I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

18 – Academy’s first lesson

“noisy… oh What was your name?”

“Hey Serena! Ah, you know Faust!”

“Faust?”

“Gyo, professor!!”

When Serena saw my serious expression, she was very scared and corrected her words.

“yes. gulena. What are you doing here?”

“It’s Serena! Can you stop calling people by different names at will?! You were the one who told me not to leave the academy in the first place!”

“Yes it was. I was the one who ordered all of you who were members of Kwak Dong-soo’s party to stay at the academy until I found out who was the thesis thief. But, I just told you not to leave this surrounding space. I’m asking why you sneak into my sacred classroom and smell like rags.”

“that’s… Unlike the other guys, I didn’t graduate from the academy. I want to take this opportunity to go back to school… You know what? How did I get kicked out of the academy… . You were expelled after going to second grade. That… because of the incident.”

“Ahh… is that the case? It was a terrible incident. I’ve heard it too. It’s unfortunate. Actually, it’s not your fault.”

“! Oh, do you understand?!”

“yes. The smell of rags from your body was so strong that the three magic towers worked together to find the source of the smell and banish you. Well, don’t feel too guilty. The stench is not your fault. I mean, it’s innate.”

“?! no it’s not?! Don’t distort history!! baby brother! The whole family was branded a traitor and I was kicked in the buttocks because a son of a son who wanted to erase from his family register that I didn’t even want to call him brother jumped into the devil’s army!”

—Well, that means that Serena, who ranked first in the overall grades of the first and second years, was kicked out without being able to complete the third year course. It seems that she continued to study on her own after that, but her academic background officially dropped out of the academy.

In this place full of scholars who graduated from the academy and took the senior course, is it that the only job Serena could take on was a student?

“By the way, the other members were inaugurated as professors just like you. Because each of them is a specialist in their field. It seems that Alice and Dina are teaching the children at the Spirit Tower, and Beatrice at the Magi Tower. Not a full professor like you, just a special professor? Perhaps Tiffania will go to the Magi Tower when she comes here later. Because elves are good at magic… I’m the only one who came to the special skill tower… Do you understand this?”

“What?”

“I am really on your side! I will always be by your side as your aide! So join me in the party!”

“You can ignore the mop’s words. Since today is our first meeting, let’s start with a lighter voice rather than class.”

Serena yelled at me not to ignore it, but of course I ignored it naturally.

There’s no reason to care about a slut like that. It’s important to say hello to my disciples.

First of all, from a familiar face. Lily Windsor.

He is a typical schoolboy type with curly hair.

This is the child who sat in the front seat and listened to the class ever since I taught geology at the academy.

I never thought you would enter my magic tower. I was a little happy.

“Long time no see, Lily. You can go anywhere because your grades are good, but what are you doing here?”

“Professor Faust, unlike other professors, teaches you facts that no one knows. I’m looking forward to hearing more interesting stories from the professor!”

“But I’m sure if you take my class, people who don’t like it will say bad things around you.”

“Because the pleasure of learning something I’m curious about is greater than that!”

“… Right. You are of the same type as me.”

I don’t need money or fame. All he wants is to fill his pockets of curiosity.

Learners should have this kind of attitude.

Lily Windsor is also smart, so if she does well, she might be able to become my favorite student.

“If you have any questions, ask me anything. As far as I know, I will answer you wholeheartedly.”

“Yes! I have a question for you, master!”

“… In the classroom, I would have told you to call me professor, Missha. And what I just said is limited to Lily. If I gifted you an unlimited number of questions, the sun would go down after only answering stupid questions from you all day.”

“master! What do you mean by Magi Tower or Shinto Tower?”

“… That’s why I said I didn’t want to ask questions from you.”

Even the kind-hearted Lily is terrified with her mouth wide open. It is a natural reaction to a person with an IQ of three digits or higher who finds an idiot beyond imagination.

Even Serena is taken aback by Misha’s remarks. The nameless kid sitting next to him is just crossing his arms as if he’s not interested.

… no, that’s not it

From the looks of it, he doesn’t even know. Even the name of the tower they chose.

what good Misha’s foolishness is not a thing yesterday, so it doesn’t matter if I neglect it, but it’s a professor’s role to pass on knowledge to students who come to take my class, no matter who they are.

“Listen up Misha. And you, the kid with arms crossed.”

“… … !!”

The guy flinches and reacts. I guess I really didn’t know.

“You know that the academy is made up of three magic towers, right?”

“The names of the three towers are called the Divine Tower, the Magi Tower, and the Special Skill Tower, respectively.”

“I don’t know who first created the academy, but at least they didn’t build three towers just for fun.”

“It is to clearly distinguish the area. Isn’t everyone born with all-weather abilities?”

“To make it easier for students to choose the field they want to major in and study, the tower was completely divided.”

“The Shingi Tower is a place where guys who want to train their bodies gather. You can learn how to spend mana on body enhancement or weapon enhancement. There are quite a few cases where guys with low grades have no choice but to choose a new tower.”

“To put it very simply, the Magi Tower is a place to learn magic. The images that typically come to mind when thinking of wizards can be easily found in Magi Tower. Of course, there are a lot of people and the competition is fierce.”

“The specialty tower, in a nutshell, is a place where you can learn the culmination of everything except those two. If it’s good, it’s versatile, and if it’s bad, it’s learning the dregs. Even the geology I teach is not practical enough that the only way to make a living with it is to become an academy professor. If you’re not learning out of pure curiosity, it’s a waste of time. So the specialty tower is a place where geeks who have no interest in getting a job in the first place gather.”

“For example, there are classes like 「Explore the Demon Continent」. Can you guess what class it is? I’m just going to the Demon Continent. As you all know, the Demon Continent doesn’t even have a map. Just go and explore.”

“what… Although the class has been temporarily closed since the last time 38 students and 3 professors participated in the class and there were 39 victims. If such a crazy class had been held at the Shinto Tower or Magi Tower, there would have been zero participants. More than anything, it doesn’t help the spec at all.”

“That’s why the number of applicants for the special tower has always been overwhelmingly lower than for other towers. Even this year, I heard that students who felt the pressure even escaped because I was appointed as the tower owner. So… In other words.”

“You guys who are here right now are pretty eccentrics.”

After the first speech, I burst out laughing without even realizing it.

The number of people gathered here is only 4 people including the girl and the girl.

There must be hundreds of students in other towers.

In the eyes of others, we are just a group of losers, but… To be honest, it’s much more fun to take a class with a few unique idiots rather than the kids who just entered the academy to earn a living because of their inertia.

Oh sure… Except for the galena.

“I am a person from another world summoned from Earth. He is sometimes a hero, but his main job is a professor. It would be the best or worst choice in your life to give up the classic route of Shintops and Magi Towers and enter this school. Either way would be more fun than normal life, right? Welcome geeks.”

—While the students were smiling wryly at my enthusiastic welcome, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, something strange was happening on a hill not far from the academy.

Nearby residents say that the trees and bushes on the mountain are dying in recent years.

Rumors spread that the ground was so hot that the soles of the shoes melted and that climbing was impossible.

The reason why the fine mountain suddenly began to refuse life is because of a dragon that made a nest here a while ago.

“—Hasn’t a reply come from the hero yet? It seems that you have no intention of forgiving yourselves. Then, there is no reason to keep you alive.”

“Now, wait a minute! Whoops! Whoa… ! Everything, I’ll write a letter again! Perhaps an eagle! The delivery eagle must have caused a delivery accident! Whoa… !!”

A man with pterosaur wings sprouting from his back was warning Princess Isabel in a low voice as she was using a rock as a support to fill in the blanks of a letter with crooked letters.

Although he was in human form, he was a giant well over 2m tall, and steam radiated from his red skin. It was the high heat that was distorting the air around him.

“I-over there… No, just a glass of water! Can’t I just drink a glass of water, dragon… ? I think I will die of thirst at this rate. hot! It’s hot!”

“Ask the hero for that too.”

“aaa!!!”

“If you shed tears, you will only dehydrate yourself faster.”

Isabelle’s heartbreaking cries, whose cheekbones were emaciated to the point of being exposed, could not quench the dry dragon’s heart. Isabelle wrote the letter once again, not knowing how many times it had already happened.

“Remember, princess. If you don’t reply again, I will burn you alive. As I said beforehand, sudden death from shock and painless death is not permitted. I learned interesting magic from an elf I used to be close with. Even if your limbs are cut off and your head is cut in two, your consciousness remains clear and you have to feel the magic. You will die slowly savoring the pain of your body burning until the last cell turns to ashes.”

“… … … … … me, over there.”

Isabelle, who was writing the letter, swallowed dry saliva and asked with a frightened face.

“Cha, can’t we meet the warrior in person and ask for forgiveness?”
