I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

47 – Instructor Recruitment

Benedetta and Elianne used water magic to extinguish the forest fire all morning.

It was the result of using all the magic potions in the bag.

“Oh, it’s hard….”

“Ha ha ha….”

Eliane and Benedetta sat down on the ground.

Of course, Benedetta didn’t say that it was as difficult as the forest fire she started.

It was already dawn.

Delia also devoted herself to treating the victims.

“Nice job, both.”

He stroked Elianne and Delia with both hands.

… Both of them like me, so I thought it would be a bit rewarding to be praised by the guy I like.

Fortunately, as intended, the two laughed and liked it.

Delia had a mild personality in the original game, so there was little awkwardness, but Elianne was just like a different person.

“I’m ready, Joel!”

From noble mtl dot com

Rando came to my side and reported.

Now it’s time to take the victims and descend.

Since the nationalities of the victims were rather diverse, we decided to take them to Lauris rather than to Enna Village.

“Then I’m good enough—”

“Wherever you go, Ms. Clava.”

“Ugh.”

I tried to sneak away.

She must have understood the meaning of attacking the party where the princess of the kingdom was.

She said cautiously, tucking her pointy ears under her.

“If you look at it once….”

Looks like an elf, but isn’t actually an elf.

To be precise, mixed blood.

There are no pure-blooded elves in this world.

In terms of ingredients, no matter how much you resemble an elf, the actual elf gene rate is probably less than 10%.

“If you go on like this, you will be wanted for attempting to murder Princess Benedetta.”

“Ah….”

Klava with her shoulders drooping like a dead child.

She is an S-class mercenary, but her form is just like a child.

She was portrayed as a bit childish in the original game, but seeing her in person, it felt more like that.

“Do you want to leave now, boy?”

Luisa asked, carrying her bag on her back.

“I do.”

Perhaps, due to time, the morning lecture was truant.

… Had it not been for Clava’s misunderstanding, she wouldn’t have taken up so much time.

You have to make sure you pay for the truancy.

Added victims to the Lauris Treaty Organization.

I heard from the person in charge that he was trying to start an internal investigation after reports of people going missing.

It was inevitable, but it was a very late response.

He testified positively about Clava. She said

She met by chance and cooperated with the bandit subjugation.

She stated that the forest fire was also started by bandits.

“Well, then I’m really here now—”

“I didn’t say nice things for free.”

“Ugh….”

“Follow me.”

I took Clava and went back to the academy dormitory.

As expected, it is already noon.

I couldn’t sleep a sigh, so drowsiness came over me.

I wanted to jump into bed and sleep.

But I have to go to the afternoon lecture.

Before that, I have to work on Clava.

“Mrs. Clava, a claim for damages.”

“Cow, compensation for damages?”

She handed the document written with her pen to her with a flick.

Written the amount of psychological damage for attempted murder.

The claimants are all party members including myself.

In other words, Princess Benedetta and Elianne, the third daughter of the duchess, are included.

“Since you’re an S-class mercenary, you must have this much money, right?”

“Oh, no, that’s….”

I know everything that isn’t there.

Because Clava is the type of person who spends a lot of money.

I never save money.

“Isn’t it possible?”

She nodded her head quickly.

I deliberately sighed and continued.

“I can’t help it. Then I’ll cut it in half, so pay for that at least.”

“… I have no money saved up.”

“Mrs. Clava, are you asking me to just move on without taking any responsibility?”

“Ugh….”

Klava lowered her head, sticking out her mouth like a pouting child.

This much pressure should be enough.

She just has to present her with virtually only one option.

“Mrs. Clava, choose one of the two. Either pay it back at once with interest within 3 months, or pay it in installments without interest while working as an academy instructor for 3 years.”

Of course, my intention is the latter.

She wanted to be her instructor at her academy.

To be precise, to train the warrior party members including myself.

Her skill is [Weapon Master].

A truly fraudulent skill that allows you to know how to handle any weapon well once you hold it in your hand.

Thanks to that skill, she was able to become an S-class mercenary.

‘Perhaps he can handle horse guns well.’

Even if you have the [Time Stop] Skill, you cannot rely solely on the [Time Stop] Skill as the number of times the skill is limited.

The horse gun skill also needs to be polished continuously.

None of the academy instructors use horse guns right now, so I had no choice but to learn on my own, but since she uses the [Weapon Master] Skill, there’s a good chance she’ll teach me her horse gun skills.

In short, I wanted to become your disciple now, so I was asking you to become my master.

It may seem like a threat to others, but from my point of view, anyway.

“But can a mercenary work as an academy instructor… ?”

Clava asked cautiously.

It will definitely be unprecedented.

However, few people doubt the skills of S-class mercenaries.

If I, Elianne, and Benedetta actively recommend it, the academy cannot unconditionally reject it.

“Don’t worry, we will take care of that.”

“If that’s the case, I have no choice but to work as an instructor for three years and pay it back without interest…” .”

She let out a long sigh and drooped her shoulders.

She succeeded in initiating discipleship.

I only slept for two hours in bed during lunchtime.

After taking a quick shower, I went to take an afternoon lecture.

Of course, this afternoon’s lecture is basic magic.

I’m tired, but it’s a subject that moves the body.

“Hi Joel….”

Lando bowed weakly to me with a sleepy expression.

He, like me, seemed to have skipped lunch and slept at least a little in the room.

Said Caitlyn, who was behind her, tilting her head.

“Why are you both so sleepy?”

“Ah, that….”

Landau explained to her for me.

It’s because it took a long time to subdue the bandits after going to the escort quest.

She opened her eyes wide.

“Awesome….”

Well, it’s rare to find someone who actually destroyed a group of bandits while doing an escort quest.

If I hadn’t known there was a bandit behind me, I would have killed six [Goblin babies] As quickly as I normally do.

The bandits must have felt that our skills were not formidable and sent them to Enna Village.

“Truly Caitlyn. I have something to give you.”

“Are you going to give it to me?”

I took out [Hamelin’s Small Flute] From my pocket.

And she held out in front of her.

“Blood?! Are you hurt?!”

“It’s not my blood, it’s the blood of the bandit boss I had.”

“Ah, me again…. But do you want me to play the flute stained with human blood?”

Certainly no one wants to play a bloody flute.

But since it was made of wood, there was no way to get rid of the blood.

Obviously, Lando stabbed his neck, but he accidentally even popped out of the vest’s pocket….

“Caitlyn, let me suggest one thing.”

“What?”

“I want you to join our party as a tank.”

“Huh? Tanker??”

She is originally an assassin-type melee dealer who uses a dagger.

So it’s no wonder that my offer to come as a tank sounds ridiculous.

I have to convince you now.

“Just do it like the last time we went into the underground dungeon together.”

“Still, being a tanker without a shield makes no sense.”

“With the feeling of avoiding monster attacks, not the feeling of blocking them.”

Caitlyn said “Umm….” She tilted her head.

I was forced to take over the last time, but asking me to continue working as a tank in the future would be a different story.

It’s like throwing away the dagger technique I’ve learned so far.

“Does that flute have something to do with Tanker?”

“Yes. Tanks are much better when they have provocation skills, don’t you?”

“Yeah, that’s because I’m not a tanker.”

“If you blow this flute, the monster will light up its eyes and attack you.”

“You don’t like something?!”

How to persuade….

In the game, if you just put the flute in the equipment window and place it in front, it functioned as a tanker on its own.

You can’t blindly drag him into a dungeon and tell him to be a tanker.

“From my point of view, you are good at being a tank. Your grades will be much better.”

“I have no intention of getting good grades!”

I tried this by chance, but it still didn’t work.

As I recall, in her case, her parents forced her into the academy.

Her goals are at odds with becoming an entrepreneur like her parents.

“Then what if I told you to pay me to hire you as a tanker?”

“… Are you hiring?”

Her eyes widened when I gave her the amount.

As expected, she is capitalist to the core.

Money is the driving force behind action.

She said quietly as she rolled her eyeballs around.

“I’m not questioning you, but I’m not sure I can do well as a tank.”

I had never played a tank before, so it was natural.

“Why don’t you practice at the training ground? I also called the instructor separately.”

“Who did you call?”

“Clava.”

“That mercenary Clava?!”

Befitting a republic that is most friendly to mercenaries among the three countries, the reaction was the most intense.

Clava is basically a solo type who doesn’t organize a party and takes care of things alone.

In other words, unless he was holding a shield, he fought while avoiding monster attacks.

Even if you are not a professional evasion tank, you should be able to teach it to a certain extent.

Caitlin asked, glancing at my face.

“You prepared everything for me… ?”

“Well, that’s right.”

She’s not just for her though.

Her face turned slightly red.

And then she nodded her head.

“I’ll try as you said. Even if it doesn’t go well, don’t say too much!”

“Didn’t I tell you before that you have to trust your eyes?”

“Yeah, that’s true. Okay! I’ll try!! To suit your eyes!!”

“Yes. Shall I stroke you in the sense of cheering up?”

Cried Caitlyn, turning her head away.

With her arms crossed.

“I don’t need anything like that!”

At times like this, he was cute because he had a little childlike side to him.
