How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

28 – Attendance, I will call (2)

＜Welcome to the Tristan Hero Academy!＞

A huge banner the size of a gate was hung at the front gate of the military academy.

It is a sign to let you know that the beginning of the semester has come in earnest, and a greeting to welcome the hero cadets who will be entering as freshmen.

As if to announce the beginning, there were heroes wearing various costumes running around the school.

Faced with a huge crowd, I really felt that a new semester had returned.

“Are you feeling new?”

“hmm?”

I turned my head at the words Ray suddenly brought out from the side.

“Didn’t you visit this place as a cadet until last year? I asked because I thought you would feel different.”

“ah. hahahaha, yes It was.”

He laughs awkwardly at a fact he had forgotten for a while.

Come to think of it, I was a cadet at the military academy until last year.

Immediately after returning, he took the instructor test and quickly adapted to this job by handling various cases, but on the outside, he was just a new instructor who had just started his social life.

‘It’s his own consideration.’

I felt Ray subtly trying to catch me like that.

To shake off the past as a student and start anew as an instructor.

He’s so blunt that he doesn’t show it off well, but that kind of consideration was buried in a single word that wasn’t a big deal.

“Still, I don’t feel like I was a student at all.”

“Is that so.”

“hmm. After all, when I was a student, I went to the Faculty of Magic. Aren’t the buildings and the people around them all different now? There is no similar feeling at all.”

“-understand.”

The Faculty of Swordsmanship and the Faculty of Magic are located quite far from each other within the Military Academy.

If the Faculty of Swords occupied the right lot when the Military Academy was divided into the center, most of the buildings in the Faculty of Magic were placed on the left lot.

Even if you decide to go, it will take quite a long time.

Thanks to that, I haven’t been to the Faculty of Magic since I was appointed as an instructor.

In fact, I was very worried when I was appointed as an instructor because I spread so many notorious rumors when I was a cadet.

“What’s your schedule for today, Ray?”

“It’s empty except for the Balut Sword Mastery class scheduled for the morning. Instructor Akina asked for joint research in the afternoon, but the request came suddenly today, so we’re still withholding the answer.”

Except for the morning schedule, it is empty.

… In a word, there is nothing other than lectures.

At the brief schedule report, I asked her back while scratching my head.

“Is that really the end?”

“That’s right.”

“… Was being an instructor originally such an idle job?”

“It’s because Edgar-sama is a new instructor, so the number of lectures assigned to him is small. There is only one time zone allotted for the Balut method.”

Usually, when an instructor opens a lecture, two or three are opened at different times.

However, my ＜Balut sword method＞ is a lecture that will be opened for the first time this year.

Besides, I, the opening instructor, was also the new instructor selected this time.

Of course, the time slot to be allocated was bound to be limited.

Perhaps, if you get good grades and evaluations this semester, you will be able to increase the number sufficiently next semester.

I nodded, feeling that I still had a long way to go.

“okay. Then, accept Instructor Akina’s request as well. I don’t have any plans for this afternoon.”

“All right.”

“ah. Also, come as an assistant to the morning Balut swordsmanship class, Ray.”

stop-.

Ray, who was quietly organizing paperwork, stopped at my words.

And he looks at me with curious eyes.

“I am… You mean?”

“hmm.”

“Edgar, I am an assassin hero.”

“Does not matter. It’s my job to teach the sword anyway. The role you will play is a little more detailed. It could be a light practice sparring partner, or it could be a work assistant related to lectures. Whatever it is, it will be of sufficient help to the lecture. and… ”

It’s not very common for instructors to have assistants in their lectures, but I had intended to lecture with Ray from the beginning.

Both as a butler and as an assistant.

Since she has shown herself to be very competent, she will be of great help even after entering the class.

And above all -.

“Because you are here, I am also mentally comfortable.”

When an unexpected situation occurs during class, a person who will handle the administration calmly and neatly.

A teaching assistant who is superior to me, the instructor, in a specific field.

That was Ray.

With these reasons, I thought it would be enough to convince the logical Ray.

“… … .”

However, she is somehow avoiding my gaze with her head lowered.

I was taken aback by the unexpected reaction.

what.

you don’t want to do it?

* * *

Kayla entered the classroom with a pounding heart.

This semester, the lecture on ＜Balut Swordsmanship＞ will be held in Building 3 of the Faculty of Swordsmanship.

The theory is in the classroom room 311, practice is in the 7th gymnasium-.

However, as today was the first class, it was announced in advance that it would only be conducted in theory, so Kaela was headed to classroom 311.

“It’s not a big place like the main auditorium.”

＜Balut Sword＞ is a small class with no more than 30 students from the initial capacity.

Of course, the class room wasn’t that big either.

But Khaela liked that more.

The military academy class she had always dreamed of was working closely with instructors and receiving detailed instruction.

I hoped for a special lecture where I could fully express my overflowing passion.

In that sense.

＜Balut Sword Technique＞ was a lecture that appealed to Kaela.

“Furthermore, the instructor in charge, Master… ego.”

Instructor in charge, Edgar Mullick.

Kaela, who suddenly gave him the title ‘Master’, immediately lowered her head as if she were embarrassed.

“You’re crazy, you’re crazy.”

Although she had never called Edgar out to him yet, Kaela deep down considered him her teacher.

Isn’t that so?

He is the one who made her fate’s ‘second fork in the road’ bloom, and the gift that made her take her first step as a swordsman in her first real battle with monsters.

If Kaela had been training while concentrating on handling the sword until now, this hero made it possible for her to fight while breathing with the sword.

That was Edgar.

However, the title of Master was a bit awkward.

“Who is Master?”

By the time Kayla was beating her head like that.

A soft voice came from somewhere.

A face so cute that you can’t help but think that it’s refreshing.

Contrary to Caella, who was light green, her hair was light blue.

In addition, the exterior overflows with elegance in some way-.

He wasn’t an ordinary looking hero.

“Who, who are you?”

“ah. Nice to meet you. My name is Mirn Tilope. Balut Sword is a lecture for first-year students, right?”

Mir and Tilope.

It’s a name I’ve never heard of, but I’ve heard of the surname ‘Tilope’ at the end.

One of the most prestigious magic families in the kingdom along with the Mullique marquis family.

In particular, Count Eden Tilope, the head of the house, was a man with both power and prestige as the owner of the Northern Mage Tower.

Since she was the daughter of a major guild in the kingdom, Kayla was quick to get this kind of information.

She bowed her head in a natural manner.

“It is an honor to meet the son of the Tilope family… ”

“oh. All right, all right. What manners do you have with fellow cadets? And these days, all heroes are nobles, well. just relax I’m comfortable with that too.”

“… Is that okay?”

“of course!”

Unexpectedly, Mirenne had an easy-going and cool personality.

A cadet who cares only about his abilities as a hero, regardless of his status.

There was a side that was subtly similar to Kayla, who was lively and only knew swords.

Thanks to that, they had only met for less than 10 minutes, but the two were able to quickly become friends by exchanging names.

“But what do you mean by Master? Kayla, have you ever learned anything from Instructor Edgar?”

“ah. “There was a time when Edgar became famous for hunting Keleil.”

“You know, you know! “I also learned about Instructor Edgar through that.”

“I was with him at the time, and he gave me a brief lesson. “I got to hunt monsters during the mission.”

“ah… okay?”

Moment.

Miren’s eyes became strangely colored.

However, Kaela, who did not notice this, smiled awkwardly and answered.

“That doesn’t mean we have become priests. They just call me Master. lol. “You are truly a gift to me.”

“Um… I see.”

It’s about time the story blossoms with that common theme.

With a loud noise, students began to enter the classroom one after another.

Some of them came in groups, while others, like Kayla and Mirenne, came alone.

‘uh?’

However, as Kayla looked at them, she caught something strange.

One is that most of the students are dressed in high-class clothes.

In fact, in this day and age, as long as you have money, you can wear any kind of luxurious clothes, but through the different patterns on their chests… I could see that they were nobles with their respective families.

and second.

This one was actually more unusual than the first one.

“Mir.”

“huh?”

“The kids who come into this lecture, why are they all noble ladies… ?”

The fact that more than half of the students are ‘women’.

From the moment he became a hero, the expression ‘lady’ was awkward, but anyway, female aristocrats who would have grown up with the love of their families were seated one by one in the classroom.

“Oh, that? yeah… .”

At Kayla’s question, Mirenne opened her mouth.

Kki-Ik-.

at the same time.

I opened the classroom door and a man came in from the front.

Bright blonde hair and blue eyes.

A tall, well-equipped body.

Anyone can see that he looks like a nobleman, but the sword he possesses and the aura he exudes can never be taken lightly.

And when he drew that sword, he was an undisputed hero who surprised the kingdom many times.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Edgar Mullik, the instructor who will be teaching you Balut swordsmanship this semester.”

Instructor in charge of this course.

Edgar Mulick.

At his splendid appearance, Mirenne quietly continued.

“… there it comes in The reason.”
