While I was proficient enough in bare-hand martial arts, the same could not be said to sword fighting. I could use weapons like a double stick and a long stick, I never used a sword before. The whole sword things were new to me. However, most of the students here seemed to quite familiar with it already.
"Wait, isn't this bad?"
I mumbled to myself. Bad, yes, very bad. Why? Because Clarissa Edelrose was the hero's daughter! He was someone from the army and he should know how to deal with a sword. If I were him, I would totally teach my children how to wield one. Moreover, according to Griselda, many nobles had their own sword instructor even before attending a military academy, so they had more or less experience on it. That was also why this academy focused on nobles and rich kids; because they needed a different curriculum.
"Hahaha! The hero's daughter cannot wield a sword? What a disgrace to your father! Maybe I will consider teaching you if you beg me!" said the spiky boy, mocking me.
He must be delighted to be able to mock me. Seriously, what a child. I was originally older than him, so somewhat his talk did not bother me. My neighbor who was in fifth grade talked exactly the same way as that spiky boy did.
"Seriously, Rain. You need to mind your attitude."
Suddenly, someone approached us and gave the spiky boy a chop on his head. Rain was probably that spiky' name. Oh, he actually had a name? I thought he was Student A or something. Wait, that name, actually resembled that neighbor kid, Rian. Rian and Rain, Rain and Rian. Haha, well that was funny!
"Excuse me, Milady. Please don't take what he said to heart. Rain is just stupid."
"Who are you calling stupid? You stupid Oliver!"
Oliver. Right, I saw his profile in [Characters] section in [User Manual] before. In short, he was a capturable character. I knew him because he was easy to remember. The name was Oliver and the hair color was Olive. Unlike Rian...I mean Rain, he was quite a gentleman with the proper attitude. At least on the outside. I got the feeling that he was looking down on me.
"Yes, he is stupid. I can tell just by looking. Then, excuse me."
I distanced myself from those two without hearing the complains that Rian, uh Rain, threw at me. Honestly, I did not want to have anything to do with them. 455Please respect copyright.PENANAlsA6FkHwRt
More importantly, I had to learn how to use a sword. We were actually learning from basic, but I was kind of left behind. So, I approached the instructor. He was the man that found me when I was hiding from Griselda yesterday. As for his name, it was Oswald, if I was not mistaken. Everyone including me called him by 'Sir' or 'Instructor', so I was not so sure about his name. I told him that I had difficulty in sword training.
"I see. Georgio, come here."455Please respect copyright.PENANA6vkqJ8fiiK
Instead of teaching me himself, Instructor called a mushroom-head student called Georgio to teach me. I was going to complain, but I saw several students who came to him with the same problem were also paired up with other students. Well, I had no choice but to accept.
