Disciples Who Have Become Too Strong Are Chasing Me

chapter 17



17 – Can’t win

It wasn’t until the sun went down that Zeke came to his senses.

When Zeke opened his eyes, he couldn’t believe that he had lost.

It contains everything. He did his best But he couldn’t reach it.

That was the difference between Xenia and herself. Realizing the difference, Zeke did not want to accept that fact.

It wasn’t that Zeke was weak. If Zeke’s skills were good enough, he wasn’t good enough even if he entered the intermediate class, even if he entered the advanced class.

It’s just that Xenia was stronger.

Zeke couldn’t accept that fact.

‘Isn’t that too bad?’

To fight on an equal footing with Xenia. That was Zeke’s wish.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t even follow Xenia’s toes.

I always rolled on the ground without touching her hair.

Continuing defeat. Low self-esteem. At one point, he could see himself avoiding his sister.

When he realized that fact, Zeke thought. Rather than a weak guy like me becoming the family head. Wasn’t it for her family that she became the head of household?

Thinking that way made everything easier.

Even when he took the test, he didn’t do his best. He didn’t try She thought that in order to become the head of the household, she had to be inferior to herself, so she said.

And that thought was confirmed by the sword she showed me today.

It’s Barisada.

The symbol of the next family head was in her hand.

The moment I saw that, I felt relieved and regretful.

But it was only for a short time. After all, she was what she wanted.

Over the past month, Zeke has been able to feel himself growing and becoming stronger. And he thought

She accepted Xenia’s fight request, thinking that she could do it on her own, that her sword would reach her as well.

But he was defeated.

I didn’t even think I would win. I just wanted to see her surprised. But she blew her own sword far too lightly without a hint of her surprise.

That fact buried Zeke in an inferiority complex.

I tried so hard, I put everything in, but all I did was a scar on my cheek.

It was a time when such thoughts were eating away at Zeke’s mind.

From the mouth of a teacher who teaches us with crazy training methods, words that can only make you forget your inferiority complex, words that can’t help but come out came out.

“Therefore, one out of five of you has to finish in the top five at the Mars Arena somehow.”

After my explanation, the students’ reactions were all different.

She said that some students asked if they heard something wrong, some got angry, and some gave up.

Everyone expressed their feelings in various ways.

“Did you make such a ridiculous bet without consulting us?”

An angry student. It was Gilbert.

It was understandable that he was upset.

With his skills, he should be able to win one game. Even if it wasn’t for the condition I placed on the president, he could have avoided expulsion on his own.

But I didn’t want to be satisfied with that. I don’t want to miss a single student. That was my idea

“I thought it was possible, so it was a condition.”

After I finished, the sniffer said.

“What is possible! It looks like we’re all going to be expelled because of the teacher. Are you saying that now?”

Sniffer spat and said he couldn’t understand what I had done.

Sniffer wasn’t the only one who didn’t look at me well. Gazes mixed with anxiety and resentment were looking at me.

However, I did not make such a condition without thinking. Among the current students, Zeke and Gilbert can easily get into the top 5.

Of course, with the current skills, it’s impossible, but if you go through enough training for a month, getting into the top 5 won’t be a dream.

“Don’t assume that you guys won’t make it into the top 5. If it was a bet I couldn’t win, I wouldn’t have made it.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Follow me and I will make you stronger. And show it That you are not weak, you are no longer the weak you used to be.”

Silence ensued.

Zeke broke the silence.

“Teacher, no, if I follow you, can I beat you?”

In response to his question, I could say for sure.

“I can’t win.”

It’s good to be full of ambition, but it’s not good to be too ambitious.

●●●

For some reason, I managed to calm Zeke, who was rampaging along the road, and somehow convinced the students, I finished class with the words that I would start training again tomorrow, and moved to the teacher’s office.

It was to get the things needed for the upcoming training.

Arriving at the office, I found Archon.

Archon, with his shaggy moustache and straight back hair, sat sipping his coffee.

I approached him and opened his mouth.

“Sir Akon, sorry during tea time. I want to borrow a training magic cannon and a training doll. Do you know where to go?”

Arkon, who put the coffee he was drinking into the cup, looked at me and said.

“That’s what you can do by going to Ms. Charlie. But where are you going to use them?”

“I intend to use it for training.”

“I see.”

I didn’t have any more conversations to share, so I thanked Archon and went to where Mr. Charlie was.

When I went to where Mr. Charlie was, Mr. Charlie recognized me and greeted me first.

“Oh, Mr. Derian. What did you need?”

“I want to borrow 50 training dolls and 5 magic cannons. Is that possible?”

My words surprised her.

“Yes? Oh no, what are you going to use all those dolls for?”

It was not unreasonable to be surprised. As a student, it would not make sense for me to ask for so many training supplies with only five students.

“I’m going to use it for training.”

“Training?”

“Isn’t it okay?”

“Oh, it’s not impossible, but how are you going to move this much?”

“I will take care of that. So can you lend it to me?”

At my words, she pulled out one of her documents and handed it to me.

“Sign the papers here, go to the warehouse and tell me you can pick them up.”

“Thank you. Then I’m done.”

After signing the documents, I went straight to the warehouse. The knight guarding the place looked at the documents I had handed over to me after verifying several times that they were not forged documents.

Once I received the items, I moved them to the clearing by myself until late that night.

“After…… I’m going to die hard.”

After moving all my things, I looked around while wiping my sweat.

Magic cannons and dolls for training lined up in a row.

Those things were going to make the students stronger for the next month.

‘I’m starting to get tired, so I’m going to go in and go to sleep.’

I was tired of moving things by myself from afternoon until late at night. It was time to go back to the dorm and get some sleep.

Brush.

A crowd was heard in an empty lot where no one came. I turned my gaze towards the sound.

‘Zeek?’

The identity of the pretender was Zeke. The fact that he, a student, came out now meant that he had sneaked out, avoiding the supervision of the superintendent.

“What is going on here at this hour? I’ll pretend I didn’t see it, so go back to the dormitory right away.”

But despite my words, Zeke did not return.

“There is no going back.”

“Why?”

“Do you remember the question I asked you during the day?”

I remember. The question of whether he can beat Xenia. I was confident that I would answer the same question multiple times.

“No matter how many times I say it, my answer is the same. You cannot beat Xenia.”

“Does that mean I will only stomp under your feet all my life?”

I realized that Zeke was mistaken about something.

In the first place, when I said I couldn’t win, I meant after going through a month of training.

“You seem to be mistaken about something, what I’m saying is that you can’t beat Xenia in a month of training.”

At my words, Zeke opened his mouth like someone who had been hit by something.

“Well then?”

“It means that you can beat Xenia depending on what you do from now on. So let go of her delusion that you will catch up with her in that short time of a month.”

A period of one month.

In the meantime, it is close to impossible for Zeke to defeat Xenia.

However, I was able to make it possible by giving them a shot.

No, Zeke already knows the answer.

One shot containing everything. I knew how to make it more efficient and powerful.

“If you want to give your sister a shot, there is no way.”

Looks like you’re very curious about what I said.

“What is that?”

“One shot containing everything. What you showed me during the day is the correct answer.”

The one shot that threw everything away was enough.
