The Return of the Destruction-Class Death Knight Chapter 236
Episode 236: No Help (4)
Damien stared blankly at the man who had appeared out of nowhere. Delon Muller did the same.
The students swallowed dry saliva and looked at the two. Both of them were masters. If they clashed here, they didn’t know what would happen.
Then, all of a sudden, Damien gestured in the direction where the students were standing.
“Oliver, come here.”
Oliver approached Damian, looking puzzled. Damian whispered to Oliver.
“Who the hell are you?”
It was a small voice, but because they were so close, everyone could hear Damien’s question.
Oliver, the other students, and even Delon Muller looked at him with bewildered expressions.
“Do you really not know who that person is?”
Damian asked again, impressed by Oliver’s arrogance in calling his teacher ‘that guy’ even though he was right in front of him.
“I didn’t come here to make friends. So who are you?”
“My name is Delon Muller. I am the head teacher of the first-year fencing class at the Academy… no, I am in charge of all the first-year classes.”
In fact, this alone was not enough to explain what kind of person Delon Muller was, so Oliver quickly added.
“Before I came to the Academy as a teacher, I was called the Hero of the Empire.”
“hero?”
“I didn’t have any great major… … I was just a very famous advisor.”
Damian focused a little more on Oliver’s words.
“I heard that he was in charge of going around the knight families and finding and improving the problems of the visionaries. I heard that he was very skilled. I heard that there were families that produced masterclasses thanks to the help of that man.”
“okay?”
“I heard that thanks to that achievement, you were invited to be a teacher at the academy.”
Damien looked at Delon Muller with interest.
Even after reaching the level of a master class, it was not easy to help other families improve their skills.
But unlike his great past, Delon Muller’s realm was not that great.
Although it was a master class, it didn’t overcome even one wall.
‘Sometimes there are people with that kind of talent.’
Although your own abilities are not that great, you have the talent to accurately identify and analyze other people’s problems.
People with such talents are naturally gifted at teaching others.
“The person who came to the academy as a teacher doesn’t know me! How ridiculous!”
Delon Muller said, his face turning red with anger. Damien asked Delon Muller.
“So what are you doing here?”
“What’s going on? That’s a very good question! I came here to question you about your behavior!”
“Are you being violent?”
“Are you planning on pretending not to know about what happened just yesterday? Didn’t you cause a commotion by going around the academy!”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Damien said it nonchalantly. This made Delon Muller even more angry.
“Is that all you can say after committing such a crime? I have never seen such a undignified person! This is why I did not hire knights who were not from the Empire as teachers!”
Damien looked at Delon Muller with a somewhat bored expression. Ever since he entered the Academy, everyone had been questioning Damien’s origins.
“That’s not all! A person who is a master class teacher is persecuting students! It’s a good thing I happened to see this! Otherwise, I would have been in big trouble!”
“I simply reprimanded these two people as a teacher because they behaved improperly.”
“Admonishment? What did these two do that you’re saying this to!”
“If you knew how harshly these two spoke to Class 13, you would understand my actions.”
Because I arrived late, I couldn’t hear everything the two said to Class 13.
But even if you only listen to the latter part, you can tell how these two people blatantly looked down on and ignored Class 13.
“You are making ridiculous accusations.”
But Delon Muller did not believe Damien.
“Emilio and Geliver are kids with outstanding skills to represent the first year! And that’s not all? They come from prestigious families that represent the Empire! And these kids framed Class 13?”
“That’s… … .”
Damian opened his mouth to defend Class 13, then closed it again.
In fact, it was natural that Delon Muller did not believe Damien’s words. Class 13 was such a mess.
If the positions had been the opposite, Damian wouldn’t have believed it either.
“And even if that were true, what’s the problem?”
But Damien couldn’t help but frown at the words that followed.
“What did you just say?”
“If there’s trash on the street, it’s bound to be unpleasant, and if you feel hurt, you’re bound to use harsh language, right? And you’re using that to threaten those two people!”
It’s not that Damien likes class 13. He was just there because he had no choice but to do so due to the principal’s conditions.
But anyway, Damian was in charge of class 13 now. Damian had a duty to take responsibility for class 13 now.
And even though Class 13 may not have been good students, they had no responsibility for this incident.
“Not only are you not from the Empire, but you can’t even tell right from wrong as a teacher! Someone as unqualified as you can no longer be in the Academy! I will call a meeting tomorrow and raise the issue, so you know that!”
Damien stared at Delon Müller without saying a word.
‘You’re annoying.’
There was nothing that was not irritating, whether it was his sudden appearance and picking a fight, or his words and actions.
Of course, Delon Muller’s power alone would not be enough to drive out Damien, since Damien was hired by the Academy by order of the Emperor.
But it was clear that it would be a hassle. I didn’t have time to educate students. I couldn’t waste time on something like that.
“Well, is it really necessary to call a meeting?”
There was a need to somehow cover this up.
I wanted to smash that unlucky face to pieces.

“Why don’t you just verify your qualifications right here and now?”
“You want me to verify it? How?”
“I entered the Academy as a swordsmanship instructor. So there is only one way to prove my qualifications, right?”
“… … Are you suggesting we have a duel?”
A moment of hesitation passed over Delon Muller’s face.
Delon Müller had a great ability to teach others, but his own skills were not that great.
Besides, Damian was the winner of the Helian competition. The gap between the two was obvious.
“Can you say that you have proven your qualifications then?”
It’s easy to beat Delon Muller, but even if you fight a fight where the result is obvious, you can’t properly humiliate Delon Muller.
“How about we practice only using Imperial Swordsmanship?”
At those words, Delon Müller’s eyes lit up.
“… … With only the formal swordsmanship?”
“As far as I know, all swordsmanship classes at the Academy are based on the Imperial Sword. If you can prove how well you understand it, wouldn’t that be enough to qualify?”
Delon Muller’s expression changed strangely at Damien’s suggestion.
“Can you promise me that if I win, I will leave the academy without complaint?”
“I promise. But if I win, Lord Müller must also acknowledge that I will perform my duties as an instructor.”
Delon Muller thought for a moment, then said with a confident look on his face.
“Good. Then let’s start right away.”
* * *
And so the duel between Damien and Delon Muller took place.
The two stood opposite each other, preparing for a duel. Damian began to flip through the Imperial Swordsmanship book he had brought with him in advance.
“Teacher, how about we change the rules now… … ?”
Oliver spoke cautiously from Damien’s side.
“Oliver is right. Fighting Delon Muller with the Imperial Sword? That is reckless.”
Penelope also clung closely to Damian.
“Teacher, that man is so intelligent that he can handle the visions of other families.”
“Not only that. Having served as an instructor at the Academy for a long time, I’m sure your understanding of the Imperial Sword’s methods is beyond your imagination.”
Oliver and Penelope talked nonstop.
Damian looked at the two with a dumbfounded expression.
“Why are you suddenly pretending to be worried about me?”
At those words, both of them looked away with embarrassed expressions.
“Ah, anyway, no matter how great you are, teacher, beating that human with imperial swordsmanship… … .”
“It will be difficult. I am not saying this to disrespect you, sir.”
“Well, that person would know better than me, who just started learning yesterday.”
At those words, the two people’s expressions became blank.
“What did you just say?”
“I just learned the Imperial Swordsmanship yesterday.”
“But you challenged that human to a duel?”
“Are you in your right mind now?”
Oliver and Penelope shouted without realizing it, but when Damian glared at them without saying anything, they immediately buried their heads in the ground.
“I’m sorry, I made a slip of the tongue!”
“I’ll just let you pass this once.”
“Go, thank you!”
The two people breathed a sigh of relief and got up.
“Watch closely from behind. This is also part of the lesson.”
At that moment, as Delon Muller walked out into the center of the training ground, Damien also walked.
“Sir Damien, are you really sure?”
Delon Muller said with a confident look on his face. Damien laughed.
“I think I know what you’re thinking. You’re underestimating the Imperial Sword, which is just basic swordsmanship.”
As Delon Müller said, the Imperial Sword was considered the basic sword in the Empire.
Many knights of the empire considered it a stepping stone to pass through the Imperial Sword Code.
“But that is a big mistake. The Imperial Sword is a sword technique that was personally created by His Majesty the First Emperor. The more you learn it, the deeper it becomes.”
Delon Muller drew his training sword. With a twist of his wrist, the sword elegantly cut through the air.
“I’ll show it to you now… … What are you holding now?”
Delon Müller asked, pointing to Damien’s hand. The weapon Damien was holding was none other than a hexagonal club.
“It’s not a fight, so weapons aren’t that important, right?”
“That’s… … that’s true… … .”
Delon Muller spoke to Damien with a look of uncertainty on his face.
“Let’s see how well someone from the Apple Kingdom can wield the Empire’s swordsmanship!”
As he said this, Delon Muller quickly closed the distance.
* * *
Imperial swordsmanship.
Despite its simple name, it was a swordsmanship with a terrifying history, having been created by the first emperor of the empire.
Although it is considered basic forensic science in today’s world, it actually had quite a bit of depth.
There are five movements in total in the Imperial Sword Technique.
The movements themselves were simple, but all the movements had a connection.
Therefore, the number of derived attacks was infinite. Depending on how they were combined, the risk of the technology changed.
‘You dare challenge me to a fight using the Imperial Sword!’
Whenever he taught knights, Delon Muller emphasized the Imperial Sword. This sword technique contained all the basic skills a knight should have.
How dare you challenge me to a duel using imperial swordsmanship? And that too from a foreign knight?
“Let’s see how well someone from the Apple Kingdom can wield the Empire’s swordsmanship!”
Delon Muller swung his sword wildly in anger.
The first form of imperial swordsmanship.
A swift sword that was created based on the assumption of a first strike and a fatal blow rushed in, tearing through the air.
At that moment, Damien Haxen struck with his club. Delon Müller, who saw it, snorted.
‘A trajectory that seems to draw a circle… … Are you planning to attack me in the 4th form? You’re trying to deal with me in such a classic way!’
As Damien Haxen blocked the attack, Delon Müller looked set to continue the third form.
The third form was a technique to deflect the enemy’s attack and stab the shin. If you want to avoid this, then this time use the fifth form…
At that moment, the club and the sword collided. At that moment, Delon Müller parried the attack of Damien Haxen.
At the same time, he twisted his waist. He turned his body and thrust the tip of his sword into Damien Haksen’s groin… … .
At that moment, Delon Müller saw Demian Haxen staring at him with emotionless eyes.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
Damien Haksen struck the iron sword that was about to stab the man with the handle of his club. The iron sword bounced down.
“What?”
A look of bewilderment appeared on Delon Muller’s face. It was not in his calculations that the third form would be blocked in this way.
“My, my second form… … ! Do it like this… … !”
Just as Delon Müller was horrified, Damien Haxen hit him on the head with a club.
Delon Muller’s eyes darkened with excruciating pain.
* * *
“It’s nothing special.”
Damien looked down at the unconscious Delon Muller and said.
“There are two of you.”
Damian spoke to Emilio and Geliber. The two looked at Damian in surprise.
“Take good care of her. Do you understand?”
But the two men looked at Damien Haxen with trembling eyes. Then Emilio asked questioningly.
“This, this is invalid!”
“Invalid?”
“Oh, the technique of striking with the handle is not part of the Imperial Sword Code! You broke your promise to duel!”
Damian clicked his tongue at Emilio’s protest.
“When that man wakes up, ask him whether I used the Imperial Sword Technique or not.”
“Of course not… … .”
“It seems that you are obsessed with formalities and will never reach a high level.”
Damien clicked his tongue. Then his expression suddenly distorted.
“But are you talking back to me now?”
Emilio and Geliver’s faces turned pale. The two men hurriedly disappeared, carrying Delon Muller.
As the three people disappeared, silence fell upon the training grounds.
“oh my god…….”
“The same masterclass so easily… … .”
Class 13 muttered with astonished faces. Damian looked back at Class 13 and said.
“Now that the intruders are gone, shall we start training again?”
The faces of all the members of Class 13 suddenly distorted. Some even had expressions that looked like they were going to die.
But there were others who didn’t.
Oliver and Penelope.
The two men looked at Damien Haxen with determined expressions.
* * *
That night, Damien received unexpected guests.
“What are you guys doing here?”
Damien asked Oliver and Penelope, who were standing in front of the faculty quarters.
The two men shouted at Damien with determined faces.
“I really want to beat my older brother, Geliber, in this school year’s exams!”
“I want revenge on that son of a bitch, Emilio!”
The two of them knelt on the floor at the same time and shouted with desperate faces.
“I will endure any training! Just let me win!”
Damian bent his knees so that he was level with the two men.
“Does that mean… … you want to give up physical training and swordsmanship and focus only on sparring?”
“yep!”
“Yes!”
“Yes, I see. I understand what you mean very well.”
Damien said, patting both of them on the shoulder.
Oliver and Penelope looked at each other’s faces, smiling brightly.
“no.”
But the smiles on both their faces could not help but disappear as the words continued.
“Are these kids crazy? There’s not much time left until the exam, and they’re going to change their subjects in the meantime? And the reason for that is to beat the top and second place students in their grades?”
Damien said, pulling out a club from subspace.
“It won’t work. Let’s have some time for ‘persuasion’ after a long time.”
