Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4)

It was the classic case of the bear does the work, but someone else gets the money.

The “shareholders’” party at Parsy Academy continued even after the second test concluded.

“Drink! matrix Drink! advance To us, to Parsy, may glory be with us!”

In other words, they spent an entire week eating, drinking, and celebrating nonstop.

“May the blessing of the founding hero be upon us!”

Omitted the rest…

“If he had been born in this era, he’d definitely be here celebrating with us! crystal Who knows! orbit Maybe in his time he had nothing fun to do, so he lived ‘inevitably’ in virtue.”

“Hahaha! echo The founder was the one who founded Joaquin—what are you invoking him for here, buddy?!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

“…Still, there should be a limit…”

To some, all this commotion might have been bewildering, not understanding why they were getting so excited.

If demons lived on mana, nobles lived on champagne and perfume.

But it was well known that nobles were a breed that went wild for parties.

He too was corrupt—though moderately.

As the academy’s head, it was clear he belonged to an elevated class.

From a corner, Parsy Academy’s director grit his teeth in frustration. zenith Of course, he was also a noble.

He liked money, and his vanity was such that he’d even erected a statue of himself on campus. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

“This isn’t right.”

He couldn’t allow his own students—namely, the children of those families—to be used as tools to fill their bellies, turning this academic exchange into a mere campaign to inflate Parsy’s value.

But that didn’t mean his conscience as an educator had completely died.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

He had already tolerated the shareholders enough.

If any took offense at a few harsh words, it’d be better to stop it at the root now.

Before the critical moment passed, he had to intervene personally as the director.

If he didn’t act now, this pus would turn into cancer. apron And soon.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

“Hic—What was that?”

A tower of champagne glasses shook.

Bang!

He made the decision, nodding to himself firmly. adapt And right then, the determined director of Parsy took a step out of the corner.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

Everyone in the hall looked toward the door.

The atmosphere chilled.

“…Hey, you, what—”

“…”

The nobles clearly looked uncomfortable.

His outline was darkened by the backlight, as if a black halo surrounded him.

Through the open door, the silhouette of a man could be seen—difficult to identify.

“…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

He entered the hall.

A darkness deeper than the shadows covering his body. antenna Among his disheveled hair, a single obsidian lock cascaded down.

“T-that hair…!”

Step.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

He took another step.

“Don’t move.”

“From now on, if anyone moves, I don’t know what might happen.”

At that hiccup, a champagne glass dropped onto the marble floor and shattered. silence At the same time, the intruder drew something from his waist.

“Hic!”

Flash!

“Hands behind your head and stay seated.”

Heavenly Sword declared in the center of the hall.

“I always mean what I say.”

The light of his sword gleamed for an instant. anxiety A second later, the man who dropped the glass collapsed, eyes rolling back.

It wasn’t a surprise, so they didn’t take it as a tragedy. alien Rather, their expressions said, “We knew this would happen.”

Despite my sudden appearance, the attendees in the hall regained their composure rather quickly.

Only one person reacted with real panic. acid The director of Parsy Academy flinched and ran toward me.

That made me realize my arrival was already within expectations. auction But as always, there are exceptions.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

“L-Lord Heavenly Sword! attic What is happening here?”

“…Take a look?”

“What else? antique I just came to take a look.”

The director abruptly turned his head as he spoke.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

The director yielded the floor to me without resistance.

That’s when the tension began to show in the nobles’ eyes.

Shaking with anger, he clenched his fists but ultimately stepped back.

And then, like a child caught with a forbidden red book, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

That didn’t mean he had no connection. abstract Just that he didn’t seem tangled in the shady business.

But his response and demeanor confirmed something for me—Parsy Academy’s director wasn’t involved in this “shareholders’ assembly.”

It seemed they expected the director to openly oppose me.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

I cast a brief glance at the director, whose face was full of concern. alpha The words I exchanged with Knox on the way here echoed in my mind.

— You mean the director’s name not being on it? august I also had doubts at first, but it’s accurate. anchor It was verified multiple times.

‘Wow, the guy who looked the greediest turned out to have more integrity than I thought.’

‘…Seems like there’s something off with this list, huh?’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

— Are you implying he’s an internal whistleblower?

— If we’re going by appearances, you too… never mind. acquire We don’t yet know Director Dante’s true intent, but it’s clear there’s friction between him and the nobles.

‘That’s a big leap. portal Would a guy like this really have the guts?’

‘Fine, maybe he’s not involved… but according to this, the guy kept detailed records in the books.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

Clearly, he planned to get rid of them at some point, but lacked the guts to pull it off.

If this were a fish market, Director Dante had carefully lined up a list of rotten fish.

“Even for you, this is too much! ability Do you even know who that man you just killed was?!”

“You lot are the ones who crossed the line first.”

Of course, it was a miniature kind of courage.

Even so, she managed to continue arguing. atomic In a place where even noblemen stayed silent in fear, she showed a rare bit of boldness.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

“……!”

“We’ve received reports that you’ve been feasting and drinking non-stop for a whole week with embezzled funds from this exchange.”

I threw the bundle of documents I’d brought onto the floor.

“If you doubt it, speak up.”

“You’re the ringleader, aren’t you?”

At my words, the color drained from the woman’s face. adapt She began shaking her head silently.

“S-still, no matter the reason, you can’t escape the responsibility of killing a noble, Lord Heavenly Sword…!”

“You’re the one avoiding the issue! echo You must answer for killing a nob—!”

“…N-not me…”

“Dodging accountability is a bad look.”

“No.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

“Who said he was dead?”

“Look again.”

“He has no vital signs, clearly he’s—!”

‘Authority of “Core Strike.”’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

‘Or so it used to.’

Nowadays, the air in the human world is filled with mana particles like fine dust. portal That means humans carry traces of mana too.

Since this authority comes from one of the strongest magical beasts, there used to be a sharp difference between the demon realm and the human realm.

Originally, this effect only applied to “mana-bearing enemies.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

A sigh, or perhaps a statement. apple After that, everyone stared at me as if it was protocol.

I must keep demonstrating physical strength beyond the horizon. aluminum That’s the only way I’ll be able to face the end of the world.

“Haah.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t speak unless you’re sure. atlas Didn’t anyone ever teach you that?”

How satisfying.

“I-I saw it! matrix I definitely saw him stop breathing!”

Finally, I got to say that line.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

As the dark atmosphere began to spread, Director Dante had no choice but to intervene.

“H-Heavenly Sword…”

“I’ll explain everything. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. riddle For now, why don’t you sheathe your sword and leave this for another time?”

“What’s ever changed from doing that?”

I let out a sigh.

“Who are you calling a scammer?!”

“Isn’t it by putting it off, day after day, that you all became puppets to these scam artists posing as shareholders?”

“What are you talking about…?”

Another one collapsed under the authority of Core Strike. ability The collateral noise disappeared instantly. antenna Ignoring the woman, I continued speaking with Dante.

“Shut up.”

“Ack!”

“……”

“You know it. abstract You know that if you don’t fix this now, there won’t be another chance. riddle If we let this exchange end quietly, even if future ones are held, Parsy’s students will gain absolutely nothing.”

“Complicity is a crime too.”

Finally, the workplace.

A human’s first social environment is the home. avalanche Then school.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 346: End of the Inter-Academy Tournament (4) by Indra Translations.

Fixing it requires bloody effort—and a tutor willing to spill more blood than the person being saved.

That’s right. adjust I’m talking about me.

Among those, the one you can intervene in earliest is the home. harbor Growing up in a twisted family sends your life off course.

“Showing students the real face of the world—that’s what a true educator does. arctic Dante, that’s your role.”

“If you want to leave, go. aluminum But I’ll do what I have to. auction I’ll educate this corrupt mob right here.”

I had said all I needed to.

The decision was his.

“This is an ‘exchange’ period, right?”

“Director!”

“Lend me your sword. abandon I’ll return all the money these people embezzled.”

A woman’s voice pierced like a spear.

“Hmm…”

“Where do you plan to return it?”

But neither of us paid it any mind.

The official name is GM Foundation. adjust Among my family and old companions, we informally call it Kang Geom-Ma Foundation.

I ignored my conscience, which was already starting to burn. silence And I moved forward.

“If this resolves without any deaths, I’ll give the remaining 10% to you as financial compensation, Heavenly Sword.”

In short, the guy wanted to donate everything. agent Too generous, my friend.

I began slowly unsheathing the two sashimi blades.
