8 – Entrance Ceremony

The day before Derian received the letter of appointment from the president.

There was someone who visited the president’s office that evening.

A woman with her red hair down to her waist tied in a ponytail.

It was Elysia.

Knock tok tok

Elysia arrived at the door before she knew it and knocked on the door.

Then a voice came from the room.

“I would have told you that we are not accepting guests today.”

The president’s voice from the room was mixed with annoyance.

She was the one whose stress was building up because of what had happened during the day.

Then, an unannounced visitor made her annoyed.

However, Elysia did not care about the president’s reaction and spoke.

“This is Grandma. Elysia.”

At that moment, the door opened by itself even though Elysia did not open it.

It was opened by Atalanta.

Entering the room through the open door, Elysia could see Atalanta in the form of a small girl.

Because she did not hide herself even from her own flesh and blood, she welcomed Elysia after releasing her illusion.

After confirming that Elysia had entered her room, Atalanta opened her mouth first.

“What is it, you who didn’t come even when I called you like that?”

Elysia smiled at Atalanta’s questioning words.

“I came because I wanted to see my grandmother.”

Atalanta said that as if it was ridiculous.

“You’re lying without blinking an eye. So what did you come here for?”

“It’s a lie. I’m sincere Of course, I came here because I have a favor to ask of you.”

“I knew that too,” Said Atalanta, who nodded her head.

“Okay, tell me what to ask of you.”

She was an Atalante who wanted to fulfill the request of her granddaughter who had come a long way, if possible.

“You know her grandmother Der Anh.”

Bagak

In an instant, the fountain pen in Atalanta’s hand shattered.

It’s not easy to break, but it broke so easily in her tiny hands.

“How do you know its name?”

She asked, trying to keep her smile.

“Something happened.”

In response to Atalanta’s question, Elysia explained to Atalanta everything that had happened while coming to her academy.

She was sometimes angry, worried, and relieved as she listened to Elysia’s story.

“I am so glad you are safe.”

“It’s all thanks to Derian-sensei.”

The reason she was able to meet Atalanta while still alive was because of Derahn.

“Then why don’t you let me work as a professor?”

If a stranger had seen her big girl flirting with her little girl much longer than herself, she would have looked at her strangely, but her opponent was the president.

Could it be that Elysia’s cuteness worked?

Atalanta said, supporting her chin with her clasped hands.

“However, with her magic user skill, she cannot teach the students here… ….”

It was natural for her to be worried that she would be able to teach her students well with Der Anh’s skills.

No matter how much he was a benefactor who saved his granddaughter’s life, nothing was impossible.

As the president of Arsene Academy, he was responsible for providing quality instruction to the students.

He

He tried to refuse, saying it was a difficult request.

However, she had no choice but to crumple at her granddaughter’s words.

“But, I heard that even her grandmother was surprised enough.”

I’m guessing you mean the test.

She was honestly surprised.

Until now, no one who had stood before him could see through and destroy the illusion.

“Did he tell you?”

“It doesn’t matter because I knew the truth anyway.”

The president didn’t want more people to know his secret.

It seemed that he hadn’t spoken to anyone but Elysia so far.

“And although Derian is lacking, I think there are many things to learn from the theory.”

Her granddaughter seemed unwilling to step down.

He wanted to somehow appeal to the man’s strengths and hire him as a professor.

He is definitely a man who has passed his test.

There was no problem even if I hired him as a professor.

I was just worried about whether he would do well.

Her continued request from her granddaughter finally raised the white flag.

“After…… I can’t help it.”

“Are you doing it?”

“As you said, I passed the test, so hiring a professor is the right procedure.”

Atalanta took out her paper and began to fill out Der An’s appointment as professor.

“If he doesn’t produce satisfactory results instead, he will be kicked out.”

“That will never happen.”

●●●

A week has passed since I received the letter of appointment from the president.

It was the day of the entrance ceremony of Arsene Academy.

The entrance ceremony was said to be held in the main auditorium in the center of the academy.

After washing my body in the faculty dormitory supported by the academy, I stood in front of the mirror wearing a suit that I had washed and prepared.

“Hmm…… Do you think this is good enough?”

Confidence springs up whenever you stand in front of a mirror.

It wasn’t a bad face.

I thought so.

After all the preparations, I left the dormitory and headed for the auditorium.

When I arrived at the auditorium, I was guided to my seat by an employee hired by the academy.

It was a place prepared for professors.

As I was about to sit down, a man with glasses sitting next to me started talking to me.

“This is the first time I see you. Are you a new teacher this time?”

I accepted his greeting and sat down.

“Yes, I am Derahn, who has just been appointed this time.”

“I see. Nice to meet you. My name is Archon Minche, who is in charge of the intermediate class in the magic world.”

When Archon introduced himself, he shook hands.

I accepted his handshake.

“By the way, what class did Derian-sensei take?”

“Ah, there is no division, and I am in charge of the failed student class.”

He asked with a surprised face.

“Are you half-hearted?”

“Yes.”

“You must be having a hard time. All of a sudden, I’m in the half of a failed student…….”

“Is something wrong?”

‘Is there something?’

“Originally, they are classmates of underachievers. If you teach them roughly and leave them alone, they are gathered here. But this time it is a little different.”

“What do you mean?”

“I heard that the son of Duke Dekaron of the Labyrinth Empire is in the failing class.”

“Duke of Deccaron?”

He is a founding contributor to the empire.

The family that can be said to have the power next to the emperor is the Duke of Dekaron.

To think that the son of such a family was in the failing student class, he was like Arsene, who judged everything based only on his skills.

“This is a son born in his later years in a ducal family that only had daughters. Such a son is now on the verge of expulsion, and he will not be safe unless he is properly taught.”

“That sounds a bit risky.”

It was around the time when the story with Archon was somewhat ripe.

Above the podium in the main auditorium, a fire broke out that covered the entire podium.

All the students screamed in surprise, and the new teachers couldn’t hide their surprise either.

However, the burning flames died down in an instant, and a woman stood in the center of the podium.

It was the president.

“Nice to meet you. The Empire and the children of the Five Kingdoms.”

The president looked around the seats and continued.

“I am Atalante Arsene, Rector of Arsene Academy.”

The President’s speech continued.

“What Arsene Academy pursues is only competence.”

Academy for meritocracy, that is Arsene.

“Sometimes it’s hard and there will be times when you want to give up. But I want you to keep this in mind.”

Then she continued.

“The time given to us is finite. The pain from learning right now is only temporary, but the pain from not learning will make you suffer for the rest of your life.”

‘You have the same thoughts as me.’

The pain of learning is temporary, but the pain of not learning is for a lifetime.

I thought so.

“Even if it is painful and difficult, endure it. We, Arsene, promise to make you a stronger and more powerful person.”

In that way, the formal entrance ceremony passed, and the last words of the president continued.

“Welcome back to Arsene.”

After that, the entrance ceremony ended and all the students moved to their assigned classes.

I also had to head to the failing class that I was now in charge of.

“I think we should break up now. Teacher Derean, please do your best.”

Akon said with a face that seemed to be genuinely worried about me.

‘No, how stupid is that?’

With that thought in mind, I went to the failed student class.

It wasn’t long before I arrived at the failed students’ class.

The first thing that greeted me when I opened the door was a bucket of water falling from above.

I lightly dodged it.

Even though I avoided it, I couldn’t stop the water from splashing.

The hem of his pants was a little wet.

“What do you avoid?”

“Didn’t you say you’re a wizard? You move faster than you think?”

There were not many students in the class.

There were about 5 students.

Whether the students are disappointed or not, standing in front of the lecture table, I opened my mouth.

“Nice to meet you. I am Derian, and I am teaching you from today.”

I said, lifting up an empty bucket.

“By the way, who did this prank?”

At that time, a boy dressed in fancy clothes raised his hand, probably from a wealthy family.

“I did it. Do you have a problem?”

A lot.

There were too many.

“What is your student name?”
