I Became an Unknown Professor at the Academy

“Everyone has worked hard, and I hope you all have a good time. Haha!”

Chairman Ahn Hyundo laughed heartily and left the conference room first. A heavy silence fell over the conference room after he left.

Even though the meeting was over, everyone remained in their seats, looking at me. I looked at Yoon Do-sik, who was sweating profusely and standing like a statue next to me. I just looked at him and quietly got up and turned around.

-Ding.

The elevator door opened, and I stepped inside.

“Let’s go together!”

Yoon Do-sik, who was halfway out the door, put his hand in and opened it again. He approached me, panting.

“You have a temper…”
“Shut up.”

I refused because there was no obligation.
It’s strange that they’re looking at me just because of that.

“Damn, I’m still a bit disappointed. I was curious how much she would bid for you.”
“….”
“I’m talking about the executioner.”
“…”
“With those weird glasses on, he looks scary and funny at the same time.”

Yoon Do-sik pointed to my glasses and chuckled.
He was probably the only human I’ve met who didn’t find me intimidating.

-Ding.

The door opened, and Yoon Do-sik and I stepped out of the elevator at the same time.

“Summer is definitely approaching. It’s past 7 o’clock, and the sun is still up.”

Yoon Do-sik kept talking as he walked next to me until we left the main building. Ever since he started hanging out with Jayden, he’s been more talkative. It’s an unwelcome change.

“Then contact me whenever you need something.”

Yoon Do-sik finally left me as we reached the fork in the road leading to the parking lot. I watched him walk away and then headed towards the mansion.

“Are you back?”

As I was changing my shoes at the entrance, Claire, wearing an apron, came over and took the artifact from my hand.

“Baek Hana is…”
“She’s in the bedroom.”

Using my magic, I could see that the bedroom Claire mentioned was not Baek Hana’s room, but mine. I entered the study with Claire following behind and opened the bedroom door.

“Hmm~”

-Beep… Piuuung…

The first thing that greeted me was the mischievous girl sleeping on the bed, stretched out, and the little fairy sleeping on top of her in the same position.

“Dinner…”
“Not yet, I was waiting until Professor comes back…”
“I’ll wake them up and go out, so please prepare.”
“Yes.”

Claire glanced at the two mischievous fairies lying on the bed for a moment, then put down the artifact in her hand and headed to the kitchen.

I hid the artifact, then sat on the edge of the bed.

“Baek Hana.”
“Hmm…”

As I called her name, she moved her small mouth and turned her head towards me. Her bangs, which needed to be trimmed, were hanging down to the side.

I reached out and gently brushed her bangs aside.

“Hihi~”

Every time I brushed her hair with my hand, she smiled foolishly. Watching her, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

‘I could have just let it go…’

If she hadn’t assaulted the apprentice priest of the God of Luck, she wouldn’t have been disciplined, and she could have spent time in her own room instead of the dormitory. However, even as I had these thoughts, my lips kept curling upwards.

The fact that this foolish-looking girl in front of me had gotten angry for my sake made me feel good.

“Baek Hana.”
“Hmm…?”

As I called her name a little more forcefully, her tightly closed eyelids slowly opened. Soon, my reflection appeared in her transparent blue eyes.

“Hwiin…”
“What is it?”
“Hwiin~”

Baek Hana blinked a few times and stared at my face for a moment before spreading her arms wide and hugging me. And.

-Bang?!

The fairy who had been sleeping on Baek Hana’s stomach rolled off and got stuck between Baek Hana and the bed.

“Ah!”

Baek Hana, who had been rubbing her cheek on my thigh with a languid expression, suddenly jumped up in surprise at the fairy’s scream.

“Are you okay?!”

-Peeiik…!!

The fairy, who looked more surprised than Baek Hana, puffed out both cheeks and patted Baek Hana’s palm with her small hand before leaving the bedroom, probably to find Claire.

“Ugh…”

Baek Hana looked up at me with a face that suggested she had done something terrible.

“Oh, what should I do?”
“You clean up your own mess.”
“Ugh!”

As I got up from my seat, the girl quickly bent down and hugged my waist. I used my magic to pick her up and put her down on the bed.

“Get off me.”
“Ah…”

I gently released the girl’s arms, which were lightly holding my waist, and put her down on the floor. But.

“Tell me…”

Baek Hana, who had just gotten up from the floor, immediately hugged me from behind again. This girl was physically grown but mentally still immature.

“If you sincerely apologize, She’ll forgive you quickly.”
“Really?”
“Get off me.”
“Chii~ I don’twant to…”

Thud!

“Kyaak?!”

I lightly hit her on the top of her head with a clump of magic, and only then did she let go of me. I turned around and gave her an additional tap on the forehead as she rubbed the top of her head.

“Ouch!”
“Be quiet and come out for dinner.”
“No violence…”
“You should think about not doing things that will get you hit in the first place.”
“Ugh…”

I took Baek Hana, who was pouting, to the kitchen.

-Peeiik!!

“Ah…”

The fairy, who was drinking milk with honey through a straw on the table, flew onto Claire’s shoulder when she saw Baek Hana.

“…”

Claire, who had inadvertently gotten caught between the two, blinked and looked back and forth between the fairy on her shoulder and Baek Hana sitting next to her.

“Don’t mind us and eat your meal.”
“Yes…”

The dinner table was unusually quiet as the two girls, who usually chattered, remained silent. Personally, I didn’t mind the quiet.

-Bang~!

“I’m sorry, okay…?”

-Peeiik~!

After dinner, Baek Hana moved to the table and started apologizing to the fairy with all her heart, as I had advised her. The fairy resisted by turning away whenever Baek Hana leaned in, but.

“Do you want this?”

-Pee, peei…?

When Baek Hana took out the children’s chocolate that she had been eating since she was young, the fairy immediately showed interest.

-Piuuung, ping…

In an instant, the fairy climbed onto Baek Hana’s hand and started nibbling on the chocolate. It seemed that food was more effective than a sincere apology. This girl was truly simple-minded.

“Oh, that’s right.”

Baek Hana, who had been petting the fairy after they made up, glanced at me.

“Woo-jin…”
“What is it?”
“Can I bring my friends too?”
“Maria and Edyn?”
“There are two more…”

I put down my half-empty teacup.
The other two were probably Nam Seo-hee and Lee Nayeong.

“Do that.”
“Hehe, thank you… But Edyn and Maria will probably come over more often…”
“It’s fine.”
“Hmm…”

“Then you should take a bath and get ready for bed.”

-Peeang!

Baek Hana was about to get up from her chair, but the fairy, who had finished eating the chocolate, landed on her head. I naturally called out to the fairy, who was about to head to the bathroom.

“Baek Hana.”
“Huh?”

She just slightly turned her head back to look at me.

“Don’t forget that you’re not allowed to go out or stay out.”
“…”

Baek Hana’s eyes trembled severely, as if she had genuinely forgotten. I pointed to the clock hanging on the kitchen wall.

“Make sure to come back before it gets too late. If you don’t, I’ll ban you from coming here too. And…”
“…”

I asked Baek Hana, who was looking at me with a dejected expression.

“Before you leave, submit a letter of reflection.”
“Huh…”

.

.

.

The next morning.

“Excuse me~”
“Excuse me!!!”
“I’m here.”

Three girls entered the study by opening the door.

“Oh, it’s been a while!”
“I’ll visit you more often from now on.”

Edyn, who was stiffer than before when dealing with me. And Maria, who was becoming more and more like Lee Yesol.

“Have you had breakfast?”
“Not yet.”
“Go to the kitchen.”
“Yes~”

Baek Hana took the two girls out of the study. I got up from my seat and opened the bedroom door, which had been closed.

“Claire.”
“Yes.”

Claire, who had been sitting on the bed watching the fairy sleep, came out. After she left, I used my magic to block out the sounds from outside the bedroom, but I didn’t forget to leave the door slightly open so that the fairy could come out when it woke up.

“Is the, the executioner going to cook something other than cereal…?”
“Shh…”

When I went to the kitchen a little late, I could see the two girls looking surprised at Claire’s back as she cooked stew.

“Delicious…”!!
“It’s really good…”
“I told you it’s delicious.”

Baek Hana frowned slightly and complained to the two girls who were eating Claire’s stew. After the short meal,

“Hana.”
“Hmm?”

Baek Hana, who was about to go to the room with Maria and Edyn, stopped, and the two girls also stood in their places and looked back at Claire.

“Change into your workout clothes and come to the yard.”
“Huh…?”

Baek Hana, who was very confused, approached Claire, who was clearing the dishes, and asked.

“Did, did I do something wrong…?”
“No.”
“Then why…?”

Claire answered Baek Hana’s question-filled gaze quietly.

“It’s the professor’s instruction.”
“Huh…”

Baek Hana looked at me with betrayed eyes.

“And.”

Claire’s gaze shifted to Maria and Edyn, who were standing idly by the entrance.

“You two, change your clothes and come to the yard too.”

The two girls’ faces turned black.

I put down the teacup I was holding on the table.

“If you want to play, you must receive training from Claire for at least 4 hours a day.”

Well, I wonder if they’ll have the energy to play after that.
