The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 9. He said he was a former Korean War veteran.

“Teacher…… ?”

“Yes~ I am Seine Velvet, who has been hired as a health teacher for this academy since this year~”

After entering the room, I smiled softly at Eric.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel like my emotions are running high. Can you calm down?”

“…… Excuse me for this.”

Soon after, Eric quietly lowered his head, putting the previous ferocious atmosphere to shame.

Fortunately, you seem to have the courtesy of a superior, befitting an aristocratic background.

“By the way, why did the health teacher come here?”

But that’s just an outward attitude.

Health teachers have a lower status than other teachers, so it is obvious that they are chewing a lot on the inside.

Well, I’m used to being treated like that, so it’s just fine.

“I came on a business trip because it was obvious that the children were running around and the wounds were not being treated.”

“hahahaha, it’s a minor wound. Why don’t you leave it to the priest later?”

“Because there are few priests and their working hours are limited. In the meantime, if there are children who are sick, I might be able to look after them.”

“If it’s not serious, it’s enough to be patient. I don’t think you have to come this far. Above all, priests can be hired as long as they pay a little more.”

“Bubi is giving you some meat and snacks after you buy fixtures and practice hard, not to force yourself to roll.”

And if you use the clergy often, you will lose muscle.

“If necessary, it is the club activity policy of this academy that personal expenses can be used. Receiving help from the family is also his ability.”

But even taking that into consideration, money can be a skill in an aristocratic society.

The academy couldn’t say anything about hiring a priest in the name of more efficient wound healing.

This requested spinach guy. I thought he was just an emotional guy, but he knows a lot in many ways.

“Ah~ Of course, this is something the baseball team doesn’t like very much. I can’t even get support because I can’t get good grades, and all the members are from families that don’t have much.”

But what was more speculative than that was that even in this situation, I saw the timing of being sarcastic.

Are you a born opportunist?

Or are you just trusting your back and being cocky?

“… I understand roughly how it works.”

Of course, I’m not the kind of person who would be bothered by that much.

In the first place, this person isn’t emotional enough to spend on unnecessary emotional consumption.

“In short, the team led by the former general manager showed less-than-expected results, and since the general manager retired from the baseball team before graduation, you are saying that he wants to lead the team in place of the Gillette student who has taken over the new position, right? We will change our existing policy.”

“Good summary.”

Eric smiled contentedly and spoke confidently in front of everyone in the clubroom.

As if you really believe in your convictions.

But if the purpose is good, can the means be radical?

“…Have you consulted with the student council before pushing in like this?”

“If you leave it to the student council, it will take several months just to get things done, right? It would be more efficient to obtain the consent of the existing members rather than wasting time wasting practice time.”

“What are you going to do if you don’t agree?”

“In that case, you would have already risen and kicked me out.”

Eric looked around while saying that.

As all the existing members averted their gaze, Eric and his followers all drew a proud smile on their lips.

“…… Yes, time is of the essence.”

I thought he was just a cheeky jerk, but he’s surprisingly smart.

Let’s admit it. This guy has a bad personality, but he knows how to see opportunities quite well.

“Honestly, as a teacher, I shouldn’t ignore this, but… …. Still, your position is understandable to some extent.”

“hahahaha, then… ….”

“By the way, I want to ask you something.”

I can’t help it.

The only way to calm him down is to use a method other than talking.

“Before you go on a rampage, did you ever play against the baseball team you ignore?”

“… What do you mean?”

“It’s a simple story.”

After answering, I picked up one of the supplies scattered on the floor.

“In baseball, the faster the ball, the better.”

A baseball made of stitched leather.

However, because it has been specially treated, it is an item that can contain mana and manipulate the mana to create various harnesses.

“In baseball, the better the eye sees the fast ball, the better.”

The one I held up in my other hand with him was a baseball bat.

It was an object with a grip similar to the one used in the principal’s office not too long ago.

“If only I could see the ball thrown like that.”

While holding the bat in my hand, I gently threw the ball upward.

And Taang!

“…… Wouldn’t it be nice to hit hard with both arms and then run fast with both legs?”

A ball hit with a long hit flies out of the room, toward the exit, and out of the playground, and lands in the middle of the meadow.

A large baseball field mainly used by the baseball team.

I looked back at everyone who had focused their attention there and said.

“The word sport itself implies rules and competition. Innate talent or help received through the environment is just a process and means to prove the result in the end, and it would be against fair play to determine the result in advance.”

If everything is divided by rank, all you have to do is hold a rank insignia and get a ticket.

However, sport is an act of competing with pure skill under fair rules, and that is why everyone on the ground is equal.

“So what you are trying to say is that you want this poor baseball team to play against the talented people I’ve been eyeing?”

“Because that would be easier for everyone to understand.”

The moment we get to the point.

I said while looking at Gillette, who had previously been in trouble with Eric, and another member who fell to the floor after being beaten by Eric.

“Still, there are two injured people in the existing team, so I think it would be good to supplement them… ….”

“Then the teacher can stand on the ground instead.”

“… I didn’t mean it that way.”

“hahahaha, you don’t have to pretend. You just don’t like me and want to press the bridge of my nose, don’t you?”

The eyes above the lacrimal points become narrower.

“Since I was involved in the first place, if I fall in, I lose face as a teacher. In the end, it will become the word teacher.”

…It looks like it’s got some ugly hair on it.

What a good thing. I had that in mind in the first place, so now I have nothing to shy away from.

“Dale.”

Above all, I was also looking for a suitable place to test this child’s abilities.

“Since you came all the way here, would you like to play baseball?”

“Yes!”

Dale exclaimed, grinning broadly.

***

“Boss, are you really okay?”

A wary question from Gryan, a Marquess of the Empire, Kidman’s follower and Eric’s squire.

Eric, who was warming up in the waiting room at the stadium, looked back at him with a smile.

“Bercy, what’s wrong with you?”

The thickly drawn smile itself symbolizes victory.

As such, Eric had confidence in the upcoming match.

“No, I misunderstood the question. Do you think the team I handpicked will lose to the crap that only Gillette took over?”

“I don’t think so. Gillette, as well as the deputy director who had been working with him, decided not to step forward.”

Okay, weren’t there only two people who could be used besides the former squadron manager in the first place?

Other than that, the talented guys realized the team’s limits and left together.

No matter how much Gillette inherited the spirit of the previous manager, he would also feel skeptical about his father’s poor performance.

After this match, they will surely come to realize their situation.

“But it still takes a while. The opponent in this match is not a student, but a teacher.”

“I guess he came to interfere because he didn’t want to just watch the kids fight. Is it because they are new so they don’t notice, or because they are young, they look down on them?”

Teachers must also have a lot of complaints about the sluggish performance of the baseball team.

If it had been another teacher instead of that woman, she would have condoned his actions.

For Eric, who had that kind of confidence, her existence was regarded as a thorn in the eye.

Just a little annoying.

As someone who couldn’t interfere with her own plans.

“… What are you concerned about?”

“Oh well, I heard some rumors.”

Unlike the confident Eric, Bercy had a disapproving expression on her face.

As if not sure, but keeping the possibility in mind.

“I heard that he was a former Korean War veteran.”

“Veterans? You mean a participant in the war?”

“Yes, since I introduced myself as an imperial citizen, he must have belonged to the imperial army. If you investigate closely, you might find something…….”

“Ha, what else am I saying?”

Eric burst out laughing and stepped out of the room and into the playground.

“What would a health teacher do if he was a soldier? She must have been a nurse who took care of the wounded in the rear.”

Sometimes even commoners have heroes, but how common is that?

Human beings cannot go against the environment, so it is only natural that nobles with superior births have the upper hand.

“Perhaps that woman thinks like this. She said that if teachers and students from commoners show that they don’t kneel, she will crawl on its own.”

She is a woman in a white gown waiting in advance at the playground. Eric shifts his gaze to Seine Velvet.

“You have to be misunderstood. Hospitality as a teacher is outside the stadium.”

As she approached her, Eric didn’t feel any hesitation.

“…… Are you ready?”

“Of course.”

Seine and Eric.

The two faced each other in a line with their teams on their backs.

Behind Eric are the confident and dependable elites.

And behind Seine are the powerless existing members.

“This is the first time I have played with so many people. Something is pounding!”

Even one of them was a 14-year-old newcomer.

That’s also very immature, a kid who seems to be lacking somewhere.

“This is true, looking at it again, the team situation is spectacle.”

A freshman kid in a game where wealth and life are at stake, and a veteran who came from the rear to suck honey.

Isn’t this a pretty obvious game?

“Don’t talk too much. Aren’t they friends from the same school?”

Friends suck.

Eric chewed on himself and clicked his tongue.

“What about the rules? I think if we drag it on for a long time, we will only get tired of each other.”

“Yes. First of all, I think it would be better to finish with just one set as if it were a practice game…….”

“What if there is a draw in the first set?”

“Then we can do one more set.”

“Not bad.”

Of course, I meant it in the sense that there would be no draw.

I will overwhelmingly solidify the match with one set and teach them their fraction.

“For reference, this is not a bet. You guys are just judging by the results of watching this match.”

“I know.”

As a teacher, you wouldn’t want to bet with a student.

But no matter what the intention is, it’s just fine. If you score overwhelmingly, they will realize their fraction on their own.

“Now then, shall we begin?”

Afterwards, Seine stood in the pitcher’s box and faced Eric in the batter’s box.

He puts his foot forward, leans slightly, and concentrates on the catcher’s glove.

-Ugh.

The vibrating sound coming from the back of the glove indicated that it was trying to cause some kind of phenomenon by imbuing the ball with mana.

‘Come. I won’t hit anything that comes flying.’

Just in time for that moment, Eric also exerted his will and spread mana around.

The spread mana will exert a deterrence the moment it detects a projectile with a certain speed or higher, and the ball with reduced restraint will naturally be induced toward the bat.

What if the speed is lower than that?

Just hit it and you’re good to go.

That level of reflexes are already secured.

-Shrik!

However, it was only for a moment that his confident lips hardened.

‘Huh?’

Soon after seeing Seine’s throwing form, Eric put on a dazed expression.

For some reason, the ball that should have been in my hand was missing.

‘What is it?’

Where did the ball go?

And why does his body have such a strange feeling?

As if a storm hit the body…….

-Push study!

No, it really was a storm.

A ball thrown at a speed impossible to even detect with the human eye.

Because the air in the place the ball passed over pushed it out, creating a temporary vacuum.

-Paaang!!!!

A roaring sound erupted as the air returned to its original position.

Sensing the wind pressure that came from him, Eric suppressed his attempt to step back by reflexively applying strength to his body.

Yes. That was all he could do right now.

“What are you doing referee? I don’t see the judgement.”

The moment I came to my senses the moment I heard the voice of the person who threw the ball.

“S.”

The referee, who reflexively opened his lips, looked at the ball stuck in the catcher’s glove and struggled to speak.

“Strive… …. Nice.”

I didn’t even realize it myself.

Just announcing a verdict made through belatedly observed results.
