CH 67

Gurudo and the others, who had been boiled by Lars and his friends, had returned to their own academy. The facilities are not bad, and Gurudo, who used to be the vice commander of the Knights, though he had taught them some skills.

However, he lost. He could say that he had won in terms of numbers, but he could not allow himself to win as if he had been handed a victory. He believes in beating his opponents to within an inch of their lives.

“Damn …… making me do such a nasty report ……”

Gurudo muttered to himself as he walked through the castle of Luitzar. Since the government finances the school, they are obligated to report the results of each event on a case-by-case basis. In particular, the Holy Knight Club is also responsible for training future knights, so it is important to monitor their progress.

“His Majesty, it’s Gurudo.”

“Good work. Come this way.”

When the door was opened and Gurudo shouted, the king called for him to come closer, which he did.

“How was the match?”

“Ah …… They were  unexpectedly strong, so the game ended in a draw.”

“Hmm, that’s quite a feat. Being able to have a draw with my country’s knights. Now you know why they are called the Holy Knights?”

“Ah …… It was established as a starting point for those who wish to follow in the footsteps of the holy knights that our country’s heroes used to call themselves.”

The king nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and continued.

“In order to have a friendly competition with other countries, the king of the previous generations spread it around the world, but the country that had the holy knights was my country, Luitzar. So we must be the best in the knightly ranks. You must be diligent, okay?”

“Yes ……!”

(T/N: This “Yes” part is said as a salute to the king.)

In spite of the calm tone of voice, Gurudo’s gaze like a needle prick makes him sweat cold. 

The current king’s desire to win in order to maintain his dignity was so strong that it was beginning to undermine civility, protection of the weak, honor, and respect.

The king was about to continue when he heard a young woman’s voice.

“Father, I think that’s enough. If they haven’t lost, why don’t you win next time …… Nevertheless, what are you going to do about that case? I don’t like it, okay?”

“Oh, Grace …… y-yes, but if you lose the battle, ‘next’ is–“

“Father, are you talking about knights when I’m in trouble?”

“Phew …… Don’t worry, I’m thinking about it, wait for a little while–“

The king and his daughter, Princess Grace, began to talk, and Gurudo looked relieved. But then, Gurudo shouted out loud.

“That’s right, that face! I thought I’d seen that face somewhere before, but of course! His Majesty! I’m sorry to say this, but at the Oblivion Academy–“

◆ 　 ◇ 　 ◆

“Ha ……!”

“They say that when you sigh, your happiness escapes.”

“I guess it’s okay for you since brother will just watch ……”

“I’m happy since we’re all together♪.”

Nora is carelessly holding a cat in her arms, but the scene in front of her is anything but calm. By the way, this is the guild, and here are the A-class members, my brother, and Verna-sensei.

Why? That, of course, has to do with the “guild club” that Makina mentioned the other day.

To be honest, I really think it sounds interesting, and Makina’s idea is as follows.

The basic idea is “to accept requests from the advisor and the guild, and solve them together”, and if the advisor is with us, it will be reassuring and safe to defeat monsters. It’s also a great way to gain experience in actual combat.

The rewards will be divided among the members, and the remainder will be saved to pay for the club. They want to use the money to buy equipment.

They are also thinking of doing things like voluntarily going into the mountains to improve their skills and defeating monsters without taking requests.

This was something that Luciel, Yogus, Jack, and Urka were happy about. These kids have skills that they don’t usually use.

As for me, I don’t have to think about making money to become a lord anymore, so I’m willing to spend my time improving everyone’s skills and my own abilities.

So, the reason why is–

“The First Guild Club Meeting! A word from the president please!”

“Right, since you’re the one who started it, why don’t you be the president of the club ……”

“Hmmm! As I thought, I want Lars-kun, who is the strongest in class A, to be the president of the guild! Now, please.”

So that’s it.

As for me, I’m fine with being in a position to help people in danger, but my classmates unanimously agreed that I should be the president.

Tigre-sensei said it sounded like a good idea, so I went to the headmaster and got the okay. The advisor was Verna-sensei, and Tigre-sensei was the sub-advisor. The reason why it was the other way around was that they wanted Verna-sensei to be an active teacher.

“Ehhh …… So, I didn’t think that the guild club would be established so soon, but now that it is, I’m going to give it my all. The members are …… Luciel, are you sure Luciela is coming too?”

“Yes. I’m sorry about that ……”

“Oh, no, I’m not blaming you, Luciel. Brother is also here, so I don’t think it’s not okay, yep.”

It’s just that I’m not very good at her ……

“Since they’re not here today, but the twelve of us, including Helena and Luciela, let’s do our best! If there’s something you want to do or a request that sounds interesting, let’s quickly do it.”

“Oh! Thanks to Verna-sensei, I can now use my “magic sword” a little bit, so I’m ready to take on monsters!”

“I’d like to use necromancy in the forest. Why don’t we go to the cemetery ……?”

“I’m not good at that kind of thing ……”

Everyone was immediately excited, and Verna-sensei smiled as she watched.

“Everyone’s so energetic. I’ll support you, so let’s learn to do all kinds of things.”

“Yes!”

Then I hear a voice from somewhere other than the table we’re sitting at.

“Where Lars goes, I’ll be there. I’ll help you!”

“No, Mizuki-san, you should be working ……”

We laughed as Gibson-san retorts. Well, let’s just try it for now and if it doesn’t look like it would work, we can think about it again, right?

The crux of the teacher and student version is finally here. I hope you’ll keep reading!

Thank you for reading!

“So that ruffian is from another country …… I’m really curious as to who the hell Verna is.”

I’ve been reading the story for a while now, and I’ve never seen a flag that looks like a flag.

(T/N: Like a death flag.)
