A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

053. classroom for kids

Monday evening of the week after the academy experience class ends.

A loud voice echoed from a corner of the indoor gym.

“Damn it! One more time!”

Locke stood up again, holding the turquoise magic sword.

Then he rushed at Trine again.

“It’s so obvious!”

Trine blocked Locke’s sword strike with the wooden sword he held in his left hand, then tripped him and knocked him down.

Eventually, Locke fell to the floor again,

Trine looked down at him and imitated Master Elford.

“Give up. I guess you have no talent.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Locke stood up again and attacked.

Then Pyrrol and Sia, who were lying in ruins nearby, muttered.

“Is Senior Trine a monster? He’s been fine with us even though he’s been dealing with us for three hours already.”

“When the senior trains alone, there are times when he swings for more than five hours.”

A magic swordsmanship class scheduled to be held twice a week.

It really started when Instructor Elroy arbitrarily reported to the principal.

Trine used a trick to prevent too many kids from crowding around.

The condition was that only ‘those who can summon a magic sword’ would be allowed to participate.

So at first, I thought I would just have to teach Locke.

But for some reason, Pyrrhol already knew the magic sword spell.

Princess Xia even practiced hard for a day and confidently succeeded.

Even though the number of participants ended up being three,

Trine had to suffer from a slight loss of his identity.

I’ve always thought that magic swords were my specialty.

“Sir, there’s one thing I really don’t understand.”

Pyrrhol controlled his pink magic sword and made it dance gently above his head.

“You can control the magic sword freely without touching it, right? Why do you want to fight with it in your hand?”

Then Trine and Locke shouted at the same time.

“A sword can only be called a sword when it becomes one with the body!”

“If you don’t know, you’re out!”

Then Pyrrhol frowned and spoke to Sia.

“I’m just going to change targets.”

“Huh? Are you sure you’re going to betray me?”

“Oh, no, I was just whining.”

In the end, when even Locke ran out of stamina and could not stand up, Trine took a deep breath and said.

“Okay. So shall we stop here for today?”

Then Sia suddenly stood up, holding her azure magic sword.

“Sir, am I still fine?”

Then Trine glared at Sia with resentment and asked.

“Have you been so shamelessly pretending to have collapsed all this time to preserve your stamina?”

“If I hit my senior with a sword even once, how about a date on the weekend?”

At those words, Pyrrhol also stood up and grabbed the magic sword.

“I will participate in that bet too~”

Locke also suddenly stood up and shouted.

“Me too! If I win, give me special training on the weekend!”

Trine sighed in annoyance.

But he didn’t seem that upset.

“Okay. I’ll give you just five minutes.”

Only then did Trine summon his magic sword and take a proper stance.

“Instead, if all three fail, they all do five laps of the gym.”

… In the end, five minutes later, the three people who fearlessly challenged Trine had to run on the gym track.

As Trine sat down and was panting, a voice came out of his head.

‘Even though it’s annoying, I’m dealing with you properly in the end, right?’

“…It’s just that I feel like I know Master Elford’s feelings.”

Then this time, two other voices were heard.

‘Trine, you never know when something might happen, so don’t waste too much stamina.’

‘Don’t pay attention to what that woman says. Don’t you think I’m overprotective too?’

‘Could you please not interrupt?’

‘I guess there wasn’t a clause in the contract telling you to keep your mouth shut?’

… Last night, Trine, Yumano Shin, and the Nameless Demon finally made a contract with each other.

One, three people are prohibited from interfering or fighting other than talking to each other.

Second, gods and devils must not touch Trine’s daily life.

Third, Trine does not reveal anything about God and the Devil to others.

This contract is valid until the ongoing plot of other demonic forces is stopped.

“Anyway, do you two really plan to stay inside me forever?”

‘I will never go out until that devil goes out.’

‘It seems like this guy named God doesn’t have much to do.’

‘I’ll give it back to you exactly as it was said, you devil, a nuisance in the corner.’

‘Don’t you think it’s better for you if I’m lazy?’

Trine sighed and responded to the now familiar bickering between the two.

“Aren’t you guys actually on good terms?”

Then there was an uproar inside.

‘Such blasphemous sounds! Don’t say that, even as a joke!’

‘Oh, it’s been thousands of years since I heard such an insult!’

“Yes, yes, I was wrong.”

Yumano Shin cleared his throat once and then continued speaking.

‘Anyway, be careful. There may be people around who are already possessed by the devil.’

At that time, Barbara entered the gym and ran straight to Trine.

“Trine! Have you seen Lisbeth?”

“I didn’t see you. What’s going on?”

“We promised to meet together, but for some reason I can’t even contact you.”

“That’s unfortunate. There’s no way he would break his promise.”

At that time, a liaison bird flew to Barbara and chirped in Lillian’s voice.

“Barbara, have you seen Narsha by any chance? I couldn’t contact her for some reason.”

Before the words were finished, another liaison bird flew towards Trine.

And then he urgently shouted in Ziz’s voice.

“Trine! Sa-save me! Kwaaah!”

… Trine and Barbara exchanged glances for a moment, then

I immediately started running towards the outside of the gym.

“What the hell happened!”

“I don’t know!”

“Could it be the work of demons?”

“Demons?”

“I’ll explain later! I’ll go to the dorm first!”

“I’m in the teacher’s office! I’ll try to contact the other kids too!”

After breaking up with Barbara, Trine immediately ran towards the dormitory.

However, as soon as he entered the dormitory, several people suddenly rushed at Trine.

“W-what!”

“Stay calm!”

Trine was dragged to the back yard of the dormitory with both arms and legs grabbed.

Trine, pushed against the wall, was surrounded by four students and bitten by them.

“What the hell are you guys?”

Then the bald male senior answered.

“We are the alchemy special activities club.”

“What do you have to do with me?”

“I’ll tell you straight. Come join our department.”

“…yes?”

The bald senior said, forcing his face towards Trine.

“You know that there will be a special activities club competition at the festival next week, right?”

‘Ah yes… “

“So, I’d like you to come in and be of help.”

Trine frowned at those words.

“No, why are you doing this now instead of suggesting it in the first semester?”

Then the senior shouted, spitting on Trine’s face.

“You guys from the knight department were away during the special activity club recruitment period to look for Princess Xia!”

“…Ah! I did.”

“In the first place, do you know the school rule that says you must join the special activities club?”

“W-was that so?”

“So now all the departments are trying to take you first year knight majors.”

Only then did Trine realize the current situation and sigh briefly.

Why all of my classmates suddenly disappeared at once.

That was because each person was taken to a different special investigation department.

“Anyway, why is the alchemy department recommending this to me? I’m not an expert in that field?”

Then the senior took a step back and said.

“Actually, what we’re interested in is not you, but prodigy Cat.”

“…If that is the reason, I will refuse.

“You can’t do that.”

The students approached Trine one step at a time as if threatening him.

A bald senior held out a membership application.

“I won’t let you go until you sign this.”

Trine glared at his senior for a moment, then muttered with resignation.

“Okay, well, we’re going to have to go somewhere anyway.”

It was then.

In the distance, someone shouted loudly through a loudspeaker.

“Stop moving there!”

Then the alchemy club students began to panic.

“Don’t you know that the special activities department’s forced recommendation violates Article 12, Paragraph 7 of the school regulations?”

In the end, the bald senior clicked his tongue and shouted.

“Everyone run away! Even if you get caught, don’t ever mention my father’s name!”

In the end, the students dispersed in an instant.

However, before Trine had time to catch his breath, other students came rushing in.

The tallest girl among them, with short hair, thrust a loudspeaker in front of Trine’s nose.

“Are you okay? Didn’t they do something strange?”

Trine responded, covering his ears.

“Oh, yes. Thank you.”

The female student lowered the loudspeaker and looked Trine up and down for a moment.

“You are Trine.”

“Yes, sir, what is your name?”

“What? Are you really asking this?”

“Oh, yes, sorry, but isn’t this our first time together?”

At those words, the female student put her mouth to the loudspeaker again and shouted with all her might.

“Do you want to die? Academy students don’t even know the student council president’s face!”

“Huh? No, over there-”

“They even sent a letter of recommendation to the student council during the first semester! It’s gutsy of you to ignore that!”

“I’m sorry, but I’ve never received anything like that…”

At that time, a memory suddenly appeared in Trine’s mind.

Apparently there was something resembling a letter.

However, it was mixed in with dozens of tea party invitations,

I didn’t even have a chance to read it because Lisbeth tore it all up.

… Trine swallowed his saliva once and then carefully opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry. I guess I was so distracted at the time that I forgot to reply.”

Then the girl took a deep breath.

Then he shouted loudly into the loudspeaker.

“School rules! Article 4! Article 3! The student council’s instructions have the same authority as the instructor’s instructions!”

In the end, Trine had to listen to terrible nagging in a standing position for nearly an hour.
