41 – Club Time (6)
The three people look at Dav’s question with eyes full of tension.
Kael took a deep breath.
‘Phew.’
It was somewhat expected that I would be caught.
Wasn’t the guy you just faced at a level where you had to give your all?
Kael quietly glanced at her students.
Students looking at us with expressions full of curiosity.
Looking at the look in his eyes, it looks like he can’t be deceived by lying.
In the end, no matter how many times she tried, Kael let out her shallow breath and did not deny it.
“Okay. “He is a great wizard.”
“”?!””
The next moment, Dav, Ray, and Law open their eyes wide.
The three people also expected this, of course.
However, hearing it directly from the person involved, I couldn’t help but be quite surprised.
At that time.
“Hmm?”
Unlike others, Maria, Ellie, and Elaine are not surprised.
Ray looked at those three people with a puzzled expression.
“Did you know?”
“It’s me, I’m the daughter of the Magic Tower owner, so there’s no way you wouldn’t know.”
Well, it’s ridiculous that Maria, who is not just anyone else, doesn’t know.
Even when she said she didn’t know in the first place, she didn’t really believe it.
‘Even though Maria is like that.’
What I didn’t expect was that Elaine and Ellie knew.
As the rest of the people stared at the two, Elaine scratched her cheek with an awkward smile.
“Ehehehehe. I noticed it the last time I was kidnapped. “More than that, how did Ellie know?”
Everyone, including Kael, focuses on Ellie.
In fact, Kael could not help but be surprised.
Of course he also knew what Maria and Elaine knew.
However, it is Elli who is not anyone else.
She said she knew that she didn’t have much contact with him, so she couldn’t help but be curious about herself as well.
Ellie answers with a meaningful smile.
“Well, just think of it as something I noticed during the festival.”
“At the festival?”
“What happened then?”
While the students tilted their heads as if they didn’t understand what he said, Kael immediately understood.
‘I guess they noticed it in the arena.’
Ellie was watching the arena from the VIP room at the time. She thought she wouldn’t be discovered because she was using a perception-impairing mask, but she never thought she would be discovered like this.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter now.’
Even if she didn’t get caught then, she would eventually get caught today.
At that time.
“Professor! “Can I ask you a question?”
Elaine asks in a voice full of curiosity.
When Kael nodded her head as if asking her to ask a question, she asked her question with a twinkle in her eye.
“Uh, I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while, but you say that the Archmage is usually only found inside the Magic Tower. Why are you a professor?!”
“That’s right! “I was curious about that too!”
Everyone nods their heads as if they agree with Elaine’s question.
Hmm, what should I do with this?
She actually made Meria a professor because she nagged her to go outside.
Is it right to say this now?
Look at the eyes of the students over there. Their eyes are shining as if they are completely curious.
‘If you say something wrong, it seems like it will destroy your innocence.’
In the end, Kael decided to lie to her.
“I wanted to teach students who will lead the future, so I asked the chairman directly.”
“Um, for us?”
The students opened their eyes wide, probably because they were quite shocked.
When I showed such an innocent side for no reason, my conscience prickled, but I tried to pretend it was nothing and nodded.
“Okay. “Someday, there will be a generational change.”
After hearing those words, the students look at them with eyes full of longing.
Please don’t look at me like that. For no reason I feel like trash.
“Hey, that’s why you became a professor.”
In an instant, Maria narrows her eyes and says that.
Maria knows herself better than anyone else.
It looks like she heard the reason from Meria.
Afraid that he might say something strange again, he quickly changed the subject.
“Hmm! “Is everything better than that?”
“Ah, yes. “Thanks to the professor’s magic, no one was seriously injured.”
In response to his question, all students nod their heads.
After examining the students’ bodies, it appears that no one was seriously injured.
‘Then now.’
Kael looked at the students.
Then, she opened her mouth.
“Please step behind me for a moment.”
“Yes!”
Everyone nods and Odo also retreats behind Kael.
Kael infused his magic power into the circuit.
-Woooooh.
Blue magic emanating from his body.
The students who saw that got goosebumps on their forearms.
I have seen his magical power before, but this is the first time in my life I have seen such a vast amount.
Kael continued drawing his magic formula without paying attention to the students’ reactions.
Soon, he summons the Spirit King once again.

-Did you call me again?
“I’m sorry. “I still have work to do.”
-What is it again this time?
“It looks like the forest here needs to be restored to its original state.”
The students who heard the conversation between the two looked in disbelief.
Just by looking at it, the forest is a mess right now.
To be honest, I cannot imagine returning this devastated land to its original state.
However, unlike them, the Spirit King nods his head as if this is just gum.
-Okay. I’ll help you.
With those words, Kael breathes his magic into the floor.
-Whaaa
Blue light emanates from the ground.
And then, the land that had rotted and crumbled due to the demonic energy gradually disappeared.
And isn’t this the end?
-Tick! Tick!
A huge clock emerges from the ground, and suddenly the forest begins to grow again.
The power as if to create something.
Is this really a wizard?
Does it make sense for one person to demonstrate this kind of power?
I have seen countless magicians and powerful people, but this is the first time in my life that I have seen such extraordinary power.
Not long after that.
“Wow.”
“I’m really back.”
“This is what happens.”
The forest has returned to its original state.
Kael let out her shallow breath.
“Whoa. Good work.”
-Yes. Now let’s get to the real thing.
With those words, the Spirit King went back.
Kael quietly looked at the forest that had grown back.
‘I’m glad it’s back to normal.’
Actually, I originally planned to just leave it alone.
Anyway, even if it’s not you, it’s usually a matter that adventurers ask the Magic Tower and the Holy Allied Powers to handle, so they can take care of it.
However, the monster from this world that appeared this time is a little different.
This guy’s magic was not at a level that an average wizard could solve.
As a result, he had no choice but to take action himself.
‘Well, the next time it appears, I’m trying to prevent it from self-destructing like this time.’
Kael shifted his gaze, recalling Klisman’s magic.
Then, the students’ eyes sparkle.
Kael tried to ignore their burdensome gaze and opened his mouth.
“Then let’s go back now.”
“Do you also walk when you go home?”
When Maria nodded her head in response to her question, she looked behind her with an expression full of despair.
“aaah! “Is it okay if I just take it a little easier?!”
Ignoring Maria’s words, we walked back towards the Adventurer’s Guild.
I could hear her screaming from behind, but it wasn’t really important.

Van von Lionel quietly reading a book in the imperial palace.
The man called the second prince is reading a book.
“What are you reading for so much fun?”
Carly, who naturally appears in front of him, asks a question.
Instead of answering, the class showed the title of the book.
“Why do ants work hard? “It doesn’t look very fun, does it?”
“Well, it’s not really fun. “I just read it because, from my perspective, it seems no different from the ants in the book or the people in the city.”
“It really varies.” “Did you know more than that?”
When Van closed the book and asked, Kali raised the corners of her mouth as if she had asked a good question.
“Okay. I figured it out. “I heard that the academy is holding a midterm exam this time.”
“Take a midterm exam.”
“I heard that a field trip is possible?”
Definitely these days, parents no longer have to visit students while they are taking exams.
However, in the past, there were quite a few parents who came on field trips to take exams.
‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to see it as a justification for checking my younger brother’s test.’
After organizing her thoughts, she opened her mouth.
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to stop by the academy before taking the midterm exam.”
It looks like I need to see that professor in person, Kael.

Approximately a few days have passed since the club activities ended.
His identity was discovered by the S-class classmates, but fortunately they did not spread rumors or anything.
I guess they also know what will happen if my identity is revealed.
So today, we are preparing in the lab as usual.
-Knock knock knock.
“Professor. “This is Ellie.”
“Please come in.”
Ellie opens the door and comes in carefully.
I made a puzzled look at her sudden visit.
“Are you here because you don’t know something?”
“No. “Professor, I came because I wanted to talk to you about my brother.”
I felt like I needed to have a serious conversation with her.
