Chapter 80 – Entering Prunar Academy

A few hours before I stood in the auditorium of the Fryunar Academy.

“Currently here. Only the auditorium is available.”
“Is that so.”

I look around while answering the explanations of the friendly staff.
This place, located in the center of the wide Prunar Academy grounds, was truly sacred.

Carved stones were floating around, and the number of stones increased as you went to a certain point.
And where there were the most stones, there was an intense pillar of light.

The pillar of light reached the sky and sprinkled crystals of light, and it seemed as if snow was falling.
A huge monument was erected beneath it.
Even from a place tens of meters away, I could feel the trembling energy.

“What is that?”
“Ah. This is a monument honoring the achievements of the alumni of this school.”

It’s an achievement
The atmosphere is like a tombstone.

Haha. Doesn’t it feel a bit dreary?”

The staff seemed to know that and smiled awkwardly.

“But I understand. They say that this pillar of light was emitted when God personally punished the ‘true demon king’ in the past.”
“A true demon king?”

Came out again true devil.
Seeing that he keeps being mentioned like this, it seems that he is a special being.
There are similar words in my memory.

I saw it in the setting book, but I’m confused whether it’s a demon or a real demon king.
If you ask me how I don’t remember that, I can honestly say that I didn’t pay much attention to the devil because he was a boss in any game.
Actually, to be honest, it was just because I was so damn sleepy.
When I was about to ask what the real demon king was, the staff member said.

“I think I know why the monument was erected at the place where this myth started. It must be that the students who made achievements want to receive God’s grace from God’s pillar of light. Ah… The principal is so religious…”
“?”

My eyes are shining because I can’t shine.
Something’s wrong.

If you look closely, the outfit is close to that of a priest.
I only saw wizards, so I thought it was a magic mountain. Is this guy a priest?

How would you react if you asked a priest about the Demon King?
Shall I call it blasphemy? Or should I denounce the devil?
Either way, I’m sure it sucks.
Let’s ask Ashitana Gold later, not this person.

I am alone now
It was only natural that Gold and Asita had to prepare for the start of school.
Lefelt also went to escort Gold today.

The academy’s position was easy.
After getting my identity verified at the school gate, I just walked forward.

It was quite a distance from the school gate to this place, but it seemed perfect for running.
But do students usually use it when commuting to school?
The guys in the combat department feel like they’re in an athletic club, so I think the other students will have a really hard time.

Well, it is an academy that is said to have gathered only the best people or the best talent, but it must be full of stamina monsters.

One regrettable thing is that I couldn’t use the transparent orbital elevator that connects the floating island and the academy that Gold said to come here.

As a special exception this time, I connected the streets of the warp gate and the floating island, and I rode it.
It’s a pity, but I can ride it anytime later.

Anyway, it’s a strange feeling.
I was deeply moved to come to a place I had heard so painfully, but a place is also a place.

Giant tree.
The tree was so huge that even when looking up from the ground under the floating island, one’s jaw dropped open.
I’m on top of it now.
The sky above the sky that exists even higher than floating islands.
The reason why the academy was built on a giant tree must also have the meaning of emphasizing that it is a being on a different level from others.

Originally noble people want to look different one by one.
The source is the game.

When I actually came up, I didn’t feel like a tree at all.
It was just like the ground on earth.
I thought it might be a world tree that often appears in settings because it’s this huge, but it’s not.

However, the staff was proud of it, saying that it is a sacred existence comparable to that.
Just let me know

Still, I couldn’t express my dissatisfaction because I was the person assigned by the school, which was getting into trouble for me.
While I was looking at the pillar of light without saying anything, an employee started talking to me.

“Dre-sama. Would you like to go see your colleagues?”
“Well.”

Colleague.
I’m guessing you’re talking about instructors.

These are people I should meet in the future anyway, but I don’t want to meet them now.
It is rat poison to meet someone, greet them, and ask them to take care of you in the future.

Anyway, today was the opening ceremony only.
Although the school has been restored, it has to go through some adjustments, so formal classes will not start until a month later.
So there is no need to look now.

Haha. Wouldn’t it be nice to learn faces and exchange knowledge?”
“Is it an exchange?”

I answered without a soul, but the priest said actively.

“Yes. They also have many things they want to hear from Dre-sama.”
“…”

This person. In fact, from a while ago, I was encouraged to meet with the instructors.
Have you been bought by someone?

For the future, it would be good to meet now.
But now, even in the fantasy world, I wanted to explore this place that is even more bizarre.

“Wouldn’t it be all right if we met after the opening ceremony?”
“There he…”

It’s obviously troublesome.
Is there any reason someone needs to see me right now?
But whatever it was, I didn’t like the fact that he didn’t come and ordered someone else to do it.

“I’ll go around alone for a while. See you later.”
“Huh? Yes? That’s…”
“I told you not to step on the branch of the giant tree. I will definitely keep it.”

Before he could react, he walked forward.
It seems to be chasing after it, so it emits Ryunar and presses it, so it stands tall.

Good. I’ll calm you down a bit with this.
I think I can see the corrections at ease now.

In fact, even in the middle of the auditorium, you could see the whole view of the Fryunard Academy.
The buildings visible to the naked eye in the distance must be the campus, right?

I want to look down from somewhere high…

I looked around and saw a tall hill.
I was able to get to the top in no time by climbing the slope without going through the road.
And the campus I looked down on was wonderful.

“Oh oh…”

The building was full of things that looked like shiny scaffolding.
Is that crystal ice? Magic? Or is it a metal I don’t know about?
How would you feel if you were walking on it?

However, it’s a little more disappointing than I thought.
I heard that it was so amazing that it made my ears tick, so I expected a tremendous scale that easily surpasses my imagination.

Of course, it didn’t exceed my imagination, but it became as much as I imagined.
It is bigger than the campus of the prestigious university I went to with my dad in the past.
I heard that the number of students is not very large, so this is not enough, so it must be overflowing.

Anyway, is that the place I will go to in the future?
Going to school for the second time…

…

‘Please! Please forgive me!’
‘You’re an idiot, you son of a bitch!’
‘Help me! Save me!’

‘You are trash. Eight days.’

Since school, only bad memories come to mind.
Also, the place of learning is not suitable for me.

“Who are you?”
“…”

What.

A man is lying in the bush.
The problem is, I couldn’t read the signs again.
These days, this kind of thing happens quite often, so I feel the need for a spec upgrade.

Still, in the case of the person who is speaking now, it is barely detectable.
Ryunar’s ability to use it must be lower than that of a hero or a witch.

“Ahhh. Ilmaya, if someone asks, you have to answer.”
“Hello. I became a new instructor this time…”
“Huh? Are you Dre?”

The man who had suddenly become a standard language in dialect jumped to his feet.
I was confused whether it was a man or a woman because of the low-pitched voice, but looking at the face, it was clear that he looked like a man.

“I see. Were you looking at the school?”
“Yes. I am, but… You can speak comfortably.”
“Huh? What?”
“If you are comfortable with the dialect, you can speak in the dialect.”
“Ah, I can’t speak dialect. That’s the concept.”
“?”

What is this new kid doing again?

“But didn’t you say you were a swordsman instructor?”
“I heard you’re a swordsmanship instructor.”
“No, it’s not about swordsmanship, what’s up. Anyway, then you won’t go there much… It’s not like it’s because you’re a student. Hey, it’s unusual, it’s unusual~”

A man with a big smile. But I was concerned about the words before that.

“You don’t have much to go there? Isn’t that the campus?”
“That’s right, that’s right, isn’t that the production department?”
“Produce…?”
“Wow. Did you come here without knowing any of this?”

Another dialect.
But after that, I didn’t care about that at all.

“That area is popular with production department students.”
“Production? Zone?”
“Ankana brings geniuses from all over the world, not from the country. I can’t even say that I have one campus to teach all of them satisfactorily.”
“…So, are you saying that there are other districts? On the same scale?”
“Gorum. You can’t see it here, but there are three more. The magic department area that teaches magic and magic, next to it is a small area for priests kids, and a warrior area that you will teach. Ah, the warrior area is what I call it, and the official name is the combat department. So, call it yourself.”

…
And fuck.
The scale is beyond imagination.
The place that can be seen with the naked eye now is also a fucking large scale, but there are three more sites like that?
Then what the hell is the main school doing?

“Isn’t there a separate main school?”
“Isn’t there a place? That’s where our instructors work.”
“…”
“I can’t go today. They say they’re in the process of taking care of it.”
“Remedy?”
“To be precise, they told me not to go in except for the meeting room.”

No, what are you talking about?
I had no choice but to ask directly.

“What kind of arrangement?”
“Eh. The vice-principal brought something strange, and the whole campus went sour. Anyway, that old man…”

It’s weird
That would be the story of Frostia.
I can still feel his energy everywhere.
Dragon, what are you here for?

There was a provision that if someone harmed them, they could fight back, so they probably didn’t come by force.
So, did you mean to follow the vice-principal?
…Couldn’t you have come to tell me to do it?

“I wondered what kind of formula they would use the whole school for… High, and seeing that they didn’t get fired, it’s the evil.”
“Looks like the restoration is complete now.”
“I don’t know. The restoration will take several months, Carderman… The white mage master. No matter what he did, the restoration progresses smoothly. Hmm… The dialect is quite difficult.”
“Please feel free to speak.”
“Yes, I will.”

After that, it was more of a complaint.
I heard it with one ear and let it out with the other, because it was such a story about the man’s name being a strange name called Yaple Yellow and what annoyed him except for the information that he was a martial artist.

By the way, it’s very spacious. Prunar Academy.
Bit of a disappointment. Before, I was a conceited idiot.
The phrase “Frog in the well” Is used in this situation.
It is a scale beyond imagination, so admiration comes out.

I don’t have time right now, so I’ll take a look at the other campuses at a leisurely pace next time.

Of course, it’s not just about exploring.
It was said that experience points would rise just by witnessing noble beings, so it was also necessary to understand the geography and raise the level.

But didn’t you climb it the last time I met the queen?
What is the standard

“That’s why the class is so hard. But are you listening to me?”
“Yes. I’m worried too.”

I didn’t hear anything, but I understood the context with the words now.
Classes are hard… Which means the kids don’t listen.
If teachers are having a hard time, that’s usually the case.

“I’m not a teacher by nature, but I’m dying every time I try to think about the content of the class. Instructors are like this, but I don’t even want to think about general teachers. Ugh.”
“…”

That’s right. Class content.
I’ve been trying to forget until now, but I have to teach the kids as an instructor.
What to teach

Basically, a slicing sword or a space sword. My technique is that only I can use it, and the training method reproduces the senses I learned in the previous game.
To others, it’s just bullshit.

‘An incomprehensible sense.’

If you focus, you can feel, hold, and use all kinds of things that you couldn’t see before.
A privilege that only I have, that no one else has.
Thanks to this skill, I was able to use several skills.
However, this sense cannot be taught.

However, if I teach only basic swordsmanship, I feel like there will be dissatisfaction…
Besides that, I have to do the test content and scoring, right?

Commencement.
Are you all of a sudden annoying?
Did you accept the instructor’s qualifications for nothing?

“Still, the students listen well, so that’s good.”
“Is that so.”

It must have been my prejudice to not listen.

“Okay. Other schools are busy paying attention to the nobility, but this place is based on merit, so it doesn’t really matter if you’re an aristocrat or a commoner and you’re not really ignorantly noble. And if the students don’t apply for lectures, there’s not much work.”
“Support?”
“Don’t you know that? Unlike professors, instructors only have to manage the students who apply to them.”
“Hoo…”

That’s good information.
If you intentionally ruin my reputation and keep the kids from coming, then my worries will be solved, right?

“But we can’t have fewer children come because the academy will sanction them if they deliberately show below-level skills, so don’t think outlandishly.
“Is that so.”

After all, there is no way that a world-class school would not have prepared such a trick.
But did you say they were professors earlier?
I’ve heard that lecturers and professors are different, but what exactly do professors do?

“The kids begged me to teach them so cutely, so why don’t they teach me… Well, before that, our noses are sleeping.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t know if I should say you’re very lucky or bad. There is an instructor’s skills verification test every few years, and that was just this year.”
“Is that so.”

If it’s a proficiency test, what exactly do you need to do?
As if he had read my eyes, Yapleno added that the contents are different every year.

“This exam is a bit special. It’s because it’s the first time in 10 years that the eccentric instructor Gluth didn’t show it even when he begged, and the stubborn Blut kept it all together and never showed it. It’s a tough task for instructors too.”

What is it?
Geniuses among geniuses who teach unsalted geniuses. Instructors.
What is so difficult to deal with in this world?
Yapleno immediately answered.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a dragon corpse.”
“…Dragon?”
“Eh. It’s not just a dragon, it’s the corpse of an adult dragon. The subject of this test is how much meaningful change can be made to it.”

Cause changes to the corpse of an adult dragon? Damage or whatever?
…Isn’t that fucking easy?

Reminds me of Frostia.
It was damn strong and tough, but it was cut because it was cut with a slicing knife.
Do I have to give out the whole powder?

“I wonder if the exam was a month or a week later. There and there, but ha. I’m so annoyed.”

Isn’t there a big difference between a month and a week?
I thought so, but I asked without expressing it.

“Why are you annoying?”
“Why is that? I have to say hello in front of over a thousand kids, but this year, I’m having a hard time figuring out what to say.”

Ah. You should also think of greetings.
I made other preparations, but forgot the most important thing.

Oh, I don’t know.
It was then.
The quest alarm sounded.

Tring!
