Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3)

Obviously, being so easily overpowered by Rachel had really upset her. shadow But if we’re being fair, Rachel was fourth-ranked in the Star Class at Joaquin Academy.

Unlike the students who murmured among themselves, I couldn’t say a word. airport Chloe, on the other hand, looked downcast. athlete Luckily, she seemed to have come back to herself, but her face remained somber, with a hint of sadness.

The Wolf Class, devastated by the hurricane that was Rachel.

To be honest, Chloe was more at fault for pulling out the knife first, but Rachel had provoked her into doing it, so it wasn’t easy to say who was really to blame.

And, as a member of the Saint of the Spear family, a line that only married powerful warriors to ensure a strong bloodline, her physical strength was probably among the highest at the academy.

That meant, out of 2,500 students, only three could have bested Rachel.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“Does Geom-Ma like big ones too?”

Chloe’s shoulders drooped in dejection. adapt Just as I was about to say something to comfort her because she looked so sad, she hesitated a moment before whispering in a low voice:

The problem was, Chloe was in my class, so I’d be spending the whole year with her, whereas Rachel was in Star Class, where I’d rarely have to see her. anxiety I scratched my head.

I couldn’t just say, “You’re the one who pulled the knife first.” apron If I did, she’d probably choose me as her next target.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“What?”

‘So that was what was bothering her?’

“I mean… Geom-Ma, do you prefer big breasts too?!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

I rubbed my chin and thought about it.

I was speechless. academy I’d thought she was upset about being unilaterally overpowered, but it turned out it was about… breasts. sphere I’d already noticed her glancing at me sideways while covering her chest with her hands.

‘Breasts, huh…?’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

In the “martial art of breasts,” the only one who could rival Rachel would be Media. amateur Even Abel didn’t come close. galaxy I imagined a chest so large it would make any other woman seem as flat as an AA battery.

However, if I told her the truth now, I’d be asking for trouble. apple Chloe was still holding a box cutter in her right hand.

Sure, I might like breasts, but Rachel’s were honestly a bit much, so large and pale they were almost distracting—though Chloe’s weren’t so small that she needed to feel self-conscious about them.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

…Though it was a slim hope. acoustic I ran my hand over my face before answering.

Without my sashimi knife, I wouldn’t stand a chance against an enhanced Chloe. alien I didn’t want to spill blood over a simple question with the wrong answer.

In the end, the solution was clear; I just had to say it. apron She was still a girl in her growing years, so there was hope.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“In fact, you could say I prefer smaller ones.”

Chloe’s eyes lit up, still gripping the box cutter tightly. zenith I swallowed and added,

“…”

“No, I don’t like big breasts at all.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

My conscience weighed heavily, but survival was my priority.

Chloe’s face brightened, and she smiled. action She wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeves before putting the box cutter back in her pocket.

“…Really?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

Chloe gathered her short red hair behind her ears and gave me a sweet smile. auction I wasn’t sure, but it seemed like an attempt to charm me.

I let out a sigh of relief.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“By the way… Chloe, how’s Nox doing after all that?”

Sensing that things were turning dangerous, I quickly changed the subject.

I didn’t like the atmosphere turning so cheerful. abstract After all, Chloe was a yandere. echo If she kept getting closer, I’d end up in the fridge.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

I started wondering why Chloe hated Nox so much. amber I knew she disliked the Auditore family, but with Nox, it seemed more like a personal hatred.

I didn’t want to get involved in family issues. crystal I wasn’t that interested, and the less I had to do with a family of assassins, the better.

Chloe’s face darkened at the mention of Nox’s name. ability It was clear she despised her brother.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

Chloe shook her head, her hair falling back over her face.

“Why is he hospitalized? voyage Fights in the alternate space don’t cause physical injuries.”

Finally, Chloe spoke in a dry tone.

“My brother is in the academy hospital.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

Yes, I’d cut him up pretty brutally, but I didn’t think he was so weak that he’d fall apart mentally.

“…I haven’t gone to see him, so I’m not sure, but I heard it wasn’t a physical injury. arch So you don’t need to worry, Geom-Ma.”

‘Was he planning something?’

“Hmm.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

I recalled his emotionless smile. abstract Maybe he was faking being injured to launch a surprise attack. amateur It was a possibility.

And surprise attacks were his specialty. voyage Sure, I could crush him again, but this time I might go as far as to actually take his head off. auction It’d be better to prevent issues before they start.

“Huh?”

“Chloe, could you tell me which room Nox is in at the hospital?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

Chloe’s eyes widened in surprise. adapt I smiled to reassure her.

“…But…”

“It’s a guy thing. action I just want to have a little chat with him, man to man.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

It was time to use my secret weapon.

“Yes?”

“Chloe.”

Chloe seemed hesitant. echo Maybe her relationship with Nox wasn’t purely hate, but more a mix of love and resentment.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“Please.”

I gently patted her head, showing the smile I’d perfected over years of working in customer service.

Chloe’s face turned a deep red.

My hours of YouTube research had finally paid off.

***

A dark presence seemed to rise from deep within him, showing no sign of fading with time.

Nox sat trembling on his bed, lost in thought. armor He felt an unfamiliar emotion churning in his chest. beacon His heart wouldn’t stop racing.

VIP Room, Joaquin Academy Hospital

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Geom-Ma.’

And it was all because of that guy.

Now, he couldn’t even say his name aloud.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

Every time he recalled Geom-Ma’s dark, cold eyes, his body shook.

It was the first time he’d experienced such real fear. galaxy It mixed with his hatred for Geom-Ma and disgust with himself, forming an unbearable feeling.

He could barely repeat it in his mind.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Maybe if it had been nighttime…’ he wondered, but the thought of crossing swords with Geom-Ma again made his joints lock at odd angles.

Until yesterday. audit Nox had lost. adopt And not only that—he’d been sliced to pieces in seconds when Geom-Ma changed his stance, as if he were a mere fish.

He’d gone his entire life without knowing defeat. palette Enemies, no matter who they were, always fell to the “Crimson Blade” of Nox Auditore.

The physical pain was nothing. galaxy But the pain of his broken spirit had sapped all his will to get up.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

‘I’m going to kill him. armor I’m going to kill him. artist I’m going to kill him.’

“Damn it.”

Nox clenched his teeth and slammed his fist onto the bedside table. aluminum The fruits in the basket—apples and bananas—shook and fell. portal The metal table dented under the force of his fist.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

Yes, he could kill him. shadow After all, he was an assassin. airport With the full force of the Auditore family, they could take that damn Geom-Ma’s head.

Chloe belonged to the Auditore family. crystal And her potential as an assassin even surpassed Nox’s.

‘I’m going to kill him and bring Chloe back.’

His mind was consumed with a single obsession.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

Just as his mind filled with hate, someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

“Knock, knock.”

Nox frowned and yelled. athlete The door slid open slowly.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“It’s me.”

It was Geom-Ma. auction Nox sank back onto his bed, his face frozen in disbelief. august His jaw trembled. agent The fire of his will, which had burned just moments earlier, was extinguished at the sight of Geom-Ma.

Geom-Ma approached, hands in his pockets, and dropped into a chair beside the bed.

His words stammered, teeth chattering almost enough to bite his tongue. august With effort, he closed his mouth.

“You, you, you…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“Can I have one of these?”

Unbothered, Geom-Ma inspected the room, scratching his neck. orbit It was a simple gesture, but Nox’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat. alert Beads of sweat slid down his face.

“Looks like the Auditores have money. riddle This room is pretty nice.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“Thanks.”

Geom-Ma pointed to the apples in the basket, and Nox gave a reflexive, spineless nod.

“…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

He picked up an apple and took a big bite. atom Without stopping his chewing, juice dripping down his mouth, Nox sat in silence, completely overwhelmed by fear.

“Eat something, even if it’s just fruit.”

Geom-Ma, unfazed, picked up the knife from the basket. artist Nox thought he might be here to finish him off, and his body froze.

But Geom-Ma just began peeling the apple with expert precision. atom The peel came off thin and smooth, like silk. anchor Nox found himself hypnotized by the exactness of the cuts.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

Geom-Ma stretched, got up from the chair, and made his way to the door. absorb Nox’s gaze flicked between Geom-Ma’s back and the knife on the table.

‘Now.’

He left the peeled apple on the table. anchor Nox continued to tremble, unable to control his reaction to each of Geom-Ma’s gestures.

“Well, looks like you’re doing fine, so I’ll be going.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

He was completely off guard. abandon Slowly, Nox reached for the knife, making sure not to make any noise.

“Oh, one more thing.”

Just as he was about to grab it, Geom-Ma, with the door halfway open, turned his head to look at him. album His eyes were cold.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

“…”

His dry voice echoed in the room.

“If you’re thinking of revenge…”

“I’ll wipe out the entire Auditore family.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 18: There’s never a moment of calm (3) by Indra Translations.

The door closed with a snap.

Clack.

The apple had been sliced into eight perfect pieces.
