Episode 110
33. Back to the School (2)
“thank you for your effort!”
Simultaneously with the shout to announce the end of class, we quickly left the classroom with the bags we had packed in advance.
To be honest, it would be sad to say that Elka did not reach Dalian, but even that barbarian was nothing compared to the obsession of the Tarkans.
At least he doesn’t force it. If you say no, you’ll walk away cleanly.
just as expected.
The guys who had been waiting for the class to end started yelling and chasing after them.
“Baeksanwoo! Where are you going! Didn’t you say you were going to fight!!”
“Run! Run!!”
If you get caught, it’s game over.

Me and George ran all the way down the hallway.I finally managed to catch my breath after leaving the faculty building and hiding in the trail formed in the back.
“Heh… heh heh…”
“Why are they doing that!?”
“It’s all because of you!!”
Yesterday George said he had a very terrible time. It was said that he was squeezed by the Tarkans until they ran out of energy.
Ooh, ooh!
But I didn’t envy or want to experience it.
“How inflated your rumors are, now you’re being evaluated as a hidden power that’s almost comparable to Byron!”
“Evande…”
Even Aidan, who has grown up properly, is being pushed back by pure melee combat.
Not only the 2nd year, but also the 3rd year, when I have the ability to compete with Byron, is it fair to say that I already caught up with Byron?
“But how many people did you win yesterday?”
“4 out of 3 wins and 1 loss. I lost to the bear.”
“After all, you’re a gangster in your weight class. That’s why I’m sticking with you too. I’m envious~!”
I said, remembering George who had been surrounded by desert foxes and rabbits Tarkan since morning.
“Crazy, what do you envy? I think I’m going to die. And if I find out about this…!”
“If you get caught? Who will you find out?”
“ah…….”
Perhaps it was a mistake, George whose pupils were shaking like crazy.
“Are you finally dating him?”
“No, we’re not dating… we just see each other every day.”
“Um memme! It’s soom, it’s soum!!”
“Sum…?”
I shuddered and slapped George on the shoulder.
“ah!!”
George wipes the area he was hit and puts on a sad expression.
“Why hit me again!”
“Hey, good luck. I won’t say anything else. Next spring, it’s supposed to be pink, isn’t it?”
“Then Sanu, you too, Camilla, Illyana-senpai? You just have to decide!”
“What are you talking about? Are you going to shoot two people with guns or really spears? Will Illyana pour hydrochloric acid?”
It’s just bittersweet for me, knowing all too well that it’s a dream that won’t come true.
I got up from my seat, shaking my knees.
“Now, it seems that all the pursuit has disappeared… Let’s get out of here. Are you going to Ortana?”
“Uh, you?”
“I have to go to Arin. I have to schedule a double major.”
I took out the business card that Professor Kehlin had given me since morning from my pocket and looked at it.
Professor Helen Merses of Arin Faculty.
‘By the way, the professors really don’t know anything. I’ll take a proper class at least once.’
Originally, the title of deceased is a title given to those who not only master the game, but also use time to the limit.
Is it possible that I would have taken the classes one by one?
Even though Bled was the professor in charge at the time of the first play.
I can’t remember the names of people like Kehlin or Professor Helen.
“Then let’s break up here. See you tomorrow.”
“George’s love front, nothing more than that! I wish you all the best!”
“Useless words.”
Even so, the boy smiled mischievously, as if he wasn’t in a bad mood.
It’s a good time, it’s a good time
I also hope that my side doesn’t get cold at the beginning of next semester… … .
Enjoying cherry blossom viewing alone in a park where pink cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Yep, I can’t.
“Is spring that good, you idiots…”
Winter hasn’t come yet.
I grabbed my already aching heart and muttered a sad song.
* * *
Professor Helen Merses’s office was located in the very corner of the faculty.
Unlike the Arthur Faculty’s building, which is close to the fortress, the Arrin Faculty’s building feels like a huge mansion wrapped in a forest.

Maybe that’s why, even the walls that were in contact were covered with vine-like parasitic plants.‘The air must be clear.’
I grabbed the log doorknob and shouted out loud.
“Professor Helen Merces! It’s Baeksanwoo! I came here on the recommendation of Professor Kehlin!”
Then a faint voice came from inside. It feels like something is burying my face in a blanket.
“come in.”
I ignored it and opened the door to the professor’s room.
Wedge-!!!
In that momentary moment, I felt a murderous intent that made my nerves stand up.
flash! Using the power of Lioner, he snatched the arrow that flew in front of him.
To be precise, it wasn’t an arrowhead made of iron on the tail, but a toy arrow with rubber.
As I was about to panic at the sudden threat, something protruding from the side of the desk wriggled.
‘I’m sorry, is that a quilt… … ?’
And from within the lump of cotton, someone’s face pops out.
“Nerves are not bad. Professor Kehlin recommends it.”
She was a woman with frizzy hair, as if she had not washed it for two days, and her expression on her face as if she had gathered all the troubles in the world.
Even though Illyana doesn’t go anywhere with her indifference, she can’t be compared to her.
‘Is this the professor?’
It was a natural question.
Upon closer inspection, the environment was more chaotic than any professor’s office I had ever seen.
First of all, a luxurious bed is placed on one side of the professor’s room.
Next to it was a magic communicator, which seemed to make it possible to receive calls even while lying down.
That’s not all.
When you become an associate professor in a department, an assistant professor is usually attached to you.
There was not even a space for an assistant professor to work in this office.
‘I just made a living.’
I glanced back and checked the nameplate on the door.
[Arin Undergraduate Intermediate Class]
[Professor Helen Merses]
Quite frankly, it wasn’t a professor’s room, but it was in a state to the extent that it was believed that it was Hikigomori’s room.
I can’t even open my mouth in an unacceptable situation.
“You can go now. I’m going to take a nap, so I almost died of drowsiness waiting for you to come.”
Professor Helen, who went into the blanket, squirmed and changed her posture. It is the image of an incorruptible delinquent.
“Aren’t you going to class? It’s still mid-sky…”
“Today, class is over. Oh, and the timetable papers are next to me, so you can take them with you.”
“Kyo, Professor? What are you doing right now…”
There was no reply from Helen. Instead, the duvet she had entered inflated at regular intervals and only repeated shrinking again.
‘Are you really just sleeping? really?’
As I approached the bed with a hopeful mind, there was Professor Helen, who was asleep, hugging the blanket to the fullest.
It was amazing to be able to get a good night’s sleep in a matter of seconds, but it was just as surprising that such a person was a professor.
I decided it would be a waste of time to talk more, so I grabbed the timetable on the desk as Helen had told me.
“Introduction to ballistics and the operation and use of automatic crossbows…”
As it is a double major, the number of credits required for graduation is small, so it can be seen that it is rather spacious.
‘The timetable is excellent, but the problem is the professor.’
The class assigned to the Arin Faculty, chosen as a double major, is the intermediate class.
It was natural. Arthur’s advanced class is also a bit difficult, but if Arin was assigned to the advanced class, it would have been at a level I couldn’t handle.
However, I did not know that the professor in charge of the intermediate class would be this far.
Irresponsible, annoying, and unmotivated. Even for an eccentric professor, he doesn’t seem to have a high ego.
Rather, Bled felt like a fairy. No, wouldn’t Bled be a pretty good professor?
The reason I was able to grow this far was because of Bled’s ball.
‘From the first impression, this is the first time I’ve ever been a professor. What do you think about this?’
You can’t really go to the night, can you?
I looked at the professor who was sleeping comfortably in the world for a moment, and then just left the professor’s room.
It was at that time when I was going down the stairs with complicated thoughts in many ways.
“Huh!? Sanwoo-sama! What’s going on in Arin’s school?”
Downstairs, a friendly face was waving his hand.
“Oh! Taehoon! Is class over now?”
“Yeah, I had some replenishment today. I’m just going for a late lunch.”
After all, if Taehoon does it, isn’t it a meal?
It looked like he was going to find his daily bread every day.

Maybe that’s why, but when I’m with Taehoon, I feel a hunger that I never felt before.“If you haven’t eaten…”
I answered before Taehoon finished speaking.
“Let’s go eat together.”
* * *
“I haven’t been to other faculties, so I don’t know, but Arin’s academics are pretty good.”
“Yeah? Arthur only served chicken breast and salad.”
Boiled chicken breast, even without seasoning.
Helchang for bulking up and getting fit. Typically, children like Elka liked it as a paradise on earth, but for me, it couldn’t be more hell.
How can a person only eat chicken breasts and fillets?
Besides, I am not particularly envious of a muscular, muscular body like Elka.
I ate when I went out and ate, but I never ate learning.
“But… oh? It’s really not that bad, is it?”
The view of the student cafeteria that I went into for the first time in my life was pretty good.
It feels like you are in a luxurious wooden restaurant.
“Wow, there are places like this. After all, Kim Tae-hoon’s pick is certain.”
When I stand up, Tae-hoon scratching his head and feeling proud.
“But it’s definitely late, so there aren’t many people.”
“Everyone went to eat early.”
“Yeah? But you said you took supplementary classes, did you do it alone? Any other mates?”
“No, that’s not it. I think he’s going to eat outside of school.”
“Oh yeah?”
Tae-hoon spoke lightly, but I felt an indescribable fight.

Maybe it’s just a feeling… … ?Anyway, we found a suitable seat in the restaurant and sat down.
Arin’s student cafeteria offers different food every day of the week, so today was pilaf, a traditional Western-style fried rice.
It’s just delicious food, that’s all.
After satisfying some hunger, Taehoon opened his mouth.
“You haven’t taken Arin’s class yet, have you?”
“Yes. I received the timetable today.”
“Are you in the senior class?”
Taehoon and Soyoung were in the advanced class of Arin. I think it would be more comfortable to live in an upper class with acquaintances.
There’s no reason to go to an advanced class for that.
As I shook my head, Taehoon’s expression, which looked somewhat happy, softened slightly.
“Well, it’s because you originally wanted to go to the intermediate class.”
“First of all, it’s a freshman year. When I’m in my second year, I’m going to go to an advanced class.”
“Then, who is the professor in charge?”
“I heard it’s Professor Helen Merces.”
“ah…….”
Taehoon made a complicated expression in many ways. I think I know why you’re reacting like that.
“I saw him for the first time today, too, and he said he was a strange person.”
“Arin is famous for being a geeky professor. Normally, the higher you take a class, the higher your status as a professor. He doesn’t care about that.”
‘I dropped it in the professor’s room, but isn’t it funny that I’m interested in professor evaluations or internal promotions… … ?’
I recalled Helen’s office that I had witnessed firsthand.
Well, no matter how bad the professor is, is it a double major?
As I knew to some extent the mechanics and skills of archery taught by Arin, it seemed that there was no need to worry too much about one professor.
“I thought so.”
I nodded towards Tae-hoon, who was spreading rumors about Helen.
“But it’s a bit strange. This year, no one applied to move from the intermediate to the advanced class.”
“This year too? Does that mean last year too?”
“Yes, no matter how good the professor is, at least one person is enough to move up to the upper class…. Last year, there were no students whose classes were readjusted in the second semester.”
“It’s strange.”
Rather, the more strange the professor, the higher the students’ desire for class transfer.
Who would want to continue taking classes from a strange professor?
‘He was also recommended by Professor Kehlin. He probably wouldn’t have told you to f*ck me.’
While I was in my thoughts for a moment.
Tae-hoon talked nonstop whether it was interesting that I was interested in his story.
“But when I think about it… it seems that Linell-senpai didn’t give a bad evaluation.”
“Lineel? If you’re talking about Linel, you’re talking about the dragon rider who won the triad?”
“Yes, that’s right. The last time we talked for a while, you said that you have a lot to learn from.”
As soon as I heard that, I had a gut feeling that Helen was an unusual person.
Didn’t they say that there’s no way smoke can’t blow out of the chimney? There must have been a reason for these rumors to circulate.
I’m a double major, so I don’t plan on taking it lightly just because I’m in the intermediate class.
If you can acquire know-how as an archer, you must use it thoroughly.
‘Maybe I met Gein, who I didn’t even think of?’
