In front of the academy,

I feel like I’m shrinking for no reason when I see that huge building in front of me.

But that won’t work.

I already have a complex about being short and looking seriously young for my age, so wouldn’t I be ignored if I looked goofy like Belle next to me?

“… I feel like I’m really hurt.”

You need to have a little confidence.

I closed my eyes slowly and took a deep breath.

“After… .”

After counting to three in my head, I opened my eyes wide and shouted.

Who am I?

“Academy Guest Teacher.”

When I say it like this, I feel more confident and my mood improves.

It is not for nothing that they say that a place makes a person.

After nodding his head in pride,

I stepped into the entrance of the academy, munching on strawberries.

* * *

Bell, who was guiding us, would get lost and go around in circles, or take a different path every now and then because of a good smell.

Belle, who had little faith in herself until she arrived at the academy.

“It seems like someone else… .”

“… Is that so? I don’t know… .”

I wonder if Camilla introduced me for no reason.

Once I arrived at the academy, I was able to move around easily without any trouble.

“Professor Bell! Hello!”

“Yes, yes… Hello… .”

In addition, is it well-received among students and staff?

Everyone he passed by smiled and greeted Belle.

“Hah… .”

Of course, Bell, the person involved, didn’t seem too pleased with their approach.

“Professor! Goodbye!”

“Yes, net… .”

Belle waved her hand with an awkward smile that anyone could see.

As soon as the student who had greeted me disappeared, I let out a deep sigh.

“… This, this is why I’m stuck in the studio.”

Belle spoke in a grumbling tone, her lips sticking out.

Her feeble shoulders, briefly visible, were not spitting out soulless words,

It proves that you are speaking only the truth.

I also patted her shoulder lightly, thinking that I somehow understood her feelings.

“… Cheer up.”

Belle, who had been crying so hard, seemed to be touched by my words.

He covered his mouth with both hands and his eyes sparkled.

“Harangniim… .”

Belle, who said this and buried her head in my chest,

For some reason, Bell’s actions gave me goosebumps, so I reached out to block him.

“Don’t get stuck.”

“Oh, yes.”

He sighed deeply at the sight of Belle looking dumbfounded, then looked around and opened his mouth.

“How much further do we have to go?”

How big is this academy?

It feels like I’ve been walking for an hour, but I just can’t seem to get there.

He had a question and asked Belle.

“Ah… .”

Belle’s eyes started rolling around as she opened her mouth slightly in surprise,

Soon he started scratching his head and laughing ‘hehehe’.

“Ji, I think it passed… .”

“What.”

He grabbed his pounding head and glared at Bell.

You passed by?

What is the confidence that has allowed you to move forward without hesitation until now?

Even though he didn’t open his mouth to meet my gaze, he seemed to have grasped the situation.

Belle opened her mouth, keeping an eye on me.

“That, that… I was in a hurry because I didn’t want to make eye contact with the students… .”

“… Yeah, well.”

That could be the case.

Didn’t it take longer to get here?

Puk- He let out a sigh and patted Belle on the shoulder to comfort her, who must have been heartbroken.

“Okay, then where should I go?”

“That, that’s… .”

Belle hesitates to speak for some reason.

Feeling frustrated with him, I urged him on, putting more strength into the arm that was patting his shoulder.

“Ouch, och, I’ll tell you.”

‘Seeing…’ Belle muttered softly, stopped sobbing, avoided my gaze, and opened her mouth.

“The first person who came in, you have to go to the entrance… .”

“… ?”

Wait, is that the entrance?

I don’t even know what my expression is like, but one thing is for sure, it won’t be good.

Belle saw me and flinched, then she shook her body.

He flailed his arms, sweating profusely.

“Bo, the main building is near the entrance, of course…!”

“…”

I never dreamed that after Camilla, I would have a moment when I would want to have a chestnut this badly.

He tried to calm his trembling fists and put a smile on his face.

“… Then, Bell.”

“net… ?”

“Why didn’t you stop at the beginning?”

“town-”

“… This year?”

Bell’s mouth was shut tightly.

I tried to force her mouth open by reaching out,

He just shook his head, perhaps expressing his determination not to open his mouth.

“Answer me!”

“Ugh!”

Bell and I continued to argue for a while,

Anonymous looked at us with a somewhat subtle expression.

* * *

In front of the wooden door,

Seeing the sign that says “Principal’s Office” proudly hanging above it, it seems like I’ve come to the right place… .

“… I hope I came to the right place?”

“Isn’t that right…?”

There are things Bell has done so far,

Since I don’t really believe it, I naturally start to doubt it.

I squinted my eyes and stared at the bell intently.

“Of course… !”

Belle, who was shaking, shook her head so quickly that her face was no longer visible.

“Hmm, okay.”

I’m confident to this extent, isn’t it right?

That’s enough teasing.

Sigh- After smiling, he opened the door to the principal’s office.

“Who is there-”

“Hahaha! In the darkness that seems like eternity… .”

-widely

I hurriedly closed the door, feeling like I had seen something I shouldn’t have.

… I think I came to the wrong place.

I turned my creaking head and looked at the bell.

But just like me,

Bell also kept tilting his head as if he didn’t understand the situation.

We were looking at each other like that for a long time.

-Squeak

The door opens slowly,

The woman who had been in an odd position until just now poked her head out through the gap in the slightly opened door.

“… Who are you?”

“Ah, um.”

The expression of a woman who seems to be indifferent,

But the sweat on her forehead and her flushed face proved that it was indeed the owner of that voice.

I was speechless for some reason, and after mumbling for a while, I finally opened my mouth.

“That person came as Camilla’s representative.”

“Oh, yes, can you wait a moment?”

“Hmm, okay.”

The woman nodded and quickly closed the door,

There was a crashing, shattering sound beyond the thin wooden wall.

He looked at the nameless person, the only normal person here, including me, and pointed towards the door.

“Is that really okay…?”

“I don’t know… .”

The anonymous person simply furrowed his brow with a truly subtle expression.

Hmm, it seems like we have similar thoughts.

“… The Academy is really not normal.”

“That’s true… .”

The anonymous nodded his head.

“I, I’m completely normal… ?”

Belle cried out in frustration.

* * *

The door opens again,

A neatly dressed woman faced us with a smile.

“Welcome to our Royce Academy.”

“… Yeah, nice to meet you.”

I greeted her appropriately and examined her closely.

Burning red,

Likewise, strong red eyes.

Is he a span taller than me?

Traces of training that cannot be hidden beyond the well-tailored suit are visible.

“Thank goodness, my name is Anna, and I am the headmaster of the academy.”

Anna, reaching out to me,

I also extended my hand, since I had no reason to refuse.

“This is Cheonharang, who came in place of Camilla.”

Two hands held together,

I squinted my eyes and looked at her danjeon as if gauging her.

The amount of internal energy is slightly less than Camilla’s.

but.

‘The bowl is unusually large?’

Although the vessel that could hold the inner energy was broken here and there,

In terms of size, it surpasses Camilla.

There are two cases that can be considered here.

If you do your luck cooking in the wrong way, your talent will rot.

Another thing that has already reached a high level,

If the danjeon is destroyed through some kind of incident such as an injury.

…which side are you on?

He let go of the hand he was holding, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Anna.

Likewise, right after letting go of his hand, Anna’s eyes widened in surprise and she muttered softly.

“The world is indeed vast.”

Anna nodded, smiled pleasantly, and walked forward guiding us.

“Please take a seat, I’ll serve you some tea.”

“… Thank you.”

Me and Anonymous were guided to our seats.

Belle kept looking around, wondering if she was uncomfortable being in the same space as the principal.

Anna saw him, smiled faintly, and opened her mouth.

“Professor Bell, you can go back. Isn’t class coming up soon?”

Words that seemed to be spoken with consideration for Belle, no matter who saw them.

“Oh, no… That’s… .”

However, Belle, who heard those words, was busy rolling her eyes and sweating profusely.

“Is there a problem?”

Anna, who had a question about this, tilted her head and opened her mouth.

“Oh, no… Hehe, I guess I was mistaken… !”

Belle, who smiled awkwardly and scratched her head, slowly moved her feet and soon threw herself out the door.

“I’ll go in first… ?”

-widely

The door closed before Chae could even reply.

Anna, who smiled awkwardly as well, opened her mouth as if to defend Belle.

“I’m sorry, our Professor Bell is very shy… .”

“I know, don’t worry.”

I waved my hand lightly at Anna and lifted my teacup.

“Then let’s get straight to the point.”

“Yes, then let’s start with the class schedule… .”

The boring story began.

* * *

Belle felt good after leaving the principal’s office.

“Hehehe.”

The reason is that all the people he was with were people he was afraid of.

Every time I talked to Harang, there was a man who was my disciple who glared at me fiercely.

More than anything, whenever he was with Anna, his boss, his tension would somehow reach the roof.

Anyway, that is now a thing of the past.

Finally alone, Belle was happily walking to her lab when suddenly…

A thought occurred to me.

“… But wasn’t today Harang’s first class?”

I didn’t open my mouth earlier because I was hesitant, but

I never said anything because I always gave wrong answers.

‘I don’t think so… .’

Belle nodded and decided to think as positively as possible.

Gun gun- He headed to his lab.

“Huh.”

Bell felt good.

* * *

Belle wanted to cry so badly.

“Ah, no… Today was the right day, after all… .”

Bell, who catches the attention of many students.

She swallowed her tears as she recalled what had happened just ten minutes ago.

* * *

Belle, who had entered her lab in a good mood, was gathering her reference materials to prepare for her next class when she heard a knock on her lab door.

“Professor Bell?”

“… Yes?”

Anxiety coursed through Belle’s body,

Bell slowly opened the door and faced the student who had come to see him.

“Ah, Professor.”

“Yes, yes… .”

The student continued speaking, handing Bell a piece of paper with his class schedule written on it.

“Where did the professor who was supposed to come today go?”

“… Yes?”

“Yes?”

Belle checked her schedule and felt dizzy.

There, in 5 minutes,

The names of himself, who was in the class, and Camilla, who was not there, were written down.

“… Ah.”

It’s ruined.

Belle, who had fainted, was dragged into the classroom by the students.
