Volume 17 - CH 13

Varius, an amazing magic swordsman ...... (Pervert Oldman)

I was given the chance to become his apprentice by the headmaster of the academy.

But ...... Master Valius is an inexplicably erotic pervert.

As for me, I'm not too keen on the idea.

To figure out what to do, I called the prospective apprentice members to the high-class inn where I was roosting that evening, and I decided to discuss it with them.

「Yeah, I understand what you're talking about. I don't mind being his apprentice.」

Serina didn't seem to think too much about the possibility that she might fall prey to the pervert old man, and answered immediately.

「Serina, do you really understand? The worst that can happen is that he might rape you and get cuckold.」

「But he's a professor at the academy, right? The underwear thief is as bad as Alec, but I think it's better than how you got me to join the Black Cat of the Wind. ......」

「You mean you're going to switch from me?」

I can't gauge the true meaning of Serina's words, so I ask her.

「Don't be silly. I can't think of any other man but you. ......」

Serina, who averts her gaze a bit and says with reddish cheeks, seems to have been trained in a good way.

「Serina is trying to say that since the opponent is a professor at the academy, the damage won't be that bad, and the starlight attack can prevent it. Well, you can't have a guy, but you can think about having a girl, right? Fufu, fufufufu」

Kaede, who is now a member of the Black Cat of the Wind, giggles as she imagines her fluffy relationship with Serina.

I thought she'd graduated from lesbian, but I guess she just changed her class to bisexual.

I guess I'll have to nail her later to make sure she doesn't touch anyone other than Serina.

「Is he a master of masters? ...... Even if I wanted to learn, it seems a bit too much for me. Too bad.」

Noel seems to have given up, but it's important to know your limit.

That old man could easily eat a trap. It would be better not to have a beautiful boy Noel.

「If Master orders me to do it,  ......」

I can't have Meena saying that with a look of unwillingness on her face, either.

Her ears are also drooping more than usual.

She has a much better sense of swordsmanship than I do, but she can't use magic. That's why I don't think she can be a magic swordsman.

Even if I wanted her to learn it as a skill, there's nothing I can do if she doesn't get a candidate to choose from.

「I won't order you, Meena.」

「Right!」

She wagged her tail and I seemed to have chosen the option that would greatly increase her favorability.

But Meena's already at maximum likability, no matter how you look at it. Oh well.

「I also can't use magic, so I guess I'm not a candidate. I'm curious about it as the daughter of a swordsmanship dojo.」

Ione said.

「You'll at least be allowed to observe. I'll talk to him.」

「Yes, thank you.」

The other thing is...

Kaede can use magic and has high physical strength, which I think is enough for her, but she doesn't want to train herself.

This is the only one of our members who might become a magic swordsman.

「Then it's just me and Serina as apprentices. Ione will observe. I'll tell the headmaster and Varius that tomorrow.」

「Aleec!」

Bang! There was still one noisy guy who shouted my name and opened the door. She's not one of us, though.

I say to this forehead girl with a very short haircut.

「Yulia, don't shout with the door open because you'll disturb the other guests.」

「Oh, yeah, that was rude of me. I'm sorry, guests. But! If I close it, it'll be okay.」

「Well, I guess...」

There's a soundproof magical device in this room.

「I've heard there's a sword art called "Magic Sword" and that you are going to be his apprentice. Of course, I have no intention of cheating on my love for the Waterfowl Sword style, but I thought I'd see for myself what kind of swordplay it is.」

「By the way, can you use magic? Yulia.」

「Huh, a swordsman can use magic!」

「You can't use it, can you?」

「No, I can use it.」

「「Ehh? 」」

「What? Really?」

I and the others present were surprised.

I've never seen Yulia use magic before. ......

But she doesn't tell jokes or lies. She's a serious fellow.

「Torment me with the sound of winged insects! Noise!」

Yulia chanted a spell, and I heard the buzzing sound of a nasty, bee-like insect flying in my ear.

「O-okay. That's enough.」

「I'm surprised that you were able to successfully cast the spell in one go against Alec, who has a high magic defense. ...... That's awesome, Yulia!」

Serina was also impressed and complimented her.

「No, not really. In fact, my mother was a magician of some renown. She died of an illness when I was very young, so I never learned any spells from her.」

「Huh? Then how did you learn magic?」

「My father left my mother's spell books in my room without cleaning them up. I learned it from reading them when I was a child. But! For a swordsman to use magic in the middle of a battle is wicked! Evil!」

Yulia clenched her fists and said, while Serina laughed and shrugged her shoulders.

「Do you think so? If a monster does more damage with magic, it's probably easier to kill it with magic.」

「I'm sure that's fine for adventurers, but I'm talking about human opponents, the ones in the match」.

「Oh, yeah...」

Serina's voice was a little low, but she had used a lot of magic in her previous hand-to-hand combat with Welbard-sensei. In the swordsmanship dojo.

「You're right, it's not fair for a swordsman to use magic in a match.」

So I nodded my head in agreement.

「That's right!」

Yulia nodded her head with her arms folded in agreement.

「Yes, yes, yes. So, are you going to be an apprentice――or are you going to observe? I heard he is quite pervert and dangerous.」

「The one who is erotic and dangerous is this person in front of me. I can at least protect myself, though.」

「Hmmm ......」

Serina thinks deeply, but I think Serina at least knows that I've gone easy on her and not touched Yulia.

I'm not going to say that it's a form that was entrusted to me by Welbard-sensei, but it's like a brother and sister.

「Well, that's okay, they say that a frog in a well doesn't know the ocean, so everything is an experience.」

I made a decision and said it,

「I'm going to follow up, but I might have my hands full protecting myself, Alec, please.」

Serina depend on me,

「Well, if the old man does anything weird, I'll take care of it. However, you should at least be prepared to get your ass touched by him.」

In terms of competence, it's impossible to prevent it completely.

「When you put it that way, I'm not comfortable with it, but I have to think about the black anemone a year from now...」

When Serina pondered a bit, there was a knock at the door.

I nodded and Meena opened the door and it was Saki.

「Darling, the three gold, silver and red sisters are downstairs visiting you.」

「Oh, you can let them through. Those three are my friends tonight.」

「Those three sisters are the ones who were there when we destroyed the Mad King's armor, right? Then I guess I don't need to warn them.」

Serina says it as if to say, "Do what you want," but it's true. They knew it was me, and they came here. I guess we're in agreement, here.
