Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me

22 – Relay Dalian (1)

After a long day of first lessons and an ambiguous reunion with Justina, a new year dawned on a new day.

“It’s a basic combat lesson.”

Today was a day where there was a basic combat lecture instead of a basic magic lecture.

Unlike the basic magic lectures held in the classroom inside the building, the basic combat lectures are held in the training ground outside the building.

There were students who were dissatisfied with the outdoor class, and if that’s the case, you shouldn’t have applied.

Anyway, it’s been three days now, and I wonder if everyone has already made friends and gotten used to Denbergen Academy.

The training ground before class started was noisy with students talking.

Fortunately, it was the same where I was.

In other words, it meant that I, who had a much higher mental age than my classmates, adjusted well.

“Ha ha ha! Fortunately, this time I got a seat next to you!”

“hehehe, me too, boy.”

“Yes. It’s not that the seats are as wide apart as in that classroom yesterday. We just need to stick together.”

Anyway, since most of the lectures are taken universally in the first year, there were a few familiar faces in this class.

Not to mention Charlotte or Joseph, a southern sun warrior boy who seems to be in sight for some reason. And Justina, who was also wearing the name Yuzu, was standing behind me.

I looked back at Justina, who didn’t want to come close and just watched from a distance, and nodded her head.

“Yuzu, why don’t you come closer and get to know them?”

“Huh, heh! I don’t even need friends!”

The topic that has been following me around since a while ago is ‘something like a friend’.

Anyway, it seems that sociality has not improved at all in the past 500 years.

Perhaps making several other friends besides me is the way to thwart the confinement plan?

While I was thinking about how to attract Justina naturally, Joseph suddenly stepped forward.

“Oh, isn’t that the girl who overtook me yesterday to take the seat next to Deneb?! But looking at it again, I think I’ve seen it somewhere…….”

“Have you seen Yuzu?”

“Well, I’m not sure. At least I think I’ve seen someone who looks like it.”

Joseph seemed to have glimpsed Justina as the head of the academy, probably because he was from the royal family.

Even Justina, who runs the school alone, has been in and out of her imperial family.

Come to think of it, there was also a story that Denbergen Academy was sponsored by the imperial family.

‘If you’ve made a connection like this with the imperial family, it seems that you’ve been sincere in running the school in your own way.’

I suddenly realized Justina’s merits and resolved Joseph’s doubts.

“They say she is the daughter of the president of this school. House of Denbergen.”

“Aha, that’s right! That was it. It’s a family wrapped in a veil. Still, it seems like I saw her face a few times in the imperial palace when I was young. I don’t remember it well, but it reminds me of how beautiful the head of the Denvergen family was at the time.”

“That is natural. Even children have an aesthetic sense.”

“Ha ha ha! Seeing that her daughter is so delighted with her mother’s praise, her mother-daughter relationship must be strong!”

…… She didn’t bother mentioning that she wasn’t praising her mother, she was praising the man right in front of her.

“By the way, when do classes start?”

“I don’t think the professor has come yet.”

Since they were talking like that, it was time for the class to start, but the professor was nowhere to be seen.

The bewildered freshmen looked around, wondering if class had been canceled.

Just then, someone pointed at the sky and screamed, grabbing my attention.

“Hey, over there! There’s something in the sky!”

“hahahaha!”

At that time, a fairly large and dark shadow was cast in the sky. With a lively laugh.

The students who were looking for the professor on the ground all raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

Then I would open my eyes wide and point with my finger or scream.

“Ooh, whoa! I’m riding a dragon!”

“Looks like the professor is a dragon rider!”

“Not a dragon! It’s a wyvern, a wyvern! There’s no way a dragon could burn a human?!”

Justina suddenly screamed in anger, but she was buried coldly by the students’ admiration, the flying wyvern’s flapping wings, and the cheers of the professor riding on it.

“Ughhh… ….”

She clenched her fists as if to hold back her tantrums, then approached her with her rifle at me pleadingly.

“That is not a dragon. Got it? It’s not a dragon…….”

“Uh, uh uh, yes. There’s no way that great dragon would burn a human.”

“As expected, you know something. I will tell my mother and she will give you the store.”

“Go… stop? By the way, you seem to really like dragons.”

Justina silently clung to my side and nodded her head.

He said he was angry because he was a dragon lover, but nothing else.

However, no matter how you look at it, it wasn’t a reaction that could have come out if the object you loved was insulted.

‘You’re too obvious, Justina… ….’

I tried to swallow the words I wanted to pour out and kept my composure.

Whoop!

And after a while, the blue wyvern flapped its large wings and slowly landed on the ground.

Some students coughed due to the wind caused by the landing of the wyvern, but I roughly covered my nose and mouth and looked at the professor standing tall in the dust.

But, as soon as I saw the professor’s silhouette, I panicked.

“What?”

“Do I have wings?”

Not the wyvern, but the professor also had wings.

I wasn’t the only one perplexed.

Charlotte also opened her eyes, let alone dust, and Joseph tilted her head as well.

Only Justina, who fanned the dust with her hands as if nothing had happened, was fine.

“This is Perkin, a bird. A knight who performed admirably on the Eastern Front about 15 years ago. Although he has a dirty personality, he is a good professor in his own way, so you should learn a lot.”

“Ah, yes. Okay. Yuzu seems to know the professors well.”

“Of course… Ugh, ugh. Because I heard it from my mother.”

That’s right, since he himself hired the professor, there’s no way he wouldn’t know.

I was also able to recognize that Professor Perkin was a strong fighter with the experience accumulated as an assassin.

It was one of the essential virtues of an assassin to know the opponent’s estimate because he had to determine whether he could end his life in one shot from the front, and if that was not possible, he had to come up with other countermeasures such as using traps or poisons.

“Nice to meet you guys! This professor is called Perkin, who will be teaching you from today. As you can see, they are a member of the family, so if you doze off during class, it will fly like a light and hit your head, so be careful!”

As is the case with people who have lived their entire lives as knights, Perkin was a man with a cheerful personality and knowledge of chivalry.

However, he captivated the students in an instant with his delightful speech skills, probably because he had a considerable career as a professor rather than a knight.

“It’s tight there! Nice eyes! What is your name and where are you from?!”

“This is Cornette Rodriguez! A warrior of the sun from the southern desert!”

“Ha! What a warrior! In my eyes, you’re just a baby boy whose umbilical cord hasn’t even been cut yet!”

“Kuh… ….”

“Still, by the time you finish taking Professor Bonn’s classes, you might be able to do at least a toddler!”

A way of speaking that disciplines students who seem rough, but at the same time encourages them to do well.

I wasn’t swearing at Professor Darnay, but as soon as the class started, it felt like I was setting the mood step by step, so even I, who wasn’t interested in the combat class, was able to concentrate.

As expected, it’s an honor, Perkin, who was not only an old knight but also an old professor, dominated the class atmosphere like a storm.

“Oh no! Our prince was there too, but did you know that I also taught your second and first brothers?!”

“Of course! I remember that my older brothers told me a lot about this and that!”

“It’s good to be bold to say half words! What did he say about Professor Bourne?!”

“Most of them were swearing, so I heard it in one ear and let it out in the other!”

“hahahahaha!”

…… And somehow, it seemed that there were some students who got along well with Professor Perkin.

“Hmm, who are you?”

“Yes?”

“Haven’t you been staring at me with a bad eye since before?”

“…… Well?”

Perkin’s communication, no, the target of his shouting, who moved here and there like that, soon reached me.

Anyway, it seemed that the eyes of an assassin who would make an estimate of whether he would be able to kill a great warrior habitually when he met a great warrior could be seen.

You wouldn’t feel that openly, but it wasn’t normal, probably because he was a professor hired by Justina herself.

“Hmm, well this time, I see a few good guys. Good ores taste good to smelt.”

“Smelting? Is it ore?

He did not miss any questions from the students.

“Yes, you guys are ore! Professor Bon is the best blacksmith who can smelt such ores! However, no matter how skilled a blacksmith is, impure iron cannot be smelted into diamonds! In the first place, iron has its own iron-only smelting method, and diamonds have their own diamond-only smelting method!”

Perkin blew a whistle to send the wyvern back somewhere, and stomped the floor with the sword at his waist.

“So I’m going to start ore sorting now! The classification method is Relay Dalian! I will roughly grasp your level and teach you according to that level, so prove yourself!”

Relay sparring, what the hell is that?

I felt like I knew it just by hearing the name.

On the other hand, there were those who expressed their doubts before hearing the explanation of the test method for unfamiliar names.

They were mainly interested in magic, but they were students who took Perkin’s basic combat lectures with a light mind, saying that they would learn combat as well when they came to the academy.

“But Professor, you haven’t learned anything yet, so sparring… ….”

“Do you twist?”

But Perkin flatly dismissed that opinion.

“If you don’t like it, drop it and retake it in another professor’s class! I don’t know if he will teach me better than Professor Bon!”

Being old means surviving with confidence in yourself.

But at the same time, it also means that we have changed so that we will never be swayed by outside opinions.

The student, taken aback by Perkin’s impudent answer, asked back as if he was dumbfounded.

“If I drop it, can I listen to another professor’s lecture right away?”

“What are you talking about, of course I have to listen next year! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

At that moment, some students looked as if they had seen the devil.

“Ha ha ha! I think I know a little why my older brothers were swearing!”

I nodded at Joseph’s words, but I thought otherwise.

‘…… Sounds like fun?’

I realized one thing after seeing Perkin.

Hmm, just because they say ‘kids these days’ doesn’t mean everyone is relaxed.

Coincidentally, Justina and I were both looking at Perkin with happy faces.
