How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

20 – Storm Instructor (4)

Tristan Magic Tower.

A place where only the best and most talented wizards in the kingdom gather.

As a mage tower located in the capital city, its reputation was unparalleled, and the academic achievements and research records newly written every year were always of the highest level.

In particular, many wizards who have left their names in the history of the kingdom, including ‘Brandon Mullik’, who is called the best wizard hero in the kingdom, are all from Tristan Magic Tower.

Thanks to so many outstanding seniors, the members of the Mage Tower were very proud of their membership.

“Jane! good morning!”

Jane Mulick is one of the members of the Tristan Magic Tower.

A wizard hero who has been entering the Mage Tower for exactly two years this year.

It’s hard to say that he took off his rookie tee for about two years, but now he has a lot of Mage Tower work to do alone, and he’s steadily producing research results.

In particular, the daughter of Brandon Mullick, who is said to be the best hero from the Mage Tower.

His ability is good, but even his origin is perfect.

She was a promising prospect for the Tristan Magic Tower.

“It’s late, Tanelli.”

Jane gave a bruise to the greeting of her friend and motivation to join the Mage Tower.

Tanelli Tilope.

The eldest daughter of Count Tilope, who is famous for being a Mado family along with the Marquis Mullique.

The environment is similar, the age is the same, and even the elite aspect is similar.

It was natural for the two to become friends easily.

“Look at me. I was late because I was in touch with my brother from the morning.”

Jane blinked at the sudden story of her brother.

“That, you’re entering the military academy this time?”

“huh. He suddenly received his fate as a swordsman, and is the first mutant in our family to enter the swordsmanship department.”

“Isn’t the beginning of the semester still far away?”

“that’s right. But he said he suddenly had an instructor he wanted to learn so much from, and he told me that from the morning. what did they say Like in the newspaper this time, I’m a new instructor… ?”

“newspaper?”

Jane’s eyebrows twitch at the unfamiliar word.

Most of the members of the Mage Tower tend to be single-minded, and don’t care much about what goes on in the world.

In other words, I don’t read newspapers at all.

At that, Tanelli burst into laughter.

“Ahahahaha. They say there’s a swordsman who caught 15 Kelleil by himself these days. That’s why it appeared on the front page of the Kingdom newspaper?”

“That is not difficult.”

“Ah~ Jane. It’s not an easy task either. They say he’s not a wizard like us, but a swordsman hero.”

Certainly, it was not easy for a swordsman hero to catch 15 mid-level monsters.

At least the third crossroads.

A hero who might have bloomed until the fourth crossroads.

It was said that such a person appeared as a new instructor out of nowhere, and it was certainly noteworthy in the kingdom.

Tanelli shrugged his shoulders and said, as if he was tired of talking to his younger brother.

From noble mtl dot com

“Anyway, if I go as a cadet, I will definitely want to learn from that instructor. What did they say, that his name was Edgar Mullik?”

however.

“… … ?”

It sounds like you’ve heard the wrong name.

Jane’s puzzled eyes turn to Tanelli.

“uh? And then… Mullique?”

Tanelli also blinks as if she senses something strange and sees Jane.

On closer thought, it was a name that both of them knew.

because.

Because Jane, in the meantime, used to curse that idiot while trembling.

To that extent, Edgar was a hero who was often called the disgrace of his family.

“… what?”

Edgar, who was like that, became an instructor in the swordsmanship department.

As a new instructor of the storm, who says that his best friend’s younger brother really wants to learn it.

A story like a pun-

Jane and Tanelli just blinked at each other.

What is the most important thing when a teacher is giving a lecture?

Perhaps the standards and methods set by each instructor are different, but I think it is a thoroughly equipped theory and the ability to demonstrate it.

A theory that can handle one martial art at the level of ‘deconstruction’.

And, the ability to make students understand.

If these two things are not equipped, it is difficult for an instructor to be recognized for his or her position.

Before I returned home, I learned that from my only swordsmanship teacher, Knight Felin, and continued my education with this principle when teaching my successors while serving as the commander of the knights.

It is different from the job of a teacher or lecturer who simply teaches a specific theory.

Moreover, if the field is ‘swordsmanship’ that is evaluated as the most universal martial art.

The tendency was even stronger.

“A swordsmanship that focuses on one characteristic is sometimes very powerful. As much as you give up other elements, you pour everything into that one element. Therefore, this Balut sword method, which focuses on ‘slashing’, is a sword method that is more powerful in a specific area than the existing sword methods, even though it looks unfamiliar on the outside.”

I was in the middle of demonstrating a lecture using that experience.

This demonstration is one of the two exercises planned by Akina today.

The first is a basic lecture demonstration.

It was conducted simply to check if my teaching skills were at a level suitable for teaching cadets.

Of course, I received a perfect score in the lecture demonstration evaluation, but Akina, who did not participate as a supervisor at the time, was in a difficult situation to grasp this in detail.

So I showed what I did during the instructor exam.

-… Instructor Edgar. Where did you give lectures before coming to the military academy?

And Akina asked, genuinely surprised by my teaching skills that she had never seen before.

‘I still have time.’

Not too surprising.

Although I wasn’t in a position worthy of being called an educator, I have a long history of teaching swordsmanship to younger knights.

Especially since I came up from the bottom when I was a soldier, I was able to take pride in being quicker than anyone else when it comes to ‘basic education’.

That’s how we easily passed the first practice course and moved on to the second course.

-I’m going to temporarily demonstrate the lecture that Instructor Edgar will open in the future. From now on, think of me as a student, that is, a hero cadet, and teach me.

When a new semester begins, I, assigned as an instructor, will open a new lecture.

However, if a hero who has just been selected as an instructor blindly proceeds with a lecture, there will always be a crowd.

No one knows what contingency will happen.

Akina insisted that a rehearsal was necessary in preparation for such a moment, and suggested a one-on-one lecture with divided roles as a process.

The place is the classroom of the Faculty of Swordsmanship.

The target is my senior instructor, Akina Crowfly.

The roles played by each other are the instructor and the students.

In other words, it is a kind of situational play.

“Instructor. Is the Balut method a sword method created by the instructor himself?”

Suddenly, Akina raised her hand and asked a question.

Balut sword method.

It was a pure question brought up by an unfamiliar name that had never appeared on the continent before.

In the meantime, her concentration to not break the situational drama is amazing.

“That’s right. As I said before, it’s a sword technique that gave up some of the other elements and focused only on cutting.”

“Is there any reason why you are teaching a new swordsmanship over Tristan’s swordsmanship? For first-year students, the basics and basics are probably the most important.”

“Your question is strange. Didn’t Cadet Akina sign up for the course because she was curious about what this swordsmanship was like?”

“ah.”

Akina, who asked questions as a senior instructor rather than a student.

She was taken aback when the situational drama was broken at the moment, but I smiled lightly and answered the question.

“The range of swordsmanship that first-year cadets can learn is not that wide. It’s because you need a sword method that can brush the foundation while being universal. That’s why I’m adding diversity so that the cadets can find the swordsmanship that suits them, without invading that area.”

“… … .”

Akina looked at me in silence at my sincere answer.

In fact, this rehearsal is completely different in nature from the previous demonstration of the basic lecture.

Earlier, if I demonstrated a really simple theory and basic swordsmanship, this time I will demonstrate a lecture in earnest that I will open in the future.

Even if it was only in the conception stage or temporary lecture, Akina suggested unfolding it as soon as it came to mind.

So after thinking about it for a while, I decided to demonstrate a temporary lecture on ＜Balut sword method＞.

＜Balut sword method＞ is a sword method that I recreated through a slight remodeling process of the sword method that was called the foundation of the basics in the Balut Empire before returning.

In other words, the name is Balut sword method, but in reality it is ‘Balut sword method revision… ‘ It’s a feeling.

So, at first, I thought about giving it a new name… .

“The shaking hands of the clock!”

“You are a hero who has perfectly mastered the coincidence of ＜Balut Sword＞. This coincidence belongs to the fate of ＜Prosecutor＞.」

Due to the sudden appearance of ‘the hands of the clock’, that worry disappeared.

After personally handling and checking the swordsmanship in my head, it was naturally registered as a ‘coincidence’.

In the first place, my proficiency in this sword technique was unparalleled in the other world, so it was natural.

‘Even fate calls this the Balut method.’

Anyway, thanks to the naming given by coincidence, the final name was ＜Balut Sword＞.

In fact, there is no original form of swordsmanship in the world I live in now, so there was no problem in calling it ＜Balut swordsmanship＞.

“This swordsmanship… Definitely worth teaching as a new course.”

Beginnings of swordsmanship and the mystery contained in them.

And even the clear purpose of the lecture about it.

Hearing this, Akina silently nodded.

Worth teaching as a new lecture -.

In other words, it meant that there would be no big problem even if the course continued like this.

My face naturally brightened as a result of the positive results.

“You sure have the eyes that Akina cadets see.”

“… Instructor Edgar. The situational drama is over.”

“Oh, sorry. Seniors.”

After listening to Akina frowning for a moment.

We continued talking about the lecture again.

“If Instructor Edgar wants, it’s okay to open a lecture on the Balut swordsmanship as it is.”

“Can you open the lecture right away?”

“I have to get permission from the administrative office of the Swordsmanship Department, but I, the senior instructor, will actively support it, so it will probably be approved soon. Instructor Edgar only needs to fill out the two necessary things: the syllabus and the detailed plan report.”

indeed.

Just because I was assigned an instructor didn’t mean I could give a lecture at any time.

First of all, in the case of a new lecture, it proceeds only after the decision to pass it by the administrative department, and even within it, if the senior instructor shows a negative reaction, it seems that it is difficult to reach the implementation stage.

‘It’s not quite a fair place.’

I edited the information about the Tristan Academy in my head again.

The pride of the kingdom and capital.

One of the best military academies on the continent.

A hero training center that prioritizes skills and destiny.

It is a place where various modifiers are attached, but seeing that the authority changes depending on the relationship with the senior or senior instructor… It seems that there is a surprisingly political influence inside.

It occurred to me that perhaps the assignment of the instructor’s rank to me might have had in mind that I belonged to the Mullique family.

“Anyway, I don’t think there’s anything more to practice. Thanks for your efforts.”

“Thank you for your hard work, senior.”

“Tomorrow, I will teach you about research work in earnest.”

“all right.”

Akina leaves the classroom with such a satisfied face.

It is the moment when the work of the first day of the instructor’s appointment is over.

I also stretched and prepared to go out.

“I’m craving peppermint tea…”

Of all the people I know, he’s the best at making peppermint tea.

Thinking of her, I move towards the lab as if possessed.

Of course, ‘Edgar. It’s a little scary to imagine Ray’s face saying ‘I’m a butler, not a maid’… Still, I couldn’t resist having a cup of tea after work.
