I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy

21 – 21. Insight

Intermediate evaluation.

An event where you can intuitively check your skills by having close matches with students of similar rank to yourself.

It was a common event, and I only remember being annoyed while playing the game because there was no skip button.

When I actually stood on my own two legs in the middle of the sparring hall as a member of the event, I felt a sense of reality that was incomparable to what I was seeing through the monitor.

There are more than ten types of sounds that hit your ears right now.

The sound of weapons clashing, the sound of a magic circle unfolding, cheers and screams, etc.

The entire sparring area is divided into zones like a checkerboard, and a semicircular mana shield is installed in each zone.

Within the basic framework of putting two students inside and attaching them, the task given to me as an instructor was simple.

Director. A spectacle in the name of.

From the beginning, it is a fight where there will be a clear winner and a loser, so all we can do is watch.

I was prepared to fight against boredom since I really had nothing to do but proceed.

It wasn’t as good as it is now.

The area I am in charge of. The battle that takes place within that mana shield….

“Faith Punch!”

Because it was so exciting.

This is because it was not a plausible battle between suitable students, but a desperate last-place defense battle by the saint.

A sparring between Paula, who is currently in last place, and a female student who is ranked just above her.

This reverse senior match was probably even more amazing than today’s game.

Anyway, to analyze it, the faith punch of conversion delivered by the saint…. The opponent, who easily dodged the attack, is trying to throw a spell in return.

“Be prepared!”

Of course, because the opponent was of low skill, the magic circle developed so slowly that it would have been faster to draw it with chalk on the ground.

“Ugh… !”

As if that was threatening enough, Paula got scared and ran backwards, widening the distance.

Soon the magic comes out. Murderous magic…. Instead, a freezing spell was fired that seemed to cool the person when hit.

“Rolling with faith!”

A saintess rolling around and dodging.

After the faith punch, is it a faith stomp?

I feel embarrassed looking at this.

Of course, he is a character who ‘sincerely’ thinks it would be cool to give technique names to movements.

Also, it seems like he promised to show me, his brother, his wonderful side without hesitation.

Even while he was rolling hard, he happened to meet my eyes and gave me a look that felt like ‘How are you, brother?’

I just laughed.

“Fighting….”

Do you like him?

“Crystal Freezing Magician Attack!”

“Leap of philanthropy!”

Both were doing their best,

Even if instructor Miho comes, they won’t be able to predict their ending.

I quietly and quickly looked up the bracket and checked the winner in advance.

Because I knew who would win. Rather than saying I know it, I saw it in the game.

Yes, what I have to do now is not watch. It’s not even about cheering.

Just worrying about cleaning things up.

It was her idea of how to comfort her as she faces her inevitable last place because of the future her world has set for her.

—

The sparring that seemed like it would last all day was already coming to an end.

If you look at the ratio, it would be around 70%.

The sparring field seen from the outfield was also very different from what it was in the morning.

The areas that were so closely divided that they were reminiscent of a checkerboard have also become considerably wider.

The reason was simple. The sparring between the lower and middle-ranked friends had come to an appropriate end, and now what was left were the students who were called ‘top-ranked’ or ‘promising’ students.

Techniques and movements would grow to match the strength, and the stage needed to be widened accordingly.

After all, they are first-year students, and there is no doubt that they are ‘better’ beginners.

That very part was the core of what I was now preaching to the saint next to me.

“Do you know it’s a slow starter?”

“…What is that?”

He tries to give strength to his voice, but his tone is as droopy as his shoulders.

Even his mouth was protruding as he sipped the freesia tea I gave him.

Even though I tried my best, I couldn’t get out of last place, so I must have been very shocked.

But what can we do? That’s character and identity.

All I could do was take care of my mental health.

The less negative emotions you feel, the slower the stigma erodes you.

“It refers to the type of person who gathers strength in the beginning and then uses it up in the second half to attack. “Just like you.”

“…Really?”

No, it’s a lie.

But thanks to that, a little bit of light returned to her eyes.

“Of course. “So what should Miss Paula do now?”

“Umm…. “Prayer and training?”

“Just work hard starting tomorrow. “Let’s take advantage of the situation a little more today.”

I pointed to the center stage with my finger.

Where the top 30 students were waiting for their turn, the cute charisma of the relatively strong was hovering around.

“Sparring from now on will be noticeably different. Please watch and learn. Because that will all lead to growth. And….”

My fingers don’t stop and wander around looking for someone else.

Wherever the finger eventually stopped, there were two people with skills that were not cute at all.

Even after coming this far, the seats on both sides of me were empty, with the red-haired girl,

A white-haired girl who stands somewhat awkwardly but has unusual eyes.

“A ranking match between chief and deputy chief. “Isn’t this the best thing to see today?”

“Wow….”

They say a tiger recognizes a tiger?

Perhaps she was instinctively impressed by the airflow coming from Scarlett and Adela, but she could not take her eyes off them.

“Who do you think will win?”

“Umm…. “But isn’t it Sister Scarlet?”

Unlike most students who couldn’t even predict the outcome, she was a saint with a good sense of humor.

“Oh, do you think Student Scarlet will be able to avoid Cheonhwa’s attack?”

“Sister Scarlet, you are so incredibly fast! Last time I almost fell backwards down the stairs. “At that time, you accepted me like lightning!”

“That’s normal when you’re behind-”

“He was on the stairs above me!”

“…”

Ah, it was a well-founded opinion.

I have checked my skills several times, but it was still difficult to realize the exact high point.

A monster with strength A, agility A, and even genius.

But….

“But you still don’t know.”

In order not to raise suspicion about her relationship, she decided not to even talk to each other today.

The genius on our side will also be formidable.

—

I tie her hair again and shake her hands to revive her senses.

Before the fight, when I was lucky enough to have a few seconds.

Scarlett never left out this process.

The mid-term evaluation, which took an entire day, was now coming to an end.

The only thing left for her is her sparring with Adela.

As this is the last sparring, the stage is the entire auditorium.

The huge arena surrounded by a huge mana shield seemed to be urging me to come in quickly.

“Scarlett Rain, Adela Cash. Are you ready?”

The instructor, a female prisoner with her ears on top of her head, urged.

She nodded her head slightly and headed to the stage.

Not long after she went up, her opponent also came up.

A handshake in a dry atmosphere.

It was just a formality, but the person in front of me added one more word.

“Please take care of me, Scarlett.”

“…Please take care of me.”

When I say please take care of me, it’s probably a lie.

The behavior Adela showed as soon as she finished shaking hands and stood at the appointed place was,

It was a rather insincere act for a student facing actual competition.

For some reason, the young lady in front of her did not bring one of her weapons.

The only thing floating in the air right now is one petal.

I don’t know why, but it didn’t matter.

She already has a record of defeating opponents wielding two Heavenly Flowers several times.

Even she, the one and only Cheonhwa, stretched out her mana thread and raised it above her.

Flower petals floating in the air so high that they almost reach the ceiling.

Even the snotty kids knew that the farther the distance, the more difficult it is to hit.

Scarlet was able to dodge even when fired from a much closer distance, let alone hit the ceiling.

The act he committed after knowing that made even Scarlett unable to leave without saying a word.

“If you don’t want to fight, abstain.”

“Oh my, did it look like that?”

“Then isn’t it?”

“I guess it’s about half right.”

An answer that sounds like a play on words. However, what she said next provoked her even more.

“I intend to win.”

It was even more annoying that his tone of voice was subtly similar to that of Ivan.

“Start!”

At the same time as the instructor declared, Scarlett shot out like a bullet.

More quickly than any movement I have shown before, I went full force from the beginning.

She didn’t even feel the need to cut off Cheonhwa’s mana thread.

She dug in while half-floating in the air, and in the blink of an eye, she reached right in front of her opponent.

With as much mana as possible in your fist.

‘Gotcha.’

Since we had already reached this point, the sparring was almost over.

Her entire sparring with her fifteen days ago ended like this.

Just like that, right before he pins her inevitable regime on her.

She In front of her, Adela stretched out her hand towards her Scarlett.

It was a futile struggle.

I thought so.

Boom!

…Not the sound of a mana shield breaking, but a dull hitting sound.

That is, until her fist, which she threw out with confidence, received just as heavy a shock.

“…”

A blue curtain unfolded before her own eyes.

Adela was unfolding in the second heaven, with the sleeves of her outstretched arms.

In short, her own attack was blocked.

In that split second, she understood.

The reason why Adela threw her flower upwards.

The reason why she showed herself to be excluding her own weapons.

‘Were you induced…? !’

Clearly reveals weaknesses and induces the other person to take action.

It makes you feel that it is easier to attack the main body than to cut the mana thread of Cheonhwa.

I was caught in exactly that number,

The moment she recognized that fact, she lifted her head and looked up.

“Damn.”

Sure enough, the mana bullet had already been launched from the ceiling and reached right in front of his nose.

No matter where you look, this was not an ‘intercept’ fired after aiming at the opponent.

Predictive shooting.

After planning all the situations so far, one shot was fired in advance at the start.

Although her feet had not yet touched the ground, Adela could clearly hear one word.

“I told you I would win.”

Scarlett gritted her teeth and twisted her entire body.

At the same time, a loud noise rang out in the sparring hall.
