Episode 85. Professor (3)

“… So, even though it’s 4 hours before this consultation. I am practicing how to speak with others by myself.”

“shallot… .”

Immediately after leaving the office to Carol, sitting on the bed and listening to Elma’s relay.

I came to a brief conclusion.

“You were a girl in the corner of the room.”

He seemed to show a strong appearance in front of other vampires and Esca’s followers who did not stimulate his own vampirism.

Conversely, it seemed to be frightened of those who did not.

Feeling fear from the prey of the past… . It might be difficult for a human like me to understand, but considering the fact that vampires are a race that fears their inner nature more than death, it wasn’t that strange.

“If Charlotte was a real coward, she would have been busy running away from the runaway Louis.”

In the original story, Louis, who turned into a vampire who forgot his faith and became a dipel, was a different monster to the point of completely destroying one of the mage towers in the school with just a few sword attacks.

Charlotte single-handedly confronted him to the brink of death, securing time for the students around him to evacuate.

This was possible because she had the dignity, strength and courage that she would not be ashamed of as the next head of the Aberdeen family.

“Sir, by the way.”

“Yes, I was waiting.”

Elma, who had snorted at me for cheating again whenever I brought up the original story, did not disappoint my expectations this time and walked away.

“… While you’ve been here, nothing has ever flowed the original way. Could something be wrong again? Did you get caught up in a serious incident that changed your personality like that?”

“That won’t be it. When I looked at the student record, it was written that he hadn’t come out well since he just entered school.”

Even from the attendance sheet I checked last night, I could confirm that she had been sick quite often since the beginning of the semester, and that she hadn’t even participated in the duel evaluation.

It was difficult to see that Charlotte, who had been isolating herself from various events outside under the blanket, faced an opportunity for her personality to change significantly during her school life because of me.

I can’t help but think that he showed that kind of appearance in front of humans in the original work.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that, so I’m embarrassed, but… . I think I know one thing though.”

“What?”

“The reason Charlotte asked Dana for counseling and not me.”

“uh? What is it? Teach me too.”

“I am human, but Dana is a dragon.”

Vampires, who were said to have waged war against the Rang tribe by advancing to the ‘Arc’ in the center of the snowfield in search of prey, passed by without even looking at the dragon’s nest.

Do you instinctively feel that you are a different being… . Mad with hunger, they brutally bit the beasts of the forest, humans, and even Sharp who descended from the mountain. The only thing they feared was the dragon.

“So maybe Charlotte didn’t feel the vampirism from Dana?”

Even though Dana is in human form, if she hadn’t cheated on her vampire nature.

For Charlotte, she may be the only professor on campus who doesn’t arouse her vampirism.

“If that’s the reason, I guess I have no choice but to leave this counseling to Dana.”

“Can I trust you? According to the teacher, there would be no problem with her fighting Louis even if she left Charlotte alone, but what if the child’s personality suddenly changes strangely after counseling?”

“Hmm… . No, I don’t think it’ll ruin things though. Although she may be a bit inexperienced as she has no counseling experience, Dana will do the best she can. At least that won’t make things worse.”

“You speak with great confidence.”

“Isn’t that worth it?”

Dana, who has been through many things together as a fellow professor since last winter vacation until now.

Even at the time he flew to my private room with an invitation that gave me goosebumps just by reading it, he was an idiot who exactly matched his first impression of a bad boy.

‘How are you, junior? Are you foolish? This school is such a place.’

‘Actually, everywhere in the world is like this. All humans are like this.’

It was like a bomb that went beyond this school and became disillusioned with human beings themselves, not knowing when they would explode.

‘but.’

When I heard that she had followed me to open a D-class class and accepted Charlotte’s request for counseling, I was convinced.

That she has changed in a way that can have a little better influence on students.

The shadow of her that I had glimpsed for a while at that time had faded a lot, I could feel it quite often these days.

“At first, I thought it was fun to turn this school upside down, so I thought it was helping me. I don’t think that’s all anymore.”

Dana is a key factor in the reversal in the second half that Ayoung directly acknowledged, and I, as an editor, have no information about it other than that she is a dragon.

If you don’t like school and people, you can just go back to the nest, and I still haven’t guessed why you’re staying here.

“When I seriously brought up the topic of student counseling yesterday, I felt that it was definitely on my side. It’s my own circumstances, the day will come when I hear it, well.”

“I think what I’m doing is the same as before… .”

“I’m an eccentric from the start, but I’m determined to be more eccentric with people I don’t like. In the past, that subject was all on campus, but now it seems to have been reduced to people like Vice-Professor Hadley.”

I’d treat Charlotte well, so there seemed to be no reason for me to get involved in Dana’s counseling.

If I were free right now, I would have tried to help indirectly, but in fact, it’s not the time to worry about others right now.

After telling Elma to call if anything happened, I hurriedly prepared to return to the office.

“It’s a big deal, do you have three days left?”

The snowflake theory that Carol had been studying since before the midterm exams.

Just as snowflakes that look the same actually fall from the sky with their own unique shape… . The hypothesis that a single magic formula could produce an infinite variety of results was proven by Carol himself through a magic duel with Holden.

‘Professor Ian, there’s something I’d like to ask of you.’

But, not long after that. The Imperial Academy sent a love call to hear more about his research.

At Carol’s request, I was conducting joint research as his professor in charge, preparing to welcome guests from the Imperial Conference.

“I really feel like a rat is coming out of my head… !”

Carol’s theoretical research, which was rife with highly elaborate formulas, was at a level that could only be followed by constant use of the magic calculator, an invention of the drowned body.

Thanks to that, I learned a vast amount of magic theories, and my eyes for magic formulas are changing day by day… .

As an English teacher by nature, just looking at these vast formulas made me feel dizzy.

“If I knew this would happen, I would have been a math teacher!”

“Mister.”

Even though I was in despair, I must have felt sorry for myself taking care of the papers I had read before going to bed and put them on my bedside.

Meriel spoke in a soft voice unlike usual.

“Still, it’s much better than the days when people asked if freezing water would turn it into an ice spear. It’s great to have grown this much in half a year.”

“Meriel, you know how to comfort yourself too… !”

“… In order for students like Carol to raise their skills to a level where they can properly teach, they will have to live like this for about a year.”

“Ugh… .”

Even in a novel, teaching students is not an easy task.

With that thought in mind, I… . He moved heavy steps towards Carol, who was waiting for Professor Ian who was unwavering.

“… Why did everyone run away?”

Combined with counseling practice. Dana, who tried to hear from the teaching assistants who had been through a lot with the chimera research so far and asked if there was anything difficult these days, had to return to the office after watching the back of them as they were quickly moving away.

“Still, the same team leader is teaching!”

Thinking that running away at the mere sight of her eyes was a bit too much, she grumbled and rolled across the desk as if it were a bed.

“Sure, I rolled a little hard at first… . But these days, you can clearly see the results of your research, so you should have loosened up a little more than before?”

At the request of the Imperial Army, an artificial monster, Chimera, was created after embarking on the development of an anti-monster bioweapon.

Professor Hadley created them by transforming his favorite plants, and they are expected by the generals who are currently commanding on the front line, but their practicality was questioned several times in the early days of the research.

I struggled the most when deciding what level to set the intelligence to, but it was impossible to identify friends or family for fools so stupid that they didn’t even know how to fear the enemy.

The individual who raised his intellectual level to the level where he was able to communicate scolded his assistants, saying that the idea of intervening artificial life to use in human warfare was extremely selfish.

Among them, there was a guy who asked for a skirt to cover the flower buds, but he made a fuss about taking responsibility for making himself look so ugly… .

“Well… . At that time, it was really a laboratory and a building, and there were several incidents that almost flew away.”

Now that she realized the hardships of the teaching assistants, she started thinking about ways to increase their share of the Chimera research results.

And.

“… what. Are you here already!?”

Dana could feel Charlotte’s mana hiding in the pillar on the other side of the door, even though there was an hour left until the consultation.

‘… I knew you were a vampire from the first time I met you.’

Dragons are more sensitive to the flow of mana than any other race, so no matter how high-level camouflage magic they cast, they couldn’t dare fool her eyes.

‘Because I can’t talk about that to my juniors, I couldn’t even tell them that Charlotte was a disguised vampire. By the way… . Why did he come out so early? Should I pretend not to know?’

Dana shook her head and cautiously rose from her seat.

After all, I couldn’t just sit there for an hour and pay attention to her presence.

“Haam… . I’m sleepy. Shall we go for a short walk?”

Thinking that it would be better to act as if she discovered it naturally, she came out to the office and stretched.

‘… hides very well Vampires are right.’

Dana started to approach Charlotte, who was holding her breath after entering the blind spot of the hallway pillar.

Gradually, they got closer to the pillar, and now they came to the point where the hem of Charlotte’s skirt should be visible.

‘Hey… !’

Charlotte took a few steps to the right of the post and ducked into a perfect blind spot again.

Dana stared at the pillar, then slowly began turning to the right.

“Ahahahaha… . Why does it look so pretty today?”

Even thinking about it, it was embarrassing nonsense, but fortunately passers-by passed by the pillar only hurried their steps without giving her a glance.

Dana circled the pillar without saying a word, but in the end, she couldn’t find Charlotte.

“… There you are.”

Thinking that the two of them would just keep going around this place, Dana eventually spoke to Charlotte across the street.

“Because it would be a bit difficult to play a coincidence any more than this, no matter how much it is me?”

“Hee!”

“Why did you come out so early… ?”
