Episode 87. Professor (5)

“So far! Sein, good job. you are really in good shape Haven’t you already been training for two hours?”

“It’s not training, it’s a life-and-death challenge… !”

“Oh. It did? Ehehehe, I keep forgetting. By the way, can it happen? Shall I help you?”

“No, I am fine. Come on, run again. There is no time to rest.”

“then… . Goes?”

Ina, who returned to the command center after a long time, was delighted.

Telvin, the head of the special combat department, smiled in relief as he looked down at Ina and Sein’s sparring that had been going on since daytime.

“Are you also from the new blue tribe? You’re much faster than me, and you use your nails well.”

“You’re slow for a Rangjok.”

“Why? Have you gained weight in the meantime? Somehow, I also missed a boy named Bill the other day-”

“I told you to focus on your opponent!”

“sorry! I thought of something else… .”

Sein is nagging, but in Telvin’s eyes, Ina was showing completely different movements from a few months ago.

‘It was dangerous, but to avoid Sein’s sword attack. Just a year ago, I couldn’t even think of using my body to avoid using my body to block only with the guardian spirit.’

After awakening to wildness under Professor Ian and learning how to contain the emotion of anger.

It was clear that Ina, who was learning the senses of the Rang tribe from Sein, had grown into a full-fledged wolf.

‘Professor Ian… . I never thought I could solve the homework that I couldn’t solve for two years in such a short time.’

Sein felt a heavy sense of inferiority at the fact that he was completely overwhelmed by Inna, who couldn’t find anything like a wolf.

Ina couldn’t understand such a partner, let alone grasp the animosity Sein harbored, and the misunderstanding between the two grew more and more.

‘but… . Now, it seems that Ina has started to be conscious of the world.’

Thanks to Inna who was able to grasp Sain’s feelings towards me, even a little, he was able to sublimate his inferiority complex into a passion to beat his rival.

As a result, now, Ina teaches necromancer skills, and Sein teaches the survival skills of the Rang people.

The two have developed into a relationship that complements each other’s shortcomings.

“I dodged everything! Sein, how are you!? Can I survive the arc with this?”

“Hey, what are you doing who has just started walking? . Big.”

“uh… . it’s okay? Do you think I really need to help you this time?”

I don’t think the day will come soon when Ina, a half-blooded Rang, will have a sharp wildness that satisfies Sein.

Even if Sein acknowledged Inna’s strength, it was unlikely that he would obey her.

‘A relationship like that isn’t bad either. By the way, has time passed like this already?’

The fact that I was going to go out to the vice-professor for a short time went far beyond the time I had already promised.

“If there is something urgent, will you come to find it?”

There were piles of documents waiting for his seal in the office, but he sat down in a chair in desperation and looked up at the sky and said,

“Soldier Ale. Long time no see, have you been waiting?”

“No, I just arrived. Professor.”

When Telvin greeted him, the young man who appeared from the shadows shook his hand and looked down toward the practice room.

“That… . Ina. I think I heard that you’re doing well at the Ministry of Magic, but the look in your eyes seems to have changed.”

“Come to think of it, Ina and you have been competing for the position of the head of the department since entering the school.”

“If Ina had even the slightest interest in test scores, I wouldn’t even be her opponent.”

Watching Ina dragging the exhausted Sain out of the exit, Ale said to him.

“Actually, I just stopped by the office, but the vice-professor is urgently looking for him.”

“The days are too good to keep stuck in that stuffy place.”

“… Is it too dull for that?”

“yes. Good weather for you and your master. Judging by the look on his face, it looks like he was looking for me because he had something he wanted to say.

“So, Charlotte is consulting with Professor Dana right now?”

“Yeah. If the lady’s situation doesn’t change this time, I’m thinking about whether I should recommend a transfer to the special combat department. That will give me more time to take care of you by my side.”

The special combat department, which was created at the request of the empire that talent other than magicians were needed, was higher than the Ministry of Magic, and the ratio of heterogeneous races was relatively low, so the entrance exam competition rate was very high.

Because the competition rate was too much of a barrier for Charlotte, who had to hide her strength, she had no choice but to apply to the Ministry of Magic to admit even the lowest-ranking students to fill the number of heads.

“Before… . I don’t think that’s a good idea. I don’t know if I should have revealed my race from the beginning, but isn’t Charlotte’s identity hidden from the school headquarters?”

“That’s right.”

“Of course, students are free to change departments. Transferring to another department would not be a problem in terms of school rules, but… . You won’t be able to avoid the suspicious eyes of the professors. Because it is not common.”

“Because I entered the Department of Magical Linguistics, which has a low competition rate… . It will have to be more difficult because it will have to go through the approval of Professor Hadley, who is notorious for being picky.”

“I have no choice but to gather my courage and hope that the consultation I applied for will be helpful. Well? Aha, now I understand.”

“Yeah?”

“I saw Professor Dana taking a female student with her on a walk earlier. He’s usually known for being so eccentric, so I didn’t pay much attention to him.”

“Stop, please. As rumored, human experiment… ! I’ll save you right now-“

Telvin became contemplative and grabbed Ale by the shoulder as he tried to run away.

“no. Leave it alone. You seem to be doing well.”

“Yeah… ?”

“In the faculty, there were occasional cases where new vampire students came in. The students who grew up outside the Esca Castle and finished adjusting to human society.”

All of them were low-class vampires with no blood donors, so they had to obtain animal or human blood to survive.

“Maybe that’s why, like Charlotte, she doesn’t seem to be afraid of humans. rather… . He didn’t hide his charisma and even managed to win over his classmates.”

If self-control is a virtue of vampires, then the act of indiscriminately releasing vampirism might be considered rude.

Vampires outside the castle, forced to walk a tightrope between faith and reality in order to survive, would not have had the luxury of thinking like that.

“… It is secularization.”

“yes. That’s what Charlotte needs right now.”

“How about it, doesn’t it sting even in the middle of the sun? If you apply this cream, you will be able to survive even if you cross the desert… ? But you know, Charlotte.”

“Yeah?”

“The road is so wide, why are you clinging to the wall?”

“Wherever I go, I feel comfortable in the corner… .”

“You too… . Aren’t you actually a coward even in the castle?”

“Oh no! I was fine inside Esca… .”

“… I can’t even imagine, boy.”

“Yeah, by the way. This works really well!”

“right? who made it Look, no one is looking at us.”

The Dulle-gil that I came to after lunch was full of people.

Between the crowd, Charlotte, who had taken off her usual hat, and Dana, dressed in school uniform, were walking sideways.

“If I had been like this, everyone would have run away. As long as I wear these glasses, everyone sees me as a schoolgirl on her way. So are you.”

“By the way, why did the professor look like that-”

“Because I can’t let you walk around in an embarrassing way by yourself.”

“Yeah, that was it… !”

The perception-deterring magic on the glasses Dana and Charlotte were wearing had such power that even professors could only detect it after staring at it for about five minutes.

To those with monstrous senses or psychic powers, it may seem like a trivial disguise, but… .

“How many people like that are in this school? Now, are you used to taking off your hat?”

“Yeah… .”

“Then now, what more can I do here-“

Dana looked around and picked up suspicious vials from her pocket.

“Who would like… . Oh, just happened to be there. see? The guy who tells the other kid to carry his bag?”

“Yes, yes… .”

“Look Carefully.”

Shortly thereafter, screams began to echo in the middle of the street.

* * *

“Successful muscle spasticity test. Healing leeches seem to need a bit more modification. The hair balm seems to work well-”

“School, professor… ?”

“great! Only with these guys can valuable clinical trial results be gathered. Ugh, it’s cool inside.”

A quiet street where everyone avoided their seats.

Leaving behind the terrifying test subject, Dana said to Charlotte.

“Don’t worry, even if you do this, you won’t know it’s me. Charlotte, do you remember what I said in the office?”

“Yes, sometimes in life you have to look crazy, so don’t be afraid to be rude… .”

“yes. That way people can’t touch you carelessly. Of course, you are the eldest daughter who represents your family, so doing something like this can be difficult.”

However, respect should only be given to those who deserve it.

“It’s like a compliment. If you go around complimenting everyone, nobody will be happy with your compliments when the time is up, right? They will take it for granted that you compliment someone.”

“Yes… .”

“Aunt Hadley who openly ignored you or the unlucky kids who gossiped behind your back should be bitten as much as they were. That way, other people will take your kindness for granted and appreciate it.”

When Charlotte was in Esca Castle, everyone was in awe of her, so she lived her life respecting everyone.

“Unlike there, this place is overflowing with mean people.”

Most of the humans she will meet will think of her as an ordinary girl and approach her without hesitation.

How can you participate in class without getting used to human habits?

“You care too much about how others see you. Today, let’s practice not paying attention together with me.”

“that’s… .”

“Did you see what I was doing? Now it’s your turn. If you go into the next class and meet kids who are sibbling on you, just destroy them.”

“I-can I… ?”

“You have to do it. Shouldn’t you be able to sit in the lecture hall by yourself if you know how to protect yourself? Then, try talking to the person sitting next to you. You can’t always talk about me and your love for your house, can you?”

“Yeah, that’s right… .”

“Don’t worry too much. one by one. If you start with simple conversations and practice slowly, you will gradually get used to calming down your vampirism. I’ll help too!”

You could bite your tongue while talking, or you could do something stupid and be treated like a weirdo.

If the arrow from that action does not return to you, there is no reason to fear mistakes.

“If you think about it, these people are all your food. Why are you trembling over food?”

“Then really, if you let go of reason-”

“Ah, actually you know. Among the high-ranking vampires who are continuously supplied with blood, Dipel did not appear. If you’re never hungry, how can you go crazy with hunger?”

You cannot live your daily life under an overly strict doctrine.

Trying not to properly face vampirism in human society is as foolish as trying to breathe under the sea.

“And, by any chance, the day comes when you’re blinded by blood… . I will take responsibility and bring you back to normal.”

“I-I really… ?”

“Of course. I’m your professor, and there’s nothing I can’t do.”
