In the academy's dormitory area, one room was covered in sword marks.
This isn't a house; it's clearly dilapidated, the kind that looks like it would collapse at the slightest touch.
However, this also shows that the student must be a sword fanatic!
The sturdy house built by the elementalists bore countless deep sword marks, while others decorated it with a focus on aesthetics in just three days.
This guy is something else; it's obvious he's spent the last three days practicing swordsmanship.
He even practiced swordsmanship in his own house.
Vicky thought about it and realized that she was, after all, the dean of an academy, so she should do something about it! In case the buildings in the academy collapsed inexplicably during a heavy rain.
The dean stood proudly on the side of the school path and shouted into the room, "Come out here, you sir!"
The sound was a bit loud, and the students nearby came over one by one.
They felt it was very lively, and just as classes were about to begin, the dean unleashed his power.
This was a rare sight, so much so that some students were considering skipping class.
That's how the universities in the world of Gus are: everything is negotiable; as long as you pass the final exam, everything is fine; otherwise, all is lost.
Dean Vicky controlled all assessments, including the final exams.
There were indeed people in the inner room.
A resolute young man dressed in simple swordsman's clothes emerged. He was several years younger than Ron, around twelve years old, just the right age to enroll in the advanced studies academy.
The young knight from Sandy Territory, due to the decline of his knightly family, was exempt from attending the free five-year magic and martial arts academy.
There are no children who have yet received a full five years of free education; schools in various regions have only been open for a few years.
Vicky noticed the claw mark on his face; he must be a ruthless fellow!
In the Underdark, Vicky would normally ignore someone like that, but now, she's the Dean.
"Tell me, Dean, what happened to your college buildings?"
The boy's voice carried a strong sense of determination; despite his young age, he spoke like an adult, just like someone else.
He replied, "Reporting to the Dean, I have three days, and I'm restricted from going to the academy's training grounds. I can only help with the academy's modifications... I'm just following the academy's rules!"
"Yes, it is the academy's rule, but as the dean, when you are facing me, I am the rule."
"Listen carefully, fix it properly. If there's not enough clay, get the earth magic students to help!"
Vicky, observing his reaction, said, "What, you're still not convinced?"
"Dean, I dare not."
"What do you mean you wouldn't dare? I can tell you you are... Tell me, what's your name?"
"My name is Nick, the lord's future valiant knight. The spirit of chivalry is with Nick!"
"I'm asking for your name, what nonsense! Come with me. With such arrogance, let me see what you're capable of."
"..."
This is going to be interesting.
Seeing Dean Vicky leading Nick to the practice field, the nearby students were certain of their intention to skip class.
"Let's go take a look."
...
A practice field at the academy.
A large plaza where the magic circle for the training grounds can be activated as needed.
At this moment, Dean Vicky was easily confronting Cadet Nick.
"Make your move! If you can hit me, the dean, you can do whatever you want with your academy residence from now on!"
"I'm sorry, Dean."
Judging from Dean Vicky's age, she doesn't seem too old. Nick can easily defeat some adults, so what's there to be afraid of? Let's go!
With fire element at his side and fire-based combat skills, activating a combat skill brings a warm sensation to his entire body.
However, Vicky secretly shook her head, realizing that they were far inferior to the participants in the mainland exchange competition back then.
The little sword fanatic at Sandy Academy seems to lack a master mentor. I'll go back and see if any of the academy's teachers are suitable. As for Vicky…
Unlike most swordsmen on the mainland.
She is a rare swordsman.
The Vampire Lord's spatial ring, blood-red in color, is as eerie as he is.
As she dodged Nick's attack, Vicky drew her own bone knife.
Although she habitually took out her bone knife, Vicky never used it.
The moves passed quickly, leaving many sword marks on the training ground, but Nick couldn't even force Vicky to leave the area within five meters, let alone touch her.
So strong!
This is the Dean of Sandy Academy.
With the sword in hand, its cold gleam reflected on Nick's face, he was ready to fight.
One skill: Steel and Fire Blade!
The dwarf-made steel sword was ablaze, and his entire body was ablaze with red light as he used combat techniques that pushed his physical limits.
At twelve years old, Nico, a hereditary knight, felt his throat was very dry!
The sword was drawn, dust rose, and firelight dazzled the eyes.
There was a slightly deeper footprint in the original spot.
when!
In the end, the bone knife was swung once!
Vicky smiled quietly.
"Little guy, you don't need to push yourself so hard!"
"Are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"
"No way! Dean, don't call me little guy, I'm Knight Nick!"
"Oh, really? Little knight!"
What an innocent little fellow! Nick's face, already flushed from his combat skills, turned even redder after being slightly amused.
Unlike someone who used vampire charm back then, she still put on an act... At the moment of the final sword strike, her eyes remained calm and unwavering on the field.
At such a young age, he already seems like a seasoned swordsman, not at all as adorable as he was before the competition.
The old swordsman's all-out attack will surely decide the outcome...
...
Why did I think of that guy again? I won't say it's because I keep thinking about him for no reason, and I feel resentful, which is why I wanted to find him.
I just happened to hear the news and came to help! That's all!
For a moment, Nick was stunned, then muttered to himself... A good opportunity!
Water-based movement technique, Water Instantaneous Movement.
A skillful movement technique, cleverly shifting to an excellent angle, or in more technical terms, a blind spot.
'Success!'
when!
Another sword strike!
"How is that possible?" Twelve-year-old Nico had a string of question marks on his forehead.
Future Vision, trained by his elders for many years, instinctively strikes with a bone knife—an inexplicable and difficult-to-explain action—but he simply blocked it.
Sometimes, the feeling of a sword or a knife doesn't need a reason.
Vicky sensed a slight loss in her mental strength, realizing that she had inexplicably used her innate ability.
After the attack, Vicky retreated.
"Little knight, although you didn't manage to touch me, you forced me to draw my sword. Now I won't care about your lodgings anymore."
"However, take my advice and fix it! You'll suffer after the heavy rain."
After finishing her speech, Vicky left amidst the stunned expressions of the students present.
The audience didn't understand either.
How did the dean react to the final blow?
"The dean is acting!"
"That must be it!"
"The dean is amazing! It turns out he's never been giving it his all!"
"Of course, don't you think about it? The Dean is someone who has fought against the Lord among the younger generation."
"My lord, who is that...?"
"..."
The local trainees were praising the lord again, and Ron was definitely going to give them a good talking-to. He told them to keep a low profile, okay? They wanted to disappear into the shadows! But these guys were all giving him away!
Vicky had already left, leaving only the hereditary knight Nick standing there in a daze.
