Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 57
Episode 57 〈The prince looked at him. 〉
======================
“Then the sparring begins.”
The academy instructor held a wooden sword and his eyes turned red.
I looked at the other person, Charlotte, with a nervous expression.
“I’m counting on you. “Charlotte.”
Charlotte nodded.
The instructor swallowed dry saliva. The hand holding the wooden sword was sweating.
How long had it been since he had been this nervous?
He looked around.
He could feel the eyes of the students. Also, the academy’s The paladins in charge of security were also seen.
Everyone’s attention was focused.
‘It was ruined.’
The instructor broke out in a cold sweat.
With everyone watching, he had to deal with the girl in front of him.
She is now 17 years old.
For the instructor who has been holding the sword for much longer than her life, this is a sparring that he can never back down from.
If this girl How much humiliation would it be if she lost to her?
No, she wouldn’t be humiliated. There are already countless instructors who have fallen to her.
’11 people.’
This is the story of the instructors who fell after fighting her.
They were all people who had relied on the sword their whole lives. They were carried away because they could not defeat a 17-year-old girl. It
was all the result of a pure swordsmanship sparring.
But…
‘Now, A sparring using holy power or mana!’
I’m a kid who hasn’t even fully realized my holy power or mana yet. If I were to deal with a girl like that, I would have an overwhelming advantage!
That’s right, I’ll do my best to deal with her instead of putting her to shame. I’ll show everyone my skills that once almost got me into the elite group, Heaven’s Army. Zuma!
The instructor injected holy power into the wooden sword.
Holy power swirled around the instructor.
The students and Holy Knights who had gathered to watch let out exclamations.
The instructor smiled with satisfaction.
Yes, watch. A heavenly army, no less! The Holy Cross. I have the skills to become a member of the great cause!
I will defeat you, Charlotte, with this strike. And I will save face for the instructors of Humite Academy!
“Heim, God of Battle!”
The instructor did his best. He mustered all his strength.
“Give me the protection to defeat the enemy with your power!”
In all my life, I have never exerted this much strength, nor have I ever prayed to God so earnestly.
The instructor let out a loud cheer.
“Ooooooooooooooo!”
He strengthened his body with holy power and wrapped it around a wooden sword.
A spark of energy emanated from him.
Charlotte looked at the instructor.
I felt a charisma that no other instructor could produce.
The instructor’s appearance of firm determination was like that of a warrior facing the devil.
“Look carefully! shallot. This is the appearance of a true paladin whose holy power and sword become one…!”
Holy power gushed out from Charlotte’s wooden sword.
“…!”
The instructor’s eyes widened.
In the soft light, there was not an inch of distraction.
The holy power and the wooden sword became one, forming a sword of light.
It was clearly different from the instructor, whose holy power was leaking out
. Charlotte took a breath and exhaled.
Holy power gushed out from her breath. She
lowered the sword and hit the floor. As I gently scraped it, the famous sword split the floor as if slicing tofu.
A chant without prayer. A sword with solid holy power created by that.
The instructor’s spine went numb when he saw that.
The young girl’s eyes were fierce.
Also, her eyes were sharp. The presence seemed huge.
The overwhelming difference in skill weighed down his entire body.
Eventually, unable to withstand the force, the instructor opened his mouth.
“Oh my goodness…”
At that time, Charlotte lunged in.
She swung a wooden sword filled with holy power. The instructor’s wooden sword was clean. She was cut.
Is that all? She was strengthened with holy power and was like a gale.
She dug in and cut with her wooden sword and only passed by, but the floor of the sparring room was dented and the instructor’s body couldn’t resist the impact and had to bounce and roll on the floor.
” Gagging…!”
The instructor let out a groan. He
tried to stand up, but his legs lost strength and he fell down.
The paladins and students were filled with astonishment.
“How did you come to such a realization…”
The instructor trembled. Decades of sword life. In this moment,
he collapsed. He looked at Charlotte
. She didn’t hesitate for a moment. The clean strike she swung the sword with was so attractive that even the instructor was mesmerized.
She looked at the instructor and bowed lightly with the courtesy of a knight. .
“Thank you for your hard work. It was a good match.”
This is the 12th person.
Now there were no instructors left in the academy to deal with her.
The instructor lowered his head as if he was angry when he saw her.
* *
A warm spring breeze flowed in through the window.
“…Prince. Prince? ”
Someone shook me awake.
I woke up and raised my head.
Charlotte was looking down at me.
“It’s lunch time.”
I ended up falling asleep in the library.
I got up and stretched.
Heiss was waiting at the entrance of the library, looked at me, and lowered his head.
Is it already lunch time?
I walked down the hallway.
Perhaps because it was lunch time, there were students running around.
Among them. In particular, many people were looking at Charlotte who was walking with her.
Both men and women were whispering and blushing.
“What happened?”
I asked Charlotte, but she just tilted her head as if she didn’t know.
As I was walking down the street, I saw students gathered in front of the restaurant.
Everyone was looking at the poster on the wall and talking.
[Ambassador Aslan’s celebratory banquet.]
I saw that. I frowned.
What is this? A banquet? Besides, they say we are an enemy country. But is there a need to hold a banquet for such people?
Besides, the fact that it was posted on the Academy poster meant that children of the academy’s noble families should also participate.
Charlotte said as if she had read my expression. .
“It is a custom that is carried out every time an ambassador from another country comes. It is routine to visit and see major facilities.”
“What are you doing there?”
“It’s a banquet. In fact, you can think of it as a show to show off the greatness of the Holy Empire.”
“It’s a banquet, so you’re showing off.”
Do you have something to show off in the banquet hall?
“Inside the academy, a banquet is held, and in the auditorium outside and on the streets of Humite, a sports day is held along with a festival. Various show-off games are held to show off one’s versatility, including sparring, shooting, high jump, track and field, handball, horseback riding, and gymnastics. “They are ready.”
“Isn’t that just like the Olympics?”
In terms of scale, it is more like the Olympics than a sports day. It
is an academy with nobles. Since there are also nobles from other countries, the number of people is over 500.
I heard that even ordinary citizens can participate, so it looks like it will be held on a large scale.
“It is effective. ?”
“The quality of educational facilities is a symbol of the country’s national power. Also, there will be a military parade before the banquet. We will show off our power by displaying the golden cross.”
“…okay?”
In particular, as Aslan, an enemy nation, was involved, there was a high possibility that it would be a
huge event. It could be seen as a kind of show of force.
Also, after experiencing this banquet, Aslan’s side will have to consider what kind of bribe to give to the prosperous Celts.
“Isn’t this something that has nothing to do with me? Do you participate?” Are you doing it?”
Charlotte and Heiss nodded:
“If your grades are good, you can get the support of the Holy Family.”
Heiss also nodded several times at Charlotte’s words.
“Also, the family’s reputation may increase…”
“Oh! Heiss. It’s been a long time.”
Heiss’s expression hardened.
Charlotte and I turned our heads to look at the person who was talking.
Three boys approached Heiss and put their arms around his shoulders.
“When did the disciplinary action end and you didn’t even say hello? I thought I was taken to the North again. How long have you been there? “I was worried.”
As I tilted my head, Charlotte whispered next to me,
“They are the children of the duke and marquis.”
Ah, those who said that Heiss was being bullied?
But I was surprised that Charlotte knew that. Surely she doesn’t know the list of nobles in the academy by heart?
I looked at Heiss.
He dissuaded them with an awkward expression that didn’t befit his size. “Seo seniors, we’ll talk about that later…”
“
Oh, what are these guys?”
The boys approached.
Perhaps because they were practicing swordsmanship, they were quite large.
They were looking at me, then their faces hardened as they looked at Charlotte next to them.
“It’s Charlotte.”
The boys looked very nervous.
Is there some story spreading about Charlotte at the academy?
The boys looked at each other.
‘What should we do?’
‘It’s okay. The other person is a commoner. They can’t do anything about us.’
‘But not long ago, the author’s daughter got blood clots while trying to seduce him.’
‘You’re a viscount. Are you like that minnow? We’re great nobles!’
The boys were bickering among themselves.
I looked at Charlotte and said,
“What do you mean by blood clots?”
“It’s no big deal. There was just a little misunderstanding.”
Charlotte said as if nothing had happened.
Well, it’s probably not a big deal.
As they thought about that, the boys’ meeting came to an end.
They cleared their throats and said,
“Anyway, it’ll be the same if it’s the guy with Heiss.”
“There is no one I don’t know who is a great noble.”
They glanced at Charlotte.
The way she looked up and down was quite annoying.
Should I just beat her up?
No, let’s just leave it.
Didn’t they say she was the child of a marquis and a duke?
They were nobles who served the royal family. They must have been immature yet.
“Let’s ignore it.”
At those words, Charlotte nodded.
I walked towards the restaurant.
Did they think they were scared?
Their spirits leveled off.
“Did you say Charlotte? You can come separately later when we call you.”
“Same goes for the guy there with Heiss. I’ll give you a particularly fun job.”
“Fun thing?”
I turned my head.
The boys shrugged their shoulders. Then they pointed their fingers at Heiss and said,
“We’ll do what he couldn’t do. If you’re from a famous family, we’ll do more interesting things for you.”
The boys giggled.
I blinked and looked at Heiss.
The guy was sweating coldly and had his head down.
“…that’s a really interesting story.”
I looked at them and smiled.
“What’s the story?”
“Look at this guy? Do you see him speaking informally? Do you think what your senior is saying is funny?”
They frowned, but continued to say what they had to say:
“It’s nothing special. It’s just networking. “It is a gift we give to our juniors.”
“What gift?”
“There are a lot of commoners at the academy, right?”
“You choose one of them.”
“And…”
They gave a sinister look.
“We’re having fun together.”
I think I know roughly what it means.
I thought the Seonghwangbeopguk was clean, but it seems not to be.
Even if you drive out the vampires, only the gutter humans remain.
They say humans are scarier than ghosts, and that’s exactly right.
A sigh came out of my mouth.
I looked at Heiss and said.
“His.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Bring the shovel.”
“…yes?”
“Let’s just bury it. “I can’t see these guys becoming the heads of the family.”
Now, whether I like it or not, I have to live in a prosperous kingdom.
I have already gained the trust of Luan and Hilda. If they become successful, I can live happily and safely.
If there is a problem, it would be difficult if these guys caused me a headache.
I don’t know about Hilda, but if it was Luan, there was a high possibility that she would somehow lure me into dealing with it.
It would be better to deal with it in advance.
Haice’s face turned pale.
Perhaps remembering what happened in Ronia, he put one foot back and hesitated.
“No. The opponent is a great nobleman. “No matter how much he… is a saint.”
“Charlotte.”
“Shall I get it from the warehouse?”
I like this guy because he talks fast.
“Do you think he’s interested?”
They smiled and approached.
One of them reached out his hand.
The moment his hand reached out to grab my shoulder, the body of the boy who had reached out floated in the air.
“Huh?”
He neatly flipped over.
Charlotte grabbed the boy’s hand. He grabbed it and slammed it down on the ground.
With a fluttering sound, one of the boys looked into space in fascination.
Charlotte adjusted her collar and looked down with cold-blooded eyes.
“Oh! Charlotte, you’re amazing.”
As they clapped their hands, Charlotte smiled softly.
The boys looked at her and hesitated.
“Wait, what…!”
“Do you know what will happen if a commoner touches us!”
“So you’re saying it’s fine as long as you’re not a commoner?”
I snapped my fingers.
Then a crashing sound echoed from the roof of the academy.
The boys looked up and their expressions hardened.
“Oh, I guess they don’t know yet.”
I smiled at the boys,
“I guess you haven’t heard yet that there’s a fairy in Humite who takes away bad kids.”
The blue Santa on the roof was holding a sack in one hand and a machete in the other, his eyes red.
“…What what…!”
“Boo Red Devil! Braff Guard!”
The boys shouted.
As they turned around and tried to run away, Santa attacked them and
hit their backs with the handle of the machete.
“Gagging…!”
A scream rang out.
The students ran away.
Hey, this is a big deal. It’s complete chaos.
It reminds me of the attack on the necromancer!
I shook my head. I
tried to be quiet, but the situation escalated.
In the world, a blue Santa appeared at the academy and the children of the nobles It’s simple to kidnap him.
Santa Claus, who is equal in gender and social status. How good is it?
Still, wouldn’t it be quieter than beating him up myself?
Besides, as my brother said, I didn’t even touch him with a finger.
I’ve kept about half of my promises.
Ah! The duke’s family. Wow, I’m also going to warn the marquis. It would be better to thoroughly educate him if this happens.
Blue Santa glanced at me.
“Organize it well and put it in.”
Blue Santa nodded.
Charlotte just looked at him, and Heiss’ face turned pale.
“What’s going on!”
The guards came and said,
“Fu Blue Santa!”
However, they hesitated when they saw the Blue Santa.
The guards could not step forward. They just watched the people putting the sacks in. It
was natural.
According to the orders of the ‘Inquisitor’ who was directly selected by the Holy Emperor, the Blue Santa in Humite would never An order was given not to touch it.
If you touch it without the consent of the three archbishops, you will be immediately punished for treason for violating the royal order
. That was the reason why the guards did not respond even when they saw Blue Santa on the street.
Blue Santa’s eyes glanced at me. I saw it.
I smiled brightly and said,
“Send it to the Red Cross. Tell them to give it some mental education.”
Blue Santa chuckled. He climbed onto the roof and disappeared.
“Now that we’ve taken care of the messy trash, let’s eat.”
Charlotte nodded and followed after me.
Heiss just looked back and forth between Santa, who had disappeared, and me, with a frozen face.
The next day, boys, unknown whether they were dukes or marquises, were found naked in the vacant lot of Humite.
That became the problem.
The next day was the day when Aslan’s ambassador visited Humite.
After hearing the news, the 3rd prince, Rupel Olfols, came to see me.
His face was red and he was angry.
“Did you do this?”
I smiled at him.
It was probably about the three crazy brothers.
After all, they were a duke and a marquis. They were nobles who should not be messed with.
Even just the Aslan line would make my brother, who was troublesome, angry.
I was positive. I decided to do it.
“Yes, I did it.”
Ruppel gritted his teeth and said something I had never thought of before:
“You’re out of your mind! You’re hanging a necromancer in Humite Square on the day the ambassador is coming. What on earth are you thinking!”
I couldn’t help but stiffen at those words.
