Academy Slave Instructor

Chapter 58

58 – Giving

Giving

“Here you go again, stupid bastard.”

“You’re the stupid one. Just thank me for coming to the shabby store.”

Clay, who retired after working as a fixer and became a blacksmith, frowns as soon as he sees Rai at the store.

Each of them has a nickname that makes people afraid of Bane’s fallen knight and the devil of the world, but the conversation between the two is childish.

Philia, brought in without knowing why, sees the two fighting through her cold, sunken eyes.

What on earth did you expect? The place Rai brought was the blacksmith’s.

‘What, what do you expect?’

Philia, who was thinking to herself, was startled and shook her head wildly, trying to come to her senses. It seems that the term “Adult stairs” Was too shocking.

Clay, whose blacksmith’s shop was once destroyed, spent a lot of money to expand the shop while repairing it.

The store exudes a luxurious atmosphere, not just for expansion, but also for materials and decorations.

However, just because the interior is excellent doesn’t mean that Clay’s skill has improved, so all the weapons and armor on display are of low quality.

When Philia wonders what the hell is going on here at the unbalanced display of insignificant weapons amid splendid decorations, she hits Selma on the backs of the two arguing.

Selma, old but still pretty, looks at her Philia with a gentle smile.

“So this lady is your lover?”

“Oh, a lover. No! Why am I with someone like this…”

“It’s cool enough to hurt my heart.”

Clay giggled when Rai said as if he was shocked by Philia’s strong denial.

“She’s a pretty girl that won’t suit you.”

“Hey, take care of your husband. He drools at the child.”

Selma didn’t seem to care, but Clay looked at her and shut her mouth.

Seeing the three of her friends, Selma approaches Philia, who still doesn’t know what it is.

“Aren’t you going to introduce me to a pretty lady? She used to be an escort, but she has no manners.”

“She’s Philia. She’s an academy academy student, and she’s in the same class as A-Zero.”

As Rai explains roughly, Philia bows her head slightly to Selma and greets her.

“I’m Philia Serios. Uh… Actually I don’t know why I’m here either.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Selma. I’m having a lot of trouble with that idiot. Can I call you Miss Philia?”

“Please feel free to call me Mr. Selma.”

“Please feel free to call me too.”

With her weighty smile and soft voice, calling her Lai her idiot, Philia assumed she was her trust. It’s been a while since she met someone who shared her opinion.

Seeing Philia’s face, her eyes twinkling and expressing strong agreement, Selma covered her mouth to see if she was funny and looked at Rai with a smile.

“So why did you bring Miss Philia?”

“You are my disciple.”

As she said casually, holding a chunk of scrap metal she didn’t know what it was for, with her finger, all three people in the store stared blankly at Rai.

The atmosphere became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it, but he didn’t care and continued talking.

“I’ll guarantee your talent, and since you haven’t learned high-level skills, it’ll be easy to teach vision.”

“Wait… Instructor Lai, what are you talking about?”

“Why? Aren’t you okay? He’s broken a lot now, but he was a bit flimsy when he was younger.”

Seeing the flustered Philia and Rai talking nonchalantly, Selma grabs her forehead as if she’s in trouble and she kicks him in the calf.

Rai, who easily avoids Selma by pulling her leg back, makes an expression that she doesn’t understand.

“Why are you angry?”

“Haa- That’s why I can’t be a guy without a teacher.”

After sighing, Selma takes the panicked Philia to the sofa.

While Clay bruises her lie for being a jerk, Selma takes her tea, gives it to Philia, and sits next to her.

“Sorry, that idiot was rude.”

“No… What the hell is Instructor Lai talking about?”

“I think he did this for me.”

Selma touches the teacup with a bitter smile.

Retired Selma has no disciples. Zeroa just gave him the basics, but he couldn’t inherit Selma’s vision.

A person who enjoyed his own era does not want his skills to disappear. Even if he dies, he wants the vision to flow from person to person and remain immortal in the world.

In some ways, the skills achieved over a long period of time are more important than having their names engraved in history. Rai, who did not want the technology that could be the pride and pride of a strong person to die like this, brought Philia to Selma.

Philia’s teacher is the training instructor she lightly attached to her daughter, who is interested in her sword, as if giving her a birthday present. Her teacher, who had never made a name for her, did not have great skills.

For Philia, who grew up in her political family and couldn’t learn her higher skills, Selma’s vision is an extraordinary feat, and Selma can also pursue her own vision, so it was a win-win for each other, but her problem is Rai alone. That it was done alone.

“That guy doesn’t have a teacher, so he doesn’t know these manners at all. Please understand.”

If she receives philia, she is going to steal her apprentice from someone else. It would hurt Philia’s teacher’s honor as well as her pride.

“There is no teacher…”

“That’s literally it.”

There was no lie in Selma’s simple answer. She Philia couldn’t understand how she could have such skills without her mentor.

Come to think of it, Rai was a bit unusual.

There is no objection to telling her about her spells and skills. She didn’t learn anything directly from him, but when she sees how she teaches Zero A and Aslan, she teaches him like it’s all over the place.

She doesn’t know what the two of them were talking about, but there was a time when she thought it was strange to see Lai openly revealing her magic formula even though she was by her side.

No matter how much she’s worth it, she usually doesn’t do that.

Philia, thinking about her past, sees Selma, who is still drinking her tea.

“Is Selma close with Instructor Rai?”

“Are you… Close? I guess not. In the past, we used to cross swords and aim for the neck. It’s not much different now. But now I just don’t have the strength to hold the sword.”

“……”

Seeing Selma say her bloody words with her kind expression, Philia shuts her mouth. She is said to be weak, but her deep pupils contain the aura of her predator.

“Can I ask what she’s been up to if you’ll excuse me?”

“I wish I could keep everything I said here a secret.”

Selma, thinking that since Rai brought her, she must be a trustworthy child, she asks, intending to reveal everything. Philia looks her in the eyes and nods her head, and Selma grins.

“I did a fixer. It’s the Verdigris Lizard.”

Philia, who had searched for all the strong people of her predecessor while investigating her identity, sent goose bumps down her spine at Selma’s words.

The verdigris lizard, which had only dealt with strong men that others could not touch, was in front of her eyes.

“Then…”

“That’s right. Bane’s fallen knight. Now he’s a pot-bellied man.”

Seeing Clay having a childish argument with Rai, Philia murmurs, and Selma nods her head.

Bane’s Corruption Knight, nicknamed the Butcher because he pulverizes everything in front of him, is whimpering while being caught by Rai’s beard.

I can’t believe it when I see Rai grabbing him by the hair and telling him to put each other first.

But even if she is real, Philia has no intention of being taught by Selma.

Ask for a vision from someone you’ve never seen before. Such a shameless thing can’t be accepted.

“Instructor Lai did something really wrong this time. I’m sorry. You’ve heard strange things about being a disciple.”

“Actually, I would be happy to do it if asked. That idiot doesn’t know anything else, but he has an excellent eye for people. And how can you not be happy that such a pretty girl is my student?”

“Thank you…”

“But that wouldn’t be polite.”

Selma shook her head slightly and looked away from her. As she says, it is not polite for her to teach right away, and it is not polite for her to be taught.

Only the two of them are in trouble because they ignored everything and proceeded recklessly.

We get greedy for each other.

Being able to learn from a strong man who dominated the era was a surprise to Philia, who had a high desire to learn but did not get a chance compared to her efforts.

Selma wasn’t interested in passing on her skills to her descendants. She lost her child and laid everything down. It was her husband, Clay, who kept her will to live until now, and now that she has retired, she has no desire for her sword or strength.

Even when I was teaching Zeroa, I felt sorry for the child who went back and forth on the threshold of her death without knowing anything. He told me a few things.

By the way, damn Lynom lights the fire again.

The two people, who are in a complicated state of mind, let out a small sigh at the same time, then look at each other and laugh.

“You don’t have to decide now. And I also need time to get to know Miss Filia. If you think you can learn easily because Rai recommended it, you’re mistaken. Think about it for as long as you can and then tell me.”

Selma says with a soft smile.

“Thank you for giving me such a great opportunity… I’m sorry, I’m shameless, but I’d like you to give me some time to think about it.”

Philia bows her head deeply and apologizes. At her polite apology, Selma makes her eyes shine.

Although we don’t have much time together, he is a coveted child. Her habits, coming out of her upright posture, mean that she has a sincere and upright character.

I’m sorry for the comparison, but it’s a straight personality that’s different from Zeroa. Even with the coveted opportunity in front of her, she doesn’t stop thinking and she doesn’t lose her confidence.

Her strong mental strength, not being swayed by others, was a good talent that was difficult to obtain through her training.

Selma gets up from her seat, fearing that the more they are together, the more greedy they will become.

Ray and Filia, who came out of the store as if they were being chased, talk while going back to the academy. Philia asks, looking strangely at Rai who suddenly made this offer to her.

“Why are you giving me this opportunity?”

“Not for you, but for Selma.”

“Thank you for being honest.”

For some reason, Philia, bothered by her remark that she is for Selma, turns her head away and she looks at him again.

“What’s your relationship with Selma?”

“While trying to kill each other.”

She’s like what Selma said. According to the data I read during the investigation, the two were active in the central and eastern parts of the continent. I’ve been to other places depending on the request, but if I met Rai, there’s a high probability that I met him in that area.

“Was the instructor a mercenary?”

“You are quite interested in me.”

“What, what what what, what, what, what nonsense?”

Philia is embarrassed as she stutters her words uncharacteristically.

“You said you only asked about me when you were talking to Selma earlier.”

“…… Uh… That’s…”

“Isn’t it a bit like asking the person who will become your teacher only for personal information?”

“I’m not a teacher yet. It’s something to think about.”

At Philia’s answer, Rai shrugged.

“Why do you have so many things to protect?

“Of course it’s etiquette.”

“Is that so? I don’t know, so it’s none of my business.”

Rai shuts her mouth as if it’s annoying.

Thinking of Selma’s proposal, Philia quietly walks down the street with Rai.

Her teacher was really insignificant. Rather, if Selma becomes a teacher, he is a person who will stretch out his hands and be grateful.

From noble mtl dot com

My teacher, who was a knight of the Serios family, was an ordinary knight. Due to his lack of skill, he did not become part of the Imperial Army, and he barely became a private in the Serios family.

‘I’m sorry, ma’am. There must be a better teacher…’

He always cherished Philia’s talent and was delighted when he was accepted into her academy.

He assigned Philia to teach self-defense skills, but he was praised for passing the academy without even thinking about it.

After that, the teacher who decided to travel her world sent letters to Philia from time to time, but she did not know where he was.

She said that if she goes to the academy, she will have a better teacher, and while she is chewing on his words, Rai recognizes someone and talks to her.

“Yo, kid. Where are you going?”

“I’m going to the dungeon tomorrow to buy supplies.”

Seeing her Cindy for the first time, Philia looks at her as she seems friendly with her rai.

Her eyes met Cindy’s face pierced her Philia for a moment, Lavoda looked at Rai with her disgusted eyes.

“To even lay a hand on an academy student…”

“What are you talking about?”

Cindy ignores her lie and grabs Philia’s hand and pulls her away.

“Watch out, he’ll teach you something, and he’ll tell you to go crazy.”

“……”

Why does this girl know what happened today?

At Philia’s bewildered expression, Cindy spoke in frustration.

“It’s all flirting, so don’t fall for it. You still have a bright future ahead of you. You can’t fall for such a slut.”
