29 – Announcement of final grades (1)

“What do you think?”

Herion was looking at the screen of the 17th group with a serious expression.

To be precise, Ceylon’s movement, which Sinia calls ‘our number 348’.

“yes? ah-“

Herion looked back and forth between Ceylon and Cynia with a face that seemed to have finally regained his senses, then returned with a serious face and said.

“What the hell is this?”

“What do you think it is?”

Cynia raised her face to him and asked.

Pinkish light red bangs that came down long enough to cover the eyes.

In the meantime, the soft eyes that were revealed stared at Herion.

“This is- no matter how you look at it, isn’t it an assassin’s move?”

“And what?”

Even though Herion asked with a serious face as if reprimanding her, Cynia remained calm.

She asked again with her benevolent appearance.

Then, Herion’s momentum is broken. He rubbed his forehead and spoke.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s an assassin’s move- again, it’s not an assassination technique.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t see a consistent form and expression. I guess it’s like taking a picture with your talent. In terms of swordsmanship, it’s like wielding a sword ignorantly with force.”

“to sum it up?”

“… ”

An attitude as if eliciting an answer from the cadet.

Herion was displeased, but answered innocently.

“I see the assassin’s movements. You can also see the skill of an assassin. However, it doesn’t seem like they are officially dealing with assassination.”

“As expected, Instructor Herion. You can see it at a glance.”

“Are you Harasin?”

A group of assassins whose existence has been handed down since ancient times, but whose exact identity is still unknown to the public.

source of assassination.

Herion said it very carefully, as if he were uttering a word he shouldn’t have dared to mention.

Cynia shook her head.

“It is not Harassin. Did you see Herion?”

“That is what I see. How do you bet? Maybe he’s deliberately hiding his assassination skills-“

Herion, who had stopped speaking midway, returned the record and checked Ceylon’s movements several times.

Then, he let out a saliva filled with complex feelings.

“yes. As you said, Harasin certainly isn’t.”

“Oh, why did you think that?”

“If Harasin had officially given him the art of assassination… There can be no movement like this.”

Swordsmanship and assassination both belong to the realm of taijutsu. Taijutsu is a technique that is learned with the body as well as the head. Even if the skill is limited by will, the habits and memories left in the body will inevitably come out naturally.

“but… ”

Then, the worst case came to Herion’s head.

“but?”

“If, in a state where even all the habits and memories left in such a body can be handled freely, another assassin is hiding his identity… ?”

Herion suggested the worst possibility with a rather serious attitude.

“Pu-huh… !”

“… It sucks.”

However, that serious attitude cannot be maintained even for a moment.

Cynia burst into laughter, and Herion turned his head shyly.

“Yes, I know. That would be impossible.”

“No, no. Instructor Herion. Don’t be too shy. It’s not likely to be enough, but it’s not like there’s no possibility at all. Well, by the way, if Harassin’s assassin is capable of such nonsense-“

Cynia shrugged.

“Why are you playing house with chicks like that on the academy entrance exam?”

“Infiltrating the academy… ?”

“hahahahaha, Instructor Herion. that’s your problem Is your imagination too rigid? Would Harassin’s assassin at that level pretend to be a freshman just to break into the academy? like this-“

Sinia pretended to open her skull from both sides.

“As an academy instructor, even if I take off my skin and suddenly pop out, I will wear a hat.”

“It is terrible. Let’s talk about this for now.”

“is it so. Let’s stop talking about such a ridiculous assassin-“

Cynia stared at Ceylon on the screen.

“Again, back to our number 348.”

“ha… ”

Only then did Herion sigh, realizing what complicated situation he was caught up in.

“That’s why you covered up the record for the 2nd test, and put Ceylon and Ms. Bower in the same group for the 3rd test.”

“for a moment!”

Sinia hurriedly raised her hand and interrupted Hayon.

“What is it?”

“Putting our No. 348 and the Bauer family girl in the same place was meant to inspire No. 348! however!”

“… however?”

“Ha ha ha! Didn’t you know that you would commit so hotly?”

Sinia grabbed her stomach and fell asleep.

Herion looked at her coldly.

From noble mtl dot com

“No, Herion! Hear me out! I must have said this when covering the case in the second test? If our 348th assassin’s talent is revealed in the academy test, we may end up in an annoying situation, so take care of yourself.”

“Are you serious about that? Am I misunderstanding what you mean?”

“So I’m embarrassed too!? No, why did our number 348 suddenly talk like that!? I’ve been thinking hard, what. I don’t understand that behavior at all.”

Herion also shook his head as he recalled the rumors about Ceylon.

“According to Instructor Sinia’s words, Ceylon recorded a tremendous score, surpassing Drin and Kasha in the 2nd test. However, at the recommendation of the officer in charge, I gave up the grade. That alone would be dissatisfying enough—“

“Yes. It wasn’t us grumpy aristocratic chicks who would sit still.”

“It has gone from being the most notable participant in a good sense to being the most notable participant in a bad sense. At that age, it’s a time when you’re conscious of the eyes of others and thirsty for recognition. Furthermore, the academy entrance exam, which will be very important for Ceylon participants, who are commoners. Didn’t you expect that there would be such a backlash?”

Herion looked at Sinia with a cold expression.

if you do then

It sounded like a cold voice.

Sinia scratched her cheek and averted her gaze.

“No, of course I expected it. By the way, I didn’t think the number 348 would be the kind of person who would dwell on such a thing~ hahahaha, is this because I lacked the ability to empathize too much?”

“You know that. Even in a situation like that, you’re probably the only one who can shamelessly go around on a steel plate.”

So, although Herion slightly misinterpreted the character of Ceylon, he came to fully understand him at any rate.

understand his behavioral psychology.

understand his deviation.

understand his presence.

The exceptional existence of Ceylon was reborn as a full-fledged cadet within Instructor Herion.

That, too, keeps getting interested and nerve-wracking.

Sinia, who was staring at Herion, got lucky with the word ‘so’.

“Herion?”

“what. An ominous feeling.”

“Will you take responsibility and take care of our number 348?”

“… ”

chuck.

Herion lowered his head and covered his face with his palm.

“Is that it? The penalty for losing the bet?”

“hahahaha~ Penalties~ If you say that, it seems like our number 348 has become a burden that is difficult to deal with~”

“Then, wouldn’t it be better if you take responsibility for the contestant, Ceylon? It’s not going to be handed over to me.”

“No, Herion. Think about it.”

ruler!

Sinia bent down and raised her index finger as if explaining a child.

“If you’re another instructor, imagine me stepping out to vouch for the identity of #348. What do you think?”

“You might think that Cynia Iron is plotting something again. Ceylon will look more suspicious for nothing.”

“Look! Look! It’s kind of sad to say this out of my own mouth, but my reputation in the academy isn’t that great? Are you really going to die of shame?”

“unfair…?”

“Whatever. On the contrary, Herion! Everyone in the academy dies when you say something! Even if you suddenly squeeze a female instructor’s butt, the female instructor will rather wink!?”

“Could you do that crazy thing in front of my fiancée?”

“Uh~~ Anyway~~~”

Sinia whimpered and turned around.

“If you vouch for our number 348, who would dare to put a toe on it?”

“… ”

It was clear.

If Herion guarantees the identity of number 348, and adds Cynia’s opinion.

No one within the academy could dispute the existence of Number 348.

Except for the rector.

however-

Herion lifted his face from his palms and looked at her with a weary look.

“Are you sure?”

“yes?”

“It’s about getting someone with the talent of an assassin into the academy. Are you sure?”

“Huh… So what to do? Should I get kicked out of the academy? Then, where will our number 348 go after being kicked out of the academy?”

It’s obvious.

Since he has that level of talent, he will soon catch Harasin’s eyes.

If you do that, you will be taken in by Harasin and later reborn as an unbearable monster.

then-

“… ”

“Uh uh uh~ Herion~ Did you have a bad idea just now!?”

hot.

Herion shook his head.

What am I thinking about a kid like that right now?

Herion said with a face mixed with embarrassment and fatigue.

“Since you have that level of talent, of course Harashin will be interested in you.”

“So shouldn’t we keep them by their side as adults and protect them?”

“Just because he’s under the protection of the academy, Harasin won’t give up.”

Having said that, Herion widened his eyes.

As if you realized something.

“You can’t… ”

“yes?”

“Are you trying to lure Harasin into the presence of Ceylon?”

Harion knew.

Sinia, for some reason, has been tracking Harasin for a long time.

“…”

Sinia responded to Herion’s sharp point without being taken aback.

“Ah, ah, ah, no~ I didn’t think so~… ”

It was always Sinia’s wish. She was so embarrassed that it was obvious.

Cynia unnaturally averted her gaze and hid her shaking eyes with her bangs that reached below her eyes.
