I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

There is no guarantee that creative ideas will always produce good results.

Stefan’s plan to anchor the tent with nails to the trees was quite ingenious, but no one had the skills to carry it out.

In the end, Felicia, who was worse off, had to kindly teach the students how to set up the tent without supports.

“When you drive in the nails to support the tent, you have to twist the knot once and fix it firmly. That way, it won’t unravel over time and the fabric will be pulled tight.”

The students of the Faculty of Magic who came across the newspaper were surprised to learn that a plausible tent was completed in just ten minutes after she intervened.

“It’s really great!”

Cheryl’s eyes twinkled in admiration. Felicia proposed with an awkward smile as if burdened.

“Then why don’t you light a fire and eat something? I haven’t eaten breakfast, so I’m a little hungry.”

‘By the way, where did he go?’

Felicia resented Philip for disappearing before she knew it and started piling dry branches one by one. It was comforting to not have to worry about embers because there were three wizards.

A moment later, just as the smell of boiling soup began to spread from the pot on the campfire, Philip returned.

“Where have you been, Instructor?”

Philip answered roughly.

“I went to see if there was a monster or something nearby.”

It was a reasonable reason in its own way, so Felicia had no choice but to turn her head away while making grunts.

“… Sup.”

The soup with salty beef jerky, quality sheep’s milk cheese, and mashed potatoes was the best meal to enjoy outdoors. Even though it wasn’t finished yet, the students gulped at the fantastic smell.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a luxurious soup. During class, I think they ate soup that tasted like they were boiled with boots in them, saying they were creating a field environment.”

Soon, the party recovered their energy after a hearty meal.

“So, what do we do now?”

Suddenly, Stefan asked.

“How about exploring the lake? Maybe you guys will discover the anomaly that was rumored.”

Philip suggested.

With nothing to do, the offer was easily accepted.

For teenage boys and girls, a new place is always an adventure, and a scenic lake is no better.

“Me and the professor will be here, so you guys can go by yourself. I didn’t see anything dangerous nearby, so it should be safe to go by yourself. If anything happens, I’ll call you here.”

“yes. Okay.”

When the students leave, Philip is left alone with Felicia.

“What are we doing?”

“well. How about sleeping or sighing? It looks like you worked late yesterday.”

As Philip said, Felicia hasn’t been able to rest properly for the past few days.

The schedule at the beginning of the semester was murderous enough to tire even her as a trained prosecutor, and today, if it hadn’t been for Philip’s request, she would have to deal with academic affairs at the academy.

“… Then I’ll get some sleep. Just two hours.”

After Felicia said that, she pushed her arm up and stretched it. After that, I looked around to see if I was looking for something good to cut.

“Haaam. You must wake me up.”

As soon as she laid down on her backpack, Felicia fell asleep with even breathing. Phillip looked at him and smiled.

“okay. sleep well.”

Everything was going according to plan. He made sure that Felicia was completely asleep and left the camp.

‘Kids are kids, and I should take care of mine first.’

It was time to achieve the real purpose of coming here.

Philip untied the neria from the side of his backpack and put it around his waist.

—… haam. Where are you going to fight?

Neria’s voice was mixed with drowsiness.

“Well, that’s how it is. If you want to sleep more, shall we wear another sword?”

―Are you going to say that sadly every day?

“Damn it, damn it. Is there really nothing you can do?”

In a cave near ‘Mirage Lake’, a man in a blue robe was engrossed in an experiment on a magic lab.

Placed on the test table is a sky-blue translucent jewel. It was a gift he received from the fairy of the lake a few years ago. The man used the jewel to study the magical powers of fairies for several years.

A completely different power from magic and aura. If he could find out the secret of his ability to manipulate nature with only his will, like the dragon’s unique ability, ‘Dragon Word’, he would be able to remain in the history of magic academia forever.

‘What kind of law is the prank of fairies a phenomenon?’

He was deeply impressed by the pranks played by the forest fairies as a boy.

As a result of investing quite a long time in searching, he found this ‘Mirage Lake’, resigned from the Yellow Magic Tower he was in, and moved to the Blue Magic Tower, where he could deeply study water magic.

And for several years, he built up an affinity with the fairy of the lake, playing along with her pranks several times, studying and recording the phenomenon.

But nothing much was gained.

The innocent pranks of the good fairies weren’t enough to gather enough data.

A fairy’s mischief also deals with certain powers like magic, and there must be certain laws.

“… lack of data We need to observe a little more phenomena.”

Originally, it was taboo for wizards to study the power of fairies. The Mage Tower did not recommend recklessly stimulating supernatural beings, which are variables themselves.

However, if there is no stimulus, the phenomenon does not occur.

The man’s gaze turned to the crystal ball placed next to the test table. On the surface of the crystal ball, images of young boys and girls laughing and talking came to mind.

Judging by the school uniform, he was a student at Freevia Academy.

‘I’m sorry for you guys, but progress naturally comes with sacrifice.’

He has been preparing for this moment for a long time to come someday.

‘If you can make the lake fairy angry and observe the source of its power… … .’

Of course, the students in the crystal ball would pay the price, but the man was prepared to give up his conscience for magic.

Now, all he had to do was recite a spell, and the summoning spell hidden near the lake would be activated. It was a spell to summon the ‘Manticore’, an ancient monster they traded with a long time ago.

The manticore, called the ‘secret devourer’, had magical abilities capable of rampaging even in the realm of fairies, so he did not know if he could see the bottom of the abilities of fairies if the man assisted him well.

“sorry. Forgive me.”

He muttered with a grim expression and raised his staff. At that moment, the cabin door was thrown open.

“Who are you!”

The man canceled the spell he was trying to memorize and immediately prepared an attack magic to intercept the intruder. The ice pick magic that could be said to be the trademark of the blue mage tower floated around the man.

“me? You are the teacher of the students you are spying on.”

The man tried to figure out the identity of the intruder.

A good-looking appearance that makes you naturally jealous, and a strangely overbearing yet cold look. It was not a face the man knew.

However, it was only recognizable that he was wearing the Privia Academy instructor’s uniform, so the man tried to talk.

“I am of the Blue Mage Tower… … .”

“know. Giolo Matran of the Blue Magic Tower. He’s an idiot who dares to break a taboo on a subject he has neither ability nor talent. Shall we guess what we’re doing here? You tried to summon a manticore to the lake, right? To see an enraged fairy kill all my students and wipe out the surrounding village.”

The intruder, Phillip, cut off the man.

“… What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I am a blue mage tower mage, and I have no intention of breaking the taboo.”

The man, Giolo Matran, flinched and turned his left hand back. It was to activate the magic circle carved near the door.

“Oh, you don’t think so?”

Philip smiled and drew his sword.

-Is that true? master?

Neria, who was listening to the conversation, asked in surprise. Philip nodded. Meanwhile, frost began to settle around where Philip was standing.

“… If you take just one step forward, you become an ice statue. I don’t know what bullsh*t you’re talking about, but I won’t hurt you if you go back like this. Be thankful that you dared to enter the wizard’s workshop and leave safely.”

Giolo Matran, the wizard of the Blue Mage Tower, seemed to have regained his composure after fully activating the magic circle.

Philip clicked his tongue at that high-handed attitude.

‘Should I just kill him?’

Giolo Matran was already fully within his gap. He wasn’t a very good wizard, so it would have been easy if he tried to kill him.

However, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to take this opportunity to experience a battle with a wizard.

Philip checked Giolo Matran’s posture.

When he saw the traces of magic that seemed to be advertised as using trap magic, or the way his hands were turned behind his back to hide the beastman, he completely discarded his plan to accumulate experience points through Giolo.

To Philip, Giolo was less than a small pike. With such mediocre skills, it seemed difficult to be a reference for future battles with wizards.

Philip, who raised his aura in an instant, swung a long sword like a whip before Giolo Matran could react.

The defense magic Giolo secretly cast blocked the sword force once, but it could not offset the shock.

“Huh!”

Giolo’s frail body bounced off and crashed into the wall of the cabin. Giolo, who was all round, vomited a sip of the blood gushing out of his intestines.

From the moment he met Philip without much preparation in the first place, he had no chance of winning.

Wizards who were perfectly prepared for battle were annoying no matter how low their realm was, but most of the wizards, excluding some, were weak at improvisation.

‘I’ll have to be careful with the magic circle.’

I had to hit the last blow while I was down like that. Philip moved his sword blade and placed it near Giolo’s neck.

Seeing the sword wriggling like a viper trying to bite the scruff of the neck, Giolo’s will to fight began to disappear from his eyes.

“… you, who are you? I’ve never heard of anything like this.”

“I’ve never heard of a mage who goes out of his way like you, so let’s assume it’s a tie. Rather, cancel the magic circle immediately. If magic remains around me until I count to three… Well, you can imagine.”

Philip really meant to kill Giolo.

Sacrificing young students for success was unforgivable in his values.

‘f*ck… .’

Giolo cursed inwardly and had no choice but to cancel the magic circle. Phillip felt the frost and chill slowly dissipate around him and approached Giolo.

“me… What are you going to do?”

Giolo’s eyes wavered. Phillip kicked him in the shin as if asking for something like that.

“You should ask the fairy lady you were trying to f*ck with. You’ll have to explain everything with your own mouth what you were trying to do. That lady is pretty nice, but if you do well, it might save your life.”
