Helmut: The Forsaken Child - Chapter 80

Helmut

Episode 80

Sian asked Asuka, who had picked herself up from the floor, as if she was truly curious.

“back? Is there anyone you can guess? You don’t get along well with anyone at the academy. “How do you know who it is among them?”

“Noisy! Strawhead!”

The truth is painful. Asuka lost her temper towards Xian, who had light brown hair.

“I think I know who the client is.”

Helmut opened his mouth.

“I don’t know if he will confess, but if you want to be sure, take him in and torture him…”

Darian told him that humans have no business in front of hawks. If you catch them, burn them, pull out their fingernails, and break their limbs, most people will confess the truth.

If he were alone, he would have gladly done so, but unfortunately Helmut was not alone.

Aside from Xian, surprisingly, Asuka was shocked and opposed it.

“Hey you crazy guy! “You said you used to become a student at Greta Academy…”

“Is this what you would say after being suspended for biting off someone’s ear?”

Xian said as if he was shocked. But his face also became pale.

‘You said you were a mercenary, right? ‘What level of thinking?’

I wouldn’t describe it as rough. He looks like a guy who came from some kind of war.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. If you get caught, you will be expelled from school no matter how much you attack them. “Torturing someone is worse than killing someone in self-defense.”

Rather than invoking moral awareness for no reason, it seemed like saying this would work better for Helmut.

As expected, Helmut nodded.

“Then don’t. “It would be difficult if it became a problem.”

That was exactly the reason. Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s hand it over to the soldiers. “If we tell the Academy, they will interrogate them.”

They called a soldier and took over the fallen Black Hawk group.

In Baden, assaulting an academy student is treated strictly as a serious crime. It wasn’t going to be easy.

Cian cast a simple healing spell on Asuka, who was covered in wounds.

“Because this is not my area of expertise. “Go back and get proper treatment.”

Asuka turned her head away without even saying thank you. Xian said with a grin.

“let’s go.”

They headed straight to the academy administration office. It was to report on the attack.

Helmut and Sian had to attend as witnesses.

‘It’s a hassle.’

Sian seemed to enjoy this unexpected situation, but Helmut, who was thinking about going back and training, was dissatisfied.

If I had known this would happen, I would have left it alone.

Upon hearing that Asuka had been attacked, the administrative office staff, aware of the seriousness of the situation, called the swordsmanship instructor.

Instructor Alan, who happened to be staying behind, listened to Sian’s story along with the administrative office staff.

The reason why Xian explained everything was because, as a third party, he could convey the situation more objectively.

“So, who hired someone to attack Asuka? “Is it true?”

“It’s true. “The other person was armed and said the target was this guy.”

When Sian testified, Instructor Alan coolly refuted.

“Maybe he pointed out Asuka because he was the one who got into a fight. You said you ran into Asuka who was running away. “At that point, the opponent was already chasing Asuka.”

He had to look at the situation as objectively as possible.

“Because it’s not! They knew me! They approached while forming a siege and started a fight! They were targeting me from the beginning! Planned! “There’s no way I could run away just because I got into a fight with a few people, right?”

Any decent opponent would have turned me into a mess. Instructor Alan also knew Asuka’s skills.

He nodded.

“So Asuka, who do you think was targeting you?”

Asuka responded nervously.

“They must be noble guys from the second year of the swordsmanship department!”

“Is there anyone who has a guess?”

“yes.”

Asuka called out the names of the criminals she guessed. Instructor Alan’s brow wrinkled when he heard the name he called.

We are aware that discrimination against commoners occurs within the swordsmanship department.

This was something that Patricia shared, and it was a problem that could not be ignored. Moreover, if there is a request for violence against a commoner student.

“If you call the people I mentioned right away and investigate, you will get the answer. It may not have been a direct request, but a request must have been made through the family. “I’ve only recently become friends with this guy, so if I see him, one of them will confess.”

The physiology of nobles is obvious. When Asuka spat with disdain, Alan shook his head.

“First of all, there is no evidence that they did it.”

“Then you’re saying I’ll leave you alone!”

“No, we will have to interrogate those who have been caught and find out who the client is. No need to worry. The investigation will be carried out reliably. All you have to do is use magic to make him confess.

And if it is true that an academy student was involved in this matter, he will be punished accordingly.”

Punishment worse than expulsion could have been meted out. If the family was involved in this, even greater sanctions would be imposed.

Helmut said with an expressionless face.

“These guys are Black Hawks. “These guys are used to this kind of thing, so I don’t think they will just confess.”

“They are the ones who take on dirty requests from the Black Hawk nobles. Are you sure?”

“yes. “It is as certain as the fact that the client is a nobleman.”

“Actually, the only people who will pay money to target that guy are nobles.”

Sian shrugged his shoulders. The administrative office staff summarized and wrote down the details of their testimony. Instructor Alan said.

“I will report this matter to the higher-ups. I’ll have to discuss it with the instructors as well. You guys go back and get some rest. “Asuka, please treat your wounds.”

It was already late. The academy’s infirmary was open 24 hours a day, but only emergency treatment was possible at night.

And emergency measures had already been taken by Xian. Even if you go to the doctor, they will advise you to lie down with a bandage on.

However, first aid alone was not enough for the wound.

“What about the wound? There was a rather deep cut on my side. “I made it only slightly healed on the outside, so if I moved it even a little, it would burst.”

“It will get better when you wake up, so don’t worry!”

Xian clicked his tongue.

“You can’t do that when you’re not a monster. you’re stupid?”

“this!”

Asuka was always ready to start a fight, but she couldn’t overcome the pain in her body.

Cyan looked pitifully at Asuka, who raised her arms and then lowered her body with a groan. Helmut added a word.

“You can go to a healing wizard.”

“Do you think this guy has the money for that? If you want to get treatment this night, you’ll have to pay twice as much. “It’s a big burden for commoners.”

Xian was paying close attention.

In fact, he had a wide range of interests, but despite his gentle appearance, he had a cold side.

That means Asuka became interested.

On the contrary, Helmut now wanted to be freed from this troublesome task. Helped me a lot. This is a huge act of kindness.

“You don’t care, so you can just leave it alone.”

“You heartless bastard! “Do you know that it was something that almost happened to you?”

He gets angry when he says he will do whatever he wants. He was just a guy who was very dissatisfied with everything.

Helmut just hung up.

“I wouldn’t have been hurt. Unlike you.”

Asuka, who saw Helmut fighting, gritted her teeth but could not respond. Xian’s eyes lit up as he looked at the two in turn.

‘Huh, this guy?’

The reaction is a bit different from showing this to Sian. Even a crazy dog holds his breath in front of an opponent stronger than him.

Rather, Asuka was looking at Helmut with eyes like a whining puppy.

He doesn’t like Sian’s attention, but reacts sensitively when Helmut tries to ignore him.

‘There’s something cute about it.’

Since he vehemently refused, I changed my mind about leaving him alone.

This is your chance to tame a crazy dog. It may not be you who holds the leash.

“There is a way. “Helmut I need your help.”

His eyes were irritated, as if he was asking, ‘What is it again?’ Sian smiled regardless.

***

―Knock knock.

“You can come in.”

The door burst open and Helmut half-stepped inside.

Alea happened to be coming out of the bathroom, having changed into new pajamas and finished washing her face.

Area looked at Helmut who stood tall and frowned. He felt a sign of popularity behind his back. There are two people.

“What, who is outside?”

“I need your help.”

Helmut opened his mouth, pretending not to be able to resist a hand poking his back.

“Are you saying you’re going to let us in here? “Two guys?”

Area rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

Lately, the wall with Helmut has been breaking down, but that doesn’t mean he will accept other guys.

The door opened a little more and Xian stuck his head out.

“Hey Area! Don’t be so cold. We don’t even know each other. uh? You look really impressive in your pajamas. “That’s cool.”

Area was wearing light purple pajamas with a brown teddy bear on them. Maybe it’s because the material is luxurious and the pattern is elaborate, but it’s not as childish as I thought and fits well.

Have you ever heard that pajamas with animal pictures on them are trendy these days? Xian showed interest.

“Did you buy that new? “Where did you get it?”

Area responded indifferently.

“Malfort Store.”

“That place on the eastern end of downtown? “It’s very expensive there.”

“Because, unlike you, I have a lot of money.”

“Yes, yes, I guess so. Head of the Magic Faculty.”

“Yes, vice president.”

Xian deftly accepted it. Unlike Area, who devoted his life to his grades, he was not too concerned about his grades.

There is a bit of a gap with Area, but it is comfortably maintaining second place. That was enough.

“Then, Chief, can this Deputy come into the room? “The air outside is chilly.”

I deliberately showed interest in the new items I bought and tried to please her, but Area did not take it easy.

“What is that guy behind you?”

“That’s the point!”

Xian pushed Asuka’s shoulder. Asuka, whose wound was irritated, clutched her stomach and squinted.

“What a beggar, come pick this guy up.”

Area said in shock.

Asuka was a slim, handsome boy who was rare in the swordsmanship department. But now, with his matted hair and chapped lips, he just didn’t look like that.

Xian laughed, covering Asuka’s mouth as she tried to say something.

“You probably know this guy, right?”

Helmut went inside, as if telling them to take care of it, and a space was created. Sian acted quickly.

“Well, it’s late, isn’t it? “Let’s talk inside instead of making noise outside.”

Xian pushed Asuka inside and quickly closed the door. Alea’s eyes became grim.

“What are you doing?”

“Do you know how to use healing magic? Or maybe there’s a potion or something?”

“Are you here to ask me to heal this guy? “Why do I have to do such a troublesome thing?”

“Out of mercy and sympathy for a commoner classmate who was attacked and injured by a bully instigated by nobles?”

“I don’t have those feelings, so take me out of my room!”

‘It’s not easy.’

Area wasn’t always easy. Sian felt challenged to figure out how to persuade him.

Asuka, with her new mouth freed from her guard, scanned Area’s face and asked.

“You’re so damn pretty. “Are you that area?”

Just as Area knew about the crazy dog in the swordsmanship department, Asuka also knew about the head of the magic department. Two celebrities are in one place.

A cool smile appeared on Alea’s lips.

“You’re pretty too.”

If you take a closer look, you will see that her face is so pretty that you wouldn’t even suspect that she is actually a woman.

It may not be the same as Area herself, but… for some reason, the way he spoke was annoying. He is a mismatch.
