“… Today we learned about the water cycle, so tomorrow let’s learn about the types of soil and how plants can grow in it.”

After the two-hour study period a day was over, Lua and Camilla faced each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.

“To think that rainwater and seawater were the same water… … .”

Philip was a great storyteller and teacher.

Perhaps even more knowledgeable than the scholars who had been employed as Camilla’s tutors. To the point that Camilla thought that he might be more suited to a humanities professor than a swordsmanship instructor.

The soft, kind tone and innate eloquence were more than enough to keep the eyes and ears of the two girls open for two hours.

As if reading a fairy tale, it mixed up an interesting story, breaking the common sense that Camilla and Lua had known before.

Camilla, who has received a high level of education in her own way, did not believe Philip’s explanation at first, but the more she listened, the more surprised she was at the level and depth of his knowledge.

“What are we doing now?”

Lua tilted her head and asked. Camilla thought for a moment. There was a lot to do, a lot of people I could meet, and a lot of things I wanted to do.

Besides, since I had a lot of time, even just sitting still was much more enjoyable than when I was living in the palace.

‘Will it be more fun after a week?’

After the vacation, she was scheduled to become an academy student from the second semester. For the first time in my life, it was a bit daunting to step into the crowd of boys and girls my age, but it was also true that I was looking forward to it.

‘Anyway, why did my father say that?’

Camilla, who had recently spoken with her father, the King, for a few hours, was told by the King to stay as close to Philip as possible.

‘That means to get married after all.’

When the unmarried princess was told to stay close to the man, it could only be interpreted as saying that the man was chosen as the son-in-law.

Two of Camilla’s older sisters had also been married in the same way, and were now raising their families with the heirs of other countries’ royalty or noble families.

Originally, Camilla was also supposed to be like that within a few years, but since she entered the academy, she was free until the moment she graduated.

As soon as the two adolescent girls left the study, Philip opened the documents delivered from the academy.

“ah. What kind of curriculum reform is this?”

Philip, who had memories of suffering from similar things in the distant past, somewhere far away, hated the word reorganization.

However, the academy’s plan was very practical and efficient, so the complaints quickly disappeared.

“… You don’t assign professors by grade, but by subject? This is pretty good.”

After reading through the entire roll of parchment, Philip stroked his chin and fell into thought.

‘Physical training, swordsmanship theory, basic swordsmanship and advanced swordsmanship are taught separately… Not bad. In addition, from the senior year, you can take more diverse subjects. The same goes for the Faculty of Magic. Destruction magic, illusion magic, and magic experiments are divided. We are also planning to recruit additional professors and instructors.’

This made the staff’s workload much less. Theoretically, it was only necessary to attend classes five times a week, so it was obvious that the quality of education would naturally improve as I could spend more time preparing for classes during my spare time.

The problem is that this reorganization could have restructured the instructors. Of course, Philip would be safe, but the magic faculty instructors would be in an emergency now.

On the last page of the document, it was written that all faculty members would visit the academy to assign courses.

The date was just tomorrow morning.

* * *

The classroom of the swordsmanship department was crowded with faculty members, not students. Instructors and professors who were on vacation or at home were summoned here at the unexpected news of the reorganization, and they sat in their assigned seats and waited for the head professor to open his mouth.

“… Everyone must have heard that the academy is revamping its curriculum.”

Of course, head professor Emil Panoy was responsible for the re-evaluation of the Faculty of Swordsmanship. He looked at the instructors and professors gathered here with a look of annoyance.

“Your dissatisfaction will skyrocket if I arbitrarily assign subjects, so I’m thinking of re-evaluating you in order to assign them in the most fair way possible. If you write down the subject you want to teach on a slip of paper and submit it, we will decide if you have the right skills.”

At the head professor’s declaration, there was a brief disturbance among the swordsmanship instructors gathered in the classroom.

“… I don’t know what this is going on. Instructor. I was just practicing in a quiet place.”

Phillip only laughed at the muttering of Instructor Diana Farrenhal, who was sitting next to him.

“So, what subject would you like to be in charge of, Instructor?”

Instructor Diana, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, was calmer than before, and her eyes deepened. Philip was convinced that she had attained some enlightenment after only a few weeks of practice.

“I just want to do what I do. In fact, aren’t the first and second year years the most important? If you don’t lay the groundwork at a young age and turn your attention to techniques, you could end up with a big loss later.”

“Then we can work together from next semester.”

Diana smiled and nodded. It was a gaze full of goodwill.

“I hope so. Instructor. If you want to pay back a little bit of what you received from the instructor, that would be easier.”

Feather pens and notes were soon issued to faculty members. Philip and Diana wrote down the subject they wanted without any hesitation and submitted it, and the head professor who accepted it licked their lips.

“You both wrote down basic swordsmanship and physical training. If it were you, it would have been enough for you to be in charge of advanced swordsmanship.”

Philip answered with both hands slightly raised.

“Aren’t the foundations the most important thing in anything?”

“But for your future, it would be better if you were in charge of advanced swordsmanship or swordsmanship theory?”

If you were aiming for a position under a high-ranking aristocrat or an instructor or advisor to a knights order, that was the right thing to do, but Philip shook his head coolly.

“I don’t think much. And even if I don’t do that, I will eat well and live well for the rest of my life.”

“It’s like an unlucky child… .”

The head professor murmured at Philip’s answer. Then Felicia came forward. Everyone’s eyes were on her because she was the first to wake up among the professors.

“I will be in charge of basic swordsmanship. professor.”

“So be it. However, unlike before, education should be conducted in a more specialized and detailed way. Discuss with the instructors and prepare well.”

“yes. professor.”

When Felicia said that, the head professor agreed at once. She was the youngest of the professors anyway, so it made sense for her to be in charge of basic swordsmanship.

As time passed, notes piled up on the head professor’s podium.

Professor Haslan and Professor Cumbell expressed their opinions that they would be in charge of advanced swordsmanship and swordsmanship theory, respectively.

“You, Haslan, will be in charge of advanced swordsmanship?”

“yes. professor. How many years have I been in charge of senior students, and have I not produced many famous graduates? I don’t think there is anyone more suitable than me.”

The head professor tilted his head at Professor Haslan’s words. Because it was completely different from what he knew.

“That’s because they’re proud. What have you done? If you taught so well, those famous graduates would have packed up and come to see you. Hey, are you really confident? Do you know why the academy suddenly revamped the curriculum?”

“yes. I know. professor. Isn’t that the king’s name? Instead of increasing the subsidy several times, an order came down to raise the level of education higher than it is now, and I heard that the royal palace comes out for inspections every quarter.”

The head professor nodded.

“I thought you would know. I am also aware that you maintain friendships with many nobles.”

Professor Haslan sensed something was wrong with Emil Panoy’s attitude. His face turned pale, and at the same time, veins formed on the head professor’s forehead.

“… this careless person Are you kidding me? If you don’t have the ability, you should know how to step down on your own, right? Just to let you know, the dean ordered you to be dismissed.”

“yes?”

Embarrassed, Professor Haslan widened his eyes.

“What are you asking? Isn’t it a fact that we all know that you provided convenience to high-status students? I was going to leave the title of professor because of the affection I’ve had, but it’s getting to the point where it’s not worth it to be greedy beyond my means.”

The head professor sighed deeply and pointed to the exit.

“Let’s go. You are dismissed.”

“no… professor. Where is this law? Don’t you know how much I’ve done for the academy?”

Professor Haslan expressed his regret in surprise, as if jumping up and down, but it was nothing. Surprisingly, none of the instructors or professors were embarrassed or astonished.

‘It deserves to be cut. what.’

Philip, who knew Professor Haslan well, nodded as if it were natural. Even if only a few of his behind-the-scenes work to get ahead came to light, it wouldn’t make sense to hold a professorship.

“I won’t say it twice. go out.”

When the head professor glared at him with stern eyes, Professor Haslan, who had been knocked down by himself, gnashed his teeth and turned around.

‘Tsk. I can see what he’ll do.’

Philip clicked his tongue slightly when he sensed the resentful look in his eyes.

“Instructor Angio, Instructor Grimaldo, Instructor Sentia. You guys won’t be at the academy from next semester either, so pack your things and leave. I’ll give you a generous severance pay.”

A few instructors who did not meet the standards of the head professor also said goodbye and disappeared.

The atmosphere in the classroom became gloomy, and in the heavy air the head professor clapped his hands a few times to draw attention to himself.

“You guys weren’t even fired, so why is the atmosphere like this? You should work harder than you do now to increase what you have. Those who do not have the confidence to do so would do well to leave immediately. Now I’m going to introduce you to a new professor. Will you be like that?”

“The new professor… ?”

Instructor Diana tilted her head. Philip also looked at Felicia as if he had never heard of it, and Felicia also met Philip’s eyes with an expression asking if you knew anything.

“Come in. professor.”

The faculty members were quite surprised to see the head professor, who was comfortable speaking even to the fairly old Cambell instructor, calling them respectfully, and fixed their eyes on the person who opened the classroom door and entered.

‘… uh?’

‘… uh?’

Upon confirming the identity of the person, Philip and Felicia were astonished as if they had seen a ghost.

A beautiful blonde woman who appears to be in her late twenties. The fact that she was, in fact, about to turn forty, was known only to Philip and Felicia at this meeting.

Because it was Altair Alloy, the countess of the ruined Elroy family and the first princess of the past.

With a sword at her waist, she climbed onto the podium where the head professor was standing and smiled slightly. As soon as Philip met her gaze, he recalled the image of her being beaten like a dog by Privia in the past.
