Chapter Index

    A devil who finished the first day of school without any break… no, Luke.

    “I hope you enjoyed today’s class.”

    “That, that’s right… !”

    Students who were exhausted from the first period nodded their heads reluctantly.

    Although the lessons from the creator of space magic were really helpful.

    Now I really wanted to go have lunch.

    “Then see you next time. If you have any questions, please come to the lab.”

    Luke bowed his head and came down from the podium.

    There was a look of pride on his face.

    I always thought about it when I was an undergraduate.

    Why on earth do professors end classes early even though they still have time left?

    Do students like that too?

    Don’t you all think the tuition fee is a waste?

    So, at that time, I went to see a professor who was known as the honey professor.

    -Professor, why do you keep ending lectures early?

    -Uh, yeah? Wouldn’t it be nice if you finished early?

    -How could that be? My hard-earned money is evaporating. From now on, I hope you will fill all the class hours.

    -No, you don’t even need to take the class. And since you’re from the Bucklin family and have the money for education…

    -But shouldn’t students do their duty? Personally, I wish there were no break time…

    -Stop it, you crazy bastard!

    In the end, Anne, unable to tolerate Luke’s antics, beat him up and dragged him away.

    The doubts I had back then still haven’t subsided.

    “Ha, haha… You’ve been like that since long ago… .”

    The second-year students who had been following me, saying they had questions, looked at each other and laughed awkwardly.

    “In the end, I was proven right. The class atmosphere is also passionate and great.”

    “Right… ?”

    Actually, my body is tired.

    There was nothing wrong with what Luke said.

    Just one day.

    Even though I only heard the concept of spatial magic, it felt like a new world had opened up.

    “If you have any questions in the future, please come here.”

    Luke arrived at the lab and pointed to the nameplate.

    [Luke Bucklin & Elin Bucklin]

    A joint research lab specially prepared by the president at Elin’s request.

    Students who had never seen a lab like this before followed us in with their mouths wide open.

    “Professor Elin will probably be there too, so let’s say hello… .”

    Luke stopped as he came inside.

    I expected Elin to arrive first.

    however.

    “Professor. Please. I beg you. I’d rather do another assignment… .”

    “Or how about an evaluation criterion? If I do other tasks, I can’t maintain the mana sphere… .”

    I had no idea that third-year students would be crowding around Ellin’s seat, begging with desperate expressions.

    * * * * *

    “What’s going on?”

    Luke went straight to Elin’s seat.

    I began to worry that I might have caused an accident on the first day of class.

    “Oh, honey.”

    Elin, who had been dealing with the students with a troubled expression, happily shook her stupid hair.

    “Because my class assignments seem too difficult.”

    Ellen briefly explained what happened in class.

    As it was an OT, it ended with just a self-introduction and a brief curriculum.

    There is only one assignment for the entire semester.

    The students’ level is so high that there is nothing to teach them.

    “Ohhh… !”

    “Why am I not a third year student…?”

    The second-year students who followed Luke looked at their seniors with envious eyes.

    On the first day of school, I taught the entire first period without any breaks.

    Didn’t the seniors say that class was over a while ago?

    “… But why are you still here?”

    A question that a student had at that time.

    It was strange that he was still begging in the lab when class had already ended.

    “Is it really that hard to just maintain a mana sphere… .”

    Ellen immediately answered the question.

    He simply gave us an assignment to maintain the mana sphere until the end of the semester.

    So that it doesn’t turn off even when resting or sleeping.

    If the shape shakes, it gets a big deduction, and if it goes out even for a moment, it gets an F… .

    “Sigh… I’m glad I’m not a third year student.”

    “What should I do, seniors? I heard that class is worth a lot of credits… .”

    The second-year students’ public opinion changed in an instant.

    You say it’s one assignment per semester.

    In fact, it was a task that had to be done continuously without a single second of rest until the end of the semester.

    “That seems a bit harsh.”

    “… Really?”

    Even Luke sympathizes.

    Ellen’s hair stood on end.

    “That’s the only way a honey can do it.”

    It is true that Luke had Elin maintain the mana sphere from the beginning.

    But that was because he knew of Elin’s natural talent.

    Even though he was under a curse at that time, he still carried out the instructions perfectly.

    “It would be difficult to set evaluation criteria, so it would be better to change the assignment a little.”

    “Yeah, I got it… .”

    Elin’s stupid hair has withered.

    I thought it would be helpful.

    I became gloomy because it was so harsh.

    “Ahhh… !”

    “As expected, it’s Professor Luke… !”

    Of course, it was no use to the third year student who had been asking Elin for over two hours.

    “There is no one greater than Professor Luke in the Academy.”

    “The savior has finally come down… .”

    They just wanted to express their endless gratitude to Luke for saving their grades with just one word.

    Luke smiled as he watched the third-years trying to get to the temple.

    “Of course. Where can you find a professor as kind as me?”

    “????”

    “That… Yes?”

    This time, it was the second-year students’ turn to be shocked by the unbelievable statement.

    Even so, being the kindest is a little… .

    The astonished second graders and the worshipful third graders.

    At that moment, the seniors and juniors did not understand each other.

    * * * * *

    “Haa… Now I can focus on other classes.”

    “How many classes are you taking this semester?”

    “9.”

    “… Are you a third year student?”

    After the third-year students left the lab, shedding tears of joy or sadness.

    “So what question did you come with me to ask?”

    Luke turned to the second-years who followed him.

    “Oh, Professor. Do you have class time in the future? ”

    “You must be really passionate students since you came all the way here. Feel free to ask any questions.”

    “… … ”

    In fact, the second-year students were so passionate that they didn’t come looking for me after class.

    ‘What should I do?’

    ‘What should I do? I’ve come this far, so I have to say something.’

    Second-year students exchanging glances.

    Their main purpose was to ask for a reduction in class hours as they felt they were too long.

    ‘Then you tell me.’

    ‘… I can’t do it.’

    ‘I can’t do it either…!’

    But, on my way here, I heard stories about Luke’s past.

    I realized it when I saw the expression on his face that was truly proud.

    ‘He’s crazy about magic… .’

    That it is impossible to break the will of a madman who studies hard with a truly pure heart.

    “Everyone?”

    “Oh, yeah? Uh… So… .”

    “I have to go to lunch soon. Feel free to ask questions.”

    Luke spoke softly to the whispering second-years.

    It was because I thought that he must have hesitated to ask the question.

    Luke also often thought to himself in the past, ‘Can I touch this already?’

    “There’s something I don’t quite understand about space magic… .”

    Eventually, one of the second-year students who had been observing opened his mouth.

    “Yes. I will explain it to you in detail.”

    Crying while eating mustard.

    I ended up getting an extra 30 minutes of instruction from Luke.

    * * * * *

    “Thank you for your hard work… .”

    I’m so happy to supplement the concept.

    After sending off the students whose corners of their mouths were twitching.

    “I’m hungry.”

    Elin, who had been quietly listening from the side, hugged Luke’s arm.

    “I’m sorry. I can’t just send the students who followed me here.”

    Luke apologizes while patting Elin’s head.

    I didn’t want to starve though.

    I couldn’t help it because it reminded me of my undergraduate days.

    -Are you there, Professor?

    -Oh, what’s going on? Sit down here.

    When I went to see the professor with questions, he was usually very welcoming.

    Luke was an unprecedented genius.

    Because everyone wanted to take him to their school.

    -Professor. Then why was this part written like that?

    -Where do you keep getting my thesis? And please guarantee me some meal times!

    But if you keep the professor for more than 6 hours.

    Even the professors who harbored evil intentions couldn’t help but be terrified.

    “Now that I’m a professor, I can’t ignore my students.”

    “That’s right… .”

    “Let’s go to the cafeteria first. You’re quite late for your appointment.”

    Exactly.

    Luke opened a portal by snapping his fingers.

    Let’s go into the cafeteria after a long time.

    “What are you doing that keeps you so late?”

    “What happened…?”

    Lanian and Bena, who had arrived early, were waiting.

    Today is the day that Lanian bought me a meal to celebrate my debut as a professor.

    Well, it’s just a cafeteria, after all.

    We decided to have lunch together with our senior professor, Lanian, and her attached teaching assistant, Bena.

    “Nothing much. I was a little late because I was taking questions from students.”

    “Huh? There are already people here asking questions?”

    “Yes. Doesn’t it look good?”

    “Well, that’s true, but… .”

    Something is strange.

    Lanian scratched his head, thinking about that.

    “It’s been a while, Gong… No. Elin.”

    “Hello.”

    Elin and Bena hugged each other after meeting for the first time in a long time.

    “Ha… Elin is still so soft.”

    “You’re still uselessly big.”

    “What, why are you saying that…!”

    Bena flinched at the sight of Elin, who had her hair raised threateningly.

    Bena was a really good friend though.

    Her height and chest, which were far greater than Elin’s, were always the object of jealousy.

    “You’re already married… .”

    “That’s true.”

    But it didn’t hit the heavy lumps of fat like it used to.

    Elin is already married.

    Because we are planning to have a child.

    The sharp, erect hairs fluttered softly.

    “Is the food here good?”

    “Yes, really. Honestly, if it wasn’t delicious, I wouldn’t be like this… Huh.”

    Bena, who was about to reveal her honest feelings, covered her mouth.

    It was because I realized that Lanian could hear me right in front of me.

    “Oh, oh well. Anyway, it’s really delicious. You can look forward to it!”

    “Really?”

    “There are quite a few menus, but I will recommend you one. Since it is your first time, I will recommend the Academy Set… .”

    Elin enjoys the food that Bena picks out for her.

    “This still exists.”

    “How many years has it been since you graduated?”

    Luke ordered his nostalgic meal and took a seat.

    “So… Those of you who took the first class? How did you feel?”

    While the food is coming out.

    Lanian asked about the recent activities of her junior who had become a new professor.

    “I was satisfied. How was it, honey?”

    “I wasn’t bad either.”

    “Oh… Really? I didn’t do as I wanted during my first class. How was it?”

    Lanian asked as if it was unexpected.

    Luke and Elin told us what happened in class today.

    Let me explain all the strange things that only the two of you know.

    “… What did the kids do wrong?”

    Lanian blinked in confusion.

    “Why are you both bullying the kids from the first class?”

    “Yes? When did I bully anyone?”

    “I’ve never really bullied anyone.”

    “Oh my… .”

    Lanian put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.

    “I didn’t harass undergraduate students, I just harassed graduate students.”

    Hearing that confidently being said right next to the attachment assistant.

    “… … ”

    Bena swallowed her tears quietly.

    Now that I look at it, I ended up having dinner with three of the Academy’s evil professors… .
