March 8th.

Two days left before school starts.

Philip was summoned by the understudy through a maid. It was a call from Felicia Oswald.

There was a moment of awkward silence between the two of them as they sat across from each other at the table in Felicia’s office.

It was Felicia who spoke first.

“… You will be entering the first and second grade classes with me.”

She looked at Philip with eyes full of anxiety and doubt.

Felicia Oswald was a young lady who deserved to be called a genius. In the fourth year of the academy, that is, at the age of 17, he realized his sword skills and became the pride of Count Oswald’s family, and as soon as he graduated, he was recommended and became an instructor.

At twenty-three, he reached the stage where he could apply sword skills, that is, blow sword skills to cut targets at a distance, proving his qualifications to become a professor.

And now, at 24, she was facing the worst crisis of her academy career.

‘… What the hell were my father and mother thinking when they sent that child here?’

She was well aware of Philip’s usual behavior.

Whenever he has pocket money, he brings it to the women of high-end salons and hangs out with bad guys.

During his academy days, he was expelled from school for killing half a senior two years above him.

‘It’s definitely been quiet these days. I don’t know what I did because I locked myself in my room… .’

Philip opened his mouth quietly, receiving Felicia Oswald’s stinging gaze.

“Is that all you have to say? Anything else?”

“no. no.”

Felicia, awakened, narrowed her eyes.

“This is your last request as a family member and older sister. I won’t criticize or condemn you as long as you’ve come this far. Instead, be serious when teaching students. The children we will teach… I’m only fourteen or fifteen years old. I’m still too young to be hurt by a kid like you.”

Phillip let out a small sigh. I was worried about the kids, so I said something like that.

“Well, I really intend to do it right.”

But Felicia didn’t seem to believe at all.

“And tomorrow is the entrance ceremony. It’s a class that parents are watching.”

“Of course I know.”

It was something I had already been told, and it was a fact I already knew.

At Freebia Academy, each department holds an observation class after the entrance ceremony, which was an event to confirm how classes are conducted for parents.

“There, all you will do is introduce yourself briefly and assist in my class. I am… I really hate your usual behavior, but I think I can pull it off.”

Philip could infer her feelings.

He hates him so much, but suppresses those feelings with a sense of duty as a professor. This wasn’t something anyone could do.

It was an unbelievable responsibility for a twenty-four-year-old young girl.

“… It’s been a long time since I’ve been putting pressure on you like that.”

Felicia was furious at Philip’s joke.

“Are you really crazy? Can’t you be serious even for a moment? How far will I go… .”

“I’m kidding. joke. One might even make a joke. is not it?”

Felicia glared at Philip as if to kill him, then let out a deep sigh.

“please. Philip Oswald. I don’t think you’ll last long here. If you endure for a few months without buying and selling, I will kneel down and beg your parents to let you go back to your family. huh?”

“What are you talking about? I’m going to stay here for at least 5 years. I want to stay with you for a long time… Huh!”

Philip hurriedly dodged the teacup thrown by Felicia. Maybe it was because of the increased magical power, Felicia’s long blonde hair fluttered in the air like waves.

‘I’m really angry.’

“… get out. Because I don’t even want to see it. You, if you are like that in class tomorrow, I will never forgive you.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

Philip escaped Felicia’s laboratory as if running away.

―The owner is also very mischievous. You seem like a nice older sister, but why are you teasing me like that?

Neria grumbled in displeasure. Philip replied with a chuckle.

“Your reaction is cute.”

—… That’s right. Anyway, master. Are you ready? You’ve been fighting with Neria’s former owners for the past few days, but you haven’t prepared any lessons.

“Preparation is not enough right now, it overflows. What I lacked in the first place was knowledge of swordsmanship. Teaching itself was not a problem. Through the secret book I obtained this time, I got a rough idea of what swordsmanship is.”

From noble mtl dot com

– With that? how?

Neria heard from Philip last night what kind of swordsmanship the ‘Moonlight Sword’ was, but couldn’t understand what he was saying.

“You just know a little about it? It will take some time for formal initiation, but I think it will pay off sooner or later.”

—… Ah yes. Good job, master.

And the day passed.

March 9th.

The plaza of the Pribia Academy was filled with sixty new students and their families, friends, or entourage.

After briefly attending a few events, Philip headed to the warehouse to prepare for the visiting class. And for the first time, he met the instructor who would be in charge of the lower grade class with him.

“Again, if you cause trouble to Professor Felicia, I will punish you no matter what.”

Her name is Diana Prenhal. is twenty-six.

She was an expressionless woman with blue hair. If she hadn’t been pretty by nature, she would have been told that she had fierce eyes.

Philip knew her quite well. It was because he was the only person at Privia Academy who could be called Felicia’s ‘friend’.

In private, Philip already knew that the younger Felicia called her sister.

The problem is that she is also hostile to herself.

“That, Instructor. Isn’t it an observation class now? There is no reason for you to burden me right now.”

“… It is.”

Still, they were able to communicate with each other to some extent, so Philip checked the necessary items even while feeling dizzy. It was the instructors’ role to check the condition of training dolls and practice wooden swords.

“It is rotten on the inside. Even if it’s fine right now, it will break after a few hits with a wooden sword. What is the finish of this wooden sword handle like this? What if the kids catch it and get a piece of wood stuck in their palm? Who manages the warehouse?”

As Philip enthusiastically prepared, Instructor Diana looked at him in surprise.

‘I heard from Felicia that you’ve never done anything right in your life?’

“What are you doing? Aren’t you working?”

“No, that, you’re working pretty hard. Instructor Phillip.”

“It’s for the kids, so you can’t just look at it, can you? What if I do something wrong and get hurt? How anxious are the parents who came to observe?”

“that… Right?”

‘what? What is it?’

Diana Frenhal felt extremely confused. It was because it was so different from the image of Philip he had heard about through rumors and Felicia.

‘It’s not about acting… ?’

It was hard to come up with the idea of checking carefully because it was intended for use by children. Because in a situation like Philip, people usually wait for other reasons.

“At least this is enough.”

Diana almost let out an exclamation at the skill of labeling defective teaching aids separately so as not to get confused and classifying them so that teachers can easily take them out.

Felicia told her little about Philip. It was because he didn’t want to have dark conversations with his only friend, Diana.

At best, I’ve only heard about it for the past few days.

Thanks to that, Diana didn’t have time to have prejudice or prejudice.

“… is it so. Instructor Philip. Now, let’s prepare for the observation class as well.”

‘Maybe Felicia has a misunderstanding about her brother. He hasn’t seen Instructor Phillip in years.’

‘Is this lady surprisingly an advisor? He keeps bruising me.’

The two instructors misunderstood each other and headed to the swordsmanship principal where the observation class would be held.

* * *

“nice to meet you. Dear guests. And new students. This is Felicia Oswald, who will be in charge of the first and second year swordsmanship classes.”

The observation class was conducted by selecting about 20 freshmen.

Phillip looked for the main character twins, but unfortunately they didn’t seem to exist in this principal.

‘Are you in the classroom at the Faculty of Magic?’

When the semester started, the first thing to do was to coax the child who would be the main character among the twins. I had to make the main character a sure ally even if other students didn’t know.

“… For convenience, we omit the honorifics. Distinguished guests, we ask for your understanding. Well, before you take swordsmanship lessons, you need to know why the sword is the only weapon that many people choose, leaving behind strong weapons like spears, axes, and whips.”

Felicia’s voice was thin like a girl’s, but there was also a strange charisma. Philip watched her lecture with a hearty smile.

“Is that instructor the famous Philip Oswald?”

“What on earth was the dean thinking about bringing such a wretch into the academy?”

“… Well, isn’t it that a prestigious family can’t always be a prestigious family?”

‘I hear everything. You bastards.’

Phillip closed his eyes and swallowed the anger that was rising. Others said nobles in a noble tone, but interpreting the content was spectacle.

‘It sounds noble enough to say that the dean is senile and is trying to destroy the academy.’

It didn’t bother me too much, and I wasn’t angry either. Suddenly, he seemed to hear the voice of Head Professor Emil.

‘It must have been difficult. yes? I’m talking about people who don’t mean anything and talk about sh*t and trash. It must have been funny to see these idiots with back pain and full stomachs chattering casually.’

It was just like that now. They were people who knew nothing.

“… As many lands were conquered and buildings and cities were built on those lands, swords that could produce sufficient fighting power even in narrow alleys became responsible for the protection of nobles. Here, the first master ‘Solvein’ taught me how to accumulate and utilize mana… .”

Before I knew it, the class was running towards the middle. Soon it was Philip’s turn.

“Then, let me briefly introduce the instructors who will help us in today’s class. Instructor Farrenhal?”

At Felicia’s call, Diana stepped forward.

“nice to meet. I am Diana Farrenhal, who will teach you guys from now on. Those of you who have older brothers or sisters have heard about me. I’m a person who is rumored to be without adding or subtracting, so expect it.”

‘Your nickname was Ice Instructor? I’m more familiar with the blue one.’

Philip smiled as he recalled the information about Diana. The faces of the freshmen were different.

The students who had brothers or sisters turned pale, and the children who had not heard rumors about her seemed to ponder their luck at meeting the pretty instructor.

“Then instructor? Can I show the students my skills for a moment?”

“yes. professor.”

In private, they were sisters and sisters, but in public, Diana treated Felicia with respect.

She bowed and drew the sword from her waist. Approaching the training doll standing in the middle of the swordsmanship principal, she

Cut a human-sized training doll quickly and quickly once.

A fleeting flash. Whether it was a simple sword or a sword sword, only an inspector above a certain level would be able to know.

Soon, the training doll’s head and lower body were cut off, and it was cut into four pieces and tumbled to the ground.

“Did the sword split into three branches in that brief moment of contact? I’ve heard rumors, but it’s great. If you see it for the first time, you will be beaten.”

“If that’s enough, I think I’ll try to recruit him from any knights right now. An achievement like that when you’re only in your mid-twenties.”

The admiration of the parents followed. Since they were also the heirs of electronic swordsmanship, they were able to objectively judge Diana’s level.

“… and.”

“what? How did you do it?”

“I’m a bit scared… .”

The freshmen didn’t know how to close their open mouths.

Among them, there were children from fairly famous families, but most of the new students had never seen anything like that, as knights from families would never show off such advanced skills just for someone else’s entertainment.

It was a level of swordsmanship that was not lacking even in the decisive battle of a decent family.

“That is all.”

Diana returned to her original place, opposite Philip.

Philip swallowed his saliva. Even if he had prepared to some extent, it was inevitable that this moment would be tense.

“… Next, Instructor Oswald?”

Contrary to his relaxed voice, his gaze, which seemed extremely anxious, turned to Philip.

Now it was his turn.
