Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 24’s

results are the same.

The exterior of the Academy, which we arrived at over the course of four days, was so splendid that we were impressed.

Gold and silver decorations were placed on the pure white exterior wall, and a statue of the founding king was erected behind the fountain in the center of the academy.

Outside the academy, a huge city surrounded the academy.

Perhaps because there were children of noble families, the security at the gate leading into the city was quite tight.

The guards were so strict that the knights would not have been able to enter if they did not have ID cards with the emblem representing the Millennium Count family.

“Can I come today?”

“I’m sorry!”

The coachman sweated profusely at my words.

Although I said this as a joke, there were so many people in the city that I wondered if I could actually go to the academy today.

Plus, it was so big that it was easy to get lost if you made a mistake.

Fortunately, I was able to witness a miracle thanks to the carriage I was riding in, which at first glance looked like it belonged to a nobleman.

The street where it seemed like I could never move forward was split on both sides by my carriage.

The sight of so many people being separated was nothing short of spectacular in another sense.

I laughed bitterly at the fact that a noble would be a nuisance to others just by moving.

That’s how we arrived at the academy.

“We’ll just head back.”

As I got here, the drivers’ perspectives on me changed slightly.

I bowed my head slightly and entered the academy, leaving behind the knights who were returning to the count’s house.

“Raymond, are you Youngsik?”

“yes.”

“My name is Jamie and I will guide Raymond Youngsik inside. “Please follow me.”

Wearing a dark blue uniform, he had a warm appearance.

With a gentle smile, he led me into the academy.

“That is a place where swordsman club students can train autonomously. “Over there…”

While going inside, he explained every part of the academy.

Despite arriving early in the morning, a large number of students were gathered in the training area and classroom.

It was about coming out early and refining myself.

“who is this?”

“Look at those clothes. “It looks terribly expensive.”

I could feel the eyes of the students.

With eyes full of curiosity, they are guessing among themselves who I am.

Everything from the clothes I wear to the maid I have with me will be surprising to them.

From their perspective, it would be strange for a high-ranking nobleman like me to come here.

“This is the place.”

“This is….”

“This is the vice principal’s office. “The vice principal was looking forward to Raymond Youngsik’s arrival.”

There is something strange about the words.

It seems like he’s pointing the finger at the vice principal, not me.

A hard, disdainful look. The expression appeared briefly and then disappeared, but I could clearly see it.

smart.

“Vice principal. Raymond Youngsik has arrived.”

As soon as Jamie spoke, a bright voice came from inside.

“Please let me in.”

I went inside, ordering Ellis to collect information separately.

Unlike the Count’s office, which was full of documents, the vice principal’s office was well organized.

There was a bookshelf behind the vice principal’s chair, and in front there was a large window with a clear view of the outside.

“Please sit this way.”

The assistant teacher who led me to the sofa in front of the desk seemed as warm as Jamie.

The difference is that Jamie has dark circles and looks thin and very tired, but the vice principal has thick skin and looks like he has literally enjoyed wealth.

“Ku Haram’s car came in this time, and your timing is good.”

The vice-principal personally offers tea and says: Then he gestured towards Jamie, who was still standing.

“What are you doing? “Let’s go and do our job.”

Jamie bowed his head and went out, closing the door.

“Now, let’s eat.”

The vice principal, who watched Jamie leave until the end, smiled brightly and said.

“But I wonder why Raymond Youngsik came to the academy.”

The vice-principal seemed to be the type of person who couldn’t resist being curious, so he got straight to the point.

His doubts were understandable.

Even though you may be working at an academy, you will know that it is better to use the education system of a famous school than to attend an academy.

Moreover, the vice principal knows my family background.

I had already thought of the answer to that question.

“I just wanted to have a variety of experiences. “No matter how good your family’s education system is, there are some things you can only get at the academy.”

“okay. “As the vice-principal of this school, I am glad that you think of the academy that way.”

haha. The vice principal nodded with a kind smile.

“Furthermore, it is surprising that the Millennium family’s son applied to the swordsmanship club.”

His words contained several meanings.

Why would a son of a master magician learn swordsmanship? Did he switch to swordsmanship because he had no talent for magic? Do you think switching to swordsmanship would make a difference?

I felt like I could see his true feelings beyond his smiling face.

Although you may think that what I am thinking is a misunderstanding.

‘A man who likes to put others down and reveals his money.’

A one-line sentence describing him in the original work.

A villainous extra who appears briefly and then disappears.

Although the exact details were not provided, that one line alone was enough reason to be wary of him.

“I think the vice-principal will know. “I have no talent for magic.”

“Ah…”

He was embarrassed and hesitated to answer, probably not expecting me to speak so bluntly.

“Luckily, I have some sword skills.”

After saying that, he stopped talking. This alone would have been a sufficient explanation.

The vice principal smiled awkwardly and nodded.

For a moment, he said with a gentle smile, as if asking when he had shown emotional ups and downs.

“Raymond Youngsik, you will definitely become a great prosecutor.”

“thank you.”

“But… if there’s something I’m worried about…”

he pretends to hesitate to say.

He was so good at acting that if you didn’t know his true nature, you wouldn’t suspect that he was looking at you.

“I wonder if Raymond Youngsik will be able to get along well with the other children… Ah! Please pretend you didn’t hear this. “I heard a rumor about Raymond Youngsik…”

“….”

He said, quickly scanning my face.

“But after seeing it in person, I can’t believe the rumors. Who would look like this…”

“What does this look like?”

“…yes?”

He stuttered at my surprise words.

I could see his true feelings.

He was subtly criticizing me, but did he think I would just get away with it?

If you thought that way, I’m really sorry.

Because I have no intention of just moving on.

Looking at him like that, I raised one corner of my mouth.

“Many people saw me and had a similar reaction to the vice principal. “I wonder how the vice principal viewed me.”

“Ah… about that.”

He broke into a cold sweat.

He was taken aback by my sudden surprise attack.

“It’s a joke. joke.”

“Ah… hahaha. “You’re being mischievous.”

He let out an awkward laugh and spoke quickly to change the subject.

“You haven’t heard where Ban is wearing yet, right?”

“yes. Come see the vice principal right away…”

“Raymond Youngsik will be taking classes in class A-2. Class A is mostly made up of nobles, so you won’t meet any commoners. “I’ve also told the teachers, so if there’s anything you feel uncomfortable about, please let me know at any time.”

“Thank you for your consideration. Oh, I brought a maid. I think it would be inconvenient without it…”

“That’s okay. “Some of the other children also brought servants with them.”

“okay.”

“I’m worried I may have held you back too long.”

“no. “Thanks to you, I also drank good tea.”

“Thank you for your kind thoughts.”

I got up and bowed lightly to him.

He also looked at me and lowered his head.

I felt the assistant principal’s earnest gaze.

When I went outside, I saw Ellis waiting.

“let’s go.”

“yes.”

Ellis quietly followed next to me.

“Where do you want to go?”

“Hmm… Since this is where I’ll be going from now on, I’d better take a good look around.”

“All right.”

Ellis stepped slightly in front of me and led the way.

He followed behind her and said.

“What did you ask me to find out?”

“I will report. “The number of students at the academy is 1,472 and the staff…”

She recited the information she had learned while walking around the academy.

Very detailed information. I was a little surprised at how much information I was able to obtain in such a short period of time.

It was amazing that every time I asked her to do something, she brought back more information than I could have imagined.

“That’s enough. Something else.”

“yes. “The amount paid by the count family for your admission is 150 gold.”

It varies depending on the village and city, but on average, the amount that commoners spend on food for a month was 50 silver.

When you think about it, it was a very large amount, but considering that I currently had over a thousand gold, it wasn’t that much.

To begin with, the amount of money spent by the count’s family per day amounted to dozens of gold.

“And 50 gold of them went to the vice principal.”

“Hmm…”

This was what surprised me.

It is said that the vice-principal evaded taxes of one-third of the amount.

It was admirable that he boldly carried out something that would have meant spending the rest of his life in prison if he were caught by the royal family.

“You probably have evidence, right?”

“yes. “I brought with me some of the secret ledgers related to that.”

This is why I tried to take Ellis with me.

Because they think and move on their own without me having to say anything.

She looked around and handed me a secret ledger made out of several pieces of paper.

“You’ve done a lot.”

After looking at the secret ledger, I was greatly impressed.

According to what it says, he embezzled enough money to run a city for a month.

“It would be a good weakness. “I keep it well.”

“yes.”

Ellis puts the secret ledger I returned into her arms.

I told her to keep it safe, so even if she dies, she won’t show it to anyone else.

‘It’s easier to take advantage of one weak point.’

I didn’t know it would be so easy to find a weakness.

For a secretive person like an assistant principal, identifying weaknesses is more effective than talking.

I ordered it just in case.

“Did you find out about the person called the principal?”

“yes. His appearance seemed ordinary. However… it seemed very solid.”

“It’s hard…”

What she said brought to mind the image of the principal.

In the original work, the academy principal was not mentioned.

Maybe he was a victim when the protagonist attacked the academy.

“After learning more about him, I heard that he doesn’t show his face often. “At most times, we don’t see each other once a month, but at other times, we don’t see each other even once a year.”

Is there a lack of responsibility or is the Academy not very interested?

Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me.

There was another reason why I came here.

‘The talent I need is here.’

A person who will become so strong that even the protagonist will be reluctant to deal with him.

That talent hasn’t been revealed yet.

I came here to win him over to my side.
