Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 31

Episode 31

– When I went to the vice principal’s office, I saw an employee.

The administrative staff who first guided me here.

Did you say your name is Rachel?…

“Hello.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Are you here to see the vice principal?”

“yes.”

“That’s good. “The vice principal was inside at that moment.”

“yes.”

“Shall I open it for you?”

“it’s okay. “You can go and do your thing.”

He bowed his head at my words and left.

I stood in front of the door, raised my hand and knocked on the door.

smart.

“Come on in.”

I don’t know who they mistook me for, but I gave permission inside.

When I opened the door and went inside, I saw the vice principal sitting behind the desk shuffling through documents.

“uh? “Isn’t this Raymond Youngsik?”

And when he saw my face, he was a little surprised and quickly got up.

Then, he slowly stretched out his hand and blocked the document from my view.

It’s so clever that it seems like he’s just randomly reaching out to support his body.

When he first met me, he acted leisurely, but now he jumps up as soon as I come in, which is very suspicious.

Perhaps the reason it happened so quickly was to hide the documents.

However, since there is no accurate evidence, we cannot interrogate him.

“What are you doing here…?”

He asked me without taking his hand off the document.

There was a hint of caution in his goat-like voice.

Things I couldn’t see when I first saw him came into view.

And they all looked like they were rotten.

Wealth and power created through the blood and tears of others.

He was alert to his surroundings at all times to protect it.

The only thing that can stop him now is me, who holds the title of son of a count.

A principal who doesn’t appear often but has real power.

‘I’m blocking the principal’s eyes and ears.’

However, the reason the principal left the vice principal alone was probably because there was no evidence to prove his guilt.

All documents addressed to the principal have gone through the vice-principal, and the teachers have been restricted by the vice-principal.

Plus, Mahol is being bullied. The only time the principal sees it is to discipline him and that’s it.

He put his hand behind his back and gestured to Ellis.

When I take the assistant principal to sit on the couch, she will find out what he was trying to cover.

“I have something I would like to ask the vice principal.”

“Oh, I see!”

His face brightened when he saw me smiling brightly.

Because asking for a favor meant receiving something in return.

And when I asked for a favor, the weight was different.

Because I was able to solve most of the problems on my own.

When I asked for it, it was a problem that I couldn’t solve and had to be handled by the assistant principal.

That’s why I like it that way.

Because they have an excuse to rip me off as much as they want using this incident.

“Do you have a car? “I personally like black tea.”

I sat down and leaned back on the sofa. The vice-principal smiled and brought tea and set the cup down in front of me.

“So what are you asking for?”

I took a sip of tea in response to his question.

It had such a luxurious flavor that it felt expensive.

“I happened to see a brother and sister.”

“…I see.”

The assistant principal flinched and slowly nodded.

He hasn’t lost his smile yet.

It was a face that seemed to remind me of someone, but I couldn’t be sure based on what I said.

Surprisingly, there were many cases where siblings or brothers entered the academy together.

“My older brother had an odd physique and my younger brother was sick. Nevertheless, it was good to see people living without losing hope.”

The vice principal’s face became increasingly hard.

“But it was a little strange. I went to the dorm with the thought that I would make a good friend for the first time in a while…”

Now, not even a smile can be found on his face.

“It was so bad that I doubted whether it was the right place to stay. “No, it was more of a lodging area than a garbage dump.”

“….”

The vice principal kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

He just stared at me with a face that seemed to be thinking about something.

“I don’t know why I ended up in such a place, but as a fellow classmate and friend, I couldn’t just sit back and watch.”

“…So what is your business?”

“I want them to move into my quarters.”

“….”

The vice principal tapped the table with his fingertips.

He looked confused as to how to accept this.

“It’s not possible. According to school rules, you cannot change accommodation.”

“It’s a school rule… Does that rule also state that students have to live in a garbage dump?”

“That’s…”

The vice principal gritted his teeth at my sarcastic tone.

“What do you want?”

“Um… did I say something difficult? “I think I said earlier that I would move them to my dorm.”

“Accommodation is determined according to class. Although their class is C, they have no talent or skills, so they are no better than that. And above all, once you have chosen accommodation, you cannot move it. “It will only be possible if they upgrade their class, but the promotion exam is still three months away.”

I shook my head very firmly.

“Just….”

“Just?”

“I think it’s possible if you pay a certain amount.”

It was a contradictory statement.

They said it was impossible to move the accommodation because it is run with royal funds, but now they say it is possible if money is paid.

“Vice principal, I didn’t come to fight. It would be great if you could say it simply like now. “Please tell me how much money is needed to move accommodation.”

“haha.”

Is it because we’re talking about money? His face softened and he began to rub his hands.

And then my eyes rolled around and I calculated the amount.

“I think fifty gold per person will do.”

“Fifty gold….”

It was no different from being ripped off. A baron’s son must pay twenty gold to enter the academy.

You have to be a homebrew to earn about 50 gold.

The vice principal tells him to pay twice that amount.

It was clear that it was a burdensome amount even for ordinary nobles.

“Well, it’s not that much money.”

I was not that ordinary nobleman.

I had about a hundred gold pieces, enough money that I wouldn’t mind throwing it to a passing beggar.

The allowance I receive is enough to run a small village for a month.

It occurred to me once again that I was the son of a chaebol.

A chaebol is not just a chaebol.

It accounts for the majority of the kingdom’s taxes.

It’s an enormous conglomerate.

Since I am his son, 100 gold pieces are nothing.

And that amount of money had already been prepared.

To be honest, I thought I would get about 300 gold, but it was smaller than I thought.

I gestured toward Ellis, and she placed the bag containing the gold on the table in front of me and the vice principal.

***

The vice principal was making two ledgers.

One to show the principal and one for yourself.

This was a precious treasure that could not be shown to other employees.

While I was looking at the amount written down in the ledger and feeling satisfied, an uninvited guest came.

Raymond came to visit without any connection.

At first I felt bad. I’m not free enough to just come and see you like this.

But that feeling was relieved by his subsequent words.

‘Please… I’ve had a lot of money to spend recently. ‘That’s good.’

I decided to listen to him by doing him a favor and picking up the pieces.

“…Trash….”

As his words continued, his thoughts became more complicated.

How much did you know before coming here? Could it be that they are trying to exploit my weakness and take something from me?

‘How much money did I invest to get her!’

I had all kinds of random thoughts.

A lot of money had to be spent to get Mahol’s younger sister, Raina.

They took advantage of the administrative staff’s weaknesses and made them stay in a garbage dump.

Eating was also restricted.

They also implicitly spread the message that if you want to move accommodations, you need permission from the vice-principal.

He had to spend his own money to recruit the Iljin, and as a result, the end was in sight.

He was sure that if he did just a little more, Reina would be his.

But one day, Raymond suddenly came and tried to ruin everything.

It seemed like he was just trying to put a spoon on the table he had prepared.

That can’t be possible. So I said no.

They said they couldn’t move it, citing the school rules.

As Raymond continued for a while, the assistant principal’s eyes widened.

Instead of handing them over, he tells them to present the required amount of money.

In some ways, this seemed like a situation that could be beneficial to him.

Come to think of it, Raymond in front of him is the son of a famous magic family who has more money than the subject.

They said they wouldn’t come to fight and that all they had to do was give permission to change accommodations.

So I thought it would be okay to sing it somewhat high.

So I called for a total of 100 gold.

That amount exceeded the amount I had spent to make Raina mine.

Although the money spent so far was a waste, even the losses can be made up for.

It’s better to hand it over with a little profit than to keep Raymond and Chuck, who could become my wallet in the future.

The vice principal thought so.

And the vice principal’s thoughts were not entirely wrong.

The maid he always brought with her carried the money bag and placed it on the table.

The heavy sound woke me up.

“Open it.”

Raymond smiles and gestures. The vice principal grabbed his money bag and looked blankly at Raymond.

‘Amazing, Great!’

I can’t believe I usually carry this much money around. How much money do you have?

I should sing it a little higher.

The vice principal was saddened by the thought that his box was too small and reached into his money bag.

Yellowish coins.

Just looking at it makes my heart feel at ease.

“haha. This is enough. “I will upload the documents to help you move accommodations.”

I felt like we would have a good relationship in the future.

How can you make friends with someone who gives you this amount of money so casually?

‘There will be more I can do in the future.’

My mind was filled with things to do with this money.

The vice principal was imagining what he would do with the gold Raymond gave him.

“Oh, and would you like to see this too?”

As much as you want.

The vice principal looked at what Raymond had presented with joy.

“…!”

And it became rigid in that position.

‘How could that…!’

There was something in his hand that shouldn’t have been there.

I didn’t tell anyone where I hid it, and there was something I was always careful about.

“I discovered this by chance.”

After all, he shouldn’t have had ‘that’.

No, I shouldn’t have come out.

“Where does it hurt? “Your face turned pale.”

Raymond looks like he knows everything.

The assistant principal felt his hand holding the money bag relax as he looked at him with an expression on his face that said he couldn’t hold back his laughter.

“Why are you doing that? Ah… do you know this?”

The vice principal’s secret ledger was in Raymond’s hand.
