I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy

10 – 10. Disbelief

I was embarrassed at first. It was also unfair.

However, I decided to think about it with the mindset of reverse knowledge. From the perspective of the instructors who came to see me.

Morning inquiry time. In the midst of all the chaos with all the students gathered in the main auditorium, a loud noise that should not have been heard must have sounded.

Everyone associated the same sound. The sound of thunder.

However, lightning does not strike in a dry sky.

They sensed that something had happened and headed to the rooftop, leaving only the minimum number of people to control the curious students.

What lies on the other side of the rooftop door, which was opened with great tension, is a terrible sight.

At the center of the landscape, where the sun that announces the morning should be welcomed, stands a pitch-black gate.

The floor in the middle of the rooftop is dented as if lightning had struck it.

Next to it, there is a window that looks like scrap metal.

Above all, the instructor lying down far away.

You could probably tell quite intuitively that it was a corpse.

It was Chris,

The remaining instructor was Ivan,

A situation where even one student was involved.

From anyone’s perspective, it looked like one of the two had tried to open the gate and failed.

If you think about Ivan’s usual image, it was natural for him to become that ‘someone.’

When my thoughts reached that point, I was able to calmly accept it.

“So, let me summarize what you said.”

I guess I wasn’t the only one who organized my thoughts.

Me and Instructor Miho in handcuffs.

She took on the role of watching over me until my charges were proven or cleared.

It was an excessive amount of manpower for Ivan Kherson, but the extraordinary thing happened when Ivan murdered Chris.

Russell also had no choice but to hire the most reliable instructor.

In this room blocked by iron bars, I am being interrogated by her.

Thanks to that, she and I played ball all day today, and the moon was rising outside her window.

How many more hours do I have to stay awake?

“For some reason, you realized that Instructor Chris was planning to destroy her academy. She pretended to sympathize with that ideology, and after maintaining a close relationship with him and helping her create the Gate, she betrayed and killed him at the end. Am I right?”

“That’s right.”

Her brow furrows, and the quill that was writing down my story also loses its way.

He seemed to be contemplating whether he should write this down or not.

“Ivan, no matter how much they say the dead don’t talk…”

“…”

“Don’t you think this is convenient to the point of insulting? “To the point where I feel guilty.”

I shrugged my shoulders. Accordingly, the handcuffs on his wrists rattled.

I didn’t think you would believe me in the first place.

Chris was from the church.

Arca Church. It is the most prevalent religious group in the empire.

Thanks to their daily actions of generously dedicating themselves to people suffering from hunger and the aftereffects of war, both nobles and commoners become pious in front of the church.

It is also quite a distant future when it is revealed that even the gods and religious leaders they worship are part of the dark side.

I brutally murdered a member of that church,

The academy had to deliver the fact to the church via the fastest carriage.

I’m sure the leader was contacted by this afternoon.

Ironically, what she and I were waiting for at the same time, across from her iron bars, was the same thing.

Official response from the denomination. In other words, a letter from the religious leader.

She was waiting for the church to express its position,

I was waiting for the letter itself. Because I knew the content.

Tosagupeng. This is a world where even hunting dogs who succeed in hunting are defeated.

What’s more, what awaits Chris after his plan fails.

All you have to do is cut off her leash so that no harm comes to her owner.

“And the safe you mentioned. “It’s almost completely resolved now.”

“That’s a good thing.”

“…Did you say there was something in there?”

“Draft blueprint. “This is the blueprint for the gate you saw, planned by Chris and built by me.”

Actually, I gave an explanation with my own reasons.

My innocence will be revealed with just the church’s letter, but I didn’t want to be handcuffed until then.

Even though I used triple healing magic, it feels like my wrist is not getting better because the blood is not flowing well.

Like that, the safe in the third drawer of Chris’s seat in the teacher’s office.

I told you about the secret item inside.

“Okay, you’ll find out when you open it.”

As expected, I didn’t believe it.

Still, I thought it was fortunate that instructor Miho was there as a watchdog.

Because he is an instructor who looks at Ivan Kherson, who has fallen to this point, in a neutral way.

If I had been caught by an aggressive instructor, I would have been waterboarded.

At that moment, a knock was heard.

The sound of checking inside, not between me and her, but from outside her interrogation room.

Instructor Miho got up and opened the door.

“Thank you for your hard work late at night, Instructor Miho.”

“No. “What’s going on?”

“I think we need to hold a meeting right now. Ivan Kyo…. “I want you to bring the suspect to me.”

They are persistent. They constantly call me a suspect.

“No matter how serious the charges against him are, nothing can be quickly concluded without an official response from the church. So don’t be too hasty-“

“The letter just arrived. “I’m also dumbfounded.”

At that moment, Instructor Miho’s voice stopped speaking.

It’s understandable to be embarrassed. No matter how geographically close the academy and the denomination were, it was unusual to receive a reply less than a day after sending.

But, I know the reason.

That’s because the church has already created an excuse for Chris to use if he fails.

I stood up with handcuffs on.

“Let’s go.”

—

Next to the faculty office, faculty meeting room.

When the door opened with the rattling sound of handcuffs, the inside was full of people.

All eyes are on me.

With all the instructors and the chairman of the academy gathered, the atmosphere was almost like a hearing.

I ignored all the looks and sat in the empty seat in the center.

“Ivan Kherson. “I plan to read the response letter from the church from now on.”

“Yes.”

“Before that, is there anything you want to say?”

A question with the nuance that if you are going to confess, now is the time.

I just wish you would read it sooner.

“No. Read.”

That dry answer was decisive.

Boom!

“Well, there are all these shameless people… !”

“Shoot now! “Let’s stick the letter above his neck and read it!”

Starting with one instructor whose emotions were intensified, everyone began to add their personal opinions one by one.

Most of the content was negative.

At that time, an instructor who was a little in a bad mood tried to aim magic at me.

Rumbling!

With a sound, the conference room door opened.

What came in was four or five instructors who had rushed in to open the safe I told them about.

It looks like Chris’s strength from breastfeeding was squeezed out to achieve Buddhahood, but unfortunately, the contents inside were….

“Everyone, this. “Look.”

The evidence falls on the center table with a thud.

“The draft of the gate is correct. The handwriting is also….”

In the end, he couldn’t say any more and turned his head away.

“Chris’ handwriting is correct.”

The instructor next to him finished speaking with difficulty.

With that as a starting point, the atmosphere that had been trying to hang me upside down just a moment ago calmed down at once.

However, it seems that upright noblemen are everywhere.

“I can’t admit it! “That evidence could also have been fabricated and placed there by Ivan in advance, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. “Isn’t there something else we need to believe in?”

The old chairman of the board does not give up his will.

But soon a heavy silence came.

The one who broke the silence was instructor Miho.

“Then, I will read it.”

She holds her letter and reads it in a steady tone.

“To the heroes of Russell Academy, and to the faculty and staff responsible for their future, first of all, I would like to express my sincere regret-“

The reading has finally begun.

As befits the leader of a religious denomination, the introduction was quite long.

After such meaningless greetings, the letter finally got to the point.

“…But this regret is not directed at Rand Chris’ death. “In fact, it’s almost the opposite.”

The atmosphere in the room becomes strange.

Instructor Miho’s expression as she read it, and the gestures of some instructors who were acting like they were going to eat her.

It’s as if time has strangely stopped here.

No one dared to move.

“As a result of the Arca Church’s search of his residence, it was discovered that he was a heretic…. We were able to find many items believed to be from . Among them, there was a note containing a plan to take down Russell, so I can confidently say that my hands as I write this letter are full of Archa’s confidence more than ever before.”

The instructor, who had woken up awkwardly, sat down.

As if he were going to use all his energy to understand and accept what he was hearing.

“…In the name of Almighty Arka, this humble servant will become a witness. I hereby declare that his plan has nothing to do with the church. However, I cannot deny that this is also due to my immorality. In the future, I will try to repay at least one hundredth of this crime by increasing the amount of contributions for Russell’s warriors….”

Well, as letters from high-ranking noblemen usually do.

When you get to the conclusion, all kinds of rhetoric comes out again.

“Finally, I offer my infinite gratitude and prayers to the One who stopped his unholy plan with all my being, and as a mere servant, I will always pray for Russell’s well-being…. I’ll do it.”

That was the end of the letter.

At the same time, I reached out to instructor Miho.

“Please release me.”

“…”

An atmosphere where no one dares to open their mouth.

The only sound was the metallic sound of Instructor Miho taking a key out of his pocket.

No one could dispute my innocence.

Chris was a villain guaranteed by the church, and I killed that villain.

This is a situation that would normally upset me, but I can understand it.

It’s Ivan. That’s Chris.

Even if you are like me, you will be swept away by the atmosphere.

I tried to move on like that.

Until I heard those words.

“Well, then! “It would have been better if you had told me in advance!”

I thought I had heard wrong, but someone who found strange courage added a word.

“Yeah, that’s right! The reason you don’t trust us is because you act so arbitrarily, what should we do?!”

“It’s a shame it ended well, we all almost died.”

“No matter what, the reason it even attracted students…. Hmm, that might be controversial.”

Eolssi-gu. Look at these guys.

Teeth chattering.

I checked the faces of the people who had just spoken one by one.

The board chairs are almost all made up of noblemen.

The instructor was quiet. Judging by the fact that they are just shutting up, they are friends who know how to get there at least halfway.

Soon, the handcuffs were removed and I was free, standing up and speaking.

“Everyone. “There is something important that has not been said.”

Pointing to instructor Miho.

“Instructor Miho, who is standing before me right now, is also a heretic who worships monsters.”

I am like that,

I was able to silence everyone present.

After enjoying the atmosphere for about 5 seconds, he relaxed his expression and smiled brightly before speaking again.

“Of course, it’s a lie. “It can’t be like that, right?”

“Are you playing with us now?”

The fat chairman’s friend, who had been talking a while ago, becomes enraged.

However, Miho herself, who was the target of the ridicule, was quiet.

It seemed like he knew what I meant.

“That’s right. I can’t believe it. How could that instructor Miho be that kind of person? And it’s Ivan Kherson speaking, and no one else.”

After being spoon-fed that much, all the faculty members there seemed to understand.

Would you have believed me if I told you? I also didn’t want to make a life-or-death decision alone.

“Well, something like that.”

With my hands free, I quietly got up and headed for the door.

The moment I opened the door, I almost collided with someone coming in from outside.

“Oops, excuse me.”

“Oh, excuse me…” . Huh? Ivan the suspect? Where are you going-“

“I am no longer a suspect. “Please listen to the rest of us for more details.”

I passed by and went back to the dormitory and tried to catch some sleep.

The instructor who overlapped with me brought quite good news.

“Student Scarlet Rain just woke up!”

Wow, you have good physical strength. I can’t believe I woke up one day after wielding Rampage.

The potential is not going anywhere at SS level.

“Him, and Ivan Yong…” . “No, you were looking for an instructor?”

As if they had been waiting for those words, someone answered.

“Yes! She is a witness! He must know all about Ivan’s hidden ugly deeds! “Call me now!”

That bountiful friend has been doing that since a while ago. Are they even the same instructor?

Let me see your face. The name written on the nametag…. Moriam? Okay. I memorized it.

I couldn’t stand it anymore and went back to argue, but fortunately, someone else took that role.

“Instructor Moriam.”

“Instructor Mi, Miho. Why is your expression….”

“Let’s listen to the story to the end.”

Miho puts her hand on his shoulder.

His expression seemed to be so strained that it crumpled like a piece of paper.

One word that deals the final blow to that awkward atmosphere.

“Well, I’m not saying I’m going to testify like that. Just-“

After hearing that, I headed straight to the health room.

“He asked me if my arm was okay….”
