-Keaaah!!!!
The Demon King’s Sword screamed.
I resisted, but it was no use.
The gap I was aiming for was the connection point where the Demon King’s Sword dominates the runes.
No matter how powerful the Demon King’s Sword is, it is a place where it is bound to be vulnerable.
‘Of course, it’s an area that I can’t target in the first place if it’s not me.’
yet.
dump.
Rune lost his grip on the Demon King’s Sword and fell.
‘it’s okay! It’s finally over!’
Indeed, these messages came to mind.
-You saved the Free City and Academy from crisis!
A message confirming victory.
The moment I was about to rejoice, I stiffened at the additional message.
-You have accomplished a heroic feat!
-Your achievements will be spread far and wide! Many people will hear about your achievements!
When I thought about it, it wasn’t something I would like.
Cold sweat broke out.
‘Did I cause an accident?’
The situation was so urgent that I couldn’t decide which way to act, but now that I think about it, I felt like I had dug my own grave.
As if my thoughts were correct, the message continued to tell me that I was screwed.
No, there was no need to hear the message.
I could tell just by looking at the way people around me looked at me.
“… … .”
Former President Randolph, Professor Bernstein, President Karak, etc.
Even the prickly Marquis Müller.
He was looking at me in astonishment.
What’s scarier is that everyone, including the noisy former President Randolph, is saying nothing.
It was as if he was so shocked that he didn’t even have the will to open his mouth.
Instead, the message rang wildly.
From Noble mtl dot com
As if to emphasize that I was ruined.
-A lot of people are paying attention to you!
-Multiple Transcendents are interested in you!
-The world’s powerful people are newly aware of your existence!
-The magic peacocks of the magic world are paying attention to you!
-The Demon King tilts his head upon hearing the rumor about you!
-Another Ascendant intrigues you!
ruined.
It was really ruined.
‘Ugh. I didn’t want to show off like this either. ‘I had no choice but to step forward because I felt like everything would be ruined if I stayed still.’
I had to do well from now on.
‘I have hope in the fact that I was originally Banregi. Everyone is probably still quiet, so if you live as quietly as possible, the rumors will die down.’
however.
The damn message threw an additional bombshell.
-The Dark Heaven Destruction Sword (暗天破滅劍) has been defeated!
-Obtain ownership of the Dark Heaven Destruction Sword!!
I was disgusted.
For reference, the Dark Heaven Destruction Sword is the official name of the Demon King’s Sword.
‘There’s no need for this?!’
Of course, the Demon King’s Sword is an incredible weapon.
But only if you can handle it properly.
‘It’s not for nothing that only the Demon Lord can be dealt with.’
Now that we have ownership, it may be a little easier to deal with, but the problem lies elsewhere.
The Demon King’s Sword was an aggro item.
‘If it becomes known that you are the owner of the Demon King’s Sword, you will attract aggro that is incomparable to before.’
I came to a conclusion.
‘Let’s pretend not to know. Just because you get ownership doesn’t mean you have to force it, right?’
Burr.
It felt like the Demon King’s Sword was vibrating, but I pretended not to see it.
The abandoned Demon King’s Sword would be collected from the Demon Tower or the Imperial Family, but it was none of my business.
‘There is a rumor that legendary items such as the Demon King’s Sword will find their owner on their own, but that’s probably just a rumor. How can a sword without feet find me?’
This time I looked at everyone who was still looking at me with their mouths open.
‘We have to sort it out.’
It’s a rumor that will die down over time, but it wasn’t former President Randolph or others.
If this continues, there will be a huge disruption in the smooth life of academy professors.
‘As much as possible, it wasn’t a big deal… .’
It was a moment when I was carefully choosing my words, wary of the Black Flame Dragon.
Suddenly, I heard this voice in my ear.
It was a message magic sent by former President Randolph.
-if… Ban, are you the Ascendant who showed up at the academy?
“… … .”
I had a hunch as I looked at Grandpa Randolph’s burning eyes.
It was a patchwork, a mess, and a failure.
* * *
The events that happened that day struck the entire empire.
There was a break in Phase 4, and the three evils took advantage of the break and caused a disaster.
-It was just an individual’s deviation, we don’t know.
The three evils denied their wrongdoing.
‘The 2nd prince will be behind him anyway, so it will be a mess.’
Above all, the empire had no power.
The rebels have already become warlords, the war with the Seven Kingdoms shows no signs of ending, the Lan Republic is just waiting for every opportunity, and the Demon Lord’s behavior is also unusual.
The only thing that could be done was to keep the three evils in check to prevent them from causing a bigger accident.
‘But, it’s not a good idea to let things go like this.’
I crossed my arms.
It’s okay to leave the three evils alone.
It was just used as a tool anyway.
The problem was the second prince.
This incident clearly crossed a line.
‘Does my father not know the true nature of the second prince?’
I had doubts.
When the scenario progresses, the inner thoughts of the father, Duke Huam, do not appear.
Was he unaware of the 2nd prince’s mistake, or was he aware of it and neglected it?
‘Anyway, I need to think seriously about the second prince issue. Even if it’s just to make my dream of becoming a professor come true.’
After thinking that far, I sighed.
The contents of the newspaper caught my eye.
-The hero who saved the Free City is Banregi?
-Anti-Ecclesia! Noticing the Three Evils’ plan, he puts the White Eagle Knights on standby despite everyone’s opposition!
-The only wizard to predict Phase 4!
-Banregi is now a legend! With the majesty of a great legend, kill all the warlocks of the Black Tower!
The meaning of Banregi has changed.
Now he was a ‘semi-legend’.
‘It was Silfinne who punished the warlocks, not me, so why did I end up doing this? ‘Is this something Silfinne did on purpose?’
Silpine’s amused expression came to mind.
That’s not all.
‘… ‘How did my name end up in the Hall of Rubines?’
As can be seen from this incident, there are all kinds of mysterious places in Bonginji.
One of them was the ‘Hall of Rubines’.
The names of those who have made great contributions to Rubiness Academy are automatically recorded.
‘The first president said it was made using the Philosopher’s Stone.’
Thanks to this, there was another uproar.
-Anti-legend! Enter your name in the Hall of Rubness!
-An anti-legend who became a great person who revealed Rubiness! It is truly a legend!
‘It’s a bit burdensome to get so much attention, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing.’
It’s not just about gaining fame.
There were also tangible rewards.
I looked around the lab.
It wasn’t the warehouse it was before.
I was given a spacious new room!
-bar! bar! Yeokki… ! good! Floor… No sting!
There was more to it than just being comfortable.
Just like on Earth, one’s position at work symbolizes one’s prestige.
This meant that the Academy recognized me.
‘Since I’ve made this much contribution, at least I won’t be eliminated from the temporary professor competition.’
For your information, the children’s activation of the barrier was also acknowledged publicly and their class instruction score was also given a perfect score or higher.
‘Unless something truly absurd happens, appointment as a professor will be a given.’
To my horror, something like this happened.
The interest rate on the loan I received when buying a house has gone down.
I asked why he went down.
-There is now almost no chance that you will be rejected for formal employment. I wish you all the best in the future, ‘Professor’.
Last time, the loan officer who had looked down on me as a temporary professor lowered his head in an incredibly humble manner.
‘me… Are we slowly becoming successful?’
It seem to be like that.
In particular, I didn’t get a spacious office like this even when I was the sales king of the district.
To be able to use an office like this in a company, you would have to be at the executive level level.
‘Now that I think about it, I had a bucket list.’
After quickly turning my head to make sure there was nothing.
I sat down on a chair and put my legs up on the desk.
‘Keuu! When I got my own office, I secretly wanted to be this carefree! I’ll take a nap like this later!’
There was another bucket list item.
I picked up my coffee cup and went to the window.
Why isn’t there something like that when you see it on TV? A scene where successful people look stylishly out the window in their private offices.
“… … .”
-bar?
“… no.”
‘… It’s on the second floor, so the view isn’t very good. It would have been better if it was on the 4th floor.’
For reference, the 4th floor was occupied by experienced senior professors.
‘it’s okay. This much is enough. Now I have to use this place as a hideout and live quietly.’
It was then.
“Professor, do you have time?”
A polite and heavy voice.
Surprisingly, it was Hans.
It was an intense gaze that was completely different from before.
‘Even the name you call me has changed. From Confucius to Professor.’
Before, I felt like I was following the Confucius of the family I had served in the past, but now I was completely calling myself my disciple.
‘… No, but can’t I become independent now? Lv. ‘Why do you want to continue to be a graduate student if you are a 6-year-old?’
“Why are you doing this? “Are you trying to tell me to leave again?”
“… … .”
“Didn’t I tell you? I will forever be Professor Ban’s student. It never goes out. “It was Confucius who told me to be honest about my greed.”
‘No, I understand that, but please do something about that burdensome look in your eyes. ‘I feel like I’m going to pretend.’
Even Hans’ embarrassment(?) did not stop there.
“Linden, you bastard! Are you being lazy again?!”
For reference, the lab I was given was divided into an office, which was my personal space inside, and a public lab used by graduate students outside.
“No, I’m preparing for a lecture?”
“You pathetic bastard! In my time! Preparing for a lecture like that… !!”
Lv. After reaching 6, he became even more of an old man!
Still, Lv. 6’s majesty was so great that Linden could not ignore Hans like before.
“Tsk, I have to level up quickly too. “Because it’s dirty and disgusting.”
This was an unexpected positive effect.
Linden was the top ten horse in the original scenario.
Although his mind was trash, his talent was outstanding.
If you come to your senses from Hans’ mistreatment, your future will be bright…
“hehehe, if you become a high-ranking wizard, you’ll get more credit loans, right? Should I create a stock account again in advance?”
hmm.
It seems it is still early for Linden to change.
“By the way, Hans, what’s going on?”
“A customer has arrived and is waiting outside. “I’ve been waiting for two hours now. How long can I ask you to wait?”
“2 hours? “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“You wouldn’t dare interrupt the professor’s work because of an uninvited guest who didn’t make an appointment, right?”
Eyes sparkling with loyalty.
‘Please come back to the previous Hans. No, the previous one wasn’t that good either.’
Previously Useless Hans.
Hans, the current nuisance and excessive loyalty.
It was a heart-pounding battle of the strongest in the world, where it was impossible to determine who was more pathetic.
“It’s okay, so tell me right away next time. “It’s rude to make you wait for two hours.”
“all right. “I’ll ask you to come in.”
“By the way, who is the guest?”
The next moment, I realized that rudeness wasn’t the problem.
“This is His Excellency Duke Bolman, head of the duchy of Rafalte.”
It was ruined.
* * *
If we were to express the current situation in a modern way, wouldn’t it be possible to do something like this?
– On the subject of temporary contract work, we unravel the story of how the number one head of the business world was made to wait outside the door for two hours.
I was so embarrassed that such a pointless thought occurred to me.
Why the Duke of Bolman?
You even waited two hours to meet me?
“Hmm! You seem really busy. They made this ballman wait for a whopping 2 hours, 7 minutes and 38 seconds. After all, he’s Professor Ban, the academy’s hero.”
Duke Bolman entered the laboratory with a red-faced face.
I sat down on the sofa, and something startling happened.
“Your Excellency the Duke, that position belongs to Professor Ban. “Your Excellency’s seat is over here.”
“!!”
‘Hans, are you crazy?!’
Linden and I were horrified.
There is a phenomenon called ‘level up high’.
In the joy of leveling up, you lose your temper and become temporarily delirious. Hans looked like that right now.
There would be a blanket kick later, but right now Hans was invincible.
However, what was even more surprising was Duke Bolman’s reaction.
“this… cheeky.”
Then, he obediently moved to the seat next to him.
‘Did I eat something wrong? ‘Isn’t he that kind of person?’
no.
I felt cold for a moment.
‘Duke Bolman, like a merchant, shows great patience when he wants something.’
It was clear that I wanted something now.
indeed,
“Hmm, the lab is nice. Do you like it? “Do you know that I actively agreed to give you this laboratory?”
“… thank you.”
Suspicious condescension.
I looked into Duke Bolman’s intentions.
indeed,
“I’m going to talk to Geodujeolmi. “Come under me.”
“!!”
Duke Bolman frowned.
“I’ll be honest. I crave you. So much so that I can forget all the bad relationships I’ve had so far. “If you pledge your loyalty to me, I will spare no effort in helping you become the best professor in the academy.”
I swallowed my sleep.
‘It’s difficult.’
I am now emerging as the new star of Rubiness Academy.
Therefore, he became a person who must be recruited from the perspective of Duke Bolman, who is trying to take control of Rubiness Academy.
on the other way,
‘If you can’t embrace him, he has become someone who must be eliminated.’
Indeed, Duke Bolman said this.
From Noble mtl dot com
“This is the last offer. “If you refuse, I will do whatever it takes to expel you from the academy.”
Paaat!
As expected, it’s a peacock.
Although I had no knowledge of any swords or magic, a strong sense of intimidation oppressed me.
I realized one thing about the threat and felt dizzy.
‘I can’t believe I’m going to get involved like this in the next episode.’
The next main episode of the Rubiness Academy scenario.
He was caught up in the ‘disaster of the golden ghost’.
