I quickly erased the thought that came to mind.
Of course, the two departments were the liberal arts department and the auxiliary department, but that would never be the case.
‘The well-behaved protagonists may have accidentally overslept today.’
… Even though I thought it was a story with a slim possibility, I didn’t give up hope and headed to the president’s office.
There was a full notice for new temporary professors.
‘An official letter came from the Ministry of Education? ‘What’s going on?’
Kansir and Balas, who arrived first, expressed hostility towards me.
“… Sheesh, as soon as the semester starts, I have to see your unlucky face.”
“Professor Ban, you are still elated. The new semester has started, so prepare yourself.”
However, unlike before, I felt a different emotion than the disregard of putting me down.
-I will never lose.
At that time, I heard a magic message in my ears.
-How dare you be rude to your benefactor. Should I kill them both?
It was Amanda!
‘… Could you please stop telling scary stories with a blank face? ‘It seems sincere when you say it with an expressionless expression.’
No, I really mean it. A clan of assassins.
I shook my head to stop Amanda and looked away, but I made eye contact with another person.
It was a rune.
‘Rune, now that I think about it, who is he really? ‘It’s the equipment of Sky Island?’
Sky Island was a sacred place of magic.
A place where geeks who only indulge in magic without any interest in worldly affairs gather together.
I also didn’t know exactly what kind of people were on Sky Island.
‘For some reason, I think I’ve encountered Rune in a scenario as well.’
The Grand Master’s intuition was speaking.
Rune is definitely not an ordinary new professor.
But then,
‘… ‘Did you laugh?’
I thought I had seen it wrong, but no.
Rune smiled slightly at me.
However, it was not a pleasant smile.
I couldn’t explain it exactly, but it felt somewhat unclear.
It was the moment when I was about to open my mouth to say something.
“Ah, nice to meet you, new professors!”
Chancellor Karak appeared in a comical manner, like a peacock, covered in jewels all over his body.
“Seeing the brave faces of the new professors fills my heart. Professor Ban, I especially enjoyed hearing about your performance during your training as a professor at the Faculty of Magic.”
When President Karak mentioned me, there was a buzz around me.
For your information, there was not only a new professor from the magic department here, but also new professors from all departments, so there was quite a crowd gathered here.
“It was no big deal.”
“hehehe, you look so humble and even arrogant, it completely makes my heart flutter. Indeed, I look forward to seeing how great they will be in the future. Especially in the assignment to be announced this time.”
Everyone in the hall tilted their heads at the word task.
I also made a puzzled expression.
‘What task suddenly? And that to professors?’
President Karak looked troubled.
“An official letter came from the Ministry of Education. “This new semester, we ask that new temporary professors be assigned a ‘welcome class’ as well.”
The room was buzzing at the unexpected story.
“Everyone knows that the next two months will be an adjustment period for students. During this period, you can take common classes regardless of department, and if you wish, you can change majors by taking an exam.”
‘Welcome Class’ is a temporary class that students belong to during this adjustment period, and is usually taught by junior professors.
‘But you’re also leaving it to temporary professors? I’ve never had anything like this before? no way?’
I felt an ominous chill.
The Ministry of Education was under the influence of the Second Prince, the Apostle of Ouroboros.
indeed,
“However, the new temporary professors are not full professors yet. The welcome class you take will be decided by the students themselves. “Only students who apply will be admitted to the welcome class taught by new temporary professors.”
“!!”
I sensed the intentions of the Ministry of Education, to be exact, the Second Prince Renius, the Apostle of Ouroboros.
‘My reputation is still half-reliable. ‘No one will choose me, so they want me to fail this assignment and get kicked out of the academy.’
“Hoho, it’s an order from the Ministry of Education, but I think it’s a good idea. Letting students choose themselves can also be said to be a professor’s ability.”
“… … .”
“The performance of the Welcome Class instruction will be reflected in the professor’s evaluation, so please do your best. “I’m especially looking forward to Professor Ban, hoho.”
President Karak gave me a disgusting smile as if he was watching and disappeared, and I frowned.
The official document sent down from the Ministry of Education contained detailed evaluation criteria and contained the following content.
– Temporary professor qualifications will be revoked if the class size does not exceed 6 people.
It was clearly aimed at me.
Linden and Hans made a fuss.
“Senior class, is this okay? “There’s no way there would be 6 idiots applying to a class with a senior in the class, right?”
“Huh! Linden, you bastard! What do you think of Confucius Ban?! Even if you are kicked out of the academy, there are many places for Confucius to go! Should I ask His Excellency the Duke to find a seat in advance?”
“You know that you are more hateful than me, right?”
It was announced right away, and the freshmen were excited.
“You can also join the temporary professors’ welcome class?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to just go to classes with regular professors?”
“no. How many famous people have been appointed as new temporary professors this time? Honestly, it’s better than junior professors.”
“I’m going to sign up for a class from Professor Ballas, a genius in magic theory.”
“I am in the class of Professor Kansir, a renowned swordsman.”
“I’m interested in the war mage career, so I’m planning to apply for Kurosh*tsuji Amanda’s class.”
It wasn’t just them.
This time, Rubines Academy’s new temporary faculty was particularly solid.
Freshmen flocked to famous people regardless of their department.
Of course, it had nothing to do with me.
“By the way, there is a name here called Ban Ecclesia. Is this the Ban Regi I know? “Is it true that Banregi was appointed as a temporary professor at our academy?”
“I guess he was appointed by parachute. The Ecclesia family says they are honest and just, but they do something like this. I’m disappointed.”
“By the way, I’ve heard some strange rumors recently? “Banregi has changed.”
“Do you believe that? That Banregi has changed. “It would be more likely that our hunting dog would evolve into Cerberus.”
“I heard another rumor. Ban Regi went crazy and suffered from paranoia. “I heard you go around saying you’re the hero of a legend?”
In fact, my reputation was worse among freshmen than among the general public.
Perhaps it was because young students heard about me through rumors among themselves rather than receiving information objectively.
Thanks to this, Kansir and Balas survived.
“Ban, cheer up. If you, the guy who beat me in a duel, gets kicked out before even having 6 students, I won’t be able to save my face. what. No matter how hard you try, it will be impossible to fill 6 people.”
“Well, I’m worried that there will be too many students. How many of the students who come to me should I give up? Of course, there is no way any student would agree.”
Amanda, the black swan who is worse than anyone else, said this.
“Should we kidnap, threaten and torture students into Professor Ban’s class?”
“… “Be patient.”
For reference, more than 10 students applied for Amanda, the screw-up assassin clan, and Rundo from the gloomy Sky Island.
Of all the temporary professors in all departments, I was ranked overwhelmingly last.
‘It’s not like there were zero applicants.’
There were two people.
Who is it?
“Now, here are the class application submission documents. Please sign. What is that expression? Professor Ban, I’m not applying because I like you, right? “It seems like no one is signing up for the professor’s class, so I’m just signing up out of pity.”
“Well, I’m applying because I like the professor. Please accept me into your class.”
… These people are not welcome at all.
It was Catherine and Rivelle.
“Not required.”
I quickly tore up their application form.
“No, what are you doing?! I was so worried that I applied? “Don’t you know that we’re in danger of being kicked out right now?”
“Well, I’m not worried, I just applied because I like the professor, right?”
“That’s right, classmate. Now is not the time to cover up. “Whoever the other person is, you have to bow to them and bring them to you!”
“Class Confucius, if you are doing this out of pride, I will take the students’ place… No, Linden will serve you instead! Linden, you bastard! What are you doing! “Without bowing to the precious students over there!”
Even Linden and Hans made a fuss.
but,
“I clearly said I didn’t need it.”
“When that happens… !”
“Who on earth is in crisis?”
Everyone kept their mouths shut.
I spoke calmly.
“Everyone seems to be misunderstanding something. What kind of crisis is this? I am anti-Ecclesia. “To me, this is nothing.”
Everyone made bewildered faces.
It seemed like he thought I was bluffing.
‘Because the situation is definitely not good.’
There is only one week left.
It wasn’t easy to recruit 6 people, and even if 6 people were miraculously gathered, it wasn’t the end.
‘The number of 6 students is just the threshold for failure right around the corner. Ultimately, in order to remain as a professor at the Academy, you must rank first among temporary professors.’
In other words, in order to win first place, you had to recruit ‘at least’ 30 new students.
Because that was the number of students who flocked to Ballas, who was currently in the lead.
Although it was far away.
‘I’m a former sales king. ‘I’ve been through many situations worse than this.’
I have always achieved the best results even in the worst situations.
This time was no different.
“You don’t have to worry about me. So, please take this application back.”
“… … .”
“Go find professors who will help you, not me.”
Actually, I was grateful to both of them.
Because you put your heart into it for me.
Still, you have to distinguish between public life and life.
‘… No matter how thankful I am, I can’t be the professor in charge of the two-top Jinju artificial intelligence class.’
Above all, the two had to meet a professor who would really help them, not just a nylon like me.
“Catherine, Professor Karl of the Department of Knights will be a good fit for you. During the adjustment period, you can apply for classes regardless of your department. Otherwise, Sir Ian, a sword mage among the junior professors in the Faculty of Magic, would be a good fit.”
“… no.”
“… what?”
“There’s no need!”
Catherine screamed.
He glared at me with a bright red face.
“Actually, I applied not because I was worried about the professor, but because I just wanted to receive guidance from the professor, right? Do I really have to say this? “It’s annoying.”
“… … .”
I was speechless.
Beside him, Revel also muttered with dark eyes.
“Well, as I kept saying, I just applied because I liked the professor. so… Please don’t abandon me.”
