Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game - Chapter 90



90 – Appointment to a professorship (8)

“John… !”

Lana Sartian tried to call out to John with her regret in her voice, but the sound of her wooden sword clashing without hesitation on her sparring room already made it known that she could not do anything about it.

‘Why on earth…? Are you going that far? ‘

At first, it was great to see John trying to change himself. A mother’s heart is happy to see the progress of her child, who is no different from her son. It was just like that.

However, I was appalled by his talent for teaching one thing and earning ten, or even dozens, and chose to go to the Imperial Knight Academy to experience a wider world.

Even though he had to meet Freibach’s b*tches, he will be able to fully blossom his talent if he protects him. As he held John’s hand, which he felt was so big, he vowed to live for this child.

‘But because of me… Because of me, John… !’

-Taaa!! Tadadadadadak—!!!

The wooden swords of the professors surrounding John were constantly striking at him.

As they have a lot of practical experience, they are not hasty in going in first.

But he did not know that the longer the situation continued, the more disadvantaged he would be.

-Peoeoogok!!!

“Wow!!”

“Just one person!!”

“Professor Harmion!”

“Don’t get sucked in… Ugh!!”

“Keep calm! There is only one enemy! Even if you use your limbs for defense, it’s not enough! First, 4 people attack, and the remaining 4 people protect!”

Johan, who has knocked down one more professor in the blink of an eye, quickly kicks the ground again and rushes into the group of professors.

-Taaagh!!!

“Ugh! Wow, what kind of man’s power didn’t even use mana… !”

“Hold it like that!!”

“Why am I being dragged around… Argh!!”

As John’s wooden sword scatters again as quickly as light, another professor falls.

But this time, even John could not be safe.

-G profit!

The clothes on John’s chest are torn by the tip of a wooden sword in good condition.

As a result of such a light battle, Johan’s chest muscles were gently exposed, and Freibach’s side now had seven professors left.

“Oh my. I’m sorry, Professor Ivorys. The sparring was a bit intense and my clothes got torn. I can’t help it. Because it’s sparring. Yes?”

The blue-haired professor pointed his wooden sword at Johan again while smiling sinisterly.

‘Professor Terceillaise, that f*cking b*tch…’ !’

Lana gritted her teeth at Jane Terceyez, a senior professor at the highest level of Expert, called the ‘Knight of the Wind’ and belonging to one of Freibach’s vassal families.

Among the Freibach b*tches who have bad male mannerisms, she is the one who is rumored to treat men the most viciously. If it weren’t for the fact that he was such a skilled knight that he covered up several negative rumors with money, it wouldn’t be surprising if he went to jail a long time ago.

The fact that such a woman cut off John’s clothes clearly means that she is here to enjoy her sadistic taste.

“Of course, Professor. “If you spar, won’t your clothes and skin be torn?”

“hehehehe… This is truly a knightly statement. If I had known this would happen, I should have been in charge of the first-year class. “If I had done that, I would have been able to make Professor Ivorys a little more cute.”

“It’s a bit odd because I think you’re a bit old to do something like that. If you want to attract a young man, do you at least have to be pretty? “You really have no conscience.”

“…Everyone back to their positions! Let’s speed up even more from now on!!”

When talking about her age, her body twitched slightly, and when talking about her appearance, Lana’s mood improved a little, and her fists began to sweat a little more.

‘John, cheer up… please… !’

Lana Sartien, who thought that if it had not been for her, the bad relationship with Freibach would not have affected Johann, secretly cheered for Johann.

Because he stepped forward as a knight. Because he raised his sword directly at his many enemies to protect his own honor.

She prayed for John and watched him swing his wooden sword until the end.

Even though I can’t bear the guilt, I want to see John stand up as a noble knight.

How many times did I secretly pray to the goddess that John would win?

-Sharp!!

“Whoa, whoa…” This monster… !!”

“Ha, ha, ha… “

“…!!”

Around the dance floor, professors who have already collapsed and clutched their stomachs are groaning, and Jane Terceillais, her forehead covered in sweat, grits her teeth and curses at John.

However, John’s condition in dealing with this was not easy.

From Noble mtl dot com

The skin visible from the clothes that were torn here and there, and even the clothes that were clearly soaked with sweat as a result of vigorous movement.

His breathing was also irregular and rough, unlike the first time.

However, John’s eyes were just as burning as before, or rather, they were burning even more fiercely.

“Ha, ha… Are you alone now? “Even with 9 people, you couldn’t do anything to one man. It really doesn’t make sense to be a professor.”

“Nonsense! Kill 9 knights with just your body and no mana… ! No, I must have used mana! For sure! “It doesn’t make sense otherwise!!”

“There are many people around here who can feel mana like this. Would I do that?”

“Because I’m a master! There might be a trick or two that we don’t know about! “There might be a secret number that the Sword Master told me about!!”

“Do you think Master has nothing to do? I can handle this much on my own. “Stop being ugly, Professor.”

After catching his breath again, John straightened his back and pointed the tip of his sword at Jane Terceyez again.

I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.

No matter how much he is a master, there is a limit to the power that a human body can contain without mana. And until now, it was thought that a master without mana would have to deal with about 5 knights of expert or higher level.

But John had already dealt with 9 knights. Even 9 expert intermediate and advanced knights at once.

And what remains is a panting expert top-level knight. John was even more exhausted than he was, but he didn’t use any mana until the end.

The Knight of the Wind, who knows that no matter who stands last here, will be the one who loses, threatens John with gritted teeth.

“…The West will never forget this. One day, what you did will be taken back on the battlefield. Until then, take good care of your neck.”

“Why? It’s already come to this, so why don’t we end it here? Even using mana. Oh, you don’t have the courage to do that since you’re not even a master?”

“How dare this guy—!!!”

Jane Terseyez swings her sword at John, who does not give in until the end.

Befitting his nickname, the Knight of the Wind, his swift wooden sword cuts through the air to cut John into pieces.

Her blow was very threatening. Seeing this, Lana wondered if she could withstand that attack without mana and in the same physical condition as John.

However, John quelled the swift tempest of the wooden sword by striking it back a few times with the wooden sword, and then caught the wooden sword with his own hand.

“Ugh!! Let go of this guy! “You cowardly hold the sword!!”

“Do you, a knight, talk about cowardice when you grab a sword from an opponent and cannot remove it? There are many things, my professor. Oh, he’s not my professor because he’s never taught me. “Sloppy b*tch.”

Looking at her thick hands holding her wooden sword, Lana remembers what happened when she left her village.

-We are family. You can express it to that extent. No, if anything, I think Lana’s mom would be even sadder if she told me that she couldn’t do what she wanted to do because of me.

He eased his worries about returning as a knight and placed himself in the large arms where he was now wielding his sword.

Normally, a woman should hug a man… As someone who is also a mother…

But I didn’t want to do that. No, should I say that I couldn’t do that?

Men were small creatures that needed to be protected. That was the common sense of this world, and so was Lana Sartien, the man who became Lena’s father, whom she couldn’t even remember anymore.

In a space where her death was overflowing, the last wish of local nobleman Yeong-sik, who saved his life, was to hug the woman before he died. For Lana Sartian, the significance of a man’s existence was enough for Lana Sartian, as she had received her precious child, Lena, as a reward for him.

But the more she experiences John, the more her thoughts about the man she knew crumbles.

-Baaa!!

“Guheuuup!!!”

“Relax, Professor. Otherwise, it will be difficult to treat with potions later?”

While he was lost in thought for a moment, he must have overpowered Jane Terceyez, who had a wooden sword stuck in her mouth, and was being slapped by John.

“Stop, stop, Professor Ivorys!” Hasn’t the winner already been decided? What on earth is that… !”

“The sparring is not over yet, Head of Department. Look at those eyes. Is that the eye where the sparring is over yet? “It’s showing up very clearly.”

Of course, Jane Terseyez’s eyes were not burning with fighting spirit. It was just that her eyes were wide open because of her pain.

Dean Fraumch tried to stop Johan from further indecency, but the wooden sword he held in one hand was still stuck in his sparring partner’s mouth. Even if she tried to escape, her strength was gone and she could not escape the wooden sword held in John’s strong hand.

The surroundings had already become quiet due to shock, and an indelible image of John was imprinted in their minds.

-You must not touch John Ivorys. No matter what happens, never.

The knights in the North who were close to Lana Sartien, the professors in the South who had a crush on Johann Ivorys, as well as the professors in the western and eastern camps instinctively realized this.

After John physically trained Jane Terceillaise’s cheek several times,

-Sharp!

“Let’s end the sparring at this point. Thank you all for your hard work.”

“……”

“Oh, you weren’t able to answer, right? “Then I’ll be leaving.”

With the fallen Jane Terceillais behind him, John returned to where Lana Sartien was.

“Hey, John… “

“Thank you for your hard time waiting.”

“Well, that’s okay…” Huh?!”

– Side!

Johan suddenly got down on one knee, took Lana’s hand and kissed the back of her hand.

It’s as if a knight who won a competition, such as a ball or a joust, would do this to a nobleman who pledged victory.

Lana Sartiang asked hurriedly, her face starting to turn red in embarrassment.

“Yo, Johan!? What have you done now… ?”

“Well, whatever. “It’s common sense for a knight to offer victory to someone who promises victory.”

“Well, that’s for regular male Englishmen… “

“I’m a man? “I don’t want to kiss a man’s hand, so I promised myself to win and I have no choice but to dedicate my victory to the most beautiful lady here.”

“Wow, it’s the most beautiful. That… “

Lana instinctively erased the words ‘in this place’ from her mind and stared blankly at Yohan’s smile and the skin exposed by his tattered clothes.

A knight who overcame adversity and emerged victorious after a difficult sparring, in which the chances of defeat were much higher. And a fairytale-like story about accepting the knight’s heart.

Lana Sartien, who wanted to live as a knight for the rest of his life, suddenly thought that it would not be strange at all if John lived with his role reversed. No, I think it would actually look much better than the normal look.

And if I can play the role of receiving victory from him…

“Dean! Let’s go back now. To sort this out, I think it would be best to talk about the mansion tomorrow. “There are still a few days left until the new semester starts.”

“…..”

“Then let’s head back. Thank you all for your hard work.”

With a grin, Johan held Lana’s hand and walked towards the door of the grand training hall.

It’s like a knight rescuing a prince captured in the devil’s castle and taking him away.

I wonder if this place was somehow similar to that.

When Johan and Lana left, all the professors, who were frozen in shock, could not help but think that way.
