How To Survive as a Crazy Prince

aaah!

The Spiral Ice Spear made a roaring sound and was shot toward the target at the fastest speed among all the Ice Spears that had ever been fired.

“I’ll chase you right away!”

I took my seat. I used the boost to strengthen my vision and glared at the destination of the spiral ice spear.

“… … !”

There was Tarius, who noticed the ice spear rushing towards him with a bow in his hand. This counterattack was astonished as if he hadn’t expected it.

Tarius hurriedly twisted his body to avoid it. However, the Spiral Ice Spear did not fully allow it.

The hem of Tarius’ clothes was caught in the rotation of the spiral ice spear, and it was sucked in as if it were being swallowed.

“Keugh… … !!”

Tarius kicked off the ground and twisted his body in the direction the spiral ice spear rotated.

‘He’s quick to judge.’

I couldn’t keep up with the rotation speed of the ice spear, but I avoided being ground as it was. The coat of his uniform had been completely ripped off, and he was rolling on the floor in a shirt.

But that delay is enough.

“Crrr… … !”

Mi-ryung, who changed her limbs into beasts, and I, who used boost, could narrow the distance to the point where it was difficult for him to respond with only delay.

“sh*t!”

Tarius swears and hurriedly shoots an arrow at Mi-ryeong. However, Mi-ryung is not one to be hit by a hastily aimed arrow. And it’s no different for me.

“There is a trap!”

“I know! Okay!”

And our movements, properly sped up, were able to jump out of range before the traps even set off. As long as we locate and gain speed, we are unstoppable.

Mi-ryung and I split left and right and sprinted toward Tarius. Jumping over walls and spurring buildings, he ran without hesitation. And almost simultaneously jumped in front of Tarius.

“Haaa!”

“Kuaaa!!”

Without anyone saying first, we landed behind Tarius.

“Ugh… … ?”

Tarius raised his guard, but when nothing happened, he looked back in bewilderment. and at that moment,

“… … !”

A small crack was heard.

It was the sound of the strings of Tarius’ bow breaking.

“I never thought we were aiming for the same place. I didn’t mean to say anything even if I tore it up.”

“… … I don’t want to be a hunter.”

When I asked with a smile, Mi-ryung replied by turning into a beast. It was a wise choice.

“so. Do you want more, Tarius?”

“… … .”

When I asked, Tarius was silent. After allowing such close range, he lost the weapon called the bow, so there were not many options for him.

“… … no. It is still there.”

However, Tarius shook his head. And he put his hand in his pocket. I draw my dagger,

Caang!

I swung back without looking. A heavy shock was felt.

“Eugene.”

I slightly turned my head.

“Isn’t it cowardly to attack from behind?”

Eugene was standing there, holding a blunt bladed sword.

“Didn’t you know right away anyway?”

“Everyone is trying to kill, surprise, and it’s not even a fuss with that premise. What if I die?”

Annoyed, I turned to Eugene. At that moment, Tarius, who had put his hand in his pocket, tried to pull something out, but he didn’t care.

Taang!

“Ugh… … !”

Along with the gunfire, Tarius’s groan was heard. Soon there was the sound of a thump and a drum falling to the floor.

“I do not forgive crap.”

Looking to the side, Katyusha was standing with a gun pointed at Tarius’ head. Next to him, Dimitri was also floating several ice spears in the air.

“… … Chet.”

Tarius clicked his tongue. And he raised his empty hand. It was a sign of surrender.

“It’s annoying, so after completely disarming them, tie them up with scraps of cloth lying on the floor. I don’t even know if I’m going to self-destruct.”

“… … .”

I hope you don’t make an expression like ‘I thought you understood that far’. I meant it as a joke, but I was genuinely scared.

“… … ha. I had an amazing idiot as a colleague, Eugene.”

I took a deep breath and said.

“I was at least at that point. If I had left them alone, I’m sure a few would have died.”

Eugene answered calmly. The sword was aimed so that it could attack me at any time.

“If that were the case, I would have killed this guy.”

“Did you mean to stop the runaway?”

“Think on your own.”

Eugene replied angrily. Behind her, Katyusha was rummaging through Tarius’ clothes. Memorization, poison, anyway, dangerous things were thrown to the floor endlessly. Even if it is swallowed by a tiger, it is ready to be torn apart.

Rather, is it possible to supply and demand that much here? No matter how rough the inspection is, there is a degree to smuggling. If you were in the military, it would be a sense of enchantment.

As I was thinking about that, something was thrown in front of my feet.

“Listen.”

It was the same blunt-edged sword that Eugene was holding. It wasn’t something that had become dull after a long period of use, but it was something that was created with the premise of training from the beginning.

“Are you giving it?”

“It doesn’t feel good even if I win with the difference in weapons. I didn’t expect to find anything but a dagger like that.”

When I asked as I picked up my sword, Eugene replied sarcastically.

He pretends to be crooked, but he is basically a good guy just like the original. Now I’m used to this kind of Eugene, and I feel relieved. Wyvern or Tarius, you play so differently from the original.

“You are kind, Eugene.”

“… … .”

Eugene’s face rotted at my praise. I began to feel the sincere intent to kill. It was a bit funny, but I thought it would really upset me if I laughed, so I swallowed it clearing my throat.

“hmm. Just kidding. … … Doing this reminds me of the time we met in Saratov.”

“I agree. But it will be different from then.”

Eugene answered calmly and pointed his sword at me. I raised my hand and signaled to my colleagues, who were preparing to react nervously, to stop.

“I want to fight one-on-one here. Please excuse me.”

“… … yes. bad luck.”

“I will quietly cheer you on.”

“I’m nervous… … !”

I faced Eugene. And without anyone saying anything, they moved at the same time.

The screen that reflected Ver and Fromm, who had just been sitting there for a while, was immediately changed to that place when the technologist, who was checking another screen, said, ‘Something great is happening!’. Then, the figures of the prince and Yujin, who had just begun confronting each other with swords, were reflected in front of everyone.

“Ohhh… … ! It’s a showdown between the Crown Prince and Yujin!”

The most exciting thing was the principal, who was constantly restless by Ver’s presence.

“Eugene-kun is a student who entered as a special swordsman. He came from a commoner, but suddenly acquired the magical power of water, and is a student with a bright future. Of course, I can’t reach the crown prince!”

The headmaster excitedly began to explain to the corps commander and the emperor a story he hadn’t asked.

“I think it will be a very good thing if you two use this opportunity to work hard for the future of Sangvis Sangvis! Coincidentally, Eugene-kun’s magical power is also the magical power of water!”

But even so, the principal did not give up and appealed to the student’s excellence until the end.

“You don’t look very friendly.”

“Uh, uh… … .”

However, there was no excuse whatsoever for the corps commander, Alexei’s words. The atmosphere was also renovated and packed to the fullest, but the reaction was unsatisfactory.

‘They said that commoners acquired magical powers by birth… … . There’s no such thing.’

Alexei put his chin on his chin and denied the principal’s words. And I looked at Eugene on the screen.

‘It must have been noble blood in the first place.’

However, among the aristocrats who possessed the magical power of water rising in Alexei’s head, there was no one who could be connected to Eugene.

‘Did they say it was a child from Saratov?’

I remembered what was written in the report on the excellent academic admissions I had been skimming through. His swordsmanship was unprecedented, so he was admitted first, but it was written that caution was required as there was a high probability of becoming an impure element.

‘However, depending on how you use it, it might be a good hand.’

It might be the perfect hand to keep the crown prince in check. Alexei thought.

Kang, Caang!

“… … Suck!”

Kagagakak… … ! keying!

Their swords rubbed against each other so intensely that sparks erupted.

“You’ve changed a lot in that time, Eugene.”

I said, widening the distance with a recoil. Eugene was staring at me while holding a sword in a position I had never seen before.

“What the hell is that posture?”

“You talk a lot about fighting.”

At the same time as the answer, Eugene’s sword flew in a strange trajectory. I evaded with minimal movement and then counterattacked.

“Haa!!”

As if expecting a counterattack, Eugene skillfully evaded it and continued the low attack that followed from that action. I threw my body off balance until I was about to fall.

“Oops.”

And eventually, his balance was shaken and he took a slight backward step. Fortunately, Eugene didn’t get attacked because he hadn’t adjusted his posture.

“Bah, that just… … Movement of the beastman?”

It was Dimitri who answered the question of what posture.

“Oh, is that so? I thought it was a strangely familiar movement, but… … .”

“I am using my body’s flexibility and elasticity to the limit. Even if it is slightly different, that is definitely the movement of a beastman.”

It is Dimitri-like to know better than the beastmen.

‘I didn’t expect it, but did you bring the skills of a beastman? Now the style of the original has been completely abandoned.’

This time, I thought as I looked at Eugene, who was taking a similar pose to Mustafa.

Eugene’s swordsmanship has changed from an orthodox swordsmanship refined to the limit of the original work to an extreme imitation that greedily swallows all techniques.

No, he may have already escaped the frame of swordsmanship. Eugene’s movements were something indescribable, devouring every skill he saw, whether it was swordsmanship or not.

‘In a way, it might be more suitable for the main character.’

What made it possible would surely be the overwhelming talent that only the main character could possess.

‘As the tragic villain of the original, I can’t even imitate it.’

it wasn’t there for me But even more so,

‘I don’t like it.’

I want to trample it thoroughly.

“Eugene. Do you know what body electricity is?”

I drew my sword and said. Eugene didn’t answer.

“Very weak electricity flows through the human body.”

I took it as meaning I don’t know (if you think about it coldly, of course I don’t know) and explained briefly.

“I can strengthen the body by slightly amplifying it with the magical power of the thunderbolt. Let’s call it a boost.”

I said, passing electricity through the tip of my outstretched finger.

“Right.”

Eugene answered moderately as if it was okay.

“However, I don’t like using it alone when you’re not using it.”

“… … Even using the magic of water would be suicidal. There is no particular reason.”

“It’s true that I don’t like it anyway.”

I turned off the electricity that was crackling at my fingertips.

“So, from now on, I will fight purely using swordsmanship.”

And then, the weak current that was flowing through his body——the boost was also completely cancelled.
