Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 58

Episode 58

: The principal called Raymond to make amends.

Although he gave a high score, he thought it was too small a reward.

So I called him.

He is always caught by the cadets during recess, so if he calls out at that time, the cadets will definitely find it strange.

Even though there is a justification for monster scores and skills.

It was best to sing during class, when there were less stares.

And I decided to think about compensation together with Raymond.

This is separate from the ‘favor’ he is doing.

Because it was something I wanted to do personally.

But what he said when he came was beyond imagination.

Please let me skip a grade.

There was no major problem with the grade skipping itself.

Rather, it was even weirder that he stayed in that grade with such monstrous skills.

You can skip at least two grades.

but.

To senior year.

The graduating class in front of him was the problem.

That was a matter that was somewhat beyond the principal’s authority.

The score he gave Raymond is a big problem that cannot be compared.

‘Maybe we’ll have to fight the whole cadets.’

For the cadets and the Academy, the senior year was a place that should not be tampered with.

The threshold to graduating class is so high and steep for cadets that even teachers can’t cross them hastily.

The graduating class at the academy were people with different powers than nobles.

No matter how good the education system of famous schools is, academies also have their own merits.

That means support from the royal family.

Royal support.

This was amazing not only financially, but also huge in other ways.

One of the royal family’s investments in the academy was the cadets who graduated from the academy.

The idea was that those who graduated would be appointed as knights.

The appointment of a knight by an ordinary nobleman and the appointment of a knight by the royal family are different in weight.

Although it was different for famous noble families such as the Earl of Millennium, the appointment of knights by ordinary nobles did not have much significance.

He was simply a being higher than the common people, nothing more or less.

Even though he had no skills, he was able to be appointed as a knight because he was appointed as a knight by a nobleman.

However, the appointment of royal knights is different.

Appointment as a knight is given after thorough verification of skills.

Even among nobles and commoners, greater significance was attached to the appointment of royal knights.

Aside from that, those who are appointed knights can get jobs in the royal family or be noticed by other nobles.

That is why commoners without a proper vision gather at the academy.

As the academy produced many graduates, there were many things that fell to them.

Therefore, in the early days, the threshold for graduating class was not very high.

The graduation class was a place that anyone could enter as long as they had the right skills.

‘The Sword Master’s defection.’

But soon a big problem arose.

A student who was said to be a tremendous talent at the academy and who had even become an Auror ended up working under the empire rather than the royal family or the kingdom’s nobility.

In addition, since then, he has become a sword master and has contributed to the growth of the power of the empire and the weakening of the power of the kingdom.

Since that incident, the threshold for graduating class has become so high.

Not only is it supported by ability, but also a noble heart toward the royal family and difficult trials.

Because of this, there were many cadets who left the academy without being able to make it to the graduating class.

Since then, the graduating class has become a symbol of the Academy.

A place that cannot and should not be overlooked.

Where you have to be qualified.

‘It’s not like I’ve been a cadet for several years, and I’m a freshman and I’m just starting my senior year…’

Of course, it wasn’t like there was no history of lower grades skipping to the senior year.

However, the problem was that the cadet who skipped a grade was the sword master.

If you really wanted to skip a grade, you needed a good reason.

There is enough justification for cadets to agree that it is right to skip a grade.

‘It’s a separate issue from skill.’

Raymond’s power has already been proven.

The same goes for hunting trolls.

The moment he showed the sword skill, the symbol of a sword expert, it was impossible to argue against his skills.

However, the problem was that regardless of one’s ability, there was a procedure to advance to the graduating class.

However, Raymond ignores the procedure and asks to skip a grade.

This was a bigger problem because he was the principal and not Gra, the principal.

This could lead to concerns that he was abusing his power.

“I need to hear why you asked me to skip a grade.”

If it were any other cadet, I would have stopped talking nonsense and just left, but Raymond was different.

I already received some help from him.

Above all, what he said now was to ask for the ‘favor’ he had promised.

The principal lifted the tea, moistened his dry mouth, and looked at Raymond.

***

The principal seemed more embarrassed than expected.

He was shocked when I heard that I was going to skip a grade.

I knew very well what senior year meant at the academy.

So it was understandable that he was embarrassed.

‘But aren’t you too surprised?’

To be honest, when I asked you to skip a grade, it seemed like I was half-missing it.

I knew that it was impossible to skip a grade right away.

So I didn’t think they would do it right away.

I just meant that I was going to ask you this, so please prepare in advance.

“Hmm… please let me skip a grade…”

But the principal took it more seriously than I thought.

I was immersed in agony while repeating the words ‘grade skipping’ and ‘graduation grade’.

I was rather embarrassed by that sight.

What I said without much meaning, as if I was just nudging him.

The principal attached too much meaning to it.

‘Did I say please?’

no.

I didn’t say the word please.

I asked if I could simply skip a grade.

But why are you taking it so seriously?

“Why are you asking me to skip a grade?”

In the end, he asked me with a serious face if he couldn’t find the answer.

In response to that question, I placed my hand on my crossed legs and patted them.

“Because I have a lot of work to do.”

I don’t know what the main character is doing, but I can’t waste my time at the academy for years with nothing more to gain.

At that time, I have to prepare for the main character’s attack and prepare for my future.

As long as 3 years, as short as 1 year.

Inside, the protagonist will begin to move in earnest.

Although he did not acquire the talent for swordsmanship, he will not slow down attacking the kingdom even if he gains other talents.

The main character I knew was that kind of guy.

A massacre who uses everything possible to kill humans, regardless of means.

A murderer who lives on anger and hatred.

‘Get out as quickly as possible and build strength.’

The errands at the academy are already over.

Its primary purpose was to run away from the protagonist, but its primary purpose disappeared when it met the protagonist.

And the next goal, the capture of Mahol, was successfully accomplished.

I won his heart by helping his younger brother get out of the dump and even giving him treatment.

And through my outburst, I made him instinctively fear me and follow me.

When the two most important goals have been achieved, what is the need to take any more time?

The reason to go to the Academy disappeared immediately after obtaining Mahol.

Nevertheless, there was a reason why I had to graduate from the academy.

‘I need to be appointed a knight for the work I will do from now on.’

Once I leave the academy, I will not return to the count family.

I had a place to go.

And that place is better than the name Raymond Millennium.

There was more need for the name Sir Raymond.

Because the place I’m going to go is a place where family names don’t have much meaning.

Rather, it was a place where the title of knight was more valid as proof of one’s skills.

To even go there, you have to be appointed a knight.

Of course, he was able to receive a knighthood from the count’s family.

In fact, half of the family’s knights had been knighted by Count Millennium.

However, in the place where I am going, the appointment of a knight from the royal family is given greater value than from the count’s family.

No matter how famous the knights were, it was no different.

‘If you go in the name of the millennium, it could have the opposite effect.’

It was also a contradictory place where knights were welcome, but the self-restraint of famous families was not.

Because I have extreme contempt for those who use their family’s prestige on their backs.

In that sense, graduating from the academy was a useful tool for me.

No matter how noble a person is, in order to be appointed as a knight by the royal family, one must show a certain level of achievement and skill.

And the road is very difficult.

It is especially difficult for nobles like me, who are widely known as incompetent idiots, to be appointed knights.

Because I have to openly warn the nobles around me.

But the academy is different.

There were no nobles of higher rank than me, and above all, this was a merit system.

If you already show skills like me, the cadets will admit it even though they may be jealous.

Since the majority were commoners to begin with, there was no way they could rebel against me.

“There is a lot of work to do…”

The principal thought over what I said and nodded slightly as if he had decided on something.

“I’m sure you understand that we need a reason to skip you to the senior year.”

“yes.”

“But if I try to create that cause myself, I’m sure there will be a big problem.”

I agreed to the principal’s words by nodding my head.

If the principal himself tries to skip a grade for me, there will be a lot of controversy within the academy.

It’s an abuse of power, and it’s not like I was asked to do it.

No matter how much I showed my dark side, this was a different problem.

No matter how powerful the talent you have, you cannot enter the graduating class, which is the symbol of the academy.

Those who are now in the graduating class have worked hard for several years to get into the graduating class.

What I do is no different than ignoring that effort.

“So you have to make up a cause. “I will make a scaffold for you, so step on it carefully and climb up.”

“thank you.”

I bowed my head.

Because this was a huge burden to him, separate from the ‘favor’ I could do.

But he smiled and waved his hand.

“You don’t have to be grateful. “You might blame me later.”

“yes…?”

“Hehehe.”

At the time, I didn’t know what those words meant.

I thought he said this simply to reassure me and to prevent me from feeling too grateful.

And it didn’t take long for the thought to go away.

next day.

As usual, I woke up at the same time as the sun was rising and Alice urgently came to visit me.

It was a far cry from her usual calm behavior.

I was a little puzzled by that.

Why is she so urgent?

Did Mahol have an accident?

“Young master, you’re in big trouble!”

And my thoughts soon disappeared as she continued speaking.

And only then did I understand the meaning of the principal’s words, ‘Don’t complain later.’

“It’s over there!”

“Kill!”

I became a fugitive overnight.
