I Became an Academy Regular

Original departure (2)

Beatrice returned the menu board placed on the table for me to see.

“Well, is there anything you want to eat? I’ll buy it, so you can do whatever you want.”

Well. Also, I didn’t just call to return the weapon. You seem to have something to say to me.

“Then… I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”

As soon as the waiter came and took our order, he pointed to the menu and said,

“Would you like some Vienna coffee… and strawberry smoothie?”

“Huh? Yes, that’s it.”

That’s the answer. Because Beatrice’s favorite drink is a strawberry smoothie.

I finished my order and looked at Beatrice. He wears plain clothes, unlike the usual ones he usually wears in armor. It’s a simple white t-shirt and jeans, but it goes well with that alone.

Beatrice swept the pink hair flowing down in front of her eyes to the side. He looked at it and he asked cautiously.

“So, do you have anything else to do with me other than weapons…?”

“Do you think I have something else to say?”

“Yes. That’s why you didn’t ask to see me at the cafe…”

“Ahaha. That’s right. And you don’t have to say it that hard. Just say it comfortably.”

Beatrice laughed playfully and then coughed.

“Hmmm. First of all, let me introduce myself, I’m newly appointed…”

“Mika Beatrice-sama, are you right?”

Beatrice’s eyes widened when I said my name, and then she made a look of realization.

“Oh, you saw my name on the business card.”

I shook my head and said shyly.

“Because you already know him.”

“Uh-huh, right? You knew me?”

“Yes. There is no way you don’t know.”

…It’s embarrassing to say this, but you in front of me are the heroines who have been attacked several times. And I am the old person who knows the essential elements of the good feeling.

‘There’s no guarantee that we’ll have a chance to talk just like this in the future.’

So, I had to raise the affinity as much as possible now and create a distance to meet after this.

Since the Beatrice family was gifted with fighting skills, from an early age, no matter how well they handled their weapons, the trend was that it was natural rather than praised. As such, Beatrice, who has a ‘defiance of praise’, is very fond of the compliments she receives, regardless of age or gender, despite being in her 20s.

‘There were times when I was persecuted because of Drakhan.’

As the first element of favoritism, Beatrice is weak in praise. I mean, I really like it when it comes to anything.

And the second factor is that they are ‘real’ weak to compliments. I like it even if I say it to the point that I think it’s too overbearing. I like slurred words.

In other words, if you want to maximize Beatrice’s initial favorability, you just need to praise it.

Authorized by Seo-Han, the difficulty of attack is ‘1’.

“You’re the 7th-floor imperial knight leader, Prince Castel’s escort knight, and ‘weapon master’ Mika Beatrice, aren’t you?”

When referring to the Weapon Master, he emphasized it with a little force. It’s these little details that matter.

When I glanced at Beatrice’s face, it was in a slightly reddish state.

“Huh… How do you know me so well?”

“Yeah-.”

I continued speaking without saliva on my lips.

“Because Beatrice-sama is my role model. I only deal with frivolous weapons such as guns, but Beatrice-sama knows how to handle any weapon.”

Hearing my praise-filled words, Beatrice scratched her cheek, avoiding her gaze as if strangely. By the way, it means asking for more, not shame.

“No, well. I’m not undecided…”

Mujera. Hearing that word, he thought for a moment, then quickly recalled what Beatrice wanted. And he lowered his voice, he said solemnly.

“It’s a bit harsh to say this, but I thought Beatrice-sama should have more Arwell than Noah Park.”

“Huh. Do you know those two?”

“Yes. I am personally acquainted with them. That story is a sad story that I accidentally found out while looking for Beatrice-sama…”

“…a hero aspiring hero.”

Beatrice had a hard expression on her face.

“Are you my fan?!”

And he said with an excited face.

···Maybe if the system was the same as the game, [Mika Beatrice’s favorability increased by 10] would have come to my mind. Anyway, this seems to have raised all the favorable feelings that can be raised through the first conversation.

I nodded and did not deny it.

“Yes, it is.”

“Wow, is this a relationship? I also saw an aspiring hero who got a job while supervising the exam.”

“Did you see me?”

Just in time, the waiter brought the drinks we ordered.

“Excuse me, sir. The drink you ordered has arrived.”

Coffee with whipped cream was placed in front of me, and strawberry smoothie was placed in front of Beatrice. Beatrice took a sip of the strawberry smoothie and said whether he was thirsty or he just wanted to eat it.

“Yes. I was personally curious after seeing it. I used to handle various weapons, have you ever experienced it before?”

Oh, is that what you’re talking about?

It seems that I misunderstood the fact that I used my privileges to train other aspiring heroes for my skills. Now I think I understand why you wanted to talk to me.

‘I know what the reason is.’

Beatrice likes to raise talented people. She said that the knights that she is the commander of her knights only have apprentice knights that she personally selected, which is double that of other knights.

‘My perk is to handle any weapon at a proficient level.’

Even a single weapon is as difficult to handle as its own limbs. However, as the aspiring hero showed above-average skill in any weapon, he had no choice but to be interested. Maybe he mistook me for the weapon master’s lumber.

I shook my head at Beatrice’s words.

“No. It’s my first time. I’ve worked with a little sword.”

“But you fight so well?”

“···Thank you for the compliment.”

Beatrice thought about it for a moment, then asked carefully, fearing that I might offend.

“Are you aspiring heroic heroes, do you have any plans to use weapons other than guns? In my personal opinion, I don’t think they have the skills to be in class B.”

“…a lot.”

“Oh, but why do you have to use a gun?”

“Because I have lower stats than others. So I didn’t have a choice.”

Beatrice let out a sigh of understanding. I slowly spoke her words to her with her sad expression on her face.

Now that’s the gist.

“I, Beatrice-sama.”

“…I’m sorry for being so direct, but could you please make me a disciple?”

Then Beatrice answered immediately with a perplexed expression.

“Um, I’m sorry. That seems a bit difficult. I’m an instructor, so it’s against fairness.”

That’s right. But that’s not right.

If I had seen a talented person I really coveted, I would have made him a disciple, even if it was a secret, regardless of his status.

‘but. There’s no way I’m going to make you a disciple at first just because I talked a little in front of you.’

Sensitivity has only risen a little now.

If I continue to show my good side and increase my favorability, Beatrice’s thoughts will change, but I didn’t say this without thinking.

I stirred the whipped cream in front of me with a straw. The cream mixed into the coffee little by little. After a moment of uncomfortable silence, he opened his mouth again.

“Beatrice-sama. I have a reason to be strong.”

“what is that?”

“…I have to take revenge on my parents.”

revenge. Hearing those words, Beatrice’s face slowly hardened.

“Vengeance, yo…?”

“Yeah, my parents passed away.”

“…I’m sorry to ask about the painful part, but do you know who the aspiring hero is?”

He nodded softly at the question. So, now this is confirmed.

“… ‘Drakan’.”

When Beatrice heard the name, it seemed that nothing had changed on the surface. But no. Beatrice slowly raised her hands on the table.

It was a sign that I was nervous about my story.

“…It’s Drakhan, is that the name Drakhan?”

“Yes. This is the name of the person who killed my parents.”

It’s not something I said casually.

‘You’re right.’

The area where Drakan appears is near the ‘gate’. This is because the wizards dispatched from the tower are going to investigate the gate. To hunt the wizard, Drakhan is waiting for them near the gate.

‘And Seo Ji-han’s parents’

. . . was caught in the gate and died. When I looked at Seo Ji-han’s record, there was no further mention. So, only I could create a detailed story.

‘Why didn’t you tell me, I can somehow excuse you.’

Soon, Beatrice nodded, as I expected.

“…I understand what you mean. Unless you know the plight of the aspiring hero, you can’t ignore it.”

“thank you···!”

“Instead, there are conditions.”

Beatrice said firmly, meaning that she could not yield any more than this.

“First, you must pass my exam. To receive my education, you must have basic qualifications. Second, if you pass the exam, you are not a student, but just a little bit of attitude. Is this possible. Is this okay?”

“Yes. Good.”

Beatrice’s joy in meeting an aspiring hero who took her as a role model quickly cooled her heart. Dracan. It’s been almost ten years since I heard that name. I hope to hear from you again here.

‘Drakan Beatrice’.

It’s his brother’s name. It was once the proud ‘Untitled’ of the Beatrice family, but it was eroded and disappeared while climbing to the top of the tower. He killed the wizards sent by the tower to get rid of him.

Beatrice vividly remembers her childhood. He asked if he was hiding Drakan, and there was pressure from other floors and checks from other powerful people even from the 7th floor imperial family.

Unable to overcome the stress, her mother died and her father became weak.

Mika Beatrice was less talented than Drakhan, but she was able to get the title of ‘Weapon Master’ by somehow improving her skills by experiencing them. She and she took the positions of the prince’s escort knight and knight leader.

Mica Beatrice looked at the aspiring hero who called herself a role model with a complicated face.

‘At least….’

Seo-han. What would my attitude be if I found out that it was my brother who killed the parents of this aspiring hero?

Beatrice went to the training ground with Seo Ji-han without showing any bitterness. Probably because it was a trial period, the number of aspiring heroes who were always crowded was extremely rare.

Beatrice and Seo Ji-han headed to a place where there were no people at all. It was a large dungeon, but there was no one there and it seemed as if they had chartered it.

“Then shall I take out the weapon? Or shall we use the weapon we have?”

Beatrice has a personal subspace. Like the title of Weapon Master, various types of weapons were prepared in it.

Seo-han took out the engine blade he had and held it.

“That’s enough. But how’s the test?”

“Think there is an enemy in front of you and just swing it.”

Then, Seo Ji-han gave a sudden look of bewilderment. He looked worried about whether it was possible to prove it. Beatrice pounded her chest as if to be relieved.

“Don’t worry. That’s what you’ll find out.”

Is that a real talent, or is it a skill you learned a little bit quickly that will get in the way? Beatrice could tell by looking at it.

Seo Ji-han still had a bewildered expression on her face, but immediately took a stance and swung her sword. …and what he saw was far more disappointing than expected.

The lower body and the upper body wielding the sword play separately. It was literally beginner level.

‘It’s so different from the previous exam…’

The difference is so great that I wonder if what I saw was an illusion. Beatrice watched a little more, but soon smiled bitterly at her sloppy appearance and spoke cautiously.

“I’m sorry. Aspiring hero. As you know, the test is…”

Then Seo Ji-han stopped talking and said.

“Can’t you compete with me other than this?”

“Really, that’s all you need. I won’t bother you any more.”

Seo Ji-han made a desperate expression. there were sometimes There are times when you don’t admit it and ask for more.

Beatrice knew, from experience, how to get things done quickly.

‘Because you can do whatever you want.’

Beatrice nodded and took out her sword from the subspace.

Then Seo Ji-han looked at Beatrice with a confident look, unlike before. Soon Beatrice realized that something had changed in her.

‘uh···?’

For some reason, Seo Ji-han’s attitude has changed noticeably.

It was the look of an expert.
