Episode 4. goddess

The Mint student nodded his head and thanked him, then hopped through the hallway and left the mage tower.

I carefully closed the office door, staring blankly at her blue bow hairpin that seemed to be fluttering in the distance.

And I was sure.

‘after! It was almost perfect!’

Acting as an ordinary aristocratic professor, I ended up doing it… !

To be honest, I was very taken aback when a Mint student pushed me with a resignation letter saying it was a simple request, but in the end I managed to sort it out well and send it off.

Even though I was improvising, if this is enough, I wonder if I actually had a talent for acting?

Didn’t you think you should learn instead of being a teacher?

Just like the Mint student, he hardened his expression and straightened his shoulders.

I am a noble professor. Ian Laver.

A wizard with the soul of a nearly 30-year-old high school English teacher… . nobility… . professor… .

“What are you doing… .”

When the Mint student smiled and left, the office left alone instantly became quiet.

A silence overtook me, and at the same time a heavy feeling of shame crept in. I felt a sense of shame to the extent that even if I died right away, I would not have any spare time.

‘John… . this is right? Thirty soon?’

“What noble am I? He’s never been out of a semi-basement room before.”

I just lay down on the desk. Nobles and what, no one. What do you think?

I calmed down for a while and sorted things out.

First of all, I sent the Mint student back well, and I got a sense of how I should play Professor Ian. that was great

I somehow got involved with one of the students, but that probably isn’t a big factor. I am a character who only appears briefly in the novel by name, and the Mint student is a character whose name does not even appear.

To be honest, at first I thought I would just dump her. It’s cruel, but it’s actually true if you’re going to stick with this cold-blooded teaching concept.

It’s a pity, but my nose is three, and I couldn’t risk my life to help the existence of the novel. however.

‘Still, he knew a lot of things I didn’t.’

The dark side of this novel, which I did not know much about.

I was aware of the fact that this school had a certain level of merit supremacy.

However, as she said, I, as a reader and editor, did not know that professors were openly discriminating against inferior students to this extent.

The main character of this novel starts the first semester of the first year in E class, but overcomes the hardships pretty quickly. That’s why you couldn’t see the description that there was a lot of discrimination against inferior students.

In other words, there were not many opportunities to look at this novel from the point of view of an inferior student. Just as I did not know that in order to be expelled from this school, the consent of the same department professor was required, there was a blind spot in the world of this novel that I was not familiar with.

The idea that it would be okay if I figured out another side of this school that I didn’t know about through a Mint student who was full of dissatisfaction with the school… It also seems a bit far-fetched.

It’s just that he’s a sophomore, so he’s the same age as the kids in my second class. It seems that I was helping without even realizing it.

‘Ah, it shouldn’t be like this.’

As expected, the acting of Professor Noble doesn’t seem to suit me. cringe! Terrible!

Do I have to live like this forever?

Can I not go crazy?

“Oh My God… Oh God… ”

“Did you call?”

I thought my heart would stop.

A woman’s voice came from an empty room.

when did you come in?

Was it hidden from the beginning… !

I immediately jumped up from my desk.

Control your expression, take a deep breath. Deep breath… . Then he pretended to look around the room calmly.

I was so flustered that I could feel my arms shaking even though I desperately clenched my fists. A cold sweat springs up.

Anyone could see that he had lost his composure, and if others saw it, he would probably look very funny, but he asked as quietly as he could.

You can’t give up until the end.

“Who are you?”

“Ahahahahaha! You don’t have to do that in front of me… !”

“Ask again. Who are you?”

“Did you call me? It is a goddess.”

“… ?”

no can’t it?

I looked back at the small statue of the goddess tucked away in the corner of the room.

“Are you looking at me now?”

“… Wait, this is from the real goddess statue.”

“Yes! nice to meet you. Ian Laver… . Oh, isn’t this?”

“You then… !”

“Teacher Kim Yohan! It’s a humble place I made it, but welcome!.”

Hearing my name caught my breath.

“Elma… ?”

The god of light that created this world, and the goddess of creation. Elma.

The statue of the goddess that imitated her answered.

“Yep! I thought you would know! You may be confused by the sudden flight, but please save this world!”

I immediately picked up the goddess statue and threw it against the wall.

* * *

The wooden statue of the Goddess hit the wall as it was and was split in two.

This baby, who has nothing to do with it, drags without words?

“Kweeng… .”

“Have you dealt with… ?”

“I won’t die even if it splits in half.”

“Good. Needless to say, quickly send me back to where I used to live.”

“That’s kind of… . uh… .”

“Let go! I don’t have time to be here like this. I have kids in charge. You can call other unemployed people here and use them!”

“No, listen… . I want to do that, but I can’t send it back… . It’s not ‘not’, it’s ‘can’t’.”

“What?”

My eyes went dark.

The statue of the goddess, which was split in half, kept silent for a moment as if watching me, and I sat down on the chair as it was.

… Alright, let’s start with understanding the situation.

“okay. Keep talking.”

“I’ll make sure of this. I am. teacher. I never brought you here.”

“Isn’t it you who brought me here?”

“Yeah. All I know is that poor Professor Ian’s soul has been ejected from his body and is currently wandering the Nine Heavens.”

“no… .”

“It is pitiful. I was living a fine life. The teacher’s bed might be a little wild. But as long as I’m by your side, I won’t do anything wrong. Should I sleep hugging the statue of the Goddess?”

I wanted to make a quarter of the Harp Goddess Statue, which only fluttered with useless and unpleasant information, but I managed to endure it.

“Why don’t you know that? You really don’t know who sent me here?”

“Yeah.”

“You don’t even know how to return to the world I used to live in?”

“Yeah!”

“Are you a goddess?”

“Yeah!!”

“No, I don’t mean that… . She’s a goddess, but can’t do that much?”

“Don’t you know that I’m neither omnipotent nor perfect? You know that this is a misunderstanding caused by people with a lot of imagination believing it on their own.”

“… Yes, it was.”

It was the most important secret in the world view of this novel. The truth of this world that only the gods know so far.

A goddess is not an absolute being.

Clearly there was such a setting.

Besides, knowing my real name, there seemed no doubt that it was Elma I was talking to.

He crumpled his face and set the half statue of the goddess on the desk.

“… Goddess. Will you be respectful?”

“No, with that face, what… . You know all about my personality.”

The first creator, Elma. Or Elma, the goddess of light.

Humans call her that, but she herself calls herself ‘the dancing god’.

Elma gave birth to the world, but did not move it according to her will. She affirmed perfect randomness and chaos, and acknowledged that order was freely established in that chaos.

Even if the order created in this way existed for a long time and was swallowed up again by chaos and returned to nothingness, it was also regarded as providence.

The character of Elma, who has kept the ‘principle of non-interference’, that she just enjoys the world as if dancing, was set up to be like a child who is new to everything.

When I first heard it, I thought it was pretty good… .

‘I’m open… .’

If I get out of here, I’ll have to fix everything right away.

The goddess statue spoke to me again, probably feeling something like living.

“Close your face. Let’s solve it through our conversation.”

“yes. But didn’t you ask me to save the world? And you didn’t kidnap me here?”

“Do I look like the kind of goddess who will catch a living person in good shape over something like that!? Actually, the fact that you flew here is not a good thing for me either. I’m in tears right now too?”

“Why are you again?”

“Can you understand the feelings of a goddess who lived her whole life as a creator and then suddenly found out that she was a creature?”

“… .”

“When you come out of here, please tell the writer instead! make it a little more sexy Even when I think about it, I am too childish.”

‘You don’t know how I feel.’ I didn’t know what to say to the Creator who screamed at me.

I certainly never thought of it that way. If one day you suddenly find out that I was a character in a novel… . I felt like I couldn’t stay sane either.

‘The other side is also in a state of confusion, but was it trying to have a conversation with me, who is full of temper anyway?’

With that thought, I felt a little inclined to talk with Elma. If you keep tickling, it’s just a waste of time.

“yes. I didn’t think of that. sorry about that.”

“I will understand with the heart of a goddess. And what about saving the world? Actually, this is because the real world is in trouble right now?”

“Okay, let’s talk.”

“If this happens, the real world may end.”

“Even destruction can be a form of chaos. If it is a world that has become an eternally silent ruin with nothing left, you can say that order has been established by looking at it. Didn’t you renounce the world for all kinds of chaos and order?”

“… But, I didn’t want the world to come to a complete end like that. Order creates chaos, and chaos creates order, and the world continues to change… . I don’t like empty spaces that don’t change like that.”

“yes. In the end, don’t you want to see the world completely destroyed?”

“Because my child is dying… . So no matter how much I have followed the principle of non-intervention, I think I need to break it a little this time… .”

“anyway. The world may end now. you hate that therefore?”

“Because the teacher took possession of me out of the blue while I was completely distracted by such a burst of hopelessness. Isn’t the timing great for this? Don’t you feel like a savior who appeared at the moment of crisis? To be honest!?”

“You are a goddess, but how can you have a simpler idea than a human?”

“It’s not reasonable. Still, it is true that things that shouldn’t happen keep happening. uh? If you think about it like this, teacher Yohan Kim’s possession could be one of the dead birds!”

I felt bad for some reason, but I decided to just move on.

“Save the world… . What if I refuse?”

“Then what is each other’s loss?”

How the hell do you know that word?

“If I don’t help you, won’t you help me too?”

“I didn’t even call the teacher, that’s right. Now that the world is on the brink of destruction, my head hurts and I’m too busy to die. Do you want me to help refugees from another world for nothing?”

“Oh yeah… . She is a benevolent goddess.”

“It is unavoidable. In my free time, I would have helped out for fun, but… . Take care of yourself and go back to the other world you used to live in. Why don’t you jump into the oncoming carriage?”

“ha… . How could a fairy be more benevolent and competent than a goddess… .”

“Ugh! That is blasphemy!”

“It’s done. Then, if I at least try to prevent destruction, what can you do for me?”

“I have to do everything I can. You seem to be having a hard time settling down right now, but I’ll do my best from there. how about it?”

“Now that we are in crisis, let’s cooperate?”

“Right!”

Now I’m not in a position to be blindsided. And most importantly.

“Goddess can’t lie, right?”

“Yeah! So trust me. She’s not the kind of goddess who sucks the warrior’s spine and then shames her in the back.”

“Okay, then let’s talk about the details… .”

“Should I do that next time?”

I was going to ask what you were talking about.

smart-

with a monotonous knock.

“Professor Ian. This is Lien, the exclusive maid. It’s 20 minutes before the supplemental lecture I mentioned.”

The blue sky wall has fallen.

* * *

“Before, I was distracted by the burdens. Can you explain the situation again?”

I listened to the situation explained again by the maid named Rien.

Professor Goo Nine of the Department of Magical Linguistics was away because he had to report an urgent research to the Imperial Society.

He was in the middle of a supplemental class for the first year class, ‘Mana and Magic Language’, feeling like a seasonal semester, so he needed a professor to fill the void he was away on a business trip.

Since the semester hadn’t even started yet, other professors in the department were concentrating on research in private labs outside the suburbs, or they said they were so busy that they couldn’t afford to spend even 10 minutes preparing for the new semester.

If it’s a supplementary class in the second semester… Because it’s winter. Considering that it was around January or February by the standards of the world I lived in, it was understandable.

Young professors will be risking life and death to successfully present their research achievements at the conference held in the spring, and other professors will stay up all night to welcome and evaluate the new Golden Horseman students, including the protagonist of the novel.

The weekly faculty meeting is also temporarily suspended, and the situation is so hectic that the maintenance of order in the school is left to the student council for a while.

The soldering iron came over to Ian, a new professor who had nothing to do.

‘It might be confusing because it’s a lecture that I took on suddenly, but it’s the most basic theory class among the classes in the second semester of the first year, and the class time is short, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.’

After receiving Hadley’s remarks, my hands began to sweat.

“Nothing. Where is the classroom?”

“The ‘Mana and Mado Language’ lecture will be held in the main auditorium. Sophomores who had low grades last year are taking the class.”

“The Great Auditorium?”

“Yeah. Because the intended audience for the course is all first-year students.”

It was a big deal. It seems like this is a compulsory liberal arts subject.

As an aristocratic professor, I have to be cool in any situation, so I endured even wanting to click ‘tsk-‘ and just asked indifferently.

“How many people are in the make-up class?”

“Eighty people.”

80 people!?

There are too many for the first class. To debut like this without any preparation… ?

Is this right? To the person who just arrived at this school?

“is it. leave now Guide me.”

“Yeah. Right after cleaning the office… .”

“never mind.”

“Yeah.”

I noticed that Rien’s eyes were moving to the statue of the goddess that was split in half.

“I dropped it.”

“Ah yes. I’ll clean it up right after work and bring you a new one.”

I kicked out the door without answering, and Rien chased after me.

And… . Soon after, I put her in front. Come to think of it, I should have been guided.
