As a result of the faculty meeting, it was decided to put the reorganization of the educational curriculum on hold.

Of course, the purpose was good, so the reorganization will continue.

However, it was concluded that this year and next year, the existing education system will be carried out, and the curriculum will be reformed in between moments.

“And you guys don’t get the idea that what happened is cooperation? It would have been much easier if the professors who taught the same subject did it head-to-head.”

“However, Professor End Rod alone taught the entire curriculum… … .”

“No, the purpose is to be able to convey the same content that someone taught? So, isn’t it wrong for that bastard of End Road to reorganize by himself?”

“… … .”

The professors bowed their heads at Tia’s absurd remark.

As the fatigue accumulated, the field of view was infinitely narrowed.

“In the first place… … No, it’s done. I’ve already concluded, I don’t want to argue about the problem, so I’m done with this.”

Tia waved her hands in annoyance and told the professors to shut up before saying that it was decided.

“And all of you are taking pay cuts for this semester. Have you had a good life? Do nonsense like this. Do you think I gave you too much support?”

Despite Tia’s unilateral notice, none of the professors protested.

It was natural.

The research funds and welfare benefits paid by Tia were the highest in the industry, even if they were cut in half.

It was better than being cut off.

* * *

By the time the one-week vacation was over.

Tia’s policy was conveyed to all students through the mouth of the student council president.

There were many evaluations among the students that they were disappointed, but since it was Tia’s decision, there was no backlash.

I came out of the crowd of students who were starting to get rowdy and headed for Diskra who might know the exact situation.

“You did a good job conciliating the hero. Discre Punisher, you are resourceful.”

before summer vacation ends. Justitia left Eleanor, who was no different from her younger sister, to travel.

The reason for traveling is to help people.

It was a part that showed how serious she was about the title [Hero].

But she, who should have gone on a trip, is in ＜Skientia＞.

She was adamant despite Eleanor’s earnest request, so I can only say that Discre’s skills are good.

“The process of persuading the warrior wasn’t that difficult.”

“yes? I am surprised.”

“Yes, I knelt down and bowed my head and begged, and he gladly listened.”

“… … .”

This kid is crazy

In a good way, it can be said that it is an efficiency-oriented judgment that completely excludes emotions as a soldier.

Still, isn’t it the head of a group, no, even excluding the aristocrats?

Maybe the weight of the head is too cheap? … … I don’t know. It seems like he’s satisfied, so it’s better not to say much.

“… … by the way. I didn’t even intend to disparage the price of your knee, but you said you paid that much?”

“You’d better hear it from yourself.”

“no it’s okay. Because if I meet you, something will bother me.”

“Have you called already?”

Why is this kid doing this? I think it’s broken? Where the hell did his usual cool and calm look go, and only the figure of the torturer remained?

Why are there so many gaps?

Blinking eyes while discree was awkward. Justitia appeared at the speed of light.

“Yes, yes, did you call? What will happen this time… … has Oz? hehehe, looks like you came here because you wanted to see this noona? It’s not even unique.”

“No, I didn’t even think about it. Still, I think it’s nice to see you again like this. We couldn’t even talk during the meeting.”

The conversation between Tia and Justitia was quite businesslike.

Do you intend to continue working in the future, if so, how long do you think it will be, how much salary do you want, etc.

It was difficult to talk to each other because such serious conversations came and went.

“Ah, that’s hard. Can I be hugged by my sister like I did before?”

“You’ve never been like that before, have you?” … .”

don’t fake it

If I had hugged her when she fell asleep, I would have hugged her, but I’ve never hugged her.

“Is it? Then you can hug me from now on.”

“no… … .”

Justitia hugged me without even listening to me.

Apparently, because I’m taller in terms of size, Justitia looks like she’s hanging on to me.

I honestly don’t feel bad.

But wouldn’t it be rude to ignore someone’s intentions?

… … Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to resist. I can’t help it because there’s no way I can withstand her strength just because I resist.

Oh, I really can’t help it.

What a pity. Well.

“How are you and Noah these days?”

“Even if you ask me how… … .”

“Huh? Hasn’t the relationship changed significantly? Hmm. Yes, that’s right.”

what is this feeling?

It’s kind of creepy because I feel like an animal being chased by a hunter.

“That… … . What brought you to Skientia? Discre… … I heard the professor got down on his knees, but that’s not all, right?”

“I came because I wanted to see you and Noah.”

“Ah, yes. Is that so?”

Of course, that can’t be all.

Because if we wanted to see each other in the first place, we wanted to be together then.

For her, getting a job at ＜Skientia＞ wouldn’t have been a problem.

In fact, didn’t Tia also hire her on the spot without undergoing any special verification against her?

[Hero] can never be false. This is because only those who were able to sacrifice themselves for the sake of countless others are called [heroes].

It’s a difficult thing to say in front of others. Fortunately, if it’s a discreet, you should be able to read that kind of atmosphere.

… … you can read it right?

“It wouldn’t be nice to interrupt the long-awaited meeting. I will be away for a while.”

“Wow, thank you. Professor Discre. From now on, I was thinking of going over the stairs of adulthood with my cute boyfriend, but that’s great.”

“… … Please be careful not to let the noise leak into the surroundings.”

“yes~.”

Discre, who has finished grasping the atmosphere in an instant, leaves.

No, but what excuse is that? I’m ashamed of everything. More than that, I’m afraid to handle the aftermath that will come if that word leaks out.

“Um, how about it?”

Justitia tilted her head at the sight of Discre leaving.

Justitia should know that Tia’s surveillance system is in this place.

Wasn’t he the one who was able to accurately distinguish only the pursuer from among the villagers’ worth of people, even when he was cursed in the first place?

It wouldn’t be a problem to read the remnants of magic flowing in this space.

However, inside ＜Skientia＞, it is difficult to avoid Tia’s eyes completely no matter where you go.

“Fine. It’s because the head of the academy is heavier than I thought. And I will try to avoid bothersome things, so I will listen with one ear and let it go with the other.”

“yes? After all, he was a cute person and seemed like a kind person. yes.”

Justitia, as if reminding me of Tia’s figure, smiled and clung to me.

With her chin resting on my shoulder like that, Justitia whispered in my ear in a quiet voice just in case there was someone else.

“Actually, I saw a couple of strange groups while traveling. I was debating whether or not to tell you, but Schientia asked for help, so I asked for it in a hurry.”

“It was spontaneous.”

“… … Well, the look of the person who came to ask for a favor made me feel like the village headman who feels responsible for the village being taken over by monsters.”

It is a very specific description.

Was the taste of the discre that far?

It seems that she was pitiful enough to meet her criteria for moving for the suffering weak.

If it’s a strange group than that, there’s a lot to guess. In the first place, there are too many dubious organizations in this world.

If it was only that much, there would be no reason for her to come all the way here.

“There must be a lot of strange guys.”

There are also two suspicious groups that have ties to me.

One is ＜Tenebris＞, who works in the shadows right away.

The other is ＜parade＞ led by Janus.

“Yeah, but… … . You and I seemed pretty deep. I know because I also investigated you in my own way.”

She whispered secretly, hugging me so deeply that I could feel her heartbeat through her skin.

“Do you remember the name ‘Prudence Loa’?”

“… … .”

I had no idea that the name would pop up here.

This is the name of the person who gave me an opportunity to set my direction and a deferral of time.

“Anyway, it seems that there are quite a few people who are indebted to him. They were looking for you.”

“The reason is?”

“I don’t know either. But some of them seemed hostile.”

“Didn’t you mention someone else’s name? Like ‘Ira Merlin’ or ‘Marie Sistus’.”

“… … They are all female names. Is Oz still popular? My sister is trying to be a little upset.”

“Even if you say so… … .”

The known end of Prudence Roa is more accurate than expected.

Even if he tried to cover it up, he said that the flame of [Prometheus], his transcendent magic, could be seen even from the empire beyond ＜Skientia＞, so there was no help.

His cause of death is that he tried to steal a test subject for research, and he was killed while Me, Professor Aira, and Marie stopped it.

The important part is hidden, but the rest is all true.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t say anything except for you.”

“Um… … . I understand for now.”

Externally, it is said that Professor Aira killed Prudence Loa, and in reality, however, they don’t seem to believe it.

I’m still lacking, but… … . Considering the evaluation of the original, Oz, it makes sense.

“thank you. Hero Justitia. Thanks to that, I think I can avoid being beaten without knowing.”

“If you’re grateful, would you like me to stop talking hard? Come to think of it, we even kissed, right?”

“I didn’t do it, didn’t I get unilaterally?”

“no? Aren’t you curious about the second group? is there any difficulty? Can you call me sister?”

“… … sister.”

“great. very good!”

As if she liked Justitia, she tangled my hair while hugging me.

It’s incredibly burdensome.

“The second was things that weren’t human. Contrary to the appearance on the outside, the inside was a mess. Did you stir up people with strange words?”

“Luckily, they seem like people you know. It’s better than having a guy pop out of nowhere.”

It matches the characteristics of ＜Parade＞.

If you are even instigating people, you are an executive.

“Hero, Justi… … .”

“Is it hard?”

“… … sister.”

“What, are you satisfied with this much now? Because it starts with the original title.”

I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m glad it’s like this.

It would have been quite annoying if others caught the scene of talking with her casually.

In fact, this posture is dangerous in many ways, but… … .

“therefore? Where did you see it?”

Justitia drew a picture on my back with her index finger as if it were a map. don’t know if you do that

She also said it as if it was a joke.

“Speller.”

“Which one?”

“Um… … .”

Tok, tok.

Her fingers tap my back again.

“both.”

“Oops.”

Really, it is clear that fate is trying to harm me.

It seems like the situation keeps sending me to ＜Spelling＞, but all sorts of human groups are gathering.

It’s not like you’re holding a gosa to go and search, isn’t it too much?

“thank you for the information. Justitia’s older sister. So now this… … .”

“Yeah, a little more.”

Justitia’s hug continued for about five minutes after that.

Despite the shameful thing aside, it’s autumn that will be closer to winter.

It was hot.

The heat of the spina is increasing to the point where you can feel it.

* * *

The first day that classes are back to normal.

Eleanor, who would normally have sat in the front row to attract attention, came to sit next to me on a rare occasion.

“Master, do you know who I met today?”

“Hero Justitia?”

“Annit! How did you know that?! He is also a master. Have you ever seen the future?!”

I know because I met you first.

And in a sense, it is also true that we are looking into the future.

However, it seems that Eleanor was locked in a small room somewhere while I was wandering around.

It’s strange to see… … ? Why didn’t this kid have an accident?

“If you know, there is less need to explain. Master, that’s what I mean. I am trying to learn the sword.”

“Are you still learning?”

“It’s not a greatsword, it’s an ordinary longsword.”

What’s wrong with this guy?

It’s insane to come to the current situation and change weapons.

“In fact, I chose the greatsword because it is made of the most expensive and durable metal when escaping the capital.”

“It was for secular reasons.”

“I would have to sell it to raise money in case it happened.”

It was the reason why I cried when I saw it again.

I was more prepared for the worst than I thought.

Fortunately, the situation didn’t go to the worst, so it sounds like they started writing it as it is… … .

Still, I’m not sure if having an R-level ability is talent, or if it’s the difference in education I’ve received.

“Well, the original greatsword was broken… … .”

“sorry.”

“No, Master. You have nothing to apologize for. Aren’t weapons supposed to break if you use them harshly?”

If I had to pick the culprit behind her greatsword being broken, it would be me. I confronted her, who should have stayed still, with Kang Chul.

In the original work, there was no reason to be so dangerous because Kang Chul delivered an unexpected blow at the point of exhaustion.

“Master, I know how strong the monster I have to fight is.”

Eleanor has experienced many defeats through this expedition.

“King Kwon said that with a greatsword, strength is more important than technique.”

Perhaps something within her has changed, as she has often felt a lack of strength.

“But I am not very strong. I think it will take finesse to flip one in a row.”

thoughts deepened

Trying to make up for the lack by finding various ways.

You won’t know if that’s right until you experience it yourself.

“So. teacher. For the time being, I am going to concentrate on training with the help of Youth.”

Eleanor is trying to change in a direction that was not in the original work.

“Then do it. I’ll take care of this on my own.”

“This job? What else is going on?”

“There is such a thing.”

Originally, I was thinking of solving Chapter 7 of the main story without this guy’s help. I had no intention of being drunk in such a comfortable situation.

From the growth of my body to the resolution of the main story.

If you do all of that, that’s it.

Because I have a goal that should be possible.

Originally, the flow of the main story, chapter 7, ends with Tia meeting Harbart and asking for help due to Eleanor’s persistent persuasion.

In other words, it is a story that Eleanor rolls hard. But now she is trying to find a new way.

“If possible, bring clear results. Eleanor. Then I will praise you.”

“Oh, it’s pretty rare when it’s a compliment from a master. Then shall we try?”

So this time I bet on Eleanor’s growth.
