Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 55:

There is a monster at the academy.

After the exam, strange rumors began to circulate around the academy.

It was a rumor that a monster existed at the academy.

There were rumors going around that he had been hiding his skills and that a monster had finally revealed itself.

Although it was a somewhat bizarre rumor, it had enough credibility.

This is because there was a witness who claimed to have seen a monster.

In addition, the teachers and auditors who participated as examiners were quiet.

On the contrary, the cadets who did not believe that monsters existed were now treated as strange people.

Who the heck is this?

Who is the monster?

The cadets were busy inferring the existence of the monster.

Plus, the exam was over so I had plenty of time.

It became a kind of entertainment for them.

They thought the monster would reveal itself soon.

I thought that now that I was out of the exam, I would no longer have to hide myself.

Huh! Whoop!

The person involved doesn’t even care.

It was more beneficial to swing a sword than to pay attention to such rumors.

Anyway, once a rumor starts to inflate, it continues to inflate endlessly.

So, there is no need to worry and you can just watch the rumors being inflated.

Because I had nothing to lose.

“The principal is looking for you.”

But the principal doesn’t seem to think so.

I saw that they sent an administrative staff member to call me.

What I showed this time must have had such a big impact.

‘It was definitely a mistake to show sword skills.’

I was so intoxicated by the atmosphere at that time that I just finished it without stopping.

To be black at the age of 18.

That was something that not even the first Sword Master could do.

No, it was difficult to handle even an auror in the first place, but he used sword energy.

“I will come to you soon.”

“All right. “I’ll tell you that.”

The administrative staff bowed their heads and left the room.

There was something more important than visiting the principal.

“Lady Selina. “Are you leaving now?”

“yes. “The exams are over and the reason I wanted to come here is gone.”

Seeing Selina off.

The principal could meet at any time, but Selina couldn’t.

You should meet her whenever you can and show a good side to her.

‘Though he showed a bit of a bad side this time.’

Not only did he appear stained with troll blood, but he also lost consciousness.

I don’t think I did a particularly good job this time.

But the good news is that she doesn’t seem that upset.

As I was looking at her and thinking about it, she was silent for a while and then asked me a question.

“Next time… when can we meet?”

Next…

I’ll be graduating from the academy next year.

“Anytime Lady Selina wants.”

“…It’s good. “I won’t lose easily next time.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Such interest is always welcome.

Basically, kids become friends when they fight.

As I spent the remaining time sparring with her, I was confident that we had become quite close.

“then.”

She got into the carriage. A dozen knights surrounded it and the carriage began to move.

I watched the carriage disappear until the end and then turned around.

“Let’s go to the principal.”

“yes.”

I headed straight to the principal’s office.

Now that the Board of Audit and Inspection has returned, I plan to ask them what to do with the vice principal.

I thought they would entrust the Vice Principalship to the Board of Audit and Inspection, but I was a little surprised that they didn’t.

I asked Ellis before entering the principal’s office.

“Did your father say anything?”

“yes.”

“If anything comes up, let me know right away.”

“All right.”

The fact that I used an Auror was not yet known to Count Millennium.

If it had been known, they would have come to visit or sent some kind of communication.

But the fact that it’s so quiet probably means that we don’t know yet.

smart.

I knocked on the door of the principal’s office.

“This is Raymond.”

The principal inside told me to come in.

“Welcome. “Please sit here.”

The principal said, pointing to the sofa across from him.

As I sat there, the principal held up a kettle and asked.

“How can I have a cup of tea?”

“…Do you have any tea?”

I also wanted to give him that mint tea, so I asked for some decent tea.

“…there is.”

The principal seemed disappointed and brought tea, quenching his appetite.

The steaming tea had a nice scent.

A smell resembling cherry blossoms.

The black tea of this world is slightly different from the black tea I know.

yellow car.

Whoop.

As I picked it up and took a bite, my mouth was filled with the pleasant scent of flowers.

“Good.”

“Thank goodness.”

The principal looked at me intently while drinking Ratel tea.

Sip, sip, sip.

For a while, the sound of tea drinking filled the principal’s office.

The principal and I just drank tea without saying anything, like people gathered to drink tea.

As I was drinking my third cup of black tea, the principal opened his mouth.

“We have decided to detain the former vice principal in the royal dungeon.”

It’s about rapport.

They were talking about how to punish the vice principal.

“But I couldn’t find anything he stole.”

His next words made my heart ache.

It was natural that I couldn’t find it.

Because I already swallowed it.

But I can’t say that. I calmly put down the teacup and crossed my legs.

In times like these, I need to show that I have the time to spare.

That way, they won’t think I didn’t do it and doubt me.

“okay.”

“They are so meticulous that even the safe listed in the ledger is empty. “I think they probably anticipated this situation a long time ago and prepared for it.”

“Um…”

The whole time he spoke, his eyes were watching my reaction.

Ledger safe etc.

I was watching to see the reaction that came from me every time I said a word that would sting.

And if they show even the slightest strange reaction, they will suspect that I took it.

No, he was still doubting it.

The only people who knew about the vice-principal’s safe were me, the principal, who looked at the ledgers, and the vice-principal, who was the original owner.

Therefore, there was no choice but to be suspicious of stolen goods that suddenly disappeared.

Either the vice principal or I might be the culprit.

However, acting facial expressions was as easy as eating cold porridge for me.

I looked at him like he was wondering what that was.

“So I’m thinking of torturing the vice principal for a few days to find out. If it still doesn’t come out, there’s nothing we can do. “I guess I should give up and send them to jail.”

“I wish I could find it.”

“I think so too.”

After saying those words, I closed my mouth.

The principal didn’t talk about the vice principal anymore.

A moment of silence.

This time it was the principal who broke it.

“by the way. Can I ask when you could use it?”

I asked about the aurors I had seen.

This is a question I had already expected.

Because the auditors would have told him everything.

“I recently awakened.”

It’s not a lie. It was during this exam that I used Aurors in earnest.

However, what I did this time could not be explained by that.

“Hmm… I recently awakened, but I’m using sword energy?”

“….”

“They say I don’t know because I’m not a prosecutor, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know at all. Let alone awakening at the age of 18, I do know that using sword energy in the year of awakening is impossible.”

Swordsmanship was a problem.

The sword that was supposed to kill the troll in one go became an obstacle.

To be honest, there was no excuse when it came to sword skills.

The level that can handle sword skills is Sword Expert.

In order to become a sword expert, you must awaken your aura and sharpen it for several years.

But considering that most of them stop at beginner level.

The swordsmanship I showed was an impossible thing that should not have been possible in the first place.

“….”

So I was silent.

If you say this or that to make excuses for something that cannot be excused, you will definitely make a mistake.

So, rather than making a mistake, it was better to keep your mouth shut and block it in advance.

The right to remain silent does not exist on earth for nothing.

If I don’t talk about it, it’s difficult for the other person to dig into it to the end.

The principal must have read my thoughts and didn’t try to dig deeper.

“I’m sorry. I tried to go too deep. Everyone has a secret. “When I get excited, I talk a lot.”

“it’s okay.”

Even if I asked, they wouldn’t answer anyway.

“by the way. Thanks to you, I was able to cut out the rotten part. “I express my sincere gratitude.”

The principal bows his head.

I answered by nodding my head.

“So I prepared a gift for you. “I hope you like it.”

“A gift?”

“You can look forward to finding out later.”

The principal smiled meaningfully and looked at me.

***

A few days later, the test results were posted on the academy bulletin board.

The cadets gathered around the bulletin board and looked at their records, giving two reactions: either joy or disappointment.

Once you take the test, you will be notified of your score and the test ranking.

The class for the next grade is determined by adding up the scores and rankings of the tests taken in each grade.

And those whose rankings are too low are repeated.

All I hunted were Orc Warriors and Trolls.

Although it was clear that both were high-scoring monsters, the scores differed depending on how much the cadets who entered in the beginning hunted.

“Aren’t you crazy?”

“Does this crazy thing make sense? “This cannot happen.”

“Isn’t it the teachers’ money?”

However, the cadets were reacting more strongly than expected.

There were even some who grunted as if they could not accept the test results.

And the reaction got worse when I got to the bulletin board.

“Hey, over there…!”

“Is it him? omg… “It doesn’t look like that.”

“How is that possible?”

The way they looked at me was not kind.

Some of them were even hostile to me.

I walked to the bulletin board with a puzzled mind.

“Move!”

“Come out!”

The cadets hurriedly moved to both sides of the road.

And he watched me with eyes full of various emotions.

I ignored them and looked at the results table hanging on the bulletin board.

‘My ranking is…’

From bottom to top.

I looked halfway through, but there were no names like me or Mahol.

As I gradually climbed higher and reached the top, I stiffened slightly.

To be honest, I thought this exam would be somewhere in the middle.

I didn’t hunt that many monsters, and I thought the leading team would have captured most of the prey.

You may think that’s unfair, but that’s the rule.

So I was thinking about going into the mountains.

And then something happened and I couldn’t do that.

I thought that no matter how high I gave the score for catching the troll, it would never exceed 20 points.

At that time, they said that if you catch a troll, you will get about 10 points.

But…

「352nd place Zarge (47)

351st place Luther (48)

350th place Guerra (49)

…

…

…

5th place Der (75)

4th place Hans Derry (77)

tied for 2nd place Mahol Raina (80)

1st place Raymond Millennium (96)”

“….”

What am I looking at now?

For some reason my name is at the top.
