76 Facing Hwa Professor (1)
Angela Class is a very secluded place among the many islands that make up the academy.
So we had to travel by boat for quite some time.
“Is there really a class here?”
“It just looks like a rocky island… … .”
Schmitz and Viola were perplexed on the boat.
As there are no plausible buildings erected like other classes, it is natural to show such a reaction.
“The Angela class is in the basement.”
Chloe explained.
“Rumor has it that it is reminiscent of an underground dungeon.”
“It’s an underground dungeon… … .”
“He’s called a witch, so it suits him.”
Angela is not called a witch simply because of her gloomy mood.
One of the professors who did the most bizarre things was a man named Angela Bertinsky.
“Don’t be too nervous. Let’s land first.”
“yes… … .”
After getting off the boat, we explored the island.
However, looking around, there was no entrance to the basement.
“How the hell am I supposed to get in?”
“Wow, is this really Angela’s class?”
Hearing the bewildered voices of Schmidt and Viola, I looked around me closely.
and… Found a rock with many cut marks.
“You can go this way.”
“yes?”
I drew my sword and unfolded my sword.
And hit the rock hard.
“oh… … !”
Cuckoo!
As the rock split left and right, an entrance to the basement appeared.
“It’s a class that nobody brings in.”
“By the way, Ernas said he had been invited by Professor Angela.”
Actually, I never heard from Angela how to get into this place.
I just remembered the contents of the novel.
‘In the novel, you can’t find the entrance and take a foolish step.’
Since there is no reason to wander here, I just opened the door using the knowledge in the novel.
“Let’s go in.”
“Yes, Ernas.”
We went down to the basement.
It wasn’t that dark because of the soft lighting.
“Hey, the students are in.”
As we reached the large space, one of the busily moving assistants spoke to us.
“Did you come on your own? Yongke too… … .”
The assistant stopped looking at my face.
“Wait, are you Ernas Landsstein?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“… … !”
The other assistants looked at me in amazement.
Rumors of Archduke Lichtenauer also had an impact on the Academy’s junior assistants.
“Come on, wait a minute. Supervising professor… … .”
“What a fuss.”
Just then, a cold voice was heard.
The teachers’ faces hardened all at once.
“Lee, Professor Listeel!”
Ash blonde… A woman with golden hair mixed with gray was approaching this way.
I could see that the assistants were terrified by those sharp eyes.
“Since when did the students start looking for the professor?”
“Professor, but… … .”
“Don’t make excuses.”
“Sin, sorry!”
Listil Bradnev.
As a senior swordsman in Graduate, he was a regular professor who could be said to be the second in the Angela class.
In fact, it is these ordinary professors and assistant professors who usually deal with trainees.
It was unusual for a class advisor to deal directly with students, like Jols and Ferdinand.
“You guys, tell me your name.”
“This is Ernas Landsstein.”
“This is Serine Bastian.”
“It’s Chloe Jusburg.”
“This is Schmitz Hartmann.”
“Bee, this is Viola Aurius… … .”
At the sight of Viola stuttering, Listeel’s eyes became even colder.
Viola couldn’t help but bow her head in embarrassment.
“I will take care of you. If you are here for training, please follow my instructions from now on. Do you understand?”
“all right.”
“… … .”
As I answered calmly, Listel looked at me with sharp eyes.
But without saying a word, he turned his head away.
“Follow me.”
We followed Listel.
The atmosphere was so cold that we couldn’t even chat with each other.
After walking down the aisle for a while, we arrived at… It was a training ground for cultivating the Shinshin Art.
‘It’s a setting I made, but was there any reason to make this training ground underground?’
In an underground space reminiscent of a guerrilla training ground in the real world, Listel looked at us and opened his mouth.
“Once you are here, you will learn the Lichtenauer Spiritual Art.”
“… … !”
Everyone took a breath.
Since the opportunity to learn the Lichtenauer Renewing Skills representing the academy came, everyone had no choice but to be nervous.
“You cannot leave this place until you have mastered the Lichtenau movement.”
“yes?!”
Viola raised her voice involuntarily, then withdrew her body again at Listeel’s bitter eyes.
“Assistant Professor Eutrid, train your students.”
“Okay, Professor Listel.”
Listeel gave an order to the assistant professor who was waiting at the training ground, and then went straight out.
“Have you all heard Professor Listeel’s words?”
The assistant professor said in a coercive voice.
“You guys are staying here until you master the Lichtenauer Shining Art. Don’t worry, we’ll provide you with food.”
“… … !”
“It takes about ten days for a talented person. Even if it takes several months, there are many people who do not learn and give up and leave.”
I really have to be locked up here and only practice the Lichtenauer Shining Art.
Understanding that fact, everyone’s faces hardened.
“As you can see, here is a training course. If you break through various obstacles and traps and reach the end point within one minute, you pass.”
“In one minute… … !”
The training ground was unbelievably spacious that it was an underground space.
The end point was nowhere to be seen at all.
But they said it had to be done in one minute… Students unfamiliar with the new art will inevitably be perplexed.
“It’s more than that. Any questions? If you don’t have any questions, just explain the basics… … .”
“Assistant professor.”
I raised my hand as I interrupted the assistant professor.
“Can I check one thing?”
“What?”
“If I… … .”
Hearing my story, the assistant professor’s eyes widened.
* * *
‘Ernas Landsstein will come to the Angela class.’
Listeel was sipping tea in the professor’s room and thinking.
‘I acted with Professor Angela when subjugating the Lancaster family. That’s when I got the invitation.’
If so, it seems that Angela highly valued Ernas.
I was going to convince Angela to support Berrisrize, but it’s not a very good situation.
‘I need to give the best of my strength to Princess Berrys Rize… … .’
Listil has a deep relationship with the Shreière family.
Her father is a merchant who traded with the Shreière family, and her mother is from a branch of the Shreière clan.
For that reason, it can be said that the Shreière family’s blood also flows through Listil.
He had studied swordsmanship for many years in the Shreière family, so it was only natural for Listil to help Berithrize.
‘If the seat of Archduke Lichtenauer is at stake, I have to help Princess Berrislysee even more.’
In fact, Listeel contacted the Shreière home not long ago.
After hearing the rumors about Grand Duke Lichtenauer, he wanted to inquire about his future policy.
But before the reply came, Ernas appeared in front of Listel.
‘At this point, Ernas is ahead of Princess-sama. I’ll have to pull it down somehow… … .’
The problem was that if he acted recklessly, he might cause trouble to the Shreière family.
Considering the fact that the Lancaster family was destroyed while trying to get rid of Ernas, he could not move quickly.
‘I just want to kill you right away if you like it.’
Ernas is only a lower grade grade.
If Listel, a senior grader, wields his sword, he will be able to stop breathing easily.
‘After killing him like that, it would be best to disguise it as an accident at the training ground.’
There are many dangerous facilities in the underground training ground of the Angela Class.
These are facilities that can lead to loss of life if you don’t get your mind right.
How about pretending to be in an accident like that?
‘no… Also, I must not judge on my own.’
If this had been a different guy, I would have done it without much trouble.
But the opponent is Ernas Landsstein.
Rumors have it that Ernas was involved in the death of Theodora Waldfeld, which drove the Lancaster family to the brink of destruction.
That is why Listel had no choice but to be cautious.
‘I can’t help it. No choice but to ask the opinion of the Shreière family.’
The head of the Schreier family is famous for being very wise.
If you follow his instructions and move, there will be no problem.
‘I have to send a magical letter through the post office.’
There is a technology that transmits a sentence by sending a magical signal over a long distance.
If you use it, you can get a response faster than sending a paper letter.
‘Now, Ernas is at the Lichtenauer new magic training ground, so he won’t be able to go out for at least ten days.’
You have ten days to spare.
It is enough to decide the policy while exchanging opinions with Schreier’s side.
‘great. then… … .’
Listeel put down the teacup and tried to go outside.
I was thinking of sending a letter from the post office in the Academy’s main building.
“… … !”
But, the moment I opened the door to the professor’s room.
Listel couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Professor, you are there.”
“Eh, Ernas?”
Ernas was standing with his assistant.
Why is the guy who is training Lichtenauer Shinsengul here at the training ground?
Could it be that he gave up learning the Lichtenauer new magic?
“What happened?”
Listeel stared at the assistant who had brought Ernas.
But before the assistant could answer, Ernas spoke first.
“It’s all over.”
“what?”
“Training, done.”
Ernas said looking straight at Listel.
“I ran a training course in less than a minute using the Lichtenauer Renewal Technique. I wanted to ask what kind of training I should do next, so I came to the professor under the guidance of the teaching assistant.”
“… … !”
It hasn’t even been an hour since I locked them in the training ground.
It’s not even time for the theory lecture of the assistant professor in charge, but what the hell is this?
“How… … .”
You can break through this course only if you are sufficiently familiar with Lichtenauer’s new technique.
In this short amount of time, how is that possible?
“Ernas, please… … .”
Listil looked at Ernas and asked.
“Did you use any other spiritual magic?”
“yes?”
“I mean, did you run the course using the Shinshin Technique you learned separately?”
The fact that Ernas knew how to use divine magic was evident by looking at his achievements so far.
If it’s just a normal renewal technique, you can’t do it in less than a minute, but if Ernas has ever learned a special renewal technique such as Professor Angela’s Signiser renewal technique, it might be possible.
“If that’s the case, it’s unacceptable.”
“… … .”
“This is a training to master the Lichtenauer new art. No matter how proficient you are in other spiritual arts, you cannot admit it.”
Actually, there is no such rule.
But now, he had to use the professor’s authority to the fullest and grab Ernas’ ankle.
“School, Professor.”
At that time, the assistant who had brought Ernas opened his mouth.
“The trainee Ernas ran through the training course using the Lichtenauer Divinity Technique.”
“what?”
Listel doubted his ears.
“Assistant Professor Eutrid personally observed and confirmed it. It is true that the Ernas trainees used the Lichtenauer Divinity Technique.”
“… … .”
It was nonsense.
The Lichtenauer Renewal Skill is a skill that can only be learned at the Academy, and only in the Angela class, which has a dedicated training ground.
Even if you try to learn from others, you will not be able to master it properly unless you practice at a dedicated training ground.
“Hey, Ernas.”
Listil looked at Ernas and asked.
“What the hell are you… Where did you learn Lichtenauer’s new art?”
“professor.”
Ernas’ voice was cold.
“Am I obligated to tell you that?”
“… … !”
A cheeky and reckless talk.
But Listeel felt more chills than anger.
It was because I felt a similar feeling to when I met the head of the Shreière family in the past.
‘This guy… What the hell?’
Is this really a kid who hasn’t even turned 20 yet?
this is really… Are you saying that he is still only a lower grade swordsman?
‘why… Do you feel as if you are a higher level existence than me?’
In the midst of extreme embarrassment, Listille felt his breathing get short.
“Then, Professor.”
Ernas took a step forward.
As the distance narrowed, Listille almost inadvertently backtracked.
“What are you going to teach me next?”
“… … !”
Ernas Landsstein had come too close to wait for the Schreier family’s instructions.
