290 – I found it, my manpower – 3
Today, the principal’s back looked bleak. It’s been a long time since this kind of compassion has been since the anti-ban battle.
“The academy is open to those who want to learn. The difference in blood does not come as a difference in opportunity, and the difference in nationality does not come as a difference in outcome.”
Still, the miserableness didn’t eat up even the brain, the principal’s words were perfectly normal. The academy doesn’t treat ordinary students with disrespect, and it doesn’t give bad grades to foreigners, how wonderful that is.
But the words are definitely true and good, but why do people who listen to them naturally become sorrowful? If someone sees it, ‘Please don’t make any accidents because we’re so peaceful and fair.’ I will see it as a plea.
‘Are you begging?’
Honestly, it seems like pleading is right.
Anyway, after the school opening commemoration speech that stimulated the sympathy of the listeners, the principal followed, the vice principal, and the head teachers in charge of each school continued to teach.
‘It’s the same this year.’
Seeing the lineup holding up well in the chaos of the academy made me feel at ease. In the first place, there is no change in the head teacher unless an incident happens.
It is stated that the head teachers of each department of the academy change from time to time according to their abilities without a fixed position period, but in reality, the four who have held the positions of head teachers for more than 10 years are solid and enduring.
Ministry of Swordsmanship, Ministry of Magic, Ministry of Priesthood, and Ministry of Academic Affairs. The chief executive officer of the four faculties that make up the academy is a person with abilities recognized beyond the empire and on the continent. It’s a place to teach the imperial family or nobles, so how am I supposed to seat an ambiguous person? Of course, he brought in a big player in the field and put him in, so he is holding the position of head teacher like a defending champion.
That’s why being a head teacher at an undergraduate school is considered an honor, and students from high-ranking families tend to show respect to head teachers. Even the new students who see the head teacher for the first time look at the head teacher with respect—
I heard
.
‘…It’s too explicit.’
Students are agitated even though the head teacher is in front. No matter who sees it, the gaze is not the head teacher, but the back.
It may be unpleasant for the head teacher who was suddenly ignored, but the head teacher seemed anxious to finish talking quickly to see if he understood the passing of his eyes. As if he wants to get out of this place and see the person behind him.
‘It’s worth it.’
The eyes of the students and the glance of the head teacher of the Ministry of Magic were directed at me. To be exact, to the person standing next to me.
I followed her line of sight and glanced at her side, then I saw a woman with her eyes closed quietly. She is a woman with long white hair that drags on the floor and her ears that pierce the sky.
“—Next, I would like to hear from His Excellency Jong-Kong Ma, the dispatched instructor of the Magic Tower.”
At those words, Prince Majong’s eyes slowly opened.
A head teacher who is a giant in the field? The defending champion who held the position for over 10 years? What do you know, a living legend that is no different from the field itself has appeared. The head teacher of the Ministry of Magic also bowed to his knees as soon as Lord Majong teleported to him. I was even more embarrassed to see him because he was an old man.
“Feel free to say it. Whatever you say, they’ll love it.”
“Huh, yes. Thanks for the advice.”
As I gave my own support and encouragement to Jong-gong Ma, who proceeds according to his remarks, Jong-gong Ma smiled lightly.
Actually, I’m a little worried. Jong-Kong Ma is a hikikomori who lives only in the Magic Tower, so he has no experience giving speeches in front of others. I wonder if this is too abstruse and the students fall into confusion, or the speech will end before the welcome applause is over.
Of course, considering the reputation of Prince Majong, everyone would be happy even if he cursed at them.
As expected, Prince Majong’s speech ended in enthusiastic cheers. It was roughly the same reaction as would-be pirates who heard that there was a One Piece.
“Ask anything during class. I’ll teach you everything I know, so what you learn depends on your efforts.”
The trap is that it’s a declaration comparable to the real One Piece.
The Majonggong declared ‘Everything I know’, but there is no magician who is sane. The continent’s best wizard teaches you everything, but your skills don’t improve? That means your talent is at the bottom, so let’s give up the magical path.
The school opening ceremony and entrance ceremony ended amid cheers and applause from the wizard students who went berserk, and the students who were not wizards but were intoxicated by the reputation of King Majong.
“Baby, let’s go.”
Then, I had doubts about the image of Ma Jong-gong slowly approaching me and holding my hand. I can go to the club room as it is, but doesn’t Ma Jong-gong have classes? Could it be that you will become a professor from the first day?
“How about class?”
“My class is 4 classes, so it’s okay.”
From noble mtl dot com
Okay. It’s strange that one dispatched instructor is in charge of all classes.
If Gong Majong was the owner of a mediocre reputation, he would have rolled to draw mulberries, but who could roll Gong Ma, who is superior to the principal?
“I want to go to the club room. I want to see what kind of place it is.”
“Okay.”
I smiled when I saw Ma Jong-gong with twinkling eyes. Even if you say it’s a club room, it’s just a clean and well-equipped space, but from the perspective of Ma Jong-gong, isn’t it a dream space that you’ve only heard about?
Specifically, it must be utopia in that it is a space where I spend more than half of the day.
***
It’s been a while. It was the first time my heart beat like this since I was dumped by Louise.
It’s a bit miserable metaphor, but it’s sincere.
‘Majonggong.’
I came out of the auditorium after the opening ceremony, but it is still as vivid as if there is Majonggong right in front of my eyes. It seemed that the voice of Ma Jong-gong lingered in my ears.
This is unimaginable. Who would have predicted that something like this would happen even before the winter break, even before I returned to my country.
‘Instructor of Majonggong.’
My hands started shaking before I knew it. He desperately endured to maintain the dignity of the royal family, but even the royal family’s dignity could not overcome the magician’s instinct.
Last year, I was satisfied with just listening to an ordinary Mage Tower dispatched instructor. Isn’t it the magic of the Empire, not Juven, and even the magic of the Mage Tower, which is said to be systematic and perfectly organized? That’s why I thought that being taught by the wizard of the Mage Tower would be helpful for my future. In fact, there have been several achievements.
By the way, it’s the Majonggong. The pinnacle of all wizards on the continent, the symbol of the magic world of this era, Majonggong came to teach.
‘It’s luck that won’t happen again.’
Yes, I’m really lucky that I won’t have it again. Even if you are born again, you will not be able to enjoy the luck, from the wizard’s point of view, it is more fortunate than being born with royal blood. To the magician, Prince Mahjong is more than a king. It can be compared to God in that it is an object of absolute awe.
“Ask anything during class. I’ll teach you everything I know, so what you learn depends on your efforts.”
As I remembered what Jong-gong Ma had said, my heart, which had calmed down a bit, began to convulse again. Thanks to the grace of being able to ask Duke Ma anything during class, he realized that he was at the same time superior to other students.
Of course, I’m not trying to get special treatment by claiming that I’m a member of the royal family. A duke of an empire is equivalent to a prince of a country, so how could he claim to be a royal family and cling to him? What I can assert is that Prince Mahjong’s prospective companion is an adviser to the confectionery club, and that Prince Mahjong’s only disciple is Louise, who is from the same club.
There is a difference between heaven and earth where there is no point of contact and there is a faint connection. Besides, being an acquaintance of a prospective companion and the only disciple is not at the level of a faint connection.
‘I can’t just believe that.’
However, you cannot ask someone unreasonably, trusting that they are just acquaintances. Advisor is a preliminary partner? I already owed a lot to my advisor during the first semester of last year. Louise? If I ask honestly, they’ll do it, but they’ll probably try harder than necessary because of the guilt of dumping me. That’s what I’m rather sorry about.
‘I need something to give…’
Excluding Louise, who seems to be overdoing it, only advisors are automatically left, but I don’t know what to ask of the advisors. A person who lacks something should be able to trade.
It’s complicated. What card do i have? What card can I present to tell the advisor to give me a chance to see Majonggong outside of class hours?
“──Ha.”
At the very least, I need to be able to give the torture what it wants, so I want it too—
“Later deterioration.”
‘Ah.’
I woke up late. It’s a shame that you can’t even hear someone calling right next to you, no matter how much you struggle.
“Call me senior at the academy.”
“Ah, yes, Senior Later.”
As I quickly regained my composure and turned my gaze to the direction where the voice came from, I saw a very familiar face.
Rachel Sorta, a freshman from the nobility of the United Kingdom of Juven. At first, she decided to enter her academy because of her relationship with me, but after belatedly hearing the news of Jong-Kong Ma’s dispatch, she went into a frenzy.
“What happened?”
I feel even more ashamed when I check her face. Because I showed a blank look in front of people close to me.
Fortunately, she didn’t care too much, Rachel opened her mouth casually.
“Senior, didn’t you say it was a confectionery club?”
“It was.”
She had nothing to hide, so when she spoke plainly, Rachel saw a faint madness in her eyes.
“When is the club membership period?”
At that, she understood Rachel’s intentions. The rumor that Ma Jong-gong’s prospective companion is an advisor has already spread enough to spread. Aiming to join the confectionery club in such a situation means borrowing the help of an acquaintance like me.
As expected, the magicians’ power of action was terrifying. How can everyone benefit by rolling their brains so fast—
‘…The power of action of wizards.’
She turned her thoughts in a different direction for a moment. A myriad of wizard students, a desire to somehow get closer to Majong-gong, a confectionery club that everyone knows, and an advisor who will inevitably apply for membership and be baptized.
There is. I now have a card that I can present to my advisor.
‘I just need to control it instead.’
Consider the torture as a stepping stone and control the students who will rush at it, and block the application to join the club. Then the torturer can escape the annoyance and attain tranquility.
And in return, I secretly ask the adviser. Due to the nature of torture, I wouldn’t be ruthlessly ignoring it.
‘Worth a try.’
Thanks to Rachel, I was able to make a good card.
Actually, Rachel is also included in the control target, but if I learn properly from Ma Jong-gong, I will teach her instead, so I hope there is no resentment.
