57 – What is that? (2)

… … A lecture room where only the sound of breathing can be heard intermittently.

The voice imbued with magic must have reached every corner of the classroom, but no one tried to move. It’s so predictable that I can’t even laugh at it.

“Everyone here answered my call normally, and that means they also heard what I just said… .”

Starting from the front row, I slowly caught my eyes on the frozen guys.

“I don’t know why nobody is moving.”

I raised my right hand toward the guys who still exercised the right to remain silent and sat like a manger seat.

“Don’t take up the other guys’ time and get out quickly.”

Just-!

I lightly snapped my fingers.

The action itself is a trivial thing that has no meaning right now, just for show.

The magical energy that had spread throughout the classroom responded to my will and began to move.

In an instant, they cover 66 people’s notes, take the pen in their hand and put it into their bag.

Those who tremble and look surprised.

“If you want, I can carry your luggage out the door.”

As I tried to flick my hand again, the female student who had asked me a question from the crack raised her hand. At that time, both snowballs had blue bruises, but Lee Ye-sol seems to have paid a lot of attention to them.

I lowered my raised hand and chined Jang Nara.

If there was something to say, it was permission to do it.

Jang Nara lowered her hand, took a short breath, and opened her mouth, which had been closed until now.

“First of all, the disappointing performance in last week’s lecture. I sincerely apologize.”

Place your hands on your stomach and politely bow toward me. The angle was exactly right angle.

“Also, as the professor said, I took this class after seeing someone who is an associate professor. But… .”

Jang Na-ra lifted her slowly bent waist.

He puts me in his two eyes that couldn’t see me clearly before and says it.

“Not now. Although I did not listen to the professor’s lecture because I fell asleep in the first class, I read the contents of the printouts distributed as joint practice and assignments held on Thursday, and I came to think that I must listen to the professor’s lecture and learn.”

Some students who had been silently bowing their heads nodded.

“The actions I showed you. I know it was an inexcusable and disrespectful act. That’s why I’m even more sorry and I want to hide from embarrassment even at the moment I’m saying this. But I dare you. Please give me one more chance.”

Jang Na-ra bowed once again, and some of the students who had been quiet so far rose from their seats and followed Jang Na-ra to me, bowing at the waist and saying.

-sorry!!

-Please give me one more chance.

– You can do it really well.

In the end, all but 14 people stood up and apologized to me, admitting their mistakes.

I looked around the scenery for a while and then opened my mouth.

“The attitude of being able to admit one’s fault is commendable. That kind of mindset is necessary to move forward. Jang Nara.”

“… … Yes.”

When my name was called, he lifted his waist.

I told the guy who told me my thoughts without any pretense or lies.

“I heard you well.”

“then… .”

“I have to go ahead with the lecture, so please leave.”

“… … Yes?”

Embarrassment rises in the eyes of Jang Na-ra, who was mixed with tension and anticipation.

“I told you to leave when you’re done talking.”

“That, school, professor… !! I fully understand that you are deeply offended by my actions, our actions. No, I know you would not understand how insulting and humiliating it was unless you were the professor who was the person in charge… . But I don’t think this is!!”

The voice of the guy who had been talking calmly until now is getting furious.

“What is it?”

“No matter how upset you are, this is the situation where they are trying to kick us out because of that. Trying to kick out students just because they didn’t do one assignment. It is said that even if you search all the academies, there will be no cases like this.”

“Then I will be the first.”

“It will have a huge negative effect on the professor!! That could be a laughing matter!! There are rumors that you are narrow-minded—”

Jang Nara, who had been talking hard, suddenly stiffened with her mouth open.

I looked at Baek Ha-na with the help of my glasses.

There was a soft glow in the clear sky blue eyes.

‘Five years ago.’

They asked me to send them to a normal school, and they sent me a bunch to write. And on the third day, the accident happened. In the middle of the classroom, the guy who silently endured swear words surrounded by his bullying parents once showed eyes similar to that one the moment they gossiped about me.

Swoop.

I put one hand up and covered my mouth.

It was because the fact that Hana Baek was thinking of me kept trying to raise the corner of her mouth, unable to control the joy of this goddamn body.

Suppressing the body’s desire to enjoy this feeling a little more, I lightly hit Baek Ha-na’s forehead with a small clump of mana.

“Oh… … ?”

The guy who had been acting out of proportion to his age opened his eyes wide and caressed his forehead.

“… Sigh!!”

At the same time, Jang Nara, who had been frozen, let out her choked breath. I said to Jang Nara, who was breathing on her desk.

“I knew very well what you meant. But there are a few things to correct.”

“I, the part to be corrected… ?”

Nodding her head, she said to not only Jang Nara but all the students sitting here.

“first. I have never been disappointed in you. I didn’t expect it in the first place, so how could I be disappointed?”

Instead, I was a little surprised.

The number of submissions was higher than expected.

“second. I didn’t feel any ill feelings toward your attitude in the last lecture. I won’t care what you do during the lecture as long as it doesn’t get in the way. It will be the same in the future.”

“Then why are you trying to kick us out!!”

I turned my head toward Jang Nara who shouted.

“You’re asking the same question even though the answer was given earlier. I am kicking you out not because I have any ill feelings towards you, but simply because you did not turn in your assignments.”

“… Doesn’t that mean that you don’t like our behavior and you’re kicking us out?”

“not.”

“what-“

Jang Nara, who was about to continue speaking, was stopped by raising her hand.

“If any students remember what I said on the podium on the day of the entrance ceremony, please raise your hand.”

Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee raised their hands at the same time.

“Nam Seo-hee.”

“Yes. The professor said.”

[Lecture on basic crack studies is an elective liberal arts course, and most of it will be conducted in theory. In addition, there will be assignments every week, and those who do not perform well will be expelled, so do not waste time and take lectures on the necessary subjects.]

“… said.”

“Accurate.”

He said to Jang Nara, who was standing with her mouth slightly open.

“You should know by now. That I am kicking you out is not because I have ill feelings toward you.”

It’s just a matter of following the rules you set from the beginning.

There was not even a speck of emotion in it.

“only once… .”

“If you’re trying to tell me to give you a chance, then stop.”

I don’t know if it was a normal university.

For those Awoken who enter the rift, that was not the case.

“It was not a sudden whim, and it was announced at a public place called the entrance ceremony. Also, you guys must have already taken an opportunity from someone and are here, so what kind of additional opportunity are you asking for is a request that is difficult for me to understand.

“… … .”

Jang Nara lowered her head.

As if that was a signal flare, the students who had been stuck in the seats like mangbuseok got up from their seats and began to quietly leave the classroom.

As much as I was kicked out of my lecture, I will have to get the credits that I lack in other lectures, but that is also a part that they have to take care of.

“Jang Nara.”

“… … .”

65 out of 66 left.

The only thing left is Jang Nara, whom I just called by name.

Jang Nara, who was looking down at the empty desk with her head down, raised her head. Jang Nara’s face was flushed red, and it was the result of a mixture of anger and shame.

“… there is.”

“What is there?”

With a reddened face, Jang Nara pointed to the few remaining students and shouted.

“There are people who gave out blank papers without filling in anything!!”

The three students pointed out by Jang Nara crumpled their faces.

Perhaps seeing that reaction, Jang Nara opened her bag and took out the printed materials I gave her.

“On the other hand, I lack a lot, but I am not very blank. I just didn’t submit it because I couldn’t finish it.”

desperate

It seemed that he wanted to stay here somehow.

But.

“therefore.”

“… … Yes?”

Gradually, boredom creeps in.

“What do you mean by that?”

“That, so… .”

“Jang Nara.”

“oh… … .”

The print that was in Jangnara’s hand flew into my hand.

“Do you remember what I said when I handed this out?”

“Uh, that… .”

“I can’t remember. you were sleeping.”

“… … .”

Jang Nara’s face turned red even more.

But it wasn’t something I had to consider.

“I said exactly that when I handed it out.”

[This week’s assignment. Submit by next time.]

Fire-!!

Jang Nara’s task in her hand burns and disappears.

I said as I brushed off the remaining ashes from my hands.

“I only asked for one thing. Submitting assignments by this time today. Not a single word was added.”

The more you talk, the more the unpleasant feelings amplify.

“To fill in the blanks or not to fill in. That’s something I’ll evaluate after submitting it, not something you’ll stumble upon if you don’t even submit it. Jang Nara.”

All necessary information has been given. However, he does not blame his own stupidity for not using it, but somehow sacrifices those who are weaker than himself to get an opportunity.

‘It’s annoying to say more.’

I moved my magic toward Jang Na-ra, who was stunned as the assignment burned.

Along with the bag on the desk, Jang Nara’s body came to mind and disappeared outside the classroom.

Click.

I closed the door that had been open for about 20 minutes and unlocked the briefcase I had been carrying with me. I blew the wads of paper in it towards the remaining students in the classroom.

“It is a task.”

I lowered the blackboard and lifted the prepared chalk with magic.

“Fill in paragraph D2 and submit it by next time.”

No matter how many times I thought about it, double digits were too many.
