal injury.
At this time, the way to get less injured was to run towards the blade in reverse. I immediately rushed into Sir Gawain’s chest, gave up my shoulder, and crashed into his stomach.
Aura Masters can emit auras from their bodies, but the strength is not as strong as those of Aura Blades. It meant that the fist filled with the aura was enough to shock Sir Gawain.
“Kuh-! This damn kid… !”
Gawain, who had been hit in the stomach, groaned in pain and swung his fist at me. I know. The fact that if you fight him in close combat, you will always be pushed back from the level of martial arts you have built up.
So, instead of fist bumping into him, I slipped straight through his crotch.
The moment I slide on the floor and move behind him, I fly straight towards the principal.
“Come on, go to sleep!”
The bewildered headmaster instantly uses some magic, but magic that is effective for an Aura Master takes that much time.
The aura blade cut off the principal’s magic, and the magic that had been cut off from its source returned to nature.
After knocking out the headmaster, who had become so defenseless, he looked back at Sir Gawain.
“… … ?”
Oddly enough, Gawain, who should have jumped right in, didn’t jump at me. It was a pretty big gap even when I thought about it just now—— Feeling something strange and looking at him, Gawain let out a deep sigh and started talking.
“Son. We are not being manipulated by this guy.”
“Then why did you block it?”
“Because if you attack him, all the cadets under his control will die.”
“Yes? what else is that… … .”
I looked at Arya in disbelief. Arya, watching our fight, stared at me with her mouth wide open in amazement.
“Kyle… … you.”
“what?”
“Were you a master?”

Now that most of the people around me knew that I was a Master, the reaction to realizing that I was a Master was quite refreshing.
I came belatedly to retrieve the blade and lead the sword. It was because there was no need to fight unless the two were being manipulated.
“… … Ah, the headmaster.”
Turning my head around, I put the headmaster’s jaw together again and carefully laid him down on the desk. You are old, but I thought it would be a big deal.
Gawain also rushed in belatedly to check on the principal’s condition, and let out a sigh of relief.
“This is fine.”
“really?”
“If I don’t like it, will I do more than wear dentures for the rest of my life?”
“Isn’t that a big deal?”
“So, who told you to start with a fist fight?”
Hearing his words, I scratched my cheek in embarrassment. It wasn’t wrong, but it was the most reasonable choice in that situation.
‘For some reason I couldn’t fight.’
If it had been a fight to kill each other, it wouldn’t have ended so blandly. The other side had no intention of hurting this side at all, and I only wanted to knock them out, so it must have ended so quickly.
Whoa- I let out a sigh and got up as it was and went towards Arya. She was still looking at me with a grin.
“aria.”
“Why?”
“Unleash your powers, surrender.”
“What if you don’t like it?”
“I could die.”
“try.”
Aria said that and smiled. He seemed to believe the cadets Gawain had said about holding them hostage.
But I knew that her behavior was a bluff. Gawain or the principal, who had no detailed information about her, might have believed her, but I didn’t.
‘If I had such an ability, Sera would have told me.’
The information Sarah has is accurate. This is because the variables that came into being as reality only changed the ‘future’ she knew, but the information she had did not change.

Not only that, but being friendly with Arya, I was able to find out if she was lying or not. She was lying now.
This is because she tended to smile confidently and conversely when she lied.
“If you touch me, the cadets— Eup!?”
I know what she’s saying is a bluff.
That’s why he was able to defeat her with a whip, but if he did, he would be interrupted by Gawain, who was glaring at him fiercely from behind.
I needed a way to not get in the way of Gawain. Just in time, I knew how to do that, so I immediately started forcibly coveting Aria’s lips.
Lips collided with each other, and the aura that came out of her mouth penetrated into Arya’s body. Just yesterday, at the party where the club heads gathered, he felt like cutting off the unknown line he felt with Princess Hela.
The lines in her head are forcibly cut off.
“Eup, up!?”
Aura wandering around in her head and severing the wires connected to her must have had a shock similar to bursting a blood vessel in the brain, and soon Arya started bleeding from her nose and rolling her eyes.
Even so, I didn’t miss it until the end, and after cutting all the wires connected to her – I let her go slowly.
Looking down at her slumped on the table, I asked, facing Gawain, who was staring blankly at me.
“What, is this your first time kissing?”
“no… what are you doing all of a sudden… … .”
Realizing that Arya had collapsed belatedly, Gawain suddenly ran to the window to check what had happened to the cadets outside.
The cadets, who had been freed from Arya’s control, stood there blankly, as if they didn’t know what they had done, looking around blankly.
Only then did Gawain let out a sigh of relief and gazed at the fainting Arya.
* * *
After Arya collapsed, the principal woke up late and disappeared with her. The headmaster, who imprisoned her in the academy’s secret prison, immediately began to take care of the situation.
Thankfully, no one died in this incident. There were a few people who were injured, but there were dozens or even hundreds of clerical students dispatched from the Holy Kingdom in the academy.
After healing all the injuries with their powers, Kyle was able to understand the fear of the principal.
[La, lalala-]
“… … I thought it was a crazy idea.”
“—If you can avoid taking any responsibility, that’s because the number is the best.”
Aria, brainwashed by the principal, sings. Her song travels throughout the academy via magic speakers.
Everyone who remained at the academy listened to her song to ask about the rampage at the academy, and everyone who was dominated by hearing the song lost their memory of what had happened today.
They only remember that the academy’s cultural festival was the best today, but they won’t be able to recall in detail what happened today.
Kyle saw the headmaster casually manipulating people’s memories and making the incident itself a non-event, and realized what the hell an old man could do when he became more fearful.
“End with this. If we just keep our mouths shut, what happened today will be the perfect crime.”
“principal. is it a crime? What do you mean by that?”
“Hmmm, you made a mistake. It was a good cultural festival this year too.”
The principal said that and immediately disappeared as if Arya had more to do. I wondered what Arya’s future would hold, but it wouldn’t be a very good one.
How many nobles she touched, how many people almost died because of her.
From the principal’s point of view, she was an irritating landmine that could have been completely removed.
‘I can’t see it from now on.’
It left a lot of regret, but Kyle couldn’t tell him to release a bomb like Aria. If Arya had been his fiancée, the story would have been different—but Arya was clearly dating him.
The day after the end of the Academy Culture Festival.
Kyle smiled at Aria who came to see him.
“Hello, Kyle.”
“What are you?”
“Ahahahaha, that’s how it happened.”
Aria showed off the black choker wrapped around her neck and started to laugh awkwardly. Beyond the chalk, a tattoo was drawn on the nape of her neck, and Kyle sensed the magical power emanating from the tattoo and realized that it was a kind of curse.
She rummaged through her pocket and took out a small remote control from inside.
“Now, this.”
“… … What else is this?”
“The principal will give it to you.”
Handing over the remote control, Arya told me about the remote control’s identity.
“If you press it, it’s giving me pain here in this spell.”
“what?”
“They say you could die. I mean, that slave necklace? Same thing.”
Handing over the device that controls her leash, Arya smiled brightly.
“Now Kyle is my master.”
Hearing this, Kyle hardened his expression.
It was because he realized that the headmaster had beaten him.
A very large mine, too.
