## Chapter 864 – Murder Instigation Kim Kat

And so, today was my first day on the job.

“Ugh.”

I woke up late in the morning, nestled between my wives’ breasts. Turns out, Cloudie and Liz were on either side of me today. What a vigorous start to the day.

The temperature was just right, so I carefully raised my upper body. Cloudie must have been awake, because she clung to me.

“Ugh… Kat… you’re going today?”
“Yeah. I won’t be late. I’ll be back soon. Sleep more.”
“Do well…”
“Yeah, yeah.”

I gently stroked Cloudie’s waiting ear and coaxed her back to sleep. Then, as I tried to remove Liz’s arm wrapped around mine to get out of bed, she also opened her eyes.

“Ah… it’s dark. You’re getting up earlier than usual today?”
“It’s my first day, so I need to go check things out. You sleep more too, sis.”
“Really… you’re so diligent…”

I’ll be back in the afternoon anyway.

“But a professor, that’s so amazing… Then I’ll see you in the afternoon, my love?”

With those words, Liz began to rub my firmly erect penis in a circular motion with her palm. Ah, I really can’t stand the sensation of my dick skin being rubbed like this.

“Hehehe, ah, you can’t just do this from the morning!”
“I was sleepy and wanted to act cute.”

Anyway, I stroked her face a bit and carefully got out of bed. Then I went straight down to the first floor and started getting ready. Showering, eating. And getting dressed. Since it’s my first day, I need to wear the proper gear.

After equipping the full set of combat priest gear, I put on a black cape that reached down to my waist. There are too many people who recognize me these days, so this hooded cape is essential.

It’s a bit hot with the hood on, but that much burden is nothing to my superhuman body. Finally, I packed the lecture materials, the Saintess’s official documents, and the cylindrical backpack containing the admission permit.

ㅡCreak.

I opened the door and went outside. Now, let’s go to that academy. I have a map, but even without it, it’s such a famous building that I should be able to find it easily.

ㅡTap tap tap tap.

The capital is really damn big, and it takes forever to get anywhere on foot, so I decided to jog lightly. But “lightly jogging” at my level is an unimaginable speed.

ㅡThump thump.

My heart pounded as I ran.

Me, a teacher.

It was the moment my childhood dream came true. Professor Kim Kat, it sounds so damn cool.

Heavenly Demon. Saint. Paladin. Bard. Barbarian. Dancer.

They’re all good titles, but professor is the most intellectual. It’s truly a title that suits this man, Kim Kat. Actually, I really do have a higher education than most of these guys. Elementary, middle, high school, military, and even university. These otherworlders can’t compare.

ㅡProfessor.

I feel like I’ve finally found my proper place. I am the intellectual Kim Kat. I’m originally the type to use my brain rather than do manual labor. Yes, that’s right.

ㅡI traversed the streets of the capital at a rapid pace.

Everywhere I go, there are tall and ornate buildings. And with the large waterway that runs through the capital, it’s quite a sight. Crossing bridges, climbing stairs, running along roads, and then turning into alleys again.

ㅡHow long had I been running like that?

“Oh.”

The main gate of the academy began to appear in the distance.

My first impression was just that. It felt like the entrance to a rich university with lots of support. The surrounding walls were high and stretched out to the left and right. Just looking at it, the size of the site is considerable.

Above all, there was a guard post at the main gate, and a man who appeared to be a guard was wearing light armor with a sword and watching the surroundings.

ㅡThud thud.

Some students in designated uniforms were going to school in front of it. Wow, it’s been years since I’ve seen something like this. Anyway, there weren’t that many students going to school. Is it because I came too early?

Or maybe it just feels that way because there’s a large dormitory on the site, so we’re only seeing the students who commute from outside.

“…”

Seeing the kids going to school in their uniforms made my chest swell for no reason. As expected, the capital is the capital. To think there’s a place of education like this.

Yeah, no matter how different this world is, it’s sad that kids have to live by holding swords and robbing or killing from a young age. Kids should go to school. I calmed my swelling chest and approached the main gate.

“Halt. What business do you have here?”

The guard came up to me and said.

Currently, I was wearing all black and had my hood up.
I couldn’t help but look like an armed robber.

“Greetings. I am Kim Kat, a paladin directly under the Saintess of the Brass Celestial Church. I am here to start working at the academy as an associate professor from today… Take a look at this.”

I immediately took out the necessary items from the cylindrical backpack and showed them to him. The guard who received it widened his eyes.

“Ah! Paladin-nim!! I enjoyed the match! This is amazing!! It was a really great match! Wow, and you’re coming as an associate professor! This is really surprising!”
“Hehehe, I’m honored that you recognize me. But could you please speak a little quieter?”
“Ah, excuse me.”

There was no problem entering at all. He expressed his surprise and delight at having seen my match, and since I had plenty of time anyway, I decided to chat with him for a while.

“Ah, I see. You’re coming in place of the priest… I see. The students will be very happy.”

If that’s the case, I couldn’t ask for more.

But I learned while talking that this guard belongs to the royal army.

“You belong to the royal army… Is that a separate organization from the royal knight order?”
“You can almost say so. The knight order exists for special purposes. In fact, just because there are knights doesn’t mean ordinary soldiers aren’t needed, right?”
“That’s a good point.”

It seems the royal army is directly guarding the Royal Academy.

But looking at this, it seems like a pretty cushy job.

“Hehehe, but isn’t this a pretty good position? I don’t think just anyone can do it.”
“Hehehe, you know it well. This is a key position. There’s not much to do, but surprisingly, the promotion points are great.”

I only talked to him briefly, but I could tell that he came from a good family. Being a guard in a place like this means he’s a decent talent. I chatted with the guard for a bit and then entered.

“Wow.”

It was damn wide.

It occupied a site that was incomparably wider than what I saw from the outside. It really felt like a huge place of education.

Fairly tall buildings were built in a fancy architectural style, and there were so many of them that it felt like a tourist attraction. As expected of the Royal Academy.

Are kids studying here?

Kids in the remote areas work or become criminals from a young age. It’s a real extreme comparison. Those guys will starve to death if they don’t do those two things. Anyway, the students attending the academy seem to be from their early to late teens, so they’re pretty much middle and high schoolers.

ㅡ…

I ignored the students who were glancing at me and entered the site.

“One! Two! One! Two! One! Two!”
“One! Two! One! Two! One! Two!”
“One! Two! One! Two! One! Two!”

When I went in, there was a large parade ground.

“Run faster! Do you understand!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”

Looking at it, a mixed-gender group was running lightly dressed in the parade ground.

But they have swords on their waists. I heard that there’s a department to enter the royal knight order, so seeing them doing physical training with swords from this early in the morning, I guess that’s the kind of department they’re in.

Or maybe they’re aiming to become royal army officers.
It could just be a sports club.

“…”

Seeing that kind of thing made the words “young blood” completely capture my spirit.

I used to be like that…

I looked at the signs and walked straight to the “Zeer Hall,” where the faculty room is located. There are so many buildings here, it’s damn confusing.

ㅡBoom!

“Damn it! I brought the wrong potion!”
“Damn it, my robe is all burned. Who brought this?”
“It was you!”
“Ah, that’s right… Well, we can just do it again. Hey, Schultzen. Go get this potion again.”
“Yes! I understand! Lord Malges!”

I heard an explosion from over there, and when I looked, a group of people wearing robes were casting some kind of magic. Are they wizards? It seems they do magic classes at the academy. I don’t know how they coordinate with the magic tower, but it’s not strange that there are kids with magical talent.

Looking at what they’re calling a potion, it seems they were doing an experiment.

ㅡHustle!

A boy in his mid-teens who had put down his staff ran somewhere.

“Hmm.”

Students with swords are doing physical training in the parade ground, and students with staffs are doing magic experiments in this quiet place.

It’s like a school of swords and magic.

I heard there’s a library too, I wonder what kind of books are there. It would be fun if there were some magic books sleeping there, but are there any ghost stories here?

“…Shit.”

I was walking while thinking about that, but I couldn’t find Zeer Hall.

The explanation here is so unfriendly.
It’s twisted on purpose so that only the students can find it.

Whoever made this must be a twisted bastard.

So I decided to grab a student who was walking around and ask for directions.

“Excuse me.”
“Yes, yes?!”

A surprised female student turned to me and sat down. What’s wrong? It’s weird to help her up, so I went straight to the point.

“Excuse me, can I ask you something? Do you know where Zeer Hall is?”
“I, I don’t know!!”
“No, wait!”

The screaming female student jumped up and ran away.

“Ah, shit.”

Could it be that I look too scary?
That can’t be?

This is a complete psycho!
To be surprised like this when seeing a person!

“Damn it!”

Anyway, let’s try to catch other students.

I was moving around targeting only students who were walking alone.

ㅡGrab.

“Who are you?”

A female student with long blue hair who appeared from somewhere said to me, putting her hand on the handle of the sword she was wearing on her waist.

“What?”
“You’re suspicious. You’re a stranger I’ve never seen before, lurking around and staring at students… I’ll subdue you if you don’t reveal your identity.”

I’m being treated like a suspicious person for the first time in my life.

“Ah, the student is mistaken. I’m here as an associate professor, but it’s my first time here today, so I was lost.”
“Associate professor?”

I immediately took out my temporary associate professor certificate from my pocket and showed it to her.

“Brass Celestial Church… Paladin? Huh? Huh? Wait a minute! Are you…?!”

She seems to know me.
Then the story is quick.

“You’re that paladin from the martial arts tournament. I’m lost right now, but if you know where Zeer Hall is, I’d appreciate it if you could tell me.”

I immediately took off my hood and spoke, and the surprised female student widened her eyes and answered.

“Ah, ah… there, go in there… It’s the building in the back…”
“Is that so? Thank you.”

I thanked her and headed straight there. I ran quickly and, sure enough, a fancy building with “Zeer Hall” written on the entrance appeared. When I went inside, there was a sign on the first floor hall.

The faculty room is right next to this.

I boldly entered the faculty room.

ㅡ…

The faculty room was quiet. It was still early, so only one person had come to work.

“Hmm?”

The only faculty member looked at me as I came in and tilted his head.

I approached him and said.

“Greetings. I’m Kim Kat, who came to work as a temporary professor today. I was told to get certified by the principal. Do you know where he is?”
“Ah… temporary professor?”

The man with a tired expression reacted.

“That’s right.”
“The principal is not here right now…”

No, shit, he’s not here?
What should I do?

“Then is there someone similar to the principal?”
“Where would someone similar to the principal be… Ah. The chairman of the board is here today, so if you go there… it might work.”

Chairman of the board?

This isn’t Jungle High, but the chairman of the board comes to school.

“Oh, thank you. Where is the chairman’s office?”
“The top floor…”
“Thank you.”

I thanked the faculty member and immediately left the faculty room and headed to the top floor. The building has eight floors, but there’s no elevator.

ㅡThud thud.

I immediately climbed the spiral staircase. This staircase is so amazing. Even the walls are made of stained glass, so it’s so fancy.

I reached the top floor.

The chairman’s office seems to be using the entire eighth floor.
Because there was only one door.

ㅡKnock knock knock.

As soon as I knocked on the door, a faint female voice was heard from inside.

ㅡCome in.

Judging from the voice, the chairman of the board seemed to be a young woman. Anyway, I immediately opened the door and went inside. As expected, it was a large room and quite well-formed. Overall, it was a luxurious room.

At the end of it, there was a luxurious desk, and a platinum-blonde woman was sitting there.

Platinum blonde hair?

ㅡSwish.

As she raised her head, we made eye contact.

“Oh my… you are.”

The person sitting there was the princess I had seen once at the martial arts tournament awards ceremony.

Ah.

It’s royal.
If the chairman of the board of that Royal Academy is…

It must be royalty.

“Ugh.”

Kim Kat’s back sweat.

ON.
