The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 66. I’m running out of time

“What are you talking about?”

“… Explosion?”

People around me slowly began to notice the black smoke rising after the binge drinking.

In the middle of the city, an unexpected incident occurred that no one could have foreseen.

“Teacher?”

In response, Wayden called out to his teacher, but no answer came back.

Her expression hardened as she focused her eyes on the rising smoke screen.

Yes. Something happened that even she couldn’t overlook.

She is the one who maintained her composure even when she was in front of her barbarian-born boy.

“Leading Manager.”

After a brief silence, she spoke.

“The teacher will check that, so you should go back to her staff.”

“Yes? To be back…….”

“Don’t worry.”

She looks back at the bewildered Wayden.

A caring smile was drawn on her lips, as always. A gentleness that contrasts with the seriousness of the past.

“Anyway, there are a lot of problems because it is located on the border, but it is well protected. Even more so, if it’s not related to school, I wouldn’t be able to reach out to kids like you.”

“… ….”

“… Then see you later.”

A teacher who quietly advances through the crowd.

Even so, Waden couldn’t bear to follow her.

Even though the current remarks are teaching us that this is not a light incident.

‘… Yeah, she must be stepping down.’

Sorry for not too short a time.

With the attention of many bystanders turning to the explosion site, Waden finally decided to distance himself from it.

She is a better and more experienced person than he is. The judgment she makes, she must be more right than herself.

That’s what she realized while thoroughly carrying out her education for the past three days.

After making her judgment, as Wayden progressed along the road, his footsteps came to a halt as soon as his eyes could reach a certain place.

People who go in the opposite direction to where the public is interested. Its footsteps were directed toward a remote alleyway nearby.

Even so, I could sense something suspicious from the way she looked around and crouched down.

‘…… What?’

From such an appearance, Waden felt quite familiar.

Because the problem children who hid that they had committed problems in school usually reacted like that.

‘No way… ….’

A situation that cannot be overlooked.

Weyden glanced around for a moment, then, pressing down on her hat, began quietly following them.

As a leader, she knows how to kill enemies.

If you change the nature of the mana wrapped around your body gently, you can block most of the noise, and if you distort the light, you can easily hide your body even in places such as shadows.

Melting into the darkness of the alley like that, what Weyden faced was the sight of those following her joining those wearing hoods as well.

“Why are you so late?”

“I’m sorry. It took a while to install because there are so many eyes.”

‘Party.’

Wayden is alert to suspicious conversations.

However, they didn’t even notice Waden’s presence and just chatted.

“Did you install everything else?”

“Don’t worry, it will explode in no time.”

“Didn’t that just explode before the time was up? I think the installation went wrong.”

“To make a deal, I need a place to attract attention, so I blew up at least one. Don’t pick me up when you know everything.”

Installation, signals, explosions… ….

Every single word spoken in the conversation was unrelated to the previous explosion.

What’s more, a deal. Could it be that they are trying to do black trade in this city?

In a city built on a borderline where all the countries on the continent are interested and investing?

“But are you really okay?”

“hahahaha, when did we care about the aftermath?”

“Yes, let’s just do as Danju-nim tells us.”

Saying that, the suspicious people proceeded to the back of the alley. Waden, who had overheard their conversation, looked back in the opposite direction of where they were going, breaking out in a cold sweat.

‘This is……. Dangerous.’

The moment when the tenacity cultivated as a leading member was precisely matched.

However, there was no choice but to be hesitant to interfere any further.

He is not a guard, but a leader. It’s because I’m in a position to be in charge of the situation that happened in the category of students.

If you face criminals who have gone beyond troublemakers outside the suburbs, the correct answer would be to back down as my teacher said.

Nevertheless…

‘What if I miss them here?’

I don’t know what the transaction you mentioned is, but the moment the process is over, they will indiscriminately set off explosives installed in various places to escape.

The city will be in chaos and there will be casualties.

But the danger comes next.

‘In the first place, why is black trade being carried out here, where countless countries have focused their attention?’

Isn’t there a more proper place than this mess if you’re comfortable trading?

Nevertheless, the reason why they came to this city, even taking risks, is probably because this city is the place to use the goods that will be handed over through trading.

I don’t know the details, but an incident more dangerous than using explosives…….

Foreseeing that, leaving them to leave like this. Would that be an easy decision?

‘…… Hour.’

A breathless Weyden followed them, placing his hand on the inside of his uniform.

‘I’m running out of time.’

What was inside was given to me by my father.

It was something that Wadeen never wanted to use in his life, including his school life.

‘Father, this is…… ?’

‘I don’t know what would happen if I became a leader, so there’s nothing wrong with keeping it. The academy has already given permission, so you should be able to have at least one.’

‘…… It’s a shameful statement, but the current academy is not considering the use of weapons.’

‘Yes, I hope you don’t use it.’

It was nothing but a desperate feeling that returned to the determined attitude he had shown at the time.

As if it taught me that love for my children is the truth even though I have indirectly contributed to countless deaths.

‘Wayden, you must never misuse what I have given you. It’s just a talisman or a last resort……. Keep in mind that it should be used only when there is a threat to your safety, not when dealing with an incident.’

An item that is only permitted to be used when there is no back.

It’s not like he’s never had that kind of experience before, but even so, Waden just held this weapon in his arms and never drew it.

If what you are facing is not something that can be solved at the student level.

If what you are facing is a gigantic malice on a scale beyond that of the students.

-Click.

Wayden, who couldn’t bear to overlook it, felt the cold touch in his arms and chased after those who were advancing to the other side of the alleyway.

***

And the same time.

When black smoke rose from the middle of the campus, everyone in the academy, albeit for a moment, turned their attention to the place where the explosion had occurred.

A situation where black smoke can be confirmed just by looking out the window right now.

However, there were not many people who were wary of that alone.

“What are you talking about?”

“Let’s try a magic experiment somewhere.”

“For something like that, the place where the smoke rises is a bit strange… ….”

“Well, if an incident happens, the leadership will take care of it.”

“Didn’t the leader say that they were camped out now?”

“Then the teachers will take care of it.”

Even if an incident happens, this academy will solve it without any problems.

As much as it has been so far, the students had the belief that it would be so in the future.

However, such trust is also the result of many people’s hard work in a place where the eyes can not reach.

Unlike them, Maya, one of the objects of such trust, was not relieved by the current situation.

“Oh, Chairman? Where are you going in such a hurry…….”

“I’m sorry, everyone. I’ll borrow you for a while!”

Maya quickly steals tools and school supplies from students she encounters while running through the hallways.

She finally put the large amount of school supplies she had secured into her belongings, and she immediately frowned at the graphite seen through the window in the hallway.

‘Yes, seeing it up close, it’s clear. That’s definitely an explosion from gunpowder!’

Gunpowder.

It is mainly used for bombs and weapons, and of course it is forbidden to bring it to the academy.

Although it may be less powerful than magic, unlike magic, it can cause an explosion even in a place that has nothing to do with an individual, and even that falling power can greatly increase damage depending on the amount and usage.

There is someone who intentionally brought such a dangerous item here…….

Wouldn’t it be strange to consider this academy ‘activating terrorism’ with malicious intent?

‘It’s too late to go up the stairs one by one!’

Eventually, Maya, standing where the source of the explosion was best seen, immediately opened her window and jumped under it.

A building boasting a height of several stories or a body reinforced with mana can sufficiently alleviate the impact.

The important thing is next.

Converting the shock from the fall to the floor into repulsive force, it took off and stared at the place where the smoke rose.

‘The destination is the bell tower.’

A lofty tower mainly used to announce the time on campus.

The black smoke rising from above tells us that it is the source of the explosion.

-Puuuong!

As soon as the explosion tore apart the black smoke erupted again, Maya also expanded the mana she had gathered in her legs and sprinted towards it.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Currently, there is no leading team… …. In the case of the mercenaries or teachers who are temporarily in charge, they will eventually respond later than the leadership team.’

No matter how skilled they are, they will be slower to deal with than those who are most familiar with the existing system.

In other words, the only person who can go there immediately is the one who faced this situation first.

-Tata-tat!

Soon after arriving in front of her bell tower, she immediately took her leap and began to spur up the wall as if running.

The power of the gravity-defying dash only stopped when it reached the end of the bell tower.

“Stay there!!”

Soon, Maya arrived at her destination and pointed the nib she held in her hand at the people in front of her.

The moment the sharp nib was forged with mana.

It’s not her proper weapon, but she has the knack of turning even such an object into a weapon.

“Be quiet… ….”

Maya pointed the weapon at the person in front of her and said.

“Be gentle, please turn your head to where I am.”

“… ….”

At that call, the man took off the black hood he was wearing and quietly turned his head to where Maya was.

“It’s been a while, Chairman. Have you been at peace?”

The moment we met, it was a welcome voice.

There was nothing hostile about it.

As if he had no awareness of the sins he had committed.

“Ludger Vistas… …. You must have been the head of the festival research department, right?”

“Ow~ It is an honor to remember such a lowly body. In fact, we only met face-to-face like this only once half a year ago.”

A thin and haggard impression, as if he hadn’t eaten or slept properly.

But what was painted on that face was a gentle smile. If you only look at the eyes, you can’t see it as normal.

“… Yes, I can’t help but remember. Because that one-time meeting was the day the disciplinary committee was convened.”

Maya could not erase her hostility towards such a person.

It’s an academy where there are always problem children, but especially for students who commit crimes that fall under the category of ‘felony’, a disciplinary committee is convened within the school.

The leadership team and the student council worked hard to arrest the student. And a meeting that even mobilized a number of teachers who had the right to record in the student record book…

At the time the disciplinary committee was convened, the opponent not only filled the maximum detention period of one month in the punishment ward, but was also ordered to stay away from home after school for half a year, and furthermore, all medals and scholarships given to those with excellent grades were forfeited. He was also a person who suffered disadvantages such as

In fact, a person of interest who received the maximum punishment possible at this academy, excluding expulsion.

“I would have said that at the time. You can only watch it once……. Say.”

Yes, the reason the disciplinary committee was convened at the time was because the person in front of me had attempted to smuggle gunpowder into this academy.
