EP.25 First class (1)
A talented person is like a light.
The darker the times, the brighter the light becomes.
“So, I can only hope.”
I hope my sword becomes a fire that will brighten this era.
-Volume 5 of the story of a wandering swordsman.
-Wan, hero of difficult times
“Ugh…”
Aaron, the dean of Aplia, let out an exclamation. Aaron closed his eyes, immersed in the lingering emotions of the last chapter of the book.
‘A talented person is like a lamp, la… That’s a great sentence. That’s a really cool sentence.’
Thinking over that sentence, Aaron opened his eyes.
There was still a lot of work ahead of him, but now he felt like he could happily work through that mountain of paperwork.
“It’s a joy to be able to serve the times.”
Aaron clasped his hands together and rested his chin.
Now was the time to make the decision that I had been putting off.
Recently, there is a rumor floating around the academy. It was closer to an incident than a rumor, but it was not an issue that could be taken lightly.
‘A person who knows how to handle scales has appeared.’
Even among assistant professors.
The moment Aaron heard that rumor, the image of a certain person came to mind. And, as expected, his prediction turned out to be exactly right.
“Rania van Trias.”
Roselle’s adopted daughter.
I expected that he would soon stand out, but I had no idea it would happen so quickly or so spectacularly.
‘I can’t believe you know how to handle scales.’
If the rumor wasn’t referring to her, Aaron would have laughed it off too, saying it was nonsense. Because scales are not that light.
However, Aaron knows the girl’s talent.
The image of the girl solving the Magic Society’s difficult problem right on the spot is deeply engraved in Aaron’s mind.
Analysis of a complete circuit.
Simplified mana management.
She is a girl who can truly be called a darling of talent.
‘If it’s that kid, it won’t just be a rumor.’
There is a high probability that the rumors are true.
Aaron rested his chin and tapped the table.
Balance.
A deal with the star, the origin of all magic.
The highest level of order to arbitrarily arrange it.
There are only a few wizards who know how to manipulate scales. It is a distant realm of talent. Aaron also does not expect all students to be able to handle scales.
Just facing that part is enough.
He thought so.
‘A piece of truth that is the origin of all spells.’
If they face it, the magical path they walk will become more diverse.
‘That’s why mana trading was included as a required subject…’
There really wasn’t any suitable talent.
To explain mana transactions and the concept of balance, we need to bring in so-called ‘sages’.
But, how could that be easy?
Even in the magic tower that has been given color, the only thing that I wonder if they exist are the wise men. Aaron mobilized all his connections, but all he could do was recruit one person, Roselle.
Although it is an important subject.
There are only a few people who can teach it.
“Hmm…”
Aaron’s eyes turn to the report posted by the secretary.
– Mana Transactions 3rd week class report.
so that.
-Rania Van Trias summoned a mock scale.
-The time taken to summon is short. According to the students, it took less than a minute.
– Judging from the above facts, it is correct to assume that she knows how to deal with pure ‘scales’, not mock ones.
The significance of this fact is great.
“Hmm…”
Aaron stroked his chin and pondered.
‘Is it right to give her a class?’
This is an unprecedented case.
Giving a class to a person who has been appointed as an assistant professor for less than a month is an issue that cannot be avoided without causing noise.
“But still…”
Aaron’s eyes turn to the end of the desk.
There are two pieces of letter paper placed there.
Chief Resty.
Deputy Speaker Ayla.
This is a letter sent by the valedictorian, deputy valedictorian, and students representing this new class of students. The person sent is different, but the content is the same.
-Professor Rania van Trias’ class…
-His class…

Rania van Trias.
I want to take her class.
Aaron inadvertently burst into laughter at that passionate letter.
‘I guess I was quite shocked.’
Aaron raised his head and looked ahead with a faint smile. Sitting there is a close friend of mine who has arrived before I know it.
“Roselle.”
“Why are you doing this, Aaron?”
“Wouldn’t it be impossible to deprive students of the opportunity to learn by being swayed by external gaze?”
At those words, Roselle shrugged her shoulders.
“You do as you please. “Because I don’t care.”
“Your adopted daughter may be suffering from adultery. Does it still matter?”
“You’re not the type of kid who cares about things like that.”
If you say it that way.
Aaron made up his mind.
“Then, can I give that child a simple lesson? “It’s like a class to assist you.”
“Didn’t I tell you to do whatever you want?”
“Thank you for understanding.”
Aaron said a sentence that suddenly occurred to him.
“I hope that child becomes a light that brightens Aplia.”
Indeed, it is a sentence that leaves a lasting impression…
Aaron nodded with satisfaction. He said what he said, but wasn’t he a very good ambassador?
“Aaron.”
Roselle snapped at Aaron, who was nodding his head in satisfaction.
“I smell hoarse.”
“…Are you like that too?”
Aaron was in tears.
2.
I have a hobby these days.
It’s a hobby I developed after joining Aplia, and after lunch, I look out the window at a cafe with a cup of warm tea.
‘Sit by the window and enjoy a cup of coffee.’
Isn’t this a very old-fashioned hobby?
In the past five years, I have rarely had such personal, calm, and leisurely time. This time felt very precious to me.
‘Personal time is so important.’
People become this relaxed.
If I had just had some personal time like this, I would have been able to put up with those crazy bitches for another year or two.
“Hmm.”
‘The coffee tastes really good.’
It would have been nice to be able to spend my free time sipping coffee like usual…
“oh.”
Unfortunately, there was one uninvited guest today.
A person entered the cafe with a jingling sound.
Fourth princess, Ayla.
She smiles brightly and waves at me.
“There are all these coincidences.”
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a coincidence.
Is it a coincidence that we made eye contact from afar and walked straight this way without any sign of hiding?
I slowly opened my mouth.
“···What’s going on?”
“Do students need a reason to meet a professor?”
Saying that, she sits down next to me. The behavior is very natural.
“·····.”
I was about to sneak away, but she pulled up a chair and sat next to me. Then he suddenly pointed to my robe.
“Robe, are you wearing it?”
“Because you sent it.”
“Hmm.”
She smiles
He seemed very satisfied.
“The solution you gave me last time was helpful on the battlefield.”
“thank god.”
“Isn’t this a story worth ending in one word? What a great advancement, you in the knights… ah, mistake. “I’m being asked repeatedly for the professor’s identity.”
“The Knights usually overplay a bit too much.”
The Knights have been like that since ancient times.
Because whenever I came back from doing something, I would cheer.
“yes..? No, that’s not what I meant…”
“yes?”
“No, well… By the way, do you think you know the Knights Templar well?”
“···Some of my acquaintances are members of the Knights Templar.”
“Hmm.”
She chuckles and laughs.
There was something about that smile that made me uncomfortable, so I slowly took a step back. I’ve felt this for a long time, but I felt a little uncomfortable with these four princesses.
‘It feels so good.’
When you’re close to it, it feels like your true feelings are being exposed. Plus, it seems like I’m itching for mana.
“Why are you keeping your distance?”
“Because it’s close.”
“That’s too much.”
Ayla shrugged her shoulders, rested her chin, and looked out the window after me. He then opened his mouth.
“I just stopped by to say thank you. “Because it’s difficult to do in front of others.”
“···thanks?”
“It’s the same with solving the academic problem last time, so I don’t think I was able to say thank you properly. furthermore···.”
She looked at me with her head slightly tilted.
“I thought it would be good if I showed it off well?”
“yes?”
And then he smiles.
“Both as a princess and as a student. “It looks like I have a lot to learn from Professor Rania.”
“…Thank you for considering me that way.”
“Don’t be sincere.”
Ayla dusted off her collar and stood up.
At that moment, the store owner was bringing her coffee.
“The coffee has been served, so I’ll just leave.”
“Are you leaving without eating at the store?”
“Oh, shall we drink then?”
“·····.”
“…I’m going to go even if you don’t make that face?”
Grumbling, she takes the coffee cup.
“ah.”
Holding a coffee cup in one hand, she looked back at me as if she had remembered something.
“See you soon, Professor Rania.”
“yes?”
“This time, in the classroom.”
Saying that, she left.
Looking at the back, I tilted my head.
‘···Where is Master going again?’
I don’t think you said anything like that.
After finishing my coffee, I headed to the professor’s office where my teacher was. I was wondering if you might be a substitute hitter again.
I’m taking steps like that.
“·····.”
I kept feeling eyes on me.
Blatant gaze pours in. It’s not that people don’t always look at me, but this time it was a little harsh.
‘···Why are you blabbing like that?’
In particular, the gaze of assistant professors is harsh.
People who would normally look away when we face each other are now staring at me for a long time even after making eye contact.
How long did I walk while receiving those stares?
Near the teacher’s office.
Bulletin board where academic notices are posted.
I stopped in front of him.
This was because the crowds gathered there blocked the road.
A crowd of people gathered to overshadow the wide hallway.
There was a good mix of professors and students.
Trudging.
As I take a step closer, someone looks at me. He gestures. Touch the person next to you. Just like that, the gaze gradually gathered.
Amid the noise of whispering.
Their eyes all turn towards me.
‘···What on earth is that thing stuck over there?’
I shifted my gaze to the bulletin board.
Soon, a large notice caught my eye.
<Notice of new course>
-Mana Transactions (Basics)
-Professor in charge: Rania Van Trias.
What the f*ck.
Why is my name like that?
