A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

048: A Kiss for Life

What is the mind?

Strictly speaking, it’s not something entirely separate from the body.

The brain or spinal cord may change, but the basic nature remains somewhat consistent.

So, I thought I could imitate Trian’s sword technique to about 80%.

But there was none.

“Ah! Wait! Mom! I’m dying!”

“Of course, your mind is rotten, so your sword technique has also gone downhill!”

Hwaran dodged Rizavette’s attack without even drawing her sword once.

Clearly, reflexes and physical abilities are the same as Trian’s.

As the torrential storm of blades surged towards her with unrelenting ferocity,

she couldn’t muster the courage to clash with her own sword.

“Are you kidding me? What’s going on here?!”

“Don’t be afraid, just go with the flow! I’ll remember my past experiences and use them to my advantage!”

“I refuse to lose! I’ll really die!”

In the end, Lizebet’s horizontal swing knocked her to the ground, unconscious.

“…Stand tall.”

“Hey, I lost, so I’ll stop here today-“

“Stand tall.”

“Today, I don’t feel like my body is all that great-“

“Stand tall!”

From noble mtl dot come

Lizebet slammed her greatsword down onto the ground with a rough motion.

“I don’t have the right to do something like this to you.”

Her face, drenched in rain, looked utterly miserable.

“But it’s even worse to just watch you fall into depravity.”

…When he said that, Wahran smiled kindly and said:

“That’s so great, thanks for telling me.”

He casually released the magic sword’s summon.

Then, he stood up from his seat, assuming a fighting stance for the first time in his life.

“Then I’ll take it seriously too,” he said.

“…Good.”

Wahran’s words were unclear, but Rizbeto also put down his great sword and clenched his fists with both hands, shouting:

“Let’s go all out!”

“That’s it, let’s go!”

Suddenly, the two of them became one and charged forward.

“What’s going on?!”

Continuous high-speed movement spellbinding.

This was a technique that would never be used in normal times, as it would waste magical power.

Rizbeto also knew this and didn’t react in time.

Ultimately, she had foolishly gone off in the wrong direction and got lost.

Behind her, Ren had been caught up.

“Hey.”

Suddenly, Ren had bitten Lizbet’s cheek.

And then whispered into her ear.

“Please take care of me, or at least, me.”

“What’s going on now?”

“Ah! Something urgent has come up, so I’ll have to go first! Bye!”

Ren quickly turned and whispered to herself.

‘As long as it’s mutual, I’ll make it work.”

Just then, the devil smiled and replied.

“Well, that was quite amusing, so I’ll give you that.”

“Alright! Let’s make it two! Now, only two of us need to kiss-“

“Traitor, I’ll kill you!”

As soon as I turned around, startled by the incredibly loud voice,

Lizbet was chasing after her with a demon-like expression.

“Ahahahahahaha!”

“Don’t stop there!”

“I’m sorry! Please spare my life!”

“Payback will come in your death!”

Hwaran dashed into the dormitory building, muttering to herself.

“Two people! Catch them before they get away!”

Just then, Hwaran discovered Katt and Yuril hiding behind a pillar.

It wasn’t the time to eat a hot meal.

Yuril had said no, so…

Hwaran swiftly planted a kiss on Katt’s forehead.

“What the heck! Who’s this kid?”

“Sorry! I’ll explain later!”

And then, she ran down the corridor with all her might, searching for the last sacrifice, pursued by Lizbet.

“Hold up!”

“Just one person, please!”

Right as Hwaran was about to be caught by Lizbet.

Someone suddenly appeared in front of her, like a miracle.

“Alright! The last one!”

“Hey! No way! Not even that human!”

It’s too late.

Hwaran threw herself at the person in front of her, lips colliding.

***

As soon as Hwaran returned to the world of Trian’s subconscious, she held up her small hand as if in a doll-like gesture.

“It’s great!”

The devil sat down in his chair, clapping.

“Excellent! Acknowledge it, your victory!”

On the other hand, Trian slumped to the floor, muttering to himself.

“I’m done… My life is over…”

“Ah, just a few people I’ve kissed, and nothing’s going to change.”

“Shh! I’ll change my name and face and live in another country!”

“Anyway, keep the promise and leave me alone, you parasite!”

The devil’s expression turned gloomy as he said this.

“I didn’t promise to give you my eyes, nor did I say I’d leave you.”

“You scoundrel! Swindler! Liar!”

“I’ve never seen such absurd gaslighting in my life.”

The devil stood up from his seat,

Pfft-

suddenly pulling out one of his eyeballs.

“This is the promised reward.”

He forced the eyeball into Train’s mouth and made him swallow it by force.

“Ow! What have you done?”

“I’ll tell you later. Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen, so calm down.”

Train glared at the devil for a moment,

As if giving up, he turned his head to Hwaran and said.

“What’s hidden from me?”

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t I ask you who gave you the name ‘Hwaran’ back then?”

“Ah….”

“The martial arts you wrote aren’t even in my memory.”

Hwaran briefly glanced away, trying to avoid eye contact, but couldn’t resist the persistent gaze of the trainer.

“Alright, I’ll tell the truth.”

Just then, the devil intervened.

“That doesn’t seem to matter.”

“What? Why suddenly?”

“That conversation we had here will all be forgotten if it comes to life.”

The trainer understood the true meaning of those words and pondered.

“Well, for now, let’s just say….”

“We’ll forget everything we did here, including the fact that we played a game.”

“Are you kidding me?! If those kids wake up, they’ll kill me on the spot!”

“What, are you counting your lucky stars?”

“Shut up, you devil’s kid! At least give me a chance to explain to the others-“

“—aaahhh!”

The train’s eyes widened as he let out a loud scream.

As he did, some of the people around him seemed to relax.

“…What’s going on? Why am I lying on the floor?”

The train raised his upper body and muttered to himself.

“Why is my body all tied up like this?”

Looking around, he spoke to himself again.

“Why are they all staring at me like they’re going to kill me?”

Meanwhile, Yu-ri was dangling a needle with thread.

“Hey, Yu-ri? What are you doing with that?”

“Get in.”

Lizbet held a sharp-looking dagger in her hand.

“Lizbet? What’s the point of that?”

“Get in.”

Even the cat, Katt, was holding a giant scissors.

“Katt, what’s going on?”

“What’s the point?”

At this point, it was already clear that there was something strange happening, but for some reason, it didn’t make sense.

Then, without warning, a new figure appeared.

“Prince Siroh? Why are you here?”

Prince Siroh looked at Trailin with a subtle expression.

“Are you going to kiss me like that and pretend you don’t know?”

Just then, Trailin realized that something very dangerous was happening.

‘Hey! Hwaran! What’s going on here?’

“I don’t know anything.”

“Lie! You’re definitely hiding something!”

“I really don’t know! Lord, I pray for good luck!”

The three women gradually approached Trian.

“Just a moment, everyone, just a moment! Please explain what’s going on first.”

Yu-ril held up a needle while looking down at Trian with a cold gaze and said.

“Don’t fool around. I already know you’re just pretending to be fainted.”

“Fainted? Me? When did I?”

“Ah, Trian, I’ll give you a chance to speak your last word.”

“No, that’s why-“

“Speak calmly. Your next words will be your last words.”

Trian turned his head with all his might.

And then he took a brief breath and spoke calmly.

“Put me next to Elford’s master.”

As a lightning bolt struck outside the window,

a chilling scream echoed through the dormitory at the same time.

On the other hand,

Princess Sia was wandering around the palace garden, armed with a sword and looking rather awkward.

“Ah… Ah… You’re really stubborn, aren’t you?”

Sia took a deep breath and rushed forward again.

But she was knocked back by the opponent, who was lightly striking her with his sword.

The opponent said,

“Are you giving up already?”

Sia stood up from her seat again at these words.

“This is nothing compared to Lord Trian’s efforts, you know.”

“You also think magic suits you better than a sword, don’t you?”

“That’s not for you to decide, anyway,” Sia said, holding her sword again and charging at King Siedar.

Facing each other with their swords drawn,

Princess Sia gazed at the king with a fierce determination and said:

“No more hiding in the shadows.”

“If you’re going to, then show some guts.”

The king strengthened his grip on the sword and pushed Sia back.

Sia, however, used her opponent’s strength against them and struck the king’s side with her sword.

“Good.”

“…Excellent.”

The one-on-one battle continued for nearly a month.

Finally, Sia succeeded in thrusting her sword into the king’s body.

“Well, as promised, I can take the academy entrance exam.”

“Are you going to go around with that miserable trainee and his kind?”

“Of course.”

Princess Sia calmly put away her sword and said:

“Now that I’ve joined forces with that person, we’ll stand together.”
