In conclusion, he really needed skills to teach children.

It meant that at least he had to reach the level that the original ‘Philip’ in the game had reached.

that too in a short time.

Originally, Philip was at least good at swordsmanship, so he could have endured at the academy.

“So will it work?”

As the saying goes, even if it rots, Philip was an asshole, but he was a highly educated swordsman in his own way.

In addition, because of the setting that only one talent for swordsmanship was real, I remembered that in the original work, when the battle with the main character and the party occurred, he skillfully handled swordsmanship.

‘Come to think of it, he was a very handsome guy. But why did you live like that? I wish I could have killed my temper a little and lived. No, this is not important. I think something will come to mind.’

Philip thought for a moment, pressing his fingers to his temples. It seemed like something tickling in my head would come to mind if there was an opportunity.

Then I heard someone knocking on the door.

“excuse me. Instructor Oswald.”

It was the voice of a calm woman.

“who are you.”

“The dean called the instructor. He said he would like you to come to the dean’s office now if you have time.”

It must have been the maid who came to deliver the call.

“Let’s get ready and go up. thank you.”

“yes. all right.”

Philip answered and heard the maid’s steps recede.

‘Something to come has come.’

Philip tried to stay calm, but he couldn’t stop a cold sweat from flowing down his temples.

‘Philip’s… So now my mother and the dean had a close relationship.’

I don’t know exactly what kind of relationship it is. However, if it was enough to ask for an instructor position at the honorable Pribia Academy, it wouldn’t be a normal relationship.

Maybe it was his former favorite student, or someone he had been working under.

‘… Actually, that’s not important right now.’

The problem was the dean himself.

Great Sage Rossello Graham.

He was the tallest person in the Freevia Academy, one of the strongest in the world, and the decision maker who currently holds Philip’s leash.

“ha… .”

Philip sighed deeply and straightened his clothes. Then he got ready and left his room.

* * *

After leaving the faculty dormitory, it was only a short drive to the main building.

It was a week before the start of the semester, so the main building was empty. At best, he passed by a few cleaning maids and one or two clerical helpers.

None of them greeted Philip first.

In addition, he turned away from him with his head bowed down with a frightened expression.

‘Did the rumors already spread?’

But Philip wasn’t worried. It was a problem that would be resolved with time anyway.

Philip arrived in front of the dean’s office, took a few deep breaths, and carefully knocked on the door. Then, an old, pale voice greeted him from inside.

“Come in, Mr. Philip Oswald.”

It was a soft tone, but Philip did not let go of the tension.

“Excuse me. Dean.”

There was no need to open the door. Because the door opened by itself.

When Philip entered, the simple dean’s office caught his eye. There were no decorations, just a few magic tools, a bookshelf, and a desk inside.

The great sage Rossello Graham was an old man with a benevolent feeling, like the grandfather next door.

But Philip knew very well what a monster he was.

‘… His magic skills are to the point where he won’t be pushed back even if he fights a dragon. And when I use my hands, there is no hesitation.’

He was a strong man who could kill Philip with just one finger.

“Sit down. Philip.”

“yes.”

As Philip pulled his chair down, the dean stared at him calmly.

Philip swallowed a dry saliva as he felt as if he was being read.

“okay. It’s been a long time since we met face to face like this. I’ve heard quite a bit about how you’ve been, so I won’t ask.”

‘As expected.’

A favorable response was not expected. Philip shook his head with a wry smile.

“I want you to know that accepting you as an instructor was a very difficult decision for me as well. As you know, it’s hard to say that you’re fit to teach children.”

“I understand. Dean.”

“Your mother, Selenia, was one of my most cherished pupils all my life. However, I do not intend to treat you in any special way just because you are the child’s son. If you’re a bad influence on the kids, you’ll be kicked out. Do you understand?”

Phillip thought it was time to act.

Rossello Graham was the owner of a personality worthy of being called a great sage.

No matter how big a mistake a student or staff member made, he never got angry.

The target of his anger was fixed.

Like demons, outlaws, and traitors, those who could harm those within their boundaries.

That was it.

For a personality like him to speak that way meant that Philip’s image was just as bad.

Philip raised his head and met the dean’s gaze.

“yes. I understand that too. But I am aware of how important this work is. Nothing you worry about will happen.”

“That remains to be seen. Isn’t it?”

The dean’s reaction was heartbreaking. Having lived nearly two hundred years, his wisdom was not something that could be shaken with just a few words.

However, Philip did not panic and continued to speak calmly.

“I may not be the best teacher, but I will try to be at least a small support in the hardships and adversities that children will experience while growing up.”

A strange light appeared in the dean’s eyes.

Upright posture without distraction, eyes full of will. A calm but strong voice.

Philip’s attitude was different from the rumors.

As I heard, if Philip had wandered around the salon as if he were at home and lived a dissolute life with bad people, he would never have had a look like that.

“… okay. Good to hear. Let me go. I will be busy preparing for the new semester.”

“yes. Dean.”

When the celebratory order was given, Philip stood up and bowed.

Even after he left, the great sage Rossello Graham looked at the seat where Philip had sat for a long time.

“… You want to be a support?”

The dean, who had lived as an educator at the academy for many years, could tell.

That the educational view that Philip had spit out was not something that could be created in a short period of time.

* * *

“… after.”

After leaving the dean’s office, Philip sighed deeply.

Philip wasn’t sure if his words had moved the dean’s heart.

‘I said I’d be busy preparing for the new semester.’

Still, it didn’t seem to leave a bad impression, so I was satisfied with that alone.

In the first place, Philip also didn’t even expect that something would improve just by talking without showing anything.

A person’s change had to be shown in action.

After descending the stairs and arriving at the first floor of the main building, Philip suddenly felt the need to solve the physiological phenomenon.

It was because I was very nervous in the conversation with the dean.

Philip, who was walking to the west end of the hallway where the bathroom was located, ran into someone with only a few steps left of the bathroom.

“Philip… , Oswald.”

Light blue blonde hair and fair skin. A face that looks like a mature woman and an immature girl overlapping.

Philip was familiar with her face.

This was the first time I’d actually seen it, but it wasn’t hard to recognize.

She was probably one of Philip’s favorite characters.

“What are you thinking of coming here? How long are you going to bully me? If you have a conscience, you can’t do this. You know very well how much I suffered because of you.”

Felicia Oswald.

From noble mtl dot com

She was a swordsman with excellent skills enough to become a professor at the Pribia Academy in her mid-twenties, and the heir to the Oswald family.

As a first-time professor, he showed a clumsy appearance at first, but as he grew up with the children, he gradually turned into a mature educator.

Felicia Oswald glared at her sister with eyes like bugs.

Perhaps Philip was the only stain in her life.

For someone as close to perfect as her, having a family like Philip was flawed enough.

“Does it make sense that a fool like you is teaching children? What are you going to teach your kids? How to seduce a girl at the salon? How to Win Money on the Gambling Board? If you came to the academy because you didn’t want to go to the northern front, pack your things and leave right away. Even if I beg my father, I will send you to a quiet country estate.”

Philip listened to her words and let out a small sigh.

This was hostility beyond imagination.

‘No, that’s not me. It’s too much, really.’

“… You speak too harshly. professor.”

“what?”

“Speaking of which, honestly, wouldn’t learning how to seduce women at a salon or how to win money at a gambling table come in handy someday in life? Nobody knows what their lives will be like.”

Felicia Oswald laughed at Philip’s shameless words and shuddered with rage.

“Ha, are you really crazy? Are you out of your mind?”

Philip took a step back in a hurry, as he was about to raise his magic power and hit Philip with a blow.

“It’s a joke. sister. No matter how stupid I am, can I? I was just looking for my last chance to change.”

“joke? Aren’t you and I kidding each other?”

Felicia’s anger subsided a little. But her gaze was still full of contempt and anger.

Philip was trying to gauge the depth of her ill-feeling towards him at this moment.

But more than expected, she seemed to hate Philip. It was to the point where I wondered if I should be grateful just for mixing words.

“… If I do well here, my relationship with my sister might improve a little bit.”

Felicia Oswald snorted at Philip’s words.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Philip Oswald. i know you well you will never change Mommy will love you even if you’re an idiot, but not me. Of course, at one time I also expected that you might change. But all those expectations vanished when you touched my maid, Lily.”

Philip, who had been listening to her, murmured involuntarily.

‘That’s worth it.’

“I’m telling you, I’m going to do my best to get you out of here. I will never allow trash like you to color innocent, good children. understand?”

Philip nodded in agreement and opened his mouth.

“Good luck. I will cheer you on.”

“Shut up, Philip.”

Felicia opened the door to the women’s bathroom and entered.

‘The situation is more serious than I thought.’

Seeing her reaction, Philip now fully understood.

The fact that you will never get a second chance.

Felicia would never miss the smallest opening and bite.

Philip headed to the swordsmanship principal.

No matter what happened, in order to solve the problem, it was first to know what the problem was.

The biggest problem for him was his swordsmanship skills.

“… Philip, I believe in you. we all die like this really.”

He believed in Philip’s talent. Even with that ruined personality, as long as he had endured to some extent at the academy, his talent must have been certain.

In the first place, other than that, there wasn’t much to lean on.

Fortunately for him, well-maintained wooden swords were neatly arranged in the warehouse as the semester was approaching.

Philip picked up one of them.

Then, in an instant, information flooded in.

‘The center of gravity is almost the same as that of the Jingeom. Did you pay a lot of attention to the iron core embedded in it? The handle was fitted to fit the hands of the students.’

Philip came out of the warehouse holding a wooden sword and stood in the gymnasium.

He instinctively took the position.

It was a strange sensation.

I felt as if I had been holding a sword for a very long time.

When a person learns something, the brain usually accepts the knowledge and the body learns it.

But this sensation Philip felt was the exact opposite.

How far apart your feet should be, where your eyes should be, how to use this power that starts boiling deep inside you as soon as you grab the sword.

His body was perfectly remembered.

Philip was clearly aware that the talents of his body were indeed real.

“… Whoa.”

He didn’t stop there.

I focused my mind and took a deep breath. An unprecedented power was whispering in the danteon.

You can do it, so get me out.

As the whispering guided him, Philip raised his magic power. Soon, I could feel the mana stimulating the tendons and muscles throughout my body.

“… i trusted you Philip.”

And Philip was able to confirm immediately.

A shimmering blue blade wrapped around a wooden sword.
