I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor at the Academy

(67)

arranged marriage

I ate breakfast at the restaurant and left.

Normally, I would have gone straight to the teachers’ office, but today I stopped by the administrative office on the first floor.

When I opened the door and went in, it was morning and there were not many people.

“Mr. Kang? Are you going to give up your pass?”

“Ah, that’s not it, I saw the promotion review yesterday. So, I’m going to update my Hunter rank.”

“Oh, I see you’ve been promoted. So, are you a B-rank now?”

“no. It was originally B-rank, so now it’s A-rank.”

“Wow, I heard that promotion to A rank is very difficult… congratulations.”

“thank you.”

“Go to Mr. Yejin… uh? The person in charge hasn’t arrived yet. Well, since all you need is a hunter’s ID, give it to me, and I’ll copy it and deliver it to the person in charge.”

“Thank you if you do. I am here.”

I took out my A-rank hunter certificate and handed it to the staff.

I became an A-rank hunter, but my allowance didn’t increase much.

It is not applied retroactively, so it will be applied from next month, and there is no allowance at all during the vacation, but I still have to take care of what I need to take care of.

I left the administrative office and arrived at the faculty office.

When I came to my seat after taking my commute card, Mr. Park, who sat next to me, was unpacking his bag as if he had just arrived.

“Good morning.”

“Today is a little later than usual. Oh, I said I was going to see the promotion review on Sunday. How did it go?”

“Of course it stuck. That’s why I stop by the administrative office to register and come back.”

“Oh, congratulations. By the way, does the administrative office take care of your work at this time?”

“The person in charge hasn’t come yet, but he said that he only needed a photocopy of his hunter ID, so he said he would deliver it and take care of it if I copied it. I think the teachers in the administrative office are very kind.”

“What is kindness… . The last time I went early and wanted to do something, he refused like a knife to come during business hours.”

“Yes? I also got an outing pass in the morning and got it, but they did it without saying anything.”

“Mr. Park is a married man with a belly, and Mr. Kang is a pretty boy. Except for the director, all the teachers in the administrative office are female, isn’t it natural?”

Mr. Choi, who was next to me, helped me with a word.

“Ah, why are you like this in the morning? The teachers in the administrative office must have been busy at the time.”

“To be busy. When I was Mr. Kang’s age, I also had a line of girls who said they liked me… The years are savage.”

“Mr. Park, you can’t lie and say you can’t confirm.”

“No, it’s true… . This is really unfair to me, should I bring a picture of me to college tomorrow?”

“It’s a picture no one will be curious about… Mr. Kang, you passed the promotion screening, but why don’t you have a drink?”

“yes. I already found an amazing eel restaurant. Shall we go today?”

Why didn’t this word come out?

But I have a reinforcement shield.

“I would like to, but because of the enrichment class… I think it will be difficult.”

“Ah, it was.”

“Since the festival is next week, the preliminaries will be this week, right?”

“Yes. It’s this Wednesday.”

“If the kids go to the finals, will you continue to strengthen your preparations for the finals?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“If you want to drink this with Mr. Kang, you have to hope the kids leave.”

“I mean.”

“Since Sejin is one of the students in my reinforcement class, that must be a bit difficult.”

“Ah, it was. how are the other kids? Sejin, of course, will go up. I heard that the first graders are leaving too.”

“Even though it’s a freshman year, everyone is working hard, so I think there will be good results if we follow the match luck a little.”

“They say the first year is hard, but there are a lot of hardships.”

“hahahaha. I will die.”

“Don’t die. We should have a drink after the festival.”

Seriously, it’s alcohol all the way.

I said that I would be able to afford it anyway, and after doing some work, it was time for the meeting.

Since the next week is a festival, I was mainly in charge of role sharing because of preparation, but I was not the homeroom teacher and was already in charge of supplementary classes, so I was not given any other duties.

After the meeting, I immediately went up to the swordsmanship training ground.

I was going to check stocks and do some work before class, but it’s noisy outside.

I went out with the trick to tell them not to make noise and run at a canter if they came early, but all the guys from the swordsmanship class were there, not only in the morning class, group A, but also in the afternoon class, group B.

“What is everyone?”

“I want to congratulate you on your promotion, sir.”

“Didn’t you say you passed?”

Yesterday, a lot of things happened, and no one asked me if I passed after the message asking students to look carefully, so I didn’t talk about it.

“Did you fall down?”

“no. Of course I passed.”

“Anyway, Lee Jin-soo. Our teacher can’t do that.”

“Congratulations, sir.”

“congratulations.”

It looks like I came early to congratulate you, but the only thing I think about is our students.

They even made a cake out of chocolate pie and put candles in it to blow it. I wondered if it was too much of a fuss since it wasn’t my birthday, but I still blew out the candles, thinking of the sincerity of the kids who had prepared it.

“Thank you all for congratulating me. Now, then, group B should go to class quickly, and group A, since they came early, let’s do a canter first.”

“Yes? no… Teacher, we came early to congratulate you, but what are you doing… .”

“Sir, we’ll go, then we’ll go.”

When it was announced that they were going to run, Eun-soo, Eun-seo and other Group B kids went back without even looking back.

“Then we will go again and come back later.”

“Uh-huh, no matter what the reason, since we arrived early, we have to train. Let’s go with Min-hee at the front and Jin-su at the back, and let’s do just 30 laps lightly.”

“Yes? Thirty laps is more than usual.”

“Teacher is too much!”

“Go away, evil teachers!”

“I was going to finish class early today and order chicken… I can’t help it if you don’t like it.”

The power of chicken was amazing.

“Kim Min-hee, hurry forward.”

“Lee Jin-soo, you go back quickly.”

“I want to run fast!”

The guys who were booing and messing around a little while ago are moving faster than anyone else.

“Is it one chicken per person?”

“of course. But Lee Jin-soo, you’re adding five laps.”

“Yes? why only me… .”

“They call me a bad teacher.”

“No, sir… It’s not just me… .”

“Your voice is the loudest so I can’t hear the other kids? Don’t think of fooling around, I’ll check with the kids.”

Kang Shin-hyeok told me that Se-jin came forward because he was a student he taught, but he is neither the homeroom teacher nor in charge of swordsmanship in the third year.

It is clear that the guy who only taught for a couple of extra hours a day thinks Sejin is special.

Our Sejin has great talent, but he looks just like my mother, so he’s pretty good.

Of course, it is really disgusting that Sejin, who is both a teacher and a student, has such feelings for us.

But if you have the ability, the story is different.

I don’t like her face too much by my standards, but she’s skinny and pretty, so it’s a style that girls will like, so I think it’s okay to have Sejin as a partner.

Being a teacher and a student takes a bit of time, but in a little while it will be December and Sejin will graduate next year, so it won’t matter.

At twenty-five, the age difference between Sejin and Sejin isn’t that big… It seems fine.

There is no information such as origin or family, but that’s it. It’s enough if you ask the guild staff to find out later.

No, there is no need to investigate.

Even if you don’t have a good family or background in the first place, if you have those skills at 25, backgrounds are meaningless.

I thought it would be better to talk to Sejin to some extent, so I called right away.

-Yes. father.

“What are you doing?”

―I was in the middle of an assignment in the study room. I should have gotten it sooner… sorry.

“done. Rather, I went to the association today as an examiner, and I met a teacher who said he would teach reinforcement.”

―Ah, he said he was going to the screening today.

“I’m the teacher who teaches you, so after the screening, we talked about it separately, but you were very bold.”

-Yes?

“He said Sejin said you collapsed last Friday?”

-ah… No big deal. It’s just because I’m a bit tired, but I’m fine now.

“I didn’t think much of it either, but that teacher Kang Shin-hyeok was a complete fuss.”

―Mr. Kang originally thought a lot about his students… .

“You really tried to teach me how much you know if you know about you on the subject of only two extra hours of teaching. In my own way, Sejin even made an absurd remark that you could never win the WHCU competition.

—… .

“Did Se-jin say anything to that child?”

―Um, that… .

“Well, that can’t be. After all, the child doesn’t even know what to do. I’ll take care of my children’s education, so I told him to go, but if he won, he even challenged me to a duel, saying not to interfere with you.”

-chaff… A duel? Are you a teacher and a father? Didn’t you accept it? The teacher is a B-rank hunter… .

“That bastard was promoted to A rank today. Of course, even so, it wouldn’t make sense to challenge me to a duel. I was dumbfounded, so I accepted it with the thought of scolding you.”

-Yes? Did you duel? Is the teacher okay?

look at this guy

He said he had a duel with me, but Kang Shin-hyeok only asks how he is doing.

For a moment, I thought it was a shame, but I wonder if it was because Sejin thought he was no match for me.

Maybe Sejin has some feelings for the child.

I was thinking of telling Sejin to do well with him anyway, so it’s okay.

“He wasn’t just a guy with a mouthful. He is fine.”

-really? It’s what your father saw. That’s fortunate.

“Kheum, that’s true, but the staff in charge of the barriers in the arena were all exhausted, so we couldn’t win.”

―You said you couldn’t win?

“I had to take care of the fallen employees, and I couldn’t help it because he said he had a prior contract.”

-ah… .

“If I continued, of course this father would have won, but he is also quite capable. I just got promoted to A rank, so it will take some time, but I will definitely become an S rank hunter.”

―I also think that Mr. Kang is a person with excellent skills.

“It’s as if I’ve won, but it didn’t come out anyway, and I couldn’t continue the duel, so I decided to try another way.”

-Yes?

“First of all, I decided not to interfere with your training at all, as he suggested. If you win, I decided not to interfere with you in the future.”

-ah… Yes.

“Instead, if Sejin didn’t win, that kid decided to drop out of school and come to the Ares Guild.”

―You said that the teacher quit school and came to the Ares Guild?

“I’ve said it before, but he’s no ordinary skill. Of course, we should bring such talented people to our Ares Guild.”

―Then are you telling me to lose on purpose in the WHCU competition? that’s… .

“You don’t have to do that. Wouldn’t it be difficult to win the championship without the father’s help anyway? Even if he left it to you, he said that he would get better grades than my method, but he said he would help you train during vacation, as if he wasn’t confident… . Well, I promised him the tournament, so you can take care of it and stay close to him.”

―What does it mean to stay close… ?

“I have to keep my promise, so I will come to the guild, but since I haven’t set a specific period, I don’t know how long it will be. I could say that I will only do it for one year and leave.”

―You meant to get close with the teacher and keep him in the guild… .

“He won’t stay in the guild just because he’s become friends. If he reaches S rank, other guilds will scout him with their eyes open.”

-ah… I guess so.

“So after thinking about it, Sejin should be my partner.”

—… Sir, the teacher?

“Why do you hate him? He doesn’t have a manly face, but he’s handsome and his skills are excellent.”

―No, I’ve never thought of it like that before. And I’m a student and the teacher is a teacher… .

“In February of next year, Sejin, won’t you graduate and become an adult? He said he was only twenty-five, so the age difference wasn’t too long. Well, if getting married early is a problem, he should come to the guild and get engaged first. It seems to me that he has some feelings for you too.”

-Yes? Are you a teacher?

“Seeing that he even asked me to duel even though he only taught me a few reinforcements, he must have a heart. Sejin, if you marry him, the other guilds will also give up.”

-no… Father, the teacher was originally… .

“Are you talking to me now? It’s all for the guild, so don’t talk nonsense and try to build a good relationship with him.”
