The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician

40 – Combat Practice Class (6)

‘Perhaps… Is that your preference? ?’

Isn’t that just right…? I like to be treated roughly…

“……”

Erne stroked her face as she thought of something royally insulting.

‘It won’t matter if I roll in first grade.’

Time zone was not the cause. There wasn’t much of a difference just because they were overworked a year earlier.

The only variable was the relationship between Ern and Arestia.

In her original work, he interacted with her as her colleague and friend in the same grade.

But now it is between professor and student.

It was only within the walls of the academy, but Ern was on top anyway.

It was a reversal of relationships that no royal family would have experienced in their lifetime.

‘Now that I think about it, I did follow her orders well even when playing at a party… ‘

Ern stopped her thoughts and shook her head. It was an excessive leap.

It is natural common sense to follow the instructions of the party leader.

Even though Arestia responded well, it was too early for her to come to that conclusion.

‘… Still, it was quite passive.’

When exchanging push and pull with the heroine, there were some characters who appeared a little more enterprising. Like Raina.

But the princess was in the opposite case.

‘No way… Probably not….’

I only observed it during one class. It’s too early to make any guesses.

‘Hey, I don’t know…. ‘You’ll see, right?’

Hoping that her thoughts about Ern were mistaken, she left the sparring grounds.

When the students of class D returned to the dormitory, they were greeted by students of classes A, B, and C.

“Hmm….”

“As expected, this is….”

“The D Peninsula has also rolled around!”

The students of Class D smiled and nodded proudly.

“I lost the damn bet.”

“Well, I should have trusted Professor Ern more.”

“Ugh…. I never thought even the royal family would play a role!”

While the four classes supported each other, a shocking situation was occurring in which only Class E was left out.

To put it bluntly, this was the first time this had happened in the history of the Academy.

“Why don’t you let me wash my school clothes?”

“Ah, this is a ‘medal’. I don’t know about you guys from Class E.”

“…Have you turned around?”

A slight insanity was spreading among the first graders.

***

Class E was on its way to Dalian to take a combat training class.

“…So what kind of person do you think you are, Eve?”

“Huh? Huh…?”

Eve’s mind was complicated.

“Professor Erne.”

“Uh… You’re busy, right…?”

Ern seemed to be completely under construction.

Surprisingly, even though I visited the lab every day, I had never met him before.

If it weren’t for the ghost stories being spread by students in other classes, I would have already written my resignation letter and left the academy.

“…You’re also doing this thing called nervousness.”

Eve gave an answer that was taken out of her context.

“…Yes.”

Class has started.

Ern did not show any special feelings towards Eve, and she just conducted her classes normally.

It was better than ignoring her or making a face, but I couldn’t help but feel like her heart was being squeezed.

“Who wants to try first?”

Eve was the first to raise her hand.

The students in class E had ‘as expected’ faces. Eve had shown a sincere attitude in other classes as well.

On the other hand, Eve applied out of some degree of desperation.

‘If you want to look even a little better….’

Is there a professor who wouldn’t like that if he said he would participate diligently in his class?

Eve just hoped that Ern would understand her feelings.

‘I had a feeling he would come out.’

Meanwhile, Ern had no thoughts.

Eve was always a sincere person even in the original work.

“Okay. Come out.”

‘As expected, I avoided it from the beginning.’

Eve successfully dodged Ern’s first attack.

It was thanks to Ern knowing in advance what an excellent battle mage she was.

Still, considering that she could count on one hand the number of students who successfully evaded it, it was impressive in its own way.

Magic missile attacks continued.

‘Still, it’s a hit and run… Training is the same.’

Eve was rolling hard. However, it was relatively common for her attacks to hit the mark.

At the time of the attack, Eve was dragged from the carriage and crushed by Ern, unable to move.

He had a weak constitution from the beginning.

‘Is the skill there?’

There was no sign of a counterattack.

Although she was talented, she was only a first year student who had barely begun to learn magic properly.

“!”

But when the spear of her mana appeared above Eve’s head, Erne had no choice but to change her judgment.

-Oh.

-Huh?!

-Is this Eve?

‘Are you casting this?’

Ern had no intention of leaving her alone.

Ern’s attack flew towards Eve’s face.

When she flinched, her casting was canceled. As her concentration was broken, her magic calculations were ruined.

-Ah….

-It’s a waste!

-Damn it! I could have punched the professor!

‘No, that guy?’

Ern turned her head and looked at her student who had just uttered her words. As soon as her eyes met, the guy started hiccuping.

-That….

-Cheer up. You’re done.

Her friends gave her words of comfort.

“……”

It felt strange, but Ern focused on Eve again.

She was once again looking for an opportunity to strike back. Her brain rotation was extraordinary.

‘As expected, the magic stats are poor….’

Looking back, he was a desirable talent.

‘No matter how you think about it, it’s right to keep the named characters under control.’

You must secure a name that can kill the devil. That was my only thought from the beginning.

You have to entice the kids somehow!

***

After finishing her class, Erne sent the students away.

‘This concludes the first lesson.’

From class A to class E, everyone performed well without exception.

Ern felt proud. She felt that this would allow her future practice to proceed smoothly.

At that time, someone approached. The sound of footsteps echoed softly in the quiet sparring hall.

“…Professor, excuse me.”

Eve stopped a few steps away from Ern. She then placed her gaze on the floor for a moment, gathering her thoughts.

Eve took a deep breath as she stroked one of her arms with her hand. Her delicate fingers seemed to be shaking slightly.

She was clearly nervous.

Finally, Eve raised her head and looked at Ern.

“Eve. What’s going on?”

Ruby-colored eyes, which were usually filled with calm and confidence, now showed a hint of vulnerability as they faced Ern.

“I would like to apologize for an unpleasant incident that happened a while ago…”

Eve’s voice was calm, but there was a clear hint of regret.

‘… Oh, Winter Castle?’

Ern was having a hectic time these days doing work related to his classes.

As for the rudeness committed by the Knight of the Winter Castle, ‘Someday they will take responsibility for it, right?’ It was something I put away in my mind for a while.

‘Um…. First of all, is he responsible?’

To be honest, I hoped Duke Eisenbern would at least step forward.

But the head of the family was a person of too high a level.

If you think about it, it made sense for Eve, who had the most authority in the field, to take care of the situation.

‘How should I do it?’

Ern quickly shook her head.

Even when the knight of the Winter Castle started a fight, she took advantage of the work and made a profit.

This time, Eve bowed first and came in, so Ern had the upper hand.

Ern stiffened her expression slightly and answered in a low voice.

“Hmm… I was very embarrassed at the time.”

In the end, the strategy he chose was to play ‘a person who still has a fair amount of heart left in him.’

I felt like it would be too rude to get angry openly, and I felt like I would lose money if I forgave him at all.

It was quite some time ago, but it didn’t matter.

This was related to the respect of nobles, and things like this usually did not have an expiration date.

After hearing Ern’s answer, Eve felt as if a dagger had been stabbed in her chest.

“…I’m sorry.”

Eve lowered her head.

She was no longer a princess. She was just a student, and she was someone who caused trouble to her benefactor.

“It was my fault for failing to properly give orders. I made sure to make sure this never happens again.”

“…Really?”

“No one from the Winter Castle will ever disrespect the professor again. Of course, the maximum punishment was given to that knight.”

“I see…”

“I know it’s shameless… But if you give me another chance, Eisenbern-“

“Eve, this is Kagon Academy.”

“….”

The scope of school regulations was wide. It is also prohibited to pressure or cajole others based on a student’s background.

Of course, the reason Ern cut off Eve’s conversation was not due to a noble will to uphold Kagon’s philosophy.

‘There is also the Eisenbern symbol anyway.’

She had already been invited as her guest, and was even credited with saving Eve. No matter what she added here, it wouldn’t be noticeable.

From No ble mt L dot c om

It would have been better to use Eve herself.

She was Ern, who had decided to recruit Eve while sparring with her earlier.

Meanwhile, Eve bit her lip after hearing Ern’s words.

‘If you do this, you’re avoiding responsibility again…’ .’

It was like passing on the duties assigned to her to her family.

Moreover, this is a land of learning. It was impossible to bring up Eisenbern in a place like this.

But Eve couldn’t think of what to do as a student.

‘I…’ What can I do… ?’

I felt helpless. All I can think of are ways that passed through my family.

Eve desperately thought of a way to make up for her mistake, but it was not enough.

“I’m sorry… I’ll do anything…”

In the end, what she threw away was a blank check.

“Anything?”

“…Yes.”

Ern grinned.
