I Became a Professor at the Academy

6 – Auction House (1)

It was the sixth morning when I woke up in this world.

What you need to recover your body is enough sleep and time.

A body that does not require food is indeed convenient. Since it is free from various physiological phenomena, how could it not be convenient?

For that reason, upon returning from the temple, I immediately lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. After a good night’s sleep, as soon as the sun rose, I put on my coat and left the only nest.

After walking through the famous infinite labyrinth as if walking on a promenade, the destination is the temple of Yu-Hee-sin.

I could have done it to impede my perception as I came out of the maze, but I didn’t. For my future activities, I needed to make my existence known from within the academy.

The problem is that it is early in the morning during vacation, so the students are not visible.

The distance of light was also the same as there were no people.

However, in front of Yu Hee-shin’s temple.

Standing there was a woman with a cold impression, wearing a tight-fitting black suit and her waist-length golden hair neatly tied back.

It was the priest who guided me to the prayer room yesterday.

【Inside the blood-stained crack.】

[The gorgeous golden hair that shines brightly is blowing in the wind.]

[The woman slowly turns her head after stepping on the pieces of flesh of the demons.]

[Beautiful eyes contain ‘us’ as if carved from deep blue ice.]

‘Clerbin Asen.’

The information in my head was that she was Claire.

shiny blonde. A beautiful woman with cold blue eyes.

Also, Awakeners with overwhelmingly strong aura in the streets of light.

Besides that, even the fact that Claire is invited to be the supervisor of the annual Fight for the Ring hosted by Arena Academy.

Again –

The heel of the shoe made a sound as it hit the ground.

The blue-eyed beauty turned her head towards us. I caught my image in those clear eyes, and she turned and bowed toward me.

“My name is Claire bin Asen, who will be in charge of the guide. Please call me as you please.”

‘It’s too much for a guide.’

She is a woman who takes 10% of the academy’s budget with every move.

Unlike yesterday, she could feel the energy of other priests in the temple now.

‘It must be a service.’

It is certain that Vuar is given and received differently from other gods.

It seems that I was quite happy to be able to reflect myself in the game.

“I must have heard all the explanations from Vuir.”

“Yes. In addition to guidance, if you have any inconveniences or anything else you want, please feel free to tell us anything.”

“I will.”

There is no reason to refuse a favor offered.

He wouldn’t have cared if an halfway priest or paladin followed suit, but the woman in front of him was a woman with the skills and position to listen to anything.

“Then I will take you to the car.”

“I know how to drive.”

“Yes. Except for flights, I know how to handle most things.”

“Right.”

Clerbin Assen.

One more knowledge about her was added.

**

[Seoul – Zones 1-3 Restrictions]

A place that is strictly controlled for money-making and by-product supply for beginners who have just awakened or low-level awakeners.

In the first stage crack opened in the basement of an abandoned building there.

“Hmm~”

A neat-looking middle-aged man in a light purple suit is humming a song while looking through the papers on the desk.

『List of Attendees

– White Mane Guild

-Black Dog Guild

– Anima Guild

-Midas Combination』

An underground auction held once a year.

A middle-aged man who is the manager of one of the countless auction houses. Kim Duk-soo is the guild and mage tower that filled the seats this year as well. And he couldn’t hide his smile as he looked through the list of alchemists.

They are people who will soon compete with each other and spend money, so how can they not smile?

A building artificially remodeled and created in a crack.

On paper, it’s an ordinary first-level rift, but in reality, all the Awakeners in use are doubles whose names are only listed.

Worried about getting caught?

Public officials who are supposed to come out of the crackdown are already a gang, so why worry? Even if you get caught, no problem.

A brilliant crystal the size of a human head floating behind Deoksu Kim.

The culprit that maintains the terrain created in the rift and summons monsters.

If you break this, the rift will disappear shortly after. If that happens, what will happen to the Awakeners who remained inside?

I don’t know if it’s the consideration of the gods, but when the rift closes, those who remain inside randomly bounce off to various parts of the world.

There is no need to run away, so you can burn documents that need to be destroyed while the rift closes.

“hehehe, can I make money any easier than this?”

Just when I put the list of attendees in the drawer and tried to take out the documents of the exhibited items.

thud! thud! thud!

Someone knocked on the tightly closed door.

Kim Deok-soo wrinkled his face and replied, “Come in.”

“president!!”

“what. what the fuck Fuck.”

“I think you should come out… … ?”

“come out? who. I?”

“… … yes.”

Kim Duk-soo blinked his eyes for a moment at the behavior of his subordinate who nodded his head in a very blue state. Then, he poured magical energy into the glass that was placed on the desk and threw it away.

“Kuk!!”

In an instant, the subordinate whose forehead was torn hurriedly lowered his head.

“Shit. You have to explain what happened before I can make a judgment.”

“I’m sorry. I’m so embarrassed that… … .”

“Okay, what is it?”

The subordinate swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth, not even thinking to wipe the blood flowing from his forehead.

“I, Bo, I don’t know if it’s me… That, Claire bin Asen, has entered.”

“Claire? Claire, Claire… … no way. Is that Claire?”

The subordinate nodded frantically. Blood flowed from his forehead and splattered in all directions, but Kim Deok-soo did not pay any attention to it. no, i couldn’t

“Fuck. Is that Claire? Executor of that eccentric god?”

“It looks like… .”

“You should have stopped!!”

“… … Five of the heads of the kids who were trying to stop it have already been blown off.”

“Fuck!! So it’s real?!”

Where are the dogs that guard this place are normal dogs?

They are so talented that it is difficult to guarantee victory or defeat even if they stick with the masters of the small and medium guilds present here, who can break through the 8th level crack without difficulty.

To think that such people had five heads blown off.

“What did you come for? Fuck. When you tell them to do it on their own without receiving the money they gave you!! They say that getting money from other temples still hurts your stomach?”

“that is… … .”

When the subordinate hesitated and picked up something from the desk, Deoksu Kim quickly opened his mouth.

“I came to participate in the auction… … .”

“what?”

Kim Duk-su dug his own ears for a moment.

“uh. There was one king yes. Say it again.”

“I came to participate in the auction… … To be precise, I brought a man who seemed to be my companion, but he said he was an attendant… The atmosphere down there is a bit cheesy… … .”

“Fuck.”

Kim Duk-soo seriously thought about whether he should break the crystal.

‘no. No.’

Deoksu Kim got up from his seat.

“president?”

“let’s go. I’ve never invited you, but it’s polite to go to say hello if a bigwig like that comes in person. yes. I want to calm down the money line.”

He made a decision in a very short time.

The geek god’s enforcer really visited this place to participate in the auction.

If there was another reason, he would have been decapitated right away instead of talking to his subordinate.

An Awakener who is unofficially evaluated to be in the top 20 of the overall ranking.

Clerbin Assen.

That monstrous woman was a being with enough power to do so.

After leaving the office with his subordinate, Deoksu Kim headed towards the lounge with one step, almost running.

“Do you open it?”

“Whoa. great.”

I caught my breath, and the subordinate opened the door.

Seats placed at regular intervals under soft lighting and a stage at the end.

The eyes of the attendees seated in their seats turned to Kim Deok-soo.

Their facial expressions were not good at all. From the moment I opened the door, the atmosphere of the air changed.

Deoksu Kim was able to easily find the cause of all this.

A blonde woman in a black suit stood at the seat closest to the entrance.

gulp-

Kim Duk-soo’s eyes are female. I turned to the man sitting next to Claire.

The untidy dark-haired man, wearing glasses of a strange design, was quietly looking at the stage where the auction was to take place.

‘really… That Claire is an attendant?’

A woman standing next to a man as if to protect him. A man who sat there as if it were natural.

Kim Duk-soo quickly organized the situation in his head and put the thoughts he had organized into action.

Leaning at an angle that looked moderately polite without being too servile, she approached Claire and the unknown man. Then, clasping your hands under your stomach, bow your head respectfully.

“My name is Deoksu Kim, the manager of this place. Excuse me, but I would like to ask if you know that this is a space where only invited people can enter.”

short silence.

Kim Deok-soo calmed his heart, which was about to jump out of his mouth, and waited for an answer. with your head down.

“Know.”

A clear woman’s voice that seems to purify your ears just by listening to it.

‘Half succeeded.’

With just the fact that Claire responded, Deoksu Kim took the next step with a little more confidence.

Slightly lift your back, gaze down to the floor.

“I heard from the staff that you were visiting to attend an auction.”

“Yes.”

“I see. First of all, I want you to know that the words coming out of my mouth from now on do not mean to hurt the hearts of the VIPs. I’m just going to tell you how to deal with it as someone who is hired by an organization and sits in the position of manager here.”

‘great. The neck is still attached. And I don’t even feel alive.’

Kim Duk-soo continued to speak, smearing saliva on his dry lips.

“Originally, it is right to break the crystals forming the rift and dig this spot. First of all, it is true that the VIPs were not invited according to the rules. However, this lowly bastard has only vaguely heard rumors about the VIP’s skills—”

“therefore.”

‘… … !!’

Goosebumps ran through Kim Deok-soo’s body at the profound voice that pierced his ears.

“What do you mean?”

It was a question without much emotion. It must have been, but cold sweat began to seep out from Kim Deok-soo’s body.

‘Calm down, Kim Deok-soo. The auction is the goal, so I still have the upper hand.’

A man to the extent that Clerbin Asen would call himself an attendant.

“… … I want the honored guest over there to take off his glasses and show his face.”

“That’s fine.”

In response to the man’s question, Kim Deok-soo tensed his toes.

“Yes. Originally, you had to reveal both your name and identity… … There is a sure guarantor, so all you have to do is show your face. Then the auction will proceed without any problems.”

“I will.”

The man’s permission was denied, and Kim Deok-soo exhaled briefly and raised his head.

The man who was looking straight at the stage turns his head to look at himself. Then, he raises his large hand and grabs the bizarre-shaped glasses that cover half of his face.

The moment the ridiculous glasses with whirlwind patterns on a white background were held in the man’s hand and went down.

“Uwe eh !!”

Kim Deok-soo vomited and fell to the floor.

“Wow, wow!!”

Kim Duk-soo, who wriggles his body like a bug and regurgitates things in his stomach.

‘A monster, a real, a real monster… … .’

Golden eyes slightly revealed as the glasses went down.

The moment he faced it, Kim Deok-soo saw his body collapsing like mud.

that’s. It was a fear that could never be accepted by those who had lingering attachments to life.

‘Wake up, wake up… .’

Nausea and convulsions that do not stop.

It was the time when Kim Deok-soo struggled to get up from his seat to live.

“If you are offended, I will clean it up.”

“That would be nice.”

clean up

what?

That was Kim Deok-soo’s last thought.

**

The man who introduced himself as Kim Deok-soo turned to ash and disappeared along with the filth he vomited.

‘Did clean up mean that?’

It just meant to get rid of it in front of your eyes because it was annoying and dirty, but Claire removed the human being Kim Deok-soo from the world.

From the moment she entered the auction house, her hands were unstoppable, and she is a woman with a unique way of thinking.

I fidgeted with my repaired glasses and turned my gaze toward the stage.

‘I’ll have to be careful not to peel it at home just in case.’

Thinking about that, I told Claire.

“I hope the auction will start soon.”

“Yes. there. you.”

Claire called someone.

It was possible to see the surroundings from a third point of view through the spreading magic power, even if you didn’t have to look with your own eyes.

The man she called was a human who had followed Deok-soo Kim.

“I-you mean me?”

“From now on, you are the manager of this place.”

“Uh, huh?”

The nameless man trembled his eyes in confusion for a moment.

“… … We will proceed with the auction immediately.”

He straightened his stupid looking face, lowered his head, and quickly ran towards the stage.

The man disappeared backstage.

Not long after, the light from the lights that had been shining softly below gathered on the stage.

A young man appeared in front of him.

The man trembles slightly with the hand holding the microphone and smiles coolly.

“We will start the 13th auction.”

So the auction began.
