I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game - Chapter 120

“see. hoot. You have nothing to worry about. hoot. Originally, I was destined to go through terrible women’s troubles, but I’ve changed after meeting people well.”
“Yeonan… What is this?”
At Hailey’s naive question, Shinsu the Owl smiled sinisterly.
“You don’t have to know. hoot. Do what you’re doing, work hard, boo. Now, take this.”
This time, Shin-soo gave Hailey a small bottle and gave advice while giggling.
“hoot. Face unknown fears, Owl. use this hoot. I will save you once hoot.”
“Use. What do you mean?”
“You just open the lid and drink it. hoot.”
‘What the hell is going on?’ Haley muttered, bowing her head to the owl god.
“You have a good personality for kids these days. hoot.”
Next it was Lua’s turn. Lua approached the owl god with a smile and held out her hand first.
“What shall we do, Owl?”
When the owl tilted its head, Lua replied.
“Shake hands!”
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a handshake with a bird without hands. hoot.”
While saying so, the Owl God spread his wings wide so that Lua could grab and shake them. He also seemed to have a lot of affection like most Shinsoo.
‘Those bright kids usually get good fortune. hoot.’

When he read the fate of the children the handsome man had brought with him, he was a little amazed. Nobility, royalty, or origins did not inspire him at all.
Anyway, until those children give birth to children, and those children give birth to children, and until those children die of old age, Shinsoo does not die.
A person’s status or status is something that is fleeting.
What surprised him was the other part.
‘Meeting someone changed my destiny. hoot.’
He did not know what his fate would be like before the change. We can only guess that it has undergone a very positive change.
There have been very few cases like this so far. It was a phenomenon that only appeared in those who stepped into the flow of fate so huge that they could not easily read it.
‘Baby. what is your fate hoot?’
For some reason, he felt that the brown-haired girl was quite lovely. It is like watching a baby owl born from an egg and starting to flap its wings.
Hoping that the child’s fate would be happy and beautiful, the owl god shook the fortune teller.
Eventually, when a stick with a fortune written on it fell, something like a memory flowed into the head of the Owl Goddess.
I saw a girl dying from being bitten by an insignificant monster.
I saw a girl who was defeated by a low-level demon and turned to stone to die.
I saw a girl dying sobbing in a trap from which she could never escape.
I saw a girl disappearing after being turned to ashes by the breath of a fallen dragon.
The figure of a girl whose soul was taken away by a ghost knight and tormented until the end of the world,
The image of being captured by demons and waiting for death on the execution table.
The scene where he collapses and dies while swinging his sword until his last breath runs out in a group of monsters.
After passing through countless deaths, despair, and fear, the Owl God could soon glimpse the end.
A girl who sits on the lap of a blond young man and acts like a child. A young man smiling and stroking the girl’s hair as if he couldn’t help it. The girl laughs and opens the door that leads somewhere.
The beautiful laughter of women could be heard from beyond the door. The girl jumped in place and shouted.
‘Mothers! little brothers! Let’s go out to play!’
Owl God shook his head as he felt his immersion breaking at the sound of the girl shouting.
‘What kind of dog is this, Owl? Could the word mother be used in the plural in human society, boo?’
Of course, nobles can have several wives, but I have never seen a case where their children call a wife other than their real mother their mother.
Eventually, the owl returned to the real world. He looked at Philip and Lua alternately, and soon fixed his gaze on Lua, and tears welled up. Looking at her face, it was as if the hopeless memories he had read from the divination were coming back to him.
“you… you will be very happy hoot. More than anyone else in the world, Oooh. uh… What’s wrong with this… .”
The owl god, who covered his face with his wings and giggled for a while, pulled out something from between the wings. It was a hand mirror smaller than Lua’s palm.
“This… take it… hoot. you will need this hoot.”
Lua looked at the face of the Owl Goddess with a tearful face.
“Mister Owl. why are you crying… ?”
“I have dry eye syndrome… … hoot. You can live without worrying about anything. hoot. you will surely be happy hoot. If it’s a world where you’re going to be unhappy, I think it’d be nice to just hit it and be ruined. hoot.”
‘What bullsh*t is that owl talking about?’
Philip looked at the owl and thought.
“Someday, when the time comes, it will help you. hoot. Next you, blonde hair, come over here, Owl.”
The owl, which swept Lua’s head a few times with its wings, called Philip as if calling a prisoner. In fact, Philip, who had no intention of doing fortune-telling, pointed at himself as if he was dumbfounded.
“You mean that?”
“okay. It’s a baby. you mean hoot.”
Philip wasn’t stupid, so he could figure out that the owl’s reaction was because he saw something in Lua’s divination. As he approached the owl with a laugh, the owl god shook the barrel containing the fortune-telling with emotion-filled footwork.
Soon the fortune-telling fell, and the owl who read the fortune-telling stared at Philip with his eyes wide open in amazement.
“… What, why?”
When Phillip asked cautiously, the owl only exclaimed in disbelief.
“and… hoot… Wow Mr… hoot… You are so amazing. hoot… .”
“No, don’t you think I should explain something?”
“… Your fate is too closely related to the heavenly spirit to be spoken of. hoot. I just show respect as a fellow male. hoot.”
The owl said that and held out a present to Philip. It was a handkerchief.
“What is this?”
“It is a handkerchief that does not need to be washed. hoot. You can wipe anything, and it will clean itself. hoot. It’s the best thing I’ve ever had, so put it to good use. hoot.”
“go… thank you.”
If that statement is true, it is a very good thing. Philip received the gift and withdrew, and the owl muttered as he watched the backs of him and the children walking away.
“… Can we do this, Owl?”
Then, a strangely beautiful silver-haired girl passed by the owl and grinned.
“okay. Good job. Miss you.”

“This is nonsense!”
Janis Murella was furious. The noblewoman and the man who were playing cards with her looked at her and giggled.
“Young lady. It’s a waste. But losing money is a taboo at a gambling house. If you lose everything, either change your chips politely or get up quietly.”
“This person is right. It’s basic manners. I’m still young, so maybe I don’t know.”
Johnny, who was listening to them, objected with tears in his eyes.
“Then how can you lose by one point in four games in a row? How unlikely is that?”
The aristocratic man with a languid impression replied giggling as if Johnny was cute.
“Your lady isn’t that lucky. Or are we cheating? isn’t that right? dealer girl. Have we ever done anything suspicious?”
The female casino worker in charge of the dealer looked at Janice in pity for a moment, then shook her head.
“no. I don’t know.”
“Oooh!”
I had a feeling that something was wrong, but there was no evidence. Having lost two hundred gold, Johnny bit his lip and got up to change chips.
“Change thickly and come. huh? Gambling is basically the one with the most money wins.”
The aristocratic couple saw off Johnny’s family with a chuckle, as if they didn’t know.
Johnny, who was walking with tears in his eyes, soon found Philip and Lua sitting at a bar sipping something. Camilla and Haley were playing darts. Haley teaching Camilla how to throw darts seemed quite friendly.
‘The Northern Margrave family has always been a strong ally of the royal family.’
Although Camilla is of royal blood, Hayley, the son of the Margrave of the North, was also a prince. Marquis Baroun was one of the few nobles granted the title of ‘Your Excellency’, and he was like a king in the North.
Johnny’s laughed out loud when he saw Lua talking about something to Philip.
‘cute.’
Then Philip, who found Johnny’s, called her.
“What are you doing there?”
“oh… suck… Instructor… .”
Tears welled up in Johnny’s eyes when he heard Philip’s voice. Grinning like a child who has been terrified, she told Philip what had happened.
“… You think you’ve been scammed? What about Professor Felicia?”
“I went to the bathroom with Cheryl… .”
“do not worry. If it’s really a scam, I’ll give you a hard time.”
Phillip smiled and stroked Johnny’s hair.
‘How dare you covet the money buried in the noses of children?’
Even among the players, there were rules. Not playing pranks on complete raw beginners, not moderately well-rounded beginners. It was because no one could enter this floor if they sucked raw money.
‘But how do I know this?’
It seemed to be Philip’s memory before he possessed it. Phillip went with Johnny to the table where she was playing cards.
“Oh, are you here, lady? But who is your older brother?”
The aristocratic man seemed to feel an unusual aura from Philip. Philip also smelled a familiar scent from him.
‘He’s a pro. Is it work?’
There was a smell of a pro rolling on this floor. Philip said, looking at him with sharp eyes.
“This kid’s older brother, and since he’s losing so much, I thought I’d take a look.”
“Isn’t that what you came for revenge?”
“Yes, what.”
“… He was very handsome.”
The man’s expression contorted terribly when the woman, who seemed to be the lover of the aristocratic man, made a bewitched expression on Philip’s face.
“… babe?”
“Oh sorry. But you are handsome.”
“Okay, if you’re not going to play cards, sit there and watch. Are you going to continue?”
“of course!”
Johnny’s shouted, and the man and woman exchanged glances.
And the card game began.
one plate.
two plates.
and three editions.
Game after game, Johnnys kept losing. Philip checked the dealer’s hand movements, the man’s and the woman’s hand movements without letting go of his tension. After a few more games and Johnny’s losing another hundred gold coins, Phillip was convinced.
‘… They don’t use any skills.’
The man, the woman, and even the dealer were playing the game with utmost honesty. Judging by their hand movements, they were obviously technicians, but they had a strong work ethic.
Why is Johnny’s losing? Just wasn’t so lucky.
In addition, the woman made a bet that went beyond common sense in order to intentionally lose to Johnny in the middle. However, Johnnys, whose mentality went out, did not notice it and repeated death every time the woman hung high.
In the end, Johnnys, who had been liquidated a total of 300 gold coins, stood up with a teary face.
“… miss. I’ll give you half back, so don’t gamble again.”
“that’s right. Lady, don’t do anything like this in the future.”
The heartbroken man handed her half of the chips he had taken from Johnny’s, and the woman nodded and did the same.
Phillip shook Johnny’s shoulder.
“Come on, say thank you.”
When even Philip, whom he believed in, said that, Janice lowered her head with tears in her eyes. Three hundred gold coins was a lot of money for her too. Because this semester’s allowance is over half.
From noble mtl dot com
“… thank you.”

Everyone was together at dinner. As promised, Viscount Hardin treated the people of the academy to the most expensive dinner.
Delicacies from all over the world filled the table, and drinks that Johnny’s, Hailey, and even Camilla had never seen before were served in luxurious glasses.
“… can i eat this? I’ve never seen anything like this in my life… .”
Chanya Uzechu whispered to Cheryl. She didn’t gamble, but was happy just hanging out with her new friend, Cheryl.
In addition, the students of the travel department were very kind despite their great status, so they did not discriminate or treat the newcomer Chanya awkwardly.
However, that did not mean that the discrimination and subtle contempt that had been experienced until now were not absent. Chanya was still on the defensive.
Philip looked at Chanya and smiled.
“It doesn’t matter if you eat it all by yourself. If it’s a hat, just ask for more. You will be eating this often from now on, so get used to it today.”
At that moment, Chanya felt the first emotion she felt in her life.
love? romance? It wasn’t like that.
‘too… so cool… .’
The emotion burning her heart was loyalty.
On this vast continent, only the Oswalds had been astonishingly kind to her. Just as wild wolves follow humans who give them smoked meat, she recognized Philip as the perfect superior.
‘From this moment on, the Oswald family and I are one body, and I will consider the enemies of the Oswald family as my enemies. Professors and instructors are probably such good people… !’
Because of this determination of a girl who is better than a native speaker when it comes to fighting in a common language, the children who gossip about the Oswald family among the academy students disappear at some point.
