EP.224 The nightmare is back (3)
‘How should you act when something precious is taken away from you?’
It was an extremely difficult question for Rania, who had only ever experienced taking someone else’s place, let alone having her own taken away. Since she couldn’t find an answer in her past experiences, Rania thought deeply.
There is something she realized through a series of events.
As only a month or so passed, the students forgot about themselves. It wasn’t a matter of blaming the students. It was a problem Rania herself had to reflect on.
‘That’s all I got.’
As time passed, an incident occurred.
Even though I regret it, I am not buried in it. The incident has already happened, so we need to find an answer.
It’s been a week filled with regret and obsession.
The answer Rania discovered in the end was very simple. Rania tried to pronounce it out loud because it was simple and attractive.
“Stronger stimulation.”
Yes, it is stimulation.
There was a lack of stimulation.
In order to make you not forget yourself, to imprint in your mind that you are the only professor who is right… you needed a stronger stimulus.
‘And periodic stimulation.’
No matter how strong the stimulus, it is bound to be forgotten after all. What was important was that they had to be exposed to stimulation periodically.
Nod.
Rania nodded her head loudly and leaned against the window in the hallway. As she leans against the window, her gaze is directed to her bachelor’s bulletin board.
[Mana Transactions (Basic) Assignment Guide.]
Also, the bachelor’s notice she posted.
Rania looked at the task she had planned all night long with a very satisfied expression. Just imagining how the students would react when they saw that notice brought a smile to Rania’s face.
‘You can look forward to it.’
I will show you my best.
I will make it so that you will never dream of being another professor again.
“···Where are you going to run away?”
Her muttering voice rang low in the hallway.
No matter what anyone says, Rania was quite obsessed.
2.
『The nightmare is back.』
After Professor Letia’s last class ended, just before leaving for the store where the farewell party had been scheduled, students ran out into the hallway.
“We are scheduled to start classes tomorrow, so please check the academic bulletin board today.”
An eerie sentence whispered by Aplia’s nightmare.
There was a need to determine the truth of that sentence. While some with good sense trembled with fear, they arrived in front of the academic bulletin board.
“Ah, you guys came quickly.”
There is a passenger in front of the bulletin board.
“La, Professor Rania.”
As always, Professor Rania nods with a gentle smile. She took a step back and pointed to her bachelor’s bulletin board.
“You can check it slowly.”
Gulp.
Swallowing dryly, the students check the bulletin board. There was a piece of paper attached there that I hadn’t seen until yesterday, and the name of the nightmare was written on it.
[Mana Transactions (Basic) Assignment Guide.]
[Professor in Charge: Rania Van Trias.]
Students’ eyes move quickly.
The expressions of the students who were reading the notice began to change one by one. Some people open their eyes wide, some people wipe the corners of their eyes… and some people take a deep breath.
And, as if it was a promise.
“Well, Professor Rania?”
The students’ gaze turns to Professor Rania.
She tilted her head as she leaned against the window, straightening her hair that was blowing in the wind.
“What is it?”
“What is this?”
“Well, anyway.”
she smiled
“What you see is what it is.”
She took a step closer and pointed to the notice posted on the bulletin board. With a tap with her slender fingers, she touched the piece of paper and opened her mouth.
“The assignment period is until the end of the semester.”
A soft, gentle voice.
However, the voice begins to sound a little different in the students’ ears.
“There is a period of about two to three months, so it will be a task that can be solved step by step. “I expect it will be a difficult task to do in droves.”
Don’t think about taking a break for two months.
Isn’t playing for a month enough?
“The theme of the task is to create a perfect transaction formula, as in ‘Mana Transactions.’ “I expect that I have learned ‘well’ from Professor Letia over the past month.”
It seemed like he was doing well without me.
I’m going to test you.
“I believe everyone knows that the Mana Transaction formula means ‘creating a spell.’ “You probably already experienced it in the form of group work last semester, so it would be better to spend time solving it on your own this time.”
I’ve already done it once.
You can do it, right? I believe there will be.
“Of course, I’m not asking you to create a perfect spell. I would like to explain the assignment in more detail during the ‘Understanding Order Transaction Type’ course that you will learn from me. “There is no need to be so nervous.”
It’s not that difficult.

If you want to do it, you can do it.
do not worry.
Because I will make it possible for you to do it.
“If you complete the assignment, I believe you will achieve great growth.”
I’m not doing this for my own good.
It’s all for you.
“Of course, if it’s difficult, you can give up.”
“···yes? give up?”
“Yes, if you can’t do it, how can I stop you? “I will help you as much as I can, but I can’t help it if you give up.”
The intent is not read.
While the students blinked, Rania spoke in a soft voice.
“However, it is the assignment with the highest reflection rate this semester… If you give up on this assignment, I think it will be difficult for me to give you a good grade.”
Only then do the students understand Rania’s intentions.
The pupils of the students listening to her words shook violently.
“Well, what if I don’t get the score?”
If you’re going to give up, do it.
“You can just retake the course.”
If you want to listen to it again next year, you can do so.
“Is there anything else you want to ask?”
No one answers her questions.
Only Rania was smiling brightly. In front of a nightmare that smiles brighter than ever… the students despair.
‘The basics of mana trading…’
This is a required course.
You must take it to graduate.
This means that you can’t drop a lecture just because you don’t want to listen to it.
As it happened, the person in charge of that subject was Professor Rania, known as Aplia’s Nightmare. A nightmare that they cannot escape or escape from comes upon the students.
“Let’s work hard for the rest of the semester.”
She nods slightly and leaves.
The students watched Rania’s back as she walked away for a while. The sound of shoe heels echoing quietly in the hallway rang in their ears.
The nightmare is back.
It came back in a very splendid way.
“and.”
Someone let out an exclamation.
“I’m really going to be amazed.”
The students closed their eyes, sensing that the moment had come to ruin the life pattern that had barely been restored to its original state. When I close my eyes, all I see is pitch darkness.
‘A long, long darkness.’
I felt like I had a glimpse of their future in that darkness.
3.
“···It’s a commotion.”
When I returned to the professor’s office, I rested my chin and looked out the window. Outside the window, there was a lot of images of Kelhalm and the students taking him somewhere.
‘Farewell party.’
I’ve definitely heard that they do something like that.
“Tsk…”
As I watched the procession of students continue, I quenched my appetite. As I was looking out the window like that, Master opened his mouth.
“If you really want to go, why don’t you go too?”
“Go, I don’t want to go.”
“Do I see you once or twice, Rania?”
Master glanced at me with an expression that seemed like something new.
“If you want to join, you can just say you want to join and join that group. “This guy, who is normally oblivious, only notices in situations like this.”
“Oh, it’s not really…”
I don’t want to join that group.
I just felt a little jealous… but that’s it. In the first place, what am I going to do here?
“I just thought they would do something like that.”
I didn’t get a farewell party because I was running away from the Magic Tower at night, and when I crashed the warrior’s party… I didn’t get a proper farewell.
‘There are some things I didn’t want to receive…’
As I was watching the students going to the farewell party, I felt envious of them. I’m a bit curious about how it feels.
‘Still, it’s a bit hard to follow.’
So I decided to just take a look.
It was around this time that I was counting the number of students following me one by one.
smart.
Someone knocked on the professor’s office door.
The Master who was sitting near the door opened the door, and after seeing the customer’s face, he spoke in a slightly embarrassed voice.
“···What’s going on?”
···Polite word?
‘Who came?’
The guest’s face could not be seen because it was covered by the Master’s back. When I turned my head to look at the door, a familiar voice rang in my ears.
“Ah, I was wondering if Professor Rania was inside…”
The student stuck out his head and said, “PLEASE.”
She and I made eye contact. The moment I met her eyes, her eyes narrowed.
“There you are.”
A girl with platinum blonde hair, a symbol of the royal family.
Fourth princess, Ayla.
She looked at me with slightly playful eyes. She said that the Master took a step aside, and with her several students came into her professor’s office.
“···Princess? what brings you here?”
I tilted my head.
This was because I could not guess the purpose of the visit. In response to my question, Ayla tilted her head slightly to the side.
“What’s going on? “I came to say hello.”
“···yes?”
“You came back from vacation. “I originally planned to greet you sooner, but I had a lot to prepare for.”
She smiled bitterly, grabbed Chloe, who was standing behind her, by the shoulder, and brought her in front of her. She winced, and Chloe shook her shoulders.
“Miss Chloe and me…”
Ayla looked back.
“Miss Resty planned it together.”
Resty nodded silently.
‘plan? ‘What plan?’
While I was dumbfounded, Ayla pointed out the door.
“I’m planning to go to Professor Letia’s farewell party. Don’t you want to go with me?”
“···Me?”
“Yes, I told Prince Lac in advance.”
Chloe nodded repeatedly at Ayla’s words.
Chloe said in a shaky voice.
“Belnoa will prepare together too! In addition, they also help students in the Combat Magic Department…”
So, what do you prepare?
Since I didn’t know what he was talking about earlier, I blinked and asked a question.
“What preparations…”
“Well, it’s a thank you.”
···Thank you?
“First of all, officially, it is recorded that you were injured while protecting us and came to rest for a month… but you couldn’t give us a proper thank you, right?”
Did it remain that way?
Even though Kalt said they made it up and reported ‘well,’ I didn’t know anything in detail. I thought it was because I had a lot of money in my bank account as usual.
“I would like to take this opportunity to say hello.”
Ayla took out an envelope from her pocket.
It was an envelope with a red rose pattern engraved on it.
“Not only me, but my sister too. “I heard you’ll be making a brief appearance at the farewell party.”
“···yes? “Princess Lruelle?”
“yes. He said he would like to express his gratitude to Professor Letia as well as Professor Rania. Of course, he’s been so busy these days that it looks like he’ll only show his face briefly.”
Ayla smiled as she handed me the envelope.
“So, don’t you want to go with me? “The scale of the farewell party must be very large.”
Ayla approached me with her usual playful smile and whispered in my ear.
“Looking at you earlier, you seemed quite upset.”
“No, when did I say that…”
“You pronounced the word ‘farewell party’ with so much force, but you pretended not to know.”
Ayla took a few steps back, sighing and laughing. Her face got hot and I was speechless, so Master, who was watching the situation, added one word.
“Don’t hesitate and go home. “I’ve been wanting to go to Tiran Ti for a while now.”
“No, when did I do that…!”
“Isn’t that foolish?”
Phew, Ayla suppresses laughter.
I widened my eyes and glared at Ayla, but it didn’t seem to work. Ayla grabbed my arm, holding back the laughter that escaped.
“Just go with me. professor.”
“No really…”
“Okay, I got it.”
As if half-dragged, I was taken out of the professor’s office.
‘···I’m not really upset.’
I insisted on my innocence until the end, but not only Ayla, but even Chloe and Resty just laughed.
A word from the author (author review)
In ‘fantasy novels’, there is a chance that your assignments will be reduced if you appease a sulky professor…!
*I posted a notice saying it would be late, but fortunately it ended up being uploaded on time. 😀
