I Became an Academy Fraudster

Episode 53

Jung Ha-yeon is waving from the front seat of the auditorium.

“Jiyoon! Come here quickly.”

“…Yes.”

“I got the front seat here.”

Cha Ji-yoon went to Jeong Ha-yeon’s side and sat down.

A banner reading [Radeon vs. Nam Do-yoon ‘Swordsmanship Battle’] Was hung on the podium of the auditorium.

It wasn’t long before Radeon and Nam Do-yoon came to the podium.

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at Radeon.

In his hand was a dagger.

Jeong Ha-yeon smiled.

As expected, Radeon has no intention of dealing with Nam Do-yoon seriously.

Well, of course.

If Radeon was serious about Nam Do-yoon, who had only been learning swordsmanship for a week, that would be a strange word.

“….It shouldn’t be like that.”

Cha Ji-yoon tilted her head.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“…Radeon holding a dagger is a great handshake.”

Jiyoon Cha said.

“Why do you mean a handshake? Jiyoon? If it was Radeon, you would be able to overwhelm Nam Do-yoon without difficulty even with a dagger?”

Cha Ji-yoon shook his head and said.

“… Radeon is not an easy opponent to deal with with a dagger. Nam Do-yoon.”

“…?”

It was something Jeong Ha-yeon couldn’t understand.

Even if you pick up a dagger, Radeon will never lose.

That moment.

“Then wouldn’t it be better to wear a longsword around your waist?”

Nam Doyoon said.

“..That will never happen.”

“You said that. I’ll pick up a longsword if I think you’re worthy. I don’t have a long sword, so how are you going to carry it?”

“…Yes. I’ll do whatever you want.”

Saying that, Radeon inserted a longsword into his waist.

Jeong Ha-yeon tilted her head.

Are you arrogant?

Or is it just a bluff?

Do you really think Radeon will pull out the longsword?

Against himself who had only been learning swordsmanship for a week.

“Okay then, everyone go back.”

Alvin said.

“Start!”

At the same time as that voice, Radeon spurred his seat and left.

When Radeon spurred his seat and leaped towards Namdo Yoon.

Nam Doyoon’s posture while holding the sword was poor.

He was hesitant, unable to do this or that.

He saw that there was no way he could avoid Radeon’s dagger flying toward Namdoyun’s neck.

But.

“!!!”

Jung Ha-yeon’s eyes went wide.

In an instant, the long sword Nam Do-yoon held up blocked the dagger.

Unexpectedly, the reaction speed was so fast.

It was unbelievably fast for Nam Doyoon’s movements.

This time, Doyoon Nam took a leap towards Radeon.

He swung his longsword at Radeon’s face.

In response, Radeon began to raise his dagger towards his face with incredible speed.

Just like that, Radeon’s dagger was just before Nam Do-yoon’s long sword.

Namdo Yoon rotated his body and turned the sword’s trajectory in an instant.

His sword flew aiming for the right rib of ‘Radeon’.

Teeing-

Nam Doyoon’s attack was also blocked without a hitch.

However, a sigh escaped Jeong Ha-yeon’s lips.

“….I can’t believe it.”

Radeon took out a long sword to block Nam Do-yoon’s long sword.

The longsword was the weapon he took out when he really wanted to be serious.

Radeon frowned.

Seeing that, Cha Ji-yoon smiled.

“…As expected”

As if it was natural for this to happen, she smiled.

Jung Ha-yeon looked blankly at Cha Ji-yoon.

“Jiyoon.”

“… Huh?”

“Did you know it would end like this?”

“..I told you. Nam Do-yoon is not easy enough for Radeon to fight with a dagger.”

“……”

Jeong Ha-yeon made a suspicious expression.

Cha Ji-yoon already knew this?

How the hell?

“Jiyoon.”

“…Yes.”

“Then you’re saying that Radeon will lose?”

It was an unimaginable scene for Jeong Ha-yeon.

“…No. That would not be it.”

Cha Ji-yoon also denied that statement.

“Isn’t that right?”

“…Yes. Even if that person is an out-of-standard existence, there is no way you can beat Radeon purely with ‘swordsmanship’. I don’t know if I can use mana.”

“…..”

“…You’ve only been holding the sword for a week, so you probably don’t have much experience in combat.”

Cha Ji-yoon nodded his head in agreement.

Then she stopped nodding her head.

Then he continued talking.

“…No, I might be able to win.”

“What do you mean?”

“…If you use the items obtained from the auction house then.”

There was something that passed through Cha Ji-yoon’s mind.

The old book of ‘Count Asura’ that he obtained from the same auction house and gave it to Nam Do-yoon.

If you use that, you’ll probably be able to win that match as well.

But, why would that be?

There is no reason to win this match at the expense of your lifespan.

“Huh? The item you got from the auction at that time?”

Jeong Ha-yeon said.

“…Ah. Nothing.”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked up at the podium in the auditorium.

Her expression began to harden.

Obviously, as long as Radeon pulled out the longsword, Nam Do-yoon shouldn’t have been Radeon’s opponent.

However,

Chaeng-

Chaeng-

Chaeng-

Nam Doyoon and Radeon were exchanging swords equally.

It was to the point that no one could say that it was an advantage.

Jung Ha-yeon’s expression gradually began to show tension.

Isn’t Radeon really losing?

No way. No way.

“Huh-“

Radeon stepped back to widen the distance with Nam Doyoon.

In an instant, his expression turned serious.

From now on, it meant that I would really deal with it properly.

Jung Ha-yeon let out a sigh of relief.

As long as he decided that he would deal with her seriously.

There is absolutely no chance that Nam Do-yoon will win.

“Yes. That’s right.”

It was only because Radeon underestimated Nam Do-yoon so far.

If you take it seriously, it is clear that Nam Do-yoon will no longer be an opponent.

Know-

Radeon kicked off the ground again and headed for Nam Do-yoon.

The speed was much faster than before.

Radeon’s longsword was flying toward Nam Do-yoon’s face at an incredibly fast speed.

However,

“!!!”

That attack was also blocked by Nam Doyoon’s longsword.

Nam Do-yoon didn’t look tired at all even after blocking the attack.

Chaeng-

Chaeng-

Chaeng-

And then Radeon and Nam Do-yoon started exchanging sums.

Radeon’s expression was more serious than ever.

However, Radeon’s swordsmanship was unable to pierce Nam Do-yoon.

No, on the contrary, I started to see Radeon being pushed back little by little.

Her swordsmanship, which she thought was the most beautiful, was crumbling little by little.

Jeong Ha-yeon chewed her lips carefully.

You’re not really losing, are you?

No. It can’t be.

There’s no way Radeon’s swordsmanship will collapse.

However, Radeon’s swordsmanship could not maintain its stance little by little and was collapsing.

In comparison, Nam Doyoon’s swordsmanship was not broken at all.

It could be said that his swordsmanship was close to perfect.

Jeong Ha-yeon couldn’t tell if this was real or a dream.

Jeong Ha-yeon pinched her cheek hard.

However, this was not her dream.

I felt a tingling pain in her cheek.

Now this was a reality.

And then, in an instant.

Suddenly, Nam Do-yoon inserted a long sword into his waist.

Then Radeon leapt towards him.

Radeon’s longsword started flying towards Nam Doyoon’s head.

It was not a distance Nam Doyoon could avoid.

Jeong Ha-yeon was sure of Radeon’s victory there.

That moment.

Wedge-

At the same time as the sound of strong wind blowing, the wind hit Radeon.

At the same time, Radeon fell.

“!!!”

Jeong Ha-yeon’s eyes were colored with astonishment.

What happened?

“….”

Jeong Ha-yeon couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

She didn’t know.

The reason why Radeon fell in the end.

“I think the teacher made a mistake. Yes?”

Nam Doyoon said to the fallen Radeon.

Jeong Ha-yeon nodded her head.

As expected, was it a coincidence that the wind happened?

Then we’ll have a rematch.

She let out a sigh of relief.

However, Radeon sided with Doyoon Nam.

Then he said.

“No. The winner is ‘Nam Do-yoon’. It’s my complete defeat.”

“….”

Jeong Ha-yeon blankly stared at the scene.

If Radeon was knocked down by an accidental wind just a while ago, Radeon would never admit defeat like that.

That means that the wind that just came into existence was made by Nam Do-yoon.

That too with swordsmanship.

“……”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked blankly at Radeon.

Did Radeon really lose?

The Radeon I knew?

Really? Is this really real?

Her swordsmanship, which she thought was the most beautiful, was ruthlessly destroyed today.

For that man who only studied for a week.

It felt like everything she knew was being denied.

“..Jiyoon.”

“… Huh?”

From noble mtl dot com

“..I’m a little sick today, so I’ll go in first.”

After those words, Jeong Ha-yeon stood up from her seat.

Jeong Ha-yeon chewed her lips carefully.

How much will Nam Do-yoon mock me?

He boasted that he couldn’t beat Radeon.

How funny it must have been in his eyes.

I used to say that.

And I remembered the promise I made with him.

Radeon…

Can I really give up Radeon?

I definitely made an appointment with him.

He even threatened to drop out of the academy.

It is a promise that must be kept.

That’s right.

But…

***

It’s a dark night after the sun goes down.

I am sitting on a park bench.

Now the time has come

I picked up my phone and looked at my watch.

[PM 12:05]

The appointment time was 12 o’clock, but it’s already been over 5 minutes.

When is he coming?

Dubuck-

Dubuck-

I heard footsteps in the distance.

I turned my gaze to that direction.

It was Jeong Ha-yeon.

She looked at me and sighed.

She immediately sat down on the bench.

With a fairly wide distance between me.

“…I had a good swordsmanship match today.”

Her voice was mixed with a bit of crying.

I think he came out of the house after crying a bit.

“..Uh.”

“..Just in case”

“What is it?”

“Is it true that you started holding a sword a week ago?”

“Of course. You saw it too. The one I was swinging the sword a week ago.”

“…That’s it… ”

“Wouldn’t you know if you saw the way I was swinging my sword at that time? That’s really stupid. You can’t do that with acting.”

“..Then let’s ask one question.”

“Uh.”

“Did you know in advance that you had the talent to beat Radeon in a week?”

“Of course not?”

“…Yes. I see After all, there are people who have truly ridiculous talents.”

Her expression looked depressed.

Then she continued.

“..Then I must have looked pretty funny?”

“What?”

“When I told you to give up that you would never beat Radeon. That must have been pretty funny.”

She bowed her head.

She felt as if she was blaming herself.

“No. Not at all?”

“…?”

She looked at me with her questioning expression.

“Even if it were me, I would have reacted like you. Somehow, a kid who has never heard of a sword says he’s sparring with Radeon.”

“….”

“Then now about the bet we made.”

“….”

Upon hearing her words, her expression began to harden in an instant.

She seemed uneasy as she kept wiggling her hands.

Maybe it’s because I’m telling you to keep your promise to give up Radeon.

However, I have no intention of forcing it on her.

As for the human mind, the more you try to force yourself to forget it, the more you think about it.

It’s best to just let it weather naturally over time.

Jeong Han-yeon said.

“..You mean give up Radeon? That… I’ve been thinking about it.”

“No. She doesn’t have to give up.”

“… Huh?”

She made a surprised expression.

“You don’t have to force yourself to give up Radeon.”

“…But, I promised to make a bet with you.”

“People’s minds don’t go their way.”

“…..”

Jung Ha-yeon looked at me blankly.

“So. I’ll wait.”

“..M..Mu… what?”

Jung Ha-yeon stuttered her words.

It’s a habit she comes out of when she’s embarrassed.

“I’ll just wait until you forget.”

In the end, time will tell.

She forgot Radeon.

“…..”

Hearing that, she blankly stared at me for a long time.

There was silence between us for about a minute.

“…Wait?”

“Uh. Whether it’s 1 year or 2 years. I’ll wait. That you forgot Radeon.”

“……”

Jeong Ha-yeon’s pupils began to fluctuate as if an earthquake had occurred.

“If I had done this, I think I would have fully understood my feelings. I’m leaving.”

I got up after saying that.

I am very tired today.

I’m going to go to the dormitory and get a good night’s sleep.
