I don’t give up on my students
When you arrive in front of the Magyesu, the white light disappears.
―Oh, are you here? You came quickly.
Fortunately, Luciel greets me with a calm smile.
“What was that light just now?”
―To charge the laptop.
“No, laptop charging?”
“You said you were charging with light, but it didn’t work. Just in case, I tried it with light magic and it worked.”
Yesterday, I brought Luciel a spare laptop prepared to give to Master’s laptop if it breaks down.
The sun here is purple, so it seems that charging is not going well.
No, but to use the same magic as before to charge the laptop… .
Mana is very rotten.
-What, are you worried about me?
“Of course I was worried.”
-uh? uh… You said you’re not my style
I blush and say, it’s ridiculous.
“What did you say? I can’t learn magic without you. I still have so much to learn.”
There are quite a few magics Lee Ji-sung learned from Luciel besides regeneration magic.
In particular, long-distance movement magic such as warp, which is not present in modern times, or subspace magic that plays the role of the game’s inventory… .
―So you weren’t worried about me, you were worried that you wouldn’t be able to learn magic, right?
How come the expression is pretty bad.
“uh? Anyway, in the end, I was worried about you… Hey, what’s wrong?”
-I don’t like you either.
“Why again? I brought something to eat even when I didn’t have time to give it to you.”
– Anything to eat? Do you know that I am human? I don’t care if I don’t eat.
… Master also spoke like Luciel at first.
“Still, think of the sincerity of the person who brought it and eat it. It might suit your taste unexpectedly, right?”
-it’s okay. The food that lower humans eat.
“Then I will eat alone.”
After opening the cup noodles and adding the soup, I remembered, but there are no pots or kettles here.
There were all cooking utensils in Sabune’s portal, so I came without thinking.
I was thinking of going back for a while, but I made water in the air with water magic.
I boiled the water with samadhi evolution and carefully controlled it and put it into the cup ramen container.
Close the lid and cover the opening with chopsticks and you’re done.
I do everything I can to boil a cup of ramen.
Next time I come, I’ll bring some pots and the like.
I turned on my laptop while waiting for the ramen to cook.
As I was writing my lesson plan, Luciel approached me.
“Why?”
-Aren’t you going to practice magic?
“I’ll do it after I eat and do some work. And this time, I have to go quickly, so I can’t do it for long.”
– When are you going?
“15 hours later?”
-So fast? When will you come next time?
“Um, in about a week? I’ll be there for two days then, and I’ll be back in two days.”
It will be 7 o’clock at the earliest when I get off work after dinner, but I plan to stay here for an hour or two and come back when I go to sleep if nothing happens.
-You are very busy.
“Well, yes. If you’re bored, go and use your laptop too. They said it was fully charged.”
– You can do that even when you’re not there. Do you know how boring it is to be here alone?
It’s a pity, but the flow of time is different, so I can’t help it.
Still, I want you to know that I always come here whenever I have free time… .
“As long as I was fine. I’ll bring you new books next time you come.”
After soothing Luciel, I looked at the cup noodles and discarded the water because the noodles were almost cooked.
I pour the sauce and split the wooden chopsticks and rub them together, but Luciel stares at me.
“You say you don’t eat? If you said eat it, I would have boiled yours too.”
―Who, who cares?
Pretending not to be interested and fooling around on the sidelines is completely the same as the former master.
“Then can I eat it all by myself?”
―I-I don’t really care… Well, if you’re suggesting that, you’re sincere… .
After all, it means you want to take a bite.
Originally, when eating ramen, ‘just one bite… .’ The guys who do it are ‘extremely disgusted’, but I felt sorry for being alone, so I made a bowl with a ramen lid and handed it to them.
“Now, here.”
―Are you asking me to eat with my hands?
“Just drink it.”
―Without a body, how is it? give me that too
He rescued the drowning man and asked him to leave his luggage. It was absurd, but I handed over my chopsticks to him because I didn’t want to argue.
“I just rubbed and didn’t put my mouth on it, so use that.”
―What color is this? is it blood
“What about blood, am I a vampire? It’s made from a plant called chili, so eat it.”
After explaining, I picked up a suitable tree branch nearby and made chopsticks for me to use.
When you eat it with a large pair of chopsticks, the spicy taste hits your tongue.
Also, the fried chicken noodles… . ah! I forgot to tell Luciel that it was spicy.
Well, since his name is a fallen angel, of course it’s okay… .
… it’s not
Seeing her face turn red and say whoa, whoa, it makes me smile without even realizing it.
-you… Are you trying to assassinate me? this… Whoa, I think this is poison. Whoa!
“What kind of poison is poison, overdoing it. That’s called spicy.”
-Spicy? No, why are you eating this? My tongue seems to be numb. Isn’t it really poison?
“I eat well like this.”
Luciel’s pupils dilate enormously when he eats with a large spoonful of chopsticks.
-Are you okay? no, wait! Are you the only one who took the antidote beforehand?
“You get used to it when you eat.”
―How do you get used to this? Also… I didn’t eat the food of lower humans.
Luciel, who stretched out her tongue and fanned her hand, handed her a mini chocolate bar feeling sorry for her.
“Eat some of this, you’ll feel better.”
―Do you think I will be fooled twice?
Hey, I don’t trust people too much.
“This is really not spicy, so try it. Yes, if this is too much, I will not go back and I will stay here with you for the rest of my life.”
-who. who… My whole life with an ugly kid like you… town!
If you give it to me, I’ll eat it finely, but there were so many words, I just peeled the skin and put it in the guy’s mouth.
-You’re really behind… huh? I feel better after eating this. is it the antidote?
“No, it’s not poison in the first place! How about it, is the chocolate bar worth eating?”
―Is this a chocolate bar? Give me another one because it’s gone so fast I don’t know.
I was going to take out a chocolate bar and hand it over, but I thought I should teach him how to open it, so I opened the wrapper in front of him and put only the chocolate bar in his mouth.
“Did you see how it was done? If you want to eat again, you can peel it and eat it.”
―Well, this is worth eating. i eat all of this
Before he even answers, he picks up the bag and leaves.
It’s not just enough to eat, it seems to be very addicted.

“Your brother is really… Maybe it’s because I’m not a Hunter, I don’t know that academic background is important even for Hunters.”
“Isn’t it okay to go to the 4th school our Jeongsu attends?”
“The 4th school isn’t bad, but it’s hard to get a job at a large guild in Seoul once you’ve graduated from the 4th school.”
“So our Jeongsu can really go to 1st school?”
“then. Sooner or later, there will be a spot in the 1st school swordsmanship club. Transfers are made in the order in which you apply, regardless of your qualifications or grades, so apply for a transfer to the school as soon as you receive a call.”
“Boss, isn’t it possible to apply for a transfer only when there is a vacancy?”
“Sister-in-law, there was an accident at the 1st school last month, right?”
“Ah, the case of the Antas Italia gang member? I saw it on the news. But I heard that there are no dead students, so there are no vacancies, right?”
“There are no dead students, but there are crippled ones.”
“yes? But last month… Could it be that the vacancy is already filled?”
“No, they said they haven’t dropped out yet. When I checked with the school, they said that my parents had submitted an application for dropout, but my homeroom teacher had rejected it. Dropping out of Hunter School cannot be dealt with unless the homeroom teacher agrees.”
“yes? Then, when will you be seated?”
“I’m going to the superintendent this Wednesday. I will advise you to fill the vacancies, so the vacancies will be filled as early as this Friday or next week. I’ll call you, apply right away.”

“Everyone has improved a lot! We are really proud of our students who are working hard. Let’s have a delicious lunch and fight for the afternoon class.”
“Number… thank you for your effort.”
“effort… You did.”
I’ve told you beforehand, but the kids are a little perplexed.
Of course, I usually don’t make unfamiliar remarks like this.
In addition to these comments, we had discussions that we wouldn’t normally do, and even sparred with some students, including Minhee and Jinsu.
Two instructors were watching the class from the back of the swordsmanship training ground today.
Not only the supervisor, but also the vice principal and the head of the academic affairs department came to watch.
The observation class did not last all morning, but the observers arrived around 11:00.
I didn’t think much of it, but I got a little nervous when there were people watching the class.
Still, everyone’s expression is good, I think it’s okay.
In fact, the vice-principal brought the inspectors, greeted them, and exchanged a few words.
Everyone praised the class, saying that the contents of the class were very good and the kids were active, so it was nice to see them.
It would have been nice if he had just complimented me, but he asked me to eat lunch with him.
I tried to refuse the afternoon class as an excuse, but the supervisors said they were serving meals instead of going out, so I had to eat with the vice principal, the dean of academic affairs, and two inspectors.
I wanted to eat a little more comfortably… .
It would have been fine if it had ended at rice, but after finishing the meal, the vice principal suggested we drink tea.
This time, I didn’t even have time to make an excuse, the head of the school affairs department jumped out and fell out, and the two inspectors asked me to drink together, so I had no choice but to head to the assistant principal’s office.
While drinking tea and chatting, it wasn’t particularly interesting, so the inspectors got up first.
“I’ll go too.”
“You stay awhile. I have a story to tell.”
“Anything to talk about? What is it? I heard the class was okay.”
“The class was good. But in the morning, I conducted a survey of the students in your class with the supervisors.”
“A survey?”
“There was an accident last time. That incident is one of the reasons the inspectors came today.”
“ah… Yes.”
“I also felt it while holding meetings in place of you several times, but the atmosphere of the children was heavy. According to the results of the survey, it seems that everyone has not yet fully recovered from the shock of the accident.”
“I’m trying, but I’m sorry. Sooner or later though… .”
The theory requested by Mr. Kim is almost complete, and the regeneration magic is also in the sense that Min-ha can be cured in a little while.
“No, I didn’t mean to blame you. You even caught the culprit yourself. But Mr. Kang, why don’t you fill the vacancy in your class now?”
“What do you mean?”
“I talked with the supervisors about the results of the survey in the morning. He said he’d better fill your class vacancies quickly.”
“The schoolmasters?”
“I feel sorry for the injured student, but I have to think about other students as well. Every time I see a vacancy, I will keep thinking about it and it will be painful, so I’m telling you to fill it up. I am of the same opinion.”
“No, Vice Principal… .”
“When I asked the head of school affairs, he said that the injured student did not come out of school after the accident. The parents of the injured students have already submitted their withdrawal documents.”
“My parents applied, not Min-ha’s doctor.”
“No, Mr. Kang, I know very well how much you care for your students. But have you ever thought that your stubbornness makes it harder for him?”
“I know what you mean, but there is a promise Minha and I made. We decided to wait two months.”
“What will happen if you wait two months? Realistically, you know that injured students are no longer able to work as hunters. Stop letting go now, not only for that child, but also for the other students in your class… .”
What do you want to let go?
The reason I risked my death to fight against Luciel and still learn magic while going through hardships is all for Min-ha’s sake.
never do that
“It will be different.”
“no… Hey, Mr. Kang… .”
“I do not give up on my students. Is it realistically impossible? Then you can break down the impossible reality and make it possible.”
