The rumor that Knightley, the graduating class president and daughter of the Duke of Toulouse, was killed by the head combat professor quickly spread. Even the ridiculous extra points of 50 points all at once and the crazy sword skills of the head combat professor.

After swinging the wooden sword just twice, Knightley fell upside down on the floor. Among the numerous students at the scene, none of them looked closely at how the head combat professor neutralized Knightley.

Also, the daughter of a high-ranking noble who is said to be one of the empire’s most powerful people? What are you crazy doing? Do you have two lives?

All professors of the Department of Combat Studies who heard this news could not help but be shocked and lamented.

“I thought it was working properly, but it caused such a big accident!”

Dwarf Kadazar hit the desk in anger, and General Combat Morton quietly reprimanded Geneve, who was present at the time.

“What on earth were you doing there when you stopped him?”

“How can a subject professor stop the head professor’s actions?”

In response to Geneve’s answer, Anna, a combat horse, clenched her hands and cried.

“Now our combat department is over… . What if the Duke of Toulouse, who found out that his daughter had been beaten, bursts into the academy… .”

“Haha. Could it be so? This is a school where students are taught, and they could get hurt during practice.”

Waver, the king of positivity, smiled brightly, but most of the professors’ faces were filled with deep sorrow.

“I don’t know anything else, but I don’t mess with kids from real noble families… .”

“I don’t know. Just in case, I need to prepare a resignation letter.”

While professors in the Department of Combat, who were looking forward to practical education and training but had no idea it would make such a sudden move, were in gloom, there were active discussions about this in the Department of Theory, which is at the opposite end of the Department of Combat.

“Senior Professor. What do you think? Will the Tolus family take action?”

“I think that damn Toluz, not any other place, would definitely turn the academy upside down.”

Theoretical department staff room. Ismera, the senior professor of theory sitting at the head table, was quietly listening to the professors’ stories.

“The Combat Department’s misfire won’t end up as a spark for us, right? Even now, Principal Kirin is in a very precarious situation.”

“What on earth is the new chief combat officer thinking?”

One day, Dian, a senior combat professor, suddenly ‘appeared’ at the academy.

A chief combat officer is obviously a seasoned warrior with a lot of relevant experience, but no matter how you look at it, Dian is a pale-faced young man. Just looking at his appearance, he looks more like a theory professor or an academy librarian.

So the theory department professors did everything they could to investigate his background, but nothing came up. So it’s rather strange.

It’s normal for anything to come out as great as great, but for some reason, there was no way to know what Dian had done in the past.

Therefore, theory professors are only guessing that Dian may have been a special agent of the empire. Because that kind of people are all like that.

However, in the case of Ismera, she knows some information about Dian through her personal connections. He was part of one of the many special units created during the Four Years’ War, and made great contributions there.

I don’t know exactly what he majored in, but at least he can feel relaxed even after committing the atrocity of beating the daughter of the Duke of Toulouse with a wooden sword in front of everyone. Or maybe it’s because he doesn’t know exactly what kind of place the Duke of Toulouse is.

“One thing is certain.”

When Ismera opened her mouth, all the professors fell silent and focused their attention on her.

“The place we are paying attention to now is not Toulouse but the Imperial Castle.”

At those words, the professors nodded with low admiration.

“I see. It is a public fact that the Imperial Castle is trying to oust Principal Kirrin. The reason why the chief professor of combat is so active is because Principal Kirin approved it, so the Imperial Castle may use this as an opportunity.”

“Looking at the atmosphere so far, even if the Toulouse family doesn’t raise an issue, the Imperial Castle may deliberately escalate the matter and attack the principal, right? Then, of course, the successor principal… .”

The professors looked at Ismera with expectant expressions, but Ismera did not respond and only smiled faintly.

A dazzling appearance with platinum hair like a barley field, green eyes reminiscent of emeralds, and long ears.

Ismera is an elf. After the forest he lived in was burned down by the Demon King’s army, he immigrated to the human world with his surviving family members and has an unusual history of becoming a professor at an academy.

Like all elves, he is a smart person who became an advanced master in just 10 years and was appointed as a senior professor at the newly established Special Mission Academy. He is different from the dark elf Kirrin, the emperor’s parachute.

Perhaps that’s why Kirrin, along with the second princess, is also feeling extremely burdened by Ismera.

Since the former head of combat ran away and the position is vacant, the principal’s representative is the head of theory. And of course, Ismera is a pure-blooded elf in contrast to Kirrin, and her experience is also amazing.

Kirrin is not an idiot and is trying her best not to be fired, but she cannot avoid being compared to Ismera in one way or another.

So, professors in the theory department are making a wish circuit that if Kirin is cut from the imperial castle, Ismera will take the vacant position, and if Ismera’s vacancy arises, they might be the ones to take up the position.

“Everyone, please don’t act rashly. This matter is entirely up to the principal and chief combat officer to deal with. This is not a matter for our theory department to debate.”

Ismera dismissed the professors’ excited debate with a completely clueless attitude.

“This concludes the morning meeting. Well, everyone today too… .”

“Chief Professor! Senior professor!”

Ismera was just getting up from her seat when an assistant from the theory department came running in, out of breath.

“There was chaos! The Duke of Toulouse is coming to the Academy!”

# # # # #

While professors in the combat department and the theory department showed conflicting reactions.

“Now I’m dead… .”

Kirrin, who was in the principal’s office, was crouching down and muttering, her already dark skin turning even darker.

Kirin’s signature is included in the final approval column of the combat department’s education and training improvement plan, and if the Duke of Tolus is caught up in this matter, she must take full responsibility.

The Duke of Toulouse is a great family that exerts tremendous influence even within the imperial nobility. If such a family makes a loud noise, the imperial castle, which was waiting for every opportunity, will pretend to not be able to win and cut off Kirin, and Kirin will have to return to the clan’s forest and face her father.

Risking the fate of his clan, he betrayed the demon king’s army and joined the human side. Miraculously, his previous life ended with the human side winning, and his clan instantly became the emperor’s lifesaver.

Accordingly, in order to ensure that the clan was completely incorporated into the empire, her father sent Kirrin to a public academy to study and appointed her as the principal of the Special Mission Academy here.

Rather than putting my father’s efforts in vain and returning to the forest, it would be better to commit suicide here… .

“School, principal… !”

As I was feeling extremely conflicted as I looked at the dagger I had pulled out of my sleeve, the head of the administrative office came running in with a contemplative look on his face.

“Hiik!? What are you doing? Now is not the time to study memorization!”

The head of the administrative office flailed his arms as he urged Kirin, who was holding a dagger.

“The Duke of Toulouse is coming to the Academy! Ah, principal!”

The head of the administrative office screamed when he saw Kirin falling backwards with foam at the mouth.

# # # # #

When I received a sudden call and went to the front gate of the academy, the professors were already there.

At the forefront are Principal Kirrin and Senior Theory Professor Ismeraga.

“Come this way, Chief Combatant.”

Ismera happened to spot me and pointed to her side with a benevolent and beautiful smile typical of elves.

“Hello, Principal Theory. however… Are you okay, Principal?”

“Trigrams, trigrams, I think it’ll be okay… ?”

Unlike Ismera, who is as calm as fog, Principal Kirrin is trembling as if he is about to faint.

Actually, if you think about it, it’s not surprising that the two people’s reactions are different.

Kirin is afraid of the second princess, but Professor Ismera has no connection. And in the case of the Duke of Toulouse, it was probably due to the fact that he knocked out Knightley in an armed combat class.

Professor Ismera has nothing to do with that either, so he’s just acting like someone else’s business. But Kirrin is different. Because both the 2nd princess and Toluz have to take care of it themselves.

However, since not one but two of them came at the same time, it would not be strange at all if they fainted right here and now.

“I see a carriage!”

With the guards shouting, I saw a carriage coming from afar, kicking up dust.

“You are the Duke of Toulouse!” “Ugh… !”

Kirrin covered her mouth as if she was about to burst into tears, and Professor Ismera patted her on the back, telling her not to worry too much.

Then I caught a smile spreading across Ismera’s lips. It feels completely different from the good-natured smile you showed me earlier. like… like… It’s like ridicule.

But I was the only one who saw that fleeting smile as everyone was watching the duke’s carriage get closer. I need to remember that.

The carriage that had just passed the main gate came to an abrupt stop in front of the faculty. The door opened and a middle-aged man strode out. This is the Duke of Toulouse.

“Principal Kirrin!”

As the Duke of Toulouse shouted in anger, the poor Principal Kirrin stumbled and leaned on Ismera’s shoulder.

“Whenever you say you will teach your child well, what on earth is going on? What kind of crazy person would beat up a girl like that!”

“Well, that’s… .”

He felt bad for watching Kirin tremble, so he blocked the Duke’s path and shouted.

“Commander! It’s been a while!”

The Duke of Toulouse’s eyes almost popped out as he turned to me at that sound.

“What?! you you! Lieutenant Dian?!”

“That’s right!”

“This is crazy?! Why are you here?!”

“That’s right. I also never thought I would meet you here again, Commander.”

“You bastard! I thought you were searching because it suddenly disappeared!”

The Duke smiled brightly and hugged me.

What situation is this?

Ismera felt extreme embarrassment when she saw the Duke and Chief of Staff suddenly embracing each other.

I definitely thought they were going to beat up the principal and the chief combat officer and trample them… ?
