Chapter 201 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX
“It doesn’t really matter…”
Eugene, who had no intention of making a trivial comment about someone calling her name, obediently gave permission, and this time it was Nefty who turned her gaze towards Yeonhwa.
“And your wife’s side… , Demorian Clecia. “Can I call you Demorian?”
“Count Clecia.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t want to allow you to call me in the first place, but the Academy has to look into every single thing like that before it causes a nuisance to the Chamber of Commerce. So, if you want to call me, I won’t stop you. But make sure you use the proper title.”
She wanted to call him Cheonma, but since she had a promise with the president, Yeonhwa agreed to call her by her own title.
Well, even if I called her as Yeonhwa said, I couldn’t guarantee that she would answer because it was an unfamiliar name to her, but that’s what she said!
“Still, I’m a student at the same academy…”
“If you tease me, just don’t call me.”
“Okay…”
As for Yeonhwa, since she has nothing to do with Petit, she is showing her courage by saying that it is not a problem if she does not call her.
Since the story wasn’t actually wrong, should I still suffer from the actions of nobles even after coming to the academy? It was Nefty who accepted the situation while spewing out lamentations containing the meaning.
“It can’t be helped. “I’ll call you whatever you want, Count Clecia.”
“Hmm.”
Yeonhwa didn’t really react much to Nefty’s response, and she looked a little sullen at the sight, but soon got back to the point.
“So what course are you two planning on taking in the end? Oh, by the way, my department is the Empowerment Department. What happens to you two?”
“I also want to talk about authority first.”
“… “The main position is the martial arts department.”
The first people Nefty got to know in class A-4 were Eugene and Yeonhwa.
I can’t say that she’s gotten to know her yet, but at least it’s not that strange for her to be curious about the course the two of them are signing up for.
Therefore, Eugene and Yeonhwa answered honestly as they had no intention of hiding the lectures they would take, including the specific department they belonged to.
“Did you get the power?”
And among the two people’s answers, Nefty looked surprised at Eugene’s answer.
“Is this surprising?”
“When you saved me, I thought you were in the martial arts department because your skills with that strangely shaped sword were so ghost-like?”
There was a reason for her surprise. She was quite impressed by Eugene’s martial arts skills, as he fought while holding her in his arms and protecting her during the assassin’s attack.
That’s why Yeonhwa spoke triumphantly when Nefty, who secretly thought he was a martial arts expert, showed a surprising look.
“Hehe, the martial arts of the sky are definitely excellent.”
In the field of martial arts, the martial arts of Yu Jin’s Reaction School school could be said to have reached a level of perfection to the extent that Yeonhwa, who could be said to be the best among the old, was acknowledged.
As such, it was not unusual for Nefty, who witnessed Eugene’s battle in person, to be mistaken…
“You probably saw it too, right? “You see me controlling fire or pulling weapons out of thin air.”
“Oh, definitely…”
Eugene denied Nefty’s illusion by mentioning that his abilities were impossible in martial arts.
Nefty, who recalled the fact that she had overlooked it because she was too distracted at the time, expressed her understanding of Eugene’s explanation.
No matter how good your martial arts skills were, it would be nearly impossible to recreate Eugene’s feats using martial arts.
I didn’t know if it would be possible with martial arts, but since martial arts itself wasn’t widely available in the first place, let’s leave it out of the question for now.
In that case, we ultimately come to the conclusion that he has to deal with magic or power, but since the fighting style that Eugene showed is difficult to say that he is a wizard, the natural conclusion is that he is a power user.
“Are you a power user like me?”
“Hmm… “That part is quite ambiguous, but let’s just say it is.”
Although Salatic and Empowerment were fundamentally different abilities, Salatic itself was a very major Essence Sphere that only Eugene and members of Eugene’s family could use on Earth.
So, in an Orbital World where Salatic does not exist, it is a troublesome situation to convince them that an Essence Sphere other than the Power caused a phenomenon that cannot be explained except by the Power.
Therefore, Nefty tilts her head with a puzzled expression in response to Eugene’s response that she should just think of it as a power and move on.
“… Hmm, whatever it is, it’s called the Power Fruit, right? “Then it worked!”
However, rather than thinking deeply about the question, Nefty focused on the fact that the department that Eugene belonged to was the Power Department.
“Wouldn’t you like to take a course that says this is fate?”
“It doesn’t matter, but…”
Eugene, who had originally planned to take a course with as many contacts as possible with sub-heroines in the same grade as Nefty, accepted the proposal immediately after.
However, when he said that he could not understand the reason why Petit’s side was directly making this suggestion to him, she put her reason into words.
“Considering the level you showed when you saved me, I thought just taking the lecture together would be helpful in some way.”
While explaining the reason, Nefty soon seemed to remember something and carefully asked Eugene.
“… “Have you been hiding your skills?”
That means the skills Eugene showed when he saved him were at least the level of a superhuman, or the level of expert in this world.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to attack the enemy from the front, who was deliberately pulling out aurors from two daggers.
And those who have reached that level can clearly be said to be talented individuals who have surpassed the level of students attending the academy.
In other words, isn’t there some reason for someone with that level of skill to be attending the academy since he or she is a talented person who doesn’t need to attend the academy in the first place? That’s what I thought.
As a bonus, did you want to stay quiet and not reveal your skills just because you were attending the academy? This is Nefty’s question, which he also asked.
“Should I say I’m hiding my skills…?” … “Should I say that I don’t feel the need to reveal it?”
Eugene answered the question as if it was no big deal. In fact, the current academy probably knows that Eugene’s level is at the highest user level.
And although the level of user top level and the level of expert beginner level, which is Eugene’s current level, are different in level, if we look at the level only, it can be said that there is only one level difference.
In other words, it wouldn’t be surprising if Eugene, who is at the highest user level, would rise to expert beginner level at some point.
Of course, considering Eugene’s age, just reaching expert beginner level was shocking enough.
However, since the level already known to the academy is the highest user level, it is impossible even if Eugene has reached the level of expert! There is no way that could come out.
In the first place, reaching from the highest level of user to the beginner level of expert was not only a matter of talent, but also an area of enlightenment.
Some people may stay at the top level of user status for their entire lives, but some people may be able to overcome the expert level in just one day.
Therefore, even if Eugene reaches expert level, he will not be treated as something impossible, so even if his level is known, there will be no annoying suspicions. But…
“I have no intention of gritting my teeth and hiding it, but if I can, I don’t want to make it public. That’s why I’m an expert beginner at my age… No matter how you think about it, it’s obvious that it’s going to be a bother, right?”
Even if there was no suspicion that he had risen to the level through illegal means, it was clear that reaching the level of expert at Eugene’s age was news that would create an uproar in the world.
And if his existence is made known in that way, he will only gain unnecessary caution when dealing with the Demon King’s army and Crescent in the future.
Not only that, but even though they know that Eugene was originally expelled from the Grand Duchy of Zenon as a Strahl Zenon, it is also obvious that all kinds of vested classes will take notice of his talent and become a nuisance to him.
As such, Eugene had no intention of letting people know that he had reached expert level if he could.
Just knowing that I was admitted to the academy’s combat department at the top of my class would be quite annoying, but I didn’t want things to become more bothersome than that.
“Isn’t that saying you want to hide your skills?”
Nefty seemed to have a hard time understanding Eugene’s explanation and asked for confirmation, and he smiled and added.
“Depending on what you say? But if you ask him if he would do anything to hide his skills, he would say no. “You didn’t really hide your skills when I rescued you right away, right?”
Although he didn’t want to make his skills known, he gritted his teeth and had no intention of restricting his actions by hiding his skills.
If the main story progresses in the first place, no matter how much you try to hide your skills, it will inevitably become known.
So, rather than being buried in it for no reason, Eugene was planning to act when he needed to act while preventing information from leaking.
In fact, if he had planned to hide his skills, he would not have openly used skills that can only be used once he has reached the level of a superhuman, such as the warrant maneuver, when confronting Moon Ae-ri to prevent Nefty from being assassinated.
“For that reason, I have no intention of threatening or telling anyone not to tell anyone about my skills, but should I say that I would like you to keep your mouth shut as much as possible?”
To be honest, when Eugene asked whether fame might be a bothersome thing for some people, Nefty had no choice but to agree without even realizing it.
Nefty, who had reached the top level in her field as an idol, was a celebrity among celebrities.
Although she has reached a point where she enjoys fame, if you ask her if she is bothered by the attention she gets from others all the time because she has become so famous, that would not be the case.
So, she couldn’t help but sympathize with her Eugene, and if she could hide her own skills for the sake of it, she was trying to hide it.
If she were to reach the level of expert at the same age as Eugene, she would become so famous that no one in her empire would know her in a different way.
All kinds of nouns are attached to it, such as the ozone of the future and the hope of the empire.
As such, Nefty was able to fully sympathize with her explanation that she did not want to reveal the level she had reached because her fame was bothersome.
She said, “If you want Eugene, hey, keep her mouth shut. It’s not hard.” “I’m not a good person to the point where I can’t even listen to the slightest favor from the person who saved her life.”
In response to Eugene’s story, Nefty promised that from now on she would not comment on Eugene’s skills as much as possible.
“… Anyway, back to the main point, it’s true that Eugene is a better power user than me, right?”
After making that promise, Nefty continued what she had wanted to say, without mentioning in detail as much as she could the state Eugene had reached.
“So, as a fellow power user, I want to receive help from people who are ahead of the curve. To be honest, thanks to my fame and the uniqueness of my powers, I was able to get good grades on the entrance exam and enter Class A, but compared to those who use their powers professionally in battle, I am still only a beginner.”
As such, Nefty’s honest feelings were that she wanted to be mentored by Eugene, a power user who showed overwhelming skills against expert martial artists (although this is not true).
