Chapter 126: I Have No Choice but to Admit It
“The whole world, not everyone can aim for the top. I think that’s inevitable, but at least make an effort to prevent the consequences from falling on commoners… that might be the responsibility you guys have to bear.”
“You can’t turn a blind eye to the harsh reality… Hypothetically, hypothetically, what if Ishud decided to do something about it?”
“Hahaha!!! Philip~~~ are you really asking that?”
When people look at him, Ishud’s face becomes that of a demon… a devil.
“I have quite a bit of money on my own. With that, I’d hire the underworld folks to gather information and kill them one by one. Depending on the situation, I might even pay the underworld folks extra to show them a hell so terrible they’d want to die, and then kill them.”
“That would… create a sea of blood.”
“That’s exactly what it would be. Huh? What’s the matter, Big Boobs? You think it’s too much?”
“… It’s about half and half.”
“Oh~~~ That’s quite something. If you had completely denied my idea here, I’d have to reconsider our relationship.”
Too extreme a thought?
Indeed, from the perspective of typical nobles, once they get credible information, the rest is resolved with violence. That might be seen as barbaric, deserving to be called savages.
However, everyone present knows that not all nobles are virtuous.
“Until now, they have relentlessly imposed unreasonable demands on commoners and those in weaker positions, making them taste hell. So, it’s not surprising if it comes back to them.”
“Given my position, I probably shouldn’t voice that thought, but… those who suffered would likely wish for it.”
“……Prince. While I don’t exactly dislike that you can think like that, be careful not to let those words slip when you return to your family or the academy. The idiots around will start making a fuss, blaming us for everything.”
It might sound like paranoia, but it was easy to imagine, so Adreas could only nod with a wry smile.
“Of course, I’ll be careful… But, as you said, it’s undoubtedly a problem we can’t ignore.”
“…Ishud. Don’t you have any solutions in mind for that?”
“Big boobs… What do you think I am? I’m not a god, a buddha, or an immortal.”
“A berserker wearing the skin of an unreasonable berserker?”
Considering that he was a berserker yet not acting like one, Michela’s words were not entirely wrong, and Ishud couldn’t immediately find a response.
“Tch… I don’t know if it’s realistic. Besides, Adreas, what you said is basically picking a fight with the royal family… well, including the nobles too… but you guys were just relatively competent people to begin with.”
Tracing back to the origin… it was a taboo statement.
Currently, Ishud and the others were on the territory of the Regula family.
Here, the culture was such that if you wanted to argue back, you had to overpower with strength!!! So no one contradicted… but excluding Gulf, everyone wore bitter, grim expressions.
“Ishud. I shouldn’t affirm what you’re saying… but let me dare to say I understand. However, nobles govern their lands, and the royal family governs the country. What do you think about this?”
“Well, the firstborns and such receive that kind of education from birth, right? If they are educated, they should be able to do it. It’s not like telling a warrior with no talent in magic to become a magic warrior or magic swordsman. Whether they can actually do it is another matter, but if commoners received education, they could handle such issues in their territories, figure out the usual administrative tasks, and come up with solutions to problems.”
Just like a life-and-death battle, there’s no absolute answer.
Considering there could be multiple correct answers, it’s not an easy job.
However… there is a general correct answer.
“Ha-ha-ha!!!! No, seriously, Ishud, you’re the best!!”
“Right, right. Well, of course, if I said that at the academy, it would definitely lead to an all-out war between the Regula family and others, so I won’t say it.”
Even though they didn’t think they would lose, if that happened, someone on the Regula family side would inevitably die.
As a fighter, no one might care about that, but at least Ishd wanted to avoid causing such a situation due to his own actions.
“It would be a great help if you did, Ishud.”
“I got it, President-senpai. And… as I mentioned earlier, we need to understand that being superior to commoners in terms of magic power or abilities is because we’ve mixed good blood with good blood and received a good education since childhood. That’s something to be proud of, but not to boast about.”
“…Ishud, don’t you have confidence in your own abilities?”
“I have confidence, Gulf. But… well, if I can have a real fight with Grandpa Roberto, I might be able to hold my head high.”
Upon hearing the name Roberto Grandpa, everyone except for two who didn’t know him suddenly felt a shiver run through their bodies.
“Is Grandpa Roberto your grandfather, Ishud?”
“Great-grandfather. I just call him Grandpa because it’s easier.”
“I see. By the way… from the way you talk, it sounds like even if you fought him, it wouldn’t be a fair fight…”
Adreas glanced at Gulf and the others.
Then, their classmates and seniors all nodded in unison.
“”!!!!???””
Even Dimna, who still had the exhibition match imprinted in his mind, couldn’t maintain his usually cool expression and broke into a smile that made Philip laugh.
“Well, back then, Ishud was fighting seriously. He used a real weapon with a blade instead of a wooden one, and he didn’t hold back on his skills or magic power.”
“And all I managed was to slightly cut him… and cause some minor internal bleeding, if that. That’s the extent of the damage I could inflict. Who knows how many more decades it’ll take.”
The thought of whether his great-grandfather would live for several more decades didn’t even cross their minds, as they were too stunned to think.
