Academy Slave Instructor

89 – Horses, Horses, Horses

Words, Horses, Horses

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Sierra.”

“You can speak comfortably. He is a senior to me.”

After coming out of the classroom, Lai and Sierra walk around the campus and talk.

“It’s interesting, he has the same name as someone I know.”

“Looks like he’s a commoner too. He’s a common name among commoners, so there’s nothing surprising about it.”

Rei thinks of Sierra, whom he met at the adventurer’s guild, and Rai speaks, but Sierra, who is burdened, answers without much inspiration.

It seems that he is not the type to talk well with people.

She has a hard tone and attitude, she is a woman who somehow reminds me of Layla.

“I know someone with a similar vibe. Do you know Layla?”

“Yes, I know. She’s famous and I’ve seen her a few times when she was in the military.”

When she said that she knew Leila, Rai nodded her head and looked at her Sierra.

She is very different from Sierra, the adventurer.

Not only the atmosphere, but the difference in body shape is especially evident.

Recalling the two large, fluffy lumps, Rai smiles at Sierra, who has a strong androgynous feel.

She has a look of sympathy somewhere in her eyes, and Sierra tilts her head slightly, but doesn’t ask questions.

“Anyway, nice to meet you. But why didn’t I know Sierra was my burden?”

Rye asks a meaningful question, but Sierra answers casually.

“Isn’t it because you didn’t come to the morning meeting?”

“……That’s right.”

She skipped the morning routine, so she was chased by Bright earlier.

Recalling that she introduced herself to her instructors at the morning meeting last year, Lai nodded her head and quickly changed her topic.

“I see. Um… Then you’re a burden, so what’s the burden?”

“Didn’t you pay the burden last year?”

“Yes, I did.”

Sierra examines Rai’s eyes to see what her question is about.

She looks like she’s asking innocent questions without much thought. It was quite a poker face.

Thinking it was a test to see if she understood her duties properly, Sierra immediately organized her thoughts and answered.

“The assistant manager helps with all the work of the person in charge. He manages the class or academy students, analyzes the growth of the students, and reports to the person in charge. The person in charge has it. Each person in charge has a different inclination, so the type of work is different, but…”

As Rai listened to Sierra, she regretted asking for nothing.

She goes on to give endless examples of what it would be like to be just an assistant in charge.

After a very long explanation that was so boring that at first she forgot what example she had given, Rai gives her a thumbs up saying that she listened well with her fake smile.

“Thank you.”

Rye, who noticed Sierra’s short thank you, asked again in a small way.

“Do you really do that much?”

“Yes, Lecturer Lai has experience with burdens, so I’m sure he understands it well, but the instructor in charge is busy, so if the burdens aren’t there to help, the workload is significant.”

I don’t know.

Ray, who was Layla’s burden, has no memory of ever working.

This is partly due to Layla’s personality, who is satisfied with taking care of everything herself, and partly because she did not carelessly entrust tasks to Lai, who came in under her disguise.

Lai, who was in charge last year, didn’t do anything related to the academy, and he still doesn’t know anything.

‘Monthly report? Training plan? What is it?’

Now I know that the instructor in charge has to report to Bright every month.

Come to think of it, I think he said something earlier, but I can’t really remember because he’s only thinking about running away.

“What did I say wrong?”

“No, I love it because it’s reliable.”

When Lai laughs while hiding her true feelings, Sierra gives a plain reply with a short word, thank you again.

“So what am I supposed to do now?”

When she asks herself about her schedule, Sierra quickly opens her mouth thinking she’s testing again.

“Today’s schedule is to go to the horseback riding training ground in the afternoon with the class academy students, except for the lectures you are assigned.”

Rai, feeling like a secretary who informs her about the work, thoughtlessly nods her head and asks back.

“A riding school? Why is it there?”

“Uh… Sophomores have a mounted battle planned for this semester’s comprehensive training. You know… You know?”

When Sierra, who finally realizes that it is strange little by little, speaks with her doubts, Rai shuts her mouth, thinks for a moment, then opens her mouth.

“Can’t we just send the kids there? I’m not going to teach them how to ride, so why go there?”

“Today is not a training day, it is a day to choose a horse to train. Each class takes turns choosing a horse, but as you know, the horse’s ability is the most important in a horseback battle…”

Again, when her words become too long, Rai quickly replies that he will understand and exits the conversation.

Sierra, who was newly appointed to the academy and became a burden, was a difficult person to deal with with a type like Rai.

* * *

Horses are very important livestock for humans.

She pulls a wagon, works in the fields, and becomes a reliable companion on the battlefield.

In the history of war, equestrianism has become an indispensable ability, and even if those who bear weapons use mana and improve their physical abilities, horses fight alongside them until the end.

As warriors became able to split stones and move faster than arrows, horses almost became a simple means of transportation, but as many technologies developed in the age of war, war horses also changed.

For stronger warriors, horses were crossbreeded or made into chimeras, and then chimeras were crossbreeded, magic tools were attached to horses, or objects with high intelligence were made to be able to use simple magic.

Under the will to create a better horse, countless people such as breeders, wizards, and alchemists continued to conduct ruthless experiments, and now they have even created a species that is questionable whether it can be called a horse.

“That makes sense, right?”

Seeing her horse loose in her paddock, Sesset asks Rai.

Her question is natural.

A horse with a mane like a lion, a body similar to that of a hippopotamus, and a skin layered like armor, is leisurely grazing with other horses.

The horses grazing next to you are also strange.

The shape is a horse, but there are also green ones, and there are horses with long fangs sticking out of their mouths.

For generations, academy students from families who have served in the military seem familiar with remodeled war horses, but Se-set, a pure magician, has only seen normal horses.

“That’s sh*t, that’s green sh*t, that’s called poo teeth.”

“… I don’t know why only poop comes out, but I don’t have a bad naming sense.”

“No, I really call it that.”

Rye is unfair.

I don’t know what name scholars or magicians gave it, but soldiers and knights actually call it what he said.

“Soldier’s sweetfish. The breeds are called, in order, Archerian, Greenwood, and Capatros.”

“Wow- Instructor Sierra is smart. I wish any instructor would be a bit like him.”

“Hey, do you think the name Archerian suits that pig?”

It was three sets that praised Sierra, but her heart agreed with Rai’s words.

“Anyway, go and pick out what you want to ride. Let’s finish quickly.”

Rai says to the academy students who are watching whether it’s bothersome.

While the keeper is instructing the academy students on the horse, a few academy students, including the three three, quietly watch.

“Why aren’t you guys going?”

“I’m a pure mage, so I’m excluded from horseback combat training.”

Sesset replies as a representative.

“Oh, it would be nice to rest in peace while others are struggling.”

“It’s not good because it’s filled with other training instead. A pure mage has its own agony.”

It is an academy centered around knights and commanders, but it also has a curriculum for pure mages.

If it wasn’t for that, there would be no way for those who dream of becoming pure mages to choose Legandia Academy over another place.

“This is a Siborza species. He is docile and has low fighting ability, but he is strong and loyal, so he is popular.”

Zero Ah possesses the role of a breeder and introduces her horses to her academy students at some point.

After hearing his explanation, Arya silently strokes the horse’s head, and the academy students just stare blankly at it.

“What the hell is he doing? There’s nothing he hasn’t done before.”

“If you ask me, I’d say I worked as an assistant in the stables, right?”

Seemed to agree with Rai’s words, Sesset copied Zeroa’s tone and nodded her head.

Lying on his side on the fence, Rai sees Emilia watching the academy students outside.

“The princess isn’t even a pure wizard, so why is she watching like a stranger?”

Sierra stares at Rai, who is surprised by Rai talking plainly to her princess, but Emilia smiles lightly as if she doesn’t care.

“I can’t participate in training because of the last incident.”

“Training inside the academy instead of outside? Aren’t you pampering yourself too much?”

“That’s right. I like horseback riding too, but it’s a pity.”

Because of her assassination, Emilia was banned from participating in all large-scale training.

Even her tactical training she did in the second semester last year, Emilia had to sit and watch, and she did the same this time.

While she is talking regretfully, there is a loud noise from the academy students watching her words.

When Rai turned her head, Aslan was flying high in the sky.

“You son of a b*tch!!”

Aslan made a loud noise and landed on the ground as she straightened her posture in the air.

Looking at Aslan who is angry with her horse and her horse with her back foot down, you can see what happened.

The shape of the horse remains the same, but the horse, which looks twice as big as the other horses, turns around and looks down at Aslan.

“The cheeky bastard…”

“Oh no, no. No!”

Aslan, who is angry at the horse’s contemptuous eyes, tries to pull out the greatsword attached to his back, the keeper runs to stop him.

“That horse is still very wild, so it’s not easy to tame it. The academy has brought you a special horse to test which horse you can choose and how to train it.”

Why didn’t I know that fact? Curious, Rai looks at Sierra.

The Academy deliberately prepared a variety of species to enhance the training ability of the academy students. Among horses with different personalities and abilities, the academy student must choose a horse that suits him and develop his riding ability while interacting with each other.

While listening to her long explanation as music, the academy students who had listened to the keeper’s explanation looked at the black horse kicking Aslan.

The highest level of difficulty, but the trainer’s explanation that it was the best horse among the horses here was enough to burn their fighting spirit.

After hearing the keeper’s words, Aslan took out a carrot and approached the horse, knowing when it was ready.

‘I wonder if that was in the kitchen.’

When Rai thinks of the items in the kitchen, the black horse calmly accepts Aslan’s carrots and eats them.

Asran, satisfied with the horse’s docility, tried to pet the horse’s head, but the horse quickly turned its face and bit his arm.

I avoided it by a narrow car, but in the meantime, the horse leaves as if it is not interested.

“That’s…”

“Your intentions are so obvious. Horses are highly intelligent creatures.”

Having passed Aslan, Philia confidently approaches her black horse.

Although not from a military family, he has seen many horses since he was a child.

Knowing how her knights are interacting with her horse, Philia moves her hand slowly enough to not provoke her and puts it on her horse’s head.

As I stroked it slowly, the black horse turned its face while making a purring sound as if it was in a good mood.

Have you seen Philia? Enraged by that expression, Asran frowned.

As if wanting her touch, her words move her head directly, rubbing here and there.

–

“……”

Philia sees her saliva on her hand.

Her hands are all covered with mud, probably because of her words. A long drop of sticky saliva, possibly mixed with phlegm, dripped down her hand, and Aslan laughed loudly behind her.

“This horse meat bastard…”

“No! No! No killing!”

Her keeper stops Philia, who naturally gets her hand on the sword at her waist, and her other academy students continue to challenge her, but she fails every time.

The academy students who were humiliated in all kinds of ways, such as being kicked by her feet, showing the appearance of pooping in front of her, and biting her, all had one mind.

I’m going to kill that foal.

Only the zookeeper is confused by the atmosphere of the academy students, who are ready to stab at any moment if it is not for the academy’s property.

Diana said she didn’t like the black horse, so she didn’t challenge it in the first place, and Abigail also chose a different horse.

Arya, who she thought was possible, was also rejected by her words.

Her beauty transcends her species and doesn’t insult like her other academy students, but as she stares hesitantly, her words turn her head and she politely declines.

Needless to say, seeing that, the anger of the academy students who were discriminated against by her horse increased even more.

Zeroa, who had experience working in her stable, was approaching the Jeongseokdae, but her horse immediately ran and she could not do anything and she was driven away.

“Puhahahahaha, are you being attacked by idiots?”

When Rai, who watched her from behind, laughs at her, the anger directed at her horse pours out on him.

“Oh, then you tried it.”

“Why am I? I’m a lecturer, not an academy student who loses even to horses.”

At Aslan’s displeasure, Rai giggles.

When Sierra is judging whether she should intervene by looking back and forth between her academy students and her lie, Cesset raises her hand and speaks in a bright voice.

“Then I’ll make a bet~ Please tell me first if Raikang can’t do it.”

“Are you gambling here too?”

“You can’t miss this part.”

Sesset smiles single single and collects money from her academy students.

When she naturally challenges her words, Rai puts on a trembling expression and calls her to the zookeeper.

“Can I try?”

“Yes, well… They said it doesn’t matter…”

From noble mtl dot com

The zookeeper spares her words and then approaches Rai and whispers.

“That instructor… He was so wild that even the active knights gave up on it. No one could tame it, so he came all the way here. If you think of honor, don’t do it…”

Rye, who slapped the worried keeper on the shoulder, went down from the fence.

There is something wrong with the zookeeper, but if you heard this, it is the academy students and people like Lai who have to take on the challenge.

“Listen, you idiots who can’t handle a horse. It’s easy to train a horse.”

Rai, who passed the academy students while twirling her arms, looks up at the horse looking down with cheeky eyes.

“From now on, I’ll teach you how to tame it in the fastest and shortest way. Learn it well.”

The academy students who bet on Rai’s confident words that he can’t do it look at him with uneasy eyes.

I told him to try it out of anger, but when the bet was made, he came to his senses and bet all his small fortune on the idea that he could do it.

Smiling, Rai stretches his hands toward his horse’s head.

Rai extends his hand like a child begging for a hug and grabs the neck of the horse who is shaking his head as if it’s annoying.

At the action that followed, all the academy students widened their eyes in surprise.

– Ppaak

Rai jumped up and headbutted her horse.
