I Became a Professor at the Academy
Chapter 100
100 – theorem
-Get on, time!! water in the nose… … What?!
– Die.
– Idni. It’s something you brought on yourself.
-Hey~!
Behind Claire, who had hardened, a splash of water rose and a loud noise was heard. I looked at Claire, who had frozen in the posture of arranging her flowing hair, and then quietly turned away.

I entered the study and watched the children through the window while drinking my own instant coffee.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
I could tell who it was even without checking, so instead of answering, I opened the door myself using magic and turned around.
“ah… … .”
The door to the study opened wide, revealing Claire in a bathing suit after she had wiped off the water.
‘It’s new.’
If she was wearing a swimsuit, she would have seen it many times before, but now she’s showing her shame. I looked at her pursed lips for a moment, then sat down.
“Go in and change.”
“… yes.”
She answered in one of the quietest voices I had heard in eight years and quietly went into the bedroom.
‘Is it because of the swimsuit?’
To be exact, a new swimsuit that has never been seen before.
In the past, she wore pure white shorts and shirts that matched well with her skin color, but today, she wore a black swimsuit that she had never seen before.
Considering that she usually avoids revealing outfits, it is not that difficult to guess who brought the swimsuit. Above all, Lee Ye-sol was the only person around her who presented her with plain clothes.
‘That seems to have been the ordering of the children back then.’
The existing one was quite huge, but the area of the pool now installed in the yard is slightly smaller than the previous one, and the width and length are closer to that of an installation type swimming pool than a pool.
“Well, as long as it doesn’t bother you, I don’t care what you install.”
Even though it was past six o’clock, I watched the guys still playing in the water under the blue sky for a while, then turned the chair and sat down again.

While I was writing in my journal while drinking coffee, Claire, who had gone into the bedroom, came out.
“Claire.”
“Yes, yes… … ?”
She was about to leave the study without saying a word to me, but she turns her head in a startle.
“Come this way.”
“… … ?”
I tapped the armrests of the chair with my fingers, and she blinked for a moment before slowly moving her feet to my side.
“A little more.”
“This is enough… … .”
Even though he stutters, I look at him quietly, and eventually he lowers his posture by lowering his back. Only then did I stretch out my left hand and brush her wet hair.
“Let your hair dry properly.”
“… thank you.”
As I did with the children, I wiped Claire’s wet hair with magic power and tidied it up.
“I’ll ask for a cup of coffee when you’re done.”
“Yes… … .”
With a slight reddish glow at the bottom of her neck, she turns her back with an empty teacup.
“Claire.”
“Yes… … ?”
Stepping through the crack in the half-open door, she cautiously turns her head to look at me.
“That’s the answer I’ve been putting off.”
“Delay… … ah.”
As if realizing something important, Claire’s blue eyes widened.
“I will answer you after the festival is over.”
“… … ?”
I tilted my head for a moment with wide eyes.
“… ah.”
With a short terminal, the slanted head stood straight again.
And.
“… I understand.”
He replied with a hardened expression.
“If you have nothing more to say, I will step back…” .”
When I nodded, she gently lowered her head and quietly left the study. I stared at the closed library door for a while and then started writing in my journal again.

After the festival… … .
After the festival… … .
After the festival… … .
Chee-Ik-!!
“… … ?”
When the smell of burnt air passed through his nose with an unpleasant sound, the focus returned to Claire’s dazed eyes.
“ah… … .”
She sighed briefly at the sight of the lid of the pot stirring with its simmering contents and turned off the heat.
Hwaaak-
When the lid was opened, the bubbles that swelled with the hot steam began to slowly disappear, and when the bubbles completely disappeared, half-simmered stew and pieces of meat stuck to the bottom were revealed in the pot.
“Sniff sniff, sister?”
-Give me some food!!
At that time, Baek Ha-na and the fairy came into the kitchen after finishing the shower, followed by Maria and Idni.
– Let’s go!!
“Why are you talking only to me?”
“Whoops.”
The fairy sitting at the table handed out the chocolate to Idni, and Idni grumbled while sitting next to the fairy and peeled the chocolate.
“sister? what’s the matter?”
“… Miss Hana.”
Claire, who was looking at the contents of the pot, spoke apologetically to Hana Baek, who approached.
“I think we should substitute instant for dinner tonight.”
“It’s okay because instant is delicious… … It’s a big deal. My sister failed all the stew.”
“Um… .”
At Baek Ha-na’s worrying question, Claire felt a little embarrassed and couldn’t answer properly.
“What’s going on?”
“Yeah, um… … me later… .”
“… yes. Okay.”
Claire’s earlobe slightly reddened.
Baek Ha-na, who was right next to him, did not miss the small change and realized that Baek Woo-jin was the reason why Stew failed.
“Whoa.”
Baek Ha-na, whose eyes had complex emotions for a moment, sighed briefly and clung to Claire’s side as she was cleaning the pot with a rather mischievous smile.
“We will do the cleanup. Unni, go and call Woojin.”
“No, that, but… … .”
“hurry.”
“… … yes.”
Claire left the kitchen, putting the pot in her hand.
-Tonight’s dinner is frozen.
-Cream udon!!
– But do you have a freezer?
-Uh, well… ?
Claire’s steps paused for a moment at the sound of children’s voices coming from the kitchen. It was because, although he brought up the word instant, in fact, the only instant that existed in the mansion was the coffee Baek Woo-jin drank.
‘Serial… … .’
Cereal that Baek Woo-jin sometimes buys for a simple meal when he is away from the mansion. That was all the kids could eat right now.
“Also… .”
I was about to turn around thinking I should make something quick and easy to eat, but I heard the door open from the hallway where the study was. And not long after, Baek Woo-jin appeared.
“professor… … .”
As Baek Woo-jin slowly approached with silent steps, Claire’s gaze naturally turned to the floor.
“Claire.”
“Yes… … .”
Unexpectedly, my heart beats so fast.
Even when I had to deal with the same human for the first time, I didn’t run like this.
As she was worried that her heartbeat might be leaking out, Baek Woo-jin’s low voice passed her ears.
“Coffee takes a little longer.”
“… … !!”
It was.
I remembered that I had finished preparing dinner and said I would prepare a new coffee and take it home.
“Ah, that, ugh… … .”
I wanted to apologize, but the man standing in front wouldn’t allow it. That’s why when you’re confused and don’t know what to say.
Swoop.
A hand that didn’t belong to him approached into the field of vision that was pointing downward, and raised it under his chin.
“I can’t even joke about this.”
“… … ?”
Joke?
When Claire was confused by an unexpected word, Baek Woo-jin, who had slightly raised her chin, removed her hand and passed Claire.
“I’ll replace it with coffee for dinner.”
“… … ah!!”
Claire, who came back to her senses at the voice that made her heart tremble, quickly turned around and followed Baek Woo-jin.
“Ah, Woojin.”
Baek Ha-na, who was just putting Claire’s cereal in a bowl, smiled brightly when she saw Baek Woo-jin in the kitchen.
However, Baek Woo-jin looked at Baek Ha-na in silence for a while at that smile, which was a little different from usual, and then sat down quietly.
Soon after, Claire poured instant coffee into Baek Woo-jin’s cup and set it down in front of him. Baek Woo-jin took a sip of coffee and opened his mouth.
“I don’t mind setting up a pool, but it gets in the way of training, so clean it up when you come in the morning.”
“Eek… … .”
Baek Ha-na, who was pouring milk over the cereal, frowned.
Baek Woo-jin added to that.
“I won’t stop you from installing and using it again after training is over.”
“… Can’t we just take a few days off?”
“Can not be done.”
Baek Woo-jin’s attitude was very determined.
At that time, Baek Ha-na’s gaze moved from Baek Woo-jin to Claire.
Just in case something like this happens, everyone except Baek Woo-jin has already kissed. But.
Swoop.
“… … ?”
“… … .”
Claire, who was standing next to Baek Woo-jin, turned her head to the side to avoid Baek Ha-na’s gaze.
The betrayal of Claire, who cooperated every summer, left Baek Ha-na at a loss for words.
“One hundred and one.”
“… … Why?”
Baek Ha-na, whose lips had become duck-billed before he knew it, responded with the characteristic tone that comes out when pouting.
At Baek Ha-na’s attitude, Baek Woo-jin put down the glass he was holding.
“… why.”
Since Baek Hana knew Baek Woo-jin better than anyone else, Baek Hana quickly corrected what she had said before Baek Woo-jin opened her mouth.
Baek Woo-jin stared at Baek Ha-na for a while, then sighed briefly and opened his mouth.
“Just hold on until the festival is over. Then, I’ll let you spend the rest of the time in the mansion, not the dormitory. Of course, there is no training, and you can play as much as you want.”
“… … really?”
“yes. Neither do you. Talk to Ye-Sol Lee and tell her to release the forbidden things.”
“Wow… … !!”
“oh… … .”
Not only Baek Ha-na, but also Idni and Maria looked at Baek Woo-jin with their eyes wide open. This is also true because even after the festival is over, there is still a month left before school starts.
“If you understand, don’t be dissatisfied and work hard.”
“Yeah!! I love you!!”
Baek Hana threw herself at Baek Woo-jin.
Normally, he would have hit him on the forehead with his magic, but for some reason, today he accepted a hundred hugs.
“yes… … ?”
“What.”
“Oh, no.”
Hana Baek not only accepted her hug, but also gently stroked her hair as before. Her face blushed instantly, and she quickly fell from his arms, startled by his beating heart.
-sucker!!
“Uhuhu, that’s right~”
“… … !!”
When the fairy, who was munching on the chocolate, pointed to Baek Ha-na and said that, Maria, who was sitting next to her, gave the fairy a new chocolate with a smirk.
**
After the children go back to their dorms.
-Hello jjumusee!!
The fairy with a cute little belly bowed toward Baek Woo-jin and entered the bedroom with Claire.
-Beep~
“Good night.”
-Wow~ I’m ready to draw~
The fairy smiled broadly at Claire’s gentle caress on her hair and crouched inside the basket.
-Beep, beep~
At the sound of even breathing that followed, Claire carefully put a red cloth over the fairy’s chest.
‘It’s far away, is it?’
A vague presence that would not be strange even if it disappeared right in front of my eyes.
However, the one he had in his heart said. Parting with this child in front of her is farther than she thought.
If it was my old self, I would never have believed it.
He only believes in what he sees and feels.
But for some reason, he believes his words without even realizing it.
Maybe that’s why the anxiety I had whenever I saw this little child disappeared from that day onwards.
It was a change that I couldn’t even comprehend.
I just heard a word… … .
Hwaaak-!!
Claire’s face suddenly grew hot.
The hand that I tried to forget forcibly came back to me naturally.
“Kuhm… .”
Claire let out a small cough for no reason and pulled out the tablet she had tucked under her pillow. Although the activity was officially stopped, that did not mean that the work disappeared, so I was processing work by checking the documents sent by Lee Ye-sol and paying for them every night.
Tring-!!
“… … ?”
One email that came to mind while processing work for a while.
It was an email from Maria, who had returned to the temple a few hours ago.
This was the first time that Maria, not Lee Ye-sol, had contacted her directly like this since the case of Hana Baek and the Apprentice Priestess of the God of Fortune.
“It’s not an incident… .”
Claire opened the mail from her beloved child.
[Maria: (Photo)]
There was only one photo attached to the e-mail without any special content.
Claire’s eyes widened slightly as she enlarged the picture.
【Who is the professor you want to spend time with?!】
Go to the homepage right now and vote in the event section!!
Along with a very brief description, there were pictures of several professors from each grade below. and at its center.
‘… … ?’
Baek Woo-jin’s photo was the largest.
