chapter 6
Episode 6 – Second Chair (1)
6. Second seat (1)
It took less than 30 minutes for the situation to be resolved.
If it were any other place, you might not know this, but this is El Prime Academy, where the best talents in the empire gather.
The cadets and instructors quickly regained their composure.
Not long after Creek committed suicide, instructors wearing robes rushed over and cast a preservation spell on the body before escorting it away.
Maybe an investigation team will come and find out Creek’s identity.
Not much can be learned from the cold corpse.
Based on the testimonies, we can only infer meaningless information that he is a spy for the Republic.
Although the cadets stayed in their seats, not a single one ran out of the auditorium or became frightened.
This is because there were many cadets who took advantage of the overall calm atmosphere and became calm.
Thanks to this, the cadets calmly stayed in their seats and waited for guidance from the instructors.
While waiting, the cadets gathered in small groups and talked about Creek’s live show.
Based on the slogan that Creek shouted and the suicide he committed at the end, I figured out that he was a spy for the Republic.
I couldn’t figure out why they came out with a jukebox instead of a bomb.
This was the same for Carotene next to Leon.
“Hey, Leon.”
“Huh?”
“Did you know something about what just happened?”
Carotene, as expected from an aristocrat, asked directly without turning back.
Leon really liked his simple personality.
“Is that possible? “Why do you think that?”
“Well, didn’t you pay attention even before that guy ran out? “Out of all the people here, no one knew that.”
“Hmm!”
Leon nodded his head as if it was a good question.
Actually, I was thinking of making an excuse because I made too much of a show of it earlier.
“I didn’t have a good ‘feel’.”
“Persimmon?”
Carotene was taken in by that confident and solemn tone.
Leon began to recite the passage he had seen in the original.
“Okay. I suddenly got an ominous feeling, like something was going to happen. “It’s like when someone approaches you from behind with a knife, it gives you a chill in the back of your head.”
This was a scene described in the original work right before Billy prevented the terrorist attack.
“Oh…!”
Carotene, an unmanned person, was a type of person who greatly believed in things like sixth sense and intuition.
In fact, it was a concept that actually existed in this world, so it was natural to believe it.
“I know what it feels like! You must have great senses! “Even the instructors didn’t notice at all!”
Carotene was thrilled and laughed and put her arm around Leon’s shoulder.
“After all, you are my best friend!”
“hahahahaha! “No matter how much I paint it with gold, nothing comes out!”
Although they only met for less than half a day, they soon became best friends.
The two idiots walked out of the auditorium, arm in arm.
Surprisingly, these two were even half the same.
* · * *
It was a little after noon.
The freshmen gathered in their own classes.
The 500 cadets are divided into the martial arts club and the magic club, with 250 each.
The club is divided into 10 classes with 25 people randomly grouped, and Leon was in class A of the martial arts club.
Leon and Carotene opened the door to Class A and entered, cheering.
Drur!
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
When two male students with unique appearances entered, all eyes were focused on Usususu.
Interesting eyes that instinctively search and gauge the other person.
Have you not yet known that Crusif and the Bastian princes are?
They immediately turned their heads and started whispering among themselves.
‘It’s been a while since I felt this green atmosphere.’
Leon secretly smiled as he felt like he was back in high school.
He sat in the back seat with Carotene, enjoying the tickling feeling.
Drur!
After chatting with Carotene, the front door of the classroom opened forcefully.
Tap, tap, tap, tap!
The constant sound of shoes.
The cadets of Class A all stopped their conversation and looked ahead at the steady pace.
A woman with light blue hair wearing a neat uniform.
She made me feel like a well-trained soldier.
Chuck!
She placed both hands on the podium, glanced at her cadets, and then opened her mouth.
“Nice to meet you, gentlemen.”
Leon and her eyes met briefly.
“This is instructor Cheren Arsonia, who is in charge of Class A. Let’s do well in the future.”
Cheren Asonia?
It was only after Leon heard her name that he remembered her from the original work.
“Wow…! Ice sword?!”
“Wow, that person is an ice sword?”
Ice-grinding sword (氷結劍), a nickname given to a sword that immobilizes the opponent as if freezing it.
I remember him as a swordsman who came from Asonia, a famous swordsman, and became famous after surpassing the master level at the age of less than 30.
If you look at the fact that there are many martial artists who can’t even become a master even if they wield a weapon their whole life, it’s an incredible talent.
In fact, Leon couldn’t even guess her skills right now.
“You’re lucky, it’s an ice sword.”
Carotene patted Leon on the shoulder and liked it.
I can’t help but be happy to be taught by an outstanding martial artist.
“······.”
However, Leon was lost in his thoughts, ignoring her teasing Carotene.
‘Oh, sh*t. ‘What was it?’
I think there was one unique setting about her, but she couldn’t remember it.
Of course, just because she was Leon, that didn’t mean she remembered every single detail of the original story.
“I will tell you about the class method that will be held in the future. Theory class in the morning…”
Leon’s thoughts were interrupted by Cheren’s clear voice.
‘Hmm, I don’t know.’
I’ll remember it later, okay?
This is probably not very important.
Leon tried to ignore her uncomfortable feeling and focused on Instructor Cheren’s explanation.
* · * *
As today is the first day, after a brief orientation, we finished early without any further classes.
Full-scale regular classes start tomorrow.
Leon and Carotene came out, riding the wave of cadets rushing out.
“Leon, aren’t you hungry?”
“What do you want to eat?”
“Hmm… Of course, I need to eat some meat for lunch to make it filling.”
“Wait a minute.”
Leon suddenly stopped walking.
Carotene noticed that his eyes were shining like they did at the entrance ceremony.
“Why but! Did you feel something again?!”
“This feeling…”
Leon turned his head and looked in one direction.
His instincts strongly told him that something interesting would happen somewhere.
It was Gura who spoke to Carotene earlier, but this time she felt that she was really going to say something.
“Follow me.”
“I understand!”
Leon walked towards him as if he were fascinated.
As expected, the closer Leon went, the more crowded the crowds began to appear.
A large group of cadets who had just finished class were forming a large circle.
What’s going on?
As far as Leon knew, there was nothing in the original work about something like this happening from day one.
“Let’s pass by.”
“Oh, what…”
Leon and Carotene, who were strong, pushed past the cadets and went inside.
The cadets who were pushed out couldn’t say anything to the two who looked peaceful at first glance and only frowned.
Leon soon entered the front row and was able to confirm the identity of Soran.
“No.”
Leon burst into laughter at his joy.
There was a boy there with an unbelievable appearance.
Golden hair flowing calmly and blue eyes that look like cut-outs of the sea.
A perfect eight-headed body, pure white skin, and features as sharp as a blade.
A face that truly has all the elements of a handsome man.
As the main character, Billy Kanetel had the world’s best appearance.
‘······That’s why women are so twisted.’
Leon’s doubts were resolved only after seeing his face.
I understood why so many pretty women were attracted to Billy, who had a blunt personality that was seriously suspected of being a psychopath.
With that face, I could be sure that I would get a girl even if I went around selling sh*t.
Even now, the sound of female students cackling and cackling was bothering my ears.
“Billy Kanetel!”
At that time, a woman came out through the crowd of cadets admiring Billy’s face.
“Oh…”
The girl with the impressive silver ponytail was Princess Essabel, who had just recently served as the temporary representative of the newly admitted students.
The appearance of a celebrity made the cadets even more excited.
‘It’s even prettier up close. Is she really a heroine?’
Leon continued to look at her face with admiration.
As expected from the heroine in the novel, the princess’s face was beautiful as if it had been painstakingly created by God.
“Are you Billy Kanetel?”
Essa Belle proudly pinned her waist and blocked Billy’s path.
Only then did Billy’s calm eyes turn to her.
The two handsome men and women created quite a picture just by standing still, and the female students started making a fuss.
“Yes.”
‘Me, me, a bastard. ‘Look at how short he speaks to the princess.’
I trusted your face and just left.
For some reason, Leon’s anger rose up.
As a reader, she empathized with the main character, a feeling she had never felt while reading a novel.
However, Essabel went one step further.
“Speak comfortably. “We all have the same cadet status here.”
‘How are you?’
No matter how much she is a heroine, I just saw her for the first time. Is this feeling of distance correct?
Leon, dumbfounded, looked around her for a moment.
The eyes of all the women around were focused on Billy.
In contrast to the love-struck eyes of the female students, the faces of the male students are rotting by the minute.
“······.”
Leon touched her face and realized that she was making the same expression.
‘f*ck.’
Suddenly, I remembered the fact that I had praised myself for being handsome when I looked in the mirror in the morning, and my irritation increased even more.
In the meantime, the conversation between Billy and Essabel continued.
“You are the head of the swordsmanship club now, right?”
“For now, yes.”
“Hmm, then…”
Huh?
Leon felt a strong sense of déjà vu from Essabel’s lines.
This can’t be right…
Seeing Essa Belle’s hand go to her breast, an alarm bell rang frantically in Leon’s head.
‘You’re already fighting this?’
Esabel and Billy’s duel episode.
It was definitely not something that happened from the day of the entrance ceremony.
I don’t know why the future has changed, but we need to stop it first.
I couldn’t let Billy grow up already.
Why did I sign with Bergov?
And with that face, I felt like if I cut myself well, I would die from a stomachache.
Leon hurriedly searched his chest.
“Then risk the chief position and come with me.”
“The princess!!!!”
The strangely sweet atmosphere was suddenly shattered by Leon’s screams.
“””··········?”””
The entire area froze as if the pause button had been pressed.
With all the eyes pouring down, Leon’s shoulders were spinning in full swing.
Hwiik! Slap!
Leon’s handkerchief hit Esabelle’s pale face directly.
“What is this now…!?”
“Me!!! “I will deal with you!!!”
“???”
Everyone in the room opened their mouths dumbly.
