Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character

62. Grade Test (13)

“Don’t lie. On the first day of school, at the training grounds, wasn’t it the case that you would run away whenever you ran into me? I don’t understand why you would run away after saving me.”

“… … .”

Why is someone who knows that chasing after you?

I was at a loss as to what answer to give.

I was silent for a long time before I opened my mouth.

“… There are circumstances. I don’t want to stand out in the academy for no reason. I wasn’t trying to run away from you.”

“Was it like that…?”

Suddenly Aria bowed her head.

“…! What, what are you doing?”

As I hesitated in embarrassment, Aria continued speaking with her head down.

“I won’t ask you what the circumstances are, but I’ve always wanted to thank you.”

“… … .”

“If it weren’t for you, I might have suffered some kind of fate at the hands of the Griffin back then. No matter what the circumstances, you are my benefactor. If there’s anything you want, tell me. I want to listen.”

Tell me anything.

Rosaria’s compensation is also on hold for now… .

I wanted to say something quickly and get out of this situation, but nothing came to mind.

I am the son of a duke.

Aria is the daughter of a count.

Apart from the political element, there is virtually nothing to be gained materially.

… Wait, what about Yeongdeung?

The English term is a material element that is neither monetary nor political.

The Sylvester family is an honorable family of swords. They may have a large stockpile of effective swords that the Brace Dukes do not have.

I asked Aria cautiously.

“… Is there a Blue Dragon Corps?”

“Are you talking about the Blue Dragon Group? They exist, but….”

Aria raises her head and hesitates with a puzzled expression.

That’s right. The Blue Dragon Sect is the highest level of sect that only 5-star swordsmen need.

If the Danjeon below the 5-star level consumes it, they will not be able to absorb all of the internal ingredients of the Blue Dragon Dan, so it will only be as effective as a health tonic.

But that’s just a story about the classic route.

If you use a little trick, you can absorb almost all of the elements of the spirit sword even if it is a 5-star or lower danjeon. I knew how to do that.

“By any chance… have you achieved the level of 5 stars?”

As expected, she asks me.

“No, but I still need that English. Is that not possible?”

“That’s not it! I am the only daughter of the Sylvester family. It’s easy to come and go from the family’s precious vaults!”

“Really? Then I can just accept it and be done with it. That’s it. Now I don’t owe you any more debt.”

“Uh, uh…?”

I smiled at Aria and ran away from there.

“Hey, wait a minute…!”

But she stopped me by wrapping both of her arms around one of my arms.

“…why?”

“No… Is this really the end?”

“… … ?”

This sounds like someone trying to nag an ex-lover.

“If you pay the bribe, there is no debt. Right?”

“That’s true… but.”

She still has her arms crossed and her eyes look strangely expectant.

What do you want from me?

‘… … !’

At that moment, a thought occurred to me.

The fact that this guy is a swordsman pervert with a creepy obsession with swords.

If you think about it, it was the same with Griffin. He almost died while trying to spar with a demon twice as strong as himself, so I saved him.

Not only did I show off my Aura in the tournament, I also set a somewhat blundering record of a 29-second kill in the second test.

… Aria was targeting me as a sparring partner and prey.

I said, quickly releasing Aria’s two wrapped arms.

“I’m just not going to accept the offer. Okay, that’s all.”

“Okay, wait a minute!”

Aria hugs my back tightly this time.

My face was burning, and I shouted in surprise.

“What, what are you doing!”

“Your strength…! Can you please teach me some of it?”

“no!!”

“You haven’t even said yet how it will be passed down!”

“If it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work!!”

Absolutely not.

As far as I know, before the Ice Age, Prince Xi’an, a loser, was harassing Lucy, Ellis, and even Aria.

Hedi is keeping it close because the previous Ice Age Cyan was untouched by Hedi’s strong energy and it doesn’t seem to be related to Cain yet.

Aria, Lucy, and Ellis were different.

If I keep it too close, everyone, including Cain, will surely find out my identity.

“I said no!!”

“Why! Why!”

“Stop being so clingy and go away! There are strong people, even professors!”

“Aren’t they sword masters?! It would definitely be rude to ask them to spar with you without thinking!”

“So you really wanted to be my sparring partner?! And isn’t it rude of you to do this to me?!”

“I, I don’t know…!”

“This crazy woman!!”

It was while they were arguing like that.

“aria…?”

I heard someone’s voice.

It was Lucy Amelia.

She was slowly approaching us as we struggled.

“You’re Mr. Cian…? What are you two doing right now?”

“Oh! Lucy!”

Aria greets me warmly, still holding my back tightly in her hug.

“This is my friend from the swordsmanship club! Let him say hello!”

“Who is your friend!”

“Friend…?”

Lucy, who had come closer, spoke to Aria with a bewildered expression.

“Aria was also friends with Mr. Cian?”

“…! What, Lucy was friends with Cian too?”

It seemed like things were going strangely.

I was struggling to break free from Aria’s hug from behind, but I couldn’t get free at all because this guy was so strong.

Lucy, who seemed to have noticed that I wanted to get away, said as she grabbed Aria’s body.

“Aria, let’s talk about leaving Mr. Cian aside for a moment…! You don’t like him!”

“Poem, I don’t like it! If I separate from it, it will definitely run away again!”

“I don’t understand a single thing you’re talking about!”

Thanks to Lucy joining in, Aria, who was like a leech, fell off my back.

I feel sorry for Lucy, but as soon as I fell, I immediately performed the 36-strategy run and quickly got away from that place.

“No…! Stand right there!!”

I could hear Aria’s screaming voice from behind me, but I didn’t even look back and just kept running.

*

A few days after the second test and the strange incident.

It was night.

Cain was alone and encountered goblins in the forests far outside the academy.

“Keeeek, keeeeek.”

“Keeek-!”

“… … .”

Now that I had reached the 3rd star level, it was more efficient to gain experience in actual combat than to hone my swordsmanship in the training hall.

So Cain was secretly training alone while everyone was sleeping.

“Keeeek!”

A goblin wielding a wooden club charges at Cain.

Cain dodged the club with ease and sliced ​​the goblin’s neck.

-Crunch.

One of the goblins, still more excited than his comrade, chants a spell while holding a staff.

It was a low-level fire magic, Fireball. Before Cain could finish his spell, he quickly cut down the goblin and wiped the blood off his iron sword.

-Thud.

And Cain looks up to the sky and becomes lost in thought.

“… … .”

I remembered what happened last time.

‘Sir, get out of here! I don’t know what you heard, but it’s not all true and I have no obligation to tell you!’

A story about a group of thugs I heard while walking with Ellis.

He approached the group and asked if the story was true, but the leader of the group seemed to be trying to cover up what Cain had overheard.

“… Ugh.”

Apparently, they said that the Sian who defeated Ignis in 29 seconds during the second test was the same person as the b*stard Prince Sian.

The bully Confucius Shian who had persistently bullied him in the first semester of his freshman year and even continued to bully his friends whom he liked and trusted.

When Cain first heard about it, he couldn’t believe it. But the group of thugs seemed to be from the Duchy of Brace, not the Empire of Lyanna.

If so, their words would not have been chewed over in vain.

“Keeeek!”

“Keeeek! Kieeek!”

“Kyaaah!”

Before he can even rest, a group of goblins and a troll, a superior species of goblin, rush towards Cain.

Cain, who was so enraged, ran towards them alone.

He held an iron sword in his hand and swung it madly, silently expressing his emotions.

-Squeak, evil, wedge!

-Clang! Smack! Plop.

It didn’t even take 5 minutes.

Cain cut down, stabbed, and killed all the demons that were running towards him.

And he stood there dumbly over their corpses, not even wiping the blood that had splashed across his face, and then went back to his thoughts.

… the scoundrel Confucius Xian who had been harassing him.

When I heard that my Danjeon was broken, I thought that I would soon drop out and drop out, and I firmly believed that I would drop out again.

But he came back a completely changed person.

During the tournament, he showed off his aura, and during the second test, he showed off his unbelievable body speed. It was a movement that could not be done without using magic power.

Not only that, but now Aria has even become obsessed with him. I heard that Lucy also went to visit him in the hospital after the second test, worried about him after he was attacked by a strange man.

The b*stard Confucius Xian. Could this all be his scheme?

Could it be that the guy who had been persistently harassing him has come back stronger than him and is trying to take away all of his friends?

Cain’s body trembled because he was so angry.

“Why are you torturing me like this?”

Even his only wish, the dream of becoming a warrior, becomes blurred in his mind because of his strength.

The merchant family looked down on him, ignored him, and beat him whenever they remembered him, saying, “What kind of sword is that?”

Now they’re even trying to steal my friends away.

Cain’s feelings of inferiority, which had been quietly buried deep in a corner of his heart, began to stir because of his own helplessness.

There is no way that a guy from such a good family would have practiced hard like that.

If you eat some kind of herbal medicine that your family gave you and fix your Danjeon, your family will probably provide you with all kinds of support.

He must have achieved everything with just the talent and wealth in his blood.

With the strength he gained without any effort or hard experience, he is now trying to torment himself again.

… Cain’s head began to fill with all sorts of unfortunate imaginations.

“The world is… unfair. Why do only the upper class have such power…?”

Cain, with a hardened expression, spoke softly.

That was when.

In the forest where I thought I was alone, the sound of footsteps that seemed to be human could be heard.

Eventually, the sound of footsteps began to get closer and closer to Cain, and as soon as the owner appeared, he spoke to Cain.

“It’s an unfair world. I agree with that opinion.”

“Who, who are you!”

Cain, on guard, raised his sword and took a stance.

It was an unidentified man wearing a tattered robe turned inside out.
