chapter 19
19 – Storm Instructor (3)
Journey from Saxony to Tristan.
And the organization of the dedicated laboratory and the newly appointed exclusive senior-.
After a fairly eventful day, we wrapped up our first day at the Royal Specialty Hotel.
There was no particular inconvenience at the hotel, probably because Ray had made a thorough reservation.
and the next day.
Early in the morning, I was on my way to work at the Swordsmanship Department of the Military Academy.
Next to him, Ray, who now doubles as a teaching assistant, recited the schedule.
“In the morning, there is a welcome party and assignment of new instructors for the Swordsmanship Department at the Tristan Hero Academy.”
“Is this an official schedule?”
“That’s right. Starting today, it seems that the selection of new instructors will be officially announced within the kingdom.”
“The fact that I became an instructor will also be known. My father would be a bit surprised if he knew.”
When the new instructor selection is officially announced, of course, the fact that I became an instructor will be known to the public.
It is surprising that the second-born nobleman of the Marquess Mullique became an instructor of the Swords Department, and even being assigned as a third-class instructor from the beginning-.
That in and of itself would be a hot topic.
Perhaps there would be a nuisance to clarify the suspicion of preferential treatment for high-ranking aristocrats.
But Ray suddenly shook his head at my words.
“The fact of Edgar-sama’s selection as an instructor has already spread throughout Tristan.”
“hmm?”
As I tilted my head at the sudden story, she took out a bundle of newspapers from her bosom and handed it to me.
Literally a bunch.
A huge amount of articles were all tied up.
Ray brought up the story as if it was no big deal.
“This is a daily article from various newspapers, including the Kingdom Newspaper this morning. “On the front page, there’s nothing but Edgar’s story.”
For a moment, I couldn’t understand the situation, so I blinked several times.
And the articles that I slowly move my gaze to read.
-The second son of Marquis Mullique, selected as an instructor in the swordsmanship department! The rank is level 3?
-No one expected it! Edgar Mullik passed the swordsmanship instructor exam with the highest score!
-You defeated fifteen mid-level monsters by yourself? Kingdom Investigation Team and Administrative Office, “Confirming.”
– A nobleman who had no talent for magic finds talent in the sword! The heroes who witnessed it said in unison, “At least the third crossroads… .”
“… … .”
Really, without missing a single one, there are only stories about me.
Yesterday’s battle where I spent some effort to minimize damage to the upper ranks.
Were the results too impressive?
Not only the eyewitness accounts of the heroes who were in the same seat, but also the fact that I had been selected as a new 3rd grade instructor were already appearing in articles.
‘… ah.’
My head is a little throbbing.
Of course, I thought it was a battle that would become a topic of conversation to some extent, but I didn’t know that it would become famous enough to occupy all the pages of various newspapers.
“Congratulations. You became a famous instructor overnight.”
The beginning of the semester, which has not even started yet.
From the first day of his appointment, he became a famous instructor.

“Selena. I appoint you as the new instructor of the Tristan Hero Academy’s Swordsmanship Division, and assign you as a research instructor with the rights of a 4th-level instructor. This is a legitimate decision approved by the President of the Military Academy, Antonio Seifen… .”
Tristan Hero Academy, Swordsmanship Faculty Auditorium.
As previously announced, the official welcome party for the heroes who were selected as new instructors was being held here.
In fact, even if it was a welcome party, meeting with the senior instructors I met in the instructor exam, and assigning instructors according to rank and appointing senior instructors… It is only an official event within the department.
It’s completely different in character from the “welcome party for freshmen” you experience as a student.
After becoming an instructor, you will have a kind of work life- maybe it was natural.
‘at las… .’
However, this event is not completely meaningless.
Not heroes who became instructors in search of work as if swept by the current, but heroes who genuinely liked teaching and hoped to become instructors as a profession.
To them, this event meant a lot.
New Instructor Selena.
She is a swordsman hero who has been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
Before becoming a hero, her future hope was to become a teacher, and after becoming a hero, she has never abandoned her dream of becoming an instructor.
Rather than becoming a hero who commands the continent, I want to become a person who raises him.
That was Selena’s pure greed.
‘Instructor Akina… .’
A red-haired instructor standing proudly in the distance catches Selena’s eyes.
Akina Crowfly.
A swordsman hero called the star of the kingdom, and a woman called the best swordsmanship instructor at the military academy.
She was Selena’s idol.
I wanted to handle the sword like Akina, and I wanted to teach the cadets like Akina.
If becoming an instructor was Selena’s only dream all along.
After becoming an instructor, it was my new dream to become an outstanding instructor like Akina.
Meeting with seniors and assigning instructors.
This event was a stepping stone for Selena to get one step closer to that dream.
‘Unfortunately, I missed the senior… .’
Although I was pushed by a certain monstrous man, I lost the position of the new instructor.
However, her passion and ability were fully recognized within the faculty, and as a result, she was assigned the position of research instructor (level 4).
It was a satisfactory achievement.
“Congratulations, Selena.”
and after the event.
A man with a scar on the right side of his forehead approaches and congratulates her.
The swordsman hero who killed the ‘Sabertooth Tiger of the Boundary’.
A famous instructor who is also called the 4th captain of the swordsmanship department.
It was Instructor Jackson.
He will be in charge of Selena’s senior shooter this semester, and he said hello in advance yesterday.
“thank you. Instructor Jackson.”
“You can call me senior. We will continue to work together from now on.”
“I understand, senior.”
“Like I said yesterday, I will practice the lecture today. I’m going to take some time out of my lectures this semester and leave it to you, so you have to be thoroughly prepared.”
“yes!”
It was a story that Selena had been waiting for since she had a great desire for education.
So, the two of them left to move to the teaching place.
however.
Selena, who was moving, suddenly caught a familiar look.
‘Instructor Akina… ?’
The back of Akina Crowfly, which we saw briefly earlier.
and.
A man was walking beside her.
Selena knew the name well.
‘Edgar Mulick… .’
A hero who overtakes Selena and takes the position of new instructor.
and.
The owner of tremendous skills who single-handedly caught 15 mid-level monsters, Kelleil, in the ‘Red Forest Zone’.
This morning, it appeared on the front page of various articles including <Kingdom Newspaper>.
-Isn’t it just to promote the nobility as usual?
-The new instructor caught 15 Kelleil by himself.
– Newspapers seem to have nothing to write about. Written as rumors or articles that have not been confirmed in fact-.
-Didn’t you take the senior position for the price of the family name? or fed money.
Some fellow instructors even treated it as a rumor.
It’s a heroic story that is so hard to believe, and since the status of ‘nobility’ is intertwined, distrust naturally dwells in it.
Among them, there were also heroes who were just jealous of Edgar Mullik and were sarcastic.
‘… Because he was really talented.’
But Selena was the one who witnessed the scene right in front of her.
You know better than anyone that the rumors are true.
So there was no dissatisfaction with Edgar’s chief position.
He had the skills to do so, and he did not receive preferential treatment just because he was a noble.
“hmm? ah. Instructor Akina was in charge of Instructor Edgar’s gunnery. Both of them belong to the same nobility and have great skills, so the synergy will work out well.”
Seeing Selena stop for a moment, Instructor Jackson also shifts his gaze.
He even speaks softly.
Akina Crowfly and Edgar Mulick.
This union, where two noble children from a prestigious family met, became a hot topic among senior instructors.
Selena nodded.
“It was definitely a great skill. It was a skill that made sense of the position of chief and instructor.”
“hmm? ah. Selena, did you say you were in that red forest area too?”
“yes. I saw it right in front of my eyes.”
Amazing abilities that seem to be ‘inevitable’ and neat and fast swordsmanship without superfluity.
gale or storm.
The sword that the new instructor showed was not lacking in such a modifier.
Recalling the situation at the time, Selena admired again.
Seeing her like that, Instructor Jackson let out a small laugh.
“From the look on your face, you must have fought really well, right?”
“… yes. To be honest, as a fellow instructor, I was surprised. It seems that there is a difference in level from the forked road to bloom.”
“hahahaha. This can be happen. Instructor Edgar is a hero that surprised us when we supervised the exam too.”
Instructor Jackson laughed heartily.
Then, ah, he snapped his fingers and added a word.
“But the reason Instructor Edgar took the position of Chief and Instructor is not simply because of his outstanding abilities as a hero.”
“yes? Then what… .”
Selena’s eyes filled with momentary doubt.
At that, Instructor Jackson narrowed his eyes.
“Instructor Edgar, that person. You do an amazing job at the lecture. I received an overwhelming perfect score in the educational demonstration evaluation. Even I almost learned it because I was tempted?”
“… … ?”
“I don’t think Instructor Akina doesn’t know because she didn’t serve as a supervisor during the evaluation… Instructor Edgar, an instructor who doesn’t need lecture practice.”
* * *
after the event.
Lecture practice that takes place at the appointed place.
Akina, who watched my simple demonstration, asked quietly.
“… Instructor Edgar. Where did you give a lecture before coming to the military academy?”
I answered honestly.
“I have given directions to family guests, but… .”
“… … .”
she was speechless
