chapter 30
30 – Instructor, progress is too fast (1)
Tristan Hero Academy, Administrative Department of Swordsmanship.
An office located on the 3rd floor of Building 1, where all major facilities in the Faculty of Swordsmanship are gathered.
The area around it was crowded with quite a lot of people from the first week of class.
In fact, the administrative departments of each department are usually busiest during the first week of classes.
You must manage the large number of cadets who are starting their school life in earnest, and adjust lecture-related aspects such as their course corrections and course cancellations.
In addition, because the requests of the instructors in charge of this were processed in batches, the first week was bound to be busy and hectic every day.
however.
Even taking that into account, the swordsmanship department’s administrative office was particularly busy right now.
The reason is that.
This would be common in all countries with an administrative office, but it was also due to the cadets’ ‘complaints’.
“Why on earth is it not possible? “Aren’t course changes something that cadets can do as they please?”
A noble cadet speaks passionately with a deeply resentful expression.
The administrative staff who was sitting in the seat answered without making proper eye contact with him.
“According to the regulations, course corrections due to simple change of heart or personal fault are not permitted. This is something I have already said several times.”
“It’s not just a change of heart, the instructor… !!”
The instructor is a jerk-.
The aristocratic cadet who was about to say that suddenly shuts up.
Although angry, the opponent was the second son of the great Marquis Mullique.
It is a status that can never be treated carelessly, and the family’s reputation is also enormous.
If you say something wrong, you could be put on trial for contempt.
On the day when such news was delivered in the aristocratic society, sparks could spark not only in the individual but also in the family.
As the aristocratic cadet managed to swallow his words in such a judgment, the administrative staff who was watching this asked with an interesting face.
“The instructor again… ?”
“Again, they only give you the same training! No, in the first place, they teach swordsmanship, so why are you giving them physical training? Isn’t that what you do in liberal arts lectures?”
Fortunately, the cadet creates a place to escape.
Seeing that, the administrative staff swallowed their appetites as if they were sorry.
Then, he turned his attention to the documents again and brought up a principled story.
“well. The contents of the training in the practice course are the sole authority of the instructor. It is not an area that can be discussed in the administrative office. Besides, basic strength training is one of the recommended practice subjects within the Faculty of Swordsmanship.”
“Ugh, what the hell… !!”
“Cadet Dwayne. Surely you didn’t come to the administrative office and ask for an extra seat a month ago?”
“… … !!”
Ironically, most of the cadets who put in these complaints were the ones who asked for an additional seat in <Balut Swordsmanship>, citing the authority of the nobility and the name of the family.
As soon as the lecture started, those who did so flocked in and whined about corrections and cancellations-.
No matter how snobbish the administration of the Department of Swordsmanship was, they couldn’t keep up with such ridiculous requests.
In addition, the instructor in charge of the course was Edgar Mullick.
Because there was nothing to lose in the value of the family name, the administrative office staff were able to handle their work with confidence.
“What’s going on?”
After complaints from noble cadets were swept aside.
A clear voice came to the exhausted employee.
It was Akina Crowlin, the most famous person in the swordsmanship department.
“Instructor Akina.”
“There are a lot of complaints from cadets today? “What did you do in undergrad?”
“Oh, that’s… .”
The administrative staff slowly explained what had happened yesterday and today.
<Balut sword method> where the first lecture was given yesterday.
The fact that Edgar Mullik, the instructor in charge, declared a ‘war against the aristocratic cadets’.
As a strong reaction against him, a huge number of complaints have been pouring in since this morning.
The administrative department of the Faculty of Swordsmanship cut off their complaints like a knife in accordance with the regulations, but in fact, it was quite difficult to accept the complaints of students from aristocratic families as they were.
Hearing all this, Akina burst into laughter with an interesting look on her face.
“Did Instructor Edgar really do those things?”
“yes? Ah yes. Didn’t you know? There was an uproar in the department yesterday.”
“Didn’t you say anything when you were co-researching with me yesterday?”
“That’s it… You probably didn’t feel the need to tell me. Maybe you thought you knew.”
“and. I really didn’t know. It was my first lecture yesterday, so I am very busy.”
Akina who likes to clap her hands a few times.
In her clear eyes, there was a thought that this work was really fun.
Some aristocratic cadets who were called the bane of the faculty.
In fact, Akina had also thought of trying to catch that kind of class, but the aristocratic cadets who noticed her attitude would not apply for her lectures at all, and they would naturally fall apart.
If a cadet does not register for classes, the instructor has no way to hold him back.
Therefore, it was difficult to find a suitable solution for such foolish noble cadets.
‘But instructor Edgar solved it… .’
This was the result of a mixture of complex factors.
Because it was a lecture given by a new instructor, the cadets took it easy.
Also, since it was a lecture given by Edgar, a fellow nobleman, I expected it to be easy.
And above all, Edgar Mullik was famous for being a cadet during his time as a cadet.
– Will a hero who only played around as a cadet do his job properly when he becomes an instructor?
Apart from his well-known skills, it was a prediction that could be made because we know his personality well.
And this is.
Starting from yesterday, it was smashed as if to show off.
Edgar Mulick was an instructor who was as serious about education as Jackson was, and who was as unconcerned with status as Akina.
All the aristocrats who had different families in the background in front of him were given a true education.
-The madman really educated the madmen!
It was a story that was currently circulating as a joke within the Swordsmanship Faculty.
“really… He’s a really fun guy. Instructor Edgar.”
Akina muttered with a smile on her face.
Originally, I thought he was a junior worth teaching, but now he has gone beyond that and become an essential instructor for the swordsmanship department.
I think that the fellow instructors who probably opposed Edgar’s selection of instructors in the early days would have fully acknowledged it now.
As much as that, the appearance he shows in the undergraduate school is very intense, even though it was a short time.
Akina turned her head and looked at the administrative staff.
“If you continue to visit noble cadets and give them trouble, tell me by my name. no. Give us your family name.”
“yes yes?”
At the sudden declaration of a bomb, the eyes of the administrative staff widened like a lantern.
Akina smiled slightly and continued.
“Crowfly and Mullique both support each other, so no one will protest by citing the family, right?”
“Muh, of course!!”
It was the moment when the last hope disappeared for the cadets who had taken the <Balut method of swordsmanship>.
* * *
Faculty of Swordsmanship Building 1, 2nd floor.
In this place where each instructor’s lab was lined up, my lab was also standing tall.
<Room 217 Lab>
-Instructor: Edgar Mulick (Instructor/Level 3)
-Teacher: Ray (-)
There are no common 5th grade discipline instructors or cadet assistants.
Ray and me
A small laboratory with only two people.
In particular, since Ray was recruited from outside, he did not have an assigned position within the faculty.
Nonetheless, the processing of work within the laboratory is at a level close to perfection.
I’ve never had the thought that there is a shortage of staff.
Rather, it was my laboratory that I felt full every time I came.
“Edgar. This is the theoretical material needed for the next class.”
“hmm.”
Ray collects the data that was handed over in advance and hands it over to me.
As expected, even with Ray, preparation for class is sufficient.
I accepted this and outlined the lecture for the next day.
“There is a lot of talk within the faculty because of yesterday’s lecture.”
“is it?”
“yes. Most of the cadets are willing to drop out of classes, but the administration doesn’t seem to accept it easily. In addition, there are evaluations that the basic physical training conducted in the lecture yesterday was a little excessive.”
“hmm.”
The reaction came out exactly as expected.
Actually, I don’t want to teach the cadets who aren’t so enthusiastic, but if I send them all away, the number could be less than 30.
Then, it was a matter of seconds to get to the number of people who closed the class, so I had no intention of letting them go easily.
‘and… Well, it’s worth teaching.’
From before, it was my specialty to directly reform these fools.
Even those who seemed to have no ability at the moment were able to grow into a good swordsman after taking my lessons.
Even for my instructor performance, I wanted to teach them.
“Do you have anything to say?”
Then, a sharp gaze from the left.
As I turned my gaze to that direction, Ray tilted his head and asked.
“Something… I wondered if Edgar-sama wasn’t very interested in teaching the students.”
“It is a misunderstanding.”
It sounds like a joke because I said it so many times, but this time it was real.
“I’m not joking, it’s really a misunderstanding. I am confident enough to turn the hearts of cadets who wish to drop out of classes to the lecture. In addition, the basic physical training that was carried out like corporal punishment yesterday was actually necessary for the lecture.”
“… Is that so?”
“hmm. The Balut Sword is a sword that shows great efficiency on the battlefield. Most of the herbivores specialize in slashing large numbers, so they consume a lot of stamina. This is why cadets need solid physical strength before starting classes.”
On the surface, it would appear that I rolled the cadets out of anger (which is partly true), but in reality, all of that was a necessary process.
I did not proceed with unnecessary education throughout the lecture.
The reason why he doesn’t pay much attention even though there is a lot of talk about yesterday.
It was because I gave my own lectures that I was satisfied with.
Ray nodded as if he understood this.
Knock knock-.
That’s how I was spurring the middle of the lecture with her.
Someone knocked on the lab door.
After class started, I opened the door right away, wondering if it was Instructor Akina who had been looking for me often… .
“… hmm?”
One student was standing in front of the lab.
Dark gray hair and empty eyes.
And even a clumsily clung sword.
I knew this cadet’s name.
“Cadet Reese?”
Of course you have to know
She is a cadet who took my <Balut sword method>.
Because he was a hero sacrificed for a roll disguised as yesterday’s training.
When I called his name, Reese nodded.
He even opened his mouth.
“I came because I wanted to ask you something. Edgar Mulick.”
… But why are you half?
