79 – expulsion

+++

“The person whose name has been called, please come forward.”

The faces of the first year cadets gathered at Lane’s calm words made a difference. I don’t know the reason, but isn’t it more strange that I can’t expect the first hero to call his name directly.

A low pitched voice begins to recite the names of the cadets. As each name is called, a shadow is cast on the cadets’ faces. Because the characteristics of the people she called were so clear.

The personnel called to the podium bow their heads as if they had committed a crime. Apart from the tired face, he is making an expression as if he is being stabbed.

Those who came forward were those who had at least one major accident. Dangerous people who drove their allies to the brink of annihilation, or who could not control their anger and tried to fight or attack their comrades.

Slightly over ten people were called out. Considering the number of first year cadets, it was by no means a small number.

The people on the podium glanced at Lane, who looked at them with criminal expressions. Some who tried to appeal to their emotions were already preparing excuses and superficial apologies.

“I called your name directly to inform you of your expulsion.”

The lane guard-on immediately got to the point without any additional words. It was not the look of Grein Guard-on, who politely returned an answer when he greeted him.

Currently, Lane was wearing an inorganic and emotionless expression. An expression as if looking at a pebble on the side of the road, not feeling any value to them.

Is this the original expression? Although it was obviously no different from usual, a strangely different atmosphere overwhelmed the cadets.

“The academy is a newly established facility. The reason I established this place is to raise people with enthusiasm to become warriors, even if they lack in qualifications.”

“Dean…”

The pink-haired girl who was standing in the middle of Lane cut off her words and slowly raised her hand. The cadets sitting there were stunned by Lane’s speech interruption, but Lane, the person in charge, allowed the girl to speak as if nothing had happened.

“I feel unfair… I didn’t get angry because I wanted to get angry… I just got angry without knowing because other people were so frustrated…”

One of Lane’s eyebrows dropped very slightly.

Are people too frustrated? That means, ‘Ron’s behavior in the labyrinth was frustrating.’ It was no different than giving a review.

Doubts arose. What did a first-year cadet believe in and evaluate the behavior of a man who worked at the forefront of subjugating the demon lord?

“Tell me.”

“Yes? What do you mean?”

“Of the party you fought with, who was the most frustrated?”

The girl’s eyes begin to scan the people who acted with her. Her gaze turns to the last bandaged man.

She didn’t like the man. Why is it that he deserves such attention just for fighting a man named Prion Coulson? He barely won the match once, so he didn’t like taking the lead and taking care of tools and potions as if he was anything, and he didn’t like every single action he took in actual combat.

What I really didn’t like was that the situation he was careful about and the things he told me to prepare were used in the right place.

I didn’t like the situation that was going in his favor to the point where I thought it was salty, and I didn’t like the other guys who trusted him like that.

So I just acted according to my feelings, but why did it end up like this? He himself performed well and succeeded in subjugating the labyrinth. I thought everything worked out, and I thought I could have done it with everyone else if it wasn’t for him.

The girl pointed at him. Like a sentence to someone you didn’t like.

“I acted like I knew it all, took the first step, took my own risk, ignored the opinions of others, and acted on my own! That person was right to be called, not me!”

It was this girl, not him, who acted like a know-it-all, stepped forward, and ignored opinions, but no one she collaborated with could speak up easily.

The girl’s voice grew a little louder as she judged that she was sympathizing with her because she was unable to speak easily under the pressure of Lane.

“A skirmisher, I tried to manipulate others one by one as if I were a king, and if I took one wrong step, I screamed and got angry! I… I…”

Tears welled up in the girl’s big eyes. It was the kind of look that, if someone who didn’t know the situation saw it, they would unconditionally defend her saying that she was right.

The girl had no intention of shedding tears. He tried to prove his innocence confidently and proudly, but the more he spoke, the more tears for some reason came to him. Contrary to his thoughts, the tears fell, but he thought that the situation was going well.

Everyone was quiet. I was listening to my own words. The idiots who were in a group with him were not able to open their mouths easily.

“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…”

The girl said that while wiping her tears. Lane lightly stroked the back of the girl’s head.

‘I won.’

Her body trembled as she foretold a perfect victory as she poured impatient tears into the smoke. It was because Lane grabbed her by the back of her hair and pulled her toward him, forcing their eyes to meet.

“Kyaaak!!”

“Miel, Miel Mirgul. Do you think I can’t tell a lie?”

Lane’s mood changed. Anger flickered in his eyes as he stared at her indifferently. The members of the silver dormitory, who had tasted Lane’s spirit once, reacted by closing their eyes tightly or turning their heads.

However, Miel was confident even after seeing Rain’s expression.

“Ha… hahahaha! Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of Promius Mirgul, a member of the Seven Stars! If I mess with it, I’ll be in big trouble, right?”

‘Is your father older? Or is the first hero stronger?’ Promius’ answer, not wanting to disappoint his daughter, who asked, and her eyes were shining, made her like this. Miel, stunned by Promius’ words that all seven stars have equal strength, still couldn’t fathom how strong Rain and his companions were.

“Is that so? Maybe so.”

Contrary to the nodding action, the power of her grip gradually grows stronger. Miel, who had endured the pain of five holes in the back of her head with gritted teeth, faced her and began pretending to be strong.

“I said the right thing, but what’s the matter? He did nothing but really hurt!”

There are people whose voices get louder when they are eaten by anxiety. Miel was such an axis. I tried to pretend to be strong to avoid expulsion, but it doesn’t seem to work for Lane.

Should I get down on my knees and beg? Just as she was contemplating changing her ways, the eyes on her stood out. The eyes that convey the trust of those who come forward after being called by the same name as himself.

Miel, who felt that it was more like passing on than trust, but she was already in a state of inspiration, ‘I’m against Grein!’ He was in a state of narcissism.

A burst of intracerebral drugs takes away fear. Her brain begins to churn out information about humans about the Rain Guardsons. write a sword use magic You can also use holy power. That’s it. There was nothing else, just like himself.

Lane sighed and let out a sigh filled with various emotions. If you think of such a person graduating from the academy and living an adventurer’s life claiming to have ‘came out of Hidin’s academy’…

Just imagining it was a sight that made my teeth tremble.

In that sense, Ron’s choice was correct. In this way, a human being who endlessly pushes himself up and drags on others would not have been able to change even if he educated with all his heart and soul. Isn’t this state even though I’ve been through a lot of lectures on the mindset of a warrior?

“I will not accept any disagreement.”

At Lane’s determined words, Miel bit his teeth and pushed Lane’s body away. He tried to be pushed back by his strong body, but he didn’t mind it and tried to leave the classroom with great spirit.

“Promius Mirgul.”

Lane’s words stopped at her footsteps. The voice calling her father was exceptionally low and gloomy, and she had no choice but to stop because it seemed that if she moved any further, she would not be able to turn it back.

Miel, who could no longer move his hands and froze in that position, heard Rain’s merciless voice.

“I hold him accountable for making disrespectful remarks to the cadets.”

It was a vague statement, but everyone, including Miel, could understand it. That a man named Miel Mirgul had already been expelled from Hidin’s academy.

“I guess.”

Of course, it wasn’t Miel who gave in to him. I couldn’t go back since I had come this far, so I stuck with that attitude, shut the front door with a thump, and left. He seemed to be consumed by his emotions.

Lane didn’t even look at her as she went outside and spoke in a slightly louder voice so that all the other cadets could hear.

“Those opposing cadets, please speak up right now. However, if the reason is unreasonable and you adhere to the same attitude as Miel Mirgul, I will consider myself and my colleagues hostile.”

Hostile the first hero and his allies. Those who knew what that meant shuddered.

Recognizing that the character Miel had already become hostile to the Rain Guard, some cautiously prayed for her soul.

After taking a look around the quiet hall, Lane took out a seemingly heavy leather pouch from her backpack and put it on the desk. There was a clicking, metallic sound of something hitting.

As she undid the opening of her tight pocket, she called out each name one by one.

“Excuse me, but I’m expelled. Cadet Ellen Gill.”

Rain calls out his name one by one and hands over a small amount of money. They, who had just tasted such intimidation for themselves, accepted the money she handed them with shaking hands and accepted the sentence without even being able to refute it.

“I didn’t really do anything wrong…”

“What should I do if I get expelled from here?”

“Dean, if you could take a look at it, wouldn’t it?”

Of course, those who had only to graduate from the academy refuted or appealed to their hearts, but they could not shake Lane, who had already made up his mind.

“Thank you for your hard work. You don’t have to come out tomorrow.”

“Dean.. please.. please..!!”

“Don’t appeal to the janjeong, please get out of here right now.”

Lane, who had dismissed them all with a calm tone, secretly examined Ron’s face. To find out what the weak-minded man thinks when he sees this.

The corners of his lips, which were always slightly raised, which he could not clearly see, were slightly lowered. It was a sign of regret. But the face that made that expression was not towards the cadets who looked like they had lost everything.

He lowered his head slightly and said, ‘I’m sorry for making you play this role’, his lips parted.

Lane barely managed to stop a smile on his face at the sight of him thinking only of himself. Because at this moment, it was as if only he existed in his mind. The vague twist of the corner of his mouth was enough to frighten the remaining cadets.

No one knows what happened to those who were kicked out of the academy. However, their future was undoubtedly bleak.

Even at Hidin’s academy, which is easy to enter but difficult to graduate from, it was not uncommon for people to be expelled after less than a year. The label ‘I was expelled’ will be attached to their backs for the rest of their lives.

Some people will survive by eating the food waste washed up in the gutter or the monsters that live there. Someone else could die of starvation while living an adventurer’s life while carrying a dishonorable title. Someone will curse the world, the lane, and the academy, gorge themselves on a bottle of alcohol. Some will take their own lives, some will be expelled from their families.

The academy, its faculty, and lane guards are not responsible for the future of cadets who do not belong to the academy. As long as they were outside of their affiliation, they had to take responsibility for their lives.
