I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

After summer vacation, the academy was again crowded with students. The shopping district was also lively, and students and instructors struggled to adapt to the changed curriculum.

“Have you seen the new instructors?”

“huh. But I was afraid to speak.”

The newly hired instructors were a bit different from the previous ones. They were people whom the dean and professors had been searching for with great care, and until recently they had been active in the knights, the Mage Tower armed forces, or the core research group.

Philip and Diana were summoned to Felicia’s laboratory, where they were greeted with new faces.

“hello. Instructors. It’s called Gilmore Thames. Until I came here, I served as Count Baroun, the Marquis of the North, and participated in the Battle of Dunburn Plains.”

Philip was also destined to work with a new instructor. Basic swordsmanship and physical training, which he would be in charge of, were subjects that did not require a professor to be attached all the time, and it was rather efficient to have several instructors with good control.

“Nice to meet you. Instructor Thames.”

“nice to see you. Instructor Thames.”

Philip and Diana respectfully greeted the new instructor. It was because it was good to maintain some level of friendship with the instructors in charge of the same class.

Instructor Gilmore Thames was a young man in his late twenties with short hair. Since he had been a knight for 9 years and was a proficient Auror user, he deserved to be evaluated as a core force in any combat group.

“Battle of Dunburn, are you referring to the battle where the baron class demons appeared?”

Diana asked if I was interested in Instructor Gilmore’s introduction. Instructor Gilmore shrugged when the pretty female instructor showed interest, then opened her mouth.

“yes. I was honored to be able to kill that wicked demon with the Marquis.”

Then Diana’s eyes turned to Philip’s face.

‘Instructor Philip fought against the baron-class demons while protecting two students. Even if the vampire isn’t in proper condition… .’

Clearly, Instructor Gilmore was also quite a prominent figure, but Philip’s case was exceptional because he was special. Before she knew Phillip, the career of Gilmore Thames would have taken Diana by surprise.

“It’s a relationship enough that we worked together like this, let’s get along well in the future. Instructor Thames.”

Philip said with a smile. However, Instructor Gilmore’s reaction was unsatisfying.

“Ah, yes. Let’s do it.”

It was a tone that felt even subtle hostility. Philip tilted his head.

‘Do you know me?’

It didn’t seem like I knew him at all. Meanwhile, Instructor Gilmore frowned at Philip’s handsome face.

‘He’s really handsome without any prejudice. Please keep things small. Or die early.’

Then Felicia opened the lab door and came in.

“Good morning everyone.”

Facing Felicia Oswald’s beautiful and lovely appearance, Gilmore Thames thought the world was unfair.

‘Did the siblings all come from an elf ship?’

Philip and Diana greeted Felicia with light greetings. Today, Felicia’s eyes toward Philip were full of goodwill, because Philip had shared some of her teaching duties with her.

Felicia, who turned in her syllabus early, was able to get a good night’s sleep and go to work, which made everything look beautiful.

“Ah, this is the instructor hired this time. I wish you well in the future.”

“ah… yes. I wish you well too. professor.”

When Felicia greeted her, Instructor Gilmore unknowingly smiled languidly, but soon regained consciousness and managed his expression.

“Oh, I forgot to pass this on. Please note that today’s class will be attended by a person dispatched from the Royal Knights. Got it? Instructor Oswald or Instructor Farrenhal will do just fine, and Instructor Thames will just need to help the two instructors. By the way, has everyone had breakfast? Since we have some time before class, shall we have a meeting and have something to eat at the cafe terrace? Of course I live.”

Felicia, whose tension rose to the limit, pulled Diana and Philip’s arms.

“Now, now, don’t hesitate, hurry up, come on.”

* * *

Philip, Diana, and Instructor Gilmore, brought to the cafe terrace, replaced breakfast with fresh fruit juice and expensive snacks.

“Is there anything good about your sister?”

While Felicia went to the bathroom for a while, Philip, unable to overcome his curiosity, whispered a question in Diana’s ear.

Dianna Farrenhal looked at Instructor Gilmore for a moment, then asked Philip in a voice so low that he couldn’t hear him.

“… Do you really want to know?”

“yes. We need to share the joy with each other.”

Diana hesitated for a moment before whispering in a coy voice.

“Actually, nothing special. Felicia slept soundly for the first time in a while, and only changed her mind after a while. My face is yellow because I haven’t been able to solve things properly for the past few days… .”

Philip almost shut Diana’s mouth. Fortunately, Instructor Gilmore didn’t seem to hear. He was staring blankly at Felicia’s face as she returned from the bathroom.

‘It seems like it was love at first sight.’

Philip clicked his tongue inwardly. No matter how you look at it, Instructor Gilmore seemed to have a crush on Felicia. It was so obvious just by looking at that blank expression.

Returning to her seat, Felicia asked Philip as if she had just remembered.

“Philip… … Not Instructor Oswald. Anyway, why did you ask to schedule your workout session to be once every two days? Training is something you do every day.”

Hearing that question, Instructor Gilmore came to his senses.

‘I wondered why the physical training time was so short, it was because of that kid. That’s why it’s no use for someone who believes in the family and messes with it. How important is it not to skip training? It’s fortunate that even the professor is sane.’

Philip waved his hand and replied as if it was nothing.

“This is to achieve maximum muscle growth as efficiently as possible. Do you know the principle of muscle growth?”

Felicia shook her head.

“… I don’t know exactly.”

“Muscles in our body are made up of many strands. If they act beyond their capacity, these stems will develop microscopic scars that will take two to three days to heal. In this recovery process, our body remembers the action beyond its ability before, and in order to generate the appropriate muscle strength for that action… … .”

Philip laid out the theories underlying sports science, and Felicia focused on Philip’s explanation.

“… Therefore, strength, muscular endurance, and agility must be trained separately, and physical strength must be trained separately.”

When the explanation was over, Felicia nodded and suddenly narrowed her eyes.

“No, Instructor. If you knew that, you should have told me first! Then I would have trained like that?”

Diana, who was listening quietly by the side, also agreed with Felicia’s words.

“I mean.”

Meanwhile, Instructor Gilmore, unable to comprehend the situation, interrupted as if he was saying something.

“What do you mean? If you take a break from training even for a day, indolence will inevitably dwell in you, and you cannot look to a higher place with a body in which indolence resides. Isn’t that what everyone heard when you first learned swordsmanship?”

Instructor Gilmore was a knight who had received high-level swordsmanship and even cruel training from the Knights of the Baroun family, so he couldn’t understand Philip’s words.

“Of course, people with natural talent like me, professors, and instructors can become strong that way, but most people who walk the path of a sword shouldn’t take a break from training even for a day. The less talented you are, the harder you have to work. Would you explain that to someone sent from the Royal Knights?”

Felicia looked at Philip’s eyes. She also had similar thoughts to Gilmore, but no matter how much she thought about it, she was persuaded because there were no gaps in Philip’s theory.

In addition, it was an explanation that anyone who had trained directly would be able to sympathize to some extent.

Philip sighed and opened his mouth.

“It’s the opposite. Instructor Thames. Being able to become strong by training ignorantly every day is an outstanding talent. Then, does Instructor Thames know the principle of muscle elongation?”

“It’s not like that, but I do know that I shouldn’t take a break from training.”

Instructor Gilmore did not back down, as if he could not yield.

‘I heard that young kkondae is scary.’

Philip had no intention of arguing with him. Anyway, if only Felicia agreed, it would be over.

“Then go to the Head Professor and ask him to change the organization again. I directly asked the head professor, and he readily agreed.”

Instructor Gilmore glared at Philip and nodded.

“Nothing, of course.”

* * *

Instructor Gilmore left the cafe terrace and went straight to the head professor’s lab. Coincidentally, the head professor was reviewing documents in the lab with a pipe in his mouth.

“… … For this reason, we ask for more physical training curriculum organization. Head Professor. Training every other day is something no knightly order would do.”

After hearing all of Instructor Gilmore’s long story, the head professor stared at him with a puzzled expression.

“Instructor Oswald is right, so stop talking nonsense and go do what he says.”

“yes?”

When the perplexed Instructor Gilmore asked, the head professor waved his hand in annoyance.

“If you don’t like it, ask Instructor Oswald for sparring. If you win and come back, I’ll change anything you want. It probably won’t happen, but I will.”

Instructor Gilmore’s expression changed drastically, scratching his pride.

“What do you mean? I also participated in the Battle of Dunburn Plains. Do you think I’m going to lose to an instructor I’ve never experienced before?”

“oh… .”

Emile Panoy admired the new instructor’s spirit. It wasn’t particularly rude to react like that because it touched my pride, so I didn’t feel bad about it.

Although the Knights of the Baroun family were quite strong, it was true that they were at least one step behind the Silver Knights.

A knight who could be called the elite of the Silver Knights was also killed by Philip, but that instructor didn’t seem to be able to do anything.

“No, that’s something I don’t know. So, know what to do. If you win, I will listen to you.”

“It won’t be long.”

From noble mtl dot com

Instructor Gilmore breathed heavily and left the head professor’s office.

* * *

“yes? Dalian?”

Philip was quite taken aback when he saw Instructor Gilmore requesting a sparring out of nowhere.

“yes. Instructor. We’re going to be working together for a while anyway, so wouldn’t it be nice to simply get to know each other’s level of skill?”

In the sight of Instructor Gilmore proposing a match with a red-hot face, Philip could be sure that he had really been to the head professor.

‘Ah, that f*cking old man is real.’

It was clear that the head professor had provoked Instructor Gilmore. Phillip shook his head in embarrassment.

“Um, right now I don’t really like it. I’ll try mixing the swords later when I get a chance. Today is a class with observers, so I don’t want to waste my concentration.”

Instructor Diana, who was watching the scene, suddenly raised her hand.

“Then would you like to share your sword with me for a moment? Over there, Instructor Oswald is much stronger than me, so you should be able to understand his level to some extent through me.”

As if everything went well, Philip added.

“I can’t say I’m stronger than Instructor Diana, but if you defeat her, I’ll be with you for a while.”

When he judged, Instructor Gilmore was dead. He couldn’t defeat Diana even after waking up. She seemed to have attained some enlightenment through bone-shaving practice during her vacation.

“… what. great. You will have to keep your word.”
