Academy Slave Instructor

52 – Catch the lie

Catch the lie

Selenas, the head of the academy who oversees the academy, says while looking at the documents on her desk.

“Please call Instructor Rai.”

“Okay.”

The secretary responds with a small nod of her head and leaves the academy director’s office. As Selenas is about to sign her papers and check the next one, the door bursts open and Rai enters.

As soon as the secretary leaves, she sees her rai coming in right away, and Selenas looks at her in surprise, but he doesn’t care, he glances around her room, runs to her couch, stops, and then walks up to her.

“I’m not here.”

Then he crawls into the desk in front of her, and while Selena, who doesn’t know why, is looking down blankly, she hears a knock and the secretary comes in.

“Bright is here. Should I tell him to enter the room?”

“… Yes… Let me in.”

She obviously saw Rai go in. She sees Selenas alone, and the secretary seems to think for a moment, but she doesn’t say much, she opens the door and lets Bright in.

“Hello, Headmaster.”

Bright greets her politely, but her eyes scan the room. She tries to hide it, but when she sees him whose breathing is rough, Selenas who understands the situation smiles at her and she replies.

“Yes, what is it?”

“There are a lot of complaints from academy students during training this time…”

Although she talks like she has business, Bright continues to walk casually, scanning her room. He talks a lot about training and problems in practice, but his nerves are all elsewhere.

Selena laughs inwardly at Bright’s behavior of sneaking along and checking behind the sofa where Rai was trying to hide.

Who the hell could make that solemn Bright look like her child? Selenas pretends not to know, thinking of Rai, who makes her see the funny side of her the more they are together.

“I’m thinking a lot about that issue. Shall we discuss it over a cup of tea?”

“No, no. It’s okay. The head of the academy is busy too, so I can’t just hold on to it.”

“I have time to rest. It is also a problem to be solved quickly.”

“That’s… Oh, come to think of it, I forgot. I had something to solve until today, but I forgot. This is a problem when you get older. Heh heh, look at it.”

Bright smiles and refuses Selena’s invitation, and then hurries out of the academy bathroom before she can say her words again. Selena, whose current situation is so amusing, laughs softly and pulls back her chair.

“Are you gone?”

Selena nods her head at Rai’s question, looking up from under her desk.

Rai pulls her head out and carefully checks outside. When no one is there, she crawls out of her desk.

“What did you do this time that made the deputy principal so angry?”

“I made a pool just because it was hot, but he got angry.”

At her Rai’s words, Selena’s tilted her head. Even though Bright values her manners, she’s not the kind of person who’s so tight-fisted that she’d be so angry at that level of work.

Since the weather is hot, if she makes a small pool, she will be liked by the academy students, and Bright, who loves them, will pass it on.

“That… I had fun making it… So I made an artificial waterfall…”

For Selena’s not understanding, Rai tells the truth and she points to the window behind her.

When Selena turned around, there was a huge stone wall built in front of her. The academy director’s office is good for looking at the entire academy. But now I can’t see anything.

When the hell did you build such a structure? No matter how much I was immersed in work, I didn’t feel it at all.

“Even if he hadn’t asked to build a diving board, I wouldn’t have built it this high… Doesn’t the assistant principal not like playing in the water?”

“…… Put it back to normal within today.”

“Yes, I understand.”

No matter how much Selena let go of Rai, she firmly says that this is not okay.

After answering, Rai, who was about to leave quietly, flinched when she told her to sit on her couch, and she sat up straight. Selena, who served the tea to Rai, who was sitting in the most polite manner of all she had been to the academy manager’s office, handed her a document.

She also checks that her contract is Rye’s training report and she reads her report rather than Selena’s notice.

This is a report on the recent tactical training. It runs a unit of about 3,400 people and trains tactics among the academy students.

No matter how expensive the academy is, they give all the students a bag and train a few at a time to see if they can do it all at once.

It is not possible to do it all at once, but even if only 10 people come out, 3, 4,000 soldiers can be operated, so the financial power of the academy, which manages close to 10,000 soldiers throughout the semester for training, cannot be ignored.

Of course, the soldiers were borrowed from Legandia and nearby territories, but even just eating and sleeping with them is constantly costing money.

Rai admires that even though she doesn’t actually fight with a sword, she simply puts this much money into her tactical training. If the kingdom of Kaylan resembled only half of the empire, it would probably have lasted another 10 years.

The report on tactical training in which a few people per class run troops was quite serious.

There is a story about an academy student who came out as a commander fighting a soldier, and another story about self-destruction due to poor command.

“Lai-kun, what was it like when you first ran the unit?”

“Me? It was worse than this. I took a thousand men out, but when I came back, there were only 127 left. It was a complete defeat.”

Ray smiled and answered Selena’s question.

He wasn’t a tactical genius from the start either. Later, he was called the Devil of the World and made the neighboring countries tremble, but he also tasted the pain of defeat, and most of the defeats were suffered in the beginning.

In that sense, the training of actually managing troops by pouring money into the academy is very helpful. No matter how much strategy you read, it is not easy to actually manage soldiers with emotions.

If you tell them to attack like moving chess pieces, half of them will run away, and sometimes they will charge too much because they are too excited. Rai laughs bitterly when he recalls the hardships he suffered when he first went to war.

“It’s surprising. I thought we would have won a valuable victory from the start.”

“In return, I was awarded a valuable defeat. The price was someone’s life.”

Only 1/10 of them returned alive from the first battle. Rai, who says he didn’t save him but he returned after killing nine out of ten, also reads his last year’s report.

When the unit is operated for the first time, many problems are reported as if everyone is the same. They laugh at it now, but at first most of them blame themselves or get angry at the unit that doesn’t move according to their own will.

“What do you think after reading the report?”

“Of course? It’s my first time running a unit. How can kids who only move chess pieces on the map do better?”

When Rai sided with the academy students, Selena nodded to him and took a sip of the tea.

“But there are a lot of people who don’t understand. Some lords won’t lend soldiers for useless training anymore.”

“Hmm- This training is really good. Without this, hundreds and thousands of lives would be lost if only reading the text and being put into action.

“Is that enough?”

Selenas, a scholar, is interested in the words of Rai, who has a lot of war experience.

“Yes, it doesn’t matter how genius the commander is. Even if he loses in a chess fight, soldiers with emotions are different. No matter how perfect a strategy is, it’s useless if the soldiers are confused. Especially when it comes to resourceful battles, tactics become more sophisticated and sophisticated. If you attack the soldiers, the commander can’t do anything.”

Ray tells Selenas, who shows interest, how to fool soldiers. He tells us that there are hundreds of ways to excite or intimidate, and that’s why he gives many experienced lieutenants to inexperienced commanders.

However, it is not possible to make such a configuration for any electric wire, and due to a lack of manpower, holed cutting edges are sometimes made.

Selenas listens to everything Rai says, then nods and hands over the new documents.

“What is this?”

“I’m going to invite those who rent soldiers. Wouldn’t it be a little easier if I made a great spectacle?”

“No, why is my name on the training list?”

Rye points his finger at his name on the roster for the next training session.

Selenas, who shows a gentle smile, doesn’t answer, and Rai looks at her face for a moment.

“That’s the highlight.”

“Yes, since everyone is interested in the military, wouldn’t they be satisfied and go back if they saw a great tactic?”

Selena, smiling brightly at Rai who stares at her wordlessly, speaks in her excited voice.

“It would be nice for everyone to see the instructor’s great tactics, right? Invited guests and other academy students. We make a lot of familiars and broadcast them live. At this point, we’ll make it a festival at the academy. The image of the training will improve, and then more later. Maybe on a larger scale.”

“…… Can I disclose it?”

“Why? What about Rye Redford? He’s a great instructor at the academy.”

It’s Rai Redford, not Elliot. Selena, who picked up on that, smiles and drinks tea.

She knew that she didn’t mean it that way, but when she saw her deftly pretending not to know, her lie shut her mouth.

* * *

“That’s why we have to choose an adjutant.”

At Rai’s words, the class B academy students looked at each other with bewildered expressions. When no one speaks, she raises her hand and asks.

“What are the benefits of being an adjutant?”

“Uh- maybe the academy student who participated as an aide will give you 80 points in tactical training. If you’re not satisfied, you can participate later on in your turn.”

80 Points out of 100. It’s an ambiguous score, but the academy students who know that it’s hard to get good grades in tactical training are a little grumpy.

However, it’s just a little flirtatious, and everyone has a dream of running a unit, so they don’t step out.

Since it is her turn this time, she ponders whether it is better for her to serve as an adjutant or to run the unit herself. The opponent is the heinous Raikang. He did not know the details of his career, but it was clear that he had tremendous skills and experience.

He himself is an inexperienced commander. Scores don’t matter. He gets helpless and gets pissed when Lai Kang laughs at him.

He doesn’t know how to make fun of him with a mean expression. In that case, it’s good to be in a position to make fun of other academy students. Because victory is always sweet.

As she raises her hand to join as her lieutenant, Sesset sees the door open and turns her head.

Her sub academy is Bright. She has a smile on her face.

“Heh heh heh, are you talking about tactical training? Rai instructor?”

“Yes…”

She succeeded in running away, but Rai, who did not expect that she would come after her, answers with an awkward smile. However, she is too mild-tempered to be called an angry person.

Bright nodded and approached Rai, patting her on the shoulder.

“You have to learn a lot from the instructors. You see? The instructors have a lot of experience and are very capable. In this tactical training, Instructor Lai is sure to look great.”

Rai glances at Bright at her words of praise. His hand, which gently tapped her on the shoulder, was strong.

“Any academy student who catches Instructor Lai’s unit will get 100 points.”

“I will work hard!”

The three-set jumped up with enthusiasm. This time, she and the other academy students who go into tactical training with Lai also seem to be highly motivated.

“Still, shouldn’t the academy students fight too much while aiming for one instructor?”

After Rai mentioned the unfavorable situation, Bright looks around at her academy students with a worried expression.

“So, even if we form an alliance, I will give 100 points to all the academy students who have united. Then we won’t fight, right?”

“……”

Rai, who almost said what bullsh*t this is, stares blankly at her Bright.

In the condition that goes beyond her disadvantage and shows the extreme of unfairness, the three-set is excited and cheers loudly with other academy students on their shoulders.

“I’ve already talked about it to the other class, so please share it.”

“Hey, Vice Principal?”

“Ah, how can our Rai instructor be so trustworthy? I believe in it. If it’s the instructor’s ability, the academy students won’t lose even if they work together, right?”

A fight of at least 10 to 1. You must defeat ten times as many troops with tactics, not simply with individual force.

Besides, it’s not a defensive battle, you have to suddenly fall on the battlefield and deal with everyone. If you are a normal commander, it is a condition to avoid battle unconditionally.

“Everyone is looking forward to Instructor Rai. The academy students, the citizens of Legandia, and the guests from the surrounding estates will all see it. “

Bright finishes her speech and leaves the classroom.

“Anyone to serve?”

At Rai’s question, all the academy students turned their heads.

Everyone is paying attention, but I don’t want to be publicly executed.
