Academy Slave Instructor

5 – Lectures Without Faith

Lectures Without Faith

The age of entering Legandia Academy is usually around 15 years old. Although it differs from country to country, in the empire, people are treated as adults from the age of 15.

Admitted students view the academy as a place of education and an extension of the social realm. Growing young people meet and interact with new people. Meeting aristocrats, commoners, and various people who grew up in completely different environments from their own, they broaden their eyes to see the world and meet close friends who are irreplaceable in life.

Yes. At a time when there is a lot of interest in the opposite s*x, a large number of young men and women who have never seen each other gather.

“No matter how much you think about it, it’s clear that the academy selects people based on their looks. Otherwise, how could girls be that pretty?”

“Looking at your face, I don’t think so.”

“I mean! Girls, girls! Guys can tell just by looking at your face, not just mine!”

A man caught between the two of them, who had been fighting each other’s faces, brings up an important topic.

“So who do you want to go out with?”

The two men, who had been fighting each other by the end of their hair, stopped their actions as soon as they heard the words and sat down to ponder seriously. The image of him contemplating with his hand on his chin is like watching a commander conceiving a strategy.

“As expected… I still want to choose the goddess… But she’s too much of a flower on the cliff.”

At one man’s words, the other men also nodded to him.

In Rai’s class, there was a very beautiful girl. Her name is Aria Shane Brickville. All families with Shane in the middle are blood relatives of the emperor.

Arya is also a distant relative of the emperor, and her father protects the emperor as a duke, so there are only 6 princesses in her academy who can match her with the prestige of her family.

However, Arya’s appearance is so dazzlingly beautiful that her family line is not even visible. Whether her man or her woman, seeing her for the first time will stare blankly at her and make her cheeks blush.

Other men nodded at the word flower on the cliff. And Zeroa, who was in the group of men, also sympathized with the words, but looked at them awkwardly.

Zeroa, who only shows her awkward smile and never speaks her mind, looks at her sideways. There, Rai nodded her head loudly.

Zeroa traces her memory to find out why the meeting came to be like this.

At Legandia Academy, there are ceremonial clothes as the clothes that distinguish academy students, but there is no school rule that says they must wear them.

The wedding attire is just for events, and you can wear it freely as long as you wear a brooch proving that you are an academy student or a coat with an academy badge that goes down to your knees.

The coat has a charm, but as the weather gets hotter, I don’t wear it anymore, so I usually only identify it with a brooch. A brooch was hanging from Zeroa’s chest, and a coat was draped over her shoulder.

On her way to class, Zeroa met Rai and said that her coat was cool and asked if she could try it on. She handed it over to him. While she was talking about something, she casually headed to the classroom, and Rai casually joined the group in the corner of the garden.

Seeing that she didn’t recognize that she was a lecturer, it seemed like they didn’t know each other at all, but Lai squatted next to them as if they were friends, and she immediately chatted hahahaha.

And Zero Ah, who was accompanying Rai, also sat next to her.

‘Is it okay to talk like this in front of the instructor…’

It was something that men of my age would say, such as who is pretty or who wants to go out with someone, but it was not something that could be said openly in front of the instructor at the academy.

“It’s sad that I’m Class C’s Luette.”

“Really? I haven’t seen him.”

“He’s a shy guy who doesn’t make eye contact with people, but he has a cute face and especially his body- his chest is amazing… So…”

“Sensual?”

“Right! Right! Sensuality! You have great choice of words. I’m going to miss the Literature class.”

Seeing the man grinning as he poked the instructor’s side, Zeroa tried hard to hide her shocked expression. A man whose name is unknown is also a man, but Rai, who, as a lecturer, intervenes in such a topic without any sense of incongruity, looks great.

“Does anyone know?”

While contemplating whether to reveal that Rai is an instructor even now before making more mistakes, the man in the middle looks over the audience with a serious look.

The technique of drawing attention to oneself by giving a short period of time is of a high level. After attracting enough attention, the man quietly opens his mouth.

“70% Of women have their first experience at the academy.”

“Wow…”

“My God… How can you be so vulgar and wonderful.”

Men’s exclamations follow, but Zeroa looks at her surroundings with a firm expression. Originally, these figures are exaggerated, so it is difficult for her to believe it as it is, but everyone here believes it, and their eyes burn.

The man felt the atmosphere heat up and continued talking.

“That means men have a 70% chance.”

“Ohh…”

“Huh- Finally I…”

As she looked at the men who each turned their heads as if they were embarrassed about what they were imagining, Zeroa doubted for a moment whether this was the Legandia Academy, where only the elite gathered.

“Wait a minute, it’s not a tie.”

Rai, who had been listening as she chimed in, raised her hand and spoke.

“70%… Well, yes. Let’s say that. But, why do you think that would apply to men as well?”

“You dude! With a guy! You have to pair up with a girl! It’s your first experience! What kind of girls and girls?!”

“… I like it?”

I don’t know why she was excited, but when Zeroa was taken aback when she saw a man running away with dog foam, Rai continued her words.

“Normally you don’t meet just one popular guy.”

“……”

When Rai reveals the bitter truth, everyone lowers her head in despair. Seeing them, Rai gestured to Zeroa asking why they were like this, but Zeroa could only smile bitterly.

“Okay, it’s okay. I’m good-looking, so I’ll be popular.”

“Me, I’m popular too. When I was inside the house, the maid said I was handsome.”

“……”

Except for the man who was struggling to find something to say, the rest justified themselves and refused to acknowledge the reality. She knew very well that she didn’t look popular, so even Zero Ah couldn’t help but smile.

“Ah, Mr. Rai is here.”

When an adult woman who was clearly the instructor came and called for a rai, her academy students stood up and greeted her instructor. The instructor greeted each one of them with a smile, and the men who had been discouraged a little while ago had a bright look on their attractive smiles.

“It’s your first job, so you’re not familiar with geography, so I’ll guide you to the lecture room.”

“Oh- thanks. Then I’ll go.”

Lei, who naturally reveals that she is her instructor, stops and gives her coat to Zeroa and leaves.

The remaining men look at Rai’s back and slowly turn their heads to see Zeroa, who was in his party.

“Ah… You are the instructor of class B…”

Zeroa, who had nothing to say, quickly finished her words and left her seat as if running away.

“How is life at the academy?”

“It’s only been two days, but it’s fun. The kids are having fun too.”

Her fellow lecturer Xenia, who guided her to her classroom, smiled lightly at Rai’s words. She felt it at the meeting, but he was different from other instructors at the academy.

He’s on the mild side, but he doesn’t mind even if the deputy director, who can’t get out of control once he gets angry, seems to be free in his words and actions. The atmosphere similar to adventurers or mercenaries was quite attractive to Xenia, who dreamed of such a life.

With her light blue bobbed hair tucked behind her ear, she chews on what her rai said.

Usually, when asked about life at the academy, they make remarks that feel like evaluation, such as the classy academy, the education, the facilities, and the talents of the students.

However, Rai just spoke his honest opinion. It was the first time I had heard that the kids were having fun.

She took out her small paper bag before she knew it and Rai, who was eating away at her cookies, silently held out her paper bag to Xenia’s gaze.

“Oh, thank you.”

“No, you gave me your time. I should give you something like this.”

Xenia made sure that there were no instructors or students around her and had her own little adventure. All she could do was walk around and snack, but she would be pointed out as being rude to an instructor who was supposed to set an example for her students.

Xenia, who was always forced to live a polite life, never dreamed that she would be thrilled with cookies secretly eaten by grown adults. I don’t know why, but the cookie, which I had eaten, crumbled in her mouth and tasted sweet.

“Isn’t it delicious?”

“Yes, it’s delicious. Where is the store?”

“I don’t know either. It’s delicious, so I asked the headmaster for it.”

Xenia finally realized where she had eaten. When she was first appointed as a lecturer, she came face to face with the head of the academy and she trembled and drank tea. The cookies, which she hadn’t really tasted yet, were quite sweet.

She’s more than that, I don’t know if I should say that she’s bold for asking the school principal for cookies, or that she’s fearless.

“Eat more.”

As Rai holds out her paper bag again, Xenia carefully picks up another cookie of hers.

“Don’t do that and eat a lot. I think you liked it.”

“Kyaa-“

Seeing Xenia taking out one of her cookies from an envelope full of cookies and eating it, she let out a small scream in surprise when I picked up a handful of her frustrated raiga and put it in her hand.

Xenia looks at Rai, embarrassed by her scream. She responded with a scream of goodwill. Thinking she has done something rude, she gets nervous as he stares blankly at him.

“That’s right, it would bother me if I got a lot of crumbs on my hands. I don’t mind, so I change them.”

After saying that, Rai took Xenia’s hand and took her cookie. Xenia’s heart rate rises as his hands touch her cookie. And a paper bag containing cookies goes up on her empty hand.

“Isn’t practice field 3 over there? Seeing the kids gathered, I can understand. Thanks for letting me know. See you later.”

“Ah, yes…”

Xenia, who had been watching Lai as she ran to her training room while jokingly talking, looked at her paper bag in her hand, smiled small, and quickly walked towards the lecture room.

Arriving at the training center, Rai shares her story by handing out cookies to the children who have arrived before class. At first, the academy students couldn’t adapt to Rai’s open-minded attitude, but soon they were colored by his affinity and giggled.

And there was a girl frowning at him in the corner.

On the day I met Lai for the first time, it was Philia Serios who asked about his career. She was delighted to have a great person like Leila Cloud as her instructor.

Compared to Rai, who was so unreliable that she even forgot her position, Leila was a respectable person who had been in office until recently.

But that instructor couldn’t admit it. Philia was shocked, especially when she overheard other instructors chatting with each other. She is an instructor who has only one Rennen battle as her career. It was unbelievable.

Then when I asked him about his career, he lied and said he had a lot of experience. The instructors also said they couldn’t understand why such a person came to Legandia.

I know it’s stupid to evaluate people based only on the reviews that are floating around in the world, but the more Philia sees Lai, who has a completely different atmosphere from the instructors, the more she becomes suspicious.

So Philia decided to evaluate him with this lecture.

“Looks like we’ve come, so let’s begin. Gather here and sit down.”

Seeing Rai sitting on the bare floor, the other academy students notice each other and then sit huddled together near him.

“Since you’ve taken the entrance exam, everyone knows how to use mana, right?”

Rai creates sparks from his hands and launches them into the air.

“The farther the spell gets from the user, the harder it is to control the mana. Here, make everyone who can raise it to this level and upload it.”

Each student at the academy creates a spark with mana and raises it above his head, just like Rai did. Most of them don’t seem to be in trouble, but two of the academy students lose their balance at shoulder height and the sparks scatter.

And among the two, there was Zeroa. Everyone is succeeding as if nothing happened, but I tried hard to raise the flame over her head, knowing that it was embarrassing to fail, but every time I failed.

“If that doesn’t work, stop at a suitable location. This distance makes no difference no matter where you put it.”

According to Rai’s words, Zeroa was placed in the most stable position, but the other academy student who had not succeeded raised her hand proudly and created a spark on top of it.

Rai laughed at the academy student who seemed elated when he was placed in a similar position to the other academy students.

“Is it okay? I’ll have to raise my hand and take lessons all day.”

At that, the academy student quietly lowered her hand and raised the flame to about her shoulder. Rai looked around the flames created by everyone and said while transforming them.

“From now on, all you have to do is play with dolls.”

“Yes?”

“It’s simple. Turn the fireworks into dolls and make them dance. Like this.”

The flames floating above Rai’s head were dancing in human form. There was no song, but the fireworks were running bright and seemed to have life.

“First, you just have to make a human form. Think of combing a doll with clay. It’s a fire, but the essence is mana, so you guys can handle it however you want.”

Given time to practice, the academy students whimpered and tried to mold the flames into human form. An academy student asked Lai, who was sitting in her comfortable position and watching the struggling children.

“What’s good about doing this?”

“The ability to control mana. And you can play with dolls well.”

“…… Is that the end?”

“I like to make pennies when I have no money.”

Question When an academy student showed signs of disappointment, Rai remembered Selena’s special lecture during her break.

‘Think that teaching aides who have experience and have been completed to some extent and teaching hagwon students are completely different fields. First of all, you have to stimulate your interest to improve your learning ability.’

As Selenas said, Rai mainly taught those who rolled as they would roll in actual combat, so the details of the class were poor. Do something like this for them. If you do, you judged on your own, so there was no need for complicated explanations.

And he still did not understand the need to arouse interest. Why did he need interest in learning, didn’t he come to the academy to learn?

I don’t understand, but Rai doesn’t ignore the advice of people who are far more authority than he is in the field of education.

Rai created fire arrows with magic and said.

“There’s also this. It’s an ordinary flaming arrow, but you can attach a dragon’s head to its head.”

The fire arrow magic, which simply lengthened the flame, looked as cool as high-level magic with a dragon’s head hanging from the tip.

“It’s dope…”

“Aren’t flaming arrows the same power anyway?”

“You have no romance. It’s a dreary life.”

It was a simple magic, but when coolness was added, the reaction of the academy students was split in half. People who compliment each other with shining eyes and people who talk about practicality and don’t respond well don’t understand each other.

“You can do this.”

Lai made several doll-shaped fireworks and had them dance as a group. The sight of the fireworks dancing in harmony was fresh and cool, as if spirits were dancing.

“I have a question.”

Philia, who was quietly listening to her class, raised her hand and said.

“There are many mana control training methods in the world. But I am new to this kind of training, so can you tell me why the instructor chose this exercise?”

“Because it’s the best thing I know of.”

“Is that so… Did you invent it yourself? Or can I know the name of the person who invented it?”

“Solterian.”

Philia searched her memory for a moment, but when she tried to ask again at a name she had never heard of, Rai spoke first.

“He’s a famous minstrel from the kingdom of Iligandia. He’s a pretty good friend.”

“……Then what we’re learning now is… A training method devised by a bard…?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

At Rai’s words, Philia lost her words.

Mana, magic, and combat skills have developed over dozens and hundreds of years. Those who focus on mana have always strived to reach a higher level and have developed excellent training methods and techniques to this day.

Current people have made their efforts to easily handle mana, and the laws they have accumulated over time have built a solid system, albeit with partial flaws.

However, Philia, who had been doubting Rai’s skills so far, exploded when she heard that it was a training method created by a simple bard rather than an authority figure or a mana researcher.

“Why… Why is Legandia Academy giving such low quality education?”

At Philia’s words, her academy students are surprised and look at her and Rai alternately. Directly challenging the instructor’s authority is risky for one of the two, no matter how it ends.

Rai, who tilted her head at her words of low level of education, thought for a while before saying.

“How do you know what a poor education is?”

“There are a lot of training methods created by great people, but only training methods created by bards are taught.”

“Solterian isn’t one to be looked down upon… As I said, this is the best mana control training method I’ve ever known. Isiatis, Floa, and Devastane are worse than this.”

The names Rai mentioned are people who have made great achievements that are even listed in history books.

However, when the names of such outstanding figures were mentioned, Philia, who had a bad feeling, thought that Rai was making excuses.

Rai, who was staring at Philia’s frowning face, soon changed into a mischievous expression.

“So, do you want to bet?”

“What?”

“Let’s make a bet, let’s have a mana control showdown in two weeks. Pick a guy who says he can win no matter what he does. I’ll continue teaching him this low-level education, so let’s stick together.”

“……”

Philia pondered for a while and then pointed to Zeroa.

“It’s disgraceful, to pick the worst kid.”

“I heard you pick someone like that. Sorry, I didn’t mean to disparage your skills.”

Zeroa, pointed out by her polite apology, laughs awkwardly.

“Let’s bet um… Let’s listen to whatever the other person has to say.”

“What the hell are you going to do for me?”

Philia, who reflexively covered Rai’s smirk, glared at her.

“Isn’t that enough fun? It’s easy for you to kick me out of the academy.”

“I’m not trying to kick you out. I’m just going to turn it into an acceptable class and wonder how someone like you is an academy instructor.”

“That’s a really big secret.”

At her teasing words, Philia made an impression on her, and Rai placed her hand on the shoulder of Zeroa, who officially became her weakest body.

“Congratulations, you night study.”

“Yes?”

It was the moment when the life of Zero Ah, who considered herself ordinary, changed.
