chapter 3
2. New Instructor
As I walked out the front door, I thought with a sad heart.
‘You said I accessed the intranet and stole other people’s information?”
Whatever it was, it was absurd. It was unfortunate, but there was nowhere to complain. For the past few years, I’ve been putting my life into the academy, so all the relationships around me exist only at the Helmund Academy.
I lost all my contacts and acquaintances in an instant.
– woo woo woo
In an instant, the calendar app I had saved on my phone started working. I checked my phone and saw the schedule I had written down earlier.
[Schedule: My birthday. Even if you’re busy this year, don’t forget to eat seaweed soup. If there is a student who congratulates you or gives you a gift, make a note of it and do not forget to repay it later]
‘Today is my birthday..’
I thought with a bitter smile.
‘Until I wrote this down, I thought I would get a lot of congratulations.’
– tyring
– tyring
– tyring
The phone, which had been silent, started ringing like crazy to see if the notifications on the phone, which had been turned off because of the calendar app, were forcibly turned on.
I checked my phone. Countless texts were flying there.

Most of them were ‘anonymous’ messages. But it was obvious who didn’t see who sent it. Well, most of the people who know my number are from Helmund Academy.
[Die, trash]
[You always looked gloomy. After all, contemplation is science
[A pathetic bastard. Is it a hobby for men to spy like that?]
[I didn’t like it from the beginning, he said he was disgusted with the attitude he always tried to teach. It looks good.]
[Pathetic and dirty]
[Why were you born? A bastard who only wastes oxygen]
[After all, it’s an orphan, so it’s a spectacle of how she behaves]
[Just commit suicide.]
-widely
I closed my cell phone.
Okay. After all, since I was possessed here, I was alone.
Just think of it as a dream you had for a while. Even the moment I was respected as an S-class instructor at Helmund Academy, and the effort I put in, I don’t mind if I think that it was just a game.
– 🥺🥺
I lost my strength and lost the documents I was holding in my hand. As I was picking up the papers that had been lying on the floor, all of a sudden, I looked so miserable.
“Ouch…”
“Mom, that uncle is crying.”
“Shh. Be quiet, Minsung. I think he got cut off at work. If you don’t study later, you’ll become like that old man. So, should I study hard?”
“yes!”
You might have thought that I couldn’t hear it, but for me, the [Sensory Amplification] skill is always active. Their conversation could be heard clearly.
I stared blankly at the sky with tears in my eyes.
“Oh, I just wish they were all dead.”
At that time, when I was lost, a notification window appeared.
– It has been 10 minutes since the link of the successors connected to the [Walker of the Royal Road] skill was disconnected.
– If the unlinked state is maintained, [Severe Fate] will be granted to those who were successors.
‘Ah… yes… this was it…’
– [Hard Fate] Activation waiting time: 23 hours: 49 minutes: 53 seconds
They’re the ones who pretend to be nice now. The dogs who terrorized me to commit suicide. Look forward to it. The pain you guys will experience in the future will be ten times as many as mine.
[SSS] One who walks the royal road
◎You can link by designating your successor.
◎People who are linked as successors are given an explosive synergistic effect of amplification of their abilities and growth rate.
◎The number of ability amplification and growth rate improvement is proportional to the skill holder’s ability.
◎Number of linked successors: 521
The reason why Helmund Academy students were able to grow explosively is simple. because of this skill. To be honest, it is true that my theory and lecture helped them a lot, but without this SSS-level skill, I wouldn’t have been able to grow this fast.
[Walker on the Royal Road] can be designated as ‘heirs’ for the elderly, young children, men, and women to amplify their abilities and improve their growth rate. Even the improvement value is a nonsensical morale skill that is proportional to the skill user’s ability.
However, the skill [Walking the Royal Road] has a fatal flaw.
First, the consent of the other party must be obtained.
-I want to give you something like a buff to help you grow, is that okay?
-yes. Anything is fine as long as you can improve your magic skills.
Of course, in this way, even if you do not specifically agree on the skill contents, you only need to obtain a rough agreement from the other party, so it is difficult to say that this is a disadvantage of the passive skill for buffs used on allies anyway.
The problem is second.
A person who was designated as a ‘successor’ in the [Walker of the Royal Road] skill will be given [Severe Destiny] when the ‘successor’ qualification is disqualified.
[SSS] harsh fate
◎The growth rate is greatly reduced.
◎Luck stats are greatly reduced.
◎ Mana utilization is greatly reduced.
◎The total amount of mana gradually decreases.
◎Sometimes great bad luck comes.
◎All effects will last until re-linked as a ‘successor’.
‘It’s really terrible to see it again.’

Most of the students who took my class were those who took the magic-based hunter class. The harsh fate of the students in such an academy was a debuff skill that could be said to be quite hopeless.
Probably, these guys don’t even know they’re under this kind of debuff, and they’ll start to break down. If I reincorporate them as ‘successors’, they will return to their original state, but of course I have no intention of doing so.
“Be well. It will be difficult, though.”

I caught a taxi passing by and got on it.
“Where shall I go?”
“For now, please run anywhere.”
There was no place I wanted to go, no place I had to go. Because overnight I became unemployed.
– woo woo woo
Suddenly, the phone starts to ring.
‘At the very least, there must be a terrorist message telling me to die.’
The moment I looked out the window with that thought.
– woo woo
It started vibrating again.
Then I checked my phone, and there was a call, not a text. A familiar name was written on the screen.
[Yang Han-gil]
‘It’s the former classmate of Helmund Academy.’
Yang Han-gil is a classmate who worked as a lecturer with me when I first came to Helmund Academy. He went to another academy after working for about two years, but I remember him as a guy whose skills were not bad.
‘what?’
Apart from what I remember, our friendship wasn’t strong enough for this guy to contact me like this.
‘How many years have you been contacting me? Even at this time?’
I thought it was strange, but once I got the call. There was nothing to do anyway.
“hello?”
“Wow, I really got it. Joo-Won Choi’s cell phone, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Hey, I’m Yang Han-gil’s older brother. Remember? We worked together as instructors at Helmund Academy.”
He still had the image of calling him a full-fledged older brother because he was born only two months earlier.
“Yes, I remember. What did you call for?”
“I heard the news, man. You said you were cut off at Helmund Academy today? Let’s meet today because hyung will buy you a drink after a long time. come out later in the evening I have something to tell you, so you have to come, okay?”
I was reluctant to suddenly treat someone I wasn’t close with, but I wanted to drink, and I had a story to tell, so I decided to go out.
When evening came, I went to the address given by Yang Han-gil and found a large bar. At first glance, it looked like a luxurious place.
‘Ah.. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a bar like this.’
I haven’t even been drinking lately because I’m afraid it might interfere with the next day’s schedule. It was the effect of the skill [Walking the Royal Road] that allowed the children to grow, but the curriculum that thoroughly managed their physical condition and changed their lives also played a big role.
‘Huh.. Now I can go on without thinking about the next day.’
It was a moment when I suddenly realized that I had been fired.
There were already billions of dollars in the bankbook before I started working as a lecturer, so I didn’t have to worry about money at all. It’s true that I made a lot of money while working as a lecturer, but I didn’t start because of money in the first place.
“Uh, here it is.”
As I entered the store, Yang Han-gil waved at me.
Next to him was a beautiful-looking woman. Looking at me as if I was who I am, Han-gil Yang said with a smile.
“Ah~ He’s a close sibling, and he said he wanted to take a look at you. You were so famous with the title of S-class instructor. Perhaps that was the phrase? The world’s best! Joo-Won Choi, an S-class instructor who trains practical magic hunters!”
Yang Han-gil exaggeratedly spoke with a strange face and smirked. From that moment on, I felt strong.
‘The f*cker… wasn’t he calling me to make fun of me?’
As I was looking at Yanghan-gil as if uncomfortable, the woman next to me greeted me.
“hello. This is Seol Eun-ah. I heard a lot about Joo Won from Yang Han Gil. He’s a very famous person, so I’ve been wanting to see him for a long time, and it’s an honor to see him like this.”
Looking at Seol Eun-ah, who greeted him politely, Yang Han-gil frowned as if in dissatisfaction.
“Hey, Seol Eun-ah. You call me with all my last names, so why are you being so kind only to that bastard?”
“Mr. Yang Han-gil. Again, I just followed you because you showed Joo Won today, so please don’t say anything strange.”
“Twitter.”
It was roughly painted.
‘Yang Han-gil seems to like Seol Eun-ah next to her. Seol Eun-ah doesn’t seem to be interested.”
At that time, Seol Eun-ah laughed and talked.
“Sit.”
After that, the drinking party started.
As the drinking party continued, Yang Han-gil shouted and became unable to say goodbye.
“Hey, sh*t. Do you know how crazy I was because of you when I was a lecturer at the Helmund Academy?”
As I was looking at him in embarrassment at the sudden swearing, Yang Han-gil raised his voice even more and spoke.
“That’s right. If I put together a curricula carefully, all the dog-like bastards will rush to you. Is it possible to attract students regardless of their ability if they are good at marketing? Is not it?”
I looked at Yang Han-gil like I was embarrassed and talked.
“What nonsense are you talking about? The reason that the lecturers flocked to my class rather than yours was because my teaching ability was superior. It has nothing to do with marketing.”
Yang Han-gil chuckled and replied back.
“Do ji-lal. In terms of skills, I am far superior to you. You used to be a lowly hunter, but I worked in the tower. Practical Instructor? It’s not even funny. I didn’t come to the tower because I wasn’t good enough, so I didn’t roll my body~ Am I wrong?”
Wrong. Scouting offers came in countless times even from the tower. I just had to enter the dungeon to complete the quest. And as is evident in my memory, I know that Yang Han-gil broke the prohibition not to touch the tower, was kicked out after a year, and started working as an academy instructor.
I smirked and talked.
“Does it count as a career if you were cut off after working for a year at the tower?”
-bang
At that moment, Yang Han-gil slammed the table and stood up.
“hey. Don’t be rude, you bastard. It wasn’t cut off, I was gone.”
Then the boy laughed and spoke.
“Yeah, I figured it out. Unlike you, who was caught and cut off while scouring the intranet darkly to steal students’ personal information.”
Yang Han-gil started to giggle. Then he came close to me and showed me his cell phone.
[Congratulations on hiring a lecturer at Helmund Academy. Starting tomorrow, as a ‘Practical Magician’ instructor…]
Practical Magic. This is a subject I teach my students. I think they hired this guy as a new instructor.
“Choi Joo-won. do you see this Actually, I came out today to brag about this. Instead of you as an asshole, I’ll take your place. I was hired as the instructor of the practical magic class you were teaching. Finally, the Helmund Academy recognized my excellence.”
“What do you think? I envy you? In the past, he sneered as if something had happened in the past, but now he is quietly shutting down like a honey-eaten idiot. Do whatever it takes.”
Unlike Yang Han-gil, who was rude, Seol Eun-ah did nothing wrong. He’s just looking at Yang Han-gil with hateful eyes from the side.
I wanted to get rid of Yang Han-gil right away, but I thought it was rude to Seol Eun-ah, the first person I had ever seen, so I endured it relentlessly.
But he crossed the line.
“Ah.. you bastard~ Why are you searching the real intranet? After all, I grew up without a mother and father, so I don’t know that people are good.
– clink
Right next to Yang Han-gil’s eyes, the glass I threw flew and broke. I can’t stand the pads at all.
“Mi…are you crazy?!”
I quietly stared at Yanghan-gil and talked.
“You are crazy, you idiot. Come out, I’m in a bad mood today, so let’s get it right.”
