chapter 21
Chapter 6 Golems (2)
The reason why I have the third since there were only two daggers.
That’s because the second dagger, Atjie, was a fake that was made of ‘weaving’.
Weapons made of weaving do not interfere with reality.
In other words, I can hold both woven and real weapons in one hand. Because woven weapons pass through objects.
It was the dagger I woven that Atjie dropped with ‘Nakjang’.
At the moment of contact, my weave that appeared in reality was blown away by Atjie’s fall, but the real dagger still remained in my hand.
The dagger was thrown at Atjie’s head.
‘It was dangerous… … .’
I said calmly, but I was sweating profusely.
Atjie immediately threw the dagger the moment he took his stance, but it was almost later than Atjie.
To be honest, the diagonal cut at the end, I couldn’t see it at all.
“… … How did you do it?”
“What?”
I took off the shichimi. I couldn’t explain the weaving.
But Atjie, who had thought he would be offended, nodded as if he understood.
“but. With such a trump card, it must have been a challenge to me. It was too cumbersome to say that.”
Atjie said so and looked at me.
Rather, it seems that the eyes looking at me have become softer than before the fight.
… … Atzier de Roach.
More strict than others, strict with yourself.
“I lost, Frontier. Don’t teach me ‘combat art’.”
like this.
I have come up with a way to improve my fighting skills through numbers that are close to gambling.
… … would that be good?
* * *
The next day, as Edwin was walking through the grounds of Constell, he heard a faint gossip.
– That’s him, right?
-yes. I guess that’s right.
I’ve heard gossip from a while ago, but I didn’t know it was meant for me.
– You said that a freshman saved you from dying?
-okay. The second son of the Roach family.
“… … !”
Edwin turned his head in the direction of the sound. The gossiping students walked away pretending not to see them.
But even after that, the ridicule against him continued.
‘Mr. X.’
Edwin didn’t do anything more embarrassing than the other students. He was simply photographed.
Edwin, the son of a fallen nobleman, has no place on the side of the commoners or the nobility.
For the commoners who had animosity toward the aristocracy, he was the most gracious opponent.
‘… … Now, if you activate the golem here.’
what will happen
A masterpiece created by Mr. Vinkiss devoted to research.
Students who can respond properly will be counted.
It’s sure to be a bloody sea of blood.
The students who are nearby will not even be left with their original form, and even if they run away, they will follow behind them one by one,
“hey.”
“Ugh!”
Edwin was terribly surprised.
When he turned his head, Elin was looking at him.
“What are you doing standing still?”
“Oh, no.”
Edwin barely came to his senses at Elin’s voice.
‘What are you thinking now?’
What a crazy idea.
Lately, it has become difficult to control anger.
Is it because he obtained a powerful weapon called a golem?
No, looking at the beginning, it was from when I met Frontier.
… … Do you suffer so much from your inferiority complex, Edwin?
“Are you on your way to dinner? Come with me.”
“Ah, yes.”
Edwin followed in Elin’s footsteps.
Although a commoner, the Evans family is famous for its younger brother, Aster. Behertio, an aristocrat, collapsed due to business failure and lack of talent.
As such, the relationship between Elin and Edwin is both close and distant.
The two have known each other since first grade.
Regardless of the existence of Elin’s younger brother, Aster, he is one of the few people with whom Edwin can open his heart.
“… … Ah, indeed.”
Elin’s eyes narrowed as she walked.
He heard gossips mocking Edwin.
“That’s why I was standing there before.”
“… … What is it?”
Edwin admitted frankly.
“Ignore it. Those who are less distant are doing their best with all their might. I need something to pour out my anger on.”
“I need it too. The object of wrath.”
“… … Edwin.”
Elin looked at Edwin. A subdued, even sober gaze shot at Edwin.
Clear warning eyes.
“Hey, the fallen nobles get well.”
There was a smirk in Edwin’s ear. It was very bad timing.
Edwin looked away with the emotion of anger. There was a familiar face.
Gary Clatt. He is the representative of the common people’s association.
“Gary. Don’t argue and go on your way.”
Elin stepped forward and spoke to Gary. If it were her, she would have left it alone.
Edwin should have taken care of the situation. But today Edwin is strange.
“… … Gary. Is it your fault that the kids gossip? What did you say to the commoners?”
“It’s a gathering of commoners. Call me ‘Actober’. And what’s wrong with me? it’s your thing what you did was pathetic That’s stupid.”
Gary continued to taunt Edwin.
But Edwin’s face of anger soon turned elsewhere. And closed my eyes.
Gary’s eyes widened at the sight.
That’s what Edwin always does when he gets angry.
Tug, Gary clicked his tongue.
That poor nobleman should know at least one patience.
“Gary.”
But today,
As of today, Edwin and Gary are in agreement.
“When do you want to die?”
* * *
a few days later.
Edwin arrived at the designated place at the designated time.
The golem was next to him. I don’t plan on using it, but I don’t know how it’s going to turn out.
And that prediction came true.
“Huh? look at this?”
Gary said in a sarcastic voice.
Gary wasn’t the only one at the meeting point. Five or six students—probably commoners—was waiting for him.
“Did you bring something unusual about the subject with you?”
“If you brought something strange, so are those around you.”
Edwin looked at the students around him and grinned.
Gary shrugged.
“These guys are spectators. Because it’s too boring for the two of us to fight alone. Shouldn’t someone take a look?”
Gary’s face was full of scorn.
When Edwin decided on a location, he wanted as little as possible no one to see.
So, I designated a certain vacant lot where no ordinary person would come.
That’s why Gary deliberately summoned onlookers. I don’t even think that I’m going to lose.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
I didn’t choose this place because I was afraid of defeat. I literally just wished there was no ‘seeing eye’.
Edwin pulled out his sword. Needless to say, it is a true sword.
Gary took out his sword as well.
“I will forgive you if you beg me to save you even now.”
“… … .”
Gary never killed anyone.
There is no such promise
However, swordsmanship is a method that can clearly reveal its highs and lows without killing anyone.
If you look at your hand once, you’ll know it.
Unfortunately, they both moved at the same time.
First, Gary’s sword drew a vertical line, and Edwin struck the blade at an angle. At the same time, the tip of the sword aimed at Gary’s neck.
“Ugh!”
Gary struggled to avoid it by leaning over.
Edwin’s moves were neat, as if he knew Gary’s first move.
I was actually predicting it. The more stable the number, the easier it is to read.
Gary says he’s used swords quite a bit, but he’s still not as good as Edwin, who received family class.
A few metal sounds and the sound of wind were heard, and it was Gary who was pushed again.
Edwin’s sword, driving the offensive, prevents Gary from making a counterattack.
The attack seemed to function as the best defense.
“Hey, damn it!”
Gary deflected his sword sharply.
Kaang! Edwin’s shoulders widened and his chest opened.
‘Gap!’
Gary’s thoughts were fleeting, and the sword he shot was faster than he.
‘now.’
However, the gaps created are not gaps.
Edwin read Gary’s impatient sword and opened his body deliberately. It rotated one lap while avoiding the stab by turning its back.
At the end of this turn is Gary’s neck. Of course, I plan to stop before that.
However,
“Wow!”
Gary’s stab was completely dodged, but Edwin was hit and lost his balance.
‘This is wind magic, ‘house wind’… … !’
There’s no way Gary could use magic while fighting.
Edwin looked around. Some of the students watching, reaching out to him and muttering something, can be seen.
‘under.’
I expected it, but I feel bad.
Edwin somehow regained his balance as he stepped back.
However, under the restraints of the students, he did not have the knack to stop Gary’s attack.
dump
In the end, Edwin collapsed, and a knife was placed around his neck.
“… … Mr. X.”
Gary spit swear words even though he won.
“Mr. X. With what guts did you come here alone? Was I really funny? This dog. ”
“… … You named the commoners’ association ‘Aktober’ by yourself, and claimed to be the president.”
Edwin looked at Gary.
Even though he won, he looked down at himself and saw the face of Gary, who had been punished with disgrace.
“I thought I had some self-esteem. You asshole.”
“… … You know how to be buried in Constell. As an assassin who fights and loses to commoners. It would be perfect for the Fallen Nobility.”
“Do your X.”
Edwin bowed his head.
My mouth was rough because my body wasn’t strong.
The same goes for that kid.
“Mr. X… … .”
Gary spit once more to see if his anger was still not resolved, and his gaze shifted to the sword Edwin was holding.
“hey. Leave that sword and go. Take it and sell it.”
“Do not touch the black.”
Edwin growled with stern eyes.
Are you right? Gary turned his gaze to the spectators watching.
“hey. Take that sword.”
Students around me slowly approached me.
Edwin tried to stand up, but was stopped again by Gary’s stinger at his neck.
“Be quiet. If you don’t want to follow.”
A smile appeared on Gary’s face as if he was feeling a little better then.
‘–Ah.’
It’s disgusting like vomiting.
what are you doing why am i doing this Do I need to stay still like this?
I tried my best to make a fair match. Even if that didn’t happen, he admitted defeat nonetheless.
But the sword was stolen?
One day, Behertio suddenly collapsed.
… … There was nothing he did wrong.
The opposition of the commoners due to the aristocratic power.
… … It had nothing to do with him.
– Search all over. Mr. X things.
When Edwin came up with the idea.
A groan came from above his head.
“… … uh?”
What caught Edwin’s sight was the golem’s cold arm, which he raised while holding Gary’s lower jaw.
Gary’s face was locked down like a crumpled piece of paper from the bottom of his chin.
‘Hey, the jawbone… … .’
Broken. One golem’s grip power.
“turn off… … Knock it off, cut it.”
No sound came out of Gary’s mouth.
Clinging helplessly in the golem’s grasp, tears flowed down.
“What, what is that!”
“Run away!”
As soon as the students saw the golem’s actions, they turned their backs and ran away.
Edwin stretched out his hand unconsciously.
‘No, go now.’
Heard about this golem.
Even Professor Vinkis.
I just thought so.
Golem put Gary down and leapt.
With that one time, he caught up with the students who were running away in an instant.
The sound of one-sided violence, puck, puck, puck.
After a while, all of the students in the room had collapsed, sat down, or were buried somewhere.
And the golem stood still as if nothing had happened. It was as if he was just carrying out an order.
‘Stand, please… … .’
It’s really dead, isn’t it?
Fortunately, the golem didn’t use a spear.
It could be a proof that he didn’t kill him, but Edwin didn’t have the confidence to confirm.
My hands trembled. The tremor soon took over his whole body. He tried to get his body up from a slumped position, but even that wasn’t easy.
The sky, no, the earth is dizzy. The front is just black as if each of them turns over once.
“Hey, Golem. come here.”
The golem stood right next to him.
First you have to hide it.
Even if the personnel here wake up and talk to someone else, their persuasiveness is diminished if there is no real golem.
In this case, it is fortunate that they are a group called ‘Aktober’. There’s a chance they’ll believe they’ve been scheming and spreading rumors.
If that happens, this case will fall into the category of ‘manslaughter’ at best.
… … It’s about when they’re all alive.
However, it is a different story when the golem is discovered.
He took the golem’s owner’s authority, argued with Gary, and used violence against the members of ‘Aktober’.
Judging by the circumstances, what he did was completely a planned crime.
‘Come on, Vinkis’s lab.’
How to get to the lab from here?
… … it’s not good
Since you have to go through some of the facilities that students love, there is a slim chance that no one will find out.
‘You have to hide until the night.’
somewhere other than here.
It doesn’t matter where you are, where these bastards won’t find themselves even if they wake up.
“… … let’s go.”
