Chapter 12 – Academy’s 1st Instructor (3)
Your recommendation increases your odds of joining.
================
Yushin said goodbye to her colleagues and headed outside through the hallway.
Subordinates told me
They are said to be residing in Santander Castle. It was an undeserved treatment for a slave of human origin. I wanted to thank Vilen Santander, but since she was talking to Ardena in her office, she couldn’t afford it.
“There human.”
A girl called out.
I’ve seen the castle’s servants pass by while bowing briefly, but it’s the first time I’ve called them out.
Yushin’s legs stopped at that voice.
She turned her head towards the voice. Then a red-haired girl, looking very displeased, crossed her arms. I don’t know if it was because she crossed her arms, but thanks to her, she knew at a glance that she had well-shaped big breasts.
“Are you Gilead, the Seven Swords of the Kingdom of Valois?”
“Right. Are you someone who has a grudge against the Kingdom of Valois or the Seven Swords? If so, stop. Because my current status is a slave to Valencia.”
“…No grudge.”
“It looks very unpleasant for something like that.”
As soon as Yushin finished speaking, the red-haired high elf girl nodded.
I feel very bad.
What is the alternative reason? Yushin stared at the face of a high elf girl he seemed to have seen somewhere.
“I think I saw it somewhere.”
“We met. In Pamplona.”
“Oh right.”
The Lady of the Santander Forest,
Leticia Santander.
Leticia’s eyebrows curled at Yushin’s reaction as if she had just remembered.
It was just a minor thing.
However, Leticia was not in a good mood right now.
It is because of this human. Lecitia didn’t like Yushin Gilead. It was the human who gave the first bitter defeat to Ardena and Valencia, who had recorded undefeated legends.
“I don’t know what I did wrong, but I feel very bad. But I don’t have money right now If you tell me to pay with money, I have nothing to give.”
“I don’t need money. There are many anyway.”
“Wow, I envy you.”
She was a gold spoon herself.
Her wonderfully grown breasts must have grown on that opulence.
Since she is the princess of a family called the Golden Santander, she must have enormous assets. Wouldn’t it have been better to sell to Santander instead of Valencia? Yushin thought so for a moment.
“I don’t admit it. The story of how you defeated the Ardena Warriors.”
“It is normal to not believe. If it had not been for the numerous eyewitnesses at that time, they would not have admitted that their country’s warriors had been defeated.”
The 12 Warriors are the best power of the Liberia Elves.
That the warrior chief was defeated by the Seven Swords of the Kingdom of Valois could be considered a national disgrace. That’s why Yushin was able to understand Leticia.
Thinking of accepting the child’s complaint, he listened to Leticia’s voice.
“It is impossible to defeat Ardena-nim, who is armed with white-flowered weapons. How is it possible for a human with less mana management skills than half-elves?”
“Yeah, how could that be possible?”
Leticia expressed her bewilderment at Yushin’s response to her question with a question.
I thought he would be angry.
He predicted that in the duel he must have won, and that he would bring up the honor of the seven swords of the kingdom.
However, Yushin was different from what was expected. He listened to Leticia objecting to the duel. It seemed that it was not the first time or two that he received protests about winning or losing the duel from his opponent or from people related to him.
“It’s difficult now, and I’ll prove my skills once we meet later.”
“Later?”
“Maybe we can meet soon.”
Yushin knew that the daughter of this family was in the same class as Alone.
He heard directly from Alone.
Of course, I didn’t hear anything good.
So Yushin thought he would meet Leticia again at the academy. He will enter the academy as Alone’s attendant. However, Leticia did not know that, so she put on an expression that she did not know why Yushin said.

No matter which worldview you go to,
It is a common phenomenon that students do not like to go to school.
“I won’t go. Tell the teacher that it hurts Shall we just leave early at the assembly time before the first period? In any case, attendance is accepted.”
Allone said.
He said he didn’t want to go to the academy even though he had already finished his preparations, and he was in a hurry.
Looking at the maids waiting next to me, it seemed like an event held every morning. Yoo-shin calmly watched Alone play her life, saying that he would get used to it too.
“Gilead.”
A maid wearing an apron held out her sword.
It must have been a fairly precious sword, and the sheath in which it was kept was decorated with gold and jewels.
However, it was a sword without a blade.
According to the academy’s regulations, it is impossible for students and users to bring weapons. Instead, the servants of the High Elves replaced them with fancy swords to show off their family’s honor.
“A sword? Is it really necessary…”
“The servants of the academy students are those who possess excellent swordsmanship. Because it doubles as an escort.”
The maid kindly explained.
The servants play the role of escort knights who protect the high elves’ self-restraint.
Bria Academy is a place that nurtures talented people who will someday become equals to the nation. Besides, the students at the academy were all boys and girls of high elf lineage. According to the maid, Bria Academy boasts more solid defenses than any other fortress in the elven country, she said.
“Then why do you need an escort? Anyway, you can go straight to the inside of the academy through the warp gate. And when leaving school, if you go through the warp gate, you will be able to enter the castle at once.”
“There are important reasons. It is the most mobilized work of the employees of the children. It is that important.”
“What is that?”
Yushin asked the maid.
As the maid tried to answer the question, she shouted at Alone, who in the end decided to go to the academy.
“Let’s go, Master.”
“Okay.”
Alone urged.
Yushin hurried his steps, knowing that the high elf kid was fickle.
The warp gate installed inside the castle is connected to the inside of Bria Academy. It is a great teaching team. A means of transportation that can travel that long distance at once. He had rode a warp gate several times in the kingdom of Valois, but it was the first warp gate connected to the academy.
“Did you pack all your supplies?”
“Then it’s natural.”
“You’re better than me in school days.”
“How was Master when you were in school?”
“He was a good kid who diligently ate by himself every mealtime.”
“…?”
Yushin stepped on the warp gate with Alone.
Then, the warp gate that received the signal was automatically activated, and the two subjects were transferred toward the set warp coordinates.
* * *
Compared to other academies, the number of students at Bria Academy was very small.
No wonder.
There weren’t many children of high elf blood.
Families that maintained a pure lineage were really few and far between. In addition, in order to enter Bria Academy, the barrier to entry was very narrow because one of the 50 members of the Yetzirah Council had to have a letter of recommendation.
“Is this the famous rich school?”
The place where the warp gate was connected inside the academy looked like a large auditorium.
Windows that let in strong sunlight.
And inside the auditorium, there were numerous warp gates.
Whenever the warp gates were activated, blue lights flashed. And at the same time as the blue light ended, a high elf student who successfully transferred appeared. Next to him was an elf who appeared to be an attendant, wearing a sword at his waist.
“Are you that curious?”
“Of course. There’s no way I’ve been to an academy like this.”
“I thought that Master also attended a prestigious academy. I heard that there are many academies in the Kingdom of Valois, if not as much as ours.”
“When I came to this world, I was already an adult, so I didn’t really need to go to the academy.”
While talking to each other, Yushin and Alone left the auditorium where the warp gates were installed.
Outside the auditorium was the outside.
Outside, green trees were densely spread out.
A great tree that holds mana.
It was definitely a Qabalah tree. Rare trees that can produce mana on their own filled the center of the academy. Air mixed with mana spread in all directions from the mana mass that opened like a fruit.
“I never thought I would see a Kabbalah tree. There are only one or two trees on the mountain called Yeongsan.”
How about an eco-friendly academy?
As if they hadn’t completely abandoned the elves’ habit of loving forests and nature, Bria Academy was a natural space where dense trees coexisted.
Together with Alone, I walked along the road that spreads among the Kabala trees.
The classroom is said to be over there.
Yushin, who was walking under a tree full of mana fruits, moved her steps while feeling the fresh breeze from the shade of the tree.
Everything was amazing Yushin has seen many scenes while rolling across the continent for several years. But Bria Academy was special. It was a new world that shattered the common sense that had been built up until now. So I tried to capture as many things as possible with both eyes.
“The Fallen Valencia.”
“A failed student came today. I’m sure he’s going to run away again.”
Hearing voices that distorted Yushin’s face, who was in a good mood while breathing in the clear, clean air.
They are high elf students.
A group of mostly female students was blocking the aisle leading to the classroom, like Iljin collecting money. Yushin, who witnessed this, nodded his head, saying that Iljins exist in any era.
“Ugh!”
Allone stepped back.
With her skills, she could knock out all the female students in front of her.
But she couldn’t.
It was because next to the High Elf female students, servants dispatched from the family were wearing swords. No matter how good Alone’s skills are, she can’t win against a warrior representing her family. So, she couldn’t directly deal with her classmates who teased and harassed her, and she avoided them every time.
“It reminds me of trauma.”
There was a time when I was like this too.
After muttering that, Yushin asked Alone, who was trembling while hiding behind her back.
“Shall I break your head?”
“Mi, are you crazy?! The opponent is a high elf. If a human master touches you, it’s the death penalty, the death penalty!”
“To be sentenced to death in exchange for true education. Why is the caste system of your country of elves the way it is?”
“No, of course it’s not that there isn’t a way…”
Alone slurred her speech.
After that, Alone showed me how to do it.
Only then did Yushin realize what the maid was trying to say before she boarded the warp gate.
“What is that human?”
“A new employee? It doesn’t sound like anything great.”
“Are the circumstances of the Valencia family so pitiful that they can’t bring humans? Too bad. To be honest, it’s a place where there’s nothing special other than Ardena’s battlefield.”
The high elf female students giggled.
Yushin walked towards the female students who were busy sending contempt with her eyes and ridicule with her mouth.
Little by little the distance narrowed.
When the distance came to a certain extent, the servants who guarded the high elves stepped out.
All of them were elves wearing swords.
There were no mixed-race half-elves. The High Elves, who value lineage, dispatched only knights from the Elves unconditionally. They blocked Yushin, who seemed to have come for the purpose of inflicting harm.
“Hey.”
Yushin took out his handkerchief.
And threw it at the feet of the servants.
“Follow me to the rooftop.”
High elves cannot fight each other.
That’s why all the disputes that took place at Bria Academy were decided by the duel between the servants.
It was similar to the aristocratic world. This is because nobles also put forward a proxy when they have a duel. In the Kingdom of Valois, there is something called Trial by Combat. When a dispute arises, the outcome of the trial is decided through a duel between the proxies, ignoring witnesses and evidence.
The real role of users.
It was a duel instead of a dispute between academy students.
