I Became an Academy Baldo User

Nanga (1)

“Did you and I have some work left to do?”

Leaving behind the fainted Hori, he approached Peter, who was still on the floor and couldn’t get up.

Peter didn’t struggle or get up, his eyes closed as if he had resigned, waiting for me to come.

And as I stood right next to him, Peter opened his eyes and said to me.

“Kill it.”

“no.”

I don’t know if it’s just finished in the duel line, but if I really kill him, Marina will definitely do anything to get me out of the academy.

And, above all, there was only one person, Peter, who could correct the abusive rumors that pervaded the academy.

“I don’t need the neck of a dying old man. What I want more than that is to correct the rumors you spread.”

Decision-making

Just as the saying goes that the person who tied the knot must untie it, rumors must also be unraveled by the person who caused the rumor.

“… Do you really think I spread that rumor?!”

“It doesn’t matter if you spread it or not.”

Knowing that false rumors about you have been spread, but not correcting them, is the same as agreeing with spreading the rumors.

Even more so if it was a rumor that was beneficial to him.

“I didn’t even have a chance to correct the rumors with my mouth because I was on probation.”

“therefore… Do you mean to stand at the Academy Square and shout at me now that I actually lost?”

“No, that’s just not enough.”

I whispered into Peter’s ear what he had been thinking before coming here.

“… … Do you want me to do that?”

Then, Peter distorted his expression even worse than when the side effects of the potion came.

“What are you so surprised about? Isn’t that enough to correct the rumors spreading around the academy?!”

He was spreading false rumors that the loser dared to win over Baldosul.

In the original case, all the skins should have been peeled off, hung on a spear, and the criminal’s guilt should be engraved on the peeled leather to apologize.

I only looked at it to this extent, but I deserved to be grateful.

“Are you crazy… ! If I did that, Dean Marina wouldn’t stand still… !!”

“That’s my job. It’s not up to you.”

Still, it’s nice to see that Icewrap Bitch getting involved in a duel, but it’s good if you’re trying to get in the way.

“still… !! Still can’t do it!!”

Peter’s body, which had not trembled even when he thought I was about to kill him earlier, was trembling.

“my… ! It’s a matter of our family’s honor!! I’d rather die than die. I can’t do that!”

“It’s not funny… . What, honor? Is it an act of honor to refuse a legitimate request made by the winner of a duel for his own honor?”

“So with my life… !!”

“I am the winner of this duel. I am not the one who can decide what to ask for.”

When I said that, even the most shameless political knight, Peter, clenched his teeth as if resentful that he had nothing to say.

“You are the one who accepted the duel and the one who lost the duel. But when you lose, you don’t want to listen because you and your family’s status is going down?”

“That, that… !!”

“If it had been the other way around, this conversation would not have even started. My head is blown away and you’re just going back to the academy.”

It was absurd for me to lose to someone who barely lifts a hammer, but I risked my life as well.

It means that there is only one thing for everyone, and if you lose, everything ends. It’s worse than that, but you fought for something precious.

“But you can’t just listen to the demands of the victor who risked his life for the honor of himself and his family?”

“… … .”

“I am truly disappointed. I feel like I want to cancel the statement that I wrote a political article in the duel application form.”

A political article is at least a knight, and Peter today was not even such a knight.

No matter how much the article says it’s backwards compatible with the warrior, isn’t this too much?

Peter’s face, which had looked like he had been resentful before, was now contorted with shame.

Watching the scene, I walked towards the fainted Hori with a satisfied smile inside.

“Whether you follow my demands or not, do as you please. Now I don’t expect anything from you.”

With those words, I went back to the place where Silence was waiting, without a single glance at Peter, carrying the fainted Hori.

No words came out of Peter’s mouth during the brief time he took his hori and returned to Silence.

*****

After leaving the lakeside, we were able to come to a place where we could see the academy with our own eyes at dawn.

As the orange sun rose over the horizon, I stopped at a suitable meadow to give Silence a break.

At that time, the hori loaded behind Silence was lowered so that Silence could rest more comfortably.

“Ugh… !”

Hori, who had fainted as if falling asleep, woke up and met my eyes as I lowered the Hori.

“Mr. Ian… ? What happened… .”

“I do not remember?”

Hori, who had just woken up, closed her mouth as if thinking for a moment, then covered her head as if thinking about it.

“Mr. Ian!! Woman, are you a warrior who worships chivalry even after hitting a woman!!”

“Don’t get me wrong. What I admire is not the same as a knight, but a samurai.”

“Wow, is it okay? what is that?”

“Well… What is it?”

If I had to define it, it could be said that it was a virtue that a samurai had to keep, but that’s probably not the explanation Hori wants.

If we dig deeper, the meaning of Musado has changed over time and it has also changed according to individual thought, so it is impossible to define anything.

Because some crazy human even said, ‘The samurai is to die.’

“… It’s different for each person, but for me, being a samurai means never putting up with insults.”

“An insult?”

“Yeah, an insult.”

It must be true, no matter who it is, if anyone insults and defiles Baldo. no matter who it is

that’s my samurai

However, there are some ignorant people in the world who do not know what Baldo is, so he mercifully looked after him three times.

If it was someone who insulted me knowingly, I’d just cut him off.

“Then why did you hit me if I didn’t insult you!!”

“uh… Are you talking crazy?”

“It’s not crazy!! When did you say I was crazy?!”

Crazy people say they don’t realize they’re crazy, but Hori was just like that.

“A drug that has no side effects has side effects for insignificant reasons… No, no side effects. Isn’t it crazy to add a weird penalty?”

“How is that?! It’s cool, fair, and even romantic!! Is Ian a person who doesn’t understand romance?!”

“It’s not that I don’t understand romance.”

I’m not that kind of person, but it’s understandable to have a desire for something inefficient.

But if someone completely unrelated to the romance dies because of that romance, it was a different story.

“Even if someone dies because of that drug, do you want to keep making those drugs?”

“What’s wrong with someone dying?”

“What?”

Hori continued to say when she was taken aback by Hori’s so imposing attitude.

“My father and I were informed enough that the drugs they sold had side effects.”

“… I guess I didn’t hear enough?”

“Uh, I did reveal that there are side effects anyway! But doesn’t that mean that I accepted all the side effects to use the medicine I made?”

“It is, but… .”

“And I’m not even an unrelated person. It is the user who receives the side effects, but it is also the user who sees the effect at the same time.”

A person who takes Hori’s medicine must be someone who has the strength to gain even if there are side effects.

Then, Hori said, a third party has no right to dare to say this and that about an issue that both the producer and the user have agreed upon.

“But if they had known that there was a drug that had no side effects or had far fewer side effects, wouldn’t they have chosen the drug rather than the drug with side effects?”

“I want to get stronger easily, but I don’t want to take the risks that come with it… . I don’t want to sell drugs to such a pathetic person.”

In Hori’s eyes, who was decisively declaring that, there was something like a belief that, although wrong, would never be broken.

No matter how many times we talked about this matter, it seemed impossible to change Hori’s mind.

It’s a little different from my case of rational belief, but even if it’s me, if someone suddenly tells me to give up Baldo, I’ll kill it right away.

“there… Mr. Ian… .”

“why?”

When the argument was over, Hori asked me with a restless look.

“that… It’s a bit strange to ask after having a conversation like that… Are you going to stop taking the potions or medicines I made?”

“No, I will eat it from now on, so bring it often.”

Through the side effects, I could barely see my own helplessness, which had been deprived of my freedom of footwork due to pain.

Even if his whole body was on fire, he could only be called a true baldoist if he was able to skillfully use his feet.

“Your medicine seems to be perfect for training, so you can bring it often. If the production cost is high, it’s okay to just bring poisonous herbs… .”

“No, it doesn’t matter. Will you only drink it for training? Or that… Even when I meet a strong enemy… .”

“In that case, of course you should. I tend to write everything I can. However… .”

How many opponents can I have to take medicine to win?

Unfortunately, it is very unlikely that the medicine Hori made will see the light in the direction Hori wants.

Even though I was crazy about it, but a wise Hori would know it, she showed me a little tear and said with joy.

“Go, thank you! I’m so glad I met Ian at that time!!”

“So do I… . I would have been happier if you were just a little more normal.”

After that, we rested for a while and returned to the academy with Silence without a hitch.

So a few days later.

After a long and hard time, the long-awaited news has arrived.

[Completed. As soon as you see this letter, come to the smithy.]
