I Broke Off My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero

7 – At Silverine Academy

What if E9 hadn’t told me to break up the marriage?

Then I wouldn’t have left the party, and Enain wouldn’t have guarded her carraine by herself.

Also, Enain wouldn’t have run away, and she wouldn’t have shown such an ugly appearance.

“Ehh…”

What’s the use of what if…

Just today, I get wet with the sensibility of what if.

“Dogram is a bad boy.”

And just when I was immersed in that feeling, I heard a teasing voice next to me smirking.

It was Lulu.

Bean!

“Hey…”

I earn a hawk, really.

Someone is going to die of confusion, but he doesn’t even know what he’s thinking and is trying to make fun of him.

“No Violence!!!”

Lulu pouted her mouth at me and expressed her displeasure…

Bean!

“Ugh…”

This is an injection of proper etiquette. Can not help it.

“Ehh.”

Anyway, the weather is filthy clear.

No matter how bad the situation is, if you wear a lively Lulu in this sunny weather, it feels like the depressed mood just flew away.

“You know. Dogram. Where are you going now?”

After staring at the sky for a while, Lulu came to me before I knew it. Then she put her face out and asked me.

“I don’t know.”

Sure. What do i do now

I never thought about it. There is a purpose to go home, but there is nothing decided what to do there.

“Then Dogram. Would you like to go to the academy with me?”

And after hearing the answer, Lulu smiled and asked me the question again.

“Hmm…”

Academy… I’m a bit worried.

Worrying about whether or not to go to the academy following Ruru…

“I’d like to take a professorship… At the academy. My father would love it.”

If you think about it, Lulu always asked me to come to the academy.

Of course, Lulu is the only daughter of the academy president. She is now a professor at the academy.

They want to recruit me somehow.

“Yes. I’ll go. I have nothing to do anyway.”

Of course, I couldn’t listen to Lulu’s request because I was too overwhelmed with the warrior party.

Still, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to follow Lulu to the academy if the hero’s party was over.

It’s a stable job in many ways, and it also guarantees your social status.

“Hey~~”

And there is one thing I want to teach the academy students.

@

The dean of Silverin Academy, Lucas, he had no choice but to close his eyes as he looked at the documents he received from the imperial palace.

“Haa…”

After that, I lean back the chair and sigh, and get lost in a bit of trouble.

The reason he is so worried is because he received a document from the Imperial Palace recommending that the academy be closed.

“What should I do with this…”

In the past, Silverin Academy was the most famous academy in the empire. It was a historically very good academy with a tradition that lasted 50 years, but that is no longer the case.

It has long since lost its status in the past, and is now called the academy with the lowest level among the academies.

This can all be seen as the result of falling behind the trend of the times.

“…”

So it might be natural to be asked to close the school like this.

Certainly, Silverin Academy had a pretty great pool of talent before, and above all, it couldn’t close the academy because it had a daughter named Sage Lulu, but things are very different now.

All the teachers have retired, and the only great teacher left is Lulu. Of course, because there is Lulu who is called the sage, she has endured until now, but no matter how great Lulu is, Lulu alone is not enough. I had to find a new teacher somehow.

“Ehh.”

However, there is no way to save it. Dean Lucas sighed deeply.

Other academies can recruit outstanding teachers with strong capital, but Silverine Academy cannot do that.

In the first place, there is no capital competition. Even if that were the case, there would be no teachers who dared to come to Silverin Academy unless they were geeks. In the end, it was a vicious cycle. A vicious cycle from which there is no escape. That’s why there are places where we receive documents requesting school closure like this.

“It would be great if such a person came…”

Dean, Lucas looked at today’s paper again.

The first thing to decorate the front page was the news of Sword Saint Dogram’s departure from the party.

Hearing the news, Lucas had a little hopeful imagination. That’s just the imagination of Dogram coming to Silverin Academy…

“That can’t be…”

But, after all, that was an absurd imagination. A talented person like Dogram is not a person who would come to such a periphery academy in the first place. The Swordsman Association, the Adventurer’s Guild, and the Imperial Palace Guard. Etc., And so forth, all groups that are far greater than Silverin Academy would want him.

Besides, even if he dares to come to the academy, his alma mater is not Silverine Academy. There was no way he would have gone past his alma mater and ended up in an academy like this.

Lulu is a party member like Dogram, and if you could think of the possibility of following Lulu, Lucas shook his head and denied it. Because his own daughter is not a woman with such fatal charm.

“Ehh… Well, closing the academy wouldn’t be bad either.”

Now it was time for Dean Lucas to make a choice. And that choice means giving up.

He tried to save the academy somehow, but it can’t be helped that there is no way.

So he had no choice but to write a reply. He replied that he agreed to the request to close the school…

“Dad…! I’m here.”

Lucas smiled forlornly and was about to write a reply to the imperial palace when his daughter opened the door to the dean’s office and came in.

“Hello, Dean.”

The dean wanted to welcome Lulu as usual, but he couldn’t. Because there was another person next to Lulu.

It was the Sword Saint Dogram I had seen in the newspaper.

“Lulu… Who’s that next to you?”

It’s not particularly surprising that Lulu is back. However, Lucas couldn’t help but be surprised that Dogram came here.

Then he asked, expecting something in case.

“I’m Sword Saint Dogram. I want to become a teacher at our academy from today.”

As I was thinking about it, I heard an unbelievable story.

The story of Dogram, the swordsman, serving as the teacher here.

“What…? Is that true?”

Hearing the story from Lulu, Lucas couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

“hahahaha… It looks like you didn’t talk about it. Lulu… As expected, this never happened…”

“Ah… No. No. No.”

It was the first time I heard from Lulu, but I didn’t deny it.

Because he was really needed.

“Of course we’re done talking about it. I’ve been so busy lately that I just forgot about it.”

…

Dean Lucas talked with Dogram like that. And he got Dogram’s signature on the contract.

He is confused whether this situation is a dream or not. I never dreamed that a talented person like Dogram would apply to an academy in such a remote area, and even when he applied here, I knew that he would ask for money or other things that fit him.

But it wasn’t. What he asked for was nothing special. It was about the salary and treatment that other teachers received, and the occasional vacation.

“Lulu…”

After Dogram left, Lucas said to Lulu who was next to him.

“Yes, Dad.”

Now he was overjoyed. With this, the academy might not have to close.

So Lucas hugged and liked Lulu, who had brought such talent that other academies and associations were looking for with lights on.

“My daughter is the best.”

As expected, a daughter raised well is the best.

@

“Not bad.”

I started walking around the academy and looking around.

Silverine Academy. Compared to the new academy, the building looks shabby, but it feels old-fashioned and nostalgic.

On the contrary, I like buildings that look like this more than shiny ones that hurt my eyes.

“I can do something nice here.”

Of course, I didn’t choose the academy just by looking at the appearance.

I am also a person who thinks deeply about my life, so I do not choose roughly.

Actually, there are quite a few reasons for coming here.

“Study of magic and swordsmanship…”

Actually, if you go to places like the Swordsman Association, the Imperial Palace Guard, or the Adventurer’s Guild, you might get a lot of money. However, if you go to a place like that, let alone you have to work hard, it might be difficult to live a particularly interesting life.

In that sense, the academy here suits me very well. In addition to the somewhat free and not rigid atmosphere, if it is an academy on the periphery like this, I can study what I want to study to my heart’s content.

The research to become a magic swordsman…

Sometimes I thought about it.

I wondered if it would be possible to fuse the two incompatible swordsmanship and magic.

Of course, I still use it as an enchantment, but what I want is not such a simple fusion.

This is a more in-depth, high-level usage method.

“Besides, there’s Lulu.”

Of course, you need a lot of magical knowledge to do that.

You can ask Lulu for help on that part.

Silverine Academy is a very good place for me in many ways.

“…Why are you here?”

But…

“Uh…? Brother-in-law, why are you here?”

Why is he here?
