How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

11 – Instructor Assignment

“A lot of talented people are coming in this semester.”

“yes. There are many celebrities who would be surprised to hear their name.”

“As such, the selection of new instructors is important. Talented instructors must be nurtured in advance, so that talented cadets can also be nurtured accordingly.”

Tristan Hero Academy Swordsmanship Department.

In the period of about two months before the start of the semester, fierce meetings were in full swing within the faculty.

There are many rhetoric attached, but the theme boils down to one.

position selection.

This was the position selection of the new instructors selected through the instructor exam.

“There are definitely a lot of people selected.”

“The more 5th grade instructors, the better. They are the instructors most needed in educational practice.”

The first priority for new instructors is the 5th grade instructor.

This is a position called ‘discipline instructor’ and is mainly responsible for the basic education of cadets, life management, and work assistance for instructors.

In fact, a role that can be seen as similar to that of an assistant.

So, in reality, there were often instructors who did not have a teaching assistant under their command, but only had a discipline instructor.

“The number of 4th grade instructors is three in total. That’s a decent number.”

“Considering that there was only one player last year, this is a pretty good result.”

“Among them, an instructor named Selena has exceptional teaching skills. I interviewed myself, and he is an instructor with the potential to grow into an instructor level in a short period of time.”

Level 4 instructors are called ‘research instructors’.

They consist only of applicants who have taken the instructor test and achieved the best grades, and their role is to help the instructor prepare for academic research or lecture opening.

Sometimes, supplementary lectures are conducted under the observation of instructors, and there were very few instructors who gained popularity and made their names known to the cadets during this process.

From this rank onwards, you will have a position worthy of being called an instructor in earnest.

This is because there are quite a lot of authorities given as much as one level higher, and you can get a private laboratory or have one assistant.

However, three such research instructors came out this year.

This meant that a large number of talented instructors came in, so it was quite something to celebrate within the Swordsmanship Faculty.

“Hmm, and… .”

“Hey, why is the administrative office making such an assignment… .”

But the problem was different.

Most of the instructors clearing their throats and some instructors looking at their surroundings-.

In the Instructor Rank Report issued by the Swordsmanship Faculty’s administrative office, there was an assignment result that surprised everyone.

“The new instructor is the instructor, does this make sense?”

“I heard that it was an overwhelming top score in all subjects of the instructor exam.”

“No, no matter how much, the third-class instructor’s position… .”

“Hmm. Since he is a son of a prestigious aristocrat, I raised the grade to my heart’s content.”

“Ha, I don’t think someone has ever been the chief.”

That’s a 3rd grade instructor.

It is said that one of the new instructors this time accepted the position of performing the role of ‘instructor’ in earnest.

This is a rare case that only comes out once every few years, and it was an assignment that could not be received unless you were a genius.

Moreover, such geniuses do not come as instructors at military academies in the first place.

There was a separate ‘real elite group’ where talented heroes such as the Kingdom Knights, Beast Hunting Units, and Continental Guardians went.

No matter how proud the instructors were at their work, being a military academy instructor was a job that didn’t have much merit for the top heroes.

And so much.

It is even more difficult for a new instructor to occupy the position of instructor (3rd grade instructor).

Incumbent instructors who are working-level workers have no choice but to have a strange dissatisfaction.

Also, the main character is the son of a noble aristocrat.

It was an assignment that made me feel strange.

“Hmmm.”

“Kuhm… .”

but.

Akina Crowfly, the best star instructor in the Faculty of Swordsmanship, was here, so no one could express their dissatisfaction and just stood still.

She is also a genius who received a third-class instructor at the time of the instructor selection.

And likewise, he is a descendant of a prestigious aristocratic family.

If I raised a bigger complaint here, it would be tantamount to declaring, ‘I want to fall out with Akina!’

“Then we need to quickly select a replacement instructor… .”

“hmm… .”

Naturally, ‘selecting a successor’ also became a headache.

New instructors selected through an exam are each placed under the command of a senior instructor, where they learn more specifically about their duties as instructors and cadet education.

They play a kind of role as a gunner and assistant gunner.

Thinking about this, the instructors couldn’t help but notice more.

‘Who will replace that troublesome bastard?’

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s just me.’

He is already dissatisfied with being given the position of a level 3 instructor.

Plus, they appoint a noble nobleman, Nauri, as their successor?

It wasn’t just one or two troublesome things.

In particular, this Noble Instructor is famous for having bad rumors, so anything from a simple title issue to a really bad situation could have happened.

and.

“That new instructor, I will take over as your successor.”

In a situation where everyone noticed -.

Akina Crowfly raised her hand without hesitation.

It was an exciting decision that ended the sluggish meeting at once.

“Joe, great!”

“ha ha ha. If you are Instructor Akina, you can raise your successor instructor better than anyone else. He is also a nobleman.”

Fellow instructors nodded their heads with a smile on their faces.

I didn’t forget to write a report right away in case she changed her mind.

However, Akina seems to have no intention of changing her decision.

Rather, in her eyes…

For some reason, there was an intense curiosity mixed in.

* * *

The peaceful mansion of the Mullique family.

It’s an annex that already feels empty because it’s away from the main building, but it feels quieter than usual because my father and brothers are all in the royal castle.

After all, the geniuses of the Great Magician family.

There are more days when I go out and do work than when I quietly stay at home.

On the other hand, I was sitting in my room alone reading the newspaper.

It seems like a lot, but it’s quite productive.

These days, reading newspapers like this and grasping how the world works after returning has become a hobby.

“Akina Crowfly… He was a better senior than I thought.”

The main character of today’s newspaper is Akina Crowfly.

A few days ago, the female instructor I met while watching the 3rd practice of the instructor exam.

If I passed the instructor exam, he was also the instructor who would become my senior.

Even when I heard the name at the time, I was surprised to remember that my father had spoken so much, but it is even more amazing when I read the newspaper and check his status in the kingdom.

The eldest daughter of the famous Crowfly family, the great hero who saved the kingdom from danger in the Great War five years ago.

Even within the kingdom, it is nicknamed ‘the star of the kingdom’.

It was interesting to think that I was interviewed directly by such a great person.

“Edgar-sama, this is Ray.”

By the time you’re lost in such thoughts.

Ray always came knocking on the door.

“Come in.”

At those words, Ray immediately enters the room.

The bobbed blue hair and beautiful appearance fill the eyes.

The clothes are the same as usual butler clothes.

Actually, it’s strange that there is such a thing as a female butler’s uniform, but Ray, who wears that outfit with a very unique aesthetic sense, was also really great.

There must be only Ray who can handle that.

“A letter has arrived from the Tristan Hero Academy.”

The news she delivered was exactly what I had been waiting for.

“Can you read it?”

“This is an acceptance notice. Perfect score for both the 2nd and 3rd sessions. Additional interviews with working-level staff, interviews with administrative offices, and training demonstrations… .”

Ray, who was reading the correspondence, stopped talking for a moment.

and stares at me

“ray. I am afraid every time you look at me like that.”

“… How did you do it?”

“So what?”

“I can’t believe that these are really Edgar’s grades. That being said, how on earth is the educational demonstration… .”

educational demonstration.

It is a test to determine whether the applicant has the qualifications to become an instructor in the future, and is an additional interview for those who pass the final exam.

Of course, I’m perfect here too.

Teaching was surprisingly easy.

In the first place, he had a history of teaching subordinates while serving as a knight commander, but that long-accumulated educational ability did not easily go anywhere.

“Perhaps being an instructor is a job that suits my aptitude.”

“The Edgar I know is not like that.”

“I must have had this conversation somewhere.”

At that, Ray shook his head.

It seems that he wants to stop this rakugo-like conversation.

Soon I read the last part of the letter.

“Edgar Mulick. You have finally passed the Instructor Examination at Tristan Hero Academy. Your Instructor Grade according to Chief Pass and Administrative Office discussion is Class 3. This notice is from His Majesty the Great King, Lucius de Richel Cleppe… ”

“Wait a minute, Ray.”

This time I am embarrassed and cut her off.

“Well, what grade is it?”

“It’s level 3. It is a level that can serve as an instructor.”

“… I know level 3 is a very difficult level to obtain.”

“Exactly. He is the third-class instructor born five years after Akina Crowfly.”

The first 3rd grade new instructor since the war hero Akina’s grade assignment.

Even I was dumbfounded by this surprising result.

The Tristan Military Academy may not have made an official announcement yet, but if it is known, it will be a major incident that will be featured on the front page of the Kingdom Newspaper.

‘… Even the family would be surprised.’

The new instructor won the position of level 3 instructor.

However, the main character is the second son of Marquis Mulik of the Great Magical Family… ?

It was a nonsense story that even people in my family could not easily believe.

I had told my father a while ago that I was going to take the exam at another university, but honestly, I had no idea that I would get such an overwhelming result.

“Ray, aren’t you surprised by this?”

I ask after seeing her expression, which is calmer than expected.

And Ray answered without blinking an eye.

“I am in a state of shock.”

“… It doesn’t look like that at all.”

“I am in the process of understanding the current situation with the assumption that Edgar-sama may have the qualities of an instructor.”

“It’s a pretty comfortable setup.”

“I have seen and learned a lot.”

… I wish I hadn’t learned that.

Ray was really not too flustered and went through the correspondence.

In fact, from theory tests to practical tests and interviews-.

She is the only family member who has been watching my grades all along.

So I didn’t even know that I was more easily convinced of this result.

Rather, I was more surprised by the process than the result, and through repeated learning, I am now somewhat immune.

‘-But it looks like I’m comfortable now.’

Seeing him joke like this, I feel that Ray’s attitude towards me has changed a bit.

When we first met, it was really different from the stiff and businesslike appearance.

“Then when is your first day of work? I think I need to prepare soon to inform my father.”

There is still quite a bit of time left until the start of the military academy, but the new instructor will be appointed sooner.

There are quite a few administrative tasks that need to be handled.

Curious about that part, when asked, Ray looked at the end of the letter and said.

“Tomorrow.”

“what?”

In an instant, I ask myself like an idiot without realizing it.

Ray’s expression as he checks the date inside the letter is calm.

“Anyway, the Tristan Hero Academy tends to handle things rather hastily.”

“… … .”

This goddamn military academy administration office.

From the last test schedule to this notification of acceptance-.

Why are you asking for such an urgent schedule?

Well, it was time to prepare, and it was Nabal, and it was the momentum to pack up and leave right away.
