Academy Slave Instructor

34 – There’s a bully in front of the house

There’s a bully in front of the house

“I heard you called.”

Rye enters the academy director’s office and speaks politely to Selenas. Contrary to what he said, Selena smiles gently as he sits down on the couch where he always sits naturally as if it were his home.

“How are you today?”

“I like it. I really like the job of being a lecturer. Since I have a break, I get over a month of paid vacation for free, and it’s really like a different world.”

For Rai, who had been rolling on the battlefield without a break for over 10 years, it was nothing short of a dream job.

Seeing him speak with a really happy smile, not sarcastic, Selenas gives her a small nod.

“When you reach a higher position, you have to draw up an annual plan for the academy, and there are many groups to negotiate with and a lot of work. Even Rai-kun, after a few years of experience, you should be promoted?”

“No, I would like to be a late-life instructor.”

“Normal instructors do a lot during breaks. Whether it’s research or personal training, come to think of it, Mr. Paul said he wants to train with Rai-kun.”

Still, when the name Foul comes out of Selena’s mouth, who says she is on the side of the instructors as the head of the academy, Lai shakes her head in disgust.

“Why is that grandfather so correct? He can be a little sick.”

“You say that even when you’re old, your stamina is as good as that of young people.”

“It’s not inferior, it’s overflowing.”

Paul is an instructor from the military. His hair is white due to his age, but he is still full of energy. He is in charge of training basic skills that academy students do not like, and is nicknamed Oge thanks to his overflowing energy and thick muscles.

Ray is running away from him because he is interested in Rai who defeated the assassins, and every time he meets him, he only talks about how he trains and what kind of training he likes.

After a brief conversation on the topic of fouls, Selena gets to the point.

“It looks like Paniac is appearing in Legandia’s dungeon.”

“Ohhh, that’s rare, but I managed to get it.”

“Yes, it was recently discovered that the dungeon’s mana quality has changed.”

In Legandia, where there are ancient ruins, there is also a dungeon near the city. Dungeons are also within the academy’s domain, but they signed a contract with the adventurer’s guild to give them the right to explore, and are sometimes used for training academy students.

The paniac that Selena is talking about is an alchemy material, and although there are not many uses for it yet, it is not easy to collect, so the price is quite high.

She nods at the word that her rare material has come out, but Rai, who was not very interested in her, looks at her as her Selenas stares silently.

“……”

Selena smiles and nods her head as Rai wordlessly points her finger at him.

“I didn’t mean to ask, but I’d appreciate it if you could help me.”

“I didn’t mean to do it either, but I have to do it if I’m told to.”

The two face each other and smile. Rai, a slave, must do what Selena tells her to do.

Lai noticed that she was a nuisance and didn’t want to go.

When Rai gets up from her seat, Selenas hands out her contract. Since she had to change her field of activity, she also had to write a new contract.

“This is annoying, but can’t we just expand it to Legandia?”

“Oh, that’s not possible. I want Rai-kun to always be by my side.”

Selenas responds with her charming eye smile and takes the new contract signed by Rai and puts it in her drawer.

“Can’t we just entrust this to the adventurer’s guild? They’ll do better.”

“It’s too expensive.”

Selena, who smiles with a sad expression, pauses for a moment before putting her hands together and asking for a favor.

“Next time I sign a contract with a guild, I’ll add a clause about materials. Please try hard this time.”

“Yes, feel free to speak. I will do anything you ask me to do.”

“Really? So, do you want a good time tonight?”

“It’s okay, but having a good time will change the relationship between master and servant. Is that okay?”

As Rai responds to her bizarre joke, Selena’s giggles as if it’s funny and shakes her head saying it’s embarrassing.

She turns to her, leaving behind the words that if Lai, who shared the silly joke, is lucky, she will come to her in a few days.

“Oh, you have to register for a guild before entering.”

“Eh- didn’t I belong to the academy?”

“Since there are various interests involved, even those belonging to the academy must register with the guild to enter.”

“I understand. I understand.”

From the guild’s point of view, it’s good to register academy students or instructors even if they are ghost members. I didn’t like the guild’s behavior of trying to profit from such a simple task, but I had to do it when told to do it.

* * *

As the break begins, the academy students head home one by one. Unless they have their home in Legandia, most academy students are away from home and leave the academy in anticipation of meeting their families after a long time.

Of course, among them, there were those who stayed at the academy to save time and focused on individual training, and there were also those who remained due to various circumstances.

Asran belonged to the latter.

He doesn’t get along well with his father, the head of the family. His father, who has absolutely no ties to the military, works for the Ministry of Justice. Dan’s family, the Skape family, was originally a traditional samurai family that had been involved in the military for generations until his grandfather.

His father, who had no talent for martial arts, strayed from the line of the family and became an official, and Asran’s brothers also work in the domestic affairs side.

As a result, when a talented Aslan was born beyond one generation, many people involved in the Skape family paid attention to him, and Aslan could not bear the weight of the expectations.

Even his father, who had turned to domestic affairs, criticized Aslan and told him to do well, Aslan, who thought that there was no one on his side in the family, did not go back to his home even during the break.

But even if you don’t go, the people in the mansion in Legandia are all family members.

For generations, the vassals and servants who served the Skape family were all those who swore allegiance to his father, not to Aslan, and they equally oppressed Aslan.

“Get up. Lazy people don’t even deserve a piece of bread.”

Aslan, distorted by the family’s heavy expectations, lies down under a large tree in the garden and looks up.

Damian Lille. A swordsmanship instructor and guard who has been with him since his family. And Asran is a person who trembles. A man who is always told that he can only do this, and who does not know whether he is training or torturing himself.

It’s a polite attitude, but Aslan frowns as he looks down at him with contemptuous eyes.

“Never mind what I do.”

“You have to be careful. I’m your instructor. It’s all my fault that you’re not as talented as you are, and that your mind is rotten.”

Athran laughed at Damian’s words, saying it was his fault, but looking at him with ferocious eyes.

A person with stern eyes and no pulpit deserves attention immediately, but Damian is an instructor in the military family Skape. He is obviously much stronger than Aslan, who has yet to grow up and doesn’t even make an effort.

“You have the guts to show that kind of look, but don’t you have the guts to wield the sword even once more? You’re pitiful.”

Damien’s words made him look like a bug, but he was right, so Aslan shut his mouth. The reason he doesn’t train at home is because of Damian and the family atmosphere, and Aslan wants to become stronger too.

When he couldn’t answer, he thought he had won, and Damian laughed and Aslan got up.

“Are you thinking of training now?”

“No, why me?”

Damien’s eyebrows furrow as Aslan smiles brightly following the expression of Rai, the most angry face she knows.

Asran, who liked his expression so much, turned around and went out the front door, waving his hand behind him.

“You have to work hard, even if you do, you’ll have to chase after me for the rest of your life.”

Asran, who had no intention of losing no matter how different his skills were, left the house saying the most heartbreaking words to him.

He came out, but he had nowhere to go, so he thinks for a moment.

His close friends, Seiban and Delan, have already left for his hometown, and he has nothing to do, so he moves to the academy, thinking about training or meeting Rina.

During the semester, his friends were always by his side, but now that he has no one, his steps are somehow heavy, as if something is missing.

I think about getting rid of everything and heading to the shopping district, but it’s not fun by myself.

“Hey- you’re a bully.”

At the words of the quarrel, Aslan turned his head to see Rai smirking. Aslan, who looks more like a bully, puts his arm around Zeroa’s shoulder, who is smiling awkwardly, says annoyedly.

“Losing. Are you going to get ripped off?”

He speaks rough, but his face is bright. Even though his face is stern, Aslan, who is secretly lonely, seems happy when Rai appears.

Rye walks as it is and puts Asran on his shoulder and walks forward.

“What, where are you going?”

“What is youth?”

After thinking for a while, Aslan answers.

“… A woman?”

“Is that all you have in your head? Adventure, adventure.”

“Are you talking about a pervert who openly revealed her s*xual orientation in front of girls?”

“Oh, that’s it. It’s an adventure. An adventure. I’m going to the dungeon today.”

At the words adventure and dungeon, Aslan looked at Zeroa, but he shrugged his shoulders with an awkward expression, as if he had been dragged out as well.

Athran, who removed the cumbersome arms of Rai and said he would walk on his own, follows him. When he hears that he will enter the dungeon like adventurers, even though he has nothing to do anyway, he secretly looks forward to it.

Athlan, who was oppressed by family pressure, once admired a free-spirited adventurer. Of course, he was like a childhood dream, but now that I know the reality of the hard life of adventurers after getting older, I’m not interested.

But even if he is not interested, the words adventure and dungeon move Asran’s heart.

What appeared in front of him, full of expectations, was a shabby house no matter how you look at it.

“…… Is this abandoned house a dungeon?”

“I’m sorry… It’s not an abandoned house, it’s where I live…”

“Huh? No, no, that’s what it says.”

When Zeroa apologizes, Asran, who said that he is an abandoned house, is embarrassed and does not know what to do.

“I came to pick up a map I used when I was an adventurer and porter.”

“It was also a plan to break through the dungeon.”

I’ll tell you before. Aslan, frowning at Rai who finally tells her, goes inside with Zeroa. The house is shabby and narrow, but the traces of human touch can be seen here and there, making it a warm house.

Asran is a spacious mansion, but compares it to his own house, which has only the impression of being cold and hard, and admires Zeroa’s house, which smells like people. However, if you say that you like it out of your mouth, you can only be sarcastic, so Aslan, who had that level of awareness, just thought about it.

“Does anyone smoke in this house?”

“No, we don’t smoke in my house.”

Athran, who looks at the friendly house and looks at Lai, who is checking to see if there is a smoker, with a pitiful eye, when he says that he will come outside to smoke, follows him.

The two leave and Zeroa searches the room for a map.

As Zeroa, who can’t remember where she put it, is looking around her house, the door hurriedly opens and Kara, her sister, enters.

“Brother! Brother! There’s a bully in front of the house! Get rid of it quickly!”

“What?”

“Two nerds were watching my house while smoking! They were staring at me when they came in!”

Kara speaks with surprised eyes, but Zeroa speaks with a calm expression.

“Oh, you two are from the academy. You came with me.”

“Eh?”

When she is told that she is related to the academy, Kara remembers the two people she just saw in front of the house.

Two men squatting in the alley in front of the house, smoking. The green-haired man had such scary eyes that he couldn’t even look at them, and the other one was giggling with a smirk on his face.

Kara, who was afraid that she might be the dark underwear stealer who became famous after fooling the guards in Legandia, saw the two staring at her. She got scared and ran into her house.

“One is the instructor and the other is the same classmate.”

“……”

It’s not enough that it’s bad, and one is said to be an instructor. He is also a lecturer at Legandia Academy.

Kara, who can’t understand whether she’s seeing her wrong or her brother’s human being is wrong, moves her head back and forth. .

“Brother, aren’t you doing weird things outside?”

“Huh? No. I’m going to go to the dungeon for a while…”

“No! Not that!”

Kara, frustrated by her oblivious brother, gets angry with herself and she screams loudly.

“Aren’t they going out and running around? No no no, those guys are harassing them? Are they gangsters?”

“No… Instructor Rai gives private lessons… Aslan-kun is kind even though his eyes are fierce…”

“How good are those eyes! Eyes alone are already bad!”

Out of nowhere, Aslan and Rai, whose appearances have been belittled, open the door and enter the house.

“Excuse me. Zero ah, you had a sister. Hello, she is Rai who is a lecturer at the academy.”

“This is Aslan Scape.”

The two greet each other politely, but Kara hides behind Zeroa, putting her chin in her stomach and unable to lift her head. The frustrated older brother, not noticing her trembling younger sister, says with a bright expression.

“It’s because Kara hides her face a lot. She should say hello to Kara.”

Kara, who seems to be lively rather than shy just by looking at her appearance, pushes her back, and she still looks down at her floor and speaks in a trembling voice.

“Oh, hello… I’m Cara Vandes… My brother… Hey,”

Kara, who glanced up while greeting her, met Aslan’s eyes and lowered her head again in surprise.

When Rai told him not to cry while hitting him on the back of the head, Aslan looked at Rai with a disgruntled expression, but she bowed her head to Kara to say hello.

“I’m sorry. People misunderstand me because my eyes have been a bit scary since I was born.”

“Not only your eyes, but your entire face looks scary.”

“What, do you want me to make your face scary?”

Seeing Asran growling with Rai, Kara cautiously raises her head.

Kara, who blankly saw her sharp face apologizing for no fault of her own, judged her person by her appearance, and she felt ashamed of herself. He seemed like a bully in front of the house, but since the two of them are joking around, they look pretty innocent.

Zeroa, who told her brother that they were good people looking at her blankly, went back into the room to find her map. She opens a drawer and looks through the items and finds her map in a small box that must have been organized by her mother.

Recalling memories of her role as a porter without knowing anything, Zeroa comes out with a small smile and sees Lai grabbing Kara’s arm and spinning her around.

“Ahahahaha, give it back sooner Lai!”

“The 2nd stage of the tornado is going!”

She must have been in the room not long ago, but Rai was already friendly with Kara. While she ponders for a moment whether she has been in the room that long, Rai throws Kara, who was spinning around her.

Zeroa is surprised by her gaping mouth, but Kara, who is blown away by her sunny face, collides with Aslan.

“Ah! Don’t do that!”

Aslan, who doesn’t budge, holds the falling Kara to safety and shouts at Rai, but he just laughs while holding her stomach. When Aslan drops it down, Kara runs to Rai again and asks him to return it, and the previous scene is repeated.

Zeroa is rumored to be scary at the academy, and she tells him that she can be like this.

She tells me not to do Athrande, but I don’t know if she’s mad at me, but whenever Kara flies up, I catch her properly. And there is a soft smile on her lips.

Somehow, she feels that she is closer to her brother than she is, and seeing Zero Ah, who feels left out of her, she tells her to return her brother as well, and she grabs him.

“Uh, huh? Come on, wait a minute-“

Before Zeroa can finish her words, she feels the world spinning. And she feels pain in her calf.

He is bigger than Kara, and while going around the narrow house, he hits a pillar and falls to the floor. When she sees Zeroa looking up, her tears return and Rai says sorry and Aslan says, “I told you not to do that” And helps Zeroa.

After a little fuss, Zeroa’s family sits around the table having dinner.

Zeroa, who is sitting alone, sees Kara sitting between Rai and Aslan laughing and playing jokes from the other side, feeling left out again, but Rai doesn’t care and looks at the map he brought.

“How many years did you say you haven’t been an adventurer?”

“A year… A little more, I think. More than two years?”

Rai nodded at Zeroa’s answer and took out a recently released dungeon map to check if anything has changed.

“But what are you doing here?”

When Aslan asks, Rai answers without taking his eyes off the map.

“It’s making plans.”

“Do I need something like that to enter the dungeon? Can’t I just look at the map?”

“Don’t take the adventurers too lightly. It’s all about exploring according to your own plan.”

“Is Rai going to the dungeon with her brother?”

“Come, can I bring you something? A gargoyle head.”

What is she saying to the child? Asran makes a joke about her that is not funny, but Kara responds clearly.

“Stop that, buy me some raspberry bread.”

“Raspberry bread? That’s delicious.”

“Right! Delicious!”

When Rai agrees, Kara is delighted. Rai, who stroked her hair, gives Zeroa a map and gets up.

“I’ll go to the dungeon with my brothers, so tell my mother. I’ll make a lot of money and buy raspberry bread.”

“Yeah, okay.”

I don’t understand why they are talking in half, but when Rai gets up, Zeroa gets up too.

Leave a word to see you in 3 days and take Aslan and Zeroa to the adventurer’s guild.
