The second-year students have a new devil professor.

When you’re being harassed by Luke Bucklin.

“Sorry I’m late, guys.”

Elin used the portal to enter the classroom.

“Oh.”

“Space Magic… !”

The reaction that came back was similar to before.

Although it was less than the second-year students who had just entered the magic department.

It is a magical experience to see with your own eyes the magic that only two people on the continent can use.

“Um… Come to think of it, this isn’t a space magic class.”

“Yes?”

The student at the front asked back at Ellen’s monologue.

“Nothing.”

Elin shook her head.

He snapped his fingers and lifted the chalk into the air.

“Before it gets too late, let me introduce myself. My name is Elin… Berklin.”

Knock, knock.

I wrote it as Ber-, then erased it and rewrote it as Berklin.

Even though it’s a family that doesn’t have any good memories.

I’ve become too accustomed to a name I’ve used for nearly 20 years, and I can’t just throw it away overnight.

“You all know, right?”

The third graders nodded.

A decisive hero who saved the empire from demons.

There wasn’t a single student who didn’t attend the wedding held at the palace.

I felt smart when I received all the memories.

Elin is a great wizard who cannot be defined by words like genius.

It is something beyond human standards.

“Hmm… Then is there anything you would like to introduce?”

A large, stupid hair that flutters around without you knowing how.

A youthful appearance that doesn’t feel out of place even among students.

The cutest married professor in the empire who married a hero from another continent.

For undergraduate students who are dying day after day, caught up in grades and assignments, there is no better lecture than this.

Even though Ellen’s lecture was new, it was flooded with applicants.

In the end, the president personally stepped forward and selected excellent students who could follow the lectures.

So those sitting here couldn’t help but feel proud.

It’s not enough that you can receive lessons from the best wizard on the continent.

Because it’s proof that the academy has gathered the best people.

“Still, I want to hear about the professor.”

The student sitting in the front row raised his hand and asked a question.

The opportunity to talk to Ellen was truly precious.

Luke is an academy graduate, after all.

Elin had no way of reaching out to any of her connections.

So everyone who attended this lecture was desperate for the glorious opportunity to hear Ellen’s voice.

“About me…? Okay. That’s what OT does.”

Of course, Ellen didn’t care about the psychology of those students.

First of all, I wasn’t interested in how great of a wizard I was.

I had a strong desire to finish class quickly and go see Luke.

It wasn’t that I originally wanted to become a professor because I was interested in education.

I applied because I wanted to be by Luke’s side even just a little bit.

“First of all, I was the youngest princess of the now fallen Bertain family. I was not an illegitimate child, but I was abused every day.”

“What… .”

The students whose eyes had been sparkling stopped.

He asked me to tell him about the magical achievements I’ve made so far.

It was because I didn’t want to bring up Ellen’s painful past.

“I heard there’s a misunderstanding. I told my wife… Well, I didn’t first learn magic from Professor Luke.”

While the students were watching.

Ellen continued speaking calmly.

I remember reciting the book of magic while getting beaten until my calves burst.

And yet, I couldn’t use magic and was only able to eat cold potato crumbs.

I didn’t want to face tomorrow, so I spent every night recalling the magic I couldn’t use.

“Ugh, Ugh. Professor. We were wrong.”

The dark past continues endlessly.

The student who had asked the question bowed his head deeply.

“Huh? What is it?”

Elin blinked, not knowing what was wrong.

Still, I could read the students’ expressions, which had darkened significantly.

“What I wanted to say was that I wasn’t good at using magic from the beginning.”

“… ? But that wasn’t because of the curse… .”

“But then Professor Luke appeared in my life and everything changed.”

Ellen began to praise Luke naturally, as if she had said something good.

Teach me space magic.

Bring me a potion to suppress the curse.

In the end, he sacrificed himself to lift the curse… .

“How is it? Isn’t my husband amazing?”

“Yes… .”

The students just stared in amazement.

When I heard it, Luke’s contribution was really big.

If it weren’t for Luke’s concern and sacrifice, Elin would have quietly disappeared like the youngest of the previous Bertains.

We almost lost the greatest wizard in the empire in a ridiculous way.

“Huh… .”

Seeing that reaction, Ellen puffed out her chest with pride.

“So I’m going to teach you the magic that Professor Luke taught me this semester.”

“… … !”

A look of surprise appeared on the faces of the students who had been absentmindedly listening.

I was just listening to Elin’s story as it flowed.

It was a build-up to get here.

“I heard that OT is supposed to be short. So I’ll just give you one assignment and end here.”

“… … !!!”

Emotions more intense than before surged through the classroom.

What does it mean to be a third year student in the Faculty of Magic?

Decide which magical path you will walk.

It is a time when waves break and crash into the endless depths.

But, in a lecture given by the most beautiful and cute wizard on the continent.

“There is no separate test. You just need to do this one assignment properly.”

One assignment per semester.

Still, the academy life lasted three years.

The students haven’t let their guard down yet.

I was wondering if it was an incredibly difficult task that would require a lot of feedback.

Shu-

“You all know how to summon a mana sphere, right? You just have to keep it for a long time.”

“ and… … .”

The level of difficulty was similar to that of general knowledge.

Clap clap clap clap-

The students stood and applauded.

It was so believable that it was said to be a ceremony to bless the advent of a new angel professor.

“… ?”

However, Elin made her stupid hair into a question mark shape.

“Everyone. I’m not finished explaining it yet. Would you please sit down?”

“Yep!”

“Of course it should be!”

Students who show not only respect but also faith.

Ellen said, feeling slightly burdened.

“First, everyone, please summon a mana sphere. If there’s anyone who can’t, I’ll help you.”

Shu-

Mana spheres were immediately completed here and there.

A class where excellent students are carefully selected by the president.

Of course, there wasn’t a single student who couldn’t do this.

“Oh. Everyone is doing well.”

Elin, who didn’t know the level of the students, expressed her admiration.

I was going to start by teaching you how to extract mana.

It didn’t seem to be that bad.

“Haha. This is nothing special.”

“Is this really the end?”

The students tilted their heads.

Keep the mana sphere constant.

And everyone knows that if you keep it up for a long time, your mana control will improve.

But isn’t this too easy?

“Yes. Everyone, please keep the sphere on and don’t turn it off.”

“Do I just have to keep it until the end of this time?”

“? What are you talking about?”

This time it was Ellen’s turn to tilt her head.

“You said this was this semester’s assignment, right?”

“… Right?”

“But everyone is already doing so well. Then, please keep it up until the end of the semester.”

“… … Yes?”

Only then did the students realize something was wrong.

“Maintaining the mana sphere was the ultimate goal for this semester. But since everyone is already doing well, what… should we just maintain it like this?”

“That means… .”

The students made eye contact with each other.

“Are you saying I should keep it until the end of this semester…?”

“Yes.”

“Even when eating?”

“Yes.”

“… Even when you sleep?”

“Yes. If you don’t maintain it then it’s meaningless.”

Ellen shook her head decisively.

It was because he had the will to pass on what he had learned from Luke.

“By the way, there are no other tests or assignments, so if that mana sphere goes off, it’s an F.”

“Huh?!”

“I’ve memorized all of your sphere shapes now. If you mess them up, you’ll lose points, so do your best.”

A shocking statement that I could never have imagined.

“Professor, do you have any plans to increase the number of tests or assignments…?”

Students have experienced the bizarre situation of being asked to take different tests or assignments instead.

“There is no other mana control like this, so there won’t be any others.”

Elin nodded, saying it was obvious.

“Well, thank you all for your hard work. See you next time.”

He came down from the podium, waving his hand with a proud face.

“Ah, students with questions, please come to the lab separately.”

A quiet classroom where the professor has disappeared.

“I should have just pretended I couldn’t do it…!”

“I’m already falling apart… ?!”

The students were thrown into confusion.

I thought it was a lecture for eating raw fish.

It was the trap that required the most attention…!

“… Looking for someone to find the professor.”

“Let’s go quickly. This is a big grade, so we can’t fail…!”

I thought Ellen would really help though.

Sometimes, innocence can be the most terrifying evil of all.

A devil professor who hides an extremely evil task behind his cute appearance.

It was the day that Elin Bucklin’s name became widely known.
