Joanna gritted her teeth and used her magic again.
It was still the same.
“continue.”
“What you just implemented still doesn’t contain even 10% of the meaning of my star. again.”
She repeated it several times, but Joanna’s magic was just as bad.
However, Joanna was unable to disparage my star like before.
As I unfolded it over and over again, I came to feel it instinctively.
What is lacking is myself, not my star.
‘It’s cruel, but it can’t be helped. You definitely have to make yourself realize your shortcomings.’
If she is confused.
Unfortunately, there is only one way to help.
I had to admit my shortcomings as quickly and clearly as possible.
What I decided to do was help, I decided to do it perfectly.
“I guess it won’t work. “I’ll have another student unfold my star.”
I looked around the classroom.
The most secluded place.
A short boy wearing a hood as if to hide his face.
“The student sitting in the corner.”
“Um, you mean me?”
“Okay, you can come out and spread my star.”
… Before I knew it, Sto had been eavesdropping on my classes… No, it was Liebel, the audit student.
* * *
“Are you the beggar I saw during the entrance exam back then?”
Joanna wiggled her eyebrows.
Liebel looked at Joanna with a timid look on her face and mumbled.
“Oops, on the subject of those who were eliminated. “Keep your mouth shut.”
“!!”
“Well, a mean person like you doesn’t even deserve to take Professor Ban’s class.”
“How dare you… !”
“stop. “Please don’t make a fuss.”
I stopped the two and spoke to Revel.
“Level, did you understand my star correctly?”
“No, I couldn’t do it.”
“Hmm?”
“The meaning of the professor’s star was so deep that I couldn’t grasp it. sorry.”
Joanna snorted at Liebel’s answer.
“under? What nonsense? Don’t you have eyes to see? “What is depth?”
“sugar… “God said he was a loser.”
“!!”
Liebel made an unexpected suggestion.
“Can’t we have a duel instead of just a demonstration? “I want to instill respect for the professor in this poor dropout.”
I looked slightly embarrassed.
No matter how great Revel’s talent is, he is still only a 1st star. There was no way he would be a match for Joanna unless Revel brought out the ‘forbidden power’ he had hidden away.
but,
“Although… “I only realized it a little, but the professor’s star is so great that it is quite possible to make an example of that arrogant dropout.”
After thinking for a moment, I nodded.
I thought we would have something to gain from each other.
‘Ribel may not win, but it will at least shock Joanna.’
However, there was something I thought was a bit wrong.
It’s about Rebel’s talent.
“… I apologize for being rude to Professor Ban… do it.”
“under! Do not be ridiculous. “What about Professor Ban?”
“… “I didn’t even know about the topic that the professor was interested in.”
Rebel drew a star.
It was somewhat different from the star I drew.
Unlike Joanna, I wasn’t able to trace it perfectly.
but,
“you… Jealousy… I am flying. “I will not forgive you.”
I opened my eyes wide.
Puzzle!
The energy of the lightning was unusual.
Much more so than with Joanna.
More than I expected.
Suddenly, I remembered the line the ‘Demon King’ said to Libel in the scenario.
-The next era will not be mine, but this child’s era.
The One.
The talent of Revel, who was called the only one in heaven and earth, was awakened.
At the same time.
There was a flash of electricity.
Joanna unfolded the standard star of lightning with a pale face.
Perhaps because it felt threatened, it was a two-star star.
but,
“Look, look. And awe… do it. “This is the greatness of Professor Ban’s star.”
Libel’s lightning tore through Joanna’s lightning.

The evil rumors spread by Senin were completely put to rest.
This is thanks to Joanna’s recognition.
-Professor Ban’s magic is not an apostle.
However, perhaps because the shock was so great, Joanna announced the matter in writing without showing her face in person.
Afterwards, Joanna used the portal to immediately return to Amethyst Academy.
‘I can only hope that I overcome it well.’
However, Joanna left an unexpected gift behind, and before leaving, she made this bombshell statement.
-Senin, are you staying?
-… Your duty is not over yet, is it? Cheating must be eradicated for the rights and interests of Rubyness students… .
-Okay, do your best. You must have had a hard time meeting many people at night and spreading rumors.
-… Oh, princess?
-Oh, this was a secret, right? It’s true that I said that because you were unlucky in what you were doing. Then, try your best.
Afterwards, Senin suffered the full ramifications.
In particular, Yulia worked behind the scenes and turned Senin into the world’s killer.
Not only did Senin make mistakes, but he also made up things he did not commit.
‘… Usually, Yulia is better at things like this. Rumors will have spread to Julia’s resourceful prize, Amethyst, so it will be hard for her to return.’
Actually, I didn’t have any hard feelings towards Senin.
Because I know what Senin will experience sooner or later.
‘Like all sub-main characters, I experience great frustration.’
There are a total of three sub-main protagonists that we have encountered so far.
Joanna, Senin, is Tern of the swordsmanship master.
If the word symbolizing the ‘main protagonists’ is ‘the hero’s path,’ the ‘sub-main protagonists’ are ‘frustration and adversity.’
Everyone falls to the floor without exception.
‘Anyway, thanks to what Senin and Joanna did, the students’ trust in me deepened.’
I looked satisfied as I looked into the eyes of the students sitting in the classroom.
It was completely different from before.
‘It’s because of the rumor that she is the star who defeated the princess of the famous magic family.’

I slowly thought I could move on to the next step.
I had a plan to make my course shine perfectly.
“Do you know that there will be a joint contest between classes 1 and 2 next week?”
“Yeah, I know!”
A louder answer than before.
“Yes, you also know that joint competitions are just as important to your grades as exams, right?”
As soon as the topic of s*x came up, the atmosphere quickly became somber.
‘Because the joint contest is as difficult a gateway as the exam. Especially this ＜Understanding the Basics of Magic＞ course.’
Imperial Academy education avoids living knowledge that can be actually used, not dead knowledge.
So, there were a lot of all kinds of practices and events.
All subjects with acceptable grades require a practical evaluation, but the problem is the specificity of this ＜Understanding the Basics of Magic＞ course.
‘The majority of kids can’t use magic, so how do you evaluate their skills?’
Because of the Ministry of Education’s guidelines to emphasize practical evaluation, the ‘contest’ was created as an alternative.
The content learned in the course is presented in the form of a contest.
‘Usually, in groups, students from the magic department demonstrate magic, the knight and auxiliary departments teach countermeasures against magic, and the liberal arts departments make academic presentations on magic and social phenomena.’
“Have you all planned out what kind of presentation you will make?”
“that is… I didn’t learn anything other than linear theory… .”
“what is the problem? “Why not prepare for a presentation using linear theory?”
“Isn’t it impossible for other faculties to use magic? If possible, I would definitely arrange a magic demonstration.”
The students looked aggrieved.
For reference, the one that received the highest score during the contest was the magic demonstration.
Students from other departments protest every year, but this unfairness is also the same in courses such as ＜Understanding the Basics of Swordsmanship＞, which are common classes in other departments, and no improvement has been made.
“possible.”
“… yes?”
“Everyone here can use magic, whether they are in the magic department or not.”
“!!”
Everyone made puzzled faces.
It was natural.
To use magic, you need not only an understanding of the stars, but also the talent of a wizard.
but,
“Do you remember what I said on the first day? I said I would make you understand magic. “It did not simply mean that it would help us understand lines, dots, and stars.”
I looked straight at everyone.
“I will allow you all to experience magic and understand for yourself what magic is. “If you trust me and follow me, it is possible.”
* * *
Everyone responded that it was ridiculous.
Because it is impossible for someone without talent as a wizard to use magic unless a miracle occurs.
but.
-I am anti-Ecclesia. In my legendary journey, it is a very trivial thing to cause such a miracle.
The Black Flame Dragon calmed the students’ distrust.
I guess I’ve become shameless now, but I felt like I was getting used to the Black Flame Dragon’s treatment.
‘We need to increase the level of joint competition.’
Even if you create a ‘miracle’, it is meaningless if no one sees it.
‘It’s a miracle that makes no sense according to common sense, so there will be many people who don’t want to admit it.’
So I came up with a way.
“Hello, Professor Ban! I’m a reporter for Gossip Daily! Thank you for having me!”
“So, did you listen to my suggestion?”
“of course! “I will record and report in detail every detail of the miracle that Professor Ban will perform on the day of the joint contest!”
That wasn’t all.
I also sent invitations to people involved in the Academy.
It was not a formal invitation.
attracted aggro.
-On that day, everyone in the academy will find out who the truly great professor is.
A declaration aimed at Baron Aiden, the Apes.
For the highest score on the course, I will use Baron Aiden as the scapegoat that day.
‘This time, the ‘disaster’ that happened in the scenario will not occur, and the preparations are perfect.’
* * *
The spark ignited by the class shook the academy.
The joint contest for essential basic subjects, which no one would normally be interested in, suddenly became a central topic of the academy.
“What on earth are you trying to do, Professor Ban?”
“I don’t know. I don’t think the kids in class 2 know what they’re preparing for either? “I’m just practicing something I don’t understand.”
“I heard they will allow students from other departments to use magic too?”
“Oh, no way. “How could such a ridiculous thing be possible?”
The atmosphere was somewhat different from before.
It’s not like there aren’t people who blindly ignore and disparage it. indeed? There were many people who showed this curiosity.
On the other hand, there were some who reacted particularly sensitively to Ban’s actions.
“The Duke is greatly disappointed, Baron Aiden.”
“hahahaha. what do you mean? Even so, it’s just a half-baby. To me, an Apeser… .”
“baron.”
The butler lowered his voice.
The previous polite attitude has disappeared.
“The reason Duke Rafalte invested in you was not to see you like this.”
“!!”
“If you don’t want to cough up the various support benefits and research funds you’ve received so far, be sure to overwhelm Professor Ban during this joint contest.”
Baron Aiden’s complexion turned white.
If that happens, he goes bankrupt.
“Well, that’s… No, please leave it to me. “I will definitely bring this guy to his knees.”
“How do you mean?”
Baron Aiden bit his lip.
“what… “I will write a sura.”
The answer seems to be something unusual.
