“Ugh…”

My head feels like it’s splitting.

Would getting hit in the head with a hammer feel like this?

Anyway, I dragged my body up in that state.

What I saw was a liquor bottle.

A liquor bottle that seemed to have contained expensive wine.

“Ah.”

Seeing it, everything came back to me.

The liquor my sister brought yesterday.

After my sister made side dishes and left the house, Ha-yeon excitedly opened the bottle and drank it alone.

Then, I blacked out.

I think I drank the whole big bottle by myself.

Am I crazy?

Today is my first day at the Elysia Academy, even if it’s only for a week.

“Ti-time.”

I immediately threw off the blanket, got up, and turned on the phone that had fallen next to me.

[10:42]

10:42 AM.

Since classes at the academy don’t start until 1 PM on the first day, it’s not super late.

But that doesn’t mean I have time to spare.

“Food…”

I ate cereal quickly.

The flavor I ate this time was milk.

Mixing milk-flavored cereal with milk made me instinctively think, “What the hell kind of taste is this?”

Well, the soft texture was okay.

I’m not going to buy it again after this.

Anyway, after eating and changing clothes, I felt ashamed again, but I ignored it, knowing I had to be like this for the next week, and left the house.

The place I headed to was a nearby station.

It would take about three hours to drive from my house to the academy.

If I left now at 11 AM, I’d definitely be late.

So, I headed for the mana train.

It uses mana to travel at incredible speeds safely, taking only about an hour and a half.

Why do I talk about the mana train like it’s a last resort?

That’s because…

“Wow… it’s really the Sword Demon.”

“Where is she going? More importantly… those legs are so h…”

“Don’t say crazy things. She can probably hear everything you’re saying. And didn’t you see the article? The Sword Demon is going to be a close-combat professor at Elysia Academy for a week.”

People were chattering about information that was already well-known.

This is why. It’s very tiring and annoying.

I’m deliberately emitting a killing intent that can’t be felt as a killing intent, preventing them from approaching directly.

Even so, it wasn’t a pleasant feeling to have them talking about me or taking pictures from afar.

“Haa…”

I sat near a seat and sighed as the mana train departed.

I plugged in my earphones, connected my phone to the mana train, set the station to get off at, and immediately went to sleep.

The alarm will go off right before the station I need to get off at.

With that, I closed my eyes.

“Is this the place?”

Ha-yeon said as she got off the train and arrived at the academy.

Before her was this gigantic academy, larger than the Association when combining all the grounds.

“It’s really big.”

She said, heading towards the main gate.

Then, two guards blocked her way.

They were skilled Hunters, ranking high even among A-ranks.

“Please present your teacher’s ID.”

“Here.”

She handed over the teacher’s ID she had received from the Association earlier. The guard checked it briefly, removed the two spears that had been blocking her, and opened the gate.

“Welcome to Elysia Academy, Baek Ha-yeon.”

Hearing those words, Ha-yeon entered the academy.

As she had heard, she entered the building and immediately headed to the fifth floor.

‘I need to meet the headmaster.’

I heard that I need to meet the headmaster, hear about the grade level I’ll be in charge of, and then start teaching.

That’s why I went straight to the fifth floor and arrived at the headmaster’s office in one go.

I also remember what I hear in one go.

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash,’ advises you to turn left here.]

Thanks to this all-purpose navigation system.

Anyway, I arrived at the headmaster’s office without getting lost once and knocked on the door.

Soon after, I heard a beautiful voice.

-Come in.

As soon as those words ended, I entered the room and saw a woman with beautiful eyes like navy and obsidian, and a beautiful face.

World Rank 7.

Kiara, Last Night, was there.

“You’ve arrived, Sword Demon.”

“I would appreciate it if you called me Baek Ha-yeon.”

“Then I’ll call you comfortably. Please sit here.”

Ha-yeon sat on the luxurious sofa in front of the desk.

Kiara, who was looking at her with a soft? expression, began to explain.

“As you already know, I would like you to take on the role of close-combat professor for a week. The professor who was in this position before suddenly disappeared.”

“Ah… yes.”

Disappeared?

They must have been quite skilled, so why?

“Being a professor doesn’t mean teaching detailed theories. This week happens to be a practical training period, so it’s all about sparring or taking students to low-level gates.”

That’s a relief.

Honestly, I don’t know any of the theories.

I’m the best when it comes to physical activities, but not the brain.

“The grade level you will be teaching is the first year.”

“Ah… um… yes.”

“Class S.”

“……….”

I got the worst possible group.

Elysia Academy first year.

The best talents, who boast their skills and enter the academy by breaking through a competition rate of 7000 to 1.

And in other words.

Arrogant teenagers with their noses in the air.

Moreover, Class S, praised as the most outstanding talents.

They are surely arrogant, thinking they are the best right now, and since it’s only the early to mid-first semester, there will still be quite a few students with that kind of personality.

They are very difficult to deal with.

I really don’t want to do it.

But if I say here, ‘I don’t want to be in charge of the first year, please change me to another grade’ or ‘Class S is too arrogant, please change me to Class A,’ I would become a crazy person.

‘Haa… I also have to think about how to crush those noses.’

Kiara, as if reading her thoughts, wore an even more benevolent expression.

“Then I look forward to working with you. Temporary professor?”

“…I, too, look forward to working with you for a week.”

I was about to end the conversation and leave, but the next words Kiara said made my whole body stiffen.

“More than that, the professor’s uniform suits you well… The curves of those legs are really pretty.”

Ah.

I wanted to die.

“Class S…”

Since the class had already started about 10 minutes ago, the hallway was quiet.

The soundproofing is also excellent, so you can’t even hear the professors teaching.

Ha-yeon walked through such a hallway, looking for Class S.

Not long after, she found Class S at the very end.

Well, it’s said to be at the very end, but the stairs are right next to it, and the size is the largest, so it clearly shows that it’s a place where the brightest talents are gathered.

“Haa…”

A sigh naturally came out.

Am I nervous?

Absolutely not, rather, I’m looking forward to it.

Looking forward to crushing the noses of those bright gems.

‘Ah, I love it so much.’

If there is jealousy, it can be said that there is.

Why only those guys when I can’t?

Why can’t I?

That thought has been big since high school.

It’s not that big now, but I have to break their arrogance at least once for those guys.

With that thought, I opened the door to the class.

Bang!

The door opened with a loud noise.

First impressions are the most important.

If you are looked down upon, it’s over right there.

You must never be looked down upon.

“……”

Without saying anything, I entered the class and stood at the podium in front.

They must have been talking until just now, as they were frozen in the posture of talking to the person next to them.

‘About… 15 people?’

Standing at the podium, I stared at them without saying anything. The students seemed to have grasped the situation, hiding their dumbfounded expressions and correcting their posture.

Of course, there was a guy who started talking as soon as he came to his senses.

I’ll deal with those guys later.

“As you all know, I am the Sword Demon, Baek Ha-yeon, an S-class Hunter affiliated with the Association.”

Well, the first impression seems to have been captured quite well.

“I will be in charge of the close-combat teacher and instructor position for the next week. Please take care of me for the week.”

Here is the most important thing to say.

“However.”

Words that a normal teacher would not say even for the sake of dignity.

“If you get on my nerves even a little, I will go straight to sparring and beat you up, so behave well.”

Saying that, Ha-yeon put on black gloves.

Those black gloves are prepared so that students and teachers don’t get hurt when sparring.

Putting them on now means that she will spar at any time.

That worked quite well, as there was no talk…

“What, is she just another teacher who’s all talk?”

No, there is.

That crazy guy.

The corner window seat.

A place commonly called the delinquent seat.

There was a guy sitting there with his red hair slicked back and piercings all over his body, proudly proclaiming, “I’m a delinquent.”

Looking at the name on the podium, Ha-yeon sighed and said.

“Haa… Okay, I’ll let it go this time since it’s the first time. Im Cheol-ha.”

Im.

He’s probably the son of the chairman of the large corporation, Ryukatro.

I’ve seen it in an article.

Is that enough to make him act like that?

Well, that’s beside the point, but that one sentence I just said is quite important.

I am quite generous, but only if you don’t get on my nerves.

I can also give you a chance.

And of course, that guy is someone who will kick that opportunity away.

“Bullshit, you’re just going to say the same thing and let it go, and…”

Also, a crazy guy who brings his body to the mouth of an anti-aircraft gun even after kicking away that opportunity.

“Do you like wearing clothes like that? Try flirting, if you do well, I might even take you in as a concubine…”

Saying that, the guy smiled and scanned Ha-yeon’s body.

Wow… does he really live only one day?

I’m rank 3, is he really crazy?

“Um… okay, I gave you a chance? No excuses?”

And immediately after that moment.

“Kkeuaaak!”

The guy’s right arm was broken.
