The Academy’s Savage Swordsman - The Academy’s Savage Swordsman chapter 46

46. outdoor practice

Izuna Hela was born with a different outlook than normal people. Her eyes could see the essence of others.

The essence of a person’s identity, ego, karma, etc. What the ancient Greek philosophers called Ideas.

Thus, she has lived with people shrinking from her childhood. Because in her eyes, everything in the world was too dangerous for her young girl to handle alone.

Even after she got used to the sensation to some extent, there are often beings that are still terrifying just to look at. Masters who reached a certain level, serial killers who slaughtered countless people, and veteran knights who survived on the battlefield for a long time.

Those who lived by killing others, the bust itself was too terrible.

Yes, like Kyle in front of me.

‘… … How could someone like that be in the academy?’

Izuna trembled as she looked at the shape she could see beyond Kyle. Her eyes, which had been able to explain the shape in words for decades, began to reveal information about Kyle in front of her eyes.

Here is some information about Kyle Meyer. Aura Master, Swordsman, Courageous Knight, Hero.

However, another shadow overlapping inside him sent the completely opposite information to him.

A human slayer, a warmonger, a sword demon, a psychopath, and a demon without blood or tears.

‘I’ve never seen anything like that.’

Izuna trembled at the sight of Kyle wearing several titles alone that would make him a terrible killer who would go down in history even if he only had one.

The thought that even meeting her eyes would kill her flooded her. Most of her predictions of being able to see the essence were correct, so the delusion that Kyle would kill her would also become a reality.

Jeopardy, the sound of footsteps is approaching. The fear-infected body is overly sensitive, and it feels Kyle’s footsteps like thunder.

“Kyaaah-!”

At the same time as she screamed, light footsteps could be heard from all directions. The maids who jumped in from afar embraced her and began to carefully lift her up.

Only after escaping from the spot in the arms of the maids did Izuna pass out in relief.

‘… … That year is like that again.’

Seeing Izuna screaming and disappearing in the distance, Kyle smiled wryly as if it was absurd. It was like that the last time we met at the party, but could you imagine screaming like that and passing out in your own mansion?

A maid from the mansion approached Kyle, who was laughing so hard.

“sorry. customer. The lady often has seizures… … .”

“Can’t we see each other?”

“sorry. That way… … .”

“Well, you can’t be alone with a girl who hasn’t been married.”

Kyle scratched the back of his head and nodded to the maid. In fact, it was fortunate that he was not suspected of doing something to Izuna.

If Izuna hadn’t fainted like this often, she would have been questioned by the maid by now, and if she did something wrong, she would have been falsely accused of harming the princess.

Although he was the heir to Count Mayer’s family, who was called the Imperial Sword, the other party was a duke. An existence worthy of being called the Imperial Sword.

“Tell the princess to take care of herself.”

“All right.”

After saying that, Kyle left the mansion. It was regrettable that I didn’t ask Izuna about her status window, but the purpose of meeting her was accomplished.

Having achieved his goal, Kyle headed to his mansion, thinking that he would sleep in the mansion while he had already left. Shortly thereafter, Yuri, who came to the mansion, asked why he had stopped by Princess Hela’s mansion alone.

“Kyle Meyer. What a wonderful thing.”

“ha ha ha.”

Wolfgang, professor of understanding strategy and tactics, said that and began to smile at Kyle in front of him.

Kyle smiled shyly, then shut his mouth tight when he realized that the smile had all but disappeared from his lips.

“I must have explained it several times, but you shouldn’t move like that here.”

“But… … I thought it would.”

“Strategy is not based on intuition! There is such a thing as a rule that is set according to the time!”

There are cases where generals with excellent mercenary skills and tactics often turn the tide of battle, but that was only when the skills and power of the allies and enemies were not the same.

Assuming that the strength of the two armies is exactly the same, the strategy works according to a certain formula. A small army must be defeated by a larger army, and to attack a castle, you need three times the siege force as the defending force.

Seeing Kyle’s behavior that seemed to go beyond this formula in his first class, Wolfgang thought he was an outstanding tactical genius.

Genius was right. It’s just that he wasn’t the kind of genius he thought he was.

“If you think that every soldier can act like you, you are mistaken! Miscalculation! If you do that, all the soldiers will die!”

“Isn’t it okay if I just move alone?”

“What are you doing, Master? No, even an Auror Master isn’t enough. Like the legendary grandmaster, does it cut mountains and split seas with a single swing of the sword?”

“It’s not like that, but… … .”

“Then please move as you have learned!”

As a knight, that is to say, as a single entity, Kyle is a combat unit with outstanding performance. Even Wolfgang, who does not know that he is the Master, sees it.

However, if you go to the war unit, a talent like Kyle would end up being eaten up by troops and strategic tactics.

I don’t know what he will become in the future, but since he’s a knight, he’s most likely to become a knight——so there will be a time when he has to lead his vassals and fight against knights from other territories.

Even at that time, if I moved based on myself like that, countless soldiers would have no choice but to die.

“If you keep doing this, I have no choice but to give you a failing grade!”

“Ah, that’s a bit… … .”

“If you don’t want to take supplementary classes, take care of yourself!”

“I will try harder next time.”

Kyle said and went back to his seat. He mumbled on the inside, but kept his mouth shut because he knew that there was nothing wrong with Wolfgang’s words and that he was only saying it for himself.

Actually, nothing was wrong. When you live as an academy cadet, you won’t have much use for mercenary skills or strategic tactics, but… … What if all of this is over and you return to the estate and become a knight? Then strategy tactics will be needed.

Right now, I just don’t do it because it’s easier and more efficient to remove it with my body. Even when I’m old, I can’t move myself.

‘If I’m not careful, I could be cursed like Sir Gawain.’

Kyle, who was concentrating on the class with that thought, found himself banging his head on his desk after about 3 minutes and 54 seconds.

“ah.”

After pulling himself in like a black hole, Kyle, who was looking down at the desk where the manipulation of time was finished, saw Arthur staring at him and got up slowly.

Classes were all over and lunch time came. I should have been eating at the restaurant right away, but for some reason Arthur didn’t wake me up.

“What, why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I want you to sleep so well. I took a look.”

“What would I do when I saw the sleeping face of the husband… … .”

After sighing, I went to the restaurant with her.

Eating his usual set meal, Kyle began to feel bored with this familiar school life.

Whenever I feel like this, something always happens.

“Who knows what the role of a knight is. Please explain.”

“—Yes, a knight is a superman who has surpassed a soldier… … Troop management, neutralization of enemy commanders, suppression of enemy commanders, extermination of monsters, etc… … .”

A knight is a superman.

All of them are powerful beings that ordinary soldiers cannot imitate, so there are some special missions that only knights can take on.

Among them, monster hunting is a mission that more mercenaries and adventurers greet than knights. This is because knights learn how to deal with people, not how to fight monsters.

“It was like that in the old days. Not today.”

However, as times change and peaceful times come… … The knights dealing with people became less and less.

These days, articles don’t deal with people. I play more monster opponents than people. Although Kyle, who has dealt with people more than monsters, could not sympathize with him at all.

The era has become such an era, so the academy has also changed its educational curriculum accordingly.

“For a week from tomorrow, you guys leave the academy to hunt monsters.”

“… … Which monster are you hunting?”

“It will depend on where you guys are going, but mainly—”

Saying so, Gawain began to explain the monsters the cadets would encounter. Most of them were monsters that the Auror user level could defeat without any problems.

However, when Kyle heard the story, he tilted his head as if it were strange. This is because the monster Gawain explained was a monster that would not even be seen, let alone seen, if hundreds of cadets flocked to it at the same time.

As if Kyle wasn’t the only one with that question, a cadet asked the exact same question as Kyle thought. Hearing the question, Gawain began to laugh.

“That’s a good question. Practice this time—our instructors, professors, do not manage you guys.”

“… … what is that?”

“You guys have to hunt monsters with your seniors who will be your mates.”

Upon hearing this, the cadets started whispering.

Are the cadets going to hunt monsters together?

However, when Kyle heard this, he had a hunch that he was about to meet someone he was familiar with.

* * *

“Um… … Kyle Meyer?”

“It’s been a while, senior.”

“Ahahahaha, that’s right… … .”

That hunch was right.

on the day of practice.

Ruby-senpai looked at me and smiled shyly.
