I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy

23 – 23. Private life

“Adela Cathy, congratulations on becoming a midterm evaluation senior.”

The once cluttered sparring hall became completely quiet,

Not long after, a consistent shout rang out.

Regardless of the students and instructors, generous applause and praise poured out toward the center of the sparring hall.

“Adella, when did you even start using a shield?!”

“Cool!”

And the cheers were not directed solely at the winner.

“It was really just a small difference!”

“Bad luck, man!”

Applause of encouragement equally poured out to the losers.

Students who usually couldn’t even make eye contact with Scarlett, let alone talk to her.

Relying on the anonymity between the infield and outfield, each player was able to pour out their honest impressions.

And most importantly, the two heroines who stand at the center. Their reaction.

Scarlett was staring at her fist,

Adela took a quick look at Scarlett.

I turned my body in the direction I was in and made a V shape with my hands inside my arms, which were exactly towards me.

A risky ceremony that sneakily crossed the line in the agreement not to pretend to know, just in case.

I barely suppressed the laughter that threatened to burst out in me, and got up from my seat.

The sunset was probably setting outside, and there was a strong possibility that I would be called in to clean up after myself if I stayed in the dark.

There is no time like morning to move mana stones.

I made Adela her chief as per the contract, so now I have to go get my reward.

“Brother! “How did you know?!”

“What?”

“Sister Adela will win! “You really seem to know everything!”

A little…. No, it’s Paula, who praises me with a sparkle in her eyes that makes me feel very burdened.

When Instructor Miho left, the titles given to people also changed at once.

I wonder when Adela was her sister, but in her eyes, all non-believers are ‘potential believers.’

Before sparring, she laid a lot of groundwork, and when it comes to evangelism, she is a saint full of confidence in the world.

By the way, it was necessary to first correct her misunderstanding.

My confidence in her only lasted up to the first sum, and the final blow that knocked Scarlett down was entirely of her own making.

If things continue like this, that talkative saint will spread rumors all over the academy tomorrow.

‘Instructor Ivan was already confident of Adela’s victory. ‘Shall we praise him?’

In the tone of

.

I can’t help but hope that my reputation will increase, but if it’s a tower built on misunderstandings, it’s a no-brainer. Usually, the trust that is built like that can easily be broken.

“I was never sure. “I just thought it might happen that way.”

“I see!”

I felt it during the last confession, but he is the type of person who accepts exactly what he hears.

“I’ll just go now.”

“Uh…. Don’t instructors usually clean up after themselves? “I tried to help you this time too, but-“

I smiled brightly, said a few words, and left.

“Please tell me I don’t want to do it.”

Taking advantage of the moment when the saintess was at a loss for words, she quickly escaped through the central staircase.

As I was going up, naturally blending in with the crowd of students leaving, I glanced back.

The center stage of Dalian Stadium. Scarlett was standing there shaking hands with Adela.

“…Hmm?”

She turns her head and looks this way during her handshake.

I feel like I was struck in the eye for a moment….

Well, I guess it’s just my mood.

—

‘If the mid-term evaluation is successfully completed tomorrow, please come to the place written here.’

This is the place I heard about from Adela while doing the last maintenance of Cheonhwa yesterday.

The ‘place written here’ was a quite noisy place.

It is a remote place, an hour’s walk or a 30-minute carriage ride from Dalianjang.

A street that is noisier and more crowded than any other area in Russell, and is brighter at night than during the day.

The largest commercial complex in the Academy, right in the middle of the main headquarters of Cache.

Standing in the middle of it, it was so bustling that I got a headache.

However, the atmosphere is not quite bad.

Thanks to the large number of students who came to fill out their thoughts after the mid-term evaluation event, the atmosphere was so lively that it was easy to misunderstand that some kind of festival was taking place.

You can hear the humorous chatter of students passing by.

“The loser has arrived. “You’re so sick you can’t even walk, right?”

“So you came in a carriage, 110th place.”

“This…” . “I still won, right?”

“Are you happy because you won 112th place?”

On the other hand, this time, we hear people crying from the bar on the other side.

“I should have rolled back then and there. If you could have avoided it like that-“

“Oh, what number is it? “I can’t listen to you any more.”

“Seeing as you got drunk after two drinks, you deserve to lose.”

Well, these kinds of jokes fill the streets.

The scenery reminded me of the night streets of Seoul, and without realizing it, I was possessed by the urge to go into a random store and crack open a drink.

I gathered my courage and hurried my steps.

After walking for about 10 minutes, I was able to reach my destination.

The tallest building located in the very center of this bustling commercial district.

Push through the main door of the building where all transactions and contracts for merchants affiliated with Cash Merchants are made.

“Welcome…. Ah!”

A male receptionist who welcomes you with a bright business smile that resembles Adela’s.

However, the moment he confirmed that the person who opened the door was me, he instinctively held his breath.

“Well, that instructor that Lady Adela was talking about….”

“I am correct. “Is there a problem?”

“Oh, no! It can’t be! “I’ll guide you right away!”

The employee hurriedly guided me as if there was some kind of unpleasant command.

Now, I have decided not to harbor complaints like, ‘What did I do to create such a fuss?’

This is right for Ivan.

It is natural that a bowl that is leaking inside is not treated well on the outside either.

It’s even more strange that they don’t treat idiot instructors as potential black consumers.

I followed the employee like that.

I climbed the stairs again, and again, and kept climbing until I reached the end.

“Here, this place.”

Top floor. There is only one room there.

Adela visits every weekend to take care of backlogged work. It was her personal office.

“I’m really sorry, but since the lady hasn’t arrived yet, I’ll be staying in the reception room downstairs for a moment-“

“No, I’ll go in first.”

“Ah…. Huh. “I work under Cathy Sangsang, so please understand that I cannot access her personal space without permission.”

“Aha, you are in that position. Then let’s do it like this.”

“I am so grateful for your understanding-“

Snap-

“I opened it. “Please go now.”

“…”

The receptionist looked at me like I was crazy.

But, he knew that if he told her, her mouth would only hurt.

With an expression that said, ‘I’ve had enough, miss,’ she quietly walked away.

It’s great to be a high-ranking noble in times like this.

A canon can be made into sophistry, and sophistry can be made into a canon.

However, I didn’t go crazy for no reason.

Given the situation that Adela had not yet arrived, she wanted to make the most of it.

“Let’s check for contraband.”

I am not the first smuggling request she has received.

After she entered the academy, she went to the academy and after trying it out, she succeeded.

Once she was convinced that ‘in theory she would never get caught’, she was using it as one of her own bargaining chips.

Of course, she wasn’t stupid enough to reveal dishonest backroom deals to anyone.

Her close circle of friends…. No, she is giving with the feeling that she is in debt to ‘her connections’.

It was more of a pastime than a business, so the smuggled goods were probably nothing special.

“I guess I’ll just have to see it with my own eyes first.”

If you can eliminate the possibility that it is ‘just in case’, it is better to erase it quickly.

If you are touching something that has gone too far, you must be sanctioned as soon as possible.

So, I slowly walked to the center of the office.

A room that looks like the chairman’s room commonly seen in dramas has been arranged in a medieval style.

Bookshelves fill the walls on both sides of the central table.

On the right, there were books that would be helpful in life as a merchant.

The bookshelf on the left was lined with combat theory books.

And, the box stuck in the corner.

I knew it intuitively. That’s it.

Sweet-

I opened a smuggling box the size of my torso.

Inside it….

As expected, there was nothing to be seen that could have gone astray.

At least drink alcohol that exceeds the prohibited alcohol content. Or is it just an unscented, odorless cigarette?

“Of course, that’s right. “I don’t know if she’s a heroine, but she definitely maintains the line.”

Feeling relieved, I took out my black-sized medicine bottle that was among the smuggled goods.

Pure white fluid flowing inside.

This is the reward I got after spending a whopping two weeks.

Stats These are the tears of Damian, the strongest in the elixir of life.

“Is this how Chris felt when he saw the gate?”

I think I can understand a little bit why people were so excited.

I never thought this small medicine bottle would look so beautiful.

After putting the bottle in his inner pocket, he looked through the bookshelf while humming.

If I don’t read a book and calm down, I think I might show an expression that isn’t like Ivan’s when Adella comes in soon.

Just like that, while I was sweeping her bookshelf with my hand.

Dismissal!

“…Huh?”

Sparks flew. A spark based on mana.

I stopped walking and took out the book I had just touched and checked it.

What I held in my hand was a completely black book with no letters or patterns.

There is a barrier here.

My right hand, which had absorbed the magic power, was clearly providing the guarantee.

I felt uncomfortable.

I was able to unintentionally lift the barrier with my right hand and look inside the book, but what was even more suspicious was that there was nothing written inside.

‘No way….’

It’s probably not possible. I want to believe that it won’t happen, but

First, let’s at least ask a question.

—

“I’m sorry, lady. I tried to stop him as much as I could, but he was stubborn….”

“It’s okay, Malek. “It doesn’t just happen for a day or two.”

She was a receptionist who delivered the news with a somber expression, but her expression as she listened was not very dark.

No, it wouldn’t be awkward even if it were brighter.

The footsteps that made a sound two tones higher than usual represented her feelings.

He was the top midterm evaluation student.

This is just the beginning, and she cannot be sure that she will be able to maintain her senior position in the future.

But the fact that I can add a few lines to the letter I will send to my father tomorrow.

That gave me an intuitive feeling of today’s accomplishment.

She eventually arrived in front of her own office.

Ivan may have gone in as he pleases, but I wasn’t particularly worried.

Assuming it was inside, there was nothing special.

Ah, there is one. The probability of him finding it was close to zero.

Squeak-

“Hello, noble instructor. What about a commoner, a poor girl, and now a lass….”

“……”

Today’s victory. So, Adela made a light joke to fit the mood of celebrating the conclusion of the contract.

The moment I saw his expression, the end of my words became blurred.

Her cold eyes staring at her.

A deeply subdued atmosphere, different from his usual behavior of ignoring commoners.

“Arrival…. “I did it.”

In the end, Ivan, who stood in front of her before she could finish her sentence properly, picked up one of her books and thrust it in front of her.

“Adela. What is this?”

A pitch black book. Her old diary.

The moment she confirms it, her complexion turns pale.

Her mind turned white, and cold sweat broke out.

Why now, why why is he holding it, why is he holding it?

She was the one who wanted to deny this whole situation,

“…Are you not going to answer?”

He didn’t seem willing to ignore it.
