As soon as Principal Russell began directing the investigation, the case was quickly dealt with.

It took less than two days to deal with even the large-scale incident caused by Professor Hemes without a trace.

It only took one day to complete the investigation and disciplinary action for this sexual manipulation case.

By punishing those involved in the case and disciplinary action being given.

First of all, Edward Rumbelt, the original cause of the incident, received the highest level of discipline that can be received at the student level.

Forced expulsion from the academy and expungement of enrollment records.

In the first place, all of my grades so far have been a silent tower built with money, not skill.

It was only natural for him to be kicked out of the academy as soon as his hidden infidelities were revealed.

“why! Why am I being expelled, you damn bastards!!”

Even though he didn’t know why he was expelled.

From a broader perspective, that guy must have been a victim who was forced to enter the academy because of his family, with a talent unsuitable for swordsmanship.

In any case, he was also a typical Rumbelt family man in that he did not acknowledge the extent of his ability and condescended.

Especially since in my previous life, I was also the cause of the crisis that Stella and I almost died.

I didn’t feel any sympathy whatsoever.

I just don’t want to look at him, so I just hope he disappears from the academy quickly.

For reference, professors who participated in Edward Rumbelt’s sexual manipulation were consistently given a somewhat weaker punishment of three years’ salary reduction.

First of all, there were five or six professors who were involved in the incident, including this semester, so it must be burdensome for the academy to issue too severe punishment.

The amount the Rumbelt family offered to the professors in the first place wouldn’t have been a penny or two, so even if they weren’t the target professors, it would have been hard to shake off the temptation.

It would not be possible to change all the professors of the swordsmanship department with this much work, and in the end, it seemed that the level of punishment was set in the form of deducting the annual salary by the amount of money received.

That was enough.

Once I had a disciplinary record left, I wouldn’t think of committing infidelity again.

Above all, Stella’s grades, which were the initial purpose, returned to normal.

Once that was done, how much the salaries of professors were reduced was not a big concern.

“Thank you, Senior Conrad.”

Stella showed me the report card corrected to a perfect score and shyly thanked me.

“I have nothing to thank. It’s just that the grades you should have gotten came back anyway.”

“But if it wasn’t for Conrad senior, the result wouldn’t have changed.

The one who kept me from giving up when I was giving up early was none other than Conrad senior.”

“To think so, think so.”

First of all, it didn’t lead to Stella’s frustration with the unjust reality, so that alone is a great harvest.

Of course, even if I hadn’t stepped forward because of this incident, she would have had to overcome her frustration and get up on her own.

It didn’t mean that I had to endure all the injustices that I didn’t have to go through.

“Anyway, with this, we can expect the top of the grade, right? You shouldn’t say that it will be difficult again now.”

“Yeah! So as not to embarrass Conrad-senpai and the other seniors, I will proudly claim the top spot in the 2nd year of the swordsmanship club!”

Until now, I’ve never felt particularly ashamed of Stella.

How on earth could he be ashamed of his second-place ranking? He was still overly strict with himself.

“If I become the top sophomore this semester, there is something I would like to say to Conrad senior.”

“suddenly?”

“Senior Conrad may feel that it is sudden, but I have been thinking about it since last year.”

What on earth do you want to talk about, so you’re saying you’re going to talk about it only after you’ve won the top of the sophomore year?

I was also a bit curious about the content.

“If you happen to be the top swordsman, are you going to ask for a wish as a reward?”

“… I can’t tell you what it is now, but it’s a similar story.”

“yes. If that’s the case, what is it?”

In the first place, if it was Stella’s request, I’d be willing to accept it, even if I didn’t put any conditions on it.

If this can boost her desire to improve, it will work much better to leave it as it is.

“I’ll be looking forward to what kind of wishes you will tell me.”

“Yes, Senior Conrad.”

“And it’s been a story I’ve been wanting to tell for a while, but since the title of senior is a little hard, can I change it?”

And this time, I also brought out a problem that I had been thinking about for a long time to Stella.

In the first place, Stella in my previous life called me ‘Mr. Conrad’, so to be honest, I also wanted to be called by a familiar title.

More than anything, I’ve known her for a year and still call her senior, because I felt a strange sense of distance, wondering if I hadn’t gotten close to her yet.

That’s why I got into the mood and said it once.

Rather, as if Stella hadn’t even thought of it, it was a rather shocking expression.

“Did you not like the title of senior until now?”

“No, it’s not that I don’t like it. Having known each other for a year, I thought that senior was a bit of a hard title.

And it’s not just that we’ve known each other for a year. We do physical training together every morning, and participate in the hunting festival twice. During winter vacation last year, we spent a month at the nursery school together.

I thought I became quite close with Stella, but was I the only one who thought that way?”

“It’s not even fair, Senior Conrad! Of course, I also have feelings of indescribable affection for senior Konrad!”

Fortunately, it seemed that I wasn’t the only one who felt that I had become friends with Stella.

“Seo, if the title of senior is burdensome, is there a title you would like someone else to call you?”

“Just plain ‘Mr. Conrad’?”

“Mr. Conrad… . It’s not a name that really touches my heart… .”

“yes?”

“Rather, don’t you have a sense of distance more than seniors? Above all, the title of Mr. Conrad does not contain my respect for you.”

Do you really need to put your heart into the title?

In any case, Stella’s words made sense.

Looking back, the title Mr. Conrad that Stella used to call me in my previous life was the result of a somewhat awkward relationship at the first meeting that stuck.

It only feels familiar to me, but it probably doesn’t touch Stella now.

If it’s a title that’s a little closer to Stella’s heart than a senior, then… .

“Then take out the ‘nim’ from senior, and call me senior Conrad.”

“That’s good enough! It’s a feeling that touches my heart too!”

“Would you like to call me as a test?”

“Okay, Ko, Senior Conrad… .”

I don’t know why, but it felt like it was a strangely unfamiliar title.

There was nothing particularly embarrassing about it, but there were things that I felt even more so because of Stella blushing.

“… … sir.”

“… yes.”

It probably took a little more time for them to get used to each other completely.

Edward Rumbelt’s expulsion was finalized, and Stella’s bad grades were back to normal.

There was still something in my heart that was a little uncomfortable to say that I had finished my work.

That’s why I moved to the swordsmanship department faculty building to have a last talk before it was too late.

After going up to the third floor of the swordsmanship faculty building, I could see that an office was half open.

Looking beyond the door, the giant wolf beast man was moving, it seemed like he was organizing his last things before leaving the academy.

After fully opening the half-open door and entering, Professor Wolfin packs his belongings… No, I said hello to Wolfin.

“Are you leaving now?”

“… … .”

The wolfman’s hand stopped as he was organizing his luggage, and his head moved in the direction the voice was heard.

Although most of the swordsmanship professors involved in the sexual manipulation case ended their disciplinary actions at the reduced salary line.

As expected, he could not avoid heavy punishment as he was the most guilty Wolf.

It has been confirmed that Wolfin did not stop at raising Edward’s grades, and deliberately lowered Stella’s grades.

Because Stella’s protests were ignored and even the circumstances of her threats were found out.

Therefore, Wolfin’s discipline did not end at the salary cut line like other academy professors, and he was given a 5-year suspension as a professor, which was not light.

It also meant that after today, at least until I graduated, I wouldn’t be able to meet the wolf people at the academy.

“Are you here to laugh?”

“Yeah?”

“yes. you won, i lost Are you satisfied with hearing this?”

Perhaps he misunderstood that I had come to mock the punished Wolf.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and admitted defeat surprisingly easily.

“Don’t say things like that. I wasn’t specifically trying to beat Mr. Wolf.”

“… Yes, if I had to argue, it would be natural for me to pay for the sins I committed.

You’ve been acting crazy for a while now that you’re getting more and more unable to afford Reina’s medication. I wasn’t following that stupid suggestion.”

“Your daughter’s name was Reina.”

“I’m sorry for being annoyingly stubborn. The same goes for your friend Stella.

Now that my wife is dead, Reina is my only family, so the thought of trying to save that child somehow led to this result.”

Everyone had a story.

It would be nice if there were only good and bad people who can be defined as good and bad, but the majority of people in the world who could not be defined as good or bad people accounted for the majority.

The Wolf man who manipulated Stella’s grades and made her cry must be a good man to his daughter.

I, who corrected the injustice and returned Stella’s grades to normal, would also become a villain from the wolf’s point of view.

Just what each person values more.

When people with conflicting values collide, who has more power to fulfill their will?

It was a very natural and simple logic that the world would go around because of those things.

“What do you plan to do in the future?”

“Like in previous years, the hunting guild will deal with monsters. I can’t just play and do nothing.

Even so, you won’t be able to get the same skills as before, and the salary will be less than the current professor’s salary.”

“I recommend that you go to the Penbelzar Plain, south of the capital, and settle down with your daughter in Liandry Village.”

The wolf man’s gaze met mine as he listened to me.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“The best way to cure your daughter’s illness is to prevent her from being too exposed to artificial magic.”

Although she is now dead, the Wolfman’s wife, Miss Reina’s mother, was a human woman.

Although mixed blood between humans and beasts is not common, it is not well known, but children of mixed blood of the two races often suffer from similar diseases.

The most representative is artificial magic poisoning.

It is a disease in which the artificial magic power used in magic tools corrodes the body, and the symptoms worsen rapidly in the city center where there are many convenient magic tools.

The official name was not artificial magic poisoning, but a different disease, so it was a time when neither the cause nor the cure was known.

It was only natural that the wolfman’s head tilted after hearing my words.

“Because the actual cause of your daughter’s current illness is artificial magic poisoning. Settle down as a small town with few magical tools and plenty of exposure to the pure magic of nature.

It is a common disease among mixed beasts and humans. Most people still don’t know that this disease is caused by artificial magic.”

“… Then how do you know?”

“… Among my party members, I have a friend who is a Suin. It just came naturally to me.”

I’m sorry, Lulu. Let’s borrow a name this time.

After hearing my words, the wolf man put on a worried expression as if he couldn’t believe it.

“I can’t help it if you can’t believe it. After all, considering your daughter’s illness, wouldn’t a quiet village be better than the city center?”

“… If what you say is true, why are you telling me?”

“It doesn’t really mean anything.

If I had to argue, apart from my anger at the manipulation of Stella’s grades, the reason must be that I want my daughter to recover safely from her illness.”

“… … .”

“Anyway, I said what I had to say. Believe it or not, Mr. Wolfin can choose.”

I walked out of the professor’s office, leaving behind the wolf man who was lost in thought.

Anyway, I’ve said everything I have to say.

If the Wolfman doesn’t listen to me and my daughter gets worse, it’s the Wolfman’s fault, not mine for suspending him.

After a while, I heard a story that a wagon carrying a werewolf was headed south, but I couldn’t find out if it was a wolf or another werewolf.

I just quietly hoped that the Wolf Man hadn’t made another wrong choice.
