The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

Chapter 103 - Abnormality and White Lily Academy [4]

103. Abnormality and White Lily Academy [4]

The moment I caught their attention and proposed to settle it through talking,

?H-Hey! What was that evil darkness just now?!?

From outside the main gate, a little girl rushed over to me in a hurry. There was a short sword, which looked like a wakizashi, fastened at her waist – most likely a swordsman still in middle-school.

?Umm… You must have come to the wrong academy. This is a high-school, you know?? I said, gently.

?P-Please don’t treat me like a child! I am Chemy Fasta, the Director of White Lily Academy!?

She showed off her teacher’s name tag, which read “Chemy Fasta, Director of White Lily Academy”, with an offended expression.

It was certainly her name and face on the name tag.

?E-Eh?!?I stared wide-eyed at Chemy-san.

Chemy Fasta. She is roughly around 140 centimeters in height. A genuine childlike face; who could probably never buy sake on her own. Skin as fresh and vibrant as a child. Parched black hair that extends to the back. A white lab coat that doesn’t fit her size. To be honest, no matter how I look at her, I can only see a child.

However,

?S-Sorry, excuse me…?

The fault definitely lies with me on this one. Paula-san always said it’s rude to treat an adult woman like a child.

?Hmm! If you understand, it’s okay!?she said, folding her arms.

Each of her actions was very child-like, I couldn’t help but look at her with warm eyes.

?Oi, chibi! Are you the director of this academy??

?Ah, y-you’re the super-problem child, Sid-kun, aren’t you? P-Please state what business you have at our academy…?

Overpowered by Sid-san’s glare, she casually hid behind Idol-san and spoke in funny honorifics. She’s not good at handling people with a boorish attitude, it seems.

?I’ll get right to the point. Give me Allen.?

He simply threw out his demands without concealing them behind pretty words.

?W-Well, that’s… actually a very difficult thing to do… which also involves a promise with the Thousand Blade Academy, so…?Chemy-san refused as politely as possible whilst cowering.

?Tsk… Then let me transfer here.?

?T-That is also pretty difficult, too… We’re an all girls’ school, so… How do I put this, a dangerou– I mean, a wild person like Sid-san is a little…?

With both of his requests turned down,

?Tsk. I guess the Miss was right, after all.?

After a loud tongue clicking, he took out a beautiful letter from his chest pocket.

?Take this. This is a letter I received from our Mis– our Director.?

?From Ferris-san??

Chemy-san received the traditionally designed letter, and intently read the contents inside.

?…I see, I understand. Sid Euclius-kun, Cain Material-kun… I’ll permit you to transfer here for a period of two-weeks.?

I don’t know what kind of change of heart Chemy-san had, but she readily admitted to their transfer.

?Sheesh!?

?Oh! We did it, Sid!?

While Sid-san and Cain-san were wrapped in joy,

?…Director Chemy??

Idol-san’s cold glance pierced Chemy-san.

?W-What is it, Idol-san??

?What was written in that letter just now??

?W-Well… the contents were truly wonderful! I was so very touched, to the extent which made me permit their transfer!?she said, in an excited voice, as though looking forward to something in the future.

How do I put this… It felt very suspicious.

?Is that true??

Idol-san took a step closer and stared directly into Chemy-san’s eyes.

?What?! Do you doubt your Director??

?Yes?Idol-san replied, almost immediately.

?……?Chemy-san became speechless.

?Look me in the eye. Can you honestly say?I don’t feel guilty at all???

?E-Eh, uh… W-Well, that’s…?

The authority in her voice from a few moments ago disappeared, and she was starting to slur on her words.

?As expected, you’re hiding something, aren’t you??

?Eh, uh… No! Well, it’s not like I’m hiding it or anything like that!?

As Chemy-san was in a disorderly state, the letter in question fell out of her pocket.

Without missing the opportunity, Idol-san picked it up with a quick move.

?Ah!? H-Hey, Idol-san?! Sensei has privacy, too!?

Chemy-san’s resistance was futile, and the contents of the letter were read out indifferently.

To Chemie.

My Sid wants to go with Allen-kun, so let him join.

Of course, I won’t ask for free.

Last month, you lost a big game on gambling and borrowed a great amount from?Fox Finance?, right?

I shall clear that debt for you.

Not a bad deal for you either, is it?

So, take care of my Sid, will ya?

Goodbye.

Ferris Dorahain

???……???

Indescribable awkward air loomed over.

It would seem that Chemy-san is a useless adult.

?S-S-S…Sorry!?

Unable to bear the piercing gaze of those around her, she bowed her head with a pitiful voice.

?But, but… The debt from Fox Finance is really large! I can never prepare such a large sum of money!?

?Then don’t go around gambling in that state.?

?Y-Yes!?

Idol-san’s fair argument stabbed deeply into Chemy-san’s chest.

?A-Anyway, this is a great opportunity for me! The debt will be cleared by simply allowing these two to transfer here. Please… Please overlook it this time!?she said, and prostrated on the ground(dogeza).

?Hey, you don’t have to go that far!?

When I tried to stop her, Idol-san stopped me.

?Director. Do you know how many times you have already performed dogeza this year??

?Uh?!?

?At this year’s art festival, there was a case where a few works made by students were lost. Later, I found out that they were apparently sold in the black market. This was circulated by you, wasn’t it, director??

?!!?

?Previously, there were complaints about some of the enrollment fees being stolen… you’re not embezzling, are you??

?……?

Chemy-san, who was cornered by Idol-san again and again, completely hardened.

The more we hear about her, the worse it gets.

?S-Sorry, it was all brought about by my lack of virtue. There are no words by which I can refute those.?

There was no shred of dignity as the director, as her forehead rubbed against the ground. The other students were probably tired of seeing Chemy-san’s umpteenth dogeza. Everyone passed by her with an indifferent look.

?Haa… Regardless, the director is still our teacher. I’ll leave it to you to decide what to do in the end.?

The moment Idol-san said that,

?Yay! Welcome to White Lily Academy! Sid-san, Cain-san, welcome!?

Chemy-san immediately stood up and permitted their transfer.

(Wow, amazing… There’s not even the slightest remorse!)

I can finally understand the reactions and attitudes of Idol-san and the other students.

?Oh, the chime will ring soon. Let’s go now! The classroom of the transfer students will be Year 1 Class A – because I am the homeroom teacher. So, you can ask me anything!?

With the prospect of her debt being cleared away, Chemy-san walked to the main academy building in a good mood.

?

After that, we took time in the homeroom and gave a brief self-introduction in front of the class. Ria and Rose were of the same sex, so they seemed to get used to the class quickly. In addition, Cain-san, who has a relatively calm appearance, was warmly welcomed as well.

(But, they seem to be a bit frightened of me and Sid-san.)

Maybe because I have this black-and-white mesh hairstyle, and Sid-san’s bad language and attitude is the cause.

(This is going to take some time before they warm up to us…)

While I was thinking about that,

?Everyone, we’re going to start the first-period class. Take your towel and water bottle and move to the Soul Dress Area? Chemy-san said, and we promptly moved to the underground Soul Dress Area.

It seems not all that different from Thousand Blade Academy when it comes to soul dress class. Face your spirit core by holding a spirit sword. I’m sure the other three Five Academy’s also take the same approach.

?Then, everyone, please get started!?

When Chemy-san clapped, everyone of Class A quietly closed their eyes, and sank into the world of souls. I followed suit and held up a spirit sword in front of my chest.

(Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I met that guy in person.)

While thinking about that, my consciousness sunk deeper into the depths of my soul. When I came to realize, a desolate world spread before me. As I turned towards the rock with a crack running on its surface, that guy was sitting there as usual.

?Haa, you never learn… Haven’t you realized that we’re realms apart by now? E”e??

?Aa, you might be right.?

I ignored the usual abusive words, and

?Thank you. You saved me? I expressed my gratitude honestly.

?…A”a??

I guess he doesn’t know what he was being thanked for seeing as he frowned in a puzzled manner.

?Regarding the previous incident. If you hadn’t gone on a rampage then, Ria would have been kidnapped by the Black Organization, and Rose and the president might have been killed. So, thank you.?

He’s an outrageous fellow who’s willing to enjoy blood and violence.

(But that is that, and this is this.)

I should properly express my gratitude where it’s due.

?Tch, don’t say gross stuff. Why don’t you go and quietly do your useless practice-swings, E”e!?he said, in a displeased tone, and closed the distance with me in one step.

He threw a powerful straight right.

I sidestepped it.

?H”A!??

I guess he never dreamed that I would be able to avoid one of his strongest blows. He was so surprised that his eyes widened.

?I’ve also been getting a little stronger, too? I said, and created a?pseudo-black sword?that boasted unprecedented?density?and?output?compared to previous instances.

And then,

?Seventh Sword – Instant Flash!?

I had already slashed his chest with a god-speed Iai slash by the time the sound of the slash caught up.
