I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

Cheryl opened the door and came out after thirty minutes.

“Ugh… .”

She was rubbing her temples with her fingers as if she had a headache.

“… … It was the first difficulty I had ever experienced in my life. Somehow I got two of them right, but I have no idea what to do with the third one.”

The Test of Wisdom is a gateway to test creativity and logical thinking.

According to Philip’s preliminary checks, the level of difficulty was similar to that of creativity quizzes found on the Internet and in educational magazines.

Familiar problems, such as how many matchsticks to make and how many raft trips to safely move a few wolves and sheep.

“To get two problems right from the start is amazing. Few people can do that.”

He praised Cheryl.

In an environment where only indoctrination has been received, it is common for people to not realize even the approach to such a problem.

“I knew you had a great imagination. It has been since the first time I saw you.”

“Ehehehehe, thank you.”

Cheryl, who was pleasantly listening to Philip’s praise, suddenly remembered the first meeting between herself and Philip.

As soon as he recalled his immersed self following the famous lines in the novel, the good mood subsided in an instant.

“Kind sensitivity and rich imagination are always helpful in any field. You don’t have to be ashamed of it. If you are conscious of the gaze of others, you will have no choice but to lose yourself someday.”

Reading Cheryl’s mind, Phillip lightly stroked her hair and said so.

‘He’s a strange person.’

Cheryl felt a strange sense of fulfillment and comfort in Philip’s touch. Besides, even though I barely spent time with him, it didn’t feel burdensome for some reason.

‘Is it because of what happened in the underground dungeon?’

Philip asked Cheryl, who thought so.

“If you answered both questions correctly, you would have been rewarded. May I ask what you got?”

“The monkey inside… My uncle recommended this.”

Cheryl replied and held out the black eyepatch she was holding in her hand. Philip recognized what the item was and nodded.

“You got something good. It is clear that you made the right recommendation.”

“Improve sleep efficiency and sleep a little… Uh, did you know?”

The simple name is ‘sleep eye patch’.

Whether it was a short nap or a deep sleep, it was an artifact that increased the efficiency of sleep-related activities. It didn’t give great abilities right away, but it was an item that would be of great help in the long run.

“then. Anyway, try hard until you get all five questions right. Oh, and can you wake up Janice Murella?”

“yes. Okay.”

Cheryl shakes the fainting Johnny to wake him up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she shuddered with a fearful expression, and as soon as she saw Philip, she quickly clung to him.

“Ah, inside, the ship, the vampire… .”

“It is all a dream, an illusion. What you saw is not real.”

After Phillip reassured her, Janice, who immediately grasped the situation, cleared her throat a few times before moving away from Philip.

“Hmm, keuh, I already knew that!”

“Okay, let’s go back now. It’s late.”

It was time for the sun to pass, so Philip took the two girls out of the Hall of Achievement.

On the way back to the plaza, Johnnys whispered to Cheryl while Philip was leading the way.

“Don’t go to the dormitory today, sleep with me.”

“why?”

“It sounds like a nightmare.”

As magicians, they didn’t know how sensitive Philip’s hearing was. Philip smiled and hurried his steps.

There are quite a few things to do from now on.

* * *

Returning to the villa, Philip first looked for Lua.

“Myaow.”

Lua was playing with Tania while lying on the bed. He was playing with Tania with his fingers instead of cat toys.

‘Is that the violent cat?’

Philip called out to her with a bit of admiration for her unconventional affinity.

“Lua.”

“Oh, Instructor.”

“… Aside from allowing Tania into the bed, I want to ask if you both had a bath.”

Philip’s conclusion was that he hadn’t done anything because he was having fun with Tania. Originally, at this time, Lua, who should have just come out of the bath and was dry, looked a bit twitchy.

“sorry… .”

Lua lowered her head with a sullen expression. Philip smiled and beckoned, not intending to scold her more than for forgetting to take a bath.

“Okay, sit down. I have a few questions I want to ask you.”

“yes.”

Lua sat down on the bed. Philip asked, sitting next to her.

“How is your academy life these days?”

Lua, who brought her finger to her lips, pondered for a moment before answering.

“Mmm, that’s fun! It’s like learning things you don’t know, and a few days ago, we decided to become friends with Olivia and Anise.”

“How’s the swordsmanship class?”

“… It’s fun, but also a bit frustrating. Olivia and Anis say it’s difficult… I’m not. But I think the kids will hate it if I say that.”

“Good job. Because each person is good at something different.”

In fact, Lua’s learning speed was extraordinary. A young girl who had never held a sword before learned how to properly hold a sword in less than two months.

In addition, the basic physical specifications were also amazing. Philip had never seen Lua tired before.

Her strength, elasticity, and flexibility are unmatched by other girls her age.

Philip felt that the time had come.

Looking at the child’s expression and comfortable atmosphere, it seemed that his mental health had improved to some extent.

“Luah. If you want, I’d like to teach you myself.”

“yes?”

Lua tilted her head at the sudden suggestion.

“It is literally. I intend to teach you swordsmanship and many other things. You don’t have to, and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to. I’m satisfied with you attending the academy as well as you are now.”

This was Philip’s sincerity.

Even if left alone, Lua had a talent that would one day reach the extreme of a sword, and Philip thought it would be okay for her to go to the academy, make friends, and live immersed in pretty clothes and delicious snacks.

I could have left it like that for at least two years.

“… I don’t know, but if I could stay with the instructor for a long time, I would.”

After thinking for a moment, Lua replied.

“huh?”

The reason was a little strange, so Philip looked at Lua with his eyes wide open.

Lua twisted her body around as if she was a bit shy and continued talking in a small voice.

“You are always busy these days. The maids and butlers treat me kindly, but I still like the instructor.”

Feeling the gaze staring at her, Lua thought.

Actually, I couldn’t really explain it. Philip laughed with her when she laughed, and was at a loss when she was sad. That was enough for young Lua.

“Then let’s get started. Come see me after class from tomorrow. There are some kids who are older than you, but they are nice and will get along well with you.”

“yes!”

Lua answered excitedly. Then he grabbed Philip’s arm.

“Then are you sisters or brothers?”

“There are two girls and one boy.”

“I’m a commoner, but will my older sisters and older brothers like me? Can’t the instructor ask us to be friendly?”

“I’d be happy if you wanted to, but I don’t think you should. A child named Cheryl is also a commoner. If you go to the library, you can meet them, so make friends.”

Until midnight like that, Philip was held by Lua.

The fourteen-year-old was the master of forgetting that she had the ability to talk all day without getting tired.

“I thought I just had to put my name on the club.”

Stefan Bray was caught by Cheryl and dragged to a warehouse near the back mountain. He couldn’t refuse a request from Cheryl, who had grown up like a brother and sister.

“… So are you complaining?”

Johnny glared lightly at him. Stefan flinched and shook his head.

“no. miss.”

These 3rd graders had just come to the conclusion that they would help Philip clean the warehouse building. Philip said he didn’t have to worry about it, but it didn’t seem like the case for the instructor in charge to let him clean alone.

“Don’t call me lady, call me by name. I decided to be friends with Cheryl, but if you act so rigid, Cheryl will be a burden.”

Janis brusquely shot back.

Stefan was startled and looked back and forth between Cheryl and Johnny.

“yes? Miss, are you Cheryl?”

Cheryl stabbed him in the side while he was embarrassed by the relationship between the ruler and the god, who had quickly become a dog’s genealogy.

“… Just do it. young master.”

“Sheryl, you too, stop calling that foolish bastard. From now on, the three of us will be friends at the academy… Wow! Instructor! You were surprised!”

Johnny, who was trying to put an end to the relationship between the three at the risk of embarrassment, saw Philip approaching and screamed in surprise.

“sorry. It looks good, go ahead.”

Philip said and waved his hand.

“It’s okay.”

Johnny shook his head and snorted.

The three students who belonged to the travel department found a girl holding Philip’s hand.

She was a lovely girl with brown hair and full cheeks that made her smile just by looking at her.

“I am a freshman who will join our travel department in a month. I am also a student that I personally sponsor. I brought you because I thought it would be nice to get to know you sooner rather than later.”

Even the students had heard rumors. The story of the new student sponsored by the Oswald family was brief, but it was a hot potato at the academy.

“Greetings, Lua.”

“… yes.”

When Philip urged her, Lua stepped forward and bowed her head.

“hello. My name is Lua. I’m a freshman in the swordsmanship department. i look forward to.”

Cheryl or Stefan casually greeted her and introduced himself.

“hi? I’m Cheryl, and I work at the library. Do you like books?”

“Stefan Braida, a third-year student at the Faculty of Magic. Nice to meet you.”

However, Johnny looked at Lua in silence before opening his mouth.

“I am Johnnys Murella. I am the fourth in the direct line of the Murella family.”

Seeing this, Philip tilted his head. For some reason, it seemed that Janice was nervous.

“i look forward to… .”

Lua made an uneasy expression as if she felt a little pressured by her aristocratic posture and tone of voice.

‘No, I didn’t mean to do this.’

Johnny just didn’t know how to treat a junior two years younger.

She had three older brothers, the youngest brother eight years older than her.

Philip looked at the children greeting each other happily and suddenly said,

“… Now that it’s like this, it wouldn’t hurt to clean up and decorate this place together. It’s a space you guys will use in the future, so if you clean it up yourself, you’ll be more attached to it. If you have any furniture or items you want, let me know. I will provide everything you need to enter.”

‘I just wish I could call someone.’

‘Do we really clean up?’

‘I’ve never done anything like this before. That’s what maids and servants do.’

The three students thought so and looked at each other. But soon I had no choice but to pack gloves, a broom, and a cloth to cover my mouth and nose and go into the dusty storage room.
