The Academy’s Genius Magic Swordsman

“Something seems to be wrong, Professor.”

Grade correction period for midterm exams.

These were the first words Stella said to Wolfin Dimesel, the professor in charge of the subject, after checking the midterm exam grades she had been notified of.

Stella was basically the type to not complain about the grades given to her.

It was good to say that this was the first time that Stella Arwen had happened after entering the academy.

First of all, the biggest reason was that I had gotten close to perfect grades in almost all subjects, so there was no need to protest until now.

Even if there were times when I received a grade that was not perfect, most of the cases were fully understood by referring to the model answers that were published.

Regarding the results of the midterm exam for this ‘History of Swordsmanship’, even Stella received an evaluation that she could not easily understand.

Only 8 points out of 50.

No matter how much Stella respected the professor’s grading standards, she couldn’t directly accept the grades given by these ridiculous standards.

I don’t know if I hadn’t been able to write an answer because I didn’t study.

The history of swordsmanship was one of the easiest subjects she had taken this semester, and it was one of the subjects she wrote without hindrance when writing her answer.

As for the grade that was less than 20% of the perfect score, I could only think that there must have been an accident.

“What’s wrong, Stella Arwen?”

“There’s no way my grades would come out this low.”

“That means that there is something wrong with the grading that I, the swordsmanship department professor, has given?”

Professor Wolfin lowered his eyes low and spat out a bit of murder at her.

As a werewolf, his own life style was more intimidating than that of most humans.

Most of the students couldn’t bring out even the slightest complaint against Professor Wolfein just by killing himself.

“Are you asking if your grades are wrong because I have a problem?”

“… … .”

Any student would have to apologize and run away just for this life.

If it was an ordinary student, it would have been natural for him not to be able to bring out any complaints, even if it was an unfair treatment that was judged by his superiors and subordinates.

“Yes, Professor Wolfin.”

It was a story that did not apply at all to Stella Arwen, the daughter of the count who always carried out justice.

For Stella, who had been receiving private lessons from Professor McDowell even before entering the academy, living like this was a level of sense that she could endure.

Also, there was a special reason that I had kept in my heart since last year, that I could never give up the top spot to Stella of this semester.

Not at all embarrassed by Professor Wolfin’s spitting out on herself, Stella silently voiced her opinion.

Even if he failed in just one of the six subjects he took, he would have a lot of trouble getting the top spot in the swordsmanship department.

Besides, if I missed this opportunity, I was going to receive an inevitable grade penalty again from the third year.

Stella wasn’t going to waste her few chances to rise to the top of her class.

“You’re a bold guy.”

Professor Wolf’s life grew thicker, but Stella still met his eyes without flinching at all.

Above all, she had nothing to be ashamed of herself, so she could confidently face the academy’s professors.

“Show me my test paper. We need to check the scoring criteria.”

Even then, Stella thought that the reason for her poor grades was a simple scoring mistake or an accident.

He believes that if he compares the answer sheet he submitted with the model answer and scores it again, the wrong grade will come back.

“does not exist.”

Until the nonchalant words from Professor Wolfein reached her ears.

“Yeah?”

“I’m not the type to collect test papers from students who have finished grading. It’s annoying when students like you come to me and ask me to revise my grades.”

“What nonsense is that? Isn’t it a student’s right to correct wrong grades in a reasonable way!”

“Correcting a wrong grade is a right, but asking for a grade to be raised that has already been properly graded is nothing more than a complaint.”

“Not graded properly! Clearly something is wrong… .”

“Don’t go back and forth on student subjects. Do you really want to get a zero on the final exam?”

“… … Yeah?”

It was a word that implied that there was infidelity in her sexuality.

Hearing the unexpected question, Stella was speechless for a moment and was taken aback.

“I have my own correct criteria for my test scores. It’s not a standard that changes just because one student argues, but a firm standard that I judge as correct.”

“… … .”

“If you understand, go back. If you protest more than this, you will get a real zero score on the final exam. By any chance, if you ever fail a class, Professor McDowell’s face will be worth seeing.”

Stella walked out of the professor’s office at Professor Wolfin’s words, which were tantamount to threats.

If, as he said, he was to fail the class, it would have ruined the reputation of her adoptive father and teacher, Professor McDowell Arwen.

Stella couldn’t bet an irreducible stake on an argument with a slim chance of winning, so Stella swallowed her anger at the unfair treatment she had been given.

It was the moment when she, who thought she would be okay as long as she lived her life upright, faced her limits for the first time.

* * *

After hearing all of Stella’s story, one word naturally came out of my mouth.

“It’s negative.”

It was a moment when, judging from the circumstances and from what Stella said, it became natural that the professor, who was obviously Wolf, had caused the injustice.

In response to him, I also naturally criticized him for coming out of my mouth.

“Perhaps.”

Stella only spat out a timid expression of agreement as if she was calm in response to my reaction.

“Now is not the time to be so relaxed. I have to go to the department office and protest.”

Professor Wolf was not the only one to be caught.

First of all, the threatening remarks against Stella asking if she wanted to get 0 points in the final exam was an obvious disciplinary measure that openly mentioned cheating as an academy professor.

Destroying the test papers when the grade correction period has not yet ended is, of course, against the academy’s rules.

Above all, since he mentioned the same professor, Professor McDowell, he must have been severely punished in all respects.

The Academy’s department office is not a group of idiots.

The academy department office was not incompetent enough to fail to catch this blatant injustice.

In the first place, the body of the academy was a key institution for nurturing national manpower.

Unless you know about cheating at all, once you figured out the causal relationship, the speed of rectification was faster than that of many institutions.

In fact, it took less than two days to cover up the human trafficking case committed by Professor Hemes without a trace.

“First, let’s report it to the department office. If you have a good attitude in class, the department office will take it seriously. Of course, I will stand by and help you testify, Stella.”

That’s why while trying to move to get Stella’s deprived head position back.

She grabbed my sleeve and shook her head in denial.

“no. Please don’t do that, Senior Conrad.”

“… What?”

“I really appreciate your thoughts on me, but I don’t want to escalate this incident.”

It was unbelievable that the words came out of Stella’s mouth, who did not tolerate injustice.

“You don’t want to grow big, what do you mean?”

“If I go after Professor Wolfein for this infidelity, it will undoubtedly spark a spark in my teacher, Professor McDowell.

Even though I’ve been doing it because I wanted to, didn’t Professor McDowell intentionally give me the lowest score?

If Professor Wolfin’s infidelity leads to an investigation into the swordsmanship professors, my teacher may also be embroiled in unwanted controversies.”

The story was convincing enough.

In the current state, if Professor Wolfin’s infidelity was submitted to the academy, the academy would start investigating the corruption in the swordsmanship department.

Since there is not enough justification to investigate only one professor, who is Wolf, all professors of the swordsmanship department will be the target in the end.

Among those professors, of course, Stella’s adoptive father, Professor McDowell Arwen, was also included.

Of course, Professor McDowell’s grades, which were agreed upon with Stella, and Wolf In’s grades, which were unilaterally denied, were different in nature in many respects.

It would take time again to prove that, and there was the possibility that Professor McDowell would temporarily be cubed with Professor Wolfe.

To students from other departments who didn’t know the truth, it might seem as if both of them were discriminating against Stella.

If he did something wrong, he might even be accused of intentionally discriminating against his adopted daughter in the Arwen family.

Even if things go well and the dishonor used on Professor McDowell is removed, it will be difficult to completely restore the image that was damaged due to gossip.

Stella was also concerned about that part, so she blindly gave up stabbing Professor Wolfin’s infidelity.

In any case, it was far better for one person to take the loss than causing trouble to Master and the Arwen family.

“I know very well how much Conrad cares for me.

However, it is more important that I do not burden my father who has raised me up to this point than that I do not have the top grade in my department due to my bad grades.

So, I really appreciate your advice, but I will politely decline this time. I’m really sorry, Senior Conrad.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t know her heart.

She was fully aware that Stella had her personal circumstances, and that Stella’s current family was important to her.

Stella giving up without even trying in this way felt a little different to me who knew her in the future.

Because, in her previous life, she was a warrior of hope.

As soon as Stella graduated from the academy, she had to be recognized as a warrior of hope and become a symbolic figure who never gave up to save all mankind.

However, if it had already become a habit to kneel to such a small power, the righteous female warrior I knew might not appear in the future.

Of course, such a future was not to come.

Stella had to become a hero no matter what.

Having already seen the future, I’ve never seen anyone more worthy of being a hero than she was.

“stellar.”

“Yeah?”

“I will never do anything to harm your master and family.

Professor McDowell and Count Arwen will not go up and down the cubic floor, and I will bring down the Wolf Professor who has done infidelity to you.”

“… … .”

“So, trust me.

Because I will give you back the top grade position that you foolishly took away.”

Her eyes, which shook as if hesitating, met mine precisely.

Even now, I have already proven my trust in Stella several times.

Now it was her turn to trust me.

Stella, who was vaguely conflicted, nodded quietly up and down.

“All right. The grace that Senior Conrad has bestowed upon me cannot be measured, so I must repay Senior Conrad with unrequited trust.”

“Thank you, Stella.”

“But this is my job to the end, so I can’t just leave it to senior Conrad.”

Having said that, Stella declared to me with a voice full of determination, where did the miserable self from just now go?

“I will also join. Please do anything!”

Now I feel a bit like Stella, showing good eyes together.
