74-Episode 68: Sage, Pledge to Win All Wins




 The students of the Adventurer's School of the Villa Amst Kingdom Chapter had gathered in the auditorium.

 It's time for the regular morning meeting.
 They listen to the headmaster's talk and check the schedule inside and outside the school.
 If necessary, announcements are made about the magic experiments being studied on campus.

 Basically, it's a boring time.
 But this day was special.
 The head of the school, Heimdahl, announced that he was going to introduce a new instructor.
 The students rubbing their sleep-dazed eyes awoke at once.

'Rah, Lasell!

 A bare voice echoed through the auditorium.
 I recognized it right away.
 It's Cecil's voice.

 I glanced sideways at my friends as I took the stage.
 Naturally, Cecil, Rowan, and Sarasa were surprised.
 I raise the corners of my mouth as I look at the dumb faces of my friends.

 Eventually, I stood in front of the podium.

 My friends weren't the only ones who were stunned by the sight of me.
 There isn't a person in the school who doesn't already know my face.
 And that's the profession.

'Wait a minute! That guy--
Lacelle Singh Stark, right?
He did? Instructor?
You're gonna teach us?
You're kidding me! He's a [villager], right?
No matter how strong we are, [villagers] are going to teach us?

 Predictably, the complaints erupted.

 Oh dear.........
 It seems there are still people who judge people by their job skills alone, without looking back at their own abilities.
 It can't be helped.
 I'll make them understand.

 It was at that time that I was quietly building up my magic.

"Isn't this a good thing!

 The voices spread.
 I hear them, and it's the third class.
 A female student stands in the front row, arms crossed.
 It's President Vael.

''We all know the power of Lacel Singh Stark. He saved the realm from a royal crisis, represented our school and won a victory over the head of a military academy. He and the friends he raised are now even better than the third class students. No, maybe they've already surpassed the third class students.

 Still, objections erupted.
 There were not a few who called out against the crowd.

''Then let me ask you......... At that time, was there anyone who could have defeated the representative of the Military Academy if it was them.......who could have overwhelmed the [Mages (wizards)] who skillfully manipulated double activation, controlled fire-attributed magic like a giant snake, read the future and manipulated advanced magic at will?

 .......................

 It was quiet and still.

 Chairman Vael chuckled.

'Yeah. No one. And that was made possible by Lasser Singh Stark and his party.

 Then another voice was raised again.

'I'm all for it!'

 It was a girl in exotic clothing who raised her hand.
 It was Meira.
 She was surrounded by her adoring disciples, who were nodding their heads with their chins pulled back.

'Bo, me too!'

 Podium, who was at the side, also raised his voice.
 Then, one by one, they voiced their approval.

'That's good, Lasell.
Even though he's a [villager], his strength is real.
I'm rather looking forward to it.
'Oh..... I made a chick's first class student stronger than a military school representative.
Well, let's see how good you are.
Oh, I was for Lacelle all along.

 At once I leaned in my favor.
 In the end, they applauded and praised me and welcomed my appointment as an instructor.

 Haha.........

 This is something I didn't expect.
 But it's not a bad trend.
 In fact, it's a good thing.

 I swore an oath to my father, Luxol.

 I will prove that 【Villagers】 is an excellent profession.......

 In this world, there are people who are unhappy because they were born as 【Village People】.
 That depressed feeling gave birth to the [Revolutionary Candidate].
 If the [villager] named Lasser Singh Stark is recognized, maybe one day those prejudices will disappear.

 Just as the scene in front of us now is.


 ◆◇◆◆◆.


 Now..........
 Once the students had agreed, I greeted them again.
 I introduced myself briefly.
 Then I explained the significance of my becoming an instructor.

 Namely..........

It's to win the Kowloon Cup.

 Zach.........

 The students who had been listening in silence shuddered.
 The faces of the second and third class students, especially those who had experienced the Kowloon Cup the previous year, were drawn.
 They moved their throats and gulped, which could be seen from the stage.

''0 wins and 22 losses. That is our school's record in the Kowloon Cup. By the way, the highest ranking was the second place. We weren't even one step closer.

 It seems that there was a golden generation in the Villa Amst Kingdom Branch for a time.
 My father, Luxol, was one of them.
 Even so, they couldn't beat our school.

 That's how difficult it is to win the Kowloon Cup.

I know it is difficult," he said, "but I'm not going to talk about my dream. "I know it's difficult, but I'm not going to talk about dreams and I'm not going to say nice things about working hard for our goal,


 Absolutely. I'm going to win this school for sure...!


You all believed in me. They believed in me. So I need you to believe in me again. In Lasser Singh Stark.... And if we learn from Lacel Singh Stark, we can win. I want you to convince yourself of that.

 If I'm going to do it, all I'm thinking about is winning it all.

 In the history that Lacel Singh Stark spins, there are no two words for defeat.

 I will make them stronger.
 Stronger than we are now.... Far more than the students of our school! Strong!

That is all. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

 It was quiet again.
 All the students are casting their eyes at me on the stage.
 Some open their mouths sloppily and are stunned.
 But one by one.........
 The students' eyes lit up like lights in a city at night.

 Soon, applause rings out.

 What had been sparse soon became a thunderous applause.
 ''Let's do it!'' A voice rang out.
 Some stomped on the floor, motivating themselves.

 Softly, my hair swayed.
 Hot air rises in the air.
 The flag of the Kingdom of Vila Amst fluttered behind me.

 Everyone wants to make themselves strong.

 Hmm.........
 It's not a bad sight.
 I'm sure this is something to train for.

 I raised the corners of my mouth again.
