(EP-51.2) Another Name Is Enrollment #4

051 – Another Name For War Is Enrollment #4

An hour later.

I got into a duel in the presence of a crowd.

During this unexpected situation, people who had completed their enrollment flocked to the site and formed an arena.

“Theo, you’re in a duel!? What the heII is going on!?”

Elga asked me about this situation. She frowned as I briefly explained what had just happened.

“If it’s according to the rules, I can’t fight for you… You have to figure this out yourself, will you be okay?”

Elga was worried about me.

“After all, you fight like shi†.”

“…….”

… I had to agree with that fact. Meanwhile, Aira was carefreely smiling as if she had nothing to worry about. She even sat languidly in a luxurious chair she brought from somewhere next to Elga.

“Elga, do you really think my Theo will lose?”

“No, I am thinking by common sense! What can he even do!?”

When Elga asked Aira such a question, Aira simply shook her head.

“Elga, you still have a long way to go. Theo is the smartest man after me. He can solve these kinds of problems easily!”

“…….”

Elga stopped talking. She knew very well that further conversation with her cousin was of no use.

“… Hey, Theo, is there really a way?”

“You should know that I don’t fight a losing battle. Well, of course, it won’t be ‘my’ fight.”

I then looked at the man in front of me, Efside.

He sneered at me while holding a bat full of nails and laughed.

“Again, this is a fair duel. No complaints, understood? Behind you, the Queen and Young Lady Marquis should be well aware.”

“It’s you who shouldn’t speak shi† later. You cowardly savage!”

“Heh heh, fine… So, where is your warrior? Or are you going to fight yourself~?”

“No. He should be here right about…”

I looked around.

My representative would stick out like a sore thumb no matter where he was placed.

Thud-.

Thud-.

It was then that I felt the earth ringing in my ears.

Turning my head, I saw a gigantic body moving in the distance.

“Ah, there you are!”

I raised my hand and signaled to my warrior. Seeing this, the giant approached me with a frown.

━Gorgor. Many work. Overtime. Too many. Almost late!

At the same time, many were greatly astonished.

━What the fųck is that!? Why is that thing coming over here!?

━Why is an ogre here!? It’s a man-eating monster!

People started panicking at the sudden appearance of a giant monster, an Ogre. It was understandable since ogres were monsters that could occupy a fortress with just their bodies.

To deal with an ogre alone, one would need to be a Sword Master or an Archmage of the 5th Rank or higher.

Of course, the cowardly and obscene savage Efside was neither a Sword Master nor an Archmage. He didn’t amount much to anything in the first place and just used cowardly tricks.

I knew it well, because I too was a coward!

Just then, Efside shouted in agitation.

“… This, fųck this! What is this!? Professor! Isn’t this cheating? Can you even bring monsters to the Temple!? I’m certain that right is limited only to Ark Officials!”

Hearing this, the ogre Gorgor laughed at him.

━I. Gorgor. Faculty hired! Teachers gave many work. Stable job. Salary. Not underpaid!

“… This, fųck this shi†!”

Efside’s eyes turned to me. Ahh, it was always pleasant to see the face of a smug and arrogant person be colored with surprise and bewilderment.

“You cowardly bas†ard! Dirty demon! This is a scam! This, this, this is unacceptable!”

You were blaming me now?

Shut the fųck up, fųcking ąsshole!

I had no sympathy for a punk like you!

“The duel is already over. If you admit defeat and scram, your brooch and plaques will be mine. You won’t be able to do anything this semester.”

“This pr¡ck….”

Efside looked around with anxious eyes.

Among the people that ‘made’ up the arena, there were less than 100 people with golden brooches.

After making eye contact with them, Efside trembled and sighed.

“Alright-. You little shi†. You think I haven’t killed monsters before? When I was in my hometown, I had dealt with four trolls at once!”

Efside tried igniting his fighting spirit.

Gorgor seemed quite surprised by that.

━Four trolls? You. Greater warrior than looks. I admit. But Gorgor fought stronger. I survived. And you’re weaker than Gorgor.

“Damned monster! Bring it on, bas†ard!”

Whoosh.

Efside rushed towards Gorgor with the nailed bat.

“Arrrr…!”

It was a powerful charge, not unlike a bull. If it had been me facing this, I would have fallen backwards in shock.

But Gorgor’s gigantic palm simply crushed Efside like a fly.

Thud-.

“Gueeek-!”

━Look. Told you.

The overwhelming physical difference.

━This result because slow brain. People. Learn from this.

It was a bit strange for an ogre, who was reputed to be dimwitted, to say something like that.

However, no one thought of protesting against the monster that had just crushed Efside with one hand.

━Did you see that…?

━A person got treated like some kind of bug….

━That arrogant Efside bas†ard had this coming!

At that moment, Aira laughed, as if the situation was very funny.

“How amusing. A man’s life just got snuffed out like a fly~.”

━No. Gorgor. Not kill. I promised. Instead. Body bones crushed.

Seureureu.

As Gorgor lifted his gigantic palm, Efside convulsed like a broken electronic toy.

“Ugh….”

He barely survived. But that was natural as Gorgor could even rip and kill a knight with his bare hands. At this time, I ripped off the ‘Tea Time’ lecture plaque from Efside’s waist and also took the brooch on his chest.

“You, you bi†ch…. This is what you were aiming for, provoking me like this….”

Interesting. I heard that Barbarians had tough vitality.

Seeing this, the rumors seemed to be true.

In my head, Efside got a plus one in life.

“You, did you plan this when you picked ‘Last and First’? That s†upid word chain game….. just to provoke me on purpose….”

What were you talking about? I was serious about it…

━I guess that’s what he’s been aiming all along!

━True, I was also a little confused when he suddenly chose ‘Last and First’. After all, we’re not kindergarteners.

━Word chain was indeed a bit too outlandish… So, it’s great that it was just meant to provoke Efside to a duel!

… I watched my serious attempt at winning through ‘Last and First’ being trampled on, yet had no choice but to swallow my tears and nod my head.

“Yes, ‘Last and First’ was just a trap and you fell for it! Otherwise, why would someone take a thing as silly as a word game seriously? I just wanted to p¡ss you off and trick you into a duel!”

With my confident cry, the surroundings exploded with murmurs.

━Oh my God, how many steps did he look ahead?

━Did Efside just got played by a Bronze Class? Is he really Bronze?

Hearing the murmurs, Efside spat out blood.

“Fųck… When you claimed to be ‘the’ infamous Demon Monk… I didn’t believe it…”

“Everyone says that. Also, when you steal from someone else, you should be prepared to lose what is yours. If you lose your brooch like this, will you be expelled from the Academy?”

“Geuiek….”

Efside fainted as he couldn’t stay conscious any longer. Honestly, I still wanted to give this bastard a firm kick.

Then again, he already got crushed by an ogre’s palm and was terribly mangled.

If I showed anything more provocative than this, Aira might awaken as the Blade Queen… Hence, I took off my robe and covered his body.

Seuk.

As a result, I was able to get the lectures and silver brooch that I wanted.

━Gorgor. Got credits. Take lecture. Will know a lot. And not get beaten.

In addition, Gorgor was able to take 12 credit lectures and another brooch from Efside.
