The Teachers Who Abandoned Me Are Obsessed With Me

20 – I’m not happy you saved me

“Big, big. Great.”

Jeanne kept clearing her throat and looked at me.

Because she keeps saying good-bye, the thought of dropping Jeanne in the preliminaries comes up strongly.

Jeanne asked me subtly, bringing her body closer to me.

“Are you… Can you tell me what boys like?”

Another silly question.

I ignored him without even making eye contact.

But Jeanne’s words continued.

“If I had to ask the boys at the academy, I couldn’t because they had a lot of eyes. I need to get some information from some nerdy boy, do you know how? You are a boy too.”

Is there such a thing as a boy with a crush?

Do girls of this age express the men they like in a negative way?

The start of the tournament is just around the corner, but seeing that they are talking about nonsensical love, it feels very relaxed.

“…… If you want to get something, show sincerity.”

For example, hard training in swordsmanship.

A sincere appearance comes to others as a good feeling.

Jeanne’s eyes widened like the full moon.

“Ugh… You mean to make me like you?”

“Yes.”

“I have a crush on a boy……… I’ve never worn a dress before… Ha, why for a man like that…….”

The focus of the conversation is off. Why did the call to practice swordsmanship change to One Piece? All you have to do is wear riding clothes that are comfortable for swordsmanship.

Jeanne frowned and muttered.

“But…… It’s because the same boy said it.”

Jane let out a long sigh. Kneeling on her knees and clutching her head, she rose a moment later with her calmed face.

“Thank you! Thanks to you, I came up with a way.”

Is it finally over?

Jeanne smiled cheerfully as she proposed to me.

“You want to advance to the finals too, don’t you? Will i protect you? In return for teaching me a good way, I’ll protect you until the finals!”

“Go away.”

I really don’t need it.

Jane’s face was once again stained with surprise.

Colosseum official seats.

The famous nobles were seated.

The organizer of the tournament, the Duke of Magière, and his sponsor, the Marquis de Langelo, and others gathered in the capital.

The relatively low-ranking nobles were busy rubbing their hands and keeping an eye on the great nobles.

Among those they pay attention to, the highest is of course 3rd Princess Cornelia Innin Ishtar.

Aristocrats flocked to the princess, who was in the most prestigious position.

“Your 3rd Princess, you are really beautiful.”

“Isn’t the seat uncomfortable? There is a magic cushion developed by our shopping district. How about it?”

“Your 3rd Princess, there is an academic seminar next month. Could you please brighten up the place…….”

Aristocrats crowding around the princess like chicks, chattering.

“I’m fine. Make sure you can watch the game comfortably. Academic seminars seem to be difficult on my schedule.”

The princess looked at them once and spat words of humility. The princess moved only slightly so that the colorful accessories would not fall off.

She didn’t like them.

‘There are always useless people.’

The trustees are agonizing over how to carry the glory of the imperial family on their backs.

Even if you put your trust in them, you won’t get anything in return for your trust.

In that sense, Princess Cornelia liked knights.

Knights watching the nobles with sharp eyes in close proximity of Cornelia.

They are only interested in loyalty to their lord and swordsmanship.

Reliable articles.

In the Empire’s politics, where shady strife ensues, these people were precious.

‘Because I can rest in peace.’

The current emperor of the empire, Ea III, is old.

A situation where you have to think about the next emperor.

However, to select only one emperor, all of Emperor Ea’s children had good abilities.

The crown prince, the 1st prince, is a brilliant scholar, and the 2nd prince is a war hero.

The 1st princess is the great wizard, and the 2nd princess is the head of the eastern nobility.

It wouldn’t be strange if someone ascended to the throne.

I wonder if the first prince seized the empire, but he couldn’t.

The 1st Prince is just a scholar who is keen on theories.

Although the aristocrats in the capital swear allegiance to the first prince, most of the local nobility praised the second prince. Because the 2nd prince is a war hero.

‘…… If Obama passes away, a civil war will break out.’

Since the power of the first prince is ambiguous, it is obvious that the imperial family will fight each other to become emperor.

There are already many assassins coming to her, so Cornelia was always in a state of tension when she was doing her outside activities.

Cornelia glanced at the Duke of Demagier.

Unlike the flattering lower nobles, the Duke of Demagieres sits boredly stroking his mustache. Demazière, who has not yet declared that he will support a certain royal family. Known as a bat, he will move when the trend is decided.

To be honest, Cornelia did not expect that DeMazière would support her.

‘Because the Duke of Demazière will join the next emperor. I’m not greedy for the position of emperor.’

She was more interested in protecting her people somehow than her greed for her imperial power.

To survive the anticipated civil war.

It would be nice to get to know some decent aspirants in this competition.

Do you need at least one more talent?

Cornelia looked down at the amphitheater.

There are people who stand out.

Sias, the first disciple of Changsung.

Changsoo, winner of the 24th Western Preliminary Round and long fought against heretical nations, is no longer at the level of an aspiring person.

He had a nice smile on his blue armour.

“Sias-sama!!”

“Please look this way!! Kyaaagh!”

The ladies in the audience screamed shrilly and threw flowers at him.

Skills are good, but he is a popular man for his good looks.

Quite a few nobles were swallowing saliva and trying to recruit him.

‘There are many people besides me who are making recruitment plans.’

A knight tournament is a stage for real battles, but in other words, it is a place where great knights can be brought.

It was in order to contact these knights that famous mercenaries, knights, and nobles took up seats, even buying expensive seats.

In other words, the recruitment competition.

“Your Majesty, let the contest begin.”

The Duke of Demagier approached her before she knew it.

The lower nobles were scattered.

Is it time? Said the princess.

“Okay.”

After the princess gave her permission, the duke bowed down to show her, then went up to the railing and spread his arms.

“Brilliant futures of the empire! Welcome to the 31st Humbaba Central Congress!!”

“Waaa!!”

Breaking cheers.

The Preliminaries for the Humbaba Central Conference have begun.

※

I recalled the rules.

Battle until 16 of the contestants remain.

You win by making your opponent incapacitated or giving up.

I looked at the contestants once again.

I don’t see anyone trying to give up.

As expected from the children’s competition, killing is prohibited, but limbs can be severed. Pretty good practice.

I drew my longsword. A large man is approaching me. He comes to you on his own, there are many gaps in his size.

Which sword should I use? Anything that comes to mind can be unfolded.

Except for the sword of Gaebyeok. The Sword of Gaebyeok still lacks strength stats.

‘Let’s improve our swordsmanship this time.’

Like improving Winter Queen’s sword, it would be quite helpful to see and improve your opponent’s swordsmanship. When I lived in the mountains, I didn’t have a Dalian opponent, so I never tried it.

It’s going to be a pretty fun experience.

I saw my opponent. The other person got close to me and grinned in a thick voice.

“I haven’t heard that a kid like you passed in the regional qualifiers. Are you a poor academy student?”

I didn’t answer.

I hate fighting with words. I just cut his leg short with my longsword, and the hulking face turned red.

Fit!

Blood soaking the gauntlet’s pants. He nervously raised his sword.

“You dare…… ! Cut me!? I will not forgive you!!”

A large sword that will strike soon. The hunk swung his sword at random. I try to keep my shape, but it’s really bad. I was hoping for a sword that could be improved.

I sighed and raised my mana. He showed poor swordsmanship, so he was going to throw his arms away.

The big man’s arms were cut off by my sword. He tried to raise his mana in the same way and fight against me, but he was easily crushed as if slicing soft tofu.

A big man with a blank expression, as if he couldn’t believe what had happened to his body.

I cried out only when blood dripped from my arms.

“aaa!!!”

The hunk fell to the floor and screamed. Judges come running and drag him away. Similar sights occur here and there.

Participants who tried to approach me fell away after seeing my movements.

‘…… I’ll have to go find it.’

Please show a good figure.

I went straight through the arena. He cut the opponent’s stomach for a long time and kicked it. If he wasn’t rude, he wouldn’t even take his arm. I must have eliminated about 20 people, and a long bloody road was created behind me.

“What…… That boy knight. Was there a boy among the regional qualifier winners?”

“No. At least they are aspiring adults.”

“Heh heh, anyway, the winner is Changsung’s disciple, Shias.”

There was a conversation in the crowd as if they were exploring me.

Is the man named Shias a wannabe wearing blue armor? He is one of four that looked usable. Intrigued.

I went to Sias.

The man who pulled all of her blonde hair behind her was facing Selene with swords. Her long spear aimed at Selene’s vital point, and Selene struggled to block it.

I thought Selene was fighting Jeanne, but she is fighting a man in a black uniform. Is it not easy to meet? There were many participants in a small space.

Five men blocking my way.

All of them left long scars on their abdomens and threw them towards the referee.

After they disappeared, I was able to reach Sias.

Selene is on the defensive.

I deflected the spear about to pierce her shoulder.

Chang!

The eyes of the blond man, Shias, were mixed.

“…… Can you stop this?”

The Spear of Sias was quickly retrieved. I’m fine. This man made the right decision and took a defensive stance.

Selene fell beside me, gasping for breath.

“Hey, hey… Great! Mandible.”

Just now, Selene couldn’t even properly unfurnish the Winter Queen’s sword when dealing with Sias.

The thing that was completely caught up in Shias’s spearmanship and played with.

Selene’s arms trembled and she somehow tried not to miss her sword.

The skills are lacking, but the will is quite good.

“When dealing with her spear, close the distance.”

So I gave her advice. Thanks to Selene, she is using teleportation in her own way, so she is also a kind of reward.

Selene looked up at me as if she didn’t understand.

“Hey, hey… why are you helping me If I fall, isn’t it good because the qualifier ends sooner? I don’t know who you are.”

I like sparring with at least one more person.

In other words, the later the qualifying round ends, the better.

“Okay, go to the corner.”

“As an aspiring knight, I am not happy to be saved.”

“I don’t say it twice.”

“…… Okay.”

Selene went to the audience. His face was red, as if he knew the shame of being a swordsman. Since another contestant will go to Selene anyway, Selene will abstain.

Sias is mine.

He grinned and dropped his spear.

“The girl from the north is unexpectedly popular. Such a cute knight is coming. Where are you from?”

“I don’t know.”

“You have a lot of secrets. Okay, shall we talk in a duel then?”

A man with whom the story can be communicated.

I held the longsword in one hand and turned his body sideways.

When dealing with spears, it is best to have as little exposed parts of the body as possible.

Shias pointed the blade at me, his eyes shining.

Sias’ muscles inflate his upper body.

Which direction will the spear blade come in?

I didn’t know you’d experience proper spearmanship, not swordsmanship.

As if interrupting my thoughts, Duke DeMaziere’s voice resounded.

“The preliminaries are over!! Everyone, please let go of your weapons!”

The match is over.

The rising tension disappears.

Shias smiled and retrieved his spear.

“It’s too bad.”

…… I’m getting excited.
