chapter 87
87 – Starting School (1)
A few weeks have passed since then.
Of course, quite a lot happened in the past few weeks.
First of all, if I were to explain my body, nothing particularly big happened.
What has changed is that the burden on my body has largely disappeared.
Not only that, but the other two forces within the body also somehow calmed down.
It appears that, as she said, the side effects have been reduced significantly.
‘I’ll have to practice properly later.’
Thinking like that, I organized the books in the room.
Then, someone knocks on the door.
-Knock knock knock.
“Master! It’s Shiro! “I’m going in!”
With those words, she opens the door.
Even though only about a month has passed, she has grown significantly in height.
Unlike before, I grew rapidly, probably because my body was filled with more power.
Now, unlike before, it’s embarrassing to even call him a child.
“So why did you come?”
“Does this suit you?”
She put her hands on her waist and snorted.
The clothes she is currently wearing are none other than Edin Academy’s school uniform.
Judging by the reaction, it seems like he wanted to transfer quickly.
“So what rank did you place?”
“Of course he is the chief!”
In response to my question, she crossed her arms as if to ask why.
Well, it was rolling around under me for nearly half a year.
Considering her potential, it’s only natural.
‘Well, it’s obvious.’
Thinking like that, I tried to read the book.
Then, she tilted her head as if asking what she was doing.
“Master. What are you doing? “Where is the time for that now?”
“Hmm?”
“What um? Are you! “I have to go to work!”
“Ah…!”
I forgot about it because I didn’t go to work for a while.
I quietly looked at the time.
“Hmm?!”
The next moment, it was almost time to go to work.
After getting up from my seat, I was going to go to work right away.
Then, Shiro in front frowned harshly.
“Ugh! Master, please wash up and come back! “Get your hair in order!”
“Please wait.”
I quickly released magical energy.
Then, he drew a circuit and used basic magic.
-Hair.
-Cleaning.
When I used both magic at the same time, my body became completely clean.
Not only that, my unkempt hair also became neater at once.
Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I smiled with satisfaction.
“Then let’s go.”
With those words, I went to work at the academy for the first time in a long time.
***
When I went to work at the academy, the students around me bowed their heads.
“Hello. Professor.”
“Hello.”
I headed to the teacher’s office after receiving greetings from the students.
Then after a while.
“Oh, are you here?”
Lisa, whom I haven’t seen in a long time, smiles and speaks to me.
Her golden hair is flowing as usual.
As she approaches, her fragrant scent tickles the tip of her nose.
“Hmm?”
“What’s wrong?”
“You’ve grown a little taller.”
“Really?”
She examines her own body.
I guess she didn’t know she had grown taller.
‘It has changed more clearly than that.’
The magical power felt in her body was conveyed and the dimension changed.
I guess he trained like I said.
“What do you think? “Have I changed anything?”
In a moment, she asks, tucking her hair behind her ear.
I answered that question without any hesitation.
“You have become stronger.”
“······.”
She opens her eyes wide.
Soon, she shook her head.
“Ha. “You are like that.”
-♬♪♩.
In an instant, the lecture time rang in my ears.
At the same time, she speaks with her cruel smile.
“See you later. Kael.”
“Uh, huh.”
With those words, she quietly disappears.
The next moment, Shiro, who was watching the situation from behind, let out a shallow breath.
“Ugh, Master, you really have no clue.”
“····Let’s go faster than that.”
With those words, I took Shiro to the classroom.
Not long after that, she finally arrived at her destination.
When I open the door and go in, the students are sitting quietly in their seats.
‘They have definitely changed too.’
Everyone definitely grew during the vacation.
Actually, in a way, it’s natural.
It’s a task, but didn’t you introduce Lee Ji-hoon to everyone, including Shiro?
I don’t know how much Lee Ji-hoon said at the time.
-What kind of person did you bring in like this?!
Lee Ji-hoon’s anger lingered in my ear for a moment, but anyway, this is not my part-time job.
There is something more important than that.
“Okay. “Have you completed all your assignments?”
“Yes… I did.”
“I thought I was going to die doing it.”
“Vacation wasn’t vacation.”
At my question, the students click their tongues and shake their heads.
I spoke to them quickly.
“Hmm, then we will check during the lecture in the afternoon.”
“Afternoon lecture…?”
“Are you giving lectures from the first day?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
As Maria lowered her head in response to the question, the students muttered as her face turned white.
“Student violence from the first day.”
“I heard it’s the devil after all.”
“Even the devil will definitely run away when he sees you.”
“No refutation possible.”
It seems that the only thing that changed during the vacation was my strength.
For the sake of conscience, I only attended the morning lecture and finished it quickly.
***
Afternoon lecture that came after lunch time.
Most of the students exhaled with dark faces.
“Ha. “Lectures from the first day.”
“If it was just a theory lecture, I wouldn’t say anything.”
“That’s right. “You just get beaten up from day one.”
“Is this correct?”
“I think it’s literally true.”
“Admit it.”
As the students were talking, someone quietly walked up.
The person who walked was none other than Lisa.
“Uh, why Professor Nell?”
“Well, you always came to see me.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
While everyone was reacting to her appearance, someone entered the training room again.
They were none other than S-class people.
The students were mesmerized by their appearance.
“Huh, don’t you think something has changed?”
“So, it seems like it’s become sharper than before.”
“I think he’s taller too.”
“Can I grow bigger as an adult?”
“So?”
Everyone was in doubt for a moment, but before they knew it, Kael came into the training ground.
Soon, he looks around at her students and says,
“Everyone is gathered. Let me quickly explain today’s lecture. From now on, we will do something called longitude.”
“Longitude?”
“Okay. “It is a game where one tagger catches another thief.”
The students understood those words right away.
Kael continued to explain without paying attention to their reactions.
“You can think of a caught thief as being imprisoned. And unless the remaining thieves come to rescue him, escape is impossible.”
“Hmm, I have a question!”
“Okay. “Let me tell you.”
“Are we doing this among ourselves?”
All the students, including Elaine, who asked a question as if asking for help, look in this direction.
And of course, Kael cruelly trampled on their expectations.
“Of course not.”
“Eh?! Then?”
“I am the only tagger, and you are the thief.”
“Uh, aren’t you just doing this because the professor wants to hit us?”
Kael naturally nodded in response to Raine’s question.
“Okay. No. So, don’t have any strange imaginations.”
“It’s very suspicious.”
“Admit it.”
“Can I ask one more question?”
Ellie raises her hand gracefully.
When Kael nodded her head as if asking her to speak, she asked directly.
“What are the standards for being caught? Is it literally the end if you get caught?”
“No. “All the kids who fainted on me were caught.”
“Uh, then isn’t it the end if I just get caught?”
“Okay. Yes.”
This is just because they want to hit us!
In an instant, all the students shouted the same message in their hearts.
Kael relaxed her fist, paying no heed to the students’ reactions.
But at that moment.
“Just a moment.”
Liza, who was watching from behind, suddenly intervenes.
Soon, I make a suggestion.
“Can I do it this time too?”
“Hmm?”
All the students, including Kael, are shocked by this unexpected proposal.
Soon, Kael quietly looked at her.
‘Hmm. ‘It won’t be bad.’
She was already planning to check her strength, but now the timing is right.
Kael nodded her head at the suggestion.
“I understand.”
“Wow, this is my first time seeing Professor Nell fight.”
“Me too, me too.”
Everyone looks at Liza with curiosity.
Kael quietly unties her legs and speaks.
“The escape range is the entire royal capital. There are two ways to beat the police. “Either all the thieves will not be caught in time, or they will hit me effectively.”
“This means that running away is the answer.”
“So.”
Kael clenched her fist! She unravels and opens her mouth.
“Give me 10 seconds. “Run away as much as possible.”
The moment those words were finished, everyone quickly ran away.
In an instant, people disappeared from sight.
After 10 seconds, Kael slowly opened her mouth.
“Then it begins.”
And so it was the moment when the hardness of hell began.
