I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

“It’s like an idiot. Shouldn’t you look at the opponent and attack?”

Head Professor Emil Panoy clicked his tongue as he saw Instructor Gilmore who came to his office. His appearance was quite pitiful for a knight.

His lips were cracked and bleeding, and his instructor’s uniform was ripped open, revealing a bruised arm.

The head professor admired Philip’s self-control. It was really amazing that he didn’t touch his face as much as he could after getting into a fistfight like that.

Instructor Gilmore muttered with a dark expression.

“… I’ve never seen anyone so good at bare-handed fighting. There was no such thing as a fight at all. When I came to my senses, I found myself lying on the ground.”

“What would it be? just let it be When you live in the original world, ridiculous people often appear. If you become conscious of them one by one, there is no end.”

The head professor advised against it. However, Instructor Gilmore’s expression did not change.

“Is that really right? This… Isn’t that too unfair? For 10 years after I turned 18, I risked my life to fight the demons. However, Instructor Phillip Oswald pretends he never went through a proper war.”

The head professor shook his head as if he was dumbfounded.

“If you put that into perspective, those field commanders who have been on the battlefield for 20 years should have become grand masters rather than Auror Masters by now. Philip Oswald, he’s just a brat. Well, if I had to find a reason for being great, it would be because I was lucky enough to have a good head and a good body, but what if I was jealous of that?”

“… .”

“Now, while you are chewing on your inferiority here, the farmers will be hoeing and chewing on the withered roots of the grass. From their point of view, you must be someone who is about to explode with happiness. Of course, you’ve been subjected to harsh training since childhood, but it’s none of their business.”

“What do you mean… All right.”

Gilmore Thames was no fool, so I could see why the head professor was saying that.

I just didn’t want to admit it.

“… I don’t know if it’s really possible to have so much time left.”

After the change in the class process, the biggest beneficiary was the faculty. Previously, I had to teach for five or six hours a day, three days a week at most, but now I only had to teach for two hours, five days a week.

In the spare time, I could prepare for the next class, or if I had nothing to do, I could relax in the faculty lounge.

The other instructors in the Faculty of Swordsmanship weren’t very close to the professor, but Philip and Diana were able to use Felicia’s lab instead of a break room, so they tended to enjoy refreshments there in their spare time.

“Before the reorganization, it was too harsh. This is normal.”

At Philip’s words, Felicia gnashed her teeth and nodded.

“You’re right. Philip. You can’t imagine how much I was abused just for being the youngest professor. Have you ever slept more than four hours a day? Managing the 1st and 2nd year at the same time, and even the female dormitory deputy director! Is this really too much?”

It seemed like there was quite a bit of accumulation during that time. Diana, who was quietly listening, also nodded slightly as if agreeing.

“Felicia, you haven’t even trained properly. Even after learning the technique that Instructor Oswald passed on. If it were me, I think I would have quit my professorship because of the unfairness.”

Felicia was taken aback. In fact, she was able to wield the spinning sword quite proficiently now. Her talent was originally something that could represent a generation.

But she didn’t say anything about it. It was for Diana.

“Hey, Professor Felicia. Are you there?”

Just then, an urgent voice was heard outside the lab door. It was an unfamiliar voice.

“yes. Come on in.”

Felicia, startled, answered. Then the door burst open and a magic faculty instructor in a robe entered.

“I’m sorry, but it’s really urgent! During Professor Vanessa Vitolo’s Summoning Magic class, the professor and students have gone missing! Head Professor Panoi and Professor Evelyn ordered all currently available personnel to be mobilized for the search operation… .”

He delivered the news with a pale face.

“Where is the missing location?”

When Philip, who suddenly remembered something, asked, the instructor pointed west.

“It is the forest next to the west gate of the academy. Almost every faculty member is heading that way now.”

‘That’s it.’

Phillip let out a small sigh. That was the only group disappearance to happen at this point.

“I will move right away.”

“yes! please!”

Sweating profusely, the instructor left the lab to find another faculty member.

“What happened all of a sudden… ?”

Felicia tilted her head with a puzzled expression. Professor Vanessa Vitolo was the newly recruited specialist in summoning magic.

He was a genius who was once called a promising player in the green mage tower, but Philip didn’t know that.

“I don’t know what will happen, so I’d better hurry.”

At Philip’s words, Felicia and Diana nodded in agreement. If the professor went missing as well, this wasn’t normal.

Philip, Diana, and Felicia soon arrived in the forest west of the academy and ran into Emile Panoy.

“I don’t have time to explain, so you three team up and search. If you see anything strange, report it right away. Eight people have disappeared, so even if clues come out, it should have come out earlier, but I don’t know what’s going on.”

It was the same with Emil Panoy, a fully matured Aura Master, who couldn’t understand why.

“Suffer.”

Philip bowed his head once to say goodbye without saying anything, and then started walking in the lead.

Since there was no other information anyway, Felicia and Diana also silently followed behind him. However, Philip’s walking speed was suspiciously fast.

As he walked as if he knew his destination, Felicia lightly poked Philip’s shoulder with her finger.

“Brother, you should know where you are going, right?”

“I feel something strange over here. It’s getting closer.”

When Philip answered that, Felicia was at a loss for words. I felt something, but I didn’t know what to say. Phillip, who went on without hesitation, soon discovered something.

It was an unnaturally open rabbit hole. After taking a few steps closer, I felt a strong pull from the entrance to the rabbit hole. It was as if it had the will to suck up everything in its vicinity.

Professor Vanessa Vitolo and the students in her summoning magic class must have been sucked down this rabbit hole.

‘It hasn’t been that long, so the map hasn’t been initialized yet. If you go in now, you’ll be able to enter the same field.’

Beyond that rabbit hole was, so to speak, an event map.

From noble mtl dot com

It was a place that led to a field with tricky and strange effects, and Philip didn’t know where it was going. However, if they were summoned to a field of high difficulty, it would be difficult for professors and students to survive.

Philip pondered for a moment whether Felicia and Diana would be of any help, then gestured to them.

“The two of you, come here for a second… .”

“huh? what? Did you find out anything?”

Philip felt a little guilty as Felicia approached, her big, clear eyes blinking, but he made up his mind and nodded.

“I feel a strange power around here. Probably near that tree. Instructor Farrenhal, please come for a while.”

“yes. Instructor.”

Diana also walked in the direction Philip indicated, along with Felicia, without any doubt. As they approached a few meters, they felt a strong pull on their bodies and widened their eyes.

“… huh?”

“uh… ?”

It felt like being sucked into a whirlpool. They hugged each other and resisted together, but soon they screamed and disappeared down the rabbit hole that widened in an instant.

“Quaaa! Philip!”

“aaagh!”

Phillip silently followed them down the rabbit hole. As I fell while looking up, I saw that the open entrance was blocked.

It seemed that he was on the last train.

‘… You can’t roll like a dog by yourself. let’s suffer together Sister, Instructor Diana.’

* * *

Philip looked around to adjust to the changed landscape. The place he was moved to was a wide beach. Crunchy sand was trodden on, and several shipwrecks were visible.

The two women who entered first greeted Philip. Felicia looked quite moved when Philip came right after her.

“… You didn’t have to be dragged along. Philip.”

“Since my sister suddenly disappeared, how could I not follow her?”

Philip acted casually, ignoring the voice of his conscience. As soon as he entered this place, he recognized the identity of this field.

‘Uninhabited field. Its attribute is magic seal. it’s better If you find an escape point, you can leave right away.’

It was much better than fields with special conditions. There were also fields where you had to defeat a boss or survive while enduring the endless attacks of undead hordes.

However, all techniques using mana, including magic, aura, and spells, could not be used here.

In other words, it was a place where even the Aura Master was simply a swordsman with superior physical strength and skill.

The wizard didn’t even have to speak. Here they were only feeble scholars.

“… Auror is not responding. Why are you doing this?”

Diana muttered with a worried expression.

“That goes for me too. It seems that this place is the problem, so let’s find the missing people first and then find a way to escape.”

When Philip said it with a nonchalant expression, Felicia and Diana were at least a bit relieved.

“Looking at the round shape of the beach, this place looks like an uninhabited island. There may be ferocious beasts, so I think you should be careful.”

Felicia silently nodded at Philip’s warning, then became uneasy at the sudden thought.

“mind… If magic is also sealed here, what will Professor Vitolo and the students do?”

“Professor Vitolo, if his judgment is normal, he’s probably trying to find a cave or something to hide in. I need to go inside the island.”

There were not many places to hide here anyway. It was only a matter of searching in a few places, so Philip started walking without hesitation.

The forest on the uninhabited island was dense. It was more like a jungle than a forest. It wasn’t very useful for cutting the black branches the party had or pruning the leaves.

To conserve physical strength, the party took turns paving the way.

“There are traces of people passing by here. Philip.”

Felicia found a piece of cloth hanging from a branch. It seemed to be a piece of a student robe. There were also several footprints, so it seemed that the missing people could be found just by following them.

“… And I see signs of a beast.”

Philip found something else. It was wolf fur, excrement, and footprints.

“Then we must hurry!”

Felicia, in a hurry, ran through the thick jungle. And after about ten minutes or so, I saw a cave opened at the bottom of the cliff.

There were students from the Faculty of Magic and Professor Vitolo.

With their backs to the cave, they held six wolves in check with crude spears made from roughly broken tree branches, which looked dangerous like candles in the wind.

The wolves were organized and were looking for an opening without attacking recklessly.

‘… nine professors. Fortunately, no one died.’

Philip let out a sigh of relief and leaped forward like an arrow. Then the wolves hurriedly turned toward Philip.

Philip, who didn’t miss the chance, cut the belly of the wolf on the far left with the sword at his waist.

The wolf’s warm intestines and fishy blood poured between them, and soon the wolf next to him rushed to bite Philip’s neck.

Phillip, who had been calculating that in the first place, rotated his body half a turn and cut the wolf’s neck. After the two wolves died in an instant, Felicia and Diana flew in and attacked one wolf each.

Because they couldn’t use the aura, they couldn’t kill the wolf at once like Phillip, but they were able to inflict considerable damage.

“Break! Meowing!”

The wolves screamed and fell or retreated, and the other two wolves turned and ran away as soon as they were at a disadvantage.

After the battle, Philip looked at Professor Vanessa Vitolo and eight other students.

They were looking up to the swordsmanship instructors as if they were looking at angels who had descended from the sky.

Philip noticed two familiar girls among the group.

“Cheryl? Johnny’s?”

“Instructor Oswald?”

“Instructor!”

An orange-haired aristocratic girl who was strangely unlucky, and a scholarship student girl who worked at the library, who was just a friend and got hit in class, were standing with wooden spears in their hands.

Their clothes were all ripped, revealing bare skin on their shoulders and sides, and they looked pitiful enough to be called beggars.

‘… Aren’t you so unlucky with me?’

Apparently, Philip couldn’t help but think so.
