The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician

24 – Professor??? (3)

“You are a new student entering school this year!”

“…?”

Curly scarlet hair, and thin glasses.

‘Huh?’

The student who spoke was a character Ern knew.

She was Rebecca, a second-year senior.

The reason Ern knew Rebecca wasn’t just because she was at the top of her grade. She had a nickname that her users gave her affectionately.

It was just an explanation.

-Huh? Want to practice? Then try using the training room to the east.

-You are very tired. In those cases, drinking a potion worked well.

-They are urgently looking for a wizard in the shopping district right now. How about giving it a try?

Rebecca was a conscientious student at the top of her grade, so she was a person who knew a variety of information inside and outside the academy.

Although she was not a heroine, she was a grateful NPC who provided various information to the player.

‘… Are you really trying to explain again?’

Meanwhile, Rebecca interpreted Erne’s silence while he was immersed in her reminiscences as her silent affirmation.

“You’re trying to preview before the semester starts. That’s really good attitude! I had the same thing.”

It was Rebecca, closing her eyes and nodding her head with a triumphant expression.

There was enough reason for Rebecca to mistake Ern for being her new student.

As first-year students had not yet been issued school uniforms, Ern was wearing civilian clothes.

Also, he was reading the basic magic book, turning the pages one by one.

Only freshmen were able to read such basic books. It seemed clear that he was trying to study before class started.

I was also old. It lacked a bit of a green feel, but I thought it was just a little presbyopia, so I decided to pass it up.

‘First of all, you are not a classmate or a senior.’

If you work hard around the academy for a year, you will eventually become familiar with the faces of all the students. And for Rebecca, Ern was her first meeting.

‘The mentality of trying to give a tip to a first grader is the same.’

He continued speaking without Ern even having a chance to reply.

“Oh, by the way, I’m a second year student. If it’s okay, would you mind telling me a little bit? Although my skills are mediocre, I studied hard.”

Rebecca was excited. Because looking at her new student in front of her, she felt as if she was seeing her past self.

The difference is that last year she didn’t have a senior to help her, but this year she will have a freshman!

It was a way to recognize peers. Rebecca was confident that the junior in front of her had the same passion for learning as she did.

‘Otherwise, there’s no way I’d stop by the library already!’

Meanwhile, Ern was intrigued. If you are at the top of your grade, you will definitely be good at theory.

Furthermore, Rebecca was not a magician who was an incredible genius like the Sensia Mage Tower.

-Taplord. I don’t understand this.

-Oh, this? Can I just draw a magic circle in my head and calculate it?

– So how do you do that calculation….

-You can just do it. Why are you doing so well?

-… That’s right.

I thought it would be easier to get a feel for it if I heard an explanation from Rebecca, who belongs to the hard-working group.

‘… Should I give it a listen?’

Ern quietly nodded her head.

“If you draw a magic circle like this, you will get mana…”

“Honestly, that professor isn’t that good. He’s very strict, so my grade was immediately lowered…”

“Don’t just try to memorize runes; look for their patterns…”

After listening for about 5 minutes, Ern came to a conclusion.

‘Hmm. ‘I have no idea.’

It wasn’t Rebecca’s problem. She was a reliable explainer.

Even Ern, a magic nerd, could tell that Rebecca was trying to explain kindly and easily.

However, the problem was that she lacked even the basics.

Rebecca was preparing her meal and trying to feed her, but Ern didn’t even know how to open his mouth.

‘The academy is not easy….’

It was the Kagon Academy, where the kingdom’s flying and crawling magical talents gathered.

‘In the first place, aren’t these people and I different from the brain level… ?’

Even as Ern was thinking about her pessimism, Rebecca’s kind explanation continued.

“…Anyway, it would be quite convenient to calculate it that way. Do you understand?”

Ern pretended to understand and nodded her head.

“Oh, yes. I listened carefully. Thank you.”

‘I’m a freshman after all.’

Inadvertently using informal language to professors or seniors was a common mistake made by freshmen from noble families.

Kagon Academy prioritized equality and learning. And in front of this value, the nobility of social status took a backseat.

Of course, it was not enough to emphasize its virtue through words alone.

It was the school’s policy to ensure that students, no matter who they were, adhered to the rules for as long as they were enrolled.

If there was someone who was obsessed with title or family, Kagon would gladly kick them out. Muddying the water was not tolerated.

It went beyond being strict and even seemed paranoid.

But that was the belief of the faculty, the philosophy of the academy, and furthermore, the will of previous kings.

‘I just came in and there’s nothing I can do about it.’

You can’t shake off old habits overnight. Rebecca decided to kindly remind us of the academy’s rules.

“You may still be embarrassed, junior, but you know the academy’s rules regarding status, right? You must use honorifics when dealing with seniors or professors. I’m definitely not trying to make a campaign, and if the professor catches you later, you’ll be in real trouble. “

Rebecca had seen her noble friends fall apart in first grade.

‘I was talking about something and it was this.’

Ern, of course, knew the school rules. Even the background of its birth.

“Thank you for your prayers, but I-“

“No, no, it’s because I’m really worried! Royalty is no exception to the rule!”

Rebecca thought he was trying to spit out her family name. But what she heard was shocking.

“I’m actually a professor.”

“?”

“….”

“I didn’t hear you clearly. What…?”

“I am a professor.”

After hearing the unbelievable news, Rebecca blinked and tried to come to her senses.

“…This is Ern, who will be taking charge of the combat practice class starting this year.”

It seemed like she couldn’t believe it, so Ern took out her teacher’s ID card from her space and showed it to her.

“……”

Before Rebecca’s eyes, a reality that she found difficult to accept unfolded. Her mind went blank and the sounds around her seemed to fade into the distance. She was overcome with feelings of astonishment and confusion.

“Gyo, professor???”

Rebecca’s mouth opened. Her parched lips could not be closed.

‘Boo, clearly a junior….’

In Rebecca’s mind, scenes from her past flashed like flashes of light.

Surprisingly, Ern only nodded her head when she offered to explain, but she didn’t say anything.

‘ㄴ, what did I say???’

I wrote informally throughout. But this was force majeure. Because I really didn’t know that the person I was talking to was a professor!

‘And he explained magic theory while looking at a magic book…. What was it again? .’

At that time, Rebecca suddenly remembered her own quote.

-Honestly, that professor is not that good. Since you are very strict, your score was immediately lowered…

‘It’s ruined!!!’

Rebecca’s lips began to tremble, and a sound like she was breathing could be heard.

“Ah, uh, uh…”

Eventually, her Ern, who saw that Rebecca’s thinking function had stopped, comforted her.

“I won’t hold you responsible, so don’t worry. It’s largely my fault for not speaking properly.”

Rebecca asked in her trembling voice.

“Why, why…? I wish I had told you in advance…”

Ern gave a reasonable answer. She said, ‘Actually, I seriously thought about learning magic?’ She couldn’t answer.

“I was curious about whether she could teach her juniors skillfully. She’s good at it.”

“Uh, yes… Thank you…”

“I’m serious. I think you have a talent for teaching.”

“hahahaha….”

“Are you interested in helping your junior?”

I knew, of course, that Rebecca was a very broad person. This was a trap question.

“Well, I’m kind of like that. Yes…”

“That’s good. Then, can I ask for your help next time?”

Ern wanted to borrow Rebecca’s help in two aspects.

First of all, it was the development of the first-year named character. If they were stuck in theory there was nothing Erne could do to help.

At that time, she didn’t know if she would be able to solve it somehow if she could get a tutor from a second-year senior.

Her second was her own study. If she asked, ‘She wants to teach this to the kids, how can I explain it to her?’ She might end up getting a very informative lecture.

“Yes? Me, me?”

“Yes.”

“Is there anything I can help you with?…”

“You explain the theory well. I thought it would be good to hold a study group.”

“Ah, that’s good then. hahahahaha…”

There was an awkward silence. Rebecca took this opportunity to quickly decide to leave her post.

‘Let’s jump!’

She said there would be no regrets, but she didn’t know.

“Kyo, Professor. Thank you for your suggestion. I will definitely consider it positively. And I was very rude. I’m sorry for what happened earlier… Okay… Then that’s enough…”

Rebecca quickly nodded, turned around, and started walking along her path.

‘Still, I’m glad she only said she was a second year student when she introduced herself! Since you don’t know who I am, if I run away like this, somehow… ‘

“Rebecca.”

‘You know me!!!’

Rebecca froze like a statue on the spot at the sound of Ern calling her.
