Chapter 68: Special Treatment is Not an Option
“Then, will he be taken in by your parents’ home after graduation?”
“…………Well, I’m not sure.”
Ishud, with a troubled expression, swirled the wine in his glass.
“…Or rather, it’s unusual, I had always assumed that’s what he would do.”
“You just said it, didn’t you? While I may teach him, I respect his will. Besides, if he comes to us as a knight… I can’t just favor him alone.”
There are many monsters in the Regula family.
And even the people who serve the Regula family are mostly monsters, so when a newcomer joins… they gradually become monsters too.
However, not everyone can become a monster, and it’s not uncommon for them to be killed by monsters during the process.
Ishud utilizes his knowledge from his past life, secretly working behind the scenes… Knights and warriors who have achieved results can continue to survive… Instead of just earning and saving, he fully utilizes what he earns. However, people still… die when their time comes.
“Even if you graduate and enter a combat profession, there’s always a possibility of dying. But… if you come to us, that possibility is reasonably high.”
“If you, Ishud, continue to train him until graduation, wouldn’t the likelihood of dying be lower?”
“I… when I was fighting there, I almost died. Even after changing jobs to a third-class.”
“!! I’ve only heard stories, but… it’s truly a terrifying place, isn’t it?”
“The most troublesome thing is that as soon as one battle ends, another one starts almost immediately, so there’s really no time to rest… Well, sometimes if monsters start fighting each other and we’re lucky enough to survive the crisis, that can happen.”
While Ishud never abandons his style of fighting with a mindset to die in any situation, after becoming reasonably strong, he started forming teams with others to head into battle.
Or rather, it’s obvious, but entering the forests around the Regula family’s territory solo is basically suicidal.
Therefore, there were times when prioritizing the protection of comrades fighting together was more important than persisting with a fighting style ready to die.
Those who decided to fight alongside Regula didn’t wish for that?
They resolved to fight alongside Regula?
For Ishud, it’s a matter of ignoring the suggestion to “focus silently on recovery.”
Indeed, Ishud had been influenced by the Regula family, but… still, he was not just a youth, but a reincarnator with a soul from another world.
It’s not about pride or noble sentiments.
But… he wouldn’t let anyone die who fought alongside him.
No matter what, that feeling wouldn’t be discarded.
It could be said that Ishud’s current strength is because he didn’t discard it.
“I’ve seen commoners choose the path of fighting until they take up a teaching position, but Gulf will undoubtedly stand out among them. So, wouldn’t anyone in your unit oppose joining and fighting?”
“…Well, in our house, we don’t shed blood inside due to various jealousies and whatnot…ugh… It’s really damn complicated.”
“It might be strange for me to say this to you, who already seem mature in some aspects, but feel free to worry as much as you want while you’re at school. They say that’s what student life is all about.”
“Yeah… maybe you’re right.”
If he hadn’t come to the academy, maybe he wouldn’t have had to worry.
However, if he hadn’t come to Flaveld Academy… he wouldn’t have met Gulf.
(Thinking that such a talent might have just been bullied or even committed suicide, maybe I can say there was a reason for me to come to this school.)
He let out a small smile and raised his wine glass again.
“If all you can do is teach, how about you guide him to your parents’ home during summer vacation?”
“…Like a workplace visit or internship, huh?”
“That’s the idea.”
Thinking it wasn’t a bad idea, Ishudo retrieved a bottle of wine from the subspace.
“Next, let’s drink this one.”
“Two bottles of wine for the two of us?”
“Tomorrow is a holiday anyway. It should be fine even if we have a bit of a hangover.”
A wine bottle that was clearly high-end at a glance.
One might question why a student like Ishudo would have something like this, but Byron, feeling unusually good today, didn’t say anything and just emptied the wine bottle he had prepared.
“Um, excuse me, may I ask you something?”
“Hm?”
After the fierce battle festival, everyone’s injuries had completely healed, and after eating and drinking to their heart’s content, their flesh and blood had returned to normal, so they were back to their usual activities the next day.
And as Ishud and the others continued to act together as usual, three young ladies also arrived.
“If you’re free, would you like to join us for a tea party or something?”
(…Ah, I see, I understand.)
The gaze of the young ladies who approached them wasn’t on Ishud or Phillip… but mainly on Gulf.
Of course, Gulf, who was too oblivious to such matters, didn’t understand the situation at all.
“Sorry. Our schedule isn’t fixed yet. But I’ll remember your faces. I’ll talk to you later when things are settled.”
“O-Okay, understood.”
I will remember your faces…It was a little scary to hear that from Ishud’s atmosphere and face, but the young ladies felt relieved and left the place, thinking that they hadn’t been turned down randomly.
“…What was that all about?”
“What do you mean, Gulf? It was an invitation to a tea party, especially… targeting you.”
“?????? Phillip, what do you mean by that??”
Gulf still didn’t understand at all.
While Ishud and Phillip had somewhat anticipated this reaction, it was even more predictable than they had expected, causing them to sigh.
Ad
“Those young ladies approached mainly to establish a connection with you.”
“…Sorry, Ishud. I still don’t get it.”
“”……””
Once again, the two found themselves wanting to sigh.
But from Gulf’s perspective, it wasn’t entirely incomprehensible.
Gulf enrolled in Flaveld Academy to become a knight in the future. Matters of romance… hardly crossed his mind, and he never expected a future filled with giggles and laughter anyway.
“Hey, Gulf.”
Phillip, who was somewhat accustomed to such matters and had knowledge about them, began explaining earnestly.
Gulf listened attentively to the explanation, but in the end, he couldn’t grasp it a hundred percent.
