42. Becoming the Academy’s Temporary Quartermaster

The place where Hyman’s magic arrived was the academy’s principal’s office, where he worked.

Doha After she fell asleep unconscious, I put the Prius on her cushion chair and covered her with a blanket, and she hugged her and started snoring.

Her face was like that of an angel as she slept in a comfortable position in her world. To the point where I was confused as to whether she was the same person as the woman who had been held in my arms a while ago.

While looking at the view of the academy through the brightly open window, Hyman confirmed that I had laid the Doha Prius down and waved his hand lightly in the air.

Then the window closed automatically and the lock activated with a click. Subsequently, the curtains made of dark red velvet closed silently, completely blocking the light coming in from the outside.

As soon as the curtains were closed, candles placed here and there in the principal’s room were lit, and the room was colored orange, creating a more cozy atmosphere.

“So, how about working at the academy?”

Hyman walked behind the desk where the nameplate was placed and sat down in a chair. He loosened his tie, as if the custom-made academy uniform was quite uncomfortable.

“It was difficult because it was my first time to systematically move, but…”

It was a light question that I would normally have answered without difficulty, but I keep paying attention to what happened earlier.

While I was hesitating, Hyman raised her quill and she took down a page from the top of a pile of papers the size of her seat to her left and began to examine it.

“People can make mistakes. I hope you don’t mind too much. You are a good person.”

“Uh. Yes…”

“But that almost got me in trouble.”

My ears burned at Hyman’s words. It wasn’t at the level of embarrassing, but it was an issue that could have caused a huge social controversy.

Even if it is an academy where you enter at the age of 19, which is recognized as a social adult, it is a place of education. What the hell will happen the moment a group orgy party happens in such a place?

My face heats up just by imagining it.

“Sorry…”

“When a man and a woman live together, she also plays with fire.”

It was not playing with fire, but it almost became a disaster level forest fire.

“On the contrary, I overlooked too much. What kind of a person you were.”

His feathers fluttered gracefully as Hyman quickly signed the papers.

“I am.”

“Dreamers. Very special.”

Hyman, who brought the next document, stroked his beard thoughtfully.

“The information about the dream demon is well known. I didn’t know that magic alone could mess with people’s minds.”

Did I? No, that’s why you would say that.

“That means you’re a great being, so it’s good to hear it as a compliment. I’ve never seen a demon that emits such a vast amount of demonic energy in my life.”

Should I say thank you? That’s why his mouth didn’t come off. So he decided to just keep his mouth shut and listen to what he had to say.

“The Demon King. No, not even the Demon King can do that. You or.”

Hyman finally took his eyes off the paper and looked at me. Then he turned his head slightly to stare at the Doha Prius sleeping behind him.

Following his gaze, I looked at the Doha Prius, which fell into a nap, then focused on him again when I heard Hyman’s voice from the side.

“Unless you’re a world-blessed Doha Prius.”

Hyman stood up and approached the bookshelf and took out an old book.

It was quite thick, but an old book boasting the thickness of my forearm. Hyman, holding the book, opened a certain page to me.

It was an illustration with all sorts of mystical animals drawn, from dragons and angels to demons, and each of them was glaring at the other with eyes full of murderous intent.

Does the countless suns and moons drawn above their heads represent the years that have passed?

“What do you think about tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?”

“The day the new sun rises. The future. The unknown day. Whatever you want to call it.”

A pretty philosophical question came in. My head was still spinning, but I felt my temples ache as I tried to answer a question that required a lot of thought.

“Well, something new, different from today, will happen, right?”

Hyman smiled as soon as he heard my answer.

“Wouldn’t it be similar to expectation and hope, freshness and surprise?”

“That’s right, right?”

“The meaning of those words has faded in this day and age.”

The questions and answers to catch the floating clouds follow. I couldn’t understand what Hyman was saying at all, but he did his best to answer.

After hearing what he said, it seemed like they were similar, so when he nodded and agreed, Hyman closed the book.

“Even this old man, who has only a few days left to live, can feel the wind blowing.”

Hyman’s monologue feels like a passage from a poem.

“You must be blessed.”

Suddenly. It reminded me of a winged woman I had met a long time ago. A woman who used to ask what she wanted to be born again into.

Why did I suddenly think of this?

“Anyway, I ask for your attention on campus. This time I found it by chance and got it sorted out, but next time it will be difficult.”

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t expect this to happen…”

“That’s right. It hasn’t been long since I woke up and I’m not used to it. Maybe it’s not that it’s strange, it’s the original form.”

Since he was originally a dreamer, I wonder if his ability naturally manifests in that direction. Then, it means that accidents like this will happen if I frequently have strange delusions in the future.

“Gwa, is it okay?”

If I was a b*tch and a personality buster, I would have gone around to f*ck women, but unfortunately, I had the concept intact (?).

At the very least, it would be difficult for me to act against moral and moral standards, but if the sudden acceleration button is pressed like today, it will be a big problem.

“Time will take care of this… But since you are so unexpected, I don’t really know. I can’t dissect you, can I?”

It was only for a moment, but when I witnessed that Hyman’s eyes were shining, I quickly waved my hand.

“Ah. Ah. I’m ah, I’ll try my best on my own.”

“I see.”

That old man just smacked his lips like he was really sorry. I saw it!

While seriously contemplating whether he should take out his wings and run away, Hyman returned to his seat and began to focus on the paperwork.

“The dragon princess won’t wake up for a while, so go in first. She’ll be busy in the afternoon.”

“Oh.”

Hyman’s words reminded me of the fireworks set that was supposed to be brought in in the afternoon. I looked around the room and found a clock hanging on the wall.

Scheduled arrival time is 1:30 PM. And the clock was pointing at 46 minutes, more than half an hour.

A big party for wearing clothes that are already drawn in your head. I jumped up, gasped, grabbed the doorknob of the principal’s office, then turned around, remembering that I forgot to say hello to Hyman.

“Go, thanks. I’ll go there first! Thanks!”

“Good job.”

As soon as the meeting with Hyman was over, I ran to the warehouse.

I lamented the urge to fly and how good it would have been if I had a Doha Prius bike, but I was able to get there quickly because I was unexpectedly able to run quite fast.

As expected.

Several wagons rushed into the storage area and employees ran to find the person in charge. From all directions, shouting and clattering.

The scene was truly a struggle. At least some of the wagon’s luggage that had been loaded was in stock, as if who had taken the lead in trying to resolve the situation.

One mortal sin against the staff who were sweating profusely. One more time to the business partners who were upset because the return schedule was delayed because of me.

I put off responsibilities until later and clean up the site first. Fortunately, while I was away, I had completed the cross-checking of the error amount, so I stocked them in order.

Bamir told me that the firecrackers brought in from Balkin are used on the last day of joint training.

It seems to be shot with the same concept as a kind of closing ceremony, but the amount is enormous, it is dangerous because it is an explosive, and the price is also high, so I had to thoroughly check it.

I found out about this very later, but they said firecrackers were banned unless it was an event supervised by the imperial family.

As rumors circulated that the entire cost of the event was supported by the imperial family, everyone was preparing for the event with great care…

But I had an accident today and was late.

If Barmir had told me from the beginning, he would have either not taken on the job at all or paid as much attention as possible. He thought so, and he comforted himself.

After 3 hours of messing around and getting dressed, I began to see students leaving school before I knew it.

Occasionally, students who recognized my face walked past me shyly, but I pretended not to see them and arranged the papers.

The good thing about being busy was that no one talked to me beyond the conversation required for my job as a supply officer because I was so hectic.

I didn’t have time to have a private conversation because I let the exhausted employees go home first even after work was over. Maybe it’s good that the merchants belonging to the Balkin Firm also left the academy in a hurry.

Well, it’s only a matter of time.

“Anyway, time matters.”

As I was cleaning up after being left alone in the noisy warehouse, I could only sigh in frustration.

***

An hour has passed since Raj rushed off to work.

Hyman was still unable to reduce the huge pile of documents in the slightest. This guy’s academy had so many reports, and the present was very different from the old age guarantee promised by His Majesty the Emperor.

‘Let’s relax and set up a laboratory.’

Your Majesty might not have thought much of it, but it’s the first public academy that has just started. There were so many things to do.

“Whoa.”

While looking through the documents related to the upcoming joint training, Hyman got up from his seat to warm up for a while, rubbing his aching back neck.

I’ve never been this tired before, even when I was stuck in the Magic Tower and engrossed in research for a whole week.

Hyman could only lament the passing years.

Because there was another inconvenient being that gently touched his nerves. It was the Doha Prius, stretched out in his chair, still snoring and sleeping with his mouth open.

To be precise, the shy dragon princess who still pretends to sleep.

“It’s Doha.”

“Growl…”

As if answering, the Doha Prius snored in response to Hyman’s call.

Hyman, who couldn’t bear to keep an eye on her awkward performance, decided to wake her up with her voice carrying more weight.

“Stop getting up.”

“…Sniff.”

The open mouth closes and the sound of eating the nose is heard.

Only then did the Doha Prius slowly open its eyes, not moving, only rolling its eyes here and there to grasp its surroundings.

“Sometimes the Kanji is still like that.”

“I don’t know.”

Pussing his lips, the Doha Prius replied in a gruff voice, then pulled up his blanket and covered his face as well.

It was cute watching her with her eyes sticking out, but Hyman wanted her to go back to her room as soon as possible.

“Raz doesn’t seem to know.”

A Doha Prius whose ears turn red as soon as his name is mentioned. Eventually, she pulled up her blanket further and hid herself completely in it.

Seeing her hide away like a child, Hyman, who laughed out loud, looked at her for a moment to see if she could hear her laugh.

However, Hyman finally put her mind at ease, as she seemed to have no time to listen to anyone as she squirmed and hid under her blanket.

“Anyway, I’m surprised. Even you will lose your temper after being possessed by him for a while.”

“aaah!!!”

The Doha Prius, whose seizure button was pressed at Hyman’s words, kicked and fluttered wildly.

Judging by her reaction, Hyman was puzzled as she seemed to remember everything that had happened.

Those who are enchanted and bewitched by the dreamer usually suffer from partial amnesia. For example, most of the citizens rescued by Raj this time did not remember what had happened to them.

Because it’s a dragon. It was already a yard that had already been enchanted, so there was no law that memory loss would not occur.

“It’s the first time a dragon has been enchanted, so I’m very curious. Could you please tell me?”

This is the first case in which a dragon has been affected by mind-related magic. That fact alone is a material that will have a great impact on the academic world.

Of course, Hyman, who doesn’t intend to sell the Doha Prius, which she cherishes like her granddaughter, just wants to satisfy her intellectual needs.

At Hyman’s words, the head of the Doha Prius popped out of the blanket. Her hair, which had been bouncing around so much, was standing up from static electricity.

“Oh, I didn’t get hit!! How dare this Doha Prius is so enchanting!!”

“You didn’t get hit? What did you mean by that? Then before…”

What was the expression and gesture of the girl he saw earlier? Wasn’t it the original look of a woman who longs for affection and love?

If you’re not enchanted…?

The Doha Prius screamed before Hyman could properly think about the question that had popped into his head.

“aaagh!!! Die!! Just die!! You asshole!!”

The Doha Prius, still covered in blankets, uttered self-deprecating remarks and charged forward.

“Do, Doha! Stop!”

Hyman instinctively swung his staff in surprise when he found the Doha Prius recklessly charging at him like a beast.

Then, a triple spread magic circle appeared in front of Hyman like a shield.

“Aaghh!!”

The magic circle created by Hyman collides with the Doha Prius.

Clang!

A magic circle that shatters or scatters like glass hit by a stone. Starting with the first magic circle being shattered, the second and third magic circles in succession were also shattered as she collided with them.

“Oh no!”

It is a triple defense magic that has withstood even the demon king’s blow once. However, it was just a Doha Prius’ body crash and was scattered, so it was shocking to say that it was absurd.

Perhaps it was a struggle to survive from the instinctive unfolding of the magic that prevented the devil’s blow.

Realizing that her magic could not stop her, Hyman slammed her left side to keep her alive. The moment the old man rolled across the floor.

Quang!

A black nameplate flies up and splits in half, and broken desks and fragments fly out in all directions. Along with him, hundreds of documents were scattered like flower petals, creating a rather beautiful sight.

“I’m going to die!!!”

Quang!

With another huge noise, dust and all sorts of debris flew into Hyman’s face and stung him.

Hyman caressed her face, felt the wind passing by, and turned her head towards the wind. There was a large hole in it.

The academy’s walls, made of materials rumored to be hard, boast durability that is strong enough to withstand a few shells.

But, like Hyman’s triple defense magic, the wall was torn apart like paper.

In one wall of the principal’s office, there was a hole large enough for one person to pass through.

“Heh…Heh heh heh…”

Hyman, who crawled closer to the hole, couldn’t help but laugh as he watched the Doha Prius run away, howling and flapping the blanket.
