NovelEnglishThe Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button
Chapter 181: Allen Cell and Political Marriage [32]Chapter 181. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [32]
Fu Rudras.
He is tall, about 190 centimeters tall.
Long black hair stretched to the back.
For a swordsman, he has a very thin body.
He appears to be in his early thirties.
An intellectual impression is reflected from his deep, well-formed face.
If only he didn’t have a rapier-like thin sword dangling from his waist, he would look like a scholar.
Wearing a white noble outfit and a black cloak on top of it – engraved with a green pattern, which I think I have seen somewhere before.
(Shit… This is the worst possible situation.)
On top of our infiltration being found out, the other party is a formidable enemy.
Fu is a top-notch swordsman who controls『wind』.
He once attacked Thousand Blade Academy and defeated the president, Lilim-senpai, Ferris-senpai, and a great number of other swordsmen without breaking a sweat.

And when I was wracking my head at high speed,
「It’s been a while, Allen Rodore. It is a little surprising that we would meet again in a place like this.」Fu said, expressionlessly with a blunt, monotonous tone.
「That’s my line. To come across one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle in a place like this… It’s completely beyond my expectations.」
「I see. You came to Belios Castle accompanied by six friends… Which means your purpose is to rescue Sie Arcstria… is what I’m guessing.」
「……!?」
I was shocked by how easily he saw through our objective.
「…How do you know that?」
「It’s quite simple actually. Sie Arcstria was the student council president of Thousand Blade Academy. There is no way that you, who have a strong sense of companionship, will forsake the senpai who was basically bought by a『low-life noble』.」
He said, and looked at our outfits.
「You climbed all the way up here from the lower floor, meaning… you used the spot at the Phantom Spirit Laboratory and jumped directly inside the castle. And then, you stole the black cloak from Zack Bomber – no, if I remember correctly, he was extremely interested in you, so… It would be more accurate to say he『guided』you.」
Fu correctly guessed every step we had taken so far.
(…How troublesome.)
He’s not just a talented swordsman. He’s also really smart, true to his scholarly appearance.
「I’ll ask this just in case. You’re not going to overlook us… are you?」
「Don’t ask dumb stuff like that. I’m not stupid enough let this opportunity slip.」
「…It would seem so.」
Fighting with Fu cannot be avoided.
(If that’s the case, I just have to do the best I can right now…!)
I immediately unsheathed my sword and stepped forward.
「Ria, Rose, senpais! Leave this to me and go ahead!」
「「Allen!?」」
「「Allen-kun!?」」
I understood that everyone’s eyes were focused on my back.
「The worst case scenario would be if everyone is held back here! So, while I’m holding back Fu, go to the rooftop quickly!」I shouted.
「Allen, make sure to come after us. It’s a promise, okay?」
「…I haven’t won against you even once. I won’t acknowledge it if you lose in this place.」
「Aa, I got it.」
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRia and Rose ran, saying something that sounded very much like them.
「… Allen-kun, I am sorry to always impose a difficult role on you. But… Thank you.」
「I always feel bad about it, but… I have to ask you to do this again.」
「Something this trivial shouldn’t be a problem for an inhuman like you, right? I’m counting on you, Allen.」
「Yes, I’ll try my best. Please save the president.」
After exchanging words briefly, the senpais also started running.
As everyone rushed to the rooftop, Fu surprisingly overlooked them.
On the contrary, he turned his back to me and walked towards a cupboard nearby.
He took out two pairs of fine quality cups and saucers, and placed them on a desk with a white tablecloth laid on top.
After that, he put something like tea leaves in the cup and poured hot water from a pot.
「…What are you doing?」
「Don’t you see? I’m making tea.」
「No, I understand that, but… Why tea?」
「That’s a stupid question. Because I got my hands on some good tea leaves.」.
How do I say this… we were engaged in a conversation that didn’t sync together.
After preparing the tea, Fu sat on a wooden chair.
「…What? You should sit down, too. This is a great opportunity, so I’ll answer some questions you had the other day.」Fu said, and sipped on the freshly made tea.
