Academy
The basic ideology of Eland Academy is to provide education to talented people regardless of social status and to nurture talents who will support the kingdom. That’s why there are many people from commoners to nobles in the academy, and they are given equal opportunities and opportunities to learn.
– Nominally yes, but the reality is always different.
Education itself is given without any cost, but that’s all.
Students must pay for everything, including preparations for lectures, equipment maintenance, dormitory, food, and living expenses.
The children of nobles and merchants with deep pockets can devote themselves only to polishing their skills by equipping themselves with the finest equipment, eating wholesome meals, and hiring private tutors, while children of poor families and commoners have to work as mercenaries or work in the academy to attend an academy. He works hard to earn a living by doing a side job.
“Hey, give me the money.”
And among them, there were bad quality people who extorted money by threatening other cadets.
Of course, it was an act that deserved criticism, but whether it was a cadet or a professor, they pretended not to know it even after seeing it.
It was because they did not know if they touched high-ranking aristocrats or powerful families, but bullies were not stupid, so they touched poor or poor families with no remorse by forgery.

Just like scratching to make a boil, they think that publicizing it for nothing will only damage the honor of the academy, so they cover it up and move on.
Today, too, a tragedy in which a cadet threatens a cadet was taking place.
“Are you saying that to me now?”
“Then who else is here besides you?”
“…What is this? Is it a dream?”
However, there was one difference from usual, and that was that the role had changed.
Leon, who can be said to be the punching bag of the academy, threatens and the bullies are threatened. In an unimaginable incident, the bullies suddenly wondered if they were dreaming.
“Didn’t you hear? Give me the money.”
Realizing that this was not a dream but a reality at the prompting that followed immediately, the bullies said with absurd expressions.
“Give me money? To you? With us?”
“Yes. Give me all the money you’ve taken from me so far. 100 gold coins should be fine.”
At such an absurd amount, the bullies inadvertently asked back before getting angry.
“The amount of money we’ve taken from you so far is only about 50 gold coins at most. What is 100 gold coins?”
“Don’t you know the interest? If you borrow money, you have to pay it back with interest on top of the principal.”
“Oh, is it?”
After exchanging glances for a while, the bullies soon rose from their seats with cruel smiles.
“I don’t know what you ate wrong, but you did well today. I’ll beat you for 100 gold coins…”
Kwajik!
The hoodlum in the front was hit with a knee kick in the face and collapsed to the floor.
While everyone was hardened by the sudden surprise, Yoosung dug in like lightning and sprayed water, and in the blink of an eye, all the bullies were screaming and falling to the floor.
“Cuck!”
“All, legs! My legs!”
A brutal scene full of blood and screams.
Yuseong, who created this horror, said in a friendly voice as he stepped on the ankle of the fallen bully without blinking an eye.
“Don’t you understand what I mean? Give me all your money.”
“Keuheuk! How dare you, this asshole…”
Wood deok!
“Quaaagh!”
“Next is the left.”
“That, stop! I’ll give it to you! I’ll give it to you!”
Looking at the pockets and coins stacked in front of him, Yooseong said with a bright smile.
“If you search for it, it’s one fist per fairy tale?”
Tuduk! Took!
“Let’s see. I don’t think there’s any tag for 100 gold coins?”
“Do you know who’s dog’s name is 100 gold coins? There’s no way we have that much money!”
“So what?”
“What?”
Yoosung gave the cruelest smile he could to the bully with a bewildered face and said.
“Did you guys take care of my circumstances, harass me and steal my money? I don’t care about your situation, so give me 100 gold coins.”
“You bastard, really…”
Back!
The bully fell silent at the pressure rising up his remaining ankle.
“You’d better think it through before you speak.”
“·······.”
“I don’t care how you borrow, steal, or ask for an advance on your allowance, so make me 100 gold coins by tomorrow. .”
“···Ah Okay.”
“A promise?”
Yuseong, who got up from his seat, exaggeratedly shook his shoulders as if he had remembered something he had forgotten, and left with one more word.
“For reference, it’s not the sum, but 100 gold coins per person. Don’t forget.”
Yooseong, who was able to recall the facial expressions of bullies even without looking back, covered his mouth and burst into a small laugh. It was so funny how he looked at Leon, so far there was not a single one who was not vigilant among the guys he had met.
If I had fought properly, I would have taken down about 10 people at best because of my stamina consumption and numerical disadvantage.
-Are you laughing now?
‘yes? Are you not happy with the current situation?’
-I’m happy. I’m happy, but I’m not making it too big!
When a person encounters something beyond their limits, they are bound to panic, no matter what it is.
That’s exactly how Leon felt right now.
-Only those who have cleared it so far become close to one-tenth of the academy cadets! What if the other person starts a fight first? What if they go to the passers-by or those who are still and fight first and throw out a harpoon!
After receiving treatment from the priest and recovering from his wounds, Yooseong skipped lectures and indiscriminately smashed the cadets Leon pointed out while walking around the academy. At first, he was happy to see it, but after more than half a day, dozens of cadets collapsed, and Leon couldn’t help but feel fear at the growing scale.
‘It’s the same bullying, but if someone doesn’t get hit and someone gets hit, it’s not fair. I have to make sure I do it anyway.’
– Why did you take the money?
‘I have to get alimony.’
-···I’m done now. It’s over.
‘Don’t worry, it’s all under careful planning.’
– Meticulously. What part of the work you are doing right now is elaborate?
‘Um, everything?’
Yuseong, feeling Leon’s despair, felt the need to explain a little about his plan.
‘What is the reason for your despair now?’
-···That’s right, isn’t it because you’re worried about future problems? Yooseong-nim said that he would not stay in my body for a thousand years and help me, and that he would leave after this work was over, but how can I handle the later work?
‘okay? Then, if I don’t act out loud like I am now and just beat a few people moderately, will I be able to handle the aftermath?’
-uh···.
Leon was at a loss for words at the casually thrown word.
‘He said he was bullied for over a year. Do you think they won’t bother you anymore just because you destroyed a dozen or so people? I don’t think so. Those who haven’t been beaten by you, and those who dream of revenge even after being beaten by you will touch you at least once. And you, who are left alone, will probably find out that you have become weak again with a high probability. What will happen after that?’
Of course, the more difficult academy life will begin.
Realizing the situation he was in, Leon swallowed dry saliva and listened to Yoosung’s words.
‘If it’s enough to reduce bullying a little, it’s enough to show moderately outstanding skills. If you’re going to completely get rid of the bullying, it’s enough to reign as the strongest by showing overwhelming skills that no one will doubt. But right now, my skills are at an ambiguous level, neither of those two, and what I’m aiming for is more than just reducing or eliminating bullying.’
-···Now I understand what Yooseong-nim is thinking. But there is one fatal problem. How are you going to rectify what you’ve done so far?
Leon’s goal is to restore the Vermund martial law and revitalize the family.
Through the conversation with Yoosung, he realized that he could achieve that goal without obsessing over the academy, but the things he has done so far are not things that can be smoothed out to the extent of leaving the academy.
Considering the families and influence of the slain cadets, in the best case, they would receive life imprisonment or equivalent punishment, and in the worst case, not only themselves but also the families could be angry, so it was only natural to demand a countermeasure.
And Yooseong’s answer to this was simple.
‘I can’t fix it. How do I fix this?’
-Such a dog…
‘Uh huh. nice words.
In just half a day, dozens of cadets are in a situation where they are left with traumatic injuries, and the injuries inflicted are half-penny fighters from crumbling families.
Of course, there was no way to fix it.
-···Then what should I do?
‘Simple. I’m making collaborators and scapegoats.’
– Cooperator and scapegoat?

Just as he was about to ask what the accomplice was, Felix appeared and blocked the meteor.
“Professor Felix. Do you have any business with me?”
“What to see?”
Felix, whose eyes were twitching, managed to contain his anger and spoke in a growling voice.
“Indiscriminate assault on cadets, extortion of money and valuables, insult of character, attempted murder. You are arrested for 9 other violations of discipline.”
* * *
When a problem arises at the academy, professors gather to discuss and punish.
Since most of them are handled according to the internal rules, only the cadet who caused the problem and the professor in charge come out and confess the crime and notify the punishment, so it wasn’t such a big deal actually, but today was different.
“That bastard has created 86 seriously injured people! That’s in just one day! It’s not even cleanly stabbed, and it’s difficult to recover by breaking joints, shredding bones, and breaking limbs! Right now, at the swearing-in ceremony to be held three days later, the king Your Highness is going to be friendly, so how are you going to do this?”
“Anyway, you have to know that the warriors are violent. This happens because they only practice killing people.”
“What? Why is it our fault that he’s crazy? Did he go crazy after always being locked up in a dark room doing experiments?!”
“Tsk tsk, I knew this would happen since my mercenary said he was an instructor.
All the professors at the academy were screaming with blood vessels in their necks.
An unprecedented incident in which a single cadet insulted and insulted 86 cadets severely enough to suffer psychological aftereffects, and robbed property at the same time.
If it had been a moderately large event, everyone would have shushed it up and covered it up, but we have prepared a place like this on an unprecedentedly large scale.
thud!
Felix, who silenced everyone with his magical footsteps, took a step forward and spoke in a low voice.
“Cadet Leon. What was the purpose of doing this?”
Could this be the level of the legendary murder of a person by will?
Yooseong opened his mouth while looking straight at Felix, whose hair and clothes were swaying.
“I was just following Professor Felix’s teachings.”
“… Did you follow my teachings?”
“The academy is not your home, and I am not your parents. If an academy cadet is beaten up by other cadets and injured so badly that he or she cannot attend lecture, that is a personal matter to be dealt with. Didn’t you say you should take care of it yourself? All of these are from the position of an academy professor.”
Watching the corner of his mouth rise slightly as if he could not see it, Felix felt anger he had never felt before.
