Chapter 22 (2/2)
I keep trying to tell hi different What the hell?! Why a mad from pain?
“Knights all talk of their sword skills They think they would get strong the more they perfect their sword skills But when they become able to use the life sword? They do not care for sword skills anymore They just try to learn fancy skills, and do not try to learn more about the life sword’s essence itself The life sword enables one to easily train his body, easily increase his sword’s sharpness, and easily kill his enemies”
I know that much Talent is more important than sword skills Even if your sword skills are bad, if you are talented in using the life sword, your life is all set
“T, that’s talent…”
Crackcrackcrack!
“Kuaaa!”
I thought ere taking a break, and then I got hit again! And it hurts even more than before?!
“Talent? What is fairness to you? Is it fairness if two people tried just as hard, but lost because one was ht, the life sword exists because of talent It is likeit like a coht Then do you mean that it is fine to not train your sword skills under the name of talent?”
“I, I’!”
I can’t even screa feels weird at the saerous!
The instructor see as well, and stepped onme
“There is no fairness in the first place There is no equal talent, no equal abilities, and your class is chosen the moment you are born If you had the power to rule the world, and was of the Royal Fa, but if you were of the peasant’s family, you would be marked as a seed for rebellion”
I’ unconscious, and yet I can still hear well I felt like fainting several tiets clearer instead What the, scary!
“There is no justice in the world There is no evil in the world either The opposite of justice is yet another justice, and the opposite of evil is yet another evil There is nothing in the world without a story, and there is no action in the world that does not have a motive”
No, there is justice in this world There is evil as well Justice is to have that demonic stick disappear, and evil is that stick itself That is the weapon of the devil No, that is so would dare use
“What if there was a le woht to kill him? What if the woether? What if she was someone who had stolen important files from the Empire? What would you do then?”
It is simple You just have to beat them with the stick Then they will say the truth
17, who did not realize this yet, answered with a tre voice
“W, we should listen to their story?”
“What if he had been lying? What if the woman was completely innocent?”
“W, what?!”
I’ you, just beat them with the stick
“That’s why I said, there is no justice… there is no evil as well”
“…Why does that matter?”
“There is no justice Those who talk of it are just trying to convince others that what they’re doing is not wrong Look at the Eest nation in the world, and it is also a place with 700 years of experience It even has two subordinate countries under it Truly, it is an a nation”
I know that well Even though I look like this, I am the son of the emperor of this nation Well, he was one of the reasons who putabout lions pushi+ng off their own cubs off a cliff on purpose? I’m not even a lion… no, in the first place, ould you push a cub off a cliff?
As I coain, and kept talking
“Do you know the origin of this Eainst the Iathered comrades and destroyed corruption, and created this nation”
“A, and therefor, he’s just… kahak!”
H, hurts! Can’t I even respond?!
“But what they did was ultimately a revolt”
“N, no! At the time! There was only corruption!”
“Then are you telling me there is no corruption in the Imperial Palace as of now?”
“…That’s…”
Eh, I can’t refute that I wouldn’t be here if there was no corruption in the first place The i how everyone talks about how you’re going to kill someone after you insult the person once
“There is still corruption There is corruption in any nation of the world Even the Eet rid of corruption is corrupt Now, I speak again: is the Eood, or evil?”
“…Evil?”
That’s not true
“Then is this organization, which trains orphans then uses them like tools, just?”
Nope
“……”
“This is why justice and evil cannot coexist If the Eanization is just as well, and if the Eanization is evil as well What’s iet sad if someone dies? No What if it’s a close friend of yours? You’d be sad You’d be enraged Right That’s it It just depends on whether you know the person or not”
“Then… what must we do…”
“Decide for yourself Do not think about justice or evil Judge a slave, or aa normal ht for an emperor to kill inferior humans, while it is evil for a murderer to kill a normal man This is the reality of the Empire’s laws But do you think you, who lived a little e this 700 year old system? Don’t joke with me You’re not Gods No, even if you are, you still have no right to judge others”
Ohh! Nice! So stop stepping ona hypocrite already!
“Have a desire of your own Take what you want Protect what you need to protect You want to save someone? Save him You want to kill someone? Kill him Do not base your morals around what the world tells you The world is the people, and the people are just numbers They talk of justice just because they are the majority I refuse to believe that I teach idiots who listen to those monkeys”
My desire is already decided My desire is to not get hit by that club, my wish is to use that club, and what Iabused by that club
Once Ithe instructor’s next words
“Next, 17”
Huhuhuhuhu, hahahahaha!
“Y, yes!”
I have been freed!
And as I heard the screa from the other side, I made an oath to myself
…I shall never be hit by that thing ever again!
