Episode 51. glass (1)

Carol, who had been kicked out of the house, would be depressed, but I was sad too.

Even though three weeks later, the second part of the novel and the midterm exam season for the first semester, he had no idea how to improve Yuri’s specs.

While suffering from such a headache, even Carol, who I never thought I would be involved with, started to care… .

‘Sir, what is there to worry about? Isn’t it very strong when I use my tinnitus on Yuri?’

‘No, I’m anxious. The more I look at it, the more I look at it now, the more it doesn’t look like the original glass. It should be seen as a completely different person, but then there is no guarantee that Yuri will be able to use the same unique magic as the original, just because she uses my alias… .’

The word that describes the original glass is ‘confidence’.

As a freshman in Class E, he asks for a magic duel with Darby, a 3rd year student, and even risking his life to fight with Peter, the head of the Holy Knights, for Karin.

He is the main character of an eternally hot-blooded growth story.

By the way… . The main character of this novel, who has to grow up over seemingly impossible adversity with unfounded courage, has recently been quite depressed.

Just looking at this class, I could clearly feel the change.

In the original story, Yuri was a bright child who was often scolded by professors, but quickly forgot about it and tried to learn more.

With that spirit of challenge, I was able to finally win the first grade in one semester.

Looking at Yuri’s sulk to the point where I feel sorry for being scolded for talking a little today, it seems that there must be another problem that I don’t know about.

Going this way, the highlight of the midterm episode.

Instead of fighting in a duel with ‘Eugene Navida’, the first year chief of the Ministry of Magic, and winning, he will lose without even buying her attention.

So I tried to focus on growing Yuri from tomorrow, but I couldn’t leave Carol alone.

‘Because it’s my fault that he was abandoned.’

“Karl, have you eaten?”

“… Nope.”

“Leen.”

“Yes, I will prepare for you two.”

Carol’s expression, sitting with her knees together in front of me, looked darker because of her blonde hair.

Like students who run away from home, he couldn’t keep his hands still because he was very nervous.

Even if there are some things I don’t like, it’s the family I grew up in, and my mother who believed in me.

I got out of that embrace, and I was placed in an environment where I was not sure where to sleep, but I couldn’t feel comfortable.

I also went out of the house a few times when I was young, so I know that anxiety well.

“I had a brief contact with your mother last night. For the sake of your future, he asked me not to listen to my lectures.”

“really… .”

“My mother’s request was rejected based on school rules. I said that there is no provision that the opinions of guardians are reflected in course registration and cancellation. I told you that the only way is to convince you directly… . Did this happen in the end?”

In response to my answer, she hung up the phone after saying that she would do her best in the line where parents could intervene.

In fact, after the phone call, I got the feeling that this could happen. Overprotection of children is a common story even in the place where I originally worked.

‘Coming to think of it, it’s kind of strange.’

I didn’t expect to receive parents’ claims first in the novel.

“Don’t worry too much. I will be responsible for you.”

“responsibility… What?”

“The situation you are in right now is not something you alone created. As an educator, it is also my fault for not reassuring and convincing my mother. Carol, I’ll fill that role until you find your guardian. So there is no need to be so anxious.”

“… It happened because of my stubbornness. I am responsible for-”

“This is just a natural duty as a professor. I am not in debt to you, nor am I giving you sympathy. To tell you in advance, I will not accept rejection.”

Just then, Rien loaded the cart with dinner and entered the room.

I usually only order simple and easy-to-eat menus, but today the table setting was more colorful than usual.

However, Carol in front of her seemed to have no appetite. Looking at his skinny body, he seems to eat less than usual, but looking at his trembling hands and eyes, he seems to feel burdened by all of this.

A child who has left home often sees himself as a burden.

Even if someone tries to help and embrace you, if you continue to look for help, you will notice and feel guilty that you will abandon yourself as a burden.

‘… Because I did.’

“Is it very difficult? If you want, I can call your father as soon as the meal is over.”

“that’s… . no.”

As I was watching Carol, Rien and I briefly met eyes. Before Carol let go of the fork, I nodded.

“do whatever you want. Could you please explain why? If you don’t want to talk, it’s okay not to.”

“In such a pitiful way… . I can’t go see my father. So, just like my mother said, I will face the wind and rain.”

I don’t know where Carol, who is the head of the department and is ranked 3rd overall in the Ministry of Magic, looks pathetic.

If I had to dare to guess why Carol was thinking that way, wouldn’t it be because her pride wouldn’t allow the situation that the reason she was visiting her father after 10 years was because she was kicked out by her mother?

Then, after thinking about what to do and not speaking for a long time, Carol spoke to me for the first time.

“By the way, the professor knew about our family situation.”

“I apologize if I offended you.”

“no. It’s amazing that you’re interested in students… . And, well. I’ll call my father. I can’t be a nuisance to the professor by being stubborn.”

“… I wanted to respect your doctor, but realistically, that’s for the best. The most ideal direction is for you and your mother to have a period of time to cool off your overheated emotions, and to resolve the conflict through dialogue after sufficiently clarifying each other’s positions… .”

Momentarily, Rien, who was quietly looking at Carol’s plate from behind, immediately continued my words.

“If I send Master Carol to my father, wouldn’t my mother be very offended? If that happens, eventually the conflict between the young master and the mother will grow to the point where it will be difficult to reverse.”

“exactly… . It could be.”

“Then what about this one?”

* * *

Carol, who stayed up late focusing on her assignments until night, was awakened by a cautious knock.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. I felt strange.

Normally, he would have read a magic book while lying on the futon, but Carol got up quickly.

It wasn’t until she heard Carol make the bed that Rien opened the door, followed by a fragrant breakfast.

“Good morning, Master Carol.”

“hello.”

This is the guest bedroom in the staff dormitory.

Although there is a fee, there are few customers who come to this place, so it is practically empty.

Besides, there is no rule that students cannot use it, so Rien had advised that if Ian paid only the usage fee, there would be no problem for Carol to use it.

‘No, I can’t live on like that. Being a nuisance to others because of my problem, and opening my hands… . I don’t think so either.’

‘I’m not trying to tell you that you can stay here without any conditions. If you pay the price of living here, the young master won’t be too uncomfortable.’

The maids who had followed Lien arranged various books and papers on Carol’s desk. All of them were materials to be used in the basic magic class.

‘Why don’t you stay here on the condition that I help the professor prepare for class? In fact, it is unknown whether the school will assign a teaching assistant to the professor.’

Although Ian was busy enough without classes because he was conducting various researches such as ponds and Bible interpretation at the same time, he was producing materials alone to help students understand.

In addition, from now on, I had to grade assignments submitted by students and consult with students who came to me with questions.

Ordinary professors would have already been handling the workload alone, enough to cause fainting.

‘To sum it up, Master Carl is living in the faculty dormitory on the condition that he serve as Professor Ian’s temporary assistant. I’m saying it because it doesn’t sound like a bad condition for the two of you.’

As she said, Professor Ian seemed to be very tired.

I thought I would like to help him if he is in need of this kind of help. In the end, Carol, who decided to follow Rien’s suggestion, apologized to her as she quietly moved breakfast to the table.

“Sorry, Professor Ian alone must have been overwhelmed, but I made you worry too… .”

“You don’t have to think so. I’m grateful to the boy for accepting my opinion. Professor Ian needed to relieve some of the burden and responsibility given to him.”

Lien kept moving the food on the table, saying that she might really collapse if she did this.

‘Rien, you’re going to take care of me and Carol at the same time? Your business will increase.’

‘Until you adapt to the job as a teaching assistant, you need a servant by your side.’

‘You don’t have to do that-‘

‘Professor’s health care is also one of my duties.’

‘but… .’

‘This is the best way to reduce the current overload.’

‘… Well.’

Carol looked at Rien’s eyes while biting the salad into her mouth.

She was more resolute than she looked, and it seemed that Professor Ian was being held captive by her.

Contrary to the rumors that he was a devil or an incarnation, Professor Ian after class had a bit of a human side to him.

After knowing that, I was rather relieved.

If Professor Ian is having a hard time preparing for class, there’s enough reason for you to help him.

By the way. The maid, who was stubborn even towards the cool-headed Professor Ian, was watching Carol as if she was eating.

Somehow, a feeling of uneasiness passed by.

“I… . I ate them all.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah… ?”

“Brother, I am responsible for managing the health of those in charge.”

“Wait… .”

The introverted Carol couldn’t resist Rien’s stubbornness, who shook her head, saying that she was too thin for her age.

“I’m full… .”

In the end, after all the dishes had been emptied, Rien left with a smile on his side.

‘This is what it meant!’

Yuri was able to understand the contents of the sorcery class held in the third period only after listening to Professor Ian’s class.

However, the joy of understanding the contents of the class was short-lived.

Even during the 10-minute break in the middle of class, Yuri suffered from the headache of having to suffer from Professor Ian’s assignments.

“Jun… ! Can you check this out?”

“uh… . Would you like to give it a try?”

The result of trying to reduce sleep.

I was able to finish about half of the assignment before I knew it. It would be difficult to modify a magic formula without reference materials, so I first choose the easiest magic formula and refer to it.

‘I wouldn’t have come this far without Jun.’

Yuri was curious about Jun. How could he have studied alone and entered Class B without the help of magic instructors?

“Oh, I was wrong here.”

“Ouch!”

‘Maybe I needed more talent for magic than free magic?’

Karin, who lived a life that had nothing to do with magic, received a little help from Jun and immediately succeeded in transforming into magic, and is now challenging a slightly more difficult transformation.

‘… am i stupid Maybe so.’

Yuri felt a wall as he placed the magic ceremony in front of Jun.
