Chapter 30
Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius
Episode 30
As soon as class was over, I saw Mahol moving quietly without anyone noticing.
Even though all my attention was on him, it was so secret that I could miss his movements for a moment.
I didnât do anything special. Even though he seemed to be moving normally, he looked blurry.
Seeing that I couldnât hear anything, not even breathing or footsteps, I realized that my thoughts were not wrong.
Even though Iâm concentrating this much, if I canât see it and Iâm caught by surprise while defenselessâ¦
itâs scary to even think about it.
âBut where are we going?â
Seeing that they were leaving as soon as class was over, it seemed like it was an important place that I had to rush to.
âyoung master.â
Just as I was contemplating whether to follow, Ellis came back.
She was the one who found out about Mahol.
She started talking to me at the same time.
âWould you like to follow me?â
I nodded at her words, as she sensed my thoughts just by looking at Mahol.
I didnât want to take any time to recruit talent.
I think I will feel at ease if I make it my own, even if only for a moment.
I followed Mahol. The place I ran to without even looking back was a garbage dump full of sewage and all kinds of trash.
Mahol entered a place so dirty that the smell made him nauseous, even though it was far away.
I found my way without any problem, as if I was used to it.
âWhy are you going in there?â
Ellis spoke to me as if that behavior was natural.
âThatâs his quarters.â
âwhat?â
My eyebrows furrowed.
Ellis doesnât lie to me or tell me anything inaccurate.
That means I really live there.
âIs it possible to live there?â
Even homeless people donât live there.
Although they say that you can sleep as long as you can avoid the rain and block the sun.
That went too far.
It was a place where people could not live.
It is wrong for people to live in a garbage dump.
In front of the garbage dump, I quietly stared at the spot where Mahol had entered.
âThis is a garbage dump, right? âNo matter how I look at it, it doesnât look like a place to stay.â
âyouâre right.â
I raised my hand and stroked my face.
I should have known by looking at his dirty face and clothes.
If I had known then, I wouldnât have ended it by just knocking out the group.
âNo matter how commoner he was, he would have been given proper accommodation.â
âThatâsâ¦â
When Ellis opened her mouth, Mahol came out from inside.
I called him out of joy and wanting to get him out of here as quickly as possible.
âMahol!â
âuhâ¦?â
Maholâs eyes opened wide when he saw me.
That face was full of wonder as to how I was here.
Before I approached him, I asked Ellis to get me some tea and snacks.
And that action was an excellent choice.
âIâm sorry. âI have nothing to give but this.â
He hands me water in a cracked teacup full of grime with dirt floating around in it.
When I came inside, the foul smell was even stronger.
Itâs surprising how casually he stays here.
It was so dirty everywhere that I couldnât even sit on the floor.
Everything here was so disgusting that no matter how delicious the food was, I couldnât eat it.
There was a bed in a very small space, and a girl was lying on it.
When she whined and tried to get up while looking at me, I told her to lie down and tapped her leg with my finger.
âSince when have you lived here?â
âAbout 3 or 3 yearsâ¦â
He was very tense and trembled every time I spoke.
3 yearsâ¦
If you stay here for that long, you will develop diseases that you never knew existed.
âHave you ever asked the teachers to move their accommodations?â
âI tried⦠but it didnât work. According to the school rules, I canât do thatâ¦â
Sighâ¦
I canât help but sigh.
Mahol reacted loudly to my every move and his sister looked up at me with eyes full of fear.
âLetâs move on first.â
âhuh?â
A question appears on his face at my words.
I told him to go to my dorm.
I didnât want to stay here even for one more second.
Even now, I was barely able to hold back my nausea.
Mahol hesitated.
I could see him wondering if he could follow me.
âI donât think itâs time to worry. âItâs better for you to get out of here, at least for your little brotherâs sake.â
ââ¦Iâll go.â
Mahol responds immediately to the mention of younger brother.
He showed the will to do anything for his younger brother.
I passed him and approached Maholâs younger brother.
She looks up at me.
When was the last time you washed it? Her face was sometimes swarthy and she smelled bad.
However, it wasnât so much that I couldnât bear it.
At least itâs better than the smell of a dumpster.
âExcuse me for a moment.â
I stretched out my hand and hugged her in my arms with the blanket.
ââ¦.â
He looked at me with a surprised face, as if he didnât have the strength to scream.
âUhâ¦uhh.â
Mahol looks at me with a shocked face. I nodded to him and told him to come to the side.
âFollow me.â
âUh huh.â
As I left the dump, I ran into Ellis, who had just bought refreshments.
She quickly came out, looked at Maholâs younger brother in my arms, and Mahol was riding, and nodded slightly.
âI will guide you.â
Ellis stepped forward and I followed behind her.
âuh? âWhat is that?â
âIt looks like Raymond⦠Is this the first time youâve seen him in your arms?â
The surrounding attention was focused.
Mahol shrank further and his sister tried to cover her face with her hands.
However, because she was so weak that she couldnât even raise her hands properly, I pulled up the blanket and covered her face.
âWowâ¦â
I arrived at my private quarters, the largest in the academy.
Mahol and his sister looked around my dorm in a daze.
I said to Ellis as I took her to the bathroom and put her in the bathtub.
âWash me cleanly and put me in new clothes. And throw these away.â
âyes.â
When I came out of the bathroom, Mahol was staring at me blankly.
âwhy?â
âNo⦠thatâ¦â
Mahol hesitated, unable to speak properly.
I said with a small sigh at his timid behavior.
âFirst of all, Iâm sorry for doing this without saying anything, but it would be better for your younger brother if you cleaned up.â
âYeahâ¦â
âAnd when your sister comes out, you take a shower too.â
âYesâ¦â
He nodded.
No matter what I do, he seems to nod his head.
âAnd stay here from now on.â
ââ¦huh?â
âYou wouldnât want to spend time in a dumpster either. Oh, Iâm sorry for calling your accommodation a dump. Anyway, living in a place like that is so bad that even healthy people can get sick. Ellis will tell you where you will be staying. âIâll tell the vice principal, so donât worry.â
ââ¦.â
âokay?â
Mahol bites his lip. My clenched fist was shaking.
âWhy on earth are you doing this to me? What do you have to gain from me? âThereâs nothing I can do.â
âUmâ¦â
I looked down at him.
Itâs normal for him to not understand my actions.
The way he appears now is that he is an incompetent person with no talent or power.
When he thinks about it, he must be having a hard time wondering how he should accept my behavior like this when he canât do anything about it.
Unlike him who lived in a garbage dump, I was the son of a count.
âWhy am I curious about that? âIf you help me, just say thank you and accept it.â
âThatâsâ¦â
âAnd if you really want to hear the reason, I think itâs because I want to do it.â
ââ¦.â
âIf this isnât enough⦠you can think of it as because you need my henchman.â
Mahol kept his mouth shut.
He looked up at me with a confused face and pursed his lips.
I shrugged my shoulders at him.
***
I headed to the vice principalâs office with Ellis.
While hugging Maholâs younger brother, he had long since thrown away his soiled clothes and had taken a refreshing shower.
By now, Mahol and his younger brother must be having an in-depth conversation in the dorm.
Even if I wanted to move Mahol and his younger brotherâs dormitory, I needed permission from the vice principal.
Since they had mentioned the school rules even when Mahol asked them to move their accommodation, it was clear that they would not leave Maholâs group alone, as they moved their accommodation without saying anything.
So it was better to move first before catching the pod.
âYou didnât go somewhere else, right?â
âyes.â
And more than anything, I need to see the vice principalâs face right now.
âSo, youâre saying that the reason Mahol ended up living in the dump is because of the school principal?â
âyes. He even ordered other teachers to ignore anything that happened to him.â
Now I know why the teachers were able to bully Mahol as much as they wanted and why the teachers ignored Mahol even though they saw him being bullied.
âThis bastard, the vice-principalâ¦â
Since there was an order from the vice-principal, the teachers would have had no choice but to follow that order.
âThey say they have caught the teachersâ weaknesses. âIf there was no weakness, they added someone to create a weakness that didnât exist.â
Plus, I canât say I wonât do it because my weakness has been identified.
The moment you say you wonât do it, not only your life as a teacher but your personal life will be ruined.
Even if itâs dirty, I have no choice but to follow his words.
âAnd it is said that he directly told the highest-ranking students to harass him.â
Yeah, this was the biggest problem. The academyâs vice principal directly instigated the bullying.
Plus, the reason for doing that was funny.
âIt is said that he coveted his younger sister, Miss Raina.â
The vice principal saw Rainaâs appearance and wanted to make her his own.
I fell in love with Reina when I first entered school.
To be honest, Raina was beautiful.
When I removed the dirt that covered my face, I saw that she was so beautiful that most women had to cover their faces.
Selina had to come forward to cover up her beauty.
It was no wonder that the vice principal took a liking to her.
Even I was surprised to see her cleanly washed.
But the method was wrong. He ends up doing it because he has no way to make Raina his.
âYou are trying to destroy the surrounding environment and make it submit to you.â
Teachers shouldnât covet students, but whatâs more, they go to any lengths to make students their own.
Itâs so ridiculous that it makes me laugh.
âThe age difference is over 40 years.â
Raina was only 14 years old. The vice principal is fifty-four years old.
How can I view it positively since I harbored a desire for a child?
âIt is said that eating was also restricted. Two loaves of bread a day. âEven that bread has become hard after its expiration date.â
Ellisâ expression as she spoke was also not good.
They are young children.
Although Mahol was old enough to work, Raina was not.
This is the age where you should eat a lot and run around as much as you want.
But the vice-principal destroyed it because of his own desires.
âHow should I punish this bastard?â
Compared to the vice principal, the Iljin members were nothing.
They did it because the vice principal told them to do it in the first place.
Itâs hard to see the vice principal as a person anymore.
trash.
This guy is not good enough.
And I plan to punish him.
