I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor at the Academy

(15)

“How old are you this year?”

“Twenty-five.”

“Oh, you seem very young, aren’t you?”

“Compared to teachers who teach general subjects, they are a bit younger. Still, compared to other practical subject teachers, it’s on the average side.”

“Can you briefly explain why such a difference occurs?”

“Simply put, it is a difference in the recruitment method. General subject teachers have to finish college, take an appointment test, and if they are male, they have to serve in the military. On the other hand, teachers who are in charge of practical skills can apply for the Hunter School Teacher Exam if they meet a few conditions, such as 3 years of service in the guild and military service.”

Usually, most hunters do not go to college and enter a guild immediately after graduation.

Military service can also be solved by fighting monsters as a hunter belonging to the country, but the period is a little shorter than that of the military at 1 year.

Hunters have no choice but to fight monsters and risk their lives.

Unlike the military, there is no special training period, and it is put directly into the portal according to the rank. Above all, the hunter tax is usually about 20%, but when you belong to a country, 50% of the profits earned are taken away from the country, so it is natural that it is short.

“okay. So let’s get right into the next question. A lot of people are probably wondering, what is the salary of a teacher at Hunter School?”

“It’s a bit difficult to say how this part differs depending on the allowance and annual leave. Basically, they are similar to regular school officials. Of course, there are allowances that are only available at the Hunter School, including rank allowances.”

If you were completely the same as a civil servant without this kind of allowance, no one would do anything like a Hunter School teacher.

“It sounds a bit complicated, can you make it simpler?”

“Well, to put it simply, I think I earn less than a Hunter of the same rank belonging to a guild, and still receive a little more than regular teachers.”

“I understand at once. Now that I see him, he not only has a handsome face, but also seems to be very good at talking.”

No, stop putting that handsome boy frame on.

I really thought it shouldn’t be like this, so after sending a signal to stop for a while, I asked him to stop mentioning his appearance because it was burdensome.

Fortunately, the request seemed to work, and from then on, I only asked and answered questions without talking about my appearance.

I wondered if the atmosphere would become weird, but the kids didn’t think it was too much, and the atmosphere was okay.

I had seen the questions beforehand, so I thought about it as much as I could so that it wouldn’t be a problem as far as I knew, so I answered carefully.

In the second half, I was so relaxed that I earned less than hunters of the same rank, so when I asked the last question why I became a teacher at the Hunter School, I almost answered, “Of course I became close with the main character, so I’ll suck on honey later.” It was perfect.

“Then, unfortunately, the prepared questions are over, and the time has come to send Mr. Lee Man-gang away. In fact, it’s the evening when class is over, so I’m really sorry if I hold on to it for a long time.”

It seems to be a closing statement.

Is it finally over?

“I have nothing to apologize for. I’m sorry too. And it’s all for the students… It’s a bit of a lie to say, and filming can be considered a job, so I’m going to apply for overtime pay.”

“Yes?”

“If you say no, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

“Ah, teacher too.”

“there… Teacher, did you say you were sorry? I think the viewers will be very disappointed if it ends like this, how about sparring with me?”

I was going to end it warmly with a light joke, but suddenly, what kind of bullsh*t is this again?

Was this what the student council president meant when he said he was a little eccentric?

It’s so embarrassing to suddenly have a sparring in the yard where everything is coming to an end.

Not only me, but the vice-president stopped filming as if he was surprised.

“no… Sejin-ah, we didn’t even tell the teacher beforehand, but suddenly doing this seems like a nuisance.”

“No, even the teacher said it was a pity, and I just thought it would be nice to show you something more… . sorry.”

“Teacher, our Sejin really likes sparring. Coincidentally, the subject the teacher teaches is swordsmanship, and Sejin is also in swordsmanship class, so I think I thought that. Then we will start filming again.”

Looking at the depressed president when the vice-president insisted, it seems that the proposal was made purely and there was no bad intention.

“Wait a minute, I’m fine, let’s do it.”

Because sparring with students is also a part of the class.

Of course, I’m not a student who teaches directly, but anyway, I’m a student learning swordsmanship, and it would be okay to hang out with him.

Hunter school students’ practical classes are treated as confidential, but in fact, if you look on the Internet, you can find out roughly what they do, and Dalian is also done at hunter educational institutions in other countries, so it doesn’t seem to be a particular problem.

“really?”

“I didn’t tell you beforehand, are you okay?”

“Everything is fine, but is the sword ready?”

Unlike honor duels, it is customary to conduct sparring with a training sword without a blade, not with a true sword.

However, the swordsmanship training ground where training swords are kept is quite a distance from the current school auditorium.

The chairman smiled and replied, “Don’t worry,” and brought two swords from the corner, but they look a little different from the ones given at school.

“When did you bring this back?”

“Actually, I didn’t go to the bathroom earlier, I brought a training sword.”

I guess I was planning to fight from the start.

Once I touched the sword, it was definitely different from the sword used at school.

It’s pretty good to use at school, but it’s pretty similar to a real sword in terms of weight and not just the blade.

“Then shall we continue filming?”

Again, the filming started from the part where the chairman suggested sparring.

I was also disappointed, but I accepted it with a smile, saying that if I did sparring, I would definitely get an extra work allowance.

To be honest, there is no tension at all.

From the experience of having an honor duel with Mr. Jeong not long ago, I know all too well that the level of hunters is lower than I thought.

I do a lot of sparring in class, and of course, I’m a third year student president, so it’s better than my kids, but it won’t be at the level of an active hunter.

According to the Dalian procedure, they greeted each other lightly in the middle of the auditorium and kept their distance.

“Come in first.”

“Then I will go first.”

The student council president rushed in holding a sword with both hands. It definitely feels faster than our 1st graders.

I thought he would attack with a medium cut or an oblique cut, but suddenly lowering his body to stab him, it’s a bit novel.

There are stabbing swordsmanships like fencing, but the original sword slash is basic.

Of course, I lightly moved to the left to avoid it.

I avoided the subsequent upward cut as well, but since I dodged it so well, it seemed like he was trying to shorten the distance, so I was afraid to fall off, but I stuck with it.

After all, at this speed, it won’t be too difficult to dodge even if you get close.

I kept avoiding attacks and sorted out the problems I saw in my head.

“How long will you just avoid it?”

There seems to be a bit of annoyance in his voice.

I did the original style… Well, since the president is new to Dalian and he hasn’t seen what I’m teaching, I think he might misunderstand that he’s ignoring me.

Well, it must have been a few minutes since the sparring started, but I didn’t collide with the sword once and just avoided it.

So, let’s start with the map now.

“I watched Sejin’s sword all the time, but the center of gravity was too far forward. It’s good to focus on attacks, but balance is also important.”

Stepping on footwork at the same time as he spoke, he grabbed Sejin from behind and lightly tapped his left leg.

It would be difficult if the bones were broken, so of course I adjusted my strength, but I was worried that I might tip over, but I didn’t completely tip over.

Well, that’s because my posture has completely collapsed.

“Because it happens like this when attacked from the other side. Get up quickly.”

He looks embarrassed, but seeing that he gets up from his seat and attacks again, it seems that the chairman is still the chairman.

“I put too much strength only on my hands and arms, and then I get tired quickly. If you get used to the sense of using your body from the shoulder, your attack will be better.”

When I pointed out while dodging again, he hesitated for a moment before attacking.

“Okay, like that. As expected, I understand because I am the student council president. Let’s do some more.”

It’s not perfect, but I’m sure I understood it to some extent.

I still have enough room to avoid using the knife, but I’m going to have to get along with it.

“Then the teacher will attack you from now on, so be careful.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the knife with one hand and blocked the attack, flicking the knife and slashing the middle.

The chairman reacted quickly and blocked it just barely, but was pushed back a little because of the difference in strength.

“Wait.”

“What is it? Have you ever been hurt?”

I said I was adjusting my strength, but I think I need to lower it a little more.

“That’s not it… Sir, can’t we use that mana? Of course, I won’t use it for weapons.”

Are you using mana?

How does a student… ah! Come to think of it, students at Hunter School start practicing through the portal from the second semester of the second year.

Of course, for the safety of students, it is limited to F-rank or E-rank portals, and there are times when teachers follow teachers at school as guardians and hunters belonging to the country are supported.

Apparently, he seemed to think that he was no match for his opponent because he was pushed back a while ago, but he told me to use it comfortably.

Well, even if the students went out to practice and accumulated mana, it wouldn’t be long.

“Then I will go.”

Certainly, using mana made it considerably faster.

visor-.

It was difficult to just dodge like before, so I raised my sword to defend it, but the feeling is quite heavy.

My wrists seem to be a little sore.

After all, is it a bit difficult without inner strength?

Still, he has the face of a teacher.

When we talked earlier, I didn’t say I would use it, so I’m thinking of not using it until the end.

Chaeng- Chaeng-.

After facing swords a few times, I came up with a knack.

It is true that mana raises a lot of physical abilities, especially strength, but it does not boost all parts overall like internal energy.

Besides, in terms of basic physical abilities, mine is far superior.

The power is definitely stronger in the chairman who uses mana, but I’m a little faster in speed.

Holding the knife with two hands instead of one hand, I think my wrist is fine.

visor-.

And the chronic problem of hunters is that their attacks are too honest and simple.

When attacking, it seems that breathing becomes a little rough.

I think I’m pretty tired, but I need to finish this.

Since this attack was a bell cut, the next one will be a diagonal cut.

I ducked slightly and walked away.

thud!

Even though he once showed me how to use his feet instead of a knife, he was so easily beaten that he lost his balance and collapsed in an instant.

I seem to be trying to get back up, but my knife is already pointed at Sejin’s head.

“I lost… .”

He picked up his sword right away, but his expression was quite resentful.

I didn’t feel it when I was talking about it, but it seems that this guy’s fighting spirit is quite strong.

“It was a great skill for a student council president. However, the sword is too monotonous. It is important to do what you have learned until you can do it perfectly, but if you are at the level of a strong student, it will be okay to think about how to apply it while making changes.”

I held out my hand that was not holding the sword and said, and he also grabbed my hand and stood up.

Then, the vice president clapped his hands and joined us.

Starting with the story that he had a good look at Dalian, the closing remarks naturally followed, and the filming was finally over.

I check the time on my phone while watching the children tidying up, and it is 8:30.

It was around 7:00 when I came here after eating, so I spent an hour and a half here.

I thought it would end soon.

“Sam, I’m done.”

Eun-soo approaches and hands out the key to the auditorium.

“yes. I’ll bring the key to the auditorium to the teachers’ office tomorrow morning when I go to work, so everyone go in quickly. It’s almost 9 o’clock.”

According to Hunter School rules, students can only work in the dormitory from 9:00 PM and go to bed at 10:00 PM.

This part is a bit like an army, but it’s not a real army, so there’s no vigil.

“Hey, teacher… .”

The sudden twisting of the body seems to have something to say.

I was about to ask what it was, but the president and vice president approached.
