Helmut: The Forsaken Child Chapter 76

Helmut

Episode 76

It was a contrast to Helmut’s situation.

Of course, Helmut is a transfer student and thus has a weak position, and Asuka is a proven talent and current student, but even taking that into account, the reactions to the two were somewhat different.

While Helmut received constant attention, whether it was a fight or not, no one paid attention to Asuka.

Or rather, it seemed like they were afraid to look at him. I’m afraid the pod will be caught.

“Because he’s not a crazy dog for nothing. If you mess up at any time, this guy can roll his eyes and bite you, so don’t mess with him. That guy was no joke last year. “Wow, I got goosebumps when I heard that.”

“What happened last year?”

“Well, there were fights from time to time. Asuka, it was basic for that guy to take down multiple people by himself. It is said that if there is a fight, the opponent’s limbs are broken, teeth are knocked out, and the opponent is completely killed.

In the end, he bit off a nobleman’s ear and chewed the flesh with his teeth dripping blood. Those who were treated harshly by him dropped out due to mental shock. That’s why there are more transfer positions than in previous years.”

After listening to it, I kind of liked it. Accepting it with enthusiasm. This was what Helmut wanted to do now.

“The other person attacked first with a sword, and he was a very skilled guy, so it was resolved with a suspension, but many people said that if the instructor hadn’t shown up and stopped him, it wouldn’t have ended with him biting off his ear.

I heard that based on the practical exam, he was the top 2nd year student in the swordsmanship department?”

“is it.”

I think it would be difficult to shake off the controversy without causing an accident like Asuka’s.

Of course, Helmut could have done more than that, but Ethan wouldn’t want the person he was protecting to become the second crazy dog in the swordsmanship department.

“I know what you’re thinking, we’re going to spar soon. “Then show me your true self.”

Before that, it meant patience. But Helmut didn’t have much patience for this kind of work.

“I saw it.”

Sian, who sensed that Helmut’s eyes had become cold, said no more.

He just sympathized with the guys from the swordsmanship department who turned on Helmut.

The next day, Helmut picked up the wooden sword and headed to the class location to receive his first lesson from another instructor, Patricia.

The class place was quiet. Even as class time approached, no one showed up.

Occasionally, students passing by would only glance at him.

‘Why isn’t anyone coming?’

Helmut, who was lost in other thoughts, noticed something strange only later.

There may have been some changes in the meantime. I listened to everything the instructor said, but I couldn’t remember anything.

‘Should I go looking for it?’

I had a bad feeling. Also, except for him, everyone else didn’t show up.

As I was contemplating whether to leave or not, someone frowned and approached Helmut.

It’s a face I’ve seen before. A second-year student at the same swordsmanship department.

“What are you doing here? The class location has changed. “Why are you making me go through the trouble of looking for it?”

“I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

“What are you talking about. “I must have delivered all the notes under Instructor Patricia’s instructions…”

The guy blinked as if he realized something. But he wasn’t on Helmut’s side either.

“You must have forgotten. Anyway, go quickly.”

Helmut’s mood suddenly dropped as he followed the lead.

This is my first time experiencing something like this. It was so interesting that my head heated up.

‘It’s very fun.’

If you are harmed, you must pay back. I suddenly want to see blood. I feel like I want to slaughter everyone in the swordsmanship department gathered in front of me, including the guy in front of me.

The sprout of darkness stirred and urged Helmut.

‘Okay, good idea! Kill them all! Kill them all and make sure no one can ignore you!’

Helmut calmed down the darkness through his breathing.

The guy ahead of me felt a chill down his spine, looked back slightly, and made eye contact with Helmut.

“Hi!”

‘Why are those eyes so creepy?’

Even though he thought he had seen something wrong, he was caught up in a strange feeling, so he closed his babbling mouth and guided Helmut to his destination.

“I came to find you. “I was in class.”

“Okay, good job.”

A beautiful woman dressed in black leather greeted them in front of the students. Although she was a beauty with prominent red lips, she was called a witch by students at the swordsmanship department.

Instructor Patricia. She looked at Helmut and tilted her head to one side.

‘This is the student recommended by instructor Helmut Edan.’

And this guy showed incredible skills in the transfer exam. Helmut had high expectations. However, just because you have high expectations doesn’t mean you can overlook their mistakes.

She asked in a stern manner, with her hands on her waist.

“Guys, why didn’t you come to the changed class location? “Did you forget?”

“Because I never received it.”

Patricia immediately understood what that meant. But she asked back.

“Did you ever think there was something strange? “Do you want to check?”

“I thought it was strange, but I thought someone would come if I stayed there. “I didn’t know how to check.”

Helmut is a transfer student and has no friends, so there is no one to tell him about. It was a valid retort since it was better to follow someone when they came looking for them than to wander around the campus.

Instructor Patricia raised her eyebrows.

“Come out the messenger!”

One person jumped out from the gathered group. He politely bowed his head towards the instructor.

“This is Jerome, the messenger.”

“What happened? Was it a mistake?”

“I delivered clearly. “Not one person is left out.”

“I heard this guy didn’t receive it?”

Jerome shrugged shamelessly.

“You probably forgot it even after it was delivered.”

“Tell me when and where you delivered it. “I need to know whether this was an intentional omission or not.”

Instructor Patricia showed a strict attitude. If you can’t hang out with commoners because you come from a noble background, I understand because you can’t force yourself to make friends.

However, it was not acceptable to harass commoners so blatantly.

Not only was it against the academy’s school rules, but it was also something I couldn’t tolerate as an instructor.

“Yesterday, before the undergraduate theory class on swordsmanship started, I delivered a note at the entrance. No one left out. “The other guys probably saw it too.”

“We saw it too. “I sent a message to everyone.”

“It’s clear. “That guy forgot and made excuses.”

Sabbat and Aaron also joined in. I guess it was a friend I had just made. Patricia’s eyes fell on Helmut.

“So what about you? “What do you think about those words?”

Yesterday, before class started, something was handed out at the entrance.

But as soon as Helmut entered the door, Jerome completely hid his hands.

Helmut thought it was a friendly letter passed between nobles or something like that.

“It seemed like they were giving something away, but I couldn’t really see it. “As I passed forward, he hid his hand.”

“You bastard! “What nonsense!”

Jerome raised his voice. The swordsmanship students whispered and looked at each other.

“Are you saying I’m lying?”

“okay.”

Helmut immediately responded calmly. Because of that, it was a voice that sounded like the truth. Instructor Patricia frowned and placed her chin on her chin.

“I’m at a loss right now.”

“I have friends who will prove my actions!”

Instructor Patricia shook her head at Jerome’s shout.

“But they are your friends. “It looks like this transfer student hasn’t made any friends.”

“We don’t lie and take sides just because we’re close friends!”

“That’s right. Does it make sense to join in a lie just because we’re close friends?”

Sabbat and Eren raised their voices as if they were being wronged. It was a very shameless act.

“If you say it that way. Helmut, I’ll have to prove it to you too. “I’m saying you weren’t informed that the class location had changed.”

It was a disadvantage from the beginning. They intentionally set it up and even made witnesses.

But Helmut was alone. There are no witnesses or evidence.

Instructor Patricia also clearly knew who was at fault.

However, that does not mean that instructors can take one side based on opinions without any basis. Because it goes against fairness.

It may be unfair to Helmut, but we can treat it like a hit-and-run on the playground and end it here before the situation escalates.

Even in a cornered situation, Helmut calmly opened his mouth.

“I have no evidence. But there is a way to prove it.”

“what is that?”

“Before that, let me make one thing clear. The one who was found to be lying in his own way will drop out of the academy. Not only myself, but also the witnesses.”

Everyone took a breath at those words.

‘Look at this?’

A smile appeared on Instructor Patricia’s lips. There seems to be a way.

The three of them, including Jerome, suddenly became nervous at Helmut’s confident attitude.

‘This crazy?’

‘How can Ji prove what happened in that short period of time?’

‘Why are you talking about dropping out? ‘Isn’t this a bluff?’

Instructor Patricia wiped her smile and asked again with a stern expression.

“Are there any objections?”

The three looked at each other. However, you cannot retract your statement in front of everyone. They shouted at the same time.

“doesn’t exist!”

“Then let’s hear how.”

Patricia gestured towards Helmut. With everyone watching, Helmut’s mouth dropped.

“The Eye of Truth.”

While taking the liberal arts test, I also learned about Greta Academy.

Area told him about Greta Academy in detail, starting with its history, and Helmut remembered it all.

Even if they remember it, not many people can use the knowledge at the right time.

But Helmut was good at finding answers within himself.

What Darian taught him was not only swordsmanship, but also how to achieve victory.

“I heard that there is an artifact called the Eye of Truth at the Academy. It is said that all truths and lies are revealed in front of him. “It will be more solid evidence than those unreliable witnesses.”

Instructor Patricia, who had no idea that the Eyes of Truth would be mentioned, opened her eyes wide. The swordsmanship students also looked at each other and whispered.

“The Eye of Truth? Have you ever heard of it?”

“I think that came up on the test.”

“Was it a legendary artifact? “There was something like that.”

Helmut now looked straight at Jerome, who was cornered.

It had calm-looking, pitch-black eyes that concealed a tyrannical nature.

“It will be more solid evidence than a flimsy witness.”

Jerome Sabbat Aaron The three faces turned white.

“Yes, that’s right, gentlemen. I had forgotten that such a verification method existed, but this is an amazing idea. “It’s just a minor incident, but it seems like that’s the only way to hide the truth now.”

The Eye of Truth is an important object used in the trial of students who have committed serious crimes.

Because student trials rarely took place, it was kept in storage for nearly ten years.

Basically, the item can only be used with the permission of the dean.

It would be difficult to ask for permission since it is not an item meant to be used to cover up such trivial disputes.

However, instructor Patricia actively agreed.

“Did you say that when the dispute is decided, the one who lied will drop out? “Are both sides confident enough to use the Eye of Truth?”

“yes.”

Helmut answered without hesitation, while the other three remained silent.

‘If you’re dragged in front of the damn truth like this, it’ll be over.’

‘There was such a thing?’

‘For no reason, Jerome came out with a trick. What is this?’

“Guys, why isn’t there an answer?”
