148 – So suddenly!?
The academy vacation passed quickly.
One month to prepare for the ‘Sea Wall’ exploration, and another month to go and return.
From noble mtl dot com
It took a month to clean up afterward, so vacation was already over.
However, the fact that the three-month long vacation passed quickly meant that we had a busy time.
Because we only focused on ‘successful exploration’ without wasting any time, we felt like time had passed.
The 30 people who participated in the exploration of the magical singularity with Ed had grown significantly compared to before.
The power of underwater monsters, the betrayal of the Kingdom of Clendor, the sea wall over 600 meters high, and Ed’s performance.
All of this was thanks to stimulating them and becoming a driving force for growth.
“So, Sir Ed wiped out all 20 Klendor elites by himself?”
However, the busy time was limited to a few academy cadets.
Most of the cadets heard about the exploration of the Empire and Klendor and were curious about the inside story.
In particular, the rumor that ‘there is a s*xy romance between the princess of Clendor and the Count of Fix’ was enough to stimulate the curiosity of the lively cadets.
Edgar Fix, now he can even conquer the princess of Clendor!
“I uploaded the video because I knew you would be like that. Take a look. “He’s really crazy.”
And the people who created these rumors were none other than those who participated in the expedition with Ed.
Ed, who received the protection of the Archmage and the Princess and received the title of earl, is already the most popular, and as a cadet who admires strong men, he has no choice but to like Ed.
In particular, there were many people who participated in the expedition with Ed who looked up to him.
And those people were the number one contributors to spreading rumors about Ed within the academy.
“You’re crazy. What was it earlier? Try it again. “It’s crazy.”
Like that, the cadets gathered around the cadet who was using the ‘memory regeneration’ technique and were watching Ed’s performance.
In particular, the sight of taking out a laser cutter and rotating it 360 degrees to slice the enemy was one of the highlights.
“····I think it’s much stronger than before?”
“He is just an overwhelming first emperor. “No comparison.”
“But if it’s Isabella…?”
“A. It’s different now than it was then. Didn’t you just see it? The kids we cut down earlier aren’t Clendor cadets, they’re elite soldiers. “They were killed with just one hit?”
“Do you think there will be some conditions? “Witches are the strongest in the mental field.”
The cadets talk about various things while looking at Ed’s powerful force.
Like this, the evaluation of Ed was being updated in real time.
In particular, among the academy cadets, there was one cadet who made ‘tier charts’ just for fun, but since there was no selfish interest in grading, even the cadets who created the most reliable tier charts made an exception for Ed.
Many cadets asked the tier list maker the reason.
“Just don’t meet the conditions. Do you remember the last time we got into underwater combat with Klendor? But Edgar Fix does not meet those conditions. Speed, destructive power, strategic moves you can use. Nothing is lacking. In particular, even though Prince Ian put a mana block on Edgar Fix, he broke through even that. “The attack power is awesome, the defense is awesome, the speed is awesome, it’s just incomparable.”
A tier table creator that explains Ed’s strength, emphasizing that it does not depend on the battlefield conditions.
The creator of the tier table said so and rated Ed as S+++.
It is an unconventional level that almost borders on Sword Master.
“No, he’s similar to Sword Master Professor Gracia?”
“Uh. “I just said he was crazy.”
At this, the cadets murmured and expressed their thoughts.
No matter how similar it is to the professor, public opinion was divided, with some saying it was overkill and others saying it was worth it.
“What’s the point of talking about it? The evaluation match will be held soon anyway. “You’ll see it there.”
However, as soon as the word ‘evaluation match is held’ circulated, all the cadets began to nod their heads.
After the vacation is over, you are required to take an ‘evaluation match’ to see the results of your training, so you can check Ed’s skills there.
[Edgar Fix did not attend]
However, when it was announced that Ed would not be attending, the cadets began to express their disappointment.
Rumors that Princess Bianca gave away her body.
Rumor has it that he single-handedly killed the legendary monster Kraken.
Rumor that he single-handedly destroyed Klendor’s battleship.
It was a golden opportunity to confirm the rumor that he had defeated 20 Klendor elites at the same time, but he missed the great spectacle.
[Professor Edgar Fix scheduled to take office]
However, a week later, when an official notice was posted that Edgar would be inaugurated as a professor, an even bigger uproar began than when he heard the news of his absence.
This is because it has significant implications for Edgar, a commoner who is not yet 20 years old, to be appointed as a professor at an elite academy where only nobles can enter.
It was a very unconventional personnel decision.
“····Well, if Ed is the fix, then it’s acceptable.”
“Okay. “Because it’s not anyone else, it’s Count Fix.”
“Then there will be subjects?”
“Is that okay?”
However, the cadets who read all of the official documents seemed to be satisfied with Ed’s appointment as professor.
The reasons why Ed had no choice but to take office as a professor were listed in detail.
[Official document – Edgar Fix’s inauguration as professor]
Name: Edgar Fix
Birth date: September 5, 785, Imperial Calendar
Title of appointment: Visiting Professor
Appointment period: September 17, 785 ~ September 17, 791
The above person achieved lasting achievements in various fields such as politics, economy, technology, culture, and military.
By developing ‘Graham’s North Wind’ and ‘Mana Mosquito Net’, he raised the standard of living of the entire empire and resumed trade with the United Kingdom of Dwarves, which had been cut off for decades.
In addition, he was the first human to receive the title of ‘Salvation’ from the Dwarf King, and as the captain of this exploration team, he clearly demonstrated his command ability and crisis response ability.
In the process, he proved his social, technological, political, military, and military capabilities, and this is fully recognized by all walks of life in the empire.
And the board of directors and faculty of this academy concluded that the level was ‘leader’ level.
It is no longer at the level to receive the teachings of our school.
For this reason, I, Sephilia Ulysseus Kindel von Orserk, the president of our school and the princess of the empire, recommended the position of professor to the person above, who is pioneering an independent path called ‘magic engineering,’ and he took up his calling.
The school’s board of directors and faculty also unanimously agreed.
Therefore, as soon as this official document is published, ‘Edgar Fix’ will graduate from our school early, and at the same time, he will be inaugurated as a ‘Professor of the Department of Magical Engineering’ the day after the evaluation period ends.
※ In the pursuit of strength, the path extends into countless paths, so I hope that you will follow Edgar Fix, who pioneered a new path called ‘Magic Engineering’.
***
Stupidly enough, I ended up becoming a professor.
I literally became a professor ‘out of the blue’.
The trigger was Elena’s question.
The question is, ‘Isn’t it a waste of time for someone as skilled as you to take classes?’
-Of course it’s a waste of time.
I gave an honest answer.
I answered that it was meaningless time since I had already gone through regression several times.
Because you know all the content without having to take the class.
-Then let’s just not listen. There’s something much more important than that.
So Elena told me not to just attend class and to focus on improving my strength.
Now that I know that she is also a player, let’s focus on her duties.
-You cannot leave the academy. To save this world, your strength alone is not enough.
However, I have returned several times and am aware of the possibility of major NPCs…No, fellow descendants.
And I also know very well that I am the only one who can guide their strength.
Those with such infinite potential cannot escape the academy.
-Then there is only one way left. I could be a professor.
So out of the blue, Elena offered me a professorship.
If you want to secure personal time while remaining at the academy, there is nothing better than being a professor.
-This suddenly?
-Is there such a thing as a sudden thing? I know all your skills.
Elena highly recommended me for a professorship.
She said that if you have the skills, there is no position like this, adding that if you have your head and initiative, you will be able to conduct the class well.
So, after thinking about which position would be more helpful to the heroine’s growth, that of a cadet or that of a professor, I answered Elena.
-Phew…Yeah. They do stupid things.
-hehehe. You look like a cute fellow professor? Then I’ll make a suggestion to Sephy. Professor Fix.
·····Well, it means that I suddenly became a professor.
Thanks to this, I am able to focus more on the dynamics of the Demonic Cult and my personal growth, but… I still feel a little confused.
I went back several times and was only a cadet each time… But this time, I became a professor.
“····Well, it’s not bad. “Rather, this is better.”
However, the actual benefits from this were enormous.
Now that I am no longer a cadet, I can move freely at any time, securing a huge amount of personal free time.
In particular, since it is a liberal arts subject and not a major subject, I only have to lecture on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.
There is no need to waste the entire Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday on unnecessary time like before.
“The name… Must be very awkward.”
However, my face got hot for no reason when I thought that the cadets I was in the same class with not long ago would call me ‘Professor Fix.’
Well, in private, I plan to just live comfortably as before, but in order to conduct classes, I have no choice but to call myself ‘professor.’
If you are going to teach someone, you must have some level of authority.
“Ah… Why does everything feel so awkward these days?”
When I think about it, the relationships around me are changing so radically these days.
Just yesterday, Fix suddenly evolved into a female android assistant robot and suddenly told me to call her ‘Eve’.
Well, for now, I say I will understand and am trying to live comfortably like before… But I can’t help but be worried.
The fact that Pix, who used to be just cute, turned into a female robot of my taste is no different from the shock of having your cat turn into a woman and saying, ‘Call me Piknyang &’.
“At least things are okay with Elena…”
And the change in the relationship also happened to Elena.
After exploring the sea wall together and learning that we were both ‘players’, it became a bit awkward.
However, as time passed, that issue was resolved.
There is inertia in relationships, so Elena is still a professor and teacher to me, and I am a student to Elena.
Because their previous memories had not yet fully returned and they were treating each other’s past as a ‘past life’, their awkward relationship with Elena was able to return quickly.
“·····More than that.”
However, there is a more important issue now.
This is the dynamic of the devil religion.
Currently, I am distributing my informants under the pretext of managing the ‘mosquito nets’ sold across the country, but the behavior of the Sigmund family seems strange.
This is because I heard information that village residents gather together every night and go somewhere and that disappearances have occurred in each village.
In particular, since the Sigmund territory is where ‘Max Sigmund’, who hates me, is located, I have been instructed to keep a closer eye on it and scout it out.
If there is any new information, I will be the first to let you know.
***
“····Count Sigmund is dead?”
3 Days later.
Quite shocking information has been obtained.
It is said that while Count Sigmund was training at a closed gym, he overexerted his body and died suddenly.
“····Yes. However, the atmosphere inside the castle… Seems to have something more hidden. “The servants’ expressions were unusual.”
I nodded.
A strange and suspicious rumor that has recently been floating around Sigismund’s territory, and Max’s personality.
And considering the ending of the guy who always ends up as a villain, I was able to come up with a pretty plausible hypothesis.
Max This guy is acting like an asshole again.
-Beep! Beep beep! Beep beep!
While I was thinking about Max joining the Devil Church, the pager suddenly rang.
It was a pager given by Harris, the head of the ‘Egerton’ family.
I immediately pressed the button and asked what the business was.
[Sorry for contacting you suddenly. My name is ‘Miller’ and I am a direct agent of the Egerton family. I am contacting you because I have information that I really need to share with Edgar Fix.]
····What information do I need to hear?
I asked for the general information.
As expected, there was information that the activities of the Kingdom of ‘Entica’ were suspicious.
Every time I return, the first place that becomes occupied by demons.
“What makes it suspicious?”
However, it was too early.
This is a time when the entire kingdom is slowly being eroded by the devil religion, centered around Swordmaster Gyro, so it is difficult to find any clues.
That’s because Gyro is a very thorough person and is famous for not making mistakes.
“····The gyro waves are gaining strength too quickly. On the other hand, Kevin Parr is falling.”
Gyro Parr and Kevin Parr.
From noble mtl dot com
These two are the largest factions in the Kingdom of Entica. The Gyro faction is the faction that supported participation in the great war seven years ago, and the Kevin faction is the faction that opposed the war.
However, in the Great War seven years ago, the Kingdom of Entiga suffered a severe blow and its economy collapsed, causing power in the Kingdom to pass to Kevin Parr.
More than 90% of the public also supports Kevin Parr.
‘Originally, Gyro used the Devil Church to gradually bring down Kevin Parr. He shows himself to be morally corrupt…’
How Gyro turned the entire Kingdom of Entica into a den of demonic religion.
It begins with morally corrupting Kevin’s faction and turning the public sentiment towards his faction.
In other words, after gaining the people’s trust through all kinds of manipulation and fabrication, he made the entire people believe in the ‘Salvation Church’, that is, the devil’s religion, by putting forward a prince whom he supported.
In this way, the Kingdom of Entica gradually deteriorates over four years according to Gyro’s design.
60% Of the people will become half-devils, and the remaining 40% will become demons, becoming an outpost for demons.
‘But now…’
It’s urgent.
If you bring about the downfall of Kevin Parr like this, it is obvious that the public will be suspicious.
It is completely different from Gyro’s meticulous and cunning method.
“····Thank you for the information. “I’ll have to find out more.”
So, I developed a few hypotheses in my head.
And surprisingly, one of the hypotheses I came up with is that Max’s behavior is connected to Gyro’s uncharacteristic way of handling urgent tasks.
There is a correlation between the two.
“I guess I should give it a try.”
So, I got up and got ready.
Count Sigismund just passed away, so I guess we can go pay our respects.
It’s a face I don’t want to see, but I have to come and see Max’s face.
Just by looking at his eyes, you can quickly tell whether the taste has gone bad or not.
