Chapter 499 – Leisure Not Given (2)

To conclude, the deacon’s concerns were correct.

-Krrrr!

“Aaaaah!”
“D-It’s a dragon! “The dragon has attacked again!”
“Hey! “This time, we’re all going to die!”

It wasn’t a peer, it was just crying loudly, but the people in the territory were scared and shivering.

The reactions are really great. Still, whatever. This was expected up to this point.

The reason the territory residents were so scared in the first place was probably because not many people had seen my dragon form.

In the early and middle stages of the battle, you only saw Ajidahaka fussing, and he was confined to the underground bunker in the lord’s residence that was given away in lieu of a shelter.

Except for the people who didn’t listen and hid in their houses, they didn’t know my dragon form, so of course they could only assume it was another attack.

However, the dragon they saw was not only Ajidahaka.

Huuuuung-

Colorful hatchlings lined up behind me with the sound of the heavy wind. It’s small, less than half the size of my body, but it looks pretty cool, considering it’s a dragon.

… Of course, this is true from a human perspective.

As I became a dragon, I accepted Fafnir’s memories more deeply, and perhaps because of that, I could see more clearly the characteristics of my own people that I had vaguely felt before.

For example, hatchlings are not just small in size, but their scales are slightly soft and less shiny, and their horns and claws are relatively round, which makes them look cute.

Well, in the eyes of the people of the territory, they just look like dragons that fought against Ajidahaka.

“They… ?”
“They are the ones who saved the lord with their breath!”
“So it’s not an attack? Is that big dragon…”

There are still a few people in panic, but most of them seem to be slowly letting down their guard. In fact, a few soldiers were sent in as wind catchers to be of use in times like this.

Now that the atmosphere has calmed down to some extent and my mind is focused, let’s get started.

Peer still not in use. Instead, its presence was maximized and the entire Yeongju Castle was lightly wrapped.

This is possible because I recognize that this is my territory.

Thanks to this, I opened my mouth to the people of the territory who were probably feeling a moderate level of awe instead of fear.

-Nice to meet.

It’s my first time giving a speech, but I’m sure it will work out somehow. If you look like this, you’ll look cool even if you give a sex lip.

… No, isn’t that right?

***

After somehow successfully completing the speech. While drawing a magic circle that filled the sky beautifully (80% is just for meaningless bluff), we all teleported out of the Lindelheit territory.

Since the humanoid version is more comfortable, I polymorph as soon as I get a little far away, and take turns teleporting with Iona for a while.

As we arrive at the academy, a question arises.

So he sunk his fangs into the back of my neck, patted Iona’s back as she whined and drew blood, and opened her mouth.

“Professor, professor.”

“What?”

“Don’t you need a daily instructor?”

“… Pha! What do you mean, student Yandel?”

“No. Well, it’s nothing special… I will work hard on my training for a while, but there will be times when I get stuck and when I want to take a breather, right? Every time that happens, I wonder if it would be okay for me to teach other students. Oh, of course, only in practice.”

“Ummmm.”

Iona tilted her head and began to think. Actually, this is something I’ve been thinking about since I had just become a mid-level wizard and was unintentionally destroying other professors’ classes one after another as if I was breaking a seal.

The actual combat system in this world is inefficient compared to the days when it was a game.

Of course I know. There is a reason why that has to be the case.

Not everyone can go into battle without any fear like in the game, they can’t use their skills with a click of their fingers, and once they die, there is no next chance, so all their knowledge cannot be passed on and is lost.

Naturally, protecting one’s own body is a priority, so there are bound to be many tactics that seem passive by my standards.

Not long after I entered the academy. That’s why he was able to defeat everyone except Elisha even though he couldn’t even use a few low-level magics yet.

Once again, there is nothing wrong with this. Rather, it is a natural conclusion.

But what is a waste is a waste. Even if it is not a tactic that can be achieved only through system correction that does not tolerate even a single mistake like mine, wouldn’t it be possible to make some improvements?

Well, now that most of the cultists and monsters have disappeared, my strategy has become quite useless… Still, there will still be something that can be used.

“I think it would be okay to teach something like that.”

Hehe.”

Iona nodded her head with her meaningful reply.

“It would be okay if you were a Yandel student. Still, being good at fighting yourself is different from teaching others! So, for now, just watch from the side as if you were my assistant!”

“It’s okay. “Of course.”

How busy have you been dealing with cultists who are smarter than you can imagine and are optimized for intelligence?

However, since all the evil spirits except the noble ruler are dead, there should be some time to spare. Even though I can’t be very relaxed, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do something different every now and then.

… And honestly, it is true that the more I learn about magic, the more my interest grows.

Until now, I thought of magic as a necessary tool for battle, but now I’m just interested in magic itself and want to try various things.

It was fun to create elemental combination magic, and when I improved Clean to create Anal Clean, I was thrilled with my own genius.

Although I was a bit selfish, if I had to continue living on the continent of Aurelia, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to study magic in earnest.

She thought to herself as she cast her final teleport. That’s how she arrived at the mansion she had purchased in Rahim City.

Since she didn’t have anything to do, she made sure there was no problem at home and headed towards her academy.

Although I was not riding in a fancy carriage as the head deacon had suggested, the news had already spread that I had already defeated the infamous Ajidahaka and destroyed the narrow-minded usurpation.

People looking this way and whispering. Some of the dogs even bow their heads deeply as if for some reason.

I feel a little itchy. It seems like just yesterday that I was taking the giggling Carla around and being treated like a vicious nobleman.

As soon as I arrived at the academy, giggling to myself, I sent the other women to their dormitories and decided to meet Rebecca first.

I made a promise to stop by when I arrived at the academy, so I’ll keep it.

After going through such a complicated process, I arrived at the actual director’s office, a small space in the basement of the academy, and stood in front of the small coffin.

Rebecca still gives off a strange aura where her facial features are indistinguishable. She nodded her head at him.

“I’m here, Chairman.”

-Are you here? Please sit down first. I happened to sign a contract with a good store and received one.

No one came to visit, and since I was lying in a life support device that resembled a coffin, there wasn’t even a chair…

Nana Io Naga has been visiting me often these days, so she not only has a small chair and table, but she even has tea and desserts that she won’t even eat.

The tea that boils on its own right before your eyes and the cake that cuts on its own are just like that. Since I said it was a contract, it looks like there’s a new cafe opening somewhere.

“Then I will eat well.”

Whether it’s food or living standards, is this a good store certified by the chairman of the academy in which overall upward standardization has been achieved? I can’t stand this.

I smiled and tried the taste. As expected, it was of excellent quality.

After defeating the narrow-minded usurper, the psychological pressure has been reduced, and after all the accumulated stress from the past few crazy nights has been released, eating something delicious makes me naturally happy.

As I was eating without realizing it, Rebecca smiled and said,

-You really enjoy it.

“Yes? Ah… Sorry. “I was too absorbed in eating it in front of the chairman.”

-No. It’s okay. On the contrary, it felt good because it was rewarding from the perspective of providing hospitality. It’s a pity that I can’t actually taste it… Instead, your ears can enjoy it.

It doesn’t matter what you eat, but it probably means that you should talk about something interesting other than eating.

Since all important stories were reported through a crystal ball anyway, it would be nice to have a topic that is a little more trivial.

The best thing to do with an older person is to ask them about their past, right? The elders in my past life were like that too, and Iona and Iris looked a little excited when they talked about the past.

“I told you I completely turned into a dragon this time, right? In fact, strictly speaking, this would be close to saying that only the body has been returned to the original, Fafnir. In reality, when he takes on the form of a dragon, he has scars in places that were never injured, and his body grows larger than most ancient dragons, which is inappropriate for his age. So I was a little curious…”

It started with my story and then subtly moved on to asking about Fafnir. Rebecca then unpacks the bundle of stories in a slightly nostalgic voice.

-Uhm. I see. Did I tell you how we met last time and how Fafnir changed? Now, let me tell you what happened in the meantime. This happened before Rahim received the holy sword, and the sword he was using broke, so he asked Fafnir to give him one of the rare weapons.

It felt like I was listening to the background story of H&A, and it also felt like I was hearing old stories from an adult like when I was a child.

It was a bit unfamiliar, but it wasn’t a bad feeling, so we agreed and chatted with Rebecca for a while.

After chatting excitedly until the sun set, I slowly got ready to get up. As I was humming her song, which was more enjoyable than I expected, Rebecca added another word as if she had remembered it too late.

-Ah, tomorrow I plan to check the seal of noble reign as student Yandel requested. I haven’t noticed anything unusual yet, but I’ll have to check it myself to be sure. The results will be announced tomorrow.

“Thank you, Chairman.”

-What. It’s nothing compared to what Yandel students did. Managing the seal was originally my job.

Rebecca said in her warm voice and sent me up to the ground.

And the next day.

I lost contact with Rebecca.
