Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 43
Episode 43:
After the principal started touring the academy, a lot of things changed.
The biggest change is that the members of the academy have been uprooted.
In reality, that was impossible.
But the principal made it possible.
What the group did because of Mahol reached the principal’s ears.
The principal didn’t miss it.
He visited those groups, found out about the entire group, and with that, suspended all of them.
In addition, small compensation was given to the victims to silence them.
‘You’re pretty good at your job, right?’
The most impressive thing was that all of these issues were resolved very quietly within a short period of one week.
It was only when a notice was posted on the bulletin board that I found out that all of the students had been suspended.
The principal did not even leave the teachers alone, using this as an excuse.
I tried to look for corruption in them, but strangely, nothing came out.
That’s really strange.
Looking at the fact that despite neglecting the Mahol siblings like that, nothing has come out of scratching them.
‘It’s the work of a wild dog.’
An underworld organization with outstanding capabilities in information management helped launder the teachers’ identities.
Under the leadership of the vice principal, the personal safety of those who sympathized with the vice principal was properly protected.
On the other hand, there were also things that were not like that.
“Oh, it’s unfair! “I never did that!”
Teachers who had not committed any wrongdoing were unfairly disciplined.
Corruption that should have been committed among the vice principal was discovered among them.
The principal didn’t have the ability to dig that deep, so he just trusted what he could see and dealt with it.
It couldn’t help but be ironic.
Iljin handled it so well.
The problem with teachers is that they act like blind people.
‘I guess I’ve held on until now because the vice principal is good at that.’
It wasn’t because the vice principal acted too cautiously.
Even if I tried to look for something, there was no way I could find it since I had already sorted it out.
The principal’s actions that upset the relationship between the students and the teachers did not end there.
“Raymond. “The principal is calling.”
“All right.”
I started calling the cadets one by one and interviewing them.
With over hundreds of cadets, the principal spent 10 minutes on each one.
Yesterday, Mahol and Reina interviewed him.
‘I said the principal said he was sorry.’
I’m sorry I couldn’t solve it because I didn’t know about it sooner.
The principal apologized several times and said he would do his best to help me during my remaining time at the academy.
Just looking at that, he seems like a good person.
“What on earth are you thinking?”
What on earth are you thinking?
I began to wonder if the reason they were so nice to Mahol and Raina was because of me.
I wonder if they are trying to become closer to me somehow because they know I am a millennial.
“principal. “Raymond is here.”
“Oh, let me in.”
A gentle voice came from inside.
The teacher who brought me opened the door and told me I could go in.
As I followed those words and went inside, I was greeted by a different scene from the vice principal’s room.
This is what I felt as soon as I entered.
‘Why is it so lush?’
It was a space so thick with trees and bushes that I thought for a moment that this was a forest.
From space expansion magic to environmental control magic.
There were more than a dozen types of magic contained in this room.
What was even more surprising was that the branches moved according to the principal’s hand gestures like living creatures.
“Come and sit here.”
The principal motioned to the person across from him.
The leaves were gathered together to make a chair.
“It seems very interesting, doesn’t it?”
I nodded. It was amazing.
How much money was invested to create a space like this?
“It must have cost a lot of money.”
“Ah… I guess that was the interesting thing.”
The principal laughed heartily.
I sat down on the leaf chair he gave me.
“Oh…”
The cushioning was so good that I couldn’t help but wonder.
It almost made me want to buy one.
I leaned against the backrest, which felt soft and refreshing.
“So why did you call me?”
“I have some questions.”
The principal tapped his fingers as if looking at the documents in front of me.
“Looking here. It says you helped the Mahols. “I even heard it myself.”
“So. “Is there a problem?”
His voice was closer to an interrogation than a question, and my tone naturally became sharper.
“no no. No problem. Not without it. Rather, it is something to be said to be magnificent.”
“Then why did you bring that up?”
“I’m curious about your intentions.”
the principal asked.
Why did you help me?
It’s strange that the count’s son came here, but it’s also strange that you helped those who were just commoners.
‘Is it because of the rumors again?’
It seems that the rumor that he was a bastard aroused suspicion in the principal.
No, that wasn’t all.
The earl’s son.
Because of my position, it felt strange to be helping commoners who could not get anything.
Nobles are generally arrogant and think commoners are insignificant.
“I was just drawn to it.”
“Because you were attracted?”
“yes. “I just liked Mahol, and I was annoyed by the people who installed it without even knowing the topic.”
“…is that the unit price?”
“What more do you want here?”
The principal fell silent.
Looking into his eyes, I saw that he was quite confused right now.
“It’s different from what you reported. Just looking at the report… Isn’t he a mess now?…”
A muttering sound was heard.
Why on earth do people here like muttering so much?
If I just put it out loud, how good is it?
“Is that what you called me for?”
“uh? iced coffee. yes.”
Only then did the principal nod his head and suddenly come to his senses and stood up.
As I was looking at him, wondering what kind of situation he was doing, he bent down at a right angle.
“Thank you for saving them.”
I never dreamed that I would receive a greeting like this, something that only gangsters would receive.
I even had no idea that the principal would thank him for saving Mahol.
I was taken aback because it was so sudden.
“Oh yeah.”
I also bowed my head.
“Then you can go out now.”
“All right. take care.”
I felt uneasy because it felt like it ended too abruptly.
I scratched the back of my head and left the principal’s room.
***
Academy holidays.
After asking Ellis to take care of Mahol and Reina, he left the academy alone and wandered around the city.
‘It was somewhere around here.’
With vague memories in mind, I entered the alley of the city.
The alley was very dirty and untidy.
Drunk people were vomiting on the walls, and the streets were full of all kinds of dirt and garbage.
After avoiding them, I went inside and found a building.
“Here it is.”
There were quite a few people coming and going in the shabby yet neat tavern.
When I went inside, I saw that most of them were men with ugly faces.
The women were hard to see. If you’re looking for a bartender…
Most of them were men, except for one or two.
‘I’m sure he’s busy doing chores right now.’
As soon as I entered, everyone’s eyes were on me, but I ignored them and went looking for a place where ‘he’ might be.
A corner of a tavern.
‘found!’
I saw a boy bent over and carrying a bottle of alcohol.
He looks to be only about 16 years old, but don’t be fooled by that appearance.
Despite his young appearance, he is in his early thirties.
“I think I’m young. Is it okay to do this here?”
“…?”
I approached and spoke as naturally as possible.
He glanced at me, then ignored me and went about his business.
“It’s tricky. What is your name?”
“…William.”
I smiled at his answer.
I found the right person.
William. The king of information and the king of darkness who will occupy half of the underworld in the future.
‘Now is not the time.’
I was very excited to find him, but I tried to suppress it.
It wasn’t time to do anything to him yet.
For now I was satisfied with confirming his name.
I turned my head and walked towards where the bartender was.
There is something else I have to do.
“Some kind of gisaeng brother has come.”
“Does that thing on your waist look like a toothpick?”
“Fuhahaha! “He’s a man and carries a sword!”
Men laughed at me as I headed towards the bartender.
Didn’t react to them. They know very well the meaning of each and every action they do.
That was some kind of test.
They will see what kind of person I am and if they are unable to overcome their anger and attack me, they will be kicked out of the spot.
That’s the end of it.
They are members of an organization.
Currently, they are talking about whatever they want, but their eyes are watching me sharply.
So just ignore it and pass by.
There was nothing good about my reaction here.
“What would you like to give you?”
As I sat down in front of the bartender, she smiled and spoke to me.
There were still voices laughing at me and I felt eyes on me.
After receiving their attention, I opened my mouth.
“I want to eat strong liquor made from wild dog’s eyes and grilled grasshoppers.”
Silence.
Everyone’s voices disappeared in an instant and even their breathing stopped.
And the thick murderous energy poured out like a wave.
It felt like if I said one more word, he would cut off my head.
The strong drink made from the eyes of a wild dog symbolized a desire to buy information from a wild dog, and the roasted grasshopper symbolized a desire to meet the boss.
A password that only VIPs know.
It was strange that he wasn’t surprised when I said it, seemingly without any knowledge of the world.
The bartender said, trying to smile while being a little embarrassed.
“The food is somewhat insufficient for such a noble person to eat. This time, Ruwanor 32 Year Old came in. What do you think of it and the cow’s belly fat?”
Everyone ate expensive food.
Those words had the meaning of ‘I don’t know where you heard that from, but do it in moderation and get out of the way.’
I make eye contact with her.
“Gold, which people consider precious, can become an insignificant stone depending on who looks at it.”
I’ll take care of my own business, so shut up and lead the way.
The bartender’s smile disappeared and a lifeless expression took its place in my eyes.
Clap clap.
And when she clapped her hands twice, the murderous spirit disappeared and the men returned to the way they were when I came in.
passed the test.
They won’t be against me unless something happens.
“Please come in.”
When she lifted a bottle of alcohol from the closet, the wall opened and a path appeared.
The bartender led me inside.
I walked through the dark basement, relying on only a candlestick.
“A wild dog guest has arrived.”
She spoke to the wall, and the wall opened with a groan.
“You can go inside.”
I could see a staircase beyond the passage.
The entrance to the wild dog’s home base.
If you go a long way inside, there is a room for the members of the organization.
After passing dozens of rooms, the room at the end is where the leader of the wild dogs is.
“Welcome to the wild dog’s basement.”
The bartender opened the door for the head chef, greeted me, and then disappeared.
As I entered the open door, it closed by itself and a candle hanging on the wall caught fire.
“nice to see you. My name is Haori Chuster, the leader of the wild dogs. “Please feel free to call me “Raymond Millennium.”
A man with a scar across his face smiled, showing his yellow teeth.
