“I plan to treat you like a professor from now on. Since he doesn’t want to sign a contract as a professor, I have to force him to do so.”

Are you saying that if you are treated like a professor, you will have a private laboratory?

Oh my.

That’s good.

“Now that I’m a professor, I have to have a subject to teach. Think carefully about what you want to teach, fill out the course opening application form, and bring it in by next week. If there is any advice I can give you in the report, I will give it to you.”

“It’s sudden, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to prepare it by next week.”

“If you don’t know, should I open one for you?”

“No. I will think about it carefully.”

“Giggles. And I’m talking about Alicia.”

“Yes.”

Why is Alicia’s story suddenly coming out?

“Try to appease me and teach me.”

“Yes?”

“He came to see me saying he was transferring schools. It seemed psychologically unstable somewhere. I’ve seen a lot of kids like that. It’s when you need the teacher’s attention.”

Alicia’s emotions are unstable?

Is that why you suddenly apologized to Angelina?

Because you’re out of your mind?

Actually, it was strange for a kid with such a high opinion to suddenly apologize.

“Alicia… Since it is part of the Department of Coexistence, Professor Padli and Assistant Professor Wigreb are in charge. As an assistant professor in the Department of Harmony, I don’t think it’s right for me to take care of her myself.”

“I will tell you that I ordered it, so don’t worry. If you feel that Alicia needs teaching, please do whatever you want.”

I asked out of curiosity.

“Did Alicia ask the president that she wanted to learn from me?”

“Yes. He said he wanted to learn from you.”

President Robert responded calmly.

“On the other hand, it seemed like they didn’t want to learn. But it also seems like he wants to learn. That kid. It’s shaking.”

He looked at me with serious eyes.

“Please hold me tight.”

***

After speaking with the president, I walked through the hall alone.

My thoughts deepened.

The reason why Alicia has an anxious attitude.

Is it because of me?

It doesn’t seem like there’s anything that’s bothering her, so what was making it difficult for her?

All I did was protect my kids, Angelina.

“I don’t know.”

I sighed.

I’ll have to meet him and ask him.

Anyway, Alicia apologized to Angelina, so she should treat her without prejudice from now on.

“Assistant Professor Naru there. Let me take a moment.”

Assistant Professor Wigreb, wearing a bow tie, approached me holding a glass of wine in one hand.

There is a lot of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

“I acknowledge that Assistant Professor Naru saved the world. But this is an academy where there are definitely ups and downs. Moreover, there are many professors who have performed outstandingly like Assistant Professor Naru in their youth.”

This guy suddenly jumps out and says something.

“Why did you receive an apology from our young lady? And in this happy place? Do you feel good about making the lady sad?”

I guess it’s about Alicia.

Was this person next to you at the time?

“I’ve never seen someone as arrogant as you and doesn’t know what consideration is. Ah, are you going to hit me for saying this? It’s no use. Because there are a lot of people here watching. And I am a person who always says what I have to say no matter how strong the other person is.”

A laugh escaped my lips.

Because it’s absurd.

“Why are you smiling? Is what I’m saying funny? It’s really rude for someone who has less experience as an assistant professor than me to ignore a senior who is as high as the sky! I feel really bad!”

He lifted the glass in his hand and took a gulp.

After emptying it completely, wipe your mouth.

“I have to meet Assistant Professor Ann and Assistant Professor Holland of the Harmony Department and tell them to teach their juniors properly. It won’t work.”

I tried to just listen and leave, but I crossed a line.

“Listen for a moment.”

“Why the ears? What should I say?”

Wigreb obediently listens.

I whispered softly in his ear.

“Starting today, I’m a professor, you bastard.”

“Yes?”

***

“Alicia, you’ve just been walking. Staying in one place… ”

The bodyguard said that with a cautious expression.

Since entering the spacious hall, Alicia has been unable to mingle with the students and has been wandering around.

‘I know, me too.’

Alicia bit her lower lip.

In fact, she had no friends she could hang out with.

There was no one best friend who could stand in one place and laugh.

It’s been a while since her kingdom fell.

At one time, she was called the queen bee and reigned among the students.

Recently, as her grades have fallen behind Angelina, Lydia, and Hazley, she has no longer been able to enjoy the absolute authority she used to have.

In addition, when Demon Padmera invaded the academy, she was kicked out in one hit without even putting up any resistance, not being selected as a starter for the Hymn of Valor competition, and her recent bad relationship with the popular Assistant Professor Naru, which became known to the students, making her popular. was in sharp decline.

Even the gang I used to go with has left and is no longer there.

It is true that she is still revered by general students, but as the duke’s daughter, Alicia’s main activities and relationships are mostly with high-ranking nobles, so their interest is not enough for her.

However, the children of high-ranking noble families only made her a subject of ridicule and no longer followed her.

Since their social status was similar, there was no reason to bow down to Alicia, who was in decline.

“He had a nasty personality and ended up becoming an outcast.”

“He thought he was the center of the world. It was difficult to hang out with.”

“That’s why even the warriors abandon him.”

“The warrior seems to be very close with the queen, so I shouldn’t hang out with Alicia.”

“Because my skills were poor in the first place, I wasn’t selected for the Hymn of Valor contest.”

“He’s out of fashion now. This time, the five people chosen by Assistant Professor Naru are trending.”

“If his skills are not good, he should at least have a good personality, but he is now in big trouble. I can’t fix something like that in my life.”

The gaze of those around me stings.

Everyone was giggling as they glanced at them.

It wasn’t like this even a few months ago.

This was my first time experiencing this cruel reality.

It was painful.

‘Win Alicia!’

‘Alicia, the strongest student in the 12th grade of Vuzdra Academy!’

‘Next student council president candidate Alicia!’

‘Alicia, a genius knight with a promising future!’

Praise, praise, praise.

People who used to constantly praise me are now saying that I am a waste of time.

I haven’t changed anything.

Rather, isn’t the level of Angelina, Lydia, and Hazley abnormal?

Skills that cannot be considered a student.

Those who are not fit to attend the academy.

It was Kang Na-ru who made them like that.

Maybe me too… I want to cling to him.

I want to get people’s attention again through my changed appearance.

“I will stand here. If we stay together, people won’t come, so everyone please leave.”

“Yes, my lady.”

The bodyguards stood far away in front of the wall.

Alicia stood alone among the students.

I pass by and admire the dress she is wearing today, but no one approaches.

It’s difficult for regular students because of the difference in status.

Because the children of high-ranking nobles hate themselves.

Of course, because of what he had done in the past, his bad image among students probably also played a role.

All this while, I was too proud and arrogant.

And I looked down on my friends severely.

‘I know, I know. I can finally see what I have been doing all this time. ‘Don’t look at me like that.’

Suddenly, I saw a fruit tree lying on the table.

‘Okay, if that’s the case… ‘

I want to let the world know that I am having a hard time.

Anyone please help.

Okay.

I picked up the excess.

The moment when you hold it upside down and stab it in the chest with your eyes closed.

“Stop.”

Wow.

My wrist was caught just before the blade reached my chest.

I opened my eyes and looked at the other person.

“Ah… !”

Naru Kang.

I saw his face.

“Alicia!”

“Trigram, are you okay?”

The panicked security guards rushed over.

In the midst of the commotion, Kang Na-ru’s gaze urged herself on.

“You are weaker than you look.”

“Kang Naru… Why did you stop me?”

His hand gently cupped her cheek.

“This is an order from the President. I will take care of you from now on.”

***

“The winners who have graced our Academy, please come forward!”

President Robert shouted brightly.

The students clapped and cleared the way.

Me and my students, Angelina, Lydia, Hazley, Rachel, and Roan.

We went up on stage waving our hands everywhere.

The president introduced us one by one and briefly explained our performance in the Hymn of Valor competition.

There was also time to answer questions from students.

“I would like to ask Assistant Professor Naru Kang.”

“Yes, please say so.”

“Can you tell us in detail about the training and how you guided the winners?”

“You can tell me, but please don’t repeat it. Training involves going to deep and rugged mountains and catching Pegasus Sesia.”

“Hahaha.”

A burst of laughter erupts from the audience.

While I was happily answering students’ questions, I was thinking about a female student.

Alicia.

I was surprised that he suddenly wanted to harm himself.

It didn’t seem like the time to be leisurely worrying about whether or not to take care of her.

I don’t know how it got so damaged, but it seemed like treatment was urgent, so I decided to do it.

To pay attention to her.

‘But what should you two do?’

Should I go on an adventure?

I’m at a loss.

He has a nasty temper, but he listens well.
