Academy Slave Instructor - Chapter 151
151 – A Good Teacher
A Good Teacher
Mia sits on a bench in the waiting room and closes her eyes.
With the first round match on the horizon, Mia recalls the training she had with Lai and her seniors.
Tough training to the point where the bullying kids feel funny.
Broken bones and swollen faces are routine, and fainting several times a day is hell.
Ray’s fist that I can’t recognize, Philia’s sword that strikes every corner with all my heart, Aslan’s power that gave me nothing to control my strength, Abigail’s foot that doesn’t hesitate to kick at the slightest sign of weakness…
And Zeroa’s fighting style is too difficult to deal with.
Seeing him questioning his own skills, Mia couldn’t understand.
Thanks to her overwhelming magical power, she only won once, but Mia thinks Zeroa is the most difficult person to deal with among her seniors.
It is true that his strength is lacking compared to other seniors.
However, counters that come in unconditionally whenever you try to do something as if you are reading all the targets, obsession to aim for the part that the opponent is uncomfortable with, and various battle stances that can match it.
If the other seniors just feel that they are overwhelmingly strong, the gap is visible as if they will win against Zeroa, but when they get closer, the gap is tightly closed, giving the impression of being nasty.
‘No… Right now I’m thinking of myself…’
Remembering Rai’s words to focus on herself to the point of being selfish, Mia takes a small breath.
I don’t know who my opponent is, but he had to show off the skills he’s trained so far.
From here on, your future will change, and the children you have bullied for a year will not be able to meet your eyes.
To do that, I had to get good grades in martial arts competitions.
Prove a better future and to those who believed in and helped you.
Resolutely determined, Mia opens her eyes and faces the reality of the future.
“hehehe!”
Mia steps back in fright at the blue eyes she sees as soon as she opens her eyes.
“Eheh- hey, hey. Did you meditate well?”
Diana, who was holding her face close enough to kiss her, smiles and lifts Mia, who fell behind her.
Diana pats her on the shoulder as she blushes and sits next to her exhaling Mia.
“You’re so surprised. Is my face so scary?”
“No! No! Senior Diana is pretty!”
“Eh-If you say that, it’s rather making her lose confidence.”
Diana giggles.
“Why is Diana-senpai here…?”
“Huh? I’m here to see our cute Mia.”
I have to prepare for her 1st round, but when I see her who came to see her, she wonders and asks her Mia, and Diana smiles brightly and puts her arms around her shoulder.
Then she tilts her head and whispers in her Mia’s ear.
“Mia’s opponent is Huel Paras.”
Huel Paras. She is her academy student who is at the forefront of bullying Mia.
The son of her merchant, who had a fairly established place in her empire, and actively bullied her after Mia caused her accident in her mana control lecture.
As soon as she heard her name, Mia’s pupils fluttered, but soon her shaking stopped and her cute eyes showed life.
“Yes, yes. That’s the way it is. Your eyes have become prettier.”
Mia listens to Diana’s seductive words and asks cautiously.
“But how does senpai know that…?”
I haven’t revealed to the academy students who the opponent is yet.
And I knew that matchups were all decided randomly.
Diana’s eyes narrow and she smiles.
“Wouldn’t it be a big deal if Violet and Sojeta match from the first round? Well, even if they go down to the loser’s group, they’ll beat them all, but the instructors also want to avoid such a misfortune.”
“……”
“So, the first round is distributed in order of skill. From the second round, it’s random, so even the instructors don’t know.”
Having said that, Diana brings her face closer to Mia while her eyes shine.
“But teachers can’t figure out all the academy students. So, when setting the bracket, give a few people from each grade, except for the first year, a chance to interfere.”
“That…”
“She can only give an opinion, however.”
She sets up a system that can be suspected of infidelity, and Diana nailed it in advance that she has no right to decide.
“So I gave Mia my only right to speak. Fortunately, the instructors listened.”
At the sound of her Diana’s low voice, Mia looks at her with her dazed expression.
Her face is so close that she can feel her breath, but Mia doesn’t notice.
“Why… Help me…”
“Is Mia cute? Can I kiss her?”
“aaah”
Only then did Diana get up from her seat, laughing at Mia stepping back.
“You were planning to solve the first year’s problems anyway. Regardless of the outcome of this match, Huel and all the ringleaders will be sanctioned.”
She was in the situation that Mia had dreamed of until she met Zeroa.
Her bullying towards her was known to her sophomores through Zeroa, and Diana tried to solve it right away, but she had to put it off for a while due to Mia’s will.
Mia, who believes in Rai and Zeroa, asked that she not get involved until the martial arts competition, and Diana kept her word.
She also arranged for her to pay her back.
“It’s not until the last chance…But it’s definitely a chance to kill. Oh, if you kill it, you’ll be disqualified, so be careful.”
“Thank you.”
Diana, smiling brightly at the sun, bends down and hugs Mia, who greeted her, and leaves the waiting room.
Sitting in her seat, Mia takes a deep breath, calming her pounding heart.
Mia, who always failed, was unfamiliar with the feelings she felt now.
Not a trembling from fear, but excitement.
She had never felt anything like this before.
Mia thinks that maybe this is the pleasure of revenge that Rai said, and tries to calm her mind.

“The 21st match of Round 1 at Stadium B! 1St year Mia Istvan vs 1st year Huel Paras!”
Originally, the contestants were not told and the contestants would fight right after entering, but this time outside guests would come and the stadium referee would introduce the academy students.
She had a fuller audience than last year, but Mia or Huel, who was appearing for the first time, was unknown.
Huel enters the arena first, and Mia enters later.
The eyes of the people sitting in the audience are focused on Mia as a huge lump of iron that is bigger than her body is floating behind Mia and following her.
Huel frowns and looks at her Mia, as if she doesn’t like getting more attention than he does.
“Tank, didn’t you manage to escape?”
“……”
“Can’t you talk because you’re scared?”
“Huel Paras, have the dignity of an academy academy student. Is it an academy academy student who mocks others?”
At the words of Dudley, an academy employee who came up as a referee, Huel looked at him for a while and turned his head.
“Yes, I have to listen to the staff who couldn’t even be lecturers. Losers get along well.”
Dudley doesn’t react to his sarcasm, prepares the two and goes down.
Despite Dudley’s words to begin, the two look at each other without fighting.
“You are hated everywhere you go? I heard that you are being beaten by instructor Rai and seniors as well? Ugh, such indiscriminate violence. So even if I touch you, you don’t react. Did I make you too weak?”
In Huel’s eyes, Mia’s training seemed like she was being bullied.
Especially in the case of continuous sparring, one by one they take turns attacking each other until they fall down, reminiscent of a real battle.
“Is being hated a talent? You have two talents? That’s amazing~ If I apply for private lessons from instructor Rai, can I play as much as I want? What do you think…”
“There he is.”
Mia covers Huel’s mouth, who was talking freely.
“When are you going to attack me? If you’re not coming, I’ll go.”
“…… The b*tch is f*cking big.”
Huel frowns at her and draws his sword.
At the same time, her crescent moon behind her in her Mia rotates and puts her in the center of her.
Just by placing it in front of her eyes, as the daunting iron mass rotates as if protecting Mia, Huel cannot enter easily and hovers around her.
“Come to the martial arts competition with the theme of being a pure wizard? You seem to believe in that ignorant iron, but I’ll turn them all into scrap metal.”
Because of her crescent moon’s presence, Huel, who is only talking about her mouth while not being able to approach her, begins to gather her mana.
When did she change her course with her knight, Mia, who wondered why she was called a pure mage, saw her weapon in her hand and understood.
‘If you beat it with a sharp weapon, you can only hit a few. If I get stuck with him, I’ll take off the spear and get out.’
She came out with a staff, not a spear, under Lai’s spell, and she misunderstood.
She doesn’t look at herself at all and judges people only with her weapon. Mia, who is ridiculous, collects her mana with an absurd smile.
From noble mtl dot com
The combat method that Rai created in the first place begins with defense.
It was rather advantageous if the other party had no intention of entering.
The insignificant and incomparable mana that Huel collects spurts out, and a magical sphere the size of her fist comes to life in front of Mia.
Inside her transparent orb, mana containing enormous power was swirling freely among themselves.
As Huel steps behind her, wary of the magic orb, which looks dangerous even to a stranger, Mia smiles and spews her mana again.
“The Jewel of Akasha.”
In front of Mia, a magical ball of flames is created.
The magical orb named Akasha’s Jewel revolves around Mia like a crescent moon and threatens her surroundings.
“Doesn’t it come in? Will it keep happening?”
Mia sees Huel and asks her, and she creates another gem.
As time passed, as a huge mass of mana began to form, Huel seemed to be impatient, concentrating the mana he had accumulated so far on the sword and swinging it.
A red sword line forms along his sword, and sharp energy shoots towards Mia.
Mia, who was trying to move her jewel, aimed her crescent moon at the energy and shot it in a worse attack than she thought.
– Quaang!
The energy meets the crescent moon, causing a huge explosion and Huel protrudes from the dirt.
“Nothing to protect you now?”
As Huel approached with a wicked smile and swung his sword, Mia turned her wand once and pressed his sword to the ground.
“Back. Watch out.”
Before Mia could finish her words, Huel lowered her stance as if lying down.
– Boo Woong
The crescent moon, which made a terrifying sound as much as her size, brushes through Huel’s hair and flies towards Mia.
The crescent moon, which was flying at her speed, stopped suddenly in front of her missing child, and then rotated again, placing her in the center and protecting her.
Mia looks on with her limp expression as Huel frowns behind her as if crawling on her floor.
“At least… This much? Then you wouldn’t even have to try until now.”
“You cheeky b*tch…”
Huel glared at him as if he were going to kill him.
In the meantime, she made another jewel and left 4 of them floating around, but she fights Huel with only her staff, as if she has no intention of using the jewel and the crescent moon.
Every time he strikes, a precise stab cuts off the sword, and subsequent stabs strike every corner of Huel’s body.
She learned from her own body how to hit where it hurts.
It shows an overwhelming difference in skill, but in fact Huel was not capable of being pushed this far.
He is also an academy student, so he has some level of ability.
The reason why it keeps stopping is because of the crescent moon and jewels that protect Mia’s surroundings.
A magic orb that seems dangerous to anyone is wandering around, and a crescent moon that threatens just by its existence restricts the attack path.
Thanks to the limited path, his attacks are easy to predict, and he is often defeated, and if he seems to seize even the slightest opportunity, his magic orb will block him.
He didn’t do anything in particular, but when the magic sphere wobbles and changes position, Huel cares.
The inexperienced Huel’s concentration keeps diverting, and Mia’s cane digs in between them.
“Keukkuk…”
Huel, struck in the stomach, takes two steps back and gets down on one knee.
“You mean b*tch… Is it good to win with a weapon like that?”
When Huel speaks, Mia tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand.
“If you used this properly, you’re already dead.”
When she said that she was looking after her, Huel’s tongue, which she had been mocking nonstop until now, stopped.
Goosebumps run down Mia’s spine as she looks down at him on her knees with a mixture of frustration, humiliation and anger.
It was joy, not fear.
A terrifying pleasure travels down her spine and dyes her brain.
Mia’s cheeks turn red, but she hides her excitement as her cold emotions rush over her.
Recalling Rai’s words to be careful, Zeroa’s warm smile, and the faces of her seniors, Mia shakes off her pleasure.
She
She and she laughs dejectedly.
“Let’s stop.”
Mia doesn’t know who she’s talking to, but she thinks it’s to herself, so Huel gritting her teeth and lunges at her.
“f*ck!! Don’t look down at your b*tch!!”
Mia did not move as she saw Huel screaming and running towards her.
Instead, she moves the jewel that had only wandered around until now.
A jewel containing flames and a jewel swirling with her magical power block the two and crash into each other.
– Kwaaang!!
A huge magical storm is created and the surrounding area is swept away.
The flames and blue mana indulge each other and scatter in all directions, and Huel flies to the end of the arena and collides with the barrier before collapsing powerlessly.
“The winner. Mia Stephen.”
Once Dudley confirmed that the fainted Huel was still alive, cheers erupted from the audience when Dudley announced the winner.
In the midst of her loud cheers, Mia finds Rai sitting in her seat and bows to her.
“Thank you.”
Mia might not have heard her because she was far away and the surroundings were noisy, but Mia speaks sincerely to Rai.
Praise to the great teacher who gave me the strength and the mental strength not to be eaten by the power.
