Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1)
I had undoubtedly been lying down for a long time.
It was the infirmary of Joaquin Academy. atom The chemical smell of medicines filled my nostrils, an aroma I still hadn’t gotten used to. matrix That artificial scent cleared my mind instantly, and it didn’t take long for me to regain my sense of reality. acid After all, this was the third time I found myself in this situation.
I moved my body slightly, and a cracking sound echoed, as if my bones were snapping back into place.
I slowly opened my eyes. timber Through my half-open eyelids, the first thing I glimpsed was the familiar white ceiling.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
A faint groan escaped between my teeth. alpha It felt as though my bones and muscles had been shattered into pieces and then put back together. album My body trembled with constant pain.
I would have preferred to be stabbed directly. auction At least then, only that part would hurt. timber But with this pain coursing through my entire body, there was no way to relieve it. antique However, thinking about it differently, this suffering was proof that I was still alive.
“Ugh…”
I squeezed my eyes shut, but keeping them open seemed very difficult. agent After several attempts, I finally managed to lift my eyelids.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
As the buzzing in my ears subsided, I heard the sound of newspaper pages turning. audit Focusing my blurry vision, I turned my head toward the source of the noise.
‘Of course, being alive hurts like hell.’
I rested my hands on the bed and slowly lifted my upper body. apple The white sheet was imprinted with the marks of my hands.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Siegfried was there, wearing glasses, folding the newspaper he had in his hands. arch With one smooth motion, he gracefully lowered his square glasses to the tip of his nose and set them on top of the newspaper. acquire The movement was so fluid it seemed like he had done it thousands of times before.
“…Master Siegfried?”
“It seems you’ve awakened.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“To be exact, you spent one week in surgery and another week here in the infirmary.”
“…Two weeks? alien I’ve been unconscious that long?”
“I’ve rarely seen such a noble spirit as yours. shadow You’ve been unconscious for two weeks, and the first thing you do upon waking up is worry about others instead of yourself. atlas But don’t worry. zenith I’m getting quite used to living with just one arm.”
Where his right arm should have been, his sleeve hung limp and empty. atlas Sensing my gaze, the Sword Master touched the place where his arm used to be and smiled kindly at me.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“Media threatened the entire hospital to make sure you were saved. alien More than ten doctors worked on your surgery. atlas It was an extraordinary scene, something I hadn’t seen in my seventy years of life. abandon Thanks to you, I’m still learning new things, haha.”
The Sword Master let out a low chuckle.
“A whole week in surgery…?”
My surprise was evident, and the Sword Master shrugged his right shoulder, as if downplaying it.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“In any case, now that you’ve regained consciousness, I’ll take my leave. ability Oh, and once you’ve fully recovered, come see me in the director’s office. abandon That’s where I usually am.”
After laughing for a while, he picked up the newspaper and glasses from the table and stood up.
The severity that usually defined him had disappeared, leaving only the image of a kind and familiar old man.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
With those words, he turned on his heels decisively. accent The sleeve of his empty right arm fluttered with the motion, making a lump form in my throat.
I called out, and my voice reached his back. atomic He slightly turned his torso to respond.
“Master Siegfried.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, anything else?”
Master Siegfried was silent for a moment, as if considering how to respond. canvas Then he glanced toward the door, his silver hair shining under the light as he moved.
“Have you been taking care of me personally all this time?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
When he had pushed the door halfway, he seemed to remember something and added one last thing.
He shook his empty sleeve for emphasis and then opened the door.
“What kind of nonsense is that? echo I just happened to come to the hospital by chance today and was lucky to find you awake.”
“Ah, by the way, don’t worry about the medical expenses. echo This room will remain yours permanently. action Eat well, rest plenty, and take care of your health. album See you.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
I tilted my head, confused, but soon let my body collapse onto the bed. avalanche The tension drained from my body, and exhaustion dragged me back into sleep.
He knocked on the white wall with his knuckles before leaving without looking back, closing the door behind him.
At that moment, I didn’t understand Master Siegfried’s words.
“…What was that?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Master Siegfried had paid out of his own pocket to rent the entire VIP section of the hospital and had stayed by my side throughout my recovery.
It was only after three more days in the hospital, when I was finally discharged, that I learned the truth from a nurse.

From her seat in the third row, Saki Ryozo rested her chin on her hand while looking out the window. aluminum Her long lashes gently fell over her eyes.
In the Wolf class. academy It was a morning, two days after Kang Geom-Ma had been hospitalized for over two weeks.
Although her face remained expressionless, a variety of emotions flickered through her pupils.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“…Ha.”
Since Kang Geom-Ma’s hospitalization, male students from all the classes had approached Saki, trying to talk to her.
Every time that happened, she struck them with a cold glare that seemed to pierce their foreheads. athlete Inevitably, the students would step back awkwardly and leave.
Saki let out a long sigh. autumn The dull monotony of her daily routine weighed heavily on her.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“Has he woken up already?”
After the survival training on the deserted island, she had heard the news that Kang Geom-Ma was in critical condition.
Even if she slept all day, her mind remained foggy, and sweets no longer tasted as good as they used to.
Saki murmured softly with a blank look.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Although they had managed to get him breathing again, rumors claimed that his life was still hanging by a thread.
More than ten medical staff members had performed emergency surgery for an entire week.
“Kang Geom-Ma, he would never die.”
Every time she heard those rumors, Saki felt the urgent need to shoot an arrow into the forehead of whoever was talking about it.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
The academy had strictly prohibited any visits to him. abandon Security guards constantly monitored the room where he was hospitalized, working in shifts day and night.
Saki affirmed this to herself, but in truth, she knew nothing about Kang Geom-Ma’s current condition.
Even when Speedweapon, Chloe, and she tried to visit, the guards blocked them with the same response—they were following direct orders from the academy director.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
In reality, the attention wasn’t on Kang Geom-Ma but on the Sword Master.
To protect the students, the Sword Master had accompanied the expedition and returned from Avalon missing an arm.
“…Does this have something to do with the Sword Master?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
In fact, the map of Avalon Island had changed significantly since that day.
Although she didn’t know the details, she assumed some demon or magical beast had invaded and that the Sword Master had intervened.
Where there had been no lava before, it now bubbled, and the mountain ridges showed edges that seemed artificially cut.
Saki, who had been on Avalon Island, also felt that something strange had occurred. abstract Even from a distance, she had sensed the magical resonance that made her hair stand on end.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“Ugh, how frustrating.”
Saki murmured while tilting her head back. armor Her light blue hair spread out like a fan before settling back on her shoulders.
Media, the academy’s director, took on the role of spokesperson, stating that they would investigate the situation before making a public announcement.
However, no information about what kind of enemy they had faced was revealed.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
All she knew was that, at that moment, even a simple, emotionless greeting from Kang Geom-Ma would be enough to brighten her day, as if they were meeting after decades.
“…When are you coming back? academy You’re worrying me.”
Many thoughts swirled in her mind, but her instinct refused to draw conclusions without evidence.
Saki muttered with a heaviness that felt like dense smoke filling her chest. accent Even her sharp intuition couldn’t decipher this feeling.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
When the image of Kang Geom-Ma, likely fighting between life and death, crossed her mind, the area around her eyes reddened and began to burn.
At that moment, she sensed someone’s presence.
“Sniff, sniff. timber Oh, Geom-Ma…!”
Saki wrinkled her nose to hide her emotions and shook her head as if trying to clear her thoughts. acid Her blue hair fluttered like a fan before settling again.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Saki felt sorry for her, but at the same time, a slight discomfort lingered.
Two seats away, Chloe was wiping her tears with her sleeves over and over again.
Since Kang Geom-Ma was hospitalized, Chloe hadn’t stopped crying. album Her swollen eyes were as red as a rabbit’s, completely dried out from all the tears.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
At first glance, Chloe seemed like an adorable girl, but her actions during Kang Geom-Ma’s hospitalization had gone beyond all limits.
According to the stories, Chloe had shown incredible resistance. atlas The hospital staff began referring to her as the “Red Oni,” turning her into a kind of terrifying legend.
Because of that incident, Chloe had been detained by the guards and suspended for a week. advance She had only returned to class today.
‘No matter how much you care for him, breaking into the hospital in the middle of the night… that’s not normal.’
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“Hey, Speedweapon! avalanche Why are you here again?”
As she watched Chloe’s profile from the corner of her eye, Saki was about to look away when someone unwelcome entered the Wolf class.
“…”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Speedweapon shot a quick glance at the tearful Chloe before fixing his eyes on Saki. acoustic He was carrying a large rolled-up poster under his arm.
“Tch, it’s not like I came because I enjoy seeing your face.”
“What’s that?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Upon hearing those words, Saki’s previously indifferent pupils widened like plates. apple Chloe also stopped crying.
“Ah, this is a poster for our club. arctic Once the president is out of the hospital, we’ll finalize the paperwork to establish the club, but we still need one more member. palette When you think about it, we’ve always relied on him and never really done anything proactive.”
Saki rested her cheek on her palm and pointed with her gaze.
Speedweapon rubbed his nose awkwardly while speaking, but his tone conveyed an unshakable confidence that Kang Geom-Ma would return safely.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“…Speedweapon, you…”
Speedweapon, with a slight blush on his cheeks, raised his voice. adjust Saki gave a small smile and added.
“What? amateur What’s wrong? acid I know it sounds ridiculous, don’t look at me like that!”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Chloe nodded vigorously.
“I’m doing this because I’m a senior student, that’s all.”
“Sniff, yes, Geom-Ma will be fine and come back. abstract In the meantime, let’s do what we can.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Disoriented by the unexpected response, Speedweapon scratched his cheek while smiling awkwardly.
“Huh? atomic What? arctic Is that a compliment?”
“For the first time, you’ve surprised me, Speedweapon.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“Ahem! palette I doubt there’s anything to correct. crystal I, Speedweapon, spent all night designing this.”
“Well, show the poster you brought. accent Let’s see if there’s anything to change.”
With a proud expression, Speedweapon unrolled the poster with a brief clearing of his throat.
When Speedweapon spoke enthusiastically, Saki’s eyebrows arched elegantly. zenith On the other hand, Chloe’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.

Speedweapon cleared his throat briefly and unfolded a rolled-up piece of paper.
She tried to control her expression and gestured for him to unroll it.
“Rustle⎯”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
The combination of scattered emojis, flashy text, and fluorescent colors was too much to process all at once.
“Wow, even if I tried, I couldn’t have created something like this,” she muttered, her voice filled with a mix of amazement and sarcasm.
“….”
Saki looked at the poster with a mixture of astonishment and disbelief.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, in many ways.”
“I knew you’d appreciate my sense of design, being a top student and all!” absorb Speedweapon thumped his chest with pride.
Saki nodded slightly, still staring at the poster.
“Haha, what do you think? athlete Did I impress you?” sphere Speedweapon asked confidently.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Although the intention behind the poster was noble, its quality left much to be desired. action Saki sighed, managing a faint smile to maintain her composure.
Saki bit her tongue to avoid saying anything further. sphere She looked from Speedweapon to the poster again.
‘Is this guy in his right mind?’ she thought, unable to help herself.
Before Speedweapon could say anything else, the sudden sound of a box cutter slicing through paper made her turn around.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
“Ch-Chloe! portal What are you doing?” he exclaimed in disbelief.
Screeech.
Speedweapon stared in horror as Chloe calmly shredded the poster with her pink box cutter.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Chloe tilted her head with an expression of icy indifference.
Chloe closed the blade with a cold expression and spoke in a low voice.
“I can’t allow something so awful to be shown to Geom-Ma.”
“But I spent all night working on that! adopt How can you just destroy it like that?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
Click.
Speedweapon’s pupils trembled visibly. ability He gestured toward Saki, who was watching silently, pleading for help.
The sound of the box cutter sliding open again made Speedweapon take a step back.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 66: Swordmaster Siegfried (1) by Indra Translations.
However, Saki, with a serene smile, began patting Chloe on the back.
