When was it?

The moment when End Lord ignited his passion.

‘The moment I first encountered knowledge.’

Yes, it must have been like that when he first encountered alchemy.

For him, alchemy was a study that could be called his identity.

If so, when was it?

‘The only thing I stopped looking down after I reached the top is… … .’

For him, knowledge is to seek, not to give.

His job as a professor was only for his own research funds.

He was alone in his world.

The fact that he is at the top means everyone else is below him.

If so, when?

‘How long did I intend to stay stagnant drunk with pride?’

His knowledge is blocked. It was natural to be blocked. Being normal is a difficult thing to break through.

Building up knowledge.

However, the piles built high alone are unstable and only collapse.

have to build up together.

To do that, you need to let everyone know what you have learned.

You need a friend to walk with.

“We must change.”

“… … ?”

Staff meeting following Tia’s absence.

End Road shared his thoughts before telling the story.

which has been neglected until now.

I knew it, but I dismissed it as a custom and just passed it on.

“We have a duty to impart knowledge to our students.”

“hahahaha, that’s sudden. Isn’t it natural? Or, did something happen to you?”

“There was. It was only when we realized that we weren’t the only ones living fiercely.”

End Lord recalled the image deeply etched into his mind.

The image of him trying to carry out his will to the point of putting his life into immortality rekindled the fire of End Lord, which had been extinguished. I could understand.

Why was Prudence Roa so obsessed with teaching her students?

I seemed to know now.

“Current Skientia has problems. It just means that the options are limited.”

“Is it narrow? At Schientia, there are over 100 subjects to choose from, right?”

＜Skientia＞ is a place of education where intellectuals from all over the world gather. As such, there were a huge number of subjects.

“Then, among non-combat students, are there any students who are taking combat classes, intermediate or higher classes?”

“… … .”

“There is not. There is none. The reverse is also true. We intended to provide the best education possible. But, on the contrary, it narrowed down the options by increasing the level of specialization.”

The professors were mesmerized by End Rod’s speech.

The words of a human with a will are originally the law that makes the soul cry.

Even more so, in the study of alchemy, said End Lord, who is said to be the best in the world.

It was his halo that I had no choice but to fall for even if I said bullshit.

“Professors. You know what? 80% of the students who applied for the basic studies of their major last semester chose another class.”

“Okay… … .”

“It was the same with the successor of the King of Darkness. The student, who is said to be an unprecedented genius in magic, showed interest in other subjects… … . How are you now? We have shown a wall that is too harsh.”

Endlord was right.

Oz gave up taking the alchemy course because of its exponential increase in difficulty.

That could be said to be the most chronic problem of ＜Skientia＞.

knowledge has been lost

“We must change. Don’t you think so?”

“… … you’re right.”

People began to appear in agreement with End Lord’s speech.

Of course, there were still more people who thought it was annoying.

They were professors who, like End Road in the past, were only giving classes for research funds.

They have good basic personality, but they are not the type to devote themselves to others. They were just that kind of professors.

“And the problem is not only that. There is also the fact that each color is too dark. To put it bluntly, current combat subjects are so different that if one professor does not continue the class, confusion will come.”

Everyone’s style is different.

Even if I tried to categorize it as much as possible and make it into a subject, I couldn’t help it that each professor had a different style.

But End Lord thought that he too could change.

“We need to explore a structured class method. The fact that the class itself is blocked just because one person has disappeared… … . Don’t you think it’s too bad?”

“No, that’s right!”

It was none other than Professor Aira who responded violently to those words.

As she became Prudence’s successor, she felt it keenly.

Her style was so different from today’s advanced magic students. In fact, it’s safe to say that I’m getting tangled up with things I’ve learned before.

“Systematization of education! It’s not just students who can learn from this. We have to find a way to do that for ourselves!”

Soon, the meeting room was filled with cheers like deterioration.

Similar appearance to the pseudo cult leader. End Road’s enthusiasm moved even the professor, who had been skeptical until now.

“Then let’s start right now. Creating a new curriculum! Each basic to intermediate subject is reorganized for students from other departments to create a new subject! Right Now!”

“like! no, … … Yeah?”

Ira, who was swept away by the atmosphere and answered, suddenly came to her senses. ‘Right Now’.

‘My subject is… … .’

Ira Merlin.

After being in charge of intermediate magic and advanced magic at the same time, she finally realized.

Things have grown exponentially.

* * *

End Road, who pushed his way forward, preached proudly of his achievements at the gathering place of the students.

“The major classes have been loved by all students so far.”

In a situation where the students focused on Professor N’s self-confident attitude as he raised his hand, only a few professors had a terrible look.

“The problem was that the specialization of the major classes was so outstanding that the barriers to entry were too high for students interested in other subjects.”

And some professors stared blatantly at Oz and Eleanor.

those are the guys It was they who lit the useless fire on End Lord.

“Rather than giving up on such students, all of our professors want to balance the class in a completely new way.”

for students? good night. But professors aren’t human either.

End Lord overlooked that.

Because he himself was so competent, he naturally changed the professors to the present progressive, saying that it would be okay.

“We plan to lower the barrier to entry by opening additional non-major courses other than majors with detailed explanations at the cost of somewhat lowering the level of expertise.”

But I couldn’t say anything about it. Aren’t they the best intellectuals from all over the world?

I couldn’t say no. Because the person who did it was right in front of me.

As long as they pride themselves on being the best, it has become a matter of pride.

“Of course, the existing specialized classes are also the same, so it will have little impact on students taking majors, but students who have used them to increase their relative evaluation ‘score’ in their desired subject will need a more difficult ‘selection’.”

Immediately after the meeting, End Road created a new curriculum for his subject.

It was everything from basic to advanced. He systematized all lessons in the subject of alchemy.

By the time the professors came to their senses belatedly, it was after the education system had already been completed.

In front of that overwhelming practical power, I couldn’t say that I couldn’t come now, even if I died.

-Professor N? please save me! I don’t want to die yet!

Of course, there were professors who were not.

Aira grabbed the crotch of her pants and begged, as if she didn’t care about the reputation of an elder-class wizard.

She didn’t want to die from overwork yet. But End Lord said firmly.

-hahahaha! Professor Aira, it’s okay. You can. If that’s the case, I’ll lend a hand, so let’s do our best together.

-no… … .

– You’ll be fine. Didn’t he even become an elder wizard at that age? There’s no way that Professor Aira, who is at a level that even I couldn’t reach, couldn’t do what I was able to do.

-… … .

Endrode dismissed most of the professors’ whines as a lack of confidence.

His remarks such as ‘It worked because I did it’ seemed to scrape away the professors’ pride as well as their values.

I can, you guys can’t? Aye, could it be? Is it the best in the country? can’t this

It sounds like that kind of provocation.

The professors had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow End Road.

It is not only individual pride that they carry on their shoulders. The national status of each country is at stake.

But they soon found out. This is not something people can do.

Intention is good. Obviously, the intention is good, but the time is too tight.

In the first place, this should have been done slowly and with time. It’s just weird to rip right away.

“Doesn’t that sound pretty cool? Everyone?”

The professors wanted to kill End Lord. If that’s not possible… … .

“I feel happy because there are a lot of eyes on me today.”

“It’s not a nice look… … .”

The [successor of the King of Sorcery] who ignited Endlord and the most troublesome child in the academy.

I will kill them both.

* * *

Although there was a temporary suspension of course registration, the class itself continued. There was a common class, and it seems that there was an opinion that each student should continue with their major.

Well, even though school started, it doesn’t make sense to be without classes.

Therefore, all I can hear is Intermediate Magic 2 at the moment.

This is Professor Aira’s class. If you think about Professor N’s remarks, he was also the professor who is going to be the most divided.

“… … Shall we go to practicality today? Let’s use [Gust Piercing], an intermediate magic we learned in the first semester, toward the target.”

“Professor Ira. The target is over there, not the side where Prince Oz is.”

“… … .”

As expected, Professor Aira was quite exhausted.

Seeing that he confuses the target with me, it must be that he has poor eyesight.

Surely it is.

“Then, why don’t Oz students demonstrate first?”

“… … I see.”

It’s embarrassing that my eyes are cloudy, but I’ve often received requests for demonstrations like this before.

No matter how much I was a student, my achievements didn’t disappear, so I often asked for a demonstration like this.

“I hope everyone is well. Because Oz students use intermediate magic better than me.”

“… … .”

No matter how much it was, he wouldn’t have put himself down like that and raised me up. Did he even get a head injury?

Whatever it is, I want to end this awkward situation as quickly as possible.

Unlike Eleanor, I don’t enjoy people’s stares.

In the past, I didn’t think that was too bad, but after experiencing many things recently, it’s just burdensome.

intermediate magic

[Gust Piercing]

[Gust Piercing] is a magic I use often. The time from deployment to magic completion is fast, and the power and speed are quite good.

But if there is a problem, is it that the range is rather narrow?

Well, that doesn’t matter to me with Oz’s mentality.

Fain!

[Gust Piercing] deployed at the same time penetrates the center of 5 prepared targets almost simultaneously.

“Ohhh!”

Well, with a performance like this, you won’t be ignored anywhere. I don’t think the audience’s reaction was bad either.

The image of Oz is completed by lightly shaking hands and turning around as if nothing happened. This should be it.

“Did you see it? Everyone.”

Professor Aira clapped her hands at my wonderful magic demonstration and walked out.

the eyes are weird It’s an eye I don’t want to see for as long as possible.

“It is rare to see such perfect intermediate magic.”

“… … Not quite like that.”

too much praise

Eleanor is the only person who can be genuinely happy with such blatant praise.

“I really don’t know why you’re taking Intermediate Magic. hahahaha.”

“… … .”

“Everyone, look at this. Doesn’t it seem like a really useless thing? … … Why did you do such a useless thing!”

“Professor Aira, calm down!”

Professor Aira, who suddenly has seizures, is stopped by the assistants waiting around.

It’s a fairly natural movement, probably because it’s happened often lately.

“why… … . Why baby!!”

Look at those lifelike eyes.

Is that really the Professor Aira I knew?

If I had been in the position of her benefactor until now, it seems that I have become some kind of crippled enemy now.

“Hmm, hmm… … . Professor Aira seems to be in a bad state today, so let’s continue the practice of intermediate magic next time, and we’ll end this class for now!”

The teaching assistants take care of Professor Aira, who is trying to thrust her cane at me as if in a fit, and retreat.

“… … .”

It seems that the situation is more dangerous than I expected.

* * *

Dangerous.

I felt it in Professor Aira’s class, but this is definitely a dangerous situation.

“Killed, killed, killed… … !”

“… … .”

Most of the passing professors are pouring curses at me as if they had an infectious disease.

“Ah, the Prince of Oz… … .”

“Lucia, a long time… … No, why are you like that again?”

Molgol is not a word.

“What happened?”

First time seeing this condition again. What the hell happened?

Do you feel worse than when you were in the Vatican?

“My older brother asked me about helping him with his work… … .”

“Ah, since you seem to understand even if you don’t listen, why don’t you stop?”

It must have been Discree’s idea to get closer.

The guy didn’t usually do foreign missions, and he himself probably didn’t know much about ordinary life above all else.

So, he must have wanted to share his ordinary life through his teaching job.

That would have been all he knew about.

However, due to Discre’s meticulous personality, it would have felt more like a graduate student than a family member.

But now the situation… … .

“I tried. I tried, and I was going to try harder. I’m sure I did my best, right? I could see that my brother was also trying to understand me. It was a good atmosphere. By the way… … .”

“No, it’s something I don’t want to hear anymore. Can I go now?”

Why did Marie and this guy also come up with topics that they can’t handle when I ask them out of concern?

“But one day, the atmosphere of my brother suddenly changed from a family-like atmosphere to a ‘family’ atmosphere, so he told me to investigate Professor End Rod’s weaknesses as much as possible… … .”

I once conceived that I would make Lucia pay for her crime for selling my picture.

“… … If Professor Endrode leaves Skientia, we’ll kill him. This isn’t a mission, it’s our common longing!”

“… … .”

It seems that she has already been punished enough.

Those are already the eyes of a thought criminal.
