Event Story – Study Diligently, Dear Students, ch.10

[kozvme]

 

Female student A: I wonder what will happen in class today.

Male student A: Mr. Jude would have been better at this point...

Nico: Hm. Jude would have been better?

Female student A: W- When did...

Male student A: Sorry! I don't hate your class, Mr. Nico, but...

Nico: I don't mind. Today's lesson will be similar to Jude's, anyway.

Male student A: Huh...

Nico: It's okay. We'll turn today's lesson into a game.
If someone touches me with their prop knife, the game is over. On the other hand, I eliminate the person I slash.

Female student A: All of us together?

Nico: Yeah. Should be easier than sparring with Jude.

Male student A: True, but what's the point...

Nico: I'll explain after we're done. Promise.

Male student A: If that's the case... Let's go, guys!

Nico: You are welcome to come at me from any direction.



Nico: Last.

Male student A: Gh...

Nico: That's it. You put in more effort than I expected.

Female student A: Not at all... I was slashed at breakneck speed the instant I let my guard down...

Male student A: You know some cool tricks! You were too fast for me to catch, and just when I thought you were running away, I was caught off guard...

Nico: This is how I go about fighting.
If this was a real knife, you'd all be dead.

Male student A: Huh...?

Nico: That's just how dangerous the techniques I'm going to teach you are. You could end somene's life.

Male student A: ......

Nico: But since I'm a hero, I'm using them to protect the city and its people.
If your goal is to be a hero, I want you to use them for that. That's what I wanted to tell you.

Students: Understood...!

Nico: Great. Now, do you have any questions?

Male student A: Yes!

Nico: Go on.

Male student A: Why did you throw the knife?

Nico: I wanted everyone to focus on the knife.
You opened yourself up to attack the instant you looked at the knife. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Male student A: So that was the plan...

Nico: What else?

......

Female student A: Mr. Nico, can you go without eating?

Nico: ... Are there... other questions?

Female student A: It's fine to eat as long as you answer our questions.

Nico: Really? Let's do that, then.

*Munch, munch*... Who... has questions...?

Students: Me, me!
