How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

17 – Storm Instructor (1)

The escort mission was successfully completed.

The new instructors of the swordsmanship department, including Ritbel, were able to reach Tristan without any major problems, and the damage was not too great considering that intermediate level monsters appeared on the way.

Top note at the top of Ritbel-

That’s why I was greeted by the person who would become Kayla’s father.

Just like the name at the top, his name was Ritbel.

“It is a sincere honor to meet the son of the Grand Marquis House.”

“Now I am just one instructor. It’s okay if it’s not too high.”

“Even so, the noble blood does not disappear. Besides, didn’t you protect our guild with your outstanding skills? There are no words to describe how grateful I am.”

“… Embarrassed.”

Ritbel was a merchant who definitely wanted to repay the help he received.

As for me, I just took part in the escort mission because I seemed interested, and I just went out on my own because an intermediate level monster popped out by chance… It didn’t seem natural to him.

Compensation equal to 5 times the existing commission rate.

As if even that was not enough, he took out a sword he had been holding as an item in the guild and handed it to me.

“This is Galid, the treasured sword I brought from Ben-Hur Kingdom across the sea.”

“… Can you give me this treasured sword?”

“I’m giving it to you because it’s Edgar-sama. You already deserve it.”

“Looks pretty expensive for an escort mission.”

“I heard that you taught my daughter too.”

“I heard everything.”

but.

There was no way that such a lively and passionate Kayla would not have told Ritbel about me.

Considering her personality, I would probably have been portrayed as a great benefactor and noble.

The person who helped me untie my feet with one piece of advice and made the ‘second fork in the road’ bloom.

… If you look at the results, that’s right.

Anyway, that’s how we said goodbye to the Ritbel Chamber of Commerce.

“See you when class starts, Kayla.”

“Yes, Instructor Edgar!!”

Kayla greeted him with his characteristic bright face and promised to meet again next time.

She is a hero who has been confirmed to be enrolled as a cadet in the swordsmanship department this semester, so you should be able to meet her soon.

Anyway, Ray and I arrived at Tristan after many twists and turns, and soon we moved in the direction where the Hero Academy was located.

ah.

There was also one happening before going.

“Oh, you bastard! Are you sure you stayed quiet even though you had that much skill? To let us suffer!”

“Keuk… We can’t even do instructor activities anymore! done! It’s over!”

It was Paul and Anna who couldn’t fix the ankle that had been harpooned even though the heroes of ＜The Cleric＞ immediately clung to it.

The two of them showed their animosity toward me with angry faces.

They don’t seem to know yet that I’m a nobleman, even a son of a high-ranking nobleman.

Since I was receiving treatment just now, it seems that I haven’t heard any information about me.

But there was no room for me to say anything.

Chak-.

A butler stands in front of them and declares with cold eyes.

“I will inform you. The name of this person standing in front of you is Edgar Mullick. He is the second son of the Grand Magician Marquis Mullique, and the hero assigned as the new instructor of the Tristan Military Academy. If you speak freely with that pierced mouth one more time, I will make it clear that you can be taken away and severely punished for contempt of nobility at any time within the kingdom.”

… For some reason, it was Ray with a much harder expression than usual.

In addition, the character of the words that are brought out is also not easy.

The Great Magician Family, the Marquess of Mullique, the offense of insulting nobles, severe punishment… .

There are no words that feel light.

Anyway, the important thing is that it left a strong impression on the other person.

“… … !!”

“Uh, what is that… .”

Paul and Anna’s expressions quickly become contemplative.

Maybe you didn’t understand Ray’s words.

Or was it because I was embarrassed because I understood?

Sudden Papabak- He seemed to be distracted by the incoming information.

‘In fact, the crime of insulting the nobility is meaningless… .’

Of course, as the keynote of the kingdom changed to meritocracy and heroism, the ‘crime of insulting the nobility’ became a fairly nameless system.

For the crime to be concluded, it must go through complicated proofs, and a more difficult trial is needed to lead to punishment.

However, Ray’s purpose is to make it clear that I am an aristocrat.

In doing so, it was to have a ‘reason’.

“You don’t have to go to the crime of insulting the nobility. If you continue to use such an aggressive tone towards Edgar, we will consider it a challenge and threat to the Mullique family. We will actively respond from now on. If you are curious about the response of the Mullique family, you are welcome to challenge yourself. Please, be aware of your position and act within your means-.”

A warning from the non-stop pouring rays.

Although it was Paul and Anna who ignored me, I mourned them inwardly.

‘Poor boys. Ray got it wrong.’

I can’t stop Ray in that state.

No, I’ve never even seen a Ray like that in the first place.

I learned a new side of my butler that I had never seen before thanks to two oddballs, so maybe I should be grateful to them on the other hand.

“Edgar. You can come this way.”

“Uh, huh? um- um. okay. I have to go.”

I was a little scared at seeing Ray for the first time, so I stuttered.

But fortunately, when she met me, she returned with her usual voice.

Leaving behind the two instructors who had been taught by Ray.

We started moving to prepare for Tristan life in earnest.

“I think I will be staying here for a few days, at the Royal Special Hotel.”

About an hour away from Tristan Gate.

The splendid exterior and magnificent building welcomed us.

Klepe Royal Special Hotel.

It was a place that would temporarily solve our accommodation problem since we had to stay in Tristan.

“Since it is a hotel tailored to the convenience of aristocrats as much as possible, you will not have any major inconveniences. If you need anything more, I will tell the manager in advance.”

Instructors and teaching assistants are given lodging within the military academy.

Most of the newly selected instructors live in this dormitory, matching work and rest space.

However, I am definitely the son of a noble family.

It was not easy to enter such an inn.

It’s possible to get in, but entering one of the bays will subtly damage our family’s honor in aristocratic society.

In other words, it was better for me to avoid it for the sake of the family rather than bluffing.

“Okay. You know how to handle it well. Rather, buying and selling a house takes quite a bit of time, doesn’t it?”

So, what Ray promoted was selling a small house in the capital city.

And until that happens, it is to stay in a special royal hotel that nobles often use.

The Royal Special Hotel can only be used by special people authorized by the royal family, but since the conditions themselves are so demanding, there was no loss of honor by using this place for a while.

Ray nodded slowly to my question about the sales status.

“That’s right. It’s a plan with a big budget, and it’s a part that requires official approval from the family… You can only deal with it if you get permission directly from the head of the household.”

“Is your father in the capital right now?”

“yes. So we decided to see each other in two days. I heard that Jane and Todd are also coming.”

“… Should I go too?”

“If you don’t come, the head of the household will be disappointed.”

… Ray knew not only me, but also his father’s personality.

In some ways, he is the most suitable person as the family’s butler.

‘Brother and sister… .’

I recalled the names I hadn’t heard in a long time.

Jane Mulick.

And Todd Mulick.

The eldest daughter and eldest son of the Mullique family, magical geniuses called ‘the kingdom’s hope’ by the public.

Although they were extremely close to me in the past, they are also brothers I miss after returning and a lot has changed.

If three people come together… It was like all the brothers of the Mulik family were gathering, except for Yellin Mulik, who was currently studying abroad in Kespar Kingdom.

“That sounds fun.”

“Then, I assume you are attending.”

As soon as Ray heard me, he immediately took notes.

I looked at her quietly.

“ray. “I just said it would be fun.”

“In most cases, when Edgar says he’s fun, it’s a sign that he’s favorable and positive about the field.”

“… Is that something that needs to be analyzed like that?”

“yes. “I tend to keep this in mind as it is related to work efficiency.”

“… … .”

At some point, it seemed like I couldn’t beat Ray with words.

Anyway, after resolving the accommodation issue in a simple way.

We moved to a huge site located in the very center of Tristan.

Tristan Hero Academy.

As it is a famous attraction known as the pride of the kingdom and the capital, its size and floating population were also enormous.

“Level 5 instructors must first go to the undergraduate office and register officially… !!”

“You can come tomorrow! “The department has given a grace period regarding warp gate!!”

Noisy voices and announcements can be heard from all over.

In particular, today, as the appointment of new instructors in the swordsmanship department coincided with the breakdown of the Tristan warp gate, it seemed like there were even more heroes flocking to the military academy.

I moved through the noise and asked Ray in a whisper.

“Ray, do you know where my lab is?”

“yes. May I guide you?”

“Go right away. It’s too noisy in here.”

A private laboratory that is only given to 4th grade instructors and above.

Since we arrived at the military academy in earnest, I think we should go there first.
