The Blockhead Became an Overpowered Magician

26 – Professor??? (5)

“First of all, there’s something else you’re most curious about, right? LOL…”

Arbas looked around the audience.

“There was an opinion that combat practice classes should be increased. I thought that was reasonable and accepted it.”

It was important news.

Someone expressed his opinion to the president, and the academy’s curriculum was changed to suit his wishes.

If it were a teaching institute in a rural area, it would be possible to change professors and lesson plans overnight…

Kagon Academy was not such an easy place.

In the first place, there were only a handful of entities that could exert such influence.

Except for a few professors who devoted their lives entirely to magic research, the minds of the remaining professors began to spin.

Who is it?

It could be a large merchant, a noble family, a magic society, anywhere. And as a final possibility, the royal family could not be left out.

What is the intention?

It could have been a simple whim, or it could have been a diplomatic warning to the neighboring country.

From a foreign country’s perspective, the fact that the Kagon Academy was beginning to intensively train battle wizards was in itself heartbreaking news.

In the worst case, it could be interpreted to mean that the royal family was considering war.

The professors rolled their eyes here and there and talked to each other with their eyes.

-Do you know anything?

-I have no idea.

-Have you heard anything from that magic tower?

-Do you understand?

After considering all the possibilities, I finally looked at the president’s face. But he didn’t seem to have the will to explain any further.

The professors were resigned to it because they knew that even if they asked the president, he would not give an easy answer.

“Professor Erne will only be in charge of classes for first-year students. Professor Kendricks can just do what he does.”

“Yes. I understand.”

“Now, next on the agenda. I think everyone knows that the princess is entering the school.”

The professors looked shocked.

A bad memory related to the agenda came to mind.

Ern guessed what they were thinking.

‘1 Prince expulsion incident….’

A bastard royal family member got kicked out of the academy for acting out.

As Lily said, Kagon’s rules made no exceptions for anyone.

It was absurd. Ern could not understand that sense of being the chosen people.

‘In the first place, Grandpa Zug had a good time, and the princess is expected to adapt well…. ‘Why was I the only one making a fuss?’

The academy, where status was no longer considered noble, was the last place where the royal family could comfortably build memories.

To put it bluntly, it was a nostalgic restaurant where previous kings left 5-star reviews and even gave it a guarantee.

‘This is bad news even for the king.’

I did make a mistake with my home education, but mentioning it would be an insult to the royal family.

So, when the subject of the prince’s life at the academy came up, the reality was that we would cough and cough uncomfortably at each other.

– Wow. Your Majesty the Prince had excellent qualities as a monarch.

-Keuhumhum. He was a man with a great aura.

“Kagon’s philosophy will remain unchanged… This is something His Majesty has once again confirmed.”

Some professors were heartbroken at the good news.

“Professors just need to focus on education. Now, next…”

***

After that, only obvious stories were repeated.

Talk about students who need special management, discuss budget plans, invite special lectures from external instructors, lesson plans, etc.

There was no additional explanation regarding combat classes.

The meeting finally ended, and Arbas was the first to leave.

The other professors also slowly got up and approached Ern, looking at him.

Most of them only came to exchange simple greetings.

Some people had plans after the meeting, and it was also rude to hold on for a long time in this situation.

“Welcome. Let’s have a meal together next time.”

“Yes. I look forward to it.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Thank you for your welcome.”

“Okay then.”

“?”

“I really want to talk about the research of the Sensia School someday.”

“Yes. I’ll see you when I get a chance.”

Ern responded to each person with great care.

‘It came in the end.’

Next in line was Galen Rayvender.

Ern and Galen smiled and shook hands.

“Nice to meet you. I am Galen of the Rayvender family.”

Ern seemed to know the hidden meaning behind Galen’s smile and her tone of voice.

It was because I knew his twisted personality and complicated past.

Interpretation: I am a noble, you lowly commoner.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Ern.”

“Congratulations on being appointed as a professor at such a young age. Since you have the talent that the president has noticed, I think you will become a big star in the magic world in the future.”

Interpretation: How dare a brat like you become a professor? It’s a parachute, right? What kind of grease did you put on the president?

“I’m just grateful for this undeserved position.”

“hahahahaha. You are truly humble. You are from the Sensia school. If I were you, I would probably brag about you.”

Interpretation: I’m jealous!

Ern responded appropriately, expressing gratitude for his hollow praise.

“It seems like the Academy has found a great talent. I look forward to Professor Erne’s educational activities.”

Interpretation: We’ll see. If you don’t do well in class, I’ll bury you.

With that, Galen left with a smile.

‘… I feel like I’m going to get tired.’

Galen had a strong jealous mind from his birth.

Somehow, the fact that he had accumulated a decent track record at a young age seemed to be an eyesore to him.

‘I need to get rid of him as quickly as possible.’

The last professor has arrived. He was a wizard with his hair cut short like a soldier.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Kendricks, in charge of the upper-year combat class.”

Kendrix greeted me with an expressionless expression.

“Ah, Professor. Nice to meet you.”

“Are you going to Mars Pavilion?”

“Yes.”

“If it’s okay, how about we walk together?”

“Good.”

After leaving the faculty building, Kendricks spoke.

“Honestly, I was surprised. There was suddenly a new combat professor.”

“It was sudden.”

“Do you think your fighting skills are excellent?”

“It’s still not enough.”

“Hmm….”

After a while of personal conversation, Kendricks asked.

“Anyway, Professor Ern, what class do you plan on teaching?”

“What are you talking about?”

“For example, I’m teaching you how to deal with monsters.”

Kendrix also taught monster hunting in the original work.

When subduing monsters, things like sniping positions, formations between wizards, and spell combinations.

“Ah, I’m thinking of teaching mainly about peer-to-peer combat.”

On the other hand, Ern was planning to try something new.

Soon there would be many devil worshipers and devils in the world.

And they were the ones who attacked intelligently and with murderous intent. Therefore, preparing for a face-to-face match was essential.

It was no longer a game world where you could comfortably save and load repeatedly.

It was planned to be rolled out thoroughly.

“It’s a battle of people….”

Meanwhile, Kendricks took Erne’s answer seriously.

The other person was a person suddenly brought in by the president. There is a high probability that he received some information.

‘Is there even a real war…? .’

Kendrix thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a look at Erne’s class.

“Oh, and Professor Ern. Can I ask you a small favor?”

“Yes, anything.”

Kendrix asked lightly, as if he were offering a meal.

“How about we spar later?”

“……”

‘… For some reason, he had a disapproving expression on his face from the moment he walked in.’

The true identity of the victory seen on Kendricks’ face in the conference room was revealed.

‘… But why is this such a small request?’

Ern knew the faces and names of the professors, but he did not know the details of their personalities.

She was not a heroine, nor was she a party member who often got into trouble.

To begin with, the amount of class content in the game was small. Even then, there were frequent cases of escapees to eat hidden pieces.

In the original game, the gameplay centered on exploring Khagon, conquering the heroine, and combat.

Therefore, only professors with significant roles, such as the devil worshiper Galen and President Arbas, had detailed knowledge.

“It’s nothing grand, I’m personally curious about your skills. It’s just curiosity.”

But Ern had no particular reason to fight with him.

“hahahaha, I’m busy with research these days-“

[Quest: Professor Sparring]

[Win the sparring with Kendricks.]

[Reward: 10,000P]

“-But I think sparring would be fine.”

“Okay. But unfortunately, we’re both busy for the time being, so how about we do it once the semester starts and things settle down a bit?”

“…I understand.”

***

‘Am I the only one who is busy?’

Ern came out of the lab after dazing for a while.

He went to work, but he didn’t really have anything to do other than attend meetings.

It was possible because there was no research or work at the Magic Tower.

‘I should do some daily quests and then go back and study.’

These days, Ern was memorizing runes at the Magic Tower.

“Oh Ern, welcome!”

The store owner in the shopping district greeted me warmly.

“Hello.”

In the past few days, Erne’s reputation has grown.

Even if you don’t know the name, if you say ‘a wizard who is amazingly good at running errands’, they will probably understand you.

It was the result of a point split.

“Oh, by the way, someone has been looking for Ern these days?”

“Really?”

“Have you committed any crime?”

“That can’t be right.”

“hahahaha, I was just kidding. I’m telling you this because I know Ern isn’t the kind of person who deserves that, but I think she better be careful for the time being.”

“What’s going on?”

“Well, I heard he’s a duke. But it looks like he was a bit fierce. They say he turned the Adventurer’s Guild upside down…”

The only operative related to him was Eisenbern.

‘The atmosphere was harsh?’
