NOVEL NEXT chapter 32
32 – Academy Official Bullying
It was around 11 am when I woke up.
“Damn… I slept for a long time…”
I got out of bed clutching my slightly tingling head.
When I woke up, I felt as if the muscle pain that had been coming up all over my body the day before had subsided.
Last night, I left the room with my eyes swollen from crying unseemly.
“Are you awake, young master?”
When I came out of the living room, Rachel was cleaning the house.
Perhaps because of what happened last night, I was embarrassed to make eye contact with her, so I turned around and said,
“Shouldn’t have woken me up earlier… I could have helped you clean up…”
“Hehe~ This is what maids do~ It’s troublesome if you help me every time~”
Rachel smiles mischievously and moves the broom.
She pointed to the table and said.
“I prepared breakfast. It’s too late to call it breakfast, but…”
“Ah, yes… Thank you.”
I walked towards the lingering table.
Two slices of toast were placed on the table.
It was a menu that stood out with Rachel’s consideration, taking into account my preference for toast over sandwiches.
I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth.
-Crispy
The crispy texture of the bread that you can feel when you take a bite.
The thick butter scent lingers on the tip of the nose.
And crunchy vegetables stuffed between two slices of bread.
And the smoky fragrance of bacon that comes up in the middle of the day.
After all, Rachel’s cooking is the best…
Hungry after 13 hours of long sleep, I ate two pieces of toast as if I were hiding my crab eyes.
“Hehe… I’m glad you enjoyed it!”
Rachel, who came over to me after cleaning before I knew it, said that.
I nodded and gave a thumbs up.
“it was tasty.”
“Hmm~ These days, the young boy has a good reaction, so he likes to cook for you!”
Rachel smiled proudly and tidied up the plate I had finished eating.
“How’s your schedule today?”
Rachel looked back at me with that question.
I brushed my chin at the question and thought for a moment.
Due to the attack on the banquet hall, the academy was closed for a week.
There are no lectures to attend, and no main quests appear…
“I’m going to go train.”
“yes?”
Rachel’s eyes widened at my answer.
What is that, it’s cute like a hamster.
“No, you were discharged yesterday, aren’t you overdoing it?”
“It’s okay, I’m already healed.”
When I tapped my left arm that had been treated as if it were fine, Rachel puffed up her cheek and said,
“No matter how well you get! Does it make sense that someone who was discharged yesterday would go to training!?”
At the ballman’s voice of concern, I smiled and pulled her puffy cheeks.
“Bueeee…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll do it in moderation.”
“Fergie is going to miss me…”
I fiddled with Rachel’s grunting cheek a few more times before getting up from the table.
Rachel asked while holding her cheek that had stretched like Kirimochi.
“You want to go right away?”
“That’s right, it’s already past 11 o’clock now.”
“Umm… you have to do it in moderation!”
“Because I know…”
I entered the room to avoid the nagging Rachel.
Then he changed his clothes and inserted the sword of sorrow into his waist.
“Whoa… Shall we go…?”
For some reason, I felt light even when I went outside.
I always sighed thinking ‘What kind of sh*t will I get today…’
Feeling a little bit less of those feelings today?
Maybe it was the effect of Rachel’s patting yesterday.
Rachel’s hand must be weak.
If you get a stomach ache later, you should ask for it.
I went out to visit again with unkind thoughts.
.
.
.
Gymnasium at Reynolds Academy.
I was filming Musou in the middle of the magic dummy practice field.
Originally, it was a training ground made exclusively for a party of three.
‘Super sense’ and ‘Blink’,
In addition, I mixed it with ‘Mana Dispel’ and used it, so what happened.
-Suddenly!
When the last dummy was cut down, the training was over.
“Heh-uh… Heh-uh…”
Damn, trying to sweep a pile of 3 servings by myself was filthy hard.
I took a deep breath and looked at the small electronic display board where the score was being recorded.
[Number of piles processed: 2875]
2875 pieces…
I’m sure the score was a little over 1,000 the last time I tried it in single player mode…
Perhaps, since there is only one person, he must have sucked up all the scores by himself.
‘Except Alan, isn’t that the highest record in the academy?’
Alan is out of the question.
That child should not be treated as a human being.
If I use the hero’s power obtained from that tail or something, I’ll easily exceed 5000 points.
Damn Munchkin…
I grumbled inwardly and put the wooden sword back in place.
So when I come out of the gym,
ㅡ clap clap clap clap
I heard someone clapping.
“Whoah… 2875 points alone…? Crazy, just…”
I turned my head at the familiar voice somewhere, and there was a male student with a familiar face standing there.
Dye-like blonde hair, tanned skin, sloppy appearance, and white eyes that are somewhat foreign.
“Golden Sun…?”
It was the golden sun that I had been working so hard to do title work until last week.
He grinned at my call and flicked his hand.
“Yeah, it’s only been a week?”
It was a face I hadn’t seen in quite a while.
I haven’t been to see him since I won the title of ‘Mace Slayer’ last week.
-Titling!
[Title: Weapon Slayer]
Description: Gives you the upper hand in a fight against any opponent holding a weapon.
Effect: When the title is activated, all attack power cast against the opponent is increased by 20%.
I won the title of Synergy… and I didn’t have anything else to do.
Besides… I don’t want to be near you.
You look like you’re stealing someone else’s woman.
I squinted my eyes slightly as I watched him waving his hand at me.
“What are you doing here?”
“Wow… Until a week ago, even if I didn’t want to come, he came and gave me a f*cking kick, but now that we’re making eye contact, he frowns right away.”
“Kuhm…”
My conscience stung a little at those words, and I cleared my throat and said:
“That was a legitimate duel challenge.”
“Do you usually challenge a commoner without a saint to a duel of honor? Isn’t that what nobles do?”
“Uh, uh…”
“And then, even if I tried to refuse, you forced me to accept it…”
“……”
“Sir, we’ve decided to call it ‘harassment.’ That’s an imperial promise.”
At his well-reasoned refutation, I was at a loss for words and quickly turned the fire on.
“So, why did you call me?”
“Huh? Are you suddenly talking?”
“……”
Clever kid…
As I muttered to myself and glared at him, he shrugged and said,
“Well, it doesn’t seem like he’s coming anymore, so is that okay?”
“……okay…”
“I wondered what was wrong with the madman who had been visiting me all of a sudden.
I called because I saw you at the practice range.”
“Right.”
He smiled at my simple answer and sat down next to me on the bench.
“By the way, are you feeling better?”
“Well?”
As I was trying to get away from him who was sitting next to me, I tilted my head at his unexpected question.
“What do you mean?”
“Did you say you fought against the gangsters during the terrorist attack the day before yesterday?”
“How can I not…?”
“How do you know, there’s no one I don’t know at the academy right now.”
“Has the rumor already gone that far…”
I remembered the voices of the children whispering around me at a distance.
—-That bastard was then…
—-Really, how horribly he killed…
ㅡHe killed people with a real laugh…?
I frowned slightly.
I don’t think it was rumored to be good.
I slightly turned my head and asked the golden sun who was looking at me.
“Do you know how rumors spread?”
“Of course you know, how vicious the rumors were.”
“…Roughly, in what way?”
As if thinking for a moment about my question, Geumtaeyang brushed his lips.
“Ummm… There were also stories about burning people and cutting them apart, stories about slaughtering all 10 of the top 10 sword users… and stories about seeing some kind of devil…”
“……”
Rumors spread more than expected.
Of all the things Geum Taeyang said, except for the last one, everything was true…
While I was inwardly surprised, Golden Sun asked me.
“Is that real?”
“What do you mean?”
“That he burnt one of the assailants to pieces.”
“……If you knew, what would you do?”
When I gave him a quick glance, he smiled shyly.
“Looking at the reaction, it seems to be true…”
Golden Sun muttering quietly.
I looked at him with cold eyes.
Now that you know that statement is true, you will react.
feared, despised, or loathed.
Without knowing the details of the circumstances, he would roll his own thoughts.
I glared at him, waiting for his reaction.
However, the words that came out of his mouth were completely different from what I expected.
“Did something happen?”
“yes…?”
A reaction that was quite different from the one I was thinking of, as I was in a daze, he continued.
“Well, even though you’re a crazy bastard, you don’t look like someone who would do it for no reason.”
“……”
Looking at me who was speechless for a moment, Taeyang asked playfully in a joking tone.
“What, are you the enemy of your deceased parents?”
—-Awkwardly…
I shuddered slightly at his joke, which was horribly accurate.
Geumtaeyang, noticing my reaction, slightly opened his mouth.
“What is it… Really…?”
“……”
I didn’t answer, then quietly nodded.
At my nod, Geum Taeyang froze for a while, then slapped me on the back and shouted.
“Hey, f*ck! You did a great job!!”
“Oops.”
I frowned at his touch, which was hotter than I thought.
However, as if Taeyang didn’t care about that, he repeatedly patted my back.
“f*ck! If you’re a horo who messed with your parents, killing them like that isn’t enough! Hey, hey, you did a damn good job.”
“Ah, it hurts, you bastard…!”
—-Bah!
“Kuuu!
His hand stopped only after I put a fist in his stomach.
He vomited and shouted at me.
“Sibeol… why would you say that you did well…!”
“It wouldn’t have been right if I had just said it.”
I replied and rubbed my tingling back.
Raiden’s body, which has an average C+ stat, says it hurts when you hit it like that.
I groaned like that inside.
Taeyang Geum, who was holding the abdomen that had been hit by me, raised her head and smiled.
“By the way, am I right?”
“What?”
“I did it, I didn’t look like a guy who would do it for no reason.”
“……”
how not to
The other guys were busy talking nonstop.
As I looked at him in silence, he shrugged.
“Well, it’s kind of like a persimmon.”
ㅡand,
“Shouldn’t the academy’s official bullies trust each other?”
I tilted my head at those words.
outcast…?
Apart from Raiden, why is he…?
“Were you bullied too…?”
“What, didn’t you know?”
He looked at me as if he was surprised and said.
“You and I are one of the three official sophomore bullies.”
“is it…?”
Hearing it for the first time, I expressed my doubts.
“Even if I am, why are you…?”
To my question, Taeyang Geum answered with an awkward smile.
“As you can see… my appearance is a little… isn’t it?”
I nodded at those words.
Of course.
It’s a sample of a standard NTR character that is so suspicious.
“Maybe that’s why, strange rumors circulated among the kids…”
“What rumors?”
“Hmm… For example, rumors about stealing other people’s women? Rumors that there are more than 10 women he meets…?”
“Hmm……”
Geumtaeyang muttered with a bittersweet smile.
“Actually, I’m a virgin to my mother’s solo…”
“Hmm, that’s surprising.”
“Is that so?”
At my reaction, Taeyang giggled and laughed.
He got up from the bench he was sitting on and stretched out.
“Well, let’s get along well with the outcasts. The victims of the same rumor.”
With that said, he left the bench and walked towards the practice field.
I thought as I looked at his back as he trudged away.
Somehow… Even when I kept looking for the title,
He only said dislike or dislike with words, but it seemed like he was secretly waiting.
Was it like that
I nodded my head slightly in response to the question, and got up from the bench.
.
.

“I’m back-“
“Bocchan, Bocchan, Bocchan!!”
“Rachel?”
Upon returning to the dormitory after training,
Rachel was waiting for me from the front door.
She shouted, flapping her arms while holding something in her hand.
“Letter! A letter has arrived, young master!!”
“Hmm? What are you talking about?”
“Letter, invitation!!”
“Wait, wait. Calm down a little and tell me…”
I asked her again, calming the overexcited Rachel.
“So, what is it?”
“A letter has arrived…!”
Rachel said, holding something in her hand towards me.
It was a letter decorated with luxurious patterns.
“uh…?”
When I saw the pattern on the letter, I froze for a moment.
It’s strange… This pattern is definitely…
“Imperial family!! The imperial family sent an invitation to the young master…!!!”
With Rachel’s cry, I felt my head go numb.
