27. Return to Academy and Civil War [3] – part 1

Immediately after a group of five suddenly barged into the Soul Dress Area.

「E-Excuse us, Director!」

「H-hey, you guys! What do you think you’re doing in the middle of a lesson?」

The two teachers entered the room immediately and rebuked their actions.

However, surprisingly Leia-sensei stopped them,

「It’s fine! I like hot-blooded guys. And to tell you the truth, when I was in my first year, I was excluded from the members of the Big Five Holy Festival. On the day I learned about it, I asked one of the participating members to have a duel and took their position.」

「O-Oh, is that what happened…」

「Aa, moreover… At that time, Thousand Blade Academy was full of fighting spirit! Mock battles and duels took place everywhere you looked! It was a good old age!」

Sensei laughed happily.

Personally, I want to refrain from fighting too much within the academy. The idea is to have fun with everyone and polish our swordsmanship.

As I was thinking about it, the male student at the head of the group drew out his sword.

「And so! Where is Allen-Rodore? You’re too scared to show yourself. is it? Nn?」

He eyed all the students of Class A with provocative words.

「That guy… is Reyes, a song-sword user.」

「That Reyes-Volgan who was always causing problems in middle school…! I never thought he’d enroll into our academy…!」

In the background, I heard the voice of class A students whispering.

(Reyes-san, huh… He doesn’t seem to have a very good reputation…)

Reyes-Volgan.

HIs hair was quite long for a man, and it was a deep red colour.

Silver piercings on his left ear.

The height is about the same as mine – around 170cm.

I decided to come forward for the time being because the conversation will not advance if I kept silent as is.

「I am Allen-Rodore… What business do you have with me?」

「Fuuun…」

An evaluation-like glance was turned towards me by the group of five.

「Haha! Whyyy, did a mediocre swordsman like this receive the honour to be a participating member of the Big Five Holy Festival?」

「Did you bribe your way in?」

「How to say this? Something like the air surrounding this guy… seems unreliable as a swordsman.」

「To put it bluntly, he looks hella weak.」

「Well, at any rate, he isn’t a match for us.」

It seemed that I didn’t fit their bill, and the voices of abuse flew out from each of them.

「You guys, running your mouths as you like…!」

「…You have poor judgement skills.」

Ria and Rose glared at them with sharp eyes.

But Reyes-san didn’t care about it and took a piece of print out of his pocket.

「I’ve looked into you, Allen-Rodore! Gran Swordsmanship Academy’s lowest! You were made fun of as the 『Dropout Swordsman』, and your grades were always the lowest from the beginning of admission! Even if you want to belong to a sword school, you were turned down by everyone due to the exceeding lack of talent – furthermore, you are self-taught! On your third year, you defeated a swordsman called Dodriel by underhanded means! 」

「……」

Certainly, he has well researched about me during the Gran Swordsmanship Academy period.

But – what does that have to do with anything?

The past is the past after all.

Even if I compare myself with the me from a billions years ago… I don’t think it has any meaning.

「Now do you understand how hopeless of a swordsman this Allen-Rodore is?! You idiots of Class A are being fooled by this dropout swordsman! Or what? Is he holding on to your weaknesses? Or are you getting money? Huh? 」

The students of Class A laughed at Reyes-san, who was barking at them with crude words.

「Oi Oi, You… did you not watch the match between Allen and Sid?」

「I saw it, though? Losing in the early stages and showing a little motivation in the middle, but at the end he was swallowed by the spirit core and it was a foul loss! Did I miss something?」

And their target moved from me to Class A.

「Even if you’re called Class A… It’s just based on your ability at the『moment of enrollment』right?」

「Yes-yes… you don’t have to be so domineering over that.」

「A swordsman’s strength, is his soul dress’ strength. That’s common sense, right?」

「Because, Princess Ria can use soul dress, I can agree with that. But, a dropout swordsman and a drab bounty hunter being chosen is incomprehensible.」

「I don’t know if it’s a lame friendship or whatever. But you incompetent fools who did not undertake the soul dress class and just did simple muscle training, are no match for us.」

They ridiculed everyone in Class A.

「……」

「Damn…」

I can’t keep silent after they’ve gone so far.

At the moment, when Ria and I stepped forward.

「Hee, You don’t have to go out of your way to deal with these punks, Allen. Leave this to me. I’ll rust these octopus bastards with my Iron Cutting Style…」

Saying that, Tessa-Burmond, the swordsman of Iron Cutting Style, jumped to the forefront.

「What’s this? You’re going to be first opponent?」

「Ou, I’m the first opponent! But well, you guys won’t be able to move on to the second opponent either way!」Tessa said, smiling confidently and fearlessly.

「Hee… how amusing. I’ll play along with you, come on already,」

「It will be a sight to see how long that attitude lasts. Iron Cutting Style – Rust Off!」

At the next moment, Tessa begin to start running in a straight line and slashed at Reyes-san.

(…A good strike)

This is probably the result of the intensive strength training for the past month.

Grip, stepping into opponents range, and spirit – all those have grown beyond what it used to be.

「This is the endddddd!」

In front of the speed and weight of the downswing, Reyes-san grimaced.

「Surge -〈Three Skeleton〉!」

At that moment,

「What…!?」

Tessa’s blow was caught by three small dragons that suddenly appeared.

The dragons with only the bones without meat, with a red light floating in their eye sockets, laughed happily,「Korokorokoro!」.

And the next moment,

「Skeleton Shower!」

The three dragons broke down into small bones and charged Tessa at a tremendous speed.

「……!? Guha…!」

With his whole body struck by the rain of bones, he was blown away – and lost consciousness.
