Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2)

Long blue hair falling to her waist, neatly groomed, with clear, bright golden eyes, a slender jawline, and striking features.

“Hey, could you give up your seat?”

Um, but I don’t understand the situation right now. canvas How could the timing be so unfortunate and strange?

Around midnight, I was sitting on a bench in a quiet courtyard. amateur I gathered my scattered thoughts, gazed at the stars, and made resolutions for the future.

The spring breeze was still a bit chilly, so she wore a beige cardigan draped over her shoulders like a cape, and a Claymore in a white sheath hung from her waist.

Her outfit, consisting of navy blue tracksuit leggings and a cropped t-shirt, was so captivating it almost seemed unreal. artist Her elegantly shaped legs formed a perfect curve from top to bottom.

I hadn’t noticed her during the entrance ceremony since I had only seen her from a distance, but seeing her up close made me pause. acquire Her appearance was so surreal that the standards of beauty seemed to shift before and after seeing her.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

Wasn’t there room for both of us on the bench?

However.

While I was momentarily stunned, Abel stared at me. sphere Her intelligent, yet somewhat distant aura made her look like the moon shining solely on her.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

‘Ugh.’

But right now, for whatever reason, I didn’t want to get involved. apron I had just decided to avoid getting caught up in any political matters. palette Meeting a beautiful woman is always pleasant, but in my current position, it wasn’t something I could embrace happily. admire There’s nothing more dangerous than getting entangled with the main characters.

It was, after all, academy property. august I wondered if there was some unwritten rule that prohibited students from the special education class from sitting on public benches whenever they wanted. crystal This crazy academy wouldn’t surprise me at all. accent I couldn’t believe how accustomed I’d grown to the social hierarchy here.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

That was the moment I was about to stand up.

Moreover, I wasn’t in the mood to deal with anyone after what had happened with Chloe last time. voyage Every time her clouded eyes briefly crossed my mind, my hands trembled slightly.

Well, she wasn’t extorting me or anything, just asking me to give up my seat, which wasn’t a particularly difficult request.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“…”

Abel slightly tilted her head and approached me. abstract She motioned for me to shift a little, and I slid to the corner of the bench. accent Sweat beaded on my forehead like dew after a workout.

“There’s no need for you to leave. album Just scoot over a bit.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

Silence settled in the calm dawn air. agent The insects had already ceased their work, and the only sound was the trees swaying in the wind.

“…”

I turned my head slightly to the side. arcade Abel wiped sweat from her brow with her sleeve, her eyes fixed on the night sky. portal The allure of the heroine was so strong that my gaze automatically followed hers.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

Surprisingly, Abel was the first to break the silence. legend Her eyes remained on the night sky.

I couldn’t help but be taken aback seeing Abel, her eyes shining as she gazed at the stars.

“This is the best spot to see the stars.”

In the game, Abel was a character who couldn’t be described as having a good personality, even with empty flattery. timber Isn’t she supposed to be one of those characters? autumn Someone who draws people in with her unapproachable nature, only to slowly build emotions after overcoming all sorts of difficulties.

Was this really the granddaughter of the Sword Master, Abel von Nibelung?

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“Is your weapon a sword too?”

So, I wasn’t familiar with this side of her, where she was speaking to me in a relatively friendly manner. absorb Abel, who was still looking at the sea of stars, turned her gaze toward me.

Even the handsome protagonist struggled to exchange a few words with her at first due to her hostile attitude.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

I responded with a slight nod. agent Her clear voice tickled my ears.

Abel observed me closely, her eyes narrowing slightly. auction Her long hair flowed gently over her shoulder, brushing against her chest. silence Tilting her head slightly, Abel touched her chin, then took the sword that had been resting on the arm of the bench.

“Grandfather used to say that a swordsman’s eyes are a bit different.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’m not really interested.”

“Want to hold it?”

At my response, Abel pouted. afford One of her cheeks puffed out before she sharply turned her head away. portal Was she offended? orbit Abel stayed silent for a moment before speaking again.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“More or less.”

“But I don’t know who you are.”

“You know who I am, don’t you?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“That’s not fair, is it? atlas You know my name, but I don’t know anything about you.”

Huh?

“We just met, and you already want to know my name?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“And what are you?”

“For all I know, you could be a Demon King spy disguised as a student, infiltrating the academy. atlas I mean, you don’t seem to have a good reason to be sitting here alone at this time of night.”

While I stared at her with a bewildered expression, Abel tapped the hilt of her sword with her fingernail. arena Her gaze was sizing me up. accent Just by looking into her eyes, it was hard to tell if she was joking or being serious.

I squinted at her, but Abel continued talking, unfazed.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“I was exercising too.”

“Isn’t it obvious? academy I was training and came here to rest, while you were just sprawled out on the bench.”

When I responded coldly, Abel looked puzzled for a moment before letting out a short sigh.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“Breathing.”

Abel twisted her mouth into a wry smile, then brought a hand to her temple and shook her head. palette I noticed that her hand was covered in bandages and gauze. accent When she realized I was looking, she quickly hid her hand behind her back, awkwardly scratching her cheek.

“…”

“What kind of exercise?”

Abel fidgeted with her fingers while sneaking glances at me, brushing the hair away from her face.

“You’re very dedicated.”

It was hard to believe this was the same cold and distant Abel I knew from the game. athlete In the original story, she was the typical aloof and unapproachable character, but the girl in front of me showed a surprising range of expressions.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yeah, I suppose.”

“People don’t get it. arrow They don’t understand what it means to carry the Nibelung blood. voyage I always have to be the best, perfect in everything. acid Even the smallest mistake is a chance for them to pounce on me. academy You know, I’m not the top student this year, right? academy Honestly, it’s the first time I’ve ever lost to someone.”

Abel pursed her lips and bit down hard. ability Immediately after, she smiled awkwardly.

Her expression darkened.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“But, you know, in a strange way, I also feel relieved.”

As she continued, I remained silent. arrow There was no need to say anything.

“But you know what? altitude In a way, it was kind of refreshing.”

As Abel kept talking, I didn’t bother to interrupt.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“Of course. alien It’s a matter of pride. aspect I asked my grandfather, and he said the top student isn’t even in our class. arch And, on top of that, they didn’t even attend the ceremony for the top students. amber How infuriating!”

“That serious?”

“Still, I’m curious about who beat me. amber I want to surpass them next time. attic No, next time, I’ll crush them.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“I shouldn’t be telling you this, it’s ridiculous that I am. attic I guess it bothered me more than I thought.”

She mumbled under her breath, then shook her head as if trying to shake off those thoughts.

“Why are you telling me all this?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s time for me to go.”

“Huh? echo Because you seem weak. audit My family has a saying, ‘Be tough with the strong and merciful with the weak.’ And besides, my classmates are all unbearable, so I don’t have any friends.”

‘So that’s why she was so cold to the protagonist,’ I thought.

Abel stretched, dusted off her leggings, and stood up.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

“So, when are you going to tell me your name?”

“Oh, take care.”

“I don’t want to.”

Although we had never met before, he was a very interesting student. alpha For some reason, I felt comforted by a conversation that lasted less than thirty minutes.

“Hey!”

“It’s been fun, for the first time in a while.”

On the outside, there was the heavy burden of being the descendant of Nibelung and the granddaughter of the Sword Master.

I could barely remember the last time I shared my true feelings with someone.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

Plenty of conversation went back and forth. arrow However, this student’s attitude had a way of bringing out honesty.

Then, on a whim, an unknown student spoke to me and just stared at me. airport They say silence is a form of conversation too, don’t they?

At the academy, I was sick of the mix of awe and jealousy from my classmates.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

Abel smiled bitterly and walked down the dark path back to the dormitory.

He had a bit of a rough personality. armor No, maybe a bit unfortunate. apple He didn’t even tell me his name until the end. acoustic Even classmates would exchange contact information just to start a conversation.

Her steps were lighter than usual.

“It’s strange, I feel like I was rejected without even confessing…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

The next morning, I went to the library as soon as the sun rose.

It was an imposing structure, fitting for the most prestigious academy in the world. legend Standing eight stories high, it reminded me of the Tower of Pisa. alert If there was one thing this world did well, it was size and scale.

***

The interior was even more impressive. silence Books lined the walls in circles around a large cylindrical atrium in the center, stretching all the way up to the top floor.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

I had never had a close relationship with books. galaxy Not only because I dropped out of school after finishing high school, but also because printed letters always made me dizzy.

“This really makes me feel like a proper student.”

I briefly admired the quiet library—it was the weekend, after all—and then settled into a corner.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

Additionally, I planned to keep training my body and learning normal sword skills. arcade I didn’t intend to rely on the divine blessing of “pain insensitivity” unless my life was on the line. altitude Although, I wasn’t sure it would be as easy as it sounded.

In my previous life, I always left beast hunting in auto mode, so I didn’t know anything about their attack patterns. altitude Whenever I got stuck, I’d just pay to move forward. ability That’s why all of this was new to me, and I needed to study.

With my heart still racing a bit, I went over what I needed to look for first books about the history of this world and survival knowledge. august I had to prioritize finding information on how to handle blessings and study the demon beasts I’d face in the upcoming hunting trials.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

I calmly explored the library’s categories. antenna Soon, a poorly placed book on a shelf caught my attention. alpha Its title was “The Secret Life of the Perverted Director♥”, printed on a red cover.

But what else could I do? afford Even if things didn’t go as planned, I had to try.

“In dangerous situations, I’d probably end up drawing the sashimi knife out of instinct.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 9: The extra just wants to live (2) by Indra Translations.

Studying was important, but for a young, energetic man, there were other things even more important.

The book was so worn that the cover’s color had nearly faded away. advance I laughed to myself, realizing that some things never change, no matter where you are, and I picked it up.

“How lucky am I.”
