I Will Smash Everything With My Passive Skills - Chapter 76



076. Sword Master of the Academy (1)

“There was a message from Veris. They need someone to stand against them who will come out of the darkness.”

“So what?”

“There was no reason to refuse. Demon Cult, they are uncomfortable even from the point of view of the Empire.”

The truth about the commotion that happened a few days ago. Maria, who explained it, seemed in a good mood.

According to her requested support, Prince Frederick dispatched the Imperial Guard Knights under his command to the academy, and the matter was settled neatly.

In the process, the Guard Knights weren’t very helpful, but Veris wanted something else.

A thing that draws attention.

To clearly recognize that the Devil’s Cult is no longer a fantasy organization, but a materialized threat.

“It’s a pity that I couldn’t step out myself, but it was cool.”

Evangeline recalled her memories.

In response to her reaction, Maria and the other girls just stared at her without saying a word.

“…… Come to think of it, why isn’t the Grand Duke passing away?”

“Going back?”

“You’re from the kingdom of Gaul anyway. He spread false rumors that he was looking for a husband for her. Isn’t it right that you die after you’ve subdued the group of Demonic Cults hiding in the academy, which is your original purpose?”

Evangeline shut her mouth at Cecilia’s well-reasoned voice.

She then shrugged her shoulders, and replied with Evangeline’s unique relaxed attitude.

“I decided to stay here.”

“Eh?”

“I can feel it. The feeling that if I am here, better things happen.”

“… ….”

Everyone shut up at the cheerful answer.

She had no reason to pressure her to return to her grand duchy in the first place.

“And, just yesterday, I got an interesting offer.”

“A suggestion?”

“Yes. Did you ask me to become a visiting professor at the academy?”

“Invited Professor… ….”

Most of the academy’s faculty members have brilliant careers.

Even so, as the grand duke of Gaul and one of the strongest people on the continent, she is a strong person, needless to say compared to other professors.

At that point, she immediately remembered who had given her her offer.

To survive……. No, to be precise, a man struggling to survive in the academy’s political arena.

Isn’t that the dean?

“So I decided to do it.”

“Really?”

Everyone looked at her in amazement at her stately declaration of her grand duke.

A grand duke is a title similar to that of a king who rules a huge country.

To become a professor at the academy while neglecting that great position?

Isn’t it an act that is too insignificant even if you don’t have iron?

“It’s troublesome to explain why. Just think it’s because of my intuition.”

“…… !”

Evangeline’s first move. When the word feeling or intuition came up again, everyone had no choice but to shut up.

“By the way, Veris-sama isn’t coming.”

After Evangeline’s bombshell declaration, it was Cecilia who spoke first in a moment of silence.

She looked out of her window.

It’s Berris who went out after lunch, but it seemed like it was taking longer than expected.

Dalgrak.

With that thought in mind, Cecilia raised her teacup.

As she started talking, she must have finished her tea before she knew it, and her teacup was empty.

“Yunapint, could you give me more tea?”

“…… Ugh.”

A girl standing in the corner of the table flinched at Cecilia’s innocent question.

Priest Yunapint.

She was wearing a maid’s uniform, which Arwen wears when she is in her mansion.

When they protested the existence of a girl named Seonguk Priest who colluded with the Demonic Cult, the answer returned from the Seonguk was simple.

‘Unapint Lunaciel has already been excommunicated from the Holy Kingdom, and do not pursue her crimes in the Holy Kingdom.’

…… It is unknown whether it was her tail cutting, or whether there was a decision made by the leaders of the Seongguk who really noticed her relationship with the demon cult.

So this girl who joined the Devil Cult was detained at the academy.

Although it was unique that the location was Veris’ mansion, not a dungeon.

“Verys is also a very caring person. If she were me, she would have killed her on the spot.”

Evangeline, who was staring at Yuna Pint with a displeased look, said.

She hates and hates the devil cult.

There was no way that Yunafint, who had formed a collusion with the Devil Church, would look pretty to Evangeline.

“Beris-sama said that since they won’t open their mouths, they should be forced to open.”

It was Arwen who was entrusted with the control of Yunapint.

She is the first junior to be born.

Arwen was uncomfortable with the fact that her origins were from the Demon Church, but Veris simply sealed Yunapint’s mana.

Yunafint literally became an ordinary person who could not use mana.

It was also a desperate technique that others could not even understand the principle of.

“I think I know what Berris is thinking to some extent.”

“…… What do you think?”

As her out of the blue Maria floated her rhyme, all her eyes turned to her.

It was a bonus that she felt strangely uncomfortable with Berris because she spoke in a friendly way.

“Berrys…… Do you think the Devil Cult is a threat we are facing right now?”

“You mean that?”

“Yuna Pint, didn’t you say that her group of devils called her an apostle after leaving her?”

“…… !”

“Apostle is definitely not a title given to ordinary people. The mere fact that he is alive will make the demon cult’s masters flock to this academy.”

Everyone nodded at Maria’s explanation.

Berry’s never thought she would have thought that in that short amount of time.

It was something no one here could have thought of.

“…… So, Veris-sama suggested that some of the knights be stationed at the academy?”

Beatrice, who had been silent by herself, let out such a self-talk.

After the situation was sorted out, Veris expressed her opinion that it would be nice if the Knights were stationed at the academy.

Since Prince Frederick held the command of the knights, numerous approval procedures were required, but thanks to the situation not going badly, it was approved.

“What a wonderful person.”

That’s Beatrice’s voice. Everyone in the seat nodded.

She is Veris, who usually doesn’t seem to think much of it.

But when things like this happen, they act with quick and clear answers, so that must be just an illusion.

Yuna Pint headed to the kitchen to make tea and said something he couldn’t hear.

* * *

“Wow, it’s Berris!”

“This is my first time seeing it up close!”

“I went into the faculty building. Are you going to see the dean?”

The victory in the midterm evaluation, and the complete subjugation of the Demonic Cult that appeared right after.

The name of Veris was hitting the upper limit every day.

Thanks to the exposure of two incidents in succession, her power went viral.

“Did you split the sky during the midterm evaluation?”

“That’s only part of it. I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard that Gunther von Haruen also learns swordsmanship from him.”

“No way!”

“The information is sparse. Have you been deceived?”

Students, and furthermore, people living in Academy City all heard the rumors.

That’s why everyone who saw Veris spoke in unison.

“Sword Master!”

“Yes, he is the academy’s sword master!”

“What kind of bastard is the one who put such a Berry-sama in Class B?”

“Dean! Dean, please explain!”

“…… Ok!”

This is the top floor of the faculty building.

It’s a place where you shouldn’t hear the sound of the ground….

Thanks to the noise flying outside the window, the dean let out a heavy sob.

When I turned the chair, there was the rumored protagonist.

“Why do you look so upset?”

“This…… !”

The dean glared at Veris sitting in front of him with fiery eyes.

The anger did not last long.

If you think about it calmly, the person who sees the virtues of Veris very well is the dean.

The dean was not as stupid as the goose that lays golden eggs in a moment of rage.

“…… Looking at it like that, you have the face of a proud academy warrior!”

The dean, who pushed her swear words into the Danjeon, gave Veris a compliment with an awkward smile.

Naturally, Veris burst into laughter at the dean’s reaction.

“Okay, let’s see the sword.”

“Damn it. Hey, isn’t your temper too impatient?”

“It’s not like you didn’t prepare, right?”

“I did it, I did it!”

The dean knew perfectly well that Verice’s purpose in coming here was not to comfort her.

The dean, who took out a large black oak box from under the table in the office, said with a proud face.

“It wasn’t expensive. But I bet you, I don’t think there are many people who can salvage something like this even if I search the whole continent.”

“… ….”

It was the attitude of the dean with a seriously long introduction.

Obviously, the point of the secret pact between Veris and the dean was to ask for a sword whose value was known.

Looks like something is poking me.

“I see now that people have no trust.”

Verys’s emotionless voice, the dean’s face contorted in an instant.

With a troubled smile on her face, the dean insinuatedly held out the box to Berrys.

“Touch the sword once.”

Knock!

After saying that, the dean lifted the lid of the box, and the shape of the sword he could see gave Berris quite a surprising feeling.

“…… Where did you get this from?”

The sword that appeared when the lid was opened was placed on luxurious silk at a glance.

First of all, it was a unique sword from its appearance.

The fact that the pommel and the scabbard are black is unique.

“I heard someone I know got it from the ruins.”

“Ruins?”

“Yes. It was said to be a relic from the Age of Sorcery, which was testing the ancient magic of dimension gates. How much money does it cost to buy something? Of course it doesn’t matter. However, at first glance, it is not an ordinary item.”

At the dean’s words, Veris nodded her head.

It was not an ordinary item.

The problem was that I wasn’t too ordinary to exist in this world.

A sword in the style of East Asia on Earth.

It was too early to make a hasty decision because it was in the past without extensive knowledge about swords, but Veris saw it that way.

“Do you like it? Again, they said that the value of the name is not directly related to the value of the sword.”

Veris got up from her seat and drew her sword.

Suck.

The sword that was pulled out without resistance boasted a great skill to be called an object from an ancient ruin with hardly any records left.

What’s more, when I pulled it out of the scabbard, I didn’t even hear the sound of metal scratching my ears.

── Jing.

When I tried to inject the mana, a sound distinctly different from that of the steel sword for payment echoed inside the dean’s office.

Unlike cheap swords that resist mana, the sword absorbed a significant amount of Veris’ mana.

“I like it.”

I said it indifferently, but it made me feel very good.

Actually, the iron sword for the payment is so crude that I was looking for a sword that could be used roughly, but to find such an unknown famous sword.

‘It doesn’t look like something from this world.’

I had never injected mana into a modern object, so it was difficult to judge.

What is certain is that the sword is unlikely to break or become powdered during battle.
