I Became The Academy's Narrow-Eyes

27 – 100 points

“Hey, Ms… ?”

Aidrin, who recovered from the shock relatively quickly, cautiously called out to Miz.

“… ?”

Miz looked at her, still in shock.

“That, the footsteps you showed me just now. Is that right?”

“What do you mean?”

“Ceylon did it right… ? And, is it really easy to follow like that?”

under.

Miz burst out laughing.

“Hey, hey. Miss Aedrin. With what kind of eyes are you looking at Baurer’s sword? How does the lady look? Do you think it’s the right thing for such an idiot to be able to follow at a glance?”

“uh!? Ah, no- I didn’t mean that in that sense-“

“Jokes, jokes. I know what you meant. I also momentarily thought, ‘Huh? Actually, it’s not a big deal to draw a skin, is it?’”

Miz looked at Ceylon in a rather serious mood.

“Hey fool. No, Ceylon. say. What the hell happened.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your guy’s skin drawing isn’t just imitation.”

If you simply imitate the appearance, it might be possible somehow.

“However, drawing your skin clearly contained the technique of our Bauer sword. Did you learn that just by looking at the skin drawing once? impossible. absolutely impossible. There are only two possibilities.”

Mead held out both hands with index fingers raised.

“In that case, don’t you usually lift your index and middle fingers from one hand?”

“How is it, is it cool? I developed it.”

“too… It’s so innovative and so cool that my hands are shaking. me too… Can I use it later?”

“envoy.”

Miz folded the index finger of her left hand.

“One possibility. The possibility that you are a genius with ridiculous talents.”

“Oh, I like that. Shall we do that?”

“Of course, it’s nonsense, Your Excellency.”

“Hey~ I’m sorry.”

Miz folded the index finger of her right hand.

“Another possibility. Chances are you already know about Bower’s sword. To be honest, I’m almost certain this way.”

Aidrin exclaimed “Huh!?”

Certainly, if Ceylon had previously acquired Bower’s sword, all of that would be explained.

No, there is no other explanation.

“So, I have to explain. Ceylon. How the hell do you know about Bower’s sword?”

Ceylon put a finger to his mouth.

The eyes, narrow eyes, and the corners of the mouth draw arcs all at once.

What he said after creating such a meaningful smile.

It’s a secret.

“—I don’t think it’s an atmosphere that can be evasive. No matter how much Miss Aedrin disregards it, Bauer’s sword is definitely the Bower family’s proud arcane swordsmanship.”

“to? to? what? I?”

“I know you well. Even if Bauer’s sword is a lowly and insignificant swordsmanship in the eyes of Lady Aidrin, it is our family’s secret swordsmanship.”

“Eh? No, why me… ”

Aidrin got caught in the middle and pouted.

“So, as a descendant of the Bower family, I have a duty to know how you acquired the Bower sword. Remember, depending on your answer, I might have to be a bad girl. She is going to become a very deadly and ferocious villainess.”

Wow.

His attitude was playful, but the sight of him placing his hand on the long sword hanging from his waist created sharp tension.

“Uh, uh… ”

Aidrin didn’t know what to do, but moved her feet cautiously.

As he got closer to Ceylon, he quietly stood facing Miz.

To be able to deal with her whenever she runs into it.

“Hmm~ This is embarrassing.”

Another kind of smile appeared on Ceylon’s face.

It was a servile bitter laugh.

“Now that this has happened, I think I have no choice but to talk about it. Because this is a story I really wanted to keep a secret.”

However, at the words that followed, that servile bitter smile seemed meaningful at first glance.

Miz took a step backwards involuntarily.

It’s just that his identity has become unfathomable, and I never thought that his light atmosphere would come so reluctantly.

“Miss Ms., could you come closer instead of moving away? It’s going to be a pretty secret story.”

“…Now, there is no one here other than us who will listen.”

Ceylon raised his index finger and pointed up.

Are you referring to the officials who will be watching the exam?

It’s a story that even the academy staff shouldn’t know about.

What the hell is this about?

Regret overtook me later along with the ominous.

Could it be that he touched something he shouldn’t have touched?

Miz hesitated but slowly approached him.

This is inside the barrier, and the academy instructors are watching.

What you worry about won’t happen.

He encouraged himself by reciting the words several times in his mind.

“Hmm? Miss Aedrin why-“

“What. What! I can’t hear it!? It’s something you can’t tell me!?”

Ceylon shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth at the sight of Aidrin getting angry but cautiously paying attention.

Aidrin and Miz felt his mouth move very slowly.

A suffocating tension as if time is passing slowly.

Soon, unbelievable words came out of his mouth.

“In fact, my record in the second test is the 0th squad, surpassing Lord Drin and Sir Kasha.”

“…?”

“…?”

It’s an unbelievable story, but contrary to expectations, it was a heartbreaking story.

I thought a great story would start by rhyming with the words ‘Actually, my identity is-‘.

Aidrin and Miz looked at Ceylon’s expression.

room room.

Just as if the ominous and meaningful atmosphere from before had been a mirage, his mood suddenly became lighter as usual, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

Is it because of my mood?

His sloppy expression seemed to be enjoying themselves seeing their rigid appearance.

Aidrin’s and Miz’s expressions crumpled at the same time.

“What is that? Did you put so much weight just to talk about it?”

“Are you kidding me?”

“Ahhh~ The reaction was a bit different from what I expected- no, I expected?”

under.

Aidrin sighed and shook her head.

“So, what the hell are you talking about? Actually, your second test record is the 0th squad that surpassed Sir Drin and Sir Kasha?”

Aidrin, who continued to speak, widened her eyes.

“You can’t—you’re not trying to talk about that stupid romance in this situation!?”

“romance?

“hahahaha, no way. Miss Aedrin. Now I’m serious enough that I’m no longer there? Of course, it’s true that I talked about romance seriously.”

“What romance?”

“Ah, Ms. Do you know anything about romance?”

“Ah! Noisy, noisy! Ceylon! Keep talking! Your second test record is right in the 0th squad. What are you talking about all of a sudden? Why are you talking about that now?”

“Come to think of it- Hey idiot. I must have asked you how you acquired Bauer’s sword. Turn the word around?”

Two pairs of gazes, demanding an explanation, stuck to Ceylon.

Ceylon continued the story while smiling contentedly at the two people who had completely disappeared from their shyness.

The hidden behind-the-scenes of the second exam was told to two people.

In fact, his record is in the 0th squad, and he really surpassed Drin and Kasha.

All of that was thanks to the ‘talent of assassination’.

Officer Sinia covered the case as a favor because she was worried that it would be controversial if her talent for assassination was revealed in the academy test.

“You really surpassed the sutra given to Sir Kasha…?”

“A talent for assassination…?”

Aidrin and Miz reacted in amazement beyond disbelief.

“That’s right. Instructor Cynia was concerned that if my assassination talent was revealed in the entrance exam, I would get into trouble, so he advised me to hide my assassination talent as much as possible. Originally, I was going to follow that recommendation as well. In fact, I was warned that it wouldn’t matter as long as I entered the academy, but- I suddenly became greedy.”

“greed?”

“That’s right. It’s the desire to get the highest grade possible, even at the cost of getting involved in complicated things.”

Ceylon laughed bitterly as he looked at Aidrin and Miz in turn.

“Looking at this, my position is already complicated enough?”

It was as Ceylon said.

Now, rumors about Ceylon among the participants have been inflated and distorted, and he has become a reprehensible cloth who tried to surpass Kasha and Drin’s grades through cheating before he knew it.

Garbage that tried to stand on top of the nobles’ pride, Lee Bringer and Kasha Hanahan, through cheating.

A commoner who surpassed Rebringer and Kasha Hanahan with his assassination talent.

Both reputations could be seen there.

From some point of view, the latter was even better.

From garbage without power or anything, I’ll treat it as garbage with at least power.

“So, since I’ve already become garbage. I wanted to become even a little better garbage. In the meantime-“

Ceylon looked at Miz.

“Miss Miz appeared in front of me like fate.”

“What is that lyrical expression? Are you flirting with me right now?”

“That, can’t it be? Miz. Let’s keep listening to the story for now.”

Aidrin, somehow embarrassed, urged her story.

“The moment I saw Miss Miz of the Bower family, I thought of Bower’s sword. The moment I thought of Bower’s sword, I remembered that Bower’s sword is a swordsmanship combined with assassination. So I thought. Wouldn’t I realize something if I, who was gifted with talent, saw Bower’s sword combined with assassination?”

Wouldn’t it be possible to unleash the talent of assassination with swordsmanship?

right!

Ceylon snapped his fingers.

“The result, as you can see, was a win.”

After organizing the words in her head, Miz tilted her head.

“So what you’re saying is, you really only saw my move once and you learned the tricks behind Bauer’s sword. That’s purely thanks to your talent for assassination. This is it.”

“Exactly.”

It wasn’t a story that made no sense at all.

Bower’s sword was originally a swordsmanship that was forged and improved by an assassin.

“Hey fool, how likely are you that I’ll believe you?”

“First of all, Miss Aedrin is 100%!”

“Eh? Me?”

“I see. The Teln lady has a dirty corner.”

“No, why me…”

“Anyway, idiot. Now you know. What nonsense you’ve been talking about.”

This idiotic man has recorded a great record, beating the Leebringer and Kasha Hanahan.

And that’s all thanks to the natural assassin’s talent.

It’s an unbelievable story.

“The problem is, the story is so absurd that it’s rather convincing. No matter how stupid you are, you wouldn’t have put a second test to check whether it’s true right away in a lie to deceive others. More than anything, you dared to Uh, I wouldn’t have sold the names of Han, Han, and Iron Wall. So, I can’t believe what you’re saying. For now, I’ll just let it go.”

ruler.

so.

“A fool who had a self-proclaimed talent for assassination but devoted himself to swordsmanship. What did you realize when you saw our Bower sword?”

Miz’s emotionless eyes lit up.

sh*t.

Ceylon drew a refreshing smile.

“As I expected, I realized that Bower’s sword was the perfect vehicle for my swordsmanship to manifest. And-“

“and?”

“I realized that Bower’s sword is very good swordsmanship.”

“Excellent swordsmanship. Bauer’s sword is neither assassination nor swordsmanship. It is a sword without foundation.”

There was not even a hint of self-deprecation in her manner of speaking.

Bauer’s contempt and discrimination toward the sword had already become a matter of course beyond what was familiar to her.

“To a man without the foundation who walks the path of swordsmanship, who is born with the talent of an assassin, a sword without the foundation that is neither assassination nor swordsmanship. Isn’t it the best?”

By the way, this stupid man now.

This man, who was talking nonsense that he had a talent that surpassed Rebringer and Hanahan, was talking about Bower’s sword.

“In this test, I will raise the status of Bauer’s sword together with Master.”

chuck.

Miz gave him a thumbs up.

“100 points.”

At this moment, Ceylon had fully mastered Bower’s sword.

It was the moment when he had the means and justification to freely unleash his assassination talent.
