chapter 22
22 – Are you messing with my students?
“Where the hell have they all gone?”
One hour.
This is the time when Zeke left the classroom and wandered around the academy to find his friends who had run away.
“Why did I have to find them in the first place?”
The root cause of the friends running away is ultimately the teacher’s training. Any taste of that terrible training would make anyone want to run away.
All causes are teachers. Because of that teacher, he was a zeke who didn’t like the fact that he was suffering like this.
In the first place, he wasn’t in the position of class president, nor was he sitting because Zeke himself wanted it. Responsibility in the position that the teacher has arbitrarily chosen. There was no such thing as Zeke.
“Ehh. Should I just go back to class…… Uh?”
Zeke, who was walking back to the classroom, found something and stopped there.
“I found it.”
One of my friends who ran away. Gilbert’s figure caught Zeke’s eyes. Zeke, who found him, tried to run to where he was at any moment.
“…… But who are those guys?”
I didn’t mind the thought of finding Gilbert, but upon closer inspection, Gilbert was now surrounded by three students. Among them was a face that was familiar to Zeke.
While he was contemplating who he was, Gilbert’s cry helped Zeke to remember who he was.
“Fadler. I will no longer act according to your wishes.”
‘Fadler…… Surely he was Count Fidelio’s son?’
Fadler Chelsea.
He is the son of Count Fidelio Celici, and he knew him as a motive for entering the school together with Gilbert.
‘But what do you mean you won’t move as you please?’
Silk, who was curious about Gilbert’s words, decided not to go forward immediately and observe the conversation between the two.
“Your guy called me out of nowhere, so I said something, and he just called me out to say that?”
Fadler’s face was so distorted that anyone could recognize it. The angry Padler continued talking.
“In regards to livestock, are you even mistaken that just because you entered the academy, you are in the same position as me?”
Sieck, who listened to Padler’s words from beginning to end, couldn’t help but frown.
‘This is disgusting.’
From the moment you enter the academy, regardless of your status, it is the rule here that you must prove yourself only with your skills.
In such places, there were usually people who believed only in their status and treated commoners as livestock, and Padler was one of them.
They were the type of people Zeke didn’t like.
‘What. Isn’t that what I’m talking about?’
He himself has also threatened, not threatened, by mentioning his family name on the day his teacher first came.
Even if the acting was intentionally done to lower his rating, it is an unchanging fact that he threatened the teacher with the prestige of his family.
‘It’s embarrassing to think about it.’
He was Zeke, his face burning when he remembered what he had done. He also listened for a while to focus on their conversation again.
Gilbert opened his mouth and said.
“From the moment you entered the academy, you must know very well that status has no meaning. Padler.”
Fast deuk.
With the sound of grinding his teeth, the paddler opened his mouth, his face flushing.
“Do you think it is okay for someone like you to call me by my name?”
“There is nothing impossible.”
Now, beyond the redness of his face, he was a paddler whose whole body was shaking.
“Listen up Padler. It won’t happen that I deliberately lose to you from now on. If you happen to meet someone at Mars Arena this time, take on them with all your heart. I called you to tell you this.”
“You speak as if you have been looking after me all this time.”
“You’re not wrong.”
Chang!
As soon as Gilbert finished speaking, Fadler drew his own sword hanging from his waist and swung it as it was.
Chwaaagh!
A slash that flies without warning from close range. It was an unavoidable attack.
“…… Kut.”
Fortunately, Gilbert was not seriously injured. As if he had no intention of killing him, the blader’s sword ended up leaving a small scar on one side of Gilbert’s cheek.
“You’re babbling about your mouth being pierced.”
“Now I think I regret that my mouth is pierced, and I regret why I didn’t feel so relieved until now.”
“Then I will make you regret having that mouth pierced from now on. Tie it up.”
As the Fadler ran out of words, the Fadler’s thugs who came along with the Fadler grabbed both of Gilbert’s arms and prevented him from moving.
“You better not think that it will end well.”
Perhaps right after combat training, Fadler, who was still wearing the gauntlet, began to put magic into the gauntlet.
His bluish glowing magical power completely covered the gauntlet. Equipped with a gauntlet encased in his magical energy, the Podler swung his fist at Gilbert without hesitation.
Puck! Puck!
Every time Padler’s fist was thrown out. Blood flowed profusely. Those who were holding on to Gilbert’s arm also let go of Gilbert’s arm as if they were frightened by the splashing blood, but Gilbert did not move from the spot and received all of Fadler’s fists.
“Well, why aren’t you avoiding that guy?”
Zeke was surprised by the sight and tried to run out to stop the Padler.
“What are you doing?”
I stopped at the sudden voice. Zeke turned his gaze towards where the sound came from.
There, I saw Deruan, who found the rest of his friends except for Gilbert and dragged them to the crystal ball. Derian spoke again with cold eyes.
“Why no answer? What are you doing, he asked.”
Only then did the podler release the magic that was wrapped around his gauntlet and opened his mouth.
“There was only a brief quarrel. It’s not a big deal, so the teacher doesn’t have to worry about it.”
‘It’s not a big deal… ….’
To say it’s no big deal, Gilbert’s condition was not good. Thanks to being hit by the gauntlet wrapped in his magical power, he was in such a state that his body was not intact anywhere.
It wouldn’t be strange if he fainted right away, but Gilbert was conscious.
Deruan, who recognized Gilbert’s condition, opened his mouth again.
“You seem to have a lot of problems to me?”
“…… That.”
“If you admitted your mistake and apologized, I was going to let you go, but you guys can’t.”
Der An, with a darker face, activated his magic.
“Entangle.”
Tree trunks rose through the floor. In an instant, the stalks bound the limbs of the paddlers and their offspring.
The beggars tried their best to shake off the tree trunk, but their strength was not enough.
Unlike them, the Padler, who infused mana into his body, easily shook off the stems and escaped, but ended up being tied to the stems that were constantly being created.
He couldn’t believe that he was tied up, but apart from that, the fact that the person who did this was a professor at the academy confused Faddler.
“What are you doing? It is unacceptable for a teacher to use magic against a student.”
“Do you think it makes sense for three students to get together and beat one student to the point of death?”
“… ….”
Fadler did it out of anger, but it was definitely serious. This case was not something that could be easily overlooked, even if he was his own father.
“What. Do not worry. I’m going to treat today as if nothing happened.”
“What is that?”
“It will be a day where no one gets hurt and only the memories of being hurt remain.”
Der An raised his magical energy and wrapped it around his hand.
Zeke, who was hiding and watching the scene, broke out in cold sweat even though he wasn’t the victim.
‘I can’t get used to that fist any time I see it.’
“There will be no scars. Because i will make it Instead, it will be quite painful.”
After speaking, Der Ann activated his magic.
“Haste. Strength.”
The magic he always uses before he moves. Arriving in front of the Padler gang, who were bound in an instant, the teacher swung his fist wrapped in his magical power.
Puck!
Derian’s fist, which flew at a fairly high speed, hit Fadler’s face with precision.
Is it because of the power control? Fadler did not faint but shouted in an angry voice.
“Keuugh. Do you think you’ll be okay with doing this? I am Padler Celici, the son of Fidelio Celici.”
“Compared to the academy run by Atalanta, the greatest wizard on the continent, and the Count of the Empire, who is more frightening? I am a teacher who only works for students. If there is something wrong, I have to fix it.”
What started after that was a one-sided assault.
“Quaaagh!”
“Sa, save me!”
“I-I just did as I was told.”
“That’s worse. You better fit.”
Derian’s violence fortunately ended before others found them. What happened that day has become a nightmare-like day that only the people involved remember.
