Since I accepted the invitation to teach at the Academy.

“Thank you, Grandma!”

Camilla, who had expressed her gratitude, went straight into the closet,

With the landlord gone, we had no reason to stay here, so we naturally left the castle.

“Um.”

But how do I get to the academy?

I thought I could get a general idea if I looked at it since I know how to read a map… .

“There’s no place on the map that says Academy.”

No matter how carefully you look at the map, there is no word “Academy.”

As I was tilting my head, wondering how to proceed, Elia came over with a small smile, perhaps noticing my worries.

“The Academy is in the capital of the empire.”

“Capital?”

“Yes, when you arrive, you will see a large building… You will probably know it when you see it.”

Since it is a gathering of talented people from across the empire, it would be smooth for students to gather in the capital city at the center of the empire.

Besides, even in my faint memories, I feel like I was in the capital of the empire… .

“Um.”

As I was nodding my head at the familiar place, one question suddenly occurred to me.

“Elia.”

“Yes?”

“Where are you going?”

It’s just that I don’t like the titles of warrior and saint.

As people, Elia and Lucius had developed a bit of affection for each other, perhaps because they had known each other for a long time.

So wouldn’t it be good to hear about their destination as well?

They say that annoying things are disgusting.

I never know when I might get help from them,

Maybe there’s something I can help you with.

At least the relationship on the surface should be smooth.

With that in mind, I asked about the next destination.

Elia opened her mouth with an awkward laugh.

“I don’t think we’ll be straying too far from Ellen for a while.”

“Hmm… Is that so?”

So, that means I won’t be encountering these guys again.

It’s truly mysterious how it feels good and yet refreshing at the same time.

“Yes, it seems unlikely that the jackal, who was low on mana, would have moved a long distance.”

Elia continued, casting her gaze towards Lucius.

“The warrior said that the ‘nameless one’ has a chance now that we have the weapon… .”

“Um… .”

At Elia’s words, he avoided eye contact and broke out in a cold sweat.

… Should I be honest with you right now?

The Jackal’s spatial movement would have been overflowing rather than lacking because I had directly channeled the energy.

The ‘nameless one’ they are talking about, that is, the nameless one, is a character I created hastily… .

I feel like my heart is being stabbed with guilt.

But even now, if I were to be honest, I wouldn’t have anything to say, so I can’t do it… .

Because I was just moving my lips without saying anything.

“Harang.”

Elia opened her mouth with a very serious expression.

“What is it?”

“Since you are visiting the capital, you can ask the professors at the library or academy for advice.”

Go to the library or ask your professors?

“Ah.”

Now that I think about it, there was that too.

I had completely forgotten about it because Camilla suddenly asked me to be a guest teacher at the Academy.

But even though Elia organized it on paper, I still can’t read the letters…

What should I do with this… .

After biting her lip for a while, Elia smiled and left.

“Read it when you are alone and think about it slowly.”

“Thank you.”

Well, it’ll work out somehow.

He nodded with a confident expression.

“Master, you are falling.”

“… What are you talking about when I’m not even a kid?”

He pouts at the nameless, excessive worry and turns his body, which was half-leaning out the window.

-Rumble

At that moment, the carriage shook violently as if it had stepped on a large stone.

My posture was unstable, so I naturally floated into the air.

“Wow!”

Falling down…!

Trying to assume a posture of falling in anticipation of the coming shock.

“The road is not paved, so always be careful when riding in a carriage.”

Fortunately, he was watching me the whole time,

Anonymous wrapped his arms around my waist as I was about to fall, preventing me from falling.

“… Thank you.”

“No.”

Anonymous smiled slightly and shook his head.

Nameless and I are currently on a carriage heading to the capital of the empire.

I didn’t know it at first, but Camilla, who had entered the closed building, had arranged for a carriage to take us to the academy and even a guide to guide us inside the academy in case we didn’t know our way around.

… When I first heard the old butler say that he had prepared a carriage, I felt sorry.

Sorry for the inconvenience, Camilla.

anyway.

I squinted my eyes and poked the nameless arm that was still wrapped around my waist.

“… Now let go.”

“Yes, Master.”

It’s not like there are just two of them, so I wonder how long they plan on holding each other…

I looked at the person across from me, fanning my feverish face with my hand.

She has dark brown hair and purple eyes.

A woman wearing a robe wrapped around her entire body, constantly rolling her eyes to check my expression.

“Are you okay?”

Professor Bell, the pensioner sent by Camilla to guide us from the Academy.

“Hmm, okay.”

I waved my hand slightly to reassure her,

Belle, still watching like a kitten, watched carefully.

“Why, why are you looking at me like that…?”

“Nothing.”

As I said that, I squinted my eyes and tore at the bell from head to toe.

“Hmph… !”

A very feminine body with visible curves even when wrapped in a large robe.

Sitting quietly and mumbling in a small voice stimulates the desire for protection.

I haven’t seen Belle for long, but she has the looks and personality to be really popular with the guys.

but….

Pook- I let out a sigh and glared at the nameless man.

“Why are you like that?”

“It’s nothing… .”

Everything was perfect, but that was why she was eliminated as a picky unknown bride.

You’re too tall.

It would be great if we could find an unknown bride at the Academy… .

The regret only deepened.

As time passed,

I was sitting on the carriage, just looking at the scenery outside.

“Ugh… .”

“Huh?”

Belle began to lick her lips, as if curious about something.

I turned my head slightly and looked at the nameless person,

Is this guy not interested in Belle, or is he just worried about me almost falling over earlier?

“What is it?”

“No.”

My eyes met with mine as I turned to the anonymous person.

… Since when have you been watching this?

I was a little curious about it, but that wasn’t its original purpose.

“Bell.”

I looked back at Bell, who was still biting her lips.

“Yes, net? Oops- I bit my tongue… .”

“…”

How is he a professor at the academy?

At this point, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to give directions properly.

… I guess it’ll be okay.

He continued, trying to ignore it.

“… If you have something to say, say it.”

“Ah… Yes, thank you.”

Belle nodded slightly, perhaps encouraged by my words, and opened her mouth to face the nameless man.

“Hey, over there! Are you… that, Master?”

“Huh?”

Master? Me? Why are you looking at me like that and asking me that?

He tilted his head in doubt and pointed at me with his index finger.

“Ah, no, not the disciple, but the teacher over here… .”

Bell shook his head slightly as if confirming the kill and pointed to the nameless person with both hands.

“… Anonymous sees you and calls you a teacher?”

My eyebrows twitched.

Didn’t this guy just see Anonymous calling me Master?

Belle, who saw my reaction, covered the corner of her mouth and opened her mouth as if she was genuinely surprised.

“Net…? Wasn’t it…?”

Cold sweat began to drip down Belle’s forehead.

… I don’t think that was meant to be sarcastic.

Still, it could be misunderstood.

It’s true that my appearance has become fixed at some point, and I look younger than my age.

Since Myeong has grown so much and looks exactly like someone in their mid-20s, anyone who sees us for the first time would think Myeong looks older.

Yeah, that’s understandable.

but….

“Have you never seen an anonymous person call me master?”

This is the question.

Unless you have short-term memory loss, you can’t forget?

As I tilted my head with a questioning expression, Bell scratched his head and opened his mouth.

“Ehehehe… I, I thought you two were joking… .”

“There’s nothing else to joke about… .”

Belle flinched at my insistent words and began to squirm.

“That, that’s why people at the academy are doing similar pranks and stuff… .”

“… Is that so?”

It seems like life wasn’t easy for him either.

I felt sorry for no reason and quickly avoided eye contact.

Belle seemed to get angry at my reaction, and for the first time she raised her voice and opened her mouth as if to refute me.

“Oh, it’s okay! I said I was just joking because I wanted to get to know you all… !”

“Yeah… .”

That idiot, no.

I just nodded, not wanting to hurt Belle’s innocent-looking heart.

… will I be able to arrive at the academy properly?
