chapter 11
11 – Having children is a big deal.
Julia Bryden.
Her first memory with her, the second princess of her empire, was not very good.
No, it was bad. When I recall the terrible memories of her that were deeply imprinted on her thanks to her.
“… Does this mean that the hero, no, the summoned human?”
“Yes, Princess. We are still figuring out the exact identity.”
“He said he might be a servant of the demons… Ha, because of such an insignificant man, the imperial family… The future of the continent… It couldn’t be more enlightening.”
Her first memory of her was in the basement of her imperial palace. It was made when he was relatively sane.
When she was wronged, it wasn’t long before she was locked in a dungeon.
A woman named Hwangnyeo came to me accompanied by knights around her.
Of course, it probably wasn’t for the purpose of having a conversation with me.
Just to see the face of the culprit who ruined the future of the continent and brought down the authority of the imperial family.
It wasn’t what I wanted, but it was a time when I had gotten used to that kind of gaze to some extent thanks to the treatment I had received over the past few days.
“For a high treason, you look very comfortable. Thanks to someone, the imperial family went into such an uproar.”
Those were her last words.
At the time, I heard a lot of harsh words in the name of being investigated, so there was no blow to that extent.
On the contrary, at the time, I was even thankful that she didn’t bother me like other people and left right away.
However, it did not take long before I learned what her last words meant.
-Quaaa
The torture started in earnest after she went there.
Even though there was no information that could be obtained from me anyway.
Because of that one word of the princess, I had to suffer a terrible fate until I came to the academy.
And after that first meeting with the princess, she never set foot in her basement again.
No, maybe you don’t know. Maybe he was watching me suffer from somewhere.
“Write… As expected, these scars don’t disappear easily.”
When I think of that time, the scars I had at the time are painful.
It wasn’t long after the academy’s semester started that I met the princess again.
The princess was also supposed to be enrolled at the time I started working at the academy.
“Like a dog… “
How can you make a human do such a terrible thing and then sell it with such a calm face.
He was the most disgusting and terrifying human being I have ever come to know in this world.
Her molars still chattered whenever she bumped into her.
Nevertheless, she always harassed me with the same expression as back then.
“… Ian? What’s the matter?”
“Oh, nothing. Just… “
“Is it because of that scar? It was before you came to the academy, right?”
Thinking of what happened during the day, I forgot that Miya was by my side and fell into a swamp of anger.
Miya, who suddenly saw me with a hardened expression, approached me with a worried expression.
“Right. I was suddenly concerned… “
“Really? Then… yap!”
“… What are you doing?”
“If you do this, the pain will go away. I learned it from her mother when she was little.”
Miya twirled her hand against her scar that ran down her short sleeve.
It looks like a strange doctor from a movie you saw in the past in modern times is using magic.
A mischievous smile appeared on her face as she turned her hand around seriously, but again, it was so cute that I patted her head without realizing it.
For some reason, the pain went away a little. It wasn’t really painful in the first place, it must have been phantom pain.
“Thank you. It’s a little better thanks to you.”
“hehehe… “
Miya stayed at my house longer, thinking that she wouldn’t come often after that.
And for some reason, it seems that there is more aegyo than before.
Besides, now that I’ve given permission once, she keeps trying to sleep in my bed, so I’m not even going to access the bed.
She said she could get really intolerant of sleeping with her just one more time. What the hell, he’s not careful.
“More than that, Ian. Today… “
“No. No way.”
“I haven’t told you yet!”
“You’re going to say you’re going to sleep anyway. It’s absolutely impossible, so prepare to go back soon. You said you had a hard time making excuses to her colleagues back then.”
“Huh… Then listen to me because I have something to say instead.”
“Okay.”
Miya straightened her back and sat down, straightening her halfway posture.
Her slave’s clothes were thin, so Miya’s curvaceous body was fully exposed. She
She had a hard time handling her gaze as she was dressed menacingly, even though she was obviously covered up.
“So… I’m only going to say it once, so you have to listen straight?”
“Okay, so speak quickly.”
“Yes… then… I’m actually, so… “
Beep-
“Huh?!”
“Uh, what?”
The moment Miya was about to say something, the door that couldn’t be opened burst open.
“Are the slaves in a relationship? At this late hour.”
“Eh, eh… ? That, that, that… “
“Huh… “
There stood Professor Lydia, who saved me from monsters.
“Turn it off… It was really today… “
What an excuse… I should have done it, but Miya, why are you glaring at the professor so terribly?
*
“… I don’t want to be involved in this part, but the academy cannot take responsibility if a child is born as a result of the acts of slaves. Exile is the only action you can take. It was also because there were no male slaves to prevent such an incident.”
“… You don’t have to worry about that part. Nothing happened.”
“… What. All right. That wasn’t the purpose of today, so let’s move on. If they are caught again, they will not escape punishment.”
“… Yes.”
At that time, I stopped by the professor’s office for a while. This is where she apparently wrote a confidentiality oath.
Fortunately, being alone with Miya ended with mere caution.
Miya might have been angered by her attitude shown earlier, but fortunately she didn’t show any signs of that.
That never happened in the first place, so don’t worry Professor. It’s a big deal when you have children.
For some reason, I tend to notice in front of the professors. I guess it’s a habit that’s been around for a long time.
“So what happened… ?”
In order not to incur the professor’s anger, he smiles servilely and puts his hands together. This seems to have been a habit for a long time.
Miya safely returned to her slave quarters.
Since there was nothing like that time, I had no idea why Professor Lee was looking for me again this time.
Why did you stay at the academy until this time, even if it wasn’t even your turn on duty?
No, in the first place, even if you were on duty, you wouldn’t be staying at the academy.
“The reason I found you today is… “
Her hand goes to her pocket. Then, small pieces of paper slowly appear.
What thesis is this time Professor. Hopefully this time it won’t be an assignment plan. Professor, why do you always post your name without touching it? In this part, it is good to follow the example of the young professors and lead by example……
“This is it.”
“Keep it off… ?”
A well-folded piece of paper finally appeared before my eyes.
Unbeknownst to me, bad memories from the past came to my mind, but fortunately it wasn’t that kind of thing.
No, in the first place, since I’m not a graduate student anymore, there’s no way I’m going to make you do that. I’m so glad
“This is… ?”
“You should know what it is. Try unfolding it.”
“Ah… ?”
I carefully picked up the paper and unfolded it.
Once, twice.
When I unfolded the folded paper, a familiar handwriting came out.
“This is… “
“I know this is the answer you wrote. The handwriting evaluation has already been completed.”
It was the answer sheet for the contest that I submitted anonymously.
Judging from the fact that there is an oath of secrecy that I had previously written on the table, it seemed to be contrasted with that handwriting.
“That, that… “
Excuses seemed useless.
I didn’t understand why they went to such trouble to find me in the first place.
Certainly, it is strange that a slave can calculate 5th tier magic, but…
I was even more perplexed because I hadn’t even thought of finding an anonymous correct answer.
“Among the cadets of the academy, there is no one skilled enough to calculate this magic at this speed. That is literally impossible.
It is a 5th tier trance magic operation that even professors have trouble with. I can’t even think that you have contacted anyone outside.
In other words, this answer was written by you yourself. Am I wrong?”
“Wrong… Didn’t.”
“Then, it means you were the one who calculated this magic. Then you will have to tell me.”
What is your identity?
Her pitch black eyes pierce my pupils.
I feel like my liver is shrinking from the look in those eyes that are keenly searching for the truth.
“I-I… that is… “
I couldn’t speak. In a word, screwed up.
Of course, I didn’t expect a situation like this. I don’t know what to say!
“I… !”
I even mobilized the accident acceleration method and rolled my head at extreme speed, and eventually I cautiously opened my mouth.
I don’t know if this answer was a good option… !
*
“… Then I’ll have to tell you. What is your true identity?”
I look into his eyes as if I could see through them.
This man called a slave. A man summoned as a hero. To find out exactly what this man’s true identity is.
The movement of his face, the trembling of his voice, the voice that came out of his throat.
In order not to miss anything, I put all my concentration into him.
In some cases, it could really be an issue that would shake this continent.
“I-I… that is… “
Looking down. Fingers twitching anxiously.
His long eyelashes glistening in the moonlight. Even though it is clear that he must have received a lot of sunlight, he still had white skin and a sharp jawline.
As far as his appearance goes, he has a fatal beauty like the moonlight of a full moon.
I had felt it before, but as I was still looking at his face, Professor Lydia admired its beauty once again.
I also understood the reaction of the female slave that was there earlier. If he was such a beautiful man, he wouldn’t want to miss out on anything.
However, he is currently a slave. For a slave, love was a luxury.
But, maybe now, depending on this answer, his fate could have changed.
From a slave to a warrior cheered by the continent. From a slave to the most handsome man on the continent, admired by all women in the world.
He hasn’t come up with an answer yet, but his beauty and the possibility that he might be a true hero made Professor Lydia unable to stop imagining it.
“I… !”
“You?”
And finally he opens his mouth.
What is his true identity? How did you solve this difficult 5th tier magic so easily?
After that, Professor Lydia. He himself would have to show him the way.
He had to guide the true hero of the prophecy, who had not been recognized even in the empire, to the right path.
Professor Lydia himself will not be able to become a hero to save the continent, but he will now make a choice to change the future of the continent with his own eyes.
Yes.
He is a warrior. The hero of the prophecy who easily calculates 5th tier magic.
A warrior of salvation summoned from the other world to save the continent in danger.
And Lydia was the only one who recognized such a hero, and he would become a wizard with the best discernment on the continent.
Leaving a big record in her history, it was clear that she, like her hero, would be praised forever.
The moment Ian’s uvula swayed, Lydia’s heart began to throb along with such an imagination.
The moment the fate of the continent changes. And the only human standing there. The only human who recognized the hero and changed his fate.
‘I’m sure… he actually… !’
“I… !!”
And finally. Ian’s mouth began to open,
“I am a slave! Even before being summoned to this world! Even up to now when I was summoned to another world! I mean, I lived as a slave all my life!”
“Eh, eh… ?”
The answer was to thoroughly shatter Lydia’s delusion.
“Are you submitting a magic circle that frees slaves as a contest problem? What happened to the level of magic in this world? Seeing the cadets who couldn’t even solve a problem like this made me yawn because it was so pathetic!!”
“Ha ha ha?”
Far from rewriting history, he was an academy professor who only ended up being ignored by slaves.
