Academy Slave Instructor

4 – New Students and New Instructors

New Students and New Instructors

Hello. My name is Zeroa Vandes. He has a family name, but he is a commoner. I didn’t know that I lived only in the empire, but in other countries, unlike empires, it is common for only nobles to have surnames.

Anyway, having a last name doesn’t matter to me. More important than that is the fact that you entered Legandia Academy today.

I haven’t really thought about the future, so I’m still bewildered.

My younger brother secretly submitted an application form, took the test, and suddenly passed. Isn’t there something wrong that an ordinary me can enter an academy where only the handicrafts of the empire gather?

My test scores were exchanged with someone else’s, or someone is cheating on me.

I don’t think I’m humble or lack confidence. As an advantage and a disadvantage, I am mediocre in anything. I’ve been working since I was a kid because I’m from a not wealthy family, but the biggest compliment I get everywhere I go is that I pay for my meals.

Instead, I’ve never heard a compliment saying that I’m good at it. Wherever I went, there were people who were better than me, and I was neither good nor bad.

How could I be admitted to an academy where only the elite gather? I’m still in doubt.

But I don’t have the spirit to hold on to unanswered questions. I’m nervous because I’m with people I don’t know at all.

In the Empire, there is not much difference in status between nobles and commoners. However, this social condition started around the time I was born and has not fully settled down. There are nobles who can’t adapt to the changing culture, and if such nobles get angry, commoners who have no money and no power have no choice but to suffer.

Still, people from other countries are surprised to see the difference in status between the empires, so how great is the difference there?

“Hey, what are you looking at?”

“Yes?”

As I looked around at the people gathered in the class, I met eyes with a scary person. Short-cropped green hair and sharp-looking eyes look down at me.

“No… Hey, I just didn’t know anyone… I was looking around…”

The green-haired man looks at me carefully and moves to another seat with an annoyed expression. He will talk friendly to people in his group who he already knows.

You’re supposed to… Be friendly, right? As soon as you approach, you see that a man puts his head on his side and gives you strength, so you are confused whether he is bullying or not.

In an academy where only elites gather, I may be the weakest person. If I ever get caught in the eyes of bullies and get harassed, I have no strength to resist.

In particular, there is a lot of talk about freshmen at the academy this year. Violet and Sojeta, who are said to be talents that only come out once in 100 years, are so famous that even people with weak ears can hear them.

In addition, the princess came in as a freshman. The princess is something I could never have imagined. Can I really go to the academy with someone like that?

If I commit an rudeness, not only my neck but also the neck of my family may not be intact. Fortunately, there are no famous people in my class, but I am nervous and my heart is pounding.

While impatiently waiting for the instructor to come, someone sits next to my empty seat. There are still a lot of empty seats, but since you’re sitting next to me, you should at least say hello so you don’t make a mistake.

“Hello, I’m Zero…”

The words are not connected. I’ve never seen anyone like this before. No, is it a human being?

Long dark blue hair and contrasting red eyes. Did you say that these bright and shining eyes are jewel eyes? The moment those red eyes looked at me, I couldn’t help but freeze.

The statue of the Goddess I saw in the temple when I was a child was not more beautiful than this person. Everyone in her class stares at her, as if it’s not just her impression.

The jewelry eye that had been quietly illuminating me immediately looked away without saying a word and read the small book I was holding.

Forgetting that she had been ignored, I stared at the side of her face as she read, then quickly turned my head away thinking it was rude. And all of her seats around me are tightly packed, looking at her.

There were obviously a lot of empty seats, but what happened?

While I was panicking, the door opened with a bang, and a brown-haired man came in and shouted.

“Greetings, boys! I’m Ray Redford, the instructor I’m in charge of this class.”

Everyone stares at the lecturer in charge who enters with a rough introduction contrary to his docile appearance. Even though she wasn’t smiling, her eyes gave the impression that she was smiling and she was much younger than expected.

“What are you looking at? Hurry up and take a seat. Call attendance.”

Many hagwon students stare at me silently, but the lecturer in charge walks to the church without hesitation. The chaotic atmosphere passes and everyone takes their seats while the instructor crosses her arms and looks at the blackboard.

“Come to think of it, what is the spelling? R or L. Ie? Ai? Since you said it’s ambiguous, is ie correct?”

The instructor, who was thinking about something, shrugged her shoulders and looked back.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Rai Redford. I’m your instructor for a year from now on.”

Could it be that what you were thinking about just now was your name? It can’t be. I didn’t get it, but maybe it was a joke.

Look, they’re all laughing… They’re not.

“I don’t know how old you are, and the subjects are mana control and basic tactics. I don’t know why there are two, but they usually take two subjects here? Anyway, it’s my first time here, so I’m a newbie like you.”

As if standing and talking is annoying, Lecturer Rai is sitting on the podium and talking comfortably.

“As you can see, he’s pretty strong and has a lot of experience, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Anything else to ask? I don’t know much about the academy, so leave that out.”

When Instructor Lai speaks, the woman sitting in front of her raises her hand. The woman, who waited patiently for her to be pointed at, gets up when her instructor points to her.

“I’m Philia Serios. Nice to meet you, Instructor.”

“Yes, nice to meet you.”

“Excuse me, but you look young. What kind of experience do you have?”

At the question of a woman named Philia, the instructor looks up at the ceiling and thinks about it for a while.

“There are many, but all I can tell you is the battle of Rennen. I am a survivor there.”

Academy students’ interest grows when they hear that they are survivors of the Battle of Rennen. Everyone knows the battle of Rennen, but he doesn’t even know it.

Shrouded in secrecy and no self-proclaimed survivors, it excites mystery lovers in many ways.

There are curses and unreliable secret stories related to the Battle of Rennen, and even the children in the neighborhood are curious about it.

I stare at the instructor to see if the blue-haired goddess sitting next to me is also interested.

“Everyone be quiet. And you, I know she’s pretty… Wow- you’re really pretty. It’s amazing. Anyway, when you look at other people’s faces like that, it’s a bit like watching from the side. You and you should also keep your mouths shut. .”

She blushes when she is pointed out by the instructor. She can’t lift her head because she feels the goddess staring at me for a second. As her attention is drawn to the goddess for a moment, the instructor knocks on her desk to bring her students back to focus.

“I’m going to introduce each person one by one, so watch a lot then and pay attention to me now.”

Just like when the instructor arrived, the door opened violently with a bang, and a platinum-haired woman entered.

Everyone stares in amazement, but the woman ignores her gaze and walks straight to the instructor.

“Hey, did you take my roll?”

“Isn’t it? I took my class attendance book?”

The instructor, who shook his head and checked the attendance sheet and class again, says to the woman who is presumed to be the instructor.

“That’s right, I’m in charge here.”

“No, I’m in charge. Do you know how long I searched the faculty room to find it?”

“I’m right here. You’re wrong.”

If there is a misunderstanding, they say they are right. The platinum-haired instructor listens to Rai’s words, closes his eyes, inhales deeply, and then exhales.

“Yes, you are right here. I am also right here.”

“What do you mean?”

“I am the instructor in charge of Class B. And you are the instructor in charge of Class B. Do you understand?”

Instructor Lai quietly re-reads her roll, and then she slowly raises her head and hands over the roll to the platinum-haired instructor. Then she trudged out of her desk and pointed her palm at the platinum-haired instructor as she spoke to us.

“Eh- I’ve been a burden until now. And this is Layla Cloud, you’re in charge.”

“……”

“…… Poop-“

In the quiet classroom, when someone bursts into laughter, the academy students begin to laugh as if contagious. The green-haired man who met my eyes is laughing loudly as he knocks on the table.

“Puhahahahaha- what the hell!”

“What a funny person. Oh, my stomach hurts…”

Instructor Layla silently checks the rolls and turns to us. The blue eyes are cold as if facing enemies.

“Be quiet.”

The beautiful voice is not very loud, but it has power and makes the classroom quiet in an instant. I was laughing a little too, but when I heard the voice, goose bumps came up on my back and I couldn’t help but laugh.

Instructor Layla frowns as she throws her roll book on her desk.

“Is the instructor funny in your eyes?”

“No, I’m not going to be so serious.”

Instructor Lai muttered softly behind Instructor Layla, feeling burdened. Instructor Leyla, who turned her head and glared at him, continued her words.

“Instructors are human beings too, so they can make mistakes. A trivial thing that confuses their position… It’s not trivial, but similar mistakes can be made at any time. All instructors at the academy are talented people. Even such a human being is a lecturer. Be polite. Even if you make a small mistake, even if your words and actions are rubbish, I am your instructor.”

“You are the worst.”

A few of the academy students struggle to hold back their laughter at Instructor Rai’s murmuring. Fortunately, the. If I laughed again, it was clear that I would be scolded by the scary Leila instructor.

Instructor Leyla, who took control of the class with just a few words, calmly introduces herself. It’s the first time I came to the academy just like Instructor Lai, but there are quite a few academy students who know Leila’s name, probably because she’s a celebrity.

He seems to be a great and outstanding person, but he seems so cold. For some reason, I feel closer to Instructor Lai.

* * *

“Whoops, did that really happen?”

“Yes, that’s the worst.”

Rai, who was sitting on the sofa in the principal’s office, sighed heavily as he looked up at the ceiling. Selena looks at him and smiles.

“Do you think you care about those things unexpectedly? I thought you had an optimistic personality.”

“When commanding a unit, the first meeting is important. At once! You have to grab hold of it or give it a sense of mystery. Well- it’s a little hard to describe it as a unit.”

However, Lai, who came with only a big smile, let alone a sense of mystery, sighed again. After a leisurely cup of tea, Selena puts her glass down and asks him.

“So how was your first day at the academy?”

“Hmm… It was more than I expected. How to say, it was a free atmosphere like the headmaster said, and it was nice that the students melted well into the atmosphere.”

“It’s fortunate. I feel like I’m being praised for my efforts to create an academy like this.”

Selenas, with a friendly smile, brings out an extra cookie for Rai, who is eating only cookies while leaving the tea alone.

“I have high expectations for Lai-kun’s lectures this school year. There are many talented students who would be the first to attend an academy with a long history.”

“It seems that the empire, which is not satisfied with most talented people, is great enough to say that.”

“Yes, Violet and Sojeta-kun from the Corette family are so talented that even the emperor knows their names. In addition, there are too many children known as child prodigies, such as Diana, Maurice, and Eren from the Deshbela family. I was rushed into the school year.”

Selenas continued with a bitter smile as if she were thinking about something happy.

“Le Gandia Academy received a great honor because her 6th princess, Monk Emilia Shane Bernier, was also admitted there. The responsibility of the instructors who will teach and take charge of them is great.”

“I… I’m sorry about what I said, but there wasn’t a single name that just came out in my class. Besides, it’s just a burden.”

When Rai asks about something strange, Selena smiles and looks at him.

“It’s hard to entrust the future of the empire…”

“Because it might inject or ruin strange beliefs?”

I omitted the words, but the problem is the origin of Rai, who was an enemy of the Empire.

“I wouldn’t go that far. But I can’t say I don’t have that kind of concern at all. I’m sorry.”

“No, that’s fine. That’s apprenticeship or apprenticeship. I’m just a burden.”

As if shocked by the fact that he was in charge, Rai slumped on the sofa again. Seeing him powerless, Selenas gets up from her seat and goes behind his back and rubs his shoulders.

She has big breasts, so if she sticks like this, the back of her head will bother her even if she doesn’t want to.

“Cheer up, I couldn’t give you the role from the beginning because I had too little experience.”

“I understand. After all, I just need to start a new career at the academy. Building merit is my specialty.”

“Yes, please do your best. Even if the class is different, I will see the children you mentioned in the lecture, so I will only trust Lai-kun.”

“If the master says.”

“Huh- that’s great. Can you say that again?”

The person who rubbed her shoulder was himself, but Rai shut her mouth at Selena’s voice as if she felt something.
