Chapter 32. I’ll go. Academy
Tail, who was honing his swordsmanship today, cut hard into the air with his wooden sword.
Shhhhh!
It made a sharp sound as the air was ripped apart.
“Heo Eok. Huh.”
Tail wiped the sweat from his chin with his hand.
Tayl, who was already 18 years old, had the appearance of an adult.
Looking at his manly, sleek jawline and well-composed features, he was on the pretty good side.
Tale adapted to life in the monastery day by day.
It has completely permeated into everyday life that revolves like a treadmill.
Whether you like it or not.
He just lived like that.
However, thanks to physical strength training and swordsmanship practice, his muscles were firmly established in his upper body after taking off his clothes.
“Whoa….”
Tails, whose breath reached under his chin, put down his wooden sword to rest.
“Tail.”
At that time, I heard a familiar yet clear voice next to me.
Dark chestnut short hair and big green eyes. Dark and smooth skin.
It was Eugene.
Now, Eugene, who has a bit of an adult appearance, has a feminine side that can be said to be really beautiful.
Of course, Eugene, a man, hated that word.
Eugene grumbled, handing him a dry towel.
“No. I told you to wear clothes when training. I have a cold.”
Saying that, Eugene’s face turned strangely red. Like shy.
Tayl smiled at Eugene’s words.
“Okay. It’s uncomfortable to wear.”
Tail’s voice, which had undergone a change of voice, was low and deep.
Yujin’s cheeks turned redder at the tickling of his voice.
In the end, Eugene was the loser.
Eugene said with a short sigh.
“Yes. How can I beat you?”
Then, as if something had come to mind, Eugene started talking.
“Oh no. Tail. The abbot is looking for you.”
“Abbot?”
Tail’s eyes narrowed.
From this morning?
‘I don’t feel good for some reason.’
Something ominous sensation ran through my body.
Because these ominous premonitions were always right.
‘Shouldn’t I just go?’
Eugene noticed Tail’s troubled condition and hurriedly said.
“Go quickly. Waiting for you I’ll clean up after you.”
At Eugene’s words, Tail nodded.
“Yes. Please.”
Tale immediately left the training room to find the abbot.
And Eugene, who was left alone, put the wooden sword that Tail was looking down on and was about to break.
“Fu. This son of a b*tch. What should I say if I take it off again?”
Muttering, Eugene picked up Tail’s top that was lying on the floor casually.
“But….”
Yujin continued with a voice mixed with a sigh.
“I’m glad you seem to have forgotten about it now.”
Eugene’s eyes were strangely covered with indescribable emotion.
* * *
Smart smart.
Tail knocked on the door and immediately heard a senile voice from inside.
“Come in.”
When I opened the door, I saw a simple room as usual.
Then an old man greeted Tail in front of a desk.
Now that I’m older, I’m angry.
He said narrowing his furrowed eyebrows.
“Tail. Sit down.”
At Noha’s words, Tail leaned on the sofa and sat down.
“Why did you call me?”
“Why did you call?”
Noha grumbled and poured tea into her white cup.
“You can just call it. It is rude to ask as soon as you come in.”
However, Tails did not fall for his words.
“Um…. Serving tea like this seems like a serious thing, right?”
“Kuhm.”
As Noha cleared his throat, Tails let out a big smile.
“That’s right. That’s right. What is it? So.”
Then Noha sighed deeply and answered.
“Listen to the tail.”
Noha’s expression became serious.
At the same time, the tail became tense.
“You….”
Noha’s mouth opened with difficulty.
“Are you thinking of going to the academy?”
Tail’s eyes widened.
* * *
Pharaon Academy.
A new academy recently established by the emperor of the Belenus Empire who won the war.
This is an educational institution created with the mindset of cultivating the best talent.
In the first year, various experiences such as swordsmanship, magic, spirits, administration, and divine power are given, and after that, the student goes to the most suitable department.
It was like a kind of university.
It is said that they can go on to higher education while looking at everyone equally, such as social status and age, because they have the heart to bring out the best talent.
‘Well, I don’t know if that’s real.’
Tale continued his thoughts while fiddling with the teacup.
This academy’s biggest feature and privilege.
That was the fact that anyone who graduated first could make a single wish to the emperor.
It could be money, or it could be a precious artifact that only the emperor has.
‘It could also be a title.’
Tail thought for a moment.
It was such a great opportunity, but at the same time, there was only one reason why he hesitated.
This is Pharaon Academy.
Because it was also the academy that was the background of the main story in the novel [Love to the Kind Princess].
Chloe.
Cecilia.
Maybe they are there.
Tale smiled.
5 Years.
5 Years was really long.
I forgot about them, I thought of them infinitely, and my heart was broken.
5 Years have already passed by the time all emotions have become dull little by little.
The more he did, the more he swung his sword to capture his heart.
Continued.
Every day.
‘Can I see them if I go to the mask?’
What do you think when you see me?
Did you tell me to float?
Forgotten emotions seemed to come up again.
Around that time, Noha opened her mouth again.
“I won’t tell you to go alone.”
“… Sure?”
He carefully put down the angry teacup and continued.
“I plan to send Eugene along too.”
“Eugene?”
“It is said that divine power has recently been manifested. It’s still weak, but it seems to be enough to go to the academy.”
An angry man smiled benevolently and said.
“If you go together, it will be good for you.”
“Once…. I’ll think about it.”
“Yes. You don’t have to decide right now.”
There was concern in Noha’s eyes.
“The letter requesting students to enter the academy came today, so think about it until tomorrow.”
At his words, Tail nodded her head.
* * *
After the conversation with Noha, he listened to King Wangjjang BAR for the first time in a while and was talking with Khan.
“So are you going?”
It was the first thing Khan said when he told me about the academy.
“What…. Well.”
Seeing that Tail’s reaction was less certain than he thought, Khan asked as if he was surprised.
“Why are you hesitating? Didn’t you say you wanted to get a title?”
The best way to earn a title.
Because that’s what I’m begging the emperor to be the top graduate of the academy.
However, the tail was not easy to decide.
“Getting a title isn’t everything…. Senior is not the name of a dog.”
Tale continued slowly.
“I’m just thinking about it.”
Honestly, the biggest reason is probably.
‘Because of Chloe and Cecilia.’
If you go there, you will definitely meet them.
Should I just look at the status of commoners and nobles?
I just couldn’t get a feel for it.
Khan let out a big smile as if he could guess what Tail looked like.
“Yes. Right.”
And then, Tail opened his mouth to Khan.
“If you go, it will be difficult to see in the future.”
I have been watching it once a month for more than 5 years.
That’s why Tail felt so friendly and comfortable even though I didn’t know Khan’s real face or voice.
“If you say you’re going, I’ll stop by one more time before I go.”
However, Khan answered firmly.
“All right. Sharpen your sword more during that time.”
As if comforted by Khan’s words, Tail burst into laughter.
“Okay. Let’s meet in real form next time.”
Khan could guess at the words that almost sounded like goodbye.
In the meantime, Tail has decided to go to the academy.
Khan let out a big laugh,
“Obviously said. Go ahead.”
With Khan’s last words, Tail took one look at his room and left.
Tak.
As soon as the door closed, the bolt slid open and Khan and Ennis came out.
“The Academy….”
Her dark eyes twinkled.
Looked really interesting.
It seemed like it would be okay if Tails went there, even among the crowds of insignificant people.
Having made up her mind, she immediately called someone.
“Zephyran.”
A man appeared out of thin air.
“Prepare your identity.”
The corner of Ennis’s mouth went up slightly.
He seemed happy, like a child getting a new toy.
“Go to Pharaon Academy.”
* * *
And after a while.
Tale arrived at the monastery and went straight to Noha.
Let’s open the door.
“Huh? Tail?”
There, I saw Eugene and Noha discussing an academy issue.
Noha laughed at the tail that came in.
I figured it out.
Tail’s mind and determination.
Eugene and Noha were both fixating their eyes on Tail, but at the same time, Tail opened his mouth.
“I will go.”
Yujin’s eyes widened slightly.
At the same time, Tail’s eyes shone seriously.
“Academy.”
