Chapter 89 : Sword of Oath

TL:SummerPeanut

====================================

May 1, 2030.

It has been about two weeks since the fierce battle with Ryner and Bram.

Bram woke up the day after the fight.

But as soon as he woke up, he fell into a long sleep again.

The curse must have been very strong.

The next time he woke up was a week later.

However, he went back to sleep again soon and woke up again briefly.

It was only yesterday, on April 30, that he was able to speak properly.

First of all, we decided to have the two of them talk it out.

However, it’s quite scary to leave only two of them so I’m the only one present.

And I'm on good terms with the two of them, having exchanged sword fights with them.

After a short discussion between Ryner and Bram, Bram, who had heard a lot of things from Ryner, said to me

"Thank you very much. I will repay you this favor for the rest of my life.”

With that, Ryner too said

“I will also serve Sir Mars. I will serve as your sword against all your enemies!”

I had honestly been waiting for these words.

I was waiting for these words because of Leena.

If I let Leena enter this school, there would be no one to protect her for three years after I graduate.

But if these two would serve me, I thought they would at least be faithful to protect Leena when I request them to do so.

By the way, Bram's status is like this.

Name: Bram Chest

Title: -

Status: Human race, commoner

Condition: Good

Age: 32 years old

Level: 51

HP: 52/52

MP: 213/213

Muscle Strength: 21

Agility: 31

Magic: 60

Dexterity: 52

Durability: 12

Luck: 1

Unique Ability: Spatial Magic (Lv3/G)

Special Ability: Swordsmanship (Lv5/D)

Special Ability: Earth Magic(Lv4/D)

When I saw this status, I am of the opinion that the status is quite low for a level 51...

This may be normal for the 5th place in the S class 18 years ago...... and I've never known that skills could increase to level 3 despite having talent at G.

I guess talent only affects the ease of raising the level and not the upper limit after all.

I was also taught in the classroom that talent never goes up.

I think that's why Clarice and I are special.

I in particular can easily increase my talent level. I think this is thanks to Innate Talent].

What I'm most interested in is the Unique Ability] Spatial Magic...... Bram is also a reincarnated person......

And then an unexpected trophy arrives to me from Bram.

“Sir Mars, actually, inside my Spatial Magic storage, there is a sword that you might be able to use.”

“Let me see."

Bram is conversing with me completely as his master.

I'm not asking him to correct his language either.

Why? Because I thought that if I behaved like his master, Bram would not commit suicide. To be honest though, I don't like it when people talk like this.

But if this is going to keep him alive, there's no choice but to continue as is.

Bram made a sword appear from the void.

"Oh... This is...awesome..."

The sword that Bram brought out of space had a slightly golden coloration.

Name: Thunder Sword

Attack: 24

Special: Agility +1, Magic +2

Value: B+

Details: -

The user will always be electrocuted without lightning resistance. Enchanting the sword with Lightning magic will increase its attack power.

Finally, a weapon that can be said to be exclusively for me! And it's pretty strong too!

“I was wondering if Sir Mars would be able to equip it......what do you think?"

He said that so I picked up the Thunder Sword.

It easily fits in my hand and, perhaps recognizing me as the owner, it shone with golden light for a moment before fading again.

“Bram. Thank you. This is the sword I've been looking for.”

Bram is also pleased that I was able to equip it.

It seems that Bram had been thinking about throwing it away because it electrocuted him every time he held it but he thought it was a very good and valuable piece of equipment and had been storing it in his space for a long time.

This might have made me as strong as between average to high-class B-rank adventurer.

Name: Mars Bryant

Title: Thunder God / Wind King / Goblin Butcherer

Status: Human race, second son of Count Bryant

Condition: Good

Age: 10 years old

Special Ability: Wind Magic(Lv9/A)

Special ability: Sacred magic (Lv6/B)

The status had increased even though my level had not increased.

Obviously, since I didn't defeat any magic beasts or people, my level shouldn't have gone up.

My statuses all exceeded 50, and the level of Lightning magic and Holy magic had also risen.

I expected my swordsmanship level to increase but it has not.

Well, it took me a very long time to get my Wind magic level up from 8 to 9, so I guess swordsmanship won't go up that easily either......

“All right, let's go then."

I said to them and they both nodded and followed me.

The three of us went to the principal's office where Duke of Regan is, and we entered after knocking on the door. We saw Duke of Regan and Sasha waiting Duke of Regan's eyes were already filled with tears.

The moment Duke of Regan saw Ryner and Bram, she cried.

"I'm glad you are safe. And I'm sorry for the pain you’ve been through."

She bowed her head to us.

Lately, Duke of Regan has been crying a lot ......

“Now then, the three of you may speak.”

“You can stay too, Mars."

Duke of Regan advised so but I’m sure the three of them will have a lot to talk about.

I'm fine with it as long as I get to hear about Joseph and Johan later.

Duke of Regan told me in advance about the handling of Ryner and Bram’s case.

Naturally(?), it was biased towards Ryner and Bram.

And I have other things I have to do first and foremost.

“No, I hope we can talk about that later.”

With that, I left the principal's office and headed for the hidden passageway to the elf statue.

The reason why I came here is that the hidden passageway is being destroyed by Earth magic, mainly by, glasses senior, the vice president of the student council.

They decided to block the path because this hidden passage is dangerous for the Lister Empire School.

But I'm not supposed to be able to use Earth magic.

That's why I'm secretly trying to dig this place during this classroom lesson.

I'm lying on the grass near the hidden passageway, using Earth magic until my MP is nearly depleted.

I'm not slacking off, okay? I'm just resting after using a little too much MP, okay?

As I was lying on my back, a person came into my view.

I voiced out the color that jumped out at me.

“......white......”

I could see what was in her skirt so I said it unconsciously.

The woman in the white pants crouched down close to me...... you could have sat down but that way of crouching is......deliberate, isn't it?

“You have four fiancées and you still don't think that’s enough?"

The woman......the glasses senior, vice president of the student council, said ridiculously as she checked where I was looking.

"I-I'm sorry, senior glasses. It just came to my line of sight so I accidentally blurted out. I didn't mean to offend you.”

“Senior glasses? Do you always call me that?”

The glasses senior stared at me with a suspicious look on her face.

I was so surprised that I just said the nickname I had always called her in my mind.

“Y-yes… I thought you looked good in those red-rimmed glasses.”

When I open up and tell the truth, the glasses senior smiled broadly.

“So you have a glasses fetish, I see. When this fact gets out, I’m afraid most of the girls in this school will start wearing glasses."

She laughed and patted me on the back.

No, at my age, even a little body touch is enough to make me feel bothered...

“I'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind?"

The glasses senior suddenly asked in a serious tone.

“Of course, if I know."

“What are you doing here, Mars? No, what were you doing before you were lying here?"

"I was a little bothered about the hidden passageway...... I thought I would have interrupted glasses seniors’ group if I come here when you were working so I sneaked over to check on the progress. After all, I feel uneasy since this place is connected to the outside...... is there anything wrong with that?"

“Recently, I felt the progress of the work with this hidden passageway is weird once in a while. It should have progressed much faster, I wonder why that’s the case.”

The glasses senior looked me in the face...... maybe she's suspicious of me?

“Senior glasses, this is the first time I came here so I don't know anything about the progress but it looks like you are managing it properly. I think it will be completed in less than a month?”

It is no longer completely usable as a passageway.

Now is just the question of feeling on whether this passageway should be properly sealed or not.

"From what I've seen, it's going to take another month and a half. ......well, that's fine. I'll cut to the chase. Could you have a mock battle with us ‘Red Lotus’?”

“A mock battle? Why?"

“Didn't Ike say it the other day? Even if all of us in the ‘Red Lotus’ were to go against you, we wouldn't be able to beat a single Mars. I just wanted to confirm that. You might think I'm being childish but there’s no denying that I'm a little frustrated.”

When I was wondering about it, the glasses senior girl said something outrageous.

“Do you want the four of them to know that you were looking at my underpants?”

“Understood. I'll choose the mock fight.”

That was an accident......or did she show it on purpose just for this?

“So can we wait until after our nomination quest is over? Probably after June. I'll let you know when it's decided.”

After saying that, the glasses senior left me.

Hm? What about the glasses senior’s class?

I also returned to the classroom after I had completely lost sight of that glasses senior.

When I returned to the classroom, the morning classroom lesson was just coming to an end.

After lunch, Duke of Regan and Bram came to the magic class.

Apparently, Bram had also been made assistant teacher for S class.

And he will be going to teach us both magic and martial arts.

To be honest, Ryner's martial arts are not suitable for Karen and Minerva.

He is good at teaching them but Ryner's martial arts are techniques for defeating enemies.

For Karen and Minerva, martial arts are more for them to avoid enemy attacks so this arrangement is more appropriate in terms of live combat.

But Dominic, it's the opposite.

Although he can use magic, he uses it only to make the most of his sword.

His style is not to use magic to defeat his enemies so it is more practical in terms of live combat for him to practice his way of using magic in addition to how Bram uses his sword.

In no time at all, the magic class passed and it is time for martial arts class.

Ryner came into the classroom and lined up with Bram.

Ryner's looked much more invigorated than ever.

“From today onwards, I and Teacher Bram will instruct you in this class. I'm going to whip you guys up stricter than ever, so prepare yourself!”

The class, which suddenly started with Ryner's spartan declaration, was truly a hellish experience.

However, Ryner seemed to be very lively.

It was the first time Ryner had shown such face ever since coming to this school.

Drops of sweat fell from Ryner's and Bram's eyes.
