Academy Slave Instructor

26 – Fools Don’t Teach

Stupids Don’t Teach

Realizing her weakness, Zeroa decided to learn from Rai to become stronger. Prior to that, Rai had taught him personally, but it was a semi-compulsory education, and this time he learns of his own will.

Among the academy instructors, there are not many instructors who give private lessons to academy students. Most of them have been educated since they were young and have learned weapon skills from their families, dojos, or acquaintances, so it is not easy for an instructor who does not know them to teach them.

Moreover, learning from an instructor means revealing all the family and personal visions of the academy students, so unless the instructor is a great person or trustworthy, there is no case of learning.

The academy students who can afford not only follow the attendants but also the instructors and train separately, so the instructors at the academy do not get involved in their personal training.

Zeroa, who was trained in mana control after getting caught up in the affairs of Lai and Philia, is a special case, and usually such special cases often end with short-term training.

Because of such a culture, it is also a great honor for instructors from the field to ask for private lessons from instructors directly from academy students. It meant that the academy students recognized and trusted him.

Of course, in the case of Zeroa, who hovered at the bottom and had no secret martial arts, there was no such thing as honor even if he came.

Seeking Rai to escape her weakness, Zeroa sits on her knees in the middle of his garden and focuses her mind. Coming up to him pledging to do anything to get stronger, Rai pushes him to the ground.

“……Is this training…?”

“No, I kicked it once because it was good for hitting.”

There was no pain by lightly pushing his foot, but Lai, who responded calmly after pushing the other person with his foot, walked in front of Zeroa, who was spread out on the grass, and lay down. Lying comfortably on her side and leaning his head on her arm, he looks at Zeroa with a playful face.

“Then I’m going to sh*t on my pants. What are you looking so serious about?”

“The instructor said that mindset is important.”

“Is your mindset coming from your eyes? Then guys like Aslan must be the strongest on the continent. Relax, relax.”

Zeroa, who was worried for a while at being told to relax, knelt down on his knees again and took the correct posture.

“I’m comfortable with this.”

“He’s a serious guy. Yes, do as you please.”

Seeing Zeroa insisting on her correct posture, Rai does not force it. He thinks he doesn’t need to be nervous and exert all his strength in everything, but if he thinks he’s in the best posture right now, he has no intention of stopping him.

It was a lot of progress since Zeroa, who had been hardened with notice until now when told to do a comfortable posture, is asserting herself.

Rai throws the pouch he was holding in front of Zeroa.

“What is this?”

“An elixir that will make you stronger.”

Hearing that it is her elixir, Zeroa anticipates and picks up her pocket.

He’s from a poor family, and he’s never actually seen an elixir. Even when the academy students at her academy complained about receiving a low-level elixir as a gift, Zero knew them.

Of course, elixirs don’t have tremendous efficacy as the name suggests. Unless it is a precious elixir that comes out every few years due to the rare manufacturing process or material, most of them only slightly improve mana blur or make training last a little longer.

There is a joke about taking elixirs not by their efficacy but by faith, so in fact, you don’t have to.

However, as he has never seen anything called elixir, he opens his pocket with eyes full of anticipation, and inside is full of black pills.

At first glance, it looked like black iron, but the dark glossy pills had a strange smell. Rai giggles at Zeroa, who involuntarily turns her head at the vomit-like smell that enters her nose.

“Isn’t it poisonous? No, it’s correct to say it’s disgusting.”

“Is this… Really an elixir? It’s not like a… Stool… Is it?”

“It’s an elixir. It doesn’t smell, it’s insignificant, and it’s hard to eat. It’s one of the trash or trash elixirs, Olight.”

“Is your name up?”

Recognizing how strong the scent of the elixir is, Zeroa pays more attention to the name Alight, which means good, than to the word garbage elixir.

Zeroa, who can no longer bear the smell of O’right, which is not at all okay with the smell, quickly closes it by pulling the string on the pouch. The enchanted pouch shows perfect efficacy and blocks the smell, but Zeroa feels that the smell of the elixir still lingers in her nose.

“There are many origins for the name. Some say that it is okay to eat it because it is too f*cked up and avoid it, and others say that it is said that it improves in all aspects.”

“The electrons have more power.”

When Zeroa is disgusted and sees the pouch containing the painful upvote, Rai laughs as if it is fun.

“Now you just have to keep eating them. They’re cheap and easy to get, so buy them when they run out. Don’t look for the ingredients to make them because they only hurt your stomach.”

“……Anything else?”

“No. It’s the best elixir for your situation. Would you like to eat something expensive like rich kids? Can I get that too?”

Zeroa can’t cause more trouble to Lai, so she shakes her head and takes her up. She couldn’t even teach her, so where would anyone find and save the elixir herself? Even though she was a gift that she was rejected just by holding it, she was a grateful zero for that thought.

She can just eat it, but it’s clear that she can’t eat it, so she follows Lai’s words to drink it with water. She said that even if she drank it with water, she would not be able to eat it, and when she sent her eyes, Rai became stronger? She laughs.

She did as he said, and she had sworn to do anything just a little while ago. But she was hesitating because of the smell, so she took one shot of her water with all her might, knowing that she was ashamed of herself.

“Pueg-!!”

Before it can even get past her throat, her body rejects it and Zeroa squirts water out of her mouth, unable to take a sip. Rai, who has rolled away and lies down, sees the water splashed on the spot where she used to be and holds her stomach and laughs.

“Puhahahahaha, you can’t drink it after all.”

“Cool, keek… Was it just a joke…?”

“No, the elixir is true. It’s because no one can eat it properly.”

Looking at him suffering from a runny nose, Rai says with a smile.

“Except for the worst flaws, it’s a decent elixir. It’s cheap, easy to get, and can be taken for a long time. No matter where you give it, the middle one goes. I don’t know about you, but there are some academy students who keep taking it.”

I didn’t understand how she took this for a long time, but she bit her lip when she said that there are people who eat it even among school students. The academy students at the academy were already doing their best to become stronger.

Looking pathetic compared to them, Zeroa sees the half-left cup of water, closes his eyes tightly, and gulps down.

When Zeroa, who drank everything, covers her mouth to hold back the explosion rising from inside her, when Lai vomits, she says that it is a loss because she is rather upset.

As Zeroa, who endured with superhuman patience, gasped for breath, Rai rolled back and came closer to him.

“It’s worth eating once you get used to it, so take it for 3 months and then take it for about 2 weeks.”

“Did the instructor eat this too?”

When the respectable Zeroa asks Rai how he endures this, he says with a disgusted face, “Why do you eat something like that?”

“No. Why am I taking that? There are so many delicious elixirs in the world. I grew up in a rich family and took other things.”

It was the first and last time in Zeroa’s life that she wanted to hit Lai.

Rai, who said as if to make an excuse not to worry because the effect on his thinned eyes is certain, stopped talking and looked towards the entrance.

“Get out of the way.”

Zero at her shrill voice. When she turned around, she saw her Abigail there, staring down ferociously.

In order to investigate her relationship with the assassins, she was taken from the military and was unable to attend the academy for a week. When she appears, Zeroa jumps up to greet her.

“Abigail! Are you okay? Did you get hurt? I was worried because I hadn’t seen her since.”

When the guy who was only a nuisance in the battle is rather concerned about himself, Abigail, who is offended by her, glares at her with her stern expression, then ignores it and looks at Rai.

“It’s been a while. Shinsoo has gotten better. As expected, the imperial army doesn’t care about status and gives food well.”

Rai, who has experience as a prisoner of war, praises the Imperial Army for treating prisoners properly when the situation is good.

Abigail’s sharp eyebrows flinched slightly at his words, but she didn’t react and looked at Zeroa and Rai alternately before speaking.

“How did you do that?”

“No, none of these bastards respect me.”

To Rai’s displeasure, Zeroa quietly raised her hand, but she quietly lowered it again in the eyes of Abigail and Rai.

“If you want, tell me and I’ll do that for you. Rather, how did you cut them down?”

“Why do you want to learn?”

“Oh, teach me.”

“With that attitude? Hey- kids these days are so confident.”

Abigail turns her head to Zeroa as Rai laughs in amazement.

When Zeroa, unable to understand why she is staring at her, only blinks her eyes, she looks at him with contempt and says,

“I’m stronger than this guy.”

“I learn because I am weak.”

“It’s useless to raise a useless bastard. If you teach me, I’ll show you I’m much more helpful.”

“How? Side with the assassins who are after me?”

I don’t know what the situation was, but Abigail crinkled her expression when she pinched off that she was dressed like the assassins.

“They just fooled me.”

“Yes- everyone said that and then disappeared into the dew of the executioner. Isn’t there something I should say before that? Say thanks.”

She might have lost her life if Rai hadn’t shown up.

No matter what anyone says, he saved the princess and Philia, and not only Zeroa but also Diana and Philia who hated him thanked him.

Her expression hardened, Abigail reluctantly said she was grateful.

“Thanks for your help. Are you okay?”

“No, you should do it to him, not me. I’m the instructor, so my job is to clean up your poop, shouldn’t I say thank you to this guy and the other kids?”

“I don’t know about the other guys, but to this guy?”

Abigail gets angry.

Without Zeroa, she could defeat the assassins even without Rai appearing. That scum broke the formation and ran away, injured other b*tches and got into a dangerous situation.

By the way, thank you? It is nonsense.

Rai giggles at Abigail’s red eyes, which show her anger beyond her contempt.

“This is why good guys lose money. If you don’t tell them, they don’t appreciate it. Maybe it’s a matter of intelligence. If that’s not the case, is stupid pride covering your eyes?”

“Speaking bullsh*t…”

“Hey, do you still not know why you were released? Do you think the military will easily release you without question, no matter how unrelated it is? Do the Imperials look like an idiot?”

Abigail shuts her mouth at Rai’s ridicule.

“Why did you release it? Standing on the side of the princess? Yes, the princess’s breath must have touched you the most. By the way, all the guys present, including this guy, sided with you because you had nothing to do with the assassin. .”

“……”

“That’s not all. If these guys weren’t nice guys, you wouldn’t have entered the academy even if you were released. Even if you weren’t on the same side, would there be people in the academy who would recognize you if you acted like them? And all the academy students and staff will despise you and try to kill you.”

As if making fun of Abigail for not opening her mouth, Rai rolls over and looks up at her feet.

With her nasty smile, he pulls Zeroa’s trousers and lays her down next to him. She smiles awkwardly at Abigail, who looks down at Zeroa, who is helpless, then avoids her gaze.

“But no one is like that? Why is that? Why do you think that is? Try to come up with the right answer with your smart brain. You’re a good guy.”

“… Why didn’t you tell me?”

As Abigail asks Zeroa, Rai shouts.

“It’s because this bastard is kind and addicted! Both Philia and Deanna are all stupid! If it were me, I would have squeezed out whoever was involved and made them regret being born. You’re lucky that I’m an instructor, whether in the military or not. Thank these guys for not opening their mouths to the academy.”

“……”

“Go away if you know. I don’t teach fools.”

None of the academy students present, including Zeroa, told the other academy students or instructors that Abigail had acted with the assassins.

Abigail, who was immediately taken away by the belated military, was treated as absent with the fact that she did not attend training, and no one knows of her except those in high positions such as the head of the academy or the deputy head of the academy. .

Abigail looks at her ferociously, but Rai waves her hand and tells her to go.

After that, she looked down at Zeroa with a scary gaze, and she clicked her tongue and turned around and left without a word.

“I don’t think you’re going to say that harshly… I don’t think…”

Zeroa, who was talking to her, looked at Rai nonchalantly, and she was nervous, so her context didn’t connect properly.

“Idiots understand you when you tell them.”

“But…”

“Did you understand? Stupid.”

“……Ah… That’s it”

“Then do you think it’s not? Don’t worry about useless things and only think of yourself. For whom did you say you became strong?”

At Rai’s words, Zeroa swallowed her breath and said, “For me,” She replied as if repeating.

“If you know, wake up. Be strong.”

To become stronger, Zeroa got up right away.

Although she was concerned about Abigail walking forlornly without looking back once, Zeroa shook her head and devoted herself to her training.
