How to Live As a Returnee Munchkin Swordsman

5 – Instructor Test (2)

Countless heroes exist on the Heylan continent, and each country builds its own military academy to nurture talented heroes.

The Kingdom of Clepe was a country that made a name for itself among them.

Tristan, the capital of the kingdom.

The ‘Tristan Hero Academy’ was splendidly built within it.

As a military academy with a long tradition and extraordinary reputation, it has been a first-class contributor to the quality of heroes in the kingdom.

It was known that the level of education was so high that any hero candidate in the kingdom wished to enter.

In particular, as the heroes from Tristan played great roles in famously fierce battles such as the ‘Great War’ and the ‘Operation to Retake the North’, their reputation began to extend beyond the kingdom to the continent.

Now, it is one of the best hero academies on the continent.

That was the Tristan Hero Academy.

And as famous as it is.

Naturally, there were many people who wanted to work as instructors or employees.

“I don’t expect to be able to become an instructor. A research instructor, or even a discipline instructor would be fine. First of all, take the instructor test and enter the magic department of the military academy. To think that the son of the Mullique family is doing nothing but playing in the family… It’s impossible.”

My father suggested that I join as an instructor there.

No, it was a notice, not an offer.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, he looked very angry and said that if I didn’t go, he would sell my family register.

‘… It’s good that I went to the other world.’

I unknowingly let out a sigh of relief.

I almost died the first time I went, but looking at the situation now, I feel fortunate again.

Anyway, now that I’ve returned, I’m in a state where I have my own abilities, unlike before when I was an idiot.

In addition, seeing his father’s tough and impregnable attitude, he realized that the option of playing and eating as an unemployed for the rest of his family was impossible in the first place.

‘Instructor… It must be fun.’

I also got some interest.

In fact, in the meantime, I have enjoyed all the honors that can be enjoyed as a knight and as a person in power in the other world.

He served as the commander of the knights, commanded numerous subordinates under his command, and made a name for himself in the political world as a duke favored by His Majesty the Emperor.

Being active on the battlefield is always a daunting task, but I’ve been through so many times that I’m sick of it.

I also feel a bit tired.

If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, it’s a short 10 years.

In it, I have already experienced and achieved a lot.

And now that I have returned, I don’t want to do the work I used to do in the other world again.

I want to take it easy.

comfortably.

Still, sometimes I do something worthwhile-.

In that respect, the job of an instructor was the job that best met the conditions I wanted.

‘The sword that hasn’t been completed yet… Because I can make it anytime.’

Of course, I also have small goals.

I have dedicated my life to the sword, and I am still living and breathing where the sword is.

My own swordsmanship that I devoted my whole life to.

This was a long-cherished wish and personal desire as a swordsman.

However, completing an unfinished sword has nothing to do with job.

It was something I could do wherever I was and whatever job I had, whenever I had the time.

“Do I have to go to the Faculty of Magic?”

After thinking, I asked my father.

Being an instructor isn’t bad.

no, it’s rather good

However, the direction had to be somewhere other than magic.

“I said it clearly. Also, if you refuse your father’s offer, the family will name Edgar your name… !”

“Gee, calm down, Dad. It doesn’t mean that.”

He hurriedly calms down his father, who is about to turn hot-tempered.

And slowly explained why.

“As you well know, my mage’s talent isn’t that great. The first fork in the road was ＜Apprentice Wizard＞, and whatever the process was, my growth afterward had stopped.”

“… … ?”

For a moment, the father’s face is mixed with surprise and doubt.

The words I said were objectively correct, but it was a face that did not know that it would come out of my mouth.

A person who gave up on growing up as a wizard hero because of an inferiority complex, but had strong pride and did not bring up such a story.

Because that was me 10 years ago.

But it’s safe to say that I’m a completely different person than I was back then.

“I want to go to a different faculty than the Magic Faculty.”

“What the hell is that… No, wait.”

Those from the Faculty of Magic will apply for instructors from other faculties.

My father, who frowned at that nonsense, looked at me with a tilt of his head as if he had remembered something.

“Edgar you now… So you want to take the instructor exam?”

“yes? Ah yes. I can’t just hang out in the family, can I?”

“Oh, this can’t be… !”

My father got up from his seat, hesitantly, and came over to me with a look of disbelief and grabbed my shoulder.

“You’ve finally come to your senses, Edgar!”

“… yes?”

“When I turned down all the jobs my father suggested and stayed at home, I really wanted to throw myself into a monster hunting ground. I couldn’t believe that this guy came from our family.”

“… … .”

“You have to say it ten times to eat it! Still, I hear you somehow. hahahaha. Yeah, I’d be glad if I figured it out only ten times. It wasn’t as grumpy as I thought. After all, my son can’t be like that.”

… forgot for a while

My father is the head of the Great Magician family, and at the same time, he is a hero who has been active in the battlefield and has a lot of bones in the field.

Of course, he was as familiar with rough and crude words as I was in the other world.

However, as an aristocrat, he had endured all this time in order to maintain his dignity.

Once the reins are released, there is no time to stop them.

All the swear words that were pouring toward me were raw.

“… … .”

Involuntarily, I look sideways.

Ray just kept his head down as if he hadn’t heard anything.

‘No, why pretend not to know? You must have heard it too.’

Those words come out of nowhere.

… In the silence of a butler, the dignity of a war hero in the kingdom was being protected.

“okay. If you put your mind to it, that’s it. Use it wherever you want, whether it’s in the Faculty of Magic. This father will actively support you.”

Anyway, thanks to this, the atmosphere of the restaurant, which was like an ice field, quickly melted.

My father tapped me on the shoulder with a bright face.

As my father suggested, I will take the instructor test-.

I will get out of the family and start working.

With that one word, all conflicts were immediately resolved.

The appearance of the father as if the old jam had been washed away at once.

That’s how I got permission for ‘taking the instructor test at the swordsmanship department’ so easily.

‘… This isn’t it.’

I unknowingly scratch the back of my head.

… Clearly there was a lot to say.

I had a talent for swordsmanship, and I accidentally got my destiny as a ＜swordsman＞.

So, I’m going to take the instructor exam with the swordsmanship department, not the magic department-.

If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you my skills… .

There were so many words to convince my father, but they were all useless.

– The madman in the house wakes up and works!

My father was satisfied with just that fact.

“Come on, let’s start with dinner. It would have been nice to have Jane or Todd on a day like this, but it’s a pity.”

Jane Mulick is the eldest daughter of the family,

Todd Mulick is the second and eldest brother.

If it were me in the past, I would have had a bad relationship with my brothers, and my father would have known that, but if you dare to mention it… .

‘It means he’s in a really good mood right now.’

Other than that, I couldn’t understand it.

“Ray, sit down and eat too. ah. And tomorrow, I have to leave Edgar right away, so pack your things in advance today.”

“I understand, the head of the household.”

Father excitedly giving orders and Ray responding to them.

Looking at it, I smiled inwardly.

‘Still, I’m not in a bad mood.’

I used to be obsessed with an inferiority complex and thought only that my gifted father and brothers hated me.

Despite the fact that I was the one who betrayed the family’s expectations and acted like an idiot.

But looking at it now, it’s not like that again.

Although he was a nobleman, he had the heart of a fairly ordinary father.

‘Were you just worried about your son’s future?’

Maybe it was just my own illusion that I thought I was being ignored by him.

I just hope my son doesn’t stray and finds his own job.

Rather than simply relying on the glory of the family, I want to do something productive no matter what.

That was all.

It was the moment when I learned a new side of my father, whom I thought was only strict.

‘I’ll have to submit the application form tomorrow.’

Anyway, I got permission from my father lightly, and I was able to prepare to become an instructor in the swordsmanship department.

It looks like there will be quite a lot of work to do tomorrow.

You have to prepare for the instructor exam and adapt to the world you have returned to.

I’ll have to redefine my relationship with people from my family I’m not familiar with yet.

‘ah.’

Then I tilt my head for a moment.

Suddenly, a question crossed my mind.

‘… Could a graduate from the Faculty of Magic be able to apply as an instructor for the Faculty of Swordsmanship?’

It was an unexpected reef.
