Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me

54 – Gift (1)

Of course, I haven’t completely abandoned my suspicions about Professor Winston yet.

However, as a result of watching until the end of the class, it is also true that I could not get any meaningful results right away.

Even after talking with Justina, the tentative conclusion did not change.

“Hmm, I guess I have no choice but to keep an eye on it.”

“I want to ask if it’s okay to use the magic that only tells the truth that I used on the demons and Charlotte, but…….”

“That will be hard. Aside from efficiency, morally.”

“I don’t think so.”

In a human world, you have to follow human rules.

It was unreasonable to use magic to make a faculty member, who has not yet been identified, tell the whole truth.

If Justina was still a dragon who looked down on humans, she would have done it without paying any attention to it, but the current Justina was not like that.

If the students are her children, then her teaching staff are valuable colleagues.

“The problem is what to do if it doesn’t look after it. If you do that one by one, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to confiscate and investigate all the faculty and staff in the school?”

“Yes.”

If that happens, it will be revealed that she is secretly looking for snitches.

Hearing rumors that her magic is being searched for, and her terrified snitch gets defeated and runs away alone, Charlotte is safe after all, and that wouldn’t be too bad for her…….

Still, it was the best way to catch the intruder.

“And she is watching not only Professor Winston, but also several other candidates… I’m sorry, but Deneb, can I leave Professor Winston to you?”

“Of course. In addition to being the chairman of the board, she goes to school disguised as a student. Even a 48-hour day wouldn’t be enough.”

“mmm, right… Wait, did you just make fun of her original daughter?”

Leaving behind the worried Justina, I recalled her words that I had heard after being called aside by Professor Winston after her class was over.

‘I didn’t expect to be so grateful.’

It is true that I unintentionally helped him because of Justina.

But Professor Winston thanked me too vehemently.

It was to the point where even I, who had been laughing in anticipation of what would come out as a product, felt burdened.

– “I’m so glad. If it wasn’t for Deneb-kun, I probably wouldn’t have been able to continue the class. hehehehe… My heart would have been broken if no one answered there, I’m sure….”

– “Ah… yes….”

– “I told the other students that there is no product with this problem that failed to adjust the difficulty level, but that really can’t be the case. Rather, I’ll have to find something better than what I originally prepared. Yes, just talking to you yesterday was of great help to me.”

This was more of a personal appreciation than a class quiz.

It’s not enough to answer the quiz that Professor Winston worked hard for – although the response was not good – he even encouraged me yesterday.

As the two cases merged like this, I couldn’t say no anymore.

I was also curious that it was a ‘better gift’ than the one I originally prepared.

‘The professor’s office.’

They even informed me of the location, telling me to come find them separately when the time is right.

I’m sure it’s not going to be confined by revealing your true colors after you go there.

If that’s not the case, you might be locked up saying that you’re a minor and want to become a graduate student in a magical engineering lab with few applicants…….

“Ah, no way.”

I had goosebumps all over my body.

I have to stop thinking about such dangerous things.

It was a specification that I tried only to step in and then fall in love with it.

In my previous life, I tried to take care of my three children for just one year, but ended up living together for a whopping 10 years, so I had to be careful about this in advance.

“What are you thinking, Deneb?”

“Huh? No, nothing Justina will go and take care of herself.”

…… Maybe in this lifetime, it might not be 10 years, but 100 years.

***

There was no need to procrastinate or procrastinate, so I went straight to Professor Winston the next evening.

“Room 803, room 803, where the hell are you… ….”

I had a bit of trouble finding my way.

It was not easy to find the way even though I had heard from Professor Winston, the person who taught me where to go.

I was embarrassed because I had never thought of myself as Gilchi.

However, after wandering around, the moment I stumbled upon Professor Winston’s office, I realized why I hadn’t been able to find it.

“This is… office… ?”

A corner should be in a moderate corner, what the hell is this?

I had already passed by this place several times while I was wandering around, but I didn’t realize that there was a room here.

I searched hard between room 802 and room 804, but… In the first place, rooms on this floor rarely have signboards attached, so won.

Even after finding the door, it was difficult to tell whether it was the door that opened the storage room or the cleaning kit, or the door to the real room.

“Cough, Cough!”

It was not uncommon for people to cough when they opened the door thinking they found it.

‘Justina, how did this happen… ….’

It is said that he is a professor in a magic engineering class that is not in demand, but he is still a professor in his own way, and his office is so small and shabby.

Isn’t the chairman of the board awakening for the treatment of faculty and staff?

With that in mind, I knocked on the door of Professor Winston’s office.

Smart-

“Professor, this is Deneb Rehnar.”

“Ah, come in! Come on in!”

Before I could turn the doorknob, the door slid open.

When I looked inside in surprise, it was not even that Professor Winston had come out and opened the door with his own hand.

Something like a long arm was holding the doorknob.

“Ha ha ha! Isn’t it funny? If you have this magical rocket arm, you can open the door even while sitting like this!”

“Ah, the magic rocket arm… ….”

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a toy…….

I didn’t bother talking, I nodded and looked around the office.

Still, the inside space looked a little wider than when I saw it from the outside, but it wasn’t absolutely spacious at all.

“What is all this?”

“My collection. How are you? Isn’t that pretty great?”

This was the reason Professor Winston’s office could not be large.

Excluding the side where the desk and chair are, almost all of the other three sides were decorated with Professor Winston’s magical engineering collection.

It occupied so much space that in fact Professor Winston had only about half of the entire office space.

“How long did it take to put them all together… ah! Uh, don’t touch that. Because I got it really hard….”

“Oh, sorry.”

“No, no. Come to think of it, if it’s Deneb, you can touch it. I will refuse anything to the benefactor who saved my class. Ha ha ha ha ha!”

As I looked around in wonder, Professor Winston made a fuss.

I didn’t mean to touch it, but he told me not to touch it, then he suddenly changed his words and said it was OK to touch it…….

I just laughed because I didn’t know which rhythm to go with.

“Anyway, welcome. Sit comfortably. Well, the room is small, so I don’t know where to sit… Feel free anyway.”

“This may be rude, but… I’ve never stopped by another professor’s office, but isn’t this a bit too narrow? Are you being treated very badly?”

“Ha ha ha! Heuk, heuk, you’re poking at the painful part…….”

“Shouldn’t I make a suggestion to the president or a high-ranking person?”

Professor Winston, holding his heart, made an exaggerated performance and personally brought out a chair for me to sit on.

It was uncomfortable, but I forced myself to sit down and pretended to be comfortable, and soon coffee was served.

Why did you treat me so generously?

It was confusing whether the student visited the professor’s room or the professor found the student’s room.

“What is the suggestion, it can’t be helped. Because it is a fair competition.”

“Fair competition?”

“Yes, isn’t Denbergen Academy securing its position as the No. 1 Academy in the continent through this method? Professors with good evaluations are treated well, so not only students but also professors compete.”

“Hmm… ….”

After listening to the story, I was able to understand it to some extent.

The overwhelming strength of Denbergen Academy is its outstanding faculty.

The outstanding skills of the professors were the result of fierce competition among numerous professors.

The better the working environment gets, the more consistently good evaluations are received, not only from the research evaluation conducted directly, but also from the students.

‘It’s kind of vicious, but the effect is sure.’

Is the system as reliable as it is a school built after 100 years of study?

I stuck out my tongue at Justina’s precursor.

In the case of Professor Winston, who is a non-mainstream subject called magic engineering, regardless of his ability, he was pitiful, but as he is still a novice professor, there is a chance that he will improve.

“Anyway, let’s get into the main topic. The goods are prepared.”

“Ah, I’m not really hoping for something like that….”

“hahahahaha, you don’t have to do that too much? I’m doing this because I’m really grateful. You can choose comfortably.”

“You choose?”

Are you sure you prepared multiple products?

No, is this really burdensome?

“Originally, the prizes intended to be given to students who answered the quiz correctly were at best this.”

“…… A magic rocket arm?”

“Yeah, giving a really dangerous weapon to a student is kind of like that. I was going to give this toy as a gift. But Deneb, I thought I should give you something that would be of real help.”

“Anything that would be really helpful… ….”

Professor Winston told me to wait a minute before opening his closet.

Inside it was a box that looked heavy even from a distance.

Professor Winston groaned and moved a box that looked like some sort of storage box that was much longer across than it was tall.

Kooung!

“It’s okay, here it is.”

“…… What is this?”

“It wouldn’t hurt to explain, but try opening it yourself.”

I tilted my head and opened the box.

Since the size of the box is so large, I thought there would be something incredibly large inside, but it wasn’t like that.

But Professor Winston’s ‘choose’ was perfectly understandable.

That’s also true, because seven different swords were displayed in the box.

“Sword…… ?”

There was a strong perception that the first impression was unexpected.

Because the skill of magic engineering and the sword did not go well together.

I’d rather have heard of magic engineering bows and guns, but a combination of magic engineering and a sword?

“Now, how are you? How hard it was to collect seven bags like this… Magic swords aren’t that common.”

“Uh… Incredible.”

“Originally, I was thinking about what to give you, but I heard that you, Deneb, are a special class student and are good at handling swords. Well, because a good weapon is an essential virtue of a strong warrior.”

“This is my first time seeing a magic sword. Ugh…….”

In fact, I couldn’t tell exactly what the difference was in terms of functionality when I saw it with my own eyes.

However, it was clear that some swords had a motor and were different from normal swords, such as a weapon that looked like a sword attached to the end of a gun.

But if I had to pick one here…….

‘It’s a bit difficult to choose.’

I looked inside the box for a while and then looked up.

Insinuatingly, he looked at Professor Winston and demanded an explanation.

Professor Winston seemed to understand the meaning right away, and started a bombardment of explanations with a wide smile.

“Well, from what a magic sword is… ….”

“Aha! Are you curious about that?! So, in fact, the magic engineering sword has not been popular for a long time, and at first it was popular among maniacs who like swords and magic engineering at the same time. Consisting of…….”

And I immediately regretted it.

…… I’ll just ask which sword is the best.
