chapter 13
13 – The professors are obsessed
Late evening.
There was a figure walking through the academy building where the lights were turned off one by one.
At first glance, it seemed like a dignified gait, but upon closer inspection, there were many suspicious things.
The way he pretends to be natural, opening the classroom doors one after another, searching for something in them, and walking brazenly again.
It was clear that he was an expert in this field, as he could not hear a single footstep in the process.
Luckily, there was one person watching.
A woman with wide eyes and scattered light purple hair opened her mouth to the suspicious person.
“Rowen? Why are you walking here? This must be Mejai’s building.”
“Oh.”
Professor Rowen, who was stealthily searching this place, closed her eyes tightly.
She gets caught by this woman even if she gets caught.
Professor Violet, the Rising Divine of the Magic Tower.
She was also a wizard who was a dog mate with Rowen.
‘I’ll have to somehow make an excuse and get out of here.’
Professor Rowen’s forehead gathered.
But the player was hit by Professor Violet.
“Don’t make excuses. I’ve seen all of you sneaking through the classrooms.”
“As expected of a wizard, he’s insidious.”
“I don’t think you’re talking about hiding in someone else’s undergraduate building.”
“… Sheesh.”
Professor Rowen, who clicked her tongue, pondered for a moment before opening her mouth.
“I was looking for a student I liked.”
“I can’t believe you have feelings for a student. You’re a professor. No matter how ungrateful the Reconnaissance Faculty is, there are things you can do and things you can’t.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? There is a student you want to enroll in the lab. It’s not romance. You’ve never been in a proper relationship because you’ve been stuck in a room doing research, right?”
“Hmm. It’s enough for a wizard to be good at magic, what’s important about dating? I can’t believe the perverted habits of elves who only think about having children no matter what they do.”
“This is…!”
Insulting the race in front of elves!
Professor Rowen, who was trying to argue, sighed.
Anyway, I was caught hiding in someone else’s undergraduate building.
It is said that if you fight, you will lose.
Besides belittling elves, Violet’s words were also true. Because there were elves who lived a long time and opened their eyes to all kinds of tastes.
Professor Rowen meekly and honestly stated his purpose.
“I was doing a bit of background research on student Ian. I was trying to recruit him into my lab by profiling him.”
“… Ian? Ian Black Angus?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. His reputation is pretty bad. His grades are also poor. He’s not a student you’d be interested in.”
Rowen narrowed his eyes at Violet’s words.
“Violet.”
“Yes?”
“You have a habit of slightly biting your lower lip when you lie.”
“……”
“As soon as the name Ian was mentioned, he was ready to lie. Actually, he’s a great kid, isn’t he?”
“…That’s it.”
“Hmph. You dare to deceive a professor of reconnaissance science who lives on his eyes. It’s a hundred years too early. You’re a magician.”
After saying that, Rowen turned around.
I was thinking of going out like this confidently.
I couldn’t leave Violet alone, though.
“Wait a minute.”
“…Why. Again.”
“Ian is going to be in my lab! I’ve been asked first!”
“Where is that! I haven’t entered any lab yet!”
“Anyway, it’s mine! You’re a student of our Mezai class!”
“Hmph! I can raise Ian better. I can make him the first magic scout!”
A rather childish brawl.
Violet’s expression became extremely serious.
“Then let’s look at it like this. When did you find it?”
“Huh?”
“When did you realize Ian’s talent?”
“… At practice a week ago.”
“Heng!”
A snort that Violet rarely makes.
At the same time, her face became elated.
“I realized it in the previous class, so it’s right that I asked first!”
“Profit! Student is not a food, where is steamed food!”
Professors continue their endlessly childish quarrels.
For the honor of the Lichten Academy, it was fortunate that all the students were gone at this time.
“Oh right, you know what?”
“What.”
“Ian’s student disciplinary committee will be convened soon.”
“The Disciplinary Committee? What’s that about?”
Violet explained everything.
The fact that a suicide note threatening several female students was found on the roof from which Ian jumped.
Rowen frowned upon hearing the news.
“I can’t believe it. I’ve never seen an iron like that.”
“Well, even if that’s true, I intend to embrace Ian. I don’t think Rowen is you.”
Professor Rowen, who was about to retort, let out a sigh.
“The disciplinary committee should be fine.”
“… I mean.”
It was the first time the two agreed.
◆
Prepare for disciplinary committee
Heroines will surely unite
Contrast that too
“It’s cool.”
Sudden coolness.
Ian, who was sitting in the inn, trembled.
“Why do I suddenly feel so cold?”
The two professors were fighting over who would take over, but it was Ian without Ali.
Ian, who was shaking her body, held up her pen.
[Today’s achievement rate] 90%
[ Plan for tomorrow] ???
[ Future goal ] Preparing for the disciplinary committee. Against the scenario.
I have finished writing my growth diary for the day.
I get up early in the morning and train with a simple lunchbox.
In the evening, organize the work of the day and make plans for the future.
It was Ian’s life pattern recently. The goal is, of course, ‘continuous growth’.
Of course, before being possessed, he wasn’t such a upright man.
But.
“I need to invest time in me so that others will look at me.”
A guy whose possessed body was washed while only looking at others.
After using Pongpong as a teacher on the other hand, I have been working hard for myself like this before I knew it.
“Should I build up my body now?”
Sufficient protein was supplied just in time.
The jerky made by smoking a giant rabbit is complete.
It took quite a bit of time, but it was well worth the investment.
– Finding alternatives to gym equipment.
After filling up the empty plan, he satisfactorily stretched.
“If this is enough, it can be said that it has changed.”
It is the body of Pongpong who poured all his energy into others. As soon as you change the direction of that energy, you can feel it growing day by day.
“I also made a colleague.”
Danya was still a bit shy and had a strong tsun. Anyway, whatever you do, it will follow.
Furthermore, it has succeeded in attracting the attention of some professors. There were a few things that went too far, though.
“Let’s never get caught in the lab.”
In the end, these kinds of connections are also important.
It is not a network created by hanging, but a network that is created naturally.
Anyway, speaking of Lichten, it is one of the leading academies in the world. Whether it be a professor or a student, the value of each one is not common.
“Besides, there will be a disciplinary committee.”
In order to prepare for that, you need a personal network.
No matter how much you claim to be innocent, it is meaningless if there are no people around you who support you.
‘If possible, I’d better make my side among the heroines.’
This was a matter of great concern.
In the disciplinary committee, it is clear that Ian himself will be treated as the perpetrator and the rest of the heroines will be treated as victims of intimidation.
It would be of great help if even one of the heroines could claim their innocence together.
Of course, it’s not easy to convince because all the heroines will believe that Ian did it.
‘Besides, the culprit won’t stay still.’
The worst situation is that the heroine is approached first, but she is the culprit.
What if that happens…
I don’t even want to imagine.
In addition, judging from the criminal’s pattern of tying up all four people at the same time and turning them into victims, there is a possibility that he will continue to try to gather heroines in the future. It probably will with a high probability.
“Difficult, difficult.”
It’s an academy where people who are smart or proud are gathered.
The story is that finding the culprit is really not that easy.
I didn’t expect physical evidence to come out like this, no matter how much I didn’t actively pursue the culprit to avoid provoking it.
It would be easier to find a non-virgin among the heroines.
‘Isn’t there some sort of artifact that identifies a virgin?’
Ian shook his head Huihui.
If you take the wrong approach that way, you might end up becoming a real criminal.
“Let’s approach slowly.”
Unexpected Lina.
The physical Sharon.
Aria of a restless mind.
Emilia of justification.
First of all, you need to slowly attack the nearest Lina.
“The more I observe, the more different I am from the Lina I used to see through the screen.”
As long as the opponent doesn’t come out strong again, you’ll be given time to grow.
‘Time is on my side.’
She grew up quickly, and she was a confident Ian, so it was a judgment she could make.
It is already nine o’clock in the evening.
“It’s time to give growth buffs.”
It was the time when Pongpong gave growth buffs to the heroes.
At that time, the black magic altar and magic she was using had already been dismantled, but by this time, her body was naturally itchy.
‘How in the world did he act like a pom-pom?’
So these days, I just meditate where the altar used to be.
Instead of giving to others, focus on yourself.
There was no such thing as Ian’s growth stopping even for a day.
◆
On the other hand, the training center of the Knights Division.
— Wedges!
The cold chill cut through the trees.
An aura containing elemental attributes that are rarely seen in an academy-level knight.
But.
A tree that was half dug was not cut cleanly.
“……”
A glimpse of anger fills the blue Sharon’s eyes.
It’s anger toward himself for repeating his steps in place for several days.
“Whoa.”
Sharon looked up at the sky with a sigh.
Then, as if she realized something, she hurriedly runs into the training room.
Then he sat still and began to circulate his energy.
“… Will come today.”
Waiting for the mysterious and helpful aura of doubt that hadn’t come for several days, she used her strength.
Ten minutes have already passed.
“…Why?”
Sharon captured her inner strength.
Today, that energy did not come.
It’s already been a week.
For some reason, the day coincided with the time when her growth slowed down.
“… That can’t be.”
Sharon shook her head.
It must be just a coincidence.
If it’s not a coincidence, it means that her own growth is all due to that mysterious aura.
I couldn’t admit that.
“……”
Sharon stood up from her seat.
It’s time for her to wash up and go to sleep, but she intends to swing her sword again and again.
Originally, she is Sharon who sets her time like a knife and follows her. But today, for some reason, it didn’t seem like that. The more she failed to grow, the more impatient her heart became.
At that time.
– Patter!
Something fell on the training ground.
Sharon picked it up.
“…The key?”
Sharon opened the little note hanging from her ring.
— Calling an anonymous meeting of victims of the Ian case. Use the key to access the magic network.
Sharon’s lips twisted lightly.
