Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2)

In Front of the Dragon Class Door

The instant I stepped inside, every student’s gaze locked onto me, their expressions turning into synchronized scowls.

I looked at the nameplate on the door for a moment before pushing it open and entering the classroom.

Just as I was about to leave that zone of discomfort, a tall, broad-shouldered guy with a square jaw strode toward me, each step purposeful.

I thought I was used to these cold stares by now, but in this higher-level class, the hostility in their eyes felt especially intense.

Their disdainful glares were so sharp they felt like needles on the back of my neck.

Ignoring them, I narrowed my eyes, scanning the room for a particular bicolor hairstyle reminiscent of a Japanese thug, but seeing no sign of it, I figured he wasn’t here.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“Well, look who’s here. agent None other than the celebrity himself.”

The guy spoke in a mocking tone, his expression anything but friendly. anxiety It seemed he recognized me from my fight with Knox in the subspace duel.

“But let me tell you something. abstract This isn’t a place for low-grade types like you who come and go as they please.”

When he stopped in front of me, he shoved his hands into his pockets and leaned his face closer.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t bother me and get out.”

At first glance, he looked like one of those rebellious students you find in every class, but after almost twenty years in the restaurant business, dealing with countless drunks, the threats of a big teenager were hardly worth laughing at.

His words sounded like something from a third-rate script, accompanied by a dismissive gesture as he withdrew one hand from his pocket.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“Idiot.”

I smiled and leaned in to whisper in his ear.

As he said this, murmurs began to spread around us. apple Seeing the looks his classmates were giving, the guy’s face flushed red, but as soon as we locked eyes, the color drained from his face.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

However, to my eyes, his punch moved so slowly that it almost made me yawn.

Without a second thought, the guy threw a punch aimed straight at my temple. harbor Despite his large size, his movements were quick and agile, fitting for a member of the Dragon class.

“You bastard!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

Just as I was about to move my hand, someone behind him grabbed his shoulder and, without hesitation, landed a clean punch to his jaw.

I considered fighting back to teach him a lesson—maybe breaking an arm would give him some perspective. silence As an adult, I could afford to give him a lesson in self-restraint.

‘Hmm.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“Wow, this guy’s jaw is like steel, the bastard.”

“Argh!”

The guy grunted and collapsed sideways, completely drained of strength. voyage His eyes rolled back, showing only the whites.

I remembered seeing a YouTube video once that said a punch to the jaw could knock someone out instantly.

“You all right?”

“Thanks to a few days of rest in a nice hospital room, I’m good. sphere Money does help, that’s for sure.”

While everyone else stared at the scene in shock, the one responsible for the punch rubbed his knuckles, muttering to himself as though oblivious to the uproar around him. shadow Then, he turned to me.

Shrugging, I replied nonchalantly, making SpeedWeapon chuckle wryly as he shook his wrist.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

SpeedWeapon, who had just knocked out that big guy with a single punch, was definitely an unusual healer, especially given that his weapon was a recorder.

‘I’ve heard of strong mages, but a healer with strength—this is a first.’

“…”

“Don’t be too offended; if it weren’t for me, you might have ended up dead. atom It’d be a shame to waste your life on something so stupid.”

“Sorry about this. silence You come to our class, and the first thing you see is these idiots. armor But you know, try to understand—they’re just too narrow-minded to see things as they really are. agent Teenage hormones and all.”

He tapped his heel a few times on the guy’s body, making it sway from side to side. voyage I shrugged to show it didn’t bother me much, and SpeedWeapon smiled before leaning down to whisper to the unconscious guy. meadow No one dared approach us.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

I nodded and left the classroom with SpeedWeapon following close behind. acquire As we walked down the hallway, he suddenly asked a question.

There was no response. arcade After murmuring those words to the white-eyed guy, SpeedWeapon straightened, while I looked down at the passed-out student with a blank expression.

“Honestly, if I hadn’t stopped him, what would you have done to that guy?”

“Shall we talk in the hallway? apron Too many eyes here. shadow After all, you came looking for me, didn’t you?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

I stopped and turned my head to look at him.

“Who knows?”

“…You’re one terrifying guy.”

With a cold smile, I replied before continuing down the hall. wizard I noticed SpeedWeapon shudder slightly at my response.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

In the Middle of the Hallway i stopped and began explaining.

***

He trailed behind me, his gaze fixed on me the entire time.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“…So, you need to assemble a team as soon as possible. arrow You’re asking me to help gather the members, and the reward you’d receive would be split among the team, with you keeping the beast materials. arena Did I get that right?”

SpeedWeapon listened closely, nodding, and accepted the proposal without hesitation. zenith Though I was only testing the waters, he seemed eager to help.

While I spoke, SpeedWeapon stroked his chin, murmuring.

The key point was that I needed to put together a team to clear a dungeon, and I wanted to know if he’d be interested in joining.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“If I’m the one forming the team, nobody would show up aside from Chloe. amber With someone from a higher class like you helping, it’ll be a lot easier.”

Besides, SpeedWeapon held the rare and valuable role of healer. academy In Korean games, a healer might get treated like a tool, but here, it was a crucial and rare role.

I’m not great at explaining, but SpeedWeapon caught on quickly. apple I nodded, holding up the special student badge hanging from my chest.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

According to the Joaquin Academy’s rules, you had to form a team of at least four people to get permission for a dungeon expedition.

‘Even if his weapon is a flute, you can’t deny his skill.’

Despite his appearance, he was quite sharp and could understand things no matter how you explained them.

If everyone was looking out for one another, it would be harder for someone to stray or act recklessly.

This rule existed to minimize accidents by having team members keep each other in check.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’d never be able to clear even one alone.”

“If it weren’t for those academy rules… you could probably clear five or six dungeons a day on your own, right?”

After pondering for a moment, SpeedWeapon finally smiled slightly and said.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

I shook my head and spoke quietly.

“…”

“Really? afford Are you saying that after taking down a demon siren all by yourself? shadow False modesty is annoying, you know?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

‘But it’s the truth.’

SpeedWeapon gave me a playful slap on the side, smiling casually.

With my 40-second speed boost ability, I’d be out of commission as soon as I set foot in the dungeon. harbor But he seemed to think I was being humble, so I simply shrugged in silence.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“A Class C dungeon. altitude The Buffalo Dungeon.”

“Got any particular dungeon in mind?”

SpeedWeapon stroked his chin, thinking, then offered his opinion.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“…I’d rather avoid Rachel or Leon.”

SpeedWeapon narrowed his eyes and asked,

“Then… for the last team member, do you have any preference?”

“The Buffalo one… Yeah, that’s a classic.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

He seemed enthusiastic, probably already considering potential candidates in his head.

“Oh, those two are out. altitude Since you went to the hospital, Rachel’s locked herself in the training center, and Leon’s busy prepping for an advanced dungeon with some second- and third-year students.”

SpeedWeapon shrugged as he explained, and I nodded in understanding.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

Joaquin Academy, with its strict policy of not allowing outings without a valid reason, made SpeedWeapon’s eagerness understandable.

For a kid, even this enormous academy could feel like a cage.

After a moment, SpeedWeapon seemed to remember something, and his expression changed.

The only time we’d left had been during the midterm exam when we’d come dangerously close to crossing the line between life and death.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

After checking his watch, SpeedWeapon continued talking.

“Yeah, it’s her usual routine.”

“I know the perfect person for this. ability At this time… she’s probably asleep.”

“Asleep at this hour?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“I didn’t know there was a place like this on campus.”

* * *

“Let’s stop by the store first. antique We’ll need to buy a few things.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

As I looked around, I murmured. athlete I’d never visited this place, not even while playing *Miracle Blessing M.* While I hadn’t explored the entire campus, this place had a distinctly Japanese style.

The Joaquin Academy Archery Dojo.

The place had an exotic feel, like I was on a trip to Japan. august In my previous life, I’d been a chef of Japanese cuisine, but I’d never visited Japan.

As I looked around like a tourist, my gaze settled on a girl lying on the dojo floor.

A cedar wood building. antique When I turned my head, I saw targets in the distance with arrows deeply embedded in them.

It was a tempting thought, but work had never left me any time to travel. apple Now, however, I was having this experience.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

“Hey, wake up.”

SpeedWeapon approached her quickly, and I followed him, though somewhat cautiously. alien When he reached her, he grabbed her shoulder and started shaking her.

“Hey, SpeedWeapon, there’s someone over there.”

“Ah, there she is.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

She lay there with her eyes closed, limp like a rag doll.

Despite SpeedWeapon’s attempts to raise his voice, she continued sleeping soundly. airport Finally, he sighed, stopped shaking her, and said in a low tone,

“…”

He seemed to be shaking her with quite a bit of force, but the girl barely reacted, as if she were unconscious.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

At those words, the girl’s delicate eyelids slowly opened. beacon Rubbing her eyes, she looked up at SpeedWeapon from the floor.

“!!”

“I brought some red bean cakes.”

Her sleepy expression, somehow, gave her a certain charm.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

SpeedWeapon nodded approvingly.

“Yes, but I’ll give them to you after you hear us out.”

“You brought bean cakes?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

A slender girl dressed in an archery kimono, giving her the appearance of an elegant maiden.

Pulling a small bean cake from his pocket, he waved it in front of the girl’s face. altitude Her sky-blue eyes followed the cake from side to side.

She was Saki Ryojo, the daughter of a prestigious family of archers.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 35: This time, too, it’s nothing unusual (2) by Indra Translations.

After yawning, she tapped her mouth a few times, then turned toward me, who stood a few feet away.

“Do you have bean cakes too?”

Her hair, light blue like the sky, fell to her waist, glinting in the light.

I had no idea how to respond.
