“Good. To commemorate this happening, I am shooting myself today. Everyone in the combat department gathers at the dessert cafe!”

“Yay, I’m excited!”

Even the junior assistants, including the Combat Department professor, were so excited by my declaration that they charged into the dessert cafe instead of charging into it.

“Professor! Professor Dian! Wait a minute!”

At that time, someone called me urgently from behind, so I tried to turn around, but I couldn’t.

“Let’s go quickly! Brogue wants to eat mango cake!”

This was because Orc Brog, the unarmed combat professor, pushed me forward.

I don’t know who it is, but if it’s urgent, I’m sure he’ll come by later.

As we sat down at the outdoor table, young professors went into the cafe to order dessert.

“Huh? Do you guys know how to eat desserts too?”

“Didn’t the head professor tell everyone to gather together?”

General Combat Professor Morton, who was sitting with his arms crossed, answered bluntly. Armed Combat Professor Geneve doesn’t even have an answer.

“Have you ever eaten something like this?”

“This is my first time. Dessert is not suitable for long-distance patrols. If they were ordinary infantrymen like girls, they wouldn’t know.”

“Huh? You really haven’t tried it? What about you?”

I looked at Geneve in surprise at Morton’s answer, and she also shook her head briefly without saying a word.

Anyway, how in the world have you never had dessert?

No, even if I haven’t tried it, what on earth does it have to do with long-distance patrols?

These are exactly that, that’s it. American style man.

In America, men have to prove at every moment that they are not gay, right?

“Now that you are an academy professor, try some of these things.”

Neither of them has an answer.

“Chief Professor! What would you like to drink?”

“Oh, I’ll look at the menu and choose that myself!”

At that time, I heard a voice calling from inside, so I got up from my chair and went into the cafe.

As I was looking at the menu and ordering additional drinks and desserts, Professor Pelemia, a psychological warfare professor, tapped my shoulder.

“By the way, senior professor. Aren’t you coming with the principal?”

“Principal? I’m sure the principal will take care of it himself.”

“That’s not it. Technically, the principal is also a member of our Combat Department, right?”

Oh, I see. Come to think of it, Kirrin is also a professor of assassination and kidnapping.

I looked around and saw the principal with his ears drooping, standing alone at a distance, glancing this way.

“Principal!”

As I raised my hand, Kirin’s ears perked up.

“Come this way!”

“Oh, no. I’m fine, so you guys enjoy it together.”

“Come on! The principal is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Combat!”

“No. I don’t want to go. I just came to see what the inside looks like, so I’m really going to leave soon.”

“Pellemia. Bring the principal.”

Kirrin was embarrassed and threw up her hands in gibberish, and gave an order to Pelemia.

“Ji, it’s really okay! You’re uncomfortable when I’m around!”

I burst out laughing at Kirrin’s words as she was dragged by Felemia by the arm.

That applies only to bosses who are scary or overflowing with authority, principal.

“Come this way, principal!”

As Kirin sat down on the chair and was welcomed by Professor Lina, everyone in the Combat Department finally gathered in one place.

However, looking at it this way, their appearance and attributes do not seem to be professors at the academy, but rather a dark organization.

Let’s take a look at that aspect.

Morton is a general combat professor who is middle-aged, has a thick neck, is muscular, and has a long, braided white beard.

Geneve is an armed combat professor with cold eyes, a tightly shut mouth, exposed arms, and a face full of cut scars.

Brogue, a green orc unarmed combat professor with a majestic physique that stands over 2 meters tall and has protruding buck teeth.

Kazadar, a dwarven combat equipment professor, has thick forearms and a vicious hammer attached to his waist belt.

Waver, a hunter and survival professor who shot and killed 100 demons and received a medal.

Orendi is a magic response professor who has a youthful appearance and is full of freckles, but actually possesses tremendous magical power.

In contrast to her gentle and kind personality with a friendly smile, Rina is an infiltration professor and former member of a special team whose past is completely unknown.

Pelemia, a psychological warfare professor who was in charge of interrogating captured high-ranking demon executives.

Anna, a combat riding professor with dark black hair who is always depressed… I’m not sure.

In addition, there is the dark elf Kirrin principal, a race notorious for assassination.

These are characters that do not fit at all at the outdoor table of a dessert cafe on this sunny spring day.

In addition, the instructors who occupied the tables around us were from the Combat Department and had all worked here and there in the past.

If this world is an illusion of the ‘dark side’ type, it would not be impossible to lead these people and conquer the world.

When the dessert came out, I was the first to invite Kirrin to taste it. Even though she is the principal, she is still the highest ranking person here.

Kirrin’s ears fluttered and her ruby eyes widened as she took a bite of the whipped cream strawberry cake.

“This is so delicious… ?!”

Soon, Kirin started eating the cake until her cheeks were full.

“The principal looks just like a puppy right now.”

Lina, who saw that, giggled and quietly whispered to me.

The rest of the professors who ate the cake were all satisfied, and even Morton and Geneve, who insisted on being manly men, seemed to secretly like it.

On my way home from work that day, I bought some desserts to give to Olivia.

Naturally, Olysia also really liked it. This is a cheat for girls of Olivia’s age.

“It’s nice that I don’t have to take a carriage to the city center anymore.”

Olivia said while eating a whipped cream cake.

“No matter how special the carriage was for Dian, it was burdensome to ask the coachman every time, even though it was not part of the academy.”

“Just write it. The academy gave me to take care of all my personal business.”

“But that’s true. If you use it too openly, you may be looked down upon by higher-ups later.”

Olivia is worried that I might get fired from the Academy. If I get fired, I’ll have to go back to Brunswell.

“Oh, and by any chance, Dian. Did you put a stone next to the wall?”

“A stone?”

“The flat cornerstone I saw for the first time was right next to the wall, so I thought Dian had brought it there to do some work?”

“Well? What do I work on? Everything here is fine with no need for repairs.”

“Hmm, then what is it… .”

Olivia, who was chewing on her cake, lowered her voice.

“Perhaps… Isn’t there a thief?”

“A thief?”

“You bring a stone and go up there and look inside to see if there is an opportunity.”

“What are you talking about, Olisia? This is the Special Mission Academy. There’s no way a thief could get in. I don’t know if they’re like the Demon Death Squad.”

“I see… .”

“Aaaah!”

At that time, a scream was suddenly heard outside.

“You’re a thief!”

Without even having time to understand the situation, Olivia jumped up, grabbed a cast iron pan from the kitchen, and ran outside.

“Wow, that’s real.”

I felt like I needed to bring her in, so I followed Olysia outside.

“Hey, Ollysia. Don’t make a fuss. Do you think there will be thieves at the academy? Probably a cat in heat in the spring… Not… .”

“Ah… Hello professor… .”

When I saw Knightley sitting under the wall, I was speechless.

# # # # #

“So, you came all the way here to protest because of the private lessons? And secretly leaving the dormitory?”

“Yes.”

Knightley answered calmly while drinking the warm tea provided by Olicia. The embarrassed look from earlier when the cloak was removed is now gone.

“You are the class president. Is this okay? And if it’s such a trivial story, you can just come to it during work… .”

“How do I find the professor when he is never in his office!?”

Knightley immediately raised his voice.

“Every time I go, he is absent and when I look to see where he is, he is always at the construction site or making jokes with students! Either that or messing around with people from the Combat Department!”

“Dian! Is that really true?!”

Olisia asked, startled by Knightley’s words pouring out like a waterfall.

“Are you really not working and just having fun all the time?”

“No, something like that. Hey, Knightley. If anyone hears it, they’ll think it’s really me.”

“Dian. Then what are you going to do if you get fired? I don’t want to go back to Brunswick!”

“Never get cut, you guy. Okay, you go take a shower and get ready for bed.”

I forced Olicia into the bathroom and sat down with Knightley again.

“So the point is, don’t you want me to give you intense private lessons as soon as possible? Right?”

“That’s right. This is a clear contract. Did you know that oral contracts are also effective?”

“You know.”

“So, fulfill your contract faithfully. You said you would give lessons every week, but you haven’t done it once since the night infiltration.”

That’s true. There was so much going on in the meantime that I couldn’t pay attention.

At first, Knightley made the request unilaterally, but I agreed because I wanted to teach a kid like Knightley and wanted to keep Principal Kirrin in the principal’s position.

As Knightley said, it is a contract between two parties, so it must be fulfilled with sincerity.

“I still had work to do, and it went well. Let’s go together for a private lesson.”

Then, for a brief moment, color appeared on Knightley’s extremely cold face.

“When?”

“I’m going right away tomorrow. So, hurry up and go back to the dormitory and get some sleep.”

“Where are we going? What is it?”

“You will find out when you go. Is that enough now?”

“Good.”

Knightley stood up while controlling her expression.

“Then good night.”

“Goodbye.”

After Knightley left, I shook my head and sipped my tea.

Even though she is a senior and the daughter of a duke, would she ever think of coming to the professor’s house at night? Anyway, these are things these days.

“Huh? Has he gone?”

Just then, Olysia came out of the bathroom and asked.

“Uh. Now go and sleep. You have to go to bed early to grow taller.”

“Dian. But what he said earlier is really not true, is it?”

Olivia asks again if she is still worried.

“Uh. No, don’t worry. If I get fired as a professor, I will hand over all my assets to you.”

“Really?! Wait! Quick, grab a pen and paper… !”

As Olivia was scrambling to write a memorandum, the door suddenly creaked open.

“Professor.”

When I turned around, I saw Knightley wearing a cloak standing there.

“What are you? Why did you come back? Is there still anything left to say?”

“That’s not it. I don’t think I can go back to the dormitory.”

“What? Why?”

“The security spell was activated after midnight. I can’t break through.”

Professor Orendi’s security magic is applied to the main facilities of our academy to prevent outside intrusion at night.

Was it activated at midnight?

In fact, it is not that difficult to destroy the guard magic cast by an Orendi level wizard.

But that’s the case when infiltrating anywhere, and here the situation is different.

An academy professor cannot destroy security magic by sneaking a deviant student into the dormitory at night.

Well, is there a way?

“Then just sleep here and go back early tomorrow morning. That will work.”

“Eek!? Dian!”

Olisia was more frightened than Knightley and shouted.

“That’s not possible! If anyone finds out, it’s over!”

“We just need to keep it to ourselves so that no one else finds out. The bed in your room is large, so you two can sleep there. That’s okay.”

“No. I’ll just sleep on the sofa. That’s convenient.”

Then Knightley flatly refused and pointed to the sofa where I was sitting.

Although she didn’t say it directly, it seems unacceptable for a noble lady to share a bed with her maid, Olysia.

“Okay, if it’s convenient for you, do that. Did you hear that, Olivia? Bring a blanket.”

“Seup… . I understand.”

Olicia brought the bedding and Knightley spread it out on the sofa.

“Then sleep well everyone.”

“Good night.”

Olivia goes to her room on the first floor, Knightley lies down on the sofa, and I go up to the second floor.

Lying in bed, I finished reading the novel I was reading and giggled before falling asleep.

# # # # #

midnight.

Knightley quietly opened his eyes and turned his head.

There was no light coming from the room the maid entered earlier, so she must have already fallen asleep.

Knightley got up from the sofa and crept to the window to look out, just in case.

Fortunately, there was no Mayan priest’s head visible on the wall.

After confirming that everything was fine, Knightley headed up the stairs to this floor.

Knightley, who couldn’t sleep because of the anticipation of having private lessons tomorrow, was about to go to Professor Dian’s room.

If the professor is not sleeping, we can talk about various things.

What did you do in the past, how did you become friends with your father, what led you to join the academy, etc.

Professor Dian travels around all the time, so it is rare for him to have a one-on-one conversation in a quiet atmosphere.

You’ve already failed to properly request an interview once. If I just let tonight go, I don’t know what will happen tomorrow.

“Where are you going?”

As I was just stepping up to the first step, I suddenly heard a voice.

Knightley almost screamed, covered his mouth and looked up.

Lying at an angle about halfway up the stairs, Olysia, wrapped in a blanket, was looking down at Knightley with half-open eyes.

Um, that kid over there without a sound… ? More than that, what on earth are you doing over there?!

“Ah, that… .”

Knightley, completely taken aback by the unexpected situation, stuttered and struggled to come up with an excuse.

“So, I need to urinate urgently… .”

“The side door of the kitchen.”

“Okay… .”

Damn it… . Really, that kid is an obstacle every time I meet him… .

Knightley bit his lip and went into the bathroom to urinate, even though he didn’t feel like it.

And then, when urine really didn’t come out, he had to go through the humiliating humiliation of making a ‘shhh’ sound with his mouth to deceive Olisia.

# # # # #

Olivia clicked her tongue as she heard Knightley making noises about urinating in the bathroom.

Noble, you’re funny. Is there a noble in this world who makes noises like urinating with his mouth? what the.

Just as Knightley finished his clumsy performance, Olysia pointed to the living room.

“The sofa is over there.”

“Yeah, right… . I was already planning to go there… .”

Olivia shook her head as she watched Knightley hesitantly lying down on the sofa.

I knew I would be like that. I recognized it from the first time I saw it.

A vicious female student who clearly came to the dorm to see Dian.

I heard a rumor that Dian is very popular these days because he does various things, so maybe that’s why.

In the end, as expected, you tried to break into Dian’s bedroom, right?

As expected, it was good to protect it.

If something unpleasant happens between that crazy noble lady and Dian, Dian will be kicked out of the academy and I will have to return to Brunswick.

I will never let that happen.

No one can approach Dian while you are a professor at the Academy!
