I Got a Fake Job at the Academy Chapter 36

◈ Episode 36 Attribute Element Class (1)

While contemplating whether to kill Aidan, I remembered Aidan carefully approaching the werewolf.

That stupid act of pulling out a crude recovery potion and smiling at the pup.

─It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt.

I shook my head as I pondered over the fate of Aidan.

don’t kill

I could do it as carefully as possible if I handled things, but I couldn’t completely rule out a situation in which I was suspected.

How did I assume this situation where I became a teacher after being caught in a terrorist attack while riding a train?

In the end, it is only natural for unexpected situations to happen.

There is something called the black swan theory.

When an unexpected event occurs, it is argued that there was a precursor to the event and that it could have been predicted by analyzing the cause through the result as if fitting it together.

Post-analysis is easy, but pre-investigation is hard.

But look at my situation.

This is impossible to fit even if you bring up the black swan theory.

‘Above all, I can’t touch Aidan even more now that he’s got the president’s attention.’

Of course, I was the one who suggested giving the award to the president.

But this was unavoidable. It is undeniable that Aidan, Leo, and Teishi were present at the scene at the time.

And what would happen if I ordered Aidan to be thoroughly punished in a situation where the president still had no doubts about me?

It was a much better choice for image management to secretly suggest giving Aidan an award, even if it was just to make a good impression.

In fact, the president did not like the aristocrat-centered atmosphere of Seorn, and was satisfied with the appearance of a commoner boy who played an active role this time around.

‘In addition, even though Aidan is a commoner, he also possesses rare [special] magic.’

According to the data, it was said that Master, who was a wandering wizard when he was young, told him about it.

It’s funny to learn [Special] magic just because it’s taught, and it’s even funny that such a master wanders around.

If this is not a gig, what is it?

Anyway, since Aidan is a guy who knows how to use such unusual magic, he has been secretly receiving the president’s attention from before.

To touch such Aidan is to bring danger and doubt to oneself.

rather.

‘How about using Aidan?’

As well as the [special] type of magic he possesses, I got a strong feeling that something would bring all sorts of incidents.

The way you act and the way you think.

Should I say that I was born to do something justice?

If it was Aidan like that, he thought that he might be able to fight against the Black Dawn who hid in Ceorn.

‘It’s not bad, but I’ll just keep it open as part of the possibility.’

After that night, I don’t even know what Aidan thinks of me, and no matter how much he learns unusual magic, he’s still just a student.

It would be better to wait and see for the next few days, or weeks at a glance.

It won’t be too late to make a decision at that time.

‘Let’s focus on recovery for now.’

His voice had completely disappeared, but he couldn’t help but feel his body aching from the aftereffects.

I’m worried about tomorrow’s class, but judging from this trend, I’ll almost be able to recover by tomorrow morning.

I thought so and closed my eyes.

Teira Lionhowl frowned, looking at the burnt marks.

total fire.

The site of the abandoned factory now has only black traces of the factory.

“Captain. What can I check if the condition is like this?”

“No matter how you look at it, it looks like everything has been burned.”

As the two lieutenants said, the factory was all burnt down, leaving no clues about the case.

Teira tapped the ashes with the tip of her boots.

“It is also strange. A fire breaks out in an abandoned factory where people don’t come and go, and everything around here burns down.”

“Did you burn them all because you were afraid they might cut off their tails?”

“I guess so.”

When I heard the news of the fire, I vaguely guessed that it would be like this.

In fact, seeing the ruins with nothing left made my appetite bitter.

Terrina stroked her chin to organize her thoughts.

‘Death of Bellbot Rickson. unidentified thief. werewolf. A fire in an abandoned factory. An incident that occurred on the same day.’

A situation where all these puzzle pieces are in place and a picture has been drawn to some extent.

However, there was a big hole in the center of the most important puzzle.

It is not known who is behind the incident or who the culprit is.

“Lloyd. Was there anything else going on besides this one?”

At Terrina’s question, Lloyd pushed up the rimless glasses on his face with the tips of his fingers.

Lloyd, who also wore his hair neatly with pomade, was, to put it bluntly, more like a scholar than a knight.

And in fact, his main job is related to information acquisition and organization and case identification.

“There was nothing special other than this. but.”

“but?”

“I heard that a werewolf appeared at Seorn Academy as well.”

“Theorn Academy?”

Terrina knew nothing about Ceorn.

The Empire’s best educational institution for nurturing wizards.

Seorn, founded with the full support of various kingdoms, empires, and the Mage Tower, was a place with history and tradition that spanned hundreds of years.

In particular, it was famous as a place where not only nobles and rich people, but also commoners and lower classes were given equal opportunities if they had the ability.

A place within the empire, but freer than anyone else from the empire’s touch.

Did a werewolf appear in such Ceorn?

“yes. Apparently, the Werewolf from Ledervelk hid through the sewers.”

“It must have been a big deal for the students.”

“Fortunately, there were no fatalities. There were about two people injured, but even that is not life threatening.”

“What happened to the werewolf hiding in Seorn?”

“I heard that the current teacher knocked it down.”

“but. If it was Seorn, the teacher wouldn’t be a decent wizard either. Who is that werewolf? Are there any bodies left?”

“doesn’t exist. I burned them all.”

“Burn?”

For a moment, I thought it was like setting this factory on fire, but this must be an overestimation.

In the first place, the elemental magic that can effectively defeat monsters like Cryptid is flame-type.

“Hmm. Ceorn. It’s Seorn… … .”

“Would you like to go to Seorn? It might even give you clues.”

Terrina shook her head at Lloyd’s question.

“no. Not yet. Right now, I focus on gathering clues in this area.”

However, it seemed necessary to keep in mind that Ceorn also had a possibility.

“You will find out someday.”

Because that’s what she came out for.

The beings who are hiding in the empire.

To root them out and restore stability to the country. That was the mission and purpose of the Nightcrawler Knights.

* * *

A classroom where Ludgar’s manifestation-type magic is taught.

The students gathered there kept chatting among themselves about what happened last time.

Naturally, the topic of conversation was the werewolf and Ludgar.

“Did Mr. Ludgar really hunt werewolves?”

“He said he was a soldier. He said that he also made a record of defeating the cryptids, but that’s probably true.”

“and. I thought the atmosphere was no joke from the first day, but it turned out to be real.”

In addition, Ludger stopped the fight between Rene, a commoner, and Dunema Rommli, an aristocrat, and even the fact that he sent it off in an adult manner was mentioned in the middle.

Even before the first day of class, the evaluation of Rudger was not so good among students.

It is also true that the 1st and 2nd grade joint classes are held, but it is because they did not tell them well what to teach in the class.

He boasted that he would understand when he entered class, but how many people believed that?

I’m a new teacher, so there was a question about how proud I was.

As Ludger’s past was revealed, the evaluation improved, but there were still negative views.

However, the groundbreaking magic of the source code that was shown on the first day of class.

From the moment they showed it, the evaluation of students toward Ludger was bound to change.

The fact that Ludger was a new teacher and a fallen aristocrat alone made the students who didn’t listen to his class kick out and regret it, and there were also some students who tried to change their lecture time and join Ludger’s class.

Even the fourth graders, who will soon be busy preparing for graduation, belatedly applied for lectures and were rejected.

The more I did, the more I had to say about Ludger’s lecture.

Rumors spread that even the same teachers were interested in Ludgar’s source code magic, and that the Mage’s Tower was also informed of this.

Such Ludger hit the climax during this werewolf incident.

Now, among the first and second graders, it was impossible not to know the name of Ludger Celish.

‘The name of Mr. Ludger is often mentioned these days.’

Erendir, who was quietly listening to the conversation about Ludgar, recalled Ludgar’s appearance that day.

Despite her status as a princess, the man coldly only said what she had to say.

No, the attitude that seemed strangely hostile towards her was definitely invigorating.

No matter how wrong she was, what’s the point of saying that?

‘Besides, he was kind to Line’s juniors.’

At that time, the situation was so urgent that I passed it on, but now that I think about it, something was unfair.

To think that there were people in the world who ignored the princess and took care of the common people.

Isn’t that usually the opposite?

Of course, I had that thought while watching the scene where Ludgar fights a werewolf under the moonlight.

Just then, the back door of the classroom opened and a female student entered.

Ash gray short hair with relatively long side hair.

it was lyne

She shook her shoulders at the burdensome stares of some of the students directed at her.

Because of the incident with Dunema at the beginning of the semester, noble students did not look down on Line.

As a result, Rinne was unable to make friends and was living alone.

After seeing the seats in the classroom that were almost full, Line had no choice but to head for the only empty seat.

The most burdensome seat next to the princess, Erendir.

“hi. Line’s junior. How have you been since that day?”

“Yes, yes. Senior Erendir.”

The seat next to the 3 princess.

Rene, a commoner, sat in the seat where even aristocrats who wanted to make connections with the princess avoided the burden.

Even when Erendir greeted them warmly, some of the students had no choice but to look mysterious.

What is that commoner doing now? When did you become close like that again?

It was hard for Line to raise her head as her gaze increased further.

‘Aww. Why are you doing this only to me?’

To be honest, it was her honest feeling that she did not want to be involved anywhere.

What happened at the beginning of the semester was just light,

No, it’s not light, but it ended like an incident.

Dunnema, who had done wrong, had been punished for it, and she had no intention of saying anything more.

However, it is just inconvenient for third parties to act arbitrarily as if it were their own business.

Because of that, it wasn’t usually stressful to be disliked by the aristocratic students.

drooling.

The front door of the classroom opened.

The students all shut up.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Everyone stood upright and stared at Ludger coming through the open door.

The man was the same as he had been on the first day. His movements are restrained, and his steps are soundless.

What has changed is the outfit.

On the first day, he wore a black frock coat and silk hat over a gray suit, but this time it was different.

A long white coat. Black suit inside.

Along with a red tie around his neck, a long wine-colored scarf was wrapped around his neck.

He didn’t wear a hat.

His piercing gaze and sculptural appearance were clearly visible.

The students took their eyes off the figure.

Some female students stared blankly at Rudger with a hazy gaze.

“Let’s start class.”

At the same time as that word, the pile of papers Ludger had brought scattered into the air.

A total of 80 sheets of paper were blown away by the wind and landed naturally on the students’ desks.

It was a handout printed with a mimeograph, with the content to be taught today written on it.

“Today, I will explain the basics and principles of manifestation of <attribute element>, one of the specializations of the manifestation world.”

One of the 4 specializations of the expression world, <element element>

It is the most important field for wizards, and it was also the most popular specialty that most people think of when they hear ‘magic’.

Even now that magic has developed in various directions, children still think of fire, water, ice, and wind when they think of magic.

However, in other words, it is the basic of the basics that most freshmen who have just entered Seorn have learned.

Speaking of learning it again, the reaction of the students who expected a class with something special was bound to be somewhat disappointing.

It was then that Rudger continued his next explanation.

“But this alone cannot satisfy your passion and greed for learning. So, I am going to tell you a new method here today.”

“new.”

“method?”

Did elemental magic really need anything?

While the students were all puzzled, some who had already taken the Advanced Course realized what Rudger was up to.

“It is a way to increase the power of the elements that you can use existing by at least 20% and up to 80%.”

“Is there such a thing?”

There was a move Ludger had shown so far to dismiss as a lie.

“How is it?”

Rudger asked as he scanned the room.

“Are you interested now?”
