I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy

67 – 67. Compassion

Why do people raise their ranks?

This is a very basic and knowledgeable question, but

First of all, it can be classified into three reasons.

Honor, patriotism, and money.

Honor.

It is natural that as the rank goes up, one’s value also rises vertically.

Patriotic.

By proving your objective skills to the empire, you can further contribute to saving the world, including the empire.

Money.

Of course, A-rank veterans eat better and live better than E-rank rookies.

Three very intuitive and valid reasons.

Then, let’s think about it the other way around.

If there are people who do not ‘intentionally’ raise their ranks, what is the reason?

As the saying goes, if you put something together, there is a reason,

There may be various circumstances.

At least the girl in front of me.

“aaah! You’re Maxwell, right?! There’s no one in the empire who can match gravity magic-“

“Let’s calm down, Celeste.”

“If you sign, I will calm down! I promise!”

The story behind her cackling with all her might and appealing, ‘I’m a country bumpkin’ was simple.

There is no need for honor or patriotism.

What I’m after is just more money.

And, very ironically.

Being connected to a noble family and being used as a mercenary in a situation like this.

You can earn a lot more money than just raising your rank and being loyal to the empire.

Intentionally does not raise the rank and plays the underdog.

And, by ruthlessly defeating the ‘difficult opponent’ pointed out by the employer, the opponent’s reputation is brought to the ground.

“Honestly, I’m really nervous. I’m not going to die, right?”

“I’m relieved because I’m doing it safely with an S-class shield. And please take back that statement.”

“What do you mean?”

“What… A witch…”

That was the bare face of that simple country girl.

However, fundamentally, I was not much different from her.

To be honest, I’m not a C-level person either.

Before being possessed, Ivan was such a scum that he seemed worthy of even C rank.

Various skills acquired after being possessed.

The possessed person’s head is mounted there.

Even if I want to lose, I am not confident that I will lose, at least to an opponent I know.

“Yes, instructor Ivan. Since we have arrived at the evaluation center, we can say that preparations are complete. When can I take the exam?”

The chairman speaks in a very kind voice and seems to be considerate of me. There are no snakes.

I want to take them to the sparring hall right now and clear the event, but…

“Celeste Assessor.”

“Yes!”

“It’s been a while since I returned from deployment. Since I haven’t recovered from my travels, would it be okay to take a few days before proceeding?”

She was the one who rolled her eyes for a moment,

Soon she smiled brightly.

“Of course! Well, then can I stay here until then?”

“Of course. There are a lot of spare rooms in the dormitory.”

“Isn’t this a dream? I can live with legendary people from all over the empire…!”

She was saying things that were not even in her heart,

She had no time to laugh.

“…I think today’s agenda has been sorted out.”

The public opinion of students is both friendly and cynical toward me.

How to use the former,

Because I just remembered it.

—

It is not difficult to beat Celeste.

If it had been before we captured Arachne, we would have had to prepare quite intensively, but now it is different.

Physical abilities. Among them, this ‘Runaway’ skill, which strengthens moving vision tremendously.

For Celeste, whose greatest strength is technique, it is no different from rat poison.

You can win right now, but

I plan to catch a slightly bigger fish.

That’s why the sparring date was postponed.

“Five times.”

Private room during lunch break.

Scarlett sits in front of me.

“I heard about you in passing throughout the day. Five times. Wherever I go, there is only talk about you and your rank.”

“Is this something to be so creepy about?”

“That’s what I meant…”

She looks like she’s in awe.

“You were fundamentally wrong from the beginning. Because you were not a C rank in the first place.”

“Did you explain it that way?”

“No, why do you do such a bothersome thing?”

Well… He is a consistent friend.

However, this time it is a very nice shot.

Not resolving that misunderstanding is

This is the core of the plan to be implemented from now on.

“Why on earth are such rumors going around? It’s so pathetic that it kills me.”

“It was intentional.”

“What?”

Scarlett thought that the students had inflated the rumor because they had nothing to do, but

It was corrected.

“It wasn’t my intention, but it could be said to be a rumor intended by another force.”

“Who does something like that and why?”

“Do you remember Instructor Moriam?”

Moriam.

The moment she heard those three letters, her expression crumpled mercilessly.

It was a bad experience for me too, but

She was a wicked person even to herself.

“He came back in disgrace, and the chairman was busy protecting him. Rumors also spread around the same time.”

From noble mtl dot com

“I’m pissed.”

It seemed like he wanted to run right now and slap the regime in his face,

It is not yet time.

“I plan to grab the torso.”

“Body?”

“The chairman who pushes him to a suspicious level. Until last time, I thought he had built up an amazing personal relationship, but not anymore.”

That’s right.

It is impossible for Moriam to receive such blatant support just because he ‘walked the line’ well.

Then, in the end, what remains.

“School ties, local ties, and blood ties. I’m looking at the third possibility.”

Although it is a very personal situation,

Absolutely taboo in Russell.

Two or more members of the same family join the faculty.

This is something that is strictly prohibited, to the point where you will be punished the moment you are caught.

But, at this point, I was half convinced.

“…It’s just a guess after all.”

“If there is evidence, it is not speculation.”

“Is there anything?”

“Not at the moment.”

There is evidence. It definitely exists.

Even Chris left evidence.

It’s just that it’s not in my hands right now.

So, after securing the evidence.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors, who is the fundamental supporter of Moriam, is fired.

The reason I do this is because I don’t want to see it, but…

It was because I already knew who the next chairman would be.

Because he is the master of the stigma.

As long as you guide the game development in that way, clearing becomes easier as you put in the effort.

Common sense tells us that it is easier to kill someone at home than to go and slit their throat in person.

So, the key point was to ‘make the position of chairman of the board vacant.’

Proof of my skills and preparation for the future.

To tie together completely different cases and solve them all at once.

As a speedrun gamer, this is such a beautiful plan.

“How are you going to find that evidence? Are you going to make the move yourself? I’ll tell you, I don’t even want to face that guy-“

“You’re both wrong, Scarlett.”

“What? Then how-“

Knock knock-

“You’re here.”

“…Who?”

“Why don’t you hide for a moment?”

After arguing for a few seconds,

I was able to put the upset Scarlett in the cabinet.

Stay there and watch.

Squeak-

“Please come in.”

What knocked on that door were three or four hands.

The hands were without a single wound, as if to indicate that the experience had not yet been fully experienced.

The owner of that hand.

“Hello, instructor!”

“Oh, hello…”

“Is this a private room? It’s very spacious…”

Students.

Two male students, one female student.

They were the same extras as the other students, but they were familiar faces.

The two male students are friends I saved by binding them in the main auditorium.

The female student is a character who was similarly rescued from the female student dormitory.

In other words, everyone received my help at least once.

Even in this issue, they are likely to be ardent Ivan supporters.

Then, you should definitely use it.

“I have some things to hand you.”

—

The situation of the private room seen through a gap in the cabinet.

Conversations heard through ears.

Scarlett finally understood.

‘There is a lot of material to distribute. These are Chris’s swordsmanship materials, these are in-depth textbooks I wrote myself, and these are…’

‘Teacher, instructor? Why do this now…’

‘Is it really all a task? No, I have to do it.’

The reason he called the students.

‘No, it’s not an assignment. I’m just asking you to read it later.’

‘Yes? Why not…’

‘Are you going on a long business trip?’

His answer to the students’ questions.

The tone of her voice was completely different compared to the tone of voice she spoke with just a moment ago.

‘…No. Because I might have to leave Russell. ‘We are distributing it now.’

‘Yes?!’

Their expressions turn gray.

Someone came to his senses and asked the reason.

And the answer that came back was,

Even Scarlett could have predicted it.

‘Ruschel, ironically, is a place where political battles take place quite frequently. I was so busy with work that I didn’t pay attention to it, but it seemed like I was being treated a little harshly before I knew it.’

‘Well, like that…!’

The students looked as if they were facing great darkness.

They each recalled memories of being driven to the brink of death.

Maybe the fact that I’m even breathing here right now is thanks to the instructor in front of me.

I can’t believe an instructor like that would be expelled.

Even the reason is ‘because I was pushed out of the political battle.’

They were not people who could just ignore something like that.

‘Who is that shameless person?!’

‘What should I tell the students? ‘You just have to accept it.’

‘No, still!’

Like a person who has given up on life,

A name that gives you such a feeling and slips away.

‘Well, personally, I doubt the relationship between Instructor Moriam and the chairman. These are all useless guesses now. ‘There is no evidence.’

‘Z, evidence?’

‘I’m sure it’s in a private room somewhere, but since I can’t go in, I feel more comfortable just packing my bags. I hope you all take this material with you when you go home.’

In the eyes of Scarlett, her third party,

It was really crazy and blatant.

The parties involved always do not know.

Even if it is people who don’t know anything about the world, they are even less able to notice the gap.

So, they went back without being able to find anything more to say.

And here is where Scarlett, who sneaked out and followed behind them, is sitting.

Bench in front of the main auditorium.

Although Scarlett was chewing bread across a bench, she could hear everything they were talking about on the two benches next to her.

“This is not right. You want us to watch with our eyes open as Instructor Ivan becomes a victim of political corruption?”

“What if the monsters attack again later? What if Moriam protects you then? Absolutely not.”

“So, what we have to do is…”

Two men and one woman.

The eyes of a total of three students come together as one.

It seems like opinions have been settled.

“Proof. The instructor is under a lot of pressure, so we have to conquer his private room that he can’t even think of entering.”

“How can we?”

“Think about it. We are students, right?”

Students smiling.

“We protect it. This is not just for one instructor, but a great leap forward for Russell’s integrity.”

“That’s right. The right thing should be done without anyone knowing.”

“Isn’t that chivalry?”

“That’s it!”

They play well, really.

Unbeknownst to them that their stream of consciousness was ‘intended’ for the snake they trusted,

Children who are simply infatuated with the feeling of becoming knights.

“Let’s move right now. Where was that?”

“Teacher’s office!”

As soon as you decide on a destination, you get up and watch the idiots running away.

“Isn’t it cute?”

“…”

Suddenly, she wasn’t the only one.

To this instructor, who was sitting next to her, calmly drinking coffee, and enjoying watching the students she ‘encouraged’ to do right.

There was only one thing to ask.

“How are you going to take care of this?”

“Yes?”

And what came back was,

Perhaps the most Ivan-like answer.

“What did I do?”

“……”

“I just made a lament based on speculation. If something goes wrong later, you could act as a witness.”

Arms are bent inward.

Scarlett has no intention of stopping this instructor.

But, I really have to say this.

“I don’t know who the villain is.”
