I Became an Unknown Professor at the Academy

“Huff…?!”

Jane Moore gasped and sat up.

“Jane, Jane? Calm down.”

“…”

She slowly turned her head at the voice of the head professor, who was standing right next to her.

“Yeong…?”

“This is a hotel room.”

“Hotel…”

Jane Moore looked around, raising her head.

Elegant furniture and wallpaper.

A soft bed and a gorgeous chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

“Ugh…”

“What’s wrong? Does your head hurt? I’ll call a priest right away.”

The head professor quickly left Jane Moore’s bedroom.

Alone, Jane Moore frowned and tried to recall her memories.

-Sanctuary of Light.

She dominated the stage from the start.

-Allez.

She leaped through space with her body transformed into light and tried to stab the opponent’s shoulder.

No, she intended to stab.

It would only take a moment, a moment so brief that one couldn’t even blink, for the rapier to pierce the opponent’s uniform and penetrate the shoulder.

Ssss.

But in that moment, the opponent opened her eyes.

“Ah…”

Jane Moore unconsciously moved her lips.

Her hands trembled as she recalled the slowly revealing blue light.

“I… lost.”

Defeat.

It was a very unfamiliar word for Jane Moore, who had always won.

“How, how could this happen…?”

Jane Moore’s trembling hands stopped.

Her hazy eyes gradually began to sparkle.

“What kind of training did she do? How could she move faster than me, transformed into light? Ability? No, it’s not an ability…”

She began to mutter to herself, her face filled with curiosity.

And at that moment, she reached a conclusion.

“Jane, I brought a priest.”

The head professor returned to the bedroom with a female priest.

“Priest, I─”

“Sum!”

“Huh?”

Sum Willis, the head professor, felt a great sense of unease as he looked into Jane Moore’s sparkling eyes.

This was because every time she sparkled her eyes like that, she would inevitably cause a big or small disturbance.

“What’s the schedule for the loser’s revival match?”

“Why…?”

“Of course, it’s to apologize to Ms. Baek!”

Sum Willis asked with a glimmer of hope.

“If it’s a personal meeting, I can arrange it.”

“No.”

What’s wrong with that…?

Before Sum Willis could finish asking, Jane Moore quickly continued.

“I publicly insulted Ms. Baek. So, I should apologize publicly.”

“What if the other person doesn’t want that?”

“Definitely. Ms. Baek said she didn’t need an apology.”

“Ohh…”

Sum Willis’s face brightened momentarily.

“But Iseul told me that Koreans refuse once, twice, and three times…”

“…”

“Ah! That’s right. It’s called virtue!”

“Oh, yes! Virtue!! Anyway, even if the other person wants something, they refuse once, right?”

“Jane, that’s─”

“Ah! It’s fine. I’ll find out the schedule myself!”

“No, it’s not like that…”

Sum Willis couldn’t finish her sentence.

This was because Jane Moore had disappeared from the bed in an instant.

“If there’s no patient, I’ll go back.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“…”

The priest, who was about to turn around, furrowed her brow at Sum Willis’s response.

Sum Willis wiped her face and replied to the priest.

“Can you cure my headache…?”

“Unfortunately, I can’t cure symptoms caused by mental illness.”

The priest left the bedroom without looking back.

“I think I’ll retire…”

Sum Willis felt particularly homesick today.

Late in the evening.

“Huff~ I’m so full, Black!”

Nayoung rubbed her slightly plump belly and took off her coat.

“Hana, are you staying over tonight?”

“Yes. I told you in advance.”

Maria and Baek Hana changed their shoes and entered.

“Are you going upstairs?”

“How can I leave when Hana is here?”

Edyn and Nam Seo-hee followed behind.

“Don’t, don’t fight…”

-Peeuk.

Nayoung, who had finished changing and was holding the fairy on her hand, came in last and closed the door.

“Yeon-ju, can you fill the bathtub?”

-I’ll do it!!

Nayoung, who had finished changing very quickly, disappeared into the master bathroom.

“Ah… I didn’t bring my pajamas.”

“Do you want to borrow mine?”

Edyn, who had thrown off her clothes and was lying on the sofa, raised her head slightly.

“I’d appreciate it if you lent them.”

“It’s not a big deal to lend you a pair of pajamas.”

Edyn got up from the sofa and headed to the dressing room.

“I don’t know if they’ll fit.”

Edyn looked at Baek Hana’s majestic midsection with a furrowed brow.

“It should be fine, right?”

Baek Hana also looked at Edyn’s chest and replied.

“Well, it’s not like you’ll die if they’re a little small.”

“Thanks. I’ll wash them and return them later.”

“Why bother washing them? Just throw them aside. Anyway, if you leave them here, everything will be taken care of, so why bother?”

Edyn handed the pajamas to Baek Hana and pushed her out, intending to leave.

“I want to borrow them too.”

“Huh?”

And Edyn furrowed her brow at Nam Seo-hee, who suddenly appeared beside her.

“Did you ask for it?”

“Let’s say I did.”

“…”

Edyn looked up and down Nam Seo-hee with a displeased expression.

“What are you looking at?”

“Hehe, your choice of words is quite refined. Why don’t you try to be half as refined as Baek Hana?”

“If you were half as refined as her, I wouldn’t have said that.”

“Do you really want to borrow the pajamas…?”

“For now.”

Edyn sighed and shook her head, judging that it would be pointless to continue talking.

“Mine might be a little big for you, so you should borrow Maria’s.”

“Okay.”

“…”

Edyn furrowed her brow at Nam Seo-hee’s too-easy response. And when she came out of the dressing room, she found out why.

“Hoo-hoo, our Edyn has a generous chest~”

“What, what?”

Maria approached with her hand over her mouth, laughing.

Edyn instinctively took a few steps back and shouted.

“What’s with you all of a sudden? I didn’t say anything!”

“Se-hee said that your pajamas might be a little big for her, so she should borrow mine.”

“Hey!! That’s…”

Dada-da!!

Edyn ran into the bedroom.

“Hmm~”

Maria followed quietly with a creepy smile on her face.

“Is it okay…?”

“Edyn is tough.”

“Ugh… That’s not okay.”

Nayoung fidgeted with her hands and feet as Baek Hana pulled on her cheeks playfully.

“Se-hee, don’t fight with Edyn too much.”

“Yes. I’ll fight a little less.”

Baek Hana couldn’t help but laugh at the very honest answer.

– Senior?!

-Move!!

-Kya!

Baek Hana stood up at the familiar sound.

“Let’s go take a bath.”

.

.

.

After soaking in the warm hot water.

“Sii… You’ll see…”

“Don’t exaggerate.”

Maria playfully poked Edyn’s side with her arms wrapped around her chest.

“Doesn’t it hurt to squeeze your chest like that?! You should try it yourself!”

“Sorry, sorry~ And I don’t have a chest as big as yours to squeeze~?”

“Krrrr…”

Edyn gritted her teeth and sighed, then opened her scrunched-up face.

“By the way, Baek Hana.”

“Yes?”

Baek Hana looked up from watching Nayoung and the fairy, who had already fallen asleep.

“What are you going to do in the loser’s revival match?”

“What do you mean…?”

Just beat them all, right?

“…”

Baek Hana’s face turned slightly away, as if she had been hit where it hurt.

“Hey. Are you aware that you’re getting a lot of attention right now?”

“Yes. Maria told me. She said I have a fan club too.”

“Is that all? At the academy, they’re already treating you like a queen.”

“That’s a bit unpleasant…”

“Right?”

Edyn quickly jumped in.

“Baek Hana. Go crazy in the loser’s revival match. Then people will be even more enthusiastic than they are now. They’re already calling you the Winter Queen and the Wolf Queen, so what if it gets even worse?”

“Ugh…”

Baek Hana clenched her forearms and shuddered.

She felt a physical repulsion to being treated like that, even though she was flattered by the praise.

“So, what do you think about this? In the loser’s revival match, before you’re randomly selected, how about you just hang in there as much as possible?”

“Hang in there…?”

“Hang in there… no, I mean, just hang in there. Then the number of fights will decrease, and you’ll naturally get less attention.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Hana furrowed her brow and thought for a moment.

“No. I have to go first.”

“Ah, why…?”

“Hoo-hoo, let’s be quiet since some of them are sleeping.”

Maria pointed to Nayoung and the fairy and winked.

“Hey. Baek Hana, think of it as saving a friend and just hang in there, okay?”

Edyn, who had been released by Maria, slowly crawled over to Baek Hana’s bedside.

“You went crazy today, and people bet on you…!! But you can’t deliberately lose, so what about the order of appearance, huh?”

“No.”

Baek Hana answered very firmly.

If it were any other time, she would have granted Edyn’s request, but she couldn’t do that now.

“You heartless bitch…”

Edyn realized that she couldn’t change Baek Hana’s mind, so she sniffled and returned to her bed, covering herself with the blanket.

“Hey…”

Baek Hana felt uncomfortable and was about to call Edyn when Maria stopped her with a smile.

“Shh.”

Maria winked at Baek Hana and whispered to Edyn, who was covering her face with the blanket she had turned over.

“Edyn, I went a little too far today. So, when we get back to Korea, I’ll give you half of my allowance.”

Paat!

The blanket that had been turned over was quickly lifted.

“I love you!! You’re the only one for me!!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Maria patted Edyn’s head as she hugged her and rubbed her face on Maria’s chest, and winked at Baek Hana.

“Pfft…”

Baek Hana couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the two best friends.

[ Ahh!! It’s been a long time! ]

[ That’s right! Finally, the day of the loser’s revival match has arrived! ]

[ Of course, it’s not that the matches of the excellent students we’ve seen so far have been boring. ]

[Ha−ha, you got a bygone last year.]

[ Bell commentator, if you experience it yourself, you’ll never be able to laugh about it. ]

[Then you should laugh a lot now before it happens..]

[ I’ll see you later… Ah! The kings who will light up the stage are entering! ]

The screen that was showing the commentators’ faces switched to the vast hall.

And fifteen students appeared from the entrance that had been set up.

[ I’m already looking forward to what kind of match-up will be drawn. ]

[ That’s right. But, Bell commentator, now is not the time to expect that. ]

[Huh? Then what should we expect?]

[This is it.]

The screen that was showing the students suddenly switched to a new B-brand car.

It was an advertisement.
