Avoid Former Co-Workers

2 – 2. The Unforgettable Name

I’ve solved Professor Kyoff’s problems full of malice over and over again.

No matter how twisted and twisted he was, he had never failed to rank high in the written exam, so it was quite acceptable to see Professor Kyoff’s majestic expression distort.

I remember the past, I was able to understand all the contents of the lectures in the 3rd and 4th grade, so in the end, Ta-ching the devil’s grandmother declared surrender to me.

“Oh, that’s the end of today’s lecture…!”

Professor Kyoff, with a frown on his face, packs his textbooks and hurries along.

The middle-aged female professor, grinding her teeth as she heads for the front door, loses her senses and trips over her doorstep.

Damn it!

“Aigoo…”

Hey, it’s all cool inside.

If you had a good reputation, the students would come out and ask if you were okay and support you.

Because he was a professor who already longed for the lower class and only showed an attitude of criticism rather than criticism, the students’ expressions toward the witch were very bright.

Students in Class E glanced at Professor Koff and began to leave the classroom through the back door without anyone helping them.

‘I don’t need to take these crappy lectures.’

I was no exception.

Professor Kyoff knows that he’s embarrassing himself, so he’ll send the students away without saying anything.

Somehow, time left. Originally, the morning routine would have continued after listening to this lecture, but since I kicked Professor Kyoff out…

‘I’d rather check my condition now.’

After I left the classroom with my bag, I decided to make better use of the time I had left.

Lebrand Academy belongs to the Duchy of Ardelion, and the duchy’s roots are the same as the Artena Empire.

Therefore, in the Artena Empire, everyone learns equally, awakens their talents, and hopes to become a member of society, and generous welfare is provided to even one person without exception.

Welfare content is simply the whole of the encouragement sector for food, clothing, shelter and academic improvement.

Any student who has entered the academy by signing the application form to learn through academics and to awaken their talents can receive all the support from the school as they are considered qualified.

This means that you can use all 7 coffins and 16 dongs, which account for 80% of the capital city Lebrandy, excluding the place where the Grand Duke’s mansion is located.

Of course, even if there is a class difference, it has nothing to do with school welfare.

“I found it. General examination room.”

They arrived at the general examination room, a place to find out what specialties and talents have been awakened through study.

I came to the general examination room to check my current physical condition.

…

…

The paper I received after the various tests contained magical information about me in detail.

“Nothing special.”

With this, the direction to be trained is decided, but in the past, there were many difficulties in which direction to develop strength due to the fact that the level of magic could not be distinguished.

It is possible to use the fire element, but it is too weak, and even if you use the magic circle, it is not very effective.

So, in the past, I chose and nurtured my unique magic.

“…Come to think of it, I didn’t check this.”

When I put my own magic power into my right hand instead of drawing a fire magic circle with my magic power, a screen appeared in the form of a disc.

Unique Magic.

Just as people’s personalities and constitutions are different, mana also differs in various areas such as color, internal amount, cohesion rate, saturation, and turnover rate.

The same goes for mana. It is said that unique magic is determined according to the individual’s magical propensity, and it germinates in response to the state of mind or emotion.

I’m not sure about my case, but my unique magic is about blocking attacks.

That’s why it’s quite useful when used like a shield. That’s why I’m suitable for the avant-garde position.

But it’s not good to rely on magic as a substitute for a shield like now.

According to my experience in the past, this magic is a power that will one day be lost.

Even if it’s hard to hone, if it’s a power that may be lost in the future, would you want to grow into this field?

At least I didn’t want to commit such a foolish thing.

“Whew.”

There will be difficulties in the direction of growth if you approach the magic field, so there was only one thing to consider in actual combat.

The body. A strong and healthy body will be a great back tummy anywhere.

Its robust body can be used everywhere, not just for dealing with demons, but for other tasks as well.

As a last resort to resist the enemy in an environment where no magic can be used.

It is also possible to come into contact with tools such as close combat techniques and weapons that are used as the basis of a trained body.

Power is also needed for long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows that can buy a moment’s gap or time even if you don’t directly use magic to participate in battle.

From being pushed to the limit and isolated, to surviving, to escaping geographic challenges.

The answer was obvious.

I went straight to the fitness room and started working out energetically, but at first I was at a loss as to where to start.

So I blindly picked up anything and followed the training route prepared in the training room.

But… How serious is my body?

“Wow… I really… Had some really bad stamina…”

I didn’t even think about practicing magic on this subject for a moment.

Maybe I should say it’s fortunate that I found out something.

My current stamina is at a level where I can’t open my eyes, so I must train.

“hehehe…”

I had to stick out my tongue and exhale like a child in a body stretched out and sweating profusely.

As I stretched out panting like that, waiting for my breath to return, I lost myself in other thoughts.

Basically, humans are at a great disadvantage in a 1:1 situation when dealing with demons, and it is better to form a team by taking on roles for each position.

That’s why we sometimes create a team, even temporarily, but there are cases where we continue it permanently.

From this point on, we don’t call it a team, we call it a party with a name.

A representative example is the Thambris Party, which I belonged to in the past.

The synergistic effect was bound to be enormous as each one of them gathered together and united in an overwhelming yard even as a single force.

Except for me, of course.

Once upon a time, I should have heard other people gossip about why I was there.

Has there ever been a time when you were in a hurry when you heard that and practiced magic to the point of overdoing it?

Anyway, I still don’t know why Goden, the center of Thembris, who is openly like a party hall, recruited me.

To put it bluntly, I don’t even think I was of any help at that party.

Since I lost my power in the first place, I only depended on them…

“We shouldn’t run into each other as much as possible this time.”

I have no intention of causing a nuisance to those who will save this country, and I must not hold back their ankles.

There are a few guys in the academy who are the only ones who can be called friends, but even if it’s a little lonely, this is the right decision.

While I was thinking about this and that, my fast breathing returned to normal and it was around the time I took my posture.

“It’s okay. Now I need to train again…”

─Notice. Since Archduke Ardelion has arrived and wants to raise the ordinance, all professors and students, please gather on campus within 10 minutes.

A sound amplified by the magic tools spread out, announcing the arrival of the owner and leader of the principality.

I never thought time would pass so quickly.

Today’s schedule is not over, but it doesn’t continue except for Professor Kyoff’s first lecture.

After Archduke Ardelion, who hadn’t heard from him in a while, visited the Levant Academy in person and finished the ordinance, the atmosphere would become quite threatening.

I washed off the sweat from the gym, put on my clothes again, and went out. And he ran into someone right away.

“Physical training room… Guy, that’s a big deal. I thought you went to the magic training room often.”

I feel a throbbing pain in my chest every time I think of the past that happened before I died.

But… Now, hearing this nostalgic voice made the tip of my nose frown slightly.

I couldn’t say anything for a moment when they even faced each other.

“Junon? What is this guy like today?”

I have to say something, but my voice is strangely stuffy, so I can’t make any sound.

I barely opened my mouth, which was tightly closed like a clam shell, not wanting to give out my flesh.

“It’s okay.”

“Your voice doesn’t come out straight, but what’s okay? Training your physical strength is the same as magic. Don’t you know that overdoing it with a bad body only makes things worse?”

“…Really fine. I was thirsty for a while.”

He questioned me for a moment, saying, “Really?”, Then quickly cleared away the clouds of doubt, picked up a water bottle, and threw it at me.

“Don’t overdo it, just skip my class tomorrow. It’s a 10-person reservation based on the rollbook.”

Unlike other professors when it comes to teaching students, he really deserved the name of an educator.

A man who burnt himself to evacuate students even when he reached a desperate situation where even the defense line of Levant Academy was breached.

Jake Callau Beryl.

He could never forget that name.

Because he was the one who threw himself to save my life.

“By the way, this time both sides were clear somehow, but we can’t run into each other anymore. You remember that, don’t you?”

…Sagora. It means one thing.

So far, I have always protested against the unfair treatment of the position of the front line.

Unlike the other D and E class students who either gave up or endured being accepted as a kind of custom, I did not tolerate it.

They made unbearable situations such as talking for granted that it was a custom and custom, belittling people, insulting people openly, and belittling them, so they swung their fists.

Every time I couldn’t handle the heat that rose to the top of my head and grabbed and beat those guys who were sarcastic like thunder naked.

This is exactly what Professor Jake refers to as an accident.

“A few other professors, including myself, agree with the opinion that the current avant-garde is unfair. It will.”

“…Yes.”

“Guy, you’re still docile today. I thought you’d jump on me and say nonsense.”

That’s it… I know the professor will do what he says.

“My friend who died a few decades ago was also pointed at as a talentless bastard like you. However, he saved my life in the end. I believe that one day you too will reveal your cotyledons and grow up to be great.”

-‘Never think that your vessel is small. I assure you that I have looked at you for years!! Junon, you’re better than anyone else here!!’

Professor Jake’s past, who was determined to die, seems to overlap.

I heard the voice of a conductor who controls and leads the morale of the students, not the voice of a teacher who is friendly and playful to the students.

Until his back, who risked death to protect me, flickered in front of my eyes.

I felt sick to my stomach when I heard the resounding sound of the present and the past.

“Once you’ve washed everything, let’s go to the campus. You don’t want to hear bad things from other professors, do you?”

“I will.”

Remembering how Professor Jake died makes me feel a bit sick…

…It will be all right. If you give it a little time, this heartburn will be okay.

Perhaps.
