98 – The new professor applicant in question
Sunday, the veranda of Meyer’s tile-roofed house.
Evan was sitting across from Mayer, discussing the sword.
The theme is Sapa, the barbarian queen.
“Sapa’s sword hides the sun. So, does Sapa become weaker when the sun is present?”
Mayer raises a topic.
Mayer and Evan chose the barbarian queen as their topic because they experienced it last year.
“It doesn’t make you weak. Even with just the sunlight, Queen Sapa’s chill cannot be weakened. However, hiding the sun… For the Queen to make her power stronger. “Without the sun’s light, it gets colder faster.”
If there is no light in the world, the temperature drops at a rapid rate.
The coldest region in the empire has an average winter temperature of -70 degrees Celsius.
If all light is blocked, the temperature exceeds -150 degrees Celsius.
This is the result of Evan’s internal testing.
“Sapa harnesses the power of nature.”
“Then, when dealing with Sapa, it is correct to prevent the sun from being hidden, right?”
“Yes.”
We have to stop the queen from becoming stronger.
The sun must be visible.
Mayer nodded and lifted her teacup.
The two reached an agreement.
Mayer did not drink her tea, but sighed.
“…… Ha.”
“? “What are you worried about?”
In the past, Evan would have ignored whatever reaction Mayer gave him.
I’ve been looking around recently, so Evan asked about Mayer’s reaction.
Mayer is feeling worried.
Mayer spoke out weakly.
“Huh… “It’s because of the new professor who will be joining us this time.”
New professor.
This is the position of Mika, who was suspended during last year’s rating competition.
To be exact, a new professor has not been selected yet.
There are only candidates.
One of the candidates was a problem.
“‘Dante de Florence’, a typical figure of the second prince faction.”
Mayer put the teacup on the teacup stand and made a pained expression.
Dante.
The second child of the Florence family and the master of the empire.
Since he is one of the few masters in the empire, his skills are certain.
The problem is that the 2nd Prince faction he belongs to is politically extreme.
“Whoa…” … Recently, the movements of 2nd Prince Charlie… “It’s disturbing.”
Second Prince Charlie is gathering troops in the frontier.
The scale was so enormous that the Sword Saint Mayer noticed her.
What will happen when the current Emperor EA III passes away? ….
“That’s why Dean Noah is reluctant to play Dante.”
“Isn’t it okay if I don’t accept it from the academy?”
“To do that… Dean Noah is an adult of the imperial family. If you reject Dante, the 2nd Prince’s confidant, the 2nd Prince will become hostile towards the Academy. “Unless there is a big reason.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“I need a reason to kick you out.”
“Yes, so I’m looking for someone who can beat Dante if possible… ….”
It doesn’t seem easy.
Mayer sighs as she sighs.
It’s complicated.
Evan drank the chamomile tea in his teacup.
“We are still in the process of hiring new professors. Until then, if we find a way to kick Dante out…… !”
Mayer’s body trembled and his will burned.

A testing center for new professors to fill Mika’s vacancy.
In the training room of the professor’s research building, there is Vice Dean Asher sitting in a chair.
Applicants are giving a test lecture in front.
Whoosh! Hiss! Shhh!
An applicant who quickly demonstrates basic swordsmanship.
The man exhaled after showing a powerful sword strike.
“Whoa…” “Students, you can just follow the swordsmanship I showed you just now.”
There are no students in front.
A man who teaches as if there were real students in front of him.
Asher was disappointed.
‘It’s not bad, but… ‘Too much force was used.’
The class shown by the man is rat poison for students who are characterized by quick inspection.
I swung the sword too strongly…….
A professor must be able to encompass all students.
Asher thought about it and looked at the next applicant.
I feel cool.
“…… Next.”
“Dante de Florence.”
Dante, with a slim physique and short hair, came forward.
Dante takes a stance with a short speech.
Soon his sword moved.
Whoosh! Hiss… Whoosh.
A neat basic swordsmanship with nothing more or less.
Dante unfolded it leisurely and then spoke to the virtual students.
“Those with a slow sword must aim for the exact hitting point, and those with a fast sword must know how to change the hitting point at the moment. Study and use the swordsmanship I showed you in your own way.”
‘…… ‘Tsk.’
Asher bit his lip.
A flexible teaching method that anyone can see.
It makes Asher feel better about what he was feeling sad about.
The problem is that the person mentioned is Dante of the 2nd prince faction.
Dante smiled slightly.
‘You will have no choice but to attach me.’
Those gathered here are below Dante.
Dante recalled the past.
A month ago.
The western border of the empire.
Imperial Army Field Barracks.
Second Prince Charlie Innin Ishtar sitting on a chair while looking at a large magic screen.
Dante was kneeling behind him on one knee.
Because Dante responded to Charlie’s call.
Charlie turned around and said.
“Recently, a hole has appeared in Charles Academy.”
A professor named Mika hurt a student during last year’s grading competition.
Because of this, Mika was suspended.
Charles Academy recruited a new professor.
Charlie was thinking of planting her own henchman in this place.
“There are a lot of talented people at Charles Academy, so I always wanted to recruit them in advance… “The little old man interfered.”
Little grandfather, Dean Noah.
Charlie knew that Noah was wary of Charlie.
“That’s okay. “At this point, I need to sow my seeds properly at Charles Academy.”
Charlie snorted at her and ordered Dante.
“Sir Dante, you go to Charles Academy. He went and became a professor. “If it were you, you would reject all the professor applicants.”
“…… “I will do as you command.”
Master Dante bows his head and obeys.
Charlie turned around and frowned at her.
Charlie’s wriggling facial scars.
“And… ….”
Charlie thought of a newcomer who had recently been rumored.
The one who killed two dragons and blocked the barbarian queen’s blow.
As far as I know, it was Evan, known as the knight of the 3rd princess.
“Make a recruitment offer to Sir Evan. No matter how you look at it, Sir Evan looks like moonlight… It’s been a long time since Moonlight has been active, so I’m not sure. Anyway… “All you have to do is make her understand that there is no benefit to her as Cornelia’s knight.”
Charlie was confident.
He is the one who will become the emperor in the future.
Although he was not appointed, Charlie was planning to become emperor somehow.
So, shouldn’t a talented person like Evan play in big waters?
Even if he couldn’t recruit Evan, the second prince didn’t think he would regret it. He has already made nearly 30% of the empire’s masters loyal. Charlie didn’t necessarily have to recruit Evan.

Mika, wearing a hood, glared at her professor’s research wing.
Mika was suspended for one year.
Originally, Mika would have returned to his hometown, but he came to the academy.
There are rumors going around at the academy that they are hiring a new professor.
‘…… ‘Someone is coming from there to replace me?’
Mika was angry.
If she hadn’t made a mistake, this wouldn’t have happened.
Mika bit her lip.
Currently, new professors hired at the academy are on one-year contracts.
It just matched the period of Mika’s suspension.
After a year, her position will return to Mika.
If this one-year contract professor is very capable and her professor evaluation is better than Mika’s…… You can take Mika’s place.
In other words, Mika’s position may never return.
Based on the grades of this contract professor.
It hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Mika was heartbroken by the possibility, and she came to the academy.
A feeling of resentment.
‘Originally…… ‘It’s my place!’
Mika’s original family, Count Soseo, was also famous for his bad temper.
Passing by employees recognized Mika and started whispering.
“That… “Isn’t that Professor Mika?”
“Wow, hey. Hey. “Before grading.”
Employees showing surprise and caution.
Mika winced and put on her hooded hat.
Mika’s resentment hides behind her shame.
“Ah… The research building is hiring a new professor? That’s why Professor Mika ‘Jeon’ came…… ?”
“I guess I’m worried. She’s afraid that her spot will be taken away. “Then you can figure it out better.”
“Hey, that’s harsh. “Cook, cluck.”
A flood of abusive remarks.
Mika wanted to cover her ears.
I’m not the type of person to listen to such things…….
It felt like her knife was in front of her throat.
Mika felt ashamed and in danger, and she disappeared as if running away.

Evan’s mansion.
Evan sat on the living room sofa and thought.
‘The second prince’s confidant, Dantera.’
When Evan descended from her previous life, she was dead.
When Evan originally came down, it was some time after the civil war ended.
‘No matter what, the Academy should not be caught up in politics.’
Only in this way is Evan’s peaceful training life possible.
‘The second prince’s henchman should be kicked out of the academy.’
Evan made his decision.
It is inevitable that a civil war will break out in the future.
For now, I want to be guaranteed a peaceful training environment.
-Boo.
Maya in Evan’s arms.
Maya has been hanging out with Evan every chance she gets since the eve.
Maya, with her back against Evan’s stomach, tilted her head and looked up at Evan.
-Master, do you have something to do?
“Yes.”
Kick out Dante.
Evan could not forgive all the elements that interfered with his training.
-If you have anything to do, please tell Maya!
Maya makes a strange sound.
Evan felt secure in Maya’s now familiar body.
Maya has been sticking around a lot lately.
I feel burdened, but my anger subsides.
Feeling stable.
Evan stroked Maya’s head, feeling warm emotions.
“Don’t just accept my heart.”
Evan can do this alone.
