The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

34 – Academy Support – 1

***

I went all the way to the academy, but I didn’t get lost.

Of course, it wasn’t that there weren’t trivial events where you encountered bandits or thieves on the way.

Thanks to that, I was able to earn more money without spending a single penny on the travel expenses I received from Lucy.

It was truly heartwarming to know that there are people who take care of money for long-distance travelers.

“This is Cheonyoung. It has been confirmed.”

Is it because of the pass I got after helping out with the experiment? I was able to pass through the gates of the academy without any special checks.

When I entered the street, there were quite a lot of people unlike last time.

It seems like the time has come for the academy to start school.

“Go with your eyes open!”

“What man?! You wear it straight!”

Most of the people who come to the academy say they come from different regions.

Especially in the case of the Faculty of Engineering.

In general, those who use force have strong pride.

There are many people who somehow try to rise higher and somehow try to put others below themselves.

Is that why?

I could see quite a few people arguing or fighting as they passed through the streets.

Although it was said to stop fighting and stick to bargaining, if you think it’s not a fight to risk your life, but a fight to check each other’s skills, this can also be their training.

So let’s just take a look.

-Cheong! Visor!!

Today alone, I have already watched the fight for the third time.

A stout man with short blue hair and a woman with long red hair and brown skin clash their weapons. As I watched the clash of swords and swords and sparks fly, someone tapped me on the back.

“hahahaha. That’s right.”

It was Torben, who was with me during the last experiment.

He smiled and told the woman next to her to wait a moment before greeting me.

“It’s been a while. I’m glad you still look healthy.”

“hahahaha. Yes. How have you been? But the person next to you…”

“This is my wife. Honey. Greetings. I told you before…”

“Ah~! That’s that person. Nice to meet you. I’m Torben’s wife Einsy. Whoa. I’m also working at the academy.”

Seeing her height and well-developed muscles, it seems that she also belongs to the Faculty of Knights. When she asked just in case, she smiled and nodded her head.

“What are you doing here anyway?”

“I was watching a fight.”

“Hmm… It’s a battle of nerves among the freshmen. There are many who have made a name for themselves among the freshmen this time. So I expected it to be quite belligerent… It’s more than I expected.”

“Looks like it. They seem to be doing quite a bit too.”

A blue-haired man with a powerful shot, and a red-haired woman with quick and sharp attacks.

Both of them seem to have less than average skills.

At least on par with Atram.

It seems like you’ve just become an adult, but your skills are at that level. Commendable enough

“It might taste like teaching.”

“Are you interested in being an academy instructor? hahahaha. If you’d like, I’ll make a recommendation right away.”

“Thank you for your words. But what are you doing here, Instructor Torben?”

“I have been collecting materials at the request of Sage Rupid. I had something to see on the street.”

Sage Rupid is a scholar who studies dimensions together with Cecil.

He was a scholar belonging to the school that studies Taegeuk demon swords, and he was one of the people who showed a lot of interest in me.

He recalled the time he had experimented with me before, and I reached out to see the burdens in his and his wife’s hands.

“Half, please. I’ll take it too.”

“No. No. It’s okay. We do it for a fee, too…”

“Do you get paid in the Faculty of Knights?”

“Anyway, there are a lot of things to ask of the Faculty of Magic. In particular, when the semester starts, I have to fight monsters or go to a dungeon. I entrust the investigation of the artifacts I get there to the Faculty of Magic.”

In other words, mutual aid.

Get help during the semester, help during the vacation. Not a bad relationship

“Especially since Sage Rupid is in charge of the same class as me…”

“I see.”

“By the way, Sage Cecil will also need an assistant instructor. He hasn’t found anyone yet.”

What? What else are you talking about?

As I looked, Thorben watched the fight escalate before opening his mouth.

“Originally, if you are in charge of a class, you will have a co-instructor. In the case of a wizard, you have a knight, and in the case of a knight, you have a wizard.”

Like Thorven cooperates with Rupid.

However, Cecil said there were no knights working closely together.

It was a story that although I received help for a short time every semester, I had a hard time at the beginning of the semester because there was no one who cooperated continuously.

“Anyway, Sage Cecil’s personality is like that… You’re a twin, aren’t you? There are a lot of people who don’t like it. Besides, I heard that the selection of collaborating instructors is delayed every time, perhaps because he’s aloof when it comes to finding collaborators. That’s why. Sometimes me or my wife or my fellow instructors help out… But this semester won’t be easy.”

“Why is that?”

“The freshmen are so good… Everyone is so busy training that they won’t be able to afford it. Right now, thinking about my academic schedule, I don’t think I’ll have time to rest… You’d better find a collaborator quickly. We’ll have to find a mercenary who’s qualified as a temporary instructor… I’m worried.”

Hmm. That would be pretty painful.

Anyway, I heard good things.

“I’ll have to dry it soon. Chunyoung-nim. If it’s okay, would you like to have a drink later?”

The fight was intensifying.

If we continue like this, one of the two will be seriously injured, so Torben said as he stepped forward.

“Yes. Then see you next time.”

“hahahaha. I promise. Can I contact Sage Cecil’s lab?”

“Yes. I’ll be happy to wait.”

It would be right for him to contact me when he has time to spare because he is busy with his academic schedule.

Thorben greeted me with a smile and went inside where a fierce fight was taking place. I stopped the fight by casually blocking the swinging sword and sword, and watching him say something to the two, I turned around.

I guess I should go soon too. I passed through the street where the fight was taking place and entered the academy. As soon as I arrived at the academy research building, exchanging greetings with some wise men I had seen before, I immediately headed for Cecil’s lab.

“I’m here.”

As I opened the door and entered, Cecile, who had been buried in piles of books and papers, raised her head slightly.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her, and she’s no different from when I’ve seen her before.

A gown with drugs all over it, a long skirt that goes up to the ankles, and a big old sweater.

Hair down to her waist was loosely tied up.

It is a look to focus only on experiments.

Of course, even if it looks like that, the original version itself is so good that I can’t erase the thought that it is beautiful.

“Welcome.”

“It’s been a while. Lord. How have you been?”

“Well… I didn’t get along well and didn’t sleep. More importantly, how did Count Esthal go? I received the letter Lucy sent me, but I heard that you should listen to the details.”

It’s a story related to Count Estal… I didn’t have anything to hide, so I told her everything, and Cecil, who had been listening in silence, closed her eyes and groaned.

“Hmm… Loneliness. Is it some kind of witchcraft?”

“It’s similar. But is there witchcraft here too?”

“It is said that there are people in the north who use special powers. They live in harmony with nature and use techniques that use the power of nature. I haven’t actually seen them a few times.”

Looks like you saw it. I want to see it at least once.

“There is a shaman among the freshmen who entered the academy this time. Since I am the student in charge, would you like to introduce yourself later?”

“That’s nice. Thank you.”

“Anyway, thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to escape from great danger.”

Cecile politely expressed her gratitude, bowing down to her waist. It’s not a big deal, but I feel like I’m being overly grateful.

“It’s a big enough job… Anyway, as a lord, it’s a bit much to let go of this. Do you have anything you want?”

“I’ll let you know if I need anything later. I don’t have much to say right now.”

“Looks like you’re indebted. If you need anything, just let me know.”

“Okay. But what did you call me this time?”

“I think we need to do more experiments. Behavior experiments… Ah. And I want us to be able to hold and wield the Taegeuk Demon Sword.”

“Huh? Didn’t it happen last time?”

I’m sure the experiment is over, right?

Is something wrong?

“Ah. It was fine in the beginning… But it got weaker as time went on. What the hell did you do?”

“We just had a conversation.”

“That conversation, we couldn’t…”

Taegeuk Demon Sword is originally a bit picky.

How the hell did Taegeuk Sword Emperor tame him…

“Is that all you need to do?”

“There’s that… And there are other experiments. It’s an experiment that other sages besides me want. I want you to help me with that.”

“Okay.”

“Shall we start right away?”

She pointed to the Taegeuk Magic Sword in her room, and I growled as I held it.

“Do you keep making people tired?”

– Ugh…

After trembling as if frightened, the Taegeuk Demon Sword became quiet.

After confirming that, Cecile grabbed the Taegeuk Demon Sword I gave her and began to write something on the document.

As I was arranging the paperwork while checking the other parts after squeezing and releasing it a few times, I remembered the story I heard from Torben earlier.

“Come to think of it, my lord. I heard you need a collaborator for the class… Haven’t you found someone?”

“…Well, I’ll think about it then.”

I guess I couldn’t find it either. Without taking her eyes off her papers, she replied in her characteristic grave tone.

I wondered if it was okay, but when I looked closely, I could see the small ears protruding slightly from the silver hair dyed red.

That doesn’t look right.

“hahahaha. It’s nothing to be ashamed of not being able to save a few people.”

“…It’s noisy. It’s not that I didn’t get it, it’s that I didn’t get it?”
