As we had arrived here unexpectedly early, we killed the time at a nearby stall by appropriately filling our belly.
Although I ate breakfast just a little while back, I felt hungry for some reason.
It feels so good, being able to eat
I truly thank the god for giving us so many different flavors to eat...
And five minutes before the scheduled time, The Scary Looking Dorm mother pushed me to the gymnasium...
I truly wonder why is she so excited about it..!!
When I arrived there, I was overwhelmed.
Even though it was early morning, the gymnasium was overflowing with a crowd of students... and some old looking dudes high up
Whatever...
「Wow, it is the entry of the Failed Swordsman!」
「You're finally going to disappear! Watching you swing the sword like a fool every day was unsightly!」
「We have to be grateful to Dodriel! He's going to drive away the burden of the academy after all!」
Jeering from student rained down on me... But I actually feel quite good hearing so many noises, I finally came home, and I can finally hear the voice of many different people...
I waived to them as well while cheerfully laughing
「Is he a retard or something」
Boooooooo
Wow, I must be pretty hateful person 100 million years ago
「ALLEN... GO FOR IT SON」
Aaah... The Old Lady, This must be the reason she came here with me
I waived to her this time, She is so courageous, to cheer for the pariah in front of the entire crowd, this takes some real courage
Suddenly I heard an unnatural deliberate giggle.
In the direction of the giggle- A Boy was standing in the middle of the gymnasium, surrounded by his followers. He had a repulsive grin plastered on his face as he gave a sidelong glance at me.
「Aha… you deserve praise for not running away at the very least, Allen.」
「Uh... who are you..!!」
「What did you just say」
Look like I made him angry, well, this is to be expected, he was trying so hard to get my attention and I suddenly said I don't know him... He must be an academy student.
「It's alright... You can do it」
Wait... I talked normally, My sense of talking must be returning to normal...
「Why... You... Jerk..!!」
He got angry when I don't recognize him, he gets angry When I motivate him.. Sigh kids these days are getting more and more weirder
Ignore him, come on... Ignore him..!!
Apparently that has Dodriel fuming
「Look at me Trash」
But Allen just kept ignoring him...
「TALK TO ME..!!」
I don't know what to say to this kid, Is he Tsundere
..............
At the top of the stadium, the principle was sitting with 4 different peoples
「That guy over there is over top Genius Dodriel... I believe he will be the top Student in your University」 said the principle
「I don't think so」said the cold looking woman
「Indeed, Using a hard-working student to not only shame him but also to elevate his own resume in order to get selected to our Universities, that guy is nothing more than that of a trash」said another man
「I agree, that boy will amount to nothing in the future」said another Lady
「Your Academy is falling in quality Juran, I don't see a single person of interest here 」said another man
「If that's all you wanna show us, we should go back」
「P-Please wait Sire, at least see his match, I am sure you will change your opinion, and besides, it's his last year in the academy, he has to go to University one way or another」
「You worry too much Juran... yes, this is the boy's last year but he can always apply for local University for further education of sword fighting.」
「That's right, I don't wanna say this, but, neither his talent nor his attitude match condition required by any of the four royal Universities」
「Someone who is willing to destroy other student life just to alleviate his own resume, even though that student is also the last year in this academy... sigh... Juran, I don't think, Royal Sword Universities need someone like him」
Juran the principle began to sweat profoundly..!!
In this world, if anyone wants a decent Job they need to graduate from the University, there are various universities, for nearly every kind of job, all granting a good Job, Governed by the King Himself.
But 4 Universities Stand above all, Students Graduating from these Universities, are royalties, sons or daughters of the general of the army, No Prince is allowed to be the King, until unless he graduates from one of the four Royal University.
Famous Ministers hailed from these universities, Famous Soldiers or mages or healers graduated from these Universities, Every Academy tries to send even of their students to these Universities Just to boost their Status in the Academy Rankings.
But eventually, every student in the last year of the various academies will attend the University one way or another.
Down there, the audience is going nuts, it was exciting, not because it was an equal fight, but because of entirely different reason
「Blast away the Failed Swordsman!」
「Kyaaー! Dodriel-sama! Good luck!」
A male teacher came into the gymnasium as the students cheered for Dodriel's victory and my defeat. The Male Teacher was momentarily surprised at the number of students and their loud noise, but then kept walking without saying anything.
「Well… It is the predetermined time, thus I want to start the duel between Dodriel Barton and Allen Rodore... Please come mid stage」
Wow, this is the Kid with that weird tendency of always getting angry..!!
「Ahem, both parties, are you ready? Thenー START!」
And the match began, in such extremely away circumstances.
「I won't end this in an instant, Allen. I'll slowly hurt you… until you cry and beg for forgiveness!」
Dodriel pulled out the sword fastened at his waist and gave a sadistic smile.
「Okay... Uh... Good Luck?」
「You...」
While standing in the pre-war period of stance, I did never took out my sword...
「Why aren't you taking out your Sword Allen... Are you scared... Are you scared Trash!!!」
「No, It's because you are not capable of making me take out my sword」I said in the most serious tone I could mutter
「Hahahaha... did you hear that trash talking」
「Hahahaha」
There was a laughing round in the audience
I never really cared, as I smiled alongside them
But apparently a heavy air permeated through the dueling atmosphere from my opponent.
Sigh... This kid loses his temper far too fast.
The next moment,
「UOOOOOOOO!」
He released a loud vigorous roar and rushed at me in a straight line.
Wow, this Kid is even more in need of the training than I previously thought he did...
To be more precise, he was running slowly towards meー as how children pretend to play with swords...
I stood there
A few seconds later, Dodriel finally got close to me and began attacking.
「Rain Style ー Summer Rain!」
He unleashed a crude large thrust... Pathetically weak Thrust...
I Just caught the sword in between my middle and index finger
!!!
!!!
!!!
!!!
Everyone was quiet at this point
「AAAAGHHHH」
I waived my arm sideways and the sword falls out of his hand...
*Ting *Ting
Utter Silence...
Sigh... No matter the feud, this boy is Just a hot-blooded youth, we all make mistakes, It's what makes our life... I should just let him win this time
So, I raised my arm above my head...
「I concede」
No one spoke anything... as I began to walk back.
「ARE YOU LOOKING DOWN AT ME」
I keep moving back to the Gymnasium
「Come back here, and Fight me Like a man Allen」
I didn't turn back
「AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH」
The Crowd is going nuts at this point of time
And I feel the boy trying to hit me in the back... So that's why the crowd is going nuts huh?
Sighing I just leaned right...
!!!
!!!
!!!
And his attack missed, I Used my fist to strike him with the force of the 1/10 of my physical strength, dealing damage to him... I am holding back nearly everything at this point of time so Not to accidentally kill this boy in front of me, that just want acknowledgment...
At least that's what I think he wants, considering he was desperately trying to get my attention earlier.
Puuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh
Dodriel threw a mouthful of blood as he slid back by a large margin...
He was kneeling on his knee with red blood eyes, and chin covered entirely in blood staring right into the eyes of Allen.
Allen shook his head... This kid has that Hot bloodiness and ambition, sure, but his talent and way of doing things... Sigh... such a pity...
Pushing out his palm out, call forth a mighty earth-shattering wave that nearly killed Dodriel, Fortunately Allen Held back
And Dodriel fainted... Just like that...
I could see various eyes on me... Even that of the four people sitting higher up..!!
「Juran, I think You Just have the right candidate that will excel in Royal University」 said the man
「But I heard that the condition of him losing is Leaving this academy, And he technically loose right, he conceded the first」 said the second man
「Why do we have to care for it, Remember we accept anyone and everyone that can help the Kingdom, whether it's noble, Begger, Wondering Swordsman or anyone」 said the Cold Looking woman
「P-Please S-Sire, M-mam, How can we let such a talented student leave our Academy... Rest Assured, my Academy will be the one who will produce the Royal University student」
Allen didn't care about this, he just Roams and eats with Dorm Mother
