I Became a Professor at the Academy

141 – A Month in Hell (2)

“Colosseum… … ?”

Baek Hana, who entered the crack first, was able to see the huge circular arena spreading out magnificently.

“I think it’s a structure where something starts when you go down there.”

Nam Seo-hee, who came in with Baek Ha-na, looked around calmly and then said.

-Kyaaak?!

Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee turned their heads at the sharp scream.

I spotted Na Joo-hee, who was summoned outside the spectators and fell down the arena.

“Let’s sit here for now. It is one.”

“OK.”

Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee sat in the stands.

It was made of a hard marble-like material, so the comfort was at a level that could not be said to be good.

“By the way, where is Professor Chun?”

“Yeah. You should have come in first.”

As the two looked around the stands looking for Cheon Ji-ho, students began to be summoned one by one.

“Kuheumm… … !!”

And for some reason, Jayden, who was falling head first, quickly landed on the floor using his floating magic and coughed.

“Professor Cheon Ji-ho?”

A voice imbued with magic spread quickly.

– It’s down there.

Soon after, Cheon Ji-ho’s voice was heard from under the audience.

“Gather under everyone.”

Jayden jumped down the stands first, and the other students started moving as well.

“Shall we go too?”

“yes.”

Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee were the last students to jump off the stands.

“Ah, there are 30 of them.”

Jayden confirmed that there were no losers by including Baek Hana and Nam Seo-hee, who came down belatedly.

“Ha, I’ll quickly take a quick look around to see what’s around.”

Chunjiho fluttered the sleeve of his left hand, which was loosely emptied, and quickly climbed up the wall.

“Hey… !! Let’s go together, so why did you leave without me?”

“I didn’t hear you.”

“Oops… !!”

While Nam Seo-hee and Na Joo-hee were staring at each other and waging a war of nerves, Baek Ha-na glanced up at the open ceiling.

‘It’s like a real sky.’

The blazing sunlight contained warm and cozy warmth just like the real thing, and the blue sky and floating clouds also looked no different from the real thing.

I have experienced this artificial crack through Baek Woo-jin several times, but the natural environment so vividly embodied was so vivid that I was blinded every time I saw it, and felt new every time.

“Inside, there was a waiting room and a bathroom. But there were no other facilities.”

“Hmm, then you’re saying there’s nothing to eat.”

“That’s right.”

Unlike Cheonjiho, who was a little serious, Jayden didn’t show much concern even when he replied that he had no food.

“Let’s move to the center first. As I came down, I saw something on the floor.”

“I see.”

Jayden took the lead, followed by Cheon Ji-ho and the students.

“The floor is soft.”

“Yeah. I don’t think you’ll be seriously hurt if you fall.”

After overhearing the conversation between Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee, Na Joo-hee stomped her foot and pressed it against the dirt floor.

And I admired the floor that easily left traces like a sponge cake.

“This, it seems to be standing in line, doesn’t it?”

“Yes… … .”

Arriving at the center of the Colosseum, the two professors were able to find a white scaffold that seemed to be a hidden gimmick. In addition, it was a footrest that was stamped in black even to the kindly person’s foot stamp.

“Hmm, I guess stepping on this will summon one of the other academy students participating in the festival.”

“Yes? Student, you mean?”

At Cheon Ji-ho’s surprised question, Jayden nodded.

“Professor Baek instructed me to organize and send other academy student candidates by yesterday.”

“This… Are you sure you want to say it’s to prepare?”

“Yes. Well, Professor Cheon Ji-ho doesn’t know the greatness of this place, so it’s hard to believe. It’s understandable.”

If he hadn’t known what this place really was, he would have reacted the same way.

“There is no exit anyway, so don’t waste time and try to activate it. Who wants to step on this?”

“No, rather than asking the students first… … .”

“Ehehehe, that’s probably not what Professor Baek wants. We must have been put in the role of watching students from behind and giving hard advice, so let’s be faithful to the role we have been given. It is possible that we may run out of numbers if we step out.”

“… That’s it too. But I heard that Korean is not good, but now I see that you are very fluent.”

“Well, I made a little effort to impress the superiors.”

Jaden turned around and looked around at the students.

“Now, does anyone go first?”

Swoop.

“It’s Miss Hana and Miss Dew.”

He glanced at the two faces of opposite colors.

“If it were a real battle, the king would have to stay until the end, but since training is the goal now, it would be right to prioritize the king’s will.”

As soon as Jaden’s words were finished, Yun Seul lowered his raised hand.

“That’s why, Miss Hana?”

“Yes.”

Hana Baek walked forward, wearing slightly worn half-gloves on both hands.

“Others, please step back. You never know where you will be summoned.”

When the rest of the students had enough distance, Hana Baek placed her feet on top of the footprints drawn on the scaffolding.

Ugh-!!

“… … ?”

The ground shook slightly, and in an instant those around them disappeared.

But the bewilderment did not last long.

It was because I found a group of people gathered in one place.

“then… … Can I fight him?”

Baek Hana tightened her fist as she looked at the summoned object that was emitting blue light and taking shape.

‘Is it another academy student… … .’

The summoned creature, fully human, wore a suit of gold and black and wore a Western-style sword at the waist.

flash!

“… What if I stare?”

Sureureung.

The summoned object did not answer and pulled out the sword it was wearing at the waist.

And that very moment when the shoulders slightly rise.

Paaang——!!

The head of the summon disappeared with the sound of air exploding.

The fist of Baek Ha-na, which was originally crossing the place where the head was supposed to be, moved slowly and returned to its original position.

cooong!

The summoned object fell to the floor with a heavy sound, and it soon disappeared as particles.

But that’s for a while.

Ugh-!!

A new summon began to take shape in the place where the summon had just disappeared.

“Efficient use of power… … .”

Baek Ha-na, who warmed up by running lightly in place, waited for another summoned creature with the same uniform and sword to pull out the sword.

Sureureung.

And as the summoned creature pulled out its sword and went into action, it kicked the floor at the same time.

Pooh-!!

This time, a hundred fists pierced through the breasts of the summons.

‘It’s too easy.’

After that, Hana Baek turned ten summoned objects into powder.

“It’s worth doing now.”

So far, it’s all in line, but the summon that just fell has withstood two attacks. He entered a section where he could feel that his summoned skills were improving little by little.

-Miss Hana, would you say that you are giving up?

But just when the excitement started to rise, Jaden’s voice with magic was heard and Baek Hana had to follow his instructions. I am a student and he is a professor.

“abstention.”

ugh-

Then, once again, a small vibration resonated through the floor, and the summoned object in front of me turned into powder and disappeared in the wind.

Swoop.

“… … ?!”

One hundred ears and tail stood upright.

It was very fleeting, but it was because a warm and cozy touch brushed my cheek that I could never forget.

“right… … .”

Baek Ha-na, who was about to call the name of the person she wanted to see, could not finish her words.

Because when I came to my senses, I was already standing in a different place.

Even with some food in hand.

lively.

One hundred tails waggled pleasantly.

Originally, I was planning to work hard with motivation, but it was because I had a reason to work harder than that.

“It is one.”

“Ah, it’s Seohee.”

Hana Baek, who was standing with ready-to-eat food in her arms, stopped wagging her tail when her friend appeared and approached her.

“Professors are looking for you.”

“let’s go.”

As if she hadn’t laughed before, Baek Ha-na raised her usual sharp eyes and returned to the gathering place with Nam Seo-hee.

“With abstention, you can stop when you want… … Players go to the waiting room. And food to eat is paid… … That’s about it.”

Jayden organized the information he found out through the confrontation with Hana Baek.

“You can stop when you want, so let’s start by checking a few things.”

Afterwards, following Jayden’s instructions, ten more students climbed onto the field and declared a withdrawal.

“For now, the opponents are fixed as French apprentice chevaliers, and the amount of food varies depending on the number of opponents defeated… Finally, if you give up and try again, you have to start from the beginning… … That’s right.”

“It looks like a structure that can be repeated over and over again as long as it doesn’t knock down the first place.”

“Yes, I think so too. And if my predictions are correct, if you knock out the first place, it looks like you’ll be replaced by candidates from other academies.”

“Well… … You said it was a month, so there won’t be enough time.”

Jayden nodded as if agreeing.

“I think I need quick training. It’s better to show it than to explain it in words. I don’t know if we will be recognized… … First of all, I will go out first and demonstrate one by one until I get first place.”

Jaden jumped out of the stands and headed for the center of the arena.

“I want everyone to pay attention and take a good look. They are the opponents you will actually meet and fight against.”

At Cheon Ji-ho’s words, the students nodded and each moved to a position where they could see it best.

“It’s starting.”

Jaden stood on the scaffolding, and with a blue light, the summons began to take shape.

By the way.

“… … old man?”

The students who had been wearing Chevalier’s apprentice uniforms were summoned, but what appeared in front of Jaden was an old man holding a staff.

And.

Bahah——!!

The thick staff struck Jaden right in the back of the head.
