Academy’s Genius Swordmaster Chapter 107

< 107. Baeksuje (7) >

#107

The incident was not concluded until deep dawn. People were crowded into the empty banquet hall.

Four people and one horse were members of the special adventure club and the remaining nine were all related to Baeksuje. To be exact people who were involved.

“Ahhh…ugh….”

“Ooh don’t move. “It hurts more.”

Asher said in a voice filled with concern. In front of him three men wearing janitor’s armor were sitting with their backs to each other and groaning. An invisible hand was grabbing them. Marja snorted at him as she slung his greatsword over her shoulder.

“Leave it alone. “They brought this upon themselves.”

“This girl…is she a half-breed of a giant? “What kind of power…”

“Aren’t you guys really weak? “What if adults don’t have that much power?”

Marja giggled. The men’s armor was dented as if they had been hit by a huge reindeer. It was the result of Marya’s swordsmanship. Her iconic septum shattered men’s ribs in just two hits.

“When I suddenly received a message I wondered what this was… Ronan how did he know this?”

“I don’t know either.”

The men were all poachers disguised as janitors. When I suddenly received a note telling me to go to Tower 13 where Varen’s office was I wondered what this meant but when I got there I saw that these two people were actually opening the door to the office. Braum who was crossing his arms cleared his throat as if he was displeased.

“Hmm! Poachers are invading this sacred hall of learning. “This is deplorable!”

“But…I’m glad I found out in advance.”

“Ttaaa.”

Ofelia who was standing next to her shook her head. Sita riding on her shoulder also flapped her wings in agreement.

Ophelia and Braum Sita teamed up separately to deal with the poachers who were waiting to steal the doppelganger. Since all of them were combatants it took quite some time but in the end we were able to subdue them safely. The woman who was kneeling at Ophelia’s feet trembled and murmured.

“Huh…sucking vampire….”

“fizzle.”

Ophelia placed her index finger on her lips. There were two small red holes in her woman’s neck. Even though it wasn’t just her the poachers that Ophelia Jo had brought in were somehow gaunt. Ophelia who had been stroking her lady’s head looked up at her braum and said

“They were bad people… right?”

“I didn’t say anything!”

“Yes…thank you. “I was so hungry…”

Braum nodded his head like a broken doll. Cold sweat was running down his temples. Ever since he found out Ophelia’s identity he had been having nightmares about sucking blood from her whole body every three days.

“Are we all there now? “Except Ronan.”

“Oh there’s still one person left.”

“who? Ah that person was also a member of our team.”

Asher nodded. Suddenly the door to the small banquet hall opened and a boy with dark blue hair came in. Schlieffen was wearing a perfect school uniform unlike the other members who looked disheveled. Braum laughed when he saw that he was wearing his tie too tightly.

“Haha it’s amazing too.”

“Aristocratic…an aristocrat.”

Ophelia also nodded in agreement. Schlieffen’s right hand held the neck of an old man in a suit.

Judging by the fact that the two people’s clothes were stained with blood it seemed like things had not gone smoothly. Marya recognized the old man’s face and widened her eyes.

“…That grandfather is quite a famous person isn’t he?”

I remember accidentally seeing it while looking through the list of wanted criminals. He was a criminal who gained considerable notoriety not only for poaching but also for serial murder. He was at the level of Auror awakening so he was definitely not someone a student could catch.

Schlieffen walked forward with great strides and threw the old man in front of the other poachers. Asher asked worriedly.

“Oh you’re not hurt…? “The blood…”

“It’s not my blood.”

A dry answer came back. In fact there wasn’t a single scratch on his body. Schlieffen who was looking around the small banquet hall opened his mouth.

“Didn’t you say there were ten people in total? “Why are there only nine?”

“Well…one of them is Ronan….”

“I see. Did you kill him?”

Schlieffen hesitated. He reacted calmly as if he had expected it. Asher who was rummaging through her pocket took out one of her notes and began to read it.

“Uh huh… So what happened is….”

It was an additional note I received from Ronan around the time all the poachers were caught. Likewise the note carried by the crow contained information about the duel with Aarondale and the capture of the Omega doppelganger.

Schlieffen shrugged his eyebrows when he heard the name Aarondale. I never would have guessed that the other one was him.

He was the strongest one so he gave orders to run away if he encountered them so it was funny how he caught him. A faint smile appeared on Schlieffen’s lips.

“…You keep going up too.”

“huh…?”

“no. “I will go.”

Schlieffen who had finished his business was about to turn his back. bang! Suddenly the double doors swung open and a boy with a bandage on his chest came in. A familiar voice rang out.

“Why are you all gathered together?”

“…Ronan?”

“It’s been a while. “You unlucky bastard.”

The members were startled by the sudden appearance of Ronan. He was covered in blood beyond compare to Schlieffen and was holding a long rope in his hand. Ronan looked around the small banquet hall and was amazed.

“One two three four… Oh you caught them all?”

All the poachers who had been ordered to be caught were captured. I thought I would miss at least one person but I didn’t expect to catch them all.

Since Nabirose had wiped out the entire transport team waiting outside the school it was safe to say that there were no poachers left in Phileon. Ronan who was giggling looked at his members one by one and opened his mouth.

“Everyone worked hard. “No one got hurt right?”

“Uh yeah. There is no one. “Is Ronan…Omega Doppelgänger?”

“Oh that. I was already going to introduce you. And on the way I made unexpected income.”

“Unexpected income…?”

“I’ll know it when I see it. “Now come in.”

Asher tilted his head. At that time Ronan pulled on the rope he was holding in his hand.

– I couldn’t protect anything.

– I love you.

Soon two men walked into the small banquet hall from behind the door. The men tied tightly with rope stood on either side with Ronan in the middle. The members’ eyes grew so big that they seemed to pop out.

“Ro-ro three Ronans…?!”

“What is happening?!”

“Bwait?!”

Marja covered her mouth with both her hands. Sita who was flying towards Ronan stopped in the air. Original Ronan didn’t say anything and just laughed cheerfully.

“How similar are they?”

The members could not say anything. The other two people’s faces looked exactly like Ronan’s. A total of three Ronans were facing the members side by side.

Both men were wearing thick blindfolds so a detailed comparison was impossible but it was definitely Ronan. Original Ronan sighed.

“Understand that you are blindfolded. When Omega encountered Varen she transformed into Drake. “That lion got into trouble with that kind of monster…”

Ronan and Varen had to work hard again to catch the doppelganger who had transformed into Drake. The blindfold was a means to prevent doppelgängers from turning into other troublesome beings.

The three Ronans each had a different appearance. Ronan on the left was as large as an adult and was wearing an Imperial uniform and blood was dripping at his feet.

The Ronan on the right looked the same as the current Ronan but he was wearing a stylish uniform that a crown prince might wear. Asher asked in confusion.

“Did you just catch the alpha? when?”

“Well it just happened. “He was on his way.”

“…Who ran into Alpha?”

Suddenly Marya opened her eyes and glared at Ronan. The members shrugged their shoulders at the low voice. Finally Ronan opened his mouth.

“me.”

“what?”

“Fuck me.”

Ronan sighed. While returning to the main building carrying a sleeping Adeshan he encountered a fluffy puppy. The puppy that was perking her ears suddenly transformed into Ronan. Ronan suddenly felt ashamed and twisted his lips.

“I guess…I guess he liked me….”

“What is that…”

Although she had always thought that there was no such thing as a loved one she had no idea that this would result. Marya’s eyes were trembling as she could not accept the situation.

“Now go in.”

Ronan put the Omega doppelganger into the chest. Its body was much softer than that of a human so it was easy to put it in.

This time it was a car that was trying to insert an Alpha doppelganger. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind that it would be a waste to end it like this.

A creature that transforms into someone you love. No doubt on the day of Baeksuje it would have been difficult to look around because there were so many people.

“…But I already got it shall we have some fun? Hey morning star of the empire.”

“what?”

Schlieffen turned her head. At the same time Ronan removed the Alpha doppelganger’s blindfold. It was the moment when the eyes of the doppelganger and Schlieffen met.

The Alpha Doppelganger’s body bubbled and transformed into a white-silver-haired woman. Iril who was tied up with rope smiled brightly.

-Wow Mr. Schlieffen! hello!

“What the…!”

Schlieffen’s face lit up. Ronan burst into laughter as he left the small banquet hall. The other members who saw Iril’s face let out an exclamation. cried Schlieffen who had completely lost his composure placing his hand on the hilt of his sword.

“How rude…don’t you dare tie this sheep to a rope or something!”

“Does it matter now? You really like my sister. ”

“this guy!”

“yes. yes. “Then next is our loser.”

Ronan turned the doppelganger’s body towards Asher. The doppelganger that blinked his eyes bubbled up again. Asher who belatedly realized the situation let out a scream.

“Oh no!”

But it was already too late. The doppelganger’s chest swelled and the rope became taut. The Alpha doppelganger who instantly transformed into Marya smiled at Asher.

-cutie! Should I live with my sister?

“Oh no…!”

Asher whose legs became weak collapsed in her place. Marya’s eyes widened. She said her face red as she looked down at her Asher.

“You cutie…”

“Ma marya! “This is…!”

“…did you like me?”

Marya who had been habitually stroking Asher’s head stopped her hand. Asher froze. A crying voice came out of his mouth as he lost his ability to speak.

“That… wow… ugh….”

“Ahaha I’m a little embarrassed….”

Marya scratched her cheek and smiled. An awkward silence fell between the two. Tears suddenly welled up in Asher’s eyes as he looked at the two Maryas alternately.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!”

Asher suddenly stood up and ran out of the small banquet hall. A sad cry echoed through the hallway. Marya who was standing dumbfounded muttered quietly.

“You cutie…me….”

“yes. “Miss Marja look here.”

However there was no time to get lost in sentimentality. Ronan immediately turned the doppelganger towards Marya. screamed Marya covering her face with her superhuman reaction speed.

“Ha don’t do it! “If you show that to me I’ll kill you!”

“okay. Okay look here. “It only changes when our eyes meet.”

“Don’t do it! “Aaaah!”

Screams continued. Despite Ronan’s efforts Marya ended up leaving the small banquet hall without making eye contact with her doppelganger. Ronan tried to show the doppelganger to Braum and Ophelia but the two had already escaped through the window. Ronan feeling helpless licked his appetite.

“Oh this isn’t fun.”

Schlieffen had already left so the small banquet hall was empty. A mixture of different voices was coming from outside the window.

The sound of horses the growling of animals and the sound of metal clashing… It was the sound of the people who had taken care of the situation preparing for the Baeksu Ceremony. Suddenly a question arose.

‘Anyway…Is it possible to love yourself while hating yourself?’

What Ronan hates is his past self who could not protect anything. If you think about it carefully it was absurd for the alpha doppelganger who turned into your lover to turn into you.

“I don’t know what happened….”

Ronan who was smoothing his chin stood in front of the Alpha doppelganger. The moment their eyes met the doppelganger’s shape distorted and the transformation began.

“hmm?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. The outline that was beginning to take shape was different from before. His golden hair turned black and he grew tall enough to have to slightly raise his head.

In the end the doppelganger that was transformed did not take on its own appearance. A heartbreakingly nostalgic voice fell into the small banquet hall.

– Corporal.

“…her.”

Ronan laughed. The ridge of his nose suddenly turned cold at the unexpected sight. Ronan wiped his eyes with his sleeve looked up at his doppelganger and opened his mouth.

“I guess I respected him.”

The eve is over. The dark blue sky was slowly becoming diluted. The day of unemployment has arrived.

****

The commotion that occurred last night was kept a complete secret. Ronan who slept for about two hours headed to Tower 41 where Jaradin was located as soon as the sun came up. Not long after knocking on the door Jarudin dressed in pajamas greeted him.

“Ronan…? “What’s going on at this hour…?”

“I’m sorry for coming to you all the time. “Please open the way.”

“road…?”

“Why is that there? “The passage leading to Professor Secret’s office.”

Jardin’s head which had just woken up was sticking out like a magpie’s newly built house. He opened his mouth with his eyes half closed.

“Ah…you mean Separaccio. “It’s a long-awaited festival but you’re not enjoying it.”

“You should enjoy it. “Let’s just take care of this.”

“That’s right…you live a very busy life.”

The two headed towards the bookshelf on the office wall. When Jarudin took out a few books and chanted a spell the bookshelves receded and a path appeared.

“Kashpa Lunajie Delphirim.”

“thank you. “See you later.”

Ronan left a short thank you and strode down the aisle. A study room was revealed surrounded on all sides by books. A child was sitting on the floor and reading a book. Secrit recognized Ronan and shook his hand.

“Oh Ronan. “It’s been a while since I saw you.”

“It’s been a while Secret.”

“So what brought you to this old man?”

Secret laughed stroking his nonexistent beard. He seemed to be confused as he had just turned into a child. Ronan who had been silent opened his mouth.

“I have to do it for you. “No matter what it takes.”
