I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy - Chapter 120



120. Festival Night

Instructors must be a support for students.

We must prevent their deviation and guide the wandering youth to the right path.

Miho has only put that belief into action until now.

And, Scarlett has so far refused to interact with any instructors except her teacher.

It was not easy for them to speak,

There was only a slightly disgruntled silence.

And, what broke the silence.

Surprisingly, it was Scarlett.

“This is not a story for you to solve.”

It was a correct opinion.

From her own ruined family to the feelings she had for a man named Ivan Kherson.

She had to explain everything before she could start talking, and Scarlett didn’t want to do that.

I gave back the perfume I received,

For some reason, the prisoner instructor did not accept it.

All I do is look at the little boy and chuckle.

“Then, let’s start with my story.”

From noble mtl dot come

“What?”

Scarlett was questioning herself,

Miho continues talking without paying attention.

“All citizens of the empire, including you, will recognize it at a glance, but I am not born in the empire.”

It was just as he said.

The tail and ears did not belong to the empire.

The label of being a stranger.

A beast that cannot cut it out or cover it.

Because it was a topic that Scarlett was also curious about,

I guessed what she said.

“Where on earth did you come from?”

“It’s far away from the empire, across the sea to the east. “It’s my hometown, and beastmen weren’t that unusual there.”

“There is such a place? But why doesn’t anyone know?”

It was pure curiosity,

Soon Scarlett regretted it.

“Because it was destroyed.”

“…”

“It might be because the community was too small to handle the monsters that were constantly attacking us from the Demon Continent. “I was the only one who managed to escape with my life.”

“…I guess your skills have been outstanding since then?”

“You overestimate me. Back then, I was just a kid with fox ears. “He was a weakling who only knew how to use other people’s lives as a stepping stone and run endlessly.”

The past of a prisoner heard for the first time.

Scarlett closed her mouth.

It is also a sensitive topic,

I was curious.

Why are you telling yourself this?

“That’s how we finally arrived, this place, the empire. But it was hard to adapt.”

“…Why?”

“Because I am not a citizen of the empire. To begin with, it doesn’t look like a human being to others.”

“…”

“I begged for help, sewed rags over and over again, and slept on the side of the road. “When I think about it again, I wonder how on earth I lived.”

Scarlett knew.

What the prisoner in front of you is trying to say.

“If you look at it that way, wouldn’t you say that you and I are quite similar?”

“…”

Miho may have come to appease Scarlett for Ivan’s sake, but maybe…

She may have seen her own past her in her her her her her.

She may have felt a sense of kinship.

You can’t know what’s inside other people,

At least Scarlett felt that way.

“Still, I guess your situation is a little better.”

“…What does it mean?”

“Isn’t there a teacher who will listen seriously even if you say something rude? In my case, the monster scab kicked me for being noisy.”

A teacher who will listen to her own words.

Scarlett thought.

The Blaze family,

With her her own past her her her,

Ivan in it.

Recheck the records from that time,

Verify all facts,

To believe in Ivan.

So much preparation was needed.

It may be impossible.

She wanted to ask too.

But, that could not be possible.

“It’s complicated. I don’t intend to disparage the ups and downs of your life, but… “

As if blurring the ends of her words,

Scarlett and Ivan could never become closer.

No matter how hard I try to reach it,

It felt like an irresistible core kept pulling us apart.

“That’s strange. “Isn’t it similar in this way?”

“…What are you talking about?”

“If I were you, I would have just hit you head on.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Scarlett clasped her hands tightly.

I felt she was being irresponsible.

It just seemed like she was making fun of someone else’s business and was intoxicated by her own cool appearance.

Hit it head on?

Are you saying that Scarlett should start by saying that she searched Ivan’s room and throw all her her own suspicions her in his her face her her her?

What’s the meaning there?

“Try to shorten it.”

“What?”

“I don’t know what your problem is with Ivan. Actually, it might not be a problem. It may be a personal concern, or it may be some kind of resentment towards the teacher. But-“

Miho said.

“Sometimes the clearest answer comes when you just ask what you want, rather than giving a hundred-word explanation.”

“…”

“Today might be the right time. “Until the memorial service is over, keep your words in order.”

Miho stands up while saying that.

Scarlett thought.

A question I have for Ivan.

And, the answer I crave.

First meeting. How did you recognize yourself back then?

What was your position in the past disaster?

What do you want from yourself in the future?

All those complicated threads,

The point is to tie it all together.

If so, first of all,

The biggest premise had to come first.

“…Do you trust that instructor?”

“Huh.”

Scarlett held her breath.

As dumbfounded as the prisoner instructor in front of her was, she momentarily regretted asking that question.

“I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear that rumor.”

“…”

Scarlett bows her head in shame.

When she raised her head, it was already…

There was no one.

“Damn…”

Just a sad bottle of perfume left behind,

She just rolled around in her grasp.

—

The end of the classroom is not that far away.

If I were to measure it, it wouldn’t be more than thirty meters.

In this place, if you want to adjust the difficulty of shooting to your taste.

There was only one way,

It was a bit severe.

A target the size of a fingernail stuck on a blackboard.

I was caught up in the novel worry of which was bigger, that target or the loaded rubber bullets.

Taang! Taang!

“Hmm.”

Soon she found out that it was false.

Bang!

Three percussion sounds almost continuously.

The first and second shots missed,

Adella got the hang of the ‘broken gun’ in only two of the three opportunities given.

A target smaller than a rubber bullet,

I hit it mercilessly and dropped it.

“Crazy…”

“No, can you see this?”

The students’ exclamations of astonishment were a bonus.

In this way, Adella received the highest grade product.

“Oh my.”

A pair of rings.

It looks like you really liked that.

“Here, instructor. Please accept it.”

“Can I take it?”

“What are you doing again? So far, I have only received Miss Paula, so please take care of these things.”

After saying that, I slyly stopped Adela from putting her ring on my left ring finger her her her.

After putting the ring on her her index finger her her her,

She turned around and looked for Paula.

“You’ve waited a long time… Huh?”

“Instructor.”

Paula and Adela.

And then he looked at my hand and the young lady’s hand in turn.

He spoke in a very determined voice.

“I… I’ll stay here just a little longer!”

And then he rushed towards the student,

They were whispering and making some sort of plot.

Of course, I heard everything.

“Um, similar to that ring… Two souvenirs. “Can I possibly get it?”

“Yes, yes. Holy woman. Sure. We have a lot of things ready for you. What is the difficulty level…”

“Well, let’s go with the easiest one…”

—

The saint’s challenge continued until the sun set,

I started to have some pretty profane thoughts.

It’s boring.

After all, cheering gets tiring after an hour.

Adela snorted at her long ago and took more of her souvenirs for me and disappeared,

I also quickly left the classroom.

I was almost certain that he would still be here even if I came an hour later.

While I was walking down the hallway like that,

The students outside the window caught my eye.

“Hey, hold it right there!”

“This isn’t going to explode, is it? If it explodes, will everyone die?”

Firecrackers piled up like a mountain.

And, magic circles that will add to its power and splendor.

It was a sight that was rarely seen in the modern times where I lived, and that was why I was distracted.

Tuk-

“Oh, sorry…”

“Professor Emeritus Ivan. “It was here.”

The person who crashed into it was instructor Miho.

It seemed like he was looking for me, and I stopped.

“Hey, where did the other one go?”

“…Ah. You mean Scarlett? That’s right. I’m still looking for it with my eyes, but I can’t see it. Well, I’m sure you’re having fun somewhere-“

“That’s not true.”

“…Yes?”

Honestly, I had given up on Scarlett halfway.

Of course, it’s about likeability.

Even if we don’t meet each other today, we won’t be able to build more trust with her.

I wondered where I would have a good time.

However, Miho said.

“It means I’m not enjoying it.”

“What does that mean?”

“Well. “Why don’t you go and ask?”

Saying so, she pointed.

A place that has nothing to do with memorial services.

“…In the sparring hall? Is that really true?”

Sparring grounds.

It was creepy. No, if she could have expressed more horror than that, she would have said so.

In this season, at this time.

Breaking dolls?

Is this a person? Is this an extraordinary feat that an intelligent being with a human heart inside it can do?

“Let’s go to the rooftop.”

“…Rooftop?”

I guess breaking the doll is…

I don’t think so.

“Oh, this is a gift.”

“Oh.”

Trying to pass her quickly,

She was held in those hands.

A small perfume bottle held in my hand.

“Something like Elysia perfume. “I heard it smells good.”

“Why did you do this to me… Didn’t you have a hobby of spraying perfume?”

“That’s true, but I don’t think there’s any need to change the perfume I use.”

Miho says that and turns around.

Her eyes were clearly smiling.

“You said you liked it, so that’s it.”

“…”

“At the next memorial service, please take some time.”

Just like that, Miho disappeared,

I put the perfume bottle in my pocket.

And then, we set off.

At the same time, it is the furthest place from the festival,

A place where students are not allowed to enter.

Therefore, this is probably the best place to see the fireworks that are about to be launched.

Towards the rooftop of the sparring hall.

“…Scarlett.”

The sunlight in the sky turned black,

Each person’s memories became a handful of background.

It was quiet here,

No one paid attention.

The instructors, the chairman, the students, and the principal.

In Russell’s shadow, which no one cares about.

“…”

She was sitting.

I could tell just by looking at the back.

And, she recognized me too.

Just the sound of footsteps.

“Ivan.”

“You’ve been hit on the back.”

It was called by name.

This may be the first time.

Is that why?

Scarlett’s back looked like it was when I first met her.

With thorns all over his body his his his,

A time when I pushed away everyone who approached me.

Because it felt that way,

I had no choice but to act like this.

Sigh-

“…”

He took off her coat and placed it over her shoulders.

And she sat next to him.

The bottom was completely dark,

Two pairs of legs were lowered there.

A candle-like night scene unfolded before my eyes.

I couldn’t care about anything.

Because…

“You can just tell me. There is no need for grandiose rhetoric or complex head-to-head battles.”

Because she was crying.

Really quietly,

So much so that you wouldn’t even know it unless you got close.

“I will listen.”
