Chapter 207 – 207. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
207. Maehwa sword reincarnated in the count family
Haha…. I had no idea that Baron Eugene Prouckus would come to Goldway Academy.”
The old man sitting in front of me said in a soft tone.
He is Harvis Brachio, the 11th dean of Goldway Academy and an Archmage.
The Archmage is a level that can be said to have reached the level of an Aura Master in terms of knights.
“I have been very interested in Goldway Academy since the old days. The most outstanding academy on the continent! Academy that anyone can become a successful life if they receive education from Goldway! I really wanted to visit once.”
“As the saying goes, Goldway Academy is an outstanding academy. That’s why we don’t accept students carelessly. Moreover, this is not the period for accepting students.”
The Goldway entrance exam is famous. It’s a place that ordinary people who don’t have a talent for swordsmanship or magic can’t enter. The least necessary talent is the ability to manipulate mana.
Goldway is so obsessed with talent that even the sons of nobles refuse admission if they don’t have talent. Conversely, if you are a commoner but have talent, you will be recommended by graduates from all over the world and given financial support and an opportunity to take the entrance exam.
“I am the highest level Auror user. We are on the verge of becoming an expert.”
“Hoo. At that age, at that level…. I want you to be great.”
“However, I feel that there is something missing in reaching the expert level. I might be able to fill something up while attending the academy this time…. I definitely want to attend Goldway Academy.”
“Baron Pruckus. You are already awesome No need to fret. Efforts do not betray you, so if you keep working hard, you will soon reach the level of an expert.”
Dean Harvis doesn’t seem to have any intention of getting me into the academy.
It’s not that I don’t understand. Because the tradition of Goldway Academy is at stake.
“I know that my older brother entered Goldway Academy, but….”
“The baron’s brother… ? Oh, student Kyle? If you want to meet me, meet me. Goldway Academy does not stop family reunions.”
Kyle took Purcus’ surname and was active as a commoner. What she found out though was that she investigated Kyle. Well, it’s natural to investigate, and since he’s using the name Kyle, it should have been easy to figure out.
‘As expected, don’t you have any intention of admitting me to the school with just words?’
It was best to convince the dean with words… Can not help it.
I put the iron bag I had prepared on the table.
The bag squeaks.
“It’s the first box I’ve ever seen. What is this?”
“This is a donation that has been prepared for the Goldway Academy. If I could get into the academy, I was thinking of donating everything. It’s the academy I attend, so of course it should be.”
What I was prepared for was money.
“Her…. Heh, heh heh.”
Harvis let out a laugh as if it were absurd.
There must have been many aristocrats like me who wanted to pay to enter Goldway Academy. But they all fell off.
‘After all, what Goldway Academy is looking for is talent. If I enroll a son of an aristocrat with substandard talent, I’ll be suspicious right away.’
The difference between them and me was talent, not money. My talent is at a level where I can enter Goldway Academy. Other students will not even think that I entered with money.
“Didn’t my older brother enter as a special cadet in the swordsmanship department instead of formal admission? Is that impossible for me too?”
“Special cadets are a little different from students. Cadet Kyle became a special cadet at the strong recommendation of the swordsmanship professors.”
At the academy, cadets must be recommended by a professor. I am educated like a student, but I also work to help professors.
Usually, cadets are chosen from among the students, but Kyle is a special cadet brought by a professor from outside the academy.
Kyle’s swordsmanship is fundamentally different from that of this world, so the professors called Kyle to study his swordsmanship.
“I have no intention of becoming a special cadet like my brother. I don’t have enough skills to do that.”
Click click.
When I opened the bag, it was full of gold coins.
Havis opened his eyes wide and peered into the bag.
“A total of 4,000 gold coins. Two billion ner.”
“…… Huh.”
Harvey’s eyes twitched.
2 billion ner is a lot of money. A few months of profit for a small magic tower.
Harvis is an Archmage, but he is human. He cannot be greedy for money.
‘And recently. There was an accident at Goldway Academy. I must have spent some money fixing it.’
According to him, he blew up several magic labs while researching the captive Chimera in the magic department.
“Hmm…. However….”
There was no such firmness as before. I could see Harvis’s hesitation.
“I don’t intend to attend Goldway Academy for long. Because I am the owner of a territory. I plan to attend Goldway Academy for about three months and then leave.”
Goldway Academy is a five-year program. There is a system called an early graduation exam, but it is very difficult.
“3 months?! Really?”
“Why would I lie?”
“Well. I think 3 months is possible. But I cannot give you a diploma.”
“I understand. If you go to school for three months and get a diploma from Goldway Academy, isn’t that a robbery?”
“I’m glad you understand. But I don’t think it’s going to be a normal student status. I need some way….”
He was lost in thought I waited in silence Once he was able to enter the Goldway Academy, he achieved his goal.
“A sudden transfer would be strange to both professors and students…. Well. Right. Gratitude would be good.”
“… Yes?”
Why is gratitude suddenly appearing?
“Isn’t it a little strange to be a transfer student who only attends for three months? Professors and students will protest. But if I secretly spread rumors about you as the auditor, there will be no backlash.”
“… I guess so.”
An auditor pretending to be a student goes to the academy for three months to audit secretly. If such rumors circulate secretly, professors and students will take good care of me and try to treat me well.
“I don’t want to go to work starting tomorrow… We need time to spread rumors, so you can transfer to the academy in three days.”
“Thank you. Dean Harveys. Thanks to you, I am entering the Goldway Academy, which I have been dreaming of for a long time.”
“Well. By the way, are you going to live in a dormitory?”
“Yes. I would like to if possible, but I have three servants. Wouldn’t the dormitory be cramped?”
“It’s okay. Several dormitories for nobles are empty, so you can use them.”
“Thank you for caring me.”
“I was just doing what I was supposed to do as dean. But this money….”
“Yes. I will donate all Please write for Goldway Academy.”
“Hmm. I will.”
Harvis took the money bag. Will that money be spent only for the academy?
I shook my head and erased the question. That money is already out of my hands. I didn’t know how to use it.
‘Heh. Academy life. I’m really looking forward to it.’
•••
The maids and I entered the dormitory prepared by Dean Harvis.
The dormitory for nobles was narrower than I thought. There are three rooms and one living room. There is also a kitchen and a private bathroom.
‘It’s not enough to think that it’s for nobles. Besides, the furniture is all cheap.’
All furniture was changed.
‘Compared to the mansion in Tebra, it’s nothing but rubbish…. Well, it’s not a place to live for the rest of my life.’
I decided to be satisfied with it.
I put a big, fluffy bed in the largest room and called the maids.
“Guys, come quickly. Now that we’re staying here, we need to mark our territory!”

“Nice to meet you. This is Eugene Pruckus from Lapelli Kingdom. Since she was a child, she has longed for Goldway Academy and has decided to take lessons with you for the next three months. Take good care of me.”
Swordsmanship department 4th year. Looking at more than 50 students, he said confidently. Although I am young, I do not yield to them in terms of my skills. There won’t be a student who can beat me in the middle of the day. Except for one person, Kyle.
Kyle was staring at me with a blank expression. It seems quite surprised.
After introducing myself, I sat down casually in an empty seat. Somewhere away from Kyle. There were a lot of people around Kyle. Like the original protagonist, it was popular.
Kyle glanced at me. It looks like he wants to come and talk to me right away, but he can’t because of the people around him.
All other students are looking at me. They all know me as an auditor pretending to be a student, so they will treat me with care.
Class has started
The Department of Swordsmanship doesn’t mean only learning related to swordsmanship. Learn the history of the continent and the strategy of war.
This is because when swordsmanship students graduate from the academy, they will eventually become knights, and being a knight is no different from a soldier after all.
Break time at the end of class. Students gathered around me.
“If it’s Pruckus… Are you referring to Count Purcus of Lapelli Kingdom?”
“Goldway Academy is a great place. I’m from the kingdom of Tatis….”
Most of them were nobles. Because I was aristocrats. Also, they stretch out words like this to impress me.
I’m annoying, but I dealt with them moderately with a smile on my face.
“Eugene Prouckers. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could talk separately? Let me tell you about Goldway Academy.”
“…… What about that one?”
“My name is Kyle Jether.”
Kyle Zedder. A pseudonym used by Kyle.
I got up from my seat.
“Take good care of me. Kyle.”
I smiled and told him.
Kyle took me to a deserted place. Judging from the armor, sword, and scarecrow, it must have been a preparation room.
“Eugene! I never thought you’d come to Goldway Academy. You didn’t follow me, did you?”
That’s right.
“No. I have been interested in Goldway Academy for a long time.”
“It was a coincidence. How can there be such a coincidence….”
“It’s not entirely coincidental. Because I knew my brother was here.”
“You knew?”
“Your brother is the second son of the Pruckus family, don’t you know too much about the Pruckus family? The Prucus family knows everything about how his brother is doing.”
“…….”
Kyle had a shocked face. He has a dull corner somewhere, and it seems he never imagined that the Pruckus family would be tracking him.
“Brother. I’m going to lose my jaw.”
“Uh, uh. But if the family knew it, why….”
“I respect your brother’s choice. Although her mother seems a little upset.”
“…….”
Kyle was lost in thought. She must be thinking about her family. Looking at him, I thought that maybe I might return to the mansion faster than the original.
“I’m a bit taken aback. If it’s your skill, you don’t need to learn swordsmanship at the academy.”
“There are things that I owe to the professor…. I wanted to learn various swordsmanships from another world.”
It was a fact that I knew through the original.
Kyle’s purpose is to establish a volcanic faction in this world, and it would be good to know the various sword techniques in this world in preparation for that time.
“By the way… There was a rumor within the academy that you were the auditor…. It’s true?”
“It’s true.”
She lied without spitting on her lips. Everything was discussed with Dean Harvis, so there was nothing to be discovered.
“Whoa. I see The professors and students are all fussing about having to look good for you. Did you even clean yesterday?”
Kyle smiled at me.
“When will you return to your family?”
“…… Did your mother and father ask you to bring me?”
“You know that neither of you are like that. I’m asking Kim who faced me like this. I want my brother to come back to the mansion soon.”
I want him to return to his family quickly and fight his eldest son, Gent. That way I’ll be able to take advantage of them.
“At least for now… I have no intention of going back.”
“Okay. I’ll tell my mother well.”
“By the way, Eugene. That you came here…. Did YuRia come here too?”
