chapter 49
” ha.. “
In the empty faculty room, a woman with her hair tied and hanging down long sighed heavily.
Her name was Anderse, and she had no surname because she was a commoner, not a noble.
Countless swords filled the walls of the faculty room.
All of the decorated swords were the swords she actually used when she was an adventurer.
Her prestige once stirred up the empire, and she was scouted directly from the imperial family for her contribution to slaying dozens of demonic beasts by herself, and entered the Montegro Academy as a professor.
When she was an adventurer, she was wild and ferocious and showed the appearance of a heroine, but as she worked as a professor at the academy, that feeling gradually faded away.
Still, the temperament of an adventurer, who was once famous, did not go anywhere, and she became the object of fear among students.
No, to be precise, there was no. was the correct expression.
“You crazy bastard.”
Strong cigarette smoke filled the professor’s room, and swearing at someone filled his ears.
I was under all kinds of stress during my tenure as a professor, but I have never been as stressed as I am now.
“You should know what the hell you’re thinking.”
The object she is swearing at is the protagonist, Griff Rommel, who successfully led the opposition to victory.
From the beginning of the semester, he made a separate list by taking pictures of people of interest, but his behavior always exceeded his expectations.
Doesn’t the first year get the attention of the student council, and win the honors class in the fight against it?
Now…to take the achievement test on the subject of the first year, I had a discussion with myself as a professor.
There was no such thing as a problem child.
smart.
As I was pulling my hair out and sighing, someone opened the door to the professor’s room and slowly entered.
“Long time no see! Anderse!”
Small height that reminds me of Louis, and white hair down to the waist.
A girl with a dignified gait that reminds of the owner of a country, sprinting in front of Anderse, waving her tightly-pressed hat to and fro.
“So! What did you call this body for?!”
Looking at the girl with her arms crossed and smiling brightly, Anderse looked like she was about to die, and then began to let out a sigh.
“..Cynthia”
“Ummm. Yeah! Yeah! Where should I go next to my cute fellow Anderse?”
The girl Anderse called Cynthia… jumped and slumped down next to the chair Anderze was sitting on.
However, there was no sound at all from sitting in the chair, and Cynthia set her magic wand beside her, staring intently at Anderse.
” ..I told you not to use magic in the building.”
“Um ha ha ha! Wizards are those who dig the truth without being bound by the rules! If you obey and obey the rules, you can’t be called a wizard!”
” ..a dog bitch.”
“Oh my. The wrinkles got deeper and I thought it wasn’t the old Anderje, but… this is the Anderje that this body knows!”
“Who gets wrinkles? This witch!”
At Cynthia’s words, Anderse wields his sword decorated in the closet at Cynthia.
The sword swung with a fierce force was covered with mana, and the force of the sword almost broke Cynthia, but…
Chewy eying.
An unknown force blocked Anderse’s attack.
No, to be precise, something unknown deflected Anderse’s attack… was the correct expression.
“Ahahaha! It’s Anderse after all! Good friend who always makes this body fun!”
“..ha, f*ck it.”
Anderse stopped wielding the sword, and had to stop.
If such a monster had decided to stop him… he wouldn’t have been able to wield his sword now.
“Friend, if you frown like that, the wrinkles will get deeper?”
“The headache started getting worse…”
Anderse glanced at Cynthia making fun of him.
A short skirt, a top with an obscenely cut back, and a magic wand as tall as her own.
In addition..
“Look at this radiant skin of this body!”
Glittering, luminous skin.
“I don’t want to hear such a thing from a witch who is quite old.”
“Fufu, magic is preventing aging, but this skin is a magical product made through delicate care!”
” ..haha. “
That damn little kid with gray hair and teasing him was one of the few witches left in this world.
The essence of magic, the science that realizes the twisted powers of the world into reality.
Witches are those who have reached the magic essence.
They are completely different from the archmage appearing in historical literature.
If the Archmage is a being who has attained the apex by cultivating the twists recognized by the world, then the witches could be said to be those who study magic that the world did not recognize.
And the tribe of witches… basically living beings for hundreds of years.
Cynthia, who looked at Anderse calmly, was said to be well over several hundred years old.
Hearing that the wrinkles of a witch who have experienced both the birth and the destruction of a country have gotten smaller, cognitive dissonance was inevitable.
“Fufu! I’m curious as to why the moonlight witch called me all the way here.”
When Anderse’s expression wrinkled in real time, Cynthia stopped playing pranks, wondering why she called herself a witch to the Montegro Academy. It was.
” ..I want to ask you something.”
“A favor? A favor! The naughty Anderse is asking for a favor! That’s very curious.”
” ..I want to hit one hit, but I’m in a hurry, so I’ll just say it.”
Anderse shoves a piece of candy she had carefully packed in her pocket into her mouth before continuing.
“Please escort my damn disciple.”
“Damn disciple? Escort? Was this the reason you were troubled up until recently?”
“…Yes, as a professor, I can’t stand still when my student is walking into a pit of fire.”
A goddamn disciple who dares to take the achievement test.
Last time, he opposed Rommel’s achievement test, but he changed his mind when he heard the stories of the professors who were sponsored by the former imperial nobles.
– Did I say Griff Rommel and Gorphin Hans? I’ve been promised bigger support if I just fail him.
– Viscount Griff, a country nobleman, would be fine, but isn’t Viscount Gorpin a well-known aristocratic family in the capital? If you accidentally touch it and get a bong…
– haha! Don’t worry, you said the backers do all the cleaning up for you! We just have to fail those two guys!
– Oh oh! I hope you are well! Then I will only trust the sponsor and proceed with the work!
These guys say they want to fail Gorfin Hans and Griff Rommel.
It was clear that this midterm exam score would be set poorly.
All the tests of the Montegro Academy, which values creativity, were written in narrative form.
That’s why you can make a plot like that so shamelessly.
So Anderse decided to authorize Rommel’s test of achievement.
Rather, if Rommel’s name is known externally by making great achievements in the achievement test, even the professors will not be able to touch Rommel carelessly.
So Anderse summoned Cynthia, a free-spirited witch who is not entangled in any power, and asked her to escort her.
“Hmm.. it’s a friend’s request, so I’ll try to think positively… but unfortunately this body has a lot of work to do these days…”
” 100 gold coins paid upon completion of the quest.”
flinch.
In an instant, Cynthia’s body began to move like a mouse that had been heated by fire.
Cynthia, who has been researching new magic recently, is in a state of disappointment even with a penny or two in gold.
Because the job of a witch was wandering around the world..There was no place to settle down and earn money.
and.
“If you accept the offer right here and here, right now, I’ll give you 50 gold coins in advance.”
“I accept it!!!”
In the end, Cynthia couldn’t stand it and fell into Anderse’s gimmick with her eyes twinkling.
The star-studded eyes were looking at Anderse with a brilliant light, and Anderse smiled and held out the contract to Cynthia.
“Sign here. It’s a kind of contract to responsibly finish the achievement test.”
“Ha! What do you think of this body! Let’s finish this simple contract right away!”
Suddenly, the space shook, and a pen jumped out of it.
Cynthia snatched the pen from the subspace and immediately wrote her name in the contract, “Cynthia, the witch who downloads the moonlight!”
“This is the conclusion of the contract, Cynthia. Let’s take care of my disciple, who is an idiot.”
“Put away your worries! My friend. I will use the nickname of this witch who downloads moonlight and make my promises!”
Cynthia speaks confidently as she stretches her shoulders to Anderse and puts her hand on her chest.
Although she looked like a child, Cynthia is a witch who has lived for 400 years, one of those who see the essence of magic who has seen the rise and fall of this world.
A witch never breaks a contract with her tinnitus, no, she can never break it.
A kind of restriction and prohibition on the honorable ones who explore the world and discover new things.
A promise that you can’t take the restrictions on tinnitus, and you must honestly keep the contract.
If the contract is broken, the witch loses her nickname and loses her magical eyes to see the world.
That’s why witches don’t make contracts.
Because if the contract is distorted in any way, the witch herself will forget her name.
Nevertheless, the reason why Cynthia signed a contract with Anderse was financial problems, but it also proved that she believed in Anderse that much.
Anderse was well aware of that fact, so he gave the contract to Cynthia.
“Now that the business is over, let’s go.”
“What?! If that’s the case, what did you call this body all the way to the academy!”
“It was to make a contract for sure. You witches are arrogant and arrogant.”
“Profit…! This body is Cynthia, the witch who receives the moonlight! Whether it is a kingdom or an empire, they are longing for this body…
“I turned down all the offers anyway.”
“Ugh… that’s right, but…”
There was a time when there was a perception that witches are heresy.
A time when religion took the lead in persecuting witches, and inquisitors caught them and burned them publicly.
Numerous witches hid in the forest to avoid witch hunting, and the witches whose tracks were lost continued as the bards sang the stories of the witches.
There was a time when Cynthia also hid in the forest to avoid witch hunting, and the world began to change gradually during the blank time.
And… when Cynthia came out of the woods again.
The world no longer wanted the old-fashioned truth.
Religion has collapsed, and the powerful pope has fallen into a mere religious leader.
The numerous heretical inquisitors who persecuted witches have long since disappeared into the other side of history.
The era in which religion dominated the world has come to an end, and an era has arrived that values the abilities of each individual.
In an age marked by treaties, contracts, and wars, there was a constant need for talented people, and to the monarchs, witches were a precious treasure.
So many monarchs tried to acquire witches, but the witches, who had such free-spirited ideas, rejected the lords’ proposals.
Like wandering bards, witches wandered the world and indulged in magic.
Cynthia also resisted courtship from numerous kingdoms for the same reason.
She set out on an adventure to observe the world, and Anderse and Cynthia’s relationship began around this time.
“Then, at least give me a tour!! I can’t go back like this!!!”
Cynthia shed tears as she grabbed Anderse’s crotch and drooped.
Seeing Pueeng, Cynthia groaning and rolling on the floor like a swarm of children, Anderse grabbed Cynthia’s forehead and pushed her away… but it was not enough.
“What kind of tourism does a witch do! Sending you to an academy where only students can attend in the first place is a flaw in my career?!”
“Too much! Persecuting Lu Cynthia, the great sorcerer! Anderse! You must be descended from Inquisitors!”
“What are you doing to make my parents heretical inquisitors? This self-righteous witch…!”
“Then, at least…! Take me to a cafe full of sweet things!”
” …under. “
Anderse sighed bitterly as she looked at Cynthia, who was clinging to the floor, unwilling to fall.
Her class time is approaching in a little while, and she was too anxious to leave this unpredictable witch in her classroom.
” ..Okay, then it’s only up to the cafe.”
“Really? After all, Anderse, my friend, must be the kindest person in the Empire!”
“My head hurts.. stop talking.”
“Uh-huh!”
When she achieves her goal, Cynthia shows her teeth and smiles brightly.
Anderje frowned while looking at the innocent witch.
Today, Anderse’s classroom was peaceful.

“..Princess..is this…really..is this the most fashionable attire in the Empire recently..?”
“Huhuh, that’s right, trust me, Rosé.”
“I’m ashamed.”
“If you are the daughter of the Earl of Edinburgh, you must have mastered this kind of fashion.”
“Because I’ve only held a sword my whole life… My eyes are dark in that direction.”
“Don’t worry, that’s why I’m helping.”
“I’m sorry..”
Herze’s personal office.
Inside, two adult women were chatting.
One side was blushing and shy, and the other side was humming with an innocent smile like a child playing a fun game.
Rosé, who was supposed to meet Rommel today, urgently sent a request for help to the princess, and Hergé was happily choosing Rosé’s clothes.
Rosé, who always insisted on school uniforms and the conquest of the knights, came to Hergé and asked her to choose clothes for herself, and Herze readily accepted Rosé’s request.
Knowing what Rommel means to Hergé, Rosé considered the appointment with Rommel an important position and asked her to dress up to stand proudly next to the princess.
” ..I’m worried.”
“What? As of today, Rosé is the prettiest in the world? Have confidence!”
“Yeah..yes..”
Rosé blushes at the princess’s praise.
Herje looked at Rosé like that and smiled once more.
“Rosé, try on this dress too.”
“Princess…! Stop it now…!”
Until the time of the appointment with Rommel was reached, Rosé could not escape from Herje’s demonic beast.
