All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 231

116. Even If I Give Up on This – 1

Although there were a few days’ difference, all the students arrived safely at the Imperial Academy.

Balla and Park Bare arrived last. Haroon, who had gone to greet them with Ian, was dumbfounded when they unpacked their luggage in the dormitory.

“Hey. Why are you two Masters the last to arrive?”

“We were delayed because there were many monsters along the way that we had to deal with.”

Balla scratched the back of his head and pointed to the side.

Park Bare, who was sharing a room with him, also smiled awkwardly.

“From bandits to monsters, we caught almost all of them. Ah, Ian, I only saw one of those things you mentioned.”

Park Bare took out a horn from his pocket and tossed it to him.

Ian nodded as he received it.

“Anyway, I heard the story. I heard you caused an accident as soon as you arrived?”

“Hey. How can you call that an accident?”

Blowing away the gate of the capital was a major accident.

However, he was as calm as ever, and Park Bare grinned.

“By the way, I heard you’re seeing a girl these days?”

“I heard it as I entered the academy earlier, and it’s no joke. Huh? You pretended not to be interested. You’re quite something, huh?”

As he said teasingly, Graegin, who had arrived yesterday, shook his head.

He was also curious when he first heard the story, so he went to see Ian and Charles’ training.

But it didn’t seem like anything special.

“Huh? Really? There’s no affection blooming while teaching or anything?”

“You’ll know if you go see it. It’s almost time to go.”

Graegin checked the time and stood up.

It was almost time for group training.

Park Bare was horrified when he said that.

“No?! We just arrived?!”

“Then you guys can rest.”

Ian, who spoke indifferently, got up from his seat.

As he left, the others in the room ended up following him.

In the training ground, not only the Fredon Academy students but also the Imperial Academy students were out and doing individual training.

“Fredon Academy students, come here!!”

Aran-se, who glanced at the Imperial Academy students training fiercely next to them, shouted, and the Class B students gathered.

Aran-se, standing in front of them, immediately divided the group.

“We’ll divide into Team 1 and Team 2. Wizards, move.”

Haroon and Oerina, Graegin and Willdy.

As the two moved to different teams, Blanche raised his hand.

“What about Ian?”

“He’s an exception. Ian, step aside.”

“Understood.”

Ian nodded and stepped back, looking towards the Imperial Academy.

They were also divided into teams and training.

But this time too, Charles was just standing alone.

“That woman is Princess Charles……”

“That princess is the one Ian has been hanging out with these days? Wow. She’s really pretty, isn’t she?”

As Park Bare said in surprise, Oerina and Widia nodded.

“Well. Not as pretty as me.”

“But doesn’t she look a bit ordinary?”

As they grumbled with a bit of jealousy, the students ignored them.

Meanwhile, Balla smiled and approached Ian, poking him in the side.

“Are you happy? Huh? To have exclusive training with such a beautiful princess.”

“Ian pretends not to be, but he likes pretty people too, doesn’t he?”

Even Park Bare teased him with a smile, and Ian nodded.

“I’m human too, so of course I like handsome and pretty people.”

At those words, the Fredon Academy students all twisted their bodies and laughed.

It seems like they all think they are handsome and pretty.

Aran-se, who was looking at them with a look of disdain, said to Ian.

“Princess Charles is also excluded, so go and come back. I’ve already told the instructor over there.”

“Understood.”

Ian, who received Aran-se’s permission, headed straight to where Charles was.

“Oh, you’ve come?”

Fear flashed in Charles’ eyes.

She tried to hide it with arrogance as she greeted him, but Ian spoke bluntly as always.

“Let’s start. Myane, come down.”

“Myaaa~.”

Myane, who was on Ian’s shoulder, jumped down.

Watching that, Charles gripped her sword tightly.

“Relax your body. You’re putting unnecessary strength into it.”

“Ah, I understand.”

“Start from the beginning. First Form. Descent of the Water Spirit.”

As Ian spoke, Charles immediately moved her sword.

Balla and Park Bare, who saw her moving her sword quickly and beautifully, fluttering her golden hair, were impressed.

But.

-Thwack!!

“Agh!!”

Ian’s sword mercilessly struck her weak spot.

He said calmly to her, who had fallen down.

“I told you to be careful of your side.”

“I, I’m sorry.”

“Again.”

Park Bare, who was watching that, was sweating.

“I always think this, but that guy really has no blood or tears.”

“At that rate, even a thousand years of pink feelings would turn into blood-colored feelings. Unless you’re crazy, you’ll never have those feelings……? By the way, that person doesn’t seem to have any place to hit…….”

As Park Bare and Balla spoke, Blanche was puzzled.

“There seem to be many places to hit? He’s full of weaknesses.”

“That’s not what we mean? By the way, is it okay to hit the princess like that?”

“Princess Charles is a neglected member of the royal family… and the Emperor hasn’t been out of the inner palace lately.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I don’t know either.”

Haroon was just relaying the story he had heard from his father.

While they were talking, Aran-se frowned.

It’s good that they’ve gotten stronger, but Class B’s tension has dropped too much.

“Stop talking nonsense and focus. They’re coming over there.”

The Imperial Academy students, who were supposed to train together this time, were approaching.

As they came, Aran-se immediately declared the start of the joint training and went straight into training.

Even though the joint training between Fredon Academy and Imperial Academy had begun, Ian didn’t even glance at them.

“Ugh!!”

“That leg. Are you asking me to cut it off?”

He was just focused on teaching Charles.

As the training between Fredon Academy and Imperial Academy was coming to an end.

Charles was completely exhausted.

“Ugh…… you’re really…… merciless…….”

“Are you hoping I’ll go easy on you? Then I’ll have to teach you for about ten years?”

“……Is this what you call intensive training?”

“That’s right.”

Charles sighed deeply as Ian, who hadn’t even broken a sweat despite moving the same way, replied.

“I’m realizing that I still have a long way to go.”

“Of course.”

There was no comfort.

Charles shrank even more as he coldly spoke only the reality.

At that time, Willdy and Widia, who had finished training, approached the two.

“Ian, I don’t mean to say this, but why don’t you go a little easier on her?”

“Should I go easy on you when I train with you too?”

“Ah. Not that.”

She knew how much training with Ian helped her grow, so she couldn’t do that.

Widia was just saying that because Charles looked tired.

“I think you should go get some recovery… are you okay? Can you stand up?”

Charles nodded as Willdy supported her.

As they took her to the temple, Park Bare approached Ian and asked.

“By the way, why doesn’t the Imperial Academy take care of that princess? I know she’s not close to power, but she’s still a princess. Doesn’t she have any friends there?”

Of course, it’s true that she entered the Imperial Academy even though she didn’t have the skills to do so.

But that’s that, and now she’s learning from Ian.

The Fredon Academy students, who knew what would happen if they learned from him, couldn’t understand the Imperial Academy students.

“Isn’t it because of her *mal-tu* [manner of speaking]?”

Graegin approached and said, and Haroon smiled bitterly.

It was true that Princess Charles’ *mal-tu* [manner of speaking] was strange.

“The princess’ *mal-tu* [manner of speaking] is like etiquette that is hardly used in the Empire anymore…….”

“Ah. Really? But with that kind of *mal-tu* [manner of speaking]… I wonder who would go next to her.”

“By the way, why is Princess Charles still maintaining that? I don’t think anyone in the Imperial family is protecting it anymore.”

As Haroon spoke, everyone looked at Ian.

Ian shook his head at their gazes.

“I don’t know. And don’t worry about that and do well in the exchange event.”

“Hey~ don’t worry about that.”

It’s a class that includes a 6-circle mage and a Master.

At this rate, they are a force that can’t be defeated even if they fight with an ordinary knight order, so how can the Imperial Academy students handle it?

“I asked May, and it seems like the Imperial Academy is thinking of this exchange event as a throwaway.”

What’s the point of miraculously defeating the Class B students with all their might?

It’s over if Ian intervenes.

“Philoa said that there were quite a few guys in the Imperial Academy who were calling you a bubble or something.”

But as soon as he arrived, he shattered the gate and the walls with one blow, so everyone was scared.

Look at that right now.

They can’t even approach the side where Ian is.

“Swan. Why are you doing that there?”

“Yes? Yes? Ah. Th, that’s. Lord, Lord Count.”

Swan, whom he had met in the Great Plains, hesitated and approached.

“Um. My friends said they wanted to have dinner with Count Ian and the people from Fredon Academy…….”

Looking at that side, there were Imperial Academy students.

They couldn’t bring themselves to talk to him, so Swan, who had some acquaintance with him, stepped up.

“Do we have any schedule now?”

“No.”

As Park Bare nodded, Blanche put his arm around Ian’s shoulder.

“Let’s go. They’ll buy us dinner there.”

Ian, who took his arm off his shoulder, shook his head.

“I have something to do.”

“Huh? What is it?”

“I have to teach Charles magic.”

“Wow. Swordsmanship and magic. Are you making a successor or something?”

As he asked in wonder, Ian smirked.

“A successor? And this is the level I give you guys, isn’t it?”

“That’s true, but.”

“I’m okay, so you guys go… Ah. Myane.”

“Mya~.”

Ian picked up Myane, who was next to him, and handed him to Park Bare.

“Feed him while you’re there.”

“Shall we? Then I should go. You said your name was Swan? I’m Park Bare. This side is…….”

It’s a pity that Ian is missing, but the people here are also strong people who do one thing.

And their families can’t be ignored.

That’s why Swan smiled and headed to where the students were with them.

It was obvious why the commander of the Dragon Shield Knights had suddenly visited the Imperial Academy.

It must be because of what happened in the abandoned building of the Imperial Academy.

“It would be better to have him talk to me first before he says anything unnecessary.”

Ian headed to the main building where he had gone before.

As he passed by the recovery room of the temple on the way, Willdy and Widia were coming out.

“Ah, Ian.”

“Princess Charles will rest a little longer and come out. But… um, Princess, I think you’re overdoing it.”

“You have to overdo it to grow.”

“That’s true, but…….”

Willdy and Widia couldn’t bring themselves to say anything.

Just as Ian was about to open his mouth as he looked at them.

A giant in golden armor approached with rough steps.

“Um? Count Ian. Why are you here?”

“Can’t I be here?”

“It’s not that, but. It’s good timing.”

“What is it?”

Crepen grabbed Ian and said in a small voice.

“The Iron Blood Duke said he would handle this matter himself.”

“Oh. Is he coming to the capital?”

“No. He said to take them all into custody and send them to the Iron Blood Duke’s territory.”

Ian smiled at those words.

“Tell him not to talk nonsense.”

Crepen smiled in response to his smile.

“I knew you’d say that, so I told him in advance.”

Willdy, who was listening to their conversation, said with a sullen expression.

“Um… then isn’t the Iron Blood Duke going to make a fuss?”

Ian nodded to her.

“That’s why I’m doing this.”
