“Yeah. What does Mom say?”

As soon as my eyes left the letter, the director spoke to me.

‘Fuck, how do I explain this?’

Normally, the queen should have sent a message to the director asking him to take good care of me, and upon hearing that, the director should have been very fond of me.

Isn’t that obvious?

Because through my teaching methods, the skills of the cadets in the training center will improve by leaps and bounds.

But not now.

I have to hide my powers and act like the worst piece of trash.

All of this is a secret even from the director.

In order not to arouse suspicion from the watchers, you should rather keep your distance.

“It says to reflect here until you repent your sins. Don’t even think about running away… I guess you thought I would run away from here with a good reason.”

“Ha! No way! There was a message from Mama to keep a close eye on you. No matter what happens, keep you well so that you don’t escape.”

“I won’t run away. If I run away from here, my head will be cut off…”

“You know a lot.”

What the heck… is this right?

I was preparing a bag of gold coins to look good, but now I’m in a position where I have to force myself to hate them.

“Then I’ll be leaving now…”

“Wait a minute!”

“Oh, I had to burn this. Could you… lend me a light?”

“That’s true, and I have something to tell you too.”

“Yes?”

I stared blankly at the curator.

‘You’re not going to be another rascal like yesterday, are you?’

The queen’s uncle must have been at least 50 years old, but how could he be so muscular?

I waited for the director’s mouth to close, slightly nervous.

“As soon as you arrived, calls started pouring in from all directions.”

“…?”

“He said that he was asking for help because he saw someone who seemed to have the qualities to become a knight, but my feelings were not fooled.”

Is that the story you heard from Amy?

Aside from me, there are several new people coming into the training center today and yesterday?

-bang!

It’s a surprise.

The director suddenly slammed the table and started to speak passionately.

“This Pelot Knight Training School is the best and most prestigious knight training school in the North, boasting history and tradition. Since its establishment, it has produced many knights, and even now, knights from here belong to various knight orders that are famous in the kingdom, such as the Sun Knights under His Majesty’s direct command, the Silver Lion Knights, the Black Wolf Knights, the Red Blade Knights, and the White Rose Knights, which are the pride of our territory.”

what?

Is this what you want me to do, give you a round of applause?

But what do you want me to do?

“So you’d better stop talking nonsense.”

“A trick? Am I the one talking?”

“If not you, who else could it be? Since you can’t escape here, you must have mobilized all your connections to gather your people here!”

“Yes?”

“It’s no use trying to avoid it!”

“There’s no evidence that I called you here. What power do I have…”

“Stop! I don’t have any evidence to back you up here. I’m just warning you. You’d better stay quiet here. Adrian Floyd.”

Wow, this is crazy.

How can I, who doesn’t even have proper memories of the past, gather people together?

Rather, those who are trying to watch me…

‘…omg!’

As soon as I arrived, I started getting calls from all over the place?

Are you saying that there are a lot of new people coming in between yesterday and today?

‘no way…’

This is 100% true.

There are definitely people who are trying to enter the training center under false pretenses in order to keep an eye on me.

I almost brought them all into my class without even knowing it.

I’d rather have untalented guys than guys who might stab me in the back at any moment.

‘But thanks to the director, I found out one thing first…’

“If you’re so suspicious, why don’t you just keep the new people away from me?”

“What?”

“I heard that you’re going to assign new students to a class soon. Then, separate the new students from me. If what you suspect is true, what more could you do than plot a conspiracy if you put my students in the same class as me?”

The director suddenly became silent.

“That’s not for you to decide! You arrogant brat. You seem to be using your brain as a court tutor, so don’t make fun of the knight!”

“Yes?”

Why is the story going like that again?

“When did I ever find the article funny…”

“Shut up! I’ve heard enough about you. Even among the new recruits who joined this time, there are rumors that you’ve been very arrogant since your days at the Academy.”

“……”

이런 씨발, 아드리안 이 빌어먹을 새끼야.

‘under…’

okay.

What’s good is this.

Since it’s come to this, let’s just go ahead and do it.

“Well, whatever you think is fine. I just have to do as I’m told. What power would I have? But, is it okay for me, who is not even a knight, to be in charge of the new recruits? Why not put me in charge of supplies like Amy? If the kids I’m in charge of, who are not knights, grow faster than the kids who learned under other instructors… Not only those instructors who are knights, but also the director will lose face.”

My heart started beating very fast.

Even if I make just the slightest mistake, my neck will be twisted by those thick hands, but I won’t stop.

“Ha, that’s not even funny. Do you think that’s possible?”

“Of course. Would I have been a court tutor for nothing?”

Here, curl the corners of your lips once.

Destined to be hated anyway.

We need to change the class allocation method by provoking them to our heart’s content.

“Oh, the rumors I heard were true. You’re making fun of the article.”

“I’m not making fun of you, but isn’t that right? Gathering only the talented kids and having them train under good instructors, and leaving the untalented kids to unpopular instructors. I don’t think that’s a good way to educate them.”

bang!

“The long history and tradition of the training center… How dare you, a newbie like you, judge it so rashly!”

It seems like you’ve really caught a fever.

At this point, the operation is almost a success.

“Am I wrong? It is not good to judge by talent. If it is a prestigious knight training school, it should develop guys without talent and make them the best.”

“This… This… This guy, till the end…”

“Well, if it’s a long-standing tradition here that all the untalented kids are assigned to me who just rolled in, and all the talented kids are assigned to other instructors, and then you scold me later after seeing the results, then I’ll accept it. Oh, of course, I won’t discriminate against untalented kids and I’ll do my best.”

The director’s face turned bright red as if it was about to explode.

But I couldn’t hear any answer.

Just the blood vessels that have popped up near my temples are twitching.

“Then I will go now. Don’t worry, I will burn the letter right away.”

I quickly left the director’s office because I didn’t know when sparks would fly.

I close the door gently and turn around,

-Crack!

I heard something breaking inside.

‘If you’re going to get that worked up, you should change the class assignment system, you rascal.’

* * *

From the moment I left the building, I was on edge.

Without realizing it, I stopped walking and looked around.

I wonder if someone is hiding somewhere and watching me.

Could it be that there is someone disguised hiding among the cadets training in the training ground?

‘What the fuck…’

I can’t continue living like this forever.

I must quickly send everyone back and find a way to view the mana circuit in my own way to gain the favor of the queen and the warden.

Only then can I truly begin the second life I want.

‘There’s a problem with the mana circuit…’

If you just know how to properly read the mana circuit, you won’t have any major problems making a living in the future.

‘I only trusted Princess Purua…’

If only she were nearby, new memories would have come to mind many times.

Of course, you may have come across important clues or methods regarding the bio-enchantments he studied, as well as ways to view mana circuits.

‘It’s been several days already…’

When was the last time Adrian came to mind?

Was that when you first met Angelica?

No, was it when you read that suspicious letter?

Since I can’t remember anything after that, what I need most right now is Purua.

‘I don’t think the Queen will let me go unless all the guards drop off…’

The problem is that the current situation is not favorable.

In the end, you have to figure out how to read the mana circuit yourself.

‘Is Angelica the only one I can trust…’

But I experimented with the guy all day yesterday, but nothing worked.

‘Maybe I just don’t fit in with that guy…’

I think it would be good to have other test subjects besides him.

But given my current reputation, finding a suitable person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

You could drop by the workshop and bring in anyone to experiment on, but it would probably be better to have someone with some skill and who knows how to manipulate mana.

Like Deloitte.

That’s why I’d like to change the way this class is divided.

Even if you can’t become the instructor of the top class, shouldn’t you at least have one or two talented kids?

This is true even in Deloitte’s case.

Since the guy is so good that he is in charge of guarding the queen, I felt the physical change right away even with just a little bit of work and didn’t he apply it to actual combat right away?

Even if you touch the mana circuits of untalented children, there is a high probability that it will not have much effect.

‘Yeah. I feel at ease when I have at least two or three talented people.’

“Hey, Instructor Adrian!”

“Huh? Is it Amy?”

“All the new recruits will be meeting in the afternoon, right?”

“If you’re a new employee, are you a new employee this time?”

“Oh, no. Everyone, including the new students who are coming in this time, and those who entered two weeks ago. Oh, only the female students. I think it’s an introduction session for the new instructors and students who are coming in today. I think it’ll include an introduction for Adrian… You’ll be there, right?”

“Is the director coming too?”

“Of course. You are the manager here.”

“Then I should go. I’m an instructor here too.”

‘Is this a new introduction…?’

okay.

You can’t avoid it forever.

It would be better to face it head on.

Let’s take a look at your face.

Who are those guys that followed me here to spy on me?

‘And since I’m going anyway…’

Let’s make a proper appeal.

How much trash I am and how much I have incurred the hatred of the queen and the warden.

And how useless it is for you to watch over me.
