Chapter 171 – Chapter 15 – Step by Step
“… No matter how much I think about it, I can’t go on like this.”
Romus, a noble cadet who jumped up from his seat, screamed like that.
Then, his classmates who were drinking tea quietly next to him.
I’ll correct it, the ‘trembling’ who follow after Romus suddenly look at me as to why.
“Aren’t you even angry? Our noble cadets were insulted by the professor. No matter how much you are a hero of the Continental War, there is a line you must protect. Just because it’s a test doesn’t mean professors can’t carelessly deal with cadets. Apart from being a commoner and an aristocrat!”
“… Hey, Romus. However, in the end, the people who listen to the lecture generally agree and move on.”
“For now, I just gave up and resigned, but I never accepted it. This is to tarnish the honor of the nobility. To see something wrong and just be silent? Absolutely impossible!”
Romus suddenly heads somewhere, huffing and puffing as if he is quite angry.
Thanks to that, his descendants also had to put down all the tea they were drinking and follow suit.
It is true that all are descendants of noble families, but in reality, the center of the families is the noble family to which Romus belongs.
Therefore, in the end, it was Romus who could speak loudly here.
Quite by chance, Romus walked down the hallway with a pretty angry face.
And, maybe, I ended up facing Klaus exactly as someone intended.
There was a very beautiful fairy cadet next to him, and it was Romus who was dazzled by that beautiful figure for a moment.
However, he soon comes to his senses and recalls why he is standing in front of a lecture professor who is so angry that he doesn’t even listen, and opens his mouth.
“Professor Klaus, who is in charge of the battle magic lecture!”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
“I want you to talk to me for a moment!”
“… What is it? No matter how I look at it, I haven’t seen a cadet like you take my lectures.”
“You’re right. I don’t listen to the professor’s lectures. I wanted to help other parts with basic magic rather than combat magic. Therefore, of the two lectures with overlapping time, I had to give up the professor’s lecture.”
“Okay. But why did you come to me and suddenly want to talk?”
“I want to object to the part that was on the midterm exam!”
It wasn’t Klaus who was taken aback by Romus’ words, but Natasha, who was following him.
No, even the cadets listening to the lecture eventually accepted it and turned around.
Some kind of stupid person who didn’t even listen to the lecture came to visit and talk to Klaus while showing cheeky words and actions?
If this place had been somewhere other than the academy, I might have crushed that cheeky snout right away.
In fact, even now, I wanted to yell at him to shut up and go away.
Julia doesn’t seem to bother her in particular, and after a while, she was enjoying a cup of coffee with Klaus, and she wanted to have a conversation about this and that, but she went crazy when some strange aristocrat blocked her way.
So as Natasha’s face gets colder and bleak, the cadets behind Lomus immediately feel the cold and freeze on the spot.
However, Cadet Lomus, who was the target of the cold, was in the midst of pouring with all his heart and soul.
“I admit that you hold all the rights to a lecture. However, as a professor, I don’t think you can treat students so carelessly. I really wanted to get an apology from the professor for this part, so I asked for a conversation like this.”
“… Is that so? I want an apology, la. The aristocratic cadets who listened to my lecture were in a mood to accept and move on. Cadet Lomus?”
“I think anyone can appeal.”
Klaus nodded his head approvingly as he looked at Romeus, who spoke confidently.
Then, as she happened to have something to say to this fairy cadet, Natasha Belarus, they all started walking ahead, saying let’s go to their rooms together.
In response to Klaus’s reaction, Romus responded with a thank you and took his henchmen and proudly followed suit with his aspirations.
“… Professor Klaus. Will you listen to the nonsense of such nonsense?”
As she moved right next to her, Natasha whispered carefully in a low voice that the people following behind her couldn’t hear.
Suddenly, a strange idiot aristocrat pops up and does nonsense.
Klaus responded with a smile.
“If a fool has convictions, there is nothing more stupid than that. Halfway words will only harden your convictions, so it’s better to destroy them cleanly from the beginning.”
At Klaus’s answer, Natasha gave an expression that she didn’t understand.
Then Klaus opened the door to my professor’s office, saying that you’ll know when you see it.
“Are you here, Mr. Klaus?”
A silver-haired maid who greets you flawlessly.
Not even the slightest stain or wrinkle can be found on the neatly dressed maid’s uniform.
Klaus nodded his head to mean that he was suffering, and Planche, who straightened his back, found Natasha standing next to him.
Instantly, for a very brief moment, Planche’s eyes filled with cold energy flashed.
However, after recalling what Klaus said earlier, she immediately returns to her polite maid appearance.
Do not be rude to my guests, they are all important and pay attention too.
I don’t know anything else, but it was like a maid who faithfully carried out the owner’s orders.
“… But, there are people who are seeing it for the first time.”
Planche frowns as she watches Romers and her companions as they enter after Natasha.
She didn’t feel her dignity at all, so she was worried about whether she should really let them into her workplace and Klaus’s space.
“These are my guests, Planche. ‘Once’ is the word.”
Klaus immediately solves Planche’s troubles.
Thanks to that, she accepted them as guests, as she said.
Meanwhile, after seeing Natasha and Planche, Romus and the others were confused and were at a loss for what to do.
The other students are also beautiful, but among them, Natasha and Planche have a beauty that is incomparable to other women, as the Creator reaped them for a reason.
Because of this, it is enough to stimulate immature kids who are at an age when they are crazy about pretty things, and thanks to their position as aristocrats, they can easily grab whatever they want.
“Ugh…”
“I-that’s a maid… ?”
Fortunately, I’m wearing clothes that barely show my flesh.
In addition, Romus, who could be said to be the center of attention, looked at him for a moment, but soon he remembered why he had come here and turned his head right away, so the people around him didn’t do anything rude.
“Sit. Rather, the name…”
“This is Romus Chagar. You can call me Cadet Lomus.”
“I know that Chagar is a fairly influential family in the northern part of the kingdom, but it seems that he is a descendant of that place.”
“To my shame, yes.”
Chagar, one of the most influential families in the North.
To put it mildly, it is a place that leans more toward martial arts than martial arts.
Like the other aristocrats, he was immersed in aristocratic chauvinism, but at least it was fortunate that he knew how to do even a little bit, rather than having only a snout alive.
The reason why Klaus didn’t hesitate to call him directly to his room like this was because he was a son of an aristocrat who was worthy of the minimum human treatment.
“Yes, I have something to tell you. Cadet Lomus.”
“That’s right. I heard that the other day, during the midterm exam of the combat magic lecture, the cadets were physically assaulted by the professor.”
“It was not an assault, it was just part of a test. What is Combat Magic? Literally at the moment of fighting, it is to make a gap with magic at the moment and aim for the moment to help you win in the end. It could be said that it is closer to martial arts rather than academics. Don’t you think it’s strange that a descendant of the Chagar family doesn’t get hurt while learning this martial art?”
“I agree with what Professor said. I don’t know much about battle magic, but it’s absurd to prepare for a fight without knowing the brutality of the fight. But this time, I think it’s too much. It was only said that there was an obstruction, but no one knew that there would be such a ruthless attack, and there was a story that there was a problem with some parts and that more power was used against those who raised objections.”
It was said that noble cadets gathered together and talked about each other’s lectures and professors.
Klaus didn’t deny or affirm what Romus said, but just looked at him and suggested that he say more.
“This is not right.”
“What’s not right, Cadet Lomus?”
“There have been a lot of things that nobles have done to you. Isn’t that why he uses stronger moves against the noble cadets than other cadets? Professor Klaus is a commoner, and we are nobles. So, it is absolutely not for this reason that a commoner can hit a nobleman. I just thought that Klaus, who I really knew, would always think of the right thing and take it for granted in doing those things.”
“Hmm.”
“In either case, I don’t think it’s right to do this in the end. Rather than let the students collide with each other, who would use the magic suggested by the professor first? I think it would have been better to take the test with that part. No matter how you look at it, the professor just used violence against the students. So I would like to tell you that you should apologize to the cadets.”
While listening to Cadet Lomus’ words, the thugs internally clapped for the focal point who was talking to Klaus confidently.
Natasha, on the other hand, though she was sitting still, was grinding her teeth inwardly.
As a bonus, Planche decided to take all the sugar and honey out of the coffee he was going to serve to Romers.
“That’s why it’s not right to assault for no particular reason. So I have to apologize. Something like this. I am not speaking to the common people as an aristocrat, but as a person who has encountered something that is not right. Is this correct?”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
“Okay. It was. Surely you could be right, Cadet Lomus.”
“Thank you so much for accepting that.”
“But, cadet Romans. Let me ask you one thing. If you can answer this, let him apologize to those aristocratic cadets who hurt me a lot from being beaten by me.”
Romus looks at Klaus with the attitude of asking him anything.
At that, Klaus slowly opened his mouth with a sneer.
“If you can speak up about what is right like that, then you can say that even when nobles treat commoners badly, you can say that you shouldn’t do that, right?”
“… Yes?”
“Now I am not making an issue of a noble beating a commoner, I am just talking about what is right and what is not right. Aren’t you saying this? On the other hand, when a noble is harassing a commoner for a completely wrong reason, you might as well stand in their way, apologize to the commoner after arguing with the noble.”
“That’s…”
“Apologize, can’t you just say that? Then what? After all, aren’t you the same? Nobles are always right, and commoners must always follow that right. You seem to be harboring such thoughts implicitly.”
“No! That part…”
Romers is about to open his mouth to speak.
Klaus cut off his words in a cold, subdued voice as if he hadn’t even begun.
“Can I really say that? Is the reason for coming to me now to raise an objection to what is not right? Or is it because a commoner beat a nobleman, and he suddenly feels ‘uncomfortable’ about it and comes to me armed with strange beliefs?”
