A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

064. end of hesitation

The director of the newspaper ‘Artoria Sean Sign’ laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth were torn when he received the manuscript of a new article.

From noble mtl dot come

“After all, it’s our hero Trine!”

A newspaper company whose performance was poor due to a lack of major news for a while.

However, thanks to Trine’s continuous performance since half a year ago,

Every time his face appeared on the front page, sales increased several times.

“It’s not enough to have defeated the demons, but to finally get married to the princess, it’s amazing!”

However, the director, who was looking at the manuscript, soon distorted his expression a little.

“Hmm, it’s a bit plain. It would be better to write it a little more exaggeratedly.”

After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to have a good idea and shouted.

“Yes! Trine is feared by even the Great Devil, turns out to be the reincarnation of God, let’s go with this title!”

At that time, one of the employees suddenly opened the door and shouted.

“Gu, Director! This is a big deal!”

“Something suddenly?”

“The devil has attacked the newspaper!”

“devil?”

At that time, the screams that were heard in the distance got closer and closer,

Soon the door to the director’s office was loudly split in half.

“Nice to meet you. I have something a little more serious to talk about, so is that okay?”

The director fell off his chair due to the intimidation of the intruder.

“Now, who are you?”

A man with a truly devil-like expression.

He plunged his sword into Director Dajjagojja’s desk with all his might,

He spoke softly, containing all the hatred that had been building up for half a year.

“It’s Trine.”

***

The next day, the academy’s knight department classroom.

Prince Siran frowned as he opened the newspaper.

“Huh? Why was the news of the marriage confirmed published in small print in the back rather than on the front page?”

Trine answered calmly, repeatedly squeezing and unfolding a small grip exercise device.

“Really? That’s good.”

“Did you do something? I heard you stopped by somewhere yesterday.”

“I don’t know. Oh, it’s already time.”

Trine took out a tumbler, poured a lot of strange powder into it, and shook it vigorously.

He drank it all in one go and made a terrible expression,

Soon I started doing grip exercises again.

The students around him glanced sideways at Trine and whispered.

“Hasn’t he changed something? He feels more wild.”

“Didn’t you join the bodybuilding special activity club?”

“He must be full of confidence because his marriage to Princess Xia has been confirmed.”

confidence?

No, it was closer to nervousness than that.

The day before yesterday, right after I loudly shouted in front of everyone that I would save Yuril,

Because I realized that I hadn’t done anything to save her yet.

That is why we have decided to move proactively now.

Hwaran whispered to Trine.

‘master! cheer up! go for it!’

The nameless devil also spoke in a voice that somehow seemed happy.

‘I hope you cheer up, at least for the sake of my boredom.’

Even Shin Yumano, who had just returned to Trine, spoke.

‘I hope your efforts will be rewarded.’

However, the support of those whose mere presence is a source of stress only increases Trine’s worries.

Trine muttered, still clenching and unclenching his hands.

“Okay. From now on, let’s cut out all the unnecessary things and only think about saving Yuril.”

But soon, a broadcast was heard overhead, as if mocking his resolve.

“Trine, a first year student in the Department of Engineers, please come to the student council room immediately.”

***

Trine carefully entered the student council room and saw senior Myeong-yoon waiting with several other student council officers.

“Welcome.”

Trine hesitated for a moment and then bowed deeply.

“I was sorry before.”

“There is no need to apologize for something that has already happened.”

Then, he handed back to Trine the armband that Trine had returned after the festival.

“Starting today, I will appoint you as an official student council officer.”

“I decline.”

“You have no choice. This is also Queen Orlot’s instructions.”

Trine frowned and reluctantly received the armband.

The executives around me applauded,

Myeong-yoon looked at Trine intently and said.

“Personally, I have high expectations of you. So please don’t disappoint me.”

At those words, Trine glared at Myeong-yoon and said.

“…Honestly, I don’t like my senior.”

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t like juniors who like me either.”

… When Trine left the student council room, Vice President Lane followed him.

“I’m sorry that the student council president is like that.”

“Yes, well, I know the situation roughly.”

“Actually, Senior Myungyoon was a quite pleasant person until last year.”

“I can’t imagine it at all.”

When Lane stopped walking, Trine also stopped.

“It is said that people born in the heavenly world naturally have richer emotions than humans.”

“is that so?”

“However, it is said that as they grow, they gradually lose their emotions and become nothing more than machines that serve God.”

“…….”

“And the term ‘devil’ refers to those who were banished from heaven because they could not let go of their emotions.”

Trine had a serious expression on his face.

Senior Lane smiled once and patted him on the back.

“So, Myung-yoon, it would be convenient to think of it as just a natural disaster. Disasters are meant to be avoided, not prevented, right?”

With those words, Lane left,

Trine asked to himself as he walked back to the classroom.

‘Mr. Nameless Devil, were you originally an angel too?’

‘Well, that’s fine. It’s been so long ago that I don’t even remember.’

‘You’re not planning on taking revenge on Heaven, are you?’

‘That’s a big misunderstanding. ‘I don’t really move for personal feelings such as pleasure or revenge.’

‘is that so.’

‘The world is moving in harmony between creation and destruction. My actions may be evil to you, but from this world’s perspective, they are inevitable.’

Then Yumano Shin nervously intervened.

‘Stop making absurd excuses! If your goal is destruction, you can just go out and break rocks!’

‘Hmph, these are too ignorant words to come out of the mouth of a man named God.’

It seemed like the two would start arguing again at any moment, so Trine quickly intervened.

‘Anyway, how long will you two be in my heart? ‘Isn’t the contract over now?’

‘There’s no reason to leave just because the contract is over, right?’

‘While he’s here, I have to stay and watch over him.’

Immediately afterwards, Hwaran appealed in a tearful voice.

‘master… Please kick those two out… ‘

It was then.

Suddenly, several students came out, grabbed Trine, and forcibly dragged him to the backyard.

Trine frowned as he glanced at the bald senior who looked familiar to him for some reason.

“…a great sense of déjà vu.”

The senior bowed down in front of the train.

“Trine, please! Help us revive the Department of Alchemy with prodigy Cat!”

“Huh? Could it be that the Alchemy Club was disbanded?”

“Not the department, but the department! Did you know that the Academy originally also had an alchemy department?”

“I’m sorry, but I think I’ll be tight just with student council work.”

Then the bald senior took out a pair of leather gloves and showed Trine.

“I’ll give you this if you help us.”

“What is that?”

“You say you have no grip strength because your right hand is injured? This is the Ogre Power Gauntlet we put a lot of effort into making for you.”

Suddenly, another member hit the manager on the head.

“Manager, that name is already patented so it’s not allowed?”

“…It’s just a glove of great strength.”

At those words, Trine’s eyes flashed and he tried to put his hand on the glove.

However, the bald senior pulled back his gloves as if offering medicine.

“Uh-huh! The condition for giving this is the revival of the Department of Alchemy!”

“…Okay, that’s it. I’ll just ask Cat to make one for me.”

“Hehe. Is it really possible? Cat prodigy’s specialty is fixation on magic! But this glove wouldn’t be possible without my mechanical enhancement technology!”

Trine groaned to himself for a moment, then relaxed his shoulders as if resigned.

“…I’ll talk to Cat first and tell you what to do tomorrow.”

“thanks!”

***

“I absolutely hate it!”

In the workshop, Cat responded immediately by hitting the metal with a hammer without even looking at Trine.

“You stupid owner! I’ve cut ties with the Academy, so please don’t get me involved!”

For some reason, the number of miscellaneous items in Cat’s workshop increased exponentially as the days passed.

Thanks to this, I don’t even have room to step anymore.

At least Muscle said he would stay in the elf village for the time being, so that’s a shame.

Trine paused for a moment and then asked her.

“Didn’t you say that the Department of Alchemy disappeared because of you in the first place?”

“That’s why you don’t want to get involved even more!”

“What on earth happened then that caused the entire department to disappear?”

Then Cat stopped hammering and muttered.

“…I will exercise my right to remain silent.”

“If you don’t like it, make me a pair of super strength gloves.”

“What is that stupid name?”

“I heard it’s a glove that increases grip strength.”

“That’s in the field of mechanical enhancement. I’m in the field of magic fixation, so it’s impossible.”

“It’s a shame.”

“Anyway, there’s someone at the Academy who can make something like that? That’s amazing.”

“If you’re curious about who it is, would you like to see the face?”

“I said I don’t like it.”

When Cat started hammering again, Trine sat down and asked, clearing up all the junk on the floor.

“Forgetting everything else, now really teach me. What on earth happened to you in the past?”

“I will exercise my right to remain silent!”

“For some reason, there’s nothing good about it even in old newspapers.”

“I will exercise my right to remain silent!”

“Even the instructors are in a quiet mood.”

“Right to remain silent!”

“Is this something so shameful between friends?”

Cat seemed annoyed and hit the hammer hard once.

Then he reluctantly put down the hammer and sat down in front of Trine.

“…it’s going to be a long story.”

Then Trine took out a grip device from his pocket and started massaging it.

“It’s okay. I’ll just be training my grip in the meantime.”

“This kid has such a bad haircut.”

Cat grumbled once and spoke with a serious expression.

“Instead, after listening to everything, promise me that you will never do anything useless for me.”
