I Reincarnated as a Teacher of the Heroine

Episode 55 – End of the Genius Wizard

Sieg and Mediah’s mansion.

Werner laid Airi down in the cradle and let out a short moan. As soon as I came out of the ant nest, Lorsha, who was secretly waiting outside, gave me first aid with a bandage, so it’s a shame. Otherwise, my life would have been in real danger. The magic sword that had stabbed him first asked Lorlia to investigate, and thinking that if there was something wrong, it would be enough to receive treatment, Werner brushed Airi’s hair, who was laughing.

“Mom and Dad are coming soon, so wait a little bit.”

His side had been insanely hot from earlier, but Werner was struggling to hold it in. When Zeke and Mediah noona came, they would talk about how and how they found the clue, where they went with the clue, how they fought, and even the story of getting stabbed, so they would be praised. After all, he will praise our youngest, saying he did a great job, worry about the area where he was hit with a knife, and criticize him for not telling him to be careful.

Werner, who had been laughing at the thought of it, grabbed his side and slightly frowned. I’ve been stabbed quite a few times, but it was the first time I felt so bitter and sore. Werner swallowed as he felt the blood boil throughout his body.

Thinking that Mediah’s older sister would come and ask for treatment, Werner tried to fix his expression as he saw Airi smiling at him.

“Tsk, someone even got stabbed because you cried, but you’re laughing so well. Is it that much fun, you guy?”

Wondering what it was like to joke with a baby who was still barely babbling, Werner turned his gaze toward the door and started waiting for Zeke and Mediah. Since the news had arrived, I started to adjust my clothes, thinking that it would come soon. The clothes I was wearing were completely tattered, so I asked Lorsha to come and put on new clothes.

Eventually, the door opened, and Zeke and Mediah came in with excited faces. Werner greeted them with a happy face.

“Brothers and sisters, I…”

However, Zeke and Mediah passed Werner and ran to Airi.

“Baby!”

Medea grabbed Airi and started to cry. The worries and sorrows she had been suppressing while the child was gone had burst forth. He started looking to see if he was hurt, and he was even talking about his worries to a child who couldn’t understand the language.

“Baby… my baby… You’re not hurt anywhere? Do you know how worried Mama was…? Where the hell have you been…?”

Even that Zeke was looking at Airi’s condition without even paying attention to himself.

It was only then that Werner remembered the meaning of family. A family is a group of people related by blood. No matter how close they were, he was never a real ‘family’, just a child like Zeke and Mediah’s younger brother.

Yes, it is only natural that the child is more worried than the strong wizard himself. Yes, Airi is still a child. Yes, since he is the strongest archmage, he must not worry about me because he clearly believes in my abilities. Yes, it is only natural to take care of the family you have not seen for such a long time. Yes, there have been many people who have been targeting Airi for a while, so I’m sure I’m naturally worried like that. Yes, because Medea is a kind and kind older sister…

He desperately tried to defuse the situation with excuses, but Werner’s memories of his childhood as an orphan pointed to a grim answer.

‘I’m not from anyone’s family, Airi is Zeke’s brother and Mediah’s sister’s real daughter.’

‘Yes, it’s only natural that you worry more about your own children than about orphans like me. After all, I’m just a kid like a younger brother, not a real family member.’

‘After all, I’m just an outsider in this house.’

Werner turned and left the room. I didn’t want to show my ugly face now. I didn’t want to reveal the ugly fact that I was jealous of my own daughter for being an outsider. I thought that was the best way to leave a ‘family-like’ relationship.

Even though she heard the door closing, Mediah was still checking Airi’s condition. However, Zeke, whose attention was drawn to the sound, hurriedly ran out of the room after checking the blood stains on the floor.

“Werner.”

Werner did not turn his back.

“Hyung, what’s wrong? Go and check Airi’s condition first. I’m a wizard, so I’m not an expert in checking on the body… Besides, I want my family to be together on a day like this.”

Werner never tried to show his face.

“Werner isn’t hurt, right? Bloodstains on the floor…”

“Oh, it’s okay, I just had a little nosebleed because I was tired. My face is messed up from the nosebleed right now hahahaha…”

“Come here. If you’re hurt, you’ll have to show it to Mediah.”

Zeke grabbed Werner’s shoulder. But before long, I couldn’t let go of my hand, because my younger brother’s shoulders were shaking.

“Hyung, I’m really fine. I should spend a day like today with my sister and Airi…”

“…Werner.”

“I’m hungry, but I’ll go as soon as my other brothers and sisters are there. Apparently, we’ve rented the tavern where we always hang out for the whole day.”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

“I’m sorry, then I’m leaving.”

Werner began to forcefully move his legs, which had become as heavy as wet cotton.

“Goodbye, brother.”

He hurriedly ran out of the mansion, covering his face with the sleeves of his robe, which he did not want the other attendants to see. I rolled and fell on the stairs because of the obstructed view, but my body didn’t hurt at all.

It was Werner’s close friend, Lorsha, who greeted Werner outside the mansion.

Lorsha looked slightly surprised at Werner’s face. Recently, that Werner continued to show expressions that seemed unlikely to be built.

“Werner, are you… are you crying…?”

“Shut up, don’t cry.”

“Just looking at it, it’s obvious that she’s crying! Someone rang! I’ll fucking just kill her!”

“If you attack, you’ll be cut to pieces in one second, you idiot…”

Lorsha bit her teeth and hugged Werner.

“Don’t be surprised, listen…”

“What are you holding on to…”

“You’re just retiring as an archmage.”

Lorsha spits out the words to retire to the supernova that has just begun to shine. Surprised by the sudden invitation to retire, Werner’s pupils shook.

“What bullshit is that…”

“I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life, so just hit them all. I’ll…”

“What bullshit is that!”

Lorsha analyzed the demonic sword that had stabbed Werner, and could easily find traces of it in books about demonic swords. After explaining the effects of the sword and Werner’s condition, Lorsha hugged Werner even more tightly.

There is a magic circuit in the wizard’s body to activate magic. The magic works only when there is nothing wrong with the circuitry that works like a sophisticated machine. However, the magic sword Barisada completely destroyed Werner’s magic circuit. When hit by a machine, it completely destroyed the circuit that acts as a coolant, so it was tantamount to a death sentence for a wizard. Of course, since Werner is a great wizard, he should be able to use simple magic.

However, he had to tell them that the splendid magic that Werner was proud of now… had to be given up.

“So, you too, get rid of the great magician and whatever, and stand next to me…”

“Shut up… Why? Do you feel good? Why don’t you dance around because you’re in such a bad mood? Do you think I’ll be your subordinate?”

“It’s not like that now!”

“Shut up! You have a strong family even if you don’t use magic! I… I…! I’m nothing without it!”

Werner pushed Lorsha away roughly. I wanted to believe that what Lorsha said was a lie unconditionally. He wanted to believe that the girl in front of him lied because he was jealous of him.

“Get out of my sight!”

Lorsha was silent for a moment, then turned her back.

“If things get bad, come to me. I know that side well.”

“Go away…”

“… bad guy.”

Lorsha left Werner behind and started running. Just like Werner a moment ago.

—–

Werner felt guilty. Lorsha must have misunderstood, but she was just worried about her condition… I decided to go and buy a present tomorrow and apologize.

Then, in front of his eyes, he showed great magic and tried to tease you that you were wrong and that you were a quack.

‘Look, if I use great magic like this, it’s enough.’

“Dragon of the wind that swims among the clouds, take me and cruise leisurely…”

Werner tried to ride the dragon-shaped wind to the tavern where his older brothers and sisters were. However, the wind did not blow, and only the burning pain as if my heart was being torn came over my body.

His nose was bleeding profusely, and Werner didn’t give up and tried to recite the spell again. But this time, the result was the same.

Werner headed to the tavern where he was supposed to gather, leading his body as if he was about to die.

The tavern door opened, and Werner’s older brothers and sisters tried to welcome Werner as soon as the short boy entered.

“You’re late. It’s obviously a virtue that I must keep my promise of time at all times and places…”

“I heard, maknae, you saved the leader’s daughter? I saw this again…”

“Maknae, your sister ordered goose meat that you like..＞”

What the heroes saw was Werner, who had red blood vessels all over his body.

The phantom thief Squaa ran out first and grabbed Werner’s body as he was about to fall.

“Maknae! Why are you doing this! What kind of bastard did this!”

Werner hid his crying face with Skua’s arms, but everyone could see. Werner, who had only a smiling face or an annoyed face, was crying right now.

“Sister… I’m so sick…”

No matter how great a wizard he was, Werner was only a child of about 14 after all. A child who wants to be praised, wants to be worried about, and cries when he is sick.

While one child was soundly asleep in the arms of their parents, the other was weeping bitterly.
