Madman in a Fantasy World

97. chomping

There was a brief commotion, but we immediately entered the academy and headed for the meeting room.

“Luke… it’s not that way.”

“Oh yeah?”

“I’m sure it’s been less than a minute since I looked at the map, so how could you get lost like that…”

“But the map here is too tricky to see.”

To be honest, the world map here is nothing but a rough map drawn by an old painter.

As a modern person, I am accustomed to state-of-the-art maps that organize my past lives in an easy-to-see format and automatically guide the way, so it is difficult to see a map drawn on scraps of paper like that.

You don’t tell me where I am in the first place.

Even now, it is strange how people used maps in the past.

“Even so, Luke-sama is too harsh…”

“Hey, but I’m good enough.”

I don’t deny that it’s gilchi.

Well, is there anything bad about not being able to find a way? There’s no need to deny it.

But there are people who are worse than me, and it’s not just me.

“There were often people in the place where I lived who couldn’t even find their own house.”

Still, did I find my house well?

In the first place, I spent more time at home than outside.

“And the academy is too wide. How can I not get lost in this?”

He complained as if he was sorry.

No, you can’t help it. Even if the first building you come to is big, it’s dirty.

I haven’t even memorized the structure of the journal academy where I work yet, so don’t get lost in someone else’s workplace. That’s a more unreasonable request.

Since the academy site was so large, I couldn’t find a conference room. In the first place, there was no way to mark a conference room on a map.

It’s normal to ask people around you when you don’t know the way, but maybe it’s because I’ve done something, when I approach the students, they all run away.

“Kuh~ Isn’t it really quick to hear a rumor?”

When I see something like that, I just think it’s really great.

In this era, there are no smartphones and there is no such thing as a bamboo forest, so how can rumors spread so quickly?

“It would have been nice if that was a good rumor…”

Luna said as if she was tired.

am i not wrong

He got into a fight first.

Rather, this is the victim. You should thank me for being lenient in self-defence.

After looking around the academy like that, I could barely find a sign that said conference room.

In front of the conference room, I didn’t knock… I’d be in last place anyway, so what kind of knock is that?

As soon as I opened the door and went in, I could see the professor and the dean from both sides sitting across a table.

And, of course, I was late for being in their spotlight all at once.

“What you looking at.”

People can be a bit late.

The reason I was late in the first place is because you guys didn’t properly train your character.

“…Who are you?”

The one who spoke in the silence was a woman who looked quite old.

On the other side was Lucia, and if you think that usually people of the same rank sit face to face like this, that person is probably the dean of Zwei Academy.

As for the answer to her question, Lucia, who was sitting across from me, took my place.

“He’s the last professor we’ve been waiting for.”

“…I’m the first person you see?”

“The dean has no choice but to do that. It’s been a while since I invited you as a temporary professor.”

Of course, the other side has no choice but to know me.

I’m not very well-known, and the dean has plenty of time, so I’m going to dig up the opponent’s academy all day.

“Is that person also participating in the contest today?”

“Yes. He’s our ace.”

“You mean the two women in the back?”

“No, Luna-san and Yui-san are not participating.”

In the first place, the number of participants should be proportional to the competition, but I entered the situation without excluding one professor who was originally supposed to be included by Lucia. Adding Luna and Yui to such a situation would make it impossible for the number to match.

“Oh, it doesn’t matter if we participate. Professors, it seems that some of your injuries haven’t fully healed yet.”

In fact, among our professors, there were a few professors who were still not in good shape.

They don’t know how to destroy the last event, because they rolled like crazy and barely escaped right before they died.

There is no way that their serious injuries without a main character buff could have been cured in just a week.

‘The way he speaks is intimidating, no matter who sees it.’

However, the tone of the dean on the other side is full of sarcasm.

If you roughly interpret it, your academy right now is saying that you should give that much handicap.

If you don’t understand this much, you just don’t notice.

When I looked at the other professors, it was noticeable that they couldn’t do anything about it and were just paying attention.

The professors don’t seem to think much of anything, but since the two deans are doing that, they’re only paying attention.

When the two upper heads are fighting, it is always the lower one that bleeds.

“Ugh, you nerd. If you’re going to burn your inferiority complex, you shouldn’t harm others.”

“·······?”

The dean on the other side looked at me with a stupid expression that he had heard wrongly.

“Mr. Luke… can I say that…?”

“What can’t you say?”

Could the dean over there be a god? Will you take away my right to speak?

And even if God comes, he won’t be able to take my voice away.

Even in that anime in the ninja world, Gumi was sealed, but the main character’s snout couldn’t be sealed.

The other dean isn’t my employee, nor is he another important person, so if you’re going to be hostile, do it.

I came here to step on them anyway, not to do anything else.

“”······.””

In an instant, a ray of laughter bloomed in the conference room where silence fell due to my words and actions.

“···foot.”

In a situation where all the professors were in a cold sweat, it was unexpectedly Lucia who had no sense of humor.

Even if both of them are like that, a relationship is a relationship, so I wouldn’t normally be directly sarcastic or ridiculed.

Like I just did, I would have done everything indirectly, but Lucia laughed even in a situation where she shouldn’t have laughed.

“… Hmmm.”

Bernice, who came to his senses belatedly, cleared his throat and returned the atmosphere to normal.

“Anyway, it looks like everyone is here, so please take a seat. Let’s discuss the rules for this duel.”

It is clearly visible on the face. put up with this?

But wouldn’t it be nice to be patient?

You seem to be enduring it with the conviction that you will be able to pay it back soon, but are you guys going to be trampled on like dogs soon?

Well, it doesn’t matter as long as you like it. I was late but confidently sat down in my chair.

For some reason, the chair I was sitting on was next to Lucia, and Lucia whispered to me in a voice that no one else could hear.

“Luke-kun speaks well.”

“is that so?”

I’m not sure.

In my opinion, I was just blowing facts, and if the opponent was a K-netizen, the dean of the opponent would be hanging himself and committing suicide.

K-Netizens’ ignorant malicious comments and swear words are optimized to drive one person crazy with stress and depression.

Laughing at my answer, Lucia turned the topic around and asked a question.

“More than that, why were you late? Professor Dmitri said he saw it on his way.”

“Ah. I killed one of the students on the other side because it annoyed me.”

I almost killed him, to be exact, but I killed the bully no matter what.

It’s just that Angela came and was lucky to live.

“Whoops, your jokes are really bloody. If you can’t tell me why, I won’t bother asking.”

I think it’s a joke. Well, I would believe it if I told you that I had killed a person out of the blue. They say that person is no one, but a student from the other side’s academy.

Rumors from outside can’t even reach the professors gathered in the conference room as soon as they arrive.

Still, you’ll know the truth of my words when you move to a duel later.

I chatted with Lucia for a while.

Following the words of the dean of the university, the topic of gathering professors in the meeting room today became a hot topic.

“The reason we gathered you today is to set the rules for the upcoming duel.”

No, why are you explaining such an important thing on the same day?

The person called the academy dean can’t even wash his eyes to find a plan.

“First of all, I apologize for not telling you such an important matter until today. Originally, the meeting was supposed to be held earlier, but due to the busy professors not being able to meet the schedule and the recent incident at the Journal Academy, we couldn’t do it.”

I would have said

After all, do we have to listen to what people say?

“Before conducting the meeting, the basic rules are taken from the existing competition, but the Journal Academy side takes precedence for additional rules. Please note.”

Afterwards, there was a brief explanation by the dean of the opposing side on how the contest proceeded.

The participating professors are 5 representatives, and it is conducted in a grand battle, blah blah blah.

Then the discussion began in earnest. When someone presents an opinion, opinions for and against are exchanged, and the rules are set one by one.

But do I really need to be here? I have nothing to say.

I just came because I was told to come, something hard and boring like a meeting doesn’t suit my personality.

‘My mouth is boring.’

It’s chewy. You tasted it.

Then, he took out a cookie from his inventory and put it in his mouth.

“How about permitting the use of magic tools in competitive battles? Instead of the clunky way of competing only with power in the past, we can show a variety of strategies…”

“Chew chomp.”

“I’m against that. We deviate from the purpose of the contest to arouse the spirit of improvement by competing with each other’s martial arts, and in that case, depending on the grade of the magic tool…”

“Chew chomp.”

“”······.””

I, who was eating snacks with a bored expression, suddenly became quiet, so I looked around and saw that everyone was looking at me as if they had something to say.

“Ah. Don’t mind me and keep doing what you’re doing.”
