86 – Inversion of authority

“School, professor… ! Are you okay?!”

After Bennett suddenly collapsed,

I put on a brilliant performance.

It was no surprise that someone collapsed after eating my food.

Exactly what I was expecting.

Because it’s something I’ve already experienced.

No matter how hard it is, I never thought I would collapse like this… … .

Perhaps this time, he lost his mind for a moment, admiring the taste of the drill apple pizza.

“… professor?!”

That’s why I pretended to be surprised and asked how I was doing. Even though she almost passed out, she didn’t let go of the pizza in her hand.

“Haaa… … . Like the cake the other day, how did you come up with this combination… … ?”

Look at this. It is a great success.

Didn’t he exclaim as soon as he approached?

A reaction similar to that of mint chocolate.

“I can’t believe it,” he muttered with a blank expression.

‘As expected, I was right… … !’

Choosing Hawaiian pizza was a godsend.

It was possible because it was a food that people liked and disliked as much as mint chocolate. It must have been properly eaten by Benetric’s taste for unusual and special food.

But isn’t this enough to be a gourmet, not a nerd?

Anyway, it’s all thanks to Raylin’s advice.

What would have happened if it hadn’t been for her?

I just can’t get a feel for it

“Whoa… What the hell is on the pizza… … ?”

Even after coming to his senses, Bennett continues to look at the pizza and wonder what the toppings are.

This time around, it’s a lot better than expected.

Was it a bit weaker than mint chocolate?

Anyway, in the end, it was a good thing.

If Derke wasn’t there, and I passed out like last time, the problem would have gotten worse.

“Here, let’s have some water.”

I handed her a glass of water, thinking of various possibilities. If it didn’t suit my taste, I would have rinsed my mouth out with water right away.

But also… … .

“No, there is no need.”

“yes?”

“I don’t need anything like water. I thought it would satisfy my taste buds again… … .”

He refuses water and recites his impressions.

In a worldly voice.

I was brainwashed in a low voice, but

I heard it with both ears. Satisfy your appetite

“ah? Did you like it?”

“Kuhm… ! That, more than that, you guys… … !”

“Why is that? Anything to improve… … .”

I showed a passionate performance until the end.

You shouldn’t like it openly in front of you.

Doing so would only end up hurting her pride.

Didn’t you just put down the drill apple pizza and eat something else as a show of pride? Now, full budget support is right around the corner.

‘That’s why you shouldn’t be in a hurry and get things wrong—’

“No, you boy… … . Become my assistant, too.”

“… … ?”

Bitch, what did you just say?

See me, my colleague… No, to become a teaching assistant?

It’s not even a 4-year system, but a teaching assistant at the 400-year academy???

ㅡTitling!

[The sympathy of the sympathy target increases significantly!]

[Currently, a new target wants to communicate with you.]

[Currently available target: Benetrix (Dragon, Lv.3416)]

[Do you want to accept sympathy?]

To me, who is deeply embarrassed, the topping of being invited to be a teaching assistant and the fulfillment of the requirements for rapport are additionally added.

It seemed like he wasn’t a professor, so he had to accept her invitation to become a teaching assistant in order to successfully communicate with Bennettrick.

‘Sympathy with the principal teacher… … ?’

Where in the world is there such a terrible rapport? This is not called rapport. It’s usually called a slave contract… … .

“… why no answer? Do you not like teaching assistant positions?”

good man hand?

Of course I don’t want to be beaten to death.

That’s a question… … .

Still, since the opponent is a dragon, let’s politely decline.

“professor? I too-“

“I see what you are misunderstanding, but what I am recommending right now is not an ordinary teaching assistant position. That is my exclusive personal assistant position. So you better think about it?”

“Even though… … .”

“listen carefully! If you become my teaching assistant, I will use my strength to free you from your current slave status! Same with the crime of being a dragon hater! It must be an opportunity that will never come again for you, who live such a short life.”

Benetrix quickly comes to his senses and stares into my eyes. My figure is reflected in her bright yellow eyes.

The appearance of a human servant who was accused of being a dragon hater.

“Is it really possible to escape criminals and slavery?”

“Yes, I have face too. You can’t have a criminal as an assistant, can you? Even the Balaur Haters.”

“Ahh… … .”

“Think about it carefully, as this is an opportunity given to you especially for your skills.”

damn, i never thought of this

At first I tried to refuse, but

I am hesitant because a condition is suddenly attached.

It is also liberation from slavery.

If I became a teaching assistant, wouldn’t there be a chance to escape this hellish place? I’m not a criminal or a slave, so I think the treatment will be improved.

“there… professor?”

“Yes, after all, opportunities like this aren’t common, are they? Now I have the heart to become my assistant… … .”

“No, if you become a teaching assistant, what is the working period?”

“What? employment period?”

“yes. allowance or… Well, I want to hear at least some basic conditions.”

I am not some snoring child,

A law that cannot be accepted without examination.

No matter how unconventional the conditions are, there may be some other sinister intention hidden behind them.

I felt it again while preparing for a job change,

Working conditions and welfare must be considered.

If you blindly sign it, you can’t blame others later. Because it’s a contract I agreed to myself.

“Uh, stupid… ! It doesn’t matter at all!”

“Yes?”

“You probably don’t know how honorable and blessed it is to become an assistant to Benetric-nim, the dragon of the rift, a prestigious clan in spite of being human! So come on, make a contract with me… … !”

When asked about the conditions, Bennett only kept talking nonsense. I’m trying to cover it up with nonsense.

After all, it’s an assistant, but there’s no way the period of service is short. And it looks good in the eyes of what you’re going to do.

It’s obvious that I’ll always make you make weird food.

If that’s the case, I think it’s much better to be the head of the dormitory, where you can often run into other SSR classes.

Although the working conditions may not be good right now, now is the time to gradually establish a stable foundation. Considering all of these things, the outlook was not as negative as it was.

“… Then I won’t either.”

“What, what? What are you guys saying… … ?!”

“Thank you for the suggestion, but also sorry. I will gladly accept my punishment as a slave here.”

ㅡTitling!

[Communication with the subject is interrupted.]

[Your friendship with the target will be maintained, but you will not receive any special benefits.]

[You cannot connect again with a target who has refused to communicate once.]

As soon as I express my refusal, a system message pops up in front of me.

I think this kind of thing came up when I refused to communicate with John Johnson.

“This is such an outrageous thing… … !”

ㅡDrrr!

Benetrix nervously raises his voice and kicks up from his seat. Then, with both hands resting on the table, he glared at me and moved his lips.

“How dare you refuse the dragon’s offer? I’ve been generous to criminals at best, but… ! To reject that grace… … ?”

“Hey, professor?”

“You have just damaged my pride! Do you know what this means?!”

ㅡgo go go go go go go go go… … !!!

As she looks at me and screams, the entire rest room around me trembles lightly.

It feels like the air pressure has dropped heavily.

The air around me weighs heavily on me.

The heavy pressure that I felt yesterday at Diora’s hideout.

But strangely, there was no feeling of tightness in the breath or stiffening of the body like yesterday.

ㅡTitling!

[Purification of light is activated.]

[Effective light purification duration: 5 hours 30 minutes]

‘uh? What else is this? Purification of light?’

A system message pops up out of nowhere.

Purification of Light is Sophia’s unique ability.

Perhaps thanks to this, my body seems to be fine now.

But since when did this [purification of light] hang on my body?

I hadn’t met Sophia today.

The flying dragon training ground was the last yesterday.

If that’s the case, it was taken yesterday,

No matter how much I thought about it, there seemed to be no room for that.

‘When the hell did this happen to my body—’

“… breeder? Where are you looking at right now?!”

“ah? professor?”

I’m surprised Is Bennett calling me by my first name?

“Let me give you one more chance. Just obediently become a teaching assistant and make special food just for me from now on for the rest of my life… … !”

crazy year. Then it is.

It seems that the teaching assistant also had a lifetime contract.

In that case, a sentence of 50 years would be better.

Besides, I had no desire to work for the rest of my life under such a hysterical boss.

“I am very sorry, but I will decline. And if you continue to force the teaching assistant position, we will not supply the mint chocolate dessert that was supposed to be provided every month.”

“what… ?! Do you dare to threaten a dragon with a human being!? Even on a human subject? Are you really not worth your life?!”

A roaring roaring sound.

If it was normal, I would have fainted right away.

However, the ‘purification of light’ effect that Sofia gave was amazing.

‘Isn’t everything okay?’

Is it offsetting Bennettrick’s life in real time? Benedict’s scolding only stung his ears, but there was nothing to bother him.

And, perhaps thanks to the ‘Deterioration of the Fire Dragon’ that Raylin gave her earlier, she didn’t shrink at all. Rather, a boldness I don’t know where it came from wraps around my body.

“You can dispose of me however you like. But the story of the goose that lays the golden egg… Have you heard?”

“… what?”

“If you deal with me now just out of anger, you’ll never taste that dessert again, right?”

“You guys all the way… … .”

The deterioration of the Fire Dragon, which is still heating up my body, gives me the courage to face irrationality. Words that I would not normally have thought of were coming out casually.

“And, like today, you won’t be able to taste a different special meal every once in a while, would that be okay?”

“That, like that… … !”

I was overwhelming Bennettrick with a more confident voice than ever before.

Against a dragon that was just a mere human being.
