Lunarin left the teacher’s office and headed straight to the general store where Edin was located.

‘How on earth did you get caught up in such a rumor?’

It’s only been two days since I took office.

How did such a rumor become so common among teachers?

Of course, Lunarin trusted Edin.

She knows well that Edin is not the type of person to do that.

It’s been three years since Edin became an adventurer.

About a year has passed since I got to know him.

Edin has never once done anything controversial.

The only thing that could be controversial is that he’s next to the damn Claude?

However, she learned from watching him so far that even that wasn’t just to live as a parasite on him and eat his bean paste.

Rather, wouldn’t Claude be the one who gets the beans from Edin?

No matter how talented he is.

If you try to carry out A-rank monsters or A-rank requests, Edin’s presence will definitely be needed.

Even if you have great talent, there will eventually come a point when you will need a high-grade potion or consumable.

That’s why all S-rank adventurers buy high-grade potions even though they pay a lot of money.

How dare you kick the opportunity to use it for free?

He couldn’t have been such an arrogant and stupid person.

“Ha…”

Anyway, I go to Edin to find out the truth about the rumor.

“Edin, are you there?”

As I entered the general store, I saw Edin getting ready to leave.

Perhaps today, he plans to join one of the parties that go on an external field trip to obtain materials and take a material gathering class.

‘I’m sure he’s whispering to Edin.’

Students would whisper when they see Edin like that.

Perhaps even the instructor may view him unfavorably and avoid him.

“Oh, Teacher Lunalin? What’s going on?”

Do you know about the current situation or the rumors that are spreading?

Edin greeted Lunarin with a relaxed expression.

“No, I’m talking about you now…”

At that time, I was trying to explain because it seemed like he didn’t know the situation.

“Teacher Lunarin?”

“…??”

Suddenly, an unexpected person walks up the stairs leading down to the basement.

“Teacher Saela?”

That person is an elf who was an S-rank adventurer who always followed Lunalin around and bothered her.

It was Saela.

As soon as she saw him, Lunarin’s expression crumpled.

Once you see him coming out of the basement, it doesn’t look like he followed you.

Why is it coming from the basement of a general store?

That’s where Edin’s manufacturing room is located.

To help with something?

Or perhaps to persecute Edin after hearing rumors?

When Lunarin was confused about the situation.

“Hehe. Don’t worry, Teacher Lunalin. Now you have thrown away the pathetic past that was chasing you. I realized it.”

“…??”

Saela, seeing Lunarin’s rotten expression, suddenly struck a strange pose and started saying strange things.

He bent his back to 90 degrees and held out his hand to Edin, as if he was meeting a respected teacher.

That posture was like a vassal meeting the emperor or a believer worshiping a god.

“Other beauty is meaningless in front of true beauty!!”

“????”

I look at Edin wondering what this is all about.

but.

“…I don’t know why it’s like this either.”

Edin was also confused as if he didn’t understand what was happening.

#

“So, yesterday he suddenly appeared and sat down…”

“Yes.”

After hearing Edin’s story, Lunarin sighed and looked at Saela.

‘Come to think of it, this elf is crazy about beautiful things.’

Edin’s ridiculous precision.

If we consider the technical aspect as ‘beauty’, Lunalin has certainly never seen anything more neat and beautiful than that.

Even so, I never thought that I would worship this much as if I were a believer who serves a god…

“An attack on Edin is an attack on me. No, it’s worse than that! So much so that if you attack Edin, you should attack me!”

That’s why I want to stay around Edin.

To protect Edin.

“If you would give me permission, there would be no greater honor than this. I will quit my job as a teacher and dedicate my life as Edin’s escort.”

“……”

I don’t know if it’s permission or not, but he said he hasn’t been going since yesterday and is staying nearby.

He was a funny guy, Lunarin thought.

‘It was like that even when he was accusing me. ‘He seems like a troublesome guy.’

But if you think about it differently, it might not be a bad thing.

Edin has tremendous respect and worship, so if you use this to protect Edin’s surroundings.

Besides, Saella has an odd personality, so her skills are not clear.

He is a former S-rank adventurer and possesses the highest level of talent among the elf race.

He even quits being a teacher and gets a bodyguard to watch around Edin 24 hours a day.

It’s a good thing.

Honestly, this rumor is the same, because in the end, the more Edin’s talent becomes known, the more enemies will be targeting him.

Attaching an escort in advance is a good choice.

Chairman Mureos will certainly agree.

Although we would lose an excellent elemental arts and archery teacher, protecting Edin was more important than that.

Anyway, it’s not like there are no people who use S-rank level elemental arts or archery.

Even if you look for active adventurers or retired adventurers who have not become teachers, there are about 1 or 2 people in each field.

If you look at other occupations other than adventurers, there are more.

Of course, that’s assuming that crazy elf doesn’t do anything strange.

‘Anyway, I made something like this.’

Lunarin smiled as she looked at the A-rank healing potion that Edin gave her.

It was completed around the time Saella showed up yesterday, so I showed it to her.

‘I knew, but… he was really crazy.’

A rank healing potion.

It is an item so great that it can restore your hand if it is cut off.

Although it cannot restore arms, legs, or even organs.

A truly incredible item that can restore hands, feet, or parts of the body.

In order to create this, an advanced alchemist can only complete it with great effort using the highest quality ingredients and his own special preparation process.

I heard that even if you become an elder in the alchemy guild, you have to go through quite a bit of hard work.

But that.

It is made purely through technology, without any special processes or special materials.

Of course, Lunalin did not know that B rank was the limit with normal materials and methods.

But even if I didn’t know it, I knew that A-rank potions were extremely difficult to make and extremely expensive.

‘But they just made that up in a flash.’

I somewhat understood why Saela cried and worshiped her when she saw it.

If Lunarin had seen it in person, she would have been shocked and kicked her ass.

‘Chairman Mureos is going to be upset too.’

A monster that produces A-rank healing potions.

‘Isn’t that a collapse of balance?’

If you do it really well, you can even get an S-rank potion that is considered a national treasure…

At that moment, Lunalin felt dizzy.

Honestly, it’s too much for academy students.

No, it’s not excessive.

You shouldn’t use it at this level.

If you get drunk on a potion of too high a level, you may be very disappointed and end up not being able to use it when you see low-level potions later.

“It would probably be better to dilute it and sell it.”

“Um, I guess so.”

Edin calmly nodded as if he had expected it.

He also recognized that what he created was at an absurd level for academy students.

After Edin, who had low self-esteem, created an A-rank potion, he thought, ‘Maybe I’m talented?’ I felt so proud.

I also had a sense of how great something had been created.

“If you roughly dilute it and sell it to C rank, there will be about 25 units.”

If you dilute A rank with distilled water, you get 5 B ranks.

If you dilute the B rank, you get another 5 C ranks.

In other words, one A-rank healing potion can create 25 C-rank potions.

Wouldn’t that be appropriate for academy students to use?

For intermediate or lower level students, it is diluted further and D rank is okay.

“Just in case, leave at least 3 B ranks.”

“Yes, of course.”

So the two of them are talking.

“Edin made it, so it sells for a high price. I think you should get 10 gold each. With premium attached.”

Saella said with a sincere expression.

“…No, it’s sold to academy students.”

“Well, I guess that’s not true. Just as it was originally sold, it was roughly a little more than the cost of the materials…”

“No way! It was made using Edin’s magic!”

Saella passionately says that the great Edin’s work cannot be sold at such a low price.

Edin thought, ‘This elf is a bit annoying…’

#

“Is it an academy? It’s been quite a while since I came back.”

Claude stood in front of the academy’s entrance and smiled at the sight of the academy building for the first time in a long time.

Of course, it’s not like I’m lost in memories.

‘A gathering of scrappers.’

Even so, he felt a strong sense of ridicule, saying that it was a place where people weaker than him gathered to take classes.

It was like that when I was in school.

There was no one more talented than him.

Of course, he was destined to become a hero and reach S rank.

The rest of the guys who said it was Nanda Ginda were all limited to an A rank level.

Of course, there was bound to be a difference in level.

Even the teacher, who was an A-rank adventurer, almost lost to him during a sparring match.

It is said that natural talent and pride were already built into him from the time he was a student.

No, much earlier than that.

Was it when he was considered a genius in the village?

Anyway, Claude approached the entrance to enter the academy.

“Pause for a moment. What business do you have?”

A security guard stops him.

“……”

The security guard who dared to stop him was Claude, but he had no intention of causing an accident in front of the academy.

Because I have business to do here.

“This is the warrior Claude. I came here to meet someone following the instructions of the adventurer guild elders.”

While saying that, he showed me the adventurer registration certificate with the warrior title attached, and the orders given by the guild elders.

“…Okay. Could you please wait a moment?”

Probably to convey it to the chairman.

The elders of the Adventurer’s Guild sent someone.

But that person is the warrior Claude.

Claude decided to wait with great generosity.

And after a while.

“Ah, I wonder who you are looking for…”

Claude smiled and answered the guard’s question.

“Edin. This is Edin from the general store.”
