Chapter 261

Unlike usual, Kingdom Academy was buzzing from morning. Most of the academy faculty members shook their heads, saying that the upcoming winter vacation was shaking the hearts of the students again, but the truth was a little different.

A female student who had to go to and from school after falling out of the dormitory saw it on her way to the academy early in the morning.

Dwarf Chimpanjang A young man wearing Gulla’s costume that one would recognize at once walking out of Gula’s shop.

It wasn’t much of a big deal until he came out with a deep purple cape reminiscent of the night sky, saying hello politely.

Checking the young man’s tall stature, wide shoulders that could be seen even from the top of the cape, and a short-legged dog panting with a cute face at his feet, the female student checked the young man’s face as he felt awakened.

And as soon as he arrived at the academy after an enthusiastic run, he shouted to his classmates.

“I think I just saw the real Eldmia Ega on my way to school!!”

“Did you see something strange again this time, so it’s a mess from the morning?”

The female student complained of resentment, but considering the false information she has brought about in the past few weeks, the reaction of her classmates was very reasonable. As a result, the female student, who this time described the young man she saw in detail based on the five-ha principle, felt betrayed by her friends who did not believe in her, but none of her friends paid any attention to her sense of betrayal.

Instead, I left open the possibility that it might be real this time. And that possibility turned into certainty around lunchtime.

“That’s right. You said you’re attending Professor Legneva’s class today.”

Through the words of Sheryl Tsushin Ogatorf, who has the most contact with Eldmia.

At first, the students who tried to confirm that the young man the female student saw was Eldmia, but the students, who had completely unexpected information, started turning the restaurant upside down without anyone saying first, and Cheryl, who had not read such an atmosphere in advance, crossed her eyebrows. Frowning, he realized belatedly that he had made a mistake.

Fortunately, the barrage of questions directed at her did not last very long.

“Eldmia entered the academy!”

Sheryl washed her face once and let out a deep sigh as she watched the students rush out at the cry of someone who had burst into the cafeteria door. Not only did most of the sophomores get out of here due to the recent big move, but it bothered me very much that I couldn’t see the gomtang Calitz and Griffith, but I didn’t want to get involved in a place that was sure to be messed up in some form.

In the end, Cheryl organized the countless thoughts that passed through her head and put them in her mouth briefly.

“Well, because it’s up to me.”

Then, as if nothing had happened, he was about to continue his meal, but hurriedly finished his meal and left.

◈

After leaving the clothes shop of an unknown dwarf old man, I came back home, showed off my new clothes in front of Asilie, who was just drinking coffee, and headed to the academy after lunch.

“Really, can’t we imitate a knight this time?”

As if my words were a sign among the students, a large male student approached me.

“Are you Sir Eldmia Ega?”

What is this bear?

The muscle pig, who was roughly the same eye level as me and seemed to have twice as much muscle attached to the front and back, brought about five or six guys with similar muscle mass to his own, but a short head, and spoke to them politely. It was quite polite and polite to say that the threat was the purpose, so I decided to answer in moderation.

“It’s okay to go to Eldmia, but not Sir.”

I just pointed out the wrong title, but for some reason, exclamations flowed from the surroundings, and even Gomtaengi, as if thrilled, began to look at me with a burdened expression. And based on my experience in the Empire, when a guy who seems more friendly with swords than magic at first glance reacts like this, it’s usually one thing he wants.

“This kind of humble attitude even though he helped root out the heinous traitors who forgot the grace of the royal family! He is truly an example of a knight! Please...” Knowing that, I opened my mouth before he could even finish talking

.

“First. I came here as an assistant and disciple of Professor Legneva, not as a swordsman. I’m not even an example of a knight.”

“Dalian...yes?”

“Second. I don’t have the hobby of catching anyone and sparring.”

Every time he raised his finger and spoke, the murmur subsided. I didn’t say it out loud on purpose, so I was curious about what he was saying, so I spread my ring finger for the last time, feeling satisfied with the way they quieted down.

“Third. Rumors are always exaggerated, so don’t have vain fantasies and focus on your academy classes.”

I don’t know what kind of rumors they heard, but I’m sure they picked up various things from floating rumors to facts and chewed them up as gossip. I’m willing to help if I become stronger just by correcting them one by one, but fighting with kids who are weaker than me is just a waste of time.

“So I’d like you to get out of the way now.”

I had no intention of showing such kindness, so when I said it clearly, Gomtaengi hesitantly but carefully opened the way. Still, I tried to move forward thinking that he was a friend with whom I could communicate, but this time a question came from a different direction.

“Then can you tell me which rumors are true?”

It’s a polite question, but a voice with a hint of laughter somewhere. When I turned my head in the direction of the sound, I saw a long-haired male student looking like a dark-eyed Carrick with narrow eyes looking at me.

“I know it’s rude, but at the academy, salute Ega... Excuse me, Ega-sama’s reputation is so high. It’s to the point that I want to split it up until lunchtime like this. Seeing you like this, can you tell me one thing?”

He must be the same age as Cheryl or a similar age, but it’s very noble to stand up moderately and push and pull. At the moment when I was going to ignore it or not, it seemed that there was a possibility that trouble would be reduced if I made one thing clear, so I gave a short answer.

“scaffold.”

Thinking that they were as smart as an academy cadet, they would understand what I was saying, and I moved on again.

Fortunately, no students followed.
