‘… ‘What’s wrong with them?’
I got scared and tried to comfort them again,
“I’ve already made up my mind, right? So, stop worrying about me. “It doesn’t matter if the class doesn’t run properly because there are too few applicants.”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m fine too. “I would rather spend time with a professor as a close friend with a small number of people.”
‘… No, I’m not worried about you.’
I opened my mouth.
It looks like persuasion isn’t working.
Please note that students have the power to choose classes. So, in principle, the professor could not refuse the student’s choice.
‘… ‘Is this okay?’
I looked up at the sky.
I felt like my life as a professor, which was full of dreams and hopes, was going wrong from the first step.
– Kuyu.
As if to comfort me on such a day, a baby dragon popped out of the magic bag and rubbed its cheek against me.
‘… ‘Are you one of my worries too?’
Catherine asked if she misunderstood my sigh.
“But are you really okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“If things continue like this, we are in danger of being kicked out. Let’s try to fill only 6 people somehow. “I will do the rest with my daily wages.”
“I, too, will do my best. Well, of course, I prefer being alone with the professor like this, but… .”
I quietly watched them worry about me and then burst into laughter.
“No need to worry. “The current situation is not necessarily bad.”
There was no other reason why I was a former sales tycoon.
I tried to look at the positive side of any adverse situation.
‘It’s the worst bottom, so a twist can make a much stronger impression. Therefore, it is more advantageous to hit the jackpot.’
I thought of a specific method.
‘You just have to have an accident.’
A word that would make someone startle when they hear it.
I meant it.
However, it wasn’t just an accident.
Big thinking was needed.
Finally, there was a way that would be a win-win for everyone.
I looked straight at the two and said.
“You two. “Don’t you need money?”
“… Why is that suddenly?”
“I’m asking this because I’m the advisor.”
“What are you looking at me for? Even though I look like this, I’m the daughter of a duke?”
“So, how much living expenses are left?”
“… There’s a week left. “If I sell the accessories I stole from the family in advance, I will be able to survive a little longer.”
As expected, Catherine had lost support from the dukedom due to the duchess’s actions.
As for Rebel, there was nothing to say.
The growling sound from my stomach made me wonder if I was eating properly right away.
‘There is a way. ‘It solves their poverty and solves my student selection problem.’
“Well, I’m fine. “I’m used to starving anyway, so eating just one meal a day is enough, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Can you please not mind me too? “I will take care of money matters.”
I shook my head.
I didn’t mean to provide financial support.
Even if I want to, I can’t. Because I was a b*tch too.
“Would you guys like to get a part-time job?”
“… “Part-time job?”
The two perked up their ears.
It was not easy for a first-year freshman to get a part-time job opportunity.
“Okay, it won’t be that hard if you just do what I tell you.”
And that was after listening to my explanation.
Catherine jumped up from her seat.
“What nonsense?! How do we do such dangerous work?!”
The part-time job I was talking about was submerging underground waterways.
This is something that even most adventurers cannot dare to do.
but.
“You can do it as long as you do what I tell you. “Because I am anti-Ecclesia.”
“!!”
“I’m disappointed that you’re scared of something like this. Catherine, didn’t you enter the academy with the intention of striking a blow to the family?”
Catherine bit her lip.
I said, looking straight at her and Revel.
Sincerely.
“You have chosen this anti-ekklesia. Trust me, you will not regret your choice. Although it is only a short period of two months, I will lead you to the best during that period.”
The most effective marketing.
It was viral.
I planned to become a professor who wanted everyone to be guided by the two people who chose me to become the best.
* * *
next day.
A letter arrived at the academy.
Surprisingly, it was a letter of appreciation from the city guard.
-Your academy’s Catherine and Libel students defeated the monsters in the underground waterway and sent a letter of appreciation.
Everyone was surprised.
“No, if it’s an underground waterway, it’s Lv. “Isn’t this a place where three monsters appear?”
“It’s a daunting place even for upperclassmen, isn’t it? Even if the two of you were the head or second head of the magic department?”
The reason was quickly revealed.
“That day, Banle… No, there was someone who saw Professor Ban enter the underground waterway with the two of you!”
“Then, it’s thanks to Professor Ban?”
I simply answered people’s questions.
“You two are my students. “It was just a special training session before the actual classes started.”
“!!”
“What a pity. There are only two people who can receive my special teachings. I can’t help it. “It is only your luck that you were blinded by prejudice and missed the teachings of a professor who would become a legend.”
… The Black Flame Dragon suddenly intervened at the end, but the people’s reaction was not bad.
Everyone looked at me with eyes full of shock and confusion.
‘This is just the beginning.’
I continued my ‘special training’ one after another.
-A certificate of appreciation for exterminating ghosts in the city cemetery.
-A certificate of appreciation for resolving the curse of abandoned houses in poor district 5.
In just a few days, more than three problems in the city were solved, and a special appreciation plaque was even handed out in the name of the security guard.
“Were the rumors about Professor Ban really true?”
“Then, is it true that Professor Ban destroyed Professor Ballas’ theory during training?”
“There is a story that Professor Ban is a legendary genius. Of course, it was a story told in a gossip magazine.”
“… Did we decide on an advisor too hastily?”
The students murmured.
It was all as intended.
‘It hasn’t been decided yet, but I’m receiving inquiries about applying for one or two people. If we keep the momentum like this, we’ll be fine.’
And there was another side benefit.
I received an appreciation plaque and received an additional reward, making more money than expected.
‘I wish I could gulp it down.’
I decided to look to the future and ‘invest’.
“Kyo, Professor, why are you here? “Do I need clothes like this?”
“I don’t need new clothes either.”
The place I headed to was a clothing store.
When I saw the new clothes, I spoke to the two who were disgusted as if they had an allergic reaction.
“Don’t be mistaken. “This is for me, not you.”
“… “For the professor?”
“Yes, I am only doing this because my honor cannot allow you, my students, to behave in an unseemly manner.”
These were not empty words.
Wouldn’t it be more effective for publicity if the two of you travel comfortably?
‘Not to mention Rivelle, Catherine is also in a shabby state. Even though he was an illegitimate child, what kind of discrimination was so blatant?’
But, I missed it.
“… I said I didn’t need it. “What did you say?”
“… “I will never forget this grace.”
I only bought them some ordinary clothes, but both of them looked extremely touched.
‘It must be the first time for both of you to receive a gift like this.’
I cleared my throat.
It feels like something dug its own grave, but that’s what happened.
‘Anyway, this is only a two-month adjustment period for new students.’
Still, he said it coldly so as to draw a line at least a little.
I’m especially worried about Revel more than Catherine.
“Level, you need to care about your appearance. “No matter what you are inside, if your outside is shabby, people will ignore you and treat you poorly.”
In fact, this is something that Libel will experience many times in the future.
‘The problem is that Revel is not a very nice person either.’
No, in fact, he had a more dangerous personality than anyone else.
Although I was pretending to be calm, I didn’t know when or how it would explode and cause a major accident.
“You are a commoner. There is no one in this academy lower than you. “If a fight breaks out, don’t just fight back, but instead look for me.”
“… Okay, thank you.”
“I’m not doing it for you, I’m just doing it because I’m in trouble if you have a problem.”
“Thank you more, more.”
I know the professor’s sincerity. I frowned at his face like this.
Anyway, although there was a side effect of becoming closer to the two, the selection of student advisors went smoothly.
‘Now all I have to do is deliver one decisive blow.’
I expected Kansir and Balas to get impatient and start a fight with me.
At that time, trampling on them would have been the completion of the Hwaryong climax.
‘But, you both are quieter than I thought. Should I deliberately provoke him?’
It was a time when I was thinking about it.
An unexpected problem arose.
An invitation letter arrived.
-Tea time invitation.
The problem was who sent the invitation.
-Sent by the mayor of the Free City.
I stiffened my face.
‘Why this person?’
It wasn’t just because he was a high-ranking person.
The mayor of the Free City was a person with a deep connection to ‘Van.’
And that too due to a difficult relationship.
‘Banregi’s natural enemy’.
That was the nickname of the mayor of the Free City.

Meanwhile, in the main family of the famous magic family,
-Wow!!
A loud slap rang out.
Surprisingly, the person who was slapped was Ballas, Rubines’ renowned new professor.
In front of me was Duchess Bess, the hostess of a famous magic family, giving me a cold look.
Balas quickly knelt down.
“I’m sorry, ma’am! Even though the training did not meet my expectations, from now on I will do my best… .”
“Shut up.”
Ballas’ complexion turned white at the cold weather.
“You only have one chance from now on. If you disappoint me further, there will be no place for you in the world of magic. “I will ban you from returning from the remote areas of the south for the rest of your life.”
It wasn’t just a threat.
The duchess in front of me actually did just that.
In fact, there were countless people who fell into disrepair or had their lives ruined after falling out of favor with her.
“… “I will keep that in mind.”
After Ballas retreated with a heavy complexion, wow! A loud sound rang out.
“Ahhhhh! Damn it! Catherine b*tch and a half!!”
As soon as Catherine entered the school, the news that she was making a mark at Rubinaes upset her like crazy.
Unfortunately, Joanna, the daughter she gave birth to due to a stomachache, was not doing much after entering school, perhaps due to a recent slump.
‘This is all because of him.’
This was when Duchess Bess was gritting her teeth.
“Oh dear. “Wouldn’t your fair skin get damaged if you got angry, sister?”
A middle-aged man appeared.
“Catherine, is it because of that child again? Didn’t I actually say that I should remove it? Should I take care of it now?”
The man grinned.
It was a smile full of dangerous energy.
“If that means killing, will I at least pluck out that child’s cheeky eyeballs? Just like you often did in the past when you were a ‘witch of cruelty’ in the Abyss.”
