While Director Stella and Professor Edmund went to take administrative action regarding our instructor appointment process.

“…….”

“…….”

At the guest table in the academy’s first staff room, I sat across from Aria Milkyway, the instructor who passed the class with me.

‘Wiki.’

Information is important.

Unlike me, a freelancer, Aria Milky Way is so famous that I immediately recognized her when I saw her.

He was also the ace pilot of Virgo Colony, widely known as one of the 12 major colonies, so he must have a personal profile page on Space Wiki.

For sure….

“If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask directly. There is no reason not to answer.”

Aria, who sensed like a ghost that I was about to take out the terminal and do some research on her, took the initiative.

“You know my age, and I’m sure you heard about my experience a little while ago when I introduced you. What you’re curious about is my teaching method?”

“Well, the teaching method is different for each instructor and varies depending on the student-”

“That’s a method that doesn’t suit me.”

“…Huh?”

I realized from the start that we were not compatible.

“Although the academy is called a pilot training center, it is basically a military academy. It is basic to operate in a military style, and since you are a soldier, there must be superiority and subordination.”

“So, rather than teaching tailored to the individual student, students should follow the instructor’s teachings?”

“There may be some discretion, but it is necessary to follow the curriculum. The curriculum is not created for nothing, and the weekly education plan is not created for nothing.”

“That’s the established theory, but isn’t it too textbook-like?”

“……Wait a minute.”

Aria raised her hand with twinkles in her eyes.

“Why do you speak informally?”

“……If you treat me with respect, will you respect me again?”

“Of course. Because we can be considerate of minor mistakes.”

“…….”

First of all, I know that my teaching style doesn’t match, but the human nature itself doesn’t match.

“Good. Since they are the same instructor, I will call them Instructor Aria. Are you satisfied?”

“Of course, Instructor Cloud.”

“…….”

“Why are you doing that? Are you offended by being called by your last name instead of your first name?”

“No. I don’t really care about that. Rather, it seems like instructor Aria is the one who cares.”

“…….”

Milky Way.

A woman who uses the word Milky Way as her last name.

“I know something about the history of Virgo Colony. Also, the Milky Way family is a very prestigious family in the colony. In the Middle Ages, you would actually be called princess.”

“The 23rd century is approaching. What kind of noble person are you?”

“In reality, isn’t the status within the colony similar?”

It is known that women are socially dominant in Virgo Colony.

Although those who developed the colony were mainly women, I heard that the colony environment was not environmentally friendly for men to live in, so the female sex ratio was quite high.

“You dare come all the way to Starlight Academy to become an instructor, leaving behind a colony like that. Building a reputation as an instructor is one thing, but the purpose of ‘personal circumstances’ seems to be bigger.”

“Personal circumstances are just personal circumstances. It’s a private area, and I don’t intend to tell anyone unless I’m close.”

“Hoo, will you let me know once we become closer to each other?”

“Are you like comrades who can stand on the battlefield and fight the enemy with each other’s backs?”

“…….”

In fact, it’s like saying that you have no intention of letting anyone know.

Well, if this is a secret, I’m not in a position to force them to reveal it, as they have as much or even more of it than I do.

Anyway, I am now an instructor, and I just have to do my part regardless of whether this woman in front of me is a distraction or not.

‘There are a total of two things that need to be done.’

one. As a special forces instructor, I train them with sincerity to the point where they can win the colony.

two. The goal is to prevent the colony from being taken over by others, revealing the existence of the Ether Bus, and causing a space war over this Starlight Colony.

The former can be said to be Trev Cloud’s purpose as a teacher, while the latter can be said to be his purpose as a human living in this universe.

“Well, I understand. Even if there are differences of opinion about teaching methods, it will not hinder the growth and development of students. That’s enough.”

If it’s the latter, I don’t know, but if it’s the former, this woman is not the enemy.

“Let me teach you well. So that we can win the colony competition before the current first year graduates.”

“…No.”

I held out my hand to shake, but Instructor Aria firmly raised her hand and shook her head.

“When first year students graduate, it is too late.”

“…….”

“I mean, this year is the best time. Next year at the latest.”

“What is that.”

If you’re saying this to avoid shaking hands, it may be quite heartbreaking…

“Former Space Academy laws have changed. Originally, admission was possible from the age of 20, but from next year, early admission to the first year is possible for those aged 17 or older with the consent of their guardian.”

“What?”

What is that?

“No, that’s nonsense. People aged 17 to 19 are minors. That’s the universe constitution.”

“It is a precept that is suppressed by the constitution and enforced by all colonies… no, the 12th Colony ‘Zodiac’ League gathers public opinion and enforces it. The people they have secured with the talent of special ace pilots will turn 17 next year.”

“Ah, I know what you mean. Are they trying to enroll talented super geniuses as academy undergraduates so that they can win the championship as quickly as possible? Despite not being an adult?”

“…I feel like my words are getting shorter again, but that’s true.”

“How did you know that?”

“My younger sister is planning to enter Virgo Academy next year. He is 16 years old. Your talent as a pilot is a level above mine.”

“…….”

Wouldn’t this actually be Stardust, not Starlight?

The name, which was meant to be the brightest colony in the universe, now appears to be on the verge of being disintegrated into stardust by numerous colonies.

“So you were saying you don’t have time. Considering that there will be aces coming next year, I decided that this year might actually be the most difficult time to win.”

“That’s right. In fact, there is a high possibility that it will happen.”

“Hmm….”

For that reason, it is definitely right to apply a one-sided teaching method.

correction.

It seems right.

At least in the sense of training excellent pilots.

“Is there something you don’t like, Instructor Cloud?”

“No. it’s nothing. No matter how much I explain, people like you won’t feel it unless you experience it yourself.”

“Hmm…? Are you trying to provoke me? Your teaching method was not wrong, so are you criticizing me now?”

“It is neither a sale nor an excitement. I just think that despite those variables, we need to take a long view of 3 years.”

“Next year-”

“All you have to do is raise talent who can defeat even that special ace.”

“…….”

Instructor Aria’s eyes trembled slightly.

His eyes looked like he was barely holding back from saying to me, ‘What is this idiot talking about?’

is not it?

Am I just surprised by something so absurd?

At least it doesn’t seem like you were immediately influenced by what I said.

“…Well, I think we’ll be discussing this often in the future, so I won’t have to blush any more here. great. As for the rest, you can start by teaching your students. It’s not something I’m proud of, but I have some recognition as ‘Virgo’s Top Gun’.”

“…….”

Since this is our first time meeting each other, I don’t know how much we know about each other, but one thing is clear.

“Hey, have you heard anything about the students who will be in charge of special forces instructors?”

“Yes?”

“The students we will teach. There are stories I heard about him. I wonder if they exist.”

“That’s right, from what I heard before the interview, he’s quite a problem child.”

“Yes. These are children with very serious problems.”

Instructor Aria chuckled and placed her hand on her chest.

“I’m not worried. Because any student can be guided if you teach with sincerity. Before winning the colony competition, we will do our best to guide you into becoming a good student.”

“Then it’s even more serious.”

“What do you mean it is serious?”

“Let me ask you one thing. Are the Special Forces a team or just a class from the same Colony Academy?”

“Of course, as comrades in arms, we must become one team.”

“From there, there is a very serious problem. Since you don’t seem to know anything, I’ll tell you this in advance.”

After hearing this, I found it completely absurd, but that’s why I thought I was the best at it.

“There is currently only 1 student in the Special Forces and Green Camp.”

“……Are you saying you only raise one Ace?”

“No. Not at all. To begin with, there were four people. Just.”

“Only?”

“That one student kicked out all the other students. Everyone, including the instructor.”

“…….”

Instructor Aria’s expression gradually began to crack.

“No way….”

“What is the background for being kicked out? From what I heard.”

I made a gun shape with my hand and fired it at Instructor Aria.

“Friendly Fire. They say it happened several times during mock battles.”
