I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy

62 – 62. Distance

Looking back,

I have never had a private conversation with Scarlett.

Conversation topics such as ‘the correlation between mana circuit manipulation and magical power’ and ‘how to deal with monsters whose weaknesses cannot be identified’. Even if the story blooms for days on end, there is no discomfort.

The question, ‘What did you eat today?’ Is awkward.

That was the relationship between me and Scarlett,

In some ways, he was the most faithful to his priestly relationship.

However, it is natural.

Because it’s not that kind of character.

As soon as Paula catches me in her eyes, she rushes over and tells me trivial stories.

Adela is based on a thorough business spirit, and gives unreasonable favors to people who become her ‘connections’. I feel like it’s gotten worse these days.

However, Scarlett is different.

Me and her tended to only have ‘necessary’ conversations.

All the saddams we exchanged like beans sprouting in a drought all started with my sarcasm and ended up being her response back.

This is the situation where she is standing next to me and quietly looking up at the night sky.

It confused my complicated head even more.

I’m confused as to whether it came for me in the first place, or whether I just happened to be on the rooftop it came up to.

“Is your arm okay?”

So, I decided to just ask what I wanted to check.

If your arm breaks, life becomes difficult.

The doctor said it would be okay, but

She most definitely asked her.

“…It’s okay.”

A positive answer came back.

I sighed inwardly with relief.

“And you?”

“I’m standing on my own two legs now.”

“Not that one.”

I glanced this way,

She turns her head again.

“You sighed. “And that several times.”

“Scarlett.”

It wasn’t enough to make me believe my ears, but

A sufficiently unnatural question.

It was even more so because the subject of her

Was herself.

To be honest, I thought she came to talk about Shinchang.

But he doesn’t finish it.

At this point, I was curious about the reason.

Her family became extinct, and Sinchang disappeared into history.

And, I can recognize the new window.

Honestly, you might be curious, right?

I prepared a lot of plausible reasons, but they didn’t ask me even once. I’m sorry.

What on earth do you think of me that makes me come out like that?

Anyway,

I asked with pure doubt.

“Why are you curious about that?”

When she worries about my safety,

She only suffered physical injuries.

The reason is not human concerns,

The problem is that I can’t be a teacher.

I made her grow up,

She is learning.

Unless this cycle is disrupted,

Do not interfere with each other.

This must be an unwritten rule that I understand.

Why is it so sudden that he breaks it and approaches?

I scanned it in my head as to whether there was a good reason for this journey.

…There was nothing in particular.

So, the answer was also hers.

“I’ve been curious about this for a while.”

“…”

“Why are you so eager?”

It was a strange question that was not like her.

I know, she knows, and even if I go back to her academy and ask a passing student, she will know.

Ivan is not the same as before.

And, I thought it was time for everyone to say ‘that’s it’ and hand it over.

Now? That’s all I can think.

But, it wasn’t said to me.

“It’s amazing that I don’t get tired.”

“…”

“I’m a little tired.”

When she heard those words, she realized.

The reason she does this.

‘You’ve come to hit me hard.’

A clear answer that will clear your head.

The emotion that forms all the sentences so far.

That’s right.

She is anxious about this endless struggle and her own future.

No matter how firm the purpose is and the personality is clear.

Her countless hardships and adversities are enough to make even her stop at least once.

That’s why I want to ask about other people’s well-being,

You want to bury your confusion by acting like that. It’s a kind of avoidance.

This is why he became so sentimental.

Then, it was my turn to step forward.

We need to ignite the weakened wick and make it confident again.

Mental care is a very important issue.

“Scarlett.”

Therefore, she took a step toward the girl who was standing a little far away.

“…What?”

Scarlett flinches and takes a step back.

But, not to be outdone, she went one step further.

“…”

She doesn’t back down anymore.

Originally, words like this inevitably end up being so unfamiliar that they make each other blush.

Because this also had to be solved ‘like Ivan’.

“I think I know what you’re thinking.”

“…Really? So?”

I said what she said to me.

It was returned as is.

“I have too many thoughts.”

—

Obsessed with perfection.

It wears out humanity.

If you were asked to describe her teacher in one word, she would have summed it up like this.

He was calm no matter what happened,

The atmosphere alone captivated those around him,

Always produced the best results.

And, it doesn’t just happen.

Wouldn’t it be possible to imitate something if you bind yourself with an obsession that borders on mania?

That obsession may have played a big role in causing him to become ‘that kind of person.’

However, that perfection was broken.

Scarlett listened.

In the deepest and widest part of the cave.

I could hear clearly.

‘Ah, damn it.’

The sound of his saliva coming out as he grinds his teeth.

It wasn’t the first time I saw him make a provocative exclamation,

This time the result was different.

Because the facial expressions were different.

No matter what the situation, he doesn’t let go until the end, and doesn’t show even the slightest amount of composure.

I think it started from then.

The monster named Instructor began to look like a human being.

A man named Ivan Kherson.

And then, the new spear was held and wielded again.

The two elements are,

Even after everything was over, it continued to linger in her mind.

In the end, it was the day before my return.

On the last night outside the academy, it was Scarlett who found him.

Squeak-

The rooftop door gently opened.

The instructor who did not come out even when I knocked on the door of the private room was, as expected, here.

As he leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery outside, he didn’t even notice the sound of her door.

Scarlett walked.

I didn’t force the footsteps to be muffled.

However, the instructor never looked back until the end.

A moan flowing from his back.

I don’t know what you’re thinking,

It didn’t look happy.

I felt it again.

People live with their own worries,

There is no difference just because I am a human.

The instructor was letting it flow alone on the rooftop at night when no one was around, as if it were impurity.

“Stop sighing. “The ground will disappear.”

As I said that, I leaned against the railing about three steps away from him.

I didn’t mean to scold you,

This is how the words came out.

And he,

He didn’t seem to care at all.

“Is your arm okay?”

It’s always like this.

No matter how injured you are, no matter how torn your flesh is and how much blood oozes out.

He always started with something like that.

But for today,

That was what she had to say.

“You sighed.”

And, the instructor asked as if he genuinely didn’t know.

“Why are you curious about that?”

It was a statement that hit the nail on the head.

Whatever he thought, it was none of her business.

I was in a position where I should have felt guilty for even worrying about him even for a moment.

The premise is reminded again.

The man in front of me might be the family’s enemy.

I couldn’t pretend not to know that.

“I’ve been curious about this for a while.”

At first, I thought it was fortunate.

Someone in my memory who destroyed my family.

The instructor was like a clue, He thought there would be no harm in having him around.

From noble mtl dot com

“Why are you so eager?”

But not anymore.

As much as he has changed.

She also changed.

The author called teacher may be an enemy of the family,

A relationship that is continued knowingly but tolerated.

Even though I owe him my life, the words “Thank you” Are stuck in my throat,

This relationship can only be endured if you always force yourself to lie about your feelings.

This is an abnormal situation where no matter how close you get, you have to get further away.

“I’m a little tired.”

I’m sick of it now.

To the point where I want to cut it off.

If you don’t cut it off now,

I don’t know how that karma will come back.

Yeah, maybe she is.

She may have come to him to convey that meaning.

But rather.

He approached.

“Scarlett.”

An ambiguous distance that will never be narrowed.

The instructor narrows the gap in one go.

“…What?”

I reflexively took a step back.

He didn’t stop.

“I think I know what you’re thinking.”

He may be the family’s enemy.

As long as the question about Shinchang is not resolved, he has no choice but to be suspicious.

That’s why I had to be on guard.

I had to retreat as much as I came in.

For some reason, my legs don’t move.

“…Really? So?”

Rather, I crave it even more.

I wait so impatiently for the next words.

And he,

I repeated a familiar phrase.

“I have too many thoughts.”

That’s what she said.

“I understand. You must be exhausted. But what are you going to do? “Can I write you a letter of resignation?”

“…No.”

“You wouldn’t have come to the Academy to play either. There must be some purpose.”

It was a little awkward because the prime suspect for that purpose was talking right in front of me.

I listened without responding.

“I don’t know what the goal is, but I guess it will be as high as his talent.”

“…”

“But that method seems foolish. No one in the world can live with only the goal in mind at the end of the sky. If that happens, that’s crazy. So, if I had to remind you-“

And he said,

“You are doing well.”

“…”

“Much more than you think. To the point where that status is a waste. “As a teacher, I want to thank you.”

These were words I did not want to hear from my family’s enemy.

The words I wanted to hear from my teacher.

So, she.

“Phew.”

I burst out laughing.

Two people standing blankly on the rooftop here.

Is it a villain who deceives the entire world and wants to cook the prey in front of him, and is a vengeful demon fighting him?

Are they just two humans struggling to survive?

This situation was so ridiculous that I couldn’t even judge it, so I took action.

“…Why are you smiling?”

“No, no. “I wasn’t laughing at you.”

Yes, it is as you said.

There is no need to bring up facts in advance that will eventually be known someday.

For now, let’s just believe what we want to believe.

“This is why I can’t help but bring up the story of blood. “They said they would have a serious talk for the first time in a while, but I can’t hold back-“

“Instructor.”

It can’t be helped.

It’s already too late to push it away.

I just realized that.

“Thank you.”

A brief greeting.

He may not know the weight contained in those words.

“…Not much to say.”

Just like that, the night came to an end.

—

“No, but what are you thankful for? I believe that you did not interpret my encouragement in a strange way. Always keep this in mind. I never told you to settle for reality. “Escape is a path worse than regression.”

“It’s noisy.”

“…”

“Go and sleep.”

With a guy who can’t even control the atmosphere.
