I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

The Elpenia Forest after sunset was truly spectacular. Even in the forest where not a single torch was lit, fireflies and light spirits roamed the elven village and there was no inconvenience in walking and moving.

Sometimes the impossible happens in the world.

Things that cannot be explained by normal causal relationships, such as lightning striking the dry sky or fish falling from the sky out of nowhere.

For the people of this land, it was similar to the dragon’s fear of looking at humans.

Unfortunately, except for Phillip and two elves, other humans did not know about the existence of dragons.

Philip met eyes with Privia, who was hiding a little away and watching Philip.

“… .”

When her eyes met Philip’s, she turned away in surprise.

“Did you two fight?”

Cassler Murella asked. Philip smiled and shook his head.

“It wasn’t a fight, I was hit one-sidedly.”

Kassler seemed quite moved by his answer.

“No, are you saying that you are strong enough to defeat an ogre by yourself, but you are beaten by a weak woman? Instructor was a better person than I thought. It is understandable that Johnny follows him like a puppy.”

Cassler seemed to think Philip was a humble man.

It happened because she didn’t know that Freevia was a dragon.

I didn’t feel the need to correct his misunderstanding, so I couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly, saying, “It’s not Philip.”

‘I should have just said I’m sorry, I’m afraid someone isn’t a dragon?’

Philip gave another glance to Privia, then turned his attention to Lua, who was playing in the yard.

I don’t know how he did it, but Lua seemed to be quite friendly with an elf girl. She whispered something to the elf girl and then ran to Philip.

“Instructor. Luriel asked me to take a bath at the spring. Can I go and come? Johnny’s unnie and Cynthia unnie are also going with me.”

It seemed that he had come to ask for permission to go out. Once he went out of town, there was no way he would just take a bath and come back, so it was practically a question of whether it was okay to come and play.

“Okay. I have to go back tomorrow morning, so don’t play too late.”

When Philip gave permission, Lua laughed as if she was going to die of pleasure and held out her hand to Philip.

“Instructor, go with me too!”

“… why do i go there Come and have fun.”

If Philip joined him in that position, he could have personally confirmed just how good Castler Murella’s magic skills were.

‘By the way, when did you start calling Mrs. Cynthia ‘sister’?’

The speed at which women became friends was always beyond imagination. As Lua left, Philip asked Castler.

“I have something to say, how are you?”

“I thought I’d dwell on loneliness for the first time in a while, but I can’t help it if the instructor calls me.”

Philip quite liked a man named Cassler Murella. He was the Quartermaster of the Red Mage Tower, and that position was a position that allowed four wizards who could do their part as disciples.

Castler, a position with more honor and greater power than the academy’s professorship, had no problem treating Philip badly, but he was treating Philip simply because he was his youngest brother’s instructor.

Philip soon spotted an elf passing nearby. It was Sentinel Ursil, waiting like a butler who received a special order from the elder to welcome guests.

“Hey, where is Rizriel Youssef?”

“yes? Oh, it looked like he was discussing something with the elder.”

When a human who seemed friendly to the dragon called her, Ursil flinched in surprise.

“thank you.”

Philip, along with Castler Murella, headed to the elder’s room where Rizriel was. She seemed to be seriously discussing something with the elder.

“The quality of the mithril you paid for is far superior to the goods I brought. I feel too uncomfortable to do such a unilaterally profitable transaction. Sooner or later, I will reorganize the upstream and deliver goods equal to the insufficient price.”

“that… It’s really okay. Yousef Corporation has been doing business with our people for hundreds of years, and we have never broken a promise or cheated on a product. You can think of it as the price.”

Philip laughed hysterically as he listened to their conversation. The Elf Elder’s position was understandable.

She knew that Freevia was a dragon, and since she didn’t know exactly what kind of relationship she had with Rizriel, she was sincere, but Rizriel seemed uncomfortable with that.

“If you give it to me, please take it. It’s not really an unfair advantage.”

“Oh, you are here. Still, this isn’t it. If it’s of this quality, even the royal family will have their mouths watering. Even if it’s not, mithril is a precious metal, so it should be put up for auction, but if it’s as pure as this, families and magic towers will probably compete properly.”

In the process, it would have been Yusef’s superior to benefit greatly. Rizriel smiled awkwardly and began a secondary explanation.

“Yousef is not a business that needs growth. There is no place to go up even if you make a big profit. It’s important to benefit like the people who use our company. Then the sons and daughters of those customers will use our company again… .”

It was the attitude of a true entrepreneur.

“Then how about doing this? Instead of receiving a high-quality mithril, do something like a favor. Coincidentally, there are two excellent wizards here, so it must be something that requires magic.”

“… yes?”

Lizriel tilted her head. It was true that there were two wizards in the party, but they were the ones she couldn’t move. It was because they were all bound by ties to Philip.

“That is a good word. Instructor. I wanted to repay the grace of being considerate to come here with me.”

Castler Murella nodded.

“no… That’s fine… .”

The elf elder tried to decline with a frightened expression. But it was faster for Philip to call Freevia.

“How is Privia-sama? Are you okay?”

Then, in a corner of the elder’s room, Privia, who was killing the presence with invisible magic, appeared with a puzzled expression.

“… How did you know?”

“I thought you were watching something. Do you hate it more than that?”

“You guys… No, but if you want to do it, do it.”

He wasn’t going to say that he would be happy to die soon, but Philip noticed that she had accepted his offer of reconciliation.

“Are you really okay?”

The elder broke into a cold sweat now. Then, Freevia frowned and pushed.

“If you think about it, you probably have it… ?”

It was an unspoken pressure to at least create one if there was none. The Elder shook his head desperately, and soon he was able to recall a problem plaguing elves these days.

“ah… ah! that, yes The outskirts of the forest have been noisy these days, so I’ve been having a headache. According to the spirits, there are old and strong spirits roaming around the area, but it seemed that they were strong enough not to be afraid of even higher level spirits. It doesn’t look like it’ll do any harm to the village, but some spirits have gone missing in the vicinity. Could you please do some research?”

Castler, who had been listening to her, nodded.

“Not bad. Exorcising evil spirits is originally a priest’s job, but the Mage Tower often receives related requests, so I’ve done it a few times.”

It was a problem that Philip could solve alone, but he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to use the cheat key.

“Then good. Let’s move right away.”

Rizriel exclaimed in bewilderment when the matter proceeded against her will.

“I want to come too!”

Philip asked, slightly surprised when she announced her intention to participate.

“You Liz? why?”

“You’re moving because of me, can you be comfortable? Please let me follow. It will be a burden.”

“What is it, then?”

Philip nodded.

“Let’s finish it quickly while the kids are playing.”

* * *

“Certainly the air is a bit chilly. I don’t think it’ll be strange no matter what comes out.”

Castler Murella muttered.

The outskirts of Elpenia Forest was a place where neither fireflies nor light spirits could come. Especially in the northern outskirts.

This was once the place where a battle with the demons took place, and it was also the place where many elves lost their lives to the merciless attacks of the demons.

“Obviously there is something there, but I wonder if this is just provoking it. The fact that a ghost who can create such an atmosphere has been silent all this time means that he has no intention of doing anything in particular.

When Castler put forward a logical opinion in his own way, Privia sighed.

“I don’t know what you know. Strong ghosts have a negative effect on the earth and sky just by their existence.”

“… Um, does the mage have any grounds for saying that?”

Cassler was definitely a man of character. Even though he was a wizard of that level, knowing how to listen to other opinions meant that he was a very open person.

Philip even felt respect for Castler, who responded without changing his expression.

“By nature, life and death are one, and as there is life, death also exists. Only mortals with lingering attachments to life give it meaning. If so, it must be clear that those who have already died and become ghosts are also mortal. As long as he holds out here, the many deaths that happen around here will function in a negative way.”

It was a story of such a high level that even Philip would have to spend a little time to understand it. He asked Privia if his understanding was correct.

“You mean that deaths that would normally pass without meaning will turn into the power of ghosts?”

Freevia spat out a small exclamation and nodded.

“yes. That’s it. Because there is a strong mental body that perceives death negatively, small deaths around you are also perceived that way.”

“okay.”

‘It’s a spiritualistic story.’

Phillip nodded in complete understanding, and Castler Murella tilted his head. He just didn’t understand half of the conversation.

But that sorceress named Privia seemed to know something, so Castler agreed to admit her words.

“You seem to know what I don’t know, so I will obey your will.”

Privia looked at Castler as if she were admirable.

“You are quite well-behaved. Let me explain a little more briefly so that it is easier for you to understand. Of course, he will explain.”

Philip, who was suddenly pointed out, licked his lips.

“I mean?”

“I’m not good at getting the less informed to understand what I’m saying. Is that your job?”

Philip scratched his head in embarrassment, but couldn’t help but do what he was told to do. Besides, he wanted to help Castler as well.

“… So, in other words, a strong ghost has a loud voice.”

Castler Murella tilted his head again.

“You mean the voice?”

“yes. Let’s put this world as the background, not the individual as the subject of the phenomenon. Let’s imagine that this world is not a simple space made up of soil, water, and air, but a huge psychic body with many lives inside. The voices that life gives out while living a given life are just noises of life from the perspective of this world.”

“… .”

“However, what about the voice of a vengeful spirit who dies and cannot go to where it should go? To the world, it would sound like the ominous rattling of wagon wheels. Even if you ignore it as nothing at first, as the days go by, you will surely become anxious and concerned as the noise grows louder.”

“ah… okay.”

Let’s explain it easily, I felt like Kessler knew something too. It was because he was also a wizard who was already called a genius and rose to a high position with his talent.

“Like humans, the world is designed to be more sensitive to such ominous sounds. It is also the reason why strong ghosts are harmful just by their existence.”

Freevia, who had been listening quietly from the side, nodded with a satisfied expression and added another word.

“The magic that humans use is also like this, so keep that in mind.”

At that moment, a bolt of lightning struck Cassler’s mind. He froze in place like a statue, his eyes wide open as if possessed.

It was the Great Awakening that only the chosen ones among the wizards went through.

It was clear that if that distraught state was over, Castler’s magical realm would be incomparably higher than it is now.

“… uh?”

Phillip was embarrassed and made an awkward expression.

‘If I do this here, what will they say to me?’

It wasn’t about what to do with the ghost, it was about keeping him safe.
