I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

Philip headed to the men’s dormitory. Neria asked as he walked up proudly.

-master. You don’t wear a disguise?

“Why am I in disguise?”

―That’s right, it’s natural to secretly investigate something like this… .

“stealthily? Who is secretly investigating? It’s enough just to go in and see.”

—… something is not funny

In the academy, the instructor’s authority was greater than expected. It was enough to search the dormitory under the pretext of searching for prohibited items.

Although he did not receive permission, Philip intended to make a preliminary action candidate report.

The first subject of investigation is Kylian Balbion, a first year male student.

A slender figure with long black hair.

Although he had a quiet and timid personality, he was a student who faithfully followed the lessons.

‘I’m sorry for seeming suspicious, but I can’t help it.’

It was much better for both Kylian and Philip to prove his innocence quickly than to hesitate because of his conscience.

Killian’s room was room 506.

Standing in front of the door, Philip felt a presence on the inside and opened the door silently.

“Ugh… uh huh… Olivia… .”

Then, I saw a boy sitting at a desk, covering his head and weeping. The boy was apparently Kylian Balbion.

Philip asked, bewildered.

“… Hey, what are you doing?”

“Ahh! who are you?”

Kylian Balbion jumped up in surprise when he finally found Philip.

“Kyo, Instructor, how is this… … ?”

“… It is natural for instructors to frequently check that the space where students live is safe. Why were you crying more than that? Is there anything I can do to help?”

At Philip’s question, Kilian shook his head hastily.

“no… big… doesn’t exist.”

“okay? Good thing. Enough then.”

“Wait a minute, Instructor! Actually there is!”

As Philip was about to leave, Kylian quickly clung to him. Philip smiled awkwardly as he carefully pushed him away.

“okay. What can I help you with?”

Killian opened his mouth with a spleen expression as if he had made a big decision.

“Instructor… Actually, I confessed to Miss Nues yesterday.”

“Nues? Olivia Nues?”

Philip remembered the girl Kilian had spoken about.

The daughter of a baron family with her hair tied back in pigtails.

Obviously, she was pretty enough to win the hearts of the boys, but at this point, it was too early.

‘It’s only been over a month since the semester started, and they’re already confessing?’

The behavioral power of young students sometimes deviated from the common sense of adults. Philip looked at Kylian with admiration.

I thought he was just a timid student, but I didn’t expect him to be this hot.

“… yes. That Miss Nues. The instructor said it during the observation class. You are an expert in relationship counseling.”

‘That’s just what I said.’

Philip thought so, but he couldn’t say no here, so he nodded.

“Obviously it was. it’s true too But it seems you have already failed.”

“Well, how did you know that? Are there rumors already?”

“If you succeed, why would you need my help?”

“That’s right.”

Killian sniffed with a dark expression.

“… I didn’t even have a chance to say everything I had prepared. She cuts off as if she already knows what I’m going to do and says, ‘Sorry, I’m not interested in dating or anything yet,’ and then just walks away.”

Philip nodded. The Olivia Nues she knew was a smart, articulate girl for her age, so it wouldn’t be surprising if that reaction came back.

―Why are you looking for an assassin and giving dating advice?

Neria asked. Phillip fed her a chestnut into the doorknob to tell her to be quiet.

―Oh! too much!

“Don’t ask first. Have you ever talked to Olivia Nues alone?”

When Philip asked, Kylian shook his head.

“no.”

“From my point of view, you don’t seem to be very close to him, but did you confess it was love at first sight?”

As if taken by surprise, he gasped, and Killian replied yes.

“Then, it was only natural that I was rejected. Think carefully. I don’t even know what kind of person you are, so wouldn’t he have a reason to go out with you?”

“… Why?”

“Why do you like him?”

“In the humanities class last week… … .”

Killian told a long, wordy story.

To sum it up, while a humanities professor was scolding a student who couldn’t do homework because he was sick, Olivia Nues took the place and supported the student.

“… That bold and smart look was so beautiful.”

“So you confessed?”

“yes. I felt like they would recognize my courage if I mustered up the courage to confess.”

After hearing all the explanations, Philip nodded and thought.

‘First of all, he’s not an assassin.’

It was too stupid to be an assassin disguised as a student to avoid suspicion.

“It didn’t show courage, it showed that you were a careless person. But it’s not too late. If you show your strengths in front of him from now on, he will also realize that he was wrong. What do you think are your strengths?”

Still, Philip tried to be sincere in his counseling. Killian pondered for a moment before answering in a muttered tone.

“My strengths… do you mean I have no idea.”

“You just lose.”

“yes?”

“No, no. Then why don’t you find your strengths first? Olivia Nues, so he can see your strengths and like you.”

At Philip’s last words, Kylian’s expression brightened as if he had realized something.

“… Instructor is right. I guess I was too hasty.”

“okay. You still have a lot left in your academy life, so try your best.”

Philip said that and left the room.

―Are you able to get rid of your doubts so easily?

Neria asked curiously.

“If his acting skills were at that level, he would not have been dispatched to the academy, but rather to the imperial palace. And I didn’t notice anything strange about it. The magical powers he possessed also seemed normal. If it wasn’t for the other kids, I’d have to take another look.”

―Anyway, kids these days are really skinny. If you came to the academy, you should think about studying, and already thinking about falling in love, so the continent is now like this.

“Oh yeah. I guess so.”

Philip answered roughly and headed to the next place.

It was to check the second candidate student, ‘Collins Chamber’.

However, Philip, who entered Room 504, had to come out without earning any income.

Collins Chamber was a mediocre and diligent student.

―What kind of books and clothes do you have? He doesn’t know how to buy the world for fun.

Listening to Neria’s impressions, Philip headed to the next location.

‘It feels strong.’

This Assassin’s event was changed based on the difficulty of the original game.

From easy to hard difficulty, traces of the assassin can be easily found and the level of the assassin is also low.

‘no way… Probably not.’

However, after looking back at the women’s dormitory, Philip was soon convinced.

“This was a bit of a mess.”

—… What if this is the case? Aren’t there assassins?

“That’s not right. Assassins are unconditional. But I guess it will take some time.”

Philip immediately headed outside the academy to the shopping district. Black was required to carry out the new plan.

* * *

As the sun began to set, Philip took Neria and headed for the tall clock tower in the plaza of the academy.

The clock tower was 6 stories high, based on the dormitory building, and was about the size of a farm.

‘If what I know is correct, this must be the hideout.’

This was originally a space where students were not allowed to enter. The clocks in this world were truly super-expensive, with advanced magic condensed, so thousands of gold coins might fly away if touched incorrectly.

If you played as the main character, you could only enter after going through all the preliminary work and turning your gaze away from the guards patrolling, but it was easy for the instructor Philip.

“That, Instructor. Do I have to enter the clock tower… ?”

The guard in charge of the academy’s night security, Soron, looked at Philip with anxious eyes.

‘No, why would a swordsmanship instructor want to come here?’

After working at the academy for three years, he first experienced a swordsmanship instructor who wanted to enter the clock tower.

“If there is a problem, I will take full responsibility. If there is a disadvantage for letting me in, I will take responsibility and recommend you to Yousef Corporation. Oh, and don’t worry if I don’t show up.”

“… If you say that, it can’t be helped.”

As Philip confidently asserted, Soron, the guard, opened the entrance to the clock tower as if he had no choice. In the first place, he had no authority to stop faculty from entering.

Entering the clock tower, Philip looked inside.

It was full of unknown mechanisms and magical devices.

A clock tower like this was a facility that was difficult to have even in any magic tower, but it was possible because the dean of the Pribia Academy was a person called the great sage for generations.

―Are you just waiting here for the so-called assassin to come?

“okay. There is no guarantee that it is necessarily a person.”

Philip climbed the stairs slowly and reached the top of the clock tower.

It was a place full of dashboards and devices that only wizards could possibly know the purpose of.

‘I need a place to hide.’

Searching for a quiet, secluded spot where he could hide as much as possible, Phillip soon found a pillar completely in shadow.

“It would be nice here.”

Philip moved to the back of the pillar and tore the scroll of silence magic he had brought beforehand.

It was a scroll obtained from visiting Instructor Ferek.

―By the way, Master, what if the assassin doesn’t show up today?

To Neria’s question, Philip answered with an astringent expression.

“… How to do it? You should stay here all night tomorrow as well.”

-Is that right?

“Originally, undercover work is like this. You’re holding out until it comes out. Please join us in praying for her to appear soon.”

That’s what he said, but Philip was sure that Crescent’s assassin would appear today.

She should have found out by now that Rizriel had requested protection from the academy. If so, there was a very high probability that they would appear here as a hiding place.

However, since you don’t know at what moment it will appear, you have to keep the tension.

I couldn’t sit down, and even though my nose tickled, I couldn’t even sneeze.

A few hours later, someone appeared at the top of the clock tower, where not even flying insects were looking for.

“Ohh~”

The identity of that someone was a black cat. I didn’t know how it got in, but the cat stretched out and waggled its tail a short distance from Philip.

– Meow. master. Look over there. It’s a cat. be cute too

Neria chuckled and liked it, but Philip swallowed slowly without making a sound.

That cat was the assassin Philip had been waiting for.
