Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 56

Episode 56:

For a moment, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I can’t believe I’m in first place.

Maybe the ‘0’ was omitted in the 10th or 100th place.

If I hadn’t done that, there was no way I would have come in first place as I couldn’t hunt properly.

It was clear that there was a typo.

‘The score…’

But the score I got was strange enough to be called a mistake.

96 points.

An average score, neither 100 nor 90.

I raised my hand and rubbed my eyes.

Okay, I’m looking at it wrong now.

How can 96 points be justified?

The only monsters my team caught were a few goblins, a troll, and an orc warrior.

Although trolls and orc warriors are difficult monsters for cadets to catch.

You get over 90 points for catching it.

Considering that goblins have 2 points and regular orcs have 4 points… even if a troll can’t do it, it’s over 70 points.

‘Is this what I told you to expect?’

When I interviewed with the principal, he told me what to expect.

At the time, I didn’t know what to expect.

I think I understand now.

What made it possible for me to take first place at an all-time high.

What’s even funnier is that Mahol and Reina, who were on the same team as me, were 16 points different from me.

This was completely about making me the unrivaled number one.

“Ha….”

It’s good to get first place.

No matter what, I knew that I was better than others.

Because it helps me skip a grade.

however.

‘You did too much to do this…’

There is a difference of nearly 20 points from 4th place.

This is equivalent to the score for killing 10 goblins.

No matter how good the score is, it’s the same.

There is no such thing as moderation.

I have nothing to say about this even if the cadets misunderstand that the teachers are favoring me.

“Hey, what is this?”

“96 points makes sense? “It’s only 5 points different from your best record!”

“This is something strange.”

It’s scary to think like that.

The cadets quietly expressed their dissatisfaction.

They said the score I got was too much.

Even the highest record was mentioned.

‘The highest record was probably… the current Sword Master.’

A commoner sword master who was born as a commoner and became the first sword master.

A genius swordsman who was an inferior student at the Academy until the age of 19 and became an Auror at the age of 20.

A renegade who ignored the courtship of the royal family and went straight to the empire.

The Academy complained, even mentioning him as a taboo word.

Moreover, as a sword master, unlike me, he entered the forest first.

But I got in last.

And even that was cut off midway, so the hunt had to end early.

So I have to be suspicious.

It’s not that I don’t understand their complaints.

Ironically, I decided to act more confidently.

‘If I look strange, they’ll be more suspicious.’

If I, the person in question, show lack of confidence in my score.

Rather, the cadets will see it as more strange and be suspicious.

They asked if I had asked the teachers for favors with power or money.

Although it may not be pointed at me directly.

No, I’ll act like nothing happened.

But that wasn’t a good thing.

In order for me, a freshman, to skip a grade, I need the implicit consent of the cadets.

What if I skip a grade while the cadets find it strange?

Cadets will implicitly express their dissatisfaction with the academy.

If that happens, there will be fewer people who want to enter the academy.

There is no such blow to the academy, which receives support in proportion to the number of cadets.

Moreover, if the number of cadets begins to decrease, even the children of nobles and merchants will stop coming.

If that happens, it may become impossible to recover.

Therefore, you must skip a grade with the cadets’ approval.

‘Is this a test?’

The principal is testing me.

I tried to find out how I would react amidst the cadets’ suspicions.

You probably want to see whether I will flinch in this situation or not.

This was his personal request, not my request.

That’s why I felt a little embarrassed about him.

What if I cower here and become suspicious of the cadets?

The principal said it was a mistake and would revise the grade he gave me.

But on the contrary.

What if I act confidently here?

Even though the cadets are suspicious, they will secretly wonder if they really did enough hunting.

This will reduce complaints, and there will be no need for the principal to revise the scores.

With arms crossed.

I tapped my forearm with my fingertips.

Talk.

So what should I do?

It’s

simple. All you have to do is confidently act as if that score is correct.

Sreuk.

I finished my thought by uncrossing my arms.

This was my chance.

Depending on what I do, there is a lot I can gain.

Eat.

I let out a small laugh and turned my back to the bulletin board.

The faces of the cadets were in my field of vision.

….

The noisy cadets fell silent.

In an instant, the audience became quiet and the cadets’ eyes focused on me.

I could see their eyes searching my face.

And they took a step back.

The cadets saw the smile on my face.

A confident look that has nothing to be embarrassed about.

I briefly glanced at them and walked away.

Trudging.

The cadets on the side where I walked moved to the left and right.

plod along.

After two steps, there were no more cadets left in front of me.

“Wow, did you see his face?”

“You’re so unlucky.”

“uh? I thought I was cool? You’re confident. “How can you be so confident when you have no skills?”

“I seemed to think it was a shame, but if I had been given a little more time, I could have beaten the Sword Master’s record! “It seems like he’s saying that.”

A voice came out among the noisy cadets.

“Anyway, that monstrous score is real?”

At those words, the cadets became quiet again.

96 points. Monster score.

I didn’t want to admit that score, but I didn’t want to have to admit it now.

The cadets fell silent.

***

The academy where the commotion about the monster had calmed down for a while.

Monster Raymond Millennium has made a fuss again.

Hunted trolls and monsters using sword techniques.

It turned out that there was only one person who received a monster score of 96 points.

And that monster is Raymond Millennium.

Among the cadets who were there when I went to check the bulletin board.

I saw the cadets who had been there where I had hunted the troll.

And when they found me and found out that I was number one, Raymond Millennium, they started spreading rumors.

“Hey, did you hear that rumor?”

“what?”

“madam. You know what! that! Raymond!”

“iced coffee. that. “It was crazy.”

“yes? But what’s even more amazing is that he was the one who hunted the troll!”

“what? crazy! “Wasn’t that a rumor?”

“No! “Someone who saw that came out!”

The rumor spread throughout the academy.

“Wow, that’s crazy. really. Are you the same age as us? “But you caught a troll.”

“Plus, I used a sword too! This is a first! “You’re 18 years old!”

The cadets gathered in one place to see the hero of the rumor.

“Ha…”

The training ground was empty.

There were no other cadets other than the scarecrow I took out, Mahol swinging the dagger next to me, and Ellis assisting me next to me.

“I’m not some kind of zoo monkey.”

But once you step outside the training ground.

“Is it him?”

“Wow, look at you swinging your sword. “It is art.”

“When did you show your sword skills? “I came here to see that!”

It was full of cadets who had gathered together to watch me.

“What is that guy next to me? “Isn’t your dagger skills unusual?”

“He. Isn’t it Mahol? Wow, he looks like that?”

“I guess you’re tall too? “You’re more handsome than I thought.”

And some of those who came to see me began to recognize Mahol next to me.

Mahol, who had grown rapidly as if the growth period had come all at once, had already become a young man.

He’s also quite a handsome young man.

In addition, the dagger skills he was currently practicing were unusual, so one by one, I began to take interest in him.

“me. “I like him.”

“It’s something different and attractive.”

“Why didn’t I recognize him!”

And eventually, Mahol’s fans also appeared.

Mahol does not open his mouth in front of others and adheres to mysticism.

There were also people who felt great attraction and followed along.

‘It feels like the main character has changed.’

Still, it didn’t feel bad.

Because it means recognizing the person who will become my subordinate.

And it was a car that felt burdened by the excessive attention from the cadets.

As the attention on me was dispersed, the burden lessened.

The rumor I needed had already spread enough.

No further attention is needed.

“young master.”

“uh.”

“They say the former vice principal was imprisoned in the royal dungeons.”

And good news to hear.

It was about the vice principal’s disposition.

The principal tortured the vice principal for a while to find the money and various stolen goods that the vice principal had stolen.

There was a time when I secretly visited him because I was curious about how they would torture him.

Despite his benevolent appearance, the principal was very tough in his torture methods.

And it was cruel.

He smiles kindly while using all the tools listed in the torture room one by one.

After all, people should not be judged by their appearance.

“I told you so!”

The vice principal shed bloody tears as he glared at the principal who was torturing him.

I was repeatedly treated with potions and then tortured.

The fat that was a symbol of wealth had been lost and became thin.

“Don’t lie. “I went to the place you mentioned, but there was nothing.”

“therefore! “Nothing but the safe!”

An awl is jabbed into the shoulder of an assistant principal who is telling the truth.

And the principal growled, glaring at him with cold eyes.

“Where did you steal it from?”

“So that’s the only place!”

I looked at that and scratched my cheek.

‘That’s the truth.’

Two safes in the vice principal’s office and private room.

All the goods stolen by the vice principal were contained in those two safes.

The vice principal was speaking honestly now.

But the principal didn’t believe it.

‘Because I already took it.’

I opened the safe as the vice principal said, but it was empty.

He couldn’t help but think that the vice principal was deceiving him.

This is the first time I feel sorry for the vice principal who fainted after being tortured to the end.

“It is said that murder contract and intimidation… have been added as charges.”

In addition to solicitation, countless other crimes were revealed.

The vice principal ended up rotting in prison for the rest of his life.

In addition, it was hung at the entrance of the kingdom’s capital once a day and was stoned by passers-by.

Still, I couldn’t die.

If you feel like you’re about to die, priests and healers give you blessings and treatment so you don’t die.

The vice principal has to live in such pain for the rest of his life.

‘The main character will eventually die as he steps forward.’

When the protagonist attacks the royal family, the prisoners inside are also killed.

If things go as they should, the vice principal will be killed at that time.

Liberation by the protagonist.

But unfortunately, I will stop the royal family from falling.

So in the end, he will be tortured to no end.
