2nd Round Villain

122 – A humble warrior, Frey.

After leaving the library, Maria, still a person of the night, climbed over the fence and climbed the wall of the dormitory.

Even though she was a saint, this was nothing to her, who had gone through many hardships. Climbing the wall like a shadow through the surveillance camera, Maria quickly found her room and put her foot on the window.

The movement was still. The sound produced in the aftermath was less than that of a bug crawling. It wasn’t a move you could have at the age of eighteen.

However, she was not the only one in the dorm room.

“Are you a saint?”

“… Her Highness, did you wake up?”

‘Princess Albrecht… I left a note during the day saying that he was the person who was assigned as a roommate with me.’

There are two beds in the double room. On one of the beds, Albrecht was still awake at dawn when no one had woken up. With her back to Maria, she looked at the wall.

Seruk-.

“Isn’t it that I woke up Your Highness who was sleeping soundly for no reason?”

“Does not matter. I was about to wake up anyway.”

“You have a kind heart.”

Albrecht rose from his seat. At the same time Maria lay down on the bed.

Shortly thereafter, at 8 o’clock.

At the same time that the breakfast was served, Maria, the personality of the day woke up.

‘uh… ? why are you so tired… ?’

Because of the love affair with a male student all night and the all-night Maria, she had to fall asleep untimely.

*****

Unlike lunch and dinner in the dining room, breakfast at the academy is served in each room. like a prison. If there’s a difference, it’s that you can move around the room freely during breakfast.

“bruise! rice! Bob is here! Whoops!”

“Yes, rice is here. The menu is also very colorful. under… Right, this is the food.”

“bruise? why all of a sudden Evans expression is weird!”

“You, too, should be imprisoned somewhere in a remote dungeon and eat nothing but food like pig fodder for 111 days. Just thinking about it makes me sick.”

I’ve never been to this life, but I’ve been to prison often. So you can guess. That Tartarus in the Tower of Babel is the most terrible place out of all the prisons in the world.

I could take this opportunity to go to Maria’s room and dine with her, but I won’t. Because Maria’s roommate, Princess Albrecht, was there. It’s inconvenient, smart human beings.

“prison? what is that?”

“There is, a place where people are locked up.”

“Lock up? Young demons You were locked up last time. like that?”

“That’s what I did on purpose. could have come out at any time. That’s not a prison.”

“Woof woof?”

“A prison shouldn’t be a place where you can get out just because you want to. What is prison… like… Yes, Aru, do you remember that? When Aru first met me, Aru was trapped inside a square made of bars.”

“remember! bruise! An iron cage!”

“That’s right, that iron cage is a prison. of course… Although there are many different types of prisons.”

Right now, there is a food tray in front of me and Aru. A variety of appetizing foods are placed on the plate without being excessive. Considering it’s breakfast, I don’t think it was given too much.

Aru, a wolf beast, drools. Okay. As long as you don’t drool on my food, there’s no problem.

“Then do prisons give you something delicious like this?”

“What did you hear me say? Prison food is like pig roe? Do you want to eat pork fodder? Save me?”

“Kyung… ! no! no! I’m not going to jail!”

Aru, frightened by the word pig fodder, eats the food on the plate. Its sharp molars bite through bread and meat without mercy. I ate lunch leisurely next to him.

The dorm room was quite spacious. More like 3 or 4 people than 2 people. That means the facilities are good.

“Mum yum yum… .”

“Hey, is it delicious?”

“bruise! delicious!”

“Does my cooking taste good, or does this dish taste good?”

“bruise! Of course, this tastes better!”

“… It’s oddly upsetting that I can’t refute it. When you’ve finished eating, just get up. I should go before class starts.”

After you finish eating, you can put utensils and bowls on the desk. Then the cleaners come in and clean, collect, and go. while we have classes during the day. It is like a hotel system.

“bruise!”

When we came out of the room, dressed in school uniforms and carrying our textbooks, the students who had come out at the same time were looking at us and whispering. It seems strange that Aru, a female beast, comes out of a room with me, a male student.

But I have nothing to bow down to. Under Imperial Law, prisoners are classified as ‘humans’, but there is no gender classification. strange Somewhere between beasts and humans, between slaves and humans is the status of a prisoner within the empire.

That’s also why I asked Beatrice to be in the same room.

“A dog, a dog is a beast… ! Yesterday’s placement test turned upside down!”

“I heard that one of the Pantera Crew seniors in the third year is grinding his teeth… ! You can’t get involved with him!”

“what? 3rd year? Why is it Pantera Crew?”

“Yesterday, during the placement test, that senior brother had his whole body hacked up by that Soo-in… ! I called the priest of the church and healed the wound, but the trauma remains and I can’t even eat right now… !”

“Hey… ! Um, what kind of placement test did the whole body… !”

Ah, the whispering wasn’t from the same room as me.

You bastard, Aru, what the hell have you done and how long have you been here? If this happens, the whole school will be bullied.

If I had been in my previous life, I would have kicked Aru with a comfortable mind, but now I am an apostle of love and tolerance. I grabbed Aru’s hand as he was walking down the aisle with people staring at him in fear and horror.

“bruise?”

“Yumma, don’t pay attention to all those words. After all, it will all be forgotten.”

“What?”

“I understand everything. You just did what you were told, and as a result, the kids ended up avoiding it like that. Don’t worry though. Even if the entire school is your enemy, I will always be on your side.”

He said it with a kind smile. As a bonus, he stroked Aru’s hair. I hope he doesn’t get too upset over this.

“Kong? Why are you making strange noises all of a sudden?”

However, Aru looks like he doesn’t know why he didn’t understand what I was saying. What is it?

“Do you care? who? what?”

“… Are you hurt or anything like that? you? Can’t you see that the other kids are afraid of you?”

“bruise? is that weird? Should I be hurt?”

“… .”

Oh right. I forgot since I was in the human society with Aru.

Lang Wang. reigning presence. A person who stands in the position of a predator with overwhelming power, and exists firmly by trampling and biting his prey.

In the Demon Forest, where Aru’s whole life can be seen, Aru was an obvious predator. Even entering the second half, he has the power to not be pushed back even when compared to King Oh.

There was no monster that was not afraid of Aru, and the monsters that were choked by Aru’s claws expressed only hatred, curses, or fear. If you think about those reactions… .

“Keeek! Something like this devil! I will curse you even in death!”

“Sah, save me! save me! I’ll do anything to keep you alive! please!”

Hmm, on the other hand, the reaction of the students now is… .

“Don’t come close! Do you want to be hacked too!?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be bad if we became friends… ? I don’t think they’ll cut me down just because I’m approaching… .”

“What crazy things are you talking about! Chris is still trembling from his trauma!”

It is understandable that Aru is calm. Damn, I’m the only one who got the mood for nothing.

I walked through the buzzing students and entered the classroom. A classroom where only class A students can enter. There were about fifty people in the class.

You might think that fifty people in one class is too many, but this is the best academy on the continent. This classroom is where the students assigned to the ‘A class’ are located at the academy, where countless talented seeds gather. Fifty is a rather small number.

“omg… ! dog, canine… !”

“hey… Eyes, eyes… If you get caught, you won’t even have bones left… .”

“I heard from my roommate last night that he, a dog, bites people with his teeth… ? It’s a complete beast… !”

“Hey… ! Me, I just met eyes… !”

Students tremble at the rumors that have swelled. Even the children who were nobles on the outside were mediocre students without a bodyguard once they entered the academy. Aru’s inflated rumors… No, if you hear rumors that may have been inflated, you have no choice but to shrink.

“Hmph, no matter what, she is a prisoner. If I hit three hits with my hammer, you’ll fall out?”

“… Didn’t you see him fight?”

“hey! Suin friend! This guy says you’re a b*tch! If you stick, Ji wins unconditionally… Wow!”

“Hey man! Quiet! Why are you provoking me? It means that if you officially compete later during the performance evaluation or sparring, you will win! I didn’t eat breakfast this morning!”

“… ? I saw you emptying your school lunch this morning… Wow!”

At first glance, a male student who looks like he can wield a hammer well is using both hands to cover his friends’ mouths while trying to hold on to some weight. Anyway, that’s why male students.

Maybe soon someone will say, ‘Hey, get out of the way. won’t you die? Why are you scared of a kid like that? Can I show you?’ While holding out a challenge to Aru, the tendons in his wrists would be cut needlessly. An ominous future is clearly visible. A male student is a very simple seed.

Shuk-.

I went to Maria to find a place to sit. Maria was nowhere to be seen. Albrecht was nowhere to be seen. I would have liked to sit next to or behind Maria, but unfortunately, I have no intention of giving up.

The reason I attend this class in the first place is not to fill my head with new knowledge by taking the class, but because I want to see little Maria. I waited patiently for Maria.

drooling-.

“He is a warrior! The hero has arrived!”

“Kyaaa Warrior, I’m a fan! Please sign! I will serve you with the glory of the family!”

“To think that even the saintess is with you! Are you two friends already?”

The door opens and the hero and Maria enter. The students’ topic shifts from Aru to them. To young students, Maria, the daughter of the main god and the sword of the main god, and the warrior are superstars themselves.

There was no way that Maria had already become friends with the dragon. Because I don’t have time for that. Perhaps, for the future, we have to be active as the same ‘Hero Party’, so we’ll have time together in advance. Because that is the ‘fate’ of the saintess and hero.

Maria sat on the window sill with the warrior. My dream of sitting next to her was doomed, as the seats in the classroom were designed for two people.

But don’t be discouraged. Because there are seats in the back.

I took Aru and sat in the back seat of Maria and the hero, and patted Maria on the back. Maria flinched at the sudden touch and turned around.

“Hey, Maria! Did you have a good night last night?”

“Evans? oh yes I slept well. How was your dorm room, Evans?”

“Kukkut, it was the best. Arguably, it was the best night of my life.”

“yes… ? ah… that, that’s right What a comfortable sleep you had… .”

He says he slept well with a happy expression, but his voice has a hint of tiredness. Maria’s eyes look a little haggard.

Is it because I stayed up all night with Maria of the Night? It’s a funny situation. Last night, I coveted Maria’s cheek and smeared her kiss mark, but Maria woke up during the day and didn’t know anything and laughed. It’s so funny it’s going crazy.

“Evans… ? Then this one… ?”

“Ah, say hello to the two of you. This is my first friend, Mr. Evans. The person next to him is a dog Soo-in with the name Aru. As Evans-sama knows, this is the hero Frey.”

“Aha, you were the hero, right? Nice to meet you, my name is Evans Grant.”

Maria tries to introduce me, the hero, and Aru. I don’t really want to get close to the hero, but since Maria is leading it, I’ll have to pretend. I held out my hand as if to shake hands.

The hero grabbed my outstretched hand and shook it politely.

“This is the lowly sword of the Lord, Frey de Siegfried. nice to meet you.”

But for some reason, the gaze of the warrior looking at me is strangely profound.

Try something, it’s nothing.
