37 – {First Lesson}

{First Lesson}

“I am in a position where I swore to protect her, Princess Yuria, even at the cost of my life, so remember her clearly. I will not forgive her for all her disrespect towards her.”

At Theodore’s declaration, Yuria got the feeling that he didn’t just say it out of obligation.

The emotion in his voice was genuine, not acting.

Yuria, who met Theodore’s gaze, looked at him with a slight surprise.

‘He grumbled that he started giving me affection… Could it be that effect?’

I felt that way from inside Yuria.

“Jade-senpai lost so miserably.”

“It might be the Archmage…”

“I can’t even guarantee swordsmanship, taijutsu, or magic.”

“Isn’t spiritism also excellent?”

Although he hadn’t shown his spirit magic or some abilities yet, he was talking about the idea that if he showed fearsome skills in swordsmanship, martial arts, and magic, he would be excellent in other abilities as well, as he showed confidence in all abilities except divine power.

“It’s almost time for class.”

Theodore said.

“Those who want to challenge me always tell me. I’ll make time to deal with them when it’s not class time.”

Theodore looked at YuRia again while saying that.

Upon receiving his gaze, Yuria felt ashamed, as if she had received a public confession for some reason.

‘Ah! Why, why are you shaking so much?’

Is it because I’ve been doing better than I thought for the past few days?

Feeling that his words were sincere, I felt his heart tremble as his words sounded like confessions.

“Princess Yuria, shall we go then?”

Seeing Theodore smiling and holding out his hand, Yuria sighed and said,

“Haa~ Thanks to you, I’m getting attention.”

“Well, isn’t that bad? You wanted attention anyway, didn’t you?”

“Exactly, I didn’t want to gossip like this, I wanted to prove it with my swordsmanship skills.”

At YuRia’s words, Theodore nodded his head with an understanding gaze.

“Yes, I know that. That’s why today’s class will be meaningful, right?”

It would not be difficult for Yuria Arsane to achieve her desired goal first.

“Unlike J-Ha Academy, here you have to always accept the challenge and maintain your position as the top and bottom, isn’t it that simple?”

“I see.”

Yuria also nodded at Theodore’s words.

It was really that simple.

However, even that simplicity meant only a beginning and an opportunity.

‘And I will continue to be challenged.’

If Yuria became the head of the 2nd year swordsmanship department, she would face countless challenges to take her place.

And it was clear that not only the 2nd year swordsmanship department, but also the seniors of the 3rd and 4th years would take up the challenge, saying, “Let’s cover the ranks.”

‘It won’t be limited to the swordsmanship department.’

Not only the Faculty of Swordsmanship, but also various martial arts and other weapon skills, as well as many cases where wizards or spiritists directly challenged them.

It was Yuria’s goal to overcome all the challengers.

‘It’s not just the swordsmanship department. I won’t lose against all faculties.’

I admit that Theodore Skylord is an unbeatable opponent.

But her primary goal is to become strong enough to give him a blow, and she has also defined him as a great, mountain-high wall that must be overcome someday.

No matter how high and steep the wall is, never give up on your dream.

And today was the time of its beginning.

The first class of the 2nd year of the Faculty of Swordsmanship was held in the classroom.

Large enough for hundreds of people to enter, the lecture hall was a cascading structure that rose one floor after another, just like a theater. In addition, a podium was prepared in front, and the professor stood there to give a lecture.

Entering her classroom, YuRia felt her attention focused on Theodore and herself.

‘As expected, this kind of gaze.’

Among those who came to the lecture room, there were those who had seen Theodore’s sparring earlier. While Theodore and Yuria had a brief conversation, they had entered the classroom first.

‘Unfamiliarity, fear, desire and grasping reality.’

Yuria roughly guessed what they were feeling and thinking.

Even in the Arkhan Empire, she did not dislike having titles such as the most beautiful woman of the Arkhan Empire attached to her, but she wanted to become famous for the power of swordsmanship she had earned through hard work, so she was here in the Britannia Empire. Came to the Minst Academy of

Since the power of the Duke of Arsene was out of reach, even if she had come here alone, apart from Theodore, she would have fought to overcome everything she had.

‘In their eyes, I’m just Prince Theodore’s trophy.’

Theodore is jealous, afraid, and wary of Skylord.

However, many of them gave up and broke their hearts, trembling at the overwhelming ability that Theodore had shown them, as if they were standing on top of the real sky.

Yuria was unique, and even after looking at Theodore’s age, it would be hard to find anyone who had the idea of surpassing someone with such terrifying talent, even if he searched the entire world.

Rather, there might be comments to YuRia that she believes in her pretty face and doesn’t know how to figure out the subject, or that she believes that the man is her fiancé and messes with it.

But Yuria was always sincere. She

She sincerely wanted to give Theodore Skylord a blow, and wanted to prioritize the talent he recognized.

And she wanted to beat him in swordsmanship one day.

Reflecting on her passion as a swordsman like that, Yuria resolved to change her gaze toward herself in today’s class.

“You look determined.”

Perhaps he noticed her determination, Theodore told her.

“Yes.”

She nodded. Yuria cautiously sat down in the seat next to Theodore.

I was concerned that it was a skirt, not pants, but that was a problem that I could change into on the way.

As she thought so, Yuria felt that her school uniform rules were not to her liking again.

“Hey, shall we go closer?”

“Didn’t you hear that rudeness is not forgiven?”

“Ugh, he’s sure to protect his woman.”

“Well, if I were a woman like that, I would protect her for the rest of my life. If someone else took her away, I think she would rather die.”

Yuria could hear them.

None of them cared how good she was at her swordsmanship department.

Everybody was defining limits only by looking at their own beauty and body.

Yuria thought that she didn’t hate her beauty per se, but at least she didn’t like the feeling that her efforts were being disparaged because she was buried in it.

Her effort not going unnoticed meant that she was treated the same as those who didn’t.

She worked hard with people who made no effort. It sounds like she is denying her own efforts that she is treated similarly. Bitten softly

Theodore’s hand was then placed on top of hers.

“Te, Prince Theodore?”

“Don’t worry too much about it. You’re here today because you hate it, right? You just have to prove that you’ve worked hard. You deserve it.”

At Theodore’s words, Yuria was unfamiliar with how he kindly comforted her.

“As expected, that way of speaking seems unfamiliar.”

“I think so too.”

Theodore also agreed with Yuria’s words.

“Prince Theodore seemed more arrogant. For example, “You are qualified to look up at the sky from under the sky, so why don’t you make the creepers on the ground realize the subject?”

“That’s not it.”

Theodore denied what Yuria said.

Yuria was slightly surprised when he denied her words with a firm attitude.

“Yes?”

“If it were me now, I would have said something like this. You are a woman who stands above the sky and I have recognized you, so trust my eyes rather than yourself.”

At Theodore’s words, Yuria looked at him for a while and smiled slightly.

“What is that? You’re still very arrogant.”

“I’m telling the truth. You broke my expectations, and you’re a better woman than I thought. I told you to trust my eyes, but you broke my eyes and expectations, so it might sound unconvincing.”

Laughing at Theodore’s words, Yuria belatedly remembered that he was still placing her hand on top of hers.

When she realized it, she felt a surge of shame in her.

‘Such skinship… You’re doing it so naturally!’

People were already gathering in the lecture hall.

As people flocked to Yuria, she was worried about what would happen to her if someone saw her hand hidden behind her desk. But since she was hidden behind a desk, it was a meaningless worry.

She was just ashamed of her skinship now.

It’s too embarrassing. Perhaps that was all.

‘What am I thinking of Prince Theodore?’
