53 – 53. The Last Disciple

I should have looked into the professor when he came to pick me up on an errand.

“Professor Emeritus Ivan.”

When I heard that, that was the first thought that came to mind.

I don’t know why.

They say that when a person is dumbfounded, their head is filled with meaningless thoughts. Is this it?

I decided to come to my senses.

First, let’s organize the situation.

At the same time as ‘declaring professor emeritus’, he turned his chair that was facing away from me and showed his face.

In a fairly old-fashioned way,

The young girl in front of you is in perfect shape.

“Hey…. I didn’t expect him to jump around like a kid who just received a gift. But still, what am I if I don’t react?”

Nevertheless, it steadily maintains a lightness that borders on frivolity.

If it weren’t for her rank, she was so short that she would have looked like a kid.

An overwhelming moment to complete it.

The purple hair shined in the backlight,

Thanks to his unique pessimistic derision, he is a person who does not appear bright.

The pinnacle of an institution called Russell Academy,

This is the principal.

I returned a short comment before the principal’s expression frowned.

“Why?”

Sudden promotion.

The salary negotiation was not reviewed positively, but the job title was changed.

Inferring why this happened is,

Actually, it wasn’t difficult.

It was a question to get a definite answer.

And, the answer came back.

“Are you humble or shameless? Or is it both? Anyway, it seems like they really want to hear an unfamiliar compliment from this principal.”

“I never said that.”

“Of course, it’s because our instructor Ivan has been recognized for his competence. Accordingly, this is the maximum sincerity I can give as a principal, but if you are not satisfied, you can cancel.”

A feast of exaggeration.

But, I knew for sure.

“…”

Instructor Miho stands quietly next to the principal.

She, who should have reported this to her principal, decided to treat me.

Neutral.

She was like herself in the sense that she did not use tactics to conceal my achievements and check my influence.

I guess that’s why this butterfly effect occurred.

“Take the appointment letter here. “I believe you don’t want to go to a cringy situation like an award ceremony.”

“I’ll skip it.”

“As expected, I like it. But let me add one thing: you saved the academy.”

She was the type of person who without hesitation even used the expression that she saved the Academy, but I already knew that.

That is a terrible death.

Because I saw the original story unfold.

At this point, there were enough victims that a student cemetery was built on the outskirts of Russell.

Even if things go well and the number can be reduced,

It is impossible to change the future in which a student is attacked by a monster and killed.

No matter how closed this place is.

Because it is not easy to cover up a situation in which students died en masse.

Generally, it would be right for the Academy to turn upside down and for the people and nobles of the Empire to join hands and attack and grab everything they can.

If you think about it with common sense, yes.

The principal in front of us is destroying that common sense.

Thanks to our award-winning diplomatic skills,

No matter what big things happen at the academy.

Thanks to her cleaning up outside of Russell,

There was no such thing as a ‘school closing ending’ in the game.

This is something she also felt when she was a gamer,

That young woman in front of me is really-

“Oh, I think I’ve told you three thousand times to fill your desk with snacks. “Is it empty again?”

“No shame. “I will correct it.”

“Oh, don’t lower your tail. Because I didn’t say anything to you. Instead, beat up Maxwell.”

“I’ll leave Tyler alone.”

“Give it to me.”

Except for battles and nights,

He is a person who can’t do anything.

To the extent that instructor Miho found it so difficult.

I decided to brighten the mood.

“Anyway, isn’t it quite unusual for you to join Russell?”

“That’s right. “It’s thanks to you.”

“…”

“Because not a single person died. There was nothing to explain. “In fact, I wanted to completely conceal it, but that was impossible.”

“As expected, I guess I could see it from outside.”

“Yeah, that crazy guy. “I don’t know where the bird lives, but it dies gracefully. Why are you flying around spewing out magical energy?”

The principal throws up his hands as if he is fed up.

“But thanks to no one dying. “It was easy to understand that the scene that spread through word of mouth was ‘an unfortunate incident that occurred during animal research.'”

“Aha.”

So, I have reduced the workload.

It’s a really good excuse, but since no one died, it would have been easy to convince them.

Velen has truly become a bird.

Anyway, things have changed a little.

I could sense that the principal was very grateful to me through his tone and nuance.

Both publicly and privately.

Then, I don’t want to let this opportunity pass by.

“Anyway, thank you for your hard work. Professor Emeritus and Instructor Ivan, you can go in now. Miho stays for a bit. Last time…. Know?”

“Yes. “You are talking about a dispatch investigation.”

Dispatched investigation.

At this point, the mission that Miho is in charge of.

You have to get that event.

Because it is also an opportunity.

“I will go.”

“Hmm?”

Open your eyes as if in doubt,

A young girl looking at me intently.

“Ivan, you? “Do you know what this is?”

“It’s a dispatched investigation, right?”

“So do you know which one it is?”

“That can be confirmed with documents.”

Dispatched investigation.

This is a duty that arose because the instructors of Russell, one of the empire’s leading armed forces, were so anxious to commute to work like office workers.

A cave suspected to be a dungeon,

Villages where abnormal phenomena were reported, etc.

This is a system that primarily asks Russell to ‘investigate’ unusual events.

As it is an investigation, there are many stories of people saying that there was nothing special when they actually went there.

No, actually, that’s most of it.

But this is a game and an event.

It can’t be anything other than coincidence.

From the protagonist’s perspective, as a student of instructor Miho. That’s why you can’t miss it.

“Are you okay? “It’s been three days now since I woke up from my hospital bed.”

Instructor Miho asked,

I shrugged my shoulders as if it was cool.

And then, I naturally brought out the prepared message.

“Three crises have occurred. There is no guarantee that this will not happen in the future.”

No, it is guaranteed.

We have already confirmed that nothing has happened during the few days since the dispatch.

“So, Instructor Miho must remain in Russell. “It’s the greatest power.”

“That is correct in every detail. But that’s right.”

The principal’s admiration. At the same time, suspicion.

“Why are you so eager? “You are so different from the one I know, it’s giving me a headache now.”

Of course, the answer was also prepared.

“I’d like to take about three people, is that okay?”

“Who? Student?”

“Yes. “Two of them are my students.”

I’m not asking you to like me,

I’m going to give the kids experience.

The excuse of ‘student education’ has solidified the image that Ivan is dead and cannot survive.

The principal looked at me with wide eyes,

“Ah, ahahahahaha!”

Immediately, I burst into laughter.

“Instructor Miho, did you hear? He just woke up from his hospital bed and said he was going to take him to the dispatch to teach the kids!”

“I heard you clearly. That’s a good idea. I wish you would stop pulling….”

“It’s not clothes, and it won’t stretch.”

“I’d rather you pull your clothes on. “My tail hurts.”

After a few silly jokes were exchanged,

“Yes, I allow it. “Please come back.”

An exciting permit has been granted.

“Thank you for your kindness. “Okay then.”

There are three things I brought out of the principal’s office.

“I’m sure. “You’re so crazy, Ivan.”

With the title of professor emeritus,

An event for the foundation.

And-

“This means something good.”

Laughing behind me,

A new connection called the principal.

It was a small gap to turn the tide.

I sit in my private room and look through documents.

And then, the scheduled visitor came.

Knock knock-

“Please come in.”

Squeak-

“Excuse me?”

Adela opens the door and comes in.

He was holding a small box.

While I was negotiating in the principal’s office,

I guess you bought the item you asked for.

I pointed to the chair in front of me.

“Please sit down for a moment.”

“Yes? Yes.”

It was a box placed next to the desk,

There was no need to open it now.

First of all, I had to deliver the news.

It’s an external dispatch that I decided on my own, but I can’t force it.

So, it takes the form of a transaction.

“Adela, I’d like to make a deal.”

“Yes, I will accept.”

“I haven’t even told you my requirements yet.”

“Ah…. Oh right. Yes. “You have to listen.”

This guy is a bit strange.

It feels like a screw is constantly being loosened.

Are you unwell?

Anyway, let’s get to the point.

“I was put in charge of the dispatch investigation, but they said they would take some students with me as a condition. “I would like you to accompany me.”

“Dispatched investigation? Are you leaving the academy?”

“I guess so.”

“With me? “All alone?”

“…Don’t be scared. “My two students will also go with us.”

For a moment, she seemed to be caught up in a strange and eerie misunderstanding that she was staying out alone with Ivan.

She resolved it quickly.

“Ha….”

I am so relieved that I sigh.

What is the life of a maniac?

“Now, it’s your turn. “Tell me what you want.”

“…Hmm. “I already prepared that.”

In her arms, a folded piece of paper emerges.

I knew it intuitively.

From noble mtl dot com

That’s it.

“I hope you will accept me as your disciple.”

Direct disciple application form.

Okay, I was wondering when it would come out.

It is now common knowledge that I am a mess and a crazy person, but

That and this are different.

At an academy that focuses on skill,

I proved my worth twice.

Because she is a merchant,

We have no choice but to react more sensitively to the fluctuations of public opinion than anyone else.

The only obstacle would have been whether working under a crazy instructor would have a negative impact on his reputation.

However, that has now been resolved in some way.

Most of the students, including her, know that my rank changed while I was in the sparring hall.

My evaluation has risen again.

‘He’s an obnoxious instructor, but his skills are clear, and he does the work when it’s time to do it.’

Then there is nothing to be reluctant about now.

I am the most rapidly rising stock in Russell,

She also seems to recognize Beeville Hill.

I took the document and spoke.

“It looks like you finally recognized me.”

Now that we are in a relationship with a priest, I think it would be a good idea to show some discipline.

A dignified line was delivered.

With a feeling somewhere between sweet and sour.

“…Yes? “What now?”

“It is exactly what it says.”

“…”

“Like I recognized you.”

Do you understand now, Adella?

I am the one who will make your talent bloom to the fullest.

I knew,

It seems like that happened to you too.

“Ah, ah….”

It wasn’t a bad line.

If there is one problem.

“That’s right, what I saw is correct…” !”

The reaction of the listener.

It’s a bit excessive.

To the point of embarrassment.
