It was surprisingly quiet after the night infiltration class.

I thought he would make a fuss about Knightley fainting and being taken to the infirmary before being able to enter the academy, but the students just admired him, feared him, or despised him behind his back, as usual.

This is all thanks to the Mayan priest and Professor Dian.

The loud-mouthed Mayan priest did not tell anyone about what happened at the infirmary, and Professor Dian spread the understandable rumor that ‘Knightley was so advanced that he took a separate in-depth course.’

Because of this, Knightley was able to continue his academy life as usual. But not everything can be the same as before.

“Professor. You deliberately troubled me.”

At the infirmary that night, Knightley, who came to his senses after being treated by a holy priest, asked Professor Dian.

“You made me go to an absurd place to break my nose.”

“Is that possible? If that was your intention, there are many easier ways.”

“Then why on earth are you like this?”

“That’s because this is everyday life for the agents you want to become so much.”

With a gentle smile, Dian told Knightley what the agents in the field do.

Knightley’s expression changed moment by moment as he listened to the story. From interest and interest to astonishment and fear.

“Really… Are you saying that you do things like that? ?”

“I can’t be specific, but yes. And this is a normal mission, and the ‘special’ agent you’re talking about is a little tougher.”

“How could that be…? . No matter how special you are… It’s the same person. It’s not a polymorph dragon… .”

“Haha!”

As Professor Dian laughed out loud, the Mayan priest who was writing the patient’s diary raised his head.

“Please be quiet at the medical office.”

“Sorry, priest”

Professor Dian slightly bowed his head to the Mayan priest and looked back at Knightley with a low, breathless smile.

“Like you said, we are the same person. If you learn from me, you can do it too. Of course, you have to be willing to do that. And today was really a test of sorts to see if you were determined.”

Knightley was unable to answer readily and kept his mouth shut.

Steep terrain that climbed and fell depending on moonlight. A tree branch hit my face, and my charcoal camouflage has long since been erased by pouring sweat.

My thigh muscles felt like they were going to burst, and I could feel the taste of metal in my mouth as my breath filled up.

It was extreme physical pain and mental fatigue that I had never experienced before in my life.

You have to do these things once a week? I… Can I do it… ?

Crunch, crunch, Knightley bit her lip when the sound of the Maya priest writing down the patient’s diary became unusually loud.

You have to do it. We’ve come too far to back out now.

I absolutely have to go as an agent in the field. Otherwise, my father will use his power to somehow get me out of the family.

Since I ran away once, it would be impossible to run away a second time, and in the end, I would have to enter into an arranged marriage that I had no intention of making. That’s not enough.

And above all, when I saw Professor Dian’s smile, a strange competitive spirit began to boil over.

Until now, Knightley has never been below anyone else.

Everyone bowed down to please Knightley, and no one did anything against his wishes.

Professor Dian thought so too.

A man with a pale appearance who always smiles at everything.

Knightley thought he could manipulate the professor as he did with others.

But that was a big mistake.

I thought I had captured Professor Dian, but it was Knightley who was defeated.

For Professor Dian, there is a solid invisible wall and he feels helpless and unable to overcome it.

It was a miserable and shameful feeling he had never felt before, and that made Knightley angry.

I wanted to make the smile disappear from that handsome professor’s face. I wanted to embarrass myself like it did everyone else.

I want to jump over that human and trample on him!!

In order to do that, he needs to work hard to receive private lessons, but in reality, that person is just a joke among the students. How pathetic!

This is disloyalty in contract performance. I need to make a formal complaint.

“Ugh… !”

Knightley, who was walking towards Diane, was pushed by a group of students who had joined from somewhere and almost fell.

“What! You’re not looking straight?!”

However, the students don’t even seem to know that Knightley is there because they are busy looking at Diane.

“Get out of the way! Let it pass!”

I tried to dig through the gap, but it was impossible for Knightley to get through the crowd alone.

Instead, he was hit by someone’s elbow, causing him to stumble and be thrown out.

Knightley, who had raised his eyes in bewilderment, immediately turned around.

It seems difficult to approach Dian right now, so I’ll have to go to the professor’s office in person later.

With the dwarven combat equipment professor Kazadar interfering instead of interfering, the construction inside the shopping center progressed at a tremendous speed.

In the end, construction was completed in less than a week and stores were lined up to open.

A hair salon, a bakery, a bathhouse, a general store, several restaurants, and, most importantly, a dessert cafe.

We haven’t yet filled the two buildings designated as shopping malls, but that can be done gradually.

Some floors were decided to be used as practice rooms for the theory department.

The practice center is mainly a store that sells school supplies and items needed for practice, and its management is exclusively managed by one of the professors in the theory department.

Students are then divided into groups and take turns running the store after work.

Anyway, in this way, the first round of shopping mall construction was completed and an event was held.

A podium set up on the road with two commercial buildings facing each other.

At a gathering of all faculty, students, and store owners, Principal Kirrin stood up on the podium and cleared his throat.

“Eh, that… Hello, this is Principal Kirrin Nemera.”

The voice of Kirrin, raised with magic by magic response professor Orendi, resonated with over a thousand people.

“Today is the first day the shopping mall arrived at our Special Mission Academy. Uh, I hope these changes make your school life richer. And uh… .”

Principal Kirrin hesitated, then pointed to me standing right in front of the podium.

Oh my, principal. Don’t do that.

“Professor Dian, the chief combat officer here, made a particularly great contribution. If it wasn’t for Professor Dian… .”

“Wow!!”

Even before Kirrin’s principal finished speaking, the students cheered.

Principal Kirrin came down from the podium with a shy smile, and Magic Response Professor Orendi waved his hand brilliantly and set off a firecracker spell over the heads of the crowd.

“Dian!Dian!Dian!”

Pabang- Pabang- I had no choice but to wave to the students as they chanted my name amidst colorful magic fireworks pouring down.

“Someone would think that the head professor is the principal. Oh my, what a mistake.”

Infiltration Professor Lina glanced at Kirin at a distance and covered her mouth.

“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.

“How about a cafe for us too, Senior Professor?”

“That’s good.”

When one of the theory department professors asked, Professor Ismera smiled.

“But I took a quick look at it earlier, and the desserts on the display stand were so pretty and appetizing that even I, a vegetarian, was drooling.”

“Ah, haha… . I think it would be better not to go… .”

“Professor! Professor Dian! Wait a minute!”

As soon as the event ended, Knightley pushed people away and called out Professor Dian. It was to request an interview.

Instead of being conceited just because I gained some popularity, shouldn’t I start taking private lessons quickly? I’m thinking of strongly protesting that this is a violation of the contract.

However, Professor Dian disappeared from Knightley’s sight as the large Professor Brogue pushed his back.

“No! Stop!”

Getting pushed around by the crowd, Knightley continued to move forward.

Since construction of the shopping mall began, Knightley has not had a chance to meet Professor Dian properly.

Professor Dian was not in the professor’s office because he was busy talking with students or snooping around the construction site.

That extremely outgoing and sociable person has never been alone for a single moment, so even when Knightley tried to talk to him, he gave up.

Because private lessons were a secret between the two of us, third parties should not be allowed in.

So, as soon as today’s event was over, I tried to catch Professor Dian on his return and at least make an appointment for a meeting… !

Knightley somehow made his way through the crowd and had to stop.

Professor Dian was sitting at an open-air table in a crowded dessert cafe. Along with other professors and assistants in the Department of Combat.

Knightley, who thought for a moment while watching Diane laughing and talking, soon made up her mind and walked away.

“Hey, Dian Church… .”

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

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

Knightley was about to approach and open his mouth when Dean got up and entered the cafe.

I was trying to follow it in, but suddenly Professor Brog, an orc, stood up and the path was completely blocked.

To make matters worse, the bell rang to signal the start of class, and Knightley had to turn around, biting his lip.

Why on earth is it so difficult to talk to people when we’re in the same academy?!

Isn’t that person tired? How can he do that all day long? You seem like a crazy person.

Knightley, who was walking to the lecture hall with a huff, suddenly had a brilliant idea and stopped.

okay… . If you are busy at work… We can meet after work, right?

Why didn’t I think of that until now… ?

Late that night.

One student left the dormitory wearing a cape.

The student, who was even wearing a hood, looked around and quickly hid himself in the shadow of a building.

After observing the movements for a moment, I move to the shadow of the next building, and then to the shadow of the next building.

After crossing stepping stones, the student arrived at the faculty area on the south side of the academy.

The faculty area is a sort of small village within the academy, with a few dormitories and houses for professors and married people.

Knightley, who was crouching under the sign at the entrance to the area, took a moment to gauge the direction, then crouched down and ran quickly.

Under the authority of the graduating class president, the location of Professor Dian’s house has already been identified through various channels.

I think it’s probably a two-story single-family house over there.

On the way there, Knightley was worried that Dean had invited the professors over and was having a barbecue in the garden.

But fortunately, no such commotion was heard anywhere in the district, let alone Professor Dian’s house.

Knightley, who arrived at the front door of the house, checked that the name plate read ‘Dean, Senior Combat Professor,’ and pressed himself against the wall.

First, let’s look at the situation inside and then ring the doorbell. It would be difficult if there were other students or professors.

Knightley, who was carefully sticking his head out over the wall, was startled by a strange sound coming from somewhere and his body became stiff.

Crunch, crunch, crunch. It was coming from next to Knightley, as if a pen was writing on paper.

“Aaaa!!”

Knightley slowly turned his head to the side and ended up screaming.

Maya, a sacred priest who must have been lodging and eating at the infirmary, was standing there.

The Mayan priest climbed up using a straight foundation stone that he had obtained from somewhere, glanced at the inside of the wall, and was diligently writing something in the journal in his hand.

That… Maybe it’s a patient at the medical center… ?

As Knightley screamed, the Mayan priest looked back at Knightley with indifferent eyes and jumped off the cornerstone.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he put the patient’s log inside his priest’s uniform and walked away at a brisk pace… ?

“Master! There’s a strange noise outside! There must have been a thief!”

At that time, a girl’s cry and pounding footsteps were heard from inside, and the front door burst open.

“You’re a thief!”

Professor Dian’s maid, Olivia, quickly looked around, holding a cast iron pan in her hand, and made eye contact with Knightley, who was sitting on the wall.

“En… ?”

“Ah… .”

Knightley and Olivia looked at each other, unable to continue speaking.

“Hey, Ollysia. Don’t make a fuss. Do you think thieves will break into the academy?”

Lately, Dian strolled out.

“Probably a cat in heat in the spring… Not… .”

“Ah… Hello professor… .”

Knightley awkwardly greeted Dian, whose eyes were wide.
